The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life - Chapter 482
Chapter 482 Ant Cave (3)
Park Ki-tae’s report.
The Incheon government was upset.
When he was told that the premonition phenomenon was suspected, Kim Jun-hyeok immediately declared a summons.
“… I was complacent.”
office left alone.
Kim Jun-hyeok tousled his hair as if in pain.
In fact, the anomaly in the anthill was able to be resolved before the problem became serious.
If the Incheon government had boldly deployed troops when the two queen ants were first discovered, the precursory phenomenon would have been prevented in advance.
In fact, in many cases, prognosis can be resolved through prevention.
Obviously, I thought it was strange, but I couldn’t move the troops recklessly in a situation preparing for a catastrophe.
I was complacent.
was incompetent
The fact that the problem I was aware of was spreading like wildfire made me feel skeptical about myself.
‘If it’s really a premonition, as reported by the guide. From now on, the Incheon government must subdue the ant nest, even risking life and death. There was an incident where Jeju Island, which was once evaluated as safe next to Seoul in Korea, was destroyed after overlooking the harbinger phenomenon. Just as marine monsters rushed in and wiped out Jeju Island while they stood by, a precursor phenomenon is a problem that can turn into a disaster at any time.’
The destruction of Jeju Island.
It was an example of a teacher on the other hand.
Premonitions appear in various forms, but ignoring them because they are not catastrophic can lead to disastrous results.
That was already 6 years ago.
Obviously, after hearing about Jeju Island, Kim Jun-hyeok strengthened his vigilance against the precursory phenomenon, but he made the mistake of overlooking what was happening in the ant nest.
There was no room for excuses.
Even if there were many restrictions on subjugation, he should have made a decision as soon as he discovered the anomaly.
‘Roman Dmitry. Will he be alive?’
I heard from Park Ki-tae.
The fact that he entered the anthill as a guide, and that Roman Dmitry and Kang Min-ho did not escape and remained in the anthill.
It wasn’t Kim Jun-hyeok’s intention, but he drove them to death.
If I had known that the harbinger phenomenon was occurring in the ant nest, I would never have sent the two of them to the ant hole.
More than anything.
Roman Dmitry did not mobilize forces.
The fact that he had fulfilled his promise to Kim Jun-hyeok could not hide his miserable feelings.
‘When I was suffering from the anthill problem, I thought that proving Roman Dmitri would be a good opportunity. It is a disqualification as the mayor responsible for the safety of citizens. If you recognized the anthill as a problem to be solved, you should not leave the problem to others. If he dies, it is entirely my responsibility.’
I sincerely hoped.
I hope Roman Dmitry is not dead.
Even though he knew it was impossible, he hoped that he would hold out until he and the subjugation team arrived.
“Mayor. Ready.”
“i get it.”
It was Lee Tae-sung.
Kim Jun-hyeok got up from his seat and walked outside.
Until then, the possibility of Roman Dmitri succeeding in subjugation did not exist in Kim Jun-hyeok’s mind.
* * *
The punitive force immediately left the safe zone.
It was a punitive force composed of the Korean army in Incheon and some hunter guilds, including Cheongsan, a mercenary guild.
they were commissioned
The main target of the Hunter Guild’s transactions is the government.
It was a great opportunity to earn money for Cheongsan, but it was judged that it was necessary to help secure Incheon’s safety.
In fact, for that reason, Kim Jun-hyeok coexisted with Red Moon.
I knew that they were working behind the scenes to advance into Seoul, but the existence of Red Moon itself was a necessary evil in Incheon.
of course.
It was a thing of the past.
I didn’t intend to take on their fault just because I needed Red Moon.
The road to the ant nest.
Park Ki-tae, who joined the punitive force, vented his anger as soon as he discovered Gu Cheol-ho, the guild master of Cheongsan.
“야 이 개새끼야. If I had known it would be such a dangerous mission, I should have told you in advance. what? If it seems dangerous, use the teleport scroll to run away? If I had done something wrong because of you, I would have died in the anthill.”
“Oh, it’s Gita. I’m sorry, I’m really sorry!”
“I’m sorry, everything!”
Cheol-ho Gu rolled up his tail.
Although he is friendly with Park Ki-tae, it was a matter of trust for the mercenary guild to cheat on the difficulty of the request.
if.
If rumors spread that he deceived that it was a really dangerous hunting ground and drove the mercenaries to death, it would be an instant for the mercenaries of the Cheongsan Guild to escape.
That’s what mercenaries are.
Depending on financial conditions and their own safety, they were people who would change their affiliation overnight, even if they had been involved in liquidation for years.
Goo Cheol-ho said.
“Gitae. I really didn’t know. If I had known it was such a dangerous hunting ground, of course I would not have let you go. And this is really a secret, but in the first place, this request was directly requested by the ‘Incheon Government’, not by an individual.”
“What does that mean?”
“It is literally. The client was the Incheon government. If you think about it, it doesn’t make sense for an individual to give hundreds of millions of dollars to a D-class guide while hunting. I just trusted the Incheon government. I thought they would have formed a punitive force with a good chance of winning, but I wonder if I would have known that only two people would be sent. The reason I told you to run away if you are in danger, even if you use a scroll, was my heart that your safety is the top priority, even if the opponent is the Incheon government.”
Did the excuse work?
Park Ki-tae showed a softened reaction.
If it was a secret request from the Incheon government, this issue could not be said to be Gu Cheol-ho’s fault.
however.
What is the relationship between Roman Dmitry and the Incheon government?
If it was a friendly relationship, it didn’t make sense to send only the two of them to the anthill.
Goo Cheol-ho looked around.
Judging that Park Ki-tae had calmed down, he subtly changed the topic.
“By the way, those people who went into the ant den. Are they still alive?”
suddenly.
