Chapter 53
Episode 53 [Test (2)]
Boom!
Kyung-hoon broke the wall and flew into the yard of the house. It was also impossible to land gracefully. Kyung-hoon rolled on the dirt floor and got up.
“Tsk!”
Kyung-hoon spit out the blood that had accumulated in his mouth.
“Damn, I said it was a work robot!”
-It is true that it is a work robot.
“Then what are those movements that he is making!”
Outside the collapsed wall, a work robot was retracting its outstretched arm. At the end of the arm was a huge iron ball that looked like a battering ram. Gyeong-hoon was hit by the iron ball and was sent flying. The way it was withdrawing its fist did not look like a work robot. The robot was holding Mabo
. He was holding power while holding his hand. At first glance, he looked like a martial artist.
– It is one of the hunter martial arts movements. The movement was readjusted to suit the size of the robot. It is a considerable skill.
“No, you are praising something like that.”
-It seems like the person controlling the robot is an expert. This is a proper hunter combat technique.
“It’s true that I came here to find that, but I never thought the opponent would be a robot. Moreover, I never thought that I would be beaten with that fighting skill.”
Boom! Rumble.
The wall on the side collapsed and another robot appeared. This time, it was a robot with huge claws. The robot lunged at Kyung-hoon, holding out both claws that resembled a forklift. “Damn it! You’re not even giving me a chance to rest!
”
Kyung-hoon swung his sword at the incoming robot.
Ugh.
Patterns were created on the robot’s claws, and a small translucent shield appeared at the top.
Jump!
Fortunately, the shield was broken by the sword, and one claw of the black robot was cut off in half.
But Kyung-hoon’s expression was not good. The sword was stuck in the claw.
“shit!”
He covered his face with his other arm. The robot’s opposite claw stuck onto the arm.
Quang!
The wall broke again and Kyung-hoon was thrown out of the house.
-Managen that is not directly driven by the Awakened is not very efficient. It is of the same type as the Manageine engraved on the shield item, but its deployment time is short and its performance is not even half as good.
“I almost lost my sword because of that class.”
Kyung-hoon shook his throbbing arm. Kyung-hoon’s arm ended up hurting thanks to the shield. It was a shield that could block bullets, but the impact of such a bundle of iron was another problem.
Gyeonghoon, who barely got up, didn’t wait for the robot and launched himself in the opposite direction. A head-on confrontation was impossible. One-on-one, we could deal with each other, but the enemy was not one.
“Could it be that this town uses defensive manajin for work robot arms?”
-No, I heard that it is installed on combat robots, but not on work robots.”
A combat robot. Kyung-hoon couldn’t bear to ask more questions.
“If head-on combat doesn’t work, I’ll have to fight in my own way.”
Kyung-hoon disappeared into the battlefield created in the shape of a forest. Work robots stomped after him. Time passed.
MK
-78, the work golem of the Awakened Training Center, activated its infrared vision and looked around the training ground. Heat sources in sight. There was nothing.
The other golems that were moving next to me just kept moving the camera on the top as if nothing was caught.
Now there were only two left.
They couldn’t even see the humans and all the other golems were destroyed. The one controlling the robot also knew what was going on. I didn’t really understand. But things just went according to plan. The golems moved forward cautiously. It
was when the golem next to them started moving forward again.
Ting!
A sound of something breaking was heard. The golem that had cut the rope could not understand. However, what was broken was a tripwire for booby traps.
Kwaang!
A large explosion occurred on the ground where the golem was standing. The lower body exploded, and the golem with only the upper body left fluttered its arms.
-Loader 77 destroyed. Enemy location impossible to determine. 78 Loader’s personal view Exploration stopped. Detectors throughout the training center activated.
Instructions were given to the last remaining golem. The infrared camera turned off and the regular camera looked down at its feet.
– I was caught.
At that moment, Kyung-hoon jumped out from the dirt. The robot’s clawed feet It struck down at Kyung-hoon.
Kyung-hoon was a little faster. The sword pierced the robot’s chest before the claws could reach it.
Tang!
Had I been overexerting myself? The sword that pierced the chest broke right off. The
claws hit Kyung-hoon.
“Pfft!”
Kyung-hoon was thrown into a tree behind him.
But Kyung-hoon immediately took out a pistol. It was a pistol with only a few rounds left.
Wow.
Fortunately, the robot stopped with its claws extended. The broken sword succeeded in piercing the golem’s mana stone.
Blood was flowing from my nose. Kyung-hoon wiped his nose and looked at the back of his bloody hand with a dumbfounded expression.
“I barely won with an expedient method. If they had sensitive noses, there would have been no way.”
Kyung-hoon, leaning against a tree, was covered in mud. To hide his body, he camouflaged himself with the mud next to the ditch.
-He was able to win because the opponent followed the strange rule of only using the robot’s own force and sensors.
“That’s right. “Why did you get caught in the end?”
-When there was only one robot left, we used the detector installed in the training center.
“If you want to protect it, protect it until the end. Why is that like that?”
-It’s hard for me to understand, too.
As the two were chewing on the enemy who was controlling the robot for a while, a voice rang out throughout the dome. [You have
completed the combat test following the aptitude test. Please come to the control room to check the results.]
Cover your nose with a tissue . Kyung-hoon chuckled as he blocked the room.
“I was going to go even if you didn’t tell me.”
He stood up and took out a dagger.
