Reincarnator – Chapter 188 : Demonic Beast (2)
A cliff.
A large amount of people were gathered around the village created by digging the cliff,
The Farmers who were working hard, the Hunters hunting around the village as well as the guards who protected the rules of the village.
And they all exclaimed out in fear as they saw the giant Satellite Fortress heading towards them from the distance.
"Oh god…"
Mackill, who had mixed into the village and was waiting for Hansoo's signal, was confused at the sight of the Satellite Fortress.
'…Why is it coming?'
The Harvester should've died already and even if they appointed a new one it was too quick.
The villagers also looked at the Satellite Fortress flying towards them with a nervous expression.
"The new Harvester shouldn't be here yet…"
"What is it?"
The people, who didn't know the Harvester had died yet, were all confused.
At that moment.
Zoom!
Booooom!
A beam of light came out from the Satellite Fortress as it shredded an area near the village.
"Uaaaak!"
"Waak!"
The people screamed as they saw the sudden assault of the Satellite Fortress.
The village itself wasn't hit but the huge jungle in front of the cliff had been turned into a raging sea of flames in an instant.
Rumble
The area the blue beam went past a tremendously deep hole had been created in a line as the beasts and trees had all been burnt up in an instant.
It was light a god smashing down onto the ground.
"What the hell! Run!"
"Waaak!"
The people finally realized that this wasn't a joke as they started to run away from the cliffside city and started to run away in all directions.
The Higher Races had played around before but never something like this.
They would all get burnt to death if they stayed here.
At that moment.
Shrrrrrrnggg!
Tens of pillars of light started to fall down with the city as the center.
At the same time the pillars of light split up as they started to surround the village.
And soon a translucent barrier had been created around the village.
Of course it was clear that it wasn't created to protect the village.
Tong!
Tong! Tong!
"Fuck! We're trapped!"
"Shit! We can't get out! Uaaak!"
"Why are they doing this suddenly!"
The people looked at the giant blue bird cage surrounding them as they screamed out.
....................
Rumble
'What a historical day.'
The Arukon, Mekmilan, made a content smile while looking at the struggling bugs from the control room of the Satellite Fortress.
'Yeah. This is the norm.'
Mekmilan ground his teeth as he thought of Clementine who had threatened him and his race with the Destruction Jade in the past.
Though they fought against each other and were wary of the other party, a group whom didn't even belong on their caliber should never have joined in their fight in the first place.
Since they would only drop the quality.
For a bug to fit in when beasts were fighting.
But for them to be afraid of a sting the bugs to the point of creating a nest for them to live on.
How did this make sense?
Those things shouldn't have existed in the first place anyway.
'Delete the 147 villages one by one first. It'll be you next.'
Of course not all the Satellite Fortresses had left since they were still wary of the other side.
The Satellite Fortresses sent out were three from each race for a total of nine.
But this was more than enough to erase the 147 villages and the tens of thousands of humans in the Green Road.
In a day there wouldn't even be a trace of them living here anymore.
'They'll come back up anyway. I'll play with them then.'
Mekmilan smiled.
Of course this was after he played around with those things caught in the cage first.
How envious had he been about the Harvester or the Inspectors.
Him, a Defender, had to stare at the faces of the Akalachias and Rebeloongs by the borders but those things played around with the livestock when they were bored and even snacked on them.
'Keheheh. I'm not envious anymore though.'
Mekmilan growled as he made a content smile.
He had to erase about 20 villages.
Since there wasn't a set time limit he could enjoy it slowly.
And Mekmillan looked at the bugs trembling with fear from one attack with an amused expression.
At that moment.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The land beneath the Satellite Fortress started to tremble.
A sound of something heavy running.
'Hmm?'
Mekmilan hurriedly spread out his sensory devices out in all directions.
The sound and the tremor was not normal.
The land all around him along with the air itself was crying out from something mysterious.
And Mekmilan doubted his sight as he looked towards the Green Road.
Since something very familiar was running towards him.
Rough fur.
Thick arms and huge thighs.
Ears that stood up along with a snout that extended out.
Along with sharp and durable teeth that looked like they could chew through anything.
The existence that was numerous kilometers away felt like it was right in front of his eyes.
There was a reason why he could see all these details despite the distance.
Since it was that huge.
'…What the hell.'
Mekmilan exclaimed out in shock as he saw a metal wolf the size of a mountain in the distance.
The image was so detailed that he was having a hard time deciphering with his own image reflected on the window.
The giant metal beast which had copied every detail of their perfect race was charging towards the Satellite Fortress, the Atillan, he was in.
A body that was over 1km tall, it was bringing hundreds of tons of mass.
Boom! Booom!
Every step caused mountains to fall and the land to smash apart.
The clouds dispersed as it shot past them.
"What a toy. Haha. What the hell…"
Mekmilan made a dumbfounded expression.
He could tell just from the vicious aura and the extended claws.
Though it looked like this race, it actually had enmity against them.
'…Smash it apart first then think.'
That moment.
Kiiiiing
The Satellite Fortress's main attack got charged up as it fired multiple blue beams out.
Towards the black wolf running towards it.
Boooom!
The clouds got split as the air heated up from the blue beam.
The 13 blue beams which had crossed mutliple kilometers in a split second started to assault the giant black wolf.
Clanggg!
Mekmilan smiled as he saw a huge noise occurring.
'No matter how big it is, it won't hold on.'
There was nothing that could withstand the main attack of the Satellite Fortress in this world.
What could they do even if they were huge.
No matter how big it was, it was but a large target if it couldn't block his attack..
But Mekmilan's smile suddenly froze.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
"What the fuck!"
Mekmilan screamed out as he saw the demonic beast which was still charging with its original speed despite being assaulted by the Satellite Fortress.
It wasn't that the attack had no effect.
The metal furs had been shaved off and parts of the skin had been pushed in like it had been hit hard.
Actually the left arm, where the beams were focused on, was moving in a weird fashion as if it had been damaged quite a bit.
It looked like it had become quite a mess but it was not something Mekmilan wanted to see.
He wanted to see it having fallen onto the ground with holes on its body.
He wanted to see the body melt down like ice beneath the sun.
That was what he imagined but the speed hadn't decreased a single bit and it was getting closer to the Satellite Fortress at a tremendous pace.
No, it was actually getting faster.
As if it had gotten confident after confirming that it could take on the attack.
"Fuck!"
This wasn't the time to waste energy on the cage around the village.
Mekmilan freaked out at the black demonic beast's charge as he gathered all the energy and started to pour it all onto the main cannon.
Soon tens of beams flew across the skies.
Boooom! Boom! Boooom!
But it was all useless.
The blue beams constantly smashed onto the wolf's body and tried to push it back but the giant wolf, which crossed mountains and rivers in a single step, had gotten up to the Satellite Fortress in an instant.
And then.
Booooom!
The giant metal claws smashed down onto the Satellite Fortress.
Clang!
"Roaarrr!"
Mekmilan screamed out from the shock that shook the entire Satellite Fortress.
He didn't know what the hell that thing was made of but it cut right through the blue barrier that had been protecting the Satellite Fortress.
Crunch! Crackle!
Soon a fight occurred between them.
Boom! Booom!
Since the damage was higher due to the close range, every attack of the Satellite Fortress caused the black wolf's body to get pushed in and cause its jointed to twist in weird angles but the demonic beast didn't care a single bit about it as it continued to rip apart the Satellite Fortress with its calws.
And soon.
Booooom!
A bright blue light from the part where the Satellite Fortress had been ripped apart.
An extremely deep and pure blue light that couldn't even be compared to that of the attacks.
Mekmilan cursed out as the Mana engine, the cause of the Satellite Fortress's power and something that used Mana crystals, appeared.
"Fucking bastard!"
He knew what the beast was aiming for.
Energy.
It had targeted the energy the Satellite Fortress ran on and had attacked it.
Crunch Crunch Crunch.
Mekmilan hurridely sent a distress signal as he looked at the giant wolf which had started to chomp down upon the mana crystal and the mana engine as if it was eating a wrapped lunch.
"Kaltouss! Akinel! Help! This crazy bastard…Why is it doing this!"
Boom! Booom!
The huge sounds of the giant demonic beast and the fortress fighting rang throughout the giant jungle and the village.
One of the people who had been running away after seeing the blue barrier disappearing suddenly shouted out
"Hey! You're doing good! Kill it!"
The people, who were usually afraid of angering the Atillan, had nothing to fear after realizing that those guys had come to kill them anyway.
"Yeah! Smash it apart!"
"Smash it!"
The people's cheers were heard by Junghwan as he clashed against the Fortress.
'Those dumbasses. I'm not doing this for you!"
Though he had gained powers beyond his imaginations, the Satellite Fortress's power was higher than he expected.
Junghwan thought of Hansoo as he felt the pain running through his body.
'Kang Hansoo. You bastard. If things don't work out the way you said then I'm going to kill you!'
Junghwan then thought of the conversation he had with Hansoo before he came here.
......................
Booooom!
A giant wolf broke out of an egg and came out onto the land.
Junghwan laughed loudly as he controlled the giant wolf's body.
A tremendously large body that could reach the clouds.
The powerful strength that felt like it could split mountains in half.
'Just wait.'
He was going to go to the Birdcage.
But the moment he was about to walk away after setting his goal.
"Wait there for a moment."
