#243. The Ruined City of Loki 3 >

#Episode 243.

The Seven Seats do not leave the city they stay in for long.

Even if the wall holds up, if the city’s strongest force is absent for too long, a catastrophe could occur.

That is also the reason why the traveler who made his way back quickly returned.

Therefore, the upper limit of the force that the Federation can dispatch for expeditions or punitive operations is twelve levels.

The Twelve Four and the previous Twelve, Vietang, came to the now-dead Loki.

Twelve-five, that is.

It is clear that this is a power that no one in the world can underestimate.

however.

‘Not yet.’

A being that has rotted and decayed.

That monster with incomprehensible powers.

There is no sign of the one who destroyed Loki.

Hooooo—

Snow-covered Rocky City.

The cold wind that brushes the tip of my nose is full of energy.

Without even having to divide the city into underground and aboveground areas, or the ruined buildings, it is difficult to accurately explore because they are controlled by yogis who diligently disrupt human senses.

Still, I try to expand my horizons.

Although a fairly powerful yogic aura occasionally tickles my senses, it should be easy to hide my aura from the incomprehensible rotten monsters I’ve encountered before.

It won’t be him.

If so, where is that monster and what is he doing?

— Ghhhhh!

Crunch!

If he doesn’t show himself even when swinging his sword like this, did he run away because he knew the humans were coming noisily?

No way.

The other Twelve may not know him well, but at least I have encountered him before Loki fell.

He was so bold that he invaded Loki despite the presence of the Seven Seated Glorious, and he was a monster that transcended any category. Maybe that was why he didn’t leave, and I continued to have an intuitive conviction that he must be somewhere in the city.

The center of Loki. The day I faced him in the golden giant building in Shindong began to linger in my memory.

A distance that leaves one with nothing but blank stares.

The overwhelming presence at that time was unforgettable.

I felt a strange sense of discomfort, so much so that the tip of my tongue started to tingle for no reason.

but.

[ The Demon Lord joins . ]

This time, the absolute ruler of the martial arts world. One of the three gods is behind him.

Humans are such cunning creatures that just hearing the news that an ally of the highest caliber is joining them fills them with vague confidence instead of hesitation.

In fact, I haven’t even seen the shadow of the three Buddhas.

After a while.

I set my destination as the landmark of Shindong-kyung, the golden building, and quickly advanced into the city center. The black sword passed through several corpses, bone by bone. Blood lines belatedly appeared in the places where the sword passed, and the necks slowly separated.

——!

Now, even if I swing my sword countless times, I don’t get tired easily. I don’t even need a breath to fight against corpses below my level, so I can easily cut down the corpses that are rushing in. I cut up all kinds of corpses, and even eggshells that seemed to be in the process of transformation, into pieces. Soon, the flesh, bones, and blood scattered here and there mixed together, turning the snow-covered city of Loki red.

Rumble—

“asleep!”

The sudden explosion of Gonryo’s fist pushed the space apart. The upper bodies of the corpses that had been touched by the fist evaporated without a trace, and the pitiful lower bodies that remained staggered for a moment before collapsing in an instant.

Thud!

“This is my second thousandth. I’m strong, too, right?”

A strange power that contrasted with his awkward speech. Gonryo raised his red-stained fist above his head as if showing off. As a result, the vivid blood splattered out, making the sight truly grotesque.

I nodded.

“That’s great. We will hire you through special recruitment at our company.”

“···.”

At the scout offer, Gonryo looked around.

A little further away from here, dolls exuding strange magical powers are tearing apart corpses on top of a building.

Gonryo said in a whisper.

“Sorry. I can’t go there because there’s a scary prostitute there.”

Gonryo trembled at the mere mention of Vuetan’s name. The already powerful Vuetan had reached level 10 and his magical power had become even stronger…

“The prostitute is scarier than before. Revan, be careful.”

“I will carve it into my bones.”

“good.”

So, we focused on the battle again and before we knew it, we had almost reached Shindong-kyung, the center of Loki.

Originally, Shin-Tokyo was a city with luxurious buildings forming concrete jungles and skyscrapers, and with large roads on all sides forming islands, but now it has been destroyed to the point where its original form cannot be seen.

The roads have collapsed and are horribly dug up in places, and the once luxurious buildings are covered in some unknown slime, blood, and string. Combined with the screams and low cries of the corpses, the once luxurious Shindonggyeong has become a bizarre ghost town.

Jeokjeok-

Somewhere, the sound of a shell tearing slightly was heard.

I immediately unleashed my magic in the direction of the unpleasant noise. Five projectiles shot through the space like rays of light, slicing straight into their targets.

Kwajik!

It was deep in the cracks of the road that had collapsed sporadically. The eggshells of some monster undergoing a metamorphosis were torn into several pieces. A foul-smelling liquid flowed out and soaked the road.

And at that point, Gonryo got excited and shouted.

“Come on! Is it because of the smell?”

“······.”

The boundary of Shindongkyung.

