Episode 151: White Horse Hill -1-
After getting enough rest, I headed to Cheorwon City.
Originally, it was Baekma Hill where a memorial hall was built.
It’s different in this world.
It is left almost abandoned.
There is no road access and the area is surrounded by barbed wire.
A large hologram that appears when you force yourself to get close.
[Access Denied]
[danger]
[A monster appears!]
It’s because of the monsters that are summoned every night when the full moon rises.
They usually disappear during the day, but sometimes a few remain.
Mostly level 3. Sometimes level 4.
It could kill ordinary people and even take down low-level superhumans.
[Master, be careful.]
“huh.”
The sun will set soon.
I parked the Red Cougar in a suitable spot and approached the White Horse Ridge.
Jump over the barbed wire and go inside.
An eerie magic was already floating around like vapor.
I sat in the center of Baekma Hill and waited for time to pass.
Late at night.
A moment when the whole world is plunged into silence and darkness falls.
It’s finally begun.
The ground shook as magical power caused a gust of wind.
[Divine Power][Holy Light][Divine Aura]
[Magic Soul][Sigurd’s Training Method][Emotion]
Select today’s trait.
All the monsters that appear in Baekma Goji are either undead or ghosts, so this is the best.
Since I opened up the divine power, I was thinking of making a higher-level trait for the paladin as well.
[Keuhehehe!]
[Ughhhh!]
[Snap, snap!]
[Kyaaaa!]
The sound of a ghostly voice resonates.
Ghosts come down from the sky dancing.
As the ground split open, skeletons and corpses crawled out.
A scene like a scene from a horror movie.
It was a bizarre and eerie sight, but I felt no emotion whatsoever.
I’ve experienced too much in this world for that.
Whew!
I threw Mjolnir absentmindedly.
Thunder crackles and crushes the monsters as it passes by.
After the lightning, a holy light spreads.
It’s a different look from when you simply strengthen your abilities through sensitivity.
Even a level 5 undead can be defeated with one hit.
But level 3 undead? Ghost?
There is no choice.
“It’s easy. It’s easy.”
A sight that looks like something being rubbed with an eraser.
I didn’t feel any tension.
There is no need to equip earbuds or use your sixth sense.
The prophet’s ring on the left index finger was shouting only the green light, only that there was nothing wrong.
‘It’s boring.’
Now I’m too strong to fight with that jerk.
I didn’t even want to stand.
I sat down roughly.
He repeatedly threw and retrieved Mjolnir by wiggling his right hand.
It was okay though.
If it seems dangerous, the Prophet’s Ring will warn you.
“Kwaaaaak!”
Finally, a level 4 monster appeared.
The Chinese army officially had no ranks.
But the monster that appeared now was obvious at first glance.
He was wearing a breastplate, not a simple military uniform, with the unit’s mark engraved magnificently on the breastplate, and he was holding a thick long sword in his right hand.
General Zombie.
He’s not a death knight, but he’s more of a corpse knight.
puck!

Well, it was just one shot for me.
I got up and retrieved the loot from the general zombie.
“You’re a general, so shouldn’t you be able to hold out at least one blow?”
What would you expect from a level 4?
To begin with, this is a mid- to low-level hunting ground.
This means that it is not a high-level hunting ground like the Great Labyrinth or the Great Rift.
If you want to find a monster that can fight on equal footing right now, you have to go to the Great Labyrinth or the Great Rift.
General’s sword recovery complete.
Slightly short form with a thick exterior.
If I had to categorize it, I would say it’s something like a broadsword.
I injected a little bit of magic power to check, then clicked my tongue.
‘This is just like a game.’
How great would it be if materials could be obtained this easily?
Unfortunately, this won’t do.
The general’s sword you just obtained is, after all, a replica.
It is a fake and limited-time illusion realized through the magic of Baekma Goji.
When the full moon sets and the sun rises, they disappear like the demons.
There is a real general’s sword.
In a secret forbidden area hidden in Baekma Goji.
And to open this secret forbidden zone, you must find the four great weapons within one night and perform a specific ritual.
Even if you call it a ritual, it’s just injecting magic power, and in the game, it’s just a simple touch.
WHACK! CRACK! BUZZ!
I yawned and threw Mjolnir.
It was really simple labor.
In the game, as soon as you kill all the monsters that appear, the next wave starts, but here, you have to wait a long time for the monsters to appear, which makes it even more boring.
That took a long time.
Just after midnight.
Finally, I collected all four weapons.
General’s Sword, Satellite Gun, Staff of Gravity, and Relic of the Seven Stars.
Need to kill some time?
Magic power was injected right away.
Originally, one person had to catch one and inject magic power into it, but this was omitted.
I can fill the trait slots with magic-related traits and get help from the Gold and Silver set, which is enough for me on my own.
Swaaaah.
