Episode 88 – Ruler (8)

“How the hell did you find out!?”

What surprised me more than anyone else was Baek Seung-cheol and the National Intelligence Service, who had been leading this plan. As much as he received information about his opponent’s movements in advance and made a plan, he couldn’t believe that his plan had been seen through.

“You really get caught up in everything.”

“You don’t have to step out.”

Lee Ji-yeon grasped the situation, hardened her face, and told him to hide before opening the door. The moment he hid again, she opened the door and faced the agents rushing in.

“Avoid. They are coming here now.”

“Looks like you’re not a simple opponent.”

“Go, the Awoken are mixed.”

The agent, who kept glancing back with a pistol in her hand, nodded as her intuition matched.

And at the word Awakener, she frowned. It’s not just those who use the powers granted to them to fight against them, to protect people.

Even though the world is chaotic, there are definitely those who try to use it to see another benefit. Her enemies aren’t just monsters. Those people were also her enemies.

“It takes time for support to come. There is an emergency exit at the back, take your things and go there. Since no one has been there, the opponent does not know where it is.”

[Wait, the back emergency exit they’re talking about. Even now, a weak magical response was detected there. It’s a very small amount, but the changes that have occurred in such a static environment are clearly heterogeneous]

At that time, Lucy, who heard the agent recommend Jiyeon Lee to escape through the emergency exit, reported what she had sensed to him. According to Lucy, heading to the emergency exit is to fall into the opponent’s trap.

‘I have to go.’

Having made a decision, he headed first to the emergency exit in the back. At least, so that Lee Ji-yeon won’t be ambushed without knowing anything.

‘…Where is it?’

However, as he cautiously headed toward the emergency exit in a state of concealment, all that unfolded in front of him was a dim space with no sign of anything.

[It seems that they are hiding like us. but you can find it]

It’s a very minute magic that can’t be detected even with detection magic, but it doesn’t matter. Lucy slightly modified Nano Omega’s body to sense her opponent. The biometric data collected by Lucy in the meantime also includes numerous types of sensory and sensory organs.

The same goes for the magic beast’s organs that detect minute magical powers emitted in the air. Soon, Nano Omega began to find the location of the magical powers using those organs.

[Exploration complete]

And using it, I found the opponent who was hiding in a state of stealth. The other party was waiting tirelessly for Lee Ji-yeon to come over the door without finding Chang-hyeon, who had hidden herself like herself.

[Process immediately?]

“There is no time. do it.”

“!!!”

Finally, the moment he answers Lucy’s question.

After revealing himself, he suddenly heard his answer ringing in the air and immediately unleashed strong lightning magic at the frightened opponent.

“Aagh!!”

A flash of electricity exploded in a dark space with only the minimum amount of electric light coming on, and the opponent who was out of hiding at once was electrocuted and fell out screaming.

[There is no blow than I thought. Apparently, the magic was offset by the unknown power of the opponent]

“It doesn’t matter. let’s go.”

It was an attack that was launched with the assumption of at least fainting, but the opponent endured it only in pain as if there was a level of its own. Of course he didn’t care. It’s enough to feed him an extra hit before he comes to his senses and overwhelm him.

“Who, who are you? Whoa!”

The opponent staggered up from his seat and instinctively punched him as if he had undergone rigorous training, but he was unable to hit his fist because he cringed at the sight of the large one-eyed dreaming in the dark.

Aiming for that gap, he fired a kick at the empty body. With the terrible sound of breaking ribs from being hit by the shin, the shock wave sent the body flying several meters and landing on the ground, rolling several times.

“it’s okay. Now let’s hide again.”

[I will go into hiding]

Hearing this commotion and hearing a run behind him, he disappeared again. The agents who came running and Lee Ji-yeon were stunned by the traces of battle that appeared in an instant and the sight of a foreigner rolling on the floor moaning.

‘Today was wrong.’

Seeing that, he just left. The moment he came out of the bunker, urgently running reinforcements rushed past him and ran inside.

[According to my calculations based on magic output, the result is that the attacker just can’t beat Lee Ji-yeon. I don’t understand why you made that choice]

“I may have written something, or I may have made a mistake in my calculations. Normal people don’t try to calculate accurately like you do, and it’s impossible to do. Because no one can catch up with the experience you have accumulated in a short time. All experiences are yours.”

Returning to the city right next to him, having broken his hiding and unleashing the Nano Omega that was wrapped around him, he sat down on a common bench.

The citizens of the city, unaware of what happened in the immediate vicinity, simply go about their business.

