Chapter 233 – Naked Dungeon Life Side Story (41)
“What the hell is that…”
“It must be a monster. Judging by its size, it must be a boss… Its shape reminds me of a crocodile…”
Photos taken from surveillance satellites are being played back on a huge monitor in the cabin.
“I think that’s the guy Your Excellency was talking about.”
“Does the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff know what that is?”
A huge monster appeared on the other side of the screen.
Its size was so huge that even though it was only enlarged satellite photos, its appearance could be clearly discerned.
It was as if a huge mountain was moving.
“Gigant… Is that object an alligator?”
“Alligators are well-known monsters… But what about Gigantra…?”
“It’s so huge, that’s why it got that modifier.”
The reason why the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was able to identify the Gigant Alligator just by looking at it on the screen was because there was a story he had heard directly from President Ahn Ji-hyun in advance.
And the source of that information is none other than Kang Jeong-hyeok.
This is part of the North Korea-related information he obtained after torturing Tatsuya and his friends in Okinawa.
“For that giant to come out through that narrow gate… What nonsense…”
“This makes it clear that Japan was deeply involved in this surprise attack.”
“Are you saying Japan is attacking Okinawa right now?”
“Yes. Their attack on the Ryukyu right now must have all been planned in consultation with North Korea in advance. To prevent us from intervening. It was a secret until now, so I’m revealing it now, but your Excellency said that a while ago. They secretly used submersibles or disguised themselves as fishing boats to frequently visit North Korea.”
The sudden remarks of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff caused chaos inside the headquarters.
In the midst of all the military officers, including the chiefs of staff of each army, navy, and air force, a secret that even they had never heard of was just revealed.
“It’s a secret that we don’t even know about…”
“Why on earth are you teaching such important information now! How did you tell us to come up with countermeasures if we don’t know in the first place!”
“I agree.”
A few people expressed their discomfort.
“Is it time to discuss that? In the yard that monsters like that have already appeared?”
“Eh! More than that, how is that monster related to Japan? A monster that chews up missiles with its mouth and swallows them! Did the North Koreans even raise something like that?”
“I raised him… Maybe that’s not entirely wrong. I don’t know the details either.”
Again, the space began to stir.
“Ah brother! Don’t hesitate and tell me in detail!”
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff sighed heavily.
“I really don’t know the details. Except that Japan has a transcendental ability that can make monsters huge, and that monsters made like that are called Gigant. Why did they go to North Korea and not Japan and do that? It was to the extent that I doubted the ability to make monsters gigantic until I saw it.”
After the gate appeared in the world, the magic and magic that suddenly revealed their existence were also difficult to understand with modern people’s thinking.
However, many years have passed, and now it has become so familiar and natural.
So even if a creature whose volume has already been determined becomes gigantic, it has no choice but to accept it meekly.
Because of the size of a single cell, the number of cells that make it up, or the total amount of energy a single individual possesses, it’s normal to not be able to walk even after becoming gigantic, so blah blah.
It only hurts to look at these extremely common sense scientific refutations.
Isn’t the result of being gigantic in the first place openly existing on the screen like that?
To put it bluntly, it makes no sense to deal with fire, ice, and even thunderbolts with human power, or to split a rocket in two with just one sword.
In particular, from the point of view of non-awakened people, everything that is beyond common sense is the same thing.
“The ability to make monsters huge… If that’s possible, it’s really the worst thing from the point of view of the victim…”
“There’s nothing to worry about. It’s a skill outside common sense, so it doesn’t seem like it can be overused.”
“Ah, is that so? Then, how do we defeat that one guy who appeared once…”
He continued to say that he was fortunate, and then suddenly shut his mouth.
As he said, it was just a matter of defeating that one guy, but there are no transcendentalists left in Korea to deal with that monster.
“What’s his next move?”
“It continues to move south. It appears to be near Panmunjom soon.”
“Who is waiting there right now?”
“Isol Kim Transcendence and Hwayeon Baek Transcendence. Both of them belong to Awake Lady.”
“It’s fortunate. That Gigant monster is heading in the direction where there are at least two Transcendentalists.”
But they didn’t know.
The fact that those two are now in the middle of dealing with the largest number of boss monsters, and because of that, the magical power they possess is starting to show the bottom.
* * *
“Damage eh!”
Ahn Ji-hyun’s scream-like cry.
The Kaga Gaga River!
The unusual boss monster ‘Ido’s Karingkal’, which shattered the ice surrounding the whole body in an instant, swung a long sword at President Cha Tae-ho, who was slashing his sword at the back of his head.
Kwakwang!
“Ouch!”
It was the vice-chief who defended the attack with the sword he was holding, but his body was not cut.
In the aftermath of the attack, it bounced off at great speed and pierced the outer wall of a huge building and was driven deep.
He was also an A-class veteran Awakener who made a name for himself.
However, there is no way to determine whether he is alive or dead now.
It only blocked a single blow.
“Unbelievable…”
Ahn Ji-hyun sat down in the middle of the snow-covered asphalt.
He just stares blankly at the front.
“Monster…”
Now, even if you try to squeeze it, there is no mana left.
As such, Blizzard Storm was a special move that he poured all his strength into.
How could he stand up so confidently even after being swept away by that cold windstorm?
