Chapter 64 (2/2)
Normally, a Monster field referred to areas that fell under the influences of a Dead Fissure A Dead Fissure referred to a Fissure that was ‘dead’,it did not expand any further but still continue to produce Monsters from within
However, at 2 o’clock in the afternoon…
A Dead Fissure ‘suddenly generated’ on the boundaries between the Monster field of Gangwon Province and the adjoining North Gyeongsang Province (TL: ”경상북도”)
And the result was… the earth’s crust isted apart by the distortion caused by the Dead Fissure’s appearance, and a portion of the North Gyeongsang Province had becoorized Monster field
As this was quite possibly the worst catastrophe to befall this country ever since its inception, the governency
[Currently, the areas where Monsters of the Dead Fissure is rahwa, Youngju, and Yehchun; in other words, one third of the North Gyeongsang’s total surface area All citizens of the North Gyeongsang are advised to evacuate to the South…]
Unfortunately, even though all the Knights residing in the neighbouring Gangwon Province sprang to action almost immediately, the casualties nuht to be truly astronomical
And what made the matters even worse was that the scale of the destruction was still increasing even now
”Uhm, Director-nim…”
That hy a cold tempest wind that contradicted the hot Su within the halls of the Special Investigation Division, the folks entrusted with preventing such disasters fro in the first place
”What?”
”That is… Mister President has summoned you to the Blue House…”
Yu Baek-Song sighed out grandly after hearing her subordinate She was busy alternating her attention between the various reports co in from the affected areas and the live news broadcast on the television
”Fuu…”
On top of the desk belonging to Yu Baek-Song, as busyher tele notebook It was the only method of communication with the Mercenary Lycan But there hadn’t been a single reply fro on this mysterious notebook for quite a while now
”H out even in the President’s office Then, I’ll be on my way”
Yu Baek-Song deliberately tried to speak in a relaxed manner, but it was incredibly difficult for Soo-ins to hide their true eer ears atop her head that usually stood up straight, were drooping do, de how upset she really was
”Make sure to take care of things during my absence”
The subordinates present all looked on at the sight of Yu Baek-Song’s petite figure trudging towards her execution ground with pitying eyes
And precisely one hour 30 minutes later, she returned evenNot only her ears, even her tail had lost all energy
Still, she declared out in a deliberately energetic expression
”Call for a press conference We’re y to Lycan”
And an unrest quickly developed within the office
The ‘evidence’ given out by the Lycan while clai already, did indeed sound like a proper lead to follow They even had found a Su Stone by accident, after all
But the issue with the Lycan was just how trustworthy he could possibly be With only a piece of Mercenary application paper dating back froo, and every other scrap of infor the decline of the Mercenary profession, there was just not enough info to determine whether his achievements and abilities were real or not
”But, there will be a lot of problems…”
”The President gave his go-ahead already I’hts groups, but by applying the laws regulating Mercenaries, there should be no proble And also… since we know that this isn’t a natural phenorab hold onto any strae can find”
Yu Baek-Song’s decision was unchangeable
Property of Fantasy-Bookslive
outside of it, it is stolen
Since it was io, to apologise just because of some external pressure, it could only mean that even herself had made up her mind well beforehand
And such a detered easily, so her subordinates didn’t speak any further and simply did as they were told
At the sa had made up her mind
Kim Sae-Jin was lost
The sudden twisting of the land caused the previously-nice-to-walk trails to become a difficult ed into a steep cliff…
And to compound his misery, he had to assu until now, all thanks to encountering three upper Mid Tier Monsters It see Monsters by their Tiers
‘…Io crazy here’
That was not the end, though On top of all this misfortune, unexpected leeches had appeared
”Right now, the Raven Knights Orders has been deployed near here”
The leeches were the group of survivors busy following behind him like a row of baby ducks
About an hour ago After defeating a upper Mid Tier Monster called ‘Bladed Ghost’ with soroup of three survivors had approached him before he knew it and stared at him with doe-like eyes, full of hope
They probably wanted to rely on the ‘beautiful’ fame of the Demon, no, the Hero Orc that everyone had heard of
‘Should I have left them then?’
Back then, he thought theybefore following him so he let them be, but now…
”Whew-oo What a relief…”
”It’s all thanks to that Orc, isn’t it”
”Indeed But compared to what I’ve seen on TV, his beard and his hair has becoer now It’s all shi+ny and stuff It’s really aweso”
And as he walked ard after thinking there ht be an exit there, he continued to ‘pick up’ , three had ballooned to 13
9 of thehts
He entertained the idea of leaving it all to the Knights but from what he could overhear, they were at most low Mid Tiers They wouldn’t be much of a help in this place where only the Monsters classified Mid to upper Mid Tier continued to pop out
”Hht to take a photo of his back? He’s pretty sexy for a Monster, you know”
”…Huh What the heck are you even saying right nohen our lives are still hanging in the balance? Please don’t do anything that itate the Orc”
While hearing that conversation, Sae-Jin sighed out inwardly
It was then, suddenly his intuition rang the alarm bell
Fortunately, there was only one
”So!! Get your weapons ready!!”
A Knight who also sensed the movement shouted out loudly
SFX for sound of light footsteps
Following the sounds of light footsteps…
”…Oh!!”
…A lone feht revealed herself from behind the thicket It was Kim Yu-Rin
And when Kietation and Monster blood, his heart nearly jumped out of his mouth
