Even though the meeting continued until deep into the night, as the meeting was sluggish, Ryu Gwang-cheol declared the end of the meeting first.
“It’s late today, so please stop. We have prepared a comfortable place for you.”
“… See you tomorrow, President Ryu.”
Wang Xian got up from his seat with a stiff expression and left, and Ryu Gwang-cheol buried himself in the chair.
The kindness that had appeared on his face a while ago was completely erased.
“Anyway, even if the swarms die soon, they can’t bend their pride. Who doesn’t know they’re riding shit right now?”
“You can still be proud of yourself.”
“I can’t. By the way, you’re being rude.”
Ryu Gwang-cheol cut off the words of his subordinate firmly. The subordinate, who met the narrowed eyes, quickly bowed his head.
“Sorry, I’m sorry.”
“I can forgive you, but I don’t think it’s that guy?”
“Hey!”
Seeing the saber-toothed tiger approaching all of a sudden, his subordinates were terribly surprised.
The deep breath of the beast seemed to treat itself as a delicious meal.
It was an obvious threat.
Not long ago, I remembered that the saber-toothed tiger chewed the traitors alive. His whole body was torn to shreds and he was devoured until he stopped breathing.
I never wanted to be like that.
The saber-toothed tiger was chewing on whether he knew it or not. It seemed that those sharp molars would dig into the nape of his neck at any moment.
“stop.”
Crer!
“It’s not what you eat.”
Only after saying those words did the saber-toothed tiger back away. The subordinate, who barely escaped the threat of the monster, sat down in his seat.
“The direct statement is to look at the atmosphere. Do you know what I mean?”
“Yes, sorry. I was off topic. Please forgive me.”
“If you know, go out.”
“Yes.”
The subordinate, who bowed his head as if to escape, went outside.
“Twitch!”
Seeing that, Ryu Gwang-cheol clicked his tongue. He was a pretty smart guy, so he was given an important position, but he was terrified of garbage because of his calmness.
“I’ll have to throw them away as food for the monsters soon.”
There are too many people who are satisfied with the little things when they say goodbye.
There is no need for such an idiot in the country he will establish.
Ryu Gwang-cheol, who decided on the treatment of his subordinates in this way, assessed the future schedule.
“It’s a loss-making business, but if you want to make the swarms fret, you’ll have to show it as a result.”
If the hard-to-reconstructed personality is ruined, not only the southern guys but also the gangs will bow their heads stiffly.
No matter how much my bastards gain face, the situation doesn’t change.
As long as he exists, no one can break through the monster barrier and reach here. They will never forsake themselves.
Even the stupid bro in the south will know.
He knew that his choice to stay here was right.
Ryu Gwang-cheol raised the corners of his lips.

Two harmful level 8 monsters appeared at the same time in Gaeseong!
As soon as the news spread, the government was completely blown away.
The president, startled by Chun Myeong-guk, summoned high-ranking government officials.
Astonished, they were also clamoring.
“We need to dispatch a superman right now.”
“It takes more power to fight two at the same time!”
“We need to seek the cooperation of the three Chomen, while also sending the Choe Jun-ho!”
I didn’t know that the chaotic opinions could hardly be merged into one.
Among them, Cheon Myeong-guk said.
“Currently, Junho Choi is staying in Gaeseong.”
“Then you are lucky out of misfortune.”
The deputy minister of awakening muttered with a relieved expression. But the crisis was not over yet.
“But it’s unreasonable for both of them to fight at the same time.”
“Why did two of them appear!”
“That is strange. Is it Ryu Gwang-cheol?”
“… … .”
The president became silent when someone burst out in anger.
Since the news of the diplomatic corps he dispatched was cut off, there was a high probability that it was an armed demonstration against him.
Even so, sending two plus-level monsters.
This is more than expected.
If this amount of power can be mobilized, why have they been locked up in the northern part of Pyongyang until now?
The president looked at Cheon Myeong-guk and asked.
