41 Tue – Struggle to Survive (1)
“…”
Kang Do-yeon, who stopped working for a while, took the ore in her hand.
The subtle energy sleeping in it was felt with a tickling sensation.
[Now we know how to use the energy in it. It’s not perfect. It’s not even optimized. However, it was possible to reproduce the explosive power]
“ね…”
She gripped the ore tightly.
At the same time, deformities began to occur in the hands and arms.
Body transformation is only possible for her, a special individual whose whole body is made up of pluripotent cells.
She bit her lip and resisted the terrible sensation of twisting and rearranging parts of her body.
[The moonlight fairy that we succeeded in analyzing. Another blood vessel existed in the body of some of them to deal with mystical powers]
‘at that time.’
In the mind of Kang Do-yeon, who had his eyes frowned, the image of a particularly strong ghost who had a one-on-one confrontation with himself, who had maximized his sense organs, flashed.
The figure that cut the head of a large assault type corps soldier at once with a shining sword.
[The spiritual power spoken of by celestial magic is similar to that. Therefore, the Legion decided that it would not be impossible to apply the two together]
The corps did not accept celestial magic as it is.
I kept thinking about a more efficient and effective way.
That was the conclusion I came to.
Kang Do-yeon looked at the ore that had been pierced in half in her forearm with a blank face.
New blood vessels mimicking the body of a moonlight fairy spread around the ore embedded in his arm.
[Our soul is mighty, but there is only one. Sharing it with the numerous legionnaires who have claws and teeth is not as powerful or effective, so it is difficult to use celestial magic to deliver a powerful blow. This is what was devised as a substitute for that, and let’s use the ore that already has power]
The master of celestial art, who has great pride, will be furious if he hears it, but for the Legion, celestial art is enough to help the Legion fully handle the power of the ore.
Kang Do-yeon slowly raised her ore-studded arm.
The power sleeping in the ore was awakened, and it began to erupt like an explosion.
[This is recorded in history. Although the beginning is weak and incomplete, it is the first point in time when the corps used the power of a higher level, the power of form, to twist reality in its own way]
A transcendent power that others call mana, magical power, spiritual power, divine power, etc., expressed through one’s own beliefs and will.
The force that no one could handle exploded and shot from Kang Do-yeon’s arm.
“Ugh, ahhh…!”
Gang Do-yeon herself screamed in fright at the large-scale explosion of blue flashes.
The blue flash that burst out soon became a thick beam of light, and the flash that hit the stone wall in front became a flame and caused an explosion.
Kang Do-yeon vomited blood and bounced off.
A recoil that even the strong body of a legionnaire could not withstand.
One arm was completely burnt to pieces, and a legionary supported her as she was thrown away.
“A power adjustment is necessary.”
And the corps, who had been watching the whole process, murmured with interest, and immediately sent in the other legionaries who were waiting.
Reconnaissance was not necessary.
no it was no use
Because whatever lives in me, I will kill and eat them all.
A black wave began to run violently and pour in.
The Legion saw through the eyes of the soldiers, who the hell was there. At least for those who survived the destruction of bacteria, it means that the basics have been established.
If that is the case, it means that there is a lot to gain when you eat it.
The legion tried again.
This was also one of the expressions I learned and used once.

“Have you ever left?”
“…quiet.”
“In the first place, they never make a sound. When fighting, chasing, or even dying.”
In the middle of the square, crowded with people with worried faces.
With a pale face, he muttered in a trembling voice.
His voice was full of fear.
The tip of his pointed ears fluttered.
In contrast to the valiant figure he usually showed as a member of the search corps, the crowd grew louder.
“Where the hell did they come from?”
Someone from the crowd murmured in a dark voice.
But no one gave an answer.
They have struggled to survive from the plague-infecting agents that have occupied the outside for many years until now.
The destroyer that infects all living animals has been the ruler of this labyrinth.
I know it well because I have been fighting and running away.
“I couldn’t believe it. The image of him fighting a war with thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of Infested. We hoped that we could finally be freed from the Infected, but it wasn’t.”
he ripped his hair out.
