Chapter 2384 – 2384. Modern Magic Challenge
He killed Bright, the leader of Luminous. The transparent cameras that were taking pictures of me suddenly disappeared, and I didn’t even notice them.
But the situation is not over yet.
I looked up at the sky.
The next thing to deal with is dark clouds filled with lightning.
Normally, I couldn’t do anything about those massive lightning bolts that began to resonate beyond my control.
‘Now I have a command. Those dark clouds were also created by the spirits of the gods.’
Dark clouds can be controlled through the divine spirit. However, it was impossible to control all the lightning created by dark clouds. If it were me of [The Way of Ascension to Light], It might be possible, but… My current abilities were the same as in reality.
‘It’s not that you can’t do anything. Because the direction of Noecheonmyeong has not been decided yet. You can still choose where you fall.’
It all got so annoying that I just wanted to drop it… Do not do that. Because I am the main character now. If the center of Seoul is eliminated, the happy ending that is the goal of the quest will be lost.
‘Using the spirit of heaven to move dark clouds to a place with few people… There is too little time.’
Even if the dark clouds were faster than the clouds, the limits were clear.
‘Those lightning bolts explode in the clouds.’
I raised my right hand. A blue lightning bolt spun around the right hand.
Thunderstorm, extreme skill, explosion and thunder.
I swung my arm towards the dark clouds in the sky. A ray of lightning shot up into the sky instead of the ground and entered a dark cloud.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Lightning exploded in the dark clouds. The world shone as bright as day, and the booming sound was deafening.
The lightning in the dark cloud was gunpowder, and the explosive charge was the detonator.
There was nothing in the sky where the explosion swept through.
‘This is it.’
Honestly, I thought I might fail. But it was successful.
‘If that thing exploded on the ground, it would be a nuclear bomb…’ . No, it’s not at the level of a nuclear bomb.’
As I turned around, my expression immediately distorted.
‘I’m having such a hard time, so what are the other demonic units doing that I can’t even see?’
It was a time when I suddenly became irritated.
I received a call in the morning.
“What?”
“Yes. Captain. We have dealt with the remnants of Luminous who took over the BK broadcasting station.”
“You probably killed them all, right?”
“I’m also in the 8th Battalion. However, the man who appeared to be an executive of Luminous committed suicide without fighting. He committed suicide as soon as he saw me. It looks like he had no intention of buying it from the beginning.”
“He is probably the one who filmed the corruption video of high-ranking officials in Korea. He knew that if he surrendered, he would be screwed even more.”
Those in power in Korea will never sit still. I’m sure they’ll try to retaliate against him somehow. Probably something more than torture. In a way, he made a wise choice.
I looked at the BK broadcasting station and said.
“Withdraw.”
It was only after the situation was over that I found out that Lemegeton had attacked the leaders of the Great Demon Corps in various parts of Korea.
• • •
I sat in my office and checked my smartphone.
Starting yesterday, Korea was in chaos. All citizens rose up. The reason is, of course, the videos that Luminous took control of the broadcasting station and exposed.
People are already gathering at Gwanghwamun Square for a rally. Tens of thousands of people just gathered.
Political scene? It’s just a mess.
“Representative Park Sang-ryeol! “Severe criticism of Rep. Baek Hwa-jun of the same party who received sexual entertainment!”
“The ugly face of Korean politicians!”
「National interview. A male civil servant in his 30s said, ‘I can’t trust the prosecution or the police.'”
“Some citizens defend Luminous. They argue that Seong Yu-jin, who killed Bright, the leader of Luminous, should be arrested.”
「Chairman of large company K, does not know about human experiments, arbitrary decision of the director of the research institute.」
“Harrier. Are they really criminals? Maybe it’s a plaything for those in power!”
“Seong Yu-jin’s power is too dangerous! The city was almost blown away. We need more reliable control measures for Seong Yu-jin and other anti-horse troop commanders!”
“The ugliness of Korea is known all over the world! Falling prestige! “Now is the time for the people to move!”
“Lemegeton’s invasion of Korea has begun. People who abandon Korea and go abroad.”
“All countries around the world are criticizing Korean politicians and businessmen, and a boycott of Korean companies is spreading like fire.”
