Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 63

Episode 63
Jeobuk-
One by one, robed figures came out of the portal.
One man in red robes and fifty in black robes followed.
“Sseueupp… … .”
Red Robe took a deep breath.
The air of the Earth tickled his nostrils.
“You can breathe, but the smell is quite different. Very… very unpleasant.”
His face was revealed as he removed the hood of his red robe.
He was an elf.
Archbishop Carlton, deputy commander of the Battle Priests’ Corps under the direct command of the Great Temple.
He personally led a part of the priestly force under his command and came to Earth.
-You will go to Earth, find the ‘Naked Cave’, and spread terror on the land where the cave exists.
… by order of the Pope.
The abstract command to spread fear was simple in its implications.
To kill as many people as possible, as brutally as possible, in a short period of time.
So the meaning was to spread fear in the enemy’s camp.
Fear is the most effective means of paralyzing reason and destroying the will to fight.
The intention was to break the enemy’s mentality before going into full-scale war.
Immediately after Archbishop Carlton’s troops arrived.
Yeah-
Another portal opened.
From there, one red robed man and several black robed men walked out.
These are the priests of the Order of the Holy Relics.
Trez, the Deputy Commander of the Relics Management Group, lowered the hood of his robe and spoke to Carlton.
“Are you ready?”
“You are the one.”
“Then let’s each start doing our own work.”
The priests of the Holy Relics Association each took out a stake from their bosom.
It was a kind of detector that, when placed in various locations, had the ability to detect specific mana in the surrounding area.
The results detected in this way are transmitted to the receiver held by Archbishop Trez.
It was an item used to detect the energy of a magic sword that might be located somewhere in Korea.
Ssak!
After the relic management team dispersed to install detection stakes.
The battle priests also began to move towards the target point.
“Is this the place?”
I think it took about 30 minutes.
The battle priests arrived at their first destination, the cave of Nashin.
Inside the cave, about fifteen people were working.
They were an excavation team from the Cheonghwa Guild.
All the monsters in Nashin’s Cave have been cleared out, but the herbs and magic stones growing here and there have not yet been completely collected.
The excavation team members’ eyes widened when they saw the robes that had suddenly come in.
“hmm?”
“Who is it… …?”
The leader of the excavation team stepped forward and asked Carlton.
“Who are you?”
“I am the Battle Priest of the Great Temple. I am the Vice-Captain, Archbishop Carlton.”
“Well… First of all, you’re not human, are you?”
“Let’s stop talking now. The breath you’re exhaling is very unpleasant.”
“What?”
“It certainly seems that you have passed away. We came all the way here and you don’t feel anything. So, guide us. To where your leader is, to your base.”
“What is that… … .”
“I clearly told you to stop talking.”
Endless rudeness.
The excavation team leader felt his anger surge to the top of his head, but he forced himself to suppress his emotions.
And I thought.
What should I do with these unidentified entities that suddenly appeared before my eyes?
Fighting?
No, that was too dangerous.
Because it was a situation where we didn’t even know our opponent’s strength.
So you’re guiding me to the main Cheonghwa Guild?
No, that was also quite unsettling.
So there was only one thing I could do now.
“Hey, Director Kim, go to the Master and report this.”
First, send someone to the guild to report this matter and leave it to the higher-ups’ judgment.
The excavation team leader made the best decision he could at the time.
however.
“Don’t you know what ‘guide us’ means? Take us to your base camp, don’t you really know what that means?”
The elves didn’t think like the excavation team leader.
“We are under no obligation to follow your orders.”
“Have a conversation.”
“… … ?”
“I told you to stop.”
Crunch.
Things happened in an instant.
The sword light flashed.
The heads of the excavation team workers were rolling around on the floor.
The cut surface spurted blood, and headless bodies fell to the floor all at once.
Crunch.
The elven priests put their swords back in their sheaths.
A murder without any warning or foreshadowing.
This was a one-sided massacre.
“These crazy kids… … !”
Ssung!
The leader of the excavation team pulled out the sword he had on his belt.
But the moment the sword came out of its scabbard, the captain doubted his eyes.
Half of the blade is gone.
The severed blade whirled and sliced through the air, and at the same time, the captain felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.
Crunch.
Even the arm that was holding the sword was cut off and blown away.
“Kwaaaaak!”
The captain screamed and rolled on the floor.
Blood flowed ceaselessly through the gap between the hands that covered the cut section.
Immediately after the captain was completely rendered powerless.
The elves began to slaughter all the humans inside the cave.
The elves carried out the killings as if they were catching bugs.
Just as humans do not feel hatred or excitement when they catch flies, the elves also killed humans calmly without any thought or emotion.
It didn’t take long for the massacre to end.
Because the cleanup was completed before the excavation team leader died from excessive bleeding.
Choaaaah!
Carlton poured a healing potion on the captain’s wound.
As the bleeding stopped and disinfection began on the affected area, excruciating pain set in.
“Kkaaaah… … !”
“Get up and lead the way.”
“Oh, I see… … !”
So Carlton and his party headed to the headquarters of the Cheonghwa Guild.
To put new blood on the blade.
* * *
Wild shopping district.
Youngsoo was locked in his room, making something.
On Youngsoo’s workbench, there were various unknown powders, water, and a few tools scattered around.
And the result of mobilizing these was placed at the end of the workbench.
There were three steel balls about the size of baseballs.
“It’s finally finished, but… … .”
Yeongsu’s face, looking down at the iron ball, looked slightly pale.
It was evidence that quite a bit of effort had gone into creating this unidentified object.
“It’s not difficult to make it, but it takes so much mana to make it… … .”
