The Returner

“I entered the training ground without any power problems. ”

“Hmm.”

Reportedly, Song Jong-soo froze his face.

‘Here we go.'

I felt real.

It is like giving all of humanity to those in the dome now.

"Hope. ’

Song Jung-soo smiled badly.

Well, that's hopeless.

The whole world was involved in what began with the feeling of catching straws. Countries with the slightest capacity were eager to engage their talents in any way.

Japan, which was excluded from the construction process, is also now requesting participation through the diplomatic channel. even though I've been forced to tell America myself.

“It'll work, right?”

Song Jeong-soo sighed at Yoon Young-min's words.

“Who knows? I just can't believe it. ”

“Mmmm... ”

Yoon Young-min didn't know that either. I just want to be comforted. Song Jeongsoo wouldn't do such a thing.

“We have to do it now. ”

“Yes.”

Yoon Young-min nodded with a stiff face.

‘I didn't think it would be this big. ’

Those who insist on Lee Hyuk will not go out for a while. Failure is predetermined. It is inevitable that the world will perish while they have power.

It's the same case as looking for luck in a losing gamble. It's amazing, and even if I lose faster because of it, I can't help it.

Therefore, we can no longer ask for the help of Lee Hyuk and NDF. No matter what happens on the Korean Peninsula, they must solve it on their own.

Yoon Young-min, who realized that, understood how big Lee Hyuk's vacancy was.

And how easily he's been serving as president by their power.

‘You don't have to tell me this. ’

As Yoon Young-min sighed, the phone rang.

“What's going on? ”

As Yoon Young-min who received the interphone asked, a quick answer came back.

Christopher MacLaren is requesting a call.

“Connect me.”

Soon after, the phone was immediately connected.

― I'm so sorry to hear that again.

“No. Your contact is always welcome. So, what's going on? ”

― I think I have some bad news for you.

“Bad news? ”

- Yes, bad news.

Yoon Young-min sighed deeply.

If word out of Christopher's mouth is bad news, it's really bad news. This guy has a serious side, so he doesn't fuss about anything.

“I can feel my heart throbbing even though I haven't heard anything yet. So, what's going on? If you wait any longer, you'll die of a heart attack before you even hear it. You'd better tell me quickly. ”

― The Demon Kings are advancing faster.

“Well, I don't think that's bad news. ”

Song Jeong-soo intercepted Yoon Young-min's words.

“How, how fast? ”

― more than three times.

“Rotten.”

Song Jung-soo sighed and turned his back on the couch.

“It can't get any worse, right? ”

― Unfortunately.

“Speak quickly. I don't think it's time for you to start moping around and reacting like that! ”

― The gate has started to open again.

“What?"

Song Jung-soo's eyes shook.

What's that supposed to mean? What gate?

“We've never received such a report. ”

― It's spreading from Africa. Gates are now opening on the European side.

“Where are we...? ”

Song Jung-soo buried his face between his knees.

If there is a God, he must be really bad. Or else you have a habit of seeing and enjoying the despair of humans.

It's better to destroy it all at once, so I think I'll be out of my mind before I die, just to dry off the blood like this and watch it squeeze a little.

“But I can't give up again. Drag it.”

Song Jung-soo took out a cigarette and asked me.

“… Ah, cigarettes. ”

“Smoke it. Let's take care of it, instead of asking." This is no time for presidential authority. ”

“I know this is a time to say something respectful of authority, but I don't have the strength, so I'll just smoke it. ”

Song Jung-soo lit a cigarette on fire and emitted violent smoke.

“I think we should inform KSF first. ”

― Mr. President.

“Go ahead.”

― Now that China has collapsed, the leader of Asia is Korea. Japan has lost its influence for a long time, Southeast Asia is divided. Korea has to step up.

“Is China unrecoverable? ”

― The leadership has been completely destroyed. The aftermath of Beijing being broken is too big. Surviving Communist executives are trying to restore order, but this is the Middle East.

“Well, what's the plan? ”

― Although Taiwan is looking to rebuild, it seems that the Chinese hate Taiwanese more than the Japanese. I thought you'd be okay if you split up from one country.

“That kind of insight kept you there. ”

Even if the Qingwa Dynasty explodes and both the President and the ruling party are dead, they won't leave politics to North Korea. That's what America is trying to do now.

