65 Tue – Monster of the Abyss (4)
The divine tree is the root of the moonlight fairies, and everything is the same. It took decades of time to barely manage to grow as much as I did.
However, the divine tree was now being crushed alive and falling down.
Another terrible tree that came out after breaking the divine tree was never the divine tree of the fairies.
“…how the hell.”
Wight muttered in despair when he saw the pattern that had lost its light on his body.
There was no longer any sense of resistance.
In this unreasonable war, all they have left is death, and they would be lucky if they had a choice.
Wight stood up trembling with his sword as a staff.
‘Isn’t this what our ancestors felt when they faced the endless waves of destructive bacteria?’
Despair and resignation from an irresistible catastrophe.
He pointed his sword at the enemy leader.
All the warriors fighting together were killed. But now, many monsters surrounding him were waiting for him without attacking him.
“Come. You… you were the queen of these monsters.”
He decided his last.
At least, it was to make a scratch on the being who seemed to be the head of these monsters.
The enemy was strong. He was faster and stronger than any enemy he had ever faced.
With one arm torn off and a hole in his stomach, it would be impossible, but he stepped forward nonetheless.
“Cuckoo!”
But as soon as he said that, the Legionnaires standing next to him attacked him.
He was pierced by the sting of a medium-sized legionnaire based on a giant scorpion, and injustice flashed in his eyes, which were caught in the air, but the vitality quickly disappeared.
‘I dare not have anything above me.’
The reason he was not respected at the last moment and was brutally murdered was so trivial that he would sigh if he knew.
“It’s too much…at least the last one…”
Kang Do-yeon took off her mask and muttered in a sad voice.
Even if you wear a mask, the memories remain. It’s a memory without inspiration, like spying on someone else’s diary, but anyway, he has the awareness that it’s his own memory.
Therefore, Wight was well aware of the desperation and desperation that the moonlight fairies showed.
‘This is an ecosystem, it’s nature. A flock of ants may be more cruel than us, and a flock of wild ants may be more violent than us.’
Of course, that wasn’t even a consideration for the Legion.
Fight to live, losers die, winners grow. Because it is not only the nature of the Legion, but also the law that all living things in this world follow.
Knowing that his feelings were hypocritical, Kang Do-yeon did not open his mouth any further.
‘Make a finish.’
The last order of the corps has been issued.
Again wearing a mask, Kang Do-yeon led the legionnaires into the city that had already been occupied.
All I could see was a corpse, a corpse, a corpse here and there.
Of course, those corpses were also just the same mass of nutrients for the Legion. There was no need to fix it.
After all, this space will also become the legion’s nest, and the corpses of fairies and legionaries will be digested as they are.
[Some of the Legionnaires who were scattered throughout the city found a passageway to another place]
“Was this some kind of mine?”

Meanwhile, the Legion found a passageway from the city to another place.Kang Kang-yeon, who saw the place through shared information, identified the identity of the place.

Mining tools were scattered here and there, and there were shiny ores buried in the bedrock.This was a mine after all.
[It was the moment when I found out how they obtained the divine stone, who cannot freely manipulate the power of the divine tree like the legion.]
‘This is a considerable harvest. The energy contained in a few densely-concentrated new stones is greater than that of a few hundred kilograms of organisms.”
A legionary plucked an ore with his bare hands. In this mine, if you use the corps’ detection engine, you can find more ores that give off a faint presence.
At the end of the mine, Kang Ji-yeon found another cavities connected by the Legion through the wall from the lower stairway.
It was here that the spell found there was blocked.
‘Now, there’s more left to deal with than here.’
There was nothing more to see until the end was confirmed. The corps looked away.
Kang Do-yeon, who knew what she was going to do, closed her eyes tightly and put on the mask again.
“Kill…Kill! KILL!!”
Thinking that he was proud of himself, the only surviving warchief screamed as he was being dragged out.
“The evil worms of hell… you monsters of the terrible abyss!”
Her scream echoed throughout the city. In fact, she was already half crazy when she saw the divine tree exploded in front of her eyes and her colleagues were torn to death.
Tongue had been bitten for a long time. It’s just that the army’s pre-injected infectious bacteria were forcibly attached to life.
‘I should make it a little quieter.’
The corps, dissatisfied with the scream, put it into her body and gave orders to the infectious bacteria that were currently taking over her body.
“Ha ha..!”
At once, black veins appeared all over her body, and she opened her eyes and trembled.
I tried to scream, but no voice came out.
‘Now you can hear my voice. Your brain, your lungs, your heart…it’s all in my hands.’
“Ahhh…”
‘Tell me everything you know.’
The terrifying pain of being directly manipulated and strongly stimulated by the nervous system that procures the senses is more than the burning pain that is said to be the worst pain.
Struggling with the unimaginable pain that brought her crazy mind back, she began to vomit all the untrue facts to make her feel comfortable, whether it was her pride or her hatred.
“That, so…Gee, the person of the earth…”
“human…”
‘human?’
And in the process, the Legion learned who dispatched the golems of the stem layer.

