Chapter 209 – Naked Dungeon Life Side Story (17)
Kwa-gwang- coo-gu-gu-gu!
A huge building with a height of more than 20 floors collapses on its side like a child’s toy.
All around was a haze of dust rising from the ruins of the building.
The giant praying mantis suddenly appeared and began to rampage without being able to distinguish the heavens and the earth.
Not only the Awakeners from the Okinawa Awakening Bureau near the gate, but also those from the mainland who were sneaking around and approaching were all caught up in it.
Due to the dust that covered all sides, it was impossible to immediately confirm whether they were alive or dead, but surviving in this mayhem was like a miracle.
“Everyone run away!”
Someone yelled loudly.
Even the regular dragon mantis needed a group of four or five to deal reliably.
They should be the size of a little big horse, but how many people does that huge monster need?
No, is it really a being that humans can deal with?
The boss monster of Gate 12 has already appeared in the past.
At the time of the first rampage, he was the boss of Lizard Man at the time.
Okinawa suffered tremendous damage at the time, and many Awakeners as well as many ordinary people lost their lives.
However, there was hope that he would be able to defeat him, even if it was difficult.
In the end, the Transcendentalists from the mainland who appeared later defeated them.
But what the hell is that huge monster in front of me?
The attack doesn’t work at all.
Something so thick that it sprouted all over the body like a dragon’s scales, making a high-strength steel plate look ridiculous.
The sword wielded by senior Awakeners easily cuts even the frontal armor of the latest armored vehicles.
But I couldn’t even give him a scratch.
In the first place, it is difficult to even approach now.
However, if ranged attacks are effective, that is not the case either.
The javelin attack, which he tried by squeezing mana, and the arrow attack, which boasted tremendous penetrating power, were useless.
Magic was no different.
Kwagwagwagwang!
Hidetoshi, the leader of the mainland side, hit him with a blow of conversion.
It was a full blow that poured most of the remaining mana.
In this situation, she did not do anything stupid to spare the energy to deal with her countrymen in Okinawa.
No matter how important the punishment of the traitor was, such an unconventional monster could not be allowed to roam the territory of Japan.
Magical power extending from his fist exploded near the giant mantis’s eyeball.
It was his idea that even though he was a boss monster, he couldn’t be immune to such a powerful magic explosion.
At least, at least I’ll make him lose his eyesight!
That was his duty and pride as a leader of hundreds of Awakeners who boasted the best skills in Japan.
The dust around the boss disappeared in the aftermath of the explosion just now.
The hideous exterior began to be reflected in the eyes of the Awoken around him.
Device gig.
The mantis’ hideous mouth on its huge head moves quickly and makes strange noises.
The large eyes unique to the praying mantis, which should have already exploded and disappeared, shine a black light as if nothing had happened.
“Unbelievable…”
Hidetoshi stood in a daze, staring at the devastated man, unable to leave.
Huung-
The forelimbs of the giant mantis moved.
It was as if the god of hell descended to end Okinawa and wielded a huge scythe to tear the entire island in two.
Kwak Kwah Kwah-
Building debris and dust that existed in the trajectory scattered in all directions as if exploding.
It was impossible to prevent.
In the first place, it was not a speed that could be followed by the eyes.
Only the transcendental ones, Hidetoshi and Chihiro, could vaguely see the forelimbs of the creature cutting through the air, leaving afterimages.
“Aww!”
“Ouch!
It is not the screams of those who were attacked.
Their bodies split apart and they lost their lives in an instant.
It was the screams of those who were fortunate enough to be out of range of the attack, caught up in the aftermath that followed.
Dozens of awakened people, both on the Okinawa side and on the mainland, were trampled like insects.
And among the list of those who had just died, Hidetoshi, the leader of the mainland side, was also included.
All of this happened within a minute of him exiting the gate.
Okinawa is now over.
As long as he stays active, no one will survive.
The Awakeners on the mainland thought.
The fact that Okinawa, which would now be hell, and the mainland where her own family is staying are far away due to the sea.
That fact was the only consolation they could think of in their heads now that they faced him.
“Uh… Ugh… Run… Run away…”
“Such a monster… There’s no way a human can deal with it…”
“This guy is absolutely unreasonable even if the captain of the transcendental mobile unit steps forward.”
I lost my will to fight.
I need to get out of this place right now.
No one can deny that it is the only way to save life.
Most of the Awoken began to pour all their remaining energies into running away.
If he could just run away and get out of Okinawa, then he would be able to live.
I thought so.
No matter how big he is, he won’t be able to cross that vast sea.
The unfortunate thing for them is that, of course, this goddamn boss reacted to nothing else but a quick move.
Boo Woo-
It spread huge wings that stretched straight down the sides of its back.
Suddenly, a great gust of wind came, like a storm.
With a fierce noise that made the helicopter go away, the massive body of the monster mantis began to rise in the air.
His wings were literally wings.
