6. Iron Zombie Necromancer (3)
6. Iron Zombie Necromancer (3) – Sunja is praying
The feeling of seeing his right arm floating in the air while holding the sword was an indescribable and strange feeling. Despite the pain that made it seem like he would not have died from shock, Serin’s consciousness, awakened by the booster, continued to think.
Suddenly, I saw the bloodthirsty monster with one leg raised high. There wasn’t even a single drop of blood on the sharp blade attached to the monster’s heel.
As the right arm that had been floating in the air fell to the ground, a fountain of blood belatedly gushed out from the severed right arm. A silent scream echoed through the back alley.
“Ugh!”
The bloodthirsty demon who had already turned back forcibly made her kneel. Se-ryeong was struggling between her fading consciousness and the burning pain that felt like she was being burned by fire, so she couldn’t even fight back.
“It was destined to end up like this.”
Cheolsiguiong slowly walked towards her and wiggled his fingers. Mokhyeolgangsi roughly grabbed Seolyeong’s hair and lifted her up. Seolyeong’s eyes met the old man’s. The eyes were not even focused properly due to the immense pain, but there was still an undying flame burning inside them.
But there was nothing she could do. Even if she hadn’t been subdued by the Bloodthirsty Swordsman, what could a swordsman with a severed arm do?
“Don’t blame the old man. It is the natural order of the world for the weak to be eaten by the strong.”
When Cheolsiguiong placed his glowing blue hand on Seryeong’s right arm, the bleeding slowly stopped. He had used a large number of nanomachines to stop the bleeding so that she wouldn’t die. Of course, she wouldn’t be grateful.
“I’m going to die······, throw it away······!”
“The poison is quite powerful, but without the power to match, it is nothing more than a small creature struggling. Do you think the old man has dealt with a small body like you once or twice?”
Cheolsiguiong looked down at her with indifferent eyes and opened his mouth. In his hand was an unidentifiable injection ampoule.
“no······!”
The bloody scorpion pressed down on her body as she struggled to avoid the needle tip. The needle of the injection ampoule slowly dug into her neck. Fear appeared in Serin’s eyes, who had not lost her fighting spirit even in the face of the steel scorpions.
Cheolsiguiong said with a calm face as he injected a syringe into Seolyeong’s neck.
“I’ll just take a short nap and when I wake up, everything will be over.”
You will no longer be able to move your body by your own will, though. Her mind began to sink as the old man spoke.
‘f*ck.’
It can’t end like this. That was the last thought that came to Seolyeong’s mind.
“Hehe, I really like this body type.”
Cheolshiguiong smiled as he looked down at the unconscious Seryeong. He is a drone that has done this well in such poor conditions. If you attach a top-of-the-line calculation device and make it a host ginger city, you will be able to create a high-end product that can operate hundreds of steel cities.
If he just collects a little more, the completion of the great undertaking is just around the corner. The corners of his mouth naturally curled at the thought of being rewarded for his thirty years of seclusion.
But before that, I should pull out what I can. Cheolsiguiong, who picked up Seolyeong’s severed arm, put his hand to his ear and communicated with his waiting subordinates.
– Beep.
“Yes, Nobuinira. The rat bastard was taken care of well. I’ll send you the bio-code now, so you can investigate the background… What? You came back again?”
Cheolsiguiong raised his eyebrows at the unexpected news he heard from the communications.
The spaceship of the spirit that was hovering over the city disappeared quickly as soon as the communication jamming was applied. I thought that it had cut off its tail out of fear of being discovered, but I never thought it would return. He looked up at the sky at the unexpected action. Indeed, it seemed that a spaceship with a low wing was visible high in the sky.
“Hehe, I see you’ve called in reinforcements. Don’t cause unnecessary trouble and let them anchor in the harbor. Isn’t this a good opportunity to extract information?”
It was a small spaceship that couldn’t even carry ten people anyway. Unless an absolute master was with him, he couldn’t be a match for his dozens of steel swords. No, even if an absolute master had come, he was confident that he could take out at least one of his own bodies.
If it was a wide-area attack that completely devastated the surrounding area, then that would be understandable, but in a city like this, you can’t do a wide-area attack while risking civilian casualties, so you just buy time with the zombies and escape.
I don’t know about anything else, but I am confident in my survival. It was not luck but skill that allowed me to survive that fierce battle.
But the information he heard through the communication was completely different from what he thought.
“······What are you talking about? You’re not coming into the port? What can you do up there······?!”
Creepy. Cheolsiguiong froze up as he spoke.
A creepy sensation suddenly swept over his body. It was clearly someone’s aura spreading through the air.
