The World of Masks

“Barefoot?”

But that's it. This is it. As much as Pan Chi Anne asked for regret, she should have received it. Just giving me the blueprints and instructions is enough for me to fulfill my duty. Give and take. If you want something more, you have to give something more.

Let me take my men. You can use it however you want.

“Most of your men were destroyed, weren't they? ”

Obviously a lot of our men are dead, but the word "annihilation" has a fishbowl. I may have lost a lot of my elite minions, but I still have a clear shot. And as soon as I got back, there were dozens of newly tamed monsters.

Obviously, Fabio was attracted to the gummy bears. The more hands you can move, the better. Especially trained by Pan Chi Anne, it was the number one item I wanted as a Fabio.

“Fine. I'd be happy to welcome you.”

Thank you. Thank you.

I felt relieved by the voice of Chi Anne who sold it because of her mood. However, Fabio did not recognize that subtle voice. Plans of how to use Pan Chi Ann's men were just repeating the mountain in his head.

“When are you coming back? ”

We don't have to put this behind us. I'm on my way.

“I see. Don't worry about a bed and breakfast. Come at ease. I'll give you the best hospitality. ”

Thank you for that. I'll see you in a bit.

The phone was disconnected soon. Fabio calls a man who's waiting outside the room until the call is over and throws the phone. His subordinate is furious and receives the phone in his arms. Like a clown, Fabio bursts his smile once.

* * *

AMSS conducted several more patrols. I had to learn a little more about my enemies' endless abilities. He tried to get as much information about Fabio's strength or power as he could, including Charles, by putting a number of 'God-bearers' into the river. There were dangerous situations in the liver, but fortunately, there was no loss of 'those who held God'. There were only minor injuries.

And the day of battle was finally dawning.

A massive coalition forces have surrounded Mexico City. The Allied forces consisted mostly of artillery. All the weapons that could strike directly at the altar were in Fabio's shadow, including guns, retractors, and multi-tool guns.

Allied ships have been submerging the sea to provide missile support at any time in the sea. The fighters, bombers, etc. were standing by to launch at any time.

It was a massive joint operation between the Allied forces and AMSS following Melbourne's defensive warfare as Valahu.

Pair!

Charles slaps his cheek lightly and looks ahead to Mexico City. The city remained silent as if dead. You can see the sheer terror that the villagers are emitting. We don't know how many casualties will be on this operation. However, it was clear that a small number would be sacrificed. But I couldn't worry about it. It is a situation where evil spirits may come to this world. If Nidelbad comes, it won't be enough to turn a city into a battlefield.

Now, even if I had to make sacrifices, I needed to be prepared to stop God's resurrection.

Operation time was running out. Even veteran Charles can't be nervous. However, many experiences have kept Charles' consciousness from becoming tense. I waved my legs lightly and kept the tension to a reasonable degree.

Puang!

The flare finally goes off. A group of artillery artillery artillery artillery artillery waiting a little further up the air. Charles' good eye catches a cannonball rising in the sky. You see a missile flying with a fierce flame thrown to its side.

Overwhelming shells and missile rains. What they were after were structures that were set up in various parts of the city.

Phew!

Black Thorns surge across Mexico City. Rising like giant hedgehogs' thorns on the perimeter, they begin to intercept the cannonballs and missiles in unison.

Pow! Pow! Boom!

A huge pyrotechnical game unfolds over the city. The intercepted cannonballs and missiles begin to explode indefinitely. The sky in blue Mexico City was immediately covered with loud noise, red sparks and hazy smoke.

Charles shakes his head. Definitely expected reactions and expected sights. But when I saw it with my own eyes, I could desperately understand how absurd Fabio was.

The first attack is intercepted, but the Allied forces do not stop. They fire indiscriminately at the altars. Shadows dance around the city under attack.

Charge!

Command has been issued from the communicator. Charles unleashed his power.

Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Lightning started to flow around his body. Charles consciously loads himself into a single strand of lightning.

Knng!

The light flashes. A massive cerebral event loads Charles and flies quickly toward the structure. Charles arrived in front of the structure in a flash.

Phage!

A blue concussion flashes into Charles' hands. You can see workers fleeing from the Allied forces during heavy reinforcement construction. Most of them were forcibly taken from the city. If this lightning strikes now, they will all be electrocuted and die.

Charles grips his teeth. As long as you're ready. Charles waves his arms without hesitation.

Grrrrr!

Hundreds of lightning strikes towards the altar. I could see the people staring at me with their eyes filled with fear. Even in the blinding light of lightning, Charles can't feel his eyes. At the very least, he had to see and bear with the victims he was going to kill.

Puang!

But luckily or unhappily, Charles' lightning did not strike the altar or the workers. No, I couldn't even get to the altar.

Boom!

Charles lightly steps to the ground. I looked straight up where the altar was.

“Can't it be that easy? ”

Charles mutters as he looks at the great wall of shadow blocking the altar. But there was also a slight sense of relief.

You can see the workers rushing around. I failed to destroy the altar, but people didn't die either.