It was not intended to increase the maximum jump distance through the assistance of wings based on excellent leg strength.
The guy is obviously flying right now.
People who did not run away but turned around and confirmed the boss’s movements were astonished.
Their complexions gradually turned pale.
It was because the monster that floated in the air was flying towards them.
Aaaaah-!
The giant mantis crossed the sky faster than a jet.
Then, using his long front legs, he took down the Awoken who were running away one by one.
But because his body is so huge as a whole, he didn’t become like a skewer with a flower on his skewer.
Most of them died instantly on the spot.
Some had their whole bodies split in half, while others had their bodies split up and down.
But these were good.
Because he died in an instant without pain.
“Aww… Help me… Give me…”
“Quaaaaa my leg!”
A few people who barely survived were moaning with parts of their bodies severed.
I could never say I was happy.
Among the Awoken still alive, there were dozens of healers, but I couldn’t afford to help them.
It was too much for them to even take care of their own bodies.
In the end, the bleeding will not stop and you will die.
Accepting the situation, they eventually took their own lives, unable to bear the pain and despair.
* * *
“Princess! Princess, you must leave this place! The agents are all scattered!”
Chihiro looked at the back of the monster flying in the sky without answering.
“You just saw… He doesn’t have a blind spot.”
“You’ll have to dodge, though. Running in all directions will make some unlucky victims fall for it, but it will buy you time for the rest.”
“It won’t change anything if I get out of here for a while.”
“But still…”
Chihiro turned her head and looked him in the eyes.
“Don’t mind me, run away.”
“Oh, the princess…”
“I’ll stay here.”
“Princess! That’s just dog death.”
Chihiro smiled and opened his mouth.
It was a calm, resolute voice.
“No. Rather than expecting someone to buy time for other people, I just decided to be that someone. You go and tell people who might be afraid at the shelter. Get out of Okinawa now.”
“But…”
“This is an order. Neither do you! Come on!”
Unlike the Awakeners on the mainland, the Awakeners in Okinawa were gathering around Chihiro rather than running away.
All eyes are on Chihiro.
He’s pretending to be fine, but his body is trembling slightly.
She is called a princess by everyone and holds the position of director of the Awakening General Bureau, but she is a tender person who has barely shed her youthful tact.
Everyone knows, but no one has spoken.
“I beg you. The world we dreamed of is no longer possible… But please, everyone, please live. Please save all the surviving inhabitants of Okinawa. I beg you. This is my last order for you all.”
“Yes. I will.”
“I will, Princess.”
“I will follow your orders.”
Everyone in her was already turning her body away from her.
And as she commanded, they gradually began to widen the distance.
They didn’t want to show a sad face to their one and only princess who decided to sacrifice herself.
Even if this was the end, no, rather, the probability was high that everyone wanted to protect her resolute will.
Chihiro’s trembling voice reached Yukari and Miyuna, who were the last to leave.
“If you can afford it, please tell that person. Hurry up and get out of Okinawa. That person only came to help us. I only received help and couldn’t reciprocate, but I want to keep the minimum courtesy.”
“…”
“Don’t worry. I’ll do that.”
The two women gave Chihiro a forced smile and left for the last time.
Now she is left alone.
“If everything goes well… There was something I wanted to say…”
Chihiro murmured to herself as she picked up a sword lying on the floor.
It is an abandoned mana-coated sword that someone must have left after being sacrificed by him.
She raised her magic and threw her sword in her hand with force.
The target is the wings of the giant mantis.
However, the sword flew fiercely and arrived at the target point, but it could not pierce anything and disappeared far away on the other side.
“Avoiding flying behind your back…”
But it didn’t matter.
The attack failed, but the intent worked.
Her bastard’s gaze was fixed only on her from the people fleeing in all directions of her.
And soon, the creature rushed at her, slicing through the air.
She moved quickly
The destination is Gate 12.
From the beginning, she intended to catch his attention and then run into this gate.
Whether her bastard chases her back into her gate or not.
In any case, the time will suffice.
If she doesn’t come after her, she’ll just have to go out and pull aggro again.
This should give your teammates plenty of time to escape.
However.
“Why at this timing…”
Her face turned pale.
Needless to say, monsters started pouring out again from the gate she was about to enter.
It was a slope.
The area around her suddenly darkened.
By the shadow of a giant monster mantis.
On one side, the dragon mantis protrudes endlessly.
Above the head is the boss of the giant dragon Mantis.
She felt that everything was over.
She just stared blankly at the forelegs of the giant monster mantis heading towards her.
“Hi…”
It was a final goodbye to everything.
“…!?”
Her eyes slowly opened wide.
“What the heck is this…”
It was amazing.
Not only the huge monster floating in the air, but all the monsters that had just passed through the gate stopped moving.
It was as if the whole world paused.
Except for her and someone else.
“Hello? Is that goodbye for me?”
A familiar voice whispered in her ears.
Kang Jeong-hyeok appeared in front of her.
