I Alone Going To The Tower

Fortunately, things were better in Korea.

Korea, which has star-level hunters who have accumulated experience at Red Gate, and many wizards as it is the birthplace of magic, was able to establish effective defense tactics in a small territory.

Currently, Korea is covering all towers in 7 districts.

It is inevitable that a few high-ranking flying monsters escape and cause civilian damage, but it was a miraculous situation compared to some countries where their capitals were collapsing in real time.

"Top Lord."

I was resting inside the tower while listening to the news that EA was telling me, when Jeong Seo-jin approached me and bowed my head.

“We will soon arrive in a new continent.”

"Okay."

I got up.

"But Jin-ah Seo. How long can the earth last like this?"

“Even if it survives miraculously, it will last a month.”

Jeong Seo-jin raised her glasses and continued.

"But even disaster will not be able to continue pouring out monsters at this pace. The Tower of Judgment is not a structure that creates infinite monsters. I expect the rest period to come soon."

"Closed period? When is that?"

Jeong Seo-jin silently showed me a picture of the sky recently.

[7, 301, 524, 070 > 7, 000, 000, 000]

"The point when the population falls to 7 billion. There are 300 million left."

Without realizing it, I laughed out loud.

"Even though it's a guess... you know it's a bad idea, right?"

"I sincerely hope that my predictions are wrong."

"Zeep, yes. Let's go."

I came out of the tower with Jeong Jeong-jin.

As soon as they come out, a loud gunshot pierces my ears. Still, the tower is fighting against the monsters that come in.

And around it, a purple wind that is clearly visible to the eye is blowing.

This is the atmosphere blowing in the New World. It spreads from the New World, the center of occurrence, to hundreds of kilometers.

If it enters this atmosphere, not only general communication becomes impossible, but also the warp coordinates are distorted. The New World was a huge dungeon in the middle of the earth.

and now it looks

A huge film that hardened as if the purple atmosphere had solidified. Below that, we could see the appearance of a new continent covered with magic trees.

'It's right over there.'

Dry saliva goes down your throat.

From now on, this is the path I have to go alone.

'Go.'

I made up my mind and walked slowly. The wizards around them bowed their heads and made a way.

"Seniors."

When I turned my head, Jin-Bora approached me with a worried face.

She seemed to know what she was thinking now.

I said with a smile.

"I promise. This is the last irrational number."

"Please make another promise other than that."

She took off her full sleeve cuffs, which she had always worn, and put them on her mine.

"Are you sure you'll come back?"

"……okay."

A roaring gunfire reverberates in all directions. I walked forward and turned on the ear mic.

"Everyone worked very hard to handle my stubbornness."

I ended up swallowing the countless words that came to my mind.

"I'll go."

He activated the wing golem and sprinted off the ground.

towards the new continent.

- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

In Songdo, Incheon, the defense of the Tower of Judges was in full swing.

Flying monsters reminiscent of black pterosaurs escaped through the missile firepower.

-7I missed two ranks!

"Leave it. I can't catch that. I only care about the things in front of me."

Then Yoon-seul, who responded coldly to the microphone, turned her head.

'He works hard.'

Hong-yeon, who had dug through the monsters, swung her sword like crazy.

I didn't get used to seeing the monsters rushing in like a mountain one by one on the floor in one shot.

Truly a one-man army.

Are all certified first-class monsters like that? There are ten people like that in the world, how can humanity be pushed back?

While Yoon Seul-ah was thinking like that, Hong-yeon, who had eliminated all the monsters in front of her, returned with her breath panting.

"Oh, Yuna! Are you okay?"

"Yes. That's fine."

Hong Yeon sat across the rubble of the collapsed building, straightened her suit collar and caught her breath.

"Report."

"Oh, yes!"

Yoon Seul-ah said while holding her screen pad.

"Additional towers fell in Wonju and Jinju, and senior Nam-jin Lim sent available troops there. Currently, the total number of towers that have fallen in the Republic of Korea is 9."

"Yeah."

"And I got a call from the governor of Gangwon earlier, and I think the outer perimeter of the Wonju shelter was damaged. We asked for a vehicle and an escort force to move the citizens."

Yoon-seul, who spoke up to that point, clicked her tongue.

"I'm sorry, when is the Jidul shelter advertised as the safest in Korea?"

“If civilians come to the ground now, it is dangerous whoever is holding them as escorts.”

Hong Yeon said, wiping the blood from her sword with her handkerchief.

"Perhaps the current explosive offensive will not continue. If the monster's offensive subsides, we will allow movement between shelters, so please explain the situation well and reassure the citizens of Wonju."

“Yeah, okay. And that…”

Yoon Seul swallowed her saliva.

"There's a bit of a power leak because we're trying to block close to 10 towers at a time. Wouldn't it be better for us to give up some of them now?"

“……”

“This is also the opinion of the Operations Department.”

The federation guideline was to give up where to give up.

But Hong-yeon didn't. I thought I still had enough.

