Chapter 1023 – [Abduction] How Master Chuck Cheok Lives (16)
***
Kristoff rubbed the bolt of his rifle.
It was a simple ritual with magical procedures. Putting mana into bullets makes them more powerful than most magic. For wizards in this modern society, it is common sense among common sense.
It has to be. It is a magic that uses sonic bullets that fire dozens of shots per second as a medium. At the level of a third-class wizard, this is much stronger than sticking to magic.
Christoph looked around the underground bunker like a hospital operating room, feeling the confidence of the rifle.
‘I’m familiar with infiltration missions, but this facility is anything but ordinary.’
He is now in a forest in England.
It was inside a magically hidden bunker in a secluded forest.
‘It is such a facility. In order not to be seen by the general public, high organizational skills and funds are indispensable.’
It takes capital to build these facilities, and in modern times, capital is a force that is directly connected to power.
There is no doubt about it. This bunker was a research facility built by a wizard with the money he earned from running a business.
‘Damn. I want to run away. I haven’t spent the money I received from the Count yet.’
He wanted to bite his tongue, but Christopher persevered.
Little bit more. It just takes a little more money.
Then, you can quit this high-risk, high-return job and become a full-time member of the Bavarian Magic Society. Isn’t a life guaranteed by safety and freedom what everyone wants?
‘I’ll just check what kind of facility it is and go back.’
There is no reason to delay when the answer comes out. Considering the time to run away, he conducted a skillful infiltration operation and searched the inside of the bunker, just like when he broke through the warning magic and infiltrated.
What you see are mostly illegal products regardless of field.
‘Alchemy chimera in drugs. Doll… No It’s a civilian with a modified brain.’
Kristoff frowned and hurried to his feet.
The target they were looking for was quickly found.
“The Chinese branch said they missed the Midgardians.”
It was English with an archaic pronunciation. Kristoff leaned back against the corner of the large laboratory.
─Heh heh heh. Are you talking about the silver class adventurers? That’s pathetic.
“Not really. I didn’t kill anyone and took out three drug-soaked adults. It’s an amazing ability.”
It was a man sitting in a chair and talking on a tablet.
A young Westerner in a brown suit put a cigar in his mouth.
“The gate to Midgard I found is also gone. Losing investment is a common occurrence, but not knowing the cause of failure is still unpleasant.”
-You’re still smiling.
“The one who appeared and disappeared like a ghost in the Chinese branch, the one who moved the transfer gate. If you assume that these two are the same person, it’s worth laughing at, right?”
─If you capture it, you will be able to acquire the skill of manipulating dimensions.
When the old Asian man, like a doctor in the hospital, laughed, the chairman also smiled along with the cigar smoke.
“Technical hijacking and market expansion are the virtues of entrepreneurs. How vast is the market of Midgard? How about taking the vacant seat in the Chinese branch?”
─I want to focus on my work in Korea. You can’t have a hobby if you’re busy.
“Francesca Eitrinen, it was.”
Christopher wanted to praise himself for not making a sound. The chairman dusted off the cigarette ash in the ashtray.
“A Dwarf from Midgard. Is it your taste?”
─That’s right, but it’ll be helpful for the president as well.
“Where? Thanks to those adventurers, I read the latest situation in Midgard. Could she be a woman who knows valuable information or magic enough to be used in future invasions?”
─Francesca has a lot of people. They are obviously Midgardians, and they seem to be enjoying the culture of this country as if they were on a trip.
“… Like.”
The chairman extinguished the remaining cigar.
“Nice. She’s such a nice woman with a mindset. She only has one life, so she should enjoy it to the fullest without regrets.”
──Is that even for the president who has lived for nearly a thousand years?
“It is good that there is no time to be bored, Director. That was very exciting news.”
Holding the tablet, he reached for the cage.
“Usually, when you fall into this world, the Midgardians are at a loss for what to do. However, not just one or two people, but many people enjoy their leisure time without even trying to find a way back…”
A nasty chimera crawled out of the cage and adored his hand, but he dumped the loathsome chimera into his mouth as if it were something to eat.
“You are so bold. Whoever sees it, doesn’t it seem like they have a way to return at any time?”
─Heh heh heh. Believing that you are safe, you are caught off guard and lack of attention.