“Honestly, isn’t it a bit strange? Just ten years ago, when I was in college, aliens were only imaginary or creative beings. Of course, I didn’t expect them to be monsters that opened the gate and popped out.”
“At that time… it was all like that.”
“But, as you know, this universe was wider and more complex than that.”
Ji Chang-hyun laughed and muttered.
This was a kind of seal built in a gloomy corner of the first garrison where the Allied Forces main force temporarily retreated from the previous battle at Alpha Node.
I was there alone with him.
“There are a lot of extraterrestrials that are bigger than those monsters. They may have developed more than us. But I believe in us, humans.”
“A human? I’m sorry, but it’s the same person who harmed my brother after all.”
“…that’s right.”
As if my expression wasn’t good, he gently nodded.
“But Shin-Woo Kang. I have to admit this. That there are many good people. I’m not asking you to believe in the whole human race. Obviously, there are people who work for a universal cause, so I want you to believe in them.”
“Like your master.”
“It’s all he taught me. We can do it.”
He was very proud of who he is now.
After becoming a unit, he was taught that he opened his eyes and became stronger.
To be honest, it was hard to believe. The fact that the player’s purpose may not be survival and growth.
But Ji Chang-hyun, his teammates, and the player were already moving that way.
I couldn’t figure out what kind of ‘race’ they were tied to. Is it a real tendency?
“It’s time to show the human potential.”
His eyes lit up with a confident attitude.
I glanced at the word human possibility.
In the screen spread out on one side of the field of vision, there, the army that won the war interrogated the prisoners and finally found information that humans live on the ground.
What will the Legion think of humans?
In any case, the human race can be viewed as one of my own. Would you consider that too?
[The Swarm has found a new prey. A truly huge and valuable prey that can develop itself further]
“…”
It didn’t seem like that either. I’m not taking out my body because I know I’m watching right now, but I think I know what the Legion will decide.
Well, I wasn’t expecting it in the first place. From now on, I don’t think that all human species without a colony consciousness are all the same under the name of the species.
…and it seemed that something more was needed.
At least give me more gifts.
Or, give me something you’d like more than a gift.
“Chief of the branch. The commander of the Allied Forces is now…”
“Hey, I’ll have to go for a while.”
At that time, Ji Chang-hyun left me and went outside saying he would be away for a while.
It was so unfamiliar to me. Of course, he is an S-class hunter, and he is of the upper class in his social status, so it is not strange to meet a high-ranking person.
But now, he was not an S-class hunter, but a representative of a group.
To help the powerless who are victims of the app, and the battle between players and units.
And a worldwide organization established to make you stronger.
In fact, Ji Chang-hyeon’s player, who has not yet been identified, said that he gave his units his teachings and ordered them to spread the teachings to the general public with talent.
It was an unbelievable reality, but in reality the group was doing well. No, he was called a hero and was revered.
If I start to doubt whether those actions are pure good intentions or highly political actions, it’s proof that I’ve been seriously tired in the last few months.
“He was sure I already knew about the app because of my relationship with Cha Ji-yeon. But didn’t he tell the public about the app even though he didn’t like it?”
[Reasonable. When the existence of the app is revealed, it is you who are bothered. No matter what you think about this game, there is no reason to speak out. Even if you do, what can you gain? their anger? offended?]
“Yes.”
I had nothing to say, so I shut my mouth.
Well, it’s no use worrying about other people from my point of view right now. Now, after receiving the skills that Ji Chang-hyeon would teach me, the first thing to do was to become stronger.
