The Anti-Intellectualism Demon King’s World Invasion - Chapter 76

Episode 76

“Hey! Mister!”

Bomi greeted me warmly, as if it had been a long time since she last saw me.

“Where are you guys going without waiting? Are you going to retreat?”

“No. I’m going to go save people.”

Bomi pointed to the snake that was swallowing people.

Jinman spoke with determination.

“I know we can’t do anything about that monster snake with our own power, but we can’t just sit back and watch people die like that. We’re going to attack the soldiers and create an escape route.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to tackle the root cause rather than resort to such stopgap measures?”

I said, gathering my gear.

“The source?”

In response to Jinman’s question, he pointed to the snake with a nod.

Bomi said with a bright smile.

“As expected! You’re MacGyver! You figured out how to deal with that monster snake!”

“Really?”

Only Jinman looked at me in surprise.

When I nodded, Bomi spoke proudly, like a child bragging about her father.

“Jinman Oppa! I told you. When you come back from somewhere, you can come up with solutions to problems that seem absolutely insoluble. Maybe your relationship problems will be solved if you go to counseling.”

“I respect you, brother. I will follow you to the end.”

Perhaps because of the mention of love problems, Jinman bowed at a 90-degree angle and shouted.

“Okay. Then does Jinman have a fear of heights?”

“No. I learned how to use a power crane to destroy a union in the past.”

“No, if you’re going to destroy the union, why did you learn power crane?”

Bomi looked at Jinman with an expression of incomprehension.

“I’m trying to get a fake job. Jongyeol hyung said he needed details, so I even got a power crane license. I actually drove it for a few months. Oh, and I did something terrible to this branch manager. The world was going to sink anyway. Why did I live so harshly? Ah~”

I smiled brightly as I patted Jinman’s shoulder, who let out a sigh full of regret and remorse.

“Oh! You operated a tower crane? That’s perfect.”

Jinman looked embarrassed at my happy appearance.

“Is it good?”

“Then. That guy’s chances of catching the Imoogi would have increased tenfold.”

“So, does that mean it was a good thing that I got my tower crane license?”

“Okay. You did very well.”

When I raised both hands and gave a thumbs up, Jinman smiled brightly as if he was about to cry.

Perhaps he had been going through a lot of emotional distress, but my compliments seemed to have relieved the pressure he had been feeling.

It may have been an unexpected healing for Jinman, but it was also a lucky card given by heaven to me.

I found out the weakness of the Imoogi, but the Imoogi was so huge and powerful.

To access the guy’s weak point, you need to be at a certain height, and the only thing that can reach that height is the tower crane erected next to Namsan Tower.

Even if you climb up the tower crane, you can’t approach it right away; the guy has to come close to you.

I wonder if he will come?

But if we could control the tower crane.

Although tower cranes do not have legs, they can rotate and their arms can extend and rise higher.

And a hook like a spear was attached to a long rope.

If you take advantage of these movement radius and conditions, you may be able to reach the weak point of the Imoogi.

After I packed my equipment, I headed toward the tower crane without delay.

Of course, Jinman and Bomi followed me.

Smoke was rising from the Namsan Tower observation deck next to the tower crane.

“What happened to the Namsan Tower Observatory?”

“Did you know that the Navy SEALs infiltrated Namsan Tower?”

When I nodded, Jinman answered.

“They shot a mortar to catch the monster snake. The monster snake got angry and burned itself.”

As expected, guns and mortars are unable to penetrate the snake’s skin.

Still, the golden shield might be able to pierce the snake’s skin.

But even so, it would only slightly damage the giant snake’s skin.

Unless you hit the heart directly through its weak point, any attack will ultimately be ineffective.

Isn’t this just going to make you angry if you mess with it for no reason?

No, I think it’s okay to get angry.

If you get angry and act aggressively, an opening will appear, and you will look for that opening.

I climbed the tower crane, planning the operation in my head.

The ladder continued on endlessly, almost reaching to the sky.

Jinman climbed up with light steps as if he was used to it, but Bomi struggled as if she was climbing Mount Everest.

“Ah! I think I’m getting acrophobia again. When I go out with you, it feels like we’re always going up.”

“But doesn’t that solve the problem?”

“That’s true.”

Although Jin Man-i, who moved the tower crane, was important, Bomi was also a key player in this operation.

I reached out and took Bomi’s luggage.

Bomi’s load was quite large and heavy, including a large longbow, long arrows, and hooked arrows.

Jinman was carrying other equipment, such as ropes.

Only Jin, who was climbing up from above, stopped.

