Human technology is surprisingly good.

No matter what situation came, humans were able to create the best tool for the situation, and cataclysm was no exception.
‘A gun is the most powerful weapon ever developed by humans.’
In the early days of Cataclysm, it is said that there was no manpower other than the awakened who could catch monsters.
The physical force of an ordinary gun could not pierce the monster’s skin.
cold weapon? It was meaningful only when an awakened person carried mana on a weapon, but it was meaningless for an ordinary person to carry it.
But humans have overcome this too.
Although the exact time was not known in the history that has already been lost, bullets for anti-monsters were invented.
It was a method of maximizing physical power using mana, and thanks to this, it was possible to inflict significant damage on all D-class monsters and some C-class monsters.

Now, with the development of technology, it is possible to produce bullets that can work even for A-rank monsters with appropriate materials and high-level awakening, but the cost-effectiveness is too low, so it is not commonly used.
It would be nice if it stopped right here, but humans dared to give birth to the seeds of discord.
If you can make bullets that can be eaten by monsters, can’t you make bullets that work for awakened people?
The bullet for the Awoken was made with such an outrageous idea.
It was different from the bullets for monsters made of simple physical force.
Since it was necessary to be able to penetrate the Awakeners’ mana and reach the skin, it was not possible to simply increase physical power.
The warhead needed to be wrapped in special magic to pierce the Awakener’s mana, and for that, it needed really good materials and the help of a High Awakener.
As a result, the cost-effectiveness was further reduced, but because it was a bullet that could harm the awakened people who could be called vested interests, numerous engineers were suppressed at the same time as the development.
Right now, even Sol and our city could face a summary punishment if they use the Awakener’s ammunition.
That’s probably why I didn’t think I’d have a bullet for the Awoken.
“Quaaagh!!!”
The man grabbed his missing right shoulder and cried out.
“Anyone who approaches any further will pierce the head with this bullet. If you want to die, you can move.”
As if a miracle had happened, everyone stiffened.
“Hey, go ahead and subdue it.”
While looking at the idiots, I grabbed the rope I had prepared in advance and started tying up the people who had fled.
“you…”
Leah looked at me warily.
Could it be that they are wary of me just because I have ammunition for awakeners?
‘What a strange person.’
“Are you wary of me?”
“It’s not…”
“Lea-san, you’re really amazing. Are you afraid of this?”
He said, tapping the pistol.
“So far, I felt that I couldn’t kill Leah, so I was able to get to know you? Because I feel that I can kill Leah, do you think we won’t be able to get along anymore?”
It is a truly selfish mind.

Not only me, but even idiots became close to Leah knowing that you could kill yourself at any time, and Leah is wary of me just because she is holding a weapon that can harm her. How selfish is it?
Still, he showed the appearance of being in trouble as to whether he could not fix it at all.
“sorry.”
Leah bowed her head at me.
Yes, this should be enough, since it’s just one small vigilance.
“But where did you get that?
“The Sword Master made it.”
Although it is a lie.
“Anyway, I think it’s coming to an end soon?”
After the ruler’s dwelling was destroyed, he could clearly see the Sword Demon and the ruler fighting.
It was very clear who won the ruler who had blood flowing all over his body and the sword horse who was intact without a single wound.
‘Looks like A-class awakeners are coming soon.’
They seem to be glancing at us, but perhaps they thought that the ruler’s side was more important, so not a single one approached us and joined the ruler.
‘Is something a little strange?’
It was hard to see because it was far away, but the emotion of fear was engraved on the faces of the awakened people who were heading towards the ruler.
I even saw quite a few people who already had scars on their bodies.
‘Is this Sua’s work?’
It seemed that he was trying to help the Revolutionary Corps for the first time.
Less than 30 minutes after arriving at the ruler’s residence, the revolution was almost over.
If all high-level Awakeners, including the ruler, are dealt with, there will be no force to stop the revolutionaries.
As I was leisurely watching the battle between the ruler and the Sword Demon, I heard numerous footsteps behind me.
‘what?’
When I looked back, what I saw was Six and the troops she led running towards this place with an urgent expression.
‘Why is he here?’
It wasn’t just Six. Ha-yeon, Yeon-ha, and all the other revolutionary groups were heading here.
“What is it? Why are you here? Aren’t you guys doing the operation?”
“Ha ha… ha… The current operation is not the problem.”
Six’s eyes were filled with fear.
“I don’t know what happened, but everyone in the place we went was all down.”
“what?”
“Me too. When we arrived, both the citizens and the ruler’s subordinates were all down.”
“I thought it would be good to gather together, so I ran to the center. Because the Sword Saint is here.”
It was clear that it was the work of the Heavenly Demon.
I didn’t think that anyone other than the Heavenly Demon could do something crazy that put everyone in the city to sleep.
‘But why is that? Wasn’t the Heavenly Demon supposed to stick with me anyway?’
Just as questions were growing, the ruler collapsed with a thud.
It was the moment when the nemesis of the Revolutionary Corps was defeated, but no one was able to rejoice with peace of mind.
As the awkward silence prevailed, applause began to be heard.
– clap clap clap
“It’s wonderful.”
It was a short sentence, only one sentence, but the tremendous momentum contained in it made my body stiffen.

