Episode 163

In a short period of time, Baek Sa-jun hunted a considerable number of special mutants.

The number of special mutants hunted in this way is six.

– Dedicated to the crystals of evolution.

– Special effects are added to the Will to Resistance.

– New features are unlocked.

Since I didn’t have time to offer it, I offered all the evolution crystals that I had stored in the subspace to the tombstone all at once.

Several special effects have been added to the tombstone.

– Special effects, .

– The attack power and skill effects of hunters in the safe zone are strengthened by 40%. This effect is strengthened as the number of people in the safe zone increases, up to a maximum of 80%.

– Weapons are specialized for mutants.

– A storm of blades periodically appears around the safe zone, attacking approaching enemies.

– Special effects, .

– The defense of hunters in the safe zone is increased by 40%. This effect is increased as the number of people in the safe zone increases, up to a maximum of 80%.

– The strength and duration of the defensive shield used by hunters increases significantly.

– The defensive shield of the safe zone increases in multiple layers, and when the hunter goes outside, the monster’s carapace is created to act as a defensive shield.

The most powerful effects were these two.

These were special effects created from the evolution crystals dropped by Blade Ears and Monsters. Like the swarm mother, they were powerful and had special effects.

There were three more there.

– Special effects, .

– Whenever the shield in the safe zone is attacked, it stores power, and when the stored power reaches a certain level, it can cause a powerful recoil.

– Special effects, .

– Unrecognizable traps appear near the safe zone and activate when enemies approach.

– Special effects, .

– Horrifying statues appear inside the safe zone. These statues spew powerful acidic mucus at approaching enemies.

Although they weren’t as effective as the swarm mother, blade ears, and monstrosity, they were still useful special effects.

He offered up all the remnants of the mutation there.

[Will to Resistance +6]

– Shield strength +250%.

– Shield recovery speed +100%.

– Shield range +50%.

– The shield attacks mutants that approach it, weakening their power by 40%. The shield’s attack power has been strengthened by 40%.

– When in a safe zone, the time remaining until transformation is quickly restored to maximum.

– When in a safe zone, wounds heal naturally and magic regenerates at a rapid rate.

– Consumables are randomly generated in the safe zone.

I guess I did everything I could.

Baek Sa-jun let out a faint sigh.

‘The problem is that this isn’t enough.’

If only mutants were coming, we could deal with them somehow, but the problem is the legionnaires.

The remaining legion members, except those who will guard the Seed of Evolution, will flock to the safe zones.

Can we really stop them?

How much more damage will there be?

‘I guess it depends on what I do.’

We have to lure the legionnaires somehow.

It won’t be easy, but you never know if you can use the trinkets you get from hunting special mutants.

[Monster’s Carapace (Legendary)]

· A fragment imbued with the power of a monster. It has the form of a necklace made of carapace. If you wear this item, you can use special powers, but your body will ‘evolve’ accordingly.

· Special Effect, : The wearer’s body will sprout a monster’s armor, increasing defense by 80%. It can also attack enemies by spitting out the armor. The armor will be restored if destroyed.

· All abilities are greatly enhanced.

· The item will be automatically destroyed if the disappears.

The carapace of a monster.

I had this in mind from the moment I first got it, to whom I was going to give it. It was none other than Cerberus.

– The executioner, slap!

“oh…….”

When the monstrous carapace was placed around Cerberus’ neck, armor-like carapace sprouted from its entire body.

Baek Sa-jun frowned.

“It’s a little gross, man.”

– Krrrrrr.

To be honest, it didn’t look good.

Instead, it looked that sturdy. It seemed like it could just ignore most attacks.

“Let’s divide these three evenly.”

I decided to distribute the remaining three trinkets appropriately among Magnus and his followers.

There are no special options, and since they are trinkets that greatly enhance abilities, it doesn’t matter who you give them to.

“Mr. Baek Sa-jun.”

A voice came from behind.

It was Yoon Seung-woo’s voice. He was looking at Baek Sa-jun with a face full of anxiety.

