Chapter 109 – Corps (9)

“I heard that Liam went in before we arrived. Let’s go to the other side so we don’t collide as much as possible.”

“That’s fortunate. Please tell Command to do so.”

Unless you don’t know if you’ve been constantly active under the same affiliation, there’s no way that Awakeners gathering from all over the world will be able to properly fight together.

Because of this, in the end, the main force for raiding large dungeons has no choice but to be taken by the local army and local Awakened people, and most of these convened people take on simple tasks and move individually or in teams.

In other words, it means that you don’t have to run into Liam if you want to.

“······Lee Ji-yeon’s atmosphere seems to have changed a bit.”

Leaving the room, I smiled at the strange feeling. It’s only a few hours apart, but I felt something like that.

[Lee Ji-yeon tends to always keep calm, so I can’t read her inside.]

Lucy, who was able to read the other person’s feelings or lies with only the elements that were visible on the outside, said in a dissatisfied voice that she could not see anything from Lee Ji-yeon.

“I just saw the look in your eyes and got that feeling. It’s just a hunch.”

Of course, I don’t know anything for sure. I don’t really need to dig it out, so I just ignore it. Soon it was past midnight and it was completely night, and it was the day we had to go inside the dungeon.

This bizarre sensation of passing through the cracks of a shimmering space, not once or twice, but nevertheless, it was difficult to adapt.

And when you pass through there, a completely different world and environment appear. The sky is purple and the ground is dark. Islands made of bizarre rocks defied gravity and floated in the air. It’s a bizarre place that doesn’t compare to the demon realm where Lucy is located.

“It is said that it is divided into two main ways to attack the enemies. The plan is that while the army incapacitates the enemy by pouring firepower, the Awakeners will defend the army, hold on to their positions, and when the target is reached, they will all rush together.”

After arriving at the base built inside, Lee Ji-yeon, in reverse, told me the contents of the operation she had heard. A war against an alien army of monsters that has never been seen before in human history. Thanks, we had to start from scratch.

However, as data is gradually accumulated around the world, their own opponents and combat methods are being developed. Among the methods, the army armed with modern firearms and the Awakeners, who are superhumans, fight together and create synergy.

“It’s a strategy where you just have to keep your seat as long as you listen.”

The more relaxed the local army, the lower the theoretical difficulty. Literally, bombard it with shells and missiles like crazy, inflict maximum damage, burn it to ashes, and then capture it.

However, there is no way that the opponent will be treated like that, so when the operation begins, you will have to change your movements again according to their response. Although data has been accumulated, it is still lacking.

“Long time no see. Lee Ji-yeon from Korea.”

“Uh, why…”

And I ran into someone I didn’t want to run into then.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

No, not even met. It’s clear that he heard the news that he went in first and was on the lookout and came all the way here to find us himself.

“Is it strange to come to see someone to fight with? Even if it’s a celebrity like you.”

Liam, his eyes shining through his sunglasses, smiled at her embarrassed.

“You fight together? On that day, you ignored others and only looked forward and ran. Whether people die or not, just to kill the enemy.”

“I am just being faithful to my role. If you protect people with that big shield, my job is to kill enemies with a sword.”

She, who is usually kind to everyone, clearly expressed her displeasure and rejection, but he was not displeased, but rather laughed and passed it over. Considering his proud personality, it was quite a strange case.

“I think people have changed a bit.”

Oh Jin-hyeok, who had not liked him from the beginning, was interested in him.

“We belong to different groups. There doesn’t seem to be any time for small talk like this.”

“You are fair. I also have ties to Korea.”

“you?”

“Because there is definitely that monster in Korea right now. An Awakener who recently received a major injury disappeared completely?”

But at that moment, the story suddenly jumped to a strange place.

“Code x. An unknown monster. Some people seem to assume it’s an Awoken with unique abilities, but I’m sure I’ll catch him anyway. You have to catch it, crush it, cut it down, and throw it away.”

Liam, who brought up my story out of the blue, did not hide his feelings. The intense anger and murderous intent, as well as Lee Ji-yeon, who were disguised as clothes and attached to my body, made me flinch.

“Can I take this act as a threat?”

Lee Ji-yeon also showed her anger without holding back any longer. To the point where my face, which had already been hardened, became even more hardened.

“I was just cursing at the monster that wanders around. Maybe it will appear here too. But why are you so sensitive?”

“Stop the pun.”

“He showed up not only in Korea, but also abroad. I don’t know the purpose or identity of it, but there is still little information, but one thing is certain. It’s you. The only point of contact is you.”

Liam didn’t back down despite her threats, but rather took a step forward. The blue eyes shining through the sunglasses did not shake at all.

“Honestly hard to believe, but I don’t want to miss the only possibility.”

“It’s not even funny…”

“Now let’s get this far. There is no time.”

