Have a Meal Before You Go

The streets of Ketikom were filled with fate. In the dark and unsanitary streets, small children were looking through the rubbish.

When the children saw Echo, they rushed to Ururu. Then, looking up at Echo, you reach out your hands with gleaming eyes.

“......? ”

Echo looked down at the children and bent down to match the eye level.

The same twisted look. It was a small, thin body that was clearly hungry.

‘Are you asking for food? ’

Echo pulls out the small bag he was carrying on his back. There were biscuits, bread, and sandwiches to snack on.

Echo took it out and distributed it to the children. The children received it, and bowed their heads and said something.

Let me see.

Echo turns his back on his pocket and wears earrings that he received from threatening twin dragons. The earrings are enchanted by an interpreter that can be freed from language.

“Thank you, sir. ”

“Yes."

It was only a matter of time before I realized the world wasn't normal.

This was kind of a slum. Dark and rarely even light, this is the city of Zachman.

The flashing of the light was the city of a tall skyscraper from afar.

A huge barrier.

The barrier completely separates the slum from the city. Echo plundered the rest of the food and distributed it to the other children.

Someone runs to the mother who collapsed in the corner, and someone eats the spatula to make sure she's so hungry.

“There is no place like this. ”

The category of the slums was truly enormous. If you think of very few cities as 10 percent, 90 percent of the huge space was made out of slums.

“No.”

Echo shakes his head. Echo grew up in a world like this. It was the horse system, which is home. It was very similar to the ecology of the horse system, which is the strong zone.

Suddenly.

A little boy caught my eye in front of my eyes. All the other children were scattered, but the boy was left alone staring up at Echo.

How old do you think he is?

Three, four?

What's your gender? It's small and has long hair, so it's hard to tell the difference. Somehow, Echo held his hand to his cheek, not looking like a man. I remembered the baby I left at home. Probably about the same age as Tangerine.

There was something left.

Looking back at his pockets, there was some chocolate that Tangerine gave him this morning. Bring the chocolate to the child, the child bows and huddles! The dark alleyway disappeared to the other side.

He stands up with a smile on his face.

Then.

Puck!

You hear a murmur on the other side.

“......? ”

Echo hurriedly ran there. A little while ago, the kid who was running for chocolate was groaning on the floor.

In front of him were guards dressed in armor. Probably, a runaway child ran into the lead guard.

The guards look at the boy who fell on his face and spit as if he saw something dirty. Then I took off my pants and walked in front of the child.

- Oh, my God. This kid's dirty on my new armor?

The child is extremely frightened, trying to escape, but is soon caught in the guard's hands.

- The slums need their kids, too.

They giggle and smile as if it's a joke that's trending among the guards.

The guard who grabbed the child struck him on the forehead with his index finger.

Exactly!

“Aah!”

The child screams. For a child about three years old, it must have been quite a shock for an adult in a metal gauntlet.

The guards grin again.

“...... ”

Echo walks up to the front of the guard.

Echo was quite an astonishing face. It was a surprise to meet the bad guys as bad as the demons.

“You really are bad people, aren't you? ”

“Huh?”

“What's with the purple hair? ”

The guards look up at Echo.

The rings, earrings, and necklaces worn by Echo were very old-fashioned. The color was clean, and it seemed that the booty was unfolding from the look of it was not a slum person.

Echo's eyes were equipped with the Detect Eye.

- Ugh.

“...... ”

Echo slowly brings his index finger to the guard's forehead.

Oh, shit!

And then I punched him in the face.

Boom!

The guard circles around the air about thirty times, flying all the way to the end of that alley.

Echo picks up the missing child and looks down quietly.

“Huff, huff......”

Echo pulls a handkerchief out of his bag. Then he blindfolded her, tied her behind her head and put her on the ground. I whispered as I stroked the scared child's hair gently.

“It's okay. Hold on a second, will you? ”

From now on, I'm thinking of doing something bad for my child.

“Son of a bitch! What the fuck......”

Another guard screams for drain.

Boom!

Without finishing his horse, he flies into the air and falls onto the guard who just flew away.

“Huff!”

Boom!

And then the next one.

Boom!

And the next one, too.

Since each one of them flew tens of meters, there's very little chance of them surviving.

The last guard looks at Echo and trembles.

“Well, well, well, well. ”

Echo approached him like that. And I took a closer look at him. I wore iron armor, and I wore some pretty cool accessories. Artifacts?

No, it's just a luxury.

Echo whispers to the guard.

“This body doesn't like to say it twice. In fact, this body was naturally as cruel as a jar of rice. But lately, I've been trying to be a little more merciful. It would be beneficial for you to answer properly when mercy remains. ”

“Ugh, Udd! ”

Echo's eyes glow bright and bright. Slash left and right! Purple mist drifts out of the Smell.

“Where am I? ”

“What, what? ”

“Where am I? ”

Since he asked the question twice, Echo grabs one finger.

