The Returner

[493] 4. Are you really going to do this? (3)

Christopher clenched his fist.

‘Damn, I'm nervous. ’

Now I think I'm past tense about this, but I'm a little unstable. If it's natural, it's natural. Everything will be decided today, how can I not be nervous?

‘Surviving today does not guarantee that the war will end. ’

But if Barbacce is right, they will definitely want to see the battle today. As Lee Hyuk said, if Barbace is the best in the world, he will surely try to put his word into practice.

It may not come out as a gunfight from the beginning, but if it does not fall before the end of the day, it is likely to return to a gunfight at the end.

So this is a gunfight, too.

“I know it's hard for everyone. ”

The crew, who were watching the situation, turned around and looked at Christopher.

Their supervisor is not the one to say,

“You must be exhausted. But it's all the same. None of humanity is at ease right now. Everyone lives in fear that they might die tomorrow. ”

Christopher clears his throat and says,

“So don't cry. I'd rather die at my desk. We just have to hold out for today. If you can't stand it, you'll fight to the end and die! You know what I'm saying? ”

“Yes!”

“No matter how hard you try, history will not remember you. All that's left is the name of America. But when you die, you can die thinking I helped save the world. What could be more awesome than that? ”

Christopher shouted with all his heat and his castle.

“So keep your eyes open and mind your own business! Do you know what I mean? ”

“Roger!”

“Great!”

Christopher glances around with puffy eyes.

This is the last time.

There has been a battle in human history that has won the respect of mankind.

‘I feel like a warrior.

Christopher chuckles.

“We have a call from Korea. Gates appear. ”

“Deploy and deploy all the bombers waiting. ”

“Yes!”

“Call Okinawa and have them target it. When you gather, you blow it to the core. ”

“Yes!”

Christopher wipes the cold sweat off his forehead.

I intend to pour out all the firepower I have today without hesitation.

There's no tomorrow anyway.

“We also got a call from Europe. Gate appears! The location is on the Spanish side. ”

“Tell him to take care of himself. ”

“This is a support request. ”

“If you can't handle one of those, why did they build the EU? Tell him there's nothing we can do to support him right now. Solve it yourself!"

“…… Yes. ”

Christopher turns his head to a cold face.

‘Choice and focus. ’

What Europe would look like if they didn't support it. Knowing that, Christopher could not have wasted his power on Europe.

It's in the book that hopes that everyone will survive anyway. Christopher didn't hesitate if he had anything to throw away to save more people.

In return, even if he falls into hell, the world will be a hundred times better than hell.

“Has our side changed at all? ”

“Generating gate. ”

“Of course. ”

Christopher chuckles.

It seemed determined.

Korea, Europe, USA.

Gates are being created in three regions at the same time. They want to get in where they're supposed to stop them.

‘It's not going to be okay, Barbatch. ’

Christopher has distorted his face.

I already expected them to come out here. So I was able to prepare as much as I wanted.

What you can expect is that they will target the army and send their horses through the gate. Then focusing firepower on where they appeared through inverse labor was also not difficult.

“Bombardment!”

“Roger!”

* * *

“What kind of power is that? ”

Lee Hyuk shook his head.

The newly opened gate was bigger than Lee Hyuk thought. Even though the crack in the world made it easier to open the gate like before, it was not easy for Lee Ji-hyuk to open the gate like that.

Unlike Lee Hyuk, who uses Mana as a formula to open the gate, they just instinctively use Mana. Speed and power may be strong, but given that such a waste, the power of the man opening that gate was untouchable.

Lee Ji-hyuk from his prime is worth taking on, but it was not possible with Lee Ji-hyuk from his current period.

‘Who can I deal with now? ’

It was hard to deal with Lee Hyuk today, even though he was a common Demon King, not Barbados. The output was incomparable to the ascent of the door before it opened, but the problem was that the side effects were getting worse and the output could not be used.

If it was just a matter of one life of Lee Ji-hyuk, we could leave the rest to others after it was blown away, but the problem was that the side effects did not end with one life of Lee Ji-hyuk.

If Black Magic Power begins to settle down in the marrow, it may not be the Demon Monarchs who destroy the world, but Lee Hyuk. And like Herkana said, you can't just be a horse.

Lee Hyuk had a strong hatred for the Mages. So, if Lee Hyuk becomes a Maoist, they were more likely to be hostile as well, not to blend in with them.

