125. On the other hand
Moscow, Russia.
Red Square was a popr attraction with numerous tourists every year. In particr, it was especially famous for its beautiful night view, and seeing couples having a date with their arms folded together after dinner was like a painting.
But that day marked the beginning of October 2026. The Red Square, also known as the Beautiful Square, was just colored with cool blood.
A chilling roar woke up the night. A colony of countless monsters shattered the silence.
The wild monsters had turned the streets that mankind had cultivated to shreds in just a few hours. Bloody corpses piled up in the Red Square moment by moment.
“Помоги мне (Save me)!”
“О, Боже (Oh, Lord)…”
The waves of violence caused a tsunami of death. People were swept away helplessly like wood and stone. The only way out of this disaster seemed to be death.
After Africa and South America, a huge Monster Wave took ce in Russia. The most desperate groans came from the world’srgest territory.
Of course, from a private aircraft flying at an altitude of 26,000, the screams from the ground could hardly be heard.
“Oh, it’s finally the third one. Archbishop, are we done with our work?”
Ariena, one of the 18 regressed hunters, asked with a drowsy face. Go Geon-ryong, who looked outside of the window with his chin on his hand, replied inly.
“For the time being.”
“I can’t eat because it’s so dirty. I have to do all the hard work alone.”
“Is that so?”
“That’s not it. That’s it!”
Go Geon-ryong turned his eyes and looked at Ariena. He still spoke in a dry tone.
“I won’t be working for a while, so go on vacation or take a break. Yes, the Czech Republic is really good.”
“… I mean… Sometimes I can’t tell if the Archbishop is joking or being serious. So I’m asking, did you just say that to make meugh?
“Well, it wasn’t a joke.”
“Oh, my. Hey, Archbishop. It’s been a mess all over the world, and so a vacation won’t be that great.”
“Is that so?”
Go Geon-ryong muttered like that, sipping whiskey. Ariena clicked her tongue.
“What is the Archbishop nning to do in the future? As you said, we don’t have to gather for a while.”
“I have something else to do.”
“So what is that?”
“I’m going to Korea.”
“Korea? Ah, your home country? Come to think of it, you said you would use that penins as an ark. Is that why you’re leaving?”
Go Geon-ryong just nodded his head without saying a word.
“Then shall I go to Korea too?”
“Why?”
“What do you mean? Aren’t you going to rest?”
“I don’t think it would be a good ce for a vacation. Even more so now.”
“Why? I think it’ll be fun. Seeing humans go after them, I think the old congestion will go away. By the way, do Korean hunters fight while using kung fu? Are there any samurai?”
“Kung Fu is China. Samurai is Japanese.”
“What? Are they different? I thought it would be there because they were so close together. Ah! Come to think of it, I’ve been to Japan a few times. I used to take a half-bath while puffing on some marijuana with the Japs in the hot spring.”
“Hmm.”
Go Geon-ryong snorted his nose and closed his eyes. Ariena wrinkled her nose as if she was displeased.
“Ah, you’re no fun.”
She leaned against the window and looked outside thoughtlessly. All she could see was pitch darkness that seemed to have taken away the universe.
She thought she couldn’t wait for the great war to take ce. If that happened, she could do as much as she wanted to do and ughter!
Ariena, who had fallen into her childish fantasies, tilted her head for a moment.
“Archbishop.”
“…”
“Archbishop!”
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Do you believe in aliens? Something like UFOs.”
“Stop talking nonsense and go to sleep. You must be tired.”
“That’s not nonsense. I’m watching a UFO right now.”
At this point, Go Geon-ryong felt annoyed. He opened only one eye and nced toward Ariena. She was glued to the window like a child on a ne for the first time.
“Ah!”
The moment she let out a small exmation. All the lights in thepartment went out, and the aircraft shook violently.
Even before he came to his senses, a terrible heat surged. The ne’s interior melted, and the seats caught on fire, then soon, the entire inner integrity of the ne gave way.
Boom!
The ne exploded. If you saw it from the ground, you would say that there was at least one more star in the sky, but it was actually crazy.
Fragmented debris was scattered all over the ce. They all melted, and the bare molten iron dripped.
Two people fell through the pieces of iron. It was Go Geon-ryong and Ariena. They fell 8,000 meters below without any safety equipment.
Go Geon-ryong didn’t lose hisposure even in such an extreme situation. He was soon able to discover who had shot down the ne.
As soon as he found it, Go Geon-ryong frowned. This culprit wasn’t a UFO, as Ariena said. It was definitely a creature.
“A dragon?”
Fireballs fell from the sky.
“Huh.”
The pouring fireballs weren’t a big problem. However, the distant height itself was very threatening.
Go Geon-ryong tried hard to correct his posture, but the pouring mes cleverly interfered with the act.
“Oh my god!”
Suddenly, Ariena screamed. She fell and was surrounded by bright red mes. Go Geon-ryong pondered his thoughts for a moment. Soon after he made up his mind, he kicked into the air. It made the fall speed even faster.
The two approached the ground at an incredible speed. The ground was all ck. It was only when their distance from the floor was narrowed to within 3,000 meters that they saw the sea.
Next to it was an ind made of reefs. Go Geon-ryong stomped desperately. It was better to face the sea than to fall on the reefs.
The problem was Ariena. She seemed to have lost consciousness halfway after falling and being hit by fireballs several times.
