The destructive power behind Kim Tae Hoon’s fist was incredible
The wall crumbled like a cookie Hududu, the debris from the wall fell like flakes
'Ah!'
However, his poas no surprise to Kim Tae Hoon Cradled inside the broken as a translucent plastic bag
Tuktuk!
Retrieving the bag fro Hoon
After gingerly accepting the parcel, Chang Sung Hoon immediately worked to open it
Once the plastic wrappings were removed, a luxurious blue silk was revealed
'Definitely not normal silk'
The silk itself was very high end The texture was the sa Hoon touched it, he knew that it was of a different quality than the other relics
However, the silk itself was nothing co
”······words can’t even describe this”
There was a book within the silk
An old book, to the public eye, it was nothing but an old book
'How is this here?'
The ink inscription on the cover was enough to s Hoon’s mind in blackness
大東輿地圖, Daedongyeojido, The Great Map of the East Land
[TN: So this line was originally just the Chinese characters (Hanja) When translated, it is “The Great map of the East Land” Here’s the link: enwikipediaorg/wiki/Daedongyeojido5D
”······It’s The Great Map of the East Land”
The Great Map of the East Land
What’s there more to say?
Ki-ho, also known as Gosanja This nuenerations had come to praise
”It’s different froyeojido that I know”
”This is a different edition To be precise, Daedongyeojido was first printed on wood blocks What ether to form the whole map Plus, this····· This is probably an unpublished version”
Chang Sung Hoon was tre
He was tre at the fact that there was an unknown version of Daedongyeojido floating about in the world
”I had heard ruht they were fake······”
To be honest, the first tiroundless There wereabout, and on top of that, there were ruyeojido propagating as well If they were real, then surely so shots would have made their move
But the rumor was true
On top of that, Baek Sung Taek was the owner
'That’s why he hid this in the wall If it’s this, then it’s definitely better to leave it in a wall No need to trust a safe’s efficacy when it comes to thieves'
With Daedongyeojido in his hand, Chang Sung Hoon asked another question
”How did you know that this was in the wall?”
Although with Black Snake’s Evil Eyes Kirant his
In other words, he did not have the power to see inside the wall
But despite that, Kily punched towards the wall
”The texture on that portion of the as different”
”The texture was different? You were able to see that with your eyes?”
Instead of replying, Ki Hoon looked at the Daedongyeojido that was in Chang Sung Hoon’s hands
[The Great Map of the East Land]
– Relic Grade : Grade 4
– Relic Rarity : Special
– Relic Description : The locations of monsters are displayed on the map
[TN: Re about a ]
Chang Sung Hoon whipped out his phone to confirm the map’s ability
Confirh the book idened eyes
Chwareuk, chwareuk!
The rustling of pages accoes in the book
At the saments in his head
It was one of the talents that Chang Sung Hoon was blessed with
If he couldn’t e, he couldn’t create counterfeits By co to memory all of the details and nuances of a piece, he could create an identical counterfeit
It wasn’t very difficult for Chang Sung Hoon to rate the map into his mind
Chwareuk!
As soon as Chang Sung Hoon scanned the last page, the ie was completed in his mind
”This map is kind of like a maphack”
As expected of Chang Sung Hoon, he was able to grasp the functions of the map very quickly
”Map hack?”
Kia terms
Chang Sung Hoon began to explain the terer to scan through the Daedongyeojido again
He stopped flipping through the pages once he got to a specific spot, after which he showed the page to Kim Tae Hoon
On that raphical depiction that was packed with red and orange lights
”This area is what has become Bucheon today”
”These light······”
”It’s displaying the monsters’ locations”
”Details”
”It shows the locations of any monsters to the owner It’s like a radar Not only does it show the serblip is a big monster”
Hearing his explanation, there was one question that came to Kim Tae Hoon’s mind
”Of the est?”
”Both Mt Halla and Mt Baekdu on Jeju Island had indigo lights”
Indigo
In other words, on were on both ends of the Korean Peninsula
There was nothing positive about it
The world had changed in a ht
But now, it was a definite concern
There was one orange light and one red lighton the map
It rated from place to place
”Take only what’s important”
”Yes sir”

The cleaners assigned to clean up the trail of bodies in Kioblins
These wereHyun Wook and the Mek Clan soldiers were familiar with
”Everyone on the truck!”