The people around me were the same.

“The leaders of the other safe zones have confirmed that the special effect has been activated. They have said that they will use the special effect as you have told them.”

“Uh. And?”

“The safe zones… are under attack. The enemies are moving towards us as well. They seem to be forming a formation, and it looks like they will attack soon.”

“I get it.”

Baek Sa-jun looked around.

I saw people in the safe zone. They were all shaking with anxiety like Seungwoo Yoon.

He slowly got up.

“Plan… Well, there’s no plan, but for now, let’s move according to plan. Wait for me.”

“yes.”

I did everything I could.

Now all that’s left is to confront it. Baek Sa-jun held the ‘stone’ and touched the ring of transfer.

* * *

The offensive has begun.

– Ghhhhhhhhh!

– Keeheeek! Keeheeek!

The sky is covered with countless mutants.

It was no different from the ground. All sorts of mutants were rushing forward, screaming.

A huge number of enemies are approaching.

“Fuck… … .”

Han Seo-kyung bit her lip.

The number of enemies rushing in is roughly in the thousands. It is several times more than the number of people in the safe zone.

There.

‘Are they all special mutants?’

Monsters were seen mixed in among the mutants.

Special mutants. Monsters that spit out horrible liquids from their entire bodies, monsters that fly through the sky and give birth to countless bugs. All kinds of special mutants have appeared.

The same would apply to other safe zones.

‘Baek Sa-jun said. It must be because of them that they haven’t moved for two days.’

That’s why they didn’t invade the safe zones even though they could have.

The intention is to create more special mutants to destroy safe zones more reliably.

and.

“Huh, does that mean you want to kill him that much?”

It must be an intention to kill Baek Sa-jun.

Han Seo-kyung heard the call ringing in her ears.

[The number of enemies… … .]

[Oh, that’s ridiculous. Where did you come from?]

[There must be at least a few thousand here! Are there other safe zones like that?]

“Yeah, it’s the same here too.”

It was a communication from the leaders of other safe zones. The situation seemed similar for all of them.

Han Seo-kyung smiled bitterly.

“Can you really stop that?”

There was no answer in return.

It was because they all had the same thought. How many days had it been since the seeds of evolution appeared?

‘Even if it’s fast, it’s too fast.’

While talking to Baek Sa-jun, I also heard about the new special effects that I would be getting. I prepared for this offensive in my own way.

But the preparation was meaningless.

Because there was so little that could be done.

[Time… is absolutely lacking.]

[The legionnaires have also appeared! They seem to be watching the situation from behind the mutants!]

[Come on, let’s start the fight! From here, first… … !]

[Us too, ugh! The monsters are here!]

I heard several screams in my ears.

Han Seo-kyung raised her head.

“Sister! There’s some scrap metal behind me!”

“I know!”

Mutants rushing into the safe zone.

Behind them, the legionnaires appeared. They were keeping an eye on the safe zone’s defenses, with the mutants in front. They were keeping an eye on the situation.

Han Seo-kyung swallowed her breath.

“What about those from other safe zones?”

“Waiting at location!”

“good.”

There was an order given by Baek Sa-jun in advance.

I’m going to give up half of my safe zone. And then I’m going to take that half and merge it into another safe zone.

Firstly, it was to reduce the number of places to defend, and secondly, it was because of the newly acquired buffs.

It had to be done that way, if only for the buff that gets stronger the more people belong to the safe zone.

– Crunch! Crunch!

“More, the trap has been triggered!”

Enemies are coming from all sides.

A special effect, , was installed near the safe zone. Various types of traps were activated and attacked the mutants.

Soaring blades, magical nets, and violent explosions reduced their numbers.

– Mutants are slowed by the trap’s effect.

– Mutants are weakened by the trap’s effect.

– Due to the trap’s effect… … .

There’s even a debuff there.

A considerable number of mutants died or were damaged, but there were so many of them that it was not noticeable.

The distance is narrowing.

“Hey, Sister! They’re all here!”

“I know! Wait!”

