The Heavenly Demon Can't Live Ordinarily - Episode 482
482angry ant cave (3)
Park Ki-tae's report.
The Incheon government was shocked..
Hearing that an omen phenomenon was suspected, Kim Jun-hyuk immediately declared a summons..
“……I was complacent.”
The office left alone.
Kim Jun-hyuk shook his head as if in pain..
In fact, the abnormal phenomenon in the ant tunnel was able to be resolved before the problem became serious..
If the Incheon government had boldly deployed troops when the two queen ants were first discovered, the omen phenomenon would have been prevented in advance..
In fact, there were many cases where premonitory symptoms were resolved through prevention..
I certainly thought it was strange, but I couldn't move my troops carelessly in a situation where we were preparing for a catastrophe..
I was complacent.
was incompetent.
The fact that the problem I was aware of was spreading like wildfire made me doubt myself..
‘If it really is an omen as reported by the guide. From now on, the Incheon government must eradicate the anthills, even if it means risking life and death. Jeju Island, which was once evaluated as the second safest island in Korea after Seoul, was destroyed after overlooking an omen phenomenon. Just as marine monsters rushed in and wiped out Jeju Island while they were watching, the omen phenomenon is a problem that can turn into a disaster at any time..’
The destruction of Jeju Island.
It was an example of an anti-teacher..
Omens appear in various forms, but if you ignore them just because they are not a catastrophe, you may face a disastrous outcome..
That was already 6 years ago.
Clearly, after hearing about what happened in Jeju Island, Kim Jun-hyuk strengthened his guard against omen phenomena, but he made the mistake of overlooking what was happening in the ant cave..
there was no room for excuses.
Even if there were many restrictions on subjugation, a decision should have been made as soon as the anomaly was discovered..
‘Roman Dmitry. is he alive.’
I heard it from Park Ki-tae..
The fact that he entered the ant cave as a guide, and Roman Dmitry and Kang Min-ho did not run away but remained in the ant cave..
Kim Jun-hyuk didn't mean to, but he drove them to their deaths..
If I had known that the omen phenomenon occurred in the ant cave, I would never have sent the two to the ant cave..
More than anything.
Roman Dmitry did not mobilize forces.
Kim Jun-hyuk could not hide his miserable feelings at the fact that he had fulfilled his promise to himself..
‘When I was struggling with the anthill problem, I thought that proving Roman Dmitry was an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. This is disqualification as a mayor responsible for the safety of citizens. If the anthill was recognized as a problem that needed to be solved, the problem should not be passed on to others. If he dies, it's entirely my fault..’
I sincerely hoped.
I hope Roman Dmitry doesn't die.
Even though he knew it was impossible, he hoped to hold out until he and the punitive force arrived..
“Mayor. Ready.”
“i get it.”
It was Taeseong Lee.
Kim Jun-hyuk got up from his seat and walked outside..
Even at that time, there was no possibility in Kim Jun-hyuk's mind that Roman Dmitry would succeed in subjugating him..
* * *
The punitive force immediately left the safe zone..
It was a punitive force made up of Incheon's national army and some hunter guilds, including Cheongsan, a mercenary guild..
they were commissioned.
The Hunter Guild's main trading partner is the government..
Although it was a golden opportunity to make money as a liquidation, we decided that there was a need to help to ensure the safety of Incheon..
In fact, for that reason, Kim Jun-hyuk coexisted with Red Moon..
I knew they were working behind the scenes to advance into Seoul, but the existence of Red Moon itself was a necessary evil for Incheon..
of course.
It was in the past.
Just because Red Moon needed it, I had no intention of taking responsibility for their mistakes..
The road to the anthill.
Park Ki-tae, who joined the punitive force, vented his anger as soon as he discovered Cheol-ho Gu, the guild master of Cheongsan..
“Hey, this dog. If I had known it was such a dangerous mission, I should have told you in advance. what? If it seems dangerous, use the teleport scroll to escape? If I had done something wrong because of you, I would have died in an anthill..”
“Hey, Ki-tae. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!”
“It's okay if you're sorry!”
Koo Cheol-ho curled his tail..
Although he was close to Park Ki-tae, it was a matter of trust for the mercenary guild to lie about the difficulty of the request..
if.
If a rumor spreads that the mercenaries were tricked into believing that it was a truly dangerous hunting ground and drove them into a dangerous situation, it would be instantaneous for the mercenaries of the Cheongsan Guild to escape..
That's what mercenaries are like..
Depending on financial conditions and their own safety, they were people who changed their affiliation overnight even if they had been involved in liquidation for years..
Koo Cheol-ho said.
“Ki-tae. I really didn't know. If I had known it was such a dangerous hunting ground, I certainly wouldn't have sent you there. And this is really a secret, but in the first place, this request was made directly by the ‘Incheon government’, not by an individual..”
“what does that mean?”
“Literally. The client was the Incheon government. If you think about it, it doesn't make sense for an individual to go on a hunt and pay hundreds of millions of dollars to a D-class guide. I just trusted the Incheon government. I thought they would have formed a punitive force with a good chance of winning, but I wonder if they would have known that they would send out only two people. The reason I told you to use the scroll to run away if you were in danger was because I believed that your safety was the top priority, no matter how much the opponent was the Incheon government..”
Did the excuse work?.
Park Ki-tae showed a softened reaction..
If the request was made secretly by the Incheon government, this problem could not be said to be Koo Cheol-ho's fault..
however.
What is the relationship between Roman Dmitry and the Incheon government?.
If the relationship was friendly, it didn't make sense to send just the two of them to the anthill..
Gu Cheol-ho looked closely..
Judging that Park Ki-tae had calmed down, he subtly changed the topic..
“But those people who went into the ant cave. Are those people still alive??”
suddenly.
