The Returner

5. Hey, turtle head (2)

“Hell.”

Christopher McClaren rubs his eyebrows as he looks around the world through his vision.

Arizona's troops were annihilated, and Germany was heavily widowed, though they were somehow stopping the rebellion.

Sichuan province, which has not been properly informed, has been shown to be unsustainable by the Chinese government due to an attempt to conceal information.

‘Humanity was so helpless.... ’

I knew the electric car was obvious. Even if humanity did its best, it was almost impossible to prevent the invasion of the Magic System.

All that was left for them was to resist and oxidize to the end, or to gamble a large amount of nuclear weapons into the Spot in order to destroy the space itself.

If the latter were possible, Christopher would have dared to try.

Some countries would be devastated and some worlds would be a dead zone, but the situation was not good enough to consider.

However, ICBMs that have already been tested have become neatly disabled.

“Damn the Demon King. ”

Christopher was devastated to see nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles so easily neutralized.

Christopher didn't think humanity was incompetent and unable to deal with them.

It's just different directionality.

Humanity has never developed technology to deal with a single, powerful individual. What they had to deal with was a large army and a country.

The human focus has been on developing weapons to destroy more people and more territories.

‘Bastards. ’

In each country, we were already in the process of developing a technology to defeat this unprecedented creature called the Demon King. The United States was also struggling to develop a countermeasure by hitting a huge budget.

However, Christopher was in a negative position for its utility. We're running out of time. The Demon King appeared in Arizona only after halfway destroying the United States will have a development outcome, which means that the performance is meaningful.

Christopher sighs deeply.

“The rotten bastards should have spent more.... ”

When the Demon King first fell into the hands of Lee Hyuk, Christopher could sense the fear of the Demon King. And when I heard from Lee Hyuk that the Demon King could continue to target the world, I thought I should have a way to respond at all costs.

Since then, they've been insisting on funding research institutes and research to deal with the Demon King himself, but the damn Parliament hasn't kept up their budget properly.

I can see the fire above my head. Why does it have to be on the back of my foot to move?

Christopher sighed deeply.

With a limited budget, all they developed was Mana detectors.

Unlike the commercially available ether detectors, it was only able to measure the amount of Mana in detail, and detect the appearance of a massive Mana like a atmospheric distribution through satellites.

‘I know exactly where the Demon King is. ’

But it's like a useless thing. The Demon Kings were able to pinpoint their location by destroying their surroundings at the same time as they appeared.

“Boss!”

Christopher turns his head to the voice calling out to him.

“Pyongyang! A dense Mana has appeared in the Pyongyang. ”

“Looks like the Demon King's back in Pyongyang. ”

“That's not it! There are so many of them!”

“Hmm?"

Christopher turns his head and looks at the vision.

Mana shows a distortion in a collision with each other.

“Hmm, meddling with each other.... ”

Christopher, who was about to tell us to send information to Korea, China and Russia, opened his eyes wide.

What is that? ’

The first was a small fluctuation.

However, the fluctuations began to sweep around as if water had erupted from the dam.

“What! What, that! Bring up the satellite! ”

Christopher awoke from his seat, looking at the huge whirlpool of Mana that was filling up the screen. They're already tracking several Demon Kings' positions. That's why I knew how much Mana the Demon King was spouting.

However, the Mana waves that you see on the screen are surpassing their level of awareness.

“Did the King of the Weed pass by? Damn, this isn't a cartoon... ”

There would be warriors in this cartoon.There are no warriors here.

“I've got the satellite. ”

“Turn it on!”

Christopher glances at the screen with an odd look on his face.

“Lee, Lee Hyuk? ”

Why is he there?

* * *

“That!”

Barathas' little eyes are torn open.

The black gate that opens at the foot of the Great Lakes will be Bonamana Gate. And they were able to figure out where the gate was breached.

“Don't, Mahjong! ”

Moving through dimensions is hard for the Demon Kings.

Not only is it hard, but it takes a lot of Mana to consume the power of two or three Demon Kings to open just one gate.

That's why they sent Argoras to respond to the gate through the machinery on this side.

But now?

Dimensional cracks were used to open semi-permanent doors to assimilate the landscape and the Earth. Using those assimilated spots, the Demon Kings were able to take full advantage of the Mana of the Magic System.

‘I should have thought that it applies to the ninety-ninth Demon King……. ’

Cold sweat begins to flow from Barathas' body.

Goooooooo.

