Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 68

Episode 68
rooftop.
Archbishop Carlton was discussing operations with his Chief of Staff.
The Chief of Staff reported on the progress of the operation so far.
“The massacre is proceeding smoothly. According to current reports from Area 4… … .”
“for a moment.”
Carlton raised his hand to stop the chief of staff from speaking.
“Archbishop… … ?”
“The vibration under my feet has changed.”
Carlton felt it.
That something was going wrong downstairs.
That intuition was not wrong.
Clank.
The rooftop door opened.
Behind the door stood a man.
It was Youngsoo.
Carlton looked Youngsoo’s body up and down as he spoke.
A body covered in blood and the strong smell of gunpowder.
“…the blood of my subordinates, my compatriots.”
“Your compatriots’ swords were stained with the blood of my compatriots. I did the same to them.”
“Did you kill them all?”
“Everything, without leaving anything out.”
“I see… … .”
Carlton nodded and gave his chief of staff instructions on a new operation.
“We are changing the operation. We will abandon the current stronghold-type massacre operation and move into a pure annihilation operation.”
“Understood, Archbishop.”
The chief of staff took something like a winged golf ball out of his bosom.
It is a flying golem used for messenger purposes.
It was an item used to convey information or operational details to other units.
The Chief of Staff recorded the contents of the ‘Operation Extermination’ ordered by Carlton into Golem.
Operation annihilation.
If Carlton’s previous strategy was to kill people at certain points and then retreat, from now on, he meant to kill everyone he encountered without exception.
Carlton looked at Youngsoo and said.
“That’s good. Thanks to your arrogance, things that could have lived a little longer ended up dying much sooner.”
“Well, maybe this will be solved if I just kill you.”
“It’s late.”
The Chief of Staff sent a flying golem into the sky.
A golem containing the contents of the annihilation operation.
The moment the golem arrives in another squad, the extermination operation begins.
More people are dying at a faster rate.
Whatever happens to Carlton and the Chief of Staff here now.
Wedge!
A flying golem that accelerates at terrifying speeds.
The Chief of Staff muttered to himself.
‘This is my special golem. Once it takes flight, it is impossible to shoot it down.’
Tiny size, terrifying acceleration, and strange movements that seem to defy fluid dynamics.
The Chief of Staff was confident that there was virtually no way to stop the golem’s flight.
Unless it’s an area-of-effect skill like Dragon Breath that completely destroys an entire area of space.
But there was one thing he didn’t know.
The fact is that there’s a crazy guy out there who’s trained with throwing weapons for over twenty years just to catch one of those flying golems.
Stop!
Yeongsu held an iron needle in each hand.
And then the skill was activated.
—-
[Skill] ‘Chain Throwing Shot’ activated.
—-
Shush!
Yeongsu fired two iron needles at the golem.
The Chief of Staff laughed inwardly at the sight.
‘What an idiot, with just a little spit… … .’
Kwajik!
It’s pierced.
‘What?!’
The flying golem that was flying high with the strategy plan crashed down.
A moment later, a crashing sound was heard from underneath the building.
The Chief of Staff’s face turned pale when he saw his ambitious plan shattered.
“Oh, how… … !”
“I’ve had such a hard time because of that damn golem.”
The days when I was trapped in a game.
Youngsoo has been swallowed by that flying golem more than once.
Because of its ability to transmit information to thousands of locations on the battlefield at high speed.
So, after much desperate effort, I was able to hone my throwing technique for the flying golem.
The essence of this throwing technique was to launch two iron needles with exquisite timing.
The first needle forces the golem to take evasive action, limiting its flight trajectory, and at that split second, the second needle pierces the golem.
It was a throwing technique so close to a miracle that I would never have dared practice it if it weren’t for someone like Youngsoo.
Anyway, this prevented the annihilation operation from being carried out.
All that’s left is to deal with those two elves in front of you.
Youngsoo took a step toward them.
The Chief of Staff’s eyes sparkled when he saw that.
‘Okay, just come!’
