Episode 269
The demonization of an imprisoned Chinese player.
All 50 people were turned into monsters as a group.
Reporters who smelled a scoop rushed to the unprecedented situation.
They were lucky that the building where they were imprisoned was equipped with a state-of-the-art barrier system.
A total of ten barriers stacked in layers.
The monsters were unable to escape because they were destroying the wall where Alchemist’s cutting-edge scientific power was concentrated.
The fact that the players who had been turned into monsters were irrational also played a role.
Is that why?
Even though it was an SS grade gate break, it wasn’t a strange situation.
The actual damage was minimal.
* * *
Da da da da da.
A helicopter flew overhead and captured the scene on camera.
The monsters were expelling magical power to escape the layered blue barrier.
All of the buildings within the barrier had already been destroyed, and players were camped outside the barrier, preparing for an emergency.
The first to arrive at the scene were Kwon Kang-hyuk and Kwak Si-yang.
This is because they were absent from the meeting at Go Tae-wook’s request and were working to strengthen security in the surrounding area.
“f*ck you. “How much is this?”
Kwon Kang-hyuk muttered as he looked at the ridiculous number of monsters.
“A total of fifty. S rank is twenty. S+ grade is 20. “There must be about ten SS-ranked ones.”
“crazy. “You could say it’s a real war.”
“That’s right.”
Kwak Si-yang, who had already unlocked her magical powers, responded while preparing her skills.
Kwon Kang-hyuk whistled at that sight.
“Guild leader Kwak. “You’re more calm than I thought, huh?”
“I think that’s the same for Guild Master Kwon.”
Kwak Si-yang said that and smiled.
They are the ones who overcame the SS grade barrier thanks to Taehyun’s rigorous training.
Thanks to this, I was able to take on SS-rank monsters one by one.
Of course, the numbers don’t match right now, so all I can do is watch the situation from outside the barrier.
After a while, when the main forces of New Korea arrived, the hunting operation would begin in earnest.
‘Now that I think about it, it’s wonderful that we became SS-rank players at a time like this… .’
‘f*ck… ‘I don’t think my younger brother could have predicted this situation.’
Considering Taehyun’s actions of usually being several steps ahead, it seemed quite possible.
This is when the two people who have prepared their combat posture have such reasonable doubts.
“You guys came first.”
Park Seong-jin arrived with the escort troops he had saved for the world conference.
Lim Ah-young was also behind them.
“f*ck you. “These are faces that I never get tired of, no matter how often I see them.”
“Now there are three people left.”
Kwak Si-yang said while keeping an eye on the monster within the barrier.
In front of SS-rank monsters, players below S-rank are not of much help.
No, if you don’t want to make unnecessary sacrifices, it’s better not to get involved.
So, the rest of the SS-rank players.
Ji Jin-hee, Yoo Ah-young, and Kim Tae-hyun.
As soon as the three arrived, a party of seven would be formed and the battle of annihilation would begin.
It didn’t take long for the last people to gather.
“I guess it’s not too late.”
“That’s right.”
Ji Jin-hee and Tae-hyun arrived after crossing the gate.
I was on my way from the conference hall.
“What happened to the guild leader Yoo Ah-young?”
To Kwak Si-yang’s question.
“She’s on standby, just in case.”
Ji Jin-hee, who had heard it from Go Tae-wook in advance, answered.
There are six SS-rank players.
In addition, there is Taehyun, who is at his peak power.
Kwon Kang-hyuk went on a party hunt for the first time in a while and ended up laughing, regardless of the seriousness of the situation.
“good. “This is enough power to hit a cake!!”
“We will open the area C barrier.”
Kiyiing. Geeing.
The barrier in front of it disappeared along with the final barrier.
As soon as six players entered.
The slaughter has begun.
* * *
At that time, the delegation participating in the world conference was moving according to instructions.
Even though it was an evacuation, there was no tension.

Each of them is a leading player in their country.
In addition, Kim Tae-hyun was at the scene and Cody Cruz was here.
The current situation is just surprising and absurd.
“her… Turning into a monster… .”
“This is ridiculous… .”
“I never thought it was true that they joined hands with demons… .”
Demonization, gray disease, and demons are inseparable.
China has been under constant suspicion regarding the three charges above and has always protested that they are unfair.
However, there are 50 players who can be considered their elite.
It was a situation where I could no longer make excuses since all of the people being interrogated had turned into monsters.
Some countries expressed disappointment, others were angry.
At that moment, the scene was being displayed on a large electronic display board.
New Korea’s top 6 members.
Even though Yoo Ah-young was missing.
Even in the face of 50 monsters, their power was overwhelming.
First, Lim Ah-young’s ice surrounded her.
For a moment, I hoped that the monsters’ attention would be taken away by the ice pillar that suddenly appeared.
Kwon Kang-hyuk crushed the monster with his gigantic body, and Park Seong-jin’s sword cut the monster to pieces.
The S-class monsters were swept away by the awl made by Kwak Si-yang.
and.
Ji Jin-hee and Tae-hyun were quickly eliminating SS-class monsters using ancient martial arts.
massacre.
It was also a one-sided assassination.
“New Korea was a scary place… .”
“That’s right… “It would be more likely to win if we robbed the American Association.”
Some delegates said such trivial things.
* * *
Lee Jeong-su trembled in the collapsed building.
This is because of what you see in the mirror.
‘I… why… .’
One eye was red.
It’s not just the eyes.
The scales of an unknown monster were growing on the upper body.
‘Why this risk… .’
He did not undergo demonization treatment.
All 50 players who were imprisoned together turned into monsters and ran out of the building.
That is why he retains his sense of reason and his body maintains its human form.
But why?
Did your face, eyes, and body become like this?
