Chapter 491 – Episode 490 – The Mercenary King on the Run, the Army of Fallen Monsters

‘What is it?’

Suddenly the robot stood up.

He was seriously damaged by a barrage of missiles, so he stood up when he thought he could no longer fight back. It happened so quietly that Kang-rim even felt something uneasy.

‘Something is ominous…’ .’

That ominous feeling became reality.

[… !]

[… !]

[… !]

[… !]

[… !]

Suddenly the robot started glowing red. Like it’s burning. The eye light that had lost its color also began to scatter red light. I don’t know why, but fuel started flowing like tears from the robot’s eyes.

‘Isn’t that a runaway?’

Kanglim was able to immediately figure out what state the robot was in.

‘No, why does a robot have that function?’

Why does a robot that was merely a background in the original game 〈Fox’s Grace 〉 have such a function?

Did Averis do something again? So did you gain strength that wasn’t there before?

The background ends up being just a background, why did you remodel it like that!

Kang-rim cursed inwardly at Averis, the culprit of the situation, but she was so shocked that she had no time to remain silent.

‘I have no choice but to attack quickly!’

The law is that if you go out of control, your combat power becomes too strong to handle.

I don’t know how strong I will become when I’m in a state of complete disrepair, but now is not the time to worry about that.

You have to attack before it moves.

[Don’t stand still and rush right in!]

Kangrim rushed towards the robot, and the other four monsters also rushed towards the red robot.

However, they never reached the robot.

Because they all fell before I could reach them.

‘What just happened?’

The charging monsters were defeated in an instant. Everyone had signs of being beaten.

The affected areas were different, but they were cracked or severely dented. The severity was so severe that an ordinary human would have died instantly.

Kang-rim also had a deep, horizontal wound on her upper chest.
It was embarrassing, but Ganglim knew what had happened.

‘Damn, I should have taken out the mercenary king instead of wasting my time…’

He is a mercenary king. By causing the tattered robot to run away, they were temporarily cornered.

If she had known this would happen, she should have immediately taken out the cockpit and captured the mercenary king, but this division happened because she was not careful that the robot was stopped and could no longer move.

And Kangrim paid the full price for his carelessness.

[… !]

Suddenly a robot appeared in front of his nose.

[Jeez…]

Before Kang-rim could react, a heavy blow struck Kang-rim’s face. The black monster, with her face greatly dented, fell backwards. Kangrim flew like a baseball and fell into the sea.

[Master!]

Iris was taken aback when her master was attacked in an instant. She immediately got up to save her master, but unfortunately she couldn’t go.

[Ugh?]

Because the Mercenary King chose Iris as his next target. Just like before, the robot appeared right in front of Iris. There was no sign that she had even come. There was only dust flying around. Iris was taken aback, but she immediately raised her shield to protect herself.

-Quaaaaang!

The female knight’s shield and the mercenary king’s shield collide.

A head-to-head battle between shield and shield. Victory and defeat were decided immediately upon collision.

Iris’s shield was broken in two.

[Oh my!]

Iris tried to swing her sword to strike back, but she couldn’t.

-Kwasik!

Because the mercenary king grabbed Iris’s right hand, which held her sword. While holding on, the Mercenary King gave him grip strength. The sound of his flesh being crushed and his bones breaking rang out. Iris, unable to hold her fist, lost sight of her sword.

Next, the mercenary king raised his shield in front of him,

[Aaaaah!]

The silver-armored knight who was hit squarely by the energy released from the front was sent flying far away. The breastplate completely melted.

The next person the mercenary king targeted was Teris.

[No matter how fast you are!]

Terris, who saw that the two people were hit in an instant, immediately swung the spear horizontally.

It’s so fast you can’t follow it with your eyes.

If so, let’s feel how alive this guy is. If he can feel alive, he will be able to respond!
Teris, who sensed the mercenary king’s deadly force approaching him, immediately swung his spear.

-Kaang!

In fact, Terris’ judgment was correct.

As I swung the spear, it immediately collided with the shield swung by the Mercenary King.

If she hadn’t swung her spear at the right time, she would have been the one to get hit.

However, there was something unexpected even for her,

‘What?’

The blade of the half-moon spear was broken.

Perhaps the runaway effect also affected the shield, and the decision ended with just one hit.

‘Oh my!’

Teris was agitated for a moment, and the Mercenary King did not miss the opportunity. He immediately uppercutted her with his right fist.

The jackal-headed giant soared upward, scattering her blood and flesh.

Then the mercenary king took a leap. Step on Terris floating in the air and leap again. It flew at full speed towards the next target, Stella.

[… !]

Stella opened her mouth to fire an ultrasonic wave straight at the mercenary king, but

Before that, his mouth was forced shut. The mercenary king covered his mouth with his left hand. The mercenary king beat Stella to the floor while blocking her.

-Cuguagaga River!

A deep hole appeared in the ground along with a huge explosion.

In that pit, there was a bat monster that had been beaten up a little while ago.

He was spitting out so much black blood from his mouth that I was worried whether he could fly.