Christopher, who had been listening, gritted his teeth.
‘… I don’t know how you came to know about it, but are you aiming for the Count’s group?’
Judging from the story they shared, their ultimate goal was one.
It is intended that they alone will secretly spread their demonic powers to Midgard–【Middle Branch】.
Whether it was aggression or secret tactics, it would not have been good intentions.
‘It is clear at a glance just by looking at the products I saw on the way home.’
At least, the products the authors were circulating and smuggling would not enrich Christophe’s hometown.
Aren’t they two completely different worlds in terms of civilization and technology?
If the [Middle branch] Human beings were seized from the shadows before they could figure out the identity of the enemy, there was a high possibility that they would be irreversible when they realized the crisis.
“Bring Miss Francesca. Since she was pregnant, if the baby in her belly was a waste, she wouldn’t be able to resist fiercely.”
The president shook his hands and took off his outer garment. The brain-remodeled women loosened his tie like a maid.
“Find her memories and find out who the party with dimensional magic is. Can you do it?”
—… You have to kill them to extract their memories, right?
“Technology advances come at a cost. I need to catch some mice too, so make a plan before midnight.”
─Yes. Happy sports, President Alan.
I couldn’t hear anything more. Kristoff threw himself off the wall.
Bang-!!!! The wall he was leaning on exploded like a bomb exploded.
“Like. You’re quick.”
A man with wall dust and smoke rising from his hands.
The chairman, who took off his coat, noticed Christoph and attacked him.
“Fuck!!”
Have no choice but to fight Kristoff rolled on the floor and fired his gun as soon as the enemy figure came into view.
─Two da da da da da da da da da da da da da!!!
The full-auto automatic rifle fired dozens of bullets into the president and Alan’s body.
“Damn it! If you watch spy movies, you only see this in the last mission!”
Fight against each other—!! Christopher emptied one of his magazines without stopping.
A baptism of violence born from the entanglement of two civilizations.
No tablet, no cigar case, no ashtray.
No fancy tables, no refined drugs.
Unfortunately and regrettably, even the dolls whose brains were harvested and the chimeras modified through genetic engineering were exposed to the mana-infused bullets and were destroyed horribly.
That’s bound to be the case too.
The only thing that could escape destruction in front of this merciless shower of bullets was only a handful of transcendents who could not be trampled on by the power of civilization.
“What a waste of money. You and me too.”
Alan, who was at the scene of the destruction, brushed his shoulders.
Muscles twitched through the torn suit. There was not even that common bruise on the exposed skin. Kristoff, realizing that he didn’t work at all, laughed dejectedly.
“… Ha, damn it. I will go crazy.”
“Well, take care of your mental health. You have to get your hands on what’s important and protect it.”
Jjiik-! Alan tore his shirt in rags.
“A discerning eye for value. The ability to protect what is valuable. Only those who cultivate it can enjoy life without waste. For example… It’s something like this.”
-Boom!
A rhinoceros-thick foot stepped on the floor of the lab.
The one-meter-thick alloy floor gave way, and Kristoff, trying to retrieve his new magazine, lost his balance.
“Rather than wasting my time on killing you, it would be safer and more efficient to destroy this facility a little.”
─Right!
Fists wrapped in red muscles hit Kristoff, who had lost his footing.
A fist swollen like an experimental cell in a test tube! It was like a balloon, or like the muscle fibers of a skinned carnivore.
And Christopher did not have the ability to recover from such a sudden death.
However, he had the ability to follow the words of his hometown that had instantly penetrated his ears.
“Aaaaa!!”
─Shuwoong!!!!
The refreshing sound of an arrow lightly brushed the back of Kristoff’s head as he lowered his head screaming.
An iron arrow that has not been applied with any advanced science! It was an outdated weapon that was outdated to reappear in a place where the selfishness of civilization called the automatic rifle had gone through.
“This. The arrow that flew in the face is from the Crusades.”
However, Alan did not receive it with his body as before, and skillfully snatched the arrow.
Compared to the fact that he didn’t budge even in a barrage of bullets, it’s a simple trick that’s not too great.
Unless the arrow had been shot by the Goddess of the Hunt.
─Puuong!! The arrow, which did not lose its inertia even after holding it, exploded the bunker with only the aftermath of its force.
