Episode 278
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Kaang!!
[Square strike is activated.]
[ You have successfully created the material . ]
[You have obtained the Fragment of the Suppressive Chain of Obsession (A).]
It was a success.
Suho immediately checked the item information.
[ Fragment of the chain of oppression obsession ]
– Grade: A
# The determination of obsession with the oppressive chain.
# Chainmail has been carrying out his mission for a very long time, under orders to tie up the target, and it has become more than a sense of responsibility, it has become an obsession that drives him.
# When used, there is a very low chance of inflicting a restraint effect whenever damage is inflicted on the opponent.
Suho smiled when he saw the notification.
‘Okay, you can just raise it slowly like this.’
‘Risky’ became ‘very low probability’.
So the next step would probably have a ‘low’ probability.
Suho put the newly acquired piece of obsession into the socket and went out after completing the remaining tasks.
Then I summoned the Immortal and was finally able to head to Gaeseong.
Doo doo doo doo-
As you drive along the main road past Sonha Station, the Gaeseong IC begins to come into view.
And from there, the full-fledged gate party of Gaeseong would begin.
‘First of all, there is an interchange gate.’
But the purpose of the guard was not the interchange gate.
Because, as far as Suho could remember, the interchange gate was just an ordinary, normal monster gate.
Therefore, the gate that Suho was aiming for was in the next location.
Suho drove the Bulgasal into the Gaeseong IC where they were mating.
As expected, at the interchange, a large gate stood like a general, and perhaps because the portal had been abandoned for a long time, the entire surrounding area was swarming with monsters.
Suho saw monsters occupying the road.
– Yellow Devil Lv.182
– Yellow Devil Lv.181
– Yellow Devil Lv.184
… …
Devils.
And the color is all yellow.
But, color aside, there were more of them than I expected.
It feels like there are so many, it’s almost overflowing?
That was when.
“Crunch?”
“Krrrr?”
“Kirurur?”
The demons who sensed Suho’s life force all looked at him.
Suho got out of the road, turned to the side and headed towards the target.
But the roads and sides are all full of demons.
I thought I could break through by moving the shadow of the ghost window, but that was only a temporary measure.
‘I guess I’ll have to do some cleaning eventually.’
Suho used his skills right away.
[ The blessing is activated. ]
[Blood Weapon is activated.]
[Holy Enchantment is activated.]
This is enough for a buff.
Because they are not something Suho can deal with.
Suho raised his blood sword and activated his last skill.
[ Military technique is activated . ]
The skill used is military tactics.
As the martial arts were activated, a swarm of clone soldiers wielding blood swords engulfed in divine light began to pour out.
“Go and kill him.”
The clone soldiers who followed Suho’s will begin to rush towards the demons.
“Kaaaah!!”
Asura… no, even the asuras of hell are beginning to unfold upon the demons.
*
Every time the demons attacked, I sprayed the clone soldiers for a long time.
Suho was finally able to reach his destination.
Ignoring the interchange gate, the place Suho arrived was none other than ‘Gyeongdeokgung Palace’.
There are many old historical sites and relics in North Korea, such as Gyeongdeokgung Palace.
Because development was relatively slow, cultural heritage preservation was done well.
Of course, after the cataclysm, many of the historic sites were destroyed, but still, there were far more historic sites left in present-day North Korea than when I first began to conquer North Korea in my previous life.
However, that does not mean that Gyeongdeokgung Palace was in good condition.
Although North Korea has made considerable efforts to restore the palace, Gyeongdeokgung Palace has been burned down and destroyed for various reasons, and now only an empty lot remains.

‘Of course, the preservation of the ancient site itself doesn’t have much meaning to me.’
What’s important to Suho is not the ruins themselves, but the special gates located within them.
That’s understandable, since special gates themed on cultural heritage sites and other unique places in the region are often opened.
Suho stood in front of the Gyeongdeokgung gate, swatting away the attacking demons.
It was built on the site of Gyeongdeokgung Palace and stood alone, boasting a majestic appearance. Suho entered it without hesitation.
[ Enter the gate . ]
[ Loading gate information ]
[ Lake of Snakes ]
– Entry conditions: Level 150 or higher.
– Maximum number of people allowed: 5.
Simple entry requirements.
But that didn’t really matter.
Because Suho knew very well what kind of place this was.
[ Enter the Lake of Snakes . ]
Tsupat!
The view changes with a system notification.
When Suho’s vision came back into focus, the first thing he heard was none other than the sound of water.
Drool drool drool-
Suho was standing in a forest.
The sound of water could still be heard, and Suho followed the sound toward where it was coming from.
That was when.
Ss …
Ss …
Ss …
A faint sound of squeaking on the floor.
It could be heard from the ground, from the trees, or from between the rocks.
I didn’t mishear.
Suho’s five senses were so sensitive that they were on the level of the average player’s wanted.
And Suho knew what this meant.
It was the sound of snakes moving.
That’s understandable, since the name of this place was ‘Lake of Snakes’.
But the snakes did not show themselves in front of Suho easily.
Just circling around Suho.
It’s about seizing the opportunity.
But Suho didn’t really care.
There was no reason for me to go there first unless you came at me first.
After walking for a while, Suho finally arrived at the place where he could hear the sound of water.
