Chapter 113

113fire disaster

After the cataclysm, humanity felt the need to attack the gate in advance to prevent the gate's dungeon break..

To achieve this, a technology was needed to identify the gate as soon as it occurred, and the technology used for this was space technology..

Orbital weapons, represented by the Rod of God, were commercialized, and reconnaissance satellites with powerful search capabilities covered Earth's orbit to search for gates 24 hours a day..

Starfield, a large gate reconnaissance satellite, is the largest space structure on Earth, a joint effort of space development countries from around the world..

This next-generation reconnaissance satellite, built through the cooperation of 20 countries around the world, including the United States, is the largest space structure on Earth at 150 meters and a space platform encompassing 27 satellites covering the world..

Observe and transmit information about space and Earth in real time.

That technological prowess is truly the sum of human wisdom. Space technology that surpasses this cannot exist, and if it does exist, it will never belong to Earth civilization..

"This is Star One. This is Star One! Respond wit!"

And the main communication room of Starfield. American astronaut Johnson urgently attempted to communicate with the Houston Mission Control Center..

[What's going on, Johnson?.]

These days, the U.S. space agency is in a very tense state..

This is because during the Jilin Province Orc coup incident, God's staff was hacked and he was severely reprimanded for not predicting the recent 6km comet's impact on Earth..

But it will be embarrassing for the space agency as well..

Who would have expected that the Staff of God, which boasts an invincible network, would be hacked at the same time as Russia's 5M65 Grizzly?.

Also, who would have guessed that an otherwise healthy comet would suddenly enter Earth's orbit and fall on Korea, and how could we have predicted that it would have led to the extinction of mankind if it had been so bad?.

Anyway, the incident occurred, and the organization was in a state of tension. Astronaut Johnson spent his days more immersed in observation missions than usual and discovered 'it'..

"Please check that there are no other satellites approximately 3km away from this satellite.!"

[3km? There's no way there's a satellite that close..]

The ground base, which was silent for a moment, soon gave a common sense answer..

[There are no other satellites near that satellite..]

"no! There is! What is that thing I see right now?!"

[What on earth is there??]

"At least 400m in length... ! Minimum mass of 2,000 tons or more! A structure presumed to be a particle accelerator is also visible. no way… Charged particle cannon?"

[ha… It's not April Fool's Day yet, Johnson..]

"It's true.!"

It's not even visible on radar. However, it was visible to the naked eye at close range. It even accelerates plasma particles and shoots something towards the Earth..

Even Johnson wouldn't have noticed it if it weren't for the light produced by the sublight speed firing of those blue particles..

"shit! I will take a picture and send it to you! Take a look and see for yourself!"

But Johnson didn't know. He knew that someone had already been listening in on his communications with the U.S. base in Houston, and that they had plenty of means of interfering with them..

"What, what? Why is my data not being transmitted??"

[Johnson… If you make a joke like this one more time, I will report it to the higher-ups. Why are you doing this when you already know the atmosphere here because of Hyesung?.]

"It's true.!"

Johnson was going crazy and running wild. But no one believed what he said.

-Information control completed.

Mansinjeon headquarters in Naju, Korea. Yapi prevented the spread of information from the satellite urgently launched for this operation..

Earth's military satellites are of a very low standard..

The destructive power of the weapon itself is at an acceptable level, but maximizing its power is something anyone can do if they hit it recklessly..

In reality, the important reconnaissance and communication security capabilities were poor..

Yapi launched a self-made satellite to provide more accurate information to Leon. It is not a low-orbit small satellite launched from the last gate, but a military satellite with full-scale attack weapons..

To be precise, it is planned to be developed into a war satellite that launches an integrated weapons platform from geostationary orbit rather than a satellite.…….

-Insufficient space-related laws. There are restrictions on development. Information control needs to be strengthened.

This barbaric Earth even had uncivilized laws for space development. So, we have no choice but to operate without being detected..

