Episode 184
Kim Mun-kwon’s military regime rules the area around Hwanghae-do.
Kim Moon-kwon’s iron-fisted rule has never been shaken for more than 20 years since the cataclysm.
Cheolongseong Fortress built through violence.
It was a system that did not collapse in any crisis.
The military dictatorship, which had been unshakable for 20 years, was shaken in just one month.
“This is impossible.”
A map depicting the entire Hwanghae Province.
The map showed the locations of military units.
A unit composed of soldiers and awakened people.
Prevent the invasion of external forces or monsters.
On the one hand, they monitor people’s protests or attempts to escape their residences.
These are the units set up to do this.
2/3 of them were marked with an X in red.
“Mitin. Aren’t South Korean women tired?”
The detachment defeated units deployed in various parts of Hwanghae Province one after another.
Once the location was identified and the elites of the 1st Corps were deployed, they were quickly withdrawn.
It’s a new day.
I felt like I was possessed by a ghost.
“If I say I’m a ghost, I’ll understand!”
bang!
Kim Moon-kwon hit the table hard.
The A-class awakened person struck in anger, causing the iron table to collapse and collapse.
The only ones that are intact are the 1st Corps and the Special Forces that defend the capital.
Kim Moon-kwon’s military has already lost much of its control over the Hwanghae Province area.
“The special forces don’t work. There’s no defense!”
They gave up defense to some extent and bypassed the special forces’ demons to target the expedition team.
It was no use.
Crossing the Yesong River was a task, and the supply route was built along the coast, making it difficult to attack.
“There is only one conclusion: information is leaking out.”
“I guess so.”
The person sitting opposite.
The doctor nodded calmly.
“Comrade. That Jodong is heavy, right?”
“Hehehe, I’m sure the President doesn’t doubt me.”
“That can’t be possible. Hahaha!”
Kim Moon-kwon laughed loudly, pretending to be generous.
Even though the inside was clearly visible, it was really shameless.
He laughed for a while and then glared at the doctor again with eyes full of anger.
“So, think of a way for your comrade to fly too!”
“Even if you argue with me, will you find a way?”
The doctor held back a sigh.
Originally, I did not want to stay for a long time in the old land of North Korea, which was behind civilization.
all.
but.
He couldn’t leave this place.
‘If I don’t get more results, I can’t be safe either.’
Asmodeus.
He is the demon lord of Pandemonium who made a contract with the doctor.
‘If I fail this time too… that devil won’t stay still.’
Asmodeus has a disposition that is far from merciful.
The doctor has already failed twice.
These were all plans that were carried out with full support from Asmodeus.
‘Now that it’s like this, I’ll use that method.’
A chill appeared in the doctor’s eyes as he lowered his head.
Kim Moon-kwon was so angry that he didn’t even notice those eyes.
“Your Excellency the Fuhrer.”
“Is there a good way?”
“There is only one way to overcome the crisis.”
“Girae! As soon as I think about it, everything happens. Tell me a plan to fly!”
“Would you like to receive the power of the devil?”
The doctor looked at Kim Moon-kwon with a meaningful smile.
* * *
The main body of the expedition crossed the Yesong River and marched in earnest toward the military forces.
The reason was simple.
The second group that departed from Seoul joined the main unit.
A total of 2,000.
They are an elite group of hunters selected from various guilds and veteran agents of the association.

“The director of the association, what is going on here…
The moment I faced the late commander, I stuttered.
The hunter who fist-pumped during the S-class screening.
Kim Bo-seong personally led the rear team to the former North Korean region.
“Hehe. It’s embarrassing for a young man.”
“I pulled my butt off too late to avoid being seen.”
“Anyway, that’s true. I didn’t expect the director to come in person.”
“Please don’t feel pressured, junior.”
“If you don’t want to put pressure on me, please speak comfortably first.”
The opponent is one of the heroes of Cataclysm.
Regardless of his skills, he was a person who fully deserved to be respected.
“Hmm… I will do it if my junior does one favor for me.”
Hey.
Do I have to ask you to talk to me and also ask you to do a favor?
‘He wasn’t like this when I saw him before.’
The strange feeling lasted for a moment.
It was uncomfortable to continue the conversation like this, so I immediately agreed with Kim Bo-seong.
“You tell me.”
“Would you like to spar with me later?”
This is an unexpected request.
I made eye contact with Kim Bo-seong.
‘These are eyes that have not forgotten the heat of that time.’
S-level review.
At that time, I pushed Kim Bo-seong to the limit.
-Thank you for sparring.
This is what Kim Bo-seong said immediately after completing the screening.
A man thirsty for struggle.
I don’t think I could quench my thirst with just one sparring session.
‘This kind of person is not bad.’
It’s like seeing the fighting spirit of the Tuma clan.
Arthur felt better.
I readily agreed to Kim Bo-seong’s request(?).
“Good. Let’s hang out when we get back to Seoul.”
“Then I will also speak comfortably. Instead of calling me ‘Isa’, please call me ‘Senior’ like in sparring.”
“By the way. I would also like to ask you a favor.”
“Hehe. Let’s listen first and then decide.”
“Please take on the role of leader of the expedition.”
“Are you talking about the entire team, not just the latecomers?”
“Yes. The head of the Interstellar Union’s Martan branch will assist you.”
Commanding a unit is cumbersome.
Even in his previous life, he left the leadership of the demons to his subordinates and jumped into the battlefield himself.
‘I’m not the type of commander.’