Dook dook!

“Kuaaaah!”

The guard screams and straightaway opens his mouth.

“Slums, Slums, Downtown! ”

“Why are you hitting them? ”

“Come on, come on, you're wrong! ”

It wasn't the answer I wanted.

Dook dook!

“Shhh! Ah, ah, the slums are abandoned after all! Sooner or later, Joe, the slums will be wiped out! ”

- The truth.

“Huh?"

Echo tilts his head.

“Why?”

The guard starts rolling his eyes. I can see the head rolling. I grab one more finger.

Boss!

“Grrrgh!”

By the way, one more thing.

Boss!

That sounds surprisingly good.

Boss!

“Aaaaah! The news that Petyrine, the bar, the traitor, has been sneaking into the slums! Aaahhhh!”

Echo grabs his next finger and tilts his head.

“Styrofoam petyrin? ”

Suddenly, I thought that was how Ryu's real name felt.

“Well, yes! Pytirine, the blood of the one and only prince who lost the Great War! Because he's back! Uh, there's gonna be a huge slum subjugation before tonight! We were searching the slums before that! ”

- The truth.

“Oh, really? ”

Knng, knng -

Echo sniffed again. I couldn't feel the smell of currents yet.

The size of the slums, when hit by the Earth, was larger than the combined five cities. It was circling the city, drawing a huge circle, with a high probability that it might be somewhere in the slum.

Not really.

Echo nods.

Keticum is the only world that will completely collapse outside this city. Echo was well aware that Chulho had been to Ketikom when he fought Kalampage.

Chop-chop!

Then.

You hear a machine on the other side. Echo looks over the guard's shoulder.

Chuck- Chuck-

The sound of steel treading on the ground.

“Huh-huh-huh-huh! ”

The guard starts laughing like a madman.

“You, you're dead now. Our battle party is here! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! ”

Chug chug chug chug chug chug!

Soon, two armored units of three meters appeared in the black alleyway.

A boarding Gorem. It looked like a retrofit of a model I had seen in Cheolho's subspace warehouse. It almost resembled the structure of the human body, and despite its heavy weight, it was perfectly natural to move.

Patrolman, come in.]

You hear a voice through the loudspeaker in Gorem's chest.

Two Gorems! and illuminated the headlights. Echo appears to be hostile.

[Put down your companion. I warn you.]

His voice is cold. Echo looks at the guard and sees Gorem.

He reaches out his right hand and points at Gorem.

Jiaying-!

Papa Pan!

Two magic bullets fly through Gorem's chest.

Kugu...!

Kuang!

Two heavy gorems lose their light and kneel.

“...... ”

The guard opens his mouth.

Knng, knng -

Echo smells. The ironbirds are getting closer and closer.

Kuung-!

In the place where the two Gorems were defeated, two Gorems appeared again. Not only that, Gorems started to show up on the other side of the street.

Echo steals his nose.

Of the dogs, I saw Gorem in a unique form. Unlike the others, he wore black armor and looked a little stronger.

“That must be the commander, right? ”

“Uh, uh, father......”

Boss!

“Shhh! Shhh, yes! ”

Echo magically covers his whole body and throws it in front of him.

Shhhhhhh!

A guard, flying like a bullet, pierces two new armor-piercing bodies.

Kung-!

Two Gorems became useless again.

Echo falls to the ground, wrapped around his head, picking up a child trembling in his bag. He was so small, his head popped out as he entered the bag.

Jiaying-!

Echo reaches out his hands.

Magic bullets have begun to appear everywhere. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Numerous magical bullets were literally embroidered into the air with a terrifying aura.

Echo chuckles. My mouth is full of evil energy.

If you interrogate the leader, you'll get better information.

.

The Undertaker hides in the darkness. This place is a giant slum.

I tore into Ryu and hid myself. The enemies were more alert than they thought, so it was time to reorganize the plan.

But...

Soon, I learned that there will be a subjugation of Slum.

[This is bad. Here.]

He had to meet Ryu.

If the Gorem Force wants to subdue the slums, everything will be destroyed in a short time.

During that time, the war in Keticum consisted of mounted gorems, and the result was the destruction of the entire continent.

If we escape the slums, the whole world will be ruined.

It's an infinite hell where there's nothing to eat, nothing to drink.

I had to meet Ryu and figure it out somehow.

If needed-

Grrr!

Undertaker bites his lip and makes a commitment.

Risking his life, putting up his last stand.

Back then.

Kuaia-

There's a noise coming from over there.

Huh?

The Undertaker climbs up the tallest building wall in the vicinity and looks over from the top.

Over there.

There is a white smoke rising from the far side of the slum.

Kugong-

Kugu...!

I keep hearing heavy noises.

[Stop, no way.]

Has Ryu already been discovered?

Have you eaten?

I'm very late today. I'm sorry. It was raining for a while, and it was so hot today. It's been a hell of a day anyway. See you tomorrow!