The reason why he is so proud even though the Golem of Conversion was destroyed.
The reason was planted in the floor of this rooftop.
Although it wasn’t visible from the outside, thousands of seeds were planted on the floor of this rooftop.
The seeds of a tree, also known as a mine tree.
If you apply some magic to this seed, plant it on the ground, and step on it… … .
‘Come on, explode!’
It’s going to explode.
To be exact, dozens of vines grow out as if bursting out, piercing or ensnaring anyone who steps on them.
And over those seeds, Youngsu’s footsteps stepped forward.
wickedness-
And nothing happened.
“… … !”
The Chief of Staff’s eyes wavered.
Youngsu clearly stepped on the seed.
I didn’t use any magic before stepping on it.
However, the seeds of the mine tree showed no reaction.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Yeongsu quickly crossed the minefield, muttering to himself.
‘You idiot, do you think I’ve fought you once or twice?’
Yeongsu had a gut feeling the moment he saw the Chief of Staff’s face.
That bastard must have turned this area into a minefield.
So, as soon as Youngsoo took a step, he activated a skill.
—-
[Skill] ‘Portrait Rain’ activated.
—-
Light skill, flying high in the grass.
A light-footed technique that makes your body light enough that even if you run on grass, the grass you step on won’t bend.
Because of this, the mine tree seeds couldn’t even detect Youngsu’s steps.
Watching Young-soo closing the distance in an instant, the Chief of Staff finally pulled out the staff he had been carrying on his back.
‘If it doesn’t explode, I’ll explode it!’
Thud!
The Chief of Staff slammed his staff on the ground, spreading mana.
The spread out mana woke up all the sleeping mine tree seeds at once.
Pubberbubung!
Thousands of vines and trees growing explosively toward the sky.
At that moment of fierce germination, Youngsoo placed his left fingertips on the blade of the twin swords he was holding.
The hand wearing the flammable gloves.
“It’s still amazing even when I look at it again.”
Cheeeeek!
Youngsoo scratched the blade with his gloved hand.
As if flicking a flint stone.
Hurrruk!
Then a fierce flame enveloped the blade.
“But even so, it’s just a tree.”
Crunch!!
Yeongsu began to cut down the growing trees with his flaming sword.
With the fire added to the already sharp swordsmanship, the trees were cut down in an instant.
Stand up! Stand up!
Youngsu advanced at a tremendous speed, cutting down the trees.
The speed was so terrifying that if it weren’t for the fire on the blade, others wouldn’t have been able to follow its trajectory with their eyes.
It was even faster than in the previous battle.
This was because his body had been further strengthened by the massive amount of KP he had stolen while killing Carlton’s men.
“That’s ridiculous… … !”
For the first time since coming to Earth, the Chief of Staff felt fear.
But he knew how to continue fighting even in fear.
Experience gained through nearly two hundred years of combat.
Even though his head was shaking with fear, his hands instinctively formed hand signs and cast a spell.
The magic of the wood, the baptism of the sleeper.
Dozens of sharp wooden spears were fired from the Chief of Staff’s sleeves toward the commander.
And at that moment, Youngsoo jumped out, pushing through the minefield bushes.
Youngsoo saw it.
The distance between him and the wooden spears flying towards him was less than a meter.
The Chief of Staff secretly cheered.
‘There’s absolutely no way to avoid it!’
Yeongsu rushes towards the wooden windows.
Wooden spears flying towards Yeongsu.
And the distance has narrowed to right in front of your nose.
The option of avoidance is blocked.
Besides, these wooden spears are dozens of times harder than mines.
There was no way to break or cut it.
That moment when you can’t help but be fatally injured, even if you don’t die.
The choice Youngsoo made was simply to break through.
Kagagagang!
The wooden spears hit Youngsoo squarely.
But nothing could leave a single scratch on Youngsoo’s body.
They all bounced off.
It was as if there was a transparent armor surrounding Youngsoo’s body.
“…oh my god.”
The Chief of Staff realized what this strange sight meant.
