322. What is a rough road to some is a shortcut to others.
I felt the weight of the knife in both hands and turned it around in my hands, gripping it in reverse.
This knife is not a razor blade. It is just a solid adamantium knife.
But, didn’t you say that sharpening a blade was more difficult than making an optical weapon?
So it was a weapon I liked more.
Kang Purum said that it was embarrassing to even call this a customized weapon, but it was not an exaggeration to call it a custom weapon.
The weight, the balance, the sharp blade, the grip that fits my hand perfectly.
To put it bluntly, the knives I’ve used so far were at the level of box cutters.
Two small, round, glowing beads.
The marbles drew long lines in the air, creating afterimages.
Soon the line rushed towards me.
I crossed my knives in reverse and drew them into the air.
Skuruk. Couple book.
The blade cut through the black mass that had come flying at it.
Although it is not an optical weapon, it is an extremely sharp blade. In my hand, it only has the texture of a thick piece of paper to cut.
It was a dirty, sharp knife.
A hot steam rose from the air where the blade had passed, and hot flesh and internal organs fell to the floor from the black mass where it had been cut.
I could feel it even without seeing it.
Still, it may not be as accurate as it looks.
The mask created by Kang Purum’s research team basically has a built-in communication device.
It is also possible to communicate bidirectionally between pre-connected masks.
I think there were a whopping 120 channels.
I don’t know why so many channels are needed though.
“Channel A again. Clear vision required.”
“check.”
I heard Ki-nam’s voice coming down right behind me.
Tick.
Soon a small marble rolled onto the floor.
This is Kang Purum’s special flash device.
It’s not a bullet, it’s a device.
Soon the bead split and light shot forward, spreading out in radial patterns to illuminate all directions.
Crackle, crackle, crackle!
Soon, a sound like the croaking of a mouse was heard, illuminating the scene before my eyes.
It was above the ceiling.
I saw some guys shaking like a pendulum above.
Number 21 Mosquito Bat, the mosquito bat.
“Number 21, confirmed mosquito bat, mosquito bat, estimated population of one hundred and sixty-two.”
Kinam quickly figured out the number of invaders.
Lost North is a lost land.
Black holes appear and disappear here dozens of times a day, which is why mankind has classified this land as one of the anomalous phenomena.
Blinking hole, blink hole.
Thanks to that, there are always invaders here.
I was able to witness the phenomenon with my own eyes.
Even the tunnels are full of invaders.
The guys who had been shaking their bodies in the air soon rushed in one by one.
And on our side, one person jumped out.
“Marie does it.”
Oh my?
“Leave it alone.”
“Mother,” she said, and before she could finish her sentence, Marie pulled out an axe from behind her.
He drew it out and swung it. The axe drew a curved line between the flock of flying Mosquitoes, then greeted them with a slash.
Their snouts are shaped like straws, and when something gets stuck in them, it sucks out 10cc of blood per second.
As much as I lost blood, I also lost stamina, and it was only in an instant that I dried up like a mummy.
So, if you ask, is this dangerous?
Well, what should I call this?
Marie danced. An axe dance with nimble footwork.
And the dance cut and sliced the flying invaders.
Jeongjik, who reflexively raised the gun and aimed it, soon took his hand off the trigger.
One hundred and sixty-two invaders rushed in, but they were cut down in an instant.
A few of them tried to thrust their straw mouths at Marie’s shoulders or sides.
Boom!
It bounced off the tough combat suit and failed to penetrate.
Thud.
Soon the last mosquito bat was cut in two by the axe. The torn wings scattered on the ground. Marie caught her breath lightly amidst the meaty mass.
“It’s perfect for a warm-up.”
so?
“Are there going to be more invaders?”
“Wouldn’t that be true? I guess the basement is full of them too.”

Behind them, the mixed-blood pair of Guitae and Yohan whispered.
“Rose, you said it was pretty dangerous here?”
“It did.”
Rose answered my question.
They said it would be quite difficult to get through the tunnel because there are invaders there.
Yeah, that’s right.
After that, as Rose said, the invaders did appear.
