30 Tue – Retribution of the Legion (1)
[Already the 15th stem, reached the 35th floor]
“Is this the end?”
The corps went up in a haphazard manner.
Of course, not all floors were occupied.
It was just sending out scouts over and over again.
Until a force emerges that understands and blocks our actions, or we discover the singularity first.
“Nonsense.”
[The Legion has discovered a singularity]
and when you get there
The corps stopped reconnaissance.
It was the first to discover the peculiarities.
“What is it? Traces of civilization?!”
[That is still unknown. The corps divided the forces in half. Half continue to devour the occupied stairs. The other half conducts samples and reconnaissance as quickly as possible, facing upwards.]
“Is it a building?!”
I couldn’t see what he was saying.
I rubbed my eyes and wiped the phone screen thoroughly.
Nothing changed though.
A scout in the form of a small bee kept looking at it.
The 35th floor…this was a huge cavity.
The only difference is that unlike the other pupils filled with vegetation, no living things can be seen.
And what fills such a place is that it is filled with relics such as statues and structures that never occur naturally.
“under.”
I sighed as I saw the statue on the screen, half-broken on the floor.
It was half broken, but it was still possible to recognize the features.
Two eyes, a nose, a mouth… they were no different from people.
“What is it?”
[What you don’t know, of course, the Legion doesn’t know either. However, the history of the Legion always began by analyzing the unknown. At least, I can tell that those statues embodied something]
After all, goblins and orcs had eyes, nose, and mouth as well.
Apart from the corps, I also had my brain fully activated.
No matter how much I thought about it, it was right to see it as a trace of civilization.
Are these ancient ruins from a movie?
If so, where are the beings who made them?
If they exist, maybe they are also related to the guardian spirits.
So, who the hell are they?
Who were they that made such relics in such a cave?
[The scouts began to search every nook and cranny. Using the completely different sense of alienation from the natural environment it has experienced so far, the Legion inferred that these structures were made with someone’s intention, like our nests]
Reconnaissance continued, and the inside of the huge ruins could be seen.
I was speechless.
The whole of this great cavity was a relic.
Numerous rooms, structures that look like altars, etc.
Even the passage to the upper stairway was in the middle of the ruins.
“…hole?”
The scout raised his head.
A huge cylindrical passageway was open in the ceiling.
It was in a state of being engraved with complex patterns of unknown meaning.
[Whatever this place was, it was sure to be a good place to turn. After making a decision, the corps moved its troops. First of all, I was planning to occupy this place and use it as an intermediate base]
The main force of the corps went straight across the path the scouts had passed and headed here.
After all, other vegetation can no longer stand in our way.
If you checked all the twigs that stretched out in every nook and cranny, there was a high probability that they would probably leave it alone.
[Just under the 35th floor where the remains were found, the 34th floor. Is this where the moth was?]
An all-round legionnaire who reached just before found something.
The boy swept the floor with his hand.
Something white and shiny.
It was the moth powder of the last moth I dealt with.
[The fact that the gatekeeper exists, of course, there are things to protect beyond that]
The corps began to move again.
Finally, it was the moment when I first stepped on the 35th floor in question.
[Was it a trap?]
At that very moment, the variable occurred.
“What is this!”
[The corps is also figuring it out now]
The whole ruins were shaking.
Strange patterns engraved everywhere.
The light began to slowly enter the patterns.
I was terrified, but the Legionnaires did not move at all.
“What the hell is that…”
[Oh, it was better. All we have now is living organisms. I thought I would be able to find a clue by disassembling and eating those unknowns.]
The walls of the ruins cracked, and pale limbs popped out of them.
Her skin was so smooth and pale that she could see through, her tall and slender body, and her sparkling eyes.
One by one, they woke up and showed hostility to the legionnaires, who had a lot of strange patterns engraved like a stigma on their pale body.
“Unit… it doesn’t make sense. Seeing you wake up like this.”
I bit my lip.
Their overall appearance resembles that of a human.
Even the length of the hair or the presence or absence of genitals were enough to divide men and women.
It didn’t look like a simple beast or monster at all.
