Chapter 2193 – 2193. Dark Moon

I stared blankly at the open entrance for a moment.

An unexpected variable occurred. It is such a big variable that more than half of the plan had to be changed.

‘It’s not an unpleasant variable. Rather, it is a welcome variable.’

The ancient ruins of Great Korea are Korean-friendly. It is difficult to meet this condition, but once you are recognized as a Korean, it becomes easier for many people.

‘It’s a lucky situation.’

Didn’t the entrance right in front of me open automatically? Perhaps the trap lurking inside will also be deactivated.

‘I love it so much that I wonder if I can do this. I can take a little more time.’

While trying to enter the interior of Sebit Floating Island, I stop.

“Even if I’m Korean… The women next to me are not Korean. Is there any problem if we go in together?”

“Beep. It is natural for a man to have multiple foreign wives through international marriage.”

“… Is that so?”

Honestly, I don’t know because cases like this are rare in games.

Thinking that good things are good things, I head to the interior of Sebit Floating Island with my group. A long hallway stretched out. Entrance number 11 had fewer traps than other entrances and was relatively safe, but the road was longer.

‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have started at entrance 1.’

Entrance number 1 is the most dangerous and the fastest according to my plan.

Shake off the lingering regrets that are blooming and start making plans again from now on. Just because you are recognized as Korean does not mean you are necessarily safe. This ancient ruin is no different from a dungeon as time has passed. You must not let down your guard.

“It’s fascinating.”

Orcia said. Her voice echoed in the hallway.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean Mr. Eugene. He seemed to know a lot about the ancient ruins of Great Korea… I had no idea that he was a legitimate descendant of Great Korea. If K-DNA is over 99%, isn’t it Great Korean itself? Were you a frozen human from Great Korea?”

“That’s not it. Because I’m an orphan… “I don’t know much about my roots.”

I told him the truth, but Orcia didn’t seem to believe me.

To be honest, I was also curious about my identity. However, it was a problem that no one could clearly answer.

“I’m sure he’s not a frozen person. “The artificial intelligence said there was no information in the database.”

Invisible Blade said.

“… But. If you were a frozen human from Great Korea, there would have been information in the database. Then it’s a coincidence… As expected, it’s amazing.”

“It might not be a coincidence, but fate.”

“It’s fate. “I don’t believe in fatalism.”

“Huh. I don’t believe it either.”

“… I’ve been thinking about it for a while, Mr. Invisible Blade needs to be more polite.”

“Well. Even without that, I’ve lived well so far. Isn’t it annoying to live your life picking on one thing after another? Especially since you are a strong person.”

“Regardless of strength, people must have culture. “Uncultured humans are nothing but beasts and barbarians.”

“Do you mean I am an animal? If you peel back the layers of people, they are all similar. Even if you are a cultured person, there are probably aspects of you that you want to hide.”

As I was listening to their conversation, I had a gut feeling that I couldn’t stay still.

“Stop.”

If left alone, it seems like it will split from the inside.

“This is an ancient ruin. Mr. Orcia. Please be considerate. Invisible Blade. You too. Especially since you have work to do, right?”

“… Sorry. “It wasn’t the time to have that conversation.”

“Oh, you mean a trap? I found a few… I was ignoring it because it wasn’t working at all. Even if it does work, don’t worry, you can handle it.”

The moment has come to see her skills with her own eyes.

“Stop.”

The group stopped at the words of Invisible Blade, who was walking ahead. The Invisible Blade makes a simple hand sign. A shuriken made of water appeared between her fingers. When she swings her hand, she flies with fierce force and a water dart lands on her bottom.

Kwaaaaang!

The floor exploded.

“It’s a landmine-type bomb. Although we have advanced enough to install artificial intelligence at the entrance, land mines are quite outdated. Usually, when there are weapons that don’t match like this… It means there was a battle inside. Maybe something like a rebellion broke out here.”

I was deeply impressed by Invisible Blade’s insight. Because Sebit Floating Island’s internal rebellion actually happened. If you wander around the ancient ruins here, you can see some records related to it.

“There are two roads. Above and below. Where should we go?”

You have to go down to get the LK-99 Superconductor. Because superconductor research and production facilities exist in the core central region.

“Let’s go upstairs.”

It would be foolish to come this far and leave after only getting the LK-99. Since you came here, you should get everything you can.

Kwaaaaang!

An explosion sounds from a considerable distance away. Pirate. No, it is obvious that corporate dogs have attacked Sebit Dungdungseom.

Weeeee!

Sirens rang throughout Sebit Island.

-Sebit Floating Island is under attack. We have confirmed the enemies trying to invade Sebit Island. Switch to an emergency security system. Citizens, please move to an evacuation shelter.

Crash. Crash.

