Chapter 279: He is…-2

#1

A deserted plateau was turned into a shabby airfield. A large giant quadcopter sits down where there were usually two or three smaller aircraft around it. There were thick armors and various firearms that emitted a thunderous light as if it wasn't just for the flight. Meanwhile, people were busy moving. More than a dozen maintenance personnel were a.s.signed with Atlas specifically for this mission.

On the outskirts of Atlas, armed hunters were on the lookout.

“Be careful, slowly!”

“Enter the A4 blade test!”

“65% output from the D2 rotor!”

“Keep going until you get 80 percent!”

“Okay, and I think the C6 blade needs to be replaced.”

“What for?”

“The joint was rattled and you need to return to the maintenance window to do some special welding.”

“I cannot help it, turn it into a spare! ”

“Okay.”

“Do you replace refrigerant here?”

“That's it!”

The extreme environment of Antarctica provides equally extreme stress, whether mechanical or human.

Because the Atlas was also a machine, the rotor responsible for the flight and the power transmission unit has been damaged a lot.

“It's starting at dawn! I have to guess until then! ”

“Okay.”

After everyone responded bravely to the conductor's cry, they began to focus on the maintenance. The three children outside the fence were hiding behind the concrete and looking at it.

In one child's hand, there was a piece of folded paper that seemed to have been torn out of a magazine. He nodded at the huge helicopter that was landing on the airfield.

“Is that right?”

“Huh, right, brother.”

“Victor told you not to do anything today,” a small child whispered around as if he was uneasy.

“Stay quiet. Simeone!” The child who was the largest said with a finger in his mouth.

He was more like a boy than a child.

“Nicholas, I … I can't. ”

“Simeone… This is the fate of you and my dad! Wouldn't it be possible to miss it?”

“No, but Hunter said it was dangerous for her.” Simeone was nervous at the words of Nicholas.

“You can't do that!”

“That's true, but my mom told me not to talk to the border guards,” said the child, pointing to the hunters on the border.

To be precise, it was not a border guard. It's a private clan called the Red Water Clan, but it's a location where the borders of Argentina and Chile make a contract with the state and even work as a border guard.

They were stationed in remote areas, which could be called the end of the world, so it was hard to say that it was rough.

If caught, it did not end with confusion. However, the oldest child didn't seem to give up.

“There was only one person, the Master Archer, who could save yours and my father.”

“If we wait for adults quietly…”

“Do you believe those in stupid words? It's been a week. Uncle Paulo said while drinking at the pub that for lesser hunters like my father or your father, it's going to be hard to live!”

The tears in the eyes of the small child were creased by the small diameter of the large child. Thinking of a father whose life and death was unknown, he cannot suppress the sadness of a child. It's hard to see them more than a couple of times a year because they're busy, but that didn't mean that he didn't love his dad who was struggling in the outback.

The child knew about it. It's been a few days since his mom was holding her phone and crying and was just looking at the TV with blank eyes.

The little squad that signed an outsourcing contract with a clan based at the Blue Diamond base was amused by the TV.

“Brother, let's go.”

“Okay.”

Nicholas' younger brother, Kaka, forcibly squeezed himself under the torn fence. Somehow, he had to meet the archer. That was their only way to save their father.

Jaehw.a.n.g explained what he saw in the Dark Earth to Irumi, and her expression turned blue as the words of Jaehw.a.n.g continued. If the speaker wasn't Jaehw.a.n.g, she would never have believed it. It's a place where monsters that will cover the sky and the earth would swallow up the horizon and come…

“The location of the dungeon is about here.”

With the map of Antarctica open, Jaehw.a.n.g's finger pointed to one place.

There was a straight stone mountain peeking over the white glacier. It seemed to be about 400 meters high, but the thickness of the Antarctic glacier was more than 2 km on average, so it would not normally be a high mountain on the Dark Earth side.

“I will send an expedition to the Dark Earth.” Jaehw.a.n.g nodded at Irumi's words.

He doesn't know if it's a dungeon on the Dark Earth side or on the Earth side, but the more information they have, the better. The harvest was not only that. The most important thing was that the palace had positioned Ruler. A ruler wasn't playing when he was digging up some information about Jaehw.a.n.g.

When Jaehw.a.n.g, who heard of Ruler's position at the palace, told it to Irumi, Irumi shook his head.

Its location was unthinkable. Ruler's location was deep in the dark. It has been buried hundreds of kilometers from the earth's crust for tens and thousands of years. To be precise, it was near the Mantles Front. It was impossible to enter.

Ruler did not sit on the Devil's Wall and wait for the warrior like the Demon King of the story. It was to control all the monsters of the Dark Earth while hiding himself thoroughly. It would be normal.

“I will take the means.”

“Please suffer,” Jaehw.a.n.g nodded and replied. Irumi had no way to do it, but he can't hold her hand.

After she left, Jaehw.a.n.g sighed low, locked the door, sat on the bed, and opened the status window.

‘What are you doing?'

‘I'm planning to bypa.s.s the Akas.h.i.+c Records.'

‘Why? Are you trying to find a clue as to the enlightenment you got?'

‘Huh. It's a problem that we should take time to find out slowly, but we don't have time.'

The Dark Earth had been feeding Ruler a shot, but that didn't improve the situation. No, rather, it made things worse. Now there was a danger that presupposed the power of the renewed Jaehw.a.n.g. That makes it necessary.

