Episode 155

Green wavelength.

covered Daejeon. Mutants created through human evolution ran wild, and even legionnaires began to appear.

The once peaceful city quickly turned into hell.

“Hey, stop it! Stop it!”

“How can you stop that! Run away!”

“Eww!”

Buildings collapsed and roads were destroyed.

A large number of mutants were coming from all directions. Those hunters who had not yet mutated gathered together to keep them in check, but what was the point of this?

“Over there! Here it comes!”

“Fuck, shoot me! Shoot me!”

– Khuuuuuu… … .

The hunters launched their attacks in a hurry.

Fortunately, mutants are not invincible. Some mutants have fallen to their attacks.

The problem is.

– Kkuduk, kkudduk!

– Aaaah… … !

“Again, here it is again!”

The speed at which mutants appeared was faster than that. No matter how many enemies I killed, it was meaningless.

And one more thing.

[Destroy the enemies.]

[According to the orders of the Commander.]

“What are those kids doing!”

There were also monsters called .

Machine dolls covered in the skin of humans or monsters. They use the powers they had while alive, as well as the powers they gained when they became machines.

– Kwaaaaang!

– Phew! Hwaruruk!

“Ooh, eww!”

A skill that primarily targets hunters.

And then the bullets, shells, and optical weapons fired by the legionnaires continued to hit them.

The firepower was so strong that it was unbearable.

The hunters somehow managed to fight back against them.

– Kaaaaang!

“Crazy, my attacks aren’t working?!”

“No! Their defense is too high!”

The mechanical bodies of the legionnaires were capable of simply repelling most attacks.

Soon, the hunters are struck by gunfire again.

– Kwaaaaang!

The hunters’ formation collapsed under the saturation.

The legionnaires felt that there was no need to attack further, so they turned away and left the rest to the mutants. They must have gone off to bombard other places.

“T, shit… … .”

“Ugh… … .”

The fallen hunters swore.

I desperately raised my head and saw mutants rushing in. And in the corner of my vision, a timer was quickly running out.

[Time left until mutation: 6 minutes and 20 seconds.]

Unlike civilians who mutate quickly, Hunters took longer to mutate.

So it hasn’t mutated yet though.

‘What the hell, what does that mean!’

There are too many enemies.

There is no escape from here. It only prolongs life, even if it takes a long time to mutate.

The Hunters will soon be mutated too. Or they will resist and lose their lives to the mutants.

– Ah, ahh… … .

– This feels… really, good.

“Oh, don’t come! I told you not to come!”

The mutants eventually closed the distance.

The one in the lead was a terrible mutant with two heads. It had an ecstatic expression on its face, as if it was intoxicated by a power it had never felt before.

The bastard had no patience.

– You too, evolve.

– Or else, die… … !

“Ugh, euaaaah!”

The mutants attack while screaming. The hunters quickly counterattack, but there are too many enemies.

This is unavoidable.

The hunter closed his eyes tightly against the impending death.

– Card grab!

“uh?”

But death did not come.

Instead, all that could be heard was the sound of something hard scraping against something. The hunter opened his eyes, shuddering.

What he saw was a white shield.

“This, this is… a shield?”

The shield blocked the mutant’s attack.

A necromancer scatters protective shields using rats he revived with .

A pure white barrier blocked the mutants’ attacks.

– Card grab!

– Ugh… Aaaah!

The mutant became very angry when the attack was blocked.

The other mutants responded to the rage, rushing in together to destroy the barrier.

Their attacks cover the shield.

– Kwaaaaah!

– Creak… … ?!

To be exact, I was trying to cover it up.

If it weren’t for the huge sword made of flames that engulfed them at that very moment.

The black energy exploded, spewing hellfire.

-Whoooosh!

– Gaaaaaah!

Mutants howling while engulfed in flames.

And a strong wind blew.

– Crunch!

