Chapter 464 – 464. One Step Up

“It’s always nice to hear.”

Zhang Zhaojun smiled at the clamor of the people resounding beneath his feet.

The louder they roar and the more desperate they are, the thicker his bank account, the more workers he has, and the higher the quality of his offerings.

“More. Louder.”

Zhang Zhaojun mocked the people from above. At least it was his consideration that he didn’t kill him.

Seoul, which was blindly hated for no reason, defined as a hostile force, and destined to be invaded soon, was saved by me. Joon Jang thought.

That’s not wrong. If you think about it from Jang Jo-joon’s position, it can’t be too funny. All he did was survive a bit harder than the others, but somehow he was targeted by the North Korean People’s Army and was terrorized by Japanese survivors.

“I should have done it in moderation.”

Thanks to that, Jojun Jang has been very busy. To be honest, he just wanted to get a chance and deal with the upcoming Golden Armada quickly.

But for some reason, I couldn’t let go of it as they were touching me from all directions.

“Okay then, come soon.”

It is especially difficult to back down when Mangwijeon and Mansinjeon are involved.

Like this time

“Whoa…”

In front of him stood a dragon with blue hair. He appeared in front of Jang Joon in a polymorph state.

Again, it was a great beauty.

“You can turn into a dragon. Or do you want to be beaten in human form?”

“I don’t dare to tell you to shut up. I have heard well that you are strong, Apostle of ten thousand horses.”

“Okay? Then what about surrendering? But what if I’m sorry? The dragon meat is so delicious that you would definitely kill it if you surrendered?”

“I have no intention of surrendering. But…Would you mind waiting a little longer?”

“What?”

Jojun Jang was a bit surprised for three reasons.

First of all, the other person was a rare narrow-eyed person. He had his eyes closed, but acted as if he could see clearly.

This was very surprising. That’s right, it’s kind of cliché that all of them are strong.

‘And…’

That blue dragon was especially polite among the dragons he had met so far. Are narrow-eyed people polite? You can see that this is just practically over.

Moreover, most of the enemies I have encountered so far have shown a very intense flow of emotions.

Yes, there were a lot of people who acted according to their emotions rather than reason because they were on the verge of being searched for right away, and thanks to that, most of the conversation was about shouting and provoking each other.

However, the opponent in front of him did not show his anger. I just agreed. Recognize your weakness and bow your head. I was anxious about this.

‘And the third.. To wait? What are you waiting for? I am very curious. Is there a bigger one coming?’

He was waiting for something. And he asked me to wait for it. To ask the enemy to wait for you right away. It was a very unpleasant and unpleasant request, but I was curious.

What will happen if you wait? What did you prepare for? Maybe a bigger guy will come out and kill him and get a dope reward.

‘No, I’m a loser for now.’

Before many thoughts entered his head, Jang Jo-jun moved.

As everyone already knows, Jang Jo-jun is not the type to wait for enemies or give them opportunities just because he is curious.

Because even that is part of carelessness.

Yes, Jang Jo-jun is a human who uses special moves when a magical girl is transforming.

Although the timing was bad in the match against Raoh, he couldn’t finish his special move, but after being hit by Raoh for about 20 minutes, he improved a lot.

Dig!!!!

Jang Jo-Jun fired the abyss angler in succession and threw himself at the unknown blue dragon.

It’s never too late to have a conversation after beating the other person to death. That’s Jang Jo-jun’s theory.

“I’ll wait for you after killing half of them.”

“Also. Fighting dog of ten thousand horses…”

The blue dragon immediately turned and evaded the abyss mouth, and at the same time pulled out a spear from the air.

After that, he cut off the tentacles that Jang Jo-jun had fired. Demonstrate unbelievable aerial maneuvers. Jang Jo-jun could easily see that the opponent was an enemy who had won a victory in the air battle.

‘Also.’

Hiding your skills.

Yongjong lives through the ages. Moreover, they are the closest beings to perfection among living things.

That experience and racial characteristics should never be ignored.

In fact, it was Jang Jo-jun’s three summoned beasts, the dragon slayer Siegfried, and Hilde Duck who were able to annihilate the dragons in the black market.

At that time, Jojun Jang was busy collecting corpses while running away, but did not directly fight the dragon.

In short, he had never risked his life to properly fight a dragon.

“Kuk!!”

Kwaaaaang!!!!

Looking at his physical ability alone, it’s natural, but Jang Aim is much better. However, from a technical point of view, that blue dragon was superior.

The same goes for flying skills and the most important sense.

‘Equivalent to me.. Or higher.’

The sensory stat is unique. The difference between winning and losing is just a small difference. Of course, sensory stats aren’t everything, but the blue dragon, which had slightly higher senses than Jang Jo-jun, was never easily defeated.

‘I see… No matter how hard I try, I can’t get more than 20 minutes out of that monster. So the forest keepers should wake me up before I die.’

Blue Dragon, Darsmere broke out in a cold sweat.

