Episode 135-EJ(5)
“Wait a minute! Are you crazy?!”
The scorpions that have appeared now are crazy monsters that can even bounce off rifle bullets. From their perspective, it seemed like a nonsensical act to attack such monsters with their bare bodies.
“Are these guys really black monsters?!”
“I’ve never heard of these guys, but kill them first!”
On the other hand, residents did not feel awkward fighting this giant scorpion. This is because they were all experienced in fighting bugs.
Of course, the bug in the form of a scorpion was not in their memory, but even if they were not hunters, they had already mastered how to fight large-sized enemies.
“Weak! Ha! Much weaker! These are not black monsters!”
Shun, the warrior who raised his sword and cut off the poisonous needle swung at him with a single strike with a single strike, shouted excitedly.
In the first place, space monsters, one of the races that appear in this game, were a completely different race from bugs.
To them, the shells of these scorpions seemed relatively soft and weak compared to the bodies of bugs and glitches, which contained a certain amount of mana and had a certain level of resistance, regardless of whether they were large or small.
“Really?! Then I guess it’s worth it!”
Other warriors also heard the news and gained hope. Those who used to get nervous and give up on even an ordinary magical beast have now become mature warriors who can attack with peace of mind simply because they know that it is not a bug.
“It’s still tough!”
“But this isn’t that bad!”
The spears and swords they wield emit mana, the power within their bodies, in the form of skills. A special attack that is made of mana, including a swirling stab and a slash that cuts through the wind.
They are like a kind of power that cannot be explained by science or physics, and they instantly split the hard shells and bodies of the space monsters that had been fighting fiercely with the Federation.
‘Uh, what happened?’
The federal soldiers, who were astonished to see the Arin warriors suddenly charging in after resisting by firing guns, lowered their guns with blank faces at the sight of their enemies being cut off and crushed like tofu.
The warriors who took the lead were superhumans who went beyond common sense, and the skills of wizards and druids, who shot out blazing fireballs like cannonballs or summoned writhing thorny vines, were impossible to explain.
‘To what extent was correction done? I thought it was a balance disaster, but I’m glad.’
And the being who controlled them also smiled faintly on the other side of the screen as he watched them making propaganda against their enemies.
They said they were controlling it, but in reality, they just gave the attack command and kept their hands still. Despite this, the residents figured out their positions and fought well.
“Who the hell are you? “Where are you from?”
When all the attacking enemies were dead, spewing bodily fluids, leaving their corpses lying around. In a way, it was natural that the federal soldiers cautiously approached the Arin warriors.
Although it was confusing, it was thanks to the fact that they had one thing in common, ‘humans’ with similar appearances to themselves in a land full of space monsters, that offset the distance to some extent.
“We came here under the guidance of our guardian spirit.”
After looking at each other, Shun, the warrior who came forward as the representative, introduced himself to the Federation soldiers who were also wearing unusual attire.
Although it was confusing, the fact that they were forced to come to an unfamiliar world was not unfamiliar to the Arin people because there were already many precedents.
There is nothing strange in thinking that everything is the result of the guardian spirit.
At the word guardian deity, the soldiers’ expressions became strange.
“This is Sergeant Rodwell, formerly of Pioneer Command. “Agot is an uninhabited, uninhabited land, and our exploration ship was attacked by them while building a base for exploration.”
Rodwell, who introduced himself, still looked at the Arin warriors with a nervous expression.
In fact, all of the warriors who were experiencing this for the first time were showing interest in the soldiers of this unknown world with bright eyes, but the soldiers of the Federation, including Rodwell, who already knew what this land was like, did not. .
“The locals… understood that it was not true.”
“yes. This is a strange place even for us. “I don’t know why he sent us here.”
“Then where is the ship you all came on… Or rather, you don’t know why you came here?”
“Actually, I think I know. You may not be His incarnation, but we have already received His instructions.”
In response to Rodwell’s puzzled question, Shun glanced at his colleagues and shook his head. Obviously, the current situation is a bit different from what the seniors who were in the game were talking about.
This was because there was no incarnation of the guardian spirit to be with, and I only met locals who did not know the meaning.
But Shun quickly grasped the situation. The guardian spirit was definitely with them right now. This is because it was the guardian spirit’s will that manipulated their bodies when they hesitated and instructed them to fight monsters when they appeared.
“Did you feel it too? “That was when I received His will.”
“You too?”
The Arin warriors muttered among themselves and their eyes widened. What made the game active and made them perform missions within it. It was to further strengthen the bond between them and Junyoung, who controlled them off-screen.
In fact, the moment the Arin warriors fought under his control, they instinctively sensed that they were connected by something.
