Capítulo 228: 642
[Chapter 168]
[Still, The Night Passes (5)]
Southern Gangbuk, Samgakji.
Players were engaged in battle with monsters coming up from the direction of Wonhyo Bridge.
"There's no end... How much longer do we have to fight before those guys stop coming out?"
Monsters kept surging endlessly.
Fighting those guys in the middle of the night without being able to properly light up was nothing short of a very dangerous act.
So Players focused on creating a frontline to prevent those guys from invading further.
However, as the battle dragged on, Players were gradually becoming exhausted.
To make matters worse─
[KK Clan 3rd Party telepathist Yeo Eun-young relays navigator Gu Hye-min's message to Players in the Samgakji direction. At the current time of 3:52 AM, an army estimated to be at least Level 6 has been confirmed to be moving north towards Samgakji. Players near Samgakji should confront the army...]
Additional monster appearances.
Moreover, at least Level 6.
Players couldn't help but tremble upon receiving the telepathy.
It's impossible, we don't have the strength to hold out anymore.
Nevertheless, if they retreated, who knows what would happen to the people evacuated to the rear.
"Damn...!"
Reinforcements were needed.
But who could they receive help from?
Players who had been swaggering around in Yongsan-gu until now only told them to guard the frontline while they worried about their own safety and operated in party units.
Moreover, when those guys invaded, most of them became a disorganized rabble and fled in a hurry.
In such a situation, who on earth could they receive help from?
Even KK Clan, based in the neighboring Mapo-gu, was in a situation where they were overwhelmed just protecting their jurisdiction.
"Those guys are coming! Casters on standby!"
"Navigators quickly identify information about those guys and relay it to the surroundings!"
It's hopeless.
People sighed seeing the monsters with forms that couldn't be determined as toads or frogs, which had now begun to appear.
"─Vanguard prepare to charge! Midline quickly move the wounded to the rear!"
Those guys possessed power completely different from the ones they had fought so far.
The distance with those guys gradually decreased.
Now the frontline had become meaningless.
The Player commanding the frontline finally gave the order to rush in and fight those guys.
Players prepared to die.
Right then─
─Han Mae-ryu Ultimate, Snow Dragon
One More Time
Just as they were about to jump into the battlefield.
Suddenly a snowstorm soared high into the sky from the middle of the battlefield.
The area froze instantly.
""""...."""
Blue hair.
Players discovered a woman who had entered under the lighting.
A woman with a silver spear was nimbly moving and slaughtering those guys.
It wasn't just the woman.
People wearing the same clothes as the woman were rushing through the battlefield.
Blood Claw
Crescent Moon Slash
They couldn't be distinguished in skill.
The two men fought almost as if chasing each other, while covering each other's openings and alternating positions front and back.
The prowess of the people who appeared starting with them was truly amazing.
Right then─
"─Ugh, flying is really difficult."
"Thanks, Ara."
Suddenly on the frontline they were guarding.
A woman with ivory-colored hair and a woman with a ribbon in her hair landed on the ground.
The woman with the ribbon smiled brightly.
"I'm Jung Ha-yang, Pandora Clan sub-lord. I've come with clan members to provide support."
""""...."""
Pandora Clan.
It was a name they had heard before.
A new clan in Yongsan-gu.
The clans in Yongsan-gu had greatly ridiculed Pandora Clan.
But seeing them active on the battlefield, people couldn't possibly ridicule them now.
"We just received KK Clan's telepathy on the way here, are those monsters over there the army estimated to be Level 6?"
"Yes, yes... Those are the ones. So we tried to look up information in the library, but we couldn't even access the library, maybe because the current network conditions aren't good..."
Jung Ha-yang asked then.
The navigator who had been dazed until now came forward and spoke.
Jung Ha-yang nodded.
Then she looked out at the frontline.
She assessed the war situation.
"There are many monsters I'm seeing for the first time. It seems the monster at the very back is leading the group."
"Yes. Judging by how it's sitting still and just exuding pressure, it's clearly the boss of the group. But the information about that guy isn't stored in the library I have... If I could directly access the library and search, it wouldn't be difficult to find, but currently..."
While listening to the navigator's explanation.
Jung Ha-yang went "Hmm" and fell into thought.
Soon she opened her mouth.
"I'll try accessing." "What? But the current mana conditions..."
"Please wait a moment." "..."
Jung Ha-yang's answer.
She immediately took out the terminal she had kept in her holster.