It was by the stream.
A stream with water flowing from above.
Suho approached the stream and looked into it.
At that moment.
Tsupat!
Something popped out of the stream.
It was a snake.
The snake that emerged opened its mouth as wide as Suho’s head and attacked Suho.
But Suho wasn’t the least bit flustered and grabbed the guy’s balls.
“Choo-ah! Choo-ah!”
A snake flapping its wings while caught by its neck.
But the guy’s condition was a little strange.
– ??? Lv.???
It was clearly a name card that should have been written above his head, but although there was a name card form, the guy’s name and level were not written on it.
Suho smiled faintly when he saw that.
‘There really is no name or level.’
At that moment, the snake, whose neck had been caught, wrapped its long body tightly around Suho’s arm as if it thought it couldn’t go on like this.
It was a characteristic of snakes.
If they can’t bite, they hunt by wrapping their bodies around their prey, breaking its bones or suffocating it to death.
But the guy wasn’t strong enough to do that.
Suho grabbed the snake’s head and twisted it like he was squeezing laundry.
Creak!
[ You have defeated ??? ]
A notification will pop up saying that it has been disposed of.
And that was the beginning.
“Saaaah!”
“Teaaaa!”
“Ssssss!”
The moment he killed one snake, all the snakes hiding in the stream began to reveal themselves all at once and breathe life into Suho.
– ??? Lv.???
– ??? Lv.???
– ??? Lv.???
… …
And the guys were in the same condition as the snakes they had just killed.
It wasn’t that surprising.
Because Suho knew what kind of gate the Lake of Snakes was and entered it.
That was when.
[ A quest occurs. ]
[ Lake of the Imoogi ]
– Rating: S
# This place was originally a lake of Imoogi.
# However, there were far more snakes than dragons, so it was called the lake of snakes.
# There is no difference between a snake and a dragon, and the dragon is weak.
# Eliminate the lake’s intruders and return the lake to its true owners.
A quest has occurred.
The name is Lake of the Imoogi.
Suho’s eyes sparkled when he saw it.
‘It’s finally out.’
Suho knows about the Imoogi Lake quest.
Because, like the ‘Sealed Iron Horse’ gate, the ‘Lake of Snakes’ was also a concept gate whose strategy was discovered almost at the end of the conquest of North Korea.
‘There are many lakes of snakes in North Korea. And the players of the previous life regretted missing the lakes of snakes like the sealed iron horse.’
So, in conclusion, no one knows what can be obtained through the Lake of Snakes, like the sealed iron horse.
However, the difference with the Sealed Iron Horse is that while the Sealed Iron Horse’s hidden condition was revealed when the player broke the Iron Horse’s sealed chain, in the case of the Lake of Snakes, the hidden condition was revealed to the players from the beginning by giving them a quest.
However, the reason why players were only able to conquer the Lake of Snakes at the very end was because, as the quest stated, it was difficult to distinguish between the snakes and the Imugi.
Of course, a strategy was discovered at the last minute.
‘That’s the exact location of the scale.’
The snake is a being that cannot become a dragon.
Although it looked like a snake and was treated similarly, it was not strictly a snake, as it could not become a dragon.
If we have to be specific, it’s something close to a dragon.
That is why the snake also had a reverse scale like a dragon.
Players discovered this fact near the end of the conquest of North Korea.
And Suho had the skill to distinguish between reverse scales.
[Magic detection is activated.]
That’s right, magic detection.
As soon as the magic detection was activated, the presence of snakes lying flat on their stomachs could be felt in all directions starting from where Suho was standing.
At the same time, the guys’ clearly engraved weaknesses were revealed.
The snakes’ weak point was none other than between their eyebrows.
Because snakes can move for a while even after their necks are cut off, piercing the brain through the forehead could have ensured certain death.
Suho used his magical power detection and looked around.
Currently, Suho’s vision was covered with three colors.
The gray world without magic, the purple world that distinguishes magical beings, and even among the magical purple beings, the most vulnerable and the ones with the most magic are marked in yellow.
Suho’s eyes move quickly.
Fortunately, no other colored beings were seen in any other locations among them.
For example, the real owner of the lake, the snake.
It can’t be helped.
This place is occupied by intruders called snakes, so the real owner of the lake is probably hiding somewhere here, away from the snakes’ eyes.
In simple terms, it means that you can cause as much trouble as you want for a while.
That was when.
“Saaaaah!!”
A brave snake sticks its head into the guardian’s mouth.
Suho didn’t move.
Instead, one skill was activated.
It’s a new technology I’ve only recently gotten my hands on, and I’ve been wanting to test its power for some time now, so this was a good time.
[ Heat storm is activated . ]
Hwa hwa hwa hwa hwa!!
The skill used is Heat Storm.
It was the exact technique that Yong Gwang-ryong used.
Suho then activated the blessing.
Then, based on Suho’s inflated magical power, the heat storm grew stronger and stronger, and an unexpected high-temperature disaster began to strike the calm lake.
“Kiaaaaaaa!!”
[ You have defeated ??? ]
[ You have defeated ??? ]
[ You have defeated ??? ]
[ You have defeated ??? ]
… …
The intruders begin to be slaughtered.
