-9 Volume 15

The colonel, who had wiped the tears that welled up in his eyes, soon turned into a look that traced his memory and said.

“Well, in a way, you may be right, but you have never actually seen Chernobog, have you?”

“If it’s a documentary video, I’ve seen it.”

“You can’t feel the power of Chernobog from that. I was from Moscow.”

“Have you ever seen Chernobog in real life?”

"okay. I was there when he destroyed Moscow. At the expense of his family, he escaped there by surviving four lives. What happened after that is indescribable. But I can assure you, all the pain and suffering I have experienced until I am here is incomparable to the despair I felt when I saw Chernobog. Why is his name Chernobog?”

The colonel rolled his eyes and groaned.

“It is an existence that cannot be classified as a monster. It's a dark god! He is not an opponent that humans can dare to fight.”

“…I just killed Herbor, one of the five giant beasts, a while ago.”

“Things like Herbor are nothing but small daggers. The 5th giant and everything that people say is just a word people have attached to them. Chernobog is different from Herbor.”

“I know that Chernobog is at the top of the 15-star ... monster risk classification.”

“You said He's not a monster. He is literally a demon, a god!”

Colonel Vladimir threatened Jung Daesik in that way, but he did not turn down his offer to take down Chernobog.

He knows his priorities. He said fighting the rebels was important, but getting rid of Chernobog was more important.

As the saying that he was from Moscow supports, the colonel was well aware that he would one day take down Chernobog.

Even if Jung Daesik failed to kill him, he could obtain various information based on it, so it was not a loss-making business.

Moreover, the plan Jung Daesik mentioned, it wasn't bad to let Durahan and the madman fight and take advantage between them.

So Jung Daesik and Fenrir's troops got on the train with the soldiers sent by Colonel Vladimir.

“The train has arrived. Let’s go.”

The person who was entrusted with the support of the Fenrir unit by the colonel was Major Mikhail.

With his guidance, the Fenrir troops were assigned the best first class seats on the train. It was a bed compartment, so I could sleep on it, and the window was wide, and there was a table, cabinet, and a small bathroom attached to it. Moreover, it was convenient to use as it was close to the dining room.

"For some reason, I thought I would be very poor if I took the Trans-Siberian train, but I'm so proud."Heo Mi-rae responded to Kim Song-geun's muttering words.

"The economy seats in the back will be scarce. People ride a lot."

"But now you can't cross Siberia on this one. Shouldn't the name be changed?"

Until they got on the train, chatting useless chatter, the atmosphere of the troops was normal.

Although they showed a curious look at the fact that the soldiers were accompanied by them, they did not bother to ask the reason.

Because he fully believed in Jung Daesik, he did not have any doubts. But when the talk that Chernobog had to be defeated, everyone turned pale.

"Why didn't Chernobog avoid such a promise as much as possible?"

"Anyway, our purpose is to fight magic. There is no need to fight such a monster."

After listening to Jaewoo Lee and Chulmin Ki in turn, Jung Daesik pointed out.

"It is our plan to do as little damage as possible, but it is also our plan to assume the worst case scenario. So the main point is not changed. And if we can defeat Chernobog, we will have a big harvest. That way, I won't have to worry about the lighthead anymore."

"Are you going to gain another power from the magic war?"

At Ki Cheol-min's question, Jung Daesik nodded his head.

"Yes. Everyone must be aware of what we agreed on about the magic crystals from the dungeons we attack."

"of course."

While everyone nodded, Jung Daesik continued.

“The value of the magical gemstones obtained after defeating Chernobog will be beyond our imagination. As a result, the ability we can obtain will also grow dramatically. Even if we just settle the magic gemstones, we can earn a lot of money. It's probably enough money that you don't have to go into the dungeon until you stop. Wouldn't it be worth risking your life?"

There was silence at Jung Daesik's words. Silence means positivity. Jung Daesik went on to say he knew no one was against him.

"Of course, defeating Chernobog will be more dangerous than any hunting we've ever done. But we still have time before we meet him. It will be a rough road to get to his dungeon in Moscow. Because half of Russia's territory is nested and monsters are swarming, we will be able to go through enough training until we reach Chernobog."

God Deok-hwa, who had been silent, suddenly spit out.

"It's nice to hear that."

At those words, all of his troopers smiled bitterly and wildly.

Jung Daesik saw the confidence return to their faces. However, in any circumstance, Chi Chul-min, who was cold-hearted, pointed out what happened after the hunt that other colleagues had not been thinking about.

"But even if we take down Yongke Chernobog, there is no external danger. There is no guarantee that the Russians won't do the same to us as hyenas."

