Since the appearance of the monsters, Moscow, the capital of Russia, had become a city of silence and tranquility. The new powers of Russia wanted to maintain their power and status through fear, and of course, they did not allow anyone but themselves to raise their voices.

“Come on! Move fast!” But now there were countless voices filling Red Square.

“Here! Get through this way!”

“Get this out of the way!”

“Send someone! How many times do I have to tell you, huh?”

It was not just one voice. The languages and races of various countries, including English, German, French, and others, were coming together to raise their voices.

What was even more surprising was that the noise, the talk all at the same time, was organically intertwined for one purpose, like when the tower of Babylon was built, when everyone in the world was not subject to language barriers.

‘This is great.’ Jang Sung-hoon admired the scene. ‘I feel like the integration of Europe that no one has ever done, has been done here.’

At that moment, Jang Sung-hoon’s memory returned to a few days ago, the day Kim Tae-hoon had left for Korea. On the day Kim Tae-hoon left, Jang Sung-hoon made a public announcement throughout Europe with the help of the Vatican: a notice that they were recruiting applicants to clean up the debris of Red Square.

There was no compulsion. It was not a situation where coercion was possible. In the situation where Kim Tae-hoon left alone for Korea to stop the Immortal Wolf, what Jang Sung-hoon could do was more limited than he thought.

‘Life is always unexpected.’ To be honest, Jang Sung-hoon did not expect much when he made the announcement. In the age of monsters, who would walk to Moscow, where there was still cold weather, and who would take shovels and pickaxes there and take on the hard work?

There was no great benefit to be given. To put it bluntly, Jang wondered if he could even give them something to eat. However, the results were different from Jang’s expectations.

Tens of thousands of people were willing to take a long journey on their own, and they were breaking and removing the wreckage that had fallen, on their own. Everyone was willing to take the priceless abuse under the flag of the Mac Guild, not the flag of a country. Kim Tae-hoon made Europe move.

‘If I take a picture, I’ll get a Pulitzer Prize, and if I paint it, I’ll be able to step on the threshold of Sotheby’s auction.’ It was a monumental event, really. Jang Sung-hoon, who had to call it, felt the art-soul that he thought had disappeared without leaving ashes. He felt a desire to make the traces of what he saw now through his own hands, not anything.

‘Well, what does it mean to leave it like that?’ However, Jang was not drunk with the art-soul.

‘That’s not the point.’ Instead of lifting his brush, he put on a tattered woodworking glove. ‘Boss, hold on a little longer.’

“Come on, let’s all work hard!” With the cry, Jang Sung-hoon threw himself into the work.

12.

Kim Tae-hoon, who swallowed the coffee he had been holding, opened his eyes again. Into his black eyes suddenly entered the Immortal Wolf, which had reached a distance of about three hundred meters from him.

‘It’s been one hundred and fifty hours.’ It had been that long since the match between the Immortal Wolf and Kim Tae-hoon began. The Immortal Wolf had no change. It was not very angry about the situation, nor did it try anything different.

It just walked when Kim Tae-hoon’s Telekinesis, which was just trying to tie it down, broke down and stopped walking when it was tied by Kim Tae-hoon’s Telekinesis again. That was all.

‘I’m at the limit.’ On the other hand, Kim Tae-hoon was not. The power of the Inexhaustible Infinity was certainly great, endless. No matter how much Energy, Mana, and Telekinesis he used, he felt it was still full and boundless.

‘He’s moving faster.’ The problem was that Kim Tae-hoon’s body was not infinite and not eternal.

‘I’m sure I’m good enough to stay here.’ Moreover, Kim Tae-hoon’s body was not much better than he thought. It couldn’t have been good. After eating the crystal of the Eight-tailed Fox, Kim Tae-hoon’s body was virtually the same as receiving a death sentence.

Even after that, he kept filling his body with transcendental power that was not allowed to human beings, again and again. He filled his body with the Dragon’s power, with the power of the Blue Qilin, and with the power of the Great Giant. He even possessed the power of the Orc Khan, which would drive him crazy, the power that he could not but call a curse because it was too powerful. In the end, he used the power as much as he liked. If he wanted his body to be safe and eternal, it would be a delusion, not greed.

‘It’s been a long time, and this feeling of death coming right is right in front of me.’ In a sense, Kim Tae-hoon was in the midst of the most dangerous moment. If he could not kill the Immortal Wolf in front of him, if he could not eat the monster stone, Kim Tae-hoon would face death from his own power.

