Chapter 403
About 20 military transport planes and fighter jets that followed for escort had trouble landing.
「This, this.」
「Could not find the landing point!」
A small town entirely in ruins.
The tightly packed buildings collapsed like dominoes, and flames gushed out from everywhere.
But what frightened the pilots more than anything else was the horrific sight that could be seen even from afar.
School playgrounds, convenience stores, government offices… … Mountains of corpses and rivers of red blood filled the void where peaceful daily life had disappeared.
A wide road to hell drawn by the monster army.
It was a time when those who looked at the ground where life did not exist shuddered with indescribable fear.
“Let it land.”
“Cho, Commander-in-Chief. but… … . J
“But, not necessarily, one. This is an order.”
Facing the mature man’s hard face with a heavy voice, the pilot realized that he had no choice.
Because he was a soldier, and his opponent was the actual commander-in-chief who commanded this war.
It was madness to disobey the orders of Chairman Xiao’s trusted confidante, Minister Wei Penghu, the head of the Central Military Commission’s defense department.
And at Weifenghu’s words that continued the next moment, the pilot thought.
I’d rather disobey orders would be less insane.
“Go to the general hospital that the Western Front has made a temporary headquarters for.”
“yes? But there… … . J
“According to the last communication that arrived, this must be the place where the fiercest battle took place. maybe even now. I know that too well.”
“… … .”
“Perhaps it is already too late. but we have to go If even one person is still alive, I will help him fight.”
Wei Fenghu, with deep sunken eyes, continued.
“Hold the steering wheel. And make the furthest landing.”
It was unconventional for the commander-in-chief to come all the way here, but to try to land first. Considering the monsters still remaining, it was a truly enormous risk.
,Damn it. ,
The pilot closed his eyes and turned on the communication. Soon, a finely trembling voice began to spread throughout the aircraft through the communication network.
“VIP-777 commands all units. I command all aircraft… … . j Hearing his orders being issued, Wei Penghu took a slow, deep breath.
In preparation for an emergency, the dropping equipment on my body felt as heavy as a thousand pounds of rock.
‘Is it because it’s the first time in 30 years? I’m trembling.’ And this feeling was not unique to Weifenghu alone.
All of the 4,000 hunters who boarded twenty or so military transport planes had great and small fears.
Someone will want to run away right away, and someone will try to suppress their fear and burn their fighting spirit.
No one knows who will die in the upcoming battle. Weifenghu was no exception, and the reason why he, the commander-in-chief, risked his way to the battlefield was because of the morale of his soldiers.
‘If you only drive your subordinates to death, you are not qualified to be a commander: That was Wei Penghu’s lifelong theory, and his maternal nephew, Lei Fei, who was no different from his own son, respected such an uncle.
Suddenly, a part of the old general’s chest throbbed at the nostalgic face that passed before his eyes.
“… … I miss you.」
Weifenghu murmured softly.
It’s been 15 days since Leifei went missing. But he did not give up hope. The same was true of Leifei’s wife and daughter, who were moved to a safe place.
‘Today, I saw someone who looked like you.’
A young man still in his twenties. Having accumulated great achievements in a distant land, he left without hesitation when he heard that the Western Front was in danger.
He even laughed while trying to teleport, which had only a 10% chance of survival.
‘That’s fine. At least ten percent.’
‘Probably, it’s a thousand times higher than the probability of crossing the dimension.’
When he heard the news from Magic Johnson, Wei Penghu immediately mobilized the forces of the General Command and formed a squadron.
I was shocked by the mettle of Jin Tae-gyeong, a young man who was only a foreigner.
‘You must have done that too. It was at that very moment that a faint smile formed on Wei Penghu’s lips when he asked the inaudible question.
“I-I can’t do this… … ! j
“Super, Commander-in-Chief!”
Wei Fenghu raised his head at the pilots’ urgent cries and looked out the window.
On the ground, which was gradually approaching, there was a bloody sea more brutal than any battlefield I had ever witnessed.
Corpse and blood, blood and corpse… … .
The general hospital, the temporary headquarters of the Western Front, collapsed terribly, revealing its ugly steel frame, and a huge sinkhole that opened like an entrance to hell and dozens of craters carved into the ground were filled with red-green blood.
There were countless corpses of monsters and humans that had fallen. thousands? No, it took more than 10,000 days.
“… … oh my god.”
