#Episode 253, Birth of a Mutant

As the number of groups with low-orbit satellite dishes increased, communications in many areas were resumed.

Thanks to this, organic cooperation between combat echelons became possible,

Areas that quickly stabilized also emerged.

No matter how nationwide a disaster is, the frequency and severity cannot be uniform.

The place, which had been relatively quiet from the start thanks to heavenly luck, has already regained its residential areas and has become a base for non-combat relief organizations.

However, warriors who could fight had to advance continuously in response to requests for rescue and support.

Approximately 500,000 foreign hunters and armed forces arrived within 48 hours after the disaster began, but there were physical limitations in covering all areas.

I also needed a break,

Because they had to travel to the new target on foot, it was expected that it would be a difficult process until complete eradication.

Meanwhile, Maru was freely moving around the battlefield using his quick mobility as a weapon.

Wow!

In fact, I was extremely excited.

This is because he received enthusiastic cheers wherever he appeared on screen as a dragon that helps humans.

I knew that a long time ago, ancestral dragons had a history of interacting with humans, promising to be the guardian dragons of the kingdom.

I had no idea that it was something that gave me such positive excitement.

Coo!

Maru landed, crushing the monsters, and swept his huge lower jaw to the side.

Kieeee!

Hot!

Quad Deuk! Quick!

As I chewed the live meat in my mouth, the rich juice spread across my tongue.

It had a lot of flavor due to the melted Maggi.

‘It’s so delicious…’ . I want to swallow it… .’

But I couldn’t do it.

Maru’s big eyes moved around, becoming aware of the drone in the sky.

Munching. Hehe!

‘… Because Seongyoon might see it later.’

thud! thud! thud!

Maru decided to be satisfied with blood and meat juice and focused only on slaughter.

Kwagak!

‘… … !’

Maru, who was in the middle of repeating ‘chew and spit’, frowned as if he had chewed a stone.

Then he suddenly raised his long neck and looked at one place.

‘This… .’

The discomfort Maru felt… , No, the ominousness was related to hearing.

“─────!”

A ferocious scream was heard again from somewhere far away.

It was a declaration that he would rule as the leader, and a call to arms for all living monsters.

It was my first time hearing Marudo in person, but it remained in my memory from my predecessor.

Cough?

Kieee─.

Grrr.

The monsters that stopped suddenly turned towards the sound.

“They’re running away!”

“Long live the dragon!”

“Hail!”

“Waaah!”

The troops on the battlefield, who had been struggling until Maru arrived, cheered in unison.

Spear swords and magic poured out in pursuit of the monster army leaving the battlefield.

‘Huh? That’s not it… .’

Monsters don’t run away,

I was simply guided by an order that I could not resist.

“─────!”

Maru did not understand that the continuous screaming was not a human hearing frequency.

‘ah… , uh, I have to go anyway.’

Flap!

It flew up in a hurry.

The origin of that ominous roar was close to the location of Seongjun’s family.

***

Kugugoong! Squeak! Kwakagak!

If we were to rank those who fought for the longest amount of time without resting, Casas would definitely rank first.

He had pride in being the second-in-command of Han Seong-jun’s division.

This was because he felt a sense of responsibility as the head of a death-defying unit that now numbered thousands of soldiers.

Casas, covered in colorful blood, discovered a pack of wolves that had stopped and blocked his path.

He shouted, wiping the blood off his blade.

“Hey, Dong-gu! “If you rest there, we won’t be able to move forward!”

These guys can understand most things, but… ,

“… … .”

They were the chairman’s pet wolves, pricking their ears and staring blankly into the distance.

‘Tsk… , Is this really shit?’

Sometimes I felt that Dong-gu recognized me as lower in rank.

“Hey you bastards! Get out of the way… , uh?”

at that time,

The monsters at the front turned around, looking at the same place as the Dong-gu guys.

“… … !”

The rankers who formed the vanguard group were in an uproar.

“what? Those bastards… “You’re running away?”

“W-what is it? Hehe, I’m embarrassed.”

In all the tedious battles they have fought so far – they have never retreated first or run away.

“… Anyway, isn’t it a good thing?”

“Iknow, right. Well, it’s not that fast… Let’s keep playing like this.”

“Let’s do that.”

“iced coffee! I think I can cut down more if I spread out the wire and chase it. “Would you be willing to fight against those who stand out?”

Casas raised one hand and interrupted the rankers’ conversation.

“no… wait for a sec.”

“… … ?”

The entire vanguard echelon paid attention to Casas, but the next words did not immediately follow.

His eyes were focused on the wolf monsters.

“Krrr… .”

“Kkkkkkkkkk!”

“Wok wok! “Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”

“Wokkunkergung wokwokwow, wokkunker!”

Dong-gu started growling fiercely, and his pups started barking in excitement.

“Why are they like that again? “Are you crazy?”

“They say a dog takes after its owner… .”

“Phew! “Who was that seriously muttering just now?”

As Casas remained silent, chatter soon began to flow.

Barking that definitely doesn’t look normal.

From a human perspective, it was a reaction that seemed to start a game.

‘perhaps… .’

Casas felt a little cheap.

Even though I was drenched in sweat, a few bits of chicken meat stood out.

A thought crossed my mind that it might be an animal’s intuition that senses earthquakes in advance.

I wonder if another disaster will befall those who are already in the midst of a disaster… .