[It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone using a tool. The corps showed interest and, of course, faced it.]
As they approached them with old swords and spears in their hands, the Legionnaires also bowed forward.
Because we had no reason to back away.
“!!”
The patterns and eyes engraved on the bodies of those who roared just before the collision flashed and shone.
The crash that followed shortly thereafter.
What surprised me the most was that, surprisingly, those pale, slender bastards had the upper hand over us in strength.
*
“Anyway… I keep going to school.”
“More than anything else, other people don’t know yet. How big is the things that are happening now.”
Oh Yoon-ah muttered.
A school with a somewhat chaotic atmosphere.
Kang Do-yeon and Oh Yoon-ah’s school, which had been attacked by goblins, resumed school today.
However, it was not a study atmosphere.
Flowers were scattered all over the desk, and more than half of the teachers could not go to work.
The family of the missing person did not accept the situation and was in the process of opposing the funeral.
“Can you rescue me?”
“Well, I think I won’t be able to survive a day if I change my position and think that I was taken away by those monsters.”
Oh Yoon-ah was disgusted and shook her head.
It was the same with the robber who spoke up first.
She was usually strong, but if she was in such a situation, she was confident that she would collapse before anyone else.
“We’ll never go through that, we’ll live to the end.”
Oh Yoon-ah grabbed her hand.
“Are you talking to me like that?”
“Well, that’s… Anyway! It’ll all work out together. We, the Cheongsan people, will carry enough!”
Yoona Oh, startled by her snoring snort, staggered and pulled out her cell phone.
Kang Do-yeon was also interested in it and watched it with interest.
At first glance, it might be mistaken for a movie or a drama, but all the people in Oh Yoon-ah’s cell phone were real people.
“What the hell are these people’s abilities?”
“There is something called a racial characteristic. It is a kind of unique ability, but in the case of the Cheongsan people, the magic of the tribe that was originally handed down has been developed to an extreme, and they communicated directly with the spirits of the earth and wind.”
When Oh Yoon-ah was asked whether she believed in the stigma or whether she felt guilty, she quickly answered.
Of course, Kang Do-yeon had no intention of betraying Oh Yoon-ah, who currently has a straw.
It was just that he remembered the information and passed it on to his true side.
“Anyway, our tribe is competent and smart. Now, all the neighboring tribes have been unified, and there is only one thing left to do is expand.”
“…you don’t want to move on your own, do you?”
“Ugh.”
Oh Yoon-ah, frowning, nodded her head slightly.
In effect, Cha Ji-yeon, who opened herself up as a unit, was constantly in contact with players.
And he continued to work closely with them.
Oh Yoon-ah and Kang Do-yeon were also members of the organization, but they were not actively moving.
“Mom and Dad didn’t let me go.”
“Yeah. It’s indiscriminate murder. Besides, what if you’re a target for nothing?”
“It’s a bit disappointing, but I think it would be great if you could give the items Cha Ji-yeon gives to our tribe.”
“Yeah… there’s a way to do that.”
The number of possible interactions with each other was very large.
Kang Do-yeon, with her tongue stuck, suddenly remembered the units her brother was raising.
‘It wasn’t like a person…’
We used to be extremely careful with each other, but we did hear a few things.
Based on that, Kang Do-yeon decided that CNU’s units would never be human.
“It will probably take more time to do the class properly.”
“Yeah. At first, almost everything was self-study today.”
“Good bye then.”
Due to the shortened school schedule, Oh Yoon-ah and Kang Do-yeon broke up at the front door.
Oh Yoon-ah left in the car of her mother who came to pick it up.
The direction of the house was the opposite, and Dong-seung refused because it was burdensome to see the mother holding her daughter apologetic every time.
Staring blankly at the car moving away, she slowly walked down the road.
‘I don’t know if it worked or not.’
sighed a little.
Somehow, I was forced into it, but now I thought it was better.
If he hadn’t known the truth, he wouldn’t have been able to understand Shinwoo’s groaning alone.
“Ugh…? Ugh!”
But by the time we almost got home.
She contorted her face at the burning pain she felt in her wrist and grabbed her wrist.