The brown goblins eak on their own A norh to deal with one
Ggieeeh!
The only probleoblins oblin
Moreover, the hobgoblin’s unique oblins numb to pain and fear
A ination
Thatthe wave of more than a hundred creatures, the soldiers were at a loss and were unsure of what to do
”Awoooo!”
Bang Hyun Wook activated the Howling ability he had learned after eating a Black Wolf’s iven him
While using the Howling ability, he ran towards the brown goblins
He needed to buy some time, but at the same time, it was an expression of confidence
”Kill them all!”
While shouting, Bang Hyun Wook’s Energy began to move
The Energy reinforced his body and er
Bang Hyun Wook was the strongest Awakened with the highest Strength and Stamina stat in the Mek Clan, aside from Kim Tae Hoon
His body rapped in a Black Orc Leather armor
Although it wasn’t of Black Snake leather, the Black Orc’s leather’s strength wasn’t sioblin’s teeth or claws could leave marks on
Thanks to that, Bang Hyun Wook could throw himself into the battlefield without hesitation– it was like free batting
All he had to do was hit the ball that was on the stand, free batting
The only difference was that a goblin’s head was sitting on a goblin’s shoulders instead of a ball on batting stand
Bbak!
Like that, Bang Hyun Wook went crazy
Meanwhile, Mek Clan soldiers who had boarded a truck began to shoot at the brown goblins
Tutu!
Their gunfire was now te any bullets; their triggers were disciplined better, not pointing their guns at any friendlies
None of theoblins
Ggieeh!
The goblins at the forefront quickly began to fall
Nonetheless, the group of brown goblins began to narrow the distance between them and the truck
There was no pause In fact, they seeain speed as they stepped over their dead comrades
Ggieeeh!
It was the same with the wrath in their eyes Their dead kin only served to fuel their anger
However, their increased aggression did not do anything to turn the tides An arroithout fletchling suddenly appeared out of nowhere
Swik!
The arrow’s ile and swift knife
The arrowtheether
Cheulpuduk!
The rushi+ng goblins began to collapse like puppets with broken strings, with each fallen goblin contributing to a wall of flesh
Ggieg!
The goblins that hadn’t collapsed tripped on the corpses that lined the floor
It was pandemonium
Witnessing such a crazy scene, the soldiers simply stared with their mouths shut
Despite that, they did not frown or grimace
”Oowaaaah!”
There was no doubt as to as behind this ridiculous scene
”It’s master! Master’s come!”
The hero that had made his appearance was a savior who had arrived when they needed him most
The real messiah
There were none ere not grateful for the appearance of a savior
”Master has arrived!”
”Kill them all!”
The soldiers’ eyes burnt with fervor
The soldiers’so far as to affect the cooblin
Ggireureu ggireureu!
The oblinit to tremble
That was the last thing it did
The tre monster fell onto the floor, its throat sliced off
A sith a sharpened blade had slit the hobgoblin’s throat
At the saoblins’ fear and pain washed over them all at once
Ggieh!
Ggii, Giii!
The brown goblins that had beco in all directions
Bang Hyun Wook looked at the fleeing goblins in silence
Bang Hyun Wook watched Kis up, approach him

Chang Sung Hoon gently wrapped Chusa Kiyeojido in silk
To be honest, there was no need
As soon as these objects becae There was no need to worry about it wearing out
But still, Chang Sung Hoon didn’t dare take any risks
‘This treasure is too precious'
For someone who truly appreciated works of art, especially a national heritage like this, Chang Sung Hoon treated it with absolute care, especially since its function was priceless as well
Chang Sung Hoon prepared a bag to store this precious treasure
The bag also contained other valuables that Chang Sung Hoon was carrying around
For example
”Oh?”
