Episode 175

Baek Sa-jun raised his head.

Standing behind him is a horrifyingly shaped door created by the entanglement of countless souls and skeletons.

It was the .

“Should I thank you for this? Thanks to you starting the offensive, I got it faster than I thought.”

[Baek Sa-jun… … !]

Baek Sa-jun and the corps commander’s eyes met.

The commander, feeling a strong sense of crisis, attempted to attack him without the slightest hesitation.

One, it’s already too late.

“Open the door!”

Crap!

The door was opened. No, it was forced open.

A giant, skeletal hand squeezed through the crack of the door and forcibly opened the tightly shut door.

What you see beyond that is a giant grim reaper.

[Now, here… … .]

The messenger’s appearance became blurred.

I could see beyond the door. It was a world of extreme darkness. An abyss where not even a single ray of light could enter.

Black smoke covered all directions.

[The boundary between life and death has become unclear… … .]

Then the terrain changed.

The earth rotted away, bitter resentment was heard everywhere, and black tombstones rose up.

The land of the dead was encroaching upon this place.

Baek Sa-jun looked back at the door.

“Come out.”

The abyss seen beyond the door.

In the darkness, creatures writhing were visible. Baek Sa-jun pointed his scythe at the commander.

“Bite the living.”

– Kkaaaaaaah!

The gates of the underworld spewed out evil spirits.

Demons appeared in innumerable, literally overwhelming numbers.

Human, beast, monster. Their forms were all different.

Although they were evil spirits of all kinds, they had one thing in common.

– Body, body, give me back!

– Hehehe!

That he is filled with hatred towards the living.

The evil spirits that had manifested in the present world scattered in all directions. They possessed the corpses of mutants scattered on the ground and took over the bodies of the dead.

– Gh …

– Woof woof… … .

The possessed dead rose up.

That wasn’t all. The demons contacted the mutants that were everywhere. And at that moment.

– Huh, huhhhh!

– Kwaaaaah!

Demons possessed the mutants.

The mutants who had lost control of their bodies began to scream and attack the surrounding allies.

Same mutants, and even legionnaires.

[What are you doing… … .]

The commander frowned at the sight.

I could see countless evil spirits covering the sky. They were inhabiting corpses, taking over the bodies of the living, and trying to create more dead people.

The guy showed his anger.

[You’re doing something sinister, Baek Sa-jun!]

The evil spirits that covered the sky

A huge number of evil spirits rushed towards the commander who was trying to destroy the gate of the underworld.

The commander frowned and created numerous weapons using nano particles, intending to wipe out the evil spirits that had surged up like a tidal wave all at once.

But before that.

– Crunch!

[… … !]

A black swamp appeared beneath the commander’s feet.

It was a swamp made of smoke that covered all sides. Soon, the swamp split open, and giant arms made of black bones rose from underneath.

The arms wrapped around the commander’s entire body.

– Ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki… … .

[You damn idiot!]

The commander exploded with anger.

The evil spirits suddenly rushed at him and surrounded him like a huge storm.

Baek Sa-jun slowly raised the scythe.

– Crunch!

And then he swung the scythe down with all his might.

The direction is where the commander is. To be exact, the evil spirits that surround him like a giant storm.

A sharp cutting sound rang out.

And after a while.

– Kwaaaaaaaang!

[what!]

The demons exploded.

The bodies of the evil spirits surrounding the commander split in half and began to explode violently.

The number of demons was so overwhelming that they could create a huge storm. When all those demons exploded at the same time, the firepower was unbelievable.

– Kkwaddudduk!

[Ughhhh… …!]

But the commander’s defenses were more than that.

The creature hastily raised its shield. Nanoparticles gathered together to create a huge barrier, and several layers of shields blocked the evil spirits that were attacking the creature.

A shield was blocking the explosion.

[Door! Destroy that door!]

The commander gave orders to his subordinates.

The gates of the underworld still spew out evil spirits. If we don’t destroy them, there will be no end.

That’s what I thought, and it was right.

– Gh …

– Woof woof… … .

Except that that’s not the case.

Corpses possessed by demons and mutants attacked the mutated legionnaires. Of course, dealing with them wasn’t that difficult.

But time drags on.

That was fatal.

“Le Weeken.”

– Koo, woooo… … .

LeWicken rose to his feet.

The bastard was in a terrible state. His entire body was destroyed. He didn’t have much time left to continue his rapid growth.

This is most likely the last attack.

Baek Sa-jun met Le Wicken’s eyes.

“Do I have to take risks?”

Baek Sa-jun raised his sickle high.

The scythe emitted a strange energy. The energy that flowed out permeated his followers.

To Lewicken, who had just woken up.

– Used .

– The undead under your command are greatly strengthened. However, they are all destroyed when the duration ends.

He used the madness of the immortal upon his followers.