“I guess I should take what I need before that.”
Gyeonghoon walked around the forest, opening robots’ chests and pulling out mana stones.
The last robot was stabbed by a sword and the mana stones were broken, but five mana stones were added to his backpack.
Gyeonghoon then put the broken sword into his backpack with a gloomy face.
Item He didn’t even have the skills to make it properly, but the equipment kept breaking. I’m sorry to the people in the association, but I felt like I had to quickly retrieve the sword and shield they had lent me. After some time, he arrived on the other side of the dome. The mud he put on his body hardened and he turned into a clay doll
. Fortunately,
there was no disturbance since the work robot was destroyed.
The floor of the control room was visible high above my head.
And in front of Kyunghoon was a wide open door.
[Theory training room]
“Are you inviting me? I can’t figure it out. “It’s the other person…”
Inside the door was a small auditorium with a projector turned on. On the other side of the auditorium, an emergency exit was visible.
‘Are we going up that way?’
A video was playing on the auditorium screen.
A person was speaking while holding a sword and a shield. Behind him was the battlefield unfolding behind Kyung-hoon.
[This time, I will explain how to use the shield and sword using mana. . Swords and shields engraved with manajin are strengthened using the awakened mana. You can use enhanced abilities without special skills, but if you can handle mana, you can see other effects.] The awakened person on the screen shows how to use the item properly
. He was explaining.
-This is important information. We are currently saving the video. If there are more videos like this, it will definitely be of great help to the master as well as other awakened people. Kyunghoon
looked at the emergency exit at the back of the auditorium.
“If you go up the floor , “Will these videos and lectures continue?”
It was said to be a theoretical training center, so there couldn’t be just one.
But Kyung-hoon took a step back.
“The level of bait throwing is no joke.”
What Eve said may be true, but coming all this way and doing as she was told didn’t fit his personality.
Kyung-hoon took out a rifle with a grenade launcher from his backpack. It was a weapon he had stolen from the mercenaries he killed.
He put the grenade in and pointed the muzzle upward. He snapped. I aimed at the protruding floor of the control room.
Thump!
I fired the grenade launcher, and the bullets shot up into the sky. As the cannonballs went up into the sky, they got slower and slower.
– I don’t think they would reach me.
“I said the range was 400 meters… but maybe that wasn’t enough? ?”
The shell fell back down without touching the floor of the control room. However, thanks to Kyung-hoon shooting at the wall, it hit the wall instead of going down a few meters.
Quang!
An explosion occurred on the lower wall of the control room. Lights and equipment attached to the wall poured down and the control room swayed.
“this.”
Kyung-hoon also hurriedly escaped, and the falling objects created dust on the ground.
Kyung-hoon hurriedly ducked into the opened door, but quickly came out again.
Grumble.
This was because a loud noise was heard from the emergency exit of the auditorium. It wasn’t a good sound for Kyung-hoon to hear.
“There’s nothing we can do. If the grenade launcher doesn’t reach us, we have no choice but to use human resources.”
Gyeonghun took out the sword that was broken in half from his backpack and tied the bomb that Jin Shawei had made to the sword.
After injecting mana into the bomb, he threw it upwards with force.
Whoosh.
The broken sword seemed to have helped him maintain his balance well. The bomb was hastily made. The sword soared straight up without shaking.
The sword was deeply embedded in the floor of the control room. Then the mana bomb exploded.
Kwaang!
It was an explosion much stronger than a grenade from a grenade launcher.
All the windows of the control room were shattered, and the cables and fixtures were torn off. I lost and was crushed.
Kugugugung.
-It looks like it’s going to fall.
“I think so too.”
The control room that was hanging on the wall began to collapse downward.
This time, Kyung-hoon ran to the other side. After moving tens of meters in an instant, a loud impact sound was heard from behind.
Coo! Boom!
The control room had fallen to the floor.
He and All the lights that illuminated the dome disappeared. All the lights were turned off. The sounds coming from inside the auditorium also stopped, and the ditch running on one side of the dome began to dry. The dome, which had been alive and breathing, died again. However, there was still fire inside the shattered control
room
. was blinking.
[…Test error. The tester…didn’t…take…the test…properly.] A
male voice was heard again from the damaged control room.
Kyung-hoon said , Holding a pistol in one hand and a mana bomb in the other, I carefully approached the broken control room.
Inside the broken control room, there was a lot of electronic equipment tangled up that appeared to be computers.
-Control computers.
“Could this be an AI like you?”
-We do not have any information that AI has been installed at the Awakened Training Center. However… looking at the situation so far, we cannot be sure that it is not AI. Kyung-hoon looked inside the control room. Most of the electronic devices were broken, and even the
equipment that lit up. It didn’t look fine. A liquid that looked like oil was spread out underneath the electronic equipment, as if it had leaked somewhere.
“Do I need to oil the electronic equipment to make it run?”
-no! There is no way this much amount of grease would come out when it melts!
At Eve’s words, Kyung-hoon hurriedly took a step back.
Phew!
The moment Kyung-hoon stepped back, the liquid rose up and covered the spot where Kyung-hoon was. The liquid that had missed Kyung-hoon gathered in one place and began to form a liquid column.
“What is that again? Was there even a monster like that?”
An unexpected answer came back to Kyung-hoon’s question:
– It is not in the encyclopedia. It is a monster that has never been discovered.