The connection was a kind of mental connection that maximized each other’s breathing. They had no way of explaining exactly what it was, but the moment the battle began, the unconsciousness engraved on his body naturally strengthened Junyoung’s control and the union with his colleagues as one.
‘He doesn’t call us for no reason.’
All guardian spirits have a purpose, so we call them.
They firmly believed in this, and rather than feeling repulsed by the fact that Junyoung forcibly manipulated them, they felt proud.
This was thanks to the mutual trust and relationship that had been steadily built up over the years.
[Achievement achieved: Mutual trust (1)]
“her.”
It was recognized as an achievement. While playing the game without much thought, he chuckled at the notification that came to his mind.
“Sir, all communication has been lost. “Because the equipment in the frontier is still poor…”
“Can you determine the location?”
“That will work. “If no rescue team comes, we will have to walk across the wilderness to reach the main unit.”
“Then I can’t help it.”

Although those inside had no idea, the game was still going on. Rodwell and the soldiers, who barely survived after being left behind but had to survive and go to headquarters, looked back at the Arin people with embarrassed faces.
The Arin warriors stood with blank faces, looking only at the sky to give them instructions.
“Currently, communication with headquarters is impossible, so we have to go there to survive. “The land controlled by Lurkers seems to be dangerous for you as well. Would you like to accompany us?”
‘I don’t know what the hell it is, but after all, these are humans, and they have the power to defeat those terrible monsters. I’m sure it will help.’
Rodwell secretly suggested accompanying the Arin warriors. The decision was made for their own safety, but it was also part of the progress of the game.
“There is no reason to refuse.”
After reading that, he chuckled and right-clicked to move the Arin warriors.
“That’s…ooh!”
“He gave instructions. “Follow you.”
That small action soon became a source of excitement for the warriors. Rodwell, taken aback by their sudden movement and enthusiastic response, hurriedly began to guide the Arryn warriors.
[End of Stage 1. [Increased number of people capable of operating]
‘After all, the meaning of this game is to give me the power of control.’
One stage ended with that.
When Junyoung, who was planning to proceed to this point today, took them back outside, the warriors were a little surprised by the suddenly changed scenery, but they were not more surprised because they had already figured out the concept of commuting in the game.
“Everyone is hurt, right?”
“yes. Shun, are you still planning to report to the warchief?”
“Of course I should.”
Shun took the lead and decided to report this to Varun. What world did you go to, what did you experience, and what did you gain?
For the Arin people, games have already become something sacred, a place where miracles occur, a place where people can obtain mysterious artifacts, and where they can come into contact with the incarnation of God.

“Unbelievable. big.”
“I knew that what Lihar said was not a lie, but…”
While Shun and other chosen warriors have a special experience in a new world. The Arin village was also busy.
The kingdom’s delegation, which quickly departed for the first village, was also one of the busy movements.
It has already been revealed that everything Lihar testified is true, but seeing it in person is different from hearing it.
The Vice Minister and Leo were impressed by the sight of the first village, which had a fully completed castle, interior, and exterior, unlike the second village, which was not yet fully completed.
It was completely different from the tribal villages I had passed by. A well-built city that cannot be ignored as a barbarian.
It wasn’t just big. The various buildings and facilities that architects and transporters worked hard to see and learn in the game boasted such unique and diverse styles that a stranger would wonder how they were built like that.
‘The distance for persuasion has decreased again…’
Leo smiled bitterly at the sight of the city. It was the moment to delete the large and wonderful city among the kingdom’s pride in order to persuade Riena.
“Well, the guard leader. Why on earth would you want to take her to the kingdom? no way…”
“Well, it’s not like that. “It is because I think it will definitely be helpful to the knights of the kingdom.”
The Vice Minister narrowed his eyes when he saw Leo like that. Leo reacted rudely and shook his head. Of course, he cannot say that he was selfless, but what he put forward as a cause was not a lie.
‘It would be a great stimulus to the arrogant knights of our country.’
A knight to his core, he thought of his colleagues, juniors, and seniors who were devastated by the prolonged peace.
It was the same for me, but I came to my senses just before that. Really encountering monsters called bugs and seeing Arin warriors including Liera.
“The black monsters, they were real people. Imagine if they invaded our kingdom. I wonder if our troops can fight well against them now. “Didn’t the elite soldiers that Luke brought also suffer great damage from those guys?”
“Well, that’s…”
“You saw it very well!”
While the Vice Minister was speechless at Leo’s words, Lihar burst in and nodded vigorously.
Of the three survivors of the mission, two had now completely crossed over.
