Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 39

Episode 39
The cadets’ eyes widened.
Because Youngsoo was holding a magic sword in his hand.
The exact name is .
A sword that was once stuck in the center of the wild market.
And the culprit who turned the wild into a hellish labyrinth with his unique power.
However, it was an item that was selected after the KPA’s wild suppression and sealed in unicorn blood.
It was Yeongsu who came out holding such an item.
“Professor, that is… … .”
“Yes, it’s a demon sword.”
“I told you it was sealed because it was dangerous?!”
“Because the situation is more dangerous now.”
Yeongsu walked forward through the cadets, holding the magic sword.
“Ugh… … .”
“Ugh… … .”
The cadets felt the hairs on their bodies stand on end.
Even though I didn’t even touch the sword, it just passed me by from a distance, and the creepy feeling seeped into my bones.
The cadets were genuinely curious.
‘…How can the professor hold onto something like that and do it so calmly?!’
Of course the cadets didn’t know.
It’s not that Youngsoo is holding out against the Demon Sword, but rather that the Demon Sword is completely overwhelmed by Youngsoo.
Of course, Youngsoo had overwhelmed the Demon Sword, and leaving Nabaligo behind, the current situation where he had no choice but to pull out the Demon Sword was not good.
‘I didn’t plan on pulling this out now… I guess I can’t help it, I’ll have to change my plans later.’
According to the original plan, now was not the time to draw the magic sword.
Because the true purpose of the magic sword was different.
But since Hongryeon had taken out an extra power called a missile, there was no other way.
So now there is only one thing we need to worry about.
How much power should this magic sword exert, and for how long?
Youngsoo glanced down at his wristwatch.
‘… There’s not much time left.’
Youngsoo said.
“Woo Jun-young.”
“yes.”
“Do you remember when I said, ‘If you persevere, you win’?”
“yes.”
“You’ll find out why soon enough. There’s not much time left. And.”
“… … ?”
“Everyone, back away. As far back as you can.”
“Why… … .”
“There is nothing good about touching magic.”
Tsuzuzuzu-
An ominous aura began to rise from the blade of the Demon Sword.
The cadets who saw that quickly moved away from Youngsoo.
And Youngsu began to approach the southern legions.
Hongryeon was embarrassed.
Because some guy was approaching alone, biting all the player troops.
At that time, a player from Hongryeon’s side spoke.
“… Aim the missile again quickly.”
“yes?”
“That’s Cheon Yeong-su! We can’t let that monster run wild!!”
“yes!!”
The Southern Corps hastily aimed their missiles at the wild castle.
At that moment.
Shhh-
Once again, the sword of destruction flew in.
This time it was a long, sharp stab.
And what the tragedy was aiming for was-
Boom!
It was a missile vehicle.
Although it did not hit directly, it succeeded in overturning the vehicle.
‘For now, we won’t be able to use missiles for a while… … .’
Yeongsu swung his magic sword again.
This time, the disaster spreads out in a wide fan shape.
A tremendous shock wave erupted through Hongryeon’s camp.
An impact so severe that the road surface is peeled off.
A great confusion fell upon the legion.
“Whoaaah!”
“This is crazy… … !”
Youngsoo’s attacks did not stop there.
Yeongsu swung his magic sword once more, and once again something like a black wave covered Hongryeon.
Quagwagwagwa!!
“Ugh… … !”
“Hey, save me!”
Screams were heard everywhere, battle lines were broken, and casualties were heavy.
But the truly frightening thing about the Demon Sword wasn’t just its destructive power.
A special feature of the magic sword that most weapons do not have: mental contamination.
Those who were swept up in the sword’s slaughter began to gradually lose their mental strength, even if they did not suffer a fatal blow.
Fear, hallucinations, dizziness.
The madness that began to spread slowly began to consume the minds of the Hongryeon soldiers and players.
“Ugh… … .”
“Ugh… … .”
The Hongryeon people sat down, holding their heads.
The players held out a little longer, but it wasn’t like they weren’t suffering any mental damage.
In this way, the advance of the Southern Corps was temporarily and completely halted.
The problem was that Youngsoo wasn’t in good shape either.
“Hoo, hoo… … .”
Somehow, Youngsoo, like them, was not able to control his body properly.
Could it be due to the influence of magic?
No, in the first place, it was Youngsu who subdued the Demon Sword, so there was no way he could be influenced by magic.
This was simply because Youngsoo’s mana reserves were almost depleted.
This is because attacking with a magic sword requires an enormous amount of mana.
Of course, Youngsu’s physical strength itself, which was strengthened through KP absorption, was intact.
However, the ‘mana exhaustion shock’ that temporarily renders one incapable of action when mana is depleted cannot be avoided.
‘I just swung it a few times and my mana ran out… … .’
I knew that the Demon Sword was a monster that ate mana, but I didn’t know it was this bad.
“professor……!”
When they saw Youngsoo collapse from shock due to mana depletion, the cadets tried to run towards him.
Youngsoo raised his hand and stopped them.
“Don’t come near me, you’ll get mental contamination.”
“… … !”
So a brief lull arrived.
The Hongryeon side couldn’t move properly because of the mental damage, and Youngsu couldn’t move properly because his mana was running low.
Besides, the cadets could only watch from afar because of Youngsu’s orders.
A brief moment of peace came to the wild front yard.
But this was by no means a positive situation for the KPA.
One player from Hongryeon pointed this out precisely when he said:
“…you guys lost.”
“… … .”
That wasn’t a wrong statement.
“The mental damage we took? It will recover in a little while anyway. But it looks like you are in shock due to lack of mana, and the KPA’s remaining forces are woefully inadequate. And we have already pushed our way into your front yard.”
“… … .”
