Damned 13th Regression – 73



< Episode 73 – Jinhyeolgong’s shout (2) >

Gonghyuk looked around.

Two flags are visible.

Company and Knights Without Borders.

‘Was there a knight’s club nearby?’

There are thousands of people summoned to the 10th floor mission within the company alone.

There were several criteria for being summoned.

1. The closer the city is the more likely it is that you will be summoned to the same location.

2. If the magic circles overlap they will be summoned to the same place.

3. If you are not ‘protected’ by the city’s owner you will be summoned.

3-1. Because of this non-combat hunters can be protected by the city’s owner.

4. Unprotected humans are forced into missions.

Based on these criteria 300 people were summoned in front of Goseong.

“Citizens! Don’t be confused! “We will do our best to protect you!”

80 members of Knights Without Borders.

The actual number of combatants is about half or about 40 people.

The other half seemed to be ordinary members of the city.

‘Even ordinary members do not have zero combat power. ‘He must have had an avatar and put together a weapon to survive.’

Look at the company you belong to.

“mister. “It’s worth the money right?”

“Yes. sir. Myer Resolution Office always serves our customers safely.”

“Guardian death rate 16%! Mission resolution rate 100%! “Just trust me Randolph!”

A total of 110 people.

In addition to the mercenary division there were citizens who hired private troubleshooters.

The mercenary division could also be hired by civilians.

However the cost was high.

In addition the mercenary division was closer to a public enterprise hired and formed by executives to ensure the security and military power of the company.

Company executives naturally used it but ordinary citizens mainly used small and medium-sized private solution companies.

‘what. This is because the seven mercenary divisions were originally a combination of seven civilian problem solving organizations. It’s funny to criticize public things though.’

In any case including the 20 members of the Civilian Solvers and Special Unit 0 the number of combat personnel was quite substantial.

And the rest…

Hunters with a dirty look and dirty tattered clothes.

With outlaws living outside the city.

Necro mafia or devil contractors of unknown origin.

The 300 humans were divided into several categories.

“About this mission. “Let me explain briefly.”

Remiel pointed to the castle ahead.

The low moat was full of moss and debris and smoke and screams were rising from one side.

“Imperial calendar year 411. The exorcists of the Order of Dollion launched a crusade. “The vampire king is struggling in the palace and one of the princesses has even gone into hiding here where her uncle once lived.”

Remiel looked at the castle with mixed eyes.

“That’s the background. It’s a world that has already been absorbed into Babel but the timeline of events has been dragged and this is being repeated over and over again. “In 100 districts right now.”

One of the outlaws muttered with his lips.

‘So what should I do?’

“If you ask me what I should do….”

A devil appeared on the other side of the angel.

“You don’t have to do anything.”

Liliane put her hands on her shoulders and shrugged.

“These are the rules of this mission.”

Rule 1. Survive until dawn the next day.

One short rule.

‘Survive until dawn? ‘Do you mean to torture people until they die?’

People felt uncomfortable with content that seemed easy but not easy.

“Yeah. It’s as complex as it is simple. Coin drop rate upon death is 20%. As you can see in the background the castle is full of quests. To the extent that you can do anything without restrictions….”

Liliane’s finger scanned the hunters.

“Here you can kill each other as you please eliminate your rivals and then sweep up the rewards inside the castle.”

The hunters’ complexions hardened at the bloody instigation.

And one of the knights glanced at the shabby-clad hunters.

Company has 110 people and Knights Without Borders has 80 people.

They must have unconsciously calculated that a total of 190 people would be enough to wipe out the remaining non-urban outlaws and devil contractors.

sreung

One of the angry outlaws pulled out a well-honed blade.

“What are you looking at? “You white pig.”

“What a quarrel. “That’s an overreaction.”

“Hold on. Hold on. “Let’s think about it for a moment.”

“no. So are you saying we should go into the castle with these guys back to back? That’s more dangerous. “I’d rather be here…”

“stop.”

Remiel spoke softly.

“There are three access roads.”

As she shook the branch in her hand a choice came to mind.

1. Watchtower

2. Main entrance

3. Underground water

“You just have to choose among those three. “Maybe you guys will never meet again.”

“······.”

“If one destroys the other just because they have a different way of living who will be the last one standing? “Do not waste unnecessary blood and stick to your duty of conquering Babel.”

The turmoil stopped at the angel’s words.

But the buzz inside the company grew louder.

