8. Red Alert Orbital Bombing Alert (1)
8. Red Alert Orbital Bombing Alert (1) – All roads lead to the city
“Okay.”
Yongjeoksan got up from his seat, holding his aching back. It seemed like he had sprained his back when he fell to the floor earlier. He looked around and sighed.
“It’s not as easy as I thought.”
Hundreds of droid corpses were scattered on the ground, shattered into pieces. Even for someone who had reached the ranks of a master, it was by no means easy to face hundreds of reinforced steel corpses mixed with bloodless corpses. Although he won without much damage, he was still human, so it was inevitable that his stamina would run out.
However, thanks to the fact that he had been destroying and attacking the fortress for almost a full day, he was able to reach the innermost part of the underground fortress before he knew it.
‘If it’s located at this level, it’s likely right under the city.’
Although it was impossible to tell from an outside survey because the part that came out above ground was far away, the innermost part of the underground fortress was, contrary to expectations, located entirely beneath the city’s floor.
This suggests that they had been preparing in collusion with the planet’s administrator for at least several decades, and that they had been working with Cheolshiguiong even before Major General Bernardo retired and became a warlord.
‘Not good.’
Come to think of it, there were a few zombies who were using weapons that looked similar to military weapons. And that was definitely not a good sign.
Since ancient times, there has not been a single case where the martial arts world crossed the line of martial arts and became entangled with the government, leaving a clean slate. Could there have been another reason why the Five Great Families and their subordinate families, who once enjoyed their heyday by suppressing even the power of the Gupailbang and the Cheonmasingyo, were torn apart?
Now, it is not simply a matter of rescuing Hwarin. If only the bloody valley and the Sapa Murim had exploded, it would be someone else’s story that would not matter, but if anti-murim sentiments were to grow within the human government, there would be nothing good for the Jeongpa Murim either, so it is a problem.
The best scenario for now is to capture the Iron Guard Richel and finish them off quickly before General Bernardo can fully step forward. However, how on earth should he deal with that immortal monster that seems to be resurrected even if he is killed? As a celestial warrior, he couldn’t think of a good method.
‘But if it’s this great sword······.’
As he opened the large gate in front of him, Yongjeoksan thought of a man.
Since ancient times, it has been the law that the affairs of the martial arts world must be resolved by the martial arts world. If he has stepped beyond the realm of the present world where he is standing, and perhaps has entered the world of life and death as told in legends, wouldn’t there be some way?
But before that, it would be best to rescue the poor disciple of the volcano from the hands of that evil madou. Yongjeoksan straightened his back as he looked at the two dolls in the distance of the huge hollow.
The woman with pale skin reminiscent of a vampire is clearly the owner of the Blood Valley, and the black shadow in the shape of a person standing quietly next to her is clearly a shaman she controls.
Just looking at it, it seemed different from the zombie fights I had experienced so far. At least, it seemed like it would be harder than the fights I had had so far, if not less.
“After tiring out the enemy, strike with full force. Should I say it’s orthodox?”
I don’t intend to call him a coward. In the ruthless world of martial arts, his martial arts skills were not so poor that he could cry like that.
The sword is heavier than usual, the soles of his feet don’t leave the floor as if they were magnets, and his breathing is extremely rough.
But he fixed his sword. If he could win only by fighting in the best condition, how could he be called a warrior? Doing one’s best and achieving victory even in unfavorable situations was the essence of martial arts.
He said to the enemy he could see in the distance, lightly swinging his sword as the volcano’s inspector.
“I am Yongjeoksan of the Great Volcano Sect. What is your name?”
Aaaa …
“What is this?”
Suddenly, the sound of a siren began to ring throughout the city, causing Serin to frown. While disguised, she was killing time in the spaceship’s passenger cabin, gathering information that might be helpful, but something was going wrong.
“It’s a sandstorm warning. I guess we should close up shop and take refuge in a shelter.”
The mobile food truck attendant who was frying spicy Jjapaghetti next to Serin’s spaceship cockpit while riding an anti-gravity food truck clicked his tongue. Serin asked.
“A sandstorm? How bad must it be for you to evacuate?”
“That’s the case with all garbage dump planets. They’re so large that even a sandstorm is dangerous, but with all the waste flying around, it’s dangerous to be outside. I think it was two years ago when that damn sandstorm destroyed the city’s defenses and it was chaos.”
“It’s true. Looking at the records, it looks really dangerous.”
If you’re unlucky, the sandstorm is so strong that it could wipe out the entire city. Sunja’s face turned a little serious as she connected to the planetary network and looked up previous records. The clerk who was arranging the food trucks tilted his head.
“But it’s a bit strange. Sandstorms usually don’t come at this time of year······.”
“okay?”
“Yes. I’m a native here, so I know. Sandstorms are caused by the orbits of planets and satellites, so they usually occur in a yearly cycle. Do you have such an abnormal climate?”