Then there will not be a new Demon King coming, but the destroyer who takes over the world and swallows it.

‘I'll never see that again. ’

Even if I heard that Lee Hyuk is the Savior of the world, it was a different matter than that, even if he was the type that raised chicken fat from his body.

You cannot be the Savior, but you cannot be the destroyer.

So how do we hold a position?

The gate begins to open with a strange hiss before the worrying is over. And within it, a great horse-drawn beast protrudes out crying out.

“For now, those bastards.... ”

Kuaang! Kuaang! Kuang!

“Huh?"

As soon as Lee Hyuk was about to wake up, the horses started to catch fire. The bombing has begun.

“Who reacts so quickly? ”

It felt like I had sent a bomber ahead of me knowing the gate would open around here.

By the way, I've been meaning to keep flying over your head, and it's all bombers?

“I'm not kidding. ”

It was probably Christopher or Song Jong-soo's knife. After today, we won't have a chance to use that firepower.

Kuaaang! Kuaaang!

Lee Hyuk lit up his eyes as he heard the explosion.

“That's cool."

It tasted different when magic burst and fire burst. When magic explodes, if it tastes fancy, what should I say about firepower... It feels like it releases human barbarity as it is.

It's Lee Hyuk who wants to raise his hand from the side of the fire, but from the side of Qataris.

Magic was boring.

The only thing I didn't like about M-3, the human secret weapon, was that it was shaped like a tank. If they came out with an upright walking weapon, they were willing to clap as soon as they started, but there was a disadvantage that Americans couldn't pursue style because they could only come in handy.

But it was as sure as the firepower.

Kuaaaaang!

Until now, different kinds of firepower have started pouring into the gates. As you lift your head slightly, you can feel something invisible overhead swooping past you at the speed of processing.

“What do I need to see to fight? ”

The gate was already nowhere to be seen due to dust and flames. The firefighter does not stop even though the protruding horses have been chopped up and cooked like meat in a mixer and turned into hamburger patties.

It felt malicious to erase the terrain, whether there was an enemy or not.

“I guess they fought a lot. ”

Lee Hyuk nodded.

While they were gone, it still seemed to me here that humanity suffered from the sorcerers. Do excessively invested firepower contradict how afraid humans are of water?

“To……. ”

Lee Hyuk picked up the phone.

- Hello?

“But how long is this going to last? ”

- Bombardment?

“Yes.”

I felt a sigh in Choi Jung-hoon's voice coming from across the street.

- until it burns out.

“Then why did you call us? If I pour it all over the place, I won't be able to get any of that water out. ”

- Then they would have called him the Demon King.

“Ah!”

Lee Hyuk nodded as if he only understood.

So we can just leave it like this?

“Is this happening everywhere else? ”

― Currently, there are only three gates. And at the same time, the Demon Prince soldiers on the other side of Europe are moving. It looks like the First War is a massacre.

“Hmm……. ”

Lee Hyuk nodded.

‘You sure are strong. ’

The reason why Monster Wars have been so difficult is simple. Humanity has never been able to properly unleash its firepower on monsters. If you do that, you'll suffer more damage from human firepower than from monsters.

As a result of the deserter and the Demon King's escape, the agreement was made that the extent of the land where no human beings exist was widened and that the remaining duration of the facility was not important.

Thanks to this, there is a platform where you can pour your firepower all you want.

‘If you think about it backwards, it's the first time since World War II that humanity has poured out this much firepower. ’

Scientific cleanup was pouring out, even from the standpoint that it had already been used.

Assuming that assumptions that do not take the situation into account are meaningless, but that we can do our best for each other, the result is that the power of humanity is not so pushed even by the hegemony.

Except for the Demon King.

“This should be worth it with Beraf. ”

It was Lee Hyuk who thought that most of the buildings and facilities had already flown away, but if he had taken this kind of damage... he might be able to fight Beraf.

It's just...

“Should we move now? ”

Lee Hyuk turned his head to look one place.

An invisible place in his eyes.

But beyond that, there was definitely him.

“You're trying.”

Barbatch opens his eyes quietly. He felt the best of humanity's resistance.

It's an act of a desperate creature.

Barbace smiles bloody.

“But it's pointless. ”

Barbatch's hands wiggle the air.

At his fingertips, black mana chunks appear, and begin to spread in three segments.