This expedition was the same.
I left complicated issues to each unit commander or Martin and went around here and there.
Unit commanders who had been removed from the detachment were also brought to the main unit.
“Ugh, I can finally get some rest now.”
“It’s not something humans can digest.”
“Hehehe. I guess I’ll have to work harder to follow the expedition leader.”
Youngjun Lee, Minsoo Park, and Verde spoke in turn.
He traveled around Hwanghae Province without being able to rest properly for a month, dealing a blow to the military.
A double whammy of having to worry about both the military and monster attacks.
After the chase in the Lost Land, my fatigue doubled.
‘Everyone is under a lot of pressure.’
I didn’t understand their reaction.
In my past life, there was a time when I swung a weapon for dozens of days without closing my eyes!
Anyway, these days(?) things lack grit.
‘Especially Verde, I need to come back and give him some mental education.’
Even if it’s because they’re both human.
The devil who calls himself subordinate number 2 is weak.
Would you use it to show one side?
After work is over, I will have to train both physically and mentally.
He entrusted the position of expedition leader to Kim Bo-seong and took individual action with peace of mind.
“After all, I’m comfortable alone.”
-I feel sad when I am alone. bruise!
Fenrir showed his face from within his arms.
“Okay. I’m sorry.”
I stroked Fenrir’s head.
I almost left out Fenrir, the most powerful force.
I headed west.
Do the goal.
It was the city that Kim Moon-kwon’s military used as its capital after the cataclysm.
-master. But why are you moving alone?
“It will take quite some time for the expedition to reach Haeju.”
Gate nucleus extraction.
Saving people exposed to danger due to the collapse of military power.
Perhaps because we worked too hard for a month, many areas within the military collapsed.
all.
“So, it’s like an ecosystem disturbing species.”
-But what does that have to do with the expedition?
“Civilians living in the former North Korean territory were exposed to danger.”
The gate core assimilates with reality and then absorbs nature’s mana to continuously create monsters.
This was the reason why the Lost Land was said to be difficult for people to live in.
The awakened people deployed by the military are living a life that the former North Korean people could live.
Protected the home.
-bruise. Are you saying those soldiers were a necessary evil?
“That’s the way it is.”
Now that power is gone.
Although the border will not collapse immediately.
It was clear that if the number of monsters increased, it would also affect the lives of civilians.
“I’ve appointed unit commanders as assistants, so I’ll leave the rest to my seniors.”
-bruise. Leave all the troublesome work to me,
This is a bad master.
“I guess you’re a little full after eating some souls these days?”
-no. Pengu is still hungry. bruise!
Regarding the speed of attitude change.
I picked up the pace again while holding Fenrir.
>k *
Heading to Haeju.
I witnessed several strange scenes.
‘what?’
An empty village.
There are many footprints and car wheel marks left on the roadside.
This is a terrain I have become quite familiar with as I have been traveling around Hwanghae Province for the past month.
We also discovered a few villages, towns, or residential areas.
-bruise. There is no one here.
“I know.”
I approached the village, but didn’t feel like I was there at all.
Awarded.
It’s something I wouldn’t normally do.
Out of sudden curiosity, I entered the village.
“As expected, it’s a little strange.”
All kinds of furniture and household tools are thrown on the floor.
It is a sign that someone used force to forcibly drag people away.
-Could it be that monsters ate people?
“That’s not right.”
I pointed to the ground.
Footprints left everywhere.
There are no traces of monsters among them.
I stopped by a few more villages on the way to Haeju, but it was the same.
-It’s all done by people. bruise!
“Besides that, we have one more thing in common.”
– What?
“The direction of the footprints all point to Haeju.”
There is only one place to do this.
It was Kim Moon-kwon’s military.
“I don’t know why.”
I touched my chin.
Did they even think about the safety of the people after several military bases collapsed?
‘If that were the case, they would have moved a long time ago.’
The military forces thought of people as livestock.
Kim Bong-gwon, the commander of the 3rd Corps, who was captured earlier, also showed a similar attitude.
‘It makes no sense to think that they are now taking care of the people.’
Traces of being dragged by force.
Anyone could see that it was unnatural.
-bruise. Could it be that they are trying to use people somewhere?
“You’re worried because you don’t know the reason.”
-no. Like human sacrifice or something like that. bruise!
While listening to Fenrir.
Goosebumps appeared on my forearms.
‘Why didn’t I think of that?’
sacrifice.
borrow power from beings of a higher dimension
This is one of the ways you can do it.
In the past, I also descended on the Mu Continent after receiving a sacrifice from the ‘Demon Cult’.
Of course, it was not in perfect condition.
Not only was a considerable amount of power consumed in the dimensional deterrence, but the Great Law itself was unstable and most of its power was sealed away.
‘Behind them there is a black society.’
Black society.
And dr.
These are people who have a direct connection to pandemonium.
If people are suddenly taken by force, the purpose may be ‘human sacrifice’ as Fenrir said.
‘At best, you can’t summon a proper devil with just a few hundred thousand.’
Dimensional deterrence is not that easy.
For people living in Hwanghae Province, the maximum is in the millions.
Even if all of those people were sacrificed, it was difficult to properly summon the devil.
‘You’re going to throw people’s lives away for something so crazy and impossible?’
I was angry.
Is it not enough to throw people as food for monsters?
“I have to go to Haeju right now.”
Kim Moon-kwon’s military and black society.
I need to see with my own eyes what they are planning.
