Episode 143 – Evidence of development (3)
Users and the inhabitants of other worlds who live on screen with them.
They were not the only thing that caught the attention of the world where upheaval began with their appearance. Bugs are their main enemy and a scourge that threatens even unrelated people.
Naturally, the level of attention to them also steadily increased.
“As you know, they are monsters who have no sense of language or common sense. It must be stopped. “All unnecessary procedures only serve as a distraction.”
“What kind of monsters are they exactly? “Are you an alien?”
“No one knows. “Even those with giant bodies are crazy bastards who turn to dust as soon as they die, leaving behind only a small amount of by-products.”
Bugs were not only investigated by those directly related to them, such as users. Rather, the general public had no choice but to do more research and investigation into bugs.
This is because as time passes, the frequency and number of bugs increase, and the damage increases accordingly. Numerous scholars and researchers, called scholars, conducted research on bugs under instructions from the government or companies or for personal reasons.
“From what we know so far, it appears that bugs are infesting every single world that users have their inhabitants in. How many worlds is that? There are over 1,000 known statistics from around the world alone. Even this Earth is one of them.”
“But aren’t the behavior and appearance of the bugs similar?”
“That’s it.”
In the video, the Middle Eastern scholar wiped his shiny hair and nodded with wide eyes when asked a question.
“They are independent, but they are not independent. It may seem that way because they have one goal, but that’s not everything. You can see this by looking at reports coming from around the world. “They continue to evolve into forms suitable for invasion.”
Evidence that bugs seemed to be competing with each other had already been found in many places. However, the competition was not so fierce that they faced each other head-on.
Therefore, those who studied the bug came to this conclusion. There could be another colony that controls those numerous bug colonies.
That colony is the true darkness.
‘I don’t know if they communicate with bugs from other worlds.’
It was just a few days ago that I saw that video in real time.
If the colony-type bugs and assault-type bugs that harass residents are ultimately just tools of a large colony, then I can reasonably explain the scene unfolding before my eyes.
They may transcend the Hive and work together to deal with us. Just like we share bug-fighting methods or training strategies.
“Get it first and see.”
After thinking about it and gritting my teeth, I decided that I had to completely save the elves who were being attacked by them. Because if they want to join forces, we have to do the same.

“There are too many of them!”
“Hold on, reinforcements are coming soon! His will means resistance!”
The Arin troops, led by the Holy Knights of the Arin tribe, occupied the village and engaged in a head-on battle with the bugs who were building the gate.
Riena, standing at the forefront, swung a sword overflowing with golden light and killed them with a single blow. She has already grown to the point where she can no longer deal with not only glitches but also most bugs.
“It’s poison!”
A spider with a particularly large belly approached and spat out thick poisonous vapor towards the Arin tribe who were fighting with their weapons.
Riena gritted her teeth and increased her power even more as several soldiers fell to the ground in an instant due to the poison, which was strong enough to kill living trees and grass even when diluted in the air, burn their skin, and melt their internal organs. Release of divine power, one of the Paladin’s skills.
In addition to her power to instantly purify the poison, the wind blowing from the sky healed their wounds and replenished their stamina. It was help from someone watching from behind the screen.
“You, it’s you.”
After slashing and killing a spider that was trying to spit out poison again, she gritted her teeth when she saw something between the swarming enemies.
This is because among the bugs that resembled spiders, there was a very heterogeneous being.
It may be that it looks more like an ant than a spider, but it wasn’t even an ordinary ant in the first place.
It was bipedal and had thick limbs and a shell covering its entire body, like a knight wearing armor. Just like the Arin warriors.
‘The one Rakum and Larsen were talking about.’
She had already heard of enemies similar to him. They are also constantly evolving themselves, and there is a variant among them that imitates the Arryn warriors.
“How dare you?”
She was furious when she found out about it. This is because what they have accumulated is not simply built with blood and sweat, but also includes the power given to them by the guardian spirit they trust and follow.
I couldn’t help but feel angry thinking that those monsters were trying to steal it.
“Liena!”
Liena, clutching her sword, shook off the dissuasion from those around her the moment reinforcements arrived from behind and ran forward to kill the bastard. It was a warrior’s instinctive instinct to kill those guys without leaving a single one behind.
“Die, you evil monster!”
Golden flames instantly burned on her body as she cut down the charging enemies one after another. With her eyes flashing, the enormous power she drew up was released as a crescent-shaped slash through the sword she swung.
‘
The heavenly protections she had acquired made her mana shine even brighter, and quite a few bugs could not withstand that power and were instantly purified.
‘knife?’