A loud shout was heard to Junghwan who had gained a surprising perception after getting all the liquid metals under his control.
Junghwan looked down from the familiar voice.
'Hmm? He didn't leave yet?'
Despite some time having been past, Hansoo, Ekidu and Karhal were still staring at him.
Well, Ekidu and Karhal were looking at him with fear but Hansoo had an expression of boredom from the wait.
Junghwan pondered for a moment and then decided to ignore.
Since he was quite busy.
Kuuuooo!
The moment Junghwan was about to ignore them and move away.
Boooooom!
A tremendous shock smashed onto the backside of the metal beast.
Junghwan looked down in rage from the sudden pain.
Chiiiiii
"I said listen before you go."
"Are you fucking crazy! Hey hey hey!"
Karhal freaked out as he looked at Hansoo who had smashed the demonic beast, who was about to actually leave, with the Akion.
Reincarnator – Chapter 189 : Birdcage (1)
Rumble
Whoooosh!
The upper body of the giant wolf, Junghwan, lowered.
Of course it wasn't hard for him to crush them by stepping on them in an instant.
But Junghwan suddenly got curious.
As to what he wanted to say so much that he attacked him, this form of his, with the Akion.
Soon a huge voice came out from the mouth of the demonic beast which had stooped over.
'If you trying to waste my time…You are going to pay for it.'
He had gained power and his suppressed goals had been remembered.
His younger sibling.
His younger sibling who had been dragged away as a sacrifice while they were searching for the village.
He himself was confident in his skills and he had to protect his sibling so he was overly arrogant and aggressive in the village but it was too late for him when he realized something was wrong.
Since the people in the village sent away his younger sibling as a sacrifice in revenge.
And it was too late after he realized he had been tied down completely after going under Meitron and Karon.
'I will find him.'
He was alive and he knew where he was.
He also knew how he was being treated.
There was no reason to not go find him.
If he wasn't curious and nervous at the same time then he wouldn't even have given Hansoo time to speak.
Rumble
Everytime the mouth of the giant wolfman moved, a thunder-like noise came out from it along with a hurricane-like gale.
Karhal and Ekidu frowned as they felt like they were in the midst of a storm.
Well, that wasn't the problem anyway.
'Fuck. Anyone can tell that he looks pissed off.'
Karhal nervously looked at the face the size of a large house.
And Hansoo replied leisurely.
"If you're thinking of going to the Birdcage then it'll be a useless death. Are you trying to commit suicide?"
He could tell from the direction Junghwan was trying to head towards.
The area between the outer regions of the Green Road and the Arukon's territory, the playground and the aquarium of the Higher Races.
Hansoo knew the moment he saw Junghwan trying to run towards the Birdcage after he gained power and the clan's symbol disappeared.
That someone precious to him had been captured and taken from him.
Junghwan stopped at those words.
Suicide.
<…>
His consciousness came back slightly from Hansoo's words.
Though he had gained a tremendous amount of strength, his opponent was not simple.
Seriously.
'…Could I do it?'
He ran the possibility of him charging into the
He realized this after being hit by the Akion.
He was not invincible.
The location he had been hit was still hurting.
The Akion, which was a bit weaker than the Satellite Fortress, was this much already.
If he were to hit by multiple Satellite Fortresses, which each shot multiple shots like this, would he be able to survive?
He wouldn't be.
No, even if he rescued his sibling what would he do?
His strength was time-limited and his sibling will die the moment he died.
Even if he rescued his brother from the Birdcage he wouldn't be able to take him to the portal at the end of the Green Road.
Junghwan started to calm down and made a despair-stricken expression.
Whooooshhh
A gale caused by a sigh came out from the giant Demonic Beast's mouth.
Hansoo spoke towards Junghwan.
"So just instead of doing something stupid, just help me. If you help me I'll take care of the rest."
<…What are you going to do?>
Hansoo laughed as he spoke.
"I'll rescue the people in the Birdcage for you."
He needed to attack to Birdcage anyway.
Since Metiron was hidden below the Birdcage.
Get rid of Metiron who will get in the way of him getting the Destruction Jade at the Birdcage.
Then activate the Destruction Jade.
"If you cause a ruckus with your huge body you'd fail but… I can do it."
<…>
"So just help me, you know right? Where they hid the Destruction Jade."
It'd be better to squeeze out the location of the Destruction Jade from Metiron but he had to prepare for a situation where Metiron would refuse to speak.
Since everything will have been useless if he couldn't find the Destruction Jade.
Junghwan nodded at those words.
He knew.
Them, together as a clan, were set up so they couldn't betray each other and so they had shared all the information with each other.
If something like this hadn't happened then he wouldn't have been able to even dream about telling anything to Hansoo.
'If this guy really activated the Destruction Jade…'
There was an actual possibility.
'…Well, I'll die too but that doesn't matter.'
If mana disappeared then he, who moved from mana, would stop and his conscious would fade as well but that didn't matter.
His soul will burn up eventually, it happening a bit sooner doesn't matter.
If somebody as big as him charged in then countless Satellite Fortresses would charge in but someone like Hansoo could get in without getting caught.
Even to Metiron under the Birdcage.
But there was a problem.
Junghwan quietly looked at Hansoo and then lifted his hands.
Then he smashed the two huge hands downwards.
Boooom!
Boom!
"Uwaaak!"
Karhal almost fell down from shock but unlike his fears, the giant hands didn't squish him flat or anything.
It was actually the opposite.
The giant hand of Junghwan was actually surrounding them.
As if he was protecting them like they were a small chick.
Of course that wasn't what was intended.
While he spoke Junghwan moved his outwards and inwards as if he could crush them at any moment.
Implying that he would kill them the moment they said something funny.
Hansoo laughed as he looked at Junghwan.
"I have a method. Oh and there's something you need to do for me."
..........................
Booooom!
'Fucking bastard! Just buy time? If you fail I'm going to fucking kill you!'
He had been persuaded back then but he started to curse Hansoo as he felt the pain from the Satellite Fortress's assault.
Since it was much harder and more dangerous than he had expected.
Booom!
Junghwan kicked the fortress pushing him from the acceleration of the mana engine as he rebalanced himself and lifted his right hand up in order to smash the Satellite Fortress again.
Boooom!
The claws that had flown high up into the skies fell down as they sliced away the surface of the Satellite Fortress.
Then.
Kiiiiing!
Countless attacks shot towards Junghwan who had become defenseless from the large attack.
Booooom! Boom!
'Fuck!'
Junghwan grinded his teeth while balancing himself.
The single Satellite Fortress was pushing him back even whilst becoming a mess in order to buy time.
It was clear to Junghwan what it was doing.
It was buying time.
But he laughed coldly.
'You damned bastard. I'm the same as well.'
Junghwan saw the Satellite Fortresses coming in from the distance, roared loudly and then jumped into the skies.
Booom!
The surrounding land trembled from the giant body jumping into the skies.
Junghwan, after jumping into the skies, used both hands to smash the mana engine of the Satellite Fortress while falling down.
Boooooom!
The hammer created from his two hands caused the entire Satellite Fortress to tremble.
Rumble!
The Satellite Fortress, which had turned into quite a mess, couldn't handle the tremendous force pushing it down as it crashed down onto the ground.
Junghwan tried to spit as he destroyed a Satellite Fortress but then realized he wasn't an living being anymore as he drove his claws into the Satellite Fortress with a bitter smile.
Crunch!
He pulled out the mana engine that was filled with mana crystals and devoured it as he refilled his used up energy.
'Fucking hell…Isn't this a bit too well made? I feel exhausted already.'
It wasn't physical.
It was mental exhaustion from controlling this humongous wolfman.
Since he could feel his soul burning up.
'I think I'll die.'
As energy refilled, the damaged body quickly fixed itself and recovered.
Suuuuurururk
The broken arm fixed itself as the metal bits that fell off flew back in and recombined onto the body.
If it had enough energy and Junghwan's soul remained intact then this monster could fight like an immortal.
Of course those two things were the biggest issues.
The body was fine but he still felt like he would fall down.
But he couldn't stop here.
Since he had made a contract with Hansoo.
'They're…Coming.'
Then.
Whooooosh!
He could see two Satellite Fortress approaching towards him from across the horizon.
It was clear that the ones patrolling around the Birdcage were hurriedly flying towards this location.
'They won't give me any time to rest huh.'
He had caused a ruckus around the Birdcage in order to pull these guys out on purpose.
Though he had achieved his goal, he started to feel a bit pressured facing two when one was hard already.
He watched the Satellite Fortresses approaching him slowly, grinded his teeth and prepared himself.
Since he needed to fulfill his part.
That was the only method for success.
'Damned bastard. You have to succeed. If not…It'll be the end of you as well.'
He thought of the prohibition that Hansoo thought of and mumbled while thinking about his sibling.
...............…..
"…Hey, are you okay?"
Karhal made a confused expression while looking at the liquid metal squirming around Hansoo's body.
The metal that had separated from Junghwan's body had surrounded Hansoo's body like armor and was constantly squirming around.
It looked like it was protecting Hansoo and it was indeed doing so but Karhal knew what purpose it had.
It was the evidence of Hansoo and Junghwan's contract.
If Hansoo did as he wanted then the liquid metal around his body will try to penetrate into his heart and brain.
Hansoo replied nonchalantly at Karhal.
"I need to at least do this much in order to make him move.
