Chapter 231 – Naked Dungeon Life Side Story (39)
“As you said, it looks like you entered the gate. Suddenly, the signal was confirmed!”
Ahn Ji-hyun’s expression, which had been frowning all along, opened wide in an instant.
“Quickly send an emergency signal!”
“I’ve been sending it non-stop since the beginning. The confirmation signal is coming soon… Ah! It’s coming in now. Transcendent Kang Jeong-hyeok confirmed the emergency signal!”
“Can I speak to you right now?”
“That’s difficult. Watch-type satellite receivers are built with durability as the top priority, so they don’t have such detailed features. Unless the Transcendent One moves to a nearby base station and contacts you directly with your smartphone…”
He will now be in the middle of the desert.
The location of the satellite receiver is also in the middle of the Gobi Desert.
Even China wouldn’t have installed a base station in the middle of a desert where no one lives, so all you can do now is just pray and wait for a call to come as soon as possible.
In addition, considering China’s suspicious movements this time, there must be surveillance made up of Awakened people.
Even if Kang Jeong-hyuk, who confirmed the emergency signal, requests cooperation, there is a high probability that it will be ignored.
No, if they were, they would definitely be actively interfering.
“Please contact all the agents close to the Gobi Desert dispatched to Inner Mongolia that you contacted earlier. Steal a car or steal a helicopter, whatever means is fine, so secure Mr. Kang and put him on a plane to Korea! It’s a top priority! “
“Already in touch!”
“Tell them to be as careful as possible, as the Awakened Chinese may use any nasty means to get in the way!”
“Yes!”
Hong Eun-young, who had been trying to contact her by phone, opened her mouth.
“I haven’t received it yet. A desert seems to be a desert.”
“I guess we have no choice but to wait for him to contact us first.”
Ahn Ji-hyun started looking at the clock nervously again.
Please, he begged in his heart that nothing would happen until he came.
However, the wind did not last long and the mountains collapsed.
“Great… Mr. President… Something big… It seems.”
“Don’t set the mood, just say it.”
“Pa, the northern front line of Jinseo-myeon, Paju has been breached by a swarm of monsters from the north! The Awakeners of small and medium-sized support companies, including the Zenas Guild in charge of the area, suffered near-total damage…”
“The scale.”
“I just said it was close to annihilation…”
“It’s not the size of the damage, it’s the size of the enemy!!”
“Ah, sorry. Rather than that, it seems that the damage caused by the unusual boss monster that suddenly appeared and surpassed the A rank was enormous. …”
The atmosphere in the bunker immediately subsided at the sudden sad news.
“Is there any additional troop support?”
“Fortunately, there seems to be no more casualties because there is a mobile transcendentalist nearby.
“Is the evacuation of Paju residents over?”
“Yes. I don’t think you need to worry about that.”
“After passing Paju, we are straight to Seoul. Even though there are no Transcendentalists belonging to the Zenas Guild, isn’t it one of the best guilds in Korea? I heard it’s paper!?”
“That’s it… It seems that the Joint Chiefs of Staff is also thinking about it, but the domestic Transcendentalists have already been put into the front line. However, if the other frontlines collapse after manipulating the arrangement of the Transcendentalists in this situation… At that time, the problem will not come to the surface. Because it grows uncontrollably…”
President Ahn Ji-hyun said with a cynicism.
“You said that all domestic transcendentalists were committed to the frontlines?”
“Yes, that’s right. Excluding Kang Jeong-hyeok and Park Yu-ri, who are dispatched to Okinawa, and two more transcendentalists from Awake Lady…”
“No. You’re wrong.”
“Yes?”
She took off her coat, threw it on her chair, and headed for the exit of her bunker.
“I am also a transcendentalist.”
“Wait, Mr. President!”
“Oh, stop! No way. How could the president of this country be in such a dangerous place…”
She dissuaded everyone.
“In a situation like this, if the president… No, the transcendentalist doesn’t step up, who will?”
“That’s…”
“I won’t listen to any more opinions. Get the helicopter ready right away. Come on!”
She walked over and opened the door that was blocking her entrance, getting wet.
“Oh, and… If you get a call from that man, Kang Jeong-hyeok, please tell me. If I die today, it’s all your fault. So, come quickly before I die.”
President Ahn Ji-hyun left the command and control room with the last words.
And not long after, Kang Jung-hyeok contacted me.
* * *
Ta-ta-tata!
“It’s good! They haven’t left downtown Paju yet!”
Ahn Ji-hyun shouted through the noise of the helicopter’s loud propeller.
