#244. The Ruined City of Loki 4 >

#Episode 244.

The fugitive who had nothing special to do has returned.

The fugitive had no intention of running away twice.

So, we kicked the ground and launched the new model with full power.

It was only after that that I realized.

“······.”

The fact that in the past, I had only caught a fleeting glimpse of that incomprehensible monster from a great distance.

As soon as I leaped towards him, an ominous aura took my breath away.

On a giant eggshell.

When I recognized the bastard’s form more closely than before.

A chilling murderous intent runs up my spine.

It is a huge difference that I can feel on my skin, even more so than when I faced Federal Executor Yuk Lubergen when I was a slave to the brain control chip and lived as a servant.

Rosilsk.

In the past, there were two level 10 strong players, Scarlett, and Twelve Emperors, Panyatalu, and even other leveled magic tower masters, but they were unable to hunt the named Rosilsk. Instead, two magic tower masters were defeated.

And that guy is above Rosilsk. Even when I first saw Rosilsk’s power, I never felt this sensation.

In a world that flows slowly, I opened my eyes wide and stared at the guy.

【······.】

A snowman. Or a scarecrow in a vast field.

okay.

The incomprehensible being looked like a melted snowman.

A form that is neither natural nor harmonious, and is extremely artificial.

The eyes and nose were protruding, as if a child had roughly inserted a rotten branch into it. And the teeth, worn down by many years, were faintly visible.

Let’s look down further.

Thin, emaciated skeletons stretched out in all directions, and the parts that could be called the torso were all rotten and decayed. Also, there were internal organs that were pulsating and emitting an intense amber light, mixed in with the rotten and decayed organs.

The thing that stimulated the fear of the unknown was of that type.

The sight is so strange that I feel uncomfortable. What kind of appearance is that? It is so grotesque and horrible that I feel like gouging out my eyes right away.

Could it be that a monster with that kind of appearance was really a person like me?

Boom—Boom—

The weak human instinct screams fiercely at you to get away. That horrible, alien being is so strong that it is dark. It is a monster that you cannot dare to face, so change your mind now.

It’s a good decision. Even rationally speaking, the odds of winning are slim.

but.

Still, I bend.

Swaaaaaaah—

My sword drew a trajectory as it approached the bastard. The light, covered in transparent, intangible energy, rushed toward the bastard’s rotten body. Dozens of rippling trajectories took root in the air.

But before those sword strikes could reach.

Swish-swish-

A strangely irritating sound scratched my ears.

Suddenly, the back of my hand started tickling, so I looked down at my hand, and the hand holding the sword was rotting away like a dry tree root. It had turned black, like a light beam. It spread from the tips of my fingers to the back of my hand. From the back of my hand to my forearm. It gradually expanded its area.

soon.

A bone-boiling pain came along with a stinging stench.

“······.”

Acceleration of thought.

Split and split every second.

Could it be that I got infected through the air?

Or maybe I was attacked without realizing it.

Are you saying that the gap between you and that guy is that absurd?

It can’t be this unrealistic.

While I was thinking about all sorts of things, my arm was rotting away and now I was at the point where I had to cut off my entire shoulder blade. My skin was cracking like the bark of a tree in winter. If this continues, not only will my arm fall off on its own, but my entire body will rot away.

Gulp—

Even my lungs seemed to be filling with sea water.

My movements, which even cut through space, become infinitely slow.

Is it the end? Suddenly, a fear of unknown origin and regret came rushing in.

Am I going to die here, because of my hasty conceit and pride? Like the people left behind in the ruined city. I should have run away at this time.

The chill of midwinter seeps into my body. My teeth chatter noisily as they chatter up and down. It feels like I’ve been thrown naked into a winter mountain. It’s a season where even the fallen leaves that block the cold wind have all frozen. All I can see are the bare tree branches.

ah.

I wanted to run away even if it meant abandoning the four below me. Or even if it meant abandoning all of Loki’s power, I wanted to get out of here.

I thought so and grabbed the vibrating light.

Even without that, his mind was already messed up… It would have been difficult to hold on to it if it were normal.

“Brainwashing pre-learning. It works.”

If it weren’t for the memories of the past, of the curse of the Vuetan that had invaded my consciousness and accompanied me for several months.

