16 Episode – The Fate of Fate (2)
“I’m really worried ha.”
I have to go to school too.
Kang Do-yeon had already woken up early and went to school.
I wonder what kind of school it is in this situation, but I can’t just let go of everything and cling to it.
scratched his head violently.
I wanted to know how to deal with my line, or even the truth.
[Will that work?]
“I’m always a close friend, so you’ll know anything. You’re talking about fate, but even if you just say the right words, it doesn’t happen. Is it really related to this game by any chance?”
There was certainly anxiety, but it was still in the very early stages.
It’s more likely that it’s just a personal issue rather than being tied to this game.
In such a situation, at first glance, it seemed difficult to talk about this unrealistic situation, namely, the player and the game.
[That cannot be said. The judgment is yours.]
“I thought it would… it’s okay. Once you find out, that’s it.”
In the end, the method I chose with a sigh was not a very attractive method.
First, I sent a text message to my brother’s friend, whom I usually knew as an SNS message.
Please let me know if anything happens.
In the end, with such an unsatisfying ending, I got on the train going to school.
Fortunately, the reply came quickly and the content was not bad.
Today as well as yesterday, as usual, all I did was play with my friends and go to school.
Of course, I had to think about whether I could trust this friend or not.
I texted other friends as well.
“I don’t know. Just thinking about cancer makes me stupider than the Legion.”
[It seems that way to me]
“…”
I blankly turned on my phone.
It has become a habit to look into things even if there is nothing special.
The Legion, as always, was preparing for war.
[Now, they also seem to find strange things and are thinking seriously about responding]
The ‘body’ of the corps, which has already eroded most of one large stairway, has spread its roots to the thirteenth floor.
One and many, this gigantic creature smashed and burrowed even into the deepest rock of the cave, deforming its shape and expanding its own size.
This old and deep cave, its history is being changed by us.
[Their scouts appeared and began to investigate. Some of them were riding strangely avian-like creatures that appeared to have been tamed]
As I went up the stairs after seeing the rats, another change occurred in the vegetation.
It was the first time in this cave that a living creature with feathers appeared, not the reptiles or amphibians we had been seeing for a long time.
[Of course, feathers were not very mysterious to the Legion, who already had information about birds.]
The Legion, which has been steadily gaining experience since the cell days, is well aware of the importance of scouts.
The reverse also holds true.
Blocking the opponent’s reconnaissance.
Immediately, the air units of the corps were launched to take control of the air.
Based on the data we have accumulated so far, the force of that reconnaissance team is terrible.
[The feathered creature they were riding was quite fast, but it was already too late]
And, as I expected, not one of their scouts was lost.
[But it hasn’t even started yet. Behold, their power was strong enough to cross the other great stairs.]
The phone screen flipped.
I was speechless when I saw the screen the scout was seeing.
The scenery of the 15th stairway, the second large stairway, climbed up a rough and steep tributary and reached, was quite different from the 10th stairway, which was the first large stairway.
It was the same barren cave, but the vegetation was more diverse and, above all, small plants that were not moss stood out.
“…Is that their home base?”
I laughed out loud.
Fortresses and roads that embroidered the entire stairway, numerous nests, and at least thousands of rats.
I vaguely thought that the quantity was the pride of our corps, but apparently that was not the case.
[The corps was revising its strategy again. The ones I’ve seen so far are just a small group. The real war starts now]
They also seemed to be preparing for war.
Fortunately, while they didn’t notice our scouts, we were able to scour every corner of their territory.
It was then that I saw pieces of iron being transported in bulk.
“No, you crazy.”
And I couldn’t stand the swearing when I saw what followed.
A well-groomed silver body.
Good grip handle, etc.
“Why are you here?”
[It was the appearance of a tool unknown to the legion]
Armed with sloppy armor and flimsy accessories, a rat was carefully lifting and moving the object, a large-caliber pistol never seen in the military.
“I don’t know who he is, but the player doesn’t seem to be Korean…”
I rubbed my throbbing hair.
large caliber pistol? Can that pistol that grinds watermelon into powder really do a significant blow to us?
“I think I’ll just have to do it.”
[As long as they bring out new tools, the Legion has decided to move cautiously. First, to find out what that tool is]
It was a bit frustrating, but now that there is no way to communicate with each other, I had no choice but to leave it to the corps.
