Chapter 292
The battle between Jinseok-i and Leo itself was practically neck and neck.
“Would it be better to support older brother?”
I couldn’t just leave him to die, after all.
If I sent Siwoo, who was Lust, and Ray for long-range fire support, even Leo wouldn’t be able to overcome them easily.
“Should I go?”
“Yeah. You and Ray go.”
With this much, it should be worth a try.
“I heard Leo’s subordinates invaded Seoul.”
This time, it was Dara.
subordinates were invading. This wasn’t something to just gloss over.
“So Leo really made up his mind and invaded?”
Come to think of it, Leo’s Army has never shown itself until now.
“It looks like their numbers exceed hundreds of thousands!”
“Where did they invade?”
Did they really invade Korea?
“They invaded Seoul directly!”
“Damn it. This is a big problem.”
I never thought he’d invade so mindlessly like this.
Of all times, the Baekhwa Cult’s military forces were currently spread out across the occupied territories.
Recalling them right this moment would be difficult.
And bringing in the Army of Sin wasn’t an option either, as it had taken quite a bit of damage from the fight with the Apostles.
In other words,
Wasn’t Korea practically defenseless right now?
Because we were focusing on Manchuria of all places, the number of hunters to protect Seoul was lacking. The Baekhwa Cult Army was also lacking, making it the perfect time to be exposed to Leo.
“We’re fucked. I need to contact Yuzuki right now. I have to drag in the Shogunate Army at least.”
“The Shogunate Army?”
“Yeah. The Mutant Legion currently in Songdo is barely even 10,000.”
It takes a long time to train them.
In a situation like this where Leo had invaded, I had to bring in the Shogunate Army quickly at least.
I gave Yuzuki a call first.
[“Did Leo perhaps invade over there?”]
“Ah, you already heard and knew?”
[“Aside from that, we’re dying over here too, you know?”]
“What do you mean?”
[“That crazy bastard Leo sent his subordinates here too. On top of that, they’re connected with China’s Red Guard Unit!”]
So they were connected with China?
Was what I did the crazy act of planting a flag outside while my main base was burning down?
I didn’t know that crazy bastard Jang Hak-chae would join hands with Leo.
“We’re ruined.”
[“It’s still manageable for now. Once things are sorted out here, I’ll send the Shinsengumi at least.”]
“Yeah. I’m counting on you. My love.”
I should give her some cunnilingus later as a reward for helping.
Come to think of it, didn’t we have the Yongyong Bomb too?
Dara is in charge of the Yongyong Bomb right now, isn’t she?
I called Dara and the heroines.
“Come to think of it, isn’t the Yongyong Bomb left?”
“We do have it. Are you going to use it?”
It seemed like it was finally time to use it.
“It can’t be helped if we want to catch those bastards. I think it’d be better to kill Leo’s subordinates using a reasonably small one.”
“The explosive power seems like it’ll be quite large.”
It would be large, of course. But this wasn’t the time to be picky about this and that.
“We just have to do it and see.”
“Anyway, I’ll try to adjust it.”
It didn’t seem like Leo had come trusting only in those numbers.
There had to be something else.
“I’ll go too, just in case. Dara, you and Magnute use the Yongyong Bomb to catch Sin’s subordinates.”
“Understood.”
“The rest of you secure the occupied territories and catch Leo’s subordinates.”
That settled this. So, should I go catch Leo too?
* * *
Leo, his body blazing fiercely, lunged at Choi Siwoo.
“You’re nothing but a villain bitch who’s doing a little well in Korea!”
CLANG!
Choi Siwoo parried Leo and simultaneously opened up a gap, allowing Ray’s arrow to accurately shoot Leo down.
BOOM!
“Like I said. Getting beaten up by a villain bitch like me is your destiny, you know?”
“Amazing. You really are strong.”
Jinseok-i highly evaluated the strength of the Baekhwa Cult’s executives who had come to support him.
It was surprising to think they would so thoroughly demolish an opponent he had been struggling against.
“Why don’t you stop now? Someone of your level can’t beat us. The Baekhwa Cult hasn’t even brought in the executives that are out all over the world currently.”
Choi Siwoo smiled faintly while looking at Leo.
Leo was even currently using the Authority of Sin, but he couldn’t beat Choi Siwoo and Jinseok-i.
His opponents were just too bad for him.
Of all people, it was the First Divine Sword User and the Second Divine Sword. On top of that, Choi Siwoo was even using the Authority of Lust, so it would be strange if he won.
“Is the Baekhwa Cult that strong?”
Even Jinseok-i, who was fighting alongside Choi Siwoo, asked in surprise.
“Uh, I don’t know if this counts as being on the strong side. But shouldn’t we at least be stronger than this guy?”
She hadn’t expected to receive a question from Jinseok-i.
“I suppose so. What about Eunha?”
“Eunha is currently… Because of Leo, she’s dispersing troops from the command center and preparing to strike down Leo’s subordinates.”
She might have prepared the Yongyong Bomb by now.
The damage would be great, but for now, that was the only way.
However, as if finding something hilarious, that bastard Leo started laughing heartily.
“Kikikik. Kuhahahahat!”
“What. Did he go crazy? Why is he like this?”
It was dumbfounding. Why was he laughing so much?
“I’m weak? Keukeukeuk. I’m dumbfounded.”
Despite having been beaten to a pulp up until now.
“Then you are weak. Are you not?”
“I’m sorry, but this is as far as it goes.”
“Hm? Oho.”
Leo pulled out a bizarrely shaped object from his person.
It was a strange fragment.