“Eh, who the hell is that?”
The land of the dead, scratched by disaster.
The pilots who lost their words and looked at the miserable ground suddenly came to their senses at Weifenghu’s cry.
“Lower the altitude, hurry!”
“Yes, old!”
The threat to the monsters has disappeared, but we must not be vigilant.
The pilot maneuvered the aircraft more carefully than ever before and attempted to land while drenched in a cold sweat.
Kigigigiggik, koo-kung!
An aircraft that was swept away by several violent vibrations. The first person to get off the plane that finally landed was none other than Weifenghu.
Tadadadak!
Following him, the 200 hunters who were on the transport plane quickly set foot on the ground.
And their reaction was divided into two parts.
“This crazy… … . j

Awe at the unexpected sight.
“Woo-wook, woo-wee-eee!”
Nausea from the smell of blood and fragmented corpses that filled the surroundings.
At the same time, questions that filled my brain.
‘whoever?’
It was at that moment that Wei Penghu and everyone else were frozen like statues, forgetting that they had to find survivors.
chubby, chubby.
The sound of footsteps echoing across the silent battlefield.
About two hundred pairs of gazes focused on a person crossing the battlefield stepping on pooled blood on the floor.
Head to toe, green blood
Wei Fenghu, who was looking at him covered in a suit, murmured like a moan.
“Sensei Jin… … ? J
It was definitely him.
It looked like a blood person, but Wei Penghu could recognize it.
The teleport magic with a 10% chance of survival overturned the gloomy war situation, and Jin Tae-gyeong survived.
His seemingly unstoppable pace stopped in front of Weifenghu.
slap.
Clotted with the sticky blood of monsters
Jin Tae-gyeong, who brushed her hair up, spoke the first word after silence.
“The battle is over. The surviving monsters are… … doesn’t exist.”
“… … ! j
“… … ! j
His unbelievable words sent the audience into a shudder.
According to the last communication sent from the Western Front, the number of monster corps reached ten thousand.
And that’s not all. It was the most overwhelming offensive of the five fronts, as the Death Knight Lord, who was considered the henchman of the Arch Reach, came out directly.
On the other hand, the number of hunters who fought against him was only about a thousand. The rest of the People’s Liberation Army was nothing more than a piece of paper.
‘It’s not enough to win such a battle, to annihilate an army of 10,000 monsters.’ A battle that would have been impossible without one person. A victory that was possible only because there was one person at the same time.
It is said that an S-class hunter is a strategic weapon that can turn the tide of war at once, but who has made such an achievement since the cataclysm?
Two hundred hunters were awe-inspiring
He looked at the young man in front of his eyes.
But one person, Weifenghu, was different.
The old general stared at Jin Tae-gyeong with sad and fearful eyes. No, he was looking at the sword in his hand.
It was a sword he was most familiar with, and that made his heart ache even more.
Because I know what the current situation means
“That child… … Did you meet?」
Jin Tae-gyeong, who was silent for a moment, answered.
“He told me he loved me.”
“… … ! j
“I also said sorry.”
Weifenghu gritted his teeth, trying to hold back the tears that leaked out. Amid the blurry vision, the last words reached my ears.
“He was the best Hunter I’ve ever seen.”
It was there. Tears flowed down Toutuk and Weifenghu’s wrinkled skin.
A wind that blew from somewhere gently embraced him.
* * *
It doesn’t matter if you’re a grade or achievement, a hunter or not.
He deserves to be called a hero just because he sacrificed himself for the sake of others.
That is why Leifei will remain in my memory for a long time.
A person who was resurrected as an undead but died as a human.
He is truly a true hunter and hero who fulfilled his mission until the end.
It was the same with so many people who died on this spot today.
and… … Even the two who have not yet regained consciousness.
‘I said I wouldn’t wake up until all the fatigue was recovered.’
Recalling what the healer had told me earlier, I looked at Team Leader Choi and Xiao Shen who were both in a deep sleep.
Thanks to the top-notch potion, the injuries of the two were healed as if they were washed, but the accumulated fatigue in the body and mind was a separate issue.
‘Because even I, who level up, faint sometimes.’
The two fought bravely until the end.
To the extent that he did not let go of the weapon he was holding even in the pain of having his limbs cut off.
“A hero, a hero… … .”
Confused, I looked at the sword I had placed beside me. The sword and memento left behind by that hero.