Three new types shot out with the wind, instantly cutting through the mutants surrounding the shield.

The hunters opened their eyes wide.

It was to see who did it.

“Hey, skeleton?”

“You’re undead?”

The thing that separated the mutants was the skeleton.

But its appearance was very different from that of a normal skeleton. Even its equipment and the shape of its bones.

The mutants became aware of the skeleton’s presence.

– Bones and such that can’t evolve!

– Kaaaah!

The mutants’ attacks targeted the skeleton.

But the attack didn’t reach the target. The skeleton used two gifts in succession.

Developed senses, and a sense of pressure.

– Kuuung!

The immense pressure slowed down the mutants.

The skeleton raised the and used with its clones as it advanced.

The slashes continued without pause, becoming more powerful and faster as they tore through the mutants’ bodies.

“Where on earth do those undead come from… … .”

“Hey, look at the timer!”

For a moment, I was astonished at the sight of the skeletons performing a dance that was hard to believe was undead.

The hunters sensed a great change.

A timer appeared before their eyes.

[Time left until mutation: 6 minutes 35 seconds.]

“The timer… stopped?”

The timer, which had been counting down endlessly until just a moment ago, stopped going down.

It was exactly after the shield appeared.

‘Does the barrier prevent mutations?’

The hunter raised his head.

The seed of evolution beyond that. The timer started ticking from the moment the green wavelength flowed out from there.

But that timer has now stopped.

And then another message appeared.

[Safe zones are established in some areas.]

[Find a safe zone.]

It was a message like a rope.

But where on earth is the safe zone? The hunters looked around hurriedly.

“Go over there.”

“Huh? You… … .”

Then, a voice was heard.

A barrier protecting the hunters. A man wearing bone armor stepped forward.

“I’ll buy you some time. The undead will show you the way. Go while using the barrier.”

The man turned away after saying those words.

“Wait a minute, alone… … !”

“Let’s go! He’ll take care of it!”

“What? Who the hell are you?”

“It’s Baek Sa-jun, you idiot!”

Busan and Jeju Island.

The name Baek Sa-jun, who played a big role in the two apocalypses, was known to everyone.

The hunter who saw the man handling a special undead called a skeleton was certain that he was Baek Sa-jun.

“We’re here! We’ll use whatever recovery tools we have and move! Let’s go!”

“Oh, oh, oh!”

The hunters leave the place as Baek Sa-jun said.

Left alone, he smiled faintly.

“It’s a good thing we have someone who is quick-witted.”

It would have been a headache if I had tried to help for no reason.

Baek Sa-jun looked around. He saw mutants who recognized him and started crying in anger.

“What a disgusting sight.”

This was Baek Sa-jun’s impression after seeing the mutant.

Unfortunately, the civilians who were close to the Seeds of Evolution could not be saved. This was because the civilians had no resistance to mutation and mutated faster due to being close to the Seeds of Evolution.

How can we save them?

‘There’s no other way than killing.’

Baek Sa-jun spread out his arm holding the cane.

A great amount of swindle flowed out of him. The swindle wrapped around his staff, and then the staff began to change shape rapidly.

– Summons the .

A scythe made of bone was held in his hand.

A scythe with howling skulls on its pole and a cool, sharp blade with a cold edge.

A terrible scream echoed from the scythe.

– Kkaaaaaaah!

Then, the surrounding land instantly rotted, and countless corpses from the underworld rose from the ground.

Baek Sa-jun committed fraud.

“Rise, Blood Golem.”

A multitude of corpses rose up, tangled together.

And soon they merged together to reveal a giant monster made of blood and flesh.

– Gooooooooo!

Blood Golem.

It’s an undead that I’ve summoned several times already. However, its majesty was different from when I summoned it in the snowfield.

The Blood Golem, made from numerous corpses, was on a whole other level in both size and power.

“I couldn’t handle it properly in the snow.”

There was a severe shortage of corpses there.