Doesn’t anyone look like a person who has been subjected to a monster transformation experiment?
Suddenly, a man passed through my mind.
Jihong Min.
He gave me a bottle of Western liquor as a gift, and we drank it together on the spot.
The sly face that came to mind as he drank the liquor and asked how it tasted.
‘No way is he…’ !!’
Lee Jeong-su’s body trembled.
But it happened anyway.
Now I had to get out of here somehow.
‘I took advantage of being distracted by monsters and went to an affiliate company… .’
Once you reach the affiliates that still remain in New Korea, you can use the warp gate to cross over to China.
If you do that, Chairman Jeongcheong and Chairman Liu Shibo will somehow protect you.
‘You won’t get rid of me easily.’
He has the justification and information to imprison Kim Tae-hyun.
There is no way those old politicians would let go of those who still have utility.
While thinking that, it was the moment when I tried to escape through the broken building.
“Where are you going?”
A familiar voice was heard.
Lee Jeong-soo hurriedly turned around.
There was a face there that I never wanted to meet.
“seaweed… Taehyun… .”
Lee Jeong-su muttered as if chewing and spitting out.
“I asked where you were going.”
Grinning.
Taehyun smiled kindly.
However, Lee Jeong-su knows.
That smile is no different from that of the Grim Reaper.
“me… If you release it… “I will grant all your requests.”
“Do you know what I’m asking for and use the word ‘all’ easily?”
“… … !!”
Lee Jeong-soo’s face stiffened at Tae-hyeon’s sudden change in attitude.
“why… Is it like this… I am your friend’s father… Isn’t it… Well, think about Jeongjae’s face… .”
“Lee Jeong-jae. “Did he also experiment with turning into a monster?”
“Well, that’s… .”
“I did it, I did it.”
Taehyun sighed as he looked at Lee Jeongsoo, who was not confident.
A father who experiments with turning his own son into a monster.
Although I expected it.
It was even more disappointing when I actually heard it.
“don’t worry. “I won’t kill you.”
“I, I am going to China… .”
“Why are you going there? “If you commit a crime in New Korea, you should receive punishment in New Korea.”
Taehyun said as if it were obvious.
“Oh, and.”
Taehyun took off his circle lenses.
“There’s nothing to be afraid of just because one eye turns red.”
“Well, those eyes are… !!”
Have you also become a monster?
Taehyun burst out laughing at Lee Jeong-soo’s words.
“Everyone has at least one red eye these days, right?”
“What nonsense… !!”
Even before Lee Jeong-su finished speaking.
Tiring.
[Skill Ataraxia (SS) has been activated. Specify the target. Magic power consumption accelerates.]
“It’s noisy. “I’m having a nightmare for a moment.”
Taehyun’s red eyes flashed.

In one day, the world turned upside down once again.
Following the events of the previous day.
This time, images of Chinese players turning into demons were broadcast live.
The only one who was captured alive was Jeongsu Lee, and all 50 monsters were killed on the spot.
It was like looking at a well-assembled puzzle.
They expressed their anger at New Korea, asking what China had done to its players.
However, China had already lost trust.
The whole world condemned China’s lies.
The Chinese government and the players’ association belatedly drew a line, saying that it was Lee Jeong-soo’s lone act.
Afterwards, Lee Jeong-su, who seemed to be half out of his mind, confessed to being behind the crime, which also became a meaningless excuse.
President Jeong Cheong criticized those who were causing confusion in large countries and declared that trade sanctions would be imposed on those countries.
It was a threat card that always worked, but the world’s reaction was cold.
At the same time, India, which was engaged in a territorial dispute with China, raised the level of criticism day after day, and the United States and its allies raised their voices, demanding the right to take responsibility for gray diseases.
Fatigue accumulated due to gray disease and mine.
All of that exploded and China was instantly isolated.
As feelings of hatred spread, views toward Asians worsened.
It was also surprising that Kim Tae-hyun’s presence led to a new perspective on Asians.
Meanwhile.
In such a transitional situation, the new Korea was quietly strengthening its internal stability.
* * *
“long time no see?”
“Well, I’m not really like that.”
Taehyun slyly answered Yoo Ah-young’s question.
“Hehe. “It’s still the same.”
“Guild leader Yoo Ah-young looks fine.”
Taehyun’s words were sincere.
She had just woken up after fainting from Taehyun’s skill the other day.
The reason I didn’t call her when dealing with monsters was in part to prepare for an emergency.
This was because madness could possibly relapse.
Fortunately, the madness at that time seemed to have disappeared.
‘It may be only for a moment, though.’
“Isn’t the scale no joke this time?”
Ayoung asked, looking into Taehyun’s eyes.
“You’re talking as if I caused that massive-scale incident.”
“Hehehe. Well, I wonder what it will be like~”
Her nasal voice seemed to be no different from usual.
“I guess that’s not the reason you called me.”
The reason Taehyun came here was because of information about Asisat Ebi.
As long as she came to her senses.
Taehyun’s request was handed over to Jeong Hansoo.
And a little while ago.
It was also Yoo Ah-young who reported that information about Asisat Ebi had been received.
“okay. Asisat Ebi. It’s true that her information about her came in. “And this time with quite detailed information.”
“It is indeed a Night Walker.”
Yoo Ah-young’s expression became strange at Tae-hyeon’s polite words.
“Before that, there’s something I want to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“Taehyun Kim. what is your identity?”
Taehyun tilted his head at the unexpected question.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Ayoung exhaled deeply.
“grandee.”
“… … .”
“Rosaria’s Contractor.”
Very little.
Taehyun’s eyes twitched.
“tell me… … .”
The same goes for Yoo Ah-young.
She continued speaking in a trembling voice.
“Who are you?”
The emotions in your voice.
It was fear.