Park Ki-tae reminded me of Roman Dmitry.
It would be impossible with Kang Min-ho’s skills, but Roman Dmitri seemed to have a corner to believe in.
‘If he’s an A-class talent… … .’
I couldn’t think of an S grade.
There are less than 20 people worldwide.
There was no way that the only S-rank Hunter in Korea was Roman Dmitry.
A grade was possible.
That also made no sense, but it was an area that could be fitted by turning the hope circuit.
but.
Park Ki-tae shook his head and said.
“… I’m probably dead. No matter how strong he is, it is impossible for him to survive in that hell so far.”
* * *
Shortly after Park Ki-tae left.
Kang Min-ho raised his sword and showed a nervous expression.
The ants were pouring in endlessly from holes drilled in all directions around the nest of the queen ant.
kyaaak!
Krrrr.
‘… Will I die like this?’
Dozens of queen ants.
If they continued to produce ants for a month, there was no guarantee when the waves of ants would end.
a thousand? two thousand? Or tens of thousands? Because the end was unknown, Kang Min-ho felt like a cold sweat was flowing.
I had to live.
I couldn’t die at this rate, so I firmly gripped the sword with my increasingly wet hands.
unlike him.
Roman Dmitry was still calm.
“Kang Min-ho.”
“yes.”
“Do you think, by the standards of this world, it would take a certain level of skill to deal with all the ants?”
“that is… .”
I was troubled for a while.
A B-class Hunter is impossible.
If so, it must be at least grade A, but no matter how strong it is, it will inevitably lose its strength against numerous ants alone.
Of course, there might be an A-class hunter that goes beyond Kang Min-ho’s common sense.
But there was only one premise that could definitively answer Roman Dmitri’s question.
“S grade. In South Korea, only the white-clad wizard can solve this situation.”
“is it.”
sereung.
Roman Dmitry drew his sword.
As if blocking Kang Min-ho’s path, he slowly walked towards the ants.
“At that level, it’s an experience suitable for judging the standards of this world.”
* * *
A new world.
A new standard was needed.
Roman Dmitri is confident in himself, but he was not so complacent as to be overconfident in the unknown.
‘Last month. I have studied this world. Now, many things have been established in my head, but it is foolish to judge the world with knowledge received in text. It takes experience. A clear experience proving that what I’ve been studying is true.’
Kwalung.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Raised mana.
I walked toward the ants rushing at me from all sides, and as soon as I ran into them, Roman Dmitri also kicked the ground.
Flash.
Papa papapat.
The leading ants were torn to shreds.
At the same time as the hard outer skin was cut off like tofu, Roman Dmitri dug into the space infested with ants.
The ants reacted ferociously. It seemed to them that Roman Dmitri had suddenly appeared in front of them, apparently thinking he was far away.
Pooh.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Before they could react sensibly, Roman Dmitri’s sword tore through the bodies of the ants.
kyaaak!
Kyaaaaagh!
The ants ran like crazy.
As if the emotion of fear was excluded, they pushed on even when their own people were dying.
The number was truly unfathomable.
From a distance, it was an overwhelming sight, as if black waves were rolling in, but the black waves turned dark red the moment they encountered Roman Dmitri.
Flash.
if you stick your head in.
head blown off
If you swing your front paw.
Paws flew off.
Even if dozens of ants attacked simultaneously, the end result of their bodies being torn apart was not different.
Quaang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Everywhere evaporated.
As Roman Dmitry stepped forward, the life of the ants that existed there was lost. It was a one-sided slaughter.
Against Roman Dmitri, the distinction between worker ants and soldier ants was meaningless, so both worker ants and soldier ants died without being able to block an attack.
They’re just easy things anyway. Even after only a few minutes had passed, countless corpses had already piled up behind Roman Dmitri.
risk factors?
didn’t exist
Visually, it looked quite dangerous, but all the attacks coming from all sides were within Roman Dmitri’s domain.
There was no need to dodge.
It was cut just as it was attacking.
His hard forelimbs cracked, his body split in two, his teeth shattered and his head blown off.
I was thirsty.
more.
more more
I wanted them to be strong.
When Roman Dmitri first set foot in the unknown world, apart from his feelings about his previous life, he had a feeling of anticipation that he might meet a new strongman.
I recalled every intense moment.
An opponent who can’t guarantee victory even if he puts all his strength into it. He had never felt as alive as he did then, even though his blood was dry and he was walking on a thorny road.
at last.
Roman Dmitry was such a being.
A being who finds meaning in life only by living an unusual life that does not stand out in a peaceful life.
It was contradictory.
While hoping to regain his peaceful life, Roman Dmitry hoped that the process would be difficult.
Flash.
Kwadeuk.
landed
emanated a sense of presence.
When more than a thousand ants were slaughtered, the queen ants who were watching the situation could not stand it and rushed at it.
The queen ant is a B-rank monster.
Aside from its ability to spawn hundreds of ants a day, it is a powerful enough monster to be classified as a B-class simply because of its hard shell and sharp teeth.
But that’s it.
The life of the queen ant was no different.
Like worker ants, like soldier ants.
When Roman Dmitri’s sword slashed through their flesh, the outer shell, which was considered hard, splattered dark red blood.
Pooh.
Kieeck.
The ants screamed.
It was overwhelming.
Fear contagious as if it were imprinted on their cells, they belatedly realized that Roman Dmitri was an unbearable existence.
‘If this is the level of catastrophe people say… … .’
Kwajik.
I trampled on the queen ant’s head, which was trembling on the floor.
Now the judgment has been made.
‘There is no reason to hesitate from now on.’
After slaughtering all the ants in front of me.
Roman Dmitry will go ahead with his plan without hesitation.