That’s true even if he’s a unique boss monster.
Of course, his gray body was covered in purple blood from his wounds.
My whole body was ragged as frozen blood vessels tore through my skin from the inside.
However, there was only a cold glow flowing from the two eyes of the standing guy, as if there was no damage.
“Mo, everyone…”
My mouth won’t come off
But I can’t just stay still like this.
She let out a voice as if crying.
“Everyone run away!”
About a dozen members of the security team who acted together with the deputy chief security officer Cha.
Instead of a monster, they stood motionless as if their bodies were frozen, and they woke up at the president’s cry.
“Hurry up in protective formation! Hey, Kim Won-seok! You won’t come to your senses! Lee Min-yeol! Don’t move quickly? Seok-ho Choi! What are you doing!”
The bodyguards, who barely came to their senses, quickly surrounded the president.
“What are you doing! Leave me alone and get out of here!”
“It can’t be. We’re here to protect you.”
Ahn Ji-hyun bit her lip.
He had nothing to refute.
They are not the ones who listen to orders.
It was a fact I knew from the beginning.
But he couldn’t help but cry.
“It’s an order! Leave me alone and everyone run away!”
Because he didn’t want to see them die one by one in front of his eyes.
Krrrr
Karing Kal very slowly drew the snow-covered asphalt with the long sword in his hand.
It is natural that the marks were clearly left on the snow, and even the frozen asphalt beneath it was broken and fragments were scattered in all directions.
Ahn Ji-hyun, who watched this, as well as everyone felt fear.
And this, obviously, was a deliberate act taken by him to instill fear.
Chuck!
The black lips of the guy who raised his long sword and pointed in this direction drew an arc.
There was no way to know the monster’s feelings, but it seemed as if he was laughing at the weak human being.
And.
Quaang!
The guy drew his sword in the air.
With just that simple movement, a tremendous shockwave was generated.
Snow piled on the floor was scattered in all directions.
“Aww!”
“Ouch!”
“Keugh…”
A huge aftershock covered everyone’s bodies.
In particular, the security guards standing at the front collapsed to the floor unable to withstand the shock wave.
I also vomited a bagful of blood.
It wasn’t a cut.
Bones all over the body were broken in places.
It felt as if I had been hit with a giant fist made of air.
“Is everyone okay?”
“We… It’s okay. Rather… Run away…”
In front of the fallen members, relatively intact members jump out and block them.
No sign of anyone trying to run away.
Ahn Ji-hyun couldn’t help but cry with a despairing expression on her face.
‘Me and everyone… Here… Will die.’
I heard the story of Kang Jeong-hyeok contacting him.
However, it would take more than an hour to get from Inner Mongolia to Seoul, no matter how fast the plane was stolen from the airport.
It is not even known what kind of sabotage the Chinese side will do.
It was unreasonable from the beginning to hold on until he arrived here.
‘If I knew it would be like this, I would oppose the establishment of Awake Lady’s Okinawa branch…’
If Yu-ri Park had been here, the situation would have been slightly different.
Regrets creep in
It was none other than himself who first dispatched Kang Jeong-hyeok to Okinawa.
I never thought that it would roll a snow ball like this and hit me.
Resignation.
Ahn Ji-hyun gave up hope that he would be able to survive the monster in front of him.
He opened his mouth slowly.
“I’ll buy you some time. So, everyone run away. This is your chance as he’s wasting time like this.”
“That would never happen!”
“I can’t!”
“No. You have to do what I tell you to do. You’re not good enough to deal with him. Everyone here, in the name of the President, I’m going to fire you right now. Now, everyone, run away!”
But no one even flinched.
“Go! Do you know who wants to die? There’s no other way! Or are you all going to die right here with me?”
No one answered
No one even turned around, let alone run away.
No one turned their head to look at Ahn Ji-hyun’s face.
Everyone just stood there silently and glared at the monster standing in front of their eyes.
And the mindless monster was slowly approaching all of these, step by step.
The tears welling up in Ahn Ji-hyun’s eyes flowed down.
‘Please someone… Help me…’
My whole body trembled.
She didn’t want to die in a place like this either.
Please, I desperately hoped that someone would lend a helping hand.
Beep-
It was then.
An eardrum-shattering noise cut through the middle of downtown Paju.
“What, what? A bird?”
It was dark, but something huge crossed the sky.
Most of them were sure it was a bird from the sound they had just heard.
“What the size of a bastard’s bird… Damn it! I can’t even deal with one of them, but the number has increased again.”
Something huge suddenly appeared and caught everyone’s attention.
Even the unusual boss looked up at the sky.
Enormous size.
It must be a boss monster.
It was hopeless.
It doesn’t end with Ahn Ji-hyun’s death.
In the end, the next destination for those monsters will be Seoul.
She sobbed, holding her own body in her arms.
“It’s all… It’s over…”
“What do you mean it’s over?”
“…!?”
“A nobleman called the president of a country is crying ugly. You should be ashamed of that in front of the bodyguards.”
“Uh, how…”
“Hmm? Ah! How did I come?”
Ahn Ji-hyun, who was squeezing out her runny nose from her tears, only nodded her head with her dumbfounded expression.
“How did you come? You flew.”
Kang Jung-hyeok was standing in front of her.