A loud roar was heard.

The distance between the mutants and the shield narrowed in an instant. Han Seo-kyung waited for the right moment, feeling the Hunters beside her tremble.

‘Not yet. Not yet… … .’

The enemies must come closer.

Kwaaang! The mutants rushed at an astonishing speed and attacked the defensive barriers of the safe zone.

In an instant, a tremendous shock struck the shield. The shock was so strong that it destroyed the first layer of the shield.

“They are attacking!”

“Just a little more, just a little more!”

“Sister, if you keep waiting… … !”

The mutants are flocking in.

Han Seo-kyung calmly counted the number of enemies. And when she thought the mutants had gathered enough.

“now!”

Special effects were activated.

Kuuung! The shield surrounding the safe zone vibrated violently, and the ground shook along with it.

and.

– Kwaaaaang!

– Kieeeeek!

The shield emitted a powerful shockwave.

Special effect, . The accumulated power burst out as one layer of the defensive barrier was destroyed.

The bodies of the mutants nearby were crushed in an instant, and the mutants beyond them were blown away.

– Activates special effect, .

Next comes acidic mucus.

Inside the safe zone, grotesquely shaped statues that looked like human-shaped toads appeared.

They vomited mucus into the sky, covering the fallen mutants.

– Pushy profit!

The bodies of the mutants that touched it melted.

The mutants who saw their own kind melting hesitated for a moment and took a few steps back.

At that moment, a gust of wind blew.

– Kkwaddudduk!

– Kihaaaaaaaah!

– Bar, Ram… … !

The wind turned into a storm in an instant.

A whirlwind of sharp blades. The bodies of mutants caught in it were literally torn apart.

The blood of the enemies was sprayed everywhere.

“Attack! Shoot the fallen ones first!”

“If we can’t kill them, we think we’ll die!”

“Eww!”

The hunters’ counterattack has begun.

Numerous long-range skills and spells were fired from within the safe zone. The attacks passed through the barrier and struck the confused mutants.

But the power was different than usual.

“What, what. The skill is… more than usual… .”

“Were my arrows this strong?”

An arrow shot by someone pierced five mutants at once and slammed into the wall.

A violent lightning strike blasted the mutants, and a powerful fire melted their skin.

It was a power that was incomparable to usual.

‘Is it the power of special effects?’

It was with the help of special effects that Baek Sa-jun obtained.

With the power of the group, abilities are strengthened, with the Ghost Blade, attack power and skill effects are strengthened, and with the Monster’s Carapace, even defense power is strengthened. And that’s up to 80%.

The power had no choice but to grow stronger.

“Don’t let them approach the shield!”

“Shoot! Don’t stop shooting!”

The hunters launched their attacks desperately.

The number of mutants approaching the shield rapidly decreased. The number of mutants was still uncountable, but it was decreasing.

‘If it continues like this… … .’

Maybe we can stop it.

The hunters thought so. But Han Seo-kyung, with a dark expression on her face, didn’t think so.

There are still enemies that haven’t moved yet.

“Sister!”

And then they started moving.

“The scrap metal is moving!”

Legionnaire.

The legionnaires, who had been observing the situation with the mutants at the forefront, were approaching the safe zone.

Since we have confirmed the effectiveness of the shield, we plan to help the mutants attack.

Han Seo-kyung bit her lip.

‘If those guys come, it won’t be easy.’

How long can the shield last when the Legionnaires pour in concentrated firepower?

Besides, there are still special mutants left.

We have to deal with them all at once.

‘What I can believe is… … .’

Han Seo-kyung thought of Baek Sa-jun’s face.

Just then, a sound was heard.

– Crackle, crackle!

The sound of space being torn apart.

And then, from somewhere, a tremendous amount of magic flowed out. It was magic so powerful that it made my skin tingle.

Everyone turned their heads. Without a doubt, the Hunters, the mutants, and even the Legionnaires.

What they see is.

“Has it started?”

The splitting sky.

There were countless spirits that appeared in between.