Aside from that, Yapi confirmed his previous record of shelling at the risk of information exposure..

- Completed sniping of 13 Class A field bosses. Confirmation of cessation of life of 1,322 criminals due to extensive damage to major battlefields.

A truly overwhelming criminal record. The logic circuit that assists strong artificial intelligence makes an opinion..

-Charged particle cannon particle accelerator cooling required. Needs further improvement.

-Failed to track enemy special object ‘Wandering Demon Sword’. Targeting blind spots caused by the planet's orbital period.

-There is a need to ascend to a geostationary orbit above 36,500km above ground..

-refusal. Charged particle cannon effective range: 450km. In case of emergency, ally support is not possible..

-Recommend replacing the main weapon with a new bomb. Destruction Armament SET available.

-refusal. Have to bear the damage to the city.

Due to Leon's personality, he will not tolerate blowing up an entire city just to catch a monster..

-Rocket launch vehicle acceptance work begins.

If so, what Yappy can do in this situation is limited. Yapi looked down at the pure white starlight armor that was still being pounded with the mechanical arm..

-Strict deadlines. Strict deadline.

Yapi continued to work, busily moving the mechanical arm. Process and confirm certain information at the same time.

-No observation in North Korea?

Something pitch black covered the northern part of the Korean Peninsula..

* * * *

"All monsters that attempted to enter downtown Tokushima were eliminated. What happened there??"

Takeda asked. Other hunters report one after another through his earphones..

[Minamijo's Merman horde has been dealt with..]

[Anansi's side has also been sorted out..]

The landing of tens of thousands of monsters due to Dungeon Break was definitely threatening..

However, in this area alone, there are seven Japanese S-class hunters and 200 A-class hunters, including Takeda. In addition, there are more than 3,000 hunters drawn from each branch..

Although a few A-class field bosses appear, they are only a slightly larger warm-up opponent in this place where there are many S-class hunters..

Takeda looked around at the bodies of Mermen piled up around him..

"On the Korean side?"

Still, they probably couldn't have processed it faster than they did. Although he did not show it, Takeda, who has a competitive spirit against Korean hunters, did not show it and confirmed the Korean side's situation..

[They say the battle ended thirty minutes ago. Both Miyazaki and Wakayama successfully prevented the landings..]

"……less than thirty minutes ago?"

fast. It was a bit strangely fast..

Since Korea's S-class hunters were small, Japanese hunters were attached to them..

Excluding hunters from the Tokyo and Hokkaido branches, there are only thirteen mobilized S-class hunters. Because six of them were assigned to Korea..

But they are not the main force. Even if they were the same S class, there was a big difference, and the six S class hunters on this side of Takeda are the strongest force in Japan..

However, they dealt with the monsters that landed faster than the Takeda team.?

'Were there few monsters that landed??'

No, even if that were the case, could there be this much of a difference? Takeda further inquired with the control center..

"What about the Lionheart King? Did he come out himself??"

[Waiting at Osprey.]

"……Then the queen?"

[Likewise, it is waiting. But… There was a strange 'barrage' from the sky…….]

'I guess the queen stepped up..'

The magician queen of the Kingdom of Spero. I don't know if he's a wizard, but I heard his skills are formidable..

Takeda, who knows what wonders the firepower of wizards can cause on the battlefield, thought that it was Beatrice who naturally dealt with the monsters that landed..

[Takeda.]

It was then. At the core of the control center, Chairman Kamiya, who oversees the Japan Federation of Japan, sent a personal communication to Takeda..

"Yes, Mr. Chairman.."

[4The team hasn't been responding since a while ago. Let’s check in advance before the monsters’ second landing..]

"Isn’t it possible that a magic swordsman has appeared??"

[The magic sword was not observed. A land shark, a boss-level entity, was only seen there..]

