Episode 125
The place Taehyun visited was the Tokyo branch of the Japan Players Association.
Next to me, Ayoung was following with a nervous look on her face.
“I would like to meet Association President Masataka Kubota.”
Taehyun said, showing the S-class license to the player guarding the entrance.
“… … !!”
“Kim Taehyun?!!”
Someone watching hurriedly put their hand on the earring.
After a while.
Taehyun and Ayoung were led to the living room.
It was a quick decision to meet the head of a country’s players’ association.
This is possible because he is not an ordinary S-rank player but a national power-level player.
“… … .”
For Ayoung, who watched everything from the side, it was a process that made her think again about Taehyun’s status.
Association President Kubota came in less than five minutes later.
“Who is this? “What is the pride of Asia doing here?”
It was hard to believe that he was the commander-in-chief of the war, and his face looked brighter than when I saw him before.
He glanced at Taehyun and Ayoung next to him.
“This way… ?”
“I am… .”
“I’ll be blunt.”
Before Ayoung could introduce herself, Taehyun spoke first.
“Unexplored dungeon. Oh, it’s not even a dungeon anymore. In any case, you should acknowledge my qualifications for that.”
Association President Kubota looked dumbfounded for a moment at the unexpected words.
and.
“Tsk… Hahaha.”
He understood Taehyun’s words and burst into laughter.
At the same time, Taehyun also smiled kindly.
“… … .”
Ayoung and the Japanese players around her.
They looked at the two with stern expressions.
Chairman Kubota stopped laughing.
“Did Association President Ji Jin-hee order it?”
“It is a personal judgment. It is also a ‘natural right.’”
He frowned at Taehyun’s words.
“It’s a right… Why should I do that? The brakes have already happened. “Now it’s up to us to decide what to do with those monsters.”
It wasn’t wrong.
The only right Taehyun had was ownership of the ‘unexplored dungeon’.
Now the monsters inside the dungeon have come out.
There are no more unexplored dungeons in Japan.
Of course, not a single monster has appeared yet.
There was no need to tell me that.
“I understand your confidence. “In the end, this war will end miserably.”
“You’re arrogant.”
Association President Kubota glared at Taehyeon with murderous intent.
Taehyun was not intimidated by that level.
He shrugged his shoulders as if he didn’t care and continued speaking.
“Let me tell you three mistakes the association president made.”
“Why do I listen to that…” .”
Taehyun ignored this again and opened his mouth first.
“first. You had to deliver on your promise before the break happened. Then there would have been no need for so many people to die.”
“… “It’s a consequential story.”
Association President Kubota snorted.
He nodded as if he wanted to hear the other two as well.
“second. You should have accepted help from other countries. Ambitions such as imperialism should have ended as delusions.”
“joy. “I will also tell you that it is not something outsiders should worry about.”
Association President Kubota’s face slowly turned red.
He is good at reading the inner thoughts of people from other countries.
It doesn’t stop there, but you openly criticize the president of the association.
Just like the saints and the demonic swordsmen, it was a confidence that could not have been achieved unless they were at the national power level.
‘cheeky… .’
When Chairman Kubota was quietly gritting his teeth.
Taehyun mentioned his last mistake.
“third. “Ordinary monsters cannot think of taking humans hostage.”
After hearing those words, Association President Kubota burst into laughter.
It was as if he was wondering if this was it.
He opened the screen installed in the reception room.
Immediately, the video being broadcast by Yuki Broadcasting Station came to mind.

The Self-Defense Forces pouring out firepower on low-level monsters, and the players fire their skills wildly.
Meanwhile, the citizens of Kyoto who had been held hostage were being taken out.
“Look over there. The soldiers of our Empire of Japan who are rescuing so many people right now. “Isn’t this a long way off for the new Korea?”
Ayoung’s body flinched at the blatant sarcasm.
But Taehyun just shook his head.
“Oh my, you misunderstood what I meant.”
“what?”
“They said three SS-class monsters appeared in Russia. Why are you so sure that only one showed up in Japan?”
“Both you and President Ji Jin-hee look down on our Empire of Japan. “Do we seem so stupid that we can’t even properly understand the enemy’s strength?”
He changed the channel.
There, the battle between the Demon Sword and Centazenas was taking place.
The Demon Sword’s sword cut off Centazenas’ chest, and Centazenas’ halberd cut off one of the Demon Sword’s arms.
At the same time, the saint’s ‘ultra-fast regeneration’ regenerated the demon sword’s arm.
Attack and defense again. Also, attack and defense.
As time passed, the wounds piled up on Kentazenas’ body one by one.
It was a movement that even a high-speed camera could not keep up with.
Ayoung opened her mouth slightly.
Kenta Zenas casually inflicting serious injuries on a national power level demon sword was also amazing.
The Demonic Sword that continued to pressure Kenta Zenas while receiving such attacks was also amazing.
The skill proficiency of the saint who supported the ghost sword at the right time was also remarkable.
But if it continues like this for a long time.
What if the S-rank players who are fighting the Grand Centaur join in?
gulp.
‘There’s a good chance of winning.’
Ayoung swallowed dry saliva and thought.
It is a SS grade monster.
Japan, which has only two national power levels, is the first to catch such a monster.
Sacrifice of a cow for the greater good.
Countless soldiers, ordinary people, and players will die on the battlefield.
However, did they say that a crisis is an opportunity?
If we block this break on our own.
There would no longer be any country criticizing Japan’s military buildup.
