Return of the Archmage

Chapter 43

Kang In-ho's cell phone rang loudly while receiving the cracked cores and equipment he had gathered to strengthen.

The urgent voice coming from the cell phone.

Kang In-ho nods with a firm expression.

"Why?"

"What a mess, China."

Hang up the phone and sigh.

"What's going on?"

"There's a crack brake in Guangzhou. That's also level six."

"What?"

What was delivered through the phone call was not strange at all.

Lee Hyun-hwa hurriedly calls the user management headquarters.

I can't say I don't know because it's Chinese business.

It has already been influenced by the situation in neighboring countries 30 years ago because it is a global era, but how can the phenomenon of monsters appearing in the world not affect it?

Fortunately, it didn't happen in the immediate area, but the risk is small, but you never know.

It's the job of the disaster control department to be prepared just in case.

Of course, the worst always comes when you think it's the worst.

"Give it to him, too. It was an underwater crack."

"…what?"

This is why Kang In-ho's expression was not good.

Lee Hyun-hwa, who heard the news, became more serious.

I called just in case, but from now on, I should think that there is a direct threat.

Likewise, not right next to each other, but underwater monsters that are released into the sea are the kind you should never face on a crack brake.

That's also level 6.

"That's crazy."

If any of the monsters that come out of the rift escape to the sea.

If you swim and destroy everything you face in the sea.

"How did he do that?"

After finishing the report, Lee Hyun-hwa asked as she packed her luggage.

I have been allergic to Lee Hye-sung, but now is not the time for personal curiosity.

It won't be just her.

There will be an emergency in many countries, or the whole world, where news will be heard soon.

Kang In-ho sighed and told me exactly what he heard.

"Core trafficking. And then there's a war. I think my core mana exploded while fighting.”

You wouldn't know why it led to a crack brake before.

You'd expect a deal to happen just in time for a crack to build up around and a crack to break.

But not now.

Kang In-ho has already shown how crack brakes work in China, and his hypothesis is well established.

"You bastards."

There's nothing different about swearing here.

"How long will the brakes take place?"

"Three hours."

"And now you're here? They're crazy."

He runs away, cursing roughly.

Lee Hye-sung kicked his tongue at the sight.

"The information seems to be fast if the state agency doesn't know yet, but if it came in three hours, I guess it was late to find it there."

"The report was late from the start.”

"Level 6 crack brakes are bigger than the one in Seoul last time, right?"

"It was a deformed evolutionary brake, so wouldn't it be almost like our brakes?”

Then, he secretly asks.

"You've already taken revenge?”

"Huh?"

"I mean, the brakes. Didn't you make it on purpose? I'm taking revenge on you last time. The phone I just received is a successful call."

"Huh?"

However, he pouts his mouth as soon as he returns to his absurd expression.

"You must have gone too far."

I'm afraid you're choking on your taste buds.

If it was fantasy, I would have thought it was revenge as if it were natural.

Not only Lee Hyesung, but everyone in the world.

No, there must be people on Earth who think like that.

The problem is that only the parties didn't do that's

"I don't go that far. Although it's a convincing revenge. It's a crack brake that damages our country, right?”

"You do."

It's a wide range of skewers with no threat from all over the world.

The release of monsters that users can't handle in the sea means that there is a possibility that all trade through the sea will be paralyzed.

An underwater crack was opened in Guangzhou, which is close to the sea.

"But if China has an idea, it will seal the sea first and tighten the siege."

The catch is late and the monster level is 6.

Hell gates have been opened, but there is one thing for sure.

"That's a punishment."

The fact that China will suffer greatly.

"What are you going to do?”

"What?"

In that situation, Lee Hye-sung watched Kang In-ho with interest.

No. 1 in the world, what is the value of this man?

"China, I think you're gonna ask for help."

"I guess so. Oh, it's annoying. I don't really want to help."

If left alone, the damage will increase.

There may come a time when many civilians will die and the death is not just China's business.

There's one thing I'

At a crossroads.

Will he choose to be a Korean or a user?

Whatever choice you make is not forced.

Kang In-ho made the decision without hesitation.

"I haven't asked you to help me yet, so just strengthen it. They've done it, and they're not shamelessly asking for free help. I'll listen to how much it will cost and think about whether to go experiment with the enhanced items. I gave up my six-level crack radar schedule because of this, but I can't waste my time."

