This Is Not a Game - This Is Not a Game chapter 148

Paris

“run! Run, not walk, you laggards!”

“Squadron commander! The 3rd Company has called for support! Even one platoon is fine, so send it right away!”

“ammunition! Bring ammo!”

“Help! My daughter hurt her leg!”

“Chloe! Chloe!”

An officer screaming and giving orders, a soldier holding a weapon and moving around busily, a parent holding a child’s hand and running, and a young man calling someone’s name.

The peaceful city just a few hours ago has turned into a battlefield full of blood and screams.

No, to be precise, it was more appropriate to say that it was a scene of massacre rather than a battlefield.

It was difficult to call a situation in which one side suffered unilaterally as a war.

Doo doo doo!

Kwaaang!

The heavy sound of machine guns and the sound of rockets exploded, drowning out the sounds of the street.

People’s faces turned white from the fierce shooting that could not even be compared to before.

Because I knew what this situation meant from a few experiences.

Awesome!

The heavy armored vehicle parked in place of the barricade was cut in half, revealing the view beyond.

An existence wearing full plate mail and a helmet that covers the entire face.

At first glance, it looked like a knight-type contract, but everyone in the room knew that that being was not a contract, and furthermore, that it was not even a human.

The knight, whose red eyes were scattered while wrapped in an ominous dark red air current, aimed his dangling sword forward.

“come!”

A volley of fire was fired at the enemies who appeared through the collapsed barricades.

The firepower of one company armed with modern weapons was concentrated on one point.

Bullets and grenades rain down, mortars fire, and anti-tank missiles cut through the air.

It was an attack that could take down even a fair amount of medium-sized monsters, but unfortunately the opponent was not good.

gruck, gruck.

right! Tadak!

uhhhh

A corpse crawling with only the upper body remaining with the sound of cutting phlegm.

A skeleton that moves its jaws up and down and makes a grinding noise.

A translucent specter that emits horrifying cries.

The identities of the enemies were dead, but they were undead, living beings.

“Shoot! It means to shoot without stopping!”

The officers shouted as if vomiting blood.

If it was an ordinary monster as an opponent, it would have been enough to block it, but as I said before, the opponent was not good.

The Undead, who lacked reason, moved forward recklessly even if their bodies were destroyed and turned into ashes.

A fearless immortal army.

That alone was a problem, but there was a bigger problem.

wow

As black smoke gathered, the specters who had lost their form due to being caught in the storm of explosions were resurrected.

A few soldiers shot, but they passed in vain, and they could not do any damage to the ghost-type monsters, which had the worst compatibility with modern weapons.

“Sah, save me! Please save me!”

“aaagh!”

As the soldiers attacked by the specters fled in fear or opened fire on their comrades, the firepower was noticeably reduced, and more and more undead began to enter the road.

It was a hopeless situation, but no one could urge us to retreat.

It was because there was no place to retreat anymore, and it was clear that if they ran away in the first place, they would soon be caught up.

“Pa, arm! my arm… … .”

puck!

The soldier who cried while holding on to his severed arm was hit in the chest by the skeleton’s kick and fell to the ground.

The soldier who saw the skeleton with the sword raised above his head closed his eyes tightly, prepared for death.

However, no matter how much time passed, the soldier faintly narrowed his eyes as he did not feel the pain.

Beyond the blurry vision, I could see shattered skeletons and people running with cold weapons.

“contractor!”

The soldier forgot the pain rising from his arm and shouted in a voice filled with joy.

Normally, I thought of him as a bully who gained strength because of luck, but now I see that there is no hero.

The specters, who could not be defeated even with guns and bombs, fell helplessly in front of cold weapons such as swords, spears, and bows.

People cheered, but the faces of the contractors were not so good.

It’s already the fifteenth battle.

Although the physical strength of the contractors was superior to that of ordinary people, there were definitely limits.

The series of battles that continued without proper eating, sleeping, or rest were more than enough to drain the contractors’ stamina.

Kwajik!

“Whoa, whoa.”

The young man who smashed the head of the rushing zombie with his bare fists breathed heavily.

In my mind, I wanted to take off all my sword and armor and lie down anywhere to sleep, but I couldn’t.

This is because his family and friends are behind him.

‘I will endure until I can endure it.’

Luckily, he was better.

Unlike his colleagues who were wearing equipment without any ability, he was fighting wearing armor with cutting-edge technology produced in Korea.

The young man’s performance, aided by the armor, was outstanding.

Where other contractors dealt with two or three undead, he dealt with seven or eight undead.

visor!

The young man, who had been cutting down the undead in a trance, was brought back to reality by the shock and sharp sound of the sword.

“Death Knight?”

The young man who confirmed the existence of his sword blocked it muttered in a blank voice.

Code name Death Knight.

An elite monster that possesses both overwhelming offensive power that cuts through armored vehicles and tanks and ignorant defensive power that can withstand missiles.

‘Why was he only in the back except when dealing with tank troops or breaking down the defense line?’

The voice of the Death Knight came to the panicked young man’s ears.

It was the first language he had ever heard, but somehow the young man could understand its meaning.

“You want a duel?”

“… … .”

“Because I am a knight?”

The young man lowered his head and looked down at his body.

Certainly, wearing the armor, he looked like a knight.

‘The person I signed a contract with is also a knight… … .’

Fighting elite monsters is suicidal.

Unless you know it’s a hero called the superman of supermen, dozens of people must gather in order for an ordinary contractor to defeat an elite monster.

However, the young man could not easily bring out the words of refusal.

It was because the undead stopped attacking the moment the Death Knight came forward.