Manah, who came up from under Lee Hyuk's feet, licked Lee Hyuk's body like a demon's tongue and began to be sucked into it.

Lee Hyuk closed his eyes and quietly accepted Mana.

“No, we have to stop it! ”

Barabbas shouts in a hurry.

At this rate, the ninety-ninth Demon King will be resurrected with an infinite Mana.

If the ninety-ninth Demon King, who had been given unlimited pure Black Magical power as a phosphorus inserted into the Magic System's core, would resurrect……… it was no different from disaster in the mind of the Magic System.

Even now! We still have to stop the ninety-ninth Demon King before he absorbs all the Mana!

But I couldn't just run.

The existence of Erkana who is guarding the front of Lee Hyuk is too burdensome.

“Why are you so embarrassed when there's the biggest show on earth? Isn't it fun?”

Herkana grins.

“But Borenza has a head, and it's a shame you don't have one. I'm ashamed that you idiots are Demon Kings like me. ”

Baratha changes his teeth, but I cannot argue with Herkana's words. Even if I could refute it, I could not be in the mood to argue with her in the same situation.

“Even if the ninety-ninth Demon King seeks his power, this place is not a magic system, and it is not Beraf. And we're not who we used to be! ”

“You think so? ”

Barathas doesn't answer to Herkana's death. It wasn't her that mattered to him now.

‘Damn it.'

Lee Hyuk slowly opened his eyes.

His body rises slightly into the air.

Woof.

And the black Mana rises like a flame from the gate, resonating.

Seeing that scene, Barathas had no choice but to remember what he wanted to forget. Remaining like a painter in his head.

Although the outfit was different from the past, Lee Ji-hyuk's appearance now resembled that of the time when he was called the Nineteenth Demon King and the Throne of Doom.

And even the power I feel.

“Human themes……. ”

Lee Hyuk slowly opened his eyes.

“How are you feeling, darling? ”

“I mean.... ”

Lee Hyuk pondered the question of Herkana.

“Do I have to say that I feel like there's something inside of me? When I open my eyes, I think Mana will fall out of my eyes. ”

“That's an interesting answer. ”

“I think so, too. ”

Lee Hyuk rolled up his mouth.

‘Obviously. ’

In the past, I have hardly ever felt a lack of Mana. His Mana supply capabilities have always been ahead of his reach.

In the beginner days of the Black Wizard, Herkana provided Mana, which could be considered infinite if given its current level. When he reached an unbearable level, Herkana went directly to the Magic System and connected the straw to the core of the Magic System and accepted the infinite Mana directly.

However, after coming to Earth, I was completely unable to supply, so I knew what a wizard who could not use Mana looked like.

The wizard who was not supplied with Mana was not so different from the man who could not breathe or the firefighter who could not use water and fire extinguishers.

After returning to Earth, Lee Hyuk realized the role of the endless Mana, who was supplied to him.

Lee Hyuk, who was tied to a non-constraint constraint, has finally solved that constraint. So what should I do with that feeling?

“Hmm……. ”

Lee Hyuk took a deep breath while feeling Mana kicking into his body.

“Not bad. ”

This satisfaction.

It's been a long time since I've felt this satisfied feeling of a full-bodied Mana.

It used to be so natural.

Lee Hyuk slowly took his hand to his chest.

I can feel Manat Pharmaceutical in my body.

“You okay, Darling? ”

“I'm controlling it. ”

Erkana looks at Lee Hyuk with slightly worried eyes.

Lee Hyuk's recovery will be a great help to the world, but on the contrary, Lee Hyuk's body must bear a greater burden.

A throne of destruction represented by the infinite Mana and the immortal flesh.

The Mana of Infinity was recovered, but the immortal body that would overcome the reactions was not recovered.

‘It didn't collapse at the moment. ’

The worst was avoided.

A normal human body would be shattered just by accepting this amount of Black Horse power. However, Lee Hyuk accepted Mana without much effort.

It was possible because there was extreme horsepower affinity and control, and a body enhanced with ether.

This isn't a joke. ’

Lee Hyuk gripped his teeth as he felt a whirling Mana in his body.

Excitement is good.

However, it is a situation that could be crushed by the pleasure. It seems to be walking on a narrow blade.

But…….

Lee Hyuk smiled unknowingly.

I walked on this many blades. There's only a difference in not having an extra life.

Right now, the pleasure was greater than the side effects and risks of accepting Mana.

“Well, then…. ”

Lee Hyuk smiled and looked at the Demon Kings.

“Who shall we start with? ”