After naturally breaking free from the curse that was gnawing at his mind, he kicked the air while reciting the Wireless Earth God’s Gong’s verse.

The energy of the whole body is rushing towards pure energy. The upper tian is wide open and the senses are vividly revived. The upper tian cuts through the vague and irrational thoughts of the previous moment in an instant.

I unwittingly unwary my rotting arm and proceeded to emerge. It was thickly laden with an invisible energy that went beyond the sword.

Crunch!

The place where the sword swept through. The bastard’s form disappeared.

As soon as the bastard disappeared, the rotting arm became normal as if it had never been like that. The pain that had been creeping up on me also disappeared. The unfinished curse was nothing more than an illusion.

Kukookung!

And only then did I hear the loud noise of the ground I had kicked exploding from down there.

Finally, the battle clock began to flow normally.

Hooooo······

The closed breath is exhaled outward along with deep internal energy.

His hot breath rose into the air.

Snow flurries falling in Loki Shindongkyung. Rooftop of a golden building.

Here, following the path led by the invisible spirit of the Neunggwanggaek, I witnessed the incomprehensible corpse that was lying beyond the horizon.

Now I was face to face with that incomprehensible corpse.

I liked the fact that the form of the thing was far from human. There was something I wanted to ask in human language, but wasn’t that a monster of a different form? It seemed like it could concentrate on the battle without any disturbance.

——!

Soon, a thunderous crack burst out from the pole of the light and shook the sky. It moved through the bitter midwinter wind.

The falling snow stopped for a moment.

The world was moving slowly. Before I knew it, my black, stick-like body had reached the neck. Numerous pieces of steel were fluttering instead of snow, turning the whole area upside down.

······however.

He waved his gaunt arm around roughly.

Boom!

“······..”

The numerous pieces of the energy disappeared as if they had never been there, and my elbow holding the sword twisted as if it were being wrung out. It erased the energy as if it were a joke, and forcibly interfered with my body.

Saaaah—

also.

This time, my limbs were rotting away even faster than before. My internal organs were rumbling, I was feeling nauseous, and the distance between me and the thing was becoming unclear.

Originally, it was a distance that would be enough to decapitate the bastard if he took just one step into the air, but suddenly the distance seemed to have increased to several kilometers.

The pressure doubled.

A concentrated amount of yogic energy, incomparable to before, is focused on me. Another level 10 in this place. Because he is proficient in curse magic, he is the most difficult opponent. He is collecting the yogic energy he was pouring on her and focusing it on me.

Ppoduk—

My teeth were chattering. As I pulled my twisted arm and pushed in my air force, my pulse swelled as if it was going to burst. I forcibly grabbed my elbow, which was trying to turn at an impossible angle, and fixed it.

It’s bearable. For now.

Kwak!

He gripped the sword of light so tightly that it warped.

As soon as I regained some control over my body, I flew the new model.

Oh Hyung-geom’s first step. Immobile.

【······.】

Intangible. The transparent trajectories of the sword were stuffed into the air. The trajectories surrounding the new form of the bastard instantly narrowed the gap and cut through the space.

at that time.

Woohoo!

The creature’s sparse teeth chattered, and a strong mist of yogic energy burst out in a vast volume, filling his vision. The small, pumpkin-colored organs that had been pulsing between the creature’s rotten intestines moved to its emaciated limbs. They crawled like insects crawling through narrow spaces.

And then.

Even his skinny arms were slowly covered with a formless energy. He could easily create an energy that could match the trajectory of the immovable······

simplicity and honesty—–!

A shock wave that made my eyes and ears go blind at the same time. As the guy swung his bony arms, the world slowly distorted. As soon as I witnessed that, the fear and terror I had suppressed rushed to my eyes on their own, trying to eat away at my brain.

···It’s so far away.

The flesh screams, telling me to run away now.

My body stopped regardless of my will.

That is a being of a completely different level. Thanks to that, the source deep in my dantian reacted to that power and boiled like lava. Innate wisdom. It means that in order to fight, even life itself must be burned. Just like the last battles I had in my previous life—

“Level 10. There’s a reason Johanna did that.”

Hwaaaaah!

In an instant, a giant magic laser with a diameter of over ten meters devoured the incomprehensible within the fog. Topuria’s magic laser, which penetrated the high sky in one breath, left a huge aftershock in the city center. The heat spread widely across the area. The slowly fluttering snow melted and turned into rain.