Unlike the undead who can be resurrected when destroyed, the followers cannot be summoned for a while after they are destroyed. Because of the risk, the madness of the undead was not used on the followers unless absolutely necessary.

Now was the time to take that risk.

“good!”

– Kuoooooo!

LeWicken flew high.

All he could see was the commander being attacked by evil spirits. He squeezed out all his remaining strength and launched a final attack on the commander.

-Whaaaaah!

– Kwaaaaang!

The corrosive breath of Lewyken and the rock covered in flames engulfed the commander.

The commander who saw that gritted his teeth.

[Le Weeken!]

And then the crash.

LeWicken’s attack collided with the shield raised by the Legion Commander. The shield was strong enough to easily block the onslaught of demons.

But now.

– Damn.

The balance has been broken.

As LeWicken joined in, a crack appeared in the commander’s shield. The crack soon spread throughout the shield, and soon the shield began to break.

One layer, two layers, and four layers.

[nice……!]

There is only one defense remaining.

The commander focused all his energy on the final defense, and so did Lewicken.

The two forces clashed.

[Ahhhhhhhhhh!]

– Kuuuuu… … !

A tremendous shock shook the whole area.

The surrounding abandoned buildings collapsed, unable to withstand the impact. At the same time, the smoke from the explosion of the remaining evil spirits covered the entire area.

After a while, a strong wind blew.

-Whew!

As the smoke covering the commander and Lewicken cleared, the last one standing was revealed.

The shield was completely destroyed and disappeared.

Beyond that, a giant stood.

– Kik, kik.

He was a corps commander.

The evil spirits surrounding him disappeared, and Lewicken was summoned back after using up all his strength. The commander withstood the onslaught of attacks and became the final victor.

It seemed like that.

– Pushy profit!

[Huh, oh my!]

Smoke billowed out from the commander’s body.

The nano particles that had been spread out everywhere stopped moving, and the commander’s heart began to beat violently.

It was because the energy was depleted.

That wasn’t all.

– Fire, fire!

LeWicken’s attack destroyed the last defense barrier and succeeded in striking the commander’s entire body.

I could see the alloy body of the thing corroding, and there were places where it was destroyed by rocks.

Normally, he would have recovered quickly, but the current commander had no energy left.

[Monster, water… … .]

The nano particles obtained as the Legion Commander evolved require enormous energy to operate.

The same goes for his enlarged physique.

Of course, he must have done his math and acted like he could maintain this level.

Until Baek Sa-jun wrote .

[Hey, replenish your energy! Quickly!]

– Clang!

An unexpected attack threw the calculations out of whack.

Numerous stems sprouted from beneath the commander’s feet, trying to replenish his depleted energy.

[To quickly replenish energy… … .]

As the stem approached, the creature’s chest opened and what was inside was revealed.

It was the of the Legion Commander.

– Thud, thud, thud!

[Is this the only way… …!]

It was an ugly heart.

A giant heart made of grotesquely swollen flesh and various mechanical parts.

The stems connected with the inlet of the heart and began to inject massive amounts of energy.

The overheated heart belched out hot smoke.

‘now.’

And before that.

‘This is your only chance.’

Before the trunk emerged, thick smoke obscured the figures of the legion commander and Lewicken.

Baek Sa-jun kicked the ground and charged.

‘The condition is… the worst.’

Baek Sa-jun felt empty.

This was because I had used up most of the morale I had. I had used up all the morale I had left while using .

But we have to move.

“Kill the commander.”

This was the moment he had been waiting for.

The moment when the commander exhausts all his power and tries to replenish energy to the Seed of Evolution.

And when the defenses of the ‘heart’ are weakened.

“My followers, open the way!”

– Kwaaaaah!

– Keuheung!

The attendants ran in front of Baek Sa-jun.

There was only one thing he was after, the commander. He recognized the presence of Baek Sa-jun running towards him.

[I don’t even know what evolution is… …!]

– Passsssss!

The commander transformed his body by using the energy supplied by the stem.

Numerous fires erupted on the bastard’s body.

The guns were all aimed at Baek Sa-jun.

[You bug-like bastard!]

– Kwaaaaang!

A heavy barrage of artillery fire poured down on Baek Sa-jun.

It has to be stopped. Is there a way to stop it? There is no way. There is no more fraud left to create defensive magic.

There was only one thing I could trust.

– Ugh!

To receive with the body.

Cerberus, clad in the , threw himself into the pouring barrage.

His massive body blocked the fire.

– Kreuk… Khaaaaah!

– Crackle!

The commander’s barrage did not stop.

Cerberus protected his master and other followers by blocking the endless barrage with his own body.

The distance between you and the commander is getting shorter.

– Kkuadduk! Pfft!

But that didn’t last long.