Go Geon-ryong spewed out Karma and made a long string. He snatched Ariena with it and quickly held her in his arms. Tens of meters before touching the ground, he exploded a formidable Karma toward thend. The reaction pushed his body away, and as a result, he was able to fall into the sea.
Ssh!
When they met with the surface, a water column rose dozens of meters. What about the sound? It sounded like a bomb explosion.
‘Her bones are broken.’
Even though he strengthened their body with Karma, her bones became powder in various parts of her body. Ariena seemed to havepletely lost consciousness.
Go Geon-ryong grabbed Ariena and went up toward the surface. After a while, he stepped on the water’s surface as if he were a water strider. It was a technique that could only be used by masters who were good at Karma maniption.
However, the uninvited guests didn’t leave him alone. The water sshed, and shes flew from three directions.
Therge tip of their des prated Go Geon-ryong’s body without a single exception. All of that happened in less than half a second.
“Cough!”
Blood flowed down Go Geon-ryong’s mouth. He swung his right arm wide, with Ariena on his left side.
“Hah!”
“Heh!”
The three people, who aimed for Go Geon-ryong, Alpha, Beta, and Omega bounced faster than bullets. They only stopped after cutting the man floating above water about 200 times.
Go Geon-ryong gasped and patted his body. His palms were covered in bright red bloodstains.
‘They hurt me?’
For a moment, he was confused by the situation he couldn’t understand. He came to his senses when he felt a distant presence from above his head.
A huge mass was plummeting his way.
“Shit!”
He threw Ariena in the direction of the reef ind. She flew away in a nice parab and fell on the ind.
Shortly after throwing her, Go Geon-ryong manipted his radiating Karma to create a thick barrier. At the next moment, the spaceposed of barriers shook and scattered like fog.
Soon after, a huge front foot stamped and pressed him.
“Crrrrrrr!”
“Argh!”
The dragon’s w gripped Go Geon-ryong tightly and crumpled the barrier. His whole body gathered into a point, and at the end, he looked like a basketball.
In an instant, the dragon swung its tail and struck Go Geon-ryong. After being beaten, he plunged into the water tens of meters at once.
The dragon stared silently from the surface. It was then it felt an instinctive threat and flew away. However, intangible power detained the dragon’s wings and pulled it into the sea.
From the bottom, Go Geon-ryong appeared out of the water.
Feeling a sense of crisis, the dragon transformed itself. The dragon, which changed its appearance to a human woman for a moment, sessfully escaped the snare of power.
Seo Si-hee gathered the three children, and they stood facing Go Geon-ryong.
“Cough, cough! Whoa, you’ve be a monster in the meantime. You said you wouldn’t die no matter how much I kill you. When did you learn how to turn into a dragon, noona?”
Go Geon-ryong spoke in a tone that even felt weing. However, Seo Si-hee’s eyes couldn’t feel any emotion other than contempt.
“Stop before it’s toote. Don’t you really see that what you’re doing is wrong?”
“Si-hee noona, I’m sorry to hear that, but it’s already irreversible. Would putting a lid on an exploding crater stop it?”
“… Then I have no choice but to kill you.”
“Haha… Cough! Cough!”
Go Geon-ryong coughed violently. Dark red blood poured out of his mouth, but he was smiling.
“You’ve already died without being able to deal with me twice, but what tricks are you going to kill me with this time?”
“Release the five-level limit.”
“Yes, Master.”
The children answered in unison. They tore off five of the seven bracelets attached to their respective arms at once.
Suddenly, something surprising happened. Like oil gushing out of an oil field, a vast amount of Karma was radiated out in all directions.
Go Geon-ryong smiled bitterly.
“Where did you find such weird toys? I haven’t seen you for a while. Were you stuck in the mountain valley making things like that?”
“You’re going to die here today. That’s how it should be.”
“You used to be my noona and ally. Aren’t you being too cold-hearted?”
Seo Si-hee’s expression hardened when Go Geon-ryong rambled. She spoke in an incredulous tone.
“You already killed me twice, didn’t you? You call me your noona… No, do you even think we were friends?”
“Can’t you feel the joy from my expression? We’ve known each other for nearly 50 years.
But… But you’re so cold-hearted to me…”
Seo Si-hee forgot what to say. Go Geon-ryong turned his eyes so that no one could notice and looked at the nearby reef ind. Ariena still hadn’te to her senses.
“noona, it’s funny that you’re here. Just join us. What do you gain from working so hard after being angry?”
“And you! What are you going to gain from exterminating humanity?”
“Eternal peace.”
“…”
Seo Si-hee shook her head and frowned as if she didn’t want to talk more. She then raised her sword high.
“If what you want is eternal peace, I will give it to you with death.”
“Pfft! Hahaha!”
Go Geon-ryong suddenly burst intoughter. Soon, the air surrounding him changed. He continued with his bright red eyes wide open.
“How dare you do this to me. With toys? Your pride has gone too far!”
“Alpha, Beta, Omega. Get ready.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Yeah, I wondered what magic noona had been doing to keeping back to life, but now I know. Now that I know, I can deal with it. This time, I will get rid of you without leaving a single speck.”
“It won’t work out the way you want it to.”
Karma spewed out from the spot where Go Geon-ryong stood. The dense and ck force reached the sky.
Seo Si-hee and her three children rushed in without sinking.
On that day, in the quiet Mediterranean Sea, the fiercest battle in history took ce.