Following that attack.

“me too.”

Doo doo doo—

Gonryo, who had been nimbly climbing up the building on all fours, jumped up using me, who was floating in the air, as a springboard. A faint flame rose above Gonryo’s head. For a moment, a flame as big as the King of Waters obscured Gonryo’s back.

Cheeeeeeek······

The rain that had been falling around Gonryo evaporated in an instant. The steam rose thickly like a sea fog, obscuring the nearby view. Gonryo smiled with his pupils dilated so that all his teeth were visible.

“······But that monster. It’s really scary.”

Gonryo must also be feeling an inherent fear. Nevertheless, he charged forward without hesitation and swung his fist. A blow that was so powerful that the floor of the building’s roof sank.

Boom!

Even though the amber light flashed intensely from the incomprehensible bastard’s emaciated arm, Gonryo did not flinch at all. Instead, he unleashed an even crazier series of attacks. The incredible fighting spirit and trained body of the beastman were suppressing the fear that was eating away at even his thoughts.

Saaaaaaah—

At that time, strange magical powers were transmitted from under the building. Castra Vuetan, an existence that even the Twelve Emperors would avoid. Elite dolls that must have been at least level 8, filled with their master’s magical powers, climbed up the building.

As the dolls that climbed the building like unbridled beasts simultaneously released their magical powers, it felt as if the incomprehensible and alien aura that had thickly descended upon the battlefield was somewhat dispelled. It was because of that ability that they had been restraining Vietang.

The rooftop of a building is being filled up so fast that there is no room to step. The dolls have begun their activities. They are oozing strange magical powers and establishing their territory like a pack of hyenas, testing the strength of the corpses by attacking in sync.

Phew!

Add to that the intermittent magical bombardment of Laura Martinez, who was stationed in the air, and we were in a full-scale war. A battlefield where the Twelve Five were unleashing their full power. Hundreds of magnificent bursts of energy erupted every second, competing with each other.

I also stabbed with my sword with all my might.

······however.

Who doesn’t know reality?

Even if they joined forces, the gap in power never narrowed.

The power of the incomprehensible corpse had long since surpassed the Twelve Stages of the Five.

Even if we estimate his level low, he is on par with the Seven Seats of humanity. The Twelve Emperors, who have subdued powerful named entities several times, will all feel the difference in level. Naturally, even if you use maximum power, his condition is no different from the beginning. He is so clean that it is frustrating to see.

Kwakwang—! Kwakwakwakwang—!

Even though I was holding off the attacks of the Twelve for dozens of seconds with those thin arms and legs, I didn’t see a single scratch. The limbs of the guy who looked thin were actually several times stronger than metal that was infused with a lot of energy.

No matter how many incredible fist strikes Gonryo unleashes in close combat, and no matter how many dolls of the somewhat well-off Vuetan rush in and unleash their magical power, he doesn’t feel even the slightest bit of trouble.

Kwaaaaah——!

The Twelve are causing a ruckus and bombing.

The only limit is to binding attacks using the bastard’s pumpkin-colored organ.

So he waits patiently for our energy to be exhausted. If the circuits overheat or lose power, one of the five will lose their senses due to an unknown fear. If even one person gets infected, the situation will change drastically.

Until then, all we can do is forcefully ignore our relative helplessness.

【······.】

The eyes and nose of the roughly placed guy seemed to be twitching.

For a brief moment, laughter erupted at the sight of her seemingly relaxed appearance.

The Twelve Emperors.

What use are the twelve monarchs of the Federation here?

The fame of the human world is nothing more than a meaningless facade in a battle with corpses. Humans and corpses. Only the stronger of them will survive. And if the battle with such monsters goes smoothly, annihilation is a foregone conclusion.

The famous five twelve will not survive until tomorrow.

Ugh!

Just then, someone screamed and was thrown far away. It was Gonryo, who had been attacking and tying up the bastard’s emaciated arms with me. A moment of emptiness appeared in the midst of the fierce battle.

If he had any intelligence, he wouldn’t have missed that opportunity. Sure enough, the bastard’s two emaciated arms began to flutter and his eyes began to glow a bloodshot amber.

Pot!

In the end, I had to turn back.