Park Ki-tae reminded me of Roman Dmitry..
It may be impossible with Kang Min-ho's skills, but Roman Dmitry certainly seemed to have some credibility..
‘If he is a grade A talent…….’
I couldn't think of an S rank..
There are less than 20 people in the world..
There was no way Roman Dmitri was the only S-rank hunter in Korea..
Grade A was a possibility.
That doesn't make sense either, but it was an area that could be fitted by turning the desired circuit..
but.
Park Ki-tae shook his head and said.
“……Probably dead. No matter how strong he is, it's impossible for him to last this long in hell..”
* * *
Immediately after Park Ki-tae left.
Kang Min-ho held a sword and looked nervous..
Ants were pouring in endlessly from the holes drilled in all directions around the queen ant's nest..
Wow!
Crumbling.
‘……Is this how I die?.’
dozens of queen ants.
If they continued to produce ants for a month, there was no way to guarantee when the wave of ants would end..
A thousand? Two thousand? Or tens of thousands? Because the end was unknown, Kang Min-ho felt like he was breaking into a cold sweat..
I had to live.
Since I couldn't die like this, I gripped the sword tightly with my increasingly wet hands..
Unlike him.
Roman Dmitry remained calm..
“Minho Kang.”
“yes.”
“By the standards of this world, what level of skill do you think it would take for someone to take care of all the ants?.”
“that is…….”
I was worried for a moment.
B-rank hunter is impossible.
In that case, you need to be at least Grade A or higher, but no matter how strong you are, you will inevitably lose strength against so many ants alone..
Of course, there might be an A-level hunter who surpasses Kang Min-ho’s common sense..
However, there was only one premise that could definitively answer Roman Dmitry's question..
“S grade. In Korea, only the white-robed wizard can solve this situation..”
“is it.”
sreung.
Roman Dmitry drew his sword..
As if to block Kang Min-ho's path, he slowly walked towards the ants..
“If that's the case, it's an appropriate experience to judge the standards of this world..”
* * *
New world.
A new standard was needed.
Roman Dmitry trusts himself, but he is not so complacent that he becomes overconfident in an unknown world..
‘Last month. I studied this world. Now, many things have been established in our minds, but it is foolish to judge the world based on knowledge received through text. Experience is needed. A clear experience that proves what you have studied is true.’
Kwarung.
Crumbling rumbling.
I raised my mana.
He walked towards the ants attacking him from all directions, and the moment he encountered them, Roman Dmitry also kicked the ground..
flash.
Papa Papa Pot.
The leading ants were torn apart..
As the hard outer shell was cut off like tofu, Roman Dmitry was already digging into a space filled with ants..
The ants reacted fiercely. They thought that Roman Dmitry was far away, but it seemed as if he had suddenly appeared before their eyes..
Phuwak.
Blood splattered everywhere..
Before they could react sensuously, Roman Dmitry's sword tore apart the ants' bodies..
Wow!
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The ants rushed like crazy..
As if the emotion of fear was excluded, they continued to press on even as they watched their compatriots die..
The number was truly uncountable..
From a distance, it was an overwhelming sight, like black waves rushing in, but the black waves turned dark red the moment they encountered Roman Dmitry..
flash.
If you stick your head in.
head flew off.
If you swing your front foot.
front paw flew off.
Even if dozens of ants attacked simultaneously, the ending of their bodies being torn apart was no different..
Kwaang!
Crumbling rumbling.
Evaporated everywhere..
As soon as Roman Dmitry took a step, the life of the ants there disappeared. It was a one-sided massacre.
Against Roman Dmitry, the distinction between worker ants and soldier ants was meaningless. Both worker ants and soldier ants were equally likely to die without being able to block a single attack..
They are just easy things anyway. Even though only a few minutes had passed, countless corpses had already piled up behind Roman Dmitry..
risk factors?
didn't exist.
Visually, it looked quite dangerous, but the attacks coming from all directions were all within Roman Dmitry's area..
There was no need to avoid it..
I cut it down just as it was attacking..
The strong front paws cracked and the body was split in two, the teeth were broken and the head flew off..
I felt thirsty.
more.
more, more.
I wanted them to be strong.
When he first entered the unknown world, Roman Dmitry, regardless of his feelings about his past life, had expectations that he might meet a new strong person..
I remembered every intense moment.
An opponent who cannot guarantee victory even if he/she puts forth all his/her strength. Even though it was a difficult life where his blood dried and he walked down a thorny path, he had never felt more alive than he did then..
at last.
Roman Dmitry was like that..
A being who does not stand out in a peaceful life and finds meaning in life only by living an unusual life..
It was contradictory.
Although he hoped to regain his peaceful past life, Roman Dmitry hoped that the process would be difficult..
flash.
Quack.
slaughtered.
Exuded presence.
When more than a thousand ants were slaughtered, the queen ants who were watching the situation couldn't stand it and rushed over..
The queen ant is a B-grade monster..
Aside from its ability to spawn over a hundred ants a day, its hard shell and sharp teeth make it a powerful monster that is classified as B grade..
But that's all.
The situation of the queen ant was no different..
Like worker ants, like soldier ants.
When Roman Dmitry's sword ground their bodies, their once tough outer shell was sprayed with dark red blood..
Phuwak.
Kieeeeek.
the ants screamed.
It was overwhelming.
Fear was contagious as if imprinted on their cells, and they realized late that Roman Dmitry was something they could not handle..
‘If this is the level of disaster people are talking about…….’
Kwasik.
I trampled on the head of the queen ant fluttering on the floor..
Now I have decided.
‘There is no reason to hesitate from now on..’
After slaughtering all the ants in front of me.
Roman Dmitry will proceed with his plans without hesitation..
