Twelve.
Extreme spear, evil dance.
The only spearman in the martial arts world who has reached level 10. The martial artists who use spears also call Akmu by the nickname of Sinchang (神槍).
The shaman’s vacuum chamber.
Ghost Shark Cassiopeia Panyatalu.
In the past, he was the one who reached the 10th level, following in the footsteps of the two strong men known as the Twelve Emperors, Sujwa and Chajwa.
Akmu’s nature is belligerent and he enjoys bloody battles.
In some ways, he is similar to Haomunju Dokgo Woongbaek, who is also a member of the Twelve Emperors. After he retired and reached the level he wanted, he became quiet, but Dokgo Woongbaek was also a very famous fighting maniac who repeatedly challenged Jin Gongjin.
However, the two were similar yet slightly different. While Dokgo Woong-baek felt joy in the fight itself, Geukchang Akmu was a character who felt a primitive joy in the ‘blood splatter’ during battle.
The difference is also revealed in their appearance. While Dokgo Woongbaek has the appearance of a thin, white-faced scholar, Akmu looks no different from a savage.
A thick body that looks like it just came out of a wild boar hunt in a primeval forest. A body that exudes an intimidating feeling, with muscles and tendons trained to the limit for slaughter and combat. The numerous scars throbbed as if they were proof of past battles.
but···
Fighting a bloody battle with a level 10 Twelve? That’s realistically difficult. Level 10 is a very high level, and there aren’t many strong people who can truly match up with it.
Excluding the absurd and nonsensical Three Heavenly Beings, there are the Seven Seats, the Twelve Emperors, the two-legged giants, the hermits of the previous generation, or the strong corpses.
Among them, Chiljwa (七座) was the best.
Since they are settled in one city and do not wander outside, they can come to you whenever they want to fight.
Among the twelve, the one who fought the most against the Seven Seats was Geukchang Akmu. He challenged any Seven Seat that would accept a fight. He challenged even if the odds of defeat were high.
If I can fight while spitting blood, I don’t care about winning or losing.
Because that was an extremely evil dance.
After being defeated by Baldur’s Seven Seats, the Gravekeeper, Akmu trained. And as was his usual annual ritual, this time he came to challenge Freyja’s Seven Seats.
Knock knock—
— I heard the Seven Seats here are very strong. I guess I should loosen up my body first.
Akmu’s sharp eyes turned to the outside of the barrier. Soon Akmu’s thick new form shot out faster than the speed of sound. His spear, made of a single piece of iron, turned red from friction with the air.
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow—!
The spear that fell like a meteor flipped over the axis of the earth with a radius of fifty meters. The nearby corpses fell through the cracks in the axis and rolled down. The evil spirit that had jumped over the northern wall fell to the ground and butchered the corpses. The ground not far from the wall. It was a movement that was nothing more than a warm-up.
But at some point.
Suddenly, a chilling sensation of the sound of the sword being struck.
Even that was a sense of discomfort that could be felt as a threat.
Crunch!
Suddenly, Akmu, who had shouted after the death of the lion, grabbed his spear. The instinctive movement of a fighting maniac who had faced countless transcendent beings. An explosive power burst out from his danjeon. His entire body was covered in red self-defense energy, and the haze extended to the tip of the spear.
however.
Kkwaddeuddeuk——!
—······.
When Akmu, who had belatedly sensed an inexplicable sense of discomfort, thrust his spear out with all his might, a hole had already been made in his stomach and red blood was leaking out.
Even though I instinctively sensed the attack and blocked it, I was unable to fully offset the shock that penetrated my internal organs. Since I covered it with my self-defense weapon, it ended at this level.
Chalbak—
On top of the typed self-defense device. There was a strange liquid. When Akmu touched it, it was slippery and sticky like oil. There was a strange salty smell coming from it.
‘Sea water? Not the work of man.’
slap!
Akmu turned his head towards the direction from which the attack had come. His incredible eyesight caught a brief movement. A slippery-looking figure appeared in the middle of the vast eastern sea, then disappeared into the water.
A view from beyond the northern wall.
To the south, east, and west, there is a vast blue ocean.
Judging from the trajectory, it is clear that the attack came from that direction.
— So you’re saying that you attacked me from such a long distance?
The original goal of the dance was Freya’s Seven Seats, but their gaze was turned towards the vast, wavy sea.
Even under threatening attacks, the infection was prevented. However, if there was a corpse with this much power, it would not be possible to end it with just a warm-up. At the sight of blood, joy surged up my back.
Gulp—
Akmu lowered his gaze and examined the wound.
There was a large hole in his abdomen and he was bleeding quite heavily.
— First of all, I need to go back to the city······.
