The Returner
[510] 2. I would like to make an offer (5)
‘Buff……. ’
Seo Ah-young looked down at her hands. When Manat was first hit, the intense light faded, but I felt that the body was emitting a subtle light.
Seo 'a-young felt the power of Buff when she was fighting Bolonac the other day. This buff seemed to raise all of its overall stats as long as the Black Magic power given by Lee Hyuk in the past only enhances its aggression and attack power.
What's better?
‘This is better. ’
Effectiveness was a disagreement, but at least it wasn't painful to get buffed.
“Hurrah!”
Seo Ah-young forcefully shook her hands.
I've got a buff, so why don't you give it a try?
Her hands start to burn. The flames that were made from both hands coalesce together in front of her chest, and within moments, a great whirlpool of flames rises.
Tornadoes of Flame attack the Demon Kings.
‘It's big.’
When I strengthened my ether with Mana and added it to Lee Hyuk's buff, I felt ten times more firepower than I had before.
I feel like I can do anything....
Blur-ub.
As the Demon King waved his hand in front of him, a huge flame bloomed and extinguished just as it consumed the world.
“Cats freeze to death. ”
Seo Ah-young sharpened her teeth.
I forgot who she was dealing with for a moment. The Demon Monarchs' power was at a level she could not dare to reach, no matter how much Mana she used and got buffed.
But what…….
She's not alone.
“Tsk!”
Aethers pour down from all sides and start hitting the Demon Kings.
I felt the stunning sensation of the Demon Kings rushing from the front. A short time ago, the vanguard who had been hit but had not stopped advancing was bent.
‘If you do well……. ’
In Seo Ah-young's head, the word "hope" began to engrave.
It's still disadvantageous.
It would be disadvantageous. It's hard for her to deal with the Demon Kings even though the calculations are unclear. No matter how much power we gather, we can't help but wonder if we can handle a large number of Demon Kings.
But now I'm starting to change my mind.
It works.
It works.
You feel that their firepower is clearly damaging the Demon Kings. After realizing that, there began to be hope on Seo Ah-young's face.
Maybe…….
Perhaps they can defeat the Demon Kings today and take on a new life. Maybe.

“Pushing!”
“Get rid of the gear and introduce them to the front, where the horses have infiltrated. Use your reserves to rebuild the front barricade! ”
“… but I'm working on it. ”
“I know, you bastard! Ask the top to detonate a nuke here. ”
“It's too close to get hit by a distraction. ”
“I said I know! Are you just going to die like this? ”
“… I'll ask for it. ”
Jung In Soo bites his teeth tightly.
I know.
This shit is about sacrificing the future to get the present.
But if I die here, I have no future. I don't know how many people will suffer for what he does today, but it is important that even if it is a painful birthday, it can go on with their lives. At least we'll have a choice.
‘Neither do I. ’
He's already been exposed for countless years. When the war is over, you may never live as a soldier again. Knowing it, she did not hesitate.
The value of a soldier's existence is to protect civilians. Until the moment everyone here died, he had no intention of retreating.
It was a pity for those who were imprisoned, not those who chose this as their profession, but it was also a duty.
“Shoot! Go! ”
“The front is so crowded……. ”
“I know, just go, you bastards! Are we all gonna die together? ”
“… Yes! ”
An essence bites the lip while directing an M-3 blow to the front line where the monster penetrated.
If you shoot a battlefield mixed with me, you didn't even notice that an ally will die. But if you stop shooting because you're afraid of casualties, everyone will be swept away.
This was closer to dealing with an infectious agent.
If you leave the slightly contaminated area alone, the contaminant source digs through your body in an instant. If you dare not cut that part, it is the end.
Of course, cutting off the infected area will cause massive wounds, but it will cause pain that you would rather die.
Jung In Soo bites his teeth tightly.
“Hold on!”
“Yes!”
“The NDFs are fighting for their lives now. And I will come back victorious. But what if there was nothing left of the land that came back? ”
“Yes!”
“Hang on! Hang on, hang on! We hold out until the last one dies and there's no flesh left. Behind us is a civilian. We can't touch anyone until we're all dead! ”
“Yes!”
The morale booster once again checks the map.
I couldn't say the situation was a joke.
Those who lose NDF are also not particularly good in terms of power than other countries.
Rather, it was several times weaker than China, which had been destroyed by the Waves of the Shamans without the Demon King.
The reason they were able to endure was the presence of M-3, the narrowed lines, and the know-how that has been accumulated throughout the battle since the dawn of war.
I was attacked from the start, and have survived the attack to date.
Now it is no exaggeration to say that every soldier in Korea is a war specialist.
So there was a limit to how long it could last.
I wanted to ask for support, but Jung Myung Soo tightly clenched his fist.
‘There is no one to help. ’
The only NDFs who could help were fighting harder than they were. So this is a place only for them to survive on their own.
“I'll make you a place to come back to. ”
Jung In Soo looks at the battlefield with a resolved eye.

