Chapter 195
Gaecheon (2)
It was a strange sight.
A number of monsters that an ordinary Awakener might have been able to catch all of them even if they risked their entire lives, attacked.
All those monsters disappeared in just three matches. Literally evaporated.

Jack’s sword made dots from top to bottom, from left to right, and right in the middle.
with three swords.
three attacks.
That’s enough.
When his three swords, which had been terribly harassing me in the Vatican, were wielded—
＜───────!!＞!
—Monsters of all kinds slammed their heads on the floor.
There was not a single exception.
The flying guy falls to the ground.
The monster’s wings, which were made of film, were torn to shreds, making it difficult to recognize their shape.
The guy running on the ground hits his head as if he were slipping.
His legs were cut off by a sword strike drawn horizontally with the ground.
Something that was digging into the ground could not even leave a trace as it was ground together with the ground at a point that pierced the air.
“… … such crazy.”
While I was muttering at the spectacle unfolding in front of my eyes, Jack, who swung his trinket, exhaled quietly and shook his sword in the air.
A streak of blood is scattered on the snow field.
After arranging the sword neatly, Jack took the lead sword.
With a clear metal sound, the shining sword disappeared into the scabbard.
And when he’s got his sword back.
“No, no way… … . Can I do the same number alone?!”
“… … You seem to be stronger than last time.”
No monster could stand with its head erect in front of Jack, just sticking its head into the ground and spitting out hot blue blood.
The entire snowfield was stained with the monster’s blue blood.
The monsters that came like an avalanche of meat slowly slowed down and stopped just a few tens of meters away.
Something ‘tuduk’ rolls over the snow field and comes to my feet.
The neatly cut monster’s supply and demand lost its owner and wandered, rolling all the way here and caught on my toes.
When my eyes met the pupils of the monster who had risen up, I unknowingly raised my hand and stole the scruff of my neck.
i’m crazy too For what reason did you attack a monster like that… … .
It was already in the past, but when I recalled that moment, it felt like cold sweat was forming on the nape of my neck.
I will never fuss again.
As if thinking the same as me, I heard a dry swallowing sound from Desiree’s direction.
In the snow, Jack turns towards us, with a mountain of corpses made up of monsters behind his back.
“Then let’s move. We have a long way to go today.”
The hem of his thick coat fluttered in front.

Jack’s twitching lips caught my eye.

The road to the center of the city was not difficult.
.
.
.
No, I will correct it.
To be precise, like her words, it was so comfortable that a yawn came out of her mouth.
“Is that person working harder than I thought?”
Anya, who was walking next to me, whispered in my ear.
I nodded in response, and at the same time, the monster jumping off the 5th floor shopping mall along the main street we were walking on went crazy and split in half before leaving the rooftop.
Elizabeth cast a nonchalant glance at it.
After entering the city center.
There were several attacks, but each time they were cleaned up by Jack’s sword, and only intermittent raids were made like now.
I couldn’t see the same number of monsters as when I first encountered the city.
How much free time did you spend like that?

Jack, who had been walking in front, stopped. When he stopped, we, who were chasing after him, naturally stopped as well.
“Golden Sun. I have a problem. It seems that you, the client, need your opinion rather than personal judgment.”
“… … ? What the hell is it?”
“You see for yourself.”
Following Jack’s finger pointing to the end of the boulevard, I narrowed my eyes as I stepped forward, witnessing a literal ‘bizarre sight’.
I wasn’t the only one who reacted to the grotesque sight.
“… … The monsters are armed.”
As Desiree said with her mouth wide open.
Occupying the end of the road leading to the transverse train station, the monsters blocking our way were waiting for us armed and orderly, lined up in rows.
It looked like a well-trained elite army.
The moment reminded me of Nikolai’s diary I had seen on the way to the city – Khabarovsk.
The brain that started working helps to understand the situation.
Only then did I understand what was written in Nikolai’s diary.
“Is this what it means to make a ‘soldier’… … .”
I clicked my tongue and took out Yeriel from the waistband.
There are plenty of armed monsters.
However, that is only a level with cold weapons and basic, shameful to say, armed with a stick.
Like the monsters in front of me, I don’t plaster my whole body with ‘relic’.
I don’t know if there were only monsters there, but a ‘human’ who looked like a commander was riding on top of a four-legged monster resembling a horse, screaming and swinging the baton around.
They were the ones who turned humans into monsters, so it seems they have the means to control the monsters they created.
Coming all the way here, I had a question.
It takes a little time to turn the citizens of the city into monsters, but it is possible if you create an internal collaborator.
This was evident even by looking at Nikolai.
However, there were a lot of doubts about ‘Where did all those monsters go?’
All doubts are now solved.
I wanted to make more armaments than I could handle, but the ‘soldiers’ who would use the arms were ‘recruited’ in this way.
“Geumtaeyang, saintess. You decide what to do. If we stay like this, it will only be a matter of time before they find us on the other side.”
“… … there’s nothing we can do. I have no choice but to prepare for a head-on collision.”

