Chapter 876 – Great Counterattack
“How dare you kill a manager and expect him not to know who you are?”
Despite hiding their identity thoroughly, the Transcendental Church seems to have grasped some information about the Holy Day in the blink of an eye, perhaps because they are a race with a transcendentally advanced civilization. After seeing the manager’s reaction, Seong-il feels that he needs to be more careful in his future activities.
‘It’s a good thing they dropped most of the main force. If I had stuck around for no reason, I might have gotten into trouble.’
The good news is that the manager in front of me only looks angry at the mass deaths of his ‘colleagues’, which makes me wonder inside.
‘These guys… Don’t they really know that people are disappearing on the Korean Peninsula on a large scale? Really?’
“I will tear you to death for the souls of the martyrs!!”
Seong-il listens to the guy’s conversation again and realizes that the Transcendental Church has not yet figured out the large-scale disappearance of citizens on the Korean Peninsula.
‘I see… I guess they are in a state of hibernation with only the minimum number of people left as ‘administrative staff’ to avoid AI tracking… They have thoroughly tasked their minions with administrative work. In that situation, I assassinated the minions on a large scale this time…’
Seong-il hated the members of the Hunter Association and high-ranking politicians who were acting as stooges for the aliens, so he killed them in droves during the fierce battle that took place in Seoul. Perhaps that’s why it appears that the Transcendental Church has not yet grasped the important core of the ‘real’ incident.
‘Practically, the amount of time I go on a rampage in real life is only about two or three hours. It’s totally worth it.’
Of course, this is a fact that will become clear as time passes, so Seong-il decides not to waste this golden opportunity and to use it wisely.
‘Did it come together slowly?’
Seong-il feels that as many as ten administrators and forty S-class hunters are surrounding him some time after he declared war. Sensing that the audience has arrived, Seong-il smiles bitterly and releases the power packed into his body like a bomb in all directions.
“Suppressed… Ugh!!”
As if the siege network was sufficiently established, the manager ordered his companions and hunting dogs to attack Seong-il. However, as if Seong-il was taking advantage of that opportunity, he began to release the energy that had been previously condensed in his body, spewing it out in all directions. Then, the Creator’s doll alter ego appeared next to him like a ghost.
‘Originally, I would have been troubled by the number of people, but I have an alter ego.’
While the Creator’s doll spreads a powerful territorial shield to protect Seong-il. Using his alter ego as a shield, Seong-il converts a huge amount of psionic energy into the Pure Yang River and begins pouring out a powerful firestorm around him.
“Crazy…!!”
The manager frowns at the terrifying attack reminiscent of the sun, then activates the power of transcendence and quickly defends against the powerful bombardment by using artifacts. However, unlike the administrator who managed to block Seongil’s wide-area bombardment with a relic, the S-class hunters who followed them were unable to block the terrible baptism of flames and suffered damage or, in extreme cases, their entire bodies were covered in flames, and they appeared in pain. .
“Catch it.”
Seongil did not miss the opportunity and said a short word. Then, like ghosts, numerous clones wearing the same clothes as Seong-il appear around the area and begin to beat up the faltering S-class hunters.
“Hey! Come here~”
Seongil’s regular alter ego was slightly less skilled than an S-class hunter, but he outnumbered them and had many unique skills that they could not use. Therefore, even in normal condition, it is difficult to easily subdue the clone, but the hunters were injured by the sudden fire bombardment. Thanks to this, they began to be subdued by their clones one by one so easily that they did not live up to their name as the world’s strongest hunter group.
“These scum…!!”
The managers who saw this cursed with a look of bewilderment as the hunting dogs were in vain retired in one surprise attack by Seongil.
“You fanatics who believe in a false god. Where are you looking?”
Seong-il arrogantly throws a terrible psionic spear made by mixing telekinesis, sensitivity, and the power of space at a manager who is looking at him right in front of him.
Then, surprisingly, the spear tore through space and time and appeared in front of the manager, about 1 km away, and succeeded in piercing the man’s shoulder.
“… This power!!”
