Chapter 202
Episode 202 [ Monarch (3) ]
A fight continued in the passageway that became a sea of blood. Ratmen were hit by fists and flew in all directions, and the winged lion tore them apart.
Meanwhile, the girl grabbed a spear and rushed at the armored Ratman.
The Ratman Knight, wearing armor made of monster skin, swung his sword at the small human running towards him.
Boom.
It was a sword wielded by a knight-level monster. The sword swept across the front, making a tremendous noise.
The black girl’s body was cut in half.
Ratman expected blood to spurt from the girl’s body.
However, the sword only passed through the girl’s body as if it were cutting through thin air.
The girl’s body seemed to fade a little as the sword passed by, but it was hard to notice that in this chaos.
The sword swung and the girl took a step forward. The spear extended towards Ratman.
Kwasik!
The spear lodged in his shoulder, which was not protected by armor.
The attack didn’t work and I made a mistake, but I was still a knight-level rat man. The spear barely pierced Ratman’s skin.
But the girl kept pushing in the spear that was barely stuck. It’s as if it would pierce my arm if I applied too much force.
Ratman held out his other hand with a puzzled expression on his face. I was planning on crushing the girl’s head.
But even as he held out his arm, Ratman had a strange thought. It was a spear that barely pierced the skin. It was said that there was a difference in class. There was no reason for the defense shield to be breached.
However, there was no protective shield visible on Ratman’s arm as he advanced towards the girl.
Tudadadada!
Bullets rained down on the Ratman driver.
It was a mana bullet that a knight-level shield might be able to withstand to some extent. But now that there was no shield, the bullet only shattered Ratman’s body.
Pieces of flesh fell off and blood was splattered. Flesh and blood splattered on Isabel’s body. Isabel didn’t mind.
She pulled the spear out of the ratman’s collapsing body.
-It was dangerous just now! Don’t overdo it!
“I’ll be careful.”
Shane’s worried voice came from the earphones. But she had no intention of stopping.
The distance widened further. I felt like a fool for being happy because my grade went up.
Uncle Kyung-hoon was too strong. The power to wipe out hundreds of monsters with a swing of a sword. The power was on a different level than she thought.
It wasn’t enough yet.
Delicious meals, comfortable sleep, training and care. If you can’t keep up after receiving all of this, you will only be disappointing Uncle Kyunghoon and Uncle Shane.
That couldn’t be possible. I had to try harder. What a hope and opportunity. I couldn’t be left alone again, like the nightmare I had every day. But she couldn’t fight any longer.
The subway corridor was quiet. There were no more monsters standing unharmed.
The fight ended while Shane and I managed to catch two knight-level rat men.
It was a great thing, but Isabelle felt regretful.
Crumble.
There was still one monster left in front of Kyung-hoon. He was an ordinary rat man with one leg blown off.
Rat Man was glaring at Kyung Hoon, and Kyung Hoon was also looking at the ordinary Rat Man without killing him.
That rat man was a monster that Kyung-hoon deliberately kept alive.
-Why did you keep me alive?
“This guy’s movement of mana in his body is different from other guys. “It feels like it’s somehow connected to the outside world.”
Kirik.
At Kyung-hoon’s words, Ratman made the sound of wind. And Ratman’s eyes turned black.
[amazing. What are the characteristics of mana? It’s really amazing. A person close to the level of a monarch appears. Such food. There is nothing else to worry about. So much effort. I was compensated.]
The image was stuck in everyone’s mind.
It was a language with a sense of shape and geometry, but it was not difficult to understand.
Crumble!
The transformed Bailey growled at Ratman, and Isabel’s expression hardened.
She had felt a similar image only once. The day New York City was destroyed. It was an image that brought frustration to everyone.
But Kyung-hoon just narrowed his eyes and looked around Rat Man.
“This is not the main body. Have you been possessed? Or is it another way?”
[We are coming to find you. Wait.]
Blood was pouring from the severed leg, but Ratman’s expression did not change.
Kyung-hoon swung his fist.
puck!
Ratman’s head exploded.
As my head exploded, the mana slipped out of my head. That mana disappeared beyond the ceiling.
“It’s like this. “I think I know roughly what he’s like.”
Kyunghoon looked at the ceiling and made a face. It was an annoying type of enemy. The first monarch we met in the United States was a completely different type of monarch than in Korea.
Then Eve opened her mouth.
-The drone unit made contact with monsters at 34th Street Station.
bang! bang!
34th Street Stairs at Penn Station.
The drones that were flying up the stairs fell one by one.
-Monsters have entered the square at xxx station. Drones are being shot down.
Rat men were pouring in. Although the drones tried to change direction, they were unable to avoid the Ratmen who filled the narrow space. Most of the drones were destroyed, and only one drone remained and exited the station entrance.
Weeeeeee.
The drone flew into the sky.
Wow.
The rat men threw their weapons, but the drone dodged the flying swords and spears with brilliant movements.
The drone soared high and scanned the ground with a camera.
The streets were full of rat men. Although many Letmen had entered the subway station, the streets were still full of them. Ratmen were flocking to the subway station.
-The number of identified individuals is currently 4233 4345 4481… and continues to increase.
-About 70% are regular Ratmen, 20% are Elite Ratmen, and the rest are Knight-level Ratmen.
-Some knight-level ratmen ride giant rats. And monsters that look like bats are flying in the sky.