“I expected it, but I didn’t know it would already be like this. Wouldn’t it be more annoying if I did something wrong?”

The moment Lucy released some of Lucy’s power through Jiyeon Lee, she already knew that the world’s attention would be focused on Jiyeon Lee.

I also thought that something impure might be mixed with that look. But I never thought I would be experiencing something like this so soon.

“I’m sorry for nothing. It was just something I did to make it easier for me.”

[But we cannot take the risk]

Lucy, of course, hugged him and said that it was right to use Lee Ji-yeon as a shield, but he just laughed weakly.

[…as expected, a way to cross the wall of the world as soon as possible]

Seeing this, Lucy, as if she couldn’t help it, ignited her inner desire even stronger. He was convinced that he had to go there himself to solve all these problems.

If he passed, he would be able to kill and eat all of his enemies himself.

[Elf Hero Raon]

“That’s right. Chris said that Raon will pass through this area with allied troops soon. And to attack him, the church also sent troops to their territory closest to this place.”

It was at that time that YuRia heard one piece of information. It was information that I would have missed had I not sent YuRia ahead of time.

***

“Surely Alfred said that an old alien race like the Elves might know the answers I’m looking for.”

Upon hearing the news, Lucy quickly ran the calculations. Raon, one of the heroes who fought alongside the saintess in the Great War, is fighting as an allied force against the saintess, who is currently going to extremes.

And he is currently the only known elf active in the human world. It meant that it was the only clue to catch the clue.

“But we are currently facing an all-out war with the lords of the central region…”

Lucy was momentarily conflicted. Even if it were possible, it would not be possible to remove some of the troops and return them to the human world. As a result of the calculation, even with the war with the lords of the central region, the power was tight.

Besides, sending one’s army to the human world means exposing one’s identity to the world, especially to religious forces.

Lucy couldn’t bear to continue the calculation and groaned. Her own desires and efficient resource management became variables themselves and harassed Lucy.

“I think I will be fine. More than anything, I think meeting you has become more important.”

Eventually, Lucy confided her concerns to him, and he gave an unexpected answer.

“If you kidnap Raon and attack the Church’s forces at the same time, you will be able to balance it. Allied forces, including the Pandemonium lords, will take a hit, but you will strike the order and balance it out. Like I said, the longer their fight lasts, the more we benefit.”

“But if that happens, our forces will also be weakened. First of all, you need a lot of power from crossing their ‘barrier’ near the Great Mountains.”

The wall is a huge fortress built by those who have fought against the demon world for a long time. The demon lords of today are members of the allied army, so they can cross the barrier freely, but even before the Great War, the demons made it their long-cherished wish to cross the barrier.

“…After all, you’re going to have to find a way to lead a large force over the barrier, right?”

barriers must be crossed. It wasn’t a small group sneaking in and out like now, but a large army. However, such technology and methods did not yet exist in Lucy’s demon army.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

No, no demon king had ever crossed the barrier without attacking.

“I will find a way.”

Lucy, who can’t move without data, said he would step up in a situation where he had no choice but to let go.

Of course, he himself wasn’t sure, but anyway, he had come this far after going through similar situations like this over and over again. This was what he did for Lucy.

“Island, a giant floating creature. After all, I have no choice but to ask for this.”

And while searching the internet for that, he found one piece of news that was perfect for his intention.

[Super-giant flying species in the sky]

“The island found in the large dungeon where the raid failed this time is written as a huge flying creature… like an island. There is also a video. Big big. Similar to Behemoth. It’s a km class monster.”

He informed Lucy of his plan. When Lucy saw the flying turtle, or crab-like creature, she immediately recognized his plan.

[If you send troops to a super-giant species modified from that creature as a base, you will be able to overcome the barrier itself]

“I don’t know if it will work, but I will try it first. You probably can’t imagine that such a giant species would fly through the sky and bring troops, right? We might find out someday, but we should move as much as possible while they don’t know who we are.”

The super-giant experiment through Behemoth has already been completed perfectly. He was convinced that if he could somehow deliver the specimen to Lucy, Lucy could make another evolution based on it.

“I think it will be possible.”

“I’m sorry. I haven’t finished probation yet, but this is a time-limited job…”

But it wasn’t something he could do entirely on his own. In the end, he had no choice but to contact Lee Ji-yeon again.

On the surface, the dungeon core activation work and the terrorist incident, which had been carried out without Changhyeon’s knowledge, were still dragging on without being finished.

“It’s okay because it’s all I want to do is to slaughter the invading monsters and help Mr. Changhyeon.”

However, Lee Ji-yeon did not refuse his request as if it were natural.
