Return of the Archmage

Chapter 25

Crack brake.

Thirty years after the crack appeared in the world, no exact principle has been found.

I’m just guessing.

– A huge crack will be distorted in the middle of downtown Gangnam, Seoul! Crack brakes produced with him. According to experts, the brakes are estimated to be at level 5…….

If the number of cracks exceeds a certain range, the cracks are destroyed just as the rip-off is overflowing.

It is not an explosion like a nuclear explosion, but rather a crack brake has caused disaster every time it is opened.

Of course.

Monsters who are supposed to be trapped in a crack pop out of the world.

It is impossible to know and deal with it in advance.

If you can predict it, you can just wait for users and grab it as soon as it comes out.

However, it is inevitable to identify the moment when the crack brakes occur and deal with them as soon as possible.

If any monster leaks out during the user’s time, or if there’s an ordinary person passing by.

No.

– The area where the crack brakes occur is a busy street and the floating population…….

If it’s a place with thousands of people.

– Evacuate the area as soon as possible…….

It’s the beginning of hell.

The one that’s open right now is level 5 crack brake.

It is the highest level disaster that has ever occurred in South Korea.

Above all, the user management headquarters judged that the brakes were carried out in an unprecedented manner.

– The User Management Headquarters officially announces that the crack brakes are not just collapsed by stacked cracks, but amplified by overlapping them.….

Overlapping the crack brakes!

The first crack brake was level 3.

Three-level cracks collapsed simultaneously within one, two, and the same area, evolving into four-level cracks, and three such four-level cracks overlapped to five levels.

“…it’s as if the cracks were evolving, and the brakes are evolving.”

On my way to the scene.

Kang In-ho told the story he heard from Lee Hye-sung at Lee Hyun-hwa’s voice on speakerphone.

“What? You crazy Chinese punks.”

At the same time, the unfeeling abusive language speaks to her hot personality.

“As expected, it’s hot.”

Lee Hye-sung liked this couple because of that couple.

The first meeting wasn’t pleasant, but if you don’t blame him now, it means you know what’s the priority.

“So when are you coming? Monsters are starting to pour.”

“I’ll be there in five minutes. What about the other users?

“I’m blocking it, but I’m overwhelmed with a level five break!”

“I’ll be right there. Three minutes.”

Kang In-ho stopped the car because he was in a hurry.

“I’m gonna go first. Friend.”

At the same time, he opened the door and started running.

“That’s fast.

Even Lee Hye-sung is so fast that he can’t catch a move.

I don’t know why people drive cars in the first place.

Lee Hye-sung moved to the driver’s seat because he couldn’t run like that.

“I don’t have a license, but it doesn’t matter.”

A 2.8 billion-dollar car has begun to roll wheels in its unlicensed hands.

***

When cracks build up, brakes or evolution occur.

Of course, the level of difficulty is higher than that of ordinary cracks.

Users dislike it because the amount of mana accumulated in the crack increases.

Such brakes and evolution are disasters at the same time.

Monsters with only five-level crack brakes are well above five levels.

“Shifal! Why is the orcs so strong!”

“I can’t get through the soft cowhide!”

Naturally, those level monsters have become so strong that they may have gone up a notch.

Countless users gathered and rankers were coming one after another, but the damage was increasing.

Above all, the end of the crack brake is the closure of the crack.

“If you go this way, boss, come out! We need to get this straight!”

“Crazy! What do you want me to do?”

Closure or natural extinction.

It does disappear anyway.

On average, the crack brakes are maintained for 24 hours.

Some may say that it is okay to deal with it outside, but the natural destruction of the crack is simply proof that it has not prevented disaster.

I mean, at least three times the damage you’ve done so far when the brakes or reinforced bosses come out.

No, it’s questionable whether we can stop it in this situation.

Boss Monster from a level 5 crack brake.

It’ll be at least like a 7 level crack boss.

“Kang In-ho! When is Kang In-ho coming?”

“Support! Support me!”

In the chaos that spread out like that, a stem of salvation came down.

Fire-!

A bunch of monsters cutting through the air with flames!

And a hero surrounded by crimson light.

“It’s Kang Inho!”

“Here he comes!”

“Phew.”

Kang In-ho, the world’s only seven-level crack solo player, appeared.

Looking at the fireworks exploding in the distance, Lee Hye-sung headed to the place where Han Seo-young and Han Tae-sung were located.

It was not easy to move because so many monsters and users were tangled, but it was not difficult to find Han Tae-sung fighting monsters with a large shield.

“Hyesung!”

Of course things weren’t good here either.

Despite the large number of guilds, rankers.

The terrain itself is not good for now.

It’s not good to fight against many monsters, and you have to think about monsters falling from tall buildings as well as everywhere.

Above all, most of downtown Seoul is open due to the subway.

Buildings that collapse with property damage caused by monsters running and destroying come as obstacles.

“What a mess.”

“There’s support coming from other countries!”

“What about you, ma’am.

“Fortunately, they’re evacuated. He happened to be out today, so he went straight to the safe zone.”

