Chapter 155

The invasion route of the undead summoned by Nekrod was not one. The Hunter Association built a defensive line by gathering hunters, focusing on the 5 strongest guilds.

The overall command came from the headquarters of the Association, but the command authority on the field went back to the strongest.

“Team Vanguard, retreat!”

Pyo Ji-hoon was one of them.

At his command, the members of the Avalon guild, who had been blocking the undead coming from the front, hurriedly pulled themselves out.

“Now! Start bombardment!”

It wasn’t just the Hunters who built the defense line. Tanks and mortars roared.

The shells that fell among the undead tore the corpses with a roar. Even without mana, the modern firearms demonstrated sufficient power.

While shaking the ground, the progress of the undead slowed down.

“Team Warlock!”

The wizards of Avalon activated the prepared magic circle. Flames, ice, and electric shocks swarmed the undead.

“Good!”

“Search all the fucking undead!”

Everyone cheered at the overwhelming firepower.

While taking a breather, Pyo Ji-hoon reported the situation over the radio of the strongest.

“Avalon stopped. Is the other side okay?”

<This one is frozen. So, the second team broke them. So I froze again.>

Johanna’s answer came first. Due to her wide range of magic, the undead were having difficulties advancing.

<These things are too stupid to interest me. Maybe the other side is different? Can you change it if it’s okay?>

Jung Joon-hyeok replied in a sullen voice. For him, the battlefield was a place for pleasure, but the behavior patterns of the undead were too monotonous and there was little inspiration.

<Well, take good care of Sura and guild members. Wouldn’t it be troublesome to become undead after recklessly attacking like you?>

Ju Taiji said scoldingly. From the tone of his voice, I could tell he had plenty of room.

“Princess, how are you?”

The only one who didn’t answer was the specialist, Hwang Ye-ri. However, no answer came back to the question. Just as Pyo Ji-hoon is about to ask again.

<Nothing wrong.>

A concise answer came back.

The invasion of the undead had been stopped for now.

However, Pyo Ji-hoon was not relieved. His ability to see the future, confirmed by déjà vu.

‘He’s really not an ordinary undead.’

The Undead were torn apart into pieces of flesh and blood, but the black mana between them was crushing the scattered corpses.

“This way they are playing again. Please be careful.”

<Okay.>

<That’s why it’s frozen.>

<I hope something a little different comes out.>

Along with the answers of the strongest, Taiji Ju turned his gaze. The other guild members did not know this yet.

But he would soon find out.

– Necrod’s undead do not die.

The strongest knew about it because they had already heard the story from Kang Tae-min.

-Necrod will be hiding among the undead. To be precise, it’s an alter ego. As long as he is alive, the undead will continue to respawn.

It was a fact unknown to ordinary hunters. It was clear that talking about it in advance would lower morale.

‘But now I can’t hide it.’

Pyo Ji-hoon took a deep breath and grabbed his sword.

“Rebuild the Warlock Team magic, reload the bombardment!”

He gave the order again in a serious voice. The wizards and soldiers, who wanted to take a breather, flinched, but soon began to reconsider and reorganize.

“Vanguard Team! Follow me!”

The hunters who were in charge of the avant-garde also noticed something serious. Soon they knew why.

“This crazy… !”

“You say you’re still fine with that?”

While the deflagration subsided, I could see the appearances of the undead rising again.

Their appearance has become more hideous than the first. The fragmented corpses merged with those nearby, as if they didn’t feel the need to return to their original bodies.

For that reason, there were also bizarre figures with multiple heads or moving only with arms and legs.

“Do not fight alone! Stay on display!”

Pyo Ji-hun shouted and grabbed the sword. The blue aura that shimmered all over the body concentrated on the sword body.

The explosive aura exceeded the size of the sword body and grew larger than Pyo Ji-hoon’s body. In time, the aura grew larger than the ogres running towards him.

The Vanguard team was following Pyo Ji-hoon, so they immediately knew what he was about to do.

‘That’s… !’

‘I’ve only heard of it!’

Even within the guild Avalon, unless you are a veteran, you have never seen it in person, Pyo Ji-hoon’s secret skill.

“Chammail Island (斬魔一閃)… !”

A ray of light that cuts down the devil.

Literally, in an instant, the sword was fired at such a high speed that even the movement of swinging the sword could not be seen.

Together with him, the aura drew a long stroke, and the undead caught in the stroke fell in half.

“And, indeed… !”

“This is the true skill of the guild leader… .”

The Vanguard team, who witnessed a technique that had only been handed down to seniors, spoke excitedly.

It is only natural that morale rises when a person of this level of skill leads them.

But there was someone who didn’t like being heated up like that.

“Yes, keep struggling. But how long can that be?”

Cracked heads amid the soggy gore let out a grim laugh.

Pyo Ji-hun had a hunch that it was Necrod’s doing.

“No matter how much we cut and tear, we will not die. I will take the blood and flesh of you who are exhausted and collapsed one by one.”

As if to prove those words, the black energy began to move slowly again.

“In addition… ?”

“This crazy… !”

The atmosphere that had been heated a while ago seemed like a lie. As if cold water had been poured on them, the Vanguard team’s complexion turned pale.

“My guild members aren’t weak enough to play around with tricks like this.”

Pyo Ji-hoon said as if he was laughing.

It wasn’t a very loud voice, but it would reach everyone over the radio.

He looked back at the Vanguard team and gave a relaxed smile.

“I already know the future of my family.”