As soon as there was a sound, corpses started to gather from somewhere.

It’s ironic that I’m this popular.

People will be busy avoiding the sight of the twelve sword-wielding soldiers out of fear and intimidation, but the lowly corpses will flock to them at the smell of humans.

Pot!

I kicked the corpse running towards me. With the crack of a bomb exploding, the corpse turned into a shell and fell down, knocking down the corpses following behind.

Then, he moved lightly as if he was dancing a sword dance.

Sugagak—

I thought as I gently cut through the crowd that was gathering like clouds.

Where did so many corpses come from?

These are most likely the inhabitants of Loki.

Those who died somewhere in the city, blaming the world.

He was not included in the line of fugitives who left Loki, who was already beyond his reach.

Some of the fugitives were treated as heroes, while the dead were quietly forgotten. They were lumped together as one of the many dead, then and now.

And today, after a long time, the fugitives from the past arrive to completely erase the city that was destroyed beyond repair.

The fugitives have thick skin.

He returns late and repeatedly kicks them as they change. Boom. Boom. Heavy flying bio-cannons and bowling pins that fall down when hit. He throws them into the gaps in the twisted road and makes graves. Did you all see that? I am the hero of the Federation.

“Revan. They’re all dead. What are you thinking?”

Gonryo, with sticky blood on his face, approached and asked. His eyes were filled with pure curiosity. To put it badly, he looked simple-minded.

It seems like the useless thoughts have been going on for a long time during the battle.

Before I knew it, all the corpses that had gathered were lying on the floor.

I replied, kicking the last remaining corpse with my feet, with a feeling of appreciation.

“The people of Loki are dying twice today. It is truly a pity.”

bang!

Exploding skulls. The foul smell of blood and urine wafted through the air. The starving residents of Loki were killed by a kick from a hero or madman.

ah.

The reason I called the corpse just now a resident of Loki was because he was wearing thick clothes all over his body and had his sleeves tied. He tried to prevent infection to the point where he couldn’t take off his pants even when he needed to pee, so he just peed on his clothes. It was obvious that he was thinking hard about how to survive.

I think I stared at the corpse for quite some time.

“also.”

Until the witch, Laura Martinez, came along.

“I thought you guys would come here.”

* * *

Laura Martinez immediately called for help.

I met the gaze of a powerful ‘something’ and was unable to contact the three gods.

That was the point of the story.

[ You have to help me or I’ll die. ]

Laura Martinez’s expression showed a look of unconcealed fear and confusion.

Even at level 9, it’s not easy for a high-level wizard to look like a woman trembling with fear.

In the whole world, there are very few beings who can show such great power against such a giant as the Twelve Emperors. I immediately realized what kind of a ridiculous monster this was.

That’s him.

thud······.

The master of magic engineering, Twelveth Topuria, who was in charge of Ahimsa’s artificial dam, was left to deal with him. However, Ahimsa’s artificial dam was new. There may be a recall in the future. Therefore, it would be a problem if the creator died at a critical time.

Wheeeeeeeeeek—

I ran straight to where the battle was taking place.

Gonryo and Byeotang also understood the situation and followed.

The place where Topuria was was not too far from where I was.

however.

—————!

“!”

As we approached the golden building, the entire snow-covered Rocky flashed magnificently.

A series of dazzling explosions, as if tens of thousands of flash grenades had exploded at once.

The golden building, a landmark of Shin-Tokyo. A tremendous amount of magical power surged from near that quiet building.

Gwagwagwagwagwang——

A fierce snow storm blew in front of our eyes. When we arrived, the area was already in a state of scorched earth, as if it had been carpet bombed. This was a situation where the Twelve Topuria were struggling with all their might against ‘something’.

The problem is.

Until they approached this area, even the massive explosions sounded like nothing more than the noise of ordinary battle.

‘I guess I should think of it as a way of criticizing.’

The area around the golden building was distorted by a very high-level yogic energy. There was no time to figure out whether it was something that deeply involved the human mind and cognitive abilities, or whether it was a power that actually controlled space.

However, if Laura Martinez had chosen to fight alongside Topuria, this would have been a graveyard. Even if the entire building had collapsed, they would not have been able to recognize the extent of the battle from afar.

In that moment, my intuition became sharp.

Let’s look up.

“······.”

【······.】

The hunched figure sways in the cold wind.

A strange shape, as if a mop had been hung on a dry tree branch.

Is this our second meeting?

Ordinary people cannot deny or defy the presence of something on top of that building. A monster higher than Parumuqi or Rosilsk. Something sitting on a giant eggshell, looking down at the ground. An enormous pressure surges like a tidal wave.

When you witness the vast difference in class, it is hard to keep your wits about you. But as expected of the twelve disciples, they did not blush and hesitate, and did not fall on their butts.

like that.

Me. Vietang. Martinez. Gonryo. Topuria.

The Twelve Five and the Incomprehensible Corpse faced each other in Shindonggyeong.

