#241. The Ruined City of Loki 1 >

#Episode 241.

Outside the barrier. A land teeming with demons.

A new form of someone rushing in from afar was visible. At first, the form appeared as small as a dot, but in the blink of an eye, it got closer and passed by the Federation forces in an instant.

That’s right, the Seven Seated Neunggwanggaek.

————!

The tremendous wind pressure that was deafening pushed the moving tanks back. The Nungwanggaek quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight, spraying a huge wave of bullets in all directions. Small drops of blood flew from his sword, which was filled with formidable aura.

Dylan said, looking in the direction he had been shot from.

“······This is really a mess.”

On the path that the thief had dug, only pieces of flesh and blood of shattered corpses remained on the snow. He had passed alone through the vast land of about 30km, slaughtering all the corpses that stood in his way, and was now returning to Ragnarok.

Following the long trail of blood from the corpses, the federal troops advanced without firing a single shot.

Haaa—

White breath escaped from his mouth.

Now, the area where Loki and Ragnarok are located is in the midst of a bitterly cold winter.

The season when the weather gets colder, snow flies, and the ground freezes. This season has its own advantages for humans. Because the ground is frozen solid, there are fewer annoying moles crawling around, and it is easier to detect them when they approach.

Also, in the bitter cold, some corpses stop in place and act like they are in hibernation. Since they were once human, this may be an instinctive movement. It seems like they prefer ruined cities as their home rather than vast lands.

That is why winter is a bit much for humans who can prepare for the cold in all sorts of ways. That is why four months were given from the visit of Federal Supreme Court Justice Lubergen to the start of the operation. Humans quietly waited for the bitter winds of midwinter to blow.

[ There may be individuals who have completed their metamorphosis over the course of four months, but there may also be individuals who have just entered the metamorphosis process. And the stronger the individual, the longer it takes to prepare and complete the metamorphosis. It can even take several years. If it can complete its metamorphosis in a few weeks or months, it probably isn’t that great. ]

Humans are confidently crossing the frozen ground.

The bright light of humanity gradually illuminates the pitch-black darkness. As we passed through the 30km section that the Neunggwanggaek had broken through, there were corpses running towards us, stepping on the snow.

Kwaaaaang—

Spike-booted infantrymen advanced, killing and crushing the slow-moving, low-level corpses. Not a single named entity was visible in the overwhelming array of human powerhouses. The Federation’s massive force filled the ground and the sky. If there was a brain, there was no way it could show up.

It seems like only yesterday that I was running away just to save my life. The endless Federation Army and the general leading them. Even among the Twelve, there are many Level 9s in five. And the Three Lords whose whereabouts are still unknown. The situation has changed.

How many more hours passed like that?

“They all came.”

Slowly, Loki’s collapsed wall began to appear.

On the carrier deck. I said with moderate admiration.

“If they moved the entire city, their obsession is no ordinary one. They must have converted it into a moving castle. They expected it to take four days to get to Loki, but it only took a few hours.”

The eyes of Vuitton and Dylan on the deck were also directed to the same place. They showed similar reactions as I did. It had only been half a day since we had approached Rocky City.

“Even though we moved quickly, we were still incredibly close.”

“Tsk, if you travel in a straight line, Ragnarok and Loki are about 100km apart. If you turn on the lights and run the tram tracks like this, it wouldn’t even take half a day to get there. But······.”

Splash.

Dylan continued, his teeth grinding as if he was nervous.

“They crawled in, carrying villagers with stimulants and boosters hanging from their backs. They killed the undead that came rushing at them like idiots in the dark. And the weather was even better at that time, so the ground was a fucking mudhole. Shit. It still sucks to think about it.”

Dylan swore wildly as if memories of the past were flashing back to him.

I understand.

Before leading many residents to escape from Rocky City, there were some residents who wanted to stay in the city and die in peace. So Dylan used magic. I used a sword. I gave those residents what they wanted. So there was no way that Rocky would have any good memories at the end.

“Let’s smile anyway. Smile.”

“I don’t feel like laughing when I think of those guys.”