But now it’s different. Baek Sa-jun raised the and gave orders to the golem.

“Go wild.”

– Ghhhhhhhhh!

A blood golem that charges while roaring.

He trampled the mutants blocking his path and pushed forward with both arms without stopping.

The mutants rushed to stop the Blood Golem, bewildered by its unexpected power.

And that was the moment he wanted.

– Ugh… Aaaah!

– Push profit!

The blood golem spurted a huge amount of blood.

Blood gushed down like a wave on the mutants that had gathered around him. The mutants that touched it melted away.

The blood that had been scattered everywhere gathered again and soon turned into a huge whirlpool.

– Kwajijijik!

– Kkaaaak!

– My, my body… … !

A violent whirlwind that melts and grinds the mutants gathered by the Blood Golem.

A large number of mutants lost their lives at once.

– Thud, thud!

– Gooooooooo!

Blood Golems absorbed dead mutants, instantly replenishing the flesh and blood they consumed.

A monster with tremendous strength that can instantly restore damage it has taken from the corpses of its enemies.

That was the blood golem.

– Use .

Baek Sa-jun revived the mutants killed by the Blood Golem as zombies. At that moment, the legion members who noticed that the situation was going strangely returned.

Their gaze turned towards Baek Sa-jun.

[100, Sajun.]

[Target 1. Annihilation… … .]

Baek Sa-jun snapped his fingers.

About 40 zombies leap forward at once. Their corpses are swollen in a hideous manner.

and.

– Kwaaaaaaaang!

A huge explosion shook the earth.

It was a corpse explosion with greatly increased power and range due to the effects of and . On top of that, its power was further enhanced by the Scythe of Thanatos.

The explosion engulfed the legionnaires.

[Island, anchovy… sizzling… … .]

[Damage, serious. Activity… stopped… … .]

As the smoke from the explosion cleared, legionnaires were seen suffering extensive injuries to their entire bodies.

The movements of legionnaires who had their limbs blown off or half of their bodies blown away were greatly slowed down.

But that was only for a moment.

– Ugh, aaaah!

[Support your allies.]

The nearby mutants and legionnaires heard the commotion and rushed in. However, this was exactly the situation Baek Sa-jun had wanted the most.

A smile appeared on his lips.

“This is the perfect battlefield for a necromancer.”

The undead are an army that knows no fear.

A necromancer is someone who can create them endlessly, as long as they have enough corpses and enough liars.

Water warfare was Baek Sa-jun’s specialty.

– Ss …

A swirling sandstorm.

Baek Sa-jun, who had raised the Desert of Death, raised the undead and held high the Scythe of Thanatos.

The scythe gave off an ominous aura.

– Activates .

– Absorbs the power of the souls of dead enemies. Dark power strengthens the undead.

A black aura enveloped the undead.

The undead, strengthened by the power of , the effect of Thanatos’ Scythe, roared all at once.

Baek Sa-jun pointed his sickle at his enemies.

“Draw the enemy’s attention. Push forward!”

– Ghhhhhh!

– Bam!

Undead charging forward, led by a skeleton.

The attacks by the mutants and legionnaires destroyed them, but it was meaningless, as new undead took the place of the dead ones.

The immortal army swept through the streets of Daejeon.

“Spread out and look for people.”

– Gooooo… … .

While Baek Sa-jun was fighting the enemies, he separated some of the undead and entrusted them to rescuing the people.

There was a reason why it had to be that way.

‘We must minimize the damage.’

Because human life is important.

There was absolutely no such a ridiculous reason. The apocalypse called is an apocalypse that becomes more difficult as the damage to humans increases.

Because they all become mutants.

“The other guys need to move well.”

Mutants will be reduced if damage is reduced.

And as the mutants dwindle, it will be a treat for the legion commander who is confident of victory.

Baek Sa-jun was inspired as he thought of his followers who were scattered and moving around in various places.