A terminal that looked like a smartphone.
Inside the terminal was a medium that could access the library.
"Ah..."
Her whole body was enveloped in light.
It was maintained for a long time.
The navigator realized she had accessed the library.
How on earth....
The navigator doubted his eyes.
It was an environment where accessing the library was impossible because mana was thickly spread.
Nevertheless, the fact that Jung Ha-yang accessed meant she could find a way to access the library despite environmental factors.
No way.
A kid who just graduated from the academy can already do something like that?
Skills that even navigators renowned in the industry don't easily attempt.
If you found the wrong path, you might never regain consciousness.
Yet judging by how Jung Ha-yang accessed the library without any issues, she must have the skills to overcome such risks.
The navigator thought so.
Then he realized.
"Come to think of it, that kid was <Index>'s <The Seed>... Wait, then does she have a terminal with a grade that can access <Index> too? There shouldn't be many people who have terminals that can directly face the Twelve Seats..."
<Index>'s <The Seed> of the Twelve Seats.
The navigator naturally understood.
So that's why she's doing <The Seed>.
The navigator waited in a daze for her to return to reality.
It didn't take long.
While navigators throughout Gangbuk would have taken a long time trying to access the library.
The time her consciousness flew seemed to be less than 10 minutes.
"I just confirmed the army's information with <Index>'s help. So telepathists, please relay my words to nearby Players. Seo-na." "Yes, Ha-yang. What should I relay?"
As expected.
Jung Ha-yang had met <Index> in the Player Library.
The navigator was astonished.
How many people in Korea could casually visit <Index>?
The navigator gave up thinking and decided to record Jung Ha-yang's message.
[Pandora Clan telepathist Jin Seo-na. Relaying the words of the clan's navigator Jung Ha-yang to Players near Samgakji. The group of the army currently swarming from the direction of Wonhyo Bridge is estimated to be Level 5 on average, so please be especially careful. On the other hand, I also inform you that some monsters possess deadly poison that is difficult to treat. Lastly─.]
That day, Jung Ha-yang's message was delivered to people located in Samgakji.
People remembered the names of the telepathist who clearly relayed the situation in a voice without any noise in a situation where communication was impossible, and the navigator who provided accurate information.
[─I inform you that the army commander has been confirmed. The army commander is a subspecies of the Great Toad Chief, and its rank is Level 4. Players facing the Great Toad Chief should be cautious of deadly poison. This was telepathist Jin Seo-na.]
☆
Southern Gangbuk, towards Hannam-dong.
Eun-ha, who was flying through the sky chasing after Ye-gyeong, clicked his tongue.
It won't even face me.
Ye-gyeong only looked at him once at first.
Eun-ha frowned watching the creature that was ignoring his existence while cutting through the night sky.
It's not easy to move in the air. If only I had somewhere to put my feet, I'd give that guy a big hit...
It wasn't just Ye-gyeong.
There were also small fry monsters following Ye-gyeong around it.
As a result, Eun-ha was in a situation where he couldn't get too close to Ye-gyeong.
He wasn't accustomed to aerial combat either.
So Eun-ha could only chase after it while being wary.
At this rate, it'll be Seongdong-gu...
Soon he realized where he was flying now.
The border between Hannam-dong and Geumho-dong.
If he went any further forward, he would enter Seongdong-gu.
It wasn't Pandora Clan's territory.
"But I can't just turn back because it's not our territory..."
Should he keep chasing it like this?
Eun-ha pondered.
Meanwhile, Ye-gyeong entered Geumho-dong.
That's when it happened.
─Boom!!
Somewhere in Geumho-dong.
Suddenly a huge energy surged up and attacked Ye-gyeong's belly.
A massive explosion that followed immediately after.
And bullets that kept flying in continuously even after the explosion.
The smell of gunpowder filled the air.
As a bonus, mana residue was floating around visibly.
Whiiieeeaaaooo....
Ye-gyeong staggered.
The head of the creature that had been flying horizontally from the ground pointed downward.
─Boom!!
But the bombardment didn't stop.
Rather, as if confirming that Ye-gyeong had fallen, even more powerful firepower was applied than before.
"Is it <Silent>..."
In case he might get hit by a bomb.
Eun-ha hovered in place, staying as far away from the creature as possible.
Then he looked for lights occasionally visible below.
He saw a flag fluttering greatly, receiving light.
An eagle crest wrapped in storm.
It was Tempest Clan.
