Episode 164

Baek Sa-jun used the ring of transfer.

The place he was transferred to was the rooftop of a ruined building. He borrowed the skeleton gift, , and looked around while hiding himself.

“It’s a mess.”

I saw a lot of enemies.

Mutants and legionnaires. And the appearance of special mutants and named legionnaires watching the situation.

But the situation is better than the original.

‘In the original, there was a lack of resistance.’

It was because many people became mutants.

Lee Hyuk-woon arrived in Daejeon late because of the apocalypse in Jeju Island, so he was unable to respond.

Baek Sa-jun burst into laughter.

“Even so, the situation is better than the original.”

The number of enemies was daunting, but it was funny how things were better.

Baek Sa-jun let out a long breath.

[Special effect activated!]

[It’s eaten! The mutants can’t even come near it!]

[If we do this well… … !]

I heard a communication by ear.

People in various safe zones were using special effects to repel enemies.

We have acquired powerful enough effects to easily deal with most mutants.

If we utilize them, we will be able to deal with common mutants without much trouble.

‘The problem is that we don’t leave it like that.’

Baek Sa-jun looked down at the ground.

The special mutants and legionnaires who had been observing the situation were seen starting to move.

The reason they’ve been observing the situation up until now is probably to check for changes in the shield.

That’s because they also knew that the shield was strengthened due to the special mutation. They must have checked how it changed and what the effect was.

‘Now that the confirmation is complete, is this it?’

Now, the confirmation is complete.

They are trying to move because they estimated that this much is enough to destroy it.

And that judgment is correct.

‘Once the legionnaires join, there is no stopping them.’

Special effects aren’t invincible either.

If that huge number of legionnaires rush in and focus their firepower, it will eventually be destroyed.

So, we have to stop it before that.

“… … .”

Baek Sa-jun looked at the item in his hand.

[Gaiad’s Piece (Legendary)]

· This is a piece made by removing a part of the body of Gaiad, the spirit king of the earth. Although it is a small piece, Gaiad’s power is contained within it.

· When used, it borrows Gaiad’s power to summon his clone and numerous earth spirits.

An item given as a gift by Gaiad, which Baek Sa-jun received as a reward for helping Namgung Yeon some time ago.

You should utilize this item so that you can destroy the enemy’s estimates.

– Ss …

Baek Sa-jun committed a crime while standing on the rooftop.

His morale spread in all directions. The legionnaires who felt the strong morale looked up at the rooftop at the same time.

They recognized the existence of Baek Sa-jun.

“Now that I think about it, I think you said you used a lot of strength.”

Gaiad said that he used a lot of his power when he appeared on Jeju Island with his own power.

I don’t know how much of it has been restored though.

“Let’s just say that we have no debt.”

Baek Sa-jun grabbed the piece.

Phaaaat! Magic power enveloped all directions.

***

The offensive has begun.

Surtr, a named legionnaire, watched silently as the mutants attacked the safe zone.

Other legionnaires hovered beside him.

– Kieeeeek!

– Ghhhhhhhhh!

The attack was less effective than expected.

The mutants who approached the barrier were seen dying. Surtr snickered as he watched.

[Is that the special effect?]

An effect obtained by hunting special mutants.

Since the commander had warned us in advance, we sent the mutants first to check what effect they had.

It’s quite tricky, though.

[It’s not impregnable.]

What can you do in the face of these numbers?

I’ve calculated the range of how far the special effects will reach. Outside that range, all you have to do is pour out firepower until the shield is destroyed.

Surtr opened the communication network.

[This is the 3rd Corps. We have grasped the situation in the safe zone in the West. We will destroy the defense shield first by concentrating firepower from a distance.]

[Confirmed. The safe zone here is empty. We will move quickly and join the other legions.]

[we are…….]

I heard a message in my head.

It was a communication from the named people in charge of other safe zones. After hearing their reports, Surtr recalled their objectives.

[Listen carefully. Our primary goal is not to destroy the safe zone. Our top priority is to kill Baek Sa-jun.]

That was a big reason why we started the offensive.

Attack the safe zones to draw out Baek Sa-jun. When he reveals himself, kill him.

If you don’t reveal yourself, we’ll destroy the safe zones so that it has no place to stay.

[Watch the surrounding area with a surveillance drone. If you spot any undead, report them immediately.]

[check.]

Surtr took a step forward.

Then, a change occurred in the creature’s body. The muscular, human-like body split apart, and a fierce flame burst out from between them.

The flames engulfed Surtr’s entire body, transforming him into a giant of overwhelming size.

[Get ready. The attack begins.]

[yes.]

Kuuung!

Surtr advances while burning everything that blocks his path. Even the people in the safe zone recognized Surtr. It was inevitable.

“What, what is that… … .”

“What, what’s so big?!”

Surtr was so huge that it could be recognized even from a distance.

As it was named after a mythical fire giant, it was a very powerful entity.

The legion commander was an entity that had put that much effort into it.

– Whoosh whoosh!

Surtr spread his hands wide.

Then, the palm opened and the radiators inside it were revealed. The radiators greedily absorbed a huge amount of magical power.