Next came a group of goblins, who had a hobby of digging tunnels.
Thud thud.
Armed with automatic rifles, we swept away two hundred goblins in one fell swoop.
The few that managed to get close were chopped down by Marie with an axe.
“movement.”
Organize and move.
The invader pops out again. It’s a troll.
These guys have terrible regenerative power.
Hwaruk.
This one was burned by Gwitae with a flamethrower.
After that, various invaders appeared.
There were some who would originally say it was difficult.
There were things like slime, for example.
It was frozen with an ice bullet.
“… … Rose, didn’t you say it was dangerous here?”
“Oh, well. It’s dangerous. When we came here to investigate with Prometheus before, there were casualties.”
Rose got annoyed.
Who said what?
I was just asking.
Anyway, the kid is very irritable.
Whoa whoa whoa!
Is it because I said it was too easy?
A really tricky invader has appeared.
Oh my god.
“Oh my god.”
Rose said, “He’s a dangerous invader.”
He is a strong man. In close combat, he is an invader with incredible strength that rivals that of the shapeshifters.
Boom! Bang!
As soon as he came out, his head exploded.
Broken skulls, brains, and blood were scattered everywhere.
The light beads that had been thrown underneath rolled around.
Soon the ogre’s body tilted backwards and fell down with a thud.
The ogre died with his limbs trembling.
It was a work created by Jeong-ah’s older sister’s cash hippo.
The title of the piece will be ‘The only good invader is a dead invader.’
Am I the only one who feels this way?
Because the battles I’ve had before have involved fighting against unique creatures and ones that number in the hundreds.
“Is it because the tunnel is narrow? There aren’t many.”
“My mother yawned as she spoke.
Yeah, there was no sense of crisis.
“Are you coming again?”
“Honestly,” Jeongjik said, throwing a few more light beads forward.
This time it was a horde of orcs. There were quite a few of them.
About fifty?
Moreover, some of them were armed with shields.
“Wow, it’s an orc.”
As soon as I spoke, Ki-nam, Yo-han, Gwi-tae, and Mi-ho started shooting at my head with pinpoint accuracy.
Pubbububububu.
The sound of a drum exploding rings out repeatedly, and as soon as they approach, they fall to the ground with a pitter-patter.
Lost North, the land of the lost north.
Here, countless invaders are created by the blink hole phenomenon.
This can also cause an invader flood phenomenon.
Russia, South Korea, China, and other countries bordering each other have demarcated borders into MZs, or armed zones, and stationed troops there.
It’s a periodic sweep to prevent invaders from flooding in.
“It’s a rose.”
“Don’t talk to me. I’m feeling complicated.”
Rose said, this is a rough road, it’s dangerous.
But that risk is relative.
After that, various numbered invaders came out.
The activities of a former special forces agent who discovered weaknesses through rigorous training during his time in the Immortal Special Forces.
Marie’s performance, trained by her mother.
“It’s gross.”
There was Kim Geun-yuk, who had shrunk a bit from training lately, but was displaying incredible strength.
Pot.
There was a certain Jeongjigi who transformed his body into light, evaded the Silence Worm’s tentacles, and then stuck a flame grenade into his torso.
“Even if it’s just appearances, it really breaks my heart.”
There was even Hye-Min, a top-tier mana user.
Hye-min greeted the doppelganger that imitated her appearance, then ran out without hesitation and beat it up without mercy.
He kicked her head with a high kick, made a fist, threw a post-it note that was used as a scroll into the air, created a spear of ice, and stuck it in her head.
The doppelganger that was hit by the spear turned into a green, sticky liquid and flowed down.
This group of doppelgangers were the highlight of our tunnel exploration.
The doppelgangers all copied my appearance because I was in the lead.
At this moment, the entire NS team became one and fought passionately.
“Everyone is working hard, so how can I play?”
Middlepick Dog Baby ran out and hit the doppelganger’s head with the back of his pistol, breaking it.
Kinam was killed by either strangling or cutting the victim’s neck with a wire.
Even the quiet Rose took a step forward and activated Medusa’s eyes.