“for a moment. “Maybe if I don’t go inside the castle and just stay outside nothing will happen?”

“to. That’s you customer. Let’s see once we have an opinion. “Staying away from the group is usually not a good choice.”

The solvers glanced at Manager Jeong.

Among the company’s alumni the unspoken leader was Jeong Hyeon-do the manager of Special 0 Department.

However Jeong Hyeon also asked the masked person behind him.

“What do you want to do?”

The masked Cesc thought for a moment.

“What do you think Manager?”

“It wouldn’t be a bad idea to kill those guys beforehand.”

However contrary to his words the manager scratched his head.

“It’s not my taste.”

“okay. It’s not my taste either. no. How about staying here instead? “Isn’t it a good thing if you clear it without risk?”

A look of embarrassment flashed across the manager’s face at that opinion.

“no.”

Gonghyeok who had been casually watching the other hunters intervened.

“It won’t be safe to stay here.”

“For what? Do you think something will appear if you stay here?”

“That too is a problem. There will be a group of people who will attack those who did not enter the castle. “I don’t know how many people will remain here but it will be dangerous.”

“ah.”

Cesc expressed his admiration and a heated relationship arose between Manager Jeong and the private troubleshooter.

It was sophistry.

A group of people attacking people?

That was when there were no Special Unit 0 left.

Then only the helpless and fearful remain here.

Killing them and taking the coins is a piece of cake.

However if Cesc remains Special 0 will remain.

What if there are 0 Special Lessons left?

Employees of private solution companies who do not want to take risks are left behind.

At least 80 people with that alone.

It is foolish to attack a group that includes even elites.

‘The real problem is…’

I saw troubleshooters starting to talk to their customers.

‘Special 0 and private solvers. If you stay here you won’t be able to eat anything.’

No risk no return.

The risk is low but the reward is also low.

The only way for the solvers was to enter the castle and obtain quests and rewards.

Cesc nodded.

“All right. “If it’s not safe to be here…”

“no.”

Most likely ‘Let’s go into the old castle.’ Gonghyeok interrupted what Cesc was about to say.

“In some ways it is safe.”

[Sephirot stage 1 activated.]

[Implementation of angel wings.]

Huge wings spread out behind his back.

“Angel wings?”

“Is this Necro Butcher Joo Gong-hyeok?”

“You cut down two or three hundred members of the mafia by yourself?”

The sound of my stomach shaking can be heard up to here.

Even in a society where information is slow rumors of the powerful travel quickly.

Especially if it is information about a threatening natural enemy.

“If anything happens. “I can take a picture and press it.”

The arrogance of a newcomer who has been at Babel for less than a year.

But no one could object to the white wings that wrapped around people.

“okay.”

Cesc stretched out his index finger.

“Then just you can stay here and the rest of you can go in.”

“yes? Anyway that’s it.”

“I think Gonghyuk’s words are correct. His skills have also spread to devil contractors in other cities. “There will be no such thing as attacking you carelessly.”

“If you say so let’s discuss which entrance to take.”

Manager Jeong went to meet the knights and outlaws.

‘Gonghyuk. Are we going in without Gonghyeok?’

When Soma came to the side and asked Gonghyeok shook his head.

“no. “It will be in everyone’s hearts.”

“?”

“Tell this to your teammates. “It’s number 3.”

“Do you mean number three?”

“okay. “No. 3.”

Soma who was slowly starting to get along with Gonghyuk noticed this.

It was an underground waterway.

Number 1 was the watchtower number 2 was the main gate and number 3 was an underground waterway.

“… I don’t know what the plan is but I believe it.”

Soma disappeared and Manager Jeong returned and announced the entrance.

Number 1 was ‘Watchtower’.

＊ ＊ ＊

“Good luck to you.”

After Remiel’s final greeting 50 hunters were sent to the watchtower.

‘ruler. The mission begins.’

Manager Jeong made up his mind.

He was a special person who deliberately did not break the mission in order to break through the levels of executives.

It’s been a few years since this mission took place.

I took command of the personnel praying that they had not forgotten their intuition.

“Team 1 is at the front! Private sector problem solvers please protect both sides with your close friends! And Team 7 is missing the main team leader and only has new recruits so watch out for the rearguard…”

“Hey Manager Jeong.”

Randolph a veteran problem solver who had been with the company for over 10 years was lucky.

“Do you have any opinions?”

“No that’s not it….”