Because he was also a true priest.
“The power of… the naked… … .”
At that moment, all feelings of war and hostility completely disappeared from the Chief of Staff’s mind.
“The murderer… was Iza?!”
Youngsoo closed the distance between himself and the Chief of Staff and rushed in.
The chief of staff squeezed his eyes shut.
At that moment, anyone who looked at it could not help but think that Youngsoo’s sword would pierce the Chief of Staff.
Spock!
Youngsoo changed course sharply.
Towards the original target standing behind the Chief of Staff.
Archbishop Carlton, Vice-Captain of the Battle Priests’ Order.
From the beginning, Youngsoo’s goal was interest.
Fake was the one who rushed in as if he was going to stab the Chief of Staff.
After giving Carlton a moment of relief, he planned to stab him in the gap with his sword and subdue him.
And Youngsu’s sword finally pierced through one body.
Phew!
The knife went in properly.
However, it wasn’t the intended destination.
“Cough!”
The Chief of Staff spurted blood from his mouth and chest simultaneously.
The tip of the sword that had clearly been swinging at Carlton was at some point embedded in the Chief of Staff’s chest.
Youngsoo muttered in slight surprise.
“Look at this guy… … ?”
As he said that, Youngsoo looked at Carlton.
“Using your colleagues as meat shields?”
“It is better to have subordinates who have lost their will to fight.”
The moment when Youngsoo was about to stab Carlton.
Carlton dragged the Chief of Staff and used him as a shield to block the commander’s sword.
Tadah!
Youngsoo first distanced himself from Carlton.
The chief of staff flinched several times and then slumped down.
Carlton spoke to the dead Chief of Staff.
“I’ll tell your family that you fought bravely against the enemy and died in battle.”
Chul-chul.
As soon as he finished speaking, Carlton threw the chief of staff to a corner of the roof.
There was not a trace of mourning or sadness for his dead comrade in that attitude.
Youngsoo said.
“You still treat your colleagues like stones.”
“Do not underestimate the usefulness of stones. Soldiers sometimes lose their will to fight and choose to flee, but the cornerstones that support the temple will never run away.”
“I wonder how much longer you can last than a rock.”
“That’s good confidence. Well, if you’re going to wipe out my squad single-handedly, you should have that level of confidence.”
“But they’re all idiots. I wonder who the commander is.”
“… … .”
“One guy even died while peeing.”
“That’s a long story.”
Sling.
Carlton pulled out the longsword he had at his waist.
The side of the blade is extremely smooth and the outline is elegant and cool.
It was a famous sword that even a blind person could tell at a glance that it was a sword of great value.
And Youngsoo knew one more thing in addition to that.
Who is the original owner of that longsword?
wickedness-
The longsword’s blade flashed.
All that was visible for a moment was the glint of sunlight reflecting off the blade.
But the very next moment, the roof collapsed.
Quagwagwa!
The cement floor of the rooftop fell down, sliced like tofu.
A sword with a frighteningly sharp edge.
Carlton fired his sword skills without changing his expression, at a level that Bass could only use after eating the Golden Ring.
‘Did you fall?’
Carlton glanced down at the collapsed rooftop floor.
That moment.
Phew!
Chunks of cement that had been cut off and fell began to fly towards Carlton.
‘hmm?!’
Crunch!
Carlton was flustered, but he mercilessly cut down the chunks that flew towards him.
But I couldn’t cut all the other dozens of chunks.
And at that moment.
Tadot-
Something moved quickly between the still floating lumps of cement.
‘what?!’
Carlton doubted his eyes.
‘You’re saying you’re moving using the rocks thrown into the air as a stepping stone?!’
It happened in a split second.
Running across the air using floating chunks of cement as a stepping stone.
It was nearly impossible to follow such movements with one’s eyes.
Not only were the cement chunks blocking the view, but Youngsoo’s direction of movement changed several times in an instant.
And the result is-
“Got it.”
Youngsoo thrust the tip of his sword into Carlton’s back.
