191 – Final Battle (2)
“Keueeek!!”
“…Tsk.”
Despite his zombie-like appearance, I pierced the criminal from the main prison who rushed at me at a fairly fast speed with my tentacles. I then frowned and took a slight step back.
“Gooooo…”
“Grrr…”
‘…Too many.’
I could hear their strange noises coming from the entrance of the main building far away, so it seemed like most of the prisoners and guards in the main prison had turned into monsters controlled by Heart.
‘It would be nice if I could control it with my abilities…’
Although it is my ability to be active in the fight against such a large number, there is no way Isea and the others would not have taken that into consideration.
Those guys who are rushing towards us in droves right now are already dead, so they are not subject to my ability to control ‘life’ on the ground.
It seems like they were already fully prepared to place hearts that were like counters to my abilities right from the entrance.
– Crackling…
But that didn’t mean I could leave like this.
I had to break through this place somehow and move forward.
Only then can we rescue Pandora, who is currently being held in there, probably on the top floor.
– Kugwagwagwagwang…!
With that thought in mind, I grit my teeth and extend my long tentacles to push the guys running towards me, when a loud noise like a bomb exploding begins to echo next to me.
“Since you are not alive, I will not do anything special to control your strength.”
When I said something, it was the sound of Diamond’s fist blowing away the zombies in front.
– Kugwagwang…! Kugwagwagwang…!!!
‘…It’s a good thing I brought you here.’
In front of Diamond, whose single punch was equivalent to a wide-range attack, the fragments of countless zombies were already piled up like a mountain.
“Uuuk… Ugh…..”
And the same was true for Miracle Shine, who was flying low on a broomstick and shooting out beams of light.
Diamond, who seems to have a unique belief, is also a diamond, but Miracle Shine’s limit release, which had always controlled his strength due to his status as a hero, was also remarkable for a wide-area killer.
“It’s so gross…”
However, seeing as she was floating in the sky, her expression was not very good, it seemed like she might have suffered a bit of a mental blow.
– Creep, crease, crease..
“Keueeek…!”
And in Rumia’s case, she was doing unexpectedly well.
It was moving among the monsters with the fluid movements of a gymnast, selecting only the critical parts such as tendons and eyes, effectively stopping their movements.
‘If you look at it overall, it’s doing well so far…’
But the problem is that the situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable.
“hehehehe… These guys are persistent.”
“Some of them even use their abilities! No, they’re dead, so how is that possible?”
“…….”
Because, after the advance team, which was presumed to be incompetent, was wiped out, the next group of guys who started flooding in were surprisingly able to use the abilities they were presumed to possess.
No matter how powerful the current party members were, dealing with so many talented people was tantamount to suicide.
“Grr? Grrr…”
“Kuhhh…!”
The good news is that each of them is not making individual judgments, but is being led by a collective consciousness.
Because of that, combat was relatively easier than dealing with actual living people, and there were situations where the guys themselves were defeated by each other’s abilities.
“Ugh…!”
But despite this, we began to fall further and further behind.
“No! What that guy is emitting is strong acid! You get out!”
“…That’s annoying.”
“Hey, you there too!”
“…….”
If they were to be imprisoned in this large prison called Karma in the first place, they must have committed at least a heinous crime.
And of course, the guards who deal with such guys are also those who have comparable force.
Is that why? Most of the abilities were each quite fatal and a pain in the ass.
“Oh…”
Sure enough, while trying to avoid the acid spraying forward, Lumia fell to the ground, unable to react properly due to her narrowed vision due to the bandages on the zombies that were ambushing her from the side.
“Gooooo…!”
“Grrr…”
“Yeah…”
And without missing it, the zombies start rushing towards her all at once.
– Whilick…
Fortunately for her, I had been keeping an eye on her from earlier, so I was able to extend her tentacles and save Lumia, who was about to be attacked by her guys.
“Ha, ha…”
“…….”
“…This isn’t going to work.”
As he held her like that and used her tentacles as legs to move to her safe zone, Lumia, who was breathing heavily, suddenly mumbled and took out something of her own from her arms.

“I guess I have no choice but to use this…”
And I saw something she took out.
“…No.”
He shook her head firmly and grabbed her arm.
“If you use that one more time, your body won’t be able to withstand it.”
What Lumia took out was none other than Justia’s gauntlet, which had crippled half of her body last time.
“I’m going to die a little later anyway, so what’s the point?”
So, I tried to stop her actions, but I looked blank for a moment at Lumia’s calm remarks.