‘Until the machine god wakes up… I have to endure it unconditionally.’

That’s his role.

Originally, the machine god had to be awakened by Nous himself.

The resurrected Nous should have used the deer king’s crown to put the ego of the spirit on the machine, but Jang Jo-jun ended Nous in the middle and all plans went awry.

The half-dead Nus was dragged away by Spenta Mainyu, and the Deer King’s crown he had was somehow worn by the priest of corruption.

So I had to move on to plan B. Smear, who had already heard from the giantess what would happen if he assumed the worst, was prepared to die now.

‘All that’s left now is to forcibly stuff the souls of the dead, including myself, into the vessel of the machine god.’

Perhaps a proper machine will not be born. But none of that mattered much to Darsmere.

Now that communication with the world tree is cut off, and even the dragon king and the giant are cut off, all they can do is inflict a fatal wound on Jang Jo-jun.

‘Why did the world tree disappear and the connection with the monarch suddenly lost? Why isn’t the colossus looking here? What the hell happened to our Mangwijeon?’

The question was put aside. Because the role of the blue dragon and Dasmere is to remove Jang Jo-jun from the throne of the demon king, not to question or think about it.

Darsmere was called here to give Jang Jo-jun a shot, and destroyed his chance to return to the dragon with his own hands.

Dar Smeer cannot return to being a dragon until his death. At the cost of losing his dragon form, he pushed his spearmanship to the limit.

Only then will Jang Jo-jun fight sincerely. Because he has to take his time. In order to lead Jo-Jun Jang to his destiny. Darsmere gave up everything. For the prophecy of the giant.

‘But I can’t reach that monster.’

Jang Jo-jun is a monster outside the standard.

Even Darsmere, who had lived in struggle all his life, could not find a gap in that genius.

He even mistook Zhang Zhaojun for having trained in martial arts for about 30 years.

Jang Jo-jun, who has a morbid dislike of training and training, obtained his talent with all kinds of tricks and elixirs, and made it bloom by breaking through overwhelming trials.

The more the world drives him, the stronger he becomes. Now, even the dragon who has lived for hundreds of years has become so strong that he cannot fathom his end.

“Are you just running away?!”

“Haha.. If I get even one wrong hit, I will die.”

“Come on!!!”

Da Smeer was now doing all he could to distance himself from Zhang Aim. If you get even one wrong, it’s over.

He was different from Jang Jo-joon, who grew up being beaten up to the brink of death. Darsmere isn’t that strong.

‘That dog .. You’re only dragging time.’

Jang Jo-jun realized that Darsmere had no intention of fighting properly after a 3-minute battle. He dodges here and there, only intermittently checking them, but never giving them any distance.

‘Fuck… If I take out Kisheria from here… It’s a real disaster.’

I have no intention of waiting to see what comes out.

He had to smash them all before that and instill despair in them.

[Are you not going to take it out?]

Indicron, who had been quietly watching the fight, asked.

‘Too many will die. That… Doesn’t pay off.’

Jojun Jang replied.

Just as he said, if Kissyria, Apophis, or Anax were chosen here, all the people would be torn apart.

All of his summons were filthy strong, but too difficult to control.

Kysilia, created by Indicron herself, has too much pride. He has no intention of obeying orders, and he has to pay for being called out to fulfill his true nature.

In the case of Anax, it does not judge the situation at all and only looks for the long aim.

As a result, once caught, they will be seduced until they collapse, and if they are not caught, the surrounding area will be shattered by runaway Einax, leaving little to be saved.

‘Though Apophis listens to me, though.’

Apophis itself is close to wide-area biochemical terrorism. As soon as they are called out, they will spread to the surrounding area and engage in indiscriminate slaughter. Regardless of her will. Yes, because that was her character.

‘Fuck.’

Zhang Zhaojun closed his eyes tightly. Of course he wants to summon a summoner and just wipe it all out. Because that’s the pagan way of fighting.

However, coming this far and returning without getting anything is quite painful. Moreover, it seemed that with a little more fighting, I could kill that dragon. Because of that possibility, Jang Jo-jun could not readily summon the summoned beast.

If we fight a little more, we can definitely win. Want to fight The fighting spirit boiled over.

[Whoops. It’s a little different.]

Then Indicron laughed.

There was a lot of meaning in her smile.

‘It’s… Different?’

Yes, Jojun Jang has changed a bit.

In the past, if it had been Jang Aim from at least 5 months ago, he would have already called all three summons and made a mess by now.

However, Jo-Jun Jang then and Jo-Jun Jang now were a bit different.

There is a difference between a beginner in survival who commits and watches without remorse and a full half-body who has too much to lose.

The weak who do not know how to fight are different from the strong who know how to fight.

[Okay. Well, that’s not bad either. Because a ruler has to think about many things.]

Indicron fully affirms Jang Jo-jun. After putting him to the test on the black market, Indychron came to affirm all of Jojun Jang’s choices.

He now knows that the more he tries to doubt and test, the more he ruins the existence of Jang Jo-jun. So, she expressed her unconditional affirmation.

