'I can use it for less than 5 minutes with Mana of C rank, and it is a disadvantage.'

Horse Figure Type Earthenware.

The power of a relic that became a horse warrior who did not stop from the moment of injecting Mana was overwhelming and beyond impressive.

'But the combat power...'

The mobility that the horse showed was impressive. Its speed was worthy of a top sports car, and it showed moves that the sports car could not show. The clay warrior's combat power was overwhelming, and its sword skill was accurate and ruthless so that its young appearance was unashamed; and as it chased the enemy, he aimed for the perfect gaps between them.

Finally, the sharpness and power of the sword were not equal to the Sword of the Imperator on his back, but it was excellent enough to be compared to it.

'I cannot guarantee my life against it in a mere close battle.'

All of these comprehensive elements were so terrifying that his spine went cold, just imagining facing the Horse Figure Type Earthenware. So he was satisfied.

'I got the best partner.'

The combat power of the Horse Figure Type Earthenware itself was enormous, but the harmony with him was more satisfactory than that.

The Horse Figure Type Earthenware was a partner who could earn attention and time against a green-grade monster. While the Horse Figure Type Earthenware bought time, his options in the air with his Telekinesis were infinite. There would be no more perfect combination.

'There is no reason to hesitate to fight against the green-grade monster anymore.'

- Boss! Run away with...

- Taang!

- That's a load of bullshit.

He heard a small disturbance. He pulled his eyes off the back of his right hand. He had seen enough of the power of the Horse Figure Type Earthenware. So now, it was time to perform his original duties here. He began to fall toward the ground.

13.

A man came into a coffee shop, its glass wall shattered and doors non-existent. It was Kim Tae-hoon, who put a Sword on his back instead of a bag.

The first thing he saw in the coffee shop was a shelf next to the counter. Originally full of cakes, there were only fragments of broken glass and blood dripping from someone cutting into it. On the bottom of the counter was a trace of someone picking up a trampled Tiramisu cake and eating it.

The gruesome traces were everywhere. The wooden chairs and desks were not visible, the counters were already shattered, and the expensive espresso machines were also ripped off in this mess.

Only the coffee beans that filled the shelves here and there were fine. It was because coffee did not fulfill their hunger, and they could not eat them easily. No one wanted to be a coffee thief.

It was a good thing for Kim Tae-hoon. He picked one bag of Colombian coffee out of the various kinds of beans on the shelf. Then he put bottled water into the stainless-steel kettle in the drawer. For fire, he used solid fuel. After opening the solid fuel he had brought, he spat a flame toward the fuel.

Ptui! As soon as the burning saliva reached it, solid fuel began to burn. He put the kettle on the tripod of solid fuel.

The next task was to crush the beans. After peeling off the sealed wrapping paper, he smelled the fragrance of the beans, and he immediately took them out. Then he began to break the beans with his black-dyed right hand. The hard beans became powder in his grasp.

A few minutes later, when he the hot water was prepped under the dipper, the coffee fragrance began to circulate in the coffee shop for the first time in about three months. His thinking began as soon as he took a sip of coffee.

The starting point of his thinking was his conversation with Yang, the head of the plunderers. Yang confessed everything: how bad he had been, how he deserved to die, and who was behind him…

'The man was in his mid-thirties. His hair was sporty. His voice was husky with a square face. A big dot was under his left eye.'

The information obtained from Yang gave Kim confidence in some hypotheses in his mind.

'The woodblock-printed edition of Daedongyeojido, which was currently kept in the National Museum of Korea, is in the hands of the Six Snakes.'

The woodblock-printed edition of Daedongyeojido was a more valuable relic than any other one at this point. There were many editions of Daedongyeojido in Seoul. In the National Museum of Korea was the woodblock-printed edition.

There was no reason why the Capital Defense Command did not have had it. However, Kim thought that the Capital Defense Command did not currently possess it.

