The Anti-Intellectualism Demon King’s World Invasion - Chapter 92
Only Noblemtl
Episode 92
The next morning, Bomi spoke to me as if testifying to her faith.
“As you said, humility is the right answer. You saved our lives again.”
On the iceberg, there were ice spikes more than a meter thick, sticking out horizontally as if they were going to pierce the surface of Mt. Halla.
How on earth is that ice made?
I’m sure it didn’t happen yesterday.
Then, people appeared on the iceberg.
This time, I saw people dressed properly.
Some people were wearing thick down parkas, fur coats, wool coats, etc., and some people were wearing thin padding and old cardigans.
The people wearing the scales and skin of the fish I saw yesterday were standing behind me.
Nurse Jang muttered at the sight.
“It’s as if class is divided according to the clothes you wear.”
As she said, people were grouped according to their level of clothing, and their mannerisms and attitudes toward each other were also different.
A man wearing a red long parka that looked luxurious at first glance stepped forward.
“Oh! XX rare!”
“Oh! It’s true.”
I asked in admiration of Jinman and Bomi’s voices.
“What is that?”
“It’s a luxury parka, bro!”
“Are there luxury brands in parkas?”
My question was answered by Bomi, who looked dumbfounded.
“Don’t you know the padding hierarchy? Sir. That XX Rare is the brand at the very top of the padding pyramid.”
“That’s called the X-Space Spine Breaker… … .”
I closed my mouth as I spoke.
I guess not, seeing as Bomi and Jinman are looking at each other as if they are in trouble.
At that moment, a man wearing a top-class parka waved at us.
“hello.”
With a young voice and a pale face, he looked like a first or second year high school student, or if you looked a little younger, like a third year middle school student.
I answered in a cold voice.
“There’s no way we’re safe with those sharp ice pillars targeting us.”
“Oh, that one. It’s just ice, but you’re old and scared. Haha. Okay. I’ll clean it up for you.”
The boy turned and pointed at the girl with gray hair.
“That old man is uncomfortable. Please remove the ice.”
As the gray-haired girl wearing an old, faded padded jacket with no brand moved her hand, the ice pillar facing us moved as if it were alive.
The sharp tips of the ice were pointed toward the sky.
“Hey! What happened?”
“The ice moved!”
Jinman and Nurse Jang were astonished by the amazing sight that looked like a movie CG scene.
On the other hand, Bomi and I made eye contact.
Bomi whispered to me.
“Sir, did that kid eat a white egg? How many times was it B-8? I think it said it could freeze water.”
“It’s not B-8, it’s D-8. That’s probably right. The documents say it was lost with the hatching basket.”
The White D-8 Egg was one of the eggs tested at the hatchery on Trash Island.
The documents listed the experimental eggs by color and named them using a combination of letters and numbers according to their abilities.
The boy said sarcastically.
“It’s not scary anymore, is it? What if adults are scared of things like this?”
“This kid! He’s talking nonsense with his open mouth.”
Jinman, who was furious, said, showing his teeth.
“Oh my. It’s scary. Why can’t adults admit their fears coolly? Instead, they get angry and try to hide it. Youngmi! Let me feel the fear with my body without making excuses.”
The boy said to the gray-haired girl.
British and American?
It’s a name I saw on a bathroom door stuck in an iceberg.
Are you the girl who was bullied?
A gray-haired girl named Yeongmi wiggled her fingers and moved her hand.
Then, in response to the movement of her hand, the sea water gushed out and turned into ice.
The ice stretched out like a rice cake and tried to stab Jinman with its sharp tip like a spear.
I quickly slammed my shield against the ice.
Then he took out his pistol and fired into the air.
bang!
“If you don’t stop right now, you guys could get shot.”
At my warning, XX Rare snapped his fingers and gave instructions to Youngmi.
As soon as Youngmi stopped her hand, the sea that had been froze and churned became calm.
“Wow! You’re a tough guy. You’ve got a gun. Can you give it to me?”
Jinman, who was momentarily startled by the ice pick rushing towards him, came to his senses.
“You little punk! Are you kidding me? You were playing with us, and now you want a gun?! I’ll blow your head off.”
Jin Man took out his M60 and tried to shoot.
When XX Rare saw that and snapped his fingers, Yeongmi moved her hand while wiggling it.
Then a wall of ice was built across the sea.
XX Rare said sarcastically.
“Haha. Just try to break through it.”
Most weapons won’t be able to penetrate that thick ice wall.
No matter how thick the wall was, he had the ultimate weapon of humanity that could turn everything into nothing, but it would be a waste to use it here.
I packed one more nuclear bomb on the Hallasan Mountain in case I needed it.
However, the ice, which could freely stretch and shape itself, had a strong defense, but it seemed that if it was attacked with determination, it could sink the Hallasan Lake.