A crystal cup studded with jewels that produced a red liquid
I changed blue froon, the monster at Mt Paektu and the o, not blue As denoted by ROY G BIV, indigo would be the second highest tier of monsters
Chapter 42 – United (2)

All creatures strive to survive
And so as all creatures strive towards survival, an ecosystem is born
Monsters
These ins had developed their own ecosystem
While the apex predators openly and actively sought other creatures to prey on, the smaller and weaker e around the debris looking for dead bodies or the remains of another predator’s meal
In that location, a large rock had fallen
Black Snake
A terrifying and tre serpent that had taken Bucheon City as its own territory had died
It was the death of a hegemon
To conceal such an event was an impossibility
News of the death of the king had spread far and wide, and with that was came the backlash
This was especially true for the most ambitious of monsters
Rather than staying content with beco the leader of a mere herd of monsters, those that wanted to take over the Black Snake’s foran to make their move
As the one who had traemon, it was Kim Tae Hoon’s role to take the spoils
Kwajik!
His blackened right ar as a head taller and whose body boasted a larger build than his
Frag’s skull and chunks of its brain splattered onto the floor as twelve other Monkey Dogs finally caught up to the sight of their chief’s body falling onto the floor
Puk!
Like a snake, Ki his fist towards their heads
It was as though the world was frozen and Ki
It wasn’t simply because Kim Tae Hoon’s speed was fast
It was accuracy
Kim Tae Hoon’s fist appeared out of nowhere like the wind, ai’s red eyes located behind its jutting snout
It was superhuman
No other words could describe the unsurpassed accuracy and speed that Ki more than an instant
'It’s not enough'
Kim Tae Hoon had swiftly adapted to the ability he had obtained from the Black Snake, and had made it his own
That was the reason That was the reason why he was able to throw himself towards the monsters that were attracted to the scent of the ware in a melee
”I have nothing to say”
”Just who is the monster······”
The survivors that had deemed Kim Tae Hoon as savior couldn’t help but admire him more and more
Because they were unceasingly dis ht of dead bodies left the
Although all of this had been wrought by Kim Tae Hoon’s hands, he was not satisfied hat had happened
'Two of them'
He couldn’t be satisfied
'There are two on on the Korean Peninsula'
He could feel the wretchedness of the world with his own body It would be impossible not to kno fucked up the world was at this point
But now that the feeling was stronger than before, it had a greater effect on his mindset
Although he had thought that there would be on, he had found out that there were in fact two of the on Mt Paektu and another on Mt Halla
The atekeepers at both ends of the Korean Peninsula
Considering how large the Earth was, the Korean Peninsula itself was tiny
If there were three on the Korean Peninsula, then howmonsters would there be in the rest of the world?
That wasn’t all
'Although with good fortune I ed to defeat the Black Snake, there are still dozens of the area'
Just as Chang Sung Hoon had explained, Daedongyeojido was like a radar
Powerful on were shown even if they were far away, but not the weaker monsters unless the distance was not too far
Despite that, Daedongyeojido revealed the existence of nine creatures under the on’s tier were denoted as blue dots
Furtherhts that they couldn’t immediately count how many there were
'Yi Jin Sung, that punk wasn’t lying'
The land that Bucheon sat atop was the only area situated between green and blue lights
'Bucheon is lucky'
It had survived only because it edged between greater powers
'Definitely dodged a bullet'
Of course, despite that, it wasn’t actually good news
A sht benefit a few times, but eventually, they’ll be destroyed
The truth came from history
In fact, the large population of hu the various new ecosystems that had arisen Because there were so many humans, monsters could easily capture and eat them
But hus like fish did
Although humans were populous now, their numbers would inevitably sharply fall as monsters consumed more and more of them
Sincehu out an area with a high hu so like a monster’s promised land
There was only one solution
'We have to take the initiative before they attack us'
Kill or be killed
Before the e of y whilst pro the survivors’ abilities and zeal
At best, they could kill the orange and red eyed h to satisfy Kim Tae Hoon
He was starting to feel impatient
'We can’t continue just like this At best, with our current strength······ on’t really be able to do anything'
However, a pro Hoon swiftly did aith Kim Tae Hoon’s impatience
”Boss, the goblet has filled up”
