344. What lies beyond the open road?
My heart was pounding with tension.
Because I know that all the training I’ve done and the theories I’ve learned so far were for this moment.
A half-blood immortal, a dishonorable discharged soldier, a former national representative, and even a neighborhood girl who applied because she knew nothing else but taekwondo.
Now they are all trained combat personnel.
The half-blood immortal, now a full-time employee of NS, felt something catch his foot.
It was a thick tree root that suddenly appeared from the ground as if it were a trap.
There are no trees or anything nearby, but the roots remain.
As I tensed my thigh muscles as if I was kicking a ball, the half-rotten root snapped without any strength.
The floor was uneven.
There were paths paved with sharp gravel and vines growing in a tangled pattern.
Of course, it doesn’t really matter.
I’ve been training in this environment so far.
‘It must have all been calculated.’
Anyone with a little bit of brain power can recognize this. It’s a fact that even those who aren’t necessarily smart enough to foresee the future can quickly figure out.
The fact that they hired full-time employees for this job in the first place.
“Damn, my hands are shaking so much I’m going to die.”
I heard my colleague say that he had just hit three blind dog heads in succession.
“You shot well.”
“Shooting is shooting, and shaking is shaking.”
As he spoke, his colleague shook the barrel of his gun.
Heat rose from the overheated barrel, belching blue smoke.
It was a phenomenon caused by the bullet that heated the barrel and the alloy that supported it.
BLUE STEAM, BLUE STEAM.
Due to this phenomenon, their weapons were named the Blue Steam Series.
As he waved the barrel in the air, blue vapor dispersed, forming strange shapes.
It has a heavier and thicker texture than steam.
The half-blood immortal understood his comrade’s words fully.
How many of these people have combat experience?
Most of them don’t have it.
So, it was crazy to put them into a real-life situation like this with just training.
What’s more, in a battlefield like this?
A battlefield where a large number of invaders are emerging, and you are literally trapped in a horde of monsters.
Originally, this was crazy, almost like suicide. Whether or not he signed a life waiver, he should have run away if he was going to die.
‘But how can this be?’
Originally, it was a battlefield where running away would have been the best option, but it wasn’t. It wasn’t meant to be.
At least for now I don’t feel the need to run away.
The immortal’s senses and reason both judged it that way.
‘The company name is NS.’
It means out of specification.
That was exactly what it said.
That was the equipment they gave me.
The suit that was put on my body was like that.
The railgun rifle pierced the invader’s head, which was made of rock.
The wheeled invader’s armor was shattered, like a crash tank.
“It’s wheel night.”
“Concentrated fire!”
At the commander’s word, specially made bullets pierce holes in the Wheel Knight’s armor.
Real life should be easier than training.
A half-blood immortal who has completed military training knows that.
No matter how rigorous the training, it is only natural that a single gunshot on the battlefield would turn the battle line into chaos.
They were like that too. They used to be like that.
At first, I felt cold and my ranks collapsed when I saw the invaders, but when I saw the blind dogs falling down two or three at a time after being pierced by a single bullet, my thoughts began to change a little.
And at the forefront were the team leaders who were instructors.
‘These are out-of-spec powers.’
What a brilliantly named company.
The half-blood immortal found himself thinking that way.
It was so obvious. Those who were called leaders showed off their ability to laugh at the immortal special forces agents they once dreamed of.
Group 1 leader Park Dae-gi.
Instead of poking a hole in the head of the blind dog that was rushing at him, the leader did a somersault while touching the dog’s forehead with his hand.
Then, the blind dog’s gaze followed the leader. The sound of its teeth clashing echoed through the air.
The leader dodged the charge and the bastard’s fangs with a single somersault.
It didn’t end with dodging. While floating in the air, he pulled the single-molecule cutter out of its sheath and put it back in.
The drawn sword cut off the dog’s head.
After getting down on the ground, he stands in front, at the very front line, and fires his rifle in rapid succession.
The immortal, and the tricks that could be seen only with more training and effort, were evident in his hands, feet, and body.
The roughly fired bullets sprayed sparks and blood in all directions.
‘I even used the recoil of the gun.’

It wasn’t something that could be said of being born immortal.