Wei Penghu, who was weeping endlessly, returned the sword to me, who was extremely reluctant.
‘I hope Mr. Jin will take care of that guy too.
I would have wanted it.’
Are you sure, Leifei?
He touched the sword body while asking a question that would not come back with an answer. It is a famous sword that gives you a cool feeling just by looking at it.
‘Item appraisal.’
belt ring.
[Hero’s Soul]
Nose已,Geo OF丁。 口 .
Rank: Transcendence.
Restrictions: Those worthy of a hero.
Description: Extremely hard and sharp. It contains the last soul of a noble hero, and those who meet the qualifications can exert even stronger power.
hero’s soul?
Thinking of Leifei, it was an appropriate name, but it was definitely a strange sword.
Even in the fierce battle, there was not a single incontinence, so the level of transcendence was aside, and the restrictions were unique.
‘Only those with the right mind can use it
Can you?’ hmm. Where should I try it?
Without hesitation, I grabbed the hilt of the sword and lowered it into the air.
shhh!
Better than expected.
The weight and balance were just right, and I liked the sharpness that cuts through even the wind. The icing on the cake is the addition of system notifications that were heard right away.
belt ring.
– [Hero’s Soul] will lead you to the right mindset
recognized as the owner of
– [Hero’s Power] has been manifested. All stats rise slightly and fatigue is reduced. Depending on the specific situation, greater power can be drawn out.
I don’t know what that particular situation is, but it seems not now. I didn’t even feel that the ability level that had risen was really as much as a rat’s tail. It’s like adding another bucket of water to the lakeside.
‘Instead, it would be perfect for personality evaluation.’
Named, personality determination test.
Those approaching from now on are planning to test it with the hero’s soul. If it’s the right guy that the sword accepts, I’ll stay close to him, otherwise I’ll swipe with the mindset that I’ll get rid of the roots… … .
gripping weave!
In an instant, the strong current flowing through my grasp let go of the sword.
what is this?”
Amidst the bewilderment, a system message floated in the air with sharp notifications.
Beep!
– You have an evil heart!
– [Hero’s Spirit] rejected you!
– The effect of [Hero’s Power] is gone!
So absurd. I just thought of doing it.
Looking down at the fallen sword, I smiled. It suddenly occurred to me that perhaps Leifei’s soul had dwelled a little.
Wait, so what?
“Are you listening?”
After a moment of silence, the Skeleton Warlord in the inventory answered.
– ??… ? Yes.
“Nothing else, I have a question for you.
– , ?… ? If the question is about the Ego Sword, I’ll answer no. Only a very weak trace of the soul will remain on that sword. The 2L human you think has already disappeared.
Normally he’s missing a screw, but he’s a named monster and the commander of the Corps of the Dead.
At the time of Leifei’s disappearance, he absorbed some of the scattered mana and became stronger, so there was a high possibility that what he said was true.
by the way… … .
What’s wrong?”
– hmm?
“It’s just that the atmosphere has been gloomy since earlier.”
Having said that, I want this to make sense. Why is the atmosphere so gloomy for undead monsters? Aren’t they gloomy from birth?
‘It’s a problem that a guy who doesn’t do this.’
But then, the Skeleton Warlord suddenly opened his mouth.
– Suddenly, I had a thought.
“What are you thinking?”
– In the past, what kind of existence was I?
– I don’t have any memories. Although the human named Leifei had disappeared, Commander Bonn was jealous of him. At least he knows who he is.
I thought he was thinking like this
hey
After thinking for a while, I spoke in a warm voice.
“Then shall I destroy it?”
“Why, you said you were envious.”
– Oh, no, that’s not what I meant…
“.
The Skeleton Warlord’s urgent excuses did not lead to the end. It was because of the polite voice that came from beyond the door along with the knock.
“Mr. Jin. Comrade the Minister of State is looking for
You are.」
It seems that the time has already come.
“yes. I will go now.”
I got up from my seat after taking one last look at the two people who were asleep. And I muttered something I hadn’t been able to say.
“Well, maybe I thought he was a very nice guy.”
– … … uh? Did you say that to the commander who saw it?
“no. I’m just talking to myself.”
– Keheung, Keheung. yes?
However, the fact that the skeleton’s voice, which had been down with a lot of grass, became brighter, would not be an illusion. I left the room laughing.
