How to Live Immortally Episode 331
331 People used to call me a swordsman
All Carlos can do in front of him is make stupid noises.
“You’ve been talking a lot lately about the underworld and the Numbers. Is that all you’ve experienced?”
“What the heck, what the heck… …!”
Carlos, who had collapsed to the ground, fired repeatedly as if he was going crazy, but the bullets that exploded scattered and only created sparks.
Crackle. Crackle.
At an unexpected moment, fireworks cast a dark shadow over Gaon’s face, which then disappears.
As if revealing the true identity of the messenger.
“Well, there’s only one thing I know. It’s that the weaker the dog, the louder it barks.”
Isn’t it the law of nature that the frog in the well, who thinks that UIFC is the measure of strength, cries loudly at the sight of the outside world?
The front line where the four major dark forces clash, the Martian Defense Force that overuses cutting-edge technology, the Ark that seeks to operate secretly behind the scenes of civilization, the Second with unknown intentions, and the Third that is hostile to humanity.
The shadows surrounding the world are so diverse and wide―
“It seems like you’re defining your own limits.”
Maybe he was having a seizure to affirm his past self. If he acknowledged the power of the shadows, he would have been pitiful for running away.
“No! I am real!”
“I guess I got it right because you’re getting so worked up.”
Although he is a champion that everyone supports, he is essentially a clown.
A race that only gains value by shouting out their achievements in front of everyone and being recognized for it.
I had to prove myself at every moment.
However, if you have truly reached the realm of knowledge, you will be valuable just by your existence, even if no one recognizes you.
This is called the only one in heaven and earth.
“What does it look like to you?”
“… … .”
Clank, clank. Carlos crouched down as if he was prostrating himself with his submachine gun, which had been emptying even its spare magazine and was spitting out an empty metallic sound.
But that wasn’t an admission of defeat.
Getting ready for the leap.
thud!
The moment the giant forgets gravity and flies freely, the pile bunker that pops out from its knees aims precisely at Gaon’s chest.
It was a flying knee kick with a perfect trajectory, as if it had been reproduced from a textbook―
“It’s cliché.”
Gaon returned to his original state in front of the index finger he held out.
Carlos’ head, which was also suspended in the air along with the file bunker, was also frozen.
Until the bullet was blocked, I thought Gaon had used the power of his special unit to create some kind of force field. But now that I’ve experienced it myself, I understand.
‘This is… … .’
It was a pure technique whose origins were unknown even to him, who had heard countless times that he was a genius.
thud.
That’s when the spiral that started from my knees tore through my entire body.
Forward and reverse. Caught between two different currents, Carlos was turned into scrap metal without even having time to scream, and crashed to the ground.
“Ugh.”
Only after being cornered was Carlos able to break free from his narrow-minded view.
Heaven and earth.
There was a sky above the sky. However, because that sky rarely showed itself on the ground, we were mistaken in thinking that there was nothing above it.
“You came forward proudly, so you must be prepared to die.”
“Wait a minute, I’m not a fighter. Like you said, I have no authority or responsibility. So let’s stop here… … .”
“How shabby. If you’re the champ, you should at least show that much spirit.”
He stretches out his arm towards Gaon who is approaching, but his body is so damaged that it has long since lost its function.
Gaon’s fist rises silently.
“Oh, my.”
Carlos was a man who would do anything to become a champion. He knew deep down that he would meet an unsatisfactory death one day, but at least he had thought of an acceptable ending.
It’s not like I’m a little kid who got attacked by a strange species while walking down the street.
In a way, it was self-inflicted.
I stuck my head in without even knowing it was a natural disaster.
“… … .”
As Carlos closed his eyes tightly and half-accepted reality, a relief pitcher appeared.
Whoosh―
The third person, who had appeared like a flash of lightning, kicked away the blow that was being struck as if it were nothing.
Almost at the same time that Gaon took a step back, the intruder stood in front of Carlos.
“Killing seems to be your daily routine.”
An old man standing under the moonlight scolds with a stern demeanor.
‘Unimolecular blade, protective gear, integrated goggles.’
The old man’s attire, with his hair tied in a ponytail and hanging down, was extremely practical.
It goes without saying that it would be even better if this moment, this time, had been targeted.
“You seem to know me, but who are you?”
“People used to call me ‘Geomchi’.”
No.78 Sword Chi, Christopher Hagen.
A genius who reached the top with just one sword. While other Numbers had built up their power, he was a strong man who reached the top with only his own abilities.
Since the big guy couldn’t have appeared without a reason, I checked the signs, but there was no particular reaction.
He is also said to be in a similar situation to Carlos.
“I guess you didn’t receive the certificate.”
“Even if that doesn’t happen, I thought I should settle things with you at least once.”
“I guess you know the basics of proxy warfare. But why did you interfere? Are you also employed by Chairman Blake?”
Christopher’s face contorts into a ghostly figure.
“Are you trying to ignore me? How dare you put Josef through that!”