“Hey! Our unit is approaching.”

“where?”

A group of people were seen moving in the direction Jinman pointed.

Looking down from above, the movement of people was visible at a glance, as if looking at a war plan.

The people leading the unit at the very front appeared to be Captain Kim and Commissioner Son.

“Sir, did Hyunwoo’s father fail to convey the order to stop?”

“It’s not like that’s different from the operational route. Just like you, he couldn’t stand seeing people being eaten by the Imoogi.”

“I understand your feelings. But if you keep doing that, won’t you end up getting eaten by the snake?”

Jinman said in a worried voice.

“Let’s go up quickly so that doesn’t happen.”

“yes.”

Jinman picked up the pace and Bomi followed along diligently.

The cockpit was smaller than I thought.

As soon as three people entered, it was full.

While Jinman was checking the joystick, Bomi and I finished setting up the equipment.

“Then shall we get to work now?”

“Yes, sir!”

I put on the safety rope and got out of the cockpit.

Because it was high up, the wind was strong.

At this point, it seemed difficult to even maintain a posture.

But Bomi was a pro.

I got into a kneeling position, braced myself, and pulled the string.

The arrows loaded in the protest were not ordinary arrows.

A rope was hanging from the end of a hook-shaped tip.

It was an arrow for hanging rope.

It was an object made to connect ropes between apartment buildings.

Phishing!

The hook arrow flew into the tower crane next door.

After making sure the hook was firmly attached to the tower crane, I pulled the rope and secured it to our jib.

“30 degrees to the left!”

At my shout, Jinman rotated the tower crane toward Namsan Tower.

Again, Bomi shot a hooked arrow at Namsan Tower.

While we were making a spider web with ropes between the tower cranes and Namsan Tower, Captain Kim began his attack.

The unit was divided into two and a diversionary operation was used.

One side attacked the army driving the people, while the other side attacked the Imugi.

The raiding party fought a fierce gun battle with the military and pushed their way through, freeing those captured near the stage.

On the other hand, the Imoogi strike force only suffered massive damage.

I tried shooting and throwing grenades, but I couldn’t touch even a single finger of the Imoogi.

Rather, the result I was worried about came out.

The enraged snake carried out a brutal killing spree.

The snake would trample people by slamming its huge body down, and it would open its mouth wide and swallow people as they came into its path.

As the snake ate more people, its beard, horns, and snout shrank.

On the other hand, the neck area seemed to swell up like a cobra.

The dying man had warned that the snake would eat people to gain promotion.

But if you eat a human, you will turn into a monster, not to mention be promoted.

The governor seemed to be turning into a real snake monster.

White smoke rose from the snake’s nostrils.

The people and troops noticed that the snake was about to shoot flames.

“Run away!”

“Retreat!”

As expected, when the snake opened its mouth, flames poured out.

The intense flames burned the fleeing people.

“Take it!”

Black smoke rose from the mouth of the snake that had just fired a blast of flame, along with a sound similar to a burp.

“Hmm. I guess I ate too quickly. But don’t worry, you rebels. There’s still room for you to eat. Hehe.”

The snake flicked its forked tongue and tried to eat people again.

The sacrifice was too great.

I hadn’t set up the rope perfectly, but I couldn’t wait any longer.

He shouted at Jinman.

“High-speed full rotation!”

Squeak!

There was a scraping sound as the crane rotated rapidly.

Jinman dismantled the joystick and dismantled the safety speed limiter.

That’s why it was more than twice as fast as a normal crane.

“Hoisting down!”

The hoist was released from the trolley at the far end of the crane runway and the hook was lowered.

The hook began to experience centrifugal force from the rotating crane.

The hoist tilted and rose upward.

I was attaching a rope to a hook installed at the end of the hoist.

As the hoist tilted, I tilted and floated as if I was on a swing at an amusement park.

As the crane made a full rotation, my head started spinning.

It was like being in a centrifuge.

I felt like I was losing my mind.

I gritted my teeth.

When I tasted blood in my mouth, I came to my senses.

Through my narrowed field of vision, I could see the back of the snake getting closer.

I untied the rope.

Then it got so close that it almost touched the snake’s back.

Right now!

I stretched out my arm holding the shield.

The shield passed over the snake’s back, scratching it.

My arm vibrated as if I was banging my shield against a rock.

I felt like I was going to drop the shield, but I gritted my teeth again and held on.

It was a short time, less than a minute, but it was so hard that it felt like an eternity to me.

“Ahh!”

As I was about to escape from the snake’s back, I heard a scream.