The evil spirit that had been waiting for him returned to Freya, spurting blood.
Stop······.
Blood flowed from his abdomen and fell to the ground. Soon, the area outside Freya’s northern wall was filled with screams. The corpses, excited by the smell of blood, began to sniff the ground.
* * *
There are unique characteristics unique to the Freya region.
That’s right, the salinity of the coastal waters is very high.
Even if you throw a person into it, the salinity is so high that they won’t sink. The advantage is that even people who can’t swim can be forced to swim. However, unless you’re crazy, there are few people who swim naked.
That’s why corpses sometimes float up. Not infected, living corpses, but just human corpses. The drowned bodies that float up in the Freya Sea are greenish and look like bloated frogs.
“Are you also targeting that monster?”
“······.”
“I see, that’s a hint I didn’t notice.”
And now that I realize it, Akmu’s complexion looked just like a corpse pulled out of the sea. If he hadn’t been holding on to the long spear that had been in his hands for ages, I might have mistaken him for a bloated corpse.
Square. Square.
The gaping wound is healing quickly.
The humanoid that had been spitting out Johanna’s voice seemed to have some connection to medicine, as it connected severed blood vessels and sutured wounds skillfully. Ahimsa lightly breathed fire to burn the wound, and wrapped it with bandages that it had found somewhere.
Kook—
Soon, Akmu clenched and unclenched his thick hand. His pale complexion had now turned red. The wound that had been spurting blood also stopped bleeding in an instant.
“Thank you. I got injured trying to get down here and I look like a mess. I was planning on resting for a day or so, but I guess that won’t be necessary.”
I was relaxing when I saw a monster and returned to the city…
As I was listening to Akmu’s explanation of the situation, I suddenly asked.
“Is he strong?”
“Yes. It seems that there is a great water spirit hiding in the sea of Freya. I heard that this city has been unable to supply water to the Federation recently… Now I understand why.”
Akmu turned his shoulder and answered nonchalantly.
At the evil words about the water ghost, Rudolph made a frightened face and hissed. Rudolph soon began to tremble and sob.
“Brother, why is there a body in the sea? I thought there wasn’t one. I thought they couldn’t survive. That’s why I brought a swimsuit.”
“It’s okay. Even if you get bitten, you won’t get infected.”
“If you listen to the story, you’ll die immediately before you get infected. Even at the 12th day, my stomach is completely empty, so how am I supposed to live? Ha, did you really buy those swim trunks as luxury items—”
bang!
I firmly grabbed the head of the guy who was talking about panties. I was embarrassed, but I was also extremely upset at the sight of him whining. I wanted to beat him up more, but I held back because it was my first summer vacation. I was proud of my willpower as I grabbed him.
Bam.
Anyway, I pushed Rudolph towards the music and asked him again.
“But if the wound was so messed up, how did you avoid infection?”
“······.”
The following question caused an eerie atmosphere to flow through the room for a moment.
Ahimsa, who had been tying the bandage around Akmu’s waist, stepped back.
If you think about it, that’s true. A monster with enough strength to pierce through the stomach of the Twelve Emperors. Its skin is pale and shriveled like a corpse, so how could it end with just a little bleeding?
“Show me.”
Akmu burst into laughter at my suspicions and stepped forward. He stood up naked, not even holding onto the spear he had set up. His body was covered in muscles trained to the limit. The feeling of pressure was not ordinary.
“Now, cut as much as you want.”
Crunch.
At those words, I actually pulled out the light and swung it.
Phew!
Before the blade could make contact, Akmu’s hard skin burst open first. The sword only brushed past Akmu’s blood droplets before slicing through the air in vain.
“······.”
I witnessed the flow of energy in that brief moment.
He sent air power through the meridian and ruptured the area itself. He did so at the exact moment when the sword was about to cut through the skin. It was like a lizard that feels threatened and cuts off its tail first.
Chomp!
Blood gushed from his wound for a moment, then stopped.
It may look bizarre, but it is a skill that even the most skilled of experts would not be able to imagine. Controlling the air force with the energy pulse precisely at that moment and blowing up only the target area… is something that is only possible in games, but in reality, it is close to impossible.
I thought that light warriors only existed in games.
It wasn’t for nothing that you were covered in blood last time. When you fight in such a strange and violent way, you’re bound to end up covered in blood.
The body’s regenerative power must also be innate from birth. Instead of suffering major internal injuries, it is a form of healing through external injuries, but this is only possible if you have the physical strength to do so.
After all, he is a monster that has surpassed his natural strength by reaching level 10.
Even if you try to touch it, you will only receive minor wounds as you swing that solid, eternal spear. With enough force to turn the entire ground upside down from the wind pressure. I could fully understand his scarred, savage appearance.