And if he wasn’t mistaken, the source of that feeling was definitely the spaceship high in the sky.
“no way.”
A wave of energy that spreads thousands of meters above the ground and covers the entire city? It was an unrealistic story. Even if we put aside the enormous amount of internal energy required to spread energy, how could a human brain control such a large amount of information? Even with the assistance of a computer, it was an impossible story.
Cheolsiguiong looked up at the spaceship with an expression of disbelief. The spaceship was visible through the zoomed-in function. And then the hatch at the back of the spaceship opened, revealing a man.
Gulp. Cheolsigui swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
He could see the figure of a man staring straight at him, his eyes shining with a sharp glare.
‘That’s dangerous.’
The nearly eighty years since Kang Ho-chul-do were not lived in vain. The old man, who was nearly a hundred years old, instinctively felt that the man was a dangerous being who should not be messed with.
The man leapt down the spaceship, or rather towards himself. His gaze was still fixed on Cheolshiguiong.
A fierce warning sound from his sixth sense. And he wasn’t foolish enough to not trust his own instincts. He opened the communication and gave a command in a hard voice.
“······Spread red lights. Stop all activities and hide.”
The moment he sensed danger, he moved quickly. As Cheolshigwiong snapped his fingers, two blood-stained jiangshi and five reinforced steel jiangshi stood beside him. And then a dozen or so steel jiangshi followed. These were all the jiangshi he could command on this planet at the moment.
‘If you face that, you’re doomed.’
He had seven jiangshi under his direct control, and a total of thirteen jiangshi that he could control through the Ginger Shi. It was a powerful force that could easily destroy a decent sect, but Cheolshigwiong knew that this was not enough to stop that man.
‘But it’ll be enough to buy some time.’
“Intercept him. Stop him at all costs.”
He gave orders to the Ginger City that controlled the Steel City, and after taking control of one of the Steel City, he had the unconscious Seol-ryung embraced him. He intended to escape while the Jiang City was buying time. Even if he was an absolute master, he would be able to buy enough time to escape.
Vain pride is of no help in survival. He turned around without hesitation.
But that was just an illusion.
‘already?!’
An eerie sensation, as if a sword was pointed at his heart. Before Cheolsigui could even grasp the situation, he twisted his body with all his might.
Huh. A single ray of light pierced through his shoulder. At the same time, dozens of ray of light shot down between the steel beams.
“Ugh!”
Cheolsiguiong rolled on the floor with a scream. A man’s voice as cold as ice was heard towards him.
“Where are you going?”
Cheolsiguiong looked toward the direction where the voice came from with an expression as if he had seen a ghost, forgetting even his pain. There was a man, Lee Mokjin. He spoke in a restrained, but gentle voice filled with anger.
“Did you think you could escape even after being struck by the aura of the main deity?”
‘When on earth did I travel this far······!’
Cheolsiguiong bit his lip. No matter what he did, he lost most of the steel city and three reinforced steel cities in an instant. The problem was that even this was not the man’s strength.
If you were to face the legendary sword of the heart, would this be the case? The sharp murderous intent that made your skin tingle was enough to take away even the will to fight from Cheolsiguiong.

Instead of opening his mouth rashly, he chose a more certain method. Without even thinking about his opponent’s strength or self-esteem, he immediately ordered all the jiangshi to rush at Mokjin and ran away with all his might. At least in the current situation, there was no better decision than that.
Even so, the time that could be gained was only a moment.
“Do you think you can stop it with a toy like this?”
With one swing of his hand covered in pitch-black energy, all the zombies were torn apart. Even the formidable defensive armor of the reinforced steel city, which could withstand even black energy, was no different from a sheet of paper in front of the compressed energy that had formed a shape.
– OMG!
“Nonsense.”
While the Steel Cities are buying time, the Reinforced Steel Cities attempt to self-destruct by causing their cores to go berserk, but Mok-jin, sensing ominousness, erases the core itself with his hand wrapped in steel energy, causing it to fail.
‘It’s beyond imagination.’
Cheolsiguiong ran away and broke out in a cold sweat. I expected him to be strong, but I didn’t expect the difference to be this big.
Even the reinforced steel city that he directly controls is torn apart without being able to do anything. The reason is simple. He lacks the specs to even try to do something or seek an opportunity. I don’t know for sure, but at least he should be at the level of a silent steel city to at least pretend to do something.
It only took about five seconds for the remaining steel skeletons to be cleared away. Now, only two bloodless skeletons remained. Following the command of the iron skeleton ghost, the two bloodless skeletons stepped forward and blocked Mokjin’s path.