“KOSPI stock price crashed. A graph that goes down to the inner core. Experts, prepare for the second IMF!”
“Soccer star Kim, ‘I was disappointed in Korea.’ Rumors of Kim’s naturalization in Germany begin to circulate again!”
“Public order has become suddenly unstable. Is it really okay for Korea to be like this?”
“Big actor A. “I am outraged by the spread of the affair photos.”
I giggled.
Internet news was more interesting than watching webtoons or entertainment shows. Just by refreshing, interesting news articles are pouring in. There was nothing positive here. Those in power used the provocative topic of celebrities to cover up their own shame… It was no use. Because things have gotten too big. The celebrity is also criticized in the same way.
Are there articles with positive content here? Most of the articles were influenced by politicians or corporations. The public was so angry that they witch-hunted and hung the reporter who wrote such an article.
The media took notice of the public. Among the public, there are quite a few people who hide that they are wizards. They might get furious and become Harriers and commit terrorism. If you didn’t want to die, you had to look at the public’s opinion.
‘For the same reason, the Director of the Order Bureau cannot leave the President’s side.’
The people rose up to protest, and even Remegeton attacked Korea. Even if I feel anxious, I have no choice but to keep the national emblem by my side.
‘Director, you bastard. You’re so incompetent. I heard the 2nd battalion commander also missed it? Why are you listening to the orders of the president, when impeachment is only a matter of time? ‘Are you an idiot?’
The commander of the 2nd Battalion killed his men and ran away when I was dealing with Bright. It is not yet known where he went. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t do anything. He knew right away that the guy was a traitor, so he didn’t just sit there and do nothing.
It was then. The office door opened and morning came in. The expression was not good.
“Captain. A probation order was issued from the headquarters battalion to the entire 8th battalion.”
“Director? Are you issuing a probation order in this situation? Well, I flew from Japan to Korea on purpose… Wouldn’t things have been worse if I hadn’t been there?”
“It’s not the director. It seems like it came from a higher level.”
“If it’s from above… Blue House?”
The hemp unit is also on alert right now. Some of the members confirmed the corruption in the Hemp Unit, and those who felt skeptical resigned and left.
And now, security in Korea has become unstable. In this world, the power of the police is limited, so the anti-horse squad has no choice but to step forward. From the anti-magic attribute unit’s perspective, work hell has opened up.
In this situation, a probation order for the 8th Battalion?
“It’s taming. “I guess you didn’t like what the secretary said.”
“Yes. That’s my opinion too. I heard that the president even tried to issue a commendation to the captain. “The director blocked that.”
“That bastard… They were trying to bide their time by sacrificing themselves. Because now the public is afraid of me and reluctant.”
“Yes. But it failed. The president does not have the power to do that right now. Impeachment… No, this is a situation where you have to worry about your life. To the angry people… Until the invasion of Lemegeton. If I were president… That’s terrible. “I may have lost all my hair due to stress.”
“That bastard has no hair at all. Even his nickname is battalion colonel.”
Bald President. Shortened to battalion.
“Haha. Isn’t it a blessing to become self-employed? More than that, Captain. What do we do now?”
“A probation order has been issued, so you must remain on probation.”
“… “Are you really going to be disciplined?”
“Think of it as a vacation. While the other crew members work hard, we get a sweet break. This is a real vacation. “Isn’t it better to have a justification?”
I sighed softly this morning.
“… “The 8th Battalion’s notoriety will only increase.”
“Oh, let’s film a video before we leave for vacation. “Let’s do a show.”
“Do you by any chance need a professional camera?”
“Take a picture with your smartphone.”
I immediately picked up my smartphone. Even though I am a man, the reason I keep him by my side is that he is quick to notice and does not bother me.
“I will take a picture.”
I looked at the camera and said.
“Grow. Since public opinion is not good about me these days, I am taking a video and uploading it. I did my job. But it seems like you guys are uncomfortable, and the higher-ups seem like they’re being damned, so I’m going to resign from this position. “I will do whatever you want, so don’t look for me for a while.”
Having said all I had to say, I waved my hand. Amor Il put down his smartphone and asked me.
