    < Episode 78 – Future Man ‘D’ >

    Gonghyeok Joo. Think about it.

    ‘What should I do to resolve this situation?’

    Kane Schumacher. Among Joo Gong-hyeok’s team members two people died.

    Soma and Hayeonsi are there but they can’t last long against D.

    If Joo Gong-hyuk easily killed B then D would be no problem.

    Currently the power of the alter ego in the underground waterway was about 1%.

    Moreover what D has is a firearm.

    There is no answer if straight fire power is pushed through the underground waterway which is a one-way passage.

    Conclusion.

    It is impossible to defeat ‘D’.

    ‘Then you should avoid this place.’

    What should I do?

    Joo Gong-hyeok’s advantage is his knowledge of the future.

    D also knows the future but it is limited knowledge with holes in it.

    ‘What does he know?’

    That Joo Gong-hyeok came underground to absorb the power of an angel.

    The fact that X defeats Jinhyeolgong and confronts Joo Gonghyeok.

    D doesn’t know but one of the two futures is definitely wrong.

    It’s because of D’s actions.

    bang! Taang!

    The corner of the passage turning left was broken again.

    There is no time.

    With the time spent so far Gonghyuk has pulled 5% of the power from the main body.

    [Jecheon Daeseong (SS) 1st ability ‘Alcohol’s Art’]

    [5% of the power is divided to create 5 additional clones.]

    Soma asked Gonghyuk who had increased his self-immolation.

    “What do you plan to do?”

    “Step back. “I catch him.”

    Gonghyuk took a deep breath and stuck his face around the corner.

    “Damo. “Let’s talk for a moment…”

    Phew!

    As soon as you stick your head out a bullet pierces it.

    It had been a long time since I felt the sensation of an accelerated bullet traveling 6 km per second shattering my skull.

    ‘There is no forgiveness.’

    Four lives left.

    One self-immolation was sent to a certain location.

    Gonghyuk had to deceive D.

    The guy was planning to stop Gonghyuk from moving.

    But what if you think it is you who is unable to move?

    Gonghyuk swallowed his saliva and shouted.

    “Listen! “I will not fight with you!”

    “You’re not fighting with me?”

    D walked towards the sound.

    With a gunshot the clone’s head disappeared once again.

    “I’ll say it again. “I’m not fighting with you.”

    “I guess that’s what it is? “It has nothing to do with me.”

    D answered indifferently.

    “Joo Gong-hyeok. If you don’t get angelic powers from the culvert that’s enough. That alone will be enough to help X kill you.”

    bang!

    Gunshots rang out again in the underground waterway.

    The bullet that penetrated the wall blew out the third clone’s abdomen.

    “You can deal with me like this. That will distribute the power to deal with X to me. “X is not easy to deal with even if you disperse your power.”

    Clap

    D asked swapping magazines.

    “So Joo Gong-hyeok. “What are we going to do now?”

    “What are you going to do?”

    Cigarette smoke came out from somewhere.

    It meant that someone who couldn’t live without cigarettes found some time to relax.

    “Let me give you one piece of advice. D.”

    “what?”

    “If an idiot who learned history from books suddenly steps forward to fix the past…”

    A message appeared before everyone’s eyes.

    [The conditions for the appearance of the progenitor vampire weapon have been met.]

    [The Jinhyeolgong Gradiut is converted to the Progenitor Vampire Weapon.]

    [The progenitor vampire weapon appears in the sky above Goseong.]

    “This is how things get complicated.”

    “What the…”

    Gonghyuk’s words brought back a vague memory to D.

    According to the records the Progenitor Vampire Weapon should not have appeared.

    In the past Jinhyeolgong Gradiut was destined to be killed by X before he could become a vampire weapon.

    Nevertheless the appearance of the progenitor vampire weapon meant that X had failed to hunt Gradiut.

    “Unlike the past you know the Jinhyeolgong raid failed. “It’s because of you.”

    “It’s the past. Do you know anything about us? “Who told you?”

    “It wouldn’t be fun if I told you right? Terminator.”

    The fourth Joo Gong-hyeok made a quick appearance.

