148 – He was here
Abyss of black feathers visible in front of you.
The A-class hunter couldn’t even think of running away from the terrifying killing spree he emitted, just staring up at him as if frozen.
It slowly stretches out its hand towards itself.
The fact that it looked like an eagle’s claw, and contained as much terrifying power as its hideous appearance, was evident from the fact that I had just torn off the fixed battery with my bare hands.
‘Am I… am I… dying… like this?’
I knew that one day we would meet.
As long as he was a soldier, it was only natural to die a glorious death on the battlefield, he thought.
But.. this moment when it came in front of my eyes.
The thought of an honorable death never crossed her mind.
What comes to mind at this moment is the faces of precious people..
The face of the family you will no longer see.
That was all.
“Mom… ”
As she sheds tears, she spits out her last will.
and..
-Paaa!!!
The next moment, red bloodstains began to splatter in all directions.
But.
At this moment, the emotion on her face began to change from pain to surprise.
“… uh?”
“What are you blankly doing! run! It’s time out!”
A shrill voice from behind your back.
In response, she hurriedly got up from her seat and began to move, as if a switch had been switched on.
A scene in her eyes right after that.
that..
A dark-haired woman who blew off the feathered Abyss’ arm with a giant scythe.
At the same time, it was a grumpy-looking woman with golden hair and brown skin holding two swords and protecting the woman with a scythe.
However, at this moment, she could no longer afford to pay attention to the situation in front of her eyes.
“All retreat! The operation is over!”
“Hurry up everyone! Retract the volley as far as possible to the target point!”
The hunters abandon the defense facilities and start running away with urgent voices.
At the same time, the barely maintained wires began to crumble in an instant.
As a result, the group of Abyss who had been in front of them began pouring into the base like a flood.
-Tadadadadadang!!!
Immediately after that, the Abyss penetrated in earnest and automated devices began to operate.
Automatic aiming cannons and autonomous action drones installed everywhere bought some time, and the hunters defending the base were able to quickly enter the interior.

“Kurrureuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… .”
“This guy… is not normal.”
“It’s not as good as Talos before, though.”
Abyss of black feathers in front of you.
Looking at that, Are and Kwon Soon’s expressions began to harden.
A guy whose arm was cut off in a sudden strike.
However, even in such a state, his combat power was at a level that could never be ignored, and rather, he was continuing the battle by exchanging several sums against this side.
In fact, a confrontation is established against two people with the combat power of an S-class hunter.
Even though one arm had been cut off, and even excluding that point, it was clearly lower than this one, but even excluding that point, the fact that one Abyss’ fighting power was comparable to their own was shocking the two in many ways.
In addition, the admiration for Jinhyeon’s meticulousness, which had them on standby in case of an emergency, was a bonus.
‘The problem is that there aren’t two of these guys right now…’
Even though this guy was the only one who entered the base. Right now, just over there, dozens of monsters that looked just like this were coming.
Literally, if you just deal with them, you won’t be able to get your bones together.
It was the moment when the two of them were looking for an opportunity to retreat while feeling appalled about that fact.
-Tadadadadak!!!
-Paagagak!
The next moment, a sudden barrage of machine guns flew by.
It blew off the head of Abyss, who was preoccupied with dealing with the two,
Accordingly, the eyes of the two people automatically turned to the person who gave such appropriate support fire.
“Thanks Glass.”
“Greetings later, hurry up.”
The two of them nodded slightly at Glass’ words and immediately started moving.
Then, they quickly entered the base through the automatic defenses that were firing until the end.
And after a while, as the automated turrets that continued the last stand were destroyed, the Abyss began pouring into the base without hesitation.

– “Kill them all! Destroy everything in sight!-
Seo Ji-yoon, who gives orders through thoughts
In response, a huge number of Abyss began pouring into the Kaesong defense line as it was ordered by it.
It is said to be a defense line, but in fact, it is a huge fortress that can easily accommodate more than 100,000 troops.
However, the place that was originally full of people and weapons began to be filled with countless Abyss in an instant.
From the aisles and corridors to the parade ground and the central command post.
Following Seo Ji-yoon’s order to charge, the Abyss entered wherever they could, even through a needle hole, and at the same time began destroying everything in front of them.
‘It’s finally been captured, it took a lot of hard work to get here…’
The Gaeseong defense line is rapidly falling as soon as the front is pierced.
As she saw and felt it with her own two eyes, Seo Ji-yoon’s heart began to fill with emotion.
It wasn’t long before he became an Abyss, but Seo Ji-yoon became assimilated with them and possessed their thoughts.
At this moment, the events of the process of getting here from Hamgyeong-do, far away, began to flash through her mind like a kaleidoscope.
‘It’s over now… Gaeseong has fallen, and the remaining defense lines are all insignificant. With this, the long-cherished wish of us Abyss has practically come true.’
Buildings, including the quarters, began to be destroyed as if they were being swept away from the outer walls, and the drones and turrets that had been pouring bullets into countless Abyss according to the program were also destroyed.
The place where humans originally stayed quickly began to be filled with Abyss, and finally Seo Ji-yoon and the Abyss who were escorting her surroundings also began to enter the inside of the individual defense line.
With this, all the troops under its command came here, and with this, the Kaesong defense line was completely taken over.
By the way..
‘… yes?’
The next moment, as Seo Ji-yoon started to get away from the afterglow of emotion that had lasted for a while, a question began to appear in Seo Ji-yoon’s head.
‘… What is it?.. Something… a bit… strange.’
For a while, it was intoxicated with the afterglow of victory, but as the emotion faded, it finally began to regain its composure.
It is only after coming up here that you start to see the facts.
that..
It was true that the appearance of the wires in front of my eyes was so neat.
Of course, the smell of blood was vibrating everywhere, as well as destroyed facilities and abandoned weapons.
And the wreckage of the destroyed building was all over the place.
However, at this moment, Seo Ji-yoon finally began to notice the facts that he had not noticed until now.
‘No matter how much I look around, I can’t see any corpses… Human corpses…’
There were Abyss corpses scattered all over the place, but no human corpses were visible.
As for the smell of blood, it was too late to notice because the smell of Abyss blood was so strong, but there was hardly anything human in it.
‘In addition… Come to think of it, I haven’t seen any human corpses since I came this far. I’ve seen countless crashed drones and destroyed defenses, but there’s not a single human body… How… how did you just know this?’
The state of being entrusted to the torrent called the flow of war.
Plus, the peripheral vision that was obscured by the veil of darkness.
decidedly…
Amidst the formidable resistance, the word ‘victory’ that began to appear in front of my eyes… up to the very sweet temptation.
‘No way… no way…’
I started getting goosebumps.
It wasn’t simply because his children couldn’t kill a single human being.
A human she knows who runs an army this way.
There was only one person like that.
‘Lee Jin-hyun… . The man… the man was here… and that means…’
Who was Lee Jin-hyeon that it knew?
Even if he gave up everything, he was a person who would never tolerate the sacrifice of his soldiers.
But what’s even scarier is…
In the meantime, he is a person who can create a formula that brings about a near-perfect victory while inflicting terrifying damage to his enemies.
‘monster… More terrifying than tens of thousands of troops… than thousands of hunters… There is a very high possibility that such a guy led this war.. That means…’
by the nature of that person,
The moment he realized that there was a ruse, he already knew that there was no room left for him to use his hands.
As soon as he recognized that fact, a dark shadow began to fall on Seo Ji-yoon’s face.
For the first time since becoming an Abyss, emotions are displayed on its face.
Despair…and fear.
At the same time, a creepy smile began to form on the lips of the person who designed all of this at that time.
“I won.”
