Chapter 365 – How to Block Pits (1)

“Kheheh!! Khehehe!!”

It’s not the sound of a tiger that Hajin caught.
It was the sound of Kwon Joo-hyeok snoring, who had fallen asleep.
But for a while this roar…

Dadadadadak!!!

Lia, who came running with the sound of urgent footsteps, grabbed the collar of the sleeping Joo-hyeok Kwon and shook him.

“Brother! Wake up!! Brother!!!”
“Ugh!!! Wh, what’s going on?!”
“What is it! They say you’re being pushed now! We have to go quickly!”
“Ah… By the way, what time is it now?”
“Four o’clock!”
“… I slept for 30 minutes..?”
“I don’t have time to be like this!!”
“Go! I’m going!!”

Kwon Joo-hyuk’s face was full of fatigue as he went out to fight again 30 minutes after closing his eyes.
However, it was not limited to Kwon Joo-hyuk.
Everyone was tired of the endless battle.

“Cadet..!!”
“Uncle Hoyle! Are you okay?!”
“I’m fine, so go quickly..! The guys who came out this time are not kidding..!”

At the words of Choi Ho-il, who suffered a wound so deep that his shoulder blade was exposed, Kwon Joo-hyuk began to run even busier.

“Whoa… It’s really no joke…”

Arriving at the front line beyond the outer wall, Kwon Joo-hyeok looked around and frowned at him.
It was because monsters close to the level of generals were stirring the battlefield everywhere.

“I will kill him! Step back and rearrange!”
“Joo, Joo Hyuk!!”
“Request!”
“Be careful! He’s a pretty strong guy!!”

In the fight that has been going on for a week already, the power of not only Altona but also Melbourne as a whole has gone up considerably.
Most of them have raised their stats to the end, and their characteristics are constantly growing as they deal with successive generals or generals and kings.
However, the situation did not improve, but rather became more difficult than at the beginning.
No matter how strong their stamina was due to their stats and characteristics, those who could not properly rest, eat, or sleep in the series of battles were physically exhausted, but were crumbling mentally.
In such a situation, the reason why people could endure at least was the existence of Altona’s core forces, including Kwon Ju-hyuk, and the strongest fighters fighting to the death in other regions.

Wheeik!!!
Kwaaang!!!!
Deed deed deed!!!!

“Oh ahhhhh !!!

The monster that pushed away Kwon Ju-hyeok, who had lifted his shield by swinging his giant tree-like arm, roared as if to announce his strength.
However, Kwon Joo-hyuk lowered the shield he had lifted and bent his neck from side to side and smiled.

『Shield of God (SSS) – Strength +200%, Speed ​​+200%, Stamina +300%, Defense +500%, Damage Absorption +50%, Absorbed damage converted to Attack Power.』

James’s shield of God.
However, this was also a trait Kwon Joo-hyeok acquired as he grew up with the Golden Shield, which was a sub-speciality.

“You ate well, you son of a bitch!!!”

Kwon Joo-hyeok, who absorbed part of the monster’s attack power and added it to his own attack power, ran forward with great vigour, but he did not need to add even the monster’s attack power.
Because the attack power was enough.

“The Blow of Destruction!!”

Whoaaaaa!!!!!

A huge hammer that falls on the monster’s head.
Until two days ago, Kwon Ju-hyeok used a battle ax and shield, but now he has added a huge hammer to it.
It was either the fist that best suited the characteristics he was using or the hammer he was hitting right now.

“Aagh!!!”

The monster must have sensed that it was an unusual attack, so it raised its thick arms and covered the top of his head.
And the moment the hammer, which had been falling with furious force, touched the raised forearm of the monster.

Aaaaa!!!!!

The monster disappeared with a tremendous roar.
And in its place, a huge pit had formed.

“I’m messing around about nothing.”

『Smash of Destruction (SSS) – Strength +1500% when used, ignores defense by 80%. Cooldown 10 seconds.』

A seemingly ignorant trait that increases strength by a whopping 1500% and ignores 80% of defense.
However, the scary thing about this trait is that it is a trait with pure power that has never been fused with other SSS classes.

“By the way, where are these kids and what are they doing?!”