The entire park is filled with the spirit of Noh Ho-seong, who has forgotten the passage of time. It is a spirit that can only be created through years of experience that have influenced the world.
For Christopher, Josef was the pride of the school and a role model for future generations. He was ready to hand over the name Numbers.
But unfortunately, the effort was in vain.
Because of the man in front of me.
“The one who killed my disciple is walking around, so shouldn’t I, as the teacher, pay tribute to his soul?”
“Was it a promise made in exchange for information on the real culprit? Who did you hear the truth about that day from?”
Only a few people knew that Gaon had dealt with Joseph. No, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Jin Geon was the only one. However, unless he had lost his mind, there was no way he would have revealed it.
In the end, it was said that the Miyauchi-gumi or the public prosecution office distributed it―there was currently insufficient evidence to make a deduction.
“You can ask that question in the afterlife. Hurry up and pick up your sword. I don’t want to hear any excuses about not being able to give it your all.”
“You’re talking like you’re so great, but if you look at the circumstances, your disciple was trying to deal with the special agent and got hit in the back. Strictly speaking, you should have targeted him, but since you chose an easy day, I guess the revenge you’re talking about is understandable.”
“Inom!”
As Christopher, who has been in a state of flux, swings his weapon, the rotating inductors and linear accelerators that make up his heart start to rotate at high speeds, creating artificial gravity.
Kookbang!
With the help of the slot and the center of gravity, the enhanced sword strike advances, carving deep scars into the ground.
Christopher’s swordsmanship, which was based on his emotions, was not only excellent, but the tip of his sword never missed Gaon.
The reason Christopher, who was ignorant of all martial arts, was able to display master-level prowess was all thanks to his special unit, ‘Sky High’.
Right now, at this very moment, six aircraft were analyzing the battlefield, creating a three-dimensional model of the two people’s movements and deriving the optimal order of attack and defense.
This is a device that Gaon, who dealt with Joseph, is also familiar with.
Of course, the method of dealing with it also came out a long time ago.
chuck.
When Gaon, who had been avoiding him all along, suddenly stopped, Christopher smiled in satisfaction and changed his attitude.
I have no doubt that there will be a hole in that heart.
But what the heck, something strange happened just before the blade touched the ground.
“Ugh.”
Christopher rolled around on the ground helplessly, pushed back by an unstoppable force. He managed to straighten his posture before he completely collapsed, but the sharp pain shooting through his chest did not go away.
It wasn’t a problem. The alloy frame was sinking and crushing the artificial organ.
Even if you try to find the cause, Sky High only spits out a message that it is a recurring error.
“The simulation that derives the optimal solution may seem perfect at first glance, but the process of getting there has a fatal flaw.”
Using computational techniques to get the best answer to a problem. The idea itself is brilliant. But what happens if you reverse the assumptions?
“Can you make a case against me when I do nothing?”
No.
If you don’t make a preemptive strike, you can’t set a post-strike. In other words, if there is no question, there is no answer.
That was the paradox that Christopher had just encountered.
“Isn’t that funny? Even if I give you the initiative, you can’t do whatever you want.”
“That can’t be true.”
Christopher was a man who denied and waved his attitude, but the evidence piling up on his body was only a thorough betrayal of his claim.
The punch fired before Sky High could even recognize it completely trampled Choro’s will.
Christopher, whose decades of research had been destroyed piece by piece, screamed and waited for an opportunity to fight back―
“Even if it’s useless.”
I had no choice but to kneel before the supernatural technique that brought out the secret of the second coming.
To turn the situation around, he needs to play with pure skill, but it is impossible for Christopher, who has relied on equipment so far, to show such a performance.
“Kuuuck.”
In the end, Christopher, who had vomited a bowl of blood, ended up howling like an animal. A martial art with a strange logic that was so absurd that he knew there was only one.
“… … Are you a martial arts master? Hehe, hehe. So, from the beginning, you judged that I wouldn’t be able to defeat you and said that.”
Christopher, who burst into laughter at the fact that his fame was nothing more than a substitute for a compass, opened his mouth quietly.
“Tell me. Who told me about you… .”
As a disheartened Christopher is about to reveal the truth, two bullets fly through Mandala’s realm.
A shooting that occurred without notice.
One foot lands between Christopher’s eyebrows, the other between Carlos’ nose.
Gaon, who was trying to gauge his opponent’s position with his crack thumb, could only click his tongue briefly.
It was only then that I realized that it was a long-range sniping attack, carried out from an estimated distance of 6 kilometers. It was a distance that could not be narrowed even if I ran at full speed.
within-
Wheein, wheein.
Without any way to respond, patrol drones swarm from all directions, and special forces descend from flying vehicles.
A siege formed in an instant.
The person in the lead shouts.
“Hands up! Hands up! Move or I’ll shoot! This is not a warning!”
Gaon put both arms on the back of his head, bent his knees, and sighed.
Two bloodied corpses in front of my eyes.
A man with clear signs of fighting.
Anyone could see that he was caught red-handed.