However, before Riena’s sword strike split the enemy’s body, she saw the enemy move his four arms and take out four swords.
As she crossed her swords swirling with black mana, her slash, cutting through whatever was in her way, collided with a strong impact.
“this guy…”
She gritted her teeth as she saw the slash being canceled out by a strong impact. The opponent was unable to withstand Riena’s strength and stumbled, two of his arms were shattered, and he was pushed backwards, but in the end, he survived and received the blow.
And it didn’t end there. The carapace split open and eight awl-like spider legs came out and wriggled.
It was a disgusting scene that made you grimace, but it was also evidence that their evolution was continuing.
It was the moment when Riena’s mind changed from saying she would definitely kill him to saying she should never let him live when she saw that.
“What is that light…”
“Chief, we must fight too!”
When Riena was fighting the enemy and the Arin soldiers were fighting the bugs.
The residents of the elven village who had taken refuge were unable to come out yet, and with bewildered eyes, they alternately looked at the Arin people flocking to their village and the bugs fighting there.
The Arin soldiers did not have time to explain the situation to them.
If Junyoung didn’t use a translation app, they wouldn’t be able to communicate in the first place, and because Junyoung was in a hurry, he used the control to send them into the battlefield as soon as they arrived.
Thanks to this, the elves were saved without even knowing what the situation was. The Arin troops were also very interested in the other person, but thanks to their bodies moving at will, they didn’t even show any remorse and only glanced at them.
The reaction was such that the elves were embarrassed.
“How on earth can humans enter this land?”
“That is a matter for later. “First, we have to fight those monsters.”
The village chief, an old woman, muttered as if she could not believe the appearance of the Arin tribe, which was mostly humans. However, there were some who argued that in such a situation, we should come to our senses sooner and fight now.
It was a young female elf with fresh blonde hair that had grown down to her waist.
“Fight, fight? With humans?”
“Now there are only those who kill and those who die. “If it weren’t for them, we would have already died.”
She pointed to the village chief and said that it had become a battlefield. That wasn’t wrong. The bugs currently fighting against the Arin tribe were monsters that had slaughtered them without mercy until just before.
“Eve!”
There was no time to hesitate. She, called Eve, ran towards the village with a bow, intending to go alone.
Fortunately, her colleagues, who probably had the same thoughts as her, ran after her.
‘You evil monsters.’
She gritted her teeth when she saw the corpses of her compatriots rolling on the floor, and she and the elves joined the battlefield, shooting arrows filled with pressed mana.
The arrow, whose power was incomparable to that of an ordinary arrow, flew quickly, instantly breaking the enemy’s carapace and penetrating the body.
‘Thank goodness you’re fighting well. I was wondering if I should just keep watching.’
Junyoung, who was watching this, smiled faintly. If we fight together, we become friends. Considering that fact, it would be better to fight together with the elves, who are supposed to cooperate anyway.
“This place is worth the investment.”
After muttering, he launched the Glory Tower and began installing defensive turrets by investing the accumulated wealth. It was a decision that was possible because we had already experienced through the Northern Fortress that we should use this area as a base.
The defense turrets, which were built and leveled up in an instant, were soon shooting arrows and magic at high speeds to repel the bugs.
As the elves joined the Arin attack and defense turrets were built, the bugs began to push back.
“They are being pushed back!”
“Don’t let down your guard. Occupy even the cracks!”
The Arin troops, who had extensive experience fighting bugs, calmly pushed back the enemies and occupied the rift. The unclean and ominous hole that could spit out monsters at any moment was closed by the man who moved the mouse.
The remaining bugs that clog the hole are just remnants. Perhaps they knew this, but when the bugs were in danger of being annihilated, they quickly dispersed and ran away.
‘Oh, it doesn’t translate.’
Of course, we had to give chase. In the process, Junyoung, who witnessed the language difference between the elves and the villagers, spent additional points to be able to translate the elves’ language.
“Hey, how did this happen? “I can hear the words.”
“It’s because he’s watching.”
The elves who started hearing the other person’s language without doing anything were embarrassed, but those who had already experienced this were calm.
“We have to chase after those who ran away. certainly.”
In the meantime, Riena took a breath and burned her will to pursue. The person I vowed to kill at all costs
“Can not be done. The further you go inside, the more there are. “Those who attacked our village are just some of them.”
And Eve stopped that opinion. At that time, Riena and Eve’s eyes met for the first time.
‘Are you really human?’
From Noble mtl dot com
Eve flinched when she saw Riena, whose golden eyes were still shining.
What Riena felt was different from other humans. It was the power of heavenly protection that Riena possessed, but Eve did not know that fact.
