signal
The appearance of monsters is random.
Portals open anytime and anywhere in the world, regardless of time and place, and there may be one monster or thousands of monsters appearing in it.
However, that didn’t mean it was completely random.
The time, place, and number were unpredictable, but there was a certain degree of unity in the types of monsters.
Giants often appear in Russia, large monsters frequently attack in Japan, and small monsters appear in the United States.
In the case of Europe, it was the undead.
So, Europe suffered more damage than other countries.
Unlike monsters that can be countered to some extent with modern weapons, it was difficult for the undead to strike properly unless they had superpowers.
Thanks to Isaac the Ark Knight, he somehow manages to keep the balance, but he was one and Europe was too big.
A situation so precarious that even a single trivial opportunity could cause it to collapse.
A large bomb fell on such Europe.
– This is the current situation in Europe.
The map of Europe that appeared on the monitor was all red.
-France, England, Greece, Denmark, Italy, Hungary, Poland… … . there’s no good place How is your situation?
-not good. you are?
– I don’t mind asking.
Yooseong let out a long sigh.
I knew it was an unusual situation, but I didn’t know it would be like this.
The undead currently appearing all over Europe were overwhelming the undead that had appeared in every imaginable way.
The number of undead that appeared increased hundreds of times, and Death Knights and Liches, which were very rarely found, appeared in places where the undead were gathered.
‘This is pouring water into a completely bottomless pot.’
Yoosung’s voice was covered in thick fatigue.
Even with the stamina stat approaching 1,000 and the option to increase the stamina recovery speed of the nano machines, the accumulated fatigue could not be covered.
If you defeat 100, 1,000 will come, if you defeat 1,000, 10,000, if you defeat 10,000, 100,000 will come.
In the early days, I could fight lightly as if I was out for a walk, but now I had to do my best every moment.
Fierce battles that make users feel fatigued.
Ordinary people have already reached their limit, and contractors are coming and going.
– These days, people even say what it would be like to use nuclear weapons.
– Holy crap. Couldn’t you have just been watching that?”
– Of course it dried up.
If the number of undead was fixed, he could have considered using nuclear weapons, but they were pouring infinitely through a portal from an unknown place.
In other words, it meant that annihilating them using nuclear weapons would only be a temporary measure.
‘Something has to be found. It’s not about defeating the undead in front of you, but a more fundamental solution… … .”
belt ring.
– Come into the community.
It was an unexpected message, but instead of asking why, Yooseong calmly took out the goggles from the subspace.
It was because I heard that the kind of information that should not be known in reality is shared using Goggle’s community function if possible.
The messenger I’m using now is an app that Sophia has created specifically for users, but there’s always an “if” so it wasn’t a bad thing to be careful.
[Welcome to the community by Room Corner Hanryang!]
-Balanced: I’m at my limit now.
-Blue Blood: You mean to abandon Europe?
-Balanced Joa: You mean to protect your hometown. Do you know how many giants have grown while I’m here?
-Blue Blood: Russia is big. Even if the giants increase, the damage won’t be much. Don’t you think it’s more efficient to stay here?
-Balanced: What? do you say that now?
-Super Ant: Well, I hate to say this, but I agree with Isaac. Russia still has room, but Europe doesn’t. hold on a little longer
-Weapon Master: Oh, isn’t that a bit off? It’s nothing else, it’s something to stop them from going to defend their country… … . Why not ask Carlos or Nirvana for help?
-Super Ant: How do you ask for help from those who are hiding?
The community was a mess with the users who came in first.
Opinions were divided into two main parts.
One was the opinion that Europe should be defended no matter what, and the other was the opinion that we should return soon.
It was ambiguous to raise either hand.
If they followed the former, they couldn’t handle the infinitely pouring undead, and if they followed the latter, they couldn’t handle the human and economic damage that would occur as Europe collapsed.
The fight, which seemed to continue endlessly, came to an end with the appearance of Kasim.
– Archmage: I found a way.
It was a short message of only 6 characters with no subject or object, but users connected to the community realized the meaning contained in it.
-Weapon Master: Really? You said yesterday that there is no other way than to hold on, right?
In front of the infinitely pouring undead, even Bruce and Kassim, the three strongest, raised the white flag.
No matter how much Bruce won and slashed the undead with his sword, the speed of increase was faster than the speed of decrease, and after Kasim destroyed a few portals, dozens of new portals were created all over Europe.
It was natural to be surprised to hear that a person who had said from the beginning of the situation that he had no choice but to hold out until the undead stopped appearing suddenly found a way.
– Archmage: I changed my point of view. Until now, I only thought about how to block the undead, but suddenly I wondered why so many undead appeared.