Thus far, the Mercenary King has defeated four monsters.

The Mercenary King landed on the ground to defeat Tai, the last remaining tiger monster.

‘Who knows what will happen!’

As soon as the Mercenary King came down to the ground, Tai immediately rushed over.

The tiger monster exposed its sharp fangs and opened its mouth wide to bite the robot’s neck.

Immediately after, blood flowed,

[This is ridiculous…]

The tiger monster flew through the air. His lower jaw was completely torn off, and his fangs were broken.
Tai fell to the ground in vain, unable to deliver even a single effective hit.

In this way, the Mercenary King succeeded in defeating Grid’s monster army.

After the one-minute time limit passed, the robot stopped emitting light.

However, due to the impact of the runaway, the color ended up turning gray.

“That’s enough. That’s enough!”

The mercenary king who was controlling the robot was very happy.

To be honest, he was worried whether he could win even if he used reckless driving, but his worry was for no reason.
The devil and his followers were defeated in an instant.

I thought something might happen because of the prophet’s last words, but that didn’t happen. On the contrary, the mercenary king was greatly impressed by the immense power of Runaway to the point where he should have been grateful.

However, there is a price.

“We’ll finally drive those guys out… Cluck, cluck!”

Suddenly, Mercenary King Raven started coughing. Every time she coughed she vomited her blood.
It wasn’t just her mouth.

“Cluck, cluck! Oh my god, damn it. The bleeding won’t stop…”

Blood was flowing from her eyes and her nose. The sight was so eerie.

“Damn, not like this… Hmm?”

Raven, suffering from her non-stop bleeding, suddenly realized that she had no feeling in her legs.

‘No way…’

She tried moving her legs just in case, but it was no use. The Mercenary King’s legs did not move as if the front line had been cut off.

The lower part of his body was paralyzed.

“Oh shit. Are you in a wheelchair now?”

This was the price of reckless driving.

He gained the power to defeat the demons, but in return, the Mercenary King became a cripple, unable to walk for the rest of his life.

So, what happened to guild leader Elish?

“Small… “What happened to the devil, that trash?”

Elish was also extremely cruel. Blood was pouring from her eyes, nose, and mouth. Her arms were hanging down, as if the tendons had been torn, and her legs did not even move. And,

His skin was very pale, as if he had become a corpse.

“Please, someone tells me…” Did you knock it down?”

Because he had lost his eyesight, Elish could see nothing. So even though he recognized that the monster legion had been defeated, he wasn’t sure if he had really defeated it. He trembled with anxiety, wondering if he had been kidnapped.

“I knocked it down.”

Raven said to ease Elise’s anxiety.

“You won, don’t worry.”

“Well, really? “Thank goodness.”

After hearing the answer, Elish sighed in relief.

Of course, she was completely relieved.
That’s because he hasn’t been able to completely suffocate them yet.
So, be sure to kill…

The moment he was about to do that, a high frequency wave hit the robot.

“Ugh?”

“Kyaaak?”

The unexpected attack caused the robot to fall heavily backwards. The Mercenary King immediately raised the robot and looked ahead.

[Damn prophet, I can’t believe you gave me something like that.]

Grid, it was advent.

He came back to land and made a high-frequency sound. Although his face was sunken, he did not completely lose his means of attack.

[Everyone, wake up!]

Kangrim consoled the fallen monsters.

[How long are you going to lie down! Victory is right in front of you, so are you going to die here? Wake up now! Or are you going to kill me!]

Is it thanks to the master’s actions?

The monsters that had fallen began to stand up. The monsters had no choice but to force themselves to stand up because they were afraid that if they couldn’t stand up, they might be killed by their master.

Of course, Grid’s teacher, Teris, wasn’t particularly scared.

“I have to use runaway again.”

Raven opened the small window again. There was a button to activate the runaway system. The phrase I saw earlier was written the same way.

If there is anything different,

[Time limit: None]

Unlike before, there is no time limit.

‘What trick did the prophet pull again?’

Why did they remove the time limit for the second time?

Raven was curious, but now was not the time to discuss such matters.

“I’m really going to die this time, are you ready?”

Before pressing the button, the Mercenary King asked the guild leader,

“Yes, it is done.”

The guild leader answered right away.

“Okay, then…”

Let’s do the final sword dance.

The mercenary king pressed the button.

Immediately after that, the robot started glowing again. It looked as if the last flame was burning.

[Somehow take the time!]

Kangrim shouted.

[He won’t be able to last much longer. If we hold on, it will be our victory! We have to hold on to him somehow!]

The weakness of runaway is that the longer it lasts, the more likely it is that the user will fall into self-destruction. This is also an unchanging law, and according to that law, the robot in front of me was slowly wearing out. I wonder if I can endure it, but I must endure it no matter what.

If you don’t hold on, the only thing left is a bad ending!

You will never see that ending!

[Got it!]

[Yes!]

[Okay!]

[Okay!]

[Let’s try!]

The monsters strengthened their resolve at the master’s command.

[Then charge!]

The final battle for the fate of the Kingdom of Roseum has finally begun.