When news of an area is abandoned, the teamwork as a whole is broken. Conflicts occur not only among civilians, but also between hunters and the military.

"We can still afford it. If the situation gets worse than it is now, we will take further action."

"Okay, I get it."

"Are there any other news? Overseas..."

At those words, Seul-ah Yoon gave a meaningful smile.

"Ah, you see. Are you talking about the news from your west side?"

Hong-Yeon's face brightened.

He smiled as if he knew Yoon Seul and left a page on her screen pad.

"Oh, here it is! In the process of breaking through the Pacific Ocean, he said that the President and the demons who followed him were annihilated! And the master lord Kim Yoo-shin successfully entered the new continent! The horse tower and the heavenly castle have returned to Korea through transfer magic as they are. ."

Hong-yeon closed her eyes with a more relaxed face.

"It went as planned."

"Did this really go as planned?"

Yoon Seul-ah said as she lowered her screen pad.

"I don't know how much I think about it. Why did the horse tower go through the Pacific Ocean and leave only Kim Yoo-shin down?"

“Because this is something only seniors can do.”

"Hmm."

Yoon Seul-ah crossed her arms with her skeptical face.

"Even though she is the strongest hunter, she says she can break through the new continent alone? Does that make sense?"

"People other than seniors are only a hindrance. Even the weakest monsters in the new continent are ranked 7th. If you move to such a large celestial castle, you will fall without a short time."

Hongyeon raised her head.

“Senior is doing his best as the commander in chief. If you trust and wait…

"Huh? Why?"

Yoon Seul Ah followed Hong Yeon and raised her head to look at the sky.

[7,000, 000, 000, 000 : 7,000, 000, 000, 000]

[49: 59: 59]

The population is estimated at 7 billion.

A new countdown has begun.

* * *

Humanity has suffered an indelible wound that will wipe out 1/7 of the total population.

With the population of 7 billion coming to a close, several days of hell stopped.

Now, the tower that was descending indiscriminately from the sky stopped, and all the Judgment Towers that were open up to the 9th floor were closed, and the outflow route was again limited to the first floor. The activity level of the monsters itself also decreased significantly.

grace period.

Humanity has bought time to breathe.

But people were still terrified.

[7, 000, 000, 000 : 6, 000, 000, 000]

[42:10:57]

Because a new countdown has begun.

The number on the front right has also been changed to 6. There was only one idea in everyone's mind.

When the countdown down there is zero again.

[7, 000, 000, 000 > 6, 000, 000, 000]

Because hell will begin.

This time, until the population of 6 billion remains, a harsh offensive of monsters will be poured out.

Can anyone be sure that he is not included in the billion that will disappear?

There were less than two days left.

The terrible nightmare will not end until Nemesis, the master of this disaster and boss monster, disappears, or until that number becomes 0.

So far, mankind has prevented any catastrophe.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Every time a disaster occurs, it is destruction or the end, and the media has heard a lot about it, but in the end, it has endured well, doesn't it?

Everyone thought that this time too, they would somehow get over it.

But this time it was a little different. One billion people died.

Never had anything like this before.

In the face of the final disaster, mankind's common sense and shallow self-esteem were falling apart.

Fear, frustration, defeat, helplessness.

Those trapped underground now needed a reason to live, that is, hope.

And the only way to end this catastrophe by eradicating this terrible nemesis.

[The Federation must form the 2nd raid right now!]

[You mean making a second one? when?]

[I'm really going to die like this, you bastards!]

The demand for a stronger second attack force than ever before was pouring in.

[US Defense Secretary, "We admit our mistakes. This time, we will take the lead." Promise of massive support.]

[China. Even the most elite hunter team under the direct control of the president will be dispatched.]

[USA, "Acknowledges mistakes, but there is also a problem with the alliance that dismantled the raid."]

[The Federation and member countries are discussing specific details. However, there is still disagreement over the gathering place and the size of the troops.]

Finally, the United States and China promised massive support, but this time other countries responded somewhat lukewarmly.

During the general offensive, the member countries lost many hunters and people.

Here again, if the Hunter's power leaks more, there is a concern that the last line of defense, which is still hard to maintain, will collapse.

[Make a raid squad! Do something!]

[Is it really going to end like this?]

Everyone cried out desperately.

'… … Still, I wish our country would go a little further.'

Actually, this was my honest opinion.

How much time will it take for the raid team to depart, cross the Pacific, reach the new continent, find Nemesis, and kill it? And who will protect their lives during that time?

While each country was unable to resolve their differences due to the difficult problem of balancing the dispatch of a raiding force and the protection of their own citizens, the time of death was drawing near.

And just as everyone expected.

[7, 000, 000, 000 > 6, 000, 000, 000]

[00：00：00]

The nightmare has begun.

Towers of judgment began to fall from the sky, and monsters poured from the entire 8th floor onto the towers on the ground.

This time, it will not stop until the population reaches 6 billion.
