Episode 167

Should I make a new clan?

Baek Sa-jun said so confidently.

But for now, there was no way to deal with Le Wicken. How could he fight a dragon that was in the sky so high that he couldn’t even reach it?

That’s why he chose.

“Run away!”

It was an escape.

Baek Sa-jun ran down the road with the undead, breaking through the enemies blocking his way.

Le Wicken pursued him doggedly.

To be exact, only Baek Sa-jun was tracked.

– Kwaaaaang!

“That crazy dragon!”

It was literal.

He didn’t care about the hunters, the safe zone, or even the earth spirits; he only targeted Baek Sa-jun.

Because the commander ordered so.

[Baek Sa-jun, kill that necromancer. You can ignore the other enemies. He is the top priority.]

LeWicken faithfully followed the order.

A large number of magic and shells covered the ground. It was so large that Baek Sa-jun could not avoid it.

All I could do was dodge the attacks.

‘Damn, how am I going to avoid all this!’

What could not be avoided had to be prevented.

A barrage of gunfire engulfed Baek Sa-jun’s surroundings. The undead summoned by Baek Sa-jun and the mutants he controlled were instantly destroyed as they were engulfed in the barrage.

[Ah, no! You have to get out of the attack range… …!]

[Ahhhhhh!]

Even the legionnaires are there.

Baek Sa-jun deliberately chose a route that would take him through a densely populated area, so that he would also fall under the gunfire.

A significant number of legionnaires were destroyed.

The same was true of Baek Sa-jun’s upper body.

– Card! Crunch!

“Fuck, this damn thing… … !”

Baek Sa-jun’s defensive barrier had been broken for a long time.

was not enough to withstand the continued attacks. The shield had already been broken, and all that remained was .

Special Effect: The Monstrous Carapace creates a carapace that acts as a defensive shield for the Hunter.

“shit!”

[Kuaaaaaaah!]

And that shell is now broken.

Baek Sa-jun’s body was exposed to the blast as his upper body was destroyed due to the enormous impact.

-Whoooosh!

“Ugh!”

His left arm and leg were burned by the bullets, and shrapnel from the shells penetrated his entire body.

Baek Sa-jun’s body floated up in the air due to the great shock. The skeleton grabbed him urgently.

“Cough! Skeleton, keep running!”

– Hurry up!

The skeleton kicked the ground without hesitation.

Baek Sa-jun was also in a state of disarray, but his skeleton was completely damaged. This was because he had used his own body to protect Baek Sa-jun from Le Wicken’s attacks.

But now the destination is not far away.

“excuse me!”

Baek Sa-jun pointed to the building over there.

A closed school surrounded by mutants. Beyond it, a shield could be seen dimly spread out.

They recognized the presence of the skeleton.

– Ugh… … !

The skeleton’s arm holding the sword trembled.

A tremendous amount of power gathered in the guy’s arm. The skeleton could not hold back the gathered power and unleashed it.

– Kwarrrrrr!

A shockwave erupted from the skeleton’s sword.

A shockwave shot forward as the ground split open, engulfing the mutants surrounding the safe zone.

Their bodies were torn to pieces like paper.

“Should I say that it was worth getting hit so many times?”

– Bam!

Skeleton Race Skill, .

A skill that builds up stacks every time you are attacked, and when the stack reaches its maximum, it creates a powerful shockwave. The power is also strong because of the conditions attached.

As the mutants died, a path opened up for a moment.

Baek Sa-jun and the skeleton did not miss that gap.

[Kaaaaaaah!]

“Here it comes again! Skeleton, run!”

The barrage of fire poured down again, targeting those two.

Baek Sa-jun and the skeleton ran desperately, barely making it to the safe zone before the gunfire reached them.

– Whoosh whoosh!

– Kkwadkku!

Saturation, including Breath, covered the shield.

The shield shook precariously, and several layers of the shield were destroyed. However, it was not completely destroyed. This was because the shield’s strength had been strengthened.

“Hoooo… … .”

– All, all right… … .

Baek Sa-jun sat down with a thud.

As I entered the safe zone, I felt the wounds I had all over my body slowly and naturally healing.

And the fact that the morale, which had been almost depleted, was quickly recovering was also an effect of the safe zone.

‘I didn’t expect this and take people out.’

The place where Baek Sa-jun is is an abandoned safe zone.

Places that were abandoned in order to maximize the buffs of special effects by crowding people into some safe zone.

Among them, there were safe zones.

This was one of them.

“Should I call this a blessing?”

The commander also knew that there was no one in the abandoned safe zone. He thought it was impossible to hide it, so he moved it, prepared to be caught by them.