I swung my three-pronged staff and broke the head of the stopped doppelganger.
“Break their heads, kill them all.”
“Wow, my congestion has cleared up. Why do I feel so refreshed?”
John, come out too.
Miho also swung her laser blade without saying a word.
Are you using that expensive optical weapon here?
To a mere doppelganger?
And you guys have been shooting so well up until now, so why are you all fighting hand-to-hand now?
“you.”
“What.”
“repeatedly.”
“Are you hitting me?”
Jeongjiki hit the heads of each one of them with a single word.
Why does this sound like you’re talking to me?
Only my mother, Marie, me, and Kim Geun-yuk remained.
Why is even Panda-hyung standing there sweating as if he’s absorbed in labor?
“son.”
“Yes, Mother.”
“What do you usually do to make you act like this?”
I had nothing to say.
I’ve been taking good care of you so far.
That kid Kinam seems to be bad at close combat, so knock him out as soon as he attacks.
Jeongjik, please spar with me from time to time so that I don’t fall behind.
Hye-min keeps talking nonsense, so tell her to come to her senses.
Brother Panda, you might get bored, so give me some work to do.
There is also an author who brought a love shot of a blue knight to the company and killed it.
Aren’t they all just doing a good job?
“Whew, it’s all done.”
Jeongjik, who had defeated all the doppelgangers, wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was an act that gave a glimpse of the appearance of a laborer who had finished his sacred labor.
“What did you say when you were fighting the invader?”
You ask me so honestly.
“I was so absorbed in the battle that I gained some morale.”
He opens his mouth without changing his expression at all.
Heh heh, I raised you so well and now you’re hitting me in the back of the head?
“I guess everyone has feelings for me.”
“I dealt with emotions because they were invaders.”
Mr. Jungbong said.
“Why did you have to put down the gun and use your fists?”
“The enemy is getting closer. You’d better be careful of the gunfire.”
Mr. Lee Jung-bong seemed to be getting more and more sly as the days went by.
“How do you know when the enemy is near?”
“The sixth sense of the immortal tells me so.”
“……Ah-oh.”
If you can’t speak, you won’t be hated.
“Don’t sweat the small stuff. We’re on a mission.”
Kinam said.
Who the hell is getting so worked up over such a trivial thing, you idiot?
Is that something a guy who has his doppelganger’s neck wired up like that would say?
I thought you were doing some kind of performance art with invaders.
“Whew, I thought Hye-min’s heart was going to break. Even though he’s an Invader, his appearance is so similar.”
“Don’t call me by my name in the third person. It reminds me of what I ate a week ago, you idiot.”
“Tch, you didn’t say anything to Marie.”
Are you and Marie the same?
He’s my younger sibling and you’re Kang Hye-min.
“You f*cking idiot.”
“Don’t even say anything to the West.”
And why do you keep saying that your heart breaks every time you hit hard?
“Umiho, you.”
“Let it go. It’s all my fault. If you’re going to blame Miho, then blame me.”
Fart-tae, are you watching a morning drama these days?
Look at the timing of the intervention and the dialogue that follows.
“… … Let’s go, let’s go.”
Anyway, it was a minor thing.
There was no difficulty in moving forward as the invaders were not a threat.
As I continued on like that, before half a day had passed, I could hear a sound in my ears and a smell in my nose.
“A sound.”
“smell.”
Kinam and Mari reacted at the same time.
One side is the sense of immortality, the other side is the sense of smell of the shapeshifter.
Instead of communicating, I sent a signal.
From here on out, reconnaissance will be necessary.
Na-na, Lee Jung-bong, and Jeong Gi-nam took the lead.
It was essential to kill the presence.
The place we went was an empty lot.
It wasn’t just an empty lot.
It was accompanied by a cart carrying a large orange cylinder that looked ominous just by looking at it.
I could tell without anyone asking.
That is the core device of the Baekdu Mountain active volcano live show.
The guys guarding the front came into view.
He looked like a fully armed mercenary thug.
And to my eyes, they didn’t look any more dangerous than the invaders we’d encountered so far.