    “I will not fight with you. It’s okay even if you don’t have the power of an angel. Instead I will kill X with a vampire weapon.”

    “Do you want to leave it alone?”

    “no. “You’re not going to let me?”

    Boom!

    The bullets from the Gauss pistol which had doubled the output pulverized Joo Gong-hyeok’s upper body.

    However Joo Gong-hyeok laughed heartily from an unseen place.

    “It’s Soma Yeonshi. From now on let’s take this guy’s time. “We are not the ones in a hurry.”

    [Most of the crusaders in the castle were killed.]

    [The last crusader performs the ceremony of the angel’s descent.]

    [Five minutes later Sephirim appears above the castle.]

    “All right.”

    Soma stood up holding prayer beads and a vajra.

    “I will try to bide my time even if it means sacrificing my life.”

    “If what you say is right. “I will do that.”

    “shit. Captain. “Does this really work?”

    One by one the team members prepared to intercept D.

    A characteristic sneer spread across Joo Gong-hyeok’s face.

    “ruler. What are you going to do now? The Progenitor Weapon aims for X. I’m also aiming for X. And the Advent Angel will also aim for X.”

    “The descending angel is not only X…”

    “Would it be possible for Advent Angel to take a gamble that X’s situation will be resolved by targeting only the Progenitor Weapon? No matter what I will live. “X is going to die.”

    D thought.

    ‘We’re in trouble.’

    I don’t know if it’s my fault but it’s an established fact that X is in danger.

    If Joo Gong-hyeok attacks X with the Progenitor Weapon and even the Advent Angel appears

    Now interfering with Joo Gong-hyeok has become a trivial matter.

    ‘The only ones that pose a threat here are Soma Sangai and Hayeonsi.’

    Soma Sangai’s counterattack and Hayeonshi’s regenerative burst were dangerous because they inflicted enormous damage regardless of the opponent’s level.

    But if you’re careful it’s only 20 minutes.

    No it can be done in 15 minutes.

    The problem is…

    ‘Is it right to kill Soma Sangai and Hayeonsi?’

    In the original future they were just victims of Joo Gong-hyeok and helped save the world.

    In addition those who created them and sent them here respected Soma and Hayeonsi as great figures of history and asked them to protect great figures as much as possible unless it was an unavoidable situation.

    I don’t know how many of my colleagues will remember that.

    ‘As expected I can’t kill him here.’

    After finishing Django D called the name of the weapon.

    “Kochzion the Encroacher. “We will increase output.”

    Wow!

    The Gauss pistol glowed with a mechanical sound.

    [Magic injection increased by 250%]

    [Special bullet ‘Bleeding Molar’ bullet count: 14.]

    [Skill activation ‘Lancaster Marksmanship (A-)’]

    [Skill activation ‘Barrel Alchemy Transformation (B)’]

    Soma felt his Crisis Detection (B+) advantage blossoming.

    “everyone! “Get down!”

    flash of light

    The bullet collided with the wall causing an indescribable roar.

    As the team members suppressed their groans as they looked at the wall with clear whirlpool marks on it Hayeonsi’s gaze turned to the rear.

    ‘What about your brother?’

    Clap

    A new magazine was inserted into the steaming gun.

    D’s weapon eroder Kohzion was suddenly right in front of Joo Gong-hyeok aiming at his forehead.

    “I knew it would be like this.”

    Gonghyuk shrugged his shoulders.

    A gunshot rang out and a headless body bounced on the floor like a basketball.

    “no!”

    D thought while listening to Yeonsi’s shout.

    ‘I killed all the Joo Gong-hyeok I could see. We have achieved our goal and now we have to retreat…’

    [Diamond History (S) 1st ability activation ‘Niwangshingi (仁王神氣)’]

    [Skill activation ‘Iron Charge (B)’]

    Kwaaaaang!

    A tackle like a truck dug into D’s waist.

    D who was stuck on the wall looked down at his opponent.

    Soma was crushing D with his strong shoulder.

    ‘Is it Dhritarashtra Soma Sangai?’

    D sighed as he looked at him a monster from the future but still a young chick.

    D felt the need to awaken Soma just a little bit.

    “Soma sangai. “I hope you listen carefully.”