“It would be a greater shame to die without even knowing it than to be eaten and left to rot. Those who wanted to stay in Loki wanted that in the first place. From their perspective, we are no better than angels.”

“······Heh heh. You sound like an angel. Damn.”

Vietang laughed at that reaction.

“Now you know how to calm down a whining human?”

“Because I am an angel.”

As we chattered, Rocky City was getting closer. The city wall was in shambles. Naturally, there was no area magic circle left. It hadn’t been able to replenish its magic power at all.

at that time.

Kuung!

Someone fell down next to me on the deck. Vietang glanced at him as if he didn’t like it, then quickly turned his attention away.

“Wow, it’s so crowded inside!”

“Can important powers be moved around at will?”

“It doesn’t matter. My heart is stronger than that of a federal general.”

It was the Twelve’s mixed race, Gonryo, who had arbitrarily moved to another faction’s carrier. The pinnacle of close combat using the strong body of a mixed race. Even among the Twelve, he was a particularly hot-blooded guy. Gonryo then spoke with an excited look.

“Revan has become much stronger since then. So you know that, right?”

“hmm.”

I just turned my head slightly at Gonryo’s question.

Rocky City came into view, silent as ever.

The darkened Rocky City was completely dark. As the Federation’s battle carriers flew in and illuminated the area, all that could be seen inside the collapsed barrier were structures covered in white snow.

There seems to be no trace of life.

But······

The stench that blows in on the cold wind and the heat that hits your skin cannot be completely erased.

The bright lights fired by the Federation forces from the carrier scanned the dark city. There were no remains to be recovered. If it was a human, at least some bones would be left behind. Had they eaten all of those?

Or maybe he was still moving somewhere, unable to die.

That moment.

Flash!

A few lights, each the size of a human palm, still had some life left in them, reflecting the light shot from this direction. They were iron lights covered in rust. The inside of the building was dim due to the dust and snow that had covered the windows. Inside, I caught a vague figure of something moving.

Ssssssss—

I stood on the deck of the carrier and asked.

“The humans who ran away have returned. Are they survivors? If they return, they can become best-selling authors!”

Something clearly moved, but there was no answer.

I called out several more times after that, but as always, there was no answer. Only the sound of the cold winter wind blowing resonated with the dusty windows of the city center.

yet.

As the Federation’s combat carriers entered the city, a carrier carrying the Van Company’s forces crossed the boundary of Rocky City’s walls.

Suddenly, I felt a little depressed.

“It would be a worthless victory for the residents who left first.”

Kwaaaaaaaaaa———

The once calm Loki was filled with the horrific roars of the corpses.

Looking down at my feet, I saw buildings and streets covered in snow, and corpses rising from the ground. Where on earth were they hiding and jumping out? Projectiles made of flesh, bone, and blood shot out like bullets, aiming for the carrier, and some even tried to jump up to the sky above the carrier, stepping on the roof of the building.

However.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

People jump down from the carrier one after another to fight against their approach.

“My children first.”

Level 10 Puppeteer. The elite puppets filled with the magical power of Castra Vietang took the lead. Following this, Gonryo and I jumped down to the ground where corpses were pouring in, and at the same time, we felt a wide magical power covering our heads.

The hot, sweltering air of Rocky City.

Shuaaaaaaah—!

Two of the twelve fell to the ground like meteors.

Kuuuuung—!

At the landing point of the two, a blizzard was blowing fiercely, obscuring their vision.

* * *

Thud!

Yu Baek’s body, which was about to jump off the deck, was lifted into the air.

“!”

“Yanma. Shikya. Come to your senses.”

Reserve—

When Yu-Baek turned his head in surprise, Vance, who was picking his nose with an annoyed expression, was already firmly holding onto the back of Yu-Baek’s neck. The grip was so strong that Vance’s arms did not shake even when he struggled.

Vance continued to pick his nose.

“Where are you going? You shouldn’t jump down like those people, Inma. Do you know what’s down there? How scary would it be if there were a corpse with 100 dicks?”

Yu Baek answered, scratching his head awkwardly.

“I’m sorry. Since you’re running, I instinctively stop too.”

