I Picked a Mobile From Another World - Chapter 229
Episode 229 [ Advance (4) ]
An old stone wall full of dust.
Bronze sculptures and tombs covered in rust and dust. Steel pieces placed on the foundation.
Hidden beneath the ruins in the center of the Daxing’anling Mountains were an incomprehensibly large underground plaza and tomb.
It was an underground tomb that looked larger and more magnificent than the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, which is famous in China.
A person was sitting in front of a foundation attached to the central wall of the tomb. It was a man wearing clothes that looked like they hadn’t been washed in years.
He was on his knees with his head on the ground. It looked like he was committing a grave sin.
He was lying face down in front of the foundation, but his head was facing not towards the foundation but towards the other side.
Center of the square. Instead of the coffin that was there before the cataclysm, there was a huge coiled snake.
It was a huge pit that almost filled this enormous underground square.
Slur.
A head covered with sharp horns rose from inside the coil.
Red eyes glowed between the horns and
slithered.
The snake’s head climbed over the coil and came towards the prone man.
The snake opened its mouth.
Kaaaaagh.
A long tongue swept over the man’s body.
Oooooh!
And a powerful image rang through the underground chamber.
[you. One piece of advice. every. Useful. [There was none.]
Images made up of patterns, colors, shapes, and senses all attacked the man lying face down.
It was a barrage of images that would be difficult for an ordinary person to endure.
The man also trembled.
“sorry. Please forgive me.”
There were many complaints and many things that were unfair, but the man had no choice but to apologize.
[of the clan. A nest. invaded. Thing. I saved it like this. It’s useless. ]
“Give me another chance.” “I will show you a proper operation.”
[Opportunity?]
Ridiculous images poured in on him, and then the images began to create a scene.
This was the scene that the owner and monarch of this nest was currently seeing.
Above your head. The battle that took place on the west side of the ruins unfolded before my eyes.
Grrrr.
A missile fired from a helicopter burned down the forest and his colleagues.
It was a strange fire. Human weapons had to be difficult to break through the shield, but this fire was enough to shake even a knight-level shield.
The companions escaped the fire and attacked the humans, but the humans’ defenses were strong.
Although their comrades united among themselves and attacked humans in various ways, more of their comrades fell.
At this rate, it seemed like the defense would soon be breached.
[Did you see it? You guy. said. Tactics Department. of strategy. It’s the result. every. The thing is. at last. human’s. It’s just a copy.]
The man watched the video blankly.
Many scenes passed by.
The battle continued around the mountain range.
In the face of a sudden enemy attack, he gathers his comrades and destroys the advance route one by one.
And during battle, he cooperates with other colleagues and even retreats when necessary.
These were clearly the tactics and operations he advised.
However, the operations he advised failed miserably on screen.
But all of this was ordered by that snake lord who was now angry with him.
All he gave was advice.
What can a polluted human being subordinate to a monarch do?
It was an incredibly unfair thing, but like a subordinate monster, he wasn’t even angry.
For a moment, he remembered the time before the contamination.
The time when nuclear weapons fell on Chinese soil and the troops rushed to Manchuria.
And when he became the head of a collective political faction and established the independent state of Manchuria.
The last moment was when I was defeated by an awakened man named Li Shiqian and ran to find the treasure hidden in this mountain range.
The best and worst moments of the human Zhou Jianren passed through his mind.
‘In the end, it was a lie to say there was treasure. When I think about it now, it’s amazing how I was fooled by that human-looking monster.’
It was a monster with a hard expression and inhuman speech.
But at that time, he felt like grasping at straws.
Because of that decision, he came into this mountain range with his subordinates and they all died, and he was forced to eat the mana stone and became this polluted human being.
But it wasn’t very unfair.
The memory of being human was just a memory. Even now that I was under the wrath of my master, I had no desire to become human again.
“Please give me another chance. There are still many other operations. I will personally go out and stop the enemy with my colleagues. If you lead from the field, you will be able to do it right!”
He gave an impassioned speech to the monarch. Even now that I was no longer human, I had no desire to die.
Now that I have abandoned humanity, I have come to realize that there is a new path.
He was still useful. I was only pushed back for a moment. I was confident that I would show my skills well against other enemies.
Tsuzzzzzzzz.
Jormungand, the serpent, lashed out at him with his tongue.
[you. Thank you. do. I. Clan only. catch. Eating. Thing. you. If only it were a clan. This moment. In your stomach. I would have gone in. [That is.]
Hearing the monarch’s words, he put his head on the ground again. It was like a human begging for forgiveness, but he didn’t know any other way.
“thank you. thank you.”
Jormungand raised his head at that sight.
[okay. you. Thanks. Sun. I will.]
The snake opened its mouth.
[comfy. Death. Get it. [What happened.]
Saliva flowed from the snake’s mouth.
The saliva soaked the contaminated human back.
“Kaaaaaaak!”
My old clothes burned and my back melted. The bones were exposed and the legs were melting away.
But he could only scream and not move. It was the fate of those who were subordinate to their masters.
Tuk.
In the end, only the head of the contaminated human remained and rolled over the stone chamber.
The snake that spilled venom closed its mouth. Jormungand turned around.
Now the remaining tricks are over. It was time to go out and kill humans.
The whole family ate it anyway. Now the only way to level up was human mana.
The snake severed its connection with its subordinates.
Wow!
A roar was heard from afar. It was a happy sound.
The snake moved its body.
Slurp rumble.
Jormungand, the first of his clan to become a monarch, began to leave the tomb.
*
Same time.