“Isn’t it difficult for Choi Jun-ho to be alone?”
“I don’t know if it’s one, but there are two plus stage monsters. It would be unreasonable to even call him a superman Choi Jun-ho.”
“Well, I must have asked for too much.”
Even a superman alone against a plus-level monster had already surpassed the limits of human beings.
Not so long ago, I remembered the two plus-stage monsters that appeared in Haeju, Hwanghae Province and Jinju, Gyeongsangnamdo Province.
I forgot for a while.
Plus level monsters are beings that can destroy a nation.
The president, who made up his mind, gave instructions to Cheon Myeong-guk.
“Contact the Holy Guild. If it’s Choi Jun-ho’s business, he’ll move first. I’ll pay the facilitation fee, so please just rescue Choi Jun-ho safely… … .”
Then the conference room door swung open.
“President! It’s a sudden news from Kaesong!”
“What rudeness is this?”
“Going through the right process right now… … .”
“stop.”
When the furious high-ranking officials shouted, the president raised his hand and stopped it.
“Tell me.”
“It is said that Junho Choi and Junho Choi have dealt with both monsters that appeared in Gaeseong.”
“… … !”
“what?”
The unbelievable news made the president jump from his seat. It was the same with Chun Myung-guk.
They are not against two superhumans, but two plus-level monsters.
Two terrifying monsters that had to worry about extreme power consumption every time a large guild with superhumans hunted, appeared at the same time, but they hunted them all?
“Tell me what happened.”
“Yes, yes! Choi Jun-ho and Choin met Dasom in the form of an eagle and Hanul, a monster in the form of a wild boar at the same time. Among them, he damaged Dasom’s wings to weaken his mobility, concentrated on Hanul, and smashed his head to successfully hunt. Belatedly, Dasom recovered from his wounds and rushed in, but he tore off both wings and popped his head to successfully hunt.”
The bottom line is that both of them exploded their heads.
Perhaps because of the summary, I even had the illusion that it was easy to hunt a plus-level monster.
But the process will never be the same.
Even those who looked down on the plus stage monsters felt how strong they were when they appeared last time.
“… … .”
Everyone was at a loss for words at the unexpected result. The people gathered at the unbelievable achievement were silent.
In the meantime, reports continued.
“Damage was caused by Hanul’s assault, which destroyed the defense line. However, there were no casualties because the evacuation was quick.”
“It’s nice to hear you. I’m really happy. I thought I wouldn’t be able to get through it safely this time.”
The president sat down and sighed in relief. It’s not because personality is irrelevant. I shouldn’t have thought like this, but I was grateful that Choi Jun-ho was safe rather than the casualties that did not occur.
It was terrifying to imagine what would have happened if anything had happened to him.
“President.”
“Yeah, I’ll have to follow up.”

My body was relieved, but there was still work to be done as president.
When the surprise was gone, all that was left was anger. I couldn’t leave Ryu Gwang-cheol like this.
“Prepare for all-out war. Leave the least amount of defense power behind, and then start punishing.”
“Yes.”
Everyone shouted with determination.
* * *
I feel like my whole body is throbbing.
It was definitely not easy to face two monsters at the same time.
Originally, I didn’t mean to be this hard.
The aftermath of exerting power after a long time was quite large.
No matter how much I was, it was difficult to deal with two plus-level monsters.
Fortunately, one guy was the new boss, so I was able to attack the gap and incapacitate it for a while, and in the meantime, I was able to get rid of one.
Even wild boars have a surprisingly obvious behavioral pattern. At the beginning of the game, the target was eaten, and the speed of execution worked.
If it wasn’t for that, it would have led to a long battle.
If there was a long-term war here, the reconstructed personality would have been devastated.
I was amazed myself. Why did you make such a fuss?
If it was me in the past, I would have withdrew from the thought that I did not want to take even a little damage. And he must have taken a moment to attack the monsters.
I still know that it’s a more efficient and more reliable way.
But I was reckless.