They weren’t all people who would go somewhere and die, but there was no particular word from the side. Just by witnessing it, I could see a terrible death ahead of me. Of course, I couldn’t even think of running away. I’ve felt this feeling before. I would want to gouge out both my eyes right now if my gaze was forced upon me.

“···Strong. But I’ll kill you. Even a god dies if he gets hit.”

Kookookookook—

Gonryo’s eyes lit up with fire and his fighting spirit burned, but he was clearly affected by it, as he was unable to properly control his energy and was spewing out his fighting spirit in all directions. Gonryo’s eyes, which were glaring up at the building, were bloodshot.

“······.”

And Topuria, who had unfurled a 10-meter-tall, bizarrely shaped magic weapon resembling a scorpion above his head, seemed to have used a large amount of stimulants or boosters to withstand the enormous pressure and mental attacks of the creature. His pupils were hyper-dilated, and the blood vessels in his neck were noticeably swollen. He looked so out of place that it was hard to even utter a single word.

“shit······.”

“Hmm~ Is this it?”

Laura Martinez was constantly in a state of confusion, and Castra Vietang, who had reached level 10, was holding up relatively well. In front of the new master of Shindonggyeong, the old master who ruled Shindonggyeong opened his mouth with a half-closed look.

“That looks like one of us has to die to escape. Judging from the way you’re attacking me first, you’re smart.”

Of course, he didn’t seem to have any intention of running away, but it wasn’t just a pure joke. The hundreds of elite dolls that Vuetan possessed were all lined up awkwardly, unable to move. For now, his momentum was focused on Vuetan’s doll army.

I asked.

“So when will the Three Lords come?”

“Don’t you know me? Even the federal agents don’t seem to know.”

“······.”

The federal servant that Vuetan mentioned. Laura Martinez frowned. At least it seems true. You can’t threaten to fulfill a promise right away. This is like a natural disaster.

There is no way that rotten, rotten thing will let us go quietly. The oppressive force that seems to crush our whole body and the immeasurable level of the demon prove it.

Cool—

“It seems like his goal is infection.”

At that moment, Topuria spoke from the other side, coughing up blood. His complexion had regained a little of its color from the miserable moment before. As he spoke, he inserted a syringe into his neck and continuously injected special solutions.

“If that doesn’t work out, we’ll kill you, but we’ll first infect you and turn you into a traitor.”

Soon, the magical weapon that Topuria held high in the sky made a squeaking sound and sucked in the energy of the world, illuminating the city with a dazzling halo of light. The weapon, which had instantly condensed unimaginable magical power, vibrated and resonated with the atmosphere.

OMG······

A magical power that can blow away the entire Shindong area.

“But don’t worry.”

Swish-

Topuria, who wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth in a pathological manner, opened his mouth while staggering.

“Unclean infected people will be evaporated in the blink of an eye.”

* * *

‘I wonder if I can handle taking these guys with me.’

Castra Vietang sighed as he looked at Topuria and Gonryo, who were preparing for battle.

Saaaah—

Let’s try to summon up some magic power, and the restraints that were holding the dolls back were slightly loosened. However, the mental pressure remained the same or worsened, and Vietang’s temples kept throbbing.

Manipulating so many elite puppets obviously requires mental concentration, but just seeing these extraordinary corpses is so creepy and terrifying…

In addition, an indescribable discomfort crawls throughout my body.

‘This is not an ordinary feeling of pressure. This is a curse.’

Byetang shook his head repeatedly. Even if he fought in good health, his chances of winning were slim, and he couldn’t fight with a curse and mental penalty hanging over him. Byetang, who had been trained with curse magic, was able to endure it… That monster was clearly on a different level.

‘And even if you hold out now, it will be difficult to hold out once the battle begins.’

It seemed that they had no chance of winning against that being. It wouldn’t be strange if they were all wiped out before the Three Lords arrived.

The pressure on Vuitton is getting worse.

But there is one reason why I don’t run away and stay.

“······.”

It was because Revan remained in his seat. Revan seemed to be thinking about something with a blank expression.

Are you thinking of any special escape method?

Vuitan waited a few more seconds, enduring the monster’s incredible momentum. In her experience, he was a man who had a good head on his shoulders when his life was at stake.

like that.

When everyone was preparing for battle, their muscles tense.

“······.”

Phew—

For a moment, a cool breeze blew in front of Vuitton.

And soon it became an uncontrollable storm, a fiercely raging storm that swept across the land.

——————!

Revan, who had been killing his presence to the limit, disappeared into obscurity.

soon.

······As if someone had drawn a line in the air, a long, straight black trajectory appeared.

From that tall building, up to the being that looked down on the Twelve.

* * *

Kuuung—

Suddenly, Maeng Yu-baek stopped walking.

But when I turned my head towards the sound, I couldn’t see anything.

“······.”

Yu Baek felt that he lacked the training to develop his qi and followed behind Vance.

Corpses were piled up in layers everywhere, rolling down in the winter wind.