    “······”

    “We are not your enemies. “He’s just an enemy of Joo Gong-hyeok.”

    Soma did not respond and silently tied D up.

    “Joo Gong-hyeok is not hope. It’s just a mess. He will destroy you for his own purposes.”

    “asleep···.”

    Hayeonsi’s calm voice was heard.

    “Don’t stop my brother.”

    Mei profit

    The steel frames of the underground water pipe were torn off by Hayeonsi’s telekinetic powers.

    The steel frames twisted dozens of times like laundry became sharp like horns and flew towards D’s eyeballs and mouth.

    “Look. “The things he ruined.”

    The steel frame thrown by Hayeon City was not only aimed at D.

    The steel-framed spear flew indiscriminately and stabbed Soma in the back.

    Only then did Soma’s mouth open.

    “Buddha walked through a thorny path to reach nirvana.”

    “Is it inevitable to make some sacrifices to save humanity?”

    D laughed bitterly.

    “As always Joo Gong-hyeok will distort the purpose to suit his own taste. Don’t forget. He reverses his decision. “Only for your own benefit.”

    Kwaaaaang!

    The skill of the four avatars combined hit D in the chest.

    A silver reinforced skeleton was revealed from the white burnt solar plexus.

    “That was a long story.”

    After stroking his bones once D aimed the gun behind the wall.

    When the trigger was pulled 18 bullets were fired.

    Soma was thrown away by the recoil.

    I raised my head and looked at D but there was no sign of him beyond the collapsed wall.

    ‘Is it stealth or spatial movement?’

    I stood up and checked the collapsed wall but there was only a huge cavity and no trace of him anywhere.

    “Oppa is right. My brother looks for answers in any situation. “Don’t abandon me.”

    Hayeonsi was constantly muttering in the direction where D disappeared.

    Her appearance was not normal.

    Soma averted his eyes from Hayeonsi.

    She was broken.

    The girl who saved Soma from dying on the first floor and tried to smile even in difficult situations has disappeared.

    Because he lacked strength.

    Or because someone turned away.

    ‘I didn’t understand him ignoring people.’

    Soma raised his arms.

    There were scars growing on his bandaged arms.

    As many as the number of people he couldn’t save on the third floor.

    ‘I thought his behavior of ignoring people had a meaning that I didn’t know.’

    But was that really the case?

    In hindsight Joo Gong-hyuk passed by countless people who could have been saved.

    Was there really a hidden meaning? Or could the action have resulted in a greater reward?

    Some may have been.

    But before that he seemed to have no interest in saving people.

    I hate to think about it but

    Rather it seemed like he wanted people dead.

    ‘you are···.’

    Doubts grew within Soma.

    ‘Do you really want to save people?’

    * * * * *

    Cheeeeeeeek─

    Brown liquid poured out of D’s punctured chest.

    Liquid flowed back from every pore in my body from my eyes to my ears.

    ‘Did I talk too much?’

    This was not the damage suffered by Hayeonsi.

    Unexplained damage occurred throughout the body.

    Time paradox.

    Punishment given to those who try to change the future.

    ‘I understand. ‘Why is memory imperfect?’

    The reason their memories were incomplete was because something higher was restraining them.

    A lot of things disappeared from his mind because of the mistake he made a while ago.

    ‘We must kill Joo Gong-hyeok before we forget any more. however….’

    He suddenly realized one thing.

    ‘What was my name?’

    I couldn’t remember my own name.

    Soon he forgot the name of the gun he was carrying.

    Next I forgot the concept of a gun.

    ‘We must kill Joo Gong-hyeok.’

    He knew what he had to do.

    But I couldn’t think of a reason why I should do it.

    ‘I shot one out of twenty-four bullets.’

    ‘I will kill Joo Hyuk.’

    He raised his head.

    I knew it instinctively.

    His sign of great power is above.

    And his colleagues too.

    “I have to go.”

    he muttered.

    A colleague is in danger.

    We need to help him.

    He raised the stick he had previously known as a ‘gun’.

    A powerful arc discharge erupted.

    “I have to go.”

    Misfired bullets crawl up the collapsed ceiling.