In the end, I got into a fight between them. My eyes, which intervened while blocking Lee Ji-yeon’s way, met Liam’s.

“You······.”

“According to Mr. Anderson’s logic, I was there and Jin-Hyuk Oh is also here, so everyone is a possibility. From what I overheard, the evidence is pretty weak, so I think you’d better leave today.”

I really didn’t want to go out. The reason why Jiyeon Lee was featured was because she wanted to draw attention and tank instead of me.

But this time I couldn’t.

[If I run into you this time, I will kill you… No, please send me here]

Meanwhile, Lucy is furious and threatens to punish Liam.

“Where are you from?”

“To check and clear my mind.”

Returning to the place where the troops were ready to go, Liam climbed into the vehicle with a dazed face.

“Confirmation?”

“You don’t know. fountain.”

He glanced at the intelligence agent sitting next to him, then shook his head and shut his mouth. It was a young female agent who had been assigned to him for some time, working under the nickname Sam.

“Did you have a relationship with Lee Ji-yeon, the awakened person in Korea?”

“This crazy. There are no secrets, am I?”

When she, who was communicating somewhere, found out the whole story and asked Liam openly, he laughed in amazement.

“I just saw it. I thought it would have been nice to get to know them, but it must have been difficult.”

In fact, it wasn’t just because of the personal grudge he was pursuing that he approached Lee Ji-yeon. However, Lee Ji-yeon was a person who was the complete opposite of Liam from the beginning.

[Sorry. I thought it was decided as a prey.]

A voice echoed in his head, mocking him.

His Constellation, who knew that he was in a situation where he had to listen and not respond when others were around, scratched him like this whenever he had a chance.

“Do not work. If you tear a few monsters to death, the stuffiness will be alleviated.”

“We are leaving now, as it was not.”

As soon as Liam’s words were ignored, the fighters flying across the sky sortied first, and then the ground troops mobilized all at once to the center of the dungeon where the enemies were.

“If we’re going to drop bombs anyway, can’t we just wipe them out with nuclear bombs?”

“It has already been proven. Given the bizarre powers of the monsters that defy the law, it is better to have a steady stream of normal shells than an unstoppable rain of nuclear bombs.”

Liam, not particularly nervous, passed the time chatting with Sam. When such a large armored force reached the position and was just about to take up positions.

“No, they move first!”

The enemies guarding the dungeon also did not sit still and hit the shells.

“Everyone, take your seats. We must hold this place so that our forces can fire!”

“Huh, there are many.”

In an atmosphere of urgency at once, Liam got out of the vehicle and clicked his tongue as he watched the videos provided by the reconnaissance aircraft.

The march of monsters filling the sky and the ground was heading precisely for this place. The march was so many that there was no end in sight.

“It’s literally an army.”

The words that someone who was watching it from the side threw out a word clearly stuck in their heads. But the thing that caught Liam’s eye the most was a single entity flying through the air leading a huge group of various monsters.

Liam smiled faintly when he saw that he was holding a weapon that looked like a sword. An enemy appeared against him.

***

“I am a little worried about that. Isn’t that too much?”

[Although the data is lacking, if you predict with that alone, I don’t think it will be so overwhelming.]

“You are strangely relaxed.”

When two armies trying to eliminate each other collide.

In a place a little far away from that imminent situation, there was an existence that secretly crossed the sky, hiding its appearance.

As soon as he heard the news that the enemies had left their hiding places and came out in order to block any unknown variables, they left to enter an empty house.

[Now you can be sure. It is clear that invasive species are not going all-out and are stepping up slowly. But I’m not sure if that’s intentional or if it’s a limitation]

Based on data from the invasive species, Lucy was convinced that they were hiding their powers. There is no reason for a corps that is at the level of using the tactics and types of soldiers that it can refer to, to engage in ignorant battles by mass-producing inefficient types of troops.

“It’s a restriction.”

He fell silent at Lucy’s guess. Although it has not been revealed yet, as a general common sense, the Awakeners’ status window, gate, and dungeon are conflicting elements.

The status window gives people the strength to fight. On the other hand, gates and dungeons threaten the world by spitting out monsters.

However, if you think about it differently, gates and dungeons can act as a suppressor to prevent those monsters from pouring down at once.

“I don’t know. First, let’s start by trusting people and doing what we have to do.”

He landed quietly and saw a fortress guarded by invasive species in front of him. And the black creatures covering the fort. The appearance of rooting in the ground looked a little different from ordinary animals.

“Send.”

[Enemy reaction to surroundings.]

He went over to deliver it to Lucy. However, not all enemies abandoned the fort and ran out.

[This is Mantis, one of the new species that Earthlings call advanced species]

A monster clad in dark brown armor that raised its claws on both arms and glowing red eyes, and a monster clad in black leather with a large one-eyed staring from its chest faced each other.