Captain Park Dae-gi used the recoil of the railgun to twist his body and bend his arm to pull the trigger.
If this wasn’t a battlefield and the commander wasn’t holding a sword and a gun, it would have been like watching a musical.
It was that elegant and that splendid.
‘amazing.’
The hybrid immortal saw his future self.
If Park Dae-gi had known, he might have offered his deepest condolences, even though he had once been an instructor.
Of course, even considering all that, Park Dae-gi won’t stop him.
Because your body is proving it right now.
‘light.’
Park Dae-gi wondered if his body could be this light after awakening.
After the two authors, NS representative and Se-Choi-Teuk’s teacher, returned, the training situation became even crazier.
Do I really have to go this far?
The question has come to my mind about thirty-eight thousand six hundred times.
But I endured it.
If he had wanted comfort rather than hardship, he would have stayed in Hwarim.
In some ways, this may be God’s question to himself.
The Park family was a devout Christian family.
Will you endure the path you have chosen?
God asked, and Park Dae-gi decided to prove himself.
The body is light. Even in shooting, which usually requires concentration, there is no hesitation.
No, it was actually easier now because I still had the habit of rolling around and shooting.
‘It’s better than fighting a transformed white tiger or a bear.’
Dealing with blind dogs, champions, ogres, orcs, etc. was tens of thousands of times easier.
In reality, it is true that this is a battlefield where lives are at stake, so it is more dangerous. That is why I had to be more tense.
Park Dae-gi felt the opposite. That’s how much the training was like a f*cking disease.
“It’s a manticore!”
This is the cry of a bright-eyed and wide-eyed assistant.
In an instant, Park Dae-gi, who had fired a series of shots into the heads of two champions, three elves, and two heartlesses around him, briefly looked away with a moment of composure.
“… … Gun failure! Gun failure!”
Clank clank.
Just in front of the manticore, a single member of the crew was placed in a lump.
Any gun could cause an abnormality.
It was no different from the Blue Steam series.
There was no chance of getting caught in the cartridge case, but the blue vapor had not yet fully escaped and was stuck inside.
The solution is easy. Just hold the gun in the middle and open it outward.
It could have been solved in ten seconds at most, but the nervous agent’s hands were slow.
In the gap, the ‘Manticore’ of ‘Number 20’ came running.
Boom! Boom!
He stomped on the ground. He stepped on the blind dog blocking his way, and the blind dog’s head turned into mashed potatoes.
Since it weighs well over a hundred kilograms, a blind dog would be crushed to death.
It had a mane like a lion, a face nestled within it, a scorpion’s tail, and wings on its back.
“Kkieekkieek!”
It sounded like something you would expect from a broken, poor-quality recorder.
This is the howl of an excited manticore.
The scream soon becomes life-threatening and makes the opponent’s body stiffen.
The assistant’s hand froze. Blue vapor rose from the half-opened gun.
The manticore’s jaw gaped open.
The mouth stretched up and down. It looked like it could bite and swallow a person in one breath.
A member who has left the battle line due to the excitement, tension, and other reasons.
Park Dae-gi decided that it was a place that was out of his reach.
There is no way another leader can touch it.
But that doesn’t mean you have to worry. In NS, you are just an agent.
They are not even included in the core power axis. To conclude, they are not the only ones here.
Chin. Crunch!
Beyond the blue vapor gushing from the broken barrel, something hazy drew a line. The vapor parted along that line.
The ship struck the manticore’s front leg.
The manticore reacted too. It blocked with its front paw. And then it was cut off.
The severed foreleg spun around in the air, spraying blood. The steam hit by the blood dispersed.
Through the gaping steam, a shapeshifter in battlesuit was visible. She held an axe in each hand, holding the one in her left hand to block the manticore’s charge, and was just about to swing the one in her right hand sideways.
Huang.
The axe slashed at the manticore’s neck. The manticore dodged, lurching backwards as if showing off the flexibility of its neck muscles.
With a bang, the axe grazed the bastard’s nose.
At the same time, the bastard’s tail swished and came in, leaving a swishing sound.
Marie, who had cut through the steam and joined the battlefield, cut off the tail with one more swing of her right axe.