Kwon Joo-hyeok, who dealt with a monster that was stirring the battlefield in an instant, looked around and started looking for the elementary school commando.
It was because he had switched with the elementary commando 30 minutes ago and went to sleep.
On the other hand, the Elementary Commando, who exists somewhere on the battlefield…

“Wujin Sword Method 1.”

Swoop-

Suddenly, No. 1 holds the form like the protagonist of martial arts and raises the sword he was holding with both hands in front of him with the sword lying horizontally.
And the monsters rushing towards No. 1.

“Haa!!!”

Standing up and down!!!!
Quagga gagagak!!!!

Dozens of monsters were cut in two by the swinging blade, and even so, as if the end wasn’t over yet, the intangible energy emitted from No. 1’s sword pierced the floor and passed through the layered monsters.
At first glance, it looks like a martial arts master who has reached the unification of new swords, but he just wielded a sword containing intangible energy.
And the 1st formula of Ujin’s sword method named after himself…

“Baby while fighting. Kreureung..!!”
“Wake up!!!”
“Ahh!!!”

No. 5, who swung the knife once and kicked No. 1’s butt while standing and snoring, stared blankly at No. 2 and No. 3, who were acting strangely.

Pod! Pod! Pod! Pod! Pod! Pod! Pod!
Pod! Pod! Pod! Pod! Pod! Pod! Pod!

A regular sound.
And the regularly moving hands of No. 2 and No. 3 are digging the ground like a dog trying to bury a bone.
The voices of No. 2 and No. 3, who dug into the ground so that only their ankles were outside, came out of the pit.
No, it was just a snoring sound.

“Khehehehehe!!!”
“Kreurreung!!!”

Because of the lack of sleep, the elementary commandos were going crazy.
However, it was not time to relax and sleep, so No. 5 poked the soles of No. 2 and No. 3 while they were sleeping with an arrowhead and pulled them out.

“You naughty bitch!!”
“Let’s get some sleep!!”
“If you die, you can sleep comfortably. Shall I kill you?”
“… I will do my best.”
“… I will do my best.”
“Ha… But where did this bastard Yujun go?!”

Unlike No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3, which were caught by No. 5 while sleeping openly, No. 4 was sleeping very cleverly.
It’s just that the place to sleep is not a safe place…

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

It happened to be on the back of a large lizard-like monster passing by the elementary school special forces.
And that too, while tying his body with a rope to the sharp protrusion that grew like a mane along his spine…

“… “
“That bastard…!”
“Only yourself..!”
“Are you sleeping!!! Sleep with me too!!!”

In a way, they look like criminals chained to the scaffold, but the moment No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 buy ropes from the store and run after seeing No. 4 sleeping so comfortably…

Teouk!!!!

An arrow pierced the lizard monster’s protrusion.
To be precise, between the crotches of No. 4, who was sleeping with his head down.

“Wake up. Unless you want to sit and pee all your life.”
“… Wooooo!!! I slept well!!!!”

As soon as he opened his eyes to the frightening death, Number 4, whose eyes met eyes with the arrow stuck between her crotch and Number 5 in the distance, raised her face and announced that she had woken up with a loud voice.
But the problem is…

“Release me…”
“Just die.”
“Shoo, don’t shoot!!!!”

Piyung-!!
Teouk!!!!
Teouk!!!!

No. 5’s arrow flew once again and was lodged between the armpits of the screaming No. 4. Thanks to that, even though he was freed from the rope, No. 4 had to tremble with his body wrapped around the arrow stuck between his armpits.
Anyway, the elementary school commando, which started working properly again, and Kwon Joo-hyuk, who jumped out of bed, escaped the dangerous moment by pushing back the front line that had been pushed back.
However, it was not the people fighting on the front line who were most tired of this endless, sluggish fight.

Dump-

“Dasol!!”

Fluff- fluff-

People with healing properties, including Lee Da-sol, who took turns treating the injured who were constantly flooding in without having time to close their eyes for a moment, faced their limits.

“Cadet..! We can hold on, so just leave us to sleep while we’re down..!”
“But..!”
“Teacher Ye, get some rest too. If this happens, Teacher Yeo will also collapse.”

At the worried middle-aged man’s words, Yeo Min-jeong thought about something for a while and then started to buy various things at the store.

