Chalbak······

Step into a mud puddle formed by melting snow.

Those who came out of the building in a hurry looked for a place to rest for a while, and then they just sat down on the ground where there was no blood.

“I heard there was another infected person in the next unit.”

“What are you doing?”

“I went out to support the search and was infected by a level 7 entity without contact.”

“If you come near a high-level entity like that, you could easily get infected. If you think the contamination level in the area is high, you should have been careful.”

“It looks like there was a tiny crack in the gas mask decontamination filter.”

“Defective supply equipment? What a truly unlucky guy.”

“Where among the guys drafted here is there a lucky guy?”

“but······.”

They each looked around.

The military uniform and tech boots were soaking wet.

Stimulants and nervous system boosters with a single dose remaining.

I couldn’t stand the pain and had already used up all the pain control devices.

A beeping bio-signal detection radar. A frozen hot pack. A frosted steel prosthetic hand. A heavy weapon left on the ground after malfunctioning. A frozen protein chocolate bar that’s as hard as a stone and a water bottle filled with salt water.

— Move quickly!

A seriously injured person being transported to an unknown location. A squad member who has gone missing in battle and has never been seen again – a suspected infected person. An android soldier who is left on the ground and automatically goes through the disposal process. And the sight of soldiers taking warm parts from the bodies of those mechanical stragglers and using them as portable heaters.

“But we are humans, so we are luckier than those machines. We don’t have any allies who would rip out our internal organs even if we died.”

“Stop joking and quickly bring me something hot. It’s cold.”

Click.

The surviving soldiers took off their combat gas masks and weapons, cut off the cooling battery parts, and shared them. They felt quite warm when they held them to their ears, which were numb from the gunfire and the bitter cold.

The breathing that had been panting under the pressure gradually cleared up and the chill gradually disappeared. Loki’s midwinter. Hot steam flowed out between the chapped lips. The soldiers’ field of vision, which had been narrowed by the booster and gas mask, gradually widened as they had to maintain several times more concentration.

yet.

Gurrrrrr······

Soldiers who fought in the vast underground and building areas of the city and joined the main force. They all shivered from the cold but looked up at the distant sky.

Kugugugugugu—

There is an area where lightning flashes like thunder.

That’s the center of Rocky City. The area where Shin-Tokyo is located.

In the snowy Rocky City, surprisingly, only the area around Shin-Dong-Kyung does not snow. Only a massive shock wave, a huge light, and a loud noise pass through there and come down to the ground.

Despite the high-handed orders from lower-ranking commanders to not pay any attention to other battlefields, it was difficult to simply turn a blind eye.

It was only a few minutes of break, but it was worth the waste.

Wow, wow, wow!

A loud noise that reverberates throughout Loki. The earth trembles to its very axis.

As the powerful, tingling shockwave finally reached here and engulfed the area they were in, even the lower-ranking commanders who had been shouting the whole time flinched.

A series of sights that could not help but fill them with awe.

In the ruins of Shindongkyung that spread out in the distance, transcendental forces clashed again and again. Exclamations leaked out from the mouths of the soldiers who had been staring blankly.

“This is crazy… How many hours have they been fighting like that?”

“It’s been a full five hours. After all, they were fighting a long time ago.”

“···Is it true that the Twelve Emperors play in different waters?”

Kururururung—

A truly terrifying force gathers and swirls together.

······A battle where the lives of the great men are at stake. The fate of the battlefield will be determined by the outcome of that place. The soldiers who were watching the translucent light illuminating the sky in Shindonggyeong immediately stood up from their seats.

Suddenly, the gunfire had stopped. All the nearby corpses had been destroyed. The radar that had been noisily beeping to detect movement was also silent.

Soon after, the federal soldiers lined up at the orders of their subordinate commanders. This was because visitors had come to this place where the area had been cleared.

Two-star epaulettes. The senior commander of this area.

Federal General, Major General Gardel, stepped forward to greet them. Despite being a commander, Gardel was a general who had been at the forefront of the battle, and blood was still dripping from his fists.

— This is Gardel.

The gaze was focused on the opposite side.

Ban Company. A megacorp comprised of extremely talented people.

The spirit of each and every one of the executives of the company was truly extraordinary. Were they not truly capable people who had overcome countless hardships and adversities to reach that position?

Among them, a giant over two meters tall came to the forefront.

— Half company. Dylan.

Dylan was a member of the Loki clan and co-chairman of the anti-company group.

Phew!

Dylan, who was greeted, spat out a cigarette with the filter melted down to it.

— General, I came here because I suddenly had a question······.

A deeply frowned face. Fingertips trembling slightly.

Dylan, facing Gardel, looked somewhat uncomfortable.

Soon, Dylan turned his gaze to Shindonggyeong, where loud noises were continuously heard. There were light sources floating in the sky that were bright enough to illuminate the entire Loki.