“It must be proof that I have changed.”
never good It was an act that could possibly endanger my life.
But apart from that, strange emotions intersect.
I worked hard to keep the individuality that the citizens worked hard to develop.
Why?
Come to think of it, the reason was surprisingly simple.
“Because it’s annoying when it’s all broken.”
I had a sense of duty that I would never have done in my last life.
If this place is destroyed, where can you eat and sleep? For me, who hates homelessness due to the experience of hematoma, personality was a precious home for me.
There was another achievement besides safely protecting the individuality.
“This is the guy Ryu Gwang-cheol sent.”
The two demons didn’t attack because of instinct, but someone’s will and came to this place. As he smashed his head, he discovered a string connected to the monster and someone from the north.
This is the connection point I felt with the Remains Level 8 monster that I hunted the other day.
I thought it was a window through which to communicate with demons. He was planning to use a monster to destroy his personality, but it became a clue that showed me where he was hiding.
Above all, a gap was revealed in the tight boundary network of monsters.
It opened the way to his home base.
“Shall we take a break before we go?”
It’s been a long time since I’ve worked hard to protect the city. I gave up my intention to leave immediately and decided to take a day off and move on.
The next day, I greeted Cheon Myeong-guk, who came up just before dawn.
“This, you should rest comfortably, but things keep happening.”
“I know this is not the time.”
The more I say it, the more sorry I am. Berserker is telling me not to disturb the alone time given to a married man.
“You suffered. When the president heard that he was resting, he told me not to disturb him and to tell him when he got up.”
“okay.”
“Thanks to Choi Jun-ho and Cho-in, people were able to stay safe.”
“That’s it. After all, I was just doing my job.”
The useless dictatorship ended with that.
Rather, I should tell you about my business.
“I’m going to try to deal with Ryu Gwang-cheol this way.”
“Yes?”
“After chasing the monster he controls, I found out where he was.”
“Oh, then… … .”
“Since we have killed the monster and opened the way, it is the best time to enter the place where he is.”
“… … .”
Cheon Myeong-guk nodded his head without denying it.
The minority power in the north is an organization maintained by Ryu’s charisma.
It must be a structure that will inevitably collapse when it dies.
Or you can just take another chance.
Chun Myeong-guk looked at me with concern.
“But when Ryu Gwang-cheol dies, the demons… … .”
“Will it be out of control?”
Are you worried about that?
The monsters aren’t smart enough to get along after the guys they’ve been in a lot of trouble with until the control is lifted.
“Whether it’s gentle and rushing towards each other, we’ll go and watch it then.”
“… As soon as I see it, I will do it.”
“I’ll call you later.”
I notified Cheon Myeong-guk and started heading north.
* * *
As I went up north, I touched the brown pill. This loneliness stolen from Namgung-gi is the main culprit who has given up his conscience and sucked up my force.
I’ve been thinking about how to use this solitude for a long time.
I had no intention of manipulating others with this, but suddenly a thought occurred to me.
Could it be that loneliness can’t control monsters?
I decided to try it once.
After making up my mind, I continued heading north. It is safe to say that North Korea, neglected for decades, is a civilization that has collapsed.
Debris of the collapsed building was rolling over the floor, and plants dug into the cracks. I wondered what it would be like if mankind were to perish.
As we passed through the endless ruins of ruins, traces of humans began to emerge little by little.
It’s a bitch for not managing properly. Then, as we went inside, traces of human habitation began to emerge.
It was a much worse environment than the slums on the outskirts of the metropolitan area. Even that got better as we went inside, but this was closer to the environment in which a beggar lives, not a person.
“Twitter.”
It was a sight I didn’t like, so I passed it quickly. Then, after a while, what I saw was a splendid palace, completely different from the messy city.
It is the place where Ryu Gwang-cheol is. I approached the tin palace. The level of the Awakeneds guarding it was quite high, but the boundary network using the Force was not established.
I went inside without difficulty and found a tiger roaming in the spacious yard.