“… Is it a start? ”
Song Jeong-soo rubbed off the cigarette that was smoking and took out a new cigarette and asked her mouth.
“I did everything I could. ”
“Of course.”
Seeing footage of Song Jung-soo engaging with the horses, he nodded his head.
Fights that determine the fate of the world are being fought elsewhere, but if this place is pushed, their fate will be decided regardless of the fate of the world. I can't deny the importance of combat here.
‘I think we can hold out. ’
Jung In-su was doing better than I thought. Appointing an acquisition as a Defence Commander was an adventure, but considering all aspects, it was the right decision to think that there was no one more able to understand the beast and the beast and to conduct against it.
Song Jin-su opened her mouth thinking that her choices had extended their lives a little.
“Is the situation in the United States not visible on the screen? ”
“We're out of satellite orbit. You can request a screen broadcast but……. ”
“I can't do that. But it's not something you should care about. ”
“That's right.”
Song Jung-soo smiled lightly.
“All power has been delegated to the Secretary of Defense and Lt. Gen. Jeong, so now all we have to do is watch. ”
“No. Joining destiny is also a role. ”
“Phew, right. ”
Song Jing-soo felt the power drain from her body.
I've endured a long, long fight. Just as I thought his role was ending, a terrible fatigue was coming.
“Not yet. ”
“… of course. ”
Song Jung-soo nodded his head and caught my mind. Now, even if he had little to do, he had an obligation to keep an eye on the situation to the end.
If something doesn't happen below, he should. That was his role.
“When this war is over.... ”
“Yes?”
“Would you like to go for a hike with me? ”
“Hahahaha!”
Yoon Young-min burst out a big smile.
“If you can. But I don't think I can make it up there with you. Come on, let's go fishing together. ”
“Yes, that would be great. ”
Song Jung-soo smiled at the screen.
‘Fishing... ’
It would be nice if peace could be restored.
But Song Jing-soo knew.
Perhaps peace will be restored, but they will not be able to afford it. South Korea, which has lost two-thirds of its land, will have to endure hell even if the war continues.
War leaves nothing but pain.
‘Nevertheless, we must win. ’
Even if all that remains is pain.
Song Jung-soo desperately wished for the safe return of the warriors who would fight in the United States.
“Hey, there! ”
“Yes?”
Yoon Young-min's urgent voice called out to Song Jing-soo.
“Hey, look over there! ”
Song Jung-soo, who saw the place Yoon Young Min pointed at in horror, distorted his face.
What the hell is going on?

“How does it work? ”
“… right? ”
Rudra tilts her head.
"This, Buff, is more powerful than I thought. ’
I felt a sudden increase in firepower thanks to Lee Hyuk.
‘We could have caught one without Buff. ’
But with the firepower up, no matter how many Demon Kings gathered, it couldn't have been easily approached.
I feel like I'm waving a machine gun at a shielded enemy in body armor. Even though the machine gun was a BB gun and not a proper gun, a hundred rounds of grief per second could have shocked someone in body armor.
Maybe!
Hope is what always happens.
“Interesting.”
Barbace smiles at the fiercely resistant humans.
“I would have told you. Don't ignore Humans. ”
This voice was beautiful whenever I heard it. even if the contents of it contain a terrible twist.
“Don't ignore the humans. Well, that's an interesting thing to say. ”
“Your carelessness will take your throat, Barbacce. ”
“No, Herkana. ”
“Not what? ”
“Now that I mention it, I've never been careless. ”
“… What? ”
Barbace smiles.
“This is the ninety-ninth Demon King I've faced. And one thing that is different is that we have never succeeded in conquering humanity. But I wouldn't be so careless. ”
Erkana narrows her eyes.
What is he saying now?
“Now all the actors are here. Then we'd better get started. ”
“Start?”
“Yes."
Barbace nods.
“It is important to create a stage to successfully lead the script. Come on, let's have some fun, Herkana. This stage could be a tragedy or a farce. ”