“For now, I might collapse if I use my abilities more, so I’ll just give you a simple first aid.”
“Get some rest!”
“I can do this much. Mr. Hoyle there! Come from uncle! If you leave that wound alone, it will be a big problem!”
“Sprinkle disinfectant and roughly bandage it. I’ll go out one more time and come back.”
“After Joo Hyuk joined us, we regained our stability. Radio came.”
“Ah… Okay..? Uh… Then let me rest for a while… Everyone, don’t wait in line, sit down and relax! Things got better!”

At Choi Ho-il’s cry, the people who could not even sit still due to the worries of their colleagues who were still fighting began to sit down on the floor one by one and examine their wounds.
And Yeo Min-jeong pouring disinfectant on Choi Ho-il’s bare shoulder.

“Aww..!!!”
“Even if it hurts, you need to disinfect. Be patient.”
“Know… Aaaaa!!”
“It’s tough.”
“Do you think this is cruel?!”
“Yes! It’s this grumpy old man.”

I know it’s not rude.
It was a wound that Yeo Min-jung could not even imagine how painful it would be.
However, she said it with good intentions, as it seemed that if she did not calm down, she would collapse as well as Choi Ho-il and the others.

“By the way, did you get any contact from Jihoon?”
“No. That stupid bastard told me to contact him, so he didn’t even contact me…!”

Currently, Kim Ji-hoon was not at Altona.
Nor did she roam around Melbourne and help in dangerous places, as she did in her first move.
However, it was not only Kim Ji-hoon who disappeared.
Jackson and Paul, who had been moving together since the beginning, had also left Melbourne.
And they are right in front of a huge pit in Geelong.

“Kieeaek!!!”
“Cooooo!!!”
“Aaaaa!!!!”
“It really jumps out without stopping..! Please stop!!!”

Quagga gagagak!!!!

The intangible energy emanating from Kim Ji-hoon’s swung sword split the monsters that had just risen above the pit in half.
Meanwhile, Paul and Jackson investigated the pit and its surroundings.
Like Ha-jin, they have already confirmed that they cannot destroy the pit that pours out monsters with their own power.

“Whoa… Jackson, let’s go back.”
“I haven’t checked everything around yet.”
“But if we are away for a long time, Melbourne is in danger.”
“… “

The fundamental situation can be solved only by blocking the pit that pours out the monsters.
But like Paul said, I couldn’t just leave the seat empty.
Because I could have lost everyone trying to solve the underlying problem.
However, the pit cannot be left unattended.

“Paul, go back with Kim Ji-hoon.”
“You?”
“I will stay here and investigate more about that pit.”
“No matter how you are, you can be dangerous alone. It is a situation where you never know when a monster with some power will appear.”
“Everyone is at risk. I can’t afford to be alone.”
“… “

Paul, who had been exchanging rather crude conversations, confirmed his strong will in Jackson’s expression.
And I also knew that it was difficult to convince someone who was making a face like that.

“It is. Be careful instead. And if you can’t handle it, avoid yourself unconditionally.”
“I get it.”

So Paul returned to Melbourne with Kim Ji-hoon, who was trying to reduce the monsters pouring out in front of the pit as much as possible, and Jackson, who was left alone, hid himself in a building and began to investigate the area around the pit more clearly.

‘There will be. A way to block that pit.’

Jackson burns his will to stop the pit without fail.
In the meantime, Ha-jin, who disappeared a week ago between the distortions of the space…

“Puuuuu!!!!”
“Oh oh!! Elephant!”

I was facing an elephant in the African savannah grasslands.
Of course, he had to be caught quickly.

“There is no time.”
“Wow!!”

Ha-jin, who was pulled by Kim Hyun-joon’s hand pulling her by the collar and went back into the distortion of the space, screamed in anger like fire.

“What are you doing! There was an elephant!!”
“Shut up. Carrying that tiger with you is enough.”

Kim Hyun-joon, Ha-jin, and others who went out into another distorted space in the distorted space like that…

“… “
“… “
“… “

We met eyes with a person who was walking slowly somewhere, and we blinked blankly at each other.
But at this moment, neither Hajin nor Kim Hyunjun, nor other people knew.
A mysterious man I met in an unknown place. I never thought that this man would know the secret to closing the pit.