The first reason was that soldiers belonging to the Capital Defense Command had died in battle with the green-grade monster, the Bell-tailed Rat, in Gwangmyeong City, and the second reason was that Lieutenant Colonel Yoo did not dispatch his troops directly to Incheon City. This would not have happened if they had the Daedongyeojido with them.

'The Six Snakes took the Daedongyeojido away.' And now it was owned by them. 'If it had not been for that, they could not have been able to work outside like this.' The movement of the Six Snakes was evidence.

'Their purpose is to take relics.'

The purpose of the Six Snakes was to take away the relics of the Capital Defense Command. Unlike in the past, the Capital Defense Command, which has lost Daedongyeojido, was now unable to engage in full-scale external activities. But that did not mean that they could not do outside activities at all. In the end, a small number of elites should be able to perform external activities. In order to increase the success rate of the mission, high-grade relics were inevitably paid out.

But what if the missions failed?

What if the team died on a mission?

Of course, the relics given out will be ones without owners.

'The Six Snakes turns them into stolen goods, and then they take them away.' That was, they stole the relics.

'As long as Oh se-bum is around, they won't have to worry about the stolen goods.'

Above all, the Six Snakes currently had Daedongyeojido, and the strongest Awakener of the Capital Defense Command, the road maker Oh Se-bum. They could identify the monsters' whereabouts, and they had the strongest card that the Capital Defense Command could use, so the risk they took was not great.

However, at this moment, they had a very serious risk: Kim Tae-hoon. And the Six Snakes were now aware of the risk.

'The day the Six Snakes contacted Yang was after I stunned Oh Se-bum.'

The reason why they approached Yang and informed him about how to operate a tank was to prevent Kim Tae-hoon from entering Incheon City and grasping their plans. When the plunderers put the tanks in front to kill all the survivors and get the Cross of a Saint, if they left Incheon City, there would not be left anything in Incheon City.

And the tricks against him were still in progress. 'They have already revealed their teeth against me, I see.'

They failed to destroy the evidence by mobilizing the plunderers, so they would try another if he left it as it was. Of course, he did not intend to allow the attempt itself.

'I will make Incheon my land so that they cannot perform any tricks.'

The Mac Guild's landing in Incheon had begun.

14.

For Paek Jung-joon, the days of hardship that had begun after the appearance of monsters were different from the days of suffering experienced by others. His Cross protected him from the monsters. But it was not just an unconditional blessing. His Cross had brought him to the test. Humans who had no generousness and mercy to give to him, not monsters, rushed to take away his Cross and bite him.

To prevent them, Father Paik Jung-joon and his survivors, who made him the leader, had to point guns at the plunderers and pull the triggers. So, Father Paik prayed to God every day with the Cross: please do not let people come here where your favor is reached, don't send anyone, please do not come with a pack of guns.

Now, hundreds of people were gathering, dressed in armor made of the leather of unidentified monsters. With guns and swords, they headed toward the Ganseok Ogeori, the sanctuary of the priest and the survivors.

'Ah.'

Pit-a-pat!

The heart of Paik, who looked at the crowd, was pounding. But it was not from fear.

'It is God's favor.'

On the contrary, the heart of Father Paik was throbbing at this moment with a feeling that something unknown was rising. His heart rate was faster as the armed crowd approached him, standing on the overpass. Of course, it was not Paek who they were looking for. The man beside him, Kim Tae-hoon, who was wearing a Sword on his back, was the reason why they came here. They stopped in front of the overpass.

The woman at the forefront of the crowd saluted over the overpass. ”Reporting! 134 hunters from the Mac Guild, 466 soldiers, and a hundred others have arrived safely.”

Kim did not salute or did not talk flowery words at the report of Kim Soo-ji. He looked down.

”The thing to do now is to dry the seeds of the monsters here.”

As soon as Baek heard his words, he was convinced that God had not abandoned humanity.

”Use any means and methods to remove the monsters.

”We will carry out the Incheon Landing Operation.”