Dylan turned his head again after a moment and continued speaking.

— Are the Three Lords coming? I guarantee you that these humans won’t last long.

—······.

Silence fell.

* * *

It’s already been nearly five hours since the battle started.

Twelve Topuria was certain that this battle would not end well.

We held out for quite some time, but things were going from bad to worse.

······The battle was coming to an end.

Revan’s magical power, which fell like a constellation from the sky, dispelled fear, cleared the mind, and replenished tired stamina, giving energy.

It’s amazing. You can wound someone with a sword and infuse them with magic power.

As the magical power poured in, my body did not tire. My combat efficiency increased vertically. I felt overflowing with strength, as if I was absorbing high-quality essence into my blood vessels.

It was certainly a great divine position. It was similar to the constitution of the Twelve Emperors, the Gongryongjiche Jinjin, and with the pure magical power flowing endlessly from his wide-open head, he was able to fight on equal terms with that monster for quite a long time.

however.

Saaaaak—

“······.”

The translucent magical power that had been faintly glowing on his wrist just a moment ago finally disappeared. The mad horse had transferred his magical power to the twelve four for a full five hours. Even he, who seemed to be pouring out infinitely, seemed to have reached an inevitable limit and withdrawn his magical power support.

I understand that you can’t just pour it out without any restrictions. It must have been an inevitable choice.

The magic power of the mad horse was definitely a great help in battle. It helped me overcome several dangerous situations.

However, the gap with the enemy was much wider than initially expected.

‘Even though the twelve five are clashing with each other, he still has some space left······.’

Incomprehensible.

A power that cannot be understood by the human mind.

Most attempts at attack were in vain. Even high-level magic had no effect on it, and the mental erosion was particularly severe.

Somewhere in my head, a withered tree takes root and grows. When the tree bears fruit, I feel anxious that it will die. It is a strange phenomenon that I cannot understand no matter how hard I try to understand it, and it is just creepy. It was something that not only Topuria but everyone here was experiencing at the moment.

Thud—

My eyes were fixed on the rotten branches and the flowing entrails. A snowman fixed on a dried field. It was so strangely shaped that a bird would come and eat its eyeballs. It was truly horrifying. In some ways, it was also comical.

‘···I made a mistake too. If I had known it would end up like this, I should have brought more nervous system boosters. I should have gouged out my eyes and offered them.’

To be honest, even Topuria, who was known for his strong will, was on the verge of going crazy from intense fear. As he continued to fight the incomprehensible corpse, the fatigue that did not go away but rather overlapped more and more. In order to prevent his mind from being completely consumed by madness, he would have no choice but to push his sane mind to a corner.

Cool!

“Crash!”

At that time, Gonryo, who was fighting, vomited blood with a painful face. For some reason, Gonryo’s entire body was covered in bruises, and there was no corner that was healthy, so it wouldn’t have been strange if he collapsed at any moment. The tail that was down didn’t shake any more. It was Gonryo, of all people, who ended up like that…

Kwakwakwakwang—!

“······Ha, does this really make sense?”

Laura Martinez fired a barrage of magic across Loki’s sky, but it didn’t work either. Not only was his strangely strong armor strong, but he also distorted space to twist his attack trajectory, so he couldn’t find any particular weakness, and his circuits just overheated.

“······.”

Even the great Castra Vietang is unable to find a way out.

It is difficult to find a doll from Vuitton that is in good condition.

Lastly, Topuria, who was severely injured and exhausted from facing the monster alone for the first time, was not in better condition than the other three.

I gave it my all.

And, the curious determination was in danger of disappearing in less than a day. Of course, what is fortunate is that even after fighting these monsters for 5 hours, there were still no infected people alive.

Thanks to the author.

—!

As the bastard’s emaciated arm pushed the entire space, the mad horse, who had been pushed back helplessly, dug his fingers into the floor. Crunch! The rebar and concrete split into five lines, sparks flying. The mad horse, who had been flying around by force, stopped its inertia, stepped on the ground sharply and fired a new form in reverse.

Wheeeeeeeek!

A mad horse rushed forward with tremendous elasticity. In its hand was a black sword. The weapon, darker than the darkness outside the barrier, shattered into thin air, leaving behind a black afterimage.

‘This absurd pressure and fear. The gap is so huge that it’s laughable… Can I fight with my mental strength? How?’

Even as Topuria questioned, the mad horse moved diligently.

In front of the corpse that had rotted away, he continued his investigation silently. His eyes were dry. The other twelve were in poor condition, so the joint attack had long since passed. However, he continued to move through the battlefield as if he didn’t care.

Kwaaang—!

A thunderous explosion. Revan’s transposition was as free as breathing. It seemed to be searching for a gap in the corpse, narrowing or widening the gap by tens of meters in an instant.