As if a grenade had been thrown into a cardboard house, the bunker’s walls were in disarray, but Alan brushed his slightly tanned hair with his hand and smiled softly.
Satis lightly fired at Loki, who was making a fuss—90% sincere.
Two rounds of her arrows, which were unnecessary for a fool, were already attached to the string without being vigilant.
Alan’s eyes twinkled.
“Nice to meet you. Alan Horner. Please call me Alan with all her friendliness. You seem far from the god who ruled our world, but why did you visit all my business?”
They didn’t answer But Allen clapped his hands as if he noticed something.
“I see. It was you guys! The one who rescued the adventurers of Midgard! I didn’t know that not taking their lives would return to such a wonderful encounter. I think this will require reflection.”
“You are wise. But a man whose character does not follow his wisdom is just infinitely ugly.”
“I’m just paying for my age, Goddess Satis. It looks exactly like the goddess statue Janus remembered.”
Satis, who had borrowed Loki’s powers, scorned in a tone befitting her goddess, then she fell silent at Alan’s reply.
Janus.
A handful of gods worshiped in Romania besides the 7 Great Gods.
The identity of such a ‘religion with only faith’ is mostly traces of ancient people who were candidates for artificial gods like the Seven Gods.
Satis, who has been keeping an eye on the ground from Magmel, also knows that a faith centered on a man named Janus briefly arose on the land where the gods left.
Those who, for some reason, did not leave that power as an artificial throne, or did not.
A master class from a human who was a great man who will go down in history, but whose name has been erased by the descendants of the stars.
They are false gods that have developed into a religion with only the foundation of faith remaining, and have developed divine magic similar to their authority, and have been served until modern times.
‘… The power of Janus is to open and connect doors.’
Could it be that Janus in his lifetime went to Earth with his own power? At one point, she had even guessed.
What if Janus really came to Earth, but after that he never returned?
It’s reasonable to assume that someone killed him.
It was obvious who it was. Satis clicked his tongue.
‘… Is it natural that there is A human in a master class.’
The enemy is a transcendental person who has reached the realm of a god in this world.
The child hidden behind his back is weak, and it is unknown how active Loki will be as a avant-garde. Better to retreat now.
“Go. I don’t want to use violence against Lady.”
As soon as Satis thought so, Alan shook his hand.
“I regret not being able to enjoy the delicious food, but I have to go to tea time from now on. So, if you want to run away now, I might gladly close your eyes—”
“Thanks! I’m not the kind of person who’s going to jump on the floor just because I’m being sarcastic!”
Not listening to the end, Loki took his companion and leaped through space.
─Break!!
Then, right before leaving, he launched an attack that cut through space. It was Yu Hee-sin’s authority reproduced with runes.
“This is amazing. It’s like a science fiction story.”
─Aww!!!
Alan destroyed space with a blow of his fist. With his power, it was not difficult.
“I can’t wait for the day I can acquire that technology.”
Shaking off his hands that had destroyed space, he sighed.
What they missed was force majeure.
Alan does not have the ability to manipulate space. If he keeps running away in the warp, he won’t catch up.
Since he couldn’t tell the truth straight away, he watched their escape with nonsense he couldn’t believe.
“However, for a rat, he had a knack for hiding. If I had realized sooner, I would have kept my mouth shut.”
Because it was too late for me to realize Kristoff, even the things I shouldn’t have been told spilled out.
It was good that he noticed him in the middle and tried to exclude him, but the intervention of the goddesses was a mistake for him as well.
‘Clearly, those goddesses and Francesca Eitrinen must have a lot of points of contact.’
Looking at the time when they appeared and the technology that is similar to each other, it is more strange that they do not exist.
Even if it is irrelevant, there is a high probability that they will try to borrow strength to fight Alan.
“Director, it doesn’t matter if you are a little clumsy. Prepare an actionable plan right away.”
Holding the tablet, Alan left a voice message for his men.
“It’s been almost 400 years since I’ve eaten a god. My heart is very full, too.”
The monster, who had lived in the darkness of power for over a thousand years, moved diligently.
Genetic engineering, mutation magic, alchemy, martial arts, women, money, power and violence.
Because all the things that enrich his life are precious assets that make him feel the pulse of life.