[As ordered by the Commander.]

A crimson flame rises from my hand.

The flame soon transformed into a giant spear. Surtr held the spear made of flame and glared at the safe zone filled with humans.

[Burn them all.]

And the javelin.

With a tremendous roar, Surtr’s spear of flame rushed into the safe zone.

The spear reached the shield, burning even the mutants, and soon destroyed the shield… … .

– Kwaaaaang!

To be exact, I almost destroyed it.

It certainly would have been so had it not been for the huge wall that rose from the ground beforehand.

Surtr frowned at the stone barrier blocking his spear.

[what……?]

Even the stone wall wasn’t safe.

A situation where it was destroyed after failing to withstand the attack of the window. The important thing is that it was blocked no matter what.

Is this also a special effect? ​​No, there will be no special mutant with such powers.

Then is it magic? That is impossible. There is no way a wizard can perform magic of this level.

Then what the heck?

– Crack, crack!

The answer was found quickly.

A sound was heard from somewhere. The sound of space being torn apart. And an overwhelming magical power that made even Surtr, who was made of machines, shiver.

Surtr raised his head.

[This is… … .]

All that is visible is the splitting sky.

Surtr felt an overwhelming presence beyond, and the moment he realized it was the moment that signaled the end of Surtr as an entity.

[Unexpected.]

– Kwaaaaang!

A huge roar rang out.

A giant fist appeared between the split sky and crushed Surtr without even noticing.

The bastard raised both arms in a hurry, but it was useless.

– Crack! Crack! Crack!

[Ugh, haaaaah!]

Surtr’s giant body was crushed in an instant.

Even the body was made of special metal, and the heart was made of a machine that could generate fierce flames.

All of them.

[S, Surtr… … .]

[What is this… … .]

All that remained were the crushed remains of Surtr.

The legionnaires who saw it were greatly shocked. The unexpected situation caused their thought circuits to momentarily stop.

And right then.

– My children, arise.

A gentle voice was heard.

As if in response, a violent earthquake occurred, and a huge number of spirits were summoned to the ground.

They were all spirits of the earth.

From low to high level, all kinds of spirits were rising from the ground.

– Kwaaaaah!

– Crap!

An item given as a gift by Gaiad, which Baek Sa-jun received as a reward for helping Namgung Yeon some time ago.

It was the effect of ‘Gaiad’s Piece’.

The spirits that rose from the ground began attacking the surrounding enemies without any hesitation.

– Kieeeeek!

[Ugh, flight, impossible… …!]

A spirit whose entire body was made of rock trampled the mutants, and a spirit that looked like a giant tree bound the legionnaires with its numerous tree trunks.

The legionnaires fall within.

As the tiny spirits gathered their hands and prayed, the ground split apart. The legionaries fell through the cracks in the ground, and the cracked ground closed again.

– Crack!

– Phew!

The legionnaires buried in the ground were destroyed.

A huge number of spirits attacked the surrounding enemies under the command of their ‘mother’.

But it’s not over yet.

– Crack, crack!

The effect of Gaiad’s fragments was not limited to summoning earth spirits.

Someone crossed the split sky.

– The time to repay the favor has come sooner than I thought.

It was a giant familiar to Baek Sa-jun.

Gaiad, the spirit king of the earth. A giant with such overwhelming size that he makes Surtur look ridiculous.

A vaguely shaped Gaiad smiled faintly at Baek Sa-jun standing on the rooftop.

“That’s true. I wanted to save it.”

Baek Sa-jun appeared, clearing the fog.

It was an item that could borrow the power of none other than the Spirit King. I had a strong desire to save it if possible. The problem was that I couldn’t do that.

“Is Namgung Yeon okay? I heard that if you use this piece, you will take on the burden of magical power.”

– He lamented that the convalescence period was extended.

“I hope you rested well and are feeling better.”

Baek Sa-jun joked with Gaiad.

The legionnaires began to gather around him. Their eyes were all blinking red. Their eyes revealed intense hostility.

– What can I do for you?

“Go wild.”

The legionnaires began to attack simultaneously.

A torrent of attacks poured down on Baek Sa-jun. Before that, the thick fog began to take shape.

– Ugh!

Cerberus, whose entire body was covered in the monster’s carapace, protected Baek Sa-jun from the attacks of his enemies.

Numerous attacks were launched at it, but the monster’s carapace was strong enough to block them all.

– Push push!

The armors that had blocked the attack were shot out and fell on the legionnaires surrounding Baek Sa-jun.

The legionnaires staggered greatly.

There was fog behind their backs.

– Crunch!

[Ugh… … !]

It was Iria.

When she appeared, she was moving through the legion with surprising speed, destroying enemies.

A speed that even the legionnaires couldn’t keep up with.

– Iria uses .

It was thanks to the effect of the buff called Kaito Nanama, which greatly enhanced speed and attack power.

The legionnaires, blocked by two volumes, were unable to attack their target, Baek Sa-jun, and fell in vain.

Baek Sa-jun grabbed his cane.

“I will do that too.”

It’s time to use what you’ve prepared.