One had grotesquely large and sharp claws, and the other had a single-molecule cutter attached to its heel, which was used to cut off Serin’s arm.
Mokjin ran towards the blood-stained zombies and swung his hand that was wrapped in the same energy. However, his opponents were special products that moved differently from the other zombies.
Crunch.
“hmm?”
As the hand wrapped in the energy made contact with the hand of the blood-stained demon and stopped for the first time, Mokjin’s eyes twitched. Not only was it the first time it had reacted to his own attack, but it had also blocked the energy with an unknown ability for a machine.
The energy shield created by the core with a huge output was what blocked Mokjin’s strong energy. The energy shield compressed by the powerful output can even block strong energy. It was also an essential function for the Mok-hyeol Gang-shi, who was originally created with the intention of fighting against high-ranking experts.
‘It worked!’
Cheolsiguiong was secretly delighted.
Without missing that gap, another quick foot attack from the bloodless swordsman rushed towards Mok Jin’s neck. At the end of it was a single-molecule cutter that could cut through even the best swordsmen’s self-defense techniques. He thought that this time he could finally strike Mok Jin.
But he didn’t think about it.
The strength and speed of the man named Cheonma Imokjin are beyond his imagination.
“It’s surprising that it was blocked.”
As Mok-jin spoke, Mok-hyeol-gang-si’s feet stopped in front of his neck. Before he knew it, Mok-hyeol-gang-si’s ankles were blocked by Mok-jin’s right hand as if they had been there from the beginning, and he was unable to move forward.
No matter how fast Mokhyeol Gangsi is, can he compare to Mokjin’s speed that controls the fleeting moments of time? Mokjin, who had firmly grabbed Mokhyeol Gangsi’s feet, continued speaking while looking at Mokhyeol Gangsi who had blocked his energy this time.
“Just give it more strength.”
With a creepy crackling sound, Mokjin’s energy began to penetrate the energy shield. This was a different phenomenon from the one caused by the increased density of the energy. Cheolshiguiong’s face turned pale as he realized that this was simply a phenomenon caused by the immense power reminiscent of an industrial press.
Kwachang! Less than three seconds after applying full force, the energy shield shatters with a sound like metal breaking. At the same time, Mokjin’s hand grabs Mok-hyeol Gangsi’s hand and tears it off, and with his other hand, he smashes Mok-hyeol Gangsi’s leg.
Mokjin’s hand mercilessly trampled the two zombies without giving them a chance to even try to fight back. The time the two bloodthirsty zombies gained by completely destroying their heads and torsos was only about ten seconds.
Mok-jin saw Cheol-shi-gwi-ong moving away from him, moving between the buildings. As Mok-jin reached out his hand toward him, a black ray of light shot out from his sleeve like a flash.
“Shit.”
This time, there was no avoiding it. Cheolsiguiong looked down at the black thread of lightning that pierced his heart and cursed softly.
That was the end of it.
Black lightning wrapped around his body like a snake, tearing apart his body, and silence fell on the alley.
Now, all that remained in the room were the remains of Mokjin and Jiangshi. Mokjin approached Seolyeong, who had collapsed on the floor.
“······hmm?”
Mokjin’s footsteps as he approached Seolyeong suddenly stopped. He couldn’t feel the energy of Seolyeong that he knew.
As Mok-jin reached out to grab her, Se-ryeong’s figure disappeared like a goblin. In her place, all that remained was a small holographic device and an iron ball emitting an ominous red light. Before Mok-jin could process it, a bright red flash of light erupted ahead of him.
Kwaaaaang!
It was an unimaginably large explosion that came from such a small sphere. It was an explosion reminiscent of the wall bombs from the time Mokjin lived in the past.
That alone wouldn’t be enough to pierce Mokjin’s self-defense aura. However, it would suffice to obscure his vision for a moment. Mokjin walked out of the flames with a distorted face and no injuries.
A siren sounded from somewhere. Mokjin paid no attention and spread his energy again. From far away, he felt a familiar energy along with the spirit energy. It was definitely the energy of Cheolsiguiong, who had clearly died a little while ago.
The one who died at Mokjin’s hands a little while ago was a dummy for external activities, and the one he felt now was the real body, but he had no way of knowing.
However, Mokjin just passed it over, thinking it was just some strange future technology. Even in the past era he lived in, there were quite a few methods to hide one’s own death.
“The leftovers.”
Mokjin immediately flew towards the direction where he felt energy.