“What? I haven’t seen this guy like that before… He really is a scary guy.”

“······yes?”

“Are you trying to compete with me for loyalty right now? Yanma. I too wanted to jump down after you, but I held back tears and made a rational decision. Do you understand? I am a man who would give my life for you. Should I jump down now? Huh? I won’t die anyway.”

【Dolph. Stop holding the kid and making a fuss.】

At that moment, Revan’s six-way battle cry echoed in their minds. Yu Baek was surprised that Revan, who had fallen down below, had heard this entire conversation, and Vance, as if he had expected this, shouted in frustration and protested.

“······.”

Yu Baek glanced under the barrier.

The two Twelve, who had fallen while blowing snow, were already turning the bodies that were rushing in from all directions into a handful of blood. When Revan, the master of the Milk White, drew his sword with the first technique of the exit, the 5-meter-tall monster that was rushing towards him was instantly split in two. A huge amount of blood gushed out from the cross-section.

Choaaaaaaah—

Vance saw that and opened his mouth with a crumpled face.

“Those twelve are just monsters, so they can do crazy things like that. You can’t do that yet. If you go there, there’s a 100% chance you’ll get caught up and die.”

“Even I······…”

“Don’t look at that obvious guy. Look somewhere else.”

“?”

Yu Baek turned his gaze to where Vance had pointed. Behind the corpses that were endlessly rushing towards his master, Revan, and the Twelve Emperors, he saw dark, eerie eyes reflecting light.

They were entities assessing the situation from inside dark buildings or manholes, and when they focused their senses on that area, Yu-Baek flinched slightly at the strange sensation he felt for the first time in his life.

“Look. Those guys are all waiting for their chance to kill a rookie like you.”

“Brother. So those entities are named entities?”

“Named? How could those guys be named? They have no chance.”

“······ah.”

“It’s like level 7 or 8. I’d pee myself if I saw a real named person. That’s why field experience is more important than a flower pot in a plastic bag—”

“It’s noisy.”

As Vance continued to tease and snicker at the flustered Yu Baek, Ahimsa intervened appropriately. Ahimsa checked the time on his pocket watch without even looking at the two of them.

“Ahimsa. I am teaching a newbie.”

“It doesn’t matter if Yu-Baek doesn’t receive education. Yu-Baek’s intelligence is much higher than Rudolph’s.”

“······.”

Even though Master Revan was fighting a corpse from afar, Yu Baek was at a loss at the attitude of the executives of the company who remained calm.

I recited the chants of the Wireless Earth God’s Art in my mind. Then, through the power of the mind method, my mind became calm and I was able to see the situation from a broader perspective.

The carrier that the Van Company is riding is the leader in power.

The two Twelve jumped into the deep ground area, and a large number of combat carriers and Federation ground forces followed them, trampling through the city walls and surging into the city.

Kurururururung—

Soon, the carriers of the Van Company joined the Federation forces. Then they settled down in a relatively quiet area outside the city with few buildings. Megacorp Van Company. With only two level 9 members and a monk among them, they wouldn’t be easily defeated by any corpses they encountered.

Suddenly—

There, Vance jumped down and said, stretching his body.

“There’s a really strong monster inside the city. On the other hand, we have at least five Twelve-level monsters on our side. Those humans will find out while fighting, so we just have to beat them up in the meantime.”

“······.”

As soon as he finished speaking, corpses that smelled human were rushing in and entered Yu-Baek’s field of vision.

Monsters with appearances that make you feel sick. This is your first real battle with the guys who took your parents away. Yoo Baek braced himself as he looked at his calm and composed colleagues from Ban Company.

soon.

Kwaaang!

Watching the pitch-black monster rush in, Yu Baek-do drew his sword and kicked the snow-covered ground.

* * *

Meanwhile, at that time in Ragnarok City.

A nobleman who returned to the old palace with a bloody sword.

Stand tall!

His steps slowly stopped as he saw the dark figure standing in the center of the room.

Soon, the man holding the sword asked the mysterious guest.

“How is it that you are here and not Loki?”