If he hadn't done this much then Junghwan wouldn't have believed him and instead would have charged into this place.
Towards the Birdcage he could see in the distance.
A 15m-tall tower that seemed tiny from the outside.
But Karhal, who had checked the intel in Dakidus's Satellite Fortress, knew.
That it was merely the entrance.
The true structure of the humongous underground structure that spread out multiple kilometers wide.
Birdcage.
One of the King's favorite resorts.
The King watched the humans the Hunting Dogs caught for him and enjoyed his time there.
Along with countless other Arukons.
Usually a Birdcage was just for watching but that giant Birdcage had many things used to play around with humans as well as using the humans as snacks.
The three races were usually hostile against each other but in there they were all quite friendly as they enjoyed their time.
One of the only locations where the three races found peace with each other.
'Anyway…For the Destruction Jade to be with Metiron.'
Hansoo mumbled as he thought of the Destruction Jade's location he heard from Junghwan.
Eres had told him how it looked like in the past but Hansoo didn't have a method of knowing where it had gone after it fell into Clementine's hands.
He had thought that they would've hidden it somewhere but for Metiron to have it in person.
'Well. That's not bad really.'
From what he had heard, the Destruction Jade was a very small object.
Even smaller than the Sealing Jade he had in the past.
Since it wasn't hard to carry it around, it was better to hold onto it so they could use it in times of emergencies.
"Let's go."
Hansoo spoke towards the Birdcage.
He just needed to kill Metiron hiding below the Birdcage and activate the Destruction Jade.
Karhal asked Hansoo at those words.
"Hey, it should be easier this time around since our opponents are humans right?"
It was hard to imagine that a human could be stronger than the Satellite Fortress or the Judge they had fought.
Though there were quite a lot of Arukons inside the Birdcage, the liquid metal around Hansoo's body was quite good at hiding from their senses to a degree so the thing they had to be cautious of the most were humans.
But Hansoo shook his head.
"Well…They aren't pushovers."
Mad Monarch's* underlings, Dark Lords.
And one of them.
Though he had the power of a lord, he was far beyond normal lords in terms of strength and thanks to the power of his trait.
Hansoo frowned as he thought of Metiron, the Dark General.
.....................….
Below the Birdcage.
Metiron, who had a extremely dark ring on his hand, frowned while listening to the reports.
'White a ruckus.'
And thousands of people were gathered around Metiron.
People who had gathered from the sudden movements of the Satellite Fortress.
Metiron mumbled after hearing the reports from Karon who had escaped while being surrounded by countless amounts of people lined up perfectly around him as if they were soldiers in an army.
"…The Maze got destroyed completely? And this is what happened afterwards?"
"Yes."
"How strange. What the hell happened there? Why are these crazy bastards trying to kill us all?"
Metiron then looked towards the Arukon laying on the ground in the distance.
A 6m large body and armor that looked quite good.
Around the Arukon, who seemed to have a high position, there were corpses of tens of other Arukons as well.
A scene that was impossible to even imagine if one thought about the differences between an Arukon and humans.
But this was the reality.
"A King shouldn't go crazy in front of us yeah? If you came to a resort then you should just enjoy yourself and leave."
"Grrr…You fucking viper-like bastard."
"If you are going to hit us from the back then do it properly like me. This is what happens when you leave loose ends."
Metiron laughed coldly as he looked at the owner of the Birdcage that they had caught, the Arukon's King.
*This was a TL mistake on my part. Mad Monarch = Gwang Goonju = Light Monarch. The korean word of ???, Gwang Goonju is how one pronounces it. I first thought it was a name. Light Monarch/ Mad Monarch were created because ? can mean both madness and light. The translation of mad makes the most sense since he's quite crazy and though he should honestly be called a Mad Lord, since Lord is the trait, I'll keep it Mad Monarch unless you guys prefer Mad Lord. Sorry for the mistranslation and I hope this cleared up some things.
Reincarnator – Chapter 190 : Birdcage (2)
Metiron looked at the King laying on the ground as he laughed.
"So…You thought we were the ones who betrayed you?"
"Kurruuk….Grr."
Metiron made a bored expression while looking at the King, who had lost all his energy from being mind controlled, as he got lost in thought.
'These guys aren't going to stop attacking anymore either.'
They had crossed the line already.
They had killed the Arukons who had attacked them first and even taken their King as hostage.
'Thank god I had this around… If not then…'
Metiron mumbled quietly as he touched the black ring on his hand.
The sensation of all the mana in his body disappearing hurt but it damaged the Higher Races more than himself.
And this was why they were laid out on the ground before him.
'Anyways…What do I do now?'
It would be nice if he could use this King as hostage but the Higher Races didn't really care for their kind that much.
'Tsk. This is going to cause the farms Clementine created to all get destroyed.'
Saving their lives weren't hard.
Since they just needed to take the Portal at the end of the Green Road.
But the farms that they had raised for over ten years being destroyed felt a little wasteful.
Metiron kicked the corpse of the Arukon by his feet and then frowned.
He didn't like them but they needed each other so they had held back for countless years and had worked together but for it to be broken apart in just an instant.
But Metiron shook his head after a brief moment of thought.
This wasn't important.
He needed decide what to do from this point.
And there was need for him to ask for a decision this large.
Though he was the director of all this, he still had a superior officer above him.
Logically, it would be better for them to back off and maintain their strength but Clementine may have different thoughts.
Oooooong
As Metiron willed.
The soul fragment in Metiron's heart started to tremble.
Towards the right arm of Clementine who should be adventuring around the higher zones with Clementine as of this moment.
Towards the owner of one of the seven soul fragments in his heart.
Since trait didn't need mana to use.
This was all he needed to report.
Since they will read his memories anyway.
'The Destruction Jade…I should take it or something. Maybe hide it somewhere.'
Metiron mumbled as he looked at the black ring on his hand.
If they couldn't use it then nobody could use it.
He couldn't destroy it since it was extremely hard but making it so nobody could use it was easy.
Metiron continued to touch the ring while waiting for orders from above.
And then a vibration rang through his head.
A sound that made his soul tremble.
"Haaa."
Metiron made a strange expression from the answer.
........................….
Booooom!
Hansoo smashed the door of the tower after reaching it in an instant.
Boooom!
Dragon Essence Blade, Body Enhancement Surgery and 100%-filled strength rune caused the front door to be smashed apart.
Whooosh
Hansoo frowned as he looked at the tunnel in front of him that led downwards.
'Why isn't it activating?'
To his memory, there was a elevator that worked with mana here.
So that people can ride it down.
It was something the Sages used but since it was now the resort of the Higher Races, it should always be working.
'Strange.'
Hansoo looked around and then threw some pores of the Pandemic Blade down.
Whoooosh!
The mana filled spores fell down the tunnel along with the wind.
The bright orange spores were easily seen even in the midst of the dark tunnel.
But at that moment.
Hooong!
As if the electricity had been cut off, the light of the spores suddenly disappeared.
And Hansoo frowned as he saw this.
'They activated the Destruction Jade huh.'
A vacuum of mana.
It was similar to the Sealing Jade in the sense that it caused the mana to freeze in a set area but the quality was different.
For it to even cause mana that came in from the outside to stop.
The inner part of the Birdcage would probably be devoid of mana.
If they controlled the Destruction jade and then activated it, this wasn't a strange scene actually.
Hansoo thought for a moment and then took off the Heavenly Wrath Armor and the Arukon's Spear around his body.
And then gave it to Ekidu and Karhal.
"Why are you giving this to us?"
Hansoo spoke.
"If it's a mana vacuum in there then I can't use this anyway. Hold onto this. And if you see anyone pop out then use this to suppress them all or push them back in."
The adventurers who come out may be able to use mana again but they wouldn't be able to come out if Karhal and Ekidu guard the door with the Heavenly Wrath Armor.
"Hey! What the hell are you saying! Then normal people can get hurt!"
Karhal, whose sibling might be in there, shouted back.
It was suppression but such a weapon like the Akion wouldn't just stop there.
Hansoo then looked at Ekidu.
"Ekidu, do you have the same thoughts? Even if way more people will die because some people escape from in here?"
"…"
Ekidu pondered for a moment and replied.
"Are you afraid of someone escaping with the Destruction Jade?"
Hansoo nodded at her words.
They would dig through the ground if they had mana but since they didn't they wouldn't be able to penetrate through the materials of the Birdcage.
This was the only exit.
Which means that if they couldn't get the Destruction Jade from the one who escapes with the Destruction Jade then they would all die.
Since the Higher Races will start a massacre with the Satellite Fortresses.
Since they didn't know the faces of all of Metiron's clansmen, they didn't know who would bring it out either.
They needed to block this place no matter what.
And Hansoo needed to bring out the Destruction Jade while Junghwan bought time no matter what.
Ekidu pondered for a moment at Hansoo's words but then nodded.
"Give it to me. I'll block them."
She felt the importance of this job.
'…I'll only stop at suppression.'
Ekidu's eyes changed.
She used the White River Demonic Art.
Emotions were erased from her face as it turned into an extremely cold one.
She hadn't lost her sanity but her emotions won't hinder her from what she needed to do anymore.
'Fuck.'
While Karhal saw this scene.
Hansoo spoke towards Karhal after handing Ekidu the Akion and Heaven's Wrath Armor.
"And Karhal comes with me."
"…Damn."
