He soon found Gye Young-il. When he saw Kang Young-hoo, he heard the news of his injury, immediately reached out her hand and patted her on the shoulder.

He said, “I’m glad you said you were fatally wounded! Seeing you walking on two legs, it doesn’t seem that the injury is as serious as you think.”

“It’s quite bearable. I have more to report than that.”

Kang Young-hoo reported that Yoo Tae-hoon had turned the Fire Dragon into an undead one. Then Gye Young-il said with great joy.

“If the dragon is on our side, the 3rd line of defense will be able to hold out for quite a while. Then, won’t Jung Daesik come back before that?”

“I hope so. At least it will appear before the Shield operation is over.”

“That’s an operation to give up Seoul! Before that, Jung Daesik must appear! Hasn’t he received a huge paycheck for it! What does that price mean in this chaos…!”

Looking at Kang Young-hu who quietly stood up, Gye-young’s job clicked his tongue. He said that as soon as all the Awakened people return, a new raid will be arranged, and Kang Young-hoo bowed his head and turned around.

Then, as he was about to leave, he ran into a Song citizen who had just come to meet Gye-young. When he saw Kang Young-hoo, he pretended to know, and Kang Yeong-hoo grabbed him and asked him because he was an old woman.

“I heard you’ll be the center of Operation Shield.”

“Yeah, that’s what I do.”

“Can you stop the attacks of monsters that are more than 15 stars?”

“That’s something you don’t know until you try it.”

Song Si-min responded calmly and was right.

It was difficult to guess what the power of a 15-star or higher monster would be before fighting.

Moreover, Song Si-min was not the only person involved in Operation Shield. All personnel capable of striking the shield were to be mobilized.

” How about Jung Daesik?”

Currently, Jung Daesik’s exact location has not been disclosed, but Kang Young-hoo knew he was in Song Si-min’s panic room.

Song Si-min said with a sad expression on his face.

“He’s stuck there. He’s lying there on a sleeping bag.”

“Are you lying down?”

“Um, that expression may not be accurate… I should say he was lying down?

Kang Yeong-hoo recalled that his condition was similar to that immediately after defeating Chernobog.

Perhaps his preparation required such an unconscious time.

But for those who were unaware of this fact, it was a matter of great concern.

Without his consciousness, how can he be aware of the outside situation and wake up to fight?

Even Song Si-min was concerned about that part.

“It’s completely different from the kind of preparation I was thinking of, so I don’t know if he’ll ever be on time.”

Kang Young-hoo responded to what he said.

“Don’t worry. He’ll wake up sooner or later.”Episode 71. Fierce Battle

It was a long night like a nightmare.

All the awakened people and refugees gathered in Jongno, and all roads leading to Jongno were closed.

The streets were crowded with people who had entered Jongno. There was an atmosphere of uneasy feeling, and an uncontrollable fear provoked violence.

In the midst of confusion, Kang Yeong-hoo received a new order. He and the Titans were tasked with helping Choi Hee defending Bukhansan and breaking her way out.

When Operation Shield began, all Awoken who could attack would open a way to the north and evacuate citizens from Seoul. As Gye Young-il said, it was a plan to abandon Seoul and run away.

The problem was after that. Even if he somehow managed to break through the siege and escape out of Seoul, there was no guarantee that there would be no monsters anywhere else.

The plan was to go to Ganghwa Island to isolate the island and build a defensive base, but it was questionable whether it would be safe to stay there as even Seoul could not protect it.

So the plan was practically meaningless. At the latest, Jung Daesik had to show up until Operation Shield was launched.

If he pushed the hordes of monsters back out of Seoul and, as he promised, took down the 5 giants, he would have a chance to re-establish his defenses and counterattack.

However, if even Operation Shield failed and he had to give up Seoul, the sacrifices and losses that would follow would be so great that he might not be able to recover again.

Kang Yeong-hoo hurriedly packed his supplies and prepared to move to Bukhansan.

Choi Hee was blocking her bastards by herself, so I could see the weather there changing rapidly.

A 15-star or higher monster, which the headquarters named Nemesis, was standing in the north as well, so the horse would open a path, and if they had to fight, they would throw their lives away like a scorpion.

There was no way for them to defeat Nemesis, and they had no choice but to hope that ordinary citizens could safely evacuate while they fend off the nemesis.

After Kang Young had finished preparing to move, he somehow thought that he should go see Jung Daesik before he left.

So, he let the Titan raid go off first, and he found the panic room he had asked Song Citizen earlier.

The panic room, located in an inconspicuous place, was made of containers.

It looked fine on the outside except for the fact that it was emitting a faint light, but the inside of the window that was supposed to be visible inside was dark as if it had been covered with a blackout curtain. So it was impossible to tell whether Jung Daesik was really lying in a sleeping bag or not.

Kang Yeong-hoo, who was standing by the panic room, suddenly remembered the saying that Jung Daesik’s Servant was guarding him.

Just in case, he raised his voice and called the Servant.

“Entropy?”

Unexpectedly, the answer came immediately. Kang Yeong-hoo was a little startled and hesitated before opening his mouth.

“How is Jung Daesik’s condition?”

“what?”

“okay…….”