With my arms slowly rotting away, I barely managed to hold on to the light and escape the bastard’s reach.

Phew!

First, he stabbed the main body of Vietang, who was leading the dolls, with a sword.

“······you.”

The sunken Buetang’s bleak eyes stared blankly at the blood-stained wrist.

* * *

Ahimsa’s techblade slices off the upper bodies of the corpses, and Vance’s clumsy fist crushes their entire faces.

Ghhhhh—

Still, the horrific cries of the corpses continue.

Chunks of flesh leapt out of the alleys and formed high waves. The streets of Loki were covered in blood.

The current company was breaking through the straight road that led to Loki’s Shin-Dongkyung.

Soon, Vance’s loud cursing rang in everyone’s ears.

“Tsk. Why are you like this? They’re suddenly coming at me so much. My head hurts······.”

We had only just come into a vague view of the central district, but at some point, the onslaught of corpses became several times more intense than before. Even the estimated level 8 entities that had been running away from the battle so far threw themselves into the battlefield, giving the company no time to rest.

Whoosh whoosh—

“That’s just how the city of Rocky is. It’s always been a shitty place.”

Dylan, covered in blue lava, continued to speak while spitting out salt. Where he trampled, the giant’s footprints melted the ground. Some corpses dared to step on those footprints and their bodies turned to ashes.

“There are so many of them. Among the selectors, two-digit numbers have already died. I told you to be careful, you fucking idiots.”

Dylan, Rubenka, and Ron Cassandra. The corpses came rushing in without even giving the three wizards a chance to cool down their circuits. There were so many of them, if it weren’t for the formation Unpyeong had set up to buy time, they would have retreated due to the overheating of their circuits.

The resistance of the corpses is stronger than initially expected. They move like a legion under orders. They use low-level corpses as meat shields and occasionally make surprise attacks to tire out our forces.

The power of the magicians in charge of firepower is decreasing. This is definitely not good news for the company.

“···Phew. Phew.”

Meng Yu-baek was equally tired.

No, I was the most tired. If I were a selector, I would have been evaluated as outstanding, but it was because I was the most lacking in skill compared to the executives of the other companies.

The vague black aura that had been rising from the sword disappeared.

Even continuing to fight while pouring essence into one’s mouth was reaching its limit. It was unthinkable to use the air in this battlefield. At least, one should have time to digest the essence and absorb it into one’s energy······

He felt the evil gaze of Loki from all sides. He felt as if his neck would be cut off if he opened one eye. There were enemies lurking throughout the city. Meng Yu-baek was faithful to his senses, and he had never let his guard down until now.

There is a difference between cutting down a still bamboo and killing a corpse.

That’s the problem. With a body and mind this tired, even if you somehow manage to maintain the state of clarity, unexpected mistakes are bound to happen.

I want to sit down and catch my breath right now. I want to quietly organize the lessons I’ve learned during the battle, and achieve something to take another leap forward.

Tingle—

‘It wasn’t my mistake earlier.’

But I can’t just stop and relax. I turn my head to where indescribable energies intersect. Even from this far away, the first thing I feel, pushing aside the other corpses, is the enormous yogic energy and several large energies.

And mixed in with the great energies······even the familiar energy of the master.

Meng Yu-baek stuck out his tongue. In the distance, an unimaginably enormous battle was taking place, and he couldn’t just sit down for a moment because he was out of breath. Besides, he said he would become a disciple and participate in the suppression himself. It would be embarrassing to not be able to endure.

Sup—

He swallowed his breath that had risen to his chin. He straightened his trembling hands while reciting the sacred art. As the sword light flashed, three heads that had attacked from the side fell side by side. Yu Baek, who had gently cut off the heads with minimal force, stepped over the corpses and performed lightness techniques. The muscles in his entire body were tingling.

But the next moment.

Vance’s screams could be heard from behind.

“Hey!!! Behind—”

“······?!”

Thud!

The bodies of the corpses that were thought to have been beheaded moved. They crawled across the floor like cockroaches and grabbed Yu-baek’s ankles.

And then there’s the shadow that creeps in behind it.

······At that moment of “Oops,” his life was in danger. He quickly cut off the hand of the corpse that was grabbing his ankle while sweating profusely, but a corpse that was estimated to be level 7 took advantage of the gap and attacked Yu Baek. It was a corpse with one hand bone shaped like a round hammer, and the speed at which it rushed forward was as fast as a bullet.