Still, he’s smarter than me, but I wonder if he’ll be able to find the answer to the gun sooner rather than later.
[The corps has sent an advance squad. We know that those who are prepared and prepared ahead of time are stronger. So I was planning to move before they were all ready.]
The maneuverable air units flew up again.
Its purpose was one, and it was to constantly harass them until the main force was formed and attacked them.
[They also noticed our attack. The first attack is a simple taste. Poison stingers and claws flew towards those who were moving quickly above the fortress]
They also united in the same way they had shown so far, spearing and shooting arrows at the larger legionaries.
Arrows fired from a short distance seemed to have penetrating power, and the carapaces the soldiers wore began to pierce.
[Indeed, you are not going to use a secret weapon here. But the Legion will continue to attempt such guerrillas. We don’t get tired, but they’ll definitely get tired]
A war of consumption that left only scars on each other.
The Legion will iterate over and over if it determines that this is an advantage.
You already know your strengths.
“Those rats must be shaking. If they were living creatures.”
The survival instinct is an instinct that must be possessed by life.
But the Legion was an exception.

“…”
Again.
Again, that black wave from the lower floors crossed the sky and rushed here.
Again, they raised their spears, crossbows, and swords to fight.
Because they were no longer just cave ground rats.
Characteristics, rapid reproduction and rapid growth, rapidly cycled and increased the population.
With each rapid cycle of generational change, they grew and got smarter.
It is no longer a rat that ate the corpses of other animals.
It is a local force that wants to occupy this great staircase and expand its power to the outside.
The pride of the new generation was indescribable.
“…!”
They bravely fought these invaders.
It wasn’t just one or two battles.
And through learning, the next generation quickly learned the answer and developed it anew.
Enemies that were much larger than themselves were also gradually defeated and annihilated.
There were enemies who grouped together, but one group of beasts did not dare compare to them in their unity and organizational power.
“&@%!!”
However, the enemies we are facing this time are somewhat different from the beasts we have faced so far.
Dozens of people perished in embarrassment.
The attack that spreads its huge wings and descends and presses it down was dense and precise.
It was more than those who listened to the commander’s instructions.
“@#~!!!”
But they didn’t give up.
He continued to fight over the corpses of many of his people.
Even death was immortal, and fear was crushed by fighting spirit.
Because if you were a warrior, it was natural to fight.
Because their beliefs were strong.
And, at the end of that grueling battle with the monsters.
they won
They cheered.
I’ve already defeated those black monsters several times.
Fraud has skyrocketed.
Although production and search activities were drastically reduced to fill the void of their dead people, victory is victory anyway.
This victory was not their own strength.
They bowed to heaven in line with the priest’s command.
For someone who always gives them a mysterious weapon and teaches them.
According to the knowledge that comes down, they began to grow because of the grace that someone began to give them.
“&…!”
Although they do not live very long due to their short lifespan, everyone believed that they would soon grow enough to occupy all of these unknown caves.
[But what an arrogant thought. Is an immediate victory a real gain?]
“%@*…”
Their momentum didn’t last long this time either.
The information that was barely passed on through the survivors of the annihilated advance fortress was only now beginning to show properly.
The great advance of the terrible monster army.
While they were constantly being bullied, the nest of the Legion that ate up the lower floors was spreading its creepy roots all the way here.
[The corps dispatched a large force to draw out their forces. You can see their confused faces. You’d probably be surprised, you didn’t know. that we are a legion]
As with rats, the legionary, a mix of different types, marched slowly and smashed everything in sight.
The rats were hurriedly gathering in the fortress.
Perhaps he sensed something unusual, the number was considerable.
[The corps fights once again. Units that took control of the air above the fiercely charging ground forces split the air]
Now air units have completely switched to the support role.
He grabbed a poison bag toad with his claws and threw it into the air.
Even if the rushing arrows burst the body of the swollen toads, the bursting toads only scattered strong acids.
While panicked by the bombardment, the artillery force that arrived at the crossroad sprayed poisonous thorns.

Meanwhile, the main force entering the fortress was the corps’ siege strategy.[Ah, is he appearing now? To boost morale and deal with strong enemies]
Then it appeared from above the fortress.
A glimmer of silver gleamed in the glowstone light.