The Legion saw no need to attack the abandoned safe zone and simply left it alone.

So, they only attacked mutants that didn’t know the situation, but they weren’t destroyed because their numbers were small.

That was a great help to Baek Sa-jun.

[Krrrrrr… … .]

“Ha, a ruined baby.”

The problem is, we don’t know how long this will last.

In the high sky, Lewicken was generating magic. Looking closely, I could see his chest emitting light and making a loud noise.

‘Even hatchlings are dragons… … .’

Even though we continue to pour out this amount of saturation, there are no signs of our horsepower being depleted.

The hatchling’s corpse inside LeWicken, because its heart endlessly produces magical power.

And what that means is.

– Hwaruk! Kwaaaaang!

‘This place won’t last long either.’

Black breath covered the safe zone.

Half of the multi-layered defensive barrier was instantly destroyed by the effect of .

And then the magic and lasers follow.

‘The firepower has become stronger.’

The breath, magic, and lasers it emits are all stronger than when it first attacked Baek Sa-jun.

The power was drawn to destroy the shield.

There, something like a barrier was visible around the area, perhaps to prevent Baek Sa-jun from escaping.

– Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

“I know!”

The shield wavered precariously.

It looks like it could break at any moment. Even with the various special effects and the increased strength up to the level of , it still can’t hold up properly.

‘It was a miracle that it was stopped just a little while ago.’

Baek Sa-jun swallowed his breath.

His wounds and stamina had somewhat recovered. He created corpses in the Desert of Death and summoned golems to protect him.

The skeleton also re-awakened the .

“How long can you hold out?”

How much longer do I have to hold out?

Baek Sa-jun raised his head. At that moment, he saw a red fog approaching from beyond.

The fog that entered the safe zone quickly took shape. I wondered what it was, and it turned out to be Iria’s followers.

A vampire with wounds all over his body.

[5 minutes later, reached… … .]

The vampire left those words behind and disappeared.

Unable to withstand the injury, he perished. However, the last words he left behind were useful.

“Five minutes, you say?”

Baek Sa-jun committed fraud.

A wall of command covered the surrounding area. A skeleton stood guard in front of him, holding a shield that had been abandoned on the ground.

“We have no choice but to try.”

There was no other way anyway.

***

The roar of Le Wicken echoed throughout Daejeon.

What followed was a strong earthquake-like shaking. The ground, the buildings, everything shook.

“Ugh, crazy… … .”

It was a vibration that occurred when LeWicken attacked the safe zone where Baek Sa-jun was.

That meant that they were launching a fierce attack.

“Hey, what should I do with that?”

“… … .”

LeWicken’s attacks targeting Baek Sa-jun were also seen in other safe zones.

A situation where endless attacks are made from the sky that humans cannot reach. How do you deal with that?

No one could answer that question.

“We have no choice but to believe that Mr. Baek Sa-jun will do it. What are you doing! Bring the remnants of the mutation and offer them to me!”

“Oh, oh, oh!”

Yoon Seung-woo shouted urgently.

Anyway, all they can do is collect the remnants of mutation and offer them up.

The situation was similar in other safe zones.

“Fight in cooperation with the spirits!”

“Don’t move alone! Check the shield!”

“Let’s move quickly! Quickly!”

The enemies’ eyes were focused on Baek Sa-jun.

The spirits of the land, including Gaiad, took advantage of the gap to deal with the mutants and legionnaires.

The hunters also cooperated with the spirits and brought the remnants of the mutations they obtained to the safe zone.

‘It’s not enough. Even so… it’s still not enough.’

Yoon Seung-woo bit his lips as if he was nervous.

I offered up quite a few remnants of mutations, but there was still no response to my will to resist.

This was because as the level of the will to resist rose considerably, the amount of mutation remnants required increased.

‘Is the timing right?’

Yoon Seung-woo quickly went up to the rooftop.

Using the telescope, we could see Lewicken attacking the abandoned safe zone, and the safe zone’s shields were shaking precariously.

“Oh my god, what should I do?”

Yoon Seung-woo bit his lips as if he was anxious.

And then.

[Huh? What is it?]

[Undead? This undead… … .]

I heard a communication in my ear.

A message from the leaders of other safe zones. Yoon Seung-woo looked down without realizing it.

It was because I felt a strong presence.

“That’s… … .”

A huge guard dog stood in front of the safe zone.

Cerberus, whose head had been blown off. And Magnus was riding on top of it. Both of them had been through a fierce battle, and their entire bodies were badly damaged.

The two of them put down on the ground what they had brought.