Ayoung, who until now had only thought about the victims, thought of ‘after the war’ for the first time.
‘Dangerous.’
Only then did I understand why Taehyun wanted to intervene in this war.
“Hehe… After the war ended. Are you afraid that the blade will be pointed at the new Korea?”
“… … .”
Kubota, the president of the association, burst into laughter as he saw Taehyun not saying anything.
I thought I was cornered, unable to use my strategic weapons.
But did you say it was a blessing in disguise?
The power of the ghost sword was stronger than he thought.
So much so that what Taehyun says sounds like nonsense.
“Go back to your country. Once this holy war is over, we will formally protest our current words and actions. “The expression on Association President Ji Jin-hee’s face is worth seeing.”
Holy war.
President Kubota was already treating the disaster caused by his own mistake as such.
Words don’t make sense.
However, it is impossible to subdue the president of a country by force.
Taehyun sighed as if there was nothing he could do.
“Well, I hoped I wouldn’t make the fourth mistake.”
“At this point, I will also make an offer to you.”
Taehyun winked as if asking me to speak.
“Let us become naturalized Japanese.” Then, it will be even better than what you enjoyed in New Korea… .”
“Ah, that’s a suggestion I heard in America too.”
“… “It’s a shame.”
“More than that. “Can I watch this ‘holy war’ here a little longer?”
Taehyun asked with a sour expression.
At those words, the corners of Chairman Kubota’s mouth rose.
I thought there was a possibility that Taehyun’s feelings would change later.
“Hehe. I’ll be in the war room, so if you change your mind, feel free to let me know. “You must take good care of these people.”
Five Japanese players stood behind Taehyun and Ayoung.
It was a clear surveillance system, as if they would not tolerate any nonsense.
“What do you plan to do?”
Ayoung asked without hiding her worried expression.
“Literally. “Let’s watch for a moment.”
“But if diplomatic relations continue like this… .”
Eat.
Taehyun let out a laugh without realizing it.
For a guy who will become an SS-level player in the future, I thought he was too worried.
“are you okay. “It won’t take long anyway.”
Taehyun turned his attention to the battle between the Demon Sword and Centazenas.
‘Is he still like that…? .’
There was a misconception that many people, including Association President Kubota, had.
The monster that brought Japan to the brink of destruction in its past life was not ‘Kentagenas’.
A monster that was evaluated as a disaster because it was difficult for even SS-rank players to deal with alone.
SS+ grade monster Centamion.
‘Where are you?’
Taehyun, remembering the appearance of that terrible guy, quietly watched the battle.
* * *
That time.
The Japanese people were more excited than ever.
3rd place in friendly competition.
Before we could even accept that difficult ranking, the Beomjinsa dungeon broke down and many citizens lost their lives.
Following China, it was also pushed back by New Korea.
Japan is no longer a powerful country.
Such dark thoughts spread through society like an infection.
A sense of defeat was prevalent due to the successive shocks.
But not now.
The video on the electronic display board reminded them that their thoughts were mistaken.
“Demon sword!! Ganbare!!!”
“Ganbare!!!”
The white night of the blood-stained demon sword pierced Centazenas.
Centazenas’ halberd cut deeply into the demon sword’s waist.
The saint’s skill immediately healed the wound.
At the same time, the ghost sword concentrated all its magical power on the midnight sun.
Fuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The huge Centazenas took a step back due to the magical power stirring inside.
First step back.
And for the first time, he frowned.
“Waaaaaa!!!”
There were cheers from everywhere.
Thanks to the good war between the two national powers, the momentum of the players and the Self-Defense Forces facing other monsters also rose.
can win.
We can once again rise to the status of a great power.
The Rising Sun flag waved all over the streets.
“Demon sword!! Demon sword!! “Devil sword!!”
“Shinji!! Shinji!! Shinji!!”
“Saint!! Saint!! “Saint!!”
People started shouting as if they were possessed by something.
Even those who had no experience in combat could tell.
This battle will not last long and will be concluded.
Therefore, I focused with my eyes wide open on their workshop that I couldn’t see properly and couldn’t capture in full even with a high-speed camera.
Kyaang. Kyaang. Wow.
Deep. Deep. Phew.
Suddenly.
The battle between Centazenas and the Demon Sword became increasingly fierce.
An arm was cut off, a leg was cut off, and the waist was cut off.
Nevertheless, I swallowed the pain.
The ghost sword advanced.
and.
Just one blow.
His midnight sun, containing all of its magical power, reached Centazenas.
Suddenly.
Centazenas’ lower body protected by an unknown armor.
The demon sword cut down a place that had never allowed an attack until now.
Wow!!
Two of the four legs were cut off.
The huge Kenta Zenas fell to the ground.
It was like a loser kneeling to a winner.
“Waaaaaa!!!”
“I won!!!”
“Shinjiyi!!!”
A close-up of Kentazenas’ face contorted in pain.
“Finish it!! Shinji!!!”
Then the saintess shouted, and the midnight sun filled with purple magical power cut off Centazenas’ head.
No, it was the moment when I was swung to cut.
Wow!!
In the blink of an eye, ‘something’ came and struck the ghost sword.
“Well, what is that… ?”
“Why is it so big?!!”
“Where did you come from and suddenly appear?!!”
People were taken aback by the sudden invasion of the monster.
After a while, their confusion turned to astonishment.
“uh… uh… ?”
“crazy… .”
Crack. Quad deuk. Quad deuk.
A newly appeared large monster.
He began to eat Centagenas.