Hmm. Seolyeong’s eyes narrowed slightly at the clerk’s words.
“Anyway, guests, please evacuate to the outsider shelter. A sandstorm will come in two hours. It’s usually okay because there’s a city defense shield, but the shield bursts two or three times every ten years. If you don’t go to the shelter and act like a guest, you’ll die when the shield bursts.”
The clerk who added a few words to Seol-ryeong and Sun-ja left the place in a food truck that had finished cleaning up. After seeing the back of the food truck and the travelers of the planetary port busily escaping to the shelter, Seol-ryeong turned her head toward Sun-ja.
“what do you think about it?”
“If the orbit is the cause, the possibility of sandstorms being created by abnormal climate is slim. Looking at past records, there are no records of sandstorms occurring abnormally on this planet.”
“It’s highly likely that it’s a joke.”
The ruler of this planet, former Major General Bernardo, is likely to have a close relationship with the Iron-Seagull Richel. Why would he evacuate the city’s residents with a sandstorm warning at this time, without any warning? Given the circumstances, it was an action that seemed too blatant.
“Still, it’s not a bad situation since even the guards have evacuated. I should take this opportunity to search this city as well.”
“······If a sandstorm really is happening, it would be better to evacuate.”
“If you’re paid, you have to pay for it. Among the missions we’re given is searching for Kwak Hwa-rin and gathering information. Even if a sandstorm comes, the chances of the city’s defenses being breached are low.”
Seolyeong snickered as she lightly stroked the head of Sunja, who was looking up at her with concern. Considering the situation of the two people who were obviously struggling against an enemy outside and the ample advance payment she had received, this was not even dangerous. Seolyeong fixed the super vibration blade on her waist.
“Considering the relationship between the old woman and the Bernardo commander, and the scale of the underground fortress that Mr. Kkot-yong is attacking, there’s a high possibility that it’s connected to this city in some way. Let’s try to find an entrance to the fortress from this side.”
We know that he is attacking the fortress through Yongjeoksan’s message transmitted through secret lines. When we gather the updated information through him, it is not unlikely that this city and the underground fortress of Cheolsiguiong are connected. If Cheolsiguiong Richel wants to escape this planet, he will most likely show up here.
To be honest, I was scared. Wasn’t she already thoroughly defeated by Cheolshigwiong and his bloodthirsty gangster? Thinking back to Madou’s eyes that regarded people as experimental materials rather than people, my right arm, which had just recently undergone suturing, felt a tingling sensation.
But she shook her head with all her might to shake off her fear. There was no need to risk her life. Her role was sufficient, simply observing his movements without confronting him head-on.
Sunja, who was looking at her with concern, said.
“I’ll follow you too.”
“Is it okay if I’m not a combat soldier?”
“How are you going to break through the security system without me? And don’t worry, I’ll bring my own defensive shield.”
Well, that’s true. Serin scratched her head as she watched Sunja pack her equipment. Of course, this wasn’t Sunja’s first time going into the field. Even though she was a non-combatant, considering her hacking ability, she was worth taking along.
“By the way, why is there no news from this gentleman?”
Seolyeong narrowed her eyes as she recalled Mokjin, the last of the group with whom she had not heard a single word. She had clearly heard that he was making his way down from Yongjeoksan, but why had there been no news until now? Since the nature of the infiltration mission meant that she could not make any communication from this side, she waited quietly, but there was no sign of any contact.
“The day is almost over, what on earth are you doing?”
He may have forgotten the existence of the secret communication device, or he may have destroyed it during the descent. No, it was also possible that he had completely forgotten how to use the secret communication device. Wasn’t he a gentleman who had been learning how to use a communication terminal with difficulty? Of course, the most likely possibility was communication jamming.
But the funny thing is, even then, I didn’t have any particular concerns about Mokjin’s health. Maybe it was because of the transcendent inaction he had shown so far, but no matter how I thought about it, I couldn’t imagine the sight of the man dying or getting hurt.
So, Serin shrugged her shoulders and erased her worries about him from her mind.
“······I guess I’ll do well, foolishly.”
Let’s go to the most conspicuous place first. Seolyeong pulled down her black visor over her face as she looked at the tall, huge castle-like building located in the center of the city.
Swish!

A hand suddenly emerged from the desolate ruins of a hill covered in dirt, sand, and the remains of droid corpses.
The hand waved in the air for a moment as if searching for something, but then suddenly stopped moving when it felt the wind mixed with sand.
Phew!
In an instant, a pile of sand scattered in all directions as if a landmine had exploded. In the center of it all, a man slowly got up.
“bloke.”
The one who emerged from the ground covered in sand was none other than Mokjin. He gritted his teeth without hiding his intense anger. I thought he was an old man who had left humanity and entered the path of the inhuman, but I never thought he would resort to such petty tricks and go on a rampage.