Cerberus’s armor, which had been holding up against the pouring barrage, reached its limit. The armor was destroyed, and the body of the creature underneath was exposed to the barrage.

Cerberus leaped with all his might.

– Hwaruk… Hwaaaaak!

Cerberus leaped into the middle of the saturation and let out a roar as he spit out his last flames.

The blazing flames engulfed the commander’s legs.

A violent explosion occurred and with that, the completely destroyed Cerberus disappeared.

[It’s just a meaningless struggle!]

My energy has been replenished even more.

A strong current shot out from the commander’s right arm. The current soon transformed into a thunderstorm and shot out to burn Baek Sa-jun.

At that moment, a pitch-black curtain was spread out.

– Crackle crackle!

– Ughhhh… … !

It was Magnus.

The guy sent Baek Sa-jun first, then ran out separately and directed the thunderstorm towards himself.

The strong current quickly destroyed the pitch-black curtain. Magnus gripped his gun tightly, ignoring the destruction of the curtain.

– Taaaaaang!

Soon, bullets were fired one after another.

Three special bullets fired with . And then the bullets fired in succession with .

A number of bullets pierced the leg of the legion commander.

The magic within it shook him.

[Disappear!]

– Passus… … !

As the curtain was completely destroyed, Magnus, who was beyond it, disappeared as if melting into lightning.

The distance between you and the commander is further reduced.

– Clang!

Then the ground split apart.

Right in front of the commander, a large number of tentacles suddenly rose from the split ground. The sharp tentacles covered in machines rushed towards Baek Sa-jun all at once.

At the same time, the firearms that had finished replenishing their energy aimed at him again and breathed fire all at once.

– Hurry up!

– Ooh, ooh… Go… … !

Surging tentacles and pouring saturation.

The skeleton and Iria kicked the ground.

– Kwaaaaah!

-Whoooosh!

A blazing sword energy was shot out.

The roared by the skeleton cut down all the tentacles that were approaching. Then, Iria flew into the sky, spread her mutated wings wide, and blocked the pouring fire with a curtain of blood.

– Oww, ugh… … !

– That, ugh!

But that was only for a moment.

The newly created tentacles shot at the skeleton and Iria. The two blocked the pouring attacks and rushed towards the legion commander’s legs.

– Crunch!

– Kkwadkku!

The blades wrapped in black ink, and the blades soaked in blood, cut off both of the legion commander’s legs.

Just then, the tentacles pierced through the two groups, and the fire they fired together struck the two who were stationary.

The disappearing skeleton and Iria.

[You threw yourself to protect your master? It was a brave, but meaningless act.]

Baek Sa-jun reached the commander’s nose.

A giant of overwhelming size appeared. I could reach it, but what could I do at this distance? And that was just a necromancer.

The commander laughed at him for that.

[Yes, you came to my grave.]

The commander raised both arms in anger.

As the particles powered by the supplemented energy gathered, the bastard’s two fists changed into gauntlets.

With a gauntlet that emits intense electric current.

[Baek Sa-jun!]

The commander struck with all his might.

This single blow is enough to completely destroy Baek Sa-jun. Even if he dodges, the electricity in the gauntlet will completely burn his body.

There is no way for Baek Sa-jun to stop this.

The commander thought so.

– Kkikkik, kwaaaaang!

[… … !]

Until the foot I stepped on collapsed.

The ground cracked as his feet landed, and his knees suddenly collapsed. The commander tried to maintain his balance with his remaining leg, but that was impossible.

Because that bridge collapsed too.

“It can’t be meaningless, idiot.”

The vision of the legion commander shaking violently.

Baek Sa-jun ran with all his might while writing .

[what…….]

The legion commander falls with both legs lost.

Why did the bridge collapse? I couldn’t understand it. But that didn’t last long. The bastard’s thinking circuit quickly figured out why the bridge collapsed.

[under.]

The retinue that was destroyed a little while ago.

They attacked the commander as if making a last desperate effort before being destroyed.

Where were the areas targeted by those attacks?

[no way.]

It was the leg of the legion commander.

The relentless attacks by the followers targeting the legs finally had an effect.

[I thought it was a tantrum.]

I thought it was a meaningless attack. I thought it would be okay to take it with my bare body.

However, the attacks of the followers, strengthened by various effects, were attacks that could not be ignored even by that.

My energy was depleted, and the energy I had replenishing was used for attacks, so I had no room to regenerate my body.

And right now.

[I’m going to give this to these bugs… ]

The price has come back.

Kuuung! The commander’s body fell to the ground. Baek Sa-jun quickly climbed onto the bastard’s chest.

What you see is a giant .

He lifted the scythe with all his might.

“It’s the end.”

And one blow.

The scythe of Thanatos, laden with deceit.

[Kuaaaaaaah!]

The commander’s heart was literally cut out.