“Captain. “Are you really thinking of resigning?”
“I have to resign. You pay for me. Oh, not the Headquarters Battalion, but go directly to the Director of the Order Bureau and hand it to him.”
“There is no way the director will accept it.”
“Therefore. I told you earlier. It’s a show. If the video spreads, the hidden harriers will run wild like fish out of water. Lemegeton must be out of his mind because he’s out there.”
“The people will lament the absence of a leader. The anti-horse unit will scream… So when are you planning to return?”
“When this country realized my greatness. Well, I’ll come back until Korea really goes to shit.”
“… All right. What are you planning to do until then? “What should I do?”
“First, the commander of the 2nd battalion… No. I’m not even a captain anymore. We need to find that bastard first and kill him. And a vacation with my girls. Go for a mojito and have a drink in the Maldives… Should I rent a cruise ship and take beautiful women on a trip around the world? You and the crew can take care of their vacation.”
I posted the video I had just taken on social media and then tore up the space movement order form.

Kim Moo-hyung, commander of the 2nd Battalion, found it with the help of Lim Hyeon-ah. This was possible because one of Lim Hyun-ah’s transformation targets was a woman who used tracking magic.
He was looking at the sea from an empty dock in Ulsan. He had a cigarette in his mouth. He was middle-aged and still had a neat and sharp look.
“Did you come here to escape abroad?”
He pushed up his glasses with his middle finger and looked behind him. He threw away the cigarette that was in his mouth and stepped on it to put out the embers.
“Escape? No way. I swore with my nephew to change this rotten Republic of Korea. I was just waiting. “It was unexpected that you showed up here.”
Nephew? I think you’re talking about Bright. I had no idea they were relatives.
“Were you waiting for Lemegeton?”
“Okay. I didn’t know you would show up first. Rather, it is a good thing. “I will get rid of you here, the biggest obstacle to reform in the Republic of Korea.”
Magical power exploded out of Kim Moo-hyung’s body. His coat his then wrapped around his body his and became his armor his his his. It was a slim armor that looked similar to the suit of the protagonist of Sentai.
That coat is a grimoire, and turning the coat into armor is his magic.
Kim Moo-hyung threw away his glasses and spoke arrogantly.
“Ars Magna, heavenly attire. From now on, I am at my peak.”
I raised my index finger.
Howling!
A red flame rises from the finger.
“From now on, I am Kyo Kusanagi.”
“What?”
[Use acceleration. It lasts for 10 minutes. Stacks remaining: 11]
[Use moment. Stacks remaining: 10]
He quickly narrows the distance with acceleration and a split-second combo and swings his fist at Kim Moo-hyung’s body.
“Pussy is amai!”
When the fist collides with the creature’s body, sparks appear and a small explosion occurs. However, it takes a fighting stance as if it has not taken any damage. He was in a Taekwondo stance.
He easily dodged the flying axes, collected flames in his hands, and swung them at Kim Moo-hyung.
“Kurai Yagare!!”
It didn’t work.
Flames covered it, but it did not burn at all.
“The effect of my Ars Magna, Heaven’s Arms, not only returns my body to its prime, but also nullifies all magic directed at me. “Your flame cannot burn me.”
I raised both hands above my head.
Ars Magna, Chang Flame (蒼炎).
“Overconsumption is the cause!”
I waved both hands mercilessly towards the guy. Sword energy condenses on the fingers filled with magical power and tears the guy’s body apart. The attack uses pure magical power, not magic. The guy tried to swing his fists and feet in the blood, but his movements were very visible. Before he attacks, attack from here.
“Sigh! Breathe! Huh!”
Occasionally, the attack was mixed with glaring flames. Kim Moo-hyung was unable to nullify Changyeom. Changyeom’s ability to burn everything burned away his magic nullification first.
To finish, he grabbed Kim Moo-hyung’s head and slammed it into the ground, causing a firework.
“Kwaaaaa… ! Well, that’s a girl with eight legs… ! “It’s not Kyo Kusanagi, it’s Iori!!”
“Actually, my main character is Iori. Die.”
Bang!
Changyeom exploded and turned Kim Moo-hyung into ashes.
