Chapter 29 – [What Is Life, Just Live as You Live]

The main reason for calling me was the lack of manpower. Quite a few things can be done in Nara, but the problem is that there are not one place but two places where dimensional quakes occur.

[The simultaneous occurrence of dimensional earthquakes is rare, but there are. But if it happens at such a close distance, it’s almost the first time]

“Where is the location?”

[One is Yeouido Park. One is near Sindorim Station]

“It’s a place that’s only 15 minutes away by bus.”

[Yes, it’s a problem because it’s too close]

The number of people in charge of this area is limited. In the next 10 minutes, a dimensional earthquake will occur, but if the personnel are divided, damage will inevitably occur.

Besides, both are densely populated areas.

[There is Mr. Lee Kyung-jin on the side of Yeouido Park. I don’t worry about that, but Sindorim Station is a problem]

“As far as I know, if it was Sindorim Station, I remember that there was a residential-commercial apartment there.”

[Yes, that’s the problem]

No matter how much the world improves and the procedures are well done, there are many things that cannot be done. If there is an apartment building near the dimension, it is easy to collapse even if it is a large enemy species.

Even if you try to avoid it, there is too little time to evacuate an apartment where several hundred people live in at most 10 minutes. Also, it is difficult for people such as the elderly to evacuate quickly.

[Yeouido Park is late and there are few people, so it is possible to quickly subdue it by encircling the army and putting in a few teams. But on the Sindorim Station side…]

“I heard that the master user went to Yeouido. Isn’t it actually the opposite?”

When it comes to parks, open spaces are the main focus. Besides, it’s been a while since the sun is setting and I’m thinking about getting off work.

No wonder there are not many people in the park on a night like this other than those who come out to exercise at night. Close to such parks and residential areas. In Yeouido Park, there are only roads and buildings nearby. It is obvious which side should be more concerned about the loss of life.

But you went to Yeouido?

[The higher up doesn’t seem to think so. It takes time for the influx of force, and there is also the National Assembly building nearby, so if it gets damaged by mistake…]

“They’re probably trembling with that shit because their image will drop and their approval rating will drop.”

The issue of red species is closely linked to politics. Because people’s lives depend on it.

However, if you can’t judge which is more important because of just one image, I’ve heard doubts about being sane.

“If you see what our country’s National Assembly members are doing, they’ll do it like shit. If you get the right kind, can you just do it?”

[Are you accepting? Thank you!]

“It’s hard to go and pick up a few enemy species. It must be harder to go there.”

The shop door was already preparing to close after Baekri noticed. I took out the animal ear headphones that I always carry with me, put them on my head, and pressed the button.

With a click, a metallic mask was placed over her face.

“Hyung, what are you doing again?”

“There are too many tax thieves in our country, so it’s a mask. I’m going to clean up the shit”

“It’s like a tax thief suddenly came out. It’s been like that since the old days.”

“If you say that bastards who don’t work properly will be cut off their necks, will you do well at work? I have to do it after introducing the personality test. Right? I have to finish this job, so you go home carefully.”

“Okay, see you tomorrow brother”

Time is night. The street is still bright, but there are parts where the light doesn’t shine. Our building’s CCTV can be managed by Zion, so even if it is filmed, it can be deleted at any time. So there is no problem taking pictures inside the building.

I came out through the back door of the store and went up to the roof of the building.

There is a little distance from here to Sindorim Station, but that is if you drive along the road, and if you run in a straight line without obstacles, you can arrive within a few minutes.

“If I had a cloak, I would fly away with a slight flutter.”

– Never wear a cape

“What, were you listening?”

-The news just came naturally to me because I was wearing a Raccoon Man mask. What happened?

“I got a call from team leader Jo because I had an aptitude, so I’m applying.”

– Let’s see… Coincidentally, two dimensional alarms went off in Korea at this time. Which one?

“Sindorim”

– The military has already been dispatched, and about 60 Force users have been dispatched. However, the evacuation of civilians has not yet been completed. We have no choice but to wait at home.

“It’s meaningless if you rise above medium.”

If it’s a small one, it may go over if you’re hiding in a house, but from a medium size, it’s easy to knock down a building if you just run into it.

In that case, being at home would be a catastrophe. Oh, I’m sure there was a big accident when I told you to stay still in the past.

-Yes, so it’s happening again and again. It seems difficult to move by means of transportation because the car is pushed on the road.

An image video emerged from the glass part that serves as an eye guard inside Shion’s mask with the horse. Maybe they hacked the cameras of the nearby roads, and they saw a clogged road that looked like a highway on a holiday day.

– There are 5 minutes left until the earthquake occurs.

“That’s enough”

With a little more speed, you’ll be sure to get there before things break. It added the power to spur the ground, allowing it to run long distances.

