-12 Volume 3

It was a great spectacle.

Amid the blue magic wave in the air, the magical light bursts dazzlingly over the barrier that flows like a waterfall.

However, Gwangpil-doo, who was spreading the shield, was not in the mood to appreciate the scene.

He was sweating profusely to stop the devastation that came one after another.

Gwangpildu clenched his teeth with a bloodline on his forehead.

'How can you be so strong!'

The destructive power enough to kill a 15-star monster at once was huge, even the aftermath.

It was understandable that Jung Daesik didn't try his best.

If he did his best, it would cause more damage than monsters inflict.

'If I had been hit directly by this attack, I would have disappeared without a trace...! It is a destructive force that overwhelms even a 7-star armored personnel carrier!'

I don't know if I can complete the 7-star weapon and evolve it to the goddess level.

For now, let alone confront Jung Daesik, he wouldn't be able to touch even a single hair.

It was then that Gwangpil-doo understood a little bit that people had rejected him and feared him so much.

In the eyes of others, the ability to destroy supernatural powers would have seemed as overwhelming and destructive as Jung Daesik's ability now. So he must have felt an instinctive fear.

That's how it felt to see Jung Daesik, who had the power of a god.

Gwangpil-doo realized how fortunate he was to claim to be the savior of the world.

If he had claimed himself to be a destroyer, the extinction of mankind would have been the same without the monster break.

After defeating Lapu, Jung Daesik obtained the items Lapu's Tongue and Sun's Eye.

Once he had dumped it in the subspace, Jung Daesik, with an unknown hunger, bought a piece of fairy bread and chewed on it.

He suddenly used up a large amount of mana, and he felt a little nauseous. In reality, the spent magical energy was quickly replenishing as if it had absorbed Lapu's life force, but that's how it felt.

Jung Daesik forgot one more energy bar and turned to Gwangpildo. He had his shield left unattended and stretched out on the floor with a ruler.

It looked like he was exhausted after using all his power to offset the remaining energy of the Demonic Spirit. Jung Daesik said, kicking his leg like that.

"Wake up, this is not the time to lie down like this."

"......"

Gwangpildu stood up and sat down in the booth and said.

"It's a huge destructive force."

Jung Daesik smiled bitterly.

"As you can see, it's not as good as it looks. The destructive power isn't enough to just kill the monsters."

"If a stronger monster appears, will you respond with stronger magic?"

"If a 16-star or 17-star appears, it will be so."

"Do you think there will be enough guys?"

"I should have said, the final war."

Gwangpildu got up from his seat. He looked closely at Jung Daesik's face, as if he sensed something in his words.

"It seems that there is a reason why you have been given such power. Judging from the way you say it, isn't that what you've been predicting for a long time?"

Jung Daesik shrugged his shoulders instead of answering.

Knowing that he had no intention of telling, Kwang Pil-doo did not bother to ask. he said instead.

"For now, that's it for me."

"what?"

"If you use more destructive power, I can't stop you. I need barding. I need to complete the 7-star armor."

Jung Daesik seemed to agree with what Kwang-pil-doo said.

"There is no guarantee that more monsters will not appear... Anyway, we must move now."

The two trudged out of the empty place.

At a point where traces of civilization could barely appear, they encountered the Fenrir troops.

They looked a little dismayed at what the two had done.

Even though he had developed his own skills, there seemed to be some shame about not being able to do anything in front of a 15-star monster.

In particular, in the case of Ki Chul-min, his expression was very bad. If Tyrbringer had been there, he, too, could have played a part.

However, it was as if the role had been taken away by Gwangpil-doo, and he looked full of remorse and dissatisfaction.

However, he did not show such feelings outwardly as he did before.

He returned the Delight Sword as if it wasn't mine when the madman appeared. Then he erased the expression from his face and welcomed Jung Daesik.

"You've worked hard. Really, it was a great sight."

The other members of the unit also nodded their heads and said one word at a time. Everyone was expressing their impressions that it was great, but a group of jeeps appeared from the other side.

The cars stopped at a reasonable distance, and soon several Awoken from there alighted.

He was probably wearing heavy armor and ran after hearing the news of Lapu's appearance.

A middle-aged man who appeared to be in charge of the dogs approached and spoke to them.

" Jung Daesik and... Fenrir troops?"

Jung Daesik stepped forward and spoke.

"Yes, but what about you?"

"I am the head of the old Ishtar raid, Kang Il. And over there..."

The man who revealed himself to be a load thing was chinking his back.

"New Project's chief engineering officer, Choi Beom-su, and A-class hunter, Kim Nam-joon... So we can say that we are a temporary coalition unit organized to kill monsters."

"Oh, yes. That's right."

