Good news (2)
Primorye’s governor, Oleg Kozemyak, continues the conversation despite serious injuries.
The subject is the situation after we leave the battlefield.
If the body temperature was excessively high, and it was not a proper mental head, both the way of speaking and the eyes were very clear.
“The smoke that covered the battlefield was truly terrible. Not a single ray of flare light came through. I heard the commander gave the signal to retreat… It was already too late then. I put a horse behind the train, but I couldn’t get there.”
“You have lost your sense of direction.”
“yes. Even the compass didn’t work. They just go back and forth without stopping, and they didn’t tell me the way out. However, those with reason left escaped the battlefield based on the direction of the monster’s attack. There must be a train on the other side, so I ran away relying on vague hope. And, as if by God’s grace, even a small number of people survived.”
“How many?”
“Forty one, including me.”
“… … .”
“A total of 8,000 people were poured into the Far East Military District’s 7,000 troops and about 1,000 people with special abilities… Forty-one returned. So, it doesn’t matter that both legs are missing.”
As a result of the disastrous result, I heard the sound of breathing from behind, but my eyes were still fixed on the front and did not move.
In fact, it was because the governor’s calm complexion was more curious than the result of the battle.
There was not even a speck of anger or fear.
“It’s easygoing for a big loss. Do you have a corner to believe in?”
“It’s a corner to believe in… … . There is no such thing. Well, fortunately, among the misfortunes, the high-ranking talents survived. That is definitely good news.”
“A high-ranking person?”
“Ia Rozhkova, Greta Andreev, Erast Denisov.”
“… Haven’t you met Allamandra face-to-face? I lived well.”
“Of course you paid the price. The servants are all dead, Ia Rozekova’s left forearm is cut off, and Greta Andreev’s face is half-skinned. Still, Erast Denisov, a first-class talent, is fine, so this is good news.”
Then, all of a sudden, he sends the person who was working hard on treatment and casts his eyes behind me.
As he turned his head and followed his gaze, Lim Seol-ha looked at him with his shoulders narrowed, and Park Geon-yeong looked around the office and made an awkward expression.
Since I don’t know Russian, I lost my concentration.
However, the man who looked enough to look at the strangers soon brings out the main topic.
“Then shall we listen to you guys? I’m tired, but my body seems to be fine.”
“… … .”
“Oh, I don’t mean to criticize. Wasn’t it our fight in the first place? If you can’t afford to talk comfortably, you can leave straight for the port of Vladivostok. I’ll write you a permit right away.”
It is possible to blame others for the bitter defeat.
He smiled blankly, even though he couldn’t erase his tiredness.
“… It’s fine?”
“Of course it’s not okay. My plans all messed up. If the operation was successful, the central government would have sent down a high-ranking official. You must have taken a picture with the Korean prophet, published a report, and asked a few small things. In fact, it should have come right away, but it was delayed because the railroad was like that.”
“Don’t do that. As you can see we are fine. I was badly exhausted, but I didn’t take much damage. Aren’t you feeling bad?”
“Is there an owner who doesn’t like the fact that his guests are fine? Besides, there’s no time to feel bad. Primorye is in turmoil. You must have seen enough on the way. Sooner or later, if Allamandra advances eastward, Artium and Vladivostok, as well as the easternmost military city of Nakhodka, will fall in an instant… We are busy making evacuation plans.”
“Where to evacuate? Overland is hard.”
“Right. Most of Primorye is a barren land. You can’t drive more than 200,000 citizens into the mountains. That’s why we’re sending ships. I’m thinking of relocating to Sakhalin Island. Vladivostok citizens have already begun to evacuate. but… Will you guess it again? Will the evacuation succeed or fail?”
“It’s a failure.”
“… … .”
It took a while for a blunt reply to pop out in response to the playful voice.
I call out Toya’s name before the governor’s complexion turns paler.
Since he was a prophet, his chattering was annoying, and considering the other person’s details, there was nothing good about taking more time than this.
“Toya, are you taking out your luggage? Take it out now?”
“yes. take it out.”
thud!
Soon after, the head, which was carried on the giant’s back – the size of an adult’s torso, tumbled to the floor.
Allamandra, no.
head of a gray eagle
“… What is this?”
“Allamandra.”
Silence lingers in the room at the simple reply.
The bodyguards, who showed off their sharp eyes, openly opened their lips, and the governor almost fell while trying to get up instinctively.
I wondered if this was the soundless clamor.
“How did you catch it?”
“well.”
“… … .”
“… The guy was seriously injured. I just went and finished it. So there is no need to evacuate. Rather, if you counterattack, you won’t know.”
“counterattack?”
“The high-level monster has disappeared. We won’t be able to release thousands of them from the breeding grounds, so now is the time to repair the Trans-Siberian train.”
On the way to the city hall.
If the soldiers checked the body of the monster and opened the way without a word (those who presented only their IDs were caught), the governor, who even learned his clear identity, only twitched his snout.
“… Are you sure? Does it look different from what I saw?”
