"crazy."
Kim In-wook could not help but be astonished as he watched the scene playing on the monitor.
And it wasn't just Kim In-wook who was shocked.
-?
-?
-Wow… …
-Is that magic???
-crazy
-ah... ...
The regeneration rate of the chat window stopped momentarily.
All of the viewers who had been chatting at a level that they could not follow with their eyes just moments ago stopped chatting for a moment as if they had been electrocuted.
No, to express it more accurately, it would be ‘I had no choice but to stop.’
Everyone would have been equal in the face of the merciless and overwhelming violence committed on screen.
That scene was not reality, but rather something out of a movie or drama.
How many people can confidently say that this is reality?
-Is this also a masterpiece?
-Could that be Suzaku? I wonder if there was a hunter in Korea who could create a situation like that in the first place.
-and… … Fuck.
-Is this irregular?
-Isn’t this just a tactical nuclear weapon???
Countless huge spears were planted on the vast field.
Each of the windows deeply embedded in the ground contained sacred light and was emitting light in all directions.
It was too scary to be called holy, and too sacred to be called scary.
And above all, that scene was all the more shocking because it was created by Kim In-wook, his older brother.
'… … Really irregular.'
Until this morning, he was the one who hit him on the back of the head, asking him to cook soybean paste stew for dinner.
When my older brother returned after 5 years and told me that he was an deviant, it was hard to believe it, but I believed it.
Because there is no reason for my brother to lie like that.
There was also talk in the public that the government had manipulated my brother's Irregular rating, but I did not believe in such conspiracy theories.
However, apart from belief, it seems that ‘realizing’ that my brother was an deviant was a problem on a different level.
The power of the Irregular Returner, which had only been rumored, was too much for even Kim In-wook, who was accustomed to the players.
'You can't even compare.'
Even if we bring in the top hunters in Korea, would we dare compare ourselves to our older brother?
Kim In-wook tried to think quickly, but he couldn't bring himself to make a comparison.
To that extent, his brother's power was not only overwhelming, but even to the point of arousing fear and trepidation.
Even Lee Se-hee, who is said to be the best magic player in Korea, will not be able to reach the power shown by his older brother just now.
'miracle.'
Why does that word suddenly pass through my mind?
And that miracle was changing countless things even at this very moment.
-Those bastards who call this Suzaku even after seeing this really have an intelligence problem.
-Are we really now a country with irregularities?
-China has 4 people, but the one who likes to have only 1
- Get off to the country of Neg, please
- What's the point of an irregular, who can't even be properly measured?
-I'm going to apply for admission to the Remen Church.
- But am I the only one who is scared......? Will such an Awoden be controlled?
There is no denying the power that is far beyond imagination.
As you can see from the chat, there were no more people raising question marks.
A true irregular.
Maybe it was because of this reaction that he insisted on a live broadcast?
‘…… They're all gone.'
One thing was for sure, a lot of things were going to change after this live broadcast.
And at the center of that change is his older brother, Kim Si Woo.
Right now, the nationwide disaster situation is not the center of attention, but it is clear that when the situation is eventually resolved, it will be the focus of everyone's attention.
By the time Kim In Wook stared at the screen and was overwhelmed with a lot of emotions.
-Yes?
-Didn't you just move something over there?
- The orcs are alive???
- You live with something like that?
The chat began to go down quickly, and Kim In-wook hurriedly scanned the screen.
As the viewers said, a huge orc that was thought to be dead was standing up there.
But after a while.
Quaaa
A spear came out of nowhere and pierced the orc's broad chest, and the orc lowered his head, gripping the spear of the white spear that pierced his body.
The silence that follows.
The camera briefly panned on the devastated orc, and then shot Kim Si Woo again.
'Well so.'
Seeing Kim Si Woo shaking his hands and getting annoyed, Kim In Wook couldn't help but smile involuntarily.
8.
Honestly, I didn't think the Overlord wouldn't die in one hit.
Although the causality restriction weakened the strength of the Holy Lance's Tomb >, he didn't expect to endure it once.
As soon as I saw that it had endured, I killed him with a javelin that was embedded around it, but the process itself was not satisfactory.
From the beginning, I was going to shoot it with overwhelming force and press it all at once.
"No matter how much I think about it, it's a shame to finish."
"No, Pope. Pope Francis has done a great job. And you've shown the human side to it, and I can't think of a more perfect result."
"That's true, but it's a matter of pride. No, it's really a bit frustrating, isn't it? I was just trying to get the weight out of it, but wow, I'm going to hold on to that."
All in all, the operation was a great success.
Everything that happened after the Overlord died at My Hands went as I expected.
The orcs, who had awakened their suppressed nature, began to fight among their tribes again, and the monster wave naturally disintegrated.