Karhal laughed bitterly as he realized the meaning behind this.
Hansoo wasn't taking him because he believed in him.
He was taking him because if Karhal remained here then he might make some horrible mistake or mess the situation up.
But Karhal shook his head.
'Yeah. Let's think positive. Him not killing me is already a gift.'
Karhal actually already felt chills from Hansoo's ruthless decisions.
Though he had helped Hansoo up until now, if he messed things up then his life would be lost in an instant.
Which meant that this was extremely important to Hansoo.
Taking him instead of killing him was already a thankful thing.
'…Help this guy as much as I can. Then save my sibling while doing so.'
Karhal gulped down his saliva and then grasped tightly onto the
.......................
Kwadudududk!
Hansoo's body fell while slashing the wall of the dark tunnel that led downwards.
Then.
Whoooosh
As they fell into the tunnel.
Hwaaaa!
The skills surrounding Karhal's body disappeared along with mana.
At the same time.
Chuuuururururk
The liquid metal surrounding Hansoo's body melted down.
Along with the metals inside him threatening his brain and his heart.
Spit
Karhal made a strange expression while watching Hansoo spit out the liquid metal and then spoke as if he remembered something.
"…Did you perhaps knew this would happen? Was that why you allowed him to lay that thing on you?"
Hansoo looked at Karhal at those words and then replied.
"Yes, the moment I heard Metiron had the Destruction Jade. Though it wasn't confirmed that he had it."
It might've been different if Meitron didn't have the Destruction Jade.
There was no way Metiron wouldn't use the Destruction Jade when the Arukon and other Higher Races suddenly attacked them.
Since it wouldn't be hard for the Higher Races to kill him and his countless clansmen if he didn't use it.
Once he entered a location where mana was frozen, it didn't matter what Junghwan casted on him.
"…"
Karhal made a fearful expression while watching Hansoo.
He had sent Junghwan to his death while knowing that the prohibition Junghwan set on him would be useless.
Just so he could get the Destruction Jade.
Hansoo took a glance at Karhal and then spoke out a few words.
"Get ready. This is the beginning. And I don't plan to break any promises."
"Huh?"
Then.
Whooosh
Wind started to come into the tunnel from below the tunnel.
And then.
"Huuuuaaak!"
Karhal freaked out as he saw the scene before while falling from the tunnel.
A giant area surrounded by darkness.
It was dark and their mana had been frozen, but the 100% perception runes still existed.
Karhal's vision penetrated through the darkness and swept the area below.
The first thing that came into his view was a semi-circular area that was a few kilometers in diameter and height.
The place they landed was the center of this place.
The second thing was the countless giant marbles that had lost their light.
They seemed like they were used as a light source and were stuck upon the ceilings but as if they had stopped working from the disappearance of mana, they had all been turned off.
The last thing that came into his view was…The chaos.
"Uaaaaak!"
"Roaaarr! The King! Where's the King!'
"These bugs! Die!"
"Fucking bitches! Die! Die!"
Though they were still quite far from the ground, the sound and the scene was witnessed by Karhal.
Karhal exclaimed out in stupor as he heard the roars, deathly screams and sounds of clashes.
"Oh god…"
It was chaos in itself.
Thousands of Higher Races who had lost their sanity and tens of thousands of humans were running around the strange structures.
But before they could get a clearer view of this place.
Puaaaak!
They fell onto the center of the lake.
Chwaaaak!
From the rough fall of the two people, they created waves on the surface of the lake.
"Puuhup!"
Though they didn't have any mana, their physical bodies were already monstrous.
Karhal came back to his senses after the land and then pushed his head out of the water.
He checked the scene again in case he made a mistake but the scene he had seen before was even clearer now.
Chaos.
Some were crawling towards the ceiling through the walls and some were hiding between the structures away from the Higher Race.
Though they had lost their mana, the physical abilities of the Higher Race were still far superior.
The Higher Races that resembled eagles, rats and wolves were massacring the humans within the chaos.
As Karhal lost his words.
An angered roar was heard from the distance.
"Kurung! Hey you bugs over there! How did you get in from above! What's the situation above!"
Kuuduk Kudududuk.
Hansoo watched the rat-shaped Rebeloong approaching them after seeing them fall down as he spoke towards Karhal.
"If you were going to save somebody from this place, how are you going to do it?"
This damned world.
Saving somebody wasn't taking care of them with love and care.
No matter how they cared for them, if they met a powerful enemy then they would just get killed.
The best method was set already.
Destroying everything that may become their enemy.
'I shall erase all of you.'
Chwaaaak!
Hansoo stood up from the lake while looking at the Higher Race stomping towards him with the Forked Lightning in his hand.
Reincarnator – Chapter 191 : Birdcage (3)
Chwaaaaak!
3rd Generation Rebeloong, Makeronia, frowned as he grasped the metal debris in his hands while watching the human who fell down from above.
'What the hell. Fuck.'
The debris created from the Birdcage falling apart was dyed in blood.
Of course not his but blood of others.
"Kuaaaaa…!"
Crunch Crunch
Makeronia chomped a leg of a human in order to relieve a bit of stress as he started to stomp his way towards the humans in the center of the lake.
"Uaaaa…"
"Hehe. Why? Do we look that easy since we don't have mana anymore?"
Makeronia laughed as he looked at the human screaming out in pain.
It was truth that the Rebeloongs were much more inferior to the Akalachias and Rebeloongs physically.
But that only applied to 1st and 2nd generation members, the 3rd generation members like him weren't that much weaker than the Arukons due to their larger number.
But killing a few bugs wasn't enough to relieve his stress entirely.
'Damn. I can't contact the Satellite Fortress because there's no mana… So this is the Destruction jade I've been hearing about huh.'
Being affected by it felt horrible.
The barrier of the Satellite Fortress that protected him had disappeared and the Destruction Beam that could set the grounds aflame did not come out either.
For him, somebody who received great treatment even out of the Rebeloongs, to become like this.
'I need to figure out the situation first.'
Makeronia finished his thoughts and then started to walk towards the humans who fell into the lake in the distance.
........................….
"Ugh…"
Karhal got up from the waters and then asked a question while looking at the rat face approaching him from the distance.
He was curious the whole time he fell down.
"What are you going to do now? We have no way of finding that small item called the Destruction Jade?"
Karhal asked with a confused expression.
If the Destruction Jade was that small then the other side could hide it anywhere in this place.
Karhal thought that there wasn't anyone below here because Hansoo had came in with such confidence.
Or that they were all trapped or immobile.
But Karhal could not understand how Hansoo was going to find a tiny object within a space where tens of thousands of people are running around in chaos.
'And it's not like we have a lot of time either.'
The inside was a chaos and there was a limit to how long Junghwan could hold on outside.
But Hansoo shook his head.
"It'll be hard with just the Destruction Jade alone anyway"
Even Eres couldn't cover the entire zone with the Destruction Jade in the past.
Like how the Sealing Jade needed a enhancement, the Destruction Jade needed one as well.
Hansoo mumbled while looking at the already chaotic Birdcage.
The Destruction Jade was powerful but it was not enough.
It might've been different if the Destruction Jade was powerful enough to stop the entire zone but it was not.
Since even Eres had run away after using the Destruction Jade in the past.
'I need to find a complementary object for this.'
Below here.
There was something below this location, which was originally designed as a research facility, that would complement the Destruction Jade.
Something created as a pair to the Destruction Jade.
'Since the two resonate…I'll be able to find the Destruction Jade if I find that.'
Hansoo finished his thoughts and started to walk away.
"We'll now go underground from here."
"What? Where?"
Hansoo pointed towards the giant rat that was holding onto seven different humans as it walked over to them from the question.
"We'll find out if we ask."
Wouldn't the original visitors of the Birdcage know that the best?
Crunch Crunch.
'What kind of rat…'
Karhal frowned.
A 4m large rat.
A mouse was a cute animal within Karhal's memories since he used to raise a pet hamster but when it grew to 4m in size, it was a completely different story.
And even more so if it held humans with broken necks in its hands.
It didn't just look like a rat standing up but rather much similar to a human due to the abnormally developed upper body muscles.
Actually, if Hansoo's body was stretched to twice his size and put on a giant rat mask then he would look just like that.
'It's a fucking crazy Mickey Mouse. It is doing an amazing job destroying my childhood.'
Hansoo spoke towards Karhal.
"Support. I taught you the sign language right?"
"Mmhm…"
Karhal nodded.
He was quite tense but he had no confidence to do anything alone in this place.
What the hell would he do in a place like this by himself.
'Follow him for now.'
Then.
Booooom!
"What the…"
Makeronia made a dumbfounded expression at the human who had started charging towards him.
It wasn't abnormal to see a human charging at him.
Since the fearless ones trapped in the Birdcage charged at him the moment mana sustaining the barriers disappeared.
But nobody had charged at him by themselves like this before.
They charged in numbers of hundreds at the least.
"Huh…"
The moment Makeronia threw away the humans in his hand and was about to smash Hansoo with his lifted right hand.
Twitch
Hansoo, who was inspecting the Rebeloong closely while charging, sent a signal with his empty left hand which did not hold the spear.
Karhal gulped at the strange movements of the hand as he sent an attack with the
Booooom!
The bowstring rang as the arrow flew across and charged towards the giant mouse violently.
To be exact it was heading towards the right side of the heart Hansoo had signed him to shoot towards.