The clan with jurisdiction over Seongdong-gu had immediately taken action as soon as they identified Ye-gyeong's presence.
Probably the Player who just delivered a heavy blow to Ye-gyeong was Twelve Seats <Silent> Yu Su-jin.
If <Silent> is there, I don't need to cross over to Seongdong-gu.
They won't be able to take that guy down, but they should be able to defend to some extent.
Eun-ha finished his judgment.
Seeing Tempest Clan's response, there didn't seem to be much need to worry.
Perhaps Tempest Clan, which mainly handles firearms, has good compatibility against Ye-gyeong, which is capable of aerial combat.
"Let's go back."
Ye-gyeong can't be taken down alone.
Many Players need to join forces and conduct a planned raid.
Therefore, until a raid is decided, there was no way but for each district to somehow block it.
Eun-ha immediately changed direction.
He decided to leave Seongdong-gu to Tempest Clan and return to Itaewon.
Of course, before that─
─If not now, there won't be another chance. I need to quickly take care of it while I'm moving alone.
Flapping his wings greatly.
Eventually Eun-ha flew to Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu.
Hannam-dong, one of the wealthy neighborhoods where many chaebol are gathered.
The Galaxy Group's main house was also located in Hannam-dong.
☆
It was a bolt from the blue.
<Great Tree> Seon Gi-jun rushed out of the dormitory after hearing a sound that naturally alerted all five senses while sleeping.
"What... What's going on?"
"Leader! Did you hear that sound!?"
"Damn it, who's banging on the window in the middle of the night, what's all this fuss suddenly!?"
Seon Gi-jun, who had come to Geumho-dong on a business trip, was busy assessing the situation while checking on his colleagues coming out belatedly.
"The Cocoon has collapsed..."
Then he could realize that the Cocoon had collapsed.
And that <Iron Fortress> Moon Jun had activated protective magic covering the skies of Gangbuk in its place.
But now even that had disappeared, and the monsters whose movements had slowed were starting to rampage again.
Did something happen to <Iron Fortress>? It's not strange for there to be a problem after using magic to cover all of Gangbuk, but...
I just hope nothing's wrong with <Iron Fortress>.
Seon Gi-jun sighed.
As soon as he sensed the anomaly, he gathered equipment and groaned while blocking monsters entering the residential area.
They barely managed to defend the residential area, but they couldn't completely block it with just his and his party members' strength.
It was only a matter of time before it was breached.
"This won't do. There are too many of them. We have no choice but to give up this place after evacuating people!"
The roads are too narrow.
Both attack and defense are difficult.
On the other hand, small-bodied monsters like goblins were attacking using the narrow roads and walls.
There was plenty of cover, so monsters were even throwing projectile weapons.
In such a situation, they also had to protect people.
Eventually, Seon Gi-jun decided to retreat with the people.
Right then, he felt a huge presence.
─Whiiiiieeeeeaaaaooooo!!
A sound like a heartbeat ringing.
A giant whale passing over their heads as if it was none of their business.
Seon Gi-jun and the people froze.
Did such a thing invade...
A monster that must be at least Level 3.
Seon Gi-jun realized it was the mastermind of this commotion.
Only after it passed did Seon Gi-jun come to his senses and bite his lip.
Learning of the existence of that huge creature, he became worried about his daughter Seon Mi-ye, who was attending the academy.
If such a thing goes to the academy, something terrible will happen. If Mi-ye is harmed by that thing, I...
Monsters were swarming all over Gangbuk, so the academy must be the same.
However, currently there were many powerful people at the academy, including <Empress> and <Sword Empress>.
Nevertheless, that guy is on a different level.
If they let that guy rampage around Gangbuk like this, even the academy might not be safe.
No, my daughter won't be safe.
No─
─I can't just stand by and let Mi-ye live in a world with such a thing while I'm alive.
Seon Gi-jun gripped the shield and sword in both hands tightly.
As a father, he wanted to create a safe and peaceful world for his daughter.
So that thing must be taken down.
When he thought that─
─Boom!!
A flash of light surged up somewhere nearby.
The creature that took a direct hit staggered.
At that moment, Seon Gi-jun's destination was as good as decided.
"Move to where that light is! Go there and join forces so that such a thing can't lay a hand on our kids!"
""""Oh!!""""
People jokingly call it.
Donghae Clan's married men's unit.
At Seon Gi-jun's shout, his colleagues responded loudly.