At least the morale of the Avalon guild was not broken. Because their guild leader has the ability to see the future.

At those words, the Vanguard team came to their senses.

“Follow the guild leader!”

“Hold the line!”

Pyo Ji-hoon smiled brightly.

However, it was a fraudulent operation.

‘The iron man and Mr. Kang should hurry up.’

If the body of Nobody and Nekrod is not blocked, there is no chance of victory in this fight.

All of the strongest players, including Pyo Ji-hun, knew that fact.

‘For now, let’s be faithful to our given duties.’

All he could do now was find and eliminate the Nekrod hiding among the undead.

* * *

Kang Tae-min absorbed the returning alter egos again.

‘This is the 23rd Life Vessel… .’

Kang Tae-min was calm about most things, but he shook his head.

Necrod was a man who, to his horror, valued his own life.

‘Still, I found the main body.’

Thanks to collecting more soul fragments, I could clearly feel the energy of the strongest Life Vessel.

The place where he was hiding was, of course, a dungeon, but it was different in scale from the place he was in before.

‘It’s quite deeply hidden.’

A huge maze reminiscent of an underground city, and dangerous traps installed in it.

‘It’s the best place to pass the time.’

Even if he brought all the strongest, it would have taken quite a while. And in the meantime, it was clear that the invasion had already ended.

However, Kang Tae-min quickly covered the maze. The hidden engine devices were detected by detection, and the crossroads were confirmed by sending an alter ego.

Thanks to that, I didn’t get lost until I reached the deepest part.

‘There’s a guy behind this.’

Kang Tae-min pushed the huge iron door without hesitation.

Beyond the iron door that opened with a heavy reverberation, in what should have been a boss room, there was only one figure with a shabby appearance disproportionate to its scale.

“… After all, did you come this far?”

Nerod was not surprised.

It was because, just as Kang Tae-min felt his presence, Necrod also felt the soul fragments that Tae-min Kang had collected.

“Amazing. I never thought there would be someone other than me who could handle souls… .”

Kang Tae-min didn’t respond and rushed towards Necrod. I didn’t come to chat with him.

Wires flying in from all directions, and metal blades shooting from the front like bullets.

It was an attack that Necrod had no way to avoid.

So he didn’t run away.

“You’re quite impatient.”

The wire came to a halt in a giant claw that sprouted from the ground, and a metal blade stuck in the skull protruding from the ground in front of him.

Naturally, both the wire and the metal blade contained an aura with sufficient lethal power.

‘That’s right, was it here… .’

Taemin Kang frowned.

He now knew the identity of the undead summoned by Nekrod.

A monster with a body the size of a house, wings, and a skeleton unique to reptiles that burst through the land with a gurgling sound.

“Bone Dragon… .”

It was an undead monster that Necrod mainly used before returning. Coupled with Venom Cainine’s ability, countless victims came from the venom breath it exhaled.

Of course, he’s gone now, but he wasn’t someone to be taken lightly.

“Death is such an ephemeral thing. Even if you make such a large rarity, even if you collect mighty power and all kinds of treasures, they will eventually disappear in vain.”

Necrod muttered as if talking to himself over the skull of the Bone Dragon.

“You know what? When a dragon declines, it loses its dominance. And the monsters who are said to have some power in the area try to take over the ruler’s seat… .”

Again, a coo de deo echoed from the ground. Nekrod’s eyes grew darker.

“I will end up buried here. Monsters who tried to rival dragons and dragon slayers who were greedy.”

Rather than the Bone Dragon, it was small skeleton giants, monsters, and armed dragon soldiers who came out of the land.

Most people would despair at the crowd of undead that filled their eyesight.

“Is that all?”

Kang Tae-min just calmly asked a question. Nekrod’s eyes flickered like candles in the wind.

“It’s only kids who believe in their size.”

Kang Tae-min said that and showed his ability. The iron door at the entrance collapsed as if it were melting, and it flowed towards him.

“So I guess I’ll have to adjust it to the kids’ eye level.”

“what… ?”

Nerod felt an inexplicable uneasiness. The mana that squeezed and pushed away his fraud that filled this space.

‘Something is about to happen… !’

Nerod expressed his will. I didn’t know what it was, but I had to stop that iron man.

The undead he summoned attacked Kang Tae-min all at once.

With a thud, the Bone Dragon stopped and the Skeleton Giants tumbled across the floor.

“This… !?”

Nerod shouted as if in a fit. It was none other than stopping his undead.

“What are you going to do with those bony things?”

A huge metal giant.

The top-level entity of the machine race Taemin Kang faced, the Machina.

An iron man who is heavier than Auto Prime, Auto Ultra, and the objects located on either side of them in the middle.

‘Deus Ex Machina’

It was a machine god that the Makina race was trying to create.

To be precise, Makina could not complete the machine god, and Kang Tae-min made up for the unfinished parts, and it was an original.

Nevertheless, it was a machina with power that exceeded the existing top-level objects, Auto Prime and Auto Ultra.

‘If it were the original me, I wouldn’t have dared.’

This was only possible thanks to the souls of the villains absorbed through Blood Shiok.

“What… !?”

Nerod seemed quite surprised by the adversary who appeared out of nowhere.

Taemin Kang took out a lip and tear.

“My steel is stronger than your bones.”

The dragon soldier who attacked in front of him was cut off and cracks occurred in the skeleton giants and the dragon’s body.

It was truly a ‘steel judgment’.