Chwaaaa!
Makeronia scoffed as he looked at the arrow flying towards him.
Not bad.
A bug who had this much strength was within the strongest of the bugs.
But their races were still different.
He didn't have the sixth sense or the tenacity of the Arukons but he still had muscles, senses and a body that was dimensions apart in quality.
The target of the arrow could clearly be seen by him.
And he could easily dodge it.
'I guess I'll have to try a bit.'
Crunch
The moment Makeronia scoffed and was about to focus onto the arrow flying towards him.
Hansoo's eyes shone.
At the same time.
Boooom!
Hansoo's speed rose by multiple times in an instant.
The Dragon Essence Blade lined up within his body as it enhanced his body and the liquid metal of the Body Enhancement Surgery further enhanced the previous result.
Hansoo's body, which was still at a human's level, evolved even beyond the Rebeloong.
The body that could fight against Dakidus when his runes were crawling upon the very bottom had now received the blessings of 100% maximized runes as his body's strength easily rose over the limit of destroying a Rebeloong.
Makeronia, who was focused entirely on the arrow, turned around at the sudden change in noise and then freaked out at the human who was charging towards him with a speed that was unbelievably faster than what it had been before.
"You..You fucking rat!"
"Funny."
Whoosh
A painful mistake.
The human had gotten up to his face in an instant and was slashing its spear at his head.
Makeronia fell in despair as he stared at the golden spear that was flying in to penetrate his head and tried to call for his comrades.
He was acting solo because of the pride as a 3rd Generation member but as he fell into a dangerous situation, the swarm instincts within his blood had boiled up.
He was different than the Akalachias or the Arukons who lived in small communities.
They were a race who used their massive numbers of their swarm to suppress the enemy.
The instincts that were sleeping within his blood since it wasn't needed due to him not having met any powerful opponents suddenly exploded out.
"Kiii…"
But it was too late.
Crunch
The spear that was heading for his head made a strange twist as it penetrated his vocal chord near his neck.
"!!"
And as the vocal chords got cut and the spear blocked his throat, the scream that was coming up got stopped.
Makeronia freaked out as he tried to retaliate.
Since he could continue to move as long as his head remained intact.
But sadly the spear that cut through his vocal chords did not stop there as it continued to penetrate its way through.
Kwaduduk.
The spear that cut through his vocal chords dug in even deeper, smashed through his skull and stopped right in front of the brain and numerous other nerves.
"….gurgle."
The entire body of Makeronia that was about to retaliate stopped moving.
The muscles loosened up as the lower body that was supporting him started to give away.
Then.
Makeronia couldn't stand up any longer after the nerves that reached down to his body got severed as he slowly fell down backwards.
Everyone freaked out as they saw Hansoo who had turned a Higher Race half dead in an instant.
For somebody to turn that monstrous being into a retard in an instant.
And the amazement was the same to Karhal as well.
"Woah…Can't you just handle all of this once your mana comes back?"
Karhal joked around as he spoke.
For him to smash apart something that even hundreds of people had a hard time killing in an instant.
The sensation that he hadn't been in this world that long when he fought Dakidus could clearly be felt now.
Hansoo shook his head at Karhal's joke of a question.
"It's like this because there's no mana."
He didn't have a lot of skills and their mastery weren't high anyway.
Since every skill were high quality they had a much stronger might than other people but that wasn't his strong point.
The human's strongest point was the firepower coming from numerous chain activations of skills.
If a manaless Hansoo was like having his hands and legs tied, a normal adventurer without mana was like an armless and legless person.
'Well. It wouldn't be as much as these guys though.'
Hansoo mumbled as he looked at the Rebeloong twitching on the ground with its head almost cut off.
These guys were probably beyond being armless and legless and instead probably felt like a fish out of water.
'It's nice I got him before he screamed.'
This guy was the weakest of the three race in terms of one on one battle but their numbers were the problem.
He had profited since he had ambushed while it had been distracted but if his comrades came running after it screamed out then things would've turned much more tiresome.
Gurgle.
Hansoo approached the Rebeloong who was watching him in fear on the ground and then sat upon its chest.
He then asked with his fingers raised.
"What generation?"
"Gurgle…"
"If you answer well then I'll end you quick and painlessly. If not then I'll just leave."
At those words the fear in Makeronia's eyes deepened.
It was better to die cleanly here.
Since the ones who he had thrown away were glaring at him in rage and hate after realizing the situation.
'Even…Even the shit I have done to these guys alone in this place is enough…'
The moment Hansoo's fingers, which were rotating around 1, 2 and 3, landed on 3.
Makeronia used his eyelids which were still moving and hurriedly blinked numerous times.
"A third generation…"
"Wait! Don't kill him!"
The moment the rage filled voices were heard by Hansoo.
Crunch.
Hansoo smashed apart the head of the Rebeloong and stood up as if he was done here.
Karhal made a confused expression from those actions.
"Didn't you need these guys?"
Hansoo shook his head at those words.
"I don't need these things. I need the ones who lived here originally."
"The ones who lived here?"
Hansoo nodded.
1st Generation.
He needed the ancient beasts that used to live here hundreds of years ago and still continued to live here.
This place.
The beginnings of the Higher Race who had gained their strength from the Sage's research lab, the
'Parrot, rat, dog and monkey…Quite a lot huh.'
Ones who had become a new race after being enhanced so they can create the , which was the base of the Sage's power, within their own body.
'If I can attain that then…The humans would also be able to attain a sea of mana that they can use.'
Hansoo thought of his final goal.
Translator's Note : Oh shit. Dat foreshadow
Red Zone : Breeding Grounds.
Orange Zone : Steroids Factory.
Yellow Zone : Hogwarts?
We shall see.
Reincarnator – Chapter 192 : Pektoril (1)
"What are you going to do now?"
One of the seven people who had been held in Makeronia's hands, Tania, spoke towards Chen who was the person who acted as their leader.
Chen looked at the man in the distance, pondered for a bit and then looked at Tania.
"The ones who were caught with us are still hiding nearby right?"
Tania nodded at those words.
The 398 people who had been trapped along with them in Birdcage area 11-3.
The moment the mana barrier that was blocking them disappeared they had ambushed Makeronia but the result was very bad.
Because a few had been massacred in the very beginning the rest all ran away like the wind and the ones who had charged in first had been caught.
Anyways, Chen mumbled while looking at the man in the distance after being released.
'We have to follow him. No matter what.'
Though one had died the situation was still very bad.
The Higher Races were on a rampage from the mana having disappearing and the other surviving adventurers were doing everything they can in order to survive.
'But how?'
Chen fell into his thoughts.
Looking at things logically, the seven of them were baggage.
He could just tell from the eyes of the man with the bow looking at him with annoyance.
And this was the truth.
'Fuck. You're a leech as well.'
As Chen was mumbling.
A conversation was heard by him.
"We need to find the 1st Generation ones."
The moment he heard it.
Chen shouted out instinctively.
"I know! I know where a 1st Generation one is!"
From Chen's words the heads of the two, who had been ignoring him the whole time, turned around.
'Yes.'
Chen celebrated within his mind.
..........................
"Haa…Ha…"
Chen, who had been looking at the surroundings while hiding between the rubble, slowly came out and moved again after checking that nobody was around.
Karhal followed Chen through the wooden structures as he asked.
"So the 1st Generation ones are here right?"
Chen nodded as he was guiding Hansoo, Karhal and the others.
"Yes. And it's not ones but just one. There aren't that many 1st Generations around anymore."
Thousands of Higher Races had come to see them while they were caught in this Birdcage.
But even out of all the Higher Races there weren't that many that lived over hundreds of years.
Mainly three to four per race.
Of course there were even less of them who came to the Birdcage.
"I've seen one from the Akalachias here. They should definitely be here since it hadn't even been a day since they came here."
The wooden structure in the distance was a location where the Akalachias usually enjoyed their stay.
It was very likely that they were still in here.
"Hey, why are you being informal with me?"
"…"
Chen ignored Karhal's words as he focused on guiding them.
Towards a direction where they could hide from the eyes of the Higher Races the best.
'I must stay by these guys no matter what.'
He wasn't finding a perfectly safe location.
Since there wouldn't be such a place like this.
His goal was finding a place that was as safe as possible.
'At least until this chaos calms down…'
Tania spoke to Chen with sign languages.
Chen frowned at this.
'Damned Bastards. If they all charged in then… We could've won. Cowards.'
Chen grinded his teeth as he stopped his bleeding from his missing left arm which had been bit off my Makeronia.
No matter how strong they were they were still adventurers who can gained quite a lot of runes.
If 400 people charged in then they would easily be able to kill one.
But the moment Chen and others charged in, everyone else had ran away.
'I hope they all die.'
Chen suppressed his feelings as he softly replied to Tania.
Tania nodded at this.
They were being able to dodge the eyes of the Higher Race as of now since they only had nine people.
But if there were 400 people?
It would be hard to dodge the eyes of the Higher Races roaming around in rage.
'This is too smooth.'
Tania made a confused expression while heading towards their goal after having come out from the debris.
This was the territory of the Akalachias who acted solo.
But it was strange that they hadn't seen a single Rebeloongs or Arukons who were high in number.
It was comfortable but too unusual.
'…We need to check our surroundings.'
The moment Tania raised his five senses to the brim.
Kiiiing
Kiing
"…This sound is."
