Chapter 169 - Absolute Race and Angel’s Statue (1) (1/2)
The Evolution Society was thorough. They aimed precisely at the time when Sungwoo would be the weakest, and they never put in a small number of troops.
Moreover, they even mobilized a flying weapon of tremendous destructive power, called the Iron Mace of Lightning God, to stop Sungwoo from maneuvering in the air.
However, something that not only they but also Sungwoo didn’t expect at all happened consecutively. Sungwoo gained the power of Anubis and Kangsok appeared all of a sudden.
“They left behind a lot of treasure.”
Therefore, most of the weapons they prepared became the loot of the allied forces.

“Oh, we have obtained a flying weapon in addition to the Ballista we got last time. I think we can transport them by helicopter,” said Minhum after checking the items.
In shooting mode, it was about the size of an SUV, but it could be disassembled and folded into a smaller size. There were three iron maces, so they decided to dispatch one in the Suwon village.
“This is not the end of the story. There are all kinds of weapons on those trucks. It seems like they left an entire unit behind.”
Meanwhile, Sungwoo also gained a lot.

In addition to this, he also acquired two ‘Human Beast Ampoule (Werewolf)’. Since he still had one ampoule, he could use Anubis’ power three more times.
And he even got a new skeleton. It was a 4th stage Werebull with a unique build. Given that the monster pushed Sungwoo when he was in demigod mode with tremendous force, he would be a powerful addition to Sungwoo’s force in the future.
Sungwoo’s party took a helicopter and moved to Youngdungpo. Originally, they were going to stop by the Suwon village, but after hearing that the “Angel’s Stone Statue” had been excavated, they changed their destination.
Shortly after they arrived in Youngdungpo, Minhum brought news about the statue.
“The stone statue was found near Mt. Namsan, but since this is an installation object, I hear that it is possible to move it only one day after it was first discovered.”
“Then, how many hours are left?”
“We’ve got 17 hours left. Currently, we’re tightening security around it and preparing to move it. Sorry, but you have to wait a little longer.”
Thanks to this time gap, Sungwoo could take a break. Since he was very tired after being released from the demigod condition, he took a nap.

Shortly after Sungwoo woke up, Hanho brought news.
“They achieved level 8 on average, so they are now celebrating. Since we went there on a mission, we could not take part in their party…”
It was good news that the villagers were level 8 on average. The skills of production players were also improving significantly.
According to the news, the quality of items made by the blacksmiths and tanners has improved day by day, and the menus prepared by the cooks were diversifying. Jungho’s skill in establishing a safety zone also improved a lot.
“It looks like the village is functioning properly now.”
Like Hanho said, the functions like those of the villages in RPG games were being completed one by one. In other words, they were now in the process of securing a space where they could take a rest safely after the dangerous field.
“I also got a call from Kanghwa Island. It seems that the movement on the Chinese side is unusual again. The number of their appearances on the coast is increasing, and even within the Chinese 2-server community, lots of people are talking bullshit, arguing they have not yet finished conquering the Korean peninsula.”
On Kanghwa Island, a Chinese server player was held captive, so they could check their movement through the Chinese community.
“Really? It seems Taiwan is stabilizing to some extent. So, they began to entertain the idea of occupying the Korean peninsula.”
Although the Chinese players failed to occupy Kyodong Island and the Korean peninsula, they successfully took over Taiwan.
Even so, they could not even imagine going back to mainland China, so it was possible that they still regarded the Korean servers as a relatively easy target.
“Will they come back?”