‘If we continue like this, everyone will die. In that case, I’d rather have a duel.’

If you win, it is as good as you win, and even if you lose, you can buy time for rest and maintenance for soldiers and contractors.

Having made up his mind, the man nodded.

“… … .”

“Joseph.”

After finishing Tongseongmyeong, the young man raised his sword and took an attacking stance.

In front of the attack power that cuts several centimeters of military armor like a piece of paper, there is no way that cutting-edge armor will be fine.

But the young man had a trump card.

Whoa!

With a faint echo, the young man’s sword glowed with blue energy.

Aura-infused weapons greatly increase attack power and durability.

Even if it doesn’t reach that of Death Knight, if it’s a sword with an aura, it will be able to divide at least a few dozen sums.

“Suck!”

It was the youth who attacked first.

Considering the difference in skill, it is better to aim for a counterattack while defending, but there is not enough mana to do that.

I wouldn’t know if I used it only at the moment of delivering the decisive blow, but if I continued to maintain my aura like this, it would be difficult to last less than 3 minutes.

‘It must be finished within 3 minutes.’

His heart was impatient, but he did not show any sign of it outwardly.

He fights with people stronger than himself, but he cannot lose his composure.

visor! visor! Chaeeng!

3 minutes, 2 minutes, 1 minute, 30 seconds… … .

The limit was gradually approaching, but there was no gap in the Death Knight’s posture.

Only then did the young man realize that the difference in skill between himself and the Death Knight was much greater than he thought.

‘It’s not just a strong monster. His swordsmanship is also top-notch!’

I don’t know if it was purely because I wanted to compete with swordsmanship, but the Death Knight was only producing the same strength and speed as himself.

The problem was that Death Knight was far superior to him in swordsmanship.

‘now!’

The moment the aura’s holding time fell below 5 seconds, the young man bet on a match.

He ignored the sword flying towards his chest and went on the attack.

The steel sword containing the power of Jin-Gak falls towards the crown of the Death Knight.

A sword swung at this distance can never be blocked.

‘Elite monsters with my hands… … .’

Kwajik!

“Cuck!”

Just before the sword could reach, the young man was thrown out at a terrifying speed and crashed into a nearby car.

The young man who alternately looked at the Death Knight standing arrogantly as if nothing had happened and the fresh blood flowing through the cut off armor burst into a dejected laugh.

“… … lost.”

The miracle didn’t happen.

As everyone expected, Death Knight won and the young man lost.

“shit! Joseph, now I… … .”

bang!

With a roar like a bomb exploding, the asphalt road around Death Knight shattered like a spider’s web.

It was a warning.

A warning that those who interfere with the duel will not be tolerated.

People on the street couldn’t even move because they felt like the Death Knight’s sword would come flying if they moved even a little.

The Death Knight nodded in satisfaction as he approached the young man and raised his sword.

The young man closed his eyes, prepared for death, just like the soldier who had been attacked by the skeleton before.

But no matter how much time passed, I didn’t feel any pain.

The sight of a Death Knight looking somewhere came into the sight of the young man who slowly opened his eyes.

thud. thud. thud.

A heavy sound coming from somewhere.

And soon after, the main character of Sori appeared.

Wow!

A mysterious figure landed in the middle of the road with a huge explosion.

Humans and the undead cast doubtful glances at the man in the so-called Super Hero Landing pose.

“… … Yuseong Han?”

“Han Yuseong? Who is that?”

“you idiot! Don’t you know the shooting star? Korean hero!”

“What? Is that real?!”

Realizing the man’s identity, the people forgot the situation and exclaimed.

The appearance of less than 10 heroes in the world was worth it.

thud!

The Death Knight stomped his feet once again, as if he didn’t like the fact that people were rejuvenated.

“cute.”

Yoosung muttered something he didn’t know what was cute and walked towards the Death Knight.

Enraged at Meteor’s leisurely attitude, the Death Knight rushed in, fiercely burning the chest under the helmet.

A sword with power that could not even be compared to when fighting a young man was swung toward the top of the meteor’s head.

Zeng!

Everyone in the hall doubted their eyes.

The Death Knight’s sword, which can even cut through tanks, was held in Yooseong’s hand.

In the midst of everyone’s astonishment, Yooseong stretched out his other hand and grabbed the Death Knight’s head.

“!!!”

A scream of pain erupted from the Death Knight’s mouth.

It was because the helmet in Yooseong’s hand was getting warped.

If Death Knight had let go of his sword and punched Meteor’s body or face, he would have been able to escape from the Iron Claw.

However, the Death Knight did not give up the sword until the last moment, and with that, the victory or defeat was decided.

Kwajik!

The movement of the Death Knight stopped at the same time as the helmet was crushed like a can.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Neither humans nor undead could say anything.

They couldn’t believe that such a terrifying being, that their captain had been treated in such a futile way.

However, no matter how much he denied it, the reality did not change.

aaang!

A new type of meteor using a shooting star was launched towards the undead group.

Yooseong, who erased the undead as easily as erasing graffiti with an eraser, jumped over a nearby building and crossed the city center at the voice heard through earphones.

The city was large and there were many undead invading it.

Even if it was impossible to drive out all the undead, they would have to stand still for at least one night to regain some stability.

“Ehh.”

Yooseong let out a small sigh and looked down from several tens of meters in the sky.

I don’t know if I should call this a blessing or a misfortune, but despite being invaded by monsters, the beautiful scenery of the city was soothing my gloomy mood a little.

After a short flight, the Eiffel Tower passed by in the field of view of the meteor falling to the ground.