“Because the light is gone. This is the body.”
“… Did you bring only the head?”
“yes. They said it was too big to bring them all. Instead, I brought the coordinates. Go find it later.”
The moment I thought the explanation was too short.
Suddenly, the other person’s self-talk poured out.
What happens to the monster’s ownership, stopping the evacuation procedure and bringing together the forces of Spaskdalny and the city of Lesozavodsk.
He was busy calculating the aftermath while spewing out random stories.
“Everything I said so far must be true, right?”
“There must be a jewel in Allamandra’s head. Why would you lie when you dissect it?”
“… Yes, it is.”
then at some point.
A hint of doubt turns into a clear sense of relief, and the governor’s face also turns bright.
About two or three minutes after the head was thrown.
It’s time to recognize reality and be happy.
“Um, I’m sorry. I unintentionally questioned you.”
“it’s okay. I’m done with my business, so write me a permit. It would be nice to have a place to rest.”
“permit?”
“… He said he would write it anytime.”
“Ah, leaving for the Vladivostok port? That doesn’t work.”
“… … .”
Why do people fall for Samcheonpo after going well?
Crying- I was so irritated that I glared at her fiercely, but her expression returned to me as if she were both happy and troubled.
“It’s not the Russian way to send a benefactor like this. There will be uproar in the central government as well. wait a little bit If Allamandra disappeared… No, it’s gone, so it won’t take long to sort things out.”
“I hate two words in one mouth.”
“… I will gladly accept your hatred.”
It’s not that it’s not wrong, it’s not that I’m a benefactor, but it’s my own decision… It was just Russian.
Damn guys.

A week later, Artium.
Unlike Seoul, we spent time in a city lined with 3-4 story buildings.
There was no shortage of food, but other than that, limited freedom was given, and after setting the ball, the area available for movement was reduced.
It wasn’t to the extent that he couldn’t leave the mansion, but it was because Russian officials followed him every time.
Therefore, I am next to City Hall.
Being shut up in the dorm is also inevitable.
＜Stop taking the medicine.＞
“… You have pain.”
＜It’s because the body is growing rapidly. It’s not that I don’t have recovery-type abilities, what should I do if I try to solve my knee pain with painkillers?＞
As I stabbed the treatment kit into my thigh, the parrot’s nagging tickled my ears.
I didn’t respond as I buried my body on the sofa.
Considering that the side effects of skill casting had disappeared over the past week, it made sense.
Because I took this opportunity to combine [Tissue Regeneration] and [Body Energy Conversion], which took an intermediate level, to evolve into [Three-Dimensional Recovery].
It was even more so when the cost of killing Allamandra was included.
[Complete Achievement: Defeat the Apostle of the North.]
[Reward: Acquisition of the ability ‘blood flow control’.]
[Three-dimensional recovery] is called [blood flow control]. In the future, if you obtain [Biogeneration], the road to the extreme of recovery, [Physical Restoration] will be wide open.
It’s a skill that can make you laugh at even growing pains.
But even so, it’s not easy to endure the feeling of being stabbed in the joints. Rather than the pain, the fact that my body wasn’t normal bothered me.
＜Isn’t your body itching because you couldn’t fight properly? Being still is something that requires effort. Whether it’s recovery or growth. It takes both ability and time.＞
“… … .”
＜If you can’t stand it, go through the list of rewards. You’ll have to change your fighting style to match your new skills.＞

Maybe I should have gone on a city tour like Lim Seol-ha and Toya.
Do you think of the faces that were excited to see the lotus lake… feel more subdued
yes.
Certainly, it would be better to look back at achievement rewards.
[Accomplished Achievement: Defeat Allamandra.]
[Reward: Acquire the ability ‘Concentration’.]
[Accomplished Achievement: A Despicable Winner.]
[Reward: Obtain the supernatural ability ‘Moonlight (月光: Moonlight)’.]
According to the parrot’s explanation, [Concentration] can be combined with [Disruption (Tear and Burst)] to break through the top of the energy release technology.
Unlike the former, the latter was an unheard-of technology, so it was ambiguous to evaluate it.
＜It’s a conditional ability. In a situation where the moon is in the sky, you get several advantages. Supernatural efficiency, destructive power, physical ability, etc. It’s similar to one of your special abilities, ‘Revenge’, but has its strengths as it has environmental restrictions.＞
“Now it looks like we only have to choose to fight in the middle of the night.”
＜You should do that if you need to. For reference, ‘revenge’ and ‘moonlight’ can overlap.＞
It would have been better if the lasting ability had been excluded. It was difficult to accept it positively because even that condition was attached to it.
Knock, Knock, Knock!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the front door.
After getting up from the sofa, I passed by the living room and kitchen. A faint voice came through the door.
“excuse me. Can we talk for a minute?”
“… who.”
“My name is Nina Alexi, an agent of the Russian General Intelligence Service.”
“… … .”
“… excuse me?”
Of course, the door doesn’t open.
I still feel uncomfortable, but everything annoyed me.
