Chapter 41-Laws of Nature (1)

Episode 41 – Laws of Nature (1)

Only about a month has passed since the strange and sudden change of reality, like the gateney monster.

People have barely adapted to reality. To be honest, it wasn’t something I hadn’t even imagined about being invaded by beings from the other world or aliens. Even if there are many problems and creaks, people have now found their own stability.

However, changes came continuously, as if people were checking their level of adaptation and moving on to the next stage.

“Oh, no······!”

Lee Ji-hyun, who immediately turned the steering wheel after receiving a call from the team leader who worked together as a team of awakeners, arrived at the scene and was shocked with a pale face.

A developed city area with huge buildings. Numerous people there are in a hurry to evacuate from the scene where they became ill.

The police rushed in and evacuated the people with all their might, using whistles or loudspeakers.

What they are looking at with fearful eyes is none other than a huge gate created in the middle of a wide crossroads.

However, the condition of the gate was strange.

Based on the data accumulated so far, the gate only exists calmly at the moment it first appears and gathers strength. In that state, it gradually increases in size, moves vigorously, and explodes at once when it reaches its climax.

However, the gate that appeared at this intersection immediately destroyed the common sense that people had established, and within a few minutes of appearing, it rapidly grew and shook violently. As if it would spit out the monsters inside at any moment.

“In the first place, the color is different!”

Lee Ji-yeon saw the gate, which was dark red, unlike the previous gate, and shouted to the team leader over the phone.

“I probably won’t. you are alone No army, no comrades. Just run away, Jiyeon!”

“That, that’s…”

The team leader, seeing this as a breaking news report, ordered her to just run away with the others.

But her steps did not fall easily. People running away in fear. Other people who have overcome that fear and are helping others in some way.

I couldn’t run away from them.

What took precedence over the desire for growth was the desire to save people.

“A monster, a monster…!”

“already.”

The time when less than 30 minutes had passed. Lee Ji-yeon, who was running like crazy and evacuating people with reduced mobility, gritted her teeth and glared at the gate at the cry of someone nearby.

‘come.’

Her heart thumped more than ever when she saw the unidentified monsters coming out of the cracks in the shimmering space.

The monsters that now reveal their horrific appearance are completely different species from the monsters that have been discovered so far.

It is covered in rough skin like alligator skin, and has strong, thick arms and hands, and relatively small and short hind legs. At the end of its long neck, only a cone-shaped mouth resembling a lamprey eel was attached.

‘I, I have to stop it.’

She trembled and forced her teeth to clench. Emergency evacuation is actually not difficult, but the problem is defense measures.

If we just evacuated without any defensive measures, the monsters that would scatter in all directions of the city would harm people at random.

So it took time until the defense line was equipped and the conditions were met to hunt all those monsters.

“Up, it’s dangerous!”

“I’ll try to draw your attention. So avoid it. You can’t win with that pistol.”

she stepped forward Realistically, it’s impossible to face every enemy, but you have to do everything you can. The police officer next to her reflexively stopped her, saying it was dangerous, but Lee Ji-yeon shook her head.

The small pistol in the policeman’s pale hand quivered pathetically.

‘why.’

The moment Lee Ji-yeon walked forward, she glared at her enemies with burning eyes to suppress her fear.

It has been a question that has been on my mind since the first time I met him until now. Why, why do those monsters hurt and hate people?

Of course, the monsters did not answer when asked. I didn’t even expect it. A race for survival to see who will survive in the end. There is no meaning. The stronger one wins the competition and survives.

[Iron Ingot]

She found herself and manifested her powers as she watched the monsters frantically run across the asphalt.

She has never avoided a fight. Rather, he fueled his fighting spirit with the longing he harbored inside.

And the status window always rewarded that fighting spirit and determination.

“Kreurreuk…”

A large car was also smashed with her shoulder, and the arm of the monster that rushed in was blocked by her body, which stood still. A shockwave exploded and dust blew in all directions. Under normal circumstances, she, who is much smaller than the monster, should have exploded and died.

However, while the panicked monster was salivating from its gaping snout, Lee Ji-yeon, who gritted her teeth, stood up even as her legs broke the floor and burrowed into the floor, and rushed at him in reverse.

***

“More, to the depths…”

Sirens, screams, and shouts rang out from all sides. However, she, who is now out of breath, has no time to worry about anything else. He couldn’t even care if the citizens he evacuated were fine.

‘little bit more······.’