A little clue of the enlightenment gained by dealing with monsters in Dark Earth… This was a fragment of knowledge gained by digging between a Ruler and a monster of the Dark Earth. No, strictly speaking, this was to steal the power of the Ruler.

‘It doesn't matter if you go in.'

It was a palace that knew the vastness there. In addition, there were those who excluded intruders. These were what Jaehw.a.n.g called the guards. He had to fight them too. The problem was that it was their home ground to the core. The most primitive problem he had was that the range to recognize them was abnormally small. It's not just an extension of a biological sense.

It can only be seen through the realm of ident.i.ty but until now, the s.p.a.ce had been too small.

And as the court said, it was of no use to recklessly enter that place.

‘There's a way.'

‘Be careful.'

She'd like to help him if she could, but if Goongi went in with him, Jaehw.a.n.g would only get into more danger because the guards would double in.

Jaehw.a.n.g began to penetrate the depth of the save through the back of the status window as he had done before. And just before he entered the Akas.h.i.+c Records, he separated the “seer's eyes” from his status window.

It was a skill similar to the power that Ruler had.

Unique-cla.s.s tracking skills that can detect traces of an existence as far as 1,000 kilometers away.

He intended to explore this as a guide. Soon after, when Jaehw.a.n.g pushed himself into the vast stream of knowledge, the guards began to gather.

‘Well.'

Perhaps because of their enhanced power as G.o.ds, their presence feels much clearer than before. In addition, he could read messages that he couldn't read before, but the content of the message was not very good.

‘Stop the inaccessible being.'

Only that echoed out of Jaehw.a.n.g's body. They were gathering to push out the impurities called Jaehw.a.n.g like white blood cells in the blood vessels pus.h.i.+ng out its impurities. Jaehw.a.n.g began to move quickly before they gathered.

Using the Seer's Eye as a guide, he began to dig into the Akas.h.i.+c Record. He didn't mean to fight them. No, there's no time for that.

The structure of the Akas.h.i.+c Record resembled the root of a tree. It's like the roots of Yggdrasil, the tree of life in Northern European mythology. And the information he wants could only be found if he was closer to the source.

‘That's grand.'

Traveling through the places that could only be traced back through G.o.d's power, Jaehw.a.n.g came across numerous informational conspirators that the universe remembered, not the earth. Each and every one of them was valuable, but it was useless now. Jaehw.a.n.g continued to move.

The number of guards following him was increasing.

The Seer's Eye was also gradually scattering. This was a repository of information. It was probably natural that the Seer's Eye, which was made up of information, would be broken down in its own habitat.

‘Should I give up?' He was not sad about losing a skill.

It was a skill of a unique level, but since he escaped from the save system anyway, those things were meaningless.

Pa sha shak …

The Seer's Eye disappeared. When this disappeared, Jaehw.a.n.g's guide disappeared. However, the Seer's Eye did not just disappear. The rest of the debris slowly began to travel somewhere.

It acted like a cloud of smoke that had a place to go.

Jaehw.a.n.g started chasing the eye. How much time had pa.s.sed? The Seer's Eye disappeared completely, but Jaehw.a.n.g was not disappointed.

A gleaming, gleaming sphere floated silently.

It was so great that an infinitely sacred energy flowed out of it like a small celestial body.

‘This is…'

Jaehw.a.n.g placed his hand on it.

“Owww…”

“That hurts! No!

The children cried, but there was no mercy in the hands of the hunters who held their arms and heads tight.

“What do we do with these?”

“These p.r.i.c.ks …”

The two hunters dragged the three children out of the airfield.

Normally, he would kick them out after a bruise, but the man who caught the kids was on duty for surveillance today, and these kids sneaked into a very prohibited area, his squad was in trouble.

Everything was cla.s.sified as confidential and they have also been selected secretly.

He knew who the owner of the giant aircraft was, but these little kids have ruined a very important mission for him.

“Whip!”

The one who couldn't stand raised his hand, but the others stopped his hand.

“Let me go.”

“Hey. Lionel! Because of these children…”

The accident left a huge blemish on their history. He felt like throwing away the limbs of these little kids.

“They're still a kid. Your daughter is about the same age as them.”

However, at the words of a colleague, he kicked the floor to see if he couldn't stand it. When someone talks about his daughter, his hand does not go out.

“d.a.m.n it, I get it.”

Nodding his head, he sighed as he looked down at the children in his hands.

He understood the situation of children to a certain extent. The place where these children's father was now completely isolated by the monsters. He thought that only Jaehw.a.n.g could fix it.

“Get out.” He twisted his face as roughly as he could, but the children were not looking at him.

They were gazing at the horizon. With their mouth open, they seem to have forgotten even their breathing. He s.h.i.+fted his eyes along with the children's eyes. Although it was night time, the clock was good because it was the South Pole, where snow always kept the nights white. His eyes glared.

At first, he couldn't understand what it was.

He had never seen such a thing before in his life. All the queer things with the black film were towering. It wasn't just that. The sky-high thing was slowly closing in on the airfield. His hands and feet were shaking. He took his trembling finger to his headset.

And then, he said,

“Mo… monster emergence… monster emergence… unable to estimate tiers… numbers… innumerable.”