The monsters that have appeared so far haven’t come specifically to Earth. While wandering in the vast sea of dimensional rifts, the only place I came across was Earth. But the undead appearing now are different. It’s obviously aiming for Earth.
How is this possible? The answer is simple. Something is signaling that Earth is here. It’s like a lighthouse shining in the dark sea where you can’t see an inch ahead.
It was an inquiry message, but the point was simple.
That there is something somewhere on Earth that sends a signal to the undead.
-Blue Blood: Then, if you destroy the thing that sends the signal… … .
– Grand Mage: Of course, the landing of the undead will also stop.
-Blue Blood: Where are you?
– Archmage: There are three suspicious places. The first is the British Isle of Man, the second is a mountain range in northern Denmark, and the last is the border area between France and the Netherlands.
-Blue Blood: Are you sending signals from one of the three places, or are you sending signals from all three places?
– Archmage: I’m sorry, but I don’t know that far. I just sensed a place where a strong signal was flowing, but I couldn’t tell which one was the real signal. Maybe all three, maybe one of the three, maybe none of the three.
It was an irresponsible remark, but it was not a situation to argue about such a thing.
Even if the chance was only 1%, it was much better than fighting endless wars of attrition.
-Blue Blood: Then it’s decided. Gather right now and attack in order… … .
-Limited in the corner of the room: Wait. I think it would be better to decide a little more carefully.
-Blue Blood: Careful? Are there any other options besides attacking here? What nonsense are you talking about!
Yoosung’s eyes twisted.
I felt it from the first meeting, but I didn’t think I could ever get close to Isaac.
-Room limit: Of course you have to attack. I mean the order of attack. As long as it’s something like an item that sends the signal, it doesn’t matter which order you raid in. But what if the one sending the signal is some sort of sapient high-ranking undead?
-Blue Blood: Are you afraid of the undead?
-Limited room: It doesn’t mean that way. It was said earlier that Kasim detected the signal and identified the location, but there is a possibility that things in those three places are also detecting each other’s signals. If they’re sapient, they’ll cut off the signal and disappear as soon as they notice that somewhere is being attacked.
-Blue Blood: … … .
Instead of Isaac, who was speechless, Bruce received the meteor.
-Musin: Then I’ll have to hit all three at the same time.
-Room limit: That’s right.
-Musin: Eight users. Excluding Sophia, she’s not a combat member, so we can split them into two, two, three people.
-Balanced Joa: It doesn’t matter how you divide it, but I’d like to put Isaac and I on a different team.
-Super Ant: You know my skills, right? Pay attention.
After a long discussion, the party was decided.
Isaac and Ryuhei on the Isle of Man in England.
Northern Denmark is Bruce and Kang Chang-seok.
Lastly, in the border area, Kasim, Olga, and Yuseong.
It was a perfect lineup with no room for backlash in terms of power and human relations.
-Blue Blood: Keep in mind everyone. Failure… … .
Yoosung left the community without seeing Isaac’s message.
Anyway, you can set the schedule through messenger.
Even though it was a message, I didn’t want to hear what Isaac had to say anymore.
“He’s a guy I really don’t like.”
Yoosung clicked his tongue briefly and thought with his hand on his chin.
Cassim and Olga.
In the case of Cassim, I had seen her in Dragonia, and since Olga had the same triplet as Isaac, there would be no doubt about her skills.
“The problem is me.”
If it’s an elite monster, it doesn’t matter if they flock in droves, but if a guy like the Lucifer I encountered at Salvation Church appears, there’s no way I can defeat them.
The reason he was able to do well in the fight at that time was because Lucifer was excited and careless.
If he had only fired his breath in the air without coming down to the ground, he would have been reduced to ashes without being able to resist properly.
‘Always assume the worst. What should I do if a Lucifer-class enemy appears, no, if an opponent stronger than that appears?’
Running away with a quest was only possible if there was a gap.
Lizardmen could lightly shun them with meteor beams and even afford to choose the most suitable quest for the situation, but if the opponent was Lucifer-class, there was a high probability of losing their lives before even taking out the goggles, let alone wearing them.
‘I need a strong force. That’s enough to give a blow to a Lucifer-class being.’
There is not enough time to do the quest.
You must find the answer within what you have now.
“… … for a moment.”
In an instant, an idea passed through Yoosung’s mind.
It was such a terrible and frightening idea, but it was an idea that could produce such powerful destructive power.
Yoosung opened the messenger app and sent a message to Sophia.
-… … Do you know that it is night in Korea right now? Is it urgent enough to wake you up?
-yes.
Yooseong, who sent an immediate answer, then started typing a long message.
That night, Yuseong was able to obtain the power to destroy the world.