― Taiwan or the remaining Communists will have to push to fix it, but it will be difficult to fix it because they have to put all their strength into their own country.

“I understand. ”

- Yes, of course.

Song Jung-soo filled his tongue as he heard the phone hang up.

‘America is ending. ’

If this had happened before the Demon King appeared, the United States and other surrounding countries would have tried to intervene in China. He may have made all sorts of excuses and excuses to subdivide China.

But now it was impossible.

Survival right now is more important than big gains from far away. The United States was preparing for war with the Demon King by bringing in troops from overseas.

If we don't stop them, we're doomed.

“We will have to wait for Lee Hyuk to finish preparing as quickly as possible while defending ourselves. ”

“Well, yes. ”

Song Jeong-soo glanced out the window with heavy tears.

‘Please hurry, my man. ’

* * *

“Shhh.”

Michael lies flat on the floor.

The dust settles on your mouth, but you can't afford to worry about the sand in your mouth.

All of his mind was focused on the peculiar aura that revolved around his body.

What can I say, this feeling?

Does it feel like a snake made of fire and ice inside of a snake is twitching?

His senses and pain were hard to express.

Cough!

Michael bites the bubble and pushes the floor with his arms.

I looked up and saw Lee Hyuk's face twitching, sitting on the beach chair.

‘Damn it.'

I was confident that I could overcome any training.

He thought his own suffering was no big deal when he thought about the suffering of his people. I thought I would follow you even if you told me not to sleep for a month, and I could endure any humiliation.

However, Lee Hyuk's method crushed all of his decisions.

I thought at least something had to move in order to learn Manara. Actively.

But he came into the dome and said he did it....

“Still can't feel it. ”

Lee Hyuk kicked his tongue, and raised one hand. At the same time, a shining Mana cloud began to form over Michael's head.

Michael looks at the cloud with a dazzled expression.

“Heeheeheeheehee!”

“Oh, no! ”

Screams begin to flow from around him. Those who were laying on the ground without the power to flick their fingers saw Manat's cloud above their heads and began to twist.

We have to run.

However, Lee Hyuk didn't seem to be interested in their will.

As Lee Hyuk's finger lowered down, the cloud over his head began to fall.

“Khh!”

Michael bites his teeth tightly.

The molar felt like it had already been broken and the inside was not properly engaged.

I didn't mean to bite my teeth. If you do not bite your teeth now, your tongue will be cut out while struggling with pain.

And at that moment, Mana's cloud covered Michael.

“Ugh... ”

Manga digs with her whole body. At the same time, the body starts to swell up like a balloon. The strange energy that enters your body flows through your veins. The swollen blood vessels seem to burst soon.

“I'm not asking you to endure the pain! Feel what's inside you! ”

Easy for you to say, asshole.

I wanted to run up to that cheeky bastard and rip out his tongue if I could.

But it was impossible. He can't move a step right now.

Your knees are bent.

My face falls to the ground, but my arms don't react. Michael, who literally slammed his face to the ground, began to groan as he scratched the floor.

I felt no pain even though I fell forward and landed from my face, how much pain I felt inside my body.

It is as if there is no such mild pain. There was more pain in his body now.

‘How long do I have to do this? ’

Until when?

All day long, I've been rolling the floor in Mana's clouds. He was going to die before he could even feel Manat.

Lee Hyuk kicked his tongue at those who rolled the floor.

‘Hard is hard. ’

It is not so hard to take those who live on land to the sea and say, ’This is the water of the sea.' They also all understood what Mana is and how it exists.

But now that we understand seawater, what if we told them to go into the ocean and live like fish?

That's exactly what they're doing right now.

Keep pouring seawater with your mouth and nose until you have gills.

It's an unconscious affair, but it's the only comfort that doesn't have to evolve through generations.

Those who overcome this pain and take Manat's end will surely come out.

‘You have to feel it with your body. ’

No matter how much I explain it, it doesn't make any sense.

Do you understand that you're explaining fire to someone who doesn't know what it is?

If anyone didn't know what fire did, it was the quickest way to put his hand through the flames.

There is damage, but the effects are dramatic.

Of course, Lee Hyuk was taking side effects and pursuing efficiency, and the talents were all dying by the way.

“Still, you have your strengths. Isn't that right?"

Lee Hyuk smiled as he saw a lump of meat writhing in front of him.

“Alpha?”

The figure that heard the word alpha began to twitch.