Magical power swirls around.
A magical circuit emerges from your weapon.
A magical circuit that seeps through the air as if copied.
They entangled and spun around, tearing space apart and creating a dimensional gate.
A dimensional gate leading to the secret forbidden area of Baekma Goji.
This is my first time going there, so I had to go through a complicated process, but if you get the dimensional gate key inside, you can go there easily at any time.
Always, day or night.
The entrance is fixed, so you have to come here yourself.
‘Should I be nervous?’
The secret taboo is high level.
Trash mobs are level 4, bosses are level 5.
Actually, that doesn’t pose a threat to me, you know.
It is said that you must never let your guard down.
He carefully placed the Prophet’s Ring on his finger and then passed it over.
Dimensional gate.
Phew!
Just after light and darkness touched me.
“Wow!”
“This is a real pack of dogs!”
“中华人民共和国万岁!”
“The people’s will to arm the ten thousand soldiers!”
I was dropped into the battlefield.
About 70 years ago.
The time when the fiercest battle of the 6.25 War took place.
“Huh? Are you a new recruit?”
The ghost officer looked back at me.
A face without emotion.
A spirit body composed solely of the magic power of the secret forbidden zone.
They say the real bodies have already been recovered.
The bodies of Chinese soldiers are still suffering as they are refused to be recovered in China.
“What are you doing? Run forward quickly! Your hands are about to snap and you’re going to die!”
“Yes, yes.”
It went in one ear and out the other.
Instead, he activated the Prophet’s Ring.
Perhaps a manifestation of the foresight abilities bestowed upon the ring.
I checked to see what the secret situation was at this point… …
‘uh?’
A strange scene appeared.
A battlefield where bullets fly and shells rain down.
A little bit ahead of the army camp where I am.
A group of superhumans are fighting with Chinese zombies.
Superhumans who are neither ghosts nor undead, but alive and well.
‘It’s the Eastern Army.’
Unified military uniform, unified rank insignia.
He wears a bamboo flower rank insignia on his chest.
I’m talking about a colonel level.
All the superhumans I see now.
Exactly four people.
He looks about my age or a little older.
Their faces resemble each other.
Looking at the name tags, it was easy to tell who they were because they said things like GuOO, GuXX, etc.
‘It’s the old guys.’
The grandchildren of the legion commander.
Judging by his age, he must be a great-grandson.
Judging from the fact that they didn’t bring any soldiers, I don’t think the Eastern Army occupied the secret area.
It looks like he came here to gain practical experience.
It’s good to fight without any worries since the monsters keep pouring in endlessly.
Boom! Boom!
“Eek!”
Instead, it is too dangerous.
I, too, flinched reflexively when a mortar shell landed nearby.
The ghost officer looked at me and cursed.
“I said go! If you keep doing this, we’ll all die!”
“Yes, yes, I said I knew it.”
It’s not even a real soul, what are you talking about, an illusion?
Still, we can’t let our guard down.
Instead of sensitivity, equip the magic armor and advance.
Even if you have the Prophet’s Ring, this is better than responding every time.
Because small caliber mortar shells or ordinary bullets cannot penetrate magic armor.
“uh?”
“huh?”
As I approached, the supermen looked back at me.
Quite a bewildered face.
I never thought I would see a living person.
“hello?”
“Uh… … Yes, hello.”
“hello.”
He greets me in a military tone and then examines me.
The young-looking woman opened her eyes wide.
I checked the silent sword on my waist.
Also, the golf bag that he always carries around with him has become famous.
Even though the Empress of Slaughter ruined it, I still buy and wear the same tracksuit.
These three were like my trademarks.
“By any chance, Mr. Kim Jeon-sa, the superhuman?”
“Yes, that’s right. You are the successors of the Mukho Sword Family, right? I thought there would be no one, so I’m surprised.”
“We too. How did you find out about this place?”
“I heard it in the back alley. It’s a pretty well-known place. It’s just that there’s nothing to gain.”
That’s because the real four great weapons are sealed deep inside.
But to get there, you have to get through the undead army.
How is that easy?
Even though they are weapons from the 6.25 era, they are armed with guns, bombs, and cannons.
Tata Tang!
Zombies are still coming.
While firing a rotten bolt-action rifle.
Boom! Boom!
Sometimes he throws a grenade.
While we were talking, a woman recognized me and quickly threw a grenade at me.
“How about we move forward a little? If we go a little further, we’ll come across a national army camp. Let’s talk for a moment there.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The officers attacked simultaneously.
It’s definitely great.
In every movement, in every thrust and slash of the sword, the dignity of a noble family is revealed.
Power level 5.
The characteristics aren’t bad either.
If you were to give it a rating, it would more than likely be R.
but…….
‘Difficult.’
Even at first glance, it seemed like he was pouring out an excessive amount of magical power.