'Yes, let's think about it better.'

At least he killed innocent people with his own hands. The answer begins again with a flash of lightning.

Kuang!

Dozens of thick lightning strikes the shadow. The shadow rises.

“I knew he was weak. ”

[Hmm. That should be enough to break.]

You concentrate quite a bit of strength on defending the altar, but you don't see any spider webs spreading across the surrounding ground. It all seemed to have been used to create that huge shadow. But with this kind of shadow, I thought I could wake up in a little while.

Yeah, as long as it takes.

Charles leaps back.

Kuaang!

The massive shadow flickers to the point where Charles dodges. The snake-like shadow pierces through the ground, targeting Charles again.

“You made it! ”

Charles cries out, gazing at the shadows coming out of the center of Mexico City.

“But I won't be the only one fighting this time. ”

Kuang! Kuang! Kuang!

As soon as Charles said so, there was an explosion all over Mexico City. Light, fire, ice, wind, etc. have different abilities, but powerful superpowers, together, are crushing the altars and attacking the shadows.

“This time I brought a whole bunch of friends! ”

Kuang!

I yelled loudly and lightning struck. Along with him, the Alliance bombing has resumed.

“Yuck!”

Charles twists sideways.

Kuang!

One of the cannonballs that grazed his body explodes into the ground. There is a small crater in its power.

“What a brutal fire! ”

[Didn't you expect it already? It's not just things with high accuracy.]

It was already surrounded by shells and missile rain. Most of the cannonballs and missiles drop straight to the altar, but there's not much left to miss and devastate the surroundings. Some of the dogs fell into the neighboring villages. There may have been a lot of damage. Of course, Charles, who tried to destroy the altar, could not escape the threat of the cannonball.

“Suck!”

Phage!

Avoid falling shells or attacking shadows or attacking altars? Charles makes a busy mockery of himself.

The lightning flashes back into the shadows. When I heard the sound, other places didn't have any clear results either. Rather, the sight of shells and missiles being completely intercepted by the shadows stretching from the ground seemed to be the case for the Allied forces and AMSS.

If it's dark, it's dark. But Charles' expression was not so dark.

“Hey, Ueron. Did you feel it?”

[Hmm.]

Charles shines his eyes, avoiding the shadow of an assault like a giant monster from a monster movie he once enjoyed as a child.

“The shadows are clearly slowing down. Eun-hee was right! ”

Kuaang!

A huge lightning bolt descends from the air. The shadow immediately reacts to protect the altar. However, the point of the lightning bolt was clearly moving closer to the altar. It was evidence that the Shadow's reaction was delayed.

“Okay, we have a chance! Let's go to the end! ”

Charles charges toward the altar through the rain of cannonballs and missiles, wrapped in lightning.

* * *

“Mmmm!”

Fabio frowns. The shadows connected under his feet continue to transmit information about the city. The Allied forces and AMSS have been distracted by the constant response to attacks on all sides.

“Should I say AMSS as well? You're stabbing me where it hurts. ”

Even though he has become stronger, Fabio is human in every way he deals with that power. Unlike the original altar, which greatly increases strength, stamina, intelligence, and life, Fabio built the altar, which primarily increases the power of the superpowers rather than the power of man. Although fundamental physical and mental abilities have also risen, the current situation of accepting brute force information from all over and responding to it has been a bit harsh for Fabio.

[It's because of that Eun-hee Lee.]

“I hope so, too. ”

This time, the new Chancellor will be completely politically elected. I didn't think he was a man worth scouting for information and stabbing at his sickness.

He naturally recalled Eun-hee, the vice president of AMSS and a former member of the Board of Chi Anne.

“This is, by the way, the second worst situation I expected. ”

By the way, the worst situation was the situation that completely ignored the lives of the citizens of the city and was pushed to the core by hostility. I thought it was unlikely, but it was definitely an experience I didn't want to experience, even though I had a rough plan.

“I don't think it's working. ”

Pan Chi Anne, who had recently moved to Mexico with his men, asked.

“These things stab where they hurt. ”

“Is it dangerous?”

“No, that's not it. ”

Fabio stands up. I snapped my fingers and neck and loosened myself with a threatening sound.

“But it's also true that it bothers me. No matter how physically strong I am, I feel tired even if I can survive without sleeping for months. But if these flies fly off without knowing the theme, my head aches. ”

“Are you going? ”

Fabio smiles. He sees a sparkling fang between his lips. At least now, the serpent who wants to bite the snake's neck and drink its blood flashes. Even Pan Chi Anne, who was not the target of the murder, was sweating a lot on her back.

“This city is mine, and this America will be mine. No lion would dare leave a bunch of cowardly bastards running around in his territory. ”

Fabio walks out the door, leaving only that. Nady felt confident every step of the way.

Pan Chi Anne looked at Fabio's exit for a while. Soon she smiled.

“Beware. I pray you win. ”

Her smile was surprisingly similar to that of the flesh that Fabio had just made thinking of those he called his enemies.