Kang Yeong-hoo, who was perplexed for a moment, thought deeply and asked again.

“When can he come back?”

“Can’t you tell? Wasn’t he back in a few hours?”

Kang Young-hoo was very surprised.

“Then, wouldn’t that mean it could take a few more days or months?”

Kang Young-hoo felt her eyes darken and she stumbled for a moment.

She didn’t know if it was her because of the aftermath of her recovery or if it was her because of the trauma.

But what is certain is that now is not the time for her to worry about Seoul.

After Kang Young, she thought that Jung Daesik would return no matter how late, until she had all of Seoul taken over by hordes of monsters. But how many days or months?

If Jung Daesik returned in a few months, there could be no human shadow on the Korean Peninsula.

If Korea, where the most powerful Awakeners are holding, ends, it means that other countries will as well.

In other words, Jung Daesik could have returned to the destroyed world.

‘ Jung Daesik!’

Kang Yeong-hoo did not know how to accept this. You could interpret the words of entropy in a positive way, but it never happened.

The cost of delaying Jung Daesik’s return was too great.

Had I known this would happen, I would not have just let Jung Daesik go.

Had he been there, he would have somehow managed to get to Ganghwa Island, even though he might not be able to defeat the 5 Great Giants and defend Seoul.

There he should have built a new defensive line, and when he felt there was enough time, he should have started preparing for it.

However, he did not see the back and forth because he thought that Seoul should not be taken away.

Kang Yeong-hoo asked again to regain his composure.

“I’m sure it doesn’t really take that long, right? At the earliest… I’ll probably be able to come back in a few hours.”

Fortunately, entropy gave a positive answer.

“Yeah, then I can’t help but hope you come back soon.”

Kang Young-hoo staggered back and left the panic room. Then he got a jeep from another raid heading towards Bukhansan and headed to Choi Hee.

Whoo oh oh-

Choi Hee was looking down the hillside where the cold wind blew.

Bukhansan Mountain, which boasted a superb view, had reached a point where it was impossible to find it.

The back of Mt. Bukhan, which sat facing Seoul, was dug up, crumbled, and crumbled into a mess.

It was a sight as if dozens of bombs were dropped on the spot where a huge tank had been laid and passed.

It was as if a huge rake had scraped the mountain.

When she saw that Myeongsan, which had been intact during the 1st Monster Break, was destroyed in such a way, her heart was confused.Choi Hee turned away from the dark hillside and watched the troops filling up along the ridge of Bukhansan.

I could see the headlights of the jeeps coming up the mountain on the road one after another, and I saw Kang Young-hoo crawling up the rocks.

“That’s poor stamina.”

When Choi Hee saw him panting, Kang Yeong-hoo stole his forehead with the back of his hand as if he was about to die.

“I guess I’ve been neglecting my exercise these days.”

In fact, Kang Young-hoo was a very strict person in his self-management. He jogged 5km every morning, except when he was out hunting, and worked out for about 2 hours at the gym.

His whole body was covered in large amounts of muscle and a moderate amount of fat, and his vitality was overflowing. To this extent, he was saying that there was no reason for him to be tired from riding the mountain.

But judging by his pale face, he must have been injured while defending the first and second lines of defense. It was because he moved in a state where his condition had not fully recovered.

She knew that fact, but she didn’t want to show any signs of worry, so Choi Hee said bluntly.

“Isn’t Jung Daesik still ready?”

Kang Young-hoo nodded his head.

“I don’t know how long it will take.”

“What? Now isn’t the time to talk like that? Look over there.”

Kang Young-hoo looked at the other side of the city that was engulfed in darkness.

The MFP was emitting a blue light in a place where the Han River was likely.

From the top of the mountain, it looked like a band of blazing blue stretching along the horizon. That meant that the monsters started moving.

“They’ve started their offensive. I would have felt it when the first line of defense was breached, but the MFP is just a decoration. It may serve to drive out miscellaneous mobs, but it’s no help in such an extreme situation. It’s only a matter of time before they cross the Han River and land. Hey.”

“Yoo Tae-hoon created an undead dragon, so he will buy you some time.”

“Even so, it won’t last long. It’s a rush hour. It’s not the time to procrastinate about getting ready. But what the hell is this bastard Jung Daesik doing?”

When Choi Hee beat her chest in frustration, Kang Young Ho said.

“Before coming, I went to the Panic Room with Jung Daesik, and his Servant, Entropy, said strange things.”

“Is that a strange word?”

“You said that you were reconstructing the body and mind. So it took a long time… Upgrade or something…”

“That’s a very odd thing to say.”

“There’s something strange about that Servant.”

“Strangely speaking, everything about Jung Daesik is weird. He’s an all-in-one like never before and he’s an unprecedented powerhouse. It feels like he was made for something like this.”

“Does that mean that he is beyond human?”



Choi Hee suddenly laughed at Kang Young-hoo’s question.

“If he really transcended humans, he wouldn’t have asked for money as a reward.”

Kang Yeong-hoo laughed at the same time.

“That’s right.”

“I can’t understand why he’s risking his life so much for his money. What is he going to do with his money?”

Choi Hee did not understand Jung Daesik’s desire for money.