Soon after, I was able to reach the vicinity of Sindorim Station where the horn sounded loudly. As there are many people living in the residential area, it takes a long time to evacuate. If Shion hadn’t planted the latest dimension seismic detectors, catastrophe would have happened here too.

Since the Great Depression 20 years ago, manuals have been set up so that the military can mobilize and respond to any densely populated area. If you don’t do it, you’ll be criticized and your approval rating will drop sharply, so the government can’t let go. It is said that thanks to this, the troops in the metropolitan area, not the front line, became more tense.

Barricades were set up, and hundreds of infantrymen were given live ammunition and were aiming their guns at the presumed location of the earthquake. I felt a little sympathy because I felt like I was seeing myself a year ago.

– One minute left.

“There are a few Force users… It’s at a level where you can catch all but a few people, but I’m worried about the loss of life.”

It seems that a dimensional earthquake will occur in the small park side of the residential area. Since the path is limited, if a small aptitude species appears, it is possible to solve it alone without me needing to step out.

-Dimensions occur.

The air began to tremble with Zion’s words. As the space twisted, it created a strange fault, and soon a gigantic monster began to emerge through it.

The day they went was market day, and they said they were going to catch people, but the guy who came out was a medium-sized or older.

Despite being a quadrupedal walker, he is tall enough to reach the third floor of an apartment building. The outer shell looked like a lump of stone, but the material seemed much harder.

It looked a bit cute, so I remembered where I saw it…

“Armadillo? Pangolin?”

It was shaped like an animal that protects it from predators by wrapping its body in a round shape. However, given that the outer shell is in the form of scales, it may be closer to the pangolin.

“Kick! Kick! Kiik!!”

“It’s a medium-sized enemy! Small firearms don’t work, so bring a 60mm!”

“Proximity system Force users forward! The outer shell looks hard, so the proximity system drags the time! Just hold out until the Force inflow phenomenon ends!”

The cooperative relationship was going well, and the roles were shared. Enemy species do not work well with physical attacks because of the rap energy. Even if you hit a mortar with a medium-sized enemy, it’s just to draw attention.

Of course, the military was well aware of that. Their roles are thoroughly supportive. It is a role to reduce possible damage without ever stepping out.

The red bell looked around, screamed, and curled up. Looking at similar subjects and similar behaviors, I came up with the idea that the side of the enemy species is similar to this side of the vegetation.

Rumble!!!

As the Raff energy flowed, the rounded body began to rotate. As the Gaia Force is condensed from all sides, a foothold is gradually being prepared to attack it, but then it is too late.

Force entrainment is a double-edged sword. Force influx is a phenomenon that makes it possible to inflict effective blows on enemy species that would not normally be able to inflict damage.

However, during the time it takes place, the Force user simply becomes someone who can fight better.

“I can still catch it after some time, but I didn’t come here to see that.”

Let’s pack up properly and go home. Because Shion will be waiting for you with the meal ready.

*        *    *

A raccoon fell from the sky, Lieutenant Han Jin-seong remembered a report he would write later. If you use it as it is, you will definitely be kidding and the fire will fall.

However, the metal mask and animal-shaped mask resembled the eccentric hero who had beaten and killed an enemy species with a tuna a while ago.

“Raccoon Man?”

“The raccoon man will take care of the enemy species, so don’t worry!”

“Thank you, Raccoon Man!”

“Wait a minute, what a bastard!”

There was an executive yelling nervously in a voice that made jokes, but that wasn’t the point. The enemy species, spinning and charging with a size that could destroy a small shopping mall, made a menacing noise and shook the ground and rushed at the worst.

Wooooo!!!

The worst was not avoided. Received from the front. Despite the unusual friction caused by receiving the body rotating at high speed, it was receiving a huge body of tens of meters with a human body of less than 2 meters.

The weight must have been enormous in proportion to its size, but even after receiving the huge body that received acceleration, there was not a single gold in the worst place.

“The only sport that uses the biggest ball is basketball!!!”

After blocking it with one hand and clenching a fist with the other, he threw it out vigorously. As the heavy vibration resounded, the body of the enemy species lost its rotational power and was pushed away.

“The bastard that looks like a beanworm that you can see when you dig in the fucking school playground is hard, but it’s filthy hard. Do you want to boil bean rice with your nose!”

I don’t know if I can eat it, but the worst thing was that I continued punching the body of the enemy species that was crouching.

Thud! Cooong! Wow!!!

A shock that was unbelievable that it could be produced by human power spread all over the place. It is surprising that it has that much power, but the appearance of the enemy species that endures even after being hit by it is also worthy of being called a monster.

However, it seemed that there was no blow, but he only struggled and did not show proper movement.

When there was a slight gap, the worst shrugged as if loosening his shoulders and stepped back for a moment.

“Your lieutenant”

“Oh, you mean that?”

“I’ll think about it if there’s another lieutenant here other than you. There isn’t one. You’re the one in charge, right?”