The extremely high voices that she hadn't been able to hear came into her ears after she focused her senses.
A special call that the Rebeloongs used to call the members of their race.
'I feel uneasy.'
Tania and Chen frowned.
....................
2nd Generation Rebeloong, Kalipso, frowned as he looked at the members around him.
Almost 900.
Since quite some time had been past since the chaos had started, it was normal for everyone to have gathered by now.
But an empty space could be seen.
"Where's Makeronia?"
Kalipso asked the others but everyone shrugged their shoulders and nobody answered.
Which meant that they didn't know.
Kalipso frowned from this.
'There's no way that he got killed by the humans or anything.'
It wasn't that the humans weren't a threat.
They had lost their mana and there were much more humans than them here anyway.
But there wasn't anyone who had heard Makeronia's call.
It was impossible for the 3rd Generation Makeronia to have died before he could use his call even if a swarm of humans came onto him.
There's only one kind of guys who can do that.
Well, two different types.
'Damned bastards, I knew this would happen.'
Kalipso tapped his protruded front teeth.
A sound that he made when he was in a foul mood.
Kaliso spoke towards his surroundings.
"You guys know why I gathered you right?"
Everyone nodded.
Since their cries meant more than just calling each other.
If the Arukons had powerful bodies and a sixth sense and the Akalachias had powerful battle strength and the ability to fly then they had insane reproduction abilities along with their destruction beams and the communication ability to utilize their numbers.
Anyways, Kalipso opened his mouth again in order to explain again.
'Strange…Our calls don't work as well here.'
"This is our chance. A very precious one."
A group's battle prowess important but a leader was important as well.
A great burden laid upon the leader in this place where they were cut off from mana.
This place was originally a place made for high ranked officials of the Higher Races to enjoy their time.
People who should have been protected until the very end if not for a chaotic situation such as this.
Such people were all trapped within these tight spaces.
"The balance has been tipped already since we found out the Destruction Jade is in here already."
The moment they found out the Destruction Jade's whereabouts, they had no reason to hold back anymore.
What they were worried about was them annoying a human and only their race being affected by the Destruction jade.
But since it was already activated like this, there was nothing to hold back.
'And we just need to kill every living in here, simple.'
And they were at a huge advantage.
"The dog heads lost their king and the Akalachias are powerful but they roam around alone, they can't fly in here anyway."
'Though I don't know why.'
In this strange Birdcage, the Akalachias couldn't fly and the Arukons couldn't utilize their Sixth Sense.
And they couldn't use their cries to call each other that well either.
It seemed like the 1st Generations knew something but they didn't say anything.
'Well. We can just ask after we go out. Or ask those parrots before they die.'
Kalipso laughed coldly as he thought of the 1st Generation over at the Akalachia territory, Pektoril.
"The only ones who survive in here…Are our race."
Going against the two races who have lost their leaders would be very easy.
One of the 3rd Generation member, Amedos, asked.
"Then what about the humans? There are too many for us to ignore."
They were in an advantage, the vicious Arukons and powerful Akalachias were no pushovers.
They didn't have the strength to fight the humans at the same time as well.
Kalipso laughed coldly at Amedos's words.
"We can't ignore our precious resources. Let's just play the game we usually play. The war game."
"Keke. Then I shall play with the guys at the 1st region."
"38th region for me."
The other Rebeloongs made amused and excited expressions at Kalipso's words.
.........................
Booom!
"Fucking hell!"
Karhal saw the adventurers causing a ruckus as he made a dumbfounded expression.
"Kill it!"
"Damn! I'm the one who killed them!"
The humans were killing each other.
They were fighting each other with a headband that had strange symbols on their head.
'Are they crazy?'
They should be hiding quietly or trying to strike the Higher Races but why the hell were they killing each other.
And from the way they were moving they weren't doing in a urgent manner either.
They made formations and stayed true each person's roles and acted very naturally.
As if it was very familiar to them.
Karhal spoke towards Chen guiding them.
"Hey! Why the hell are those crazy guys doing that."
This wasn't a survival game or anything, why the hell were they fighting with those headbands.
"Oh yeah…You came from above. You shouldn't know then."
"What?"
Chen clenched his teeth and mumbled.
"It's a game. A war game."
The administrator of this game was the Higher Race.
The pawns of the game were humans.
The rule was simple.
The 400 man people of different regions will kill as many people as they can and take their headbands.
When the timer ends the region with the highest number of headbands would be victorious and the owner of that area won.
Though they had lost their mana and had been freed, the difference in rankings still existed.
Mana will come back eventually and they will face the judgement of the Higher Race.
It was obvious that they followed the orders of the Higher Race.
It wasn't weird either.
Since they had lived like this ever since they got trapped in the Birdcage.
Chen had tried attacking because he hadn't been here for that long.
'Damn. They made a game in the midst of this chaos?'
Chen grinded his teeth while looking around.
Moving around in a small group in order to not get caught by the Higher Races would actually hurt them in this situation.
They couldn't dodge the eyes of that many people.
Chen shouted towards Hansoo in despair.
"Since it happened like this. Let's go over there as well!"
"What?"
As Karhal made a dumbfounded expression, Chen made an annoyed expression.
"Then what? You want to go through that thing?"
Chen then pointed towards the vicinity of their target.
And Karhal spat on the ground as he saw where the finger was pointing towards.
"Fuck…It's busy enough fighting those monsters but we have to kill the humans as well?"
For them to kill humans in order to kill the beast.
Hansoo and Karhal frowned as he looked at the adventurers swarming towards their direction from the Akalachia's territory.
.....................
"These rat bastards. I knew you would do this. Those guys excel at betrayal."
A giant bird with a height of 10m mumbled as he looked at the Rebeloongs and humans charging towards him from the distance.
He was a bird but just like the Arukons and Rebeloongs, the muscular humanoid lifeform was closer to a human with a beak and wings than a bird.
'Well whatever. Since we needed to be closer to a human's shape in order to receive the remodeling surgery of the Sages…'
Akalachia, Pektoril, thought of the things that had been done to him hundreds of years ago as he stared at the Rebeloongs charging towards him.
The ones who had betrayed the Sages first hundreds of years ago were these Rebeloongs as well.
'Good. I shall wipe you all off this time around. Come. I shall smash you one by one in order.'
Pektoril moved up the units in his area and squirmed the muscles in his body as he mumbled.
Reincarnator – Chapter 193 : Pektoril (2)
Karhal and Chen gulped down their saliva while they looked at both sides.
Tens of thousands of people were approaching them from both sides.
'Fuck…We're right in the fucking middle of the battlefield.'
Well they were indeed going from the Rebeloong's territory into the Akalachias so this was obvious.
Though they were within the debris and rubble, they would definitely get caught once the chaos begins.
Chen tried to persuade Hansoo.
"Damn. Let's stick to the Rebeloongs! My owner is quite quite a generous one even out of the Rebeloongs! Kaliso…We will receive good treatment if we have great achievements in this fight!"
Rebeloongs treated them as toys usually but their rewards were very good as well.
Kalipso often gave good weapons and even runes to the toy that did the best in the war game.
They were even able to get women if Kalipso felt good.
To them, whose sexual activities were suppressed because Kaliso didn't like to see erections, a chance like this was a chance given by heaven.
'Actually, this is good.'
Chen mumbled inwardly.
The guy in front of his eyes did indeed kill a Rebeloong but what could he do against that many of them.
There was no hope.
Even if they survived here, the area above would even be a larger hell than this anyway.
A hell where Satellite Fortresses roamed around and killed humans.
It was actually better to just stay as the pets of the Higher Race and live while receiving their care.
Since they didn't need to fear them in here at least.
Karhal looked at Chen with a disapproving look and then shook his head.
This guy wouldn't have been like this from birth.
This damned environment had changed him probably.
At that moment.
Hansoo, who was looking at both sides, asked Chen.
"What's the reward for the most kills?"
"Huh? You're going to listen to this lame-o?"
"…"
Chen looked at Karhal with a hurt expression.
...............…
'Damn…'
Romilan, the team leader of the 3rd area standing in the front, gulped down his saliva while looking at the Akalachia's army that was getting closer to him.
Both human armies had bloodthirst aimed against each other but their heads were filled with something else.
It was actually the exact opposite.
Fear.
They had fear against the humans coming to kill them.
Since quite a lot of them would die once they clash.
And there was no rule saying that they wouldn't be a part of those deaths.
But there was an even bigger problem behind them.
Even before the clash occurred.
Boooom!
Loud booms were heard from the back of where the nervous people were marching forwards.
The people gulped down their saliva after being shocked at the sound and turning around to check.
Since they knew why the sound occurred.
"Uaaak!"
"Kuuhuk!"
A sound of a human being kicked away by the giant Rebeloong.
The joints of four humans got twisted and bones broke from a single kick.
Just from the reason that they fell behind a bit.
"Hey you bugs! You have to kill at least one per person! Understand? One per person!"
"Uahahahaha! The ones in the back will be in a bigger danger!"
Boom! Boom!
The hundreds of Rebeloongs in the back were administering their respective areas as they continued to herd the humans forwards.
The movie like scene where 4m tall giants, being armed like generals, marching in hundreds was quite a spectacle.
If it wasn't for the fact that they weren't fighting in the front but rather approaching them from the back.
"Uhuk!"
"Kuhuk!"
Boom! Boom!