The monsters that were fighting the awakened people suddenly started running rampant.
Wow!
These were monsters that maintained their formation despite numerous attacks, even in the mana fire.
Those monsters ignored the formation and rushed at the awakened people.
People couldn’t help but be surprised.
“Monsters are strange!”
“Isn’t this what it originally was? “It was strange just a little while ago!”
“That’s not the problem! Stop it quickly! “It’s hard to stop it because it goes on a rampage all of a sudden!”
The awakened people screamed.
Dealing with monsters that had camps like humans was very tricky, but it was also safe.
The monsters that were rampaging in anger like now had many weaknesses, but they were also very dangerous.
However, most of the awakened people here were combat awakened.
I have dealt with many monsters that lose their senses and run rampant.
Just as the monsters changed, the awakened people changed from soldiers to hunters.
“Do you have any physical characteristics? “Get in shape!”
“Don’t overlap your movements with the team next to you!”
“Hey, be careful, that guy’s leather sells for quite a bit of money!”
“Wake! “The military takes it anyway!”
“Nimi! “Just screw it!”
The teams created in an instant began to deal with the monster.
Unfortunately, Youngcheol could not join the improvised teams.
It was Yeongcheol who had never hunted with the awakened people of this world. The signals were different from my previous life, and my breathing was also different.
There was no reason to get tired of hugging each other.
It would have been nice to move with Gyu-Gyu, but Gyu-Gyu was moving around hard and holding on to the monsters’ legs.
Even during the fight, Gyu-Gyu’s performance was noticeable.
Yeongcheol had no choice but to fight the large wildcat alone.
Kang! Kang!
The sword kept bouncing off the wildcat’s claws.
It was different from when we fought monsters in formation.
Since there was no help from the side and the monster did not back down, my stamina was quickly depleted.
His body was much weaker than in his previous life.
The cat’s claws cut through my clothes and drew lines into my skin. He was increasingly in danger.
“omg! omg! “It’s like a dog’s body!”
He was panting and cursing at his weakened body.
But no one came running after hearing the curse.
All the other awakened people were fighting monsters.
The helicopters that flew in out of nowhere and launched missiles expended all their cannons and retreated, and all the robots that came with them were destroyed.
And the EV awakeners who appeared in helicopters were sweeping the battlefield.
It was nothing that surprised me when I saw the powerful figures in the Korean Awakened Association.
The awakened people wearing black body armor were fighting better than the awakened people who fought together in their past lives.
Indeed, they were the world’s strongest awakeners.
In particular, the machine gun of an awakened person wearing a helmet showed incredible firepower.
It was like repeatedly hitting the item window to break the shield.
“Tsk!”
Seeing that, Youngcheol couldn’t help but feel even more ashamed.
He believed that he would become the world’s strongest awakened person and save the world, but this turned out to be nothing more than a good awakened person.
Maybe it was because I wielded it with that kind of mindset. The tip of the sword faltered, and blood spurted up my arm.
‘It’s a mistake!’
The wound was great. He quickly backed away, but the monster did not miss him.
The wildcat lunged at him.
Suddenly!
And then it was cut in half.
Puhak!
Blood bloomed from the cut body.
Again, someone else saved his life. The feeling of self-destruction became more severe.
Youngcheol bit his lip. He found the person who had grabbed the injured arm and cut the monster apart.
Behind the monster’s corpse, the back of a man holding a great sword was visible.
He was not looking at the body or Yeongcheol.
He was looking at the large stepped pyramid in the center of the ruins.
He was also wearing a black body armor with a moving EV mark on it.
‘EV Awakening!’
This was the EV awakener I had been looking for. Youngcheol forced himself to open his mouth.
“Thank you. “I am Hyukjun, no, I am Gu Youngcheol, the awakened person.”
EV Awakened turned his head at his words.
Yeongcheol’s expression hardened. It was a face I saw in passing the other day.
A face I saw somewhere. But I couldn’t remember.
“It’s you.”
Kyung-hoon looked at the awakened person who was out of breath.
After all, he was not an ordinary awakened person. The swordsmanship he was using was extremely skillful, even though it was inappropriate for his grade.
But now was not the time to look into the awakened person in question.
Mana was boiling inside the pyramid.
“It’s finally coming up now.”
-Thank you for your hard work.
Kyung-Hoon released some of the mana he had blocked.
Ugh.
The great sword shook violently.
I only created a small gap, but the item sword had a hard time.
“You won’t come and hide now.”
He was a monarch-level monster who used strategy and tactics better than humans. Perhaps this monster could be a monster that could recognize external mana like Kyung-hoon.
If it were that kind of monster, Kyung-hoon could have approached it with Mana exposed and then hidden or run away.
It was one of a kind. On Eve’s advice, Kyung-hoon had kept his mana locked up until now.
“Connect me.”
-yes. We connected with Association President Jinhyeok and the EV operation team.
“Now it’s time to catch him.”
At Kyung-hoon’s words, Jin-hyuk turned to him and the EV awakeners stopped fighting.
“We will take responsibility for this.”
Jinhyuk answered first. Kyunghoon nodded.
“EV special operations team entering.”
“Yes!”
With the answer heard through the earphones, awakened people wearing black body armor began to break through the forest where the fire remained.
Gyeong-hoon glanced at Yeong-cheol one last time and then launched himself toward the ruins.
Yeong-cheol ran with a blank expression on his face . He looked at the back of the awakened man.
The energy he had just felt was an incomprehensible force.
He gritted his teeth. He couldn’t let it go like this.
Youngcheol took out a potion from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and started running towards the ruins.