However, it is not an easy task. On the outside, it looks like a skinny and emaciated body, but inside, there is a murderous spirit and ferocity that no one dares approach. The rippling magic power is ready to devour the opponent at any time.

Right then.

—————!

Suddenly, a tremendous wave of energy exploded beneath the mad horse’s feet. Lightning struck. A speed that Topuria’s eyes could not keep up with. The mad horse’s sword, which folded space and dug into the corpse’s vicinity in an instant, flashed. Before the corpse’s bare arms could even swing, dozens of transparent trajectories appeared and rippled in all directions.

furthermore.

Mumble, mumble, mumble—

A steady rhythm. But the magical formula that he could not understand rang in Topuria’s ears. The air around him felt tense, and he felt an invisible pressure weighing on his body. He could tell that something dangerous was about to burst out.

He tries to unleash a dangerous force with the magical power he has accumulated without sharing it with the Twelve. A wave of energy that makes your skin tingle······!

Slurp······

“?”

at that time.

I saw Vue Tang appearing before my eyes without any warning.

Castra Vietang. The woman’s eyes were anything but normal. Something red was visible inside her rolled eyes. A woman who was a priority target for the federal government’s purge due to her numerous evil deeds.

Certainly, I don’t think it would be strange to betray the Federation at any time—

Topuria, who was thinking like that, suddenly came to his senses. He was almost engulfed in this erosion and looked pitiful.

‘······No. It’s not betrayal. It’s just that fear has eaten away at my mind and made me mad.’

Why did it have to be Castra Vietang?

There is no such thing as a setback, but it can still be reversed.

Soon, Topuria’s cyberwares spread out widely. The terrifying mana gathered and coagulated tightly into the core of the magic weapon. The strange magic of the Vietang tried to bind Topuria’s body, but she had no intention of giving up the initiative easily.

Kwakwakwakwang—!

A dazzling pillar of magic shot straight up into the sky. Two of Vuetan’s dolls were caught up in the flames and disappeared without a trace. Gonryo and Laura Martinez turned their heads in surprise at the sight. The battlefield became chaotic in an instant.

[ Gonryo. Martinez. Vietang is not in his right mind, so subdue him— ]

Kkwaduk!

“!”

The moment the telegram was sent, Vietang disappeared from his seat and strangled Topuria’s neck with both hands. His eyes, filled with great malice, pierced Topuria’s lungs. As the strange magical power squeezed his neck and waist like a snake, he felt excruciating pain as if his bones were being squeezed all over his body.

“Ah, that’s kind of what it feels like.”

“······.”

The red lips of the smiling Vietang were caught in the ear. Blood flowed down the corner of the mouth. When Topuria turned her head with difficulty, only Vietang’s wrist was rippling with translucent magic power in this place.

······Why does the mad horse only use his magic on Byuetang?

bang!

“You horrible whore. I knew it.”

“This is driving me crazy.”

Gonryo, who realized the seriousness of the situation, kicked the ground towards Vietang. Laura Martinez, who was supporting Revan from the sky, also turned around and aimed for Vietang.

Topuria’s gaze.

Behind the Vietang, Gonryo came running with a murderous spirit, and Laura Martinez quickly cut through the air.

Okay then.

The smile of Byetang, who was holding Topuria’s neck, grew deeper.

“I can’t just turn all three of these into dolls.”

* * *

Eyes that sparkle pure white.

The eyes of the person who was looking somewhere with incredible aerodynamics in their eyes were filled with curiosity.

“The three who couldn’t get over the wall eventually went crazy. So they took back the energy they had been sending out······.”

A dry, bitter wind blew over the ruined city.

The man standing in front of the slender arms silently stabbed with his sword even as his allies turned their backs. The traces of the cool air were filled with an intangible energy.

“Yeah, not bad.”

The person who had been staring down blankly eventually stepped into the vast empty space.

The next moment.

Wow!

For a moment, the sounds of the world seemed to be silenced, and then a massive circular shockwave spread across Loki’s ground. As the dust settled, the giant eggshell was gone, completely gone.

And in the place where the eggshell had been, a beautiful and handsome man was standing there.

—······.

A beautiful appearance that you wouldn’t think would use martial arts. No energy came out of his body. Even to the eyes of the twelve disciples who were shocked by the sudden explosion, the unseen person looked like an ordinary person.

But no one said a word.

Thousand-year-old star.

Jeong, Sa, and Ma (魔), which disappeared during the Tang Dynasty.

The only warrior who was thought to be able to surpass the sky, and who had never been defeated even once.

The extreme of magic.

And, the best martial artist of his time.

Ma-jon (Demon Lord). Maeng-woo-gak.

His two feet fell from the sky, creating gentle ripples.

And then.

Bam!

“Billyma.”

Revan’s sword cut through space without hesitation, aiming for the corpse’s neck. The light beam covered with intangible energy was caught in Maeng Woo-gak’s hand as easily as snatching a child’s toy.