Wow!
A rat monster with its wings spread flew towards the drone.
The drone changed direction quickly, but was unable to avoid the monster.
Kwasik.
The drone was smashed by the monster’s claws.
-The last drone has been destroyed. Surviving spider robots are keeping watch. The monster’s lead is now down to the 34th Street Station platform.
A spider robot attached itself to the wall, landed on the rail, and watched the Ratmen pouring into the passageway.
It was as if a huge wave of rats was pouring into the sewer.
Among the monsters running like that, several Ratmen turned their heads towards the spider robot.
bang!
The spider robot was smashed.
*
Eve reported to Kyung-hoon.
-I don’t know how I noticed. All drones and spider robots were destroyed.
Kyung-hoon shook his head at Eve’s words.
“It would be like that if you were a monarch.”
Kyung-hoon asked Eve.
“How long does it take to get here?”
-Calculating the speed of the advance, I think we will arrive here in about 30 minutes.
Kyunghoon looked back at the group.
It was unfortunate, but I felt like I had to run away.
Now that I had risen to the SS level, I felt like I could take on the monarch, but this time my opponent was not the giant monster I had encountered before.
The enemy was an army of over a thousand people.
Escape was also a problem.
Gyeonghoon’s portal was not yet allowing living creatures to pass through except Gyeonghoon. No one else had moved through the portal yet… Kyung-hoon and Shane were able to escape through spatial movement, but Isabelle and Bailey were the problem.
-How about going up to a place close to the ground, where the master overcharges a hole, and then Bailey takes Isabelle and flies out of Manhattan?
“I heard there were flying guys in the sky.”
-But for now, that method seems the best.
It seemed like a risky method.
“Is that because you’re escaping now?”
Isabel, who was listening to Kyung-hoon and Eve, cautiously opened her mouth.
-Oh, Isabel, how did you get out of here when you were young? It’s not like I went to that subway station.
“There is a sewer pipe close to the wall of the subway station here. It went through the wall, into a sewer pipe, and out into the river. “I was confident in swimming, but I got caught in the river and almost died.”
Everyone looked at Isabelle’s words. A way to escape like that at such a young age. It was hard to believe.
“Can you do it again?”
“I am confident.”
“So is Bailey the only one left?”
bruise?
The puppy, which had become small again, tilted its head.
“I think Bailey would be fine with that, too…”
Isabelle began again.
-What do you mean?
“This time, as the level increased, the characteristics changed a little. Before, I could do it alone, but now I can do it with other people.”
-Even living animals like Bailey?
“Yes.”
Kyunghoon’s expression brightened.
If this were the case, I thought I could change my plan.
Kyunghoon looked at Shane.
“Can you swim by any chance?”
Shane shook his head. There was no way I could swim.
bruise! bruise!
Bailey barked excitedly.
Shane said, scratching at the camera.
“Bailey says she’s a good swimmer…she’ll take me with her.”
Kyung-hoon looked at the robot and the dog alternately with a bewildered expression.
“How on earth do you understand me? And doesn’t Bailey understand what people say?”
These were colleagues I couldn’t understand at all.
If Bailey could transform and swim with the two on her back, there would be no problem.
Kyung-hoon said while looking at Isabelle.
“thank god. Isabelle made things easier. It’s great that this is a new trait. Then I’ll ask for Shane and Bailey.”
“Yes!!”
Isabel answered vigorously.
The dog, the robot, and the girl left the platform.
As his colleagues disappeared up the stairs, Kyung-hoon opened his mouth.
“Did you say it well?”
-It was a bit stuttering, but you did a good job.
“Shane or Eve can tell you. “It’s so awkward when I do it..”
– Look at what Isabel likes. The master had to do it.
“But…”
-More than that, since the master has risen in rank, his characteristics must have evolved.
“Hmm…I guess it won’t be easy since the level is high.”
-Ah yes. All right.
Kyung-hoon got angry at the stupid answer.
“wait. “I’ll find it soon.”
It seemed like Eve had figured out how to control Kyung-hoon.
Kurrrrrrrr.
About 20 minutes later, a huge noise and vibration were heard far away in the tunnel.
The Letman army has finally arrived.
Kyung-hoon stood alone at the bottom of the platform and looked into the tunnel.
“Is this good?”
His clothes had changed.
It was all bulletproof equipment worn by the dead mutants.
Black body armor, black gloves and protective gear. All of the protective gear in the set had mana stones embedded in them.
It was all bulletproof equipment worn by the dead mutants.
As the mana flowed, a transparent shield appeared over the armor, the color of the body became similar to the surroundings, and the body became several times lighter.
“It would be a shame to just throw it away. “The safe will be okay, right?”
-yes. This is a sturdy safe that can withstand earthquakes of 8 or higher. Even if the entire Manhattan building and basement collapse, the vault will be safe.
“good.”
Kyunghoon’s face brightened.
He infused mana into the sword he held in both hands.
One was a newly taken out Samjeongsword and the other was a Samjeongsword that had been broken in half.
The Samjeonggeom that was broken in half was the sword that the mutant had used a while ago.
Before, it was an item that could no longer be used, but now it is different.
Light began to grow from the cut blade.
“Now, shall we go on a rampage until everyone gathers?”
Kyung-hoon smiled as he checked the mana bombs attached to every corner.