Randolph scratched his head with a sad expression.

“Aren’t there supposed to be 60 people originally?”

“Yes that’s definitely the number of people before departure.”

“According to our scouts’ maps and my own calculations there are only 50 of them?”

“······.”

Assistant Manager Shimada sneaks out.

However a hand grabs the length of the clothes like a snake.

“Where did you go?”

“that is….”

“Where have you gone you crazy idiot!”

“Why do you keep asking me that!”

Deputy Shimada’s collar suffered again.

“these guys! It came full circle! This is a protest a protest! These guys have no idea what to do! When I return I will cut them all down! No just die here! “Just die!”

Shimada bowed his head leaving Manager Jeong behind who was running wild.

“sorry. I’m not really that kind of person. “It’s because Team Leader Joo hasn’t listened to me lately.”

“I see. But it’s worth it.”

Randolph scratched his beard.

“These days there’s a rumor going around that Special Talent 0 is untrustworthy without that friend. “What happens if that friend falls out later…”

＊ ＊ ＊

“What are you guys?”

“lol. That’s it. Stop making button mistakes….”

Team 7’s wizard Sally broke into a cold sweat as she looked at the gazes of 40 people.

Team 7 headed to the underground waterway.

There were 40 outlaws there.

Originally 80 outlaws crossed over but the rest seemed to be at a different starting point of the underground waterway.

Sally noticed Soma behind her.

“Mr. Soma. Hey Mr. Soma I did as you said but what should I do now?”

“I don’t know.”

Soma who was over 2 meters tall looked down at 40 people.

“But I can’t die here.”

Cluelessly

The bandaged hand was clenched tightly.

“If you have to fight back. “We have to fight back.”

“Soma-san! Mr. Soma! Mr. Soma! 10:40 Is this it? According to Lanchester’s Law the enemy is not simply four times stronger but there is actually a power difference of 16 times!?”

Unlike her usual empty-headed demeanor Sally who had eaten some ink like a magician ran around to stop Soma.

“Laughs. It’s a good start. “If you just commit suicide you won’t be in pain.”

“What are you talking about? It’s no fun if it ends too easily right? “Let’s have some fun by dragging the girls around there too.”

The outlaws made a threat mixed with the villain’s characteristic desire.

“That’s right. “Brother?”

“hmm.”

flutter

However bright wings spread behind Team 7.

The outlaws or rather the necromancers and demonic contractors among them are frozen.

“uh?”

“That was clearly meant to remain….”

Step by step

Clear footsteps echoed in the dark passageway of the underground waterway.

“You were trying to kill them right now right?”

The outlaws were unable to answer Joo Gong-hyeok’s question.

“Wait a minute why are you here?”

“Shall I tell you?”

The image of Jecheon Daeseong tail waving above him comes to mind.

= My younger brother. Even ten bodies are not enough to pick off all the scum like you right?

[Avatar Jecheon Daeseong (SS) full power operation. Increased abilities!]

[Strength +100! Agility +120! Skill +120! will….]

The cigarette butt fell with a tick.

“Did you hear? “I’m here to pick on all the bastards like you who lose their senses whenever they get a chance to kill people.”

“shit! “What’s wrong with that bastard?”

“Try it nikangnaekang….”

Kwaaaaang!

I hear an explosion.

A silver blade raced through the flames.

Ignition Booster Seven-shot explosion

Revealing the law of the divine being (鷄神法 with a sword) jeoljeol (炎人斬絶) of thousands of people (炎速)

It’s so delicious

jingle

“Uh oh. “Uh huh?”

Many of the upper bodies that had fallen into the waterway looked blankly at the lower bodies that were standing firmly.

I didn’t even know that a coin announcing death was leaking from my mouth.

“Fuck! “Run away!”

The outlaw who courageously shouted “Nikang naekang” humbly escaped.

The sight of 20 humans split into 40 pieces.

The bodies of the team members stiffened.

“Pick up the coin. let’s go.”

They barely move at Gonghyeok’s command.

Hayeonsi who was behind him came to his side humming softly.

“Brother.”

“huh?”

“Illegal dumping of cigarette butts is bad.”

“sorry.”

Gonghyuk took out his pipe as an apology.

“and! You’re smart too! If you smoke it with a pipe there won’t be any butts right?

“yes.”

Hahahoho. Looking at the two of them the thoughts of the team members became unified.

‘Crazy X.’