Jack opened his mouth again, prompting Desiree to judge. At his words, Desiree began pulling arondite from her waist.
I raised my arm to block the two of them.
“Don’t make a fuss, just stay still. I’ll take care of it.”
Because I just had a good idea.
“… … What are you going to do?”
“Sun… … ?”
“Hey, hey! what are you going to do?”
“… … Is it an object? Going alone is not a good option. I recommend dealing with it together.”
He turned slightly to the party who were helping each other and twisted the corners of his mouth.
Among the monsters in front of me, there doesn’t seem to be a high-ranking species with an individual ego.
If it was an enemy who lost his will and just moved as commanded, the way to deal with it was simple.
You only need to subdue the commander.
There is no need to deal with that many enemies.
After all, the commander is a human.
His emotions are conveyed to me.
Excitement mixed with fear. It is as appetizing as beef dripping with blood.
“If you have to shoot one person like this, I’m the perfect person.”
This kind of combat, taking down a single human being, is my specialty.
I stepped forward toward the monster corps.
I didn’t think the corners of my mouth would come down.

The moment when Golden Sun and his party encountered a group of monsters in the free city of Khabarovsk.
The demon world was in a commotion.
To be precise, the center of ‘Acropolis’, where the Seven Deadly Sins gathered to discuss the future of the Pandemonium, was shaken.
‘bang!!!’ The sound of a strong strike on a stone armrest reverberates inside the conference hall, which looks like the inside of a temple.
It was the place of “jealousy”.
“Where is greed and what is it doing so late?! How long do you have to wait?!”
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Jealousy, which roared, struck the armrest again, and a part of it crumbled and tumbled to the ground with the sound of ‘Jajeok-!’
“Jealousy, not like you… … .”
“Isn’t that like me? Pride, do you think this makes sense now?”
“… … .”
Pride did not answer. Instead, I sat down in a chair and swallowed my silence.
“A mediocre man sat in the seat of greed. Yes, so far I can understand. As he said then, our place is a place where we prove everything with our skills. It’s not a matter of where you’re from. but!”
After a moment of fuss, he jumped up from his seat and glared at the lust sitting across from him.
“With only inferential information, we overturned the contents of the meeting that had already been scheduled, and suspended the entire army that had been prepared. Isn’t this really just language?!”
At his words, Gluttony and them either remained silent or nodded cautiously.
It was as Jealousy said.
It is said that he is one of only seven prophets in the entire demon realm. All the prophets were swayed by a word of greed that had barely been sitting down for a while.
The vote was rejected, and the debate was overturned.
All of this was caused by the tongue of greed transmitted through lust, which was not there.
“Answer me. lust.”
[Lust] leaned back in her seat and stared at him.
Because jealousy arose from the seat, the head of lust naturally rose. And then he said quietly.
“Jealousy, calm down. Even if they incite like this, they cannot turn the situation around as long as arrogance, including me, nods toward greed. don’t you know That what you are doing now is no different from the argument he had.”
At the words of lust, which answered leisurely, jealousy breathed heavily as if to let go of anger.
Seeing such jealousy, Lust laughed.
“I just don’t like the fact that you lost in an argument with greed that just wasn’t there. Aren’t there any complaints about the current situation?”
“… … If the military was sent to Earth, the whole situation was over in an instant. It is a weak world that can be occupied with just the vanguard.”
“And we must have had to deal with [Forgotten Divinity] and [Heaven] at the same time.”
“Ha-! If the war was made up of numbers, [Pandemonium] would perish right away. We have always fought a battle outnumbered, and we have always overcome those difficulties. We were able to win this time as well.”
“Even if that’s how you get a victory that only hurts, what’s left? The damage could be reduced if we invaded the heavens instead of the earth. There is no need to insist on it.”
Lust met the jealous eyes glaring at him without avoiding them. And the end came to an end as jealousy stepped out of the venue with wild steps.
Looking at the back of Jealousy coming out, Lust, who buried himself deeply in the chair, sighed inwardly.
‘avarice… … . No, Golden Sun. I did all I could All that remains is up to you.’
That’s how the 3rd meeting also ended in a war of nerves of jealousy and lust.
There is not much time left.

The academy’s swordsmanship club Murimmaeng.
The club building, where most of the students rested on the anniversary of the school’s opening, was quiet.
Thanks to the size of using a small ‘coffin’ as a whole, the seclusion doubled.
Kang Hyuk swung his sword in the building of the Moorim League.
As he raised his sword, Kanghyuk felt it himself.
That the sword is rough. It was a natural result because he whipped himself to erase the thoughts in his head.
‘If you want to take it, you take it yourself.’
These are the words of the golden sun who took Yeriel.
teeth clenched Thinking of the back of the golden sun who took her away, the blade of the sword swayed.
‘Seek!’ The wooden sword, which should have split the wind, swayed at its end and let out a harsh ‘Booung!’ sound.
Thinking it would be impossible to practice more than this, Kang Hyuk arranged the wooden sword.
Not yet. Now was not the time to recall that unpleasant memory.
“Are you done now?”
“… … why are you already here? Wasn’t there an hour left?”
Kang Hyuk sighed and came out and heard a familiar voice.
At the faster-than-expected voice, Kanghyuk was taken aback, then smiled and looked at the place.
“What, are you dissatisfied with me coming soon?”

My younger sister smiled and handed me a canned drink.