Ki Cheol-min was worried that the Fenrir units, exhausted after hunting Chernobog, would be raided by Russian soldiers or the Awakened, stealing what they had acquired and killing them.

But Jung Daesik glanced at the soldiers standing on the lookout outside the train car and said:

"Perhaps if they follow us into Chernobog's realm and survive if they survive."

Jung Daesik thought they wouldn't do their job. So, when he was asked to apply, he stubbornly refused.

Colonel Vladimir's intention to send a support unit with him was obvious.

“For Chernobog hunting, my troops are enough. If you take the soldiers with you, you will only be killed.”

“My unit is not an ordinary unit. A special unit made up only of the Awakened. You don't have to worry about them as they've been fighting with monsters and the rebels who are capable. They have skills comparable to any other hunter. It would be helpful, not a hindrance.”

In the end, he could not turn down the colonel's words and was forced to accompany a special support unit led by Major Mikhail.

They had a total of fifty people, and it was doubtful how many of them would survive. And that fear soon became a reality.

Episode 54. Demon King

Clap Clap Clap... Clap Clap Clap.....

Jung Daesik, who had fallen asleep to the sound of a train running as a lullaby, was woken up by the noise of another sleeping car.

Once I opened my eyes, my consciousness became clear in an instant, and when I went outside, Mi-rae Heo and Jae-woo Lee were clinging to the car window in the hallway.

"What's going on?"

Seeing Jung Daesik come out, the two of them pointed out the window, seeing nothing in the dark. When he tilted his head because he couldn't see anything else, Mi-rae Heo said as if he was in trouble.

“Isn’t the train running too fast from before?”

"I'm running almost at high speed."

Come to think of it, it was much faster than the average speed to pass by the scenery outside the car window. I don't know if the passengers are taking advantage of their sleeping time to slow down, but it seems to be getting faster and faster.

Eventually, when all the other unit members woke up, a soldier came in from outside and explained the situation.

“The monsters are chasing after the train. We're accelerating to get rid of them, so don't worry about it and go to sleep."

“A monster? What kind of monster are you talking about?」

“Cockatrices often appear in this area.”

If it was a Cockatrice, it was a monster that looked like a chicken, and was a fairly menacing monster with a 3-4 star rating. They sometimes appear as boss mobs in low-risk dungeons, but I was concerned about the word 'bastards'.

“How many Cockatrices are chasing?”

The soldier asked as if strangely.“Of course it’s a bunch. There will be about 20 or 30 of them.”

Hearing those words, Jung Daesik's expression turned into a puzzled expression. Cockatrice haunts herds. Is it really on a Russian scale? Thinking it was a country occupied by monsters, Jung Daesik saw the train rattle precariously as if it was going to derail.

“Are you able to outrun them?”

“Since this is a plain, the railroad is straight. You can do it if you run at top speed. Even if it is difficult to get rid of it, the mercenaries will solve it.”

The train was hiring mercenaries as a way to protect passengers from monsters. Killing those who threaten the train with them on board.

I don't know what their skills are, but it seems that the train cost has become very expensive.

He said that one family's monthly living expenses were broken even to buy the cheapest seat at the back.

For now, he replied yes, and Jung Daesik sent his men back to their respective beds. He too returned to his bed, but the train was running like it was about to break, and he couldn't sleep. Jung Daesik sat quietly, looking at how many monsters there were as his attention extended.

'About 20 people chasing after the train? and.......'

Jung Daesik, who was concentrating on consciousness, was startled.

'no?'

A monster was detected in the direction of the train.

I don't know what kind it was, but I had an ominous feeling. The train might just hit and pass, but if it's running so fast and it's a big guy, it might derail.

Then, a catastrophe was pictured in Jung Daesik's mind. At that time, even the engine room seemed to have noticed the monster blocking the railroad tracks.

beep-

The whistle sounded loudly, and the roof suddenly thumped. As Jung Daesik opened the window and lengthened his neck outside, he saw several armed men running over the roof of the train.

It seemed that they were none other than mercenaries.

Their behavior when they were awakened was not much different from that of ordinary hunters. However, there was a wire hanging from his body, and when he reached the lead, he fastened his body by hooking the iron ring at the end to the safety bar attached to the edge of the train. Then, a weapon such as a bazooka was fired in an invisible front.

Phu-huh!

Lights flashed in front with a roar. I couldn't see how things were going by sticking my head out the window. However, as Jung Daesik sensed as an extension of his attention, the monster did not disappear. He was still alive, and suddenly the train began to brake.

Plugging in device geek-!

When I applied the brake while driving at high speed, the inside of the train was a mess.

"Aww!"

"Ahhhhhh!"

People scrambled around, screaming, and all the belongings placed in the luggage compartment poured out, causing a commotion.