“You really don’t want to live······!”
But what he was revealing was an intense emotion of anger on a different level than anything he had felt before.
Just using cowardly tactics could not have made him so angry when he was already in a state of immobility. What really made him angry was that Cheolsiguiong’s actions were self-destructive.
Mokjin hates self-destruction, or more precisely, the explosion of gunpowder exploding everywhere and the loud noise of a collapsing structure. It was because it forcibly pulled out the most painful memory from his eventful life.
Mok-jin’s face distorted in pain as he recalled the sight of his friend desperately running towards the entrance of the cave while carrying his poisoned body on his back, ignoring the young Mok-jin’s words to live on his own, as the cave collapsed with a loud noise due to someone’s trap.
He eventually survived, but his friend did not. He gave up his life, which he could have saved alone, to save his friend. His friend, who was called the best talent to lead Sega, who valued his family and clan more than anyone else, died instead of Mokjin.
Later, after obtaining the martial arts of Cheonwicheon, he made all those who had plotted at that time into guests who would never return, but even so, the memory of that time remained as a great scar.
Since then, Mokjin has not spared anyone who reminds him of his friend’s death.
His tenacity was so great that he tracked down and killed not only the cowards of the Jeongpa who had dug traps by burying wall bombs on the cliffs on both sides of the valley, saying they were going to catch Cheonma, but also the assassins of Salmak who had turned their own base into a trap. Even though people pointed fingers at him, saying he was a follower of the Demonic Cult, he was terrifyingly cold-blooded in that regard.
But now, the person who brought back those past memories has appeared again.
“Phew······.”
Mokjin let out a long, sandy sigh. The murderous spirit that had been running wild in all directions like a mad wild horse seemed to have subsided a little.
But it wasn’t that he suppressed his will to live, it was just that he kept it from being revealed. A blue ripple of natural flowers gleamed in Mokjin’s eyes.
Mokjin finally looked in the direction Richel had run away to. With his internal energy raised and his eyes gaining superhuman eyesight, he could see the shape of a city in the distance.
“If you want to hide, try hiding.”
If you hide in the city, the city itself will be erased from the world. Mokjin flew towards the city.
information)
Yongjeoksan fought bravely against the attack of the droid corps, similar to Mokjin. The difference in their numbers was on a different level, but in Yongjeoksan’s case, they also received support from the fortress defense system.
Major Bernardo knew from his days on the force that he would not be promoted and would have to retire, so he joined hands with Richel.
Until a dozen years ago, the Five Great Families were a powerful force in the martial arts world, boasting a power greater than that of the Nine-Tailed Families, but they were completely destroyed by the human government after they mistakenly stepped into the realm of the Inviolable Forces.
Although Sa-hyeol-gok-ju and the custom-made zombie she had made with all her heart had a good strategy and put up a good fight, they were unable to defeat Yong-jeok-san.
Anti-gravity food trucks are a type of mobile food cart that can be frequently seen at planetary ports. They usually go near the cockpits of spaceships undergoing maintenance or refueling and sell food and snacks. In principle, alcohol cannot be sold, but in cases where the ship is docked for more than a day, they often secretly sell it for a small fee.
Mala Chapaghetti is a fundamental fast food with a history and tradition that has lasted for a thousand years, boasting over thirty flavors. Among them, Mala Chapaghetti is a popular item that is especially popular among Koreans, Chinese, and Red Dragons due to its unique spicy flavor.
The storms on the junk planet are extremely dangerous, as they are not only filled with rocks and stones, but also with all sorts of trash and debris. The chances of an average human surviving a sandstorm on the junk planet without any equipment are less than 5%.
The sandstorm warning is false.
Among the general public, one of Yongjeoksan’s nicknames is “Kkot-yong-i Uncle.” This is because he is a dragon who makes plum blossoms bloom. It is a nickname often given to children, and so Yongjeoksan also accepts it willingly. When Seolyeong was a little girl, she also liked it when Kkot-yong-i Uncle appeared on TV.
Sunja sometimes goes on field work with Seolyeong. This usually involves hacking work.
The self-destruction of the underground bunker lasted approximately an hour.
Mokjin was very, very angry.
Mok Jin had a very close friend. He was a great person with both talent and character that were unrivaled among the later indexes, and his martial arts were by no means weak, but he died after saving Mok Jin due to conspiracy and betrayal. Mok Jin was also seriously injured at the time to the point of losing his martial arts, but after consulting with the god, he gained martial arts skills that were greater than before and successfully took revenge on the masterminds of the conspiracy and betrayal.
Even during his past days of dominance in the martial arts world, Mokjin never touched the family of a friend to whom he owed his life. Although he did mention a life debt to Seryeong and his party, if in reality it was something he said after calculating his own gains, then the incident at that time was truly a life debt.
The destination of the three people, Yongjeoksan, Seolyeong, and Mokjin, is the center of the city.