When the monster in front of him uses the powerful power of transcendence that only bishops can use, the manager whose shoulder was pierced looks terrified.
“Why? Is it because it hurts? Strap your neck. I’ll kill you without pain.”
“Damn you…!! Where do you belong? Are you one of those disbelievers?”
Another manager, who quickly rushed the injured colleague to the rear, cursed and threw a bizarre force overflowing with dark red ominous power at Seong-il so that he could not attack the injured man further. And as if following in his footsteps, other managers also begin to pour out their ruthless power of transcendence towards Seong-il.
『Although you are receiving help from your alter ego, you are still proudly standing up to 10 administrators. This is truly remarkable growth. Master.』
As Seong-il and his doll clone easily block the threatening attacks from managers coming from all directions, Dana praises the owner for his growth.
“Of course. Who am I? All I can do is hold on.”
『I will also help you become a being worthy of my great master.』
Dana leisurely responds to Seongil’s words and begins writing a strange text at the end of Seongil’s area. And the powerful barrier power radiates from there.
‘Ho… Is this a talisman?’
『That’s right. With the power of this barrier, the master’s alter ego will protect the master without any significant damage while collecting the hunting dogs.』
‘Is it good?’
Meanwhile, one of the managers appears to mistake Dana’s talisman for a supernatural power that comes from an unknown ancient artifact. Let’s easily block the attack of the ‘priest’ group using the monster’s artifact. He mistakenly believes that Seong-il is really one of the apostates who are called the guardians of reason.
“Nauru?! Or Ta-Navan? Or Illax?”
‘Oh… Are you mistaken in thinking that I am the guardian of reason?’
『I think so? They are stupid people.』
When Seong-il hears a familiar name from the manager’s mouth, he realizes that he has made a ridiculous misunderstanding.
“You bastards are late! The great plan will soon be fulfilled! Why do you think that, except for a few martyrs, the entire clan has fallen into hibernation? You have been defeated! On the day we ascend to heaven, you will destroy us all. I will die by your hands!”
‘… The Great Precepts are coming true?’
『Could it is that the body exchange project has been completed?』
Seong-il, who was leisurely deliberately beating down their attacks and helping the clones place the incapacitated S-class hunter into the ethereal stone in space, frowns when a shocking statement comes out of the guys’ mouths.
“Haha! I guess you’ve finally realized it! That’s right! You guys don’t have much life left!!”
A manager who pours transcendental power on Seong-il smiles darkly when Seong-il shows signs of agitation and begins to mock him repeatedly.
“Why don’t you care about your life first?”
The gloomy voice heard in the ears of the manager who was desperately mocking or attacking Seong-il and waiting for support. When the surprised manager turned his head, there was a being there who looked exactly like the monster, holding an eerie greatsword and whispering to him in the dark.
“How… Wow!!”
The essence alter ego, ignoring the embarrassed manager, swings the Arunlabe borrowed from Seong-il and pierces the man’s chest. The Creator’s doll, which fatally wounded the bastard, looks at Seongil and tells him that all preparations have been completed.
“I’ve collected all the hunting dogs. Should I kill them?”
“Yes. Sweep it out.”
They must have collected all the S-class hunters in LA. Seong-il sees no point in wasting time, so he orders all his clones to attack the aliens at once. The current manager managed to stay in the same position despite beating Seongil with multiple forces.
Therefore, even though they are clearly in a situation where they are at a disadvantage due to Seong-il’s self-immolation, they surprisingly do not panic and calmly gather in a compact form and try desperately to withstand the attack.
“What is it?”
『It seems like I’m waiting for support.』
“I see. Were you wasting time? You bastards.”
Seong-il asks why the manager allowed him to self-immolate. He also laughs at them when he realizes why he was trying to buy time by spewing lame provocations at them. The reason he was so lazy was to buy time.
Rumbling…!!
However, as if trying to destroy Seongil’s expectations, an ominous energy begins to radiate along with a roar from the sky. A situation where destructive energy even tears the sky above LA, creating a psionic storm.
‘This scene…?’
