Chapter 336
[This is the map provided by Revival’s guild master, Kang Shin . He predicts 60% of Earth will become the target of what he calls land transmittance . These areas are the areas that have yet to be affected by gates . ]
[Governments across the globe are preparing to relocate their citizens to “safe areas . ” The Korean government submitted a formal request to Revival, but Revival’s guild master has declined the request and is now working to sweep the currently remaining monster territories . ]
Two weeks after my announcement, I was the only news topic no matter which news media I looked .
60% of Earth becoming a danger zone sounds absurd even to me, but everyone was taking my words as the absolute truth . I couldn’t help but find the feeling scary .
[A footage of Revival’s guild master clearing a monster territory has gone viral . I have also taken a look, and I can only call it incredible . We’ve brought a guest analyst to break down the video . Selected by Mr . Kang Shin himself to become a dungeon explorer, it’s Korea’s ability user, Mr . Choi Yul . ]
[Hello, it’s nice to be here . First, I can hardly be called an analyst . No ability user on Earth should be capable of analyzing his power . ]
Next to the host was one of the first ability users to become an explorer . Instead of climbing the dungeon like he’s supposed to, it seemed he accepted a news cover offer . Pointing to the video footage playing on the corner of the screen, he explained .
[Can you see them? Those metallic fragments in the air are most likely one of his special abilities . Just like the gold he created in the Vatican City, he seems to have the ability to transform anything into metal or create it from null . Just this ability alone would make him one of the strongest ability users on Earth . ]
[You mean Hero’s Road of Vatican City . Then can Mr . Kang Shin’s ‘metallification’ power be considered a one-of-a-kind power?]
[It’s not just Earth . The dungeon I can enter is full of people from many different worlds, but no one had the ability to create metal like him . His ability is unique and will continue to be unique . In any case, what’s important is that these metals only serve as a medium for his true ability . ]
Excited, the man then went on to make guesses about my Evil Eyes and how it worked together with Dortu’s power . Surprisingly, he was pretty good at explaining everything .
“Finished . Kang Shin, no more monsters, on Earth . No demons either . ”
After I turned the screen off, Daisy spoke as she flew next to me . Next to her was Meri .
I looked down at the Arctic Sea . As she said, I couldn’t feel any presence of life .
“That was quick . ”
“Anything in sight, Kang Shin already killed . ”
Daisy added with a small smile .
“Kang Shin’s nickname, god of judgement . ”
“Don’t give me more nicknames, it’ll only make be tired . ”
I retorted brusquely and put away the phone in my hand . Daisy then stretched before putting Meri away in her inventory . Looking at her, I asked .
“Can you not use dimensional magic?”
“Inexperienced . ”
“I’ll teach you, so learn it for when the dungeon’s power suddenly becomes limited . ”
“… Kang Shin will teach me?”
“Yeah . ”
“Hu, Kang Shin is always hitting on me, sometimes pitiful . ”
Daisy shrugged without changing her expression . I nodded and added .
“Don’t learn it . ”
“A man’s word is worth a thousand gold . ”
“Where are you learning these things…”
After sighing, I returned to the guild house with Daisy . While the rest of the country was busy relocating, the area around our guild house was especially quiet . Jongno wasn’t part of Earth’s ‘red zone’, and with Revival’s guild house being here, the district was planned to be used for ability users’ base camp .
Along with other succubi, Hwaya was looking at a projection on the wall, covering the changes to the world in real-time . Ever since the last meeting, she was working nonstop without rest .
“The loss is going to be immeasurable . We won’t be able to save everyone’s lives, and when the land transmittance happens, countless public and private properties will be lost . Hu… To think the result of us being prepared . ”
“Just looking at the screen won’t change anything, Hwaya . Go rest . ”
She shook her head .
“I can’t continue being here anyways . The succubi said Licorice will come out soon, so I’ll stay until she comes back . ”
“No, leave things to the succubi and rest . We did everything we could . ”
We notified the world of the upcoming danger and killed every last monster on Earth . What more could we do? Use our abilities to help humanity’s evacuation? That was too inefficient .
“Your body is more important . Rest and make sure you’re in your top condition . ”
“But…”
“Rest . ”
I sighed and dragged her away . Daisy, who was looking at us from a distance, asked aloud .
“Are you two going to bed?”
“I’m putting her to bed . You get ready to learn magic . ”
“Un . ”
“W-With just the two of you? No, let me be there too . ”
“We don’t do anything weird, so you just focus on getting some sleep . ”
“No . ”
Hwaya seemed intent on not moving a foot unless I moved her . With a sigh, I picked her up . Hwaya struggled to free herself while Daisy commented on the situation .
“Calculating woman . Will take number of precaution . ”
I pretended to have not heard her . At that moment, a part of the projection on the wall suddenly flickered off . It was clear what that signified .
Transmittance .
Hwaya, who was making a fuss in my arms, and Daisy both froze .
[The transmittance has started . ]
A succubus reported .
[The location is Japan, the scale is all of Honshu . It’s the entire area other than the part under the influence of one of the previous gates!]
“… Didn’t we have two months?”
Hwaya asked quietly . I shrugged and replied .
“Ciara said two months is when the transmittance will complete . …Though, I didn’t think it’d already start . ”
“Ehew . ”
Unlike how she was acting previous, Hwaya leaped out of my arms resolutely .
“Let’s go, Shin . I’m ready . ”
Staring at Japan’s map, I nodded . With the transmittance already happening even with all the preparations we were making, I felt like going insane, but we had to make haste as much as possible . Even a single second was precious .