It resembles a saber-toothed tiger that I have seen once.
Although the size is not very large, the force felt is level 8 harmful.
But what should I say, I didn’t feel the instinct to stand up close.
The feeling of being wild is gone.
“I think I can subdue it… … .”
I remembered the loneliness in my arms. Just by looking at it, it looks like Ryu and Gwang-cheol have a link, but I’ll have to try it out.
* * *
This spacious palace was an amusement park for the saber-toothed tiger.
There were no competitors swarming everywhere, and he was free to do whatever he wanted.
Although they were greeted by a human master, to be precise, it was not a master-slave relationship, but rather a relationship of giving and receiving what they needed.
Geomchiho liked this place. You don’t have to fight for survival, and you can get plenty of food just by obeying the owner’s request.
Outside is a living hell. There were a lot of monsters that were much stronger than him, and in particular, the ‘it’ of Mt. Baekdu was a monster that made even him feel fear when he ran wild because the world was small.
In the case of today, there was a person I didn’t like in the middle, so I tried to kill him, but the owner stopped him. Humans are a special delicacy. I endured the promise of bringing food separately soon.
But the hunger I felt once did not go away. Can’t we just go out and eat humans? It’s creepy, but the owner doesn’t seem to care.
At that time, something strange caught on with the sense of the saber-toothed tiger.
The saber-toothed tiger reflexively turned and saw that the opponent had already approached.
figured it out too late Tal was the late response to being out in the wild.
puck!
The opponent’s attack has already penetrated the nape of the neck. The saber-toothed tiger who allowed a surprise attack struggled in pain.
This madman possessed terrifyingly strong powers.
Chiing!
In order to escape from a human who does not seem to want to kill himself, the saber-toothed tiger tried to keep distance instead of resisting.
But the human hand relentlessly followed. I couldn’t possibly get out of it.
Is this man a monster?
In the end, it became a state of being held captive.
The saber-toothed tiger’s eyes fluttered.
If I scream like this, will you save yourself? What if it gets thrown away because it’s useless? I didn’t want to go back to the wild. I didn’t want to be thrown into the cold and hungry battle for survival.
“Are you sick? Now, open your mouth and take your medicine.”
Then he forcibly opened his mouth and put something in it.
The saber-toothed tiger swallowed it because he didn’t want to die. Because he was very useful to humans. I thought that if I pretended to listen, I would save my life.
At first I didn’t know what it was. But something inside started to wriggle and dig into my head.
Since then, my consciousness has changed. The saber-toothed tiger saw himself moving according to someone’s command while losing control of his body. He bit the nape of the human who was feeding him, and ripped the body of the guards who were exchanging eye contact with each other. He then repeated biting and blasting people passing by in the hallway.
This is a breach of contract with the owner.
The saber-toothed tiger faced the command to move his body arbitrarily.
But the bug that took over the body was also powerful. In the body of the saber-toothed tiger, the two wills confronted each other.
Then I kept getting a headache. We had to drive out this infiltrating guy, but it wasn’t easy.
I won’t back off like this any longer. When the saber-toothed tiger rushed to the edge of the cliff, he did not back down and faced it head-on.
The strength he had been fighting against swelled out of control, and at some point exceeded the limit he could handle.
puck!
With the sound of something popping, the consciousness of the saber-toothed tiger disappeared.
* * *
I looked at the broken saber-toothed tiger with my head exploded.
The guy who fed the loneliness moved according to my will.
The result was a tin palace that became a sea of fire. It was a familiar existence in the tin palace, so he ran wildly, so he could easily dig deep inside.
By the way, solitude worked to control.
I couldn’t stand the loneliness because of the resistance.
Did you mean to put a little more force? If so, I might have been able to control it a little longer.
It didn’t seem like it was worth the money.
There was a lot of force that loneliness devoured.
In the end, was it fate that this would be the case?
“Is it because it’s made in China?”
make some good
I clicked my tongue and went inside.