Even though her breath and muscles were limited, she ran recklessly. The monster’s bloody fist trembled at the end of the broken arm.

“Ah!”

From behind, a few monsters spitting grotesque howls are following you all the way.

In order to protect people, Ji-yeon Lee fights against many monsters as a shield herself, and after finally overpowering some of them, Ji-yeon Lee’s choice is to use herself as bait to lure the angry monsters into the empty space where people evacuated. .

Of course, he hadn’t yet conceived of how he would live after this.

“Ah!”

It was at that time that she fell at the entrance of the mountain while recklessly heading for a nearby mountain to find a place where there would be no casualties as much as possible.

My stamina is already limited. The monsters did not tire and were already closely following them.

‘It’s over.’

She sensed her end. It was something I was determined to do, but I didn’t expect it to last less than a month.

But at that moment.

“you······!”

“Gaaagh!!”

While sitting down watching the monsters approaching her, she noticed something behind her and widened her eyes, and at the same time, heat blew in.

[Spell sent successfully].

“There are survivors. I’ll let them go.”

[Start transmission.]

From the mobile phone he held out in front of him, dazzling flashes of light exploded one after another, followed by a flame cannon bursting with hot heat.

‘Also!’

Lee Ji-yeon forced her eyes open and watched the scene. I couldn’t see it properly because of the intense light, but I managed to see with my own eyes that the monsters that were ambushed from behind died and some of them disappeared as if they were evaporating.

“Hey, wait. wait!”

As soon as the monsters disappeared, she hurriedly rose from her seat, dragging her injured and weary body. Because if I didn’t come out now, I felt like I’d miss him again.

“Calm down. You seem to be very hurt.”

But this time, he didn’t duck.

“ah······.”

Thanks to this, Jiyeon Lee was able to see him closely for the first time. He covered most of his face with a mask this time too, but his clothes and atmosphere were very ordinary.

“How? No, this question is meaningless. If you’re an Awakener, you’ll have a unique ability.”

Lee Ji-yeon, who had to open her mouth at the same time as she organized her mind, desperately shook her head to organize her words.

I wanted to see him again, but when I did, it was hard to decide what to say first.

“I-I’ll say thank you first.”

Then she came to her senses and first of all, she said thank you. Come to think of it, this was the second time he had saved his life.

“It’s nothing great. Just as you saved others, I only helped you.”

“Ah, that’s…”

“I saw everything. How could that be? While trying to throw away not only her daily life, but also her life.”

However, he rather shook his head. He, who had already been watching the whole situation, was looking at Lee Ji-yeon with a different gaze.

“I can’t do that. So I saved you. If I find someone who can do what I can’t do, it will definitely help in the end.”

“This isn’t that great… no, no.”

Lee Ji-yeon was about to shake her head, but soon reversed her words. There are definitely people who don’t want to fight. It was just like that.

The only thing she doesn’t understand is that he, who seems reluctant to fight against monsters, actually has already stepped up and fought against them several times.

The fact that he actually avoids fighting was quite a shock to her, who interpreted it with a sense of justice similar to her own.

“It wasn’t really because I wanted to fight. There is such a thing.”

“Yes?”

But he avoided answering with an incomprehensible word. She was taken aback, but when she asked again, he didn’t seem to be able to answer, so she just kept her mouth shut.

“The situation seems to have ended somehow.”

“Thank you again. And one last thing. Like the strange gate that happened today, I don’t know what will happen in the future. If you’re an Awoken too, you know that you can become stronger by solving the tasks presented by the status window. You don’t have to go out of your way to protect people. I think we have to fight even to protect our own lives…”

Standing next to him, staggering at his words pointing to the quiet city, she took a deep breath with a determined look on her face, then lowered her head and said her thoughts. It was all her sincerity.

“I don’t know why the world has become like this in the first place.”

“I think it’s possible in any form. war and competition. Perhaps you could say that we have been complacent.”

Hearing Jiyeon’s complaint, he quietly opened his mouth. Surprised by the fact that it was possible enough, while she was speechless, he was thinking of another world he already knew.

“If you don’t adapt, you will be defeated and perish. That’s why I thought there should be more people like you and survive longer.”

This was what he thought while rushing to this place due to the appearance of a different gate and the rampage of monsters.

Because the goblins who failed to properly respond to the new forces led by Lucy, the demon army, were defeated and destroyed under the greedy indifference of the same lords, and extinction is in progress.

No matter how you looked at it, the situation the goblins and the lords of the 72 demon world were facing did not look different from the current situation on Earth.