Wheeeeeeeeeek—

To the exhausted Yu Baek, this was an extremely threatening opponent. His internal energy was almost completely depleted. He was an enemy who was in a state where he couldn’t fight him even with all his might, and he couldn’t even freely use his air power. His muscles, swollen from the intense battle, were screaming at this very moment.

Woohoo!

Yu Baek desperately controlled his trembling muscles. He didn’t have enough strength left to strike the level 7 corpse’s hand bone hammer. It was a do or die situation. Yu Baek forcibly deployed this technique of the five-shaped sword that he had practiced countless times in the past.

‘If I can just get out of here this once······!’

Thud!

The level 7 corpse was cut into dozens of pieces without even being able to scream.

W, what?

Yu Baek was so flustered that he could barely speak. The corpse was cut into dozens of pieces by the sword that couldn’t even properly inject air power. He stared at the sword, unable to believe that he had cut down the bastard.

“······Black ink?”

For some reason, the sword was blazing with black energy.

That moment.

——!

Quiet and languid.

From Maeng Yu-baek’s wrist, a translucent energy rose like a mist.

And it was the same with the wrists of other executives of the company. The energy that suddenly appeared and rippled on everyone’s wrists cleared their tired minds and gave strength to their bodies. Vance giggled as if he knew something, wondering if this was really happening.

Dylan intervened.

“I could go much deeper. Damn. Am I supposed to like this?”

The atmosphere that had been growing increasingly weary changed in an instant. A blue, gigantic blast of salt spewed out from Dylan’s body, sweeping away all the nearby alleys. With one spell, Dylan turned the ruined city center into a land of molten lava where corpses melted.

one side.

“This energy is from the first day when you cleansed my pulse······.”

Yu Baek, who still hasn’t shaken off his embarrassed expression, raises his head.

Over there, in the distance, the top of a tall building appears briefly in sight.

It was as if a waterfall had been turned upside down. Translucent streams of magical energy shot up high into the sky, falling in this direction, mixed with the fluttering snow.

* * *

Vuitton flinched at the cold sensation.

Because Revan, who had suddenly approached, suddenly stabbed me with his sword, wounding my arm, and then immediately poured his magic into me.

“What is this—”

But Vietang’s eyes narrowed at that sudden action.

Woooooooooo—

Suddenly, a translucent power surged from Vuitton’s wrist.

Soon, Vietang’s face became even more mysterious as he watched Revan stab the tip of his sword into the other twelve.

“······No way.”

The real highlight of the journey came when he witnessed the breathtaking sight of energy being drawn from Revan’s open chest and directed towards the badly injured Topuria.

“That’s right. That’s the magic that little Ilehin uses.”

Vietang was momentarily stunned. It was so shocking that he forgot that he was currently fighting an absurd monster.

The sixth peak’s peak. Ilehin Poycheka.

A unique magic that raised a mere child of the Ilehin family to the position of Magic Tower Master. The magic power that one has refined can be passed on to others who have their own magic power.

If Vuetan could force and control a doll that he had previously inserted his magic power into, Ilehin Poycheka’s magic was closer to mutual existence. Since he only inserted a small amount of magic power, it was less coercive, but he could transmit power as much as he wanted as long as his magic power allowed.

But you learned that magic in the meantime?

‘I told you to mix our bodies… I never thought we’d end up mixing our magic powers. Was this the reason you spent a month in the magic tower out of the blue?’

Hwaaaaah—

The moment the thought continued, Revan’s Baihui opened wide. Vietang’s eyes became strange. The magic particles of the world swirled and were sucked in, and soon after, a huge magic stream escaped into the air and seeped into Vietang’s wrist. Quite slowly. And like an endless ocean.

yet.

Revan, who had stabbed the bodies of the twelve four in turn, stood facing the incomprehensible corpses. While Revan was stabbing with his magic, the corpses’ vast aura had already spread out and covered the entire golden building.

Before that incomprehensible power that soared into the heavens.

Revan opened his mouth indifferently.

“But still.”

Srrrrung—

The black sword extended forward was covered with an incredible intangible energy.

“If we keep holding on, it will come down before we all die and fall down.”