“Please review it again, Mr. President! No matter how you think about it, it’s too dangerous! Especially that movement of the boss… Isn’t it a tremendous athletic ability that is incomparable to even A-class dungeon bosses!”
“Stop! You said you wouldn’t listen to that story anymore!”
Above the dark city of Paju after the evacuation of residents.
A large number of monsters and a huge being raging down there caught my eye.
“A monster, holding two swords, am I pretending to be an assassin?”
Ahn Ji-hyun smiled lightly as if she had no fear and stood up at the same time.
“This is enough. Oh, and if you plan to follow me, please fold it. Unless you’re a transcendental person, you’ll just get in the way!”
“But please consider our position as well! We have to protect His Excellency…”
She stopped her bodyguards who stood up after her.
They are also outstanding awakeners who are said to be the best in Korea, but they have no meaning in front of the transcendent.
There wasn’t even a formation that had been matched in advance.
“I’ll leave it to you to take care of the aftermath. I’ll lure that monster into the clearing as much as possible and deal with it, so you guys join the reserve unit and take care of the rest. Then.”
Wheeeee-
Without hesitation, she jumped from a helicopter dozens of meters high into the middle of the dark city.
Thud!
And the moment you land on the ground.
The cold air that had condensed into her right hand exploded out in front of her.
Frost Cannon.
The ice grains, which sucked in the moisture around them at a furious speed and grew in size, suddenly became a giant ice block and attacked the unusual boss monster hundreds of meters away from behind.
Pagakak! Kugoong!
“What?! To no avail?”
The block of ice was cut in two cleanly, as if it had been cut by machine.
The guy took no damage.
Ahn Ji-hyun, who confirmed this, hurriedly moved from place to place while biting her lip.
It didn’t have any effect, but it was enough to get his attention.
Hurry up and get him away from the other monsters so the reserve units can join you.
‘Fortunately, it seems that only the boss is following. However…’
That’s really great speed.
The guy who looks more than 10 meters tall is fast and uses weapons.
Even if she recalled the worst bosses she had ever faced, few were as menacing as that.
‘I don’t know if I should really prepare for death.’
“Quaac!”
With her scream-like cry, her bastard, who had followed her right in front of her nose, brandished the long sword in her right hand.
Bang!
She lightly spurred her ground and bounced into the air, avoiding the bastard’s attack.
However, the gust of wind created by the sword shattered the surrounding buildings as if they had been bombed.
“Kaggeuk!”
Without a moment to rest, he swung her long sword in her hand against her, and swung her sword again at her floating in the air.
“How dare you!”
As if she knew this, Ahn Ji-hyun stretched out both of her hands and released a huge amount of magical power.
Kagaga River!
The thick ice created in an instant barely bounced off the swinging sword.
A chunk of ice that is hundreds of times stronger in density and strength compared to the Frost Cannon used earlier.
It’s not over yet.
The ice instantly grew in size and grew to be as huge as the boss, leaving her hand and slamming it downward.
It was right above the boss’s head.
Cooong!
“Kuh ha ha!”
The one who had already swung both of his swords and failed to respond in time could not defend against the huge block of ice.
He was crushed and pinned to the ground head to head.
“Not there yet!”
As the amount of magic power extended from her hand increased, the ice expanded its size even more.
The monster’s head was crushed by a huge block of ice, splitting the asphalt and digging deeper and deeper into the ground.
‘I have to finish it now.’
If he was a guy who would take down this much, he wouldn’t even worry about it from the beginning.
She knew better than anyone else that this was nothing more than a temporary blockade of his movements while he was careless.
“Haha!”
He squeezed out all the magic in his body.
It’s never her style to overdo things like this from the start.
Even when he belonged to the guild in the past, but now that he is in this heavy president position, it may be something he should never do.
But hesitation ruled it out from the moment I decided to come here in the first place.
Wheeeee-
The wind, which gradually began to grow stronger, began to whirl sharply and quickly became a storm.
The otherwise dark sky was covered with pitch-black darkness before I knew it.
Layer upon layer of black cumulonimbus clouds weighed heavily on the city of Paju, which had lost its light.
Transcendent Ahn Ji-hyun’s unique skill, Blizzard Storm.
Now I know that Kang Jeong-hyeok borrowed his ability and used it, but this is definitely an original skill that only she possesses in the world.
Since she became a Transcendentalist, this pride has never disappeared.
“Frozen to the bone, you damn monster!”
It’s been a long time since I’ve been in real combat, but my senses haven’t died at all.
Late summer, when the heat hasn’t gone away yet.
White snow began to fall in downtown Paju.
It was a powerful snowstorm that seemed to freeze everything in the world, where even the slightest hint of romance could not be found.