Though there were tens of thousands of humans, they couldn't even dream of retaliating as they continued to push towards the humans on the Akalachia's side
And it was the same on the other side as well.
The people grinded their teeth as they got pushed right in front of their opponents.
'Fuck…Since I've come this far I might as well!'
The people tightly clenched onto the weapons in their hands.
At the same time they reminded themselves.
That this was just a game.
They just needed to do what they usually did.
Soon.
"Kill them!"
"Uaaap! 13th area! We will kill the most!"
The people started to aggressively swing their weapons towards their opponents.
They didn't have the mana that usually swirled around their bodies but this did not matter.
Since it was the same for the other side as well.
The only thing that was needed to take the lives of their opponents was not mana but rather a sword and a body to swing that sword.
Clang!
Swoosh!
Swords of swords being swung.
At that moment a loud voice was heard from the back.
Kalipso's shout.
"Those who are not fighting diligently will die! Five per person! You have to get at least five! Ones without five headbands will die!"
As they heard this.
They cursed while fighting.
The enemy had similar numbers to them.
How the hell would they get five per person.
But they realized that they shouldn't be worrying about such a thing.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A tremendous noise.
A loud noise was heard from behind the Akalachia's army.
Much louder than the footsteps of the giant Rebeloongs behind them.
Then.
Booom!
"Hahaha! You rat bastards! Isn't it boring hiding back there?! What are you trying to do with these things! Come out here!"
"Kuhahaa!"
Giant creatures that came out through the giant wooden structures and above the human army.
Kuoooooo!
Giant half bird half man creatures who were covered in golden feathers over their entire body cried towards the Rebeloongs.
The feathers that seemed more like metals rather than being soft.
And the Akalachias who had such feathers covering each and every part of their skin was closer to a golden man than a human with feathers attached to them.
If they didn't have wings, beaks and claws instead of feet then one would easily mistake them from a distance.
And such things towered over 10m tall and walked past the humans.
Their numbers were much smaller compared to the 900 Rebeloongs.
Maybe a few tens.
But the scene of the terrified humans moving away in waves every time these 10m tall golden creatures moved didn't lose out to the might of the 900 Rebeloongs.
2nd generation Rebeloong, Kalipso, frowned as he watched the Akalachias approaching them while disregarding the toys on both sides.
'That…Is a bit too hard to deal with these bugs.'
There was a limit to how much you can peck at things.
Who would be willing to rush into their deaths.
And as the giant golden creatures were approaching them, the terrified ones were already running away instead of fighting.
Since they would instantly die even if they got slightly touched by their foot.
'Fucking bird brains. You should head out after the numbers of these bugs dwindle a bit. Sigh, damned bastards with small brains.'
Kalipso looked at Pektoril who was walking towards them from the very front.
These guys were quite stupid compared to them since the sizes of their brains were similar to theirs despite their size.
The most optimal situation is fighting after the number of humans having been dwindled from a fight but for them to start the fight already,
But since it had started already, there was no need to delay the fight anymore.
Kalipso held onto his front teeth and applied strength onto his hand as if he was trying to crush the teeth.
At the same time.
Pudududuk
'Kuaaaaa….'
Kalipso's front teeths got pulled out by the roots.
Kalipso withstood the pain and held his front teeth like daggers as he stared at the golden birdmen approaching him from the distance.
The front teeth that was harder than the golden feathers of the Akalachias, sharper than the black claws of the Arukons and had the hardness to even withstand their own destruction beams.
A primitive battle strategy used by their ancestors that they hadn't used ever since they fought against the Sages and absorbed their technology.
But since they didn't have mana, in order to kill them he needed to at least this much.
'Fucking birdbrains. Let me kill you.'
Kalipso frowned from pain and rage as he cried out in rage into the skies.
Kiiiiiiing!
The moment the cry rang out.
Crunch
Puudududk
"Kuuk…"
Kalipso's comrades pulled out their front teeth and started to walk through the toys.
Towards the birdbrains approaching them from the distance.
"Fuck! Don't get in the way and just get lost!"
"You heard before right! Five! It's five! Make sure you keep the headbands well!"
Boom!
Crunch!
The Rebeloongs were agitated from the pain of pulling their own teeth out as they started to kick away the things getting stuck around their feet and continued to charge forwards.
And the people who couldn't reach because they were focused on the enemies in front of their eyes got kicked high into the skies by the Rebeloongs; march.
"Fuck!"
"Uaaaak!"
Soon.
Booom!
Boom!
The giant birdmen and rat-like humans started to clash.
Right above the heads of the humans.
"You rat bastards! Let us dry your seeds today!"
"Uaahahaha! You won't even be able to fly away today!"
The Akalachias swung giant golden spears made from melting down their golden feathers from the mana engine of the Satellite Fortress as they charged towards the hundreds of Rebeloongs.
Boom!
3rd Generation Rebeloong, Amedos, laughed as he looked at the Akalachia charing towards him, Mekido.
They usually enjoyed the Birdcage together.
But that was now all over.
"Die!"
Booom!
The other 2nd and 3rd Generation Rebeloongs held up their front teeth like daggers and started to stab away at the Akalachias along with Amedos.
"You rat bastards!"
Whooosh!
Amedos gulped down his saliva as he watched Mekido charge towards him while swinging the giant golden spear.
A tremendous speed that he could not even dream of having.
Since their body sizes were over double theirs, it was still extremely difficult despite their numbers.
But they wouldn't just sit idle.
'Nope!'
Amedos reached out his hand and lifted up a few humans around him.
The hand that was much larger in terms of ratio to the body held up four people at once.
"Uaaak!"
Amedos ignored the screams coming from his hand as he backed away and threw the humans towards Mekido.
Whooosh!
The humans flew into Mekido.
Well, into the trajectory of the spear.
Slash!
Crunch!
"Uuhuukk!"
"Ahhhaaak!"
Mekido's spear cut through the waist and chest of the three as if his spear was a hot knife cutting through butter.
'Fuck.'
Mekido frowned as he slowed down the speed of the spear and thankfully Amedos was able to dodge the blade of the spear flying past him.
And Amedos made fun of Mekido because of this.
"Hahaha! You birdbrains! Why are you being so nice to these guys? Did Pektoril tell you to be nice to them because of the days when he used to be their pet?"
Amedos made fun of them.
Amedos was born after the victory against the Sages so he had no memories of living with them.
Actually he didn't even want to hear such a shitty part of their history so he didn't even listen about it.
But those birdbrains continued to spread and transmit it against each other as if it was a good memory.
'Fucking dumbasses.'
Mekido clenched the spear in his hands from those words.
"Hey you rat bastards. I'm not being nice to them. I just don't want to dirty my spear with the blood of these things."
"Hoh? Is that so? Then have fun! Hahaha!"
Amedos playfully swung his right hand where he held his dagger and then grasped another batch of humans with his left.
"Aaaak!"
"Uaaak!"
Of course they weren't going to be used for a good cause so the humans in his hand screamed out.
'Fucking bastards!'
The humans in his hand cursed out at him.
But they couldn't resist.
Since they would get crushed the moment they did.
'Please…Let me survive the spear!'
Amedos saw the people closing their eyes without resisting with joy and then shouted out loudly while swinging his arm widely.
"Hahaha! Get away from here and kill! Don't stay dawdle around here and go get points!"
The moment Amedos shouted those words out.
A voice was heard from his hand.
"How many points are you?"
"What?"
From the sudden voice Amedos forgot about how he was going to throw the humans towards Mekido and instead looked at his hand.
A single human was staring right back at him.
"What the hell…"
As Amedos was about to crush them.
Kaddddduk!
"Kyaaaak!"
Amedos screamed out.
Since something sharp had cut his hand.
'Fucking bug!'
As Amedos was about to check his hand.
Booom!
Something exploded towards Amedos's eyes.
'Block…'
But Amedos's thoughts stopped there.
No matter how big Amedos was, the distance from his hand to his head was only about 2m.
Crunch.
The thing that had flown out from his hand penetrated the space between his eyes.
Booom!
"Huh?"
Amedos fell back without even being able to scream and created a giant dust storm.
From this sight the Akalachias swinging their golden spears and the Rebeloongs surrounding those Akalachias with their daggers all stopped in shock.
Even the humans who were running away from the battle of the giant beasts.
Kwaduduk
Crunch
Hansoo pulled out the golden spear that penetrated into the skull of Amedos, Forked Lightning, and laughed coldly.
"Let me join as well. Anyways, is this guy one point as well?"
"Woah…"
The surrounding people were all shocked as they watched a black armored human stepping onto the head of Amedos.
Boooooom! Booom!
Metiron heard the vibrations coming from above and just shrugged his shoulders.
"Wow. Such beasts. They clash the moment we set it up for them."
Though they weren't able to go up since the Arukons would be searching for them with flames in their eyes but they could tell just from the sounds.
Metiron stopped listening to the noise as he shouted around him.
"Almost done?"
"Yes"
"Anyways, why did the sages not use this when they had this. Hurry up. The rest prepare to get out."
The giant circular door on the floor.
Metiron hummed as he saw Karon and the other clansmen working on the giant door that was easily 500m in diameter.
Reincarnator – Chapter 194 : Pektoril (3)
Hansoo grasped the spear in his hands after crushing the skull.
He then cut the neck of the Rebeloong laying on the floor.