"Sure thing."

His choice was perfect for Lee Hye-sung.

acting only in one's own interests, not biased towards either side

However, he is always ready to use his country as a shield.

"As expected, you and I have something in common. I'll be nice to you."

"Thank you, buddy. Haha!"

"Yes, give me everything you have. I'm going to read what I want in detail."

Kang In-ho's collections appeared splendidly at the beach in Gyeongpo.

***

Underwater monsters pour out of the crack.

Fish! Monsters running fins and breathing through gills.

The pouring of dozens and hundreds of fish reminds me of pouring fish trapped in a large tank.

Of course, anyone with common sense may not take this matter so seriously.

No matter how level 6 crack it is.

You said it was an underwater crack. I don't know how the brakes came out, but it's either the sea breaks or it's a piece of crap. Monsters breathing in the water came out, and it's just a free experience and a core. We just have to stop them from going to the sea.

It's a natural thought and it's true.

In fact, monsters pouring out of crack brakes instinctively find water.

If there's a problem.

That's a compliment. It was already discovered 15 years ago that underwater monsters living in cracks breathe out of water for up to 72 hours.

Monsters come out into the world and their lives are only 72 hours away, feeling threatened and unable to breathe.

- Moreover, they instinctively find the location of the water, so they're like other land monsters, and when the time comes, they gather together and head to the sea. There weren't many underwater crack brakes, but it was hell every time it opened. But this time it's level six. If only one or two animals go out to the sea, the sea becomes a place where you have to look around while looking for them.

Anyway, as those facts were revealed, the atmosphere in the user community became more and more serious.

The most serious thing is the Chinese people.

Although they were users on the scene.

"Stop it!"

"Watch out under the ground!"

Level 6 monsters cannot predict attack patterns.

Monsters' skills that start at level 4 are different, but they get worse when they go up to level 5 and go up to level 6.

Playing as it looks doesn't change.

However, the constraints are gradually breaking down.

Level 6 underwater monsters.

It destroys the city center and seeps underground, snatching humans from underfoot at some point.

The damage to the smartness of level 6 monsters, who don't even play head-to-head when it's hard to win head-to-head, is inevitable.

In addition, China planned to spread its siege network to prevent monsters from escaping.

Those level users who have to endure the arrival of rankers from the vast continent are actually prey.

Far from closing the crack brakes, it's hard to even catch the monsters that way.

The damage was accumulated and accumulated to buy time, and Chinese users began to counterattack about 12 hours before the crack brake closed naturally.

As the population was large, China's potential was not negligible as it developed into a powerful country.

"Kill me!"

It was strong, but it took a long time to discover too late and start a counterattack.

Eventually, the crack brakes shut down naturally.

The distorted crack disappears.

"Blood, get away!"

Sea water began to pour into Guangzhou.

"Growl!"

With a shark that is huge enough to smash a huge building with a body bump.

***

Johnson Shark.

The name given to the boss monster, which came with the closure of the level 6 crack brakes in Guangzhou.

Estimation level 7.

It is spilled with seawater and artificial seawater moves along the Johnson Shark area.

It's like a huge invisible tank followed.

The problem is that there are not only Johnson Shark but all the monsters that survive.

In addition, it was directed to the continent, not directly to the sea.

From China's point of view, it was rather hoped that the flag would be turned to another country.

It feels like a forest fire has spread, not a fire in the foot.

He hurriedly asked for help from neighboring countries and saved his users.

The number of casualties has increased, but they have not even dared to stop it.

I can't help it.

If you want to stop it, you have to deal with Johnson Shark first, but who dares to predict the probability of going into the water and fighting against hundreds of level 6 monsters along with level 7 boss?

That's how everywhere Johnson Shark moves is destroyed.

By far the most casualties were the place where the Guangzhou crack brakes took place.

Numerous users' bodies were torn to shreds and swept away by the water.

A gloomy city full of the energy of death.

There was no one left to mourn the disaster that took place in just half a day.

They couldn't even groan, and even those who fainted were left unattended.

In an abandoned space, did God not abandon humans?

Whoosh-

The door opened once again when the crack brakes were applied, and the natural closure was distorted.

But it's a different door from the crack brake.

Golden!

A woman throwing up!