Hehe. Since when did you have so many thoughts?]

However, Carshinax is different.

He is not afraid of being hated by Jang Jo-jun.

She is terribly self-righteous and subjective, so she knows that Jo-Jun Jang has no choice but to love her anyway.

That’s why Carshinax asked.

Since when did you fight while judging the situation like that?

[Whoops. Do what you want. Don’t be swayed.]

Botamilli just cheered.

He is a god who has had Jang Jo-joon as his apostle for a long time. So, no matter what choice she made, she had no doubts that as long as she was aiming for Jang, he would bring about the right result.

So smile. Even this moment when Jang Jo-joon was troubled was enjoyable.

The three goddesses speak. What are you going to do?

Here, Jo-Jun Jang made the choice not to bring out summons for profit.

[A thin line. Finally reached Hehe. The old folks put up with this prank. This is my specialty again.]

…Did not do it.

Someone’s intervention.

The threads that were woven into Jang Jo-jun’s fate are burned by a few strands of ‘fire’ and disappear.

“Ah. Indeed.”

At that moment, Zhang Zhaojun organized his thoughts.

My mind became clear.

It took another minute to get here.

After about 4 minutes of fighting the blue dragon Darsmere, he came to a conclusion.

“I have lost my original intention.”

Supply of slaves?

There is already enough supply and demand on the black market.

More than anything, when did you fight for all the profits?

If I was in a hurry, I had been looking for him from Kisheria.

You know that the moment of crisis will come, but do you just endure it?

‘That’s not me.’

Jang Jo-jun joined together. Since when did Mutu imitate you? Fighting spirit?

‘Before I am a martial artist, I am a heretic. And before the cultists… One survivor. That’s my original intention.’

Fighting spirit is far from survival. The root of Jang Jo-jun is survival.

He just struggled to survive in a world of extreme difficulty. The struggle was not the purpose.

“I don’t know what you’re trying to call me. It will probably be useless.”

“This!”

Dasmere’s heart raced. For at least 20 minutes, he thought that Jojun Jang would hang out with him. However, his prediction… No, the giant’s prediction was completely wrong.

‘That posture is an expression of his intention to summon monsters from the abyss, chaos, and void.’

Jang Jo-jun’s joining hands was a kind of preparation for the ultimate skill. It’s like an action that must be taken before using a special move.

‘The giant was wrong. The future foreknowledge has gone astray. From now on, it’s real chaos… I’ve heard that it’s obviously crazy about fighting due to the intervention of martial gods, but why…’

Darsmere had heard that Jang Joon had been into close combat lately.

He was told, to be exact, that he ‘got hooked’.

Okay. According to the causal law of the universe, he prophesied that Jang Jo-jun would continue to fight with him until his gijin awakened. The giant observed it and informed the result.

And several gods were involved until these prophecies came out.

From the god of war to the god of war and the telegraph.

The three non-fighting neutral gods touched Jang Jo-jun’s causality very minutely.

A really subtle intervention that no one will notice.

Maybe it’s hard to see it as an intervention.

I just added one strand of thread. So that even the executives couldn’t find out.

No, by joining hands with several executives who want Jang Jo-joon to fail.

For example, a man named ‘Al Mondo’ who loved Zerakiel.

Anyway, through the achievements of ‘The Road to Transcendence’ and ‘Cheonmu Delay’, Jojun Jang gradually turned into a martial artist.

And it was the god of war, the god of battle, and the telegraph that made these two achievements, and according to their wishes, Zhang Zhaojun gradually showed more interest in martial arts.

After all, men are bound to be attracted to struggle.

A true male cannot but indulge in the taste of fist fights.

If you have an overwhelmingly strong body, you want to use it.

Such curiosity. It is a success just by arousing such curiosity. That’s just a little thread they added.

No matter how anomalous an event may be, it will eventually be swallowed up by one gigantic flow.

And that grand flow eventually starts with curiosity or interest in something.

Of course, in order to manipulate the causal rate so that it flows in the direction they want, of course, they had to draw a big picture, and this was part of a plan that started a long time ago.

Of course, the fact that Zeke appeared in front of Jang Jo-jun as an NPC in the peddler quest.

The fact that there were a lot of non-fighting NPCs, especially in Jang Jo-jun’s group.

All seasonings to encourage such a flow. The people themselves don’t know, but if everyone was playing around, a pretty grand big picture would be completed.

In any case, since it was an environment full of martial artists, it was only natural that Jojun Jang began to show interest in fighting with his body.

Showing interest in itself is the starting point of a huge cause and effect.

There was no way that the rugged Sammashin, who was born as a god, could not notice this subtle intervention of the three non-fighting neutral gods who ascended from mortals to gods.

Moreover, it was not even Sataniel who noticed this. Neither Spenta Mainyu nor Mara Papiyas. Garia wasn’t either.

[You should play around while looking at the other person.]

The unknown god laughed.

On the other side of the black hole.