The large guilds, led by the Pavilion, suggested that it would be a good idea to take advantage of the opportunity to restore some of the lost land, but that opinion quickly faded.
For rather than an imperative goal, serious threats were looming before his eyes.
Breaking News) A huge chaos gate formed in the Busan area! The risk level has been increased from B+ to A+, and a mobilization order has been declared to all players in Gyeongnam Province! >
Players belonging to a large guild who were gathering in Munsan-eup, Paju City, began to move urgently>
Kim Si-woo, South Korea's first irregular, why doesn't he move in this crisis? >
Where is the crisis of Korea, the leadership of the crisis? >
"You don't want me to go help."
I wanted to support myself.
But.
[As the causality rate assigned to you reaches its limit, the use of divine power is partially restricted during the 24-hour period of Earth time.]
Due to the corruption of this system, which can only be described by the word "sage time," the support was abandoned early.
I didn't want to test the system because it had a lot of self-respect nuances.
"By the way, may I ask you a personal question?"
I nodded in response to his question, taking a sip of the water on my desk.
"Ask."
"The Pope's strength was enough to reduce the orc population, but it seemed like he was deliberately letting them go. Maybe I'm mistaken."
"Brother Minsu certainly has the details. You saw it exactly."
Even if the causality rate was pushed to the limit, there was plenty of time to reduce the orc population, as Minsu said.
A few shellies would have been thrown at the hordes of orcs, and the population would have been greatly reduced.
Still, the reason I didn't reduce the orc population was very simple.
"Orcs are extremely intelligent creatures that form a tribal society. They're extremely belligerent, but at least they're capable of learning. In addition, they are ruthless creatures who hunt other monsters mercilessly."
It's also a peculiar habit they possess because they're monsters of a subrace.
In fact, according to research in Eden, there were very few monsters other than orcs in the area around the orc settlement.
In other words, as long as they were kept alive properly, they could be excellent monster suppressors.
In the case of Earth, it would be more accurate to describe it as a monster.
"We don't have any immediate plans to recover all of the lost land anyway, so we don't need to reduce our great deterrent resources. Maybe they've seen my spicy taste for themselves today, so they won't even look at it for a while."
Orcs are feared, too.
Should I call it selective anger management disorder or an instinctive need for survival?
Unless another anomaly called the Overlord appears, they will return to their original habitat.
And as he has always done, he will hunt down the monsters around him and make a fortune.
"It's a stopgap measure, though."
I think that the reason why there has not been a massive movement of monsters in the Lost Lands so far is probably due to the food chain between monsters.
Since North Korea collapsed without any resistance, ironically, the food chain between the monsters was completed quite plausibly.
At least, that's the case when I gather the information I've heard from Minister Yoo and Team Leader Kim.
So I didn't want to upset that balance right away.
"Indeed, the Pope. I didn't expect you to think so deeply."
"Isn't that the case in our denomination? It's nice to restore the lost land, but there's a lot of work to be done right now...... Well, something like that."
For example, the competition for Divinity-type players that will begin in earnest after this event.
Still, the good news is that I stamped my eyes properly today.
Thousands of sacred spears falling from the sky.
For players who will choose Divinity, what other motivational video could be as stimulating as that?
Anyway.
That's how I was chatting pleasantly with Min-su in the battalion commander's office of the aviation battalion.
Knock knock.
Someone knocked on the door of the battalion commander's office.
"Come in."
Soon after, Minister Yoo Seon-ho appeared.
As soon as he entered the battalion commander's office, Minister Yoo Seon Ho smiled softly and said:
"Were you resting?"
"Thanks to your consideration, I was resting well. Oh, and what happened to the request I asked you to do earlier?"
"Helicopter pilots were given two-week leave permits and allowed to leave work immediately. They asked me to tell them how to thank me."
"I'm grateful for that. Without them......."
I hate to imagine it.
Maybe I should have run around like a dog in this beautiful autumn weather. And, of course, I wouldn't have been able to shoot.
"Isn't it the old man's job to make sure that he is punished? Haha."
"An old man. It's awkward for the minister to say that."
"Are you going to paint this old man's face with gold? The hero who saved the Republic of Korea personally painted it with gold, so I don't know what to do."
"I just did what I had to do."
"Humility is the highest virtue."
Minister Yoo Seon Ho sat down in front of me with a benevolent smile.
And I looked at Minister Yoo Seon-ho and gently lifted the corners of my mouth.
The reason why Min-so and I stayed here despite the successful operation.
"Let's get started, shall we?"
"Good. The President has told you to do what you want as much as possible, so feel free to say it."
"That's a nice thing to hear. Haha!"
Finally, it was time to have a proper snack.