“…But that doesn’t work.”
“Why?”
“….You should save your special moves as much as possible.”
Then, when I quietly avoided her gaze and mumbled that, Rumia smiled.
“That’s right.”
“…….”
“But then, is there any other solution?”
Hearing her continued words, I quietly began to look at the system window that had been displayed in front of me from a while ago.
‘Should I use this…?’
If you use the outstanding skills here, you will be able to get through that huge crowd of people and get inside.
However, no matter how relaxed the conditions for use are, if you abuse it, later battles will definitely become difficult.
And some skills even have cooldowns, so if you’re not careful, you could end up in a difficult situation.
‘What should I do…’
To be honest, the best solution would be for Lumia to use the gauntlet once again.
However, if that happens, it is clearly visible what will happen to her.
‘……..’
No matter how much she declared with her own mouth that she would die a little later, she still didn’t think that would happen.
Because…
“Hey, what are we going to do? Instead of breaking through, we’re being pushed back!”
“Hmm…! It’s a shame, but this is slowly reaching its limit…!”
I was quietly lost in thought, but was suddenly brought back to my senses by an urgent voice coming from in front of me.
‘…Should I have listened to Miracle Shine?’
And from then on, regret began to flood in.
‘Was I in too much of a hurry…?’
It was an idea that came to mind in an instant, but there were too few people to back it up to implement it.
If I had waited a little longer for the companions to arrive, wouldn’t the situation have been better than it is now?
“…Senior.”
“…….?”
“Are you regretting it again?”
At that moment, when she was chewing her lips with an expression tinged with self-reproach, Rumia’s usual laughing voice began to be heard from next to her.
“But don’t worry.”
“…………”
“The choice you made now is valuable in itself.”
However, I tilted my head for a moment while listening to those words that gave me a sense of déjà vu.
“…Thank you.”
Soon, he smiled quietly and began to walk forward again.
– Tsuzuzuzuzu…
As soon as those words were finished, I started to feel signs from behind, which straightened out my wavering heart.

– Turp, trudge…
“”Keeek…!””
As Kang Ha-neul begins to walk forward with a look of determination on his face, zombies coming from all directions begin to flock towards him.
– Pajijik…
But at that very moment, red sparks soared from far away.
“……!”
Heart’s eyes, who were watching the situation from behind the zombies, widen for an instant.
“Haaa!!!”
Ariel, who appeared at her perfect timing and hovered above her with her eyes dyed red, glared at her and clenched her fists with all her might.
– Sigh…
And at that very moment, someone’s yo-yo came from Hart’s side and into her arms at a sharp speed.
“Traitors… Be executed.”
“…….!”
“That was the rule, right?”
Mystic Shine suddenly appeared right next to her, whispering with a curious expression and swinging the yoyo’s string vigorously.
“Ugh…”
The unexpected surprise surprised me for a moment, but Heart soon began swinging her scythe along the yoyo’s path with a cold look in her eyes.
– Pabababababaak…!
“……..!”
In less than a second, the upside-down heart ace flew from the sky at incredible speed and stuck in her hand, blocking her movement.
-Chrrr…
And as a result, the heart is bound as if it were tied to a rope by the yoyo that roughly wraps around itself.
– Kugwagwagwagwagwagwang…!!!!!
In such a situation, the moment a sense of regret passed through Heart’s expression, Ariel’s turning blow shook the ground in the area of the Great Prison Karma.
“……..”
Thanks to this, as if by the miracle of Moses, the crowd of zombies was split in half, and the complexion of Heart, which was struggling while half floating in the air, turned pale.
– Pabababak…!
This was because Kang Ha-neul, not missing that brief opportunity, was approaching him through the gap that was split in half with a cold expression on his face.
‘No…..’
Heart, who was internally grinding her teeth while looking at the river sky, tried to gather all her remaining strength and balance her body.
‘Not yet…’
She was controlling more than 90% of the people in her prison, but she no longer had the power she deserved.
‘What I have to do…..’
– Ugh…!
“…….!”
Nevertheless, by the time she finally set foot on her own land again and tried to raise her own strength, it was already too late.
“Surrender.”
“…Ah.”
This was because Kang Haneul, who grabbed her neck with his hands, gave her orders in a cold voice.
– Tsuzuzuzuzuzu…
Immediately after that, the zombies crowding around collapsed helplessly.
“”…………””
Soon, a deep silence began to flow along with the cold air.