But since I already made it, I had to test it.
Yeongsu took them and went out to the empty lot of the shopping district.
An open space that is also used as a free training ground for Undercover players.
Youngsoo called together the players who were training.
“What’s going on?”
“Come out, you’ll get hurt if you stay there.”
“… … ?”
Youngsoo took out one of the iron beads he had made earlier from his inventory.
And then he poured mana into the bead.
My father, who was watching from the side, asked with a curious look.
“What is that?”
“See for yourself.”
“yes?”
Youngsu threw the marble with all his might toward the empty lot.
A little later.
BANG!!
The iron ball exploded with a loud noise.
Flashes of light, billowing smoke, and the pungent smell of gunpowder wafted into my nostrils.
A large, deep crater remained where the explosion occurred.
An explosion of such magnitude that the vibrations of the ground can be felt through the soles of your feet.
Everyone except Youngsoo had the same expression as a trainee who had just seen a grenade explosion for the first time in his life.
Youngsoo said in a calm voice.
“It’s called a wall bomb.”
“Is that… something like a grenade?”
“Similar.”
“Well, but since the collapse of civilization, things like grenades and shells haven’t worked at all, right? So how did this… … .”
“This wasn’t made with modern technology, it was made with my skills.”
Wall bomb.
It was one of the few manufacturing skills that the Salvation class had.
Of course, there were many explosive skills that were more powerful than the wall bomb.
But the greatest advantage of the wall bomb was its versatility.
It was made for personal use, but players of other classes could also use it, and by changing the materials inside, you could create different types of explosions.
“Oh, so if we produce a ton of this, it will become a pretty powerful weapon, right?”
“First of all, I’m the only one who can make this. You can’t just slap it out. And second, it’s too hard to make a wall bomb shell.”
To make a wall bomb, you need a hollow iron ball, or bomb shell.
In the game, it was a material that could be commonly obtained from the blacksmith shop, but now it can only be made in small quantities at Kwak Gi-su’s workshop.
For these reasons, it was not possible to produce large quantities of wall-crash bombs.
Of course, there was only one reason why Youngsoo made the wall bomb.
Because it was an essential weapon in the war against the elves.
This is especially true in order to destroy the ‘Golden Ring’ of those who are difficult to deal with.
So, we haven’t seen any real movement from the elves yet, but for now, development is hurried…
“Master!!”
Someone ran into the empty lot and looked for Youngsu.
He was the staff member guarding the main gate.
“why?”
“The Master of Cheonghwa and the guild members have arrived!”
“Cheonghwa… …? No, I guess I can come. But why are you in such a hurry?”
“Those… are all just injured people. There are quite a few people who are seriously injured.”
“what?!”
At that moment, an ominous feeling flashed through my mind.
Yeongsu went straight to the main gate using his light sword.
What greeted Youngsu there were Jin Ga-ryeong and his guild members, covered in blood.
In total, there must be at least a thousand people.
For example, he said in a weary voice.
“Master Cheon Yeong-su… … .”
“What the hell is going on?”
“More than half of the Qinghua… died.”
“what……?”
“The elves… have invaded… … .”
Ssuk-
With those words, Ga-ryeong collapsed.
* * *
All of Qinghua’s people, including Ga-ryeong, were transferred to the treatment room.
Fortunately, none of the people who came this far died.
There were quite a few people who passed out and couldn’t wake up.
For example, he was one of those people who were sleeping like that.
In the end, Youngsoo heard the situation from another executive of Cheonghwa, not from Ga-ryeong.
“… Those elf bastards came to the headquarters, using our guild members who were guarding Nashin’s den as guides. And they demanded that we hand over the person who killed Nashin.”
“Did you say my name?”
“that…….”
“It doesn’t matter if I told you. I killed him.”
“… Yes, I said. But they didn’t stop.”
“It didn’t stop… … .”
“I started killing the people of Cheonghwa.”
A one-sided massacre occurred.
Just like in the days of the Nashin den, the elves killed people without any hesitation, as if they were trampling on insects.
“… They are monsters. Whether it be magic or martial arts, I could not dare to approach them… …! The scale, the power is on a whole other level!”
“… … .”
Youngsoo’s face hardened.
‘…The elves have already started moving?’
The guys started moving much faster than Youngsoo had expected.
‘I expected it would take a month until a full-scale war broke out… Did I catch Nashin early and change history?’
What was even more serious was the level of military action the elves displayed.
More than half of the Qinghua died.
The second largest guild in South Korea, Cheonghwa.
After Hongryeon was swept away, it was a group that actually had the highest level of troops.
Half of that group was killed.
Those guys who did such a terrible thing… … .
“Wait a minute, how many elves have invaded?”
“There were about 50 people.”
“… … !”
Youngsoo’s eyes grew wide.
A mere 50 elves killed nearly 1,000 people?
Of course, not all 1,000 people would have been players.
However, the skills of the players mixed within the 1,000 people would not have been easy.
Although each elf’s individual strength was outstanding, it was nearly impossible for 50 people to kill 1,000 people.
What on earth did these guys do… … .
‘Did these kids use the Golden Ring?’
The strongest spec booster possessed by the elves, the Golden Ring.
The Golden Ring is a potion made by condensing only the purest mana, and it amplifies all the power of the elf who ingests it several times over.
Therefore, if those 50 elves had consumed the Golden Ring, this result could have easily occurred.
‘No, but you’re already using the Golden Ring? An item that you can only get at the end of the war?’
Of course, you could only find out whether they really used the Golden Ring or not by going to the battle site.
But if you really did use the Golden Ring… … .
‘We will win this war unconditionally.’