Doors opened throughout the hallway, and bipedal robots walked out in an orderly manner. Orcia and Invisible Blade were nervous without realizing it, but the robots with the Korean words “Special Police Robot” Written on their bodies quietly passed by us.

‘The power of Sebit Floating Island is formidable, but… Since companies have decided to do the right thing, it will be Sebit Floating Island that eventually collapses.’

We went up the stairs. The camera installed on the ceiling shines. I stood in front of a thick steel door.

“Beep. You are a person who holds a special resident card. Welcome. This is Sebit Floating Island’s combat robot research center. Currently, the Combat Robot Research Institute is closed due to the death of all researchers, including the director.”

“I want to go inside. “Can you open the door?”

“Beep. Permission granted.”

Originally, this place was not open even to Koreans. It seemed like it was thanks to the special resident card. I don’t actually have a resident registration card or anything like that.

I went inside. The lab was a mess. Metal parts crawled on the floor.

“Beep. Do you have any information you would like? “All research materials have been destroyed.”

“Okay. Take care of it yourself.”

I grabbed the spherical parts lying around in the corner. The only intact part here.

I threw it at Invisible Blade.

“What? Are you giving this to me?”

“It is a key component of the eight-fold compression barrier technology. Take it.”

“I’m a ninja?”

“A ninja from a company. “I heard that a lot of people working at Acrotex are from the East.”

“Hmm. I will accept it gratefully. It’s a technology they seem to like. If applied to a cyber suit, something quite useful will be created.”

Next, we moved to the bio laboratory. I gave all the remaining research samples there to Orcia.

“Perhaps they are samples of heterogeneous stabilizers. You can research it yourself, or you can sell it to a company that specializes in bio research.”

“… What is a heterogeneous stabilizer? “Is this the drug I think it is?”

“Yes. That would be correct. This is a medicine that reduces the side effects of people with mixed blood. In the case of elves, there won’t be any significant side effects… In the case of other races, big or small side effects are bound to occur. It will be more stable than any other heterogeneous stabilizer in existence. “Don’t you need it?”

“… No. This is a necessary item. If the Hytel School announces this stabilizer… Yes. You can make big profits. However, if that happens, it will become my achievement. Is that okay?”

“It doesn’t matter. Instead, I take the rights to the LK-99 superconducting bond.”

I’m not just giving it to them for no reason. The real thing is a superconductor after all. I have to spread it like this, so I won’t be greedy about superconductors.

We also took care of other small things. Things like Great Korea’s battle rations and strange brands of drinks like Great Cider. Even if it’s not of great value, you should take care of what you need.

We were able to climb up to the tallest building on Sebit Island and look around. Everywhere on Sebit Island was on fire.

The combat staff dispatched from the company and the combat robots of Sebit Floating Island are fighting against each other. Company employees used high-power weapons without hesitation. Missiles hit various places and cause powerful explosions.

It does not stop even when an employee dispatched from another company is involved. No, it seemed like the goal was to get them involved. Ultimately, companies also recognize each other as competitors.

This was already a battlefield.

I clicked my tongue as I saw some of the buildings I was targeting collapsed. It was a waste of the pretty good relics that were in there.

‘These bastards are not looking for relics and are trying to eliminate their competitors first. Anyway, it’s strange that it comes out like this. Companies will want relic technology as sound as possible… Did one of the companies betray you? Then I understand this shit.’

As I watch, something catches my senses.

It’s not fast, but something quiet and stealthy is targeting me.

‘… A curse?’

Pajik.

I swung the electric current generated from my fingertips into the air. The current surges and burns the secretly flying curse.

‘Black magic curse. If you haven’t consistently studied black magic… I might not have noticed.’

I don’t know what kind of curse it is.

I looked around to find the culprit who had cursed me, but the surroundings were so chaotic that I couldn’t figure it out.

“It looks like there is a black rat on the battlefield. It won’t be easy to trace.”

Orcia said. There was no way that she, a 7th level wizard, would not have noticed the curse that I, a 6th level wizard, had noticed.

“I don’t like being attacked, but… There is nothing we can gain by participating in this battlefield right now. We’re going down to the core area. “I don’t think it’s time to relax too much.”

“That’s right. I think at least 6 companies are involved in this. They are very determined and running wild. “I guess my body is very sweet.”

We went down. The further down we went, the quieter it became. The core of Sebit Floating Island is in the center. A space that is less than 1% of the total area.

It was the moment I went down, opened the fancy door, and arrived at a plaza-like place. The passengers who arrived first pointed guns and knives at us. Among them, there were some familiar faces.

“Wizards. “It’s our sphere, right?”

“I can’t believe I met you here… Looks like we’re in luck. “They probably know the information here, right?”

They were Takeshi, a middle-aged man with a sharp look, and Woohee, a woman with an angular face and an eyepatch. Behind them, corporate employees were lined up.