Japan was undoubtedly only the beginning .
“Alright, let’s go . ”
I immediately summoned all the members available and headed to Japan .
While Japan was also carrying out a country-wide evacuation, two weeks was realistically too little time . Not to mention, the demons that appeared in Japan began their massacre immediately as though they knew what they were going into .
If the appearance of the monsters was like natural disasters, the appearance of the demons was a clear proclamation of war . They had a clear goal and did not save their strength to accomplish it .
After several members gathered, we teleported to Tokyo using the Return location I had set beforehand in Tokyo . All this only took 7 minutes to happen .
During these 7 minutes, the number of casualties surpassed 7 . 5 million .
[Oooooh! Wasn’t Earth supposed to be an uncivilized place? How can there be so many interesting things?]
[In comparison, Luka continent was too boring!]
[But why are the humans here so weak?]
“Kyaaaaak!”
“M-Monsters!”
[Who called us monsters!?]
There was no need to look around . A slaughter was continuing in the city even at this moment, and the numerous tall buildings were crumbling down as though they were competing with each other . There wasn’t a single direction where no scream rang out .
“Everyone spread out . I’ll take care of this place . ”
I announced to Hwaya, Daisy, Leon, Yua, Father, and Kain before kicking off the ground and releasing my energy fully . I was making myself known to all the demons .
[What’s that?]
[It’s the Hero!]
[The Hero? Don’t joke . ]
The sharp voices of demons rang inside my ears . Ignoring them, I shot up into the air and began to create metallic fragments and ice fragments . To increase the number of fragments, I summoned both Dortu and Ruyue .
[How can that be? It’s only been a few minutes since we came here! How can the Hero be here? In Luka continent, the Hero needed at least two days!]
[What kind of a Hero is he?]
The fragments began to reach ground level . Most demons simply destroyed whatever they set their eyes on, but the smart ones slowly backed off while keeping their eyes on me .
[I don’t know what he is, but his mana is absurd!]
[Weren’t we supposed to retreat when the Hero comes?]
“It’s too late . ”
I murmured quietly and widened my eyes .
The countless number of metals and ice received my eyes’ power and reflected them in all directions . Even if they began to run the moment I arrived, it would have been too late . With my mirrors helping me, the power of my Evil Eyes could reach far beyond the scope of this city .
In an instant, all demons were petrified before shattering into pieces .
“Kyak!?”
“Huk, Huuk… What just…”
“I, I’m alive!”
The demons shattered for a simple reason . By using Steel’s power through the mirror, I had absorbed all of the petrified demons’ mana .
I multiplied the number of mirrors using the mana I absorbed, and the mirrors spread out rapidly . Although it might be hard to cover all of Honshu, I knew the other members would take care of that .
“Who is that?”
“Kang Shin . ”
“It must be him!”
“Thank god, we’re safe now . ”
After confirming that no demons were left alive, I led my flock of mirrors and moved to another area .
[The Hero’s coming!]
[I heard that . Run away from…]
[A power like this… Kahak!]
Once they saw me, it was too late to run . Tens of thousands of demons died every moment . The small number of demons strong enough to withstand my Evil Eyes couldn’t withstand being hit by mirrors being used as bullets .
“So many monsters all died in an instant…”
“It was all real . ”
“Just by being here, he…”
I wanted to tend to the injured people, but I had too little time .
As such, I ignored what the people below were saying, whether it was a plea for help, words of gratitude, or words of resentment . I moved solely to decimate the demons .
It was the same for the other members . After spreading out into all directions, they fought against demons where my power couldn’t reach . It was 30 minutes later that I came to be certain that all of Honshu was cleared of demons . However, before we could clean up Honshu, Japan’s other islands underwent land transmittance . As such, we had move nonstop to combat the demons .
[It’s the Hero!]
[Glory to His Highness the Demon Lord!]
“Save us!”
“Shin-nim, Shin-nim is here!”
Three hours, all it took was three hours . Moving without rest, I killed all non-human targets, stealing their mana in the process .
Thankfully, none of the demons that appeared in Japan were strong enough to cause trouble . But during the three hours it took to kill all the demons, Japan lost 30 percent of its population .
At the same time, they also suffered a catastrophic loss in properties . But rather than worrying about lost properties, more people were simply glad to have survived this ordeal .
When they saw me, they let out all sorts of screams and cheers, which I ignored completely .
“Shin!”
“Hwaya, are you done?”
“Y-Yeah . We’re done with our… Shin?”
“What?”
“You… What are you wearing?”
We gathered at Tokyo’s Return point where we first arrived at . While many survivors murmured to themselves from the distance while looking at us, Hwaya shouted at me the moment she saw me .
“What am I wearing? I only have a helmet . I don’t even have it on right now . ”
“Above your horn . ”
“Horn?”
Dortu immediately created a mirror in front of me . Seeing my face reflected on it, I tilted my head .
[The moment land transmittance occurred in Japan, he appeared at the scene of slaughter . In an instant, he turned all monsters into stone before continuing on to eliminate Japan of all monsters . ]
[Turning everything to null, he acts solely to save humanity . Some are saying he is a god created at the time of Two Moon in order to save humanity…]
Above my horn, a small ring of light was spinning around . I reached to touch it, but it only felt warm and had no tactile feeling .
“What is this?”
I murmured . There was no one to answer me .
Something no one knew about was happening to me .