In fact, it becomes a complicated story when it comes to who is in charge. If you include not only executives from the military but also team leaders from the KFU, the hierarchy becomes twisted. Fortunately, the only military official present here was Lieutenant Han Jin-seong, so it was easy to talk.

“Yes, for now, I am one of the directors of this site.”

“I was passing by and stopped by. How do you do that? Do you want to catch it there? Or do you want to catch it?”

“Will you catch me?”

“Catch me?”

“If you do, we thank you!”

“OK”

An invisible force attracted the enemy species. As I floated the large object weighing dozens of tons, I heard frightened voices around me.

Force users can do the same. But that was all it took for several people to gather together and barely cast it for a few seconds. It is difficult even for a master level user to freely lift a weight of more than 10 tons alone like the worst.

The body of the enemy species floating in the air continued to curl up in a circle. After a few punches, he was able to figure out the difference between himself and the opponent, and chose to take the most favorable situation for himself.

Even if they didn’t have Raff energy, the enemy species, wearing an outer shell that would not budge from mortar shelling, were looking for an opportunity with a defensive posture.

“There is such a thing as penetrating damage in the world these days. It is a historical setting that has been handed down from the days of martial arts novels under the name of the method of heavy water.”

The ability called ‘interference’ makes it possible to do many things beyond imagination.

Starting with simple psychokinesis, it allows you to imitate mental abilities as well. Of course, since the basis is ‘interference’, there is a difference in depth.

However, if you use it for a long time, the shallowness will deepen. There is a field where the worst has lived as a reincarnated person and has specialized in several abilities.

Keying!!!

The worst fists started ringing with a strange resonant sound.

“Welcome to Korea. Look at the radish while you’re here. It’s good!”

Really kill

Killing spirit.

Ten thousand murders.

Killing Hapcheon (殺身合天).

It refines, condenses, and forges life in three stages.

Just like that, a killer attack is launched that literally kills the opponent by penetrating even concepts beyond time and space.

“Hyunjebung Kwon”

Wow!!!

There was a strange sound like something breaking. And a moment of silence passed.

Eventually, Jeokseong-dong’s crouched body was released. Despite the slightest trauma, his life had stopped and he was not breathing.

Just a moment ago, it was so strange to see an enemy species that was moving normally and acting like an advance guard to kill humans, dead without any other trauma. I got goosebumps over it.

It is the basic principle of the world that you can kill someone by simply cutting them with a knife, shooting them with a gun, fighting somehow and injuring them.

However, being able to kill an opponent without causing any harm was beyond anything else, and it was a creepy thing.

“How is it, is it okay?”

Really killed

*        *    *

After the worst defeated the enemy species in one blow. All that was left was time for post-processing.

The normal procedure is to dissect the red species, extract or dismantle the core, and send each part to a research center or to a separate place for use. However, in this case, the corpse remains almost intact, so you will want it in several places.

“Thank you for your help. I… Mr. Raccoon Man”

“It’s almost like coming out for exercise, but well. If you bow your head too much, it’ll be burdensome on this side, so leave it alone.”

It’s okay to get out of the seat right away, but the worst thing is to stay a little bit and watch the cleanup.

It was fun just to watch the dismantling of the giant monster. Worst of all, while reincarnating over and over again, he saw and killed many creatures larger than humans, but at most he saw them dismantled, only dragons.

“Originally, we should arrest Raccoon Man-san, but…”

“Huh? Arrested?”

“Did you not know? There is an arrest order for Mr. Raccoon Man. He is to be arrested if he sees it…….”

Due to the diplomatic problems caused by the actions in Japan, there were numerous charges against the worst.

First of all, the force user is not registered by default.

Next, non-payment of additional tax for Grundfos users.

Even the departure of force users without permission and acts of vandalism and injury in foreign countries.

It is said that the weakness was taken into account by sending the blueprint of the latest dimension sensor, but the sin does not disappear. Nominally, Raccoon Man is a criminal and should be arrested.

“Honestly, we won’t be able to afford an arrest, so I’ll tell the superiors even if they hear something.”

“Is that okay? What are you going to do if you miss a promotion, Lieutenant?”

“I’ll be discharged in three months anyway”

“Wow, let me congratulate you in advance”

Discharge from a dishonorable discharge is something to celebrate for a man. Any veteran can sympathize.

Worst of all, he was a soldier until the beginning of this year, so he could deeply empathize.

“Squadron commander!”

“Corporal Kim? Why? Who did you radio from?”

Someone came running calling for a lieutenant. Looking at the equipment on his back, he seemed to be a communications soldier, but he spat out with a clear expression of embarrassment.

“Mir is coming!”

“What?”

“Mir? Dragon?”

“That’s why it’s a military term like Jindogae. Mir refers to one person…”

There is only one person in Korea who can say Mir (dragon).