No, it was something she felt like she had seen recently.
“This is a Fragment of Aži Dahaka. I happened to get my hands on it a while ago. You guys wouldn’t happen to be ignorant about Aži Dahaka, would you?”
“A Fragment of Aži Dahaka? It’s not like Aži Dahaka told you, so how do you know?”
Jinseok-i considered the possibility of Aži Dahaka’s resurrection.
Aži Dahaka was the disaster itself that caused the Great Cataclysm.
If that were the case, everyone had to step up.
“That’s because Sin itself came from Aži Dahaka. I can just instinctively tell.”
“Oho. I see. Hm? But why are you laughing so much?”
“Ahaha. It’s nothing.”
Since the main body was Yu Eunha, that fragment itself shouldn’t have any meaning. She wondered what he trusted to come all this way, but she was surprised that he only trusted that.
“It won’t be difficult to blow away at least one Korea!”
“You crazy bastard, have you completely decided to die?”
Jinseok-i looked urgent, but this was a fight they absolutely couldn’t lose.
They had gained a power even greater than Sin, greater than they had thought.
“The Great Cataclysm is going to erupt again. Not that I care! Did you commit this because you thought you couldn’t win? They were already in a tough spot just trying to block the large-scale Monster Legion that had invaded Korea.”
“Did you commit this because you thought you couldn’t win?”
They were already in a tough spot just trying to block the large-scale Monster Legion that had invaded Korea. To think he would resort to such a mutual-destruction tactic of all things.
If so, the answer was simple.
They just needed to call Yu Eunha.
* * *
A text came from Siwoo.
[Leo has a Fragment of Aži Dahaka, apparently?]
Leo does? Then should I go?
I didn’t know how that guy Leo got his hands on it.
If that was the case, this wasn’t something that would end with just Jinseok-i and Choi Siwoo.
In other words, it would be right for me to go. It was time to depart.
“Dara, please take good care of Jiyeon-i.”
I wanted to stay by her side, but it couldn’t be helped.
If so, it would be best to at least keep Dara by her side.
“Is something wrong?”
“Because it’s about time to end this fight.”
Oh. I sound kind of cool?
It was a bit of a shame that Jiyeon-i wouldn’t have a chance to play an active role, but it couldn’t be helped.
“Do you have to catch Leo?”
“Yeah. Apparently, he has a Fragment of Aži Dahaka.”
I, the Master, was right here. I wondered what use it would be to have that fragment. Anyway, they said he had my fragment, so what else could I do but go?
“Your fragment?”
“Yeah. So I have to go and step on him.”
If that fragment was mine, it meant I had to get it back now that the Master had arrived.
Besides, Leo was probably trusting in that one thing alone.
He’d probably be dumbfounded, right?
“He’s out of his mind. Whose fragment does he think he has?”
“Tell me about it.”
“Understood. Then I’ll handle things on this side.”
That was true. But I didn’t know if Dara could hold out on her own.
I sneaked a glance outside.
Outside. To be exact, a massive volume of monsters was sweeping in from the direction of the sea.
The number was truly staggering, not a number that could be easily ignored.
The Mutants of Songdo were setting up a barrier wall and blocking them. But how long could they hold out?
“Still, it’s better to be careful. If he used my fragment, it could be quite a difficult battle.”
Leo was using the power he had gathered all this time in Korea.
To be exact, in Seoul and Songdo.
A truly large-scale army had flooded in.
It was a scale beyond a war. It was obvious how much power Leo had stockpiled all this time.
“Don’t worry. Magnute and I can block that much.”
“Yeah. That would be good.”
Still, you never know. It wouldn’t hurt to be careful.
“So are you going now?”
“Yeah. It’ll be a big problem if the Great Cataclysm erupts.”
In the current situation, the Great Cataclysm erupting could be considered a worse outcome than the original work.
“Have a safe trip.”
“When I return after this fight is over…”
“Don’t spout bullshit.”
“Tch.”
I was just trying to joke around a bit. Wasn’t she treating her husband too carelessly?
“Don’t they call that a death flag?”
“That’s why I was just making a joke.”
“Anyway, have a safe trip.”
I flew all the way to downtown Seoul using Kate.
It was an absolute mess.
The somewhat famous hunters in Korea, as well as the normal hunters, were all uniformly evacuating the citizens.
And monsters were covering the sky and the ground.
Right. Leo had been enduring hardships and gathering his strength all this time.
Even so, in the end, those were things that would be dealt with someday.
“Oho. If it isn’t Yu Eunha.”
“Eunha. How did you get here?”
Leo and Jinseok-i immediately caught my eye.
I couldn’t get caught by Jinseok-i here, so I had to moderate myself appropriately.
If I needlessly said that I was the Aži Dahaka Main Body, things would get complicated in many ways.
Because the image I had built up until now could collapse in an instant.
“For starters, I think I need to catch that guy too.”
“That guy is dangerous. He has a Fragment of Aži Dahaka!”
That’s why I came.
Even if I were the main body, it would be troublesome if this crazy bastard made up his mind and decided to detonate it here.
“That’s why I have to step up. There’s a Gate in the United States.”
“A Gate?”
Just in case, I had to take him there.
Leaving him here right now would only cause trouble for the citizens of Seoul.
Besides, when one looked at the situation, it was to the point where hunters, including Rebecca, had to step up, so that said it all.
“It’s dangerous if this guy triggers the Great Cataclysm here. So I plan to throw him into a Gate connected to the United States.”
At least if he was there, it would be safe even if the Great Cataclysm erupted.
Since it was a world where no living creatures existed anyway.