He deals with monsters that rush in moderately and tells stories he heard from Kang In-ho.

“What? Crazy!”

“So this isn’t a natural phenomenon? No, it’s not. In the first place, three-level crack brakes couldn’t have happened more than ten at a time.”

I have no choice but to be angry.

In this day and age, few people are patriotic to the nation. However, it is unbearable that users from other countries secretly experimented with casualties and disasters in their own countries.

“So what’s the user management headquarters doing?”

“I don’t know if there’s any evidence. I gave you the video, so you’ll take care of it.”

The Chinese users who were involved a few days ago were bigger than I thought.

Han Seo-young, who was relieved because nothing happened, frowned.

I should have reported it.

That might have prevented it.

No, it may have been able to reduce the damage.

He shook his head looking at Han Seo-young, who was blaming himself.

“It’s not our fault. Did the user management department initially catch me saying that it would tell me about a dozen brakes that I couldn’t catch?”

“It’s…….”

Besides, it wasn’t time to beat myself up.

“Save one more. If you feel so guilty.”

The monsters that poured out to the point of an end were scattered all over the place, trying to kill at least one more person.

Lee Hye-sung, who was hiding behind the shield and watching the situation, set off for a fiery battlefield.

“Let’s go. There’s no end to this.”

It is a disaster that cannot be prevented by Lee Hye-sung alone.

However, looking back on the 30 years he has walked, it has never been possible.

Dragon Road, Empire, The Devil.

Even with the magic of 10 circles, I had to risk my life, and I lived all the way to get what I wanted.

The same is true of this time.

“There are a lot of great talent in Korea, so let’s get on the bus and raise the level.”

There is no particular sense of purpose.

Because you’re mad at China?

Lee Hye-sung had more time on the fantasy level than when he was born and lived in Korea.

Rather, I am grateful to China.

“Give me a cause to eat later.”

The painting has already been painted up to 60 or 70 levels.

All I need is paint to spray on my sketch.

But he throws the paints on his own.

I was lazy to work hard to eat money and level, but the event happened like this.

“Life damage is……”.”

The civilian sacrifice is certainly unfortunate.

That’s not something to worry about when Lee Hye-sung, a single user, steps up.

The best he can do is close this hell down as soon as possible.

Level 5 crack brake.

Amid the disaster broadcast live around the world, the most notable screen was Kang In-ho, the world’s No. 1 player.

Dozens of monsters are cut off for each cut.

And the big guilds, the top rankers, who join him.

It is more efficient to deal with monsters scattered in all directions, but there is already a way to minimize the damage of crack brakes in 30 years of data.

– Top ranking players in Korea and users from other countries are gathering around Kang In-ho user! It looks like you’re trying to get into the crack brake.

There weren’t many.

A hundred people.

We could have gathered more if we wanted to, but we didn’t.

Level 5 crack brake.

I had to leave out people who could be in the way, let alone help.

Above all, it is not possible to invest all of its power only in crack brakes.

Elite.

In that sense, the top 100 rankers were never small.

However, the anchor’s voice was weak.

– One doesn’t seem easy. Although they are very active, monsters pouring from the crack brakes of all-time catastrophes are piling up faster than they are dealing with. In particular, they are even moving to prevent them from entering with crack brakes, so the entry will be delayed even further.….

Monsters are smart.

The higher the crack level, the more intelligent monsters there are than humans.

Collective action is a natural result.

Waiting for the boss to come out even gives me goosebumps.

But the rankers didn’t give up.

Slowly, little by little, progressed.

Then, at some point, he retreated.

Because moving forward, not by their power, but by the monsters.

There was a confrontation for a while.

Naturally, damage was continuing elsewhere.

– A situation to make a quick decision. What’s going on in the field?

In the midst of disaster, field control is usually done by the master of a large guild.

One, Kang In-ho is doing it now.

Video taken from the sky did not show the hundreds of rankers covered in huge shields in detail.

That’s about 10 people.

With the shield lifted.

We’re moving forward again!

Rankers began to move back towards the crack brakes.

It’s not the same speed as before.

Full gallop!

– Quickly break through the Monsters’ siege.

Millions of people were worried.

It’s not a lesson.

It’s good to break through quickly, but the distance to the crack brake is too far.

There is no turning back the moment you hesitate.

People hope for miracles, but the statistics accumulated over the past hour do not lie.

– Oh, it slows down. Monster level goes up.

The monsters get stronger as they get closer to the crack brakes.

Due to the influence of the monsters who threw themselves in the way, the speed became slower and at some point, the rankers were covered in a group of monsters.

The anchor was speechless.

You have to move forward.

But you have to retreat to live.

That’s right.

There is no more hope when they die.

A moment of despair.

Oh, no!

Rankers surrounded by monsters disappeared with a flash of light.

And they showed up in front of the crack brakes. The scene, which soon entered, was barely discovered by a camera that captured the moment.

Go, Kang In-ho users and rankers have entered the crack brake!

Of course I couldn’t be happy.

There’s a boss monster waiting in there that mankind shouldn’t be facing.