As if competing.
Or as a show-off.
It’s not that I’m not, but I’m glancing at the silent sword on my waist.
Sometimes he would give me jealous looks.
That’s worth it.
Your great-grandfather passed his beloved sword on to someone who wasn’t your uncle or aunt, but who might have rolled around somewhere.
I don’t know if it would have been buried as it was, but I played a role in the Seoul terrorist attack.
It’s obvious what the successors of the Mukho Sword Family, who are practically a noble family, will think of me.
‘Shall I just show you a little bit?’
I’m already on a different level from them.
Division Commander. That means you need to be at least level 7 to beat me.
I pulled out my silent sword.
Mjolnir was folded.
Because they wanted to show the difference in strength with the weapon they were most proud of and cherished.
Taat!
Fly the body.
Jump over the heads of four.
“Huh?”
“omg!”
Overtake them before they even realize it.
He landed on the center of the advancing Chinese army.
[Giant’s Power][Magic Soul][One Thousand]
[Tiger King Sword Technique][Sword Expert][Sword Skill]
Put all your strength into the silent sword.
Even strength that transcends humans.
The magical power that broke the warrior’s limits.
A dark energy rises from the silent sword.
A storm of black energy erupts with the roar of a mighty tiger.
Kwaaaaang!
A roar that tears the air apart.
I didn’t even use any special wide-area weapons.
But I had a double power build.
Here, the synergy between the advanced swordsmanship, sword expert, and sword spirit was created, resulting in an explosion of wide-area attacks.
Zombies are being torn apart.
Even the ghosts that were mixed in disappear.
The attack I unleashed, the explosion of black energy, was terrifying.
“Wh, what!”
“Could it be, Jincheon Sword?”
“No! It’s a little different!”
Then rotate your body.
He draws the silent sword continuously in the air like an egg.
Countless pure white auras are emitted.
Just like rain.
Like a heavy rain.
There were swords that flew like dots and swords that flew in lines.
A series of flashes and moon phases.
The dots are connected.
Three zombies had holes in their heads and soon fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.
A line divides the world.
The skeleton in the lead had its head cut off, and the ghoul following behind had its waist torn off.
One attack didn’t kill just one.
At least two.
If there were many, three or four would die.
And ghosts?
There was no need to use divine power.
I didn’t even use black salt.
The Gold O set effect alone was enough.
An orange aura that deals additional damage each time you attack.
It is the power of the Golden Raven, the Sun Raven, and is close to the fire attribute.
That energy deals effective damage to ghosts.
“Uh, how… … .”
“Is it level 5?”
“I’m also level 5… … .”
“Why is there such a difference?”
The officers look at me with a look of despair.
I guess so.
Because they’re only R-rated, they can’t slaughter zombies and ghosts like me.
The only superior trait he has is the Tiger Sword Technique.
Other than that, there is swordsmanship and sword spirit.
Although he has the qualities of command, strength, and courage, he cannot compare to me.
“Come quickly.”
When we arrived at the army camp and urged them on, they came walking unsteadily.
It took quite some time, but there were no interruptions.
Because I had killed all the zombies, skeletons, ghouls, ghosts, and vengeful spirits.
They are clearly discouraged.
But it seemed like he didn’t want to admit it.
“You are amazing. I understand why the commander gave me the silent sword.”
“I was really impressed.”
That’s all in words.
He was praising with his mouth, but his eyes were filled with flames.
Victory spirit.
And blatant jealousy.
Finally, the oldest lieutenant colonel raised his sword at me.
“Your Majesty. If you don’t mind, may I request a duel?”
“Daily training? Right now? Here?”
“Yes. It’s safe here. There’s a lot of space. We’ve had a few sparring sessions with each other. Just be a little careful.”
Is this person in his right mind?
Even though it’s safe, why do we have to spar here?
Well, there is nothing that cannot be done.
Looking at those burning eyes, I felt like breaking them.
Why?
It was so humid.
Instead of looking at me with a competitive spirit appropriate for my age, his eyes were moist with a base desire and arrogance that he couldn’t hide.
It’s so disgusting that I can’t stand it without looking at it.
We stood with an appropriate distance between us.
“start!”
The lieutenant colonel delivers a sharp stab.
A sword that digs into the heart.
Clearly a great and classic hit.
It was as strong as a tiger and as fast as an arrow.
however…….
visor!
I lose my sword as I strike with all my might.
A sword soaring into the air.
Under the shining sword light, astonished eyes shine.
“no?”
I tried to move late, but it was already too late.
He held the sword to the lieutenant colonel’s neck.
The other officers were startled and surrounded me, but the icy blade prevented any further approach.
Blood flowing down.
He looked straight into my eyes and spoke calmly.
“Do you understand now?”
The difference in power?
The lieutenant colonel’s eyes wavered.