A- class field boss object. In terms of difficulty, it is a monster that is rated higher than the Orc warrior, but since team 4 has an S-class hunter Nishimori, there is no way it could have been defeated..

'Is the device broken?.'

This happens often in the field..

4The team's defense line is about 10 minutes away by car from Takeda. Takeda, an S-class hunter, can arrive in 2 minutes..

"Ishida, Fumio, you two, follow me. Just in case, issue a warning order to each team leader.."

"All right."

Takeda, known as the right-hand man of the Japan Federation of Japan Association Chairman Kamiya, was experienced and cautious. The remaining five S-class hunters will also move quickly according to the commands from the control center..

And Takeda arrived in the area with two A-class hunters... couldn't believe his own eyes.

"Damn it……."

Even the cool-headed Takeda reacts this way. The two hunters who followed twisted in shock..

"This doesn't make sense……."

"Nishimori-san was hit.?"

It was as he said. Twenty hunters from 4 teams who had lost contact were all found dead..

Some had their throats cut, while others were cut diagonally from the shoulder. There were corpses whose lower bodies were completely missing or were torn apart from the top of their heads..

"Phew……."

Takeda swallowed his sleep. The hunters of Team 4 are the elite of the elite that they have raised themselves. In particular, S-class Hunter Nishimori was the best swordsman in the Jeonilhyup.…….

Takeda looks down at the tragic corpses of his fellow hunters and honors them with a short moment of silence. And analyze it coolly..

'Strong. And destructive swordsmanship.'

There are schools of swordsmanship. It has become sharply different since the advent of superhumans called Hunters..

'Destructive and powerful swordsmanship. This is the swordsmanship of the light swordsman Cheon Jin-su..'

Cheon Jin-soo's swordsmanship, better suited to monsters than to humans, was famous. Even in person-to-person combat, everything was destroyed with an overwhelming light strike..

A fighting technique that uses the Hunter's unique superhuman movements to run around and spread destructive killing techniques. A sloppy technique is destroyed without even a moment to display it..

There is no way Cheon Jinsu attacked Japanese hunters, so there is only one answer..

"Takeda. 4 teams were wiped out. It's a magic sword. The magic swordsman has landed."

Cheon Ji-ho, a genius swordsman who was the successor to Gwanggeomja. It refers to the magic swordsman of the time..

"How on earth……."

"Takeda-san! look here!"

Fumio urgently called Takeda. Where he pointed was a huge monster... There was a body of a land shark, and the body was strange..

"There are traces of protruding from the inside of the boat.."

"no way……."

To avoid detection, they were swallowed by monsters, and after landing, they tore open their stomachs and came out.?

"Damn it, I didn't do anything. Why are you acting like this all of a sudden??"

Among the six generations of magic swordsmen, there was no magic swordsman who behaved like this. That's right, the former demonic swordsmen were subjugated in less than two years... Will such strategic activities become possible in the fourth year of activity??

'Why now??'

Unanswered questions were buried with the next sad news..

[2I can't contact the team!]

* * * *

"The magic sword appeared!"

2Lee Yong-wan and his group, who were preparing for the landing, blinked at the urgent communication..

"A magic sword? We couldn't confirm it through satellite reconnaissance.!"

"Well, that was… There are reports that it appears to have come out of the stomach of a monster.…!"

"Why are you doing something you shouldn't do??"

The gate summoning, as well as the actions of the magic sword and magic swordsman, were completely different from before. But regardless of that, the S-class hunters, who were acting as a separate unit, had to leave immediately..

"Which side did it come from? Shikoku? wakayama?"

"It's Shikoku! Three S-class hunters from Japan have already been defeated! Takeda Hunter is rallying all the teams!"

"I've already been hit three times?"

Is there any bad news like this? Lee Yong-wan hesitated for a moment, but Cheon Jin-soo showed his anger and shouted..

"Let's leave quickly!!"