"Because a huge guy who devours all of the fighters appeared, I was dealing with Cerberus in a swarm and rushed to run... I didn't know you were there."

“The 15-star monster was killed.”

"We also watched it from afar. Really, I can't put it into words. 15 stars?"

"I think so."

"Awesome. I know Chernobog is a 15-star. You really did defeat him."

"Yes. By the way, how are things going now?"

Jung Daesik's question was briefly explained by Kang Il.

“In essence, we have succeeded in defending Seoul.”

"okay?"

“It was thanks to you for killing Gula. The Titan raid, Choi Hee, retired hunters like us, and talented people who had stepped back from the front lines all went out and played an active role, so we defeated several major monsters that were trying to enter Seoul and crossed the main road in Seoul. You said MFP? You could install a device to block the access of monsters. Of course, mobs are still installing in the city, but that will be sorted out soon."

"Okay. What about the Comprehensive Task Force?"

"On the direction of the president, Gye Young-il, the vice president of the Constitutional Association, was appointed as the commander-in-chief, and he took over the operational command.

"Then where is the headquarters?"

"They said it was installed in Gwanghwamun Square. Currently, all raid commanders and C-level hunters in the vicinity of Seoul have been summoned to the headquarters. Of course, Jung Daesik, the all-in-one, must also go."

Jung Daesik nodded his head.

"Okay. I'll have to go to headquarters first."

"Yes, come with us. The troops will have to go to Seoul together."

With a distracted gaze, the load-bearer, who had spoken up to that point, looked at the leader Gwanggwang, who stood far behind his troopers.

"By the way, isn't that person a Gwangpildoo over there?"

"Yes that's right."

"Didn't you escape? I know that you lost the 7-star weapon. It doesn't seem like that, looking at how it is now."

"I got it back. I'm the one who returned the 7-star weapon.""Yes?"

"We'll talk more about it as we go."

Jung Daesik briefly explained the fact that in the car on the way to Seoul there is no need to worry about the gwangpildu.

Kang Il showed great reluctance to take a dangerous person with the ability to destroy supernatural powers to a headquarters infested with Awakenings.

However, Jung Daesik assured that whatever strategy he devised in the future, he would definitely need his skills.

On the one hand, he guarantees that the madman will never do anything stupid.

In any case, Jung Daesik had a record of holding a light lead twice, so he could be held accountable.

Hakgil agreed to go to the headquarters with Kwangpildu.

Soon, the vehicle entered Seoul.

* * *

Armed soldiers were strewn all around the MFPs installed in Seoul.

Most of the roads were closed and tanks were as common as any bus.

Jung Daesik felt skeptical at the sight. No matter how much MFP there is, it does nothing but block the approach of monsters.

I wondered how far it would work. When the situation begins, the lives of the soldiers or the equipment at a great cost will become mere pieces of tissue paper.

Of course, the soldiers weren't the only ones guarding it. Awakened people who had battled monsters in the suburbs of Seoul were returning one after another.

Awakened people were swarming around the defensive positions that the army had hurriedly established. However, because they had already waged a battle with the monsters, they were all tired or injured. It looked quite different from the hunters that are usually seen in front of the dungeon.

As I entered the city center lined with apartments and high-rise buildings, I saw ordinary citizens, all of them trembling with anxiety. They were moving over the monster corpses all over the place to the newly assigned shelter.

There were quite a few people walking around. There were many cars running on the road, and severe congestion was forming around the Han River Bridge.

No matter where I went, I had no choice but to stay in Seoul, so it was practically a meaningless move.

However, the situation is better for the citizens of Seoul, Kang Il explained.

"The only place where the defense succeeded is Seoul. The rest of the metropolitan cities are struggling. In particular, the cities in the inland are suffering so much that people are evacuating to the seashore, but even that road is full of monsters... .. It seems that the government is saying that it has abandoned areas other than Seoul. However, local-based raiders are stepping up and setting up shelters in safe places to help evacuation, but when is that? I don't know if it will go as far as I can. I heard that 10-star monsters are found very funny. There are also monsters that seem to exceed 10-star sometimes."

He sighed as Jung Daesik nodded his head as the load worked.

"What the world is going to be like..."

Befitting his age, he was one of the hunters who were active during the 1st Monster Break.

Like Cheol Woo, he wasn't that famous, but hunters with thick bones usually recognized his face.

At one time he was doomed to raids and even served in the League of the Awoken.

However, he was now retired, and due to the massive monster break, he had to grab a weapon and come out to the field again.

He said with a bitter expression.

"It's been about two years since I retired because I wanted to fight enough to fight. The house I was building in the countryside was about to be completed, so I was going to move there.