“Awwwwwwwwwwww—!”

The moment you see Dong-gu making eye contact with you and letting out a long howl,

Casas sensed danger.

I only saw him a few times on my way to and from the farm, but I had no time to communicate with Dong-gu.

The look in his eyes a moment ago clearly told me to call the chairman.

Casas looked around the lead group and announced his decision.

“atmosphere. “I don’t chase them.”

Most people looked like they didn’t understand, but

The charisma Casas had built up until now did not allow for counterargument.

“… … .”

Casas immediately tapped his watch and connected to the temporary disaster headquarters’ contact network.

And he left a message looking for Han Seong-jun at the place that monitors video information from all cameras and relays communication between combat units.

Blake waited until Casas took his hand off the watch and then asked.

“then… “Are we going to rest like this?”

Although he only used the honorific (Sir) as a courtesy to the leader, he was a long-time close friend of Casas.

He was also a man ranked 85th in the world as of the 1932-33 season.

“I don’t know… . “For now, we wait for a hero to contact us.”

“… “Can I ask why you’re acting like this all of a sudden?”

“I don’t know that either. just… , I don’t feel good.”

“… … .”

As expected, he didn’t hear anything convincing, but Blake, who had experienced Casas for a long time, trusted his ‘feeling’.

The reason Casas gained the full trust of the Queen of Spain was not simply because of his military power, but because of his prudent nature and judgment that made few mistakes.

‘But that doesn’t mean Casas is particularly smart.’

If it is not Jimo, then what is it?

It’s just a feeling. Maybe luck.

That too was a skill.

Blake shouted with magic on behalf of his friend.

“Wait! “Everyone, take a break, and don’t disarm or leave the formation!”

A large force of more than 4,000 people fell to the ground like a wave, continuing the clanking sound of metal.

From the moment Casas touched the watch, Dong-gu quietly sat with his butt pressed against his chest.

Then the pups also stopped barking.

However, everyone could not take their eyes off the direction they first gazed at.

It was when the retreating monsters became distant like a wavering horizon.

Casas, who had been watching Dong-gu’s energetic appearance while waiting for Han Seong-jun to contact him, stood up together with him when he saw him jump up and growl again.

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”

“Wokwolwoar wokkung!”

The luminescence that started after a while made the heads of the people around turn to follow the wolf’s gaze.

“… … !”

“Huh… !”

“That… , What is that?”

The eyes of all members of the death squad were focused on the gigantic being that appeared at the end of the horizon.

An upright giant with four arms… .

At the ends of the four arms, red auras that looked like they were blooming above the fingernails extended for dozens of meters.

A breath of shock and fear spread throughout the death squad.

“Well, that’s level 1… “Isn’t it a special express?”

“Fuck… . “There has to be something like that to classify it.”

“I’ve even done level 1 raids… “It’s not like that.”

There were differences in the way people looked and measured depending on the level, but

Everyone could see its protruding size and enormous magical energy.

“Well, with a force as strong as ours, we can do anything, right?”

“… … .”

Even though he belonged to an army of thousands, there was no one who could confidently say the odds of victory.

Casas shouted, clutching the hilt of his sword tightly.

“Ready for battle—!”

The dazed crew reacted a little late.

Casas urged a desperate team.

“Don’t be scared! Hang in there! “A hero will appear soon!”

The members each adjusted their weapons and repeated the name of their trustworthy savior.

“one… .”

“Okay, . A hero would handle it somehow… .”

“one!”

The name that was repeated quietly became a talisman-like slogan and spread throughout the entire death squad.

“one! one! one! one! one!”

Demons and monsters have different origins, having been created from the beginning to play the role of master and servant, respectively.

It is intelligence and ignorance,

A clear distinction between dominance and submission has been maintained for eons.

But sometimes something happens that breaks providence-

Learn how to think for yourself,

It was the birth of a monster that achieved power beyond most high-ranking demons.

A mutant blessed by a demon god.

As the king of lowly things,

Reigns on earth as a corps commander,

A being who may one day form a family and ascend to the demon world.

Of course, even in the history of eternity, such incidents can only be counted on one hand.

Mutants that were worn out on the ground occasionally appeared.

Of course, the people who encountered the mutation were in unknown circumstances.

Thump thump thump thump.

Thump thump thump thump.

Thump thump thump thump!

The earnest and passionate chants of the death squad gradually faded away as they were pushed out by the frightening sound of the ground.

gulp… ,

All that remains is thousands of swallows that only you can hear.

Thump thump thump thump!

at that time.

Flap!

Kwaaaa!

A welcome sound was heard from above the heads of the pale, breathless death squad.

A being that could not easily be recognized as an ‘ally’ if it had not participated in this battle.

The death squad let out a shout of relief at the appearance of a blue dragon gliding with the momentum to split the ground.

“Wow!”

“I survived!”

“Dragon! Dragon! Dragon!”

“Fuck you, I will kill all the bastards who persecute reptiles from now on.”

Thump thump thump thump!

Wedge!

The dragon lunged at the giant monster, which had already advanced several hundred meters in front, at the same speed as it was slashing at an angle, emitting blue rays.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

“100 million!”

“… … !”

“Oh, no!”

In just one collision, one of the dragon’s wings was cut off.

Coogung!

As the dragon fell to the ground, the brains of those watching froze.