No matter where it appeared or when it appeared, the Heavenly Demon was standing next to the Sword Demon.
“Shall we see if he can be my opponent?”
It seems that no matter how much he is a heavenly horse, he cannot even perform well. It was a performance that was enough to find the awkwardness in his voice even while his body was stiff from tension.
Even though they are not good at acting, they seem to be able to do sparring properly, and the sword dance and the heavenly horse continue.
It would have been possible to fight while moving so fast that we didn’t even notice, but if you saw them moving slowly, they probably wanted to show us the battle.
‘But it’s f*cking cool.’
Is it because both of them are masters at an unimaginably high level? The process of sparring seemed like a dance.
The two dances, which lasted for about 5 minutes, ended with the Sword Demon bouncing towards us.
“Isn’t there someone to jump on next?”
Sword Demon has lost, but who will come out?
– It seems that the author is a type of Awakener whose ability increases according to the ability of the opponent. I think the person with the most skills should step in.
The Sword Demon stared at me.
‘Fuck, it was a build-up for this.’
Sword Demon’s way of speaking was just as awkward as Heaven’s Demon, but perhaps because he was busy, no one looked at me suspiciously.
Only Ha-yeon and her younger sister looked at me with worried eyes, but they did not stop me because they reassured me that no matter who I fight, I will never die.
‘Yes, I have to fight for this contest to end.’
Because the Heavenly Demon planted the Sword Demon in the Revolutionary Corps to fight me now, and went to the ruler’s side.
If I ran away from here, I might suddenly become angry and destroy Mir.
“Are you the child who came out to deal with me?”
There was a strong energy in the Heavenly Demon’s voice.
Perhaps not only me, but also the far-away revolutionaries can hear it.
‘Anyway, she’s so pretty.’
It was different from the last time when I wrapped my whole body tightly.
She was wearing a black dress she didn’t know where she got it from, but her black hair and red eyes added to create a tremendous atmosphere.
“If you want to meet me, just come and visit me. You’re having a hard time too.”
“It was a long time since we met, and I wanted to see how much Ahae had grown. And I also wanted to plunge Ahae into despair in front of many people watching.”
That bastard’s despair, despair, there’s no way he’ll despair when his opponent is the Heavenly Demon.
How long has it been since you’ve already resigned yourself to the fact that the Heavenly Demon can’t be defeated?
“My name is Suhyun Lee? I’m an adult now, so can you stop calling me ‘Ahae’?”
“To me, child is nothing but child, no matter how much you grow.”
“Are you my parents…”
The Heavenly Demon answered my question with a smile.
“Then attack slowly, taking too long will raise suspicion.”
The body of the Heavenly Demon was quickly fired at me.