I don’t know who it is, but anyway, as the number of infected people in the vicinity plummeted for a short time due to the appearance of an unknown force, I rather wished for Lee Jae-yi.
But that was a terribly ignorant idea.
A new predator that slammed an old predator was too overwhelming, even more terrifying.
“Don’t worry too much, Felix.”
“Narian.”
Then the crowd split up and a woman appeared.
She is a member of the aristocratic class who has been the leader of this group from generation to generation.
Called Felix, he looked at her and only relaxed his expression.
“It is rather an opportunity. A chance to escape from the long-standing oppression, beginning with our ancestors.”
“I…”
“If we make good use of this gap, we will have a chance.”
She placed her hand on Felix’s shoulder, trembling.
He smiled faintly.
Hope. Obviously, they haven’t given up hope yet.
“Above all, we are not alone.”
“That’s right.”
She, Narian, turned around.
Felix and other residents turned their gazes to look back.
A large joint that has been cultivated as a place of living for many years.
Because their hope was growing in the center of this town.
“Our ancestors did not forsake us and gave us the benefactor of being a player, so by his grace we are able to nurture the divine tree again.”
She said looking at the seedlings that were just growing.
It’s just an ordinary looking seedling, but the stakes around the seedling are special.
The stakes were all bounties given to them, giving them the power to replant the assets of their forefathers that they had not yet restored.
“By the power of the divine tree, we will surely survive.”
She murmured as she looked down at her hand, which was oozing with a soft light from the pattern she had drawn.
A divine tree is a special tree associated with her race.
It was also a means to recover the lost power and revive the race.
“I’ve been thinking too much. That’s enough. We can do it.”
Felix reassured his colleagues and people.
Negative thoughts were thrown away.
‘The only thing left is the struggle.’
In the end, they had to fight to survive.
Whether the target is the terrible infestations that destroyed this world long ago, or the mysterious new monsters.
will keep fighting
But now things are better than ever.
Not long ago, there had been an existence that was of great help to them.
“Felix-nim. Hey, eat this.”
“Thank you, Nia.”
He smiled and stroked the head of the kid who brought him a drink.
“You are our future. By the time you reach adulthood, you will grow taller, and then you will definitely be able to go out.”
“I’m going to be a search party too.”
“No. When that time comes, we will become true warriors. When we get out of this place and out of this labyrinth, we will restore our former glory.”
“Then the strongest warrior.”
Ai said with a determined expression that he would become a strong warrior.
He was satisfied with it.
There are so many great people to follow, so I thought I should pave the way for myself.
“…!”
“Aww!”
But at that moment.
With a huge explosion, the thick stone gate that had been strictly guarded shattered and scattered debris everywhere.
“Hey, this can’t be…”
Felix’s face turned pale as he lay on the floor with the child in his arms.
That thick stone gate is one of the defense devices that contain the wisdom of our ancestors.
The thick stone wall that no other infectious material had ever penetrated was shattered with one blow.
Shining through the thick dust was so many red eyes that it was hard to count the number of them.
“I’m all with weapons!! I’m the enemy!!”
At the sound of someone’s tearing shout, he instinctively got up from his seat and drew the sword from his waist.
‘You are a god. And you are the fairy god of another world who do not know who it is.’
This moment as if time stopped.
He clenched his teeth for the things he wanted to protect.
He could only hear the sound of his heart beating and breathing in his ears drenched from the binge drinking, but just before the crash, he finally made eye contact with Narian, who jumped out from behind just before the crash.
“Die, beast!”
He lowered his sword, emitting light from the patterns drawn on his body, toward the giant black beast that was running towards him with six red eye lights shining through the cracks in the carapace of his head.
The sword received strong resistance and broke the carapace and penetrated into the flesh.
The Legionnaire’s muscles were tough and sticky, but he slashed them with force.
In the end, Felix succeeded in defeating the enemy with his first blow.
“ah…”
But that was only the signal that signaled the beginning of the struggle.
Along with the other comrades who rushed in with a shout, he had to stop the incursion of an endless legion.