Even if he is the president, he is not called that. Because a dragon should be worthy of being called a dragon.

The only master force user in Korea.

Heavenly Sword Lee Gyeong-jin.

For the defense of Korea’s metropolitan area, a force user who always stays only in Seoul is coming here.

The person who went there to defend Yeouido Park was now heading this way.

“A cold feeling runs down my spine, but I have to jump out before things get bigger… Oh, it’s fucking late.”

Worse turned his head and looked at the corner of the road.

If you come in a straight line from Yeouido Park to Sindorim Station, it is only a few kilometers at most. Being able to cut off 6 seconds of running 100 meters is a normal Force user’s job, but if you’re a master user, that’s ridiculous too.

No, in the first place he doesn’t come running.

Even if he jumped out now, he would only be pursued. You can shake it off, but it’s either one or the other anyway.

“If it’s a man, we’ll have to hit it head-on! Who’s the real man!”

“Are you insane?!”

There was a person flying like a flash from afar. Not just the figure of one person, but dozens of swords were flying behind his back.

Using the sword as a stepping stone, the figure riding on it and flying away was more like a swordsman that could only come out of a Murim, rather than a human being.

This is why Lee Kyung-jin’s nickname is called Cheongeom. It was named because it can wield dozens of swords freely and fight with a manipulation characteristic that is further developed from the psychokinesis characteristic.

According to the family register, a young man who did not appear to be in his mid-40s landed on the ground. The sword he had been using as a foothold naturally flew behind him and floated in the air.

“I came because I thought I would need support after finishing the site first.”

He spat out, looking at the worst.

“There are people I didn’t even think of.”

“I’m thinking about what to do when I suddenly meet someone I didn’t expect.”

The worst was the moment I saw him.

Oh, it’s too late to pass this nicely.

Unlike Japan, this is Korea. Even if they run away, they have nowhere to go unless they emigrate abroad.

If your true identity is revealed and things get complicated, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to escape abroad, but your business base is here, and your newlyweds haven’t lived in a house for half a year yet. It’s a house that Shion designed and built himself with money on purpose, but I feel sorry to leave it behind and go abroad.

“This is Lee Kyung-jin. How about you?”

“Call me Raccoon Man”

“Have you dealt with this hostile species?”

“I took care of this guy over here while you were there to wipe down after the high-ranking ones.”

Lee Gyeong-jin saw the enemy species being dismantled.

At least medium. I’ll have to measure the exact grade, but first of all, the size is different. Regardless of the class, medium-sized enemy species cause great damage due to their size.

Especially in densely populated areas where civilians are not properly evacuated.

If the worst hadn’t happened, the troops here would have been able to survive at best. In the meantime, some people must have died.

“Thank you. Without you, some people would have died.”

“If you’re grateful, can’t you just let it go?”

“That’s that and this is this”

Shu Shu Shuk!

Dozens of swords flew and surrounded the worst in a circle. If you look at the sword inserted in a circle at regular intervals without an inch of error, you can see how delicately it can move as well as simply move.

“Raccoon Man. Unregistered Force user, non-payment of special tax due to that. Illegal departure, and work in Japan… I will add to the story and arrest you here. If you do not resist, I will treat you leniently.”

“I can’t say anything because I’ve been half-spoken from the beginning, but your way of speaking somehow makes me feel dirty.”

The tone of being above the other person cannot be used unless you are a person who is more special than others.

Lee Kyung-jin also had his own qualifications. There were only nine master users in the world, and he could be considered higher than even the president, who changed once every five years, as he had power that could be used anywhere. But he doesn’t work for the worst.

There is a stomach above. Even the worst knew his stomach. Even the worst of the top 0.1 percent across all dimensions had two steps left to go. Among them, even the limit is not easy to step on.

“What if I run away?”

“Catch it and it’s over”

“Can I catch it?”

“Of course”

The swords that were stuck around the worst began to vibrate and make menacing noises.

“You think I’m weaker than you?”

“Although the amount of force itself is not absolute. The difference between yours and mine must be large, right?”

The Gaia Force of the worst is just something I gathered while breathing roughly. Occasionally, he only uses it to strengthen his body, and when he uses his ability ‘Interference’, he uses his mental power or will, not the Gaia Force, unlike other Force users. There is a more efficient and stronger one, but there was no need to waste energy.

That’s why, at most, the amount of Gaia Force possessed by the worst was no more than that of three or four experienced Force users. Even that alone was a fairly large amount, but compared to a master level user, it was new blood.

“It doesn’t matter if I get exposed anytime, but… It’s not okay to get caught by you, right?”

The worst raised his middle finger and held it out to Lee Kyung-jin.

“Joe, Mr. Baeng”

“If you really want to do that, I’ll cut one off and take it to you.”

Dozens of swords poured down like lightning towards the worst.