Kwadududuk
The head and the neck got severed from the golden blade of the spear.
Puushuk
Hansoo stabbed that head with his spear and lifted it high into the skies.
After the height of the 3m long spear got combined with Hansoo's height, the top of the spear was 5m high from the ground.
High enough that humans, Rebeloongs and even the giant Akalachias could see.
Hansoo asked after lifting the Rebeloong's head high enough that everyone could see.
"I asked how many points?"
The Rebeloong, who had been treated as gods and hadn't died in decades, was held high with only its head.
By the hands of a human.
From this unusual scene, everyone stopped fighting and stared at the head of the Rebeloong high up in the air.
At that moment.
A loud voice was heard from afar.
"Haha! A human has some skill. Hahaha! Shall I give 100? No 100 is a bit too little. 500! It should at least be 500! Hahahaha!"
One of the Akalachias who was watching this peculiar scene started to laugh out loudly.
Some of the Akalachias laughed along with him from those words.
"Hahaha! 500! Isn't 500 too much?"
"500 for just a rat? Then doesn't it mean that rat was worth 500 humans? You think those rats can handle 500 of these humans?"
"But since it's a first 500 seems right. Let's do 400 from here. No, 400 is too much! Let's make it 300!"
"Hahahaha!"
All the golden birdmen who were fighting in the vicinity started to laugh.
As if they had forgotten the situation they were in.
It was obvious.
Look at the expressions of those rats.
They had become like this because the neck of one of them had been cut off by a human and it had now become a scene for everyone to see high above.
'Even if he aimed for an open chance with luck, it's still nice.'
Would a Rebeloong only kill 300 humans and die.
This made it even better.
The Akalachia's leader, Pektoril, looked at the human with a content smile.
If they, the Akalachias, became like that?
Then it was better to suicide before their necks got cut off from the human's spear.
'Haha. That wouldn't happen.'
Pektoril decided not to think about useless things as he watched the human in the distance with a content expression.
"Good job human! What wish shall I grant you? Runes? No, you wouldn't need runes. Artifacts? Or women? Shall I give all the humans here to you? Just say it. We'll grant it to you after we crush those rats. Hahaha!"
The golden spears hit each other all over Pektoril's body as the sound rang throughout.
A scene which happened when he was extremely happy.
This noise resonated throughout the entire area and entered the people's ears.
And Hansoo chuckled from those words.
"There was something I wanted from you actually."
And Karhal flinched from those words.
He knew what it was.
The tunnel to the underground.
The tunnel only the High Race who used to live here knew.
It was clear that this was what Hansoo was going to ask of the Akalachia.
'Is he…Going to just leave after hearing that?'
Karhal flinched.
It wouldn't be strange from the attitude he had until now.
Since the amount of those who would die would be astronomical if he failed here.
People who had been captured and brought here over numerous decades from the villages and the Green Road.
And there were at least few hundreds of thousands of them here.
It was still this much after the deaths, injuries and dying after being played around by the Higher Race.
It was not a low number.
Actually it was an astronomical number.
But if he failed here then at least millions of people from the villages and the Green Road would die.
And then?
The people coming up from below would continue to get captured and killed.
Which means the number of casualties would go up to tens of millions.
That was what Hansoo was trying to accomplish here.
'Holy god. What kind of burden have you shouldered all by yourself…'
Karhal was shocked while counting the numbers.
Tens of millions.
Karhal lived in the United States and he had never even touched money at that scale.
Dollars on the scale of tens of millions.
Karhal was an ordinary civilian and he had never even touched such an amount.
No, he hadn't even touched a hundredth of it which would amount to ten million cents.
Could the worth of a human only be a single cent.
He then realized the number of casualties from the failure of this mission.
Even if hundreds of thousands die here, if he succeeded here then it would be a profit for him.
A great success.
Hansoo spoke towards Pektoril.
"There was something I wanted to hear from you originally but my thoughts changed."
"What?"
The clings and clangs coming out from Pektoril's body stopped from the confusing words.
Which meant that he had started to feel annoyed.
Hansoo left behind a single sentence towards Pektoril.
"I'll be able to find it if I just kill you all and search the bodies of all these people."
Hansoo looked around the surroundings.
'Eres. I've been next to you too long. If it was Keldian then he would've left everyone to die and dealt with the Destruction Jade first.'
Actually more than anything, he himself was a bit pissed.
Kuududuk.
Pektoril mumbled dumbfoundedly as he watched Hansoo grasp the spear.
"Haha. Look at this insolent bastard. You were a rat as well huh."
The moment Pektoril finished speaking.
Kwaaaaaaaang!
A giant golden spear slashed the surrounding.
Slash!
Kwaduduk!
The bodies of the humans got split up and broke apart.
"Uaaak!"
"Huuuk!"
The people around started to freak out from the sudden massacre as they started to back off.
The Akalachias who were ignoring them up until now had started to attack them, of course they were shocked.
The Rebeloong's leader, Kalipso, started to laugh after watching the sudden change in the Akalachia's actions.
"Kyaaha! Hahaha! Yes! This is right! Damn bugs!"
His original plan was to decrease the numbers of the humans before they fought.
Since the humans might attack them after they become a mess from fighting the Akalachias.
They couldn't ignore the numbers of humans.
But he had feeling a bit uneasy because those proud and brainless bastards were acting stupidly but for them to do the job for him.
Kalipso stopped laughing, put Pektoril behind him and started to crush the humans.
Crunch!
Uuududuk!
"Uaaak!"
"Kuhuuk!"
The Akalachias and Rebeloongs who were fighting each other started to attack the humans near them.
They only had one thing in their mind.
To make the insolent bastard regret it.
In just a moment hundreds of people died out.
Kalipso looked at this scene contently and shouted towards Hansoo who had yet to put down the spear.
"Hey you bug! How is it? If it wasn't for you then these guys wouldn't have died like this right? A single death of our race is heavier than hundreds of thousands of yours! Hahaha! This is all because of you!"
Kalipso's shout rang throughout the Birdcage.
The moment people, who were running away from the Rebeloongs and Akalachias, heard that sound and looked at Hansoo.
Hansoo replied to Kalipso with a cold laugh.
"Try it."
"What?"
"Show me your backs you rat bastards."
At that moment.
Booom!
Hansoo flung the head onto the air and then charged onto the nearby Rebeloongs.
He then smashed the Forked Lightning onto the Rebeloong who was stomping onto other humans.
Boooom!
"Kyaaaak!"
Rebeloong, Galkipos, twisted its body to defend from the sudden assault and used his front teeth to block the attack.
The extremely hard Rebeloong's front teeth.
But the moment it blocked Hansoo's attack.
Crack!
The teeth cracked as it trembled as if it would break apart.
'How the hell is this bug so fucking strong!'
Galkipos freaked out after stomping a human.
This small bug was stronger than an Akalachia.
The moment Galkipos flinched from the sudden sensation he had never felt up until now.
Whooosh!
Hansoo left behind the spear, charged onto the body of Galkipos and then slashed his fingernails ionto Galkipos's neck.
Crunch!
"Kerekk…"
Hansoo's brute strength, which could even smash apart the walls of the maze, penetrated through the neck and pulled out the spine.
Hansoo threw down the Rebeloong, whom had died in just an instant, grabbed the Forked Lightning and the Front Teeth from mid air and started to charge towards the next Rebeloong.
Towards the one who had frozen in place after turning around after hearing the scream from his behind while he was ripping apart a human.
Kwaaajajajak!
"Kyaaaak!"
Hansoo soon started to run around from place to place after the Rebeloongs.
He smashed down with his spear and crushed them with his hands the moment he got close to them.
Hansoo continued to smash the skulls and pull out the spines while roaring.
Kwaaduduk!
Uduk!
"Fucking bastards who play around all the time! You have no mana right now!"
"Kyaaak!"
Ududuk.
Crunch.
"But you show your back?"
"Kyuaaaak!"
Padddduduk.
"Keep doing it then!"
He was careful at start but he knew now.
Since his physical capabilities had caught up.
There was nothing for him to fear.
The only thing remaining was battle skill.
PeopleOnes who trusted in the Satellite Fortress and played games with humans showing their backs to him?
To him who had fought with opponents who couldn't even be compared to these things for decades?
'Fucking pets. I shall show you the true jungle.'
Uuududuk!
Hansoo pulled off the head of a Rebeloong, threw it onto the air and laughed.
"How many points now? If you calculate 300 points from after the first then 3500 now right? How many points are you?"
Hansoo asked while watching the Akalachias and Rebeloongs who had even forgotten about massacring the humans and were backing away.
Strength was flowing through his entire body.
Stamina was overflowing.
His aura exploded out as all his senses woke up to their fullest.
'Finally I feel as if this whole thing is worth it.'
Hansoo thought of the conversation he had with his friends in the past.
'Kill them all? I was going to anyway.'
The most primitive and overwhelming strength could easily push down every luck, plans and even the masses.
The Otherworld was such a world.
A place where a single person could get stronger without limit.
"Keep chasing!"
Booom!
Hansoo roared out loudly as he jumped towards the next Rebeloongs and Akalachias.
"Huh."
Metiron put his ears onto the ceiling and exclaimed out.
He could tell without seeing it.
He could feel it.
Metiron whispered towards the fragment of seven souls within his mind.
And as if it was replying to Metiron's words, the fragment of seven souls started to tremble.