The place he arrived was a space station not too far away. Mok-jin, who had just arrived at the station, suddenly saw a steel city thrusting its body in front of him. Mok-jin’s hand, which was about to raise its hand to destroy the steel city, suddenly stopped.
“······You are taking someone who is dying as a hostage. You should know shame.”
What was in the hands of Steel City was Seol-yeong, unconscious, with her right arm cut off and an injection ampoule stuck in her neck. This time, it was not fake, but real. Through Steel City’s mouth, which was digging its nails into her neck, Steel City’s Gwi-ong spoke.
– I propose a deal.
Hostage? Mokjin put his hand back and stared at Cheolshi quietly. When Mokjin showed signs of listening to the conversation, Cheolshigui quickly continued.
– I’ll give this child back to you. It’s not dead yet, so if you take it, it won’t be hard to revive it.
“······.”
– But you have to wait a little while until I leave this planet. That’s the condition.
Cheolsiguiong had no intention of risking his life for a single body. That is why, as a last resort, he proposed a deal with Serin’s life as a condition.
If he could just get off this planet, he could escape the clutches of that monstrous, unidentified master. For him, whose life was of the utmost importance, that was enough.
After a while, Mokjin, who had been silent for a while, spoke.
“Didn’t I tell you?”
He saw the city of steel, or rather, the city of iron beyond. His voice was still filled with earnest murderous intent.
“You will die here.”
With those words, the head and hand of Steel City, which had been threatening Seolyeong’s neck, disappeared. It was a rapid series of strikes that Steel City didn’t even realize.
Taking a hostage in front of a master is an incredibly stupid thing to do, no matter how much time is wasted. Mok-jin picked up Se-ryeong from the collapsing steel mill.
“······hmm.”
Even at first glance, her condition was not good. Mok-jin frowned after seeing Se-ryeong’s condition. Even after first aid, her severed right arm was still gushing blood and her eyes were unfocused, as if she had been injected with some kind of medicine. Mok-jin quickly felt the acupoint and stopped the blood flowing from her severed arm.
Her face was pale as if she was going to die at any moment. Mok-jin knew better than anyone how to kill someone, but he didn’t know how to save them, so the best thing to do was to take her to the doctor as quickly as possible.
Could that vicious demon have even calculated this? He raised his inner energy and sharpened his vision, and he saw the figure of Cheolsiguiong crossing the runway in the distance. The spaceship with Sunja was on the other side. Mokjin narrowed his brows at the extremely petty trick.
“Do you want to live with such shame?”
Mokjin picked up the broken super vibration blade held by Seryeong’s severed right arm, broke off its sharp tip, and threw it towards Cheolsiguiong in the distance before flying towards the spaceship where Sunja was without any hesitation.
“What?!”
Cheolsiguiong, who was running towards his spaceship, twisted his body in shock when he saw a sword flying from behind him. It was an extremely fast and threatening sword throw, as expected from the last move of an unidentified absolute master. Cheolsiguiong’s face showed relief as he saw the sword narrowly avoiding his body.
But, it was a hasty misjudgment.
“Ugh!”
The sword suddenly changed direction and pierced his heart in a movement that defied the laws of physics. Cheolshiguiong’s body collapsed before the spaceship in front of him. A look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.
‘Winning swordsmanship······?’
That’s ridiculous. With that thought, Cheolsiguiong’s consciousness sank into the bottomless abyss.
Nanomachine Poisoning is also an excellent trauma treatment technique for emergency treatment purposes.
The ampoule that Cheolsi Gwiong injected into Seolyeong was a combination of narcotic tranquilizers and psychotropic drugs, which are harmful to the mind.
Host Ginger can control anywhere from a minimum of 10 to as many as several hundred zombies, depending on their size. It is usually more effective if they are male or female.
After the Battle of Jeongsa, Cheolsi Gwi-ong lived in seclusion for thirty years under the protection of Sa-hyeol-gok, building up his power.
The name of the bloodthirsty warrior who uses a single-molecule cutter as a weapon is Melanie, and the name of the bloodthirsty warrior who uses claws as a weapon is Milcia.
If you overclock the core of the Bloodless Sword, you can create a high-density energy shield that can momentarily block strong energy. Of course, you can destroy the shield itself with a stronger force like Mokjin, or pierce it with a higher-density strong energy.
Hostage-taking doesn’t work on a master.
Sunja is unable to properly understand the situation due to the jamming and is just stamping her feet while praying for Seolyeong’s safety.
Mokjin’s final blow is the Mok-eo-geom technique, which allows the sword to move anywhere visible to the eye during the Igi-eo-geom technique.
Cheolsiguiong died with a broken heart.