The Osprey took flight. Lee Yong-wan asked as the tiltrotor transport aircraft purchased for 15 billion yen per unit guided them over Shikoku Island, where the Takeda team was located..

"The pantheon! Is your Majesty the Lionheart King also coming??"

Cheon Jin-soo and Kang Jin-seong glance at each other harshly, saying that they are looking for Leon on the opposite side, but Ha Yu-ri, Hwang Geum-cheol, and Hwang Yeon-ha look like they fully understand..

"uh… that is."

"Well, what is it? There's no way that guy could have been harmed, right?!"

"It landed briefly due to a device malfunction, but was shot down by monsters' long-distance attacks as it took off.……."

"Holy shit!"

It wasn't something I said out of concern for Leon. Even if you drop that monster from space, it looks like it will survive..

The problem is that Leon's joining is delayed..

"Well, can’t I just go??"

"What kind of nonsense is this guy?!"

Cheon Jin-su rolled his eyes and slapped him, but Lee Yong-wan was anxious..

He is the embodiment of self-reliance and a well-established businessman. His senses were now warning him that it was ‘dangerous.’.

However, the Cheonjinsu in front of you is more scary than turning away from this. Above all, the transport plane has already departed..

"Landing!"

The rotor wing of the tiltrotor transport aircraft was erected vertically and approached the skies over Shikoku Island. Since there was no wide open space to land, Korea's S-class hunters had to jump from 50 meters in the air..

"Oh no…!"

Cheon Jin-su and Kang Jin-seong land. And in addition to S-class, there are 50 elite A-classes in Korea. Takeda greeted them..

"Thank you for coming."

Takeda was pleased with the landing of the Korean hunters. He gathered all the teams in one place while the second team lost contact..

"Wasn't it originally about taking time to secure a position against the magic swordsman??"

Cheon Jin-su reprimanded Takeda for not carrying out a delayed war as originally planned. But he also seems like he can't help it..

"This guy was stronger than I imagined. If he had gathered separately, he would have been defeated individually. In fact, three teams have already been defeated.."

"Only three S-class hunters... It's a painful loss.."

Takeda nodded at Yongwan Lee’s words. Although Japan has 38 S-class hunters, its land area is four times that of South Korea..

The loss of an S-class hunter is bound to be painful. So we had no choice but to urgently gather our strength..

"Anyway, there are five left here and four in Japan, so there are nine S-class hunters. Well, wouldn’t this be worth it?."

"Why am I taking it out??"

"Eungjun S level."

"See... It's because the system is running late."

There are not only S-class hunters here. There were more than 100 A-level hunters working as a team. Even if it was a magic sword, charging here would be foolish.──

"……!"

"……?!"

The starting point was Lee Yong-wan. Goosebumps that make the hairs on your entire body stand up. Chills running down my spine and my heart pounding..

Yongwan Lee has had similar experiences twice..

The first time was when I faced Geobrick's divine punishment, and the second time was when the Demon Grand Duke Rakshar appeared.…….

"Nonsense……."

Could there be more such a presence in this world than Leon? Yongwan Lee was just the beginning..

Ha Yu-ri, Hwang Geum-cheol, Hwang Yeon-ha, Kang Jin-seong, Cheon Jin-su... In addition, even Japan's strong players came to a halt in succession..

A presence that is felt even though it cannot be seen. Even the S-class hunters, the heroes of the reversal, have their hands and feet shaking..

"mind……."

Magic swordsman. A presence across the street watching over a dozen S-class hunters and over a hundred A-class hunters..

Lee Yong-wan’s complexion became pale. Beyond his gaze, there is a demon holding a sword..

The blood-soaked magic swordsman opened his heavy mouth towards them..

"A cruel massacre... merciless destruction……."

Acquire it.

Blood, skulls... Stand on the cusp of destruction.

"I—I am the Slaughter—Grand Duke——Akasha. All life—is destruction.."

[【 Proclamation of slaughter 】 dominates the space.]