“The crystal of evolution, and… the remnants of mutation?”

The numbers were huge.

Magnus looked back at the bewildered people, then suddenly fired a series of bullets into the sky.

Then he left with Cerberus.

As if there was no room to be here.

“It is the crystallization of evolution and the remnants of mutation!”

“There are so many of them? Where did you get all this?”

“… … !”

Yoon Seung-woo opened his eyes wide.

The same communication came to my ears. The voices of the leaders who were confused after seeing what their subordinates had left behind.

He shouted urgently.

“Pack up and get inside! There’s no time!”

You have to offer them up.

Yoon Seung-woo hurriedly jumped down from the rooftop.

***

The safe zone did not last long.

– Kwaaaaang!

LeWicken poured out more powerful fire to ensure the destruction of the safe zone.

The effect was evident.

The defensive barrier surrounding the safe zone was completely destroyed and a barrage of artillery fire engulfed Baek Sa-jun.

– Ghhhhhhhhh!

– Gooooooo… … !

The command barrier that Baek Sa-jun had raised was instantly destroyed. The undead guarding behind it also turned into horribly destroyed corpses in front of the fire.

All that remains are the skeleton and the white snake.

– Th, thud… thud… … !

The skeleton guarded Baek Sa-jun along with his clone.

The shield was destroyed in an instant. Its body was also destroyed by the blast, just like the shield. The skeleton recovered its body with its blood-sucking urge, but there was a limit to that.

‘It is difficult for the skeleton to be destroyed.’

If it is destroyed, it cannot be summoned until it is fully recovered. Considering the power of the skeleton, it is a loss of a lot of Baek Sa-jun’s power.

You must summon the skeleton.

The problem is that if you summon the skeleton… … .

– Taaaaaang!

“huh?”

If you summon a skeleton, there is no way to survive.

The moment I thought that, I heard a gunshot. It was faint because it was far away, but it was a sound that rang in my ears.

Because I heard it often.

Magnus’ gunshot. What does this mean?

‘Have you reached the safe zone?’

Baek Sa-jun smiled faintly.

He summoned Magnus and then used to borrow Magnus’s gift.

It’s the .

“Thank you for your hard work.”

– All, all right?

Baek Sa-jun summoned the skeleton.

The skeleton disappeared, leaving behind a voice mixed with confusion. The gunfire he had been defending against poured down on him.

He gave the gift without hesitation.

– Card dunk!

“Ugh… … !”

A pitch-black curtain has been drawn.

It was a curtain that poured out all the remaining fraud. Even so, it was not enough to prevent saturation.

LeWicken’s barrage of fire fell upon the curtain, and it began to break down rapidly from the edges.

‘just a little.’

But it doesn’t matter.

What Baek Sa-jun wanted was not to completely block Le Wicken’s saturation.

It was just a matter of buying a little bit of time.

‘Just a little more.’

The curtain was nearly half destroyed.

Breath, magic, and debris that dug into the destroyed parts covered Baek Sa-jun’s body. His body was burning, crushed, and pierced.

[Kuaaaaaaah!]

Lewicon, seeing that sight, was confident of victory.

The barrier is broken, there are no undead left, and there is no way for that human to escape from here.

Baek Sa-jun dies here.

LeWicken looked down at the human.

[… … .]

And at that moment.

It was impossible, but Le Wicken and Baek Sa-jun’s eyes met. They were a long way apart, but Baek Sa-jun was clearly looking at Le Wicken.

The human whose whole body was being destroyed opened his mouth.

“I told you. You… … .”

It was hard for Le Wicken to believe.

“I will take you as my servant.”

Incomprehensible words.

The moment Le Wicken frowned at those words.

– Kwaaaaaaaang!

[Crunch… …?!]

A huge wave of strong energy occurred around the safe zone where Baek Sa-jun was.

Special effect, . It was the power that was built up as all the defenses were destroyed.

A powerful recoil instantly erased Le Wicken’s attack that was heading towards Baek Sa-jun.

[Grrrrr… …!]

But it’s meaningless.

LeWicken summoned his magic again and quickly prepared to attack Baek Sa-jun.

And that was when it happened.

– I offer the crystals of evolution and the remnants of mutation.

– The will to resist grows greatly… … .

Baek Sa-jun turned his head. There was a tombstone standing in the center of the safe zone where he was.

The tombstone appeared to be emitting light.

Finally, a message appeared.

– Will to Resistance has reached level 10.

– New effects are unlocked.

The message Baek Sa-jun was waiting for.

“at las.”

Baek Sa-jun breathed a sigh of relief.