Indeed, those who reach level 10 are on a different level.
“What more do you need?”
“No, it’s okay now.”
Akmu asked casually, and I shook my head. There was no need to confirm further since there was no lie in what he said. It seemed that he really came to Freya because of the Seven Seats, and when he raised his power, he did not feel any aura at all.
—······.
Also, Akmu and I just confirmed that we were both level 10. Not too long ago. Akmu’s eyes naturally lit up when he saw me at level 9.
Finally, I turned around and asked, “Johanna. She is not the type of woman who would be overly kind to a twelve-year-old who was injured.
“Did you drag me here right after I got off to ask for treatment?”
“Not at all. There’s no way that’s possible. He’s a person who can recover well on his own.”
Then, Johanna’s weak voice flowed out from the humanoid.
“I told you to come and check the situation yourself. That’s why. The ship has just been pierced, so what situation could be more understandable than this? If you don’t like it, you’ll go wild and say you’ll cut off my head first.”
“I’m not that bad of a person.”
“······.”
I gave a vague answer and frowned slightly. Johanna was right. If she had called people all the way to this remote sea and had only been talking about a corpse, I would have suspected her intentions. She might have found the main body hidden behind the humanoid and cut off its hands and neck.
I asked after organizing the situation in my head.
“What are the Seven Seats of Freya City doing?”
“You probably know this situation better than anyone else. Pilgrim is the strongest among the Seven Seats.”
Federation. Seven Seats of Freya City.
Pilgrim. Varna.
The sea and water of Freya City are essential to humanity.
It is different from the water obtained from the polluted lands in terms of stability. That is why ‘Varna’, which is ranked as the highest among the Seven Seats, is in charge of the Seven Seats of Freya City. The Federation is also well aware of the importance of this place.
At that moment, Johanna shook her head.
“But it seems like they’re just watching. Originally, there weren’t any undead living in the sea, but they’ve been appearing recently. It looks like there used to be one near Freya City… Anyway, I’m trying to find out in every way I can, but honestly, it’s not easy.”
A long time has passed since the corpse appeared.
It’s been over 150 years since I started working at Ban Bio.
Now that they have reached the status of the Twelve, more time has passed than that. The corpses may evolve and change in some way. It would not be strange if they broke out of their eggshells and evolved into mutations beyond imagination, and there is even a possibility that they have adapted to the ocean environment.
As if the starting point was after that incompetent guy died.
The corpses are approaching as a slightly more distinct threat.
Johanna said.
“It’s not an easy problem to solve. He keeps appearing and disappearing near the city as if he’s trying to lure us. This has been going on for weeks, and the Seven Seats aren’t moving.”
Is it because of the desalination plant complex that it is difficult to move?
If you go out to catch them for no reason and the plant complex gets polluted or attacked, it will be the worst possible outcome.
“If the situation is that dire, why don’t you call for federal assistance? How many more could you call for?”
“The Seven Seats are refusing to tell you this. They’re even refusing to support you, saying they don’t want to support you. Freya, even I, a sharp-tongued person, don’t know exactly why, but even the well-off Open House won’t know how things work.”
“?”
As I narrowed my eyes, Johanna shrugged.
“Here, Chiljwa is a rather cautious person.”
“discretion?”
Unfortunately, Ragnarok is not a time for caution.
The price of a bottle of water has already soared to 90 credits. If the supply of drinking water is not restored soon, residents will slowly begin to dry out and die, starting from the outskirts.
In the end, it’s the thirsty one who has to dig the well. Who else would dig the well?
I said.
“I should go to Chiljwa. Other cities may have some spare time, but Ragnarok can’t wait forever. People will die.”
Then, Johanna looked at me with a puzzled look.
“It’s surprising that you don’t care about one or two residents dying, but you call them nicknames······.”
A little later.
thud!
The extreme swordsman, Akmu, suddenly stood up, holding the spear. Johanna’s voice, which sounded tired, flowed out from the humanoid.
“Surely you’re not going to challenge me now······.”
“You’re not so reckless as to fight the Seven Seats right now. And you don’t seem to notice.”
“?”
Akmu, who had risen up with his spear in his hand, walked outside first. I followed him.
Saaaaaaah—
At that moment, an overwhelming energy was felt inside Freya City.
The strongest man in this city was calling us now.
* * *
Near Freya.
South, East, West.
The figure looking down at the vast ocean spread out on three sides in the distance opened its mouth.
【 Sure, it’s a problem if the patience of the Seven Seats is too good. Without water, the Federation will be in trouble. They have to fight quickly to have fun······. 】
Five gray eyes rotated around.
In those eyes, the crashing waves of Freya were delicately captured.