Simply increasing the volume of ice in the water would cause it to puncture the bottom of the ship like a torpedo.
Should we really use this, humanity’s last, greatest weapon?
It’s a shame, but it’s not like it can’t be used if you want to use it, but the problem is the aftermath.
Since we had confirmed that there was virtually no radiation, it seemed like all we had to do was secure a distance that would allow us to get past the tsunami that would be generated by the explosion.
Roughly how far back should I go… … .
Unaware that the final weapon of humanity might fall on his head, XX Rare spoke with the confidence of youth.
“Hey! Mr. Ttaktak. Aren’t you short on food? We have a lot of frozen fish. Should I make some sashimi for you? Okay. I’ll trade the frozen fish for guns.”
“You, you’ve been making that clacking noise since a while ago. Even though my uncle doesn’t know the rank of padding, he’s a clean-cut guy with no gold teeth! Say clacking one more time, and I’ll knock out all the corn.”
Bomi shouted at XX Rare while throwing a tantrum.
I’m grateful that Bomi gets angry on my behalf, but I feel like I’m being dissed for some reason.
It’s corn, to use an old expression.
“Wow! You’re a tough girl. I like strong women. Do you want to go out with me?”
“This kid… wants to die?”
Bomi took out an arrow and loaded it into her bow.
I blocked Bomi’s bow with my hand and said.
“The sashimi is done, is there anything else?”
“What else? What could it be? How’s the kid?”
XX Rare grabbed the shoulder of the girl next to him and said.
“She’s pretty hot.”
“Suho, don’t joke around. I hate that.”
A girl who looked like she was in her second year of high school, but was wearing heavy makeup, spoke in a whiny manner.
The name of XX Rare is Suhogun.
“Ah! Sorry. The child doesn’t want to go. That won’t do. Our family respects each person’s decision. But the elders behind me can take whatever they want.”
“No. It’s okay. Even if there are people, they just waste food and poop.”
“Haha. That’s right, that’s right. That old man is funny. I like him. Old people are really useless.”
Suho put on another layer of gloves on his hands and took something out from behind his back.
It was a sword-shaped ice cube.
But the elaborate shape and the way the blade shone in the sunlight made it seem like it could easily cut a person.
“Oh my! My hands are freezing. They’re freezing. Can’t you at least make the handle of the sword a little warmer?”
Suho glared at Yeongmi once and then ran towards the people wearing scales and leather.
The adults, called elders, scattered and fled like herbivorous animals that had seen a predator.
Suho ran around here and there, but couldn’t catch anyone.
Then he shouted, perhaps because he was annoyed.
“Youngmi! What are you doing! Can’t you see that I’m sweating and jumping around on the ice right now?”
“But still, killing people… … .”
“Youngmi! We take care of you and play with you because you’re our friend, but if you keep doing this, it’s going to be difficult. What’s a friend? You’re supposed to help each other. They’re not your friends. Right? Kids.”
The children, wearing thick down parkas and wool coats, agreed with Suho’s words.
“Then. How tiring it is to hang out with loners. Don’t you know how much we sacrifice?”
“If you put me in a group, shouldn’t I do my job properly?”
“Youngmi! Listen to Suho oppa. Don’t keep making me feel bad.”
“Okay, I’m sorry. I’ll do it now.”
Yeongmi answered in a very timid voice and raised her hand.
As Youngmi’s hand wavered, an ice wall appeared in front of the fleeing people.
“Why are you trying to kill us, Ice Witch!”
“Save me! Please!”
“When I die, I will curse you to the end. Ice Witch!”
People screamed in front of the wall blocking their way.
Yeongmi apologized, not knowing what to do.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
A man slammed himself against a wall.
It seemed as if he was struggling because he couldn’t get over the high ice wall.
But at first glance, that thick wall looked like it wouldn’t budge at all.
Oh! But it’s cracked.
The man was short and skinny, and looked weak.
At that moment, Suho rushed in and slashed the man with his ice sword.
The man fell to the floor, bleeding.
Then the people who were screaming and trying to run away stopped.
It was as if, like a herbivore, a predator knew that once it had caught its own mate, it would not hunt any more.
As they predicted, Suho showed no interest in them anymore.
“Hey, there’s blood on your clothes.”
Suho frowned and wiped the blood on his luxury parka onto the dead man’s body.
It was a typical display of violence to lead the crowd.
It’s a similar principle to running away from home or bullying others to become the class bully.
After Suho finished wiping the blood, he shouted at me as if he was provoking me.
“Mister Ttaktak! Come here. Take a look, and if you like anything, trade it for a gun. What do you think?”
“Okay. Let’s go and see if there’s anything good.”
“Wow! Mr. Ttaktak is awesome. Even pirates were too scared to step onto the iceberg. You’re so brave.”
Suho clapped and liked my answer.