He uses the axe he just swung horizontally to defend himself. His reaction speed is amazing.
The few people present only saw the result of the axe flashing and then cutting off its tail as if it was teleporting.
The manticore’s feet, teeth, tail, wings, and more than anything else, are capable of chopping things faster.
Green mucus spurted from the tip of the tail that had been thrown out.
Immediately after the tail was cut off, Marie’s axe moved without stopping.
Soon the axe-slash and the slash made a circle in front of her, and without waiting, the circle reached the manticore’s body.
Number 20 Manticore.
One of the most difficult invaders to deal with.
It’s a sudden death.
In an instant, it turns into a lump of meat.
“backwards.”
As Marie spoke, shaking her axe, the group finally turned around and joined the ranks.
“… … This is so f*cking cool. I’m sick of it.”
One of my colleagues who was watching this muttered.
The bright eyes and nose visible beyond the combat helmet visor.
Although not as handsome as an immortal, his facial features are cute enough to be called cute.
But that hand and axe can’t be called cute.
Cuteness and aggression.
The two contrasting images strangely harmonized to create a unique atmosphere. It was like an atmosphere that came out of a bishoujo game.
It is not entirely their fault that some of those who were present later became followers.
Ting.
Park Mari, who struck with two crossed axes, moved again.
They were all over the battlefield.
These are the ones who make NS truly out of standard.
Gwangik had no intention of letting anyone die in today’s battle.
“f*ck, I almost died, did you even notice that?”
The surviving employee said, holding onto his trembling legs.
“Don’t you see this?”
My colleague clicked his tongue.
It is an undeniable question.
In fact, the image of breaking through the steam was engraved in my brain.
“No, come in. I’m really a little tired.”
The surviving employee chuckled as he spoke.
That wasn’t a joke.
It seemed like the smell of urine was coming from somewhere.
The wide open path is quickly blocked by a horde of invaders.
As the lower level invaders were defeated, the higher level invaders began to appear.
I’ve seen Wheel Knight and Living Armor so often that I’m starting to like them.
Then, difficult guys started to appear here and there.
First the manticore, then the unicorn.
The symbol of purity, why is something dangling between its legs?
If you get caught, it won’t end well for you.
It’s called a unicorn because of its appearance, but nothing it does is worthy of the name unicorn.
This invader is a creature that plants parasites on other living beings. It does so with tentacles hanging between its legs.
He’s the kind of guy you don’t want to even brush against.
To sum up, it is a monster in the form of a commander who leads subordinates.
There is a bunch of deformed creatures surrounding the unicorn.
And as soon as I came out, I was greeted by a shower of bullets and said goodbye to everyone.
The manticore came out and squeaked.
Kinam is faithfully fulfilling his role as a radar.
Kim Geun-yuk and Jeong Ji-jik were also seen for a moment.
A place that seems dangerous.
Where difficult invaders appear.
We only focus on blocking those places.
Then no one would die. I believed that could happen.
If this were a game, the mission difficulty would be extremely high.
This is a mission that makes me want to grab the kid who created the game by the scruff of the neck.
This isn’t that difficult.
“It won’t be difficult.”
Panda brother also said that.
We made it happen.
Those who fight are armed to the max with guns and swords.
However, those in danger are saved by special forces.
To divide the concept, the beggars are special forces, a face you see every day.
My older brother, my mom, two private tutors, etc.
Ahead of the open road like Moses’ miracle.
Everything is going well.
Now all we have to do is build the base and finish it.
Even though things are going well for me.
My heart was pounding.
My heart is beating so fast it feels like I’m jumping rope. It’s something beyond the sixth sense, a gut feeling that’s closer to a premonition.
Something is coming from beyond this road.
It was a moment when I looked into the distance with that thought in mind.
Beyond the open road, a golden light rose.
The light stretching upward was spectacular to behold.
“Ku …
A scream that burst with light.
It is a howling filled with powerful murderous intent and life-threatening spirit.
The scream coolly pierced one side of my heart.
It’s so sad. My heart is responding. My hair stands on end.
The judgment was made based on howling alone.
It’s a named-class monster.
Perhaps he was the king guarding the Lost North, which had been neglected for so long. My premonition told me so.