“You held out well, but you lost. And now… it’s time for you to pay the price for daring to attack Hongryeon.”
“Phehehe.”
Hongryeon’s player was taken aback by Yeongsu’s sudden laughter.
“… Are you laughing?”
“Do you think you know everything?”
“what?”
Youngsoo glanced down at his wristwatch.
“Those gentlemen who know everything are really good at raiding the garden and destroying half of the troops, aren’t they?”
“… I will definitely cut off your head and hang it on the street.”
“Who would say that?”
At that moment.
BANG!!
Even the western wall that had been holding out began to crumble.
This was because the gardeners had run out of the growth promoters they had prepared and could no longer repair the walls.
In this way, even the western side was breached, and the southern corps had pushed in all the way to the front yard, thrusting their guns into the air.
In addition, KPA’s greatest strength, Cheon Yeong-su, is incapacitated due to mana depletion shock.
And above all, the Southern Army Corps managed to even repair and restore the downed missile launch vehicle.
In this situation, no matter how hard the commander and others tried, there was no way to withstand the missiles and bullets that would soon pour down.
Shut-
The cadets, including Junyoung, gripped their weapons tightly again.
Because there was nothing else I could do.
And finally, the moment that no one in the wild wanted came.
“firing!”
“Fire!!”
All of Hongryeon’s soldiers pulled their triggers at the same time.
At the same time, the missile’s launch switch was pressed.
No matter how strong the wild players’ abilities were, and no matter how strong the wild walls were, they could not withstand a direct hit from a missile at close range.
The wild people all shut their eyes tightly, sensing death.
Finally, the missile’s launch switch was pulled.
and-
Tick.
Nothing happened.
* * *
A few days ago.
During the conversation with Youngsoo, Gapseok asked.
“What exactly is the mechanism by which the collapse of civilization occurs?”
“I don’t know either.”
Gapseok’s eyes narrowed.
“… The real collapse of civilization is coming, right?”
“Come on. I know what happens because of that.”
“But you don’t know the principle of why that happens?”
“I don’t know. I have an idea, but… … .”
“What is it?”
“I am guessing that this is a phenomenon where our civilization is being destroyed as another world’s civilization invades.”
“If it’s a civilization from another world… … .”
“Eldrunia, the world of the elves.”
“Oh, right, elf.”
“Well, my analysis is just a guess. So it’s not that important. What’s important is the phenomena that will result from the collapse of civilization.”
“They said that all tangible and intangible infrastructure such as electricity, water, gas, telecommunications, and the Internet were cut off.”
“Not only that, but all electronic devices, automobiles, airplanes, ships, and other means of transportation will also be stopped.”
“It means it’s stopped… … .”
“It’s a real stop. No matter what I do, it just won’t work. Even though the physical and mechanical structures are all intact, it’s as if the very concept of ‘function’ has disappeared.”
“Then things like guns, explosives, missiles… … .”
“Don’t stop. All heat weapons except cold weapons like knives and blunt weapons.”
… Gap-seok remembered the conversation he had with Yeong-su.
so-
Tick.
And the moment all the guns and missile launchers stopped working.
Gapseok could finally sense that the time had come.
That’s when civilization collapses.
Tick, tick, tick.
The Hongryeon soldiers pulled the trigger, and pulled it, and pulled it again.
But the gun didn’t move at all.
Degururur-
Even grenades that are thrown with the pin pulled out don’t explode and just roll along.
That wasn’t the end.
Push-
All vehicles, both armored and regular, were silent.
No matter how many times I pressed the ignition switch, the engines of the vehicles would not start.
And crucially, even Hongryeon’s trump card, the missile launcher, became inoperable.
At that moment, the Hongryeon civilian soldiers began to realize.
Guns, grenades, mortars, missiles.
That all of their weapons were disabled.
That is, all means by which ordinary people like themselves could resist the players before their eyes have disappeared.
Realization began to turn to fear, and panic began to spread among the civilian soldiers.
“Ugh… … .”
“Whoaaaa… … !”
The soldiers threw their rifles on the ground and started running away.
Now, guns were just like clubs.
And they knew very well what would happen if they rushed at the players in front of them with such a club.
“What are you doing now!! Aren’t you coming back?!”
The Hongryeon players tried to catch the fleeing soldiers while cursing them.
But compared to the regular soldiers, there were far fewer players, so there was little they could do.
debacle.
The Hongryeon legions, which had been so proud just a few minutes ago, began to scatter in an instant.
This was a huge blow to Hongryeon.
Because currently, about 80 percent of Hongryeon’s power in this battlefield was comprised of these ordinary troops.
In short, 80 percent of the power that Hongryeon possessed had collapsed.
And the wild people also saw this sight.
“what?”
“no way……!”
There was one thing that both those who had experienced the collapse of civilization and those who had not noticed.
Now is the moment to counterattack.
Youngsoo spoke to his cadets through a telegram.
‘I told you, if you hang in there, you’ll win.’
‘… … !’
The collapse of civilization.
Even this unidentified phenomenon was part of Youngsoo’s plan.
It’s about holding on and holding on until the collapse of civilization comes, and the moment comes when Hongryeon’s power is destroyed on its own.
And the operation worked.
Now all that’s left is-
‘It’s a counterattack.’
‘yes!’
Crunch, crunch!
The magician Woo Jun-young.
Yongkwonsa Park Bu-hyung.
Inspector Jang Do-su.
Heavy article Hong Jeong-hoo.
Paladin Jo Ha-seong.
Taoist priest Kim Myeong-cheol.
They all took up weapons in their hands.
Those who had been stuck in the wild and unable to do anything until now have finally jumped into the battlefield.
“Hit!”
“Take control!!”
They charged towards the collapsing Hongryeon with blade-like momentum.
The counterattack has begun.