There was not much time left. Kim Tae-hoon knew his condition well. He knew that his body could not last three months without the power of immortality. He also knew that the more he used his strength, the faster his life span would be shortened, and in order to stop the Immortal Wolf for more than a week, Kim Tae-hoon had spent most of his life.

‘This is the first time I’ve ever wasted my life like this.’ Kim Tae-hoon always used means and methods to live. So, it was a strange thing. However, Kim smiled lightly at this situation.

‘So much has changed.’ At that time, Kim Tae-hoon’s eyes, above his pale smile, wriggled. He sensed something coming here, toward the vast Manchurian field.

‘… yes, there is no way it is going this quietly.’ The Zombie Monster horde was converging with all its might toward the place where the Immortal Wolf was. Its numbers were considerable.

‘Is it near ten thousand? No, it’ll be more.’ Of course, it was not likely that they would be a threat to Kim Tae-hoon, even if they were united.

‘If I miss this guy, it’s over.’ The problem was that it was virtually impossible to hold this guy as it was now, if the Immortal Wolf was buried in the surging waves of the horde. Even now, as his concentration fell, it was becoming harder to catch the Immortal Wolf.

Kim Tae-hoon did not think of the word abandonment in his mind. He grabbed the sword of the Qin Shi Huang, which was wrapped at his waist, instead of taking another coffee cup.

‘With the Horse Soldiers of the Qin Shi Huang, the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje, and Horse Figure Type Earthenware…’ He measured the battle in his mind. He looked for a way to never back down, to keep things behind him.

At that moment, the voice that Kim had waited for so much knocked on his ear. “Big brother!” In that voice, he raised his hand that was moving toward the Qin Shi Huang Sword to the hilt next to him. He caught the Kusanagi.

“Euuhuh…” The sound of dying at the moment, but the sight of the things that were spitting out the sound, never mingled with it.

Ten thousand, the vast numbers of the Zombie Monster horde were racing through the Manchurian field. It was a tsunami, made of rotten bodies, eating at the Manchurian plains. At the end of the tsunami was a wolf with a body that was beyond even the coming Zombie Monster horde.

The Immortal Wolf tied by Kim Tae-hoon’s Telekinesis slowly advanced, overcoming his Telekinesis. The way a rotten wolf, who seemed ready to be crushed if touched, and to fall down if kicked, walked over, seemed to be unbelievably pathetic and hard to explain.

However, nowhere else was the image of the Immortal Wolf pathetic. It was still spreading its despairing presence, and fear beyond the overwhelming level. Above all, its purple eyes were shining more than ever at this moment. It was a clear proof that it was waiting for this moment.

The Immortal Wolf was waiting for the moment, when the monster horde, which had become Zombies by its own power, disrupted the power trapping it. It was not hard to wait. It could wait forever if necessary.

Its patience was rewarded. The Zombie Monster horde rolled over the Immortal Wolf.

It was a short time. The moment the Immortal Wolf was buried in a huge roar, the Telekinesis to tie it down was lost. It now started running again. No, it didn’t have to run.

The Immortal Wolf was swept forward by the crazed surge of the Zombie Monster horde. It did not resist it, nor did it show anger, sigh, or a cry of a word about its body being tangled with other Zombie monsters. The Immortal Wolf mixed itself into the tsunami of the running horde. It became a tree in a dense forest. No trace of the Immortal Wolf could be seen anywhere.

Thunk! In that situation, a long flash of light ran under the knees of the Zombie Monster horde. The flash brushed under the knees and around the ankles, and it made the Zombie Monster horde a footless horde.

The Zombie Monster horde, which had just lost their feet, began to tumble forward and get tangled up.

A huge wall made of a pile of cramped undead soared over the Manchurian field.

Euhuhu… There were terrifying voices everywhere. In front of the tangled pile, a lump of rotten flesh protruded out and began to wriggle back to shape. The Immortal Wolf saw the man again with its purple eyes, a man who had black eyes and was lifting a sword too big to be a sword. The man, who charged at once, wielded the sword and cut its body in half.

It was the last sight the Immortal Wolf ever saw.

“It’s over!” Bang Hyun-wook’s words were like a spell. As he spoke, the Zombie monsters returned to being rotten bodies. It was the most obvious evidence that the Immortal Wolf Chernobog had died. Evidence that the historical moment was here.

“Big brother!” Bang Hyun-wook, a witness of the historical moment, ran toward the protagonist of the historical moment. “You did it!”

However, the main character in Bang Hyun-wook’s eyes was silent. It was not enough to be silent. He put his hand through the dead body of the Immortal Wolf, which had now become rotten, crumpled meat. He pulled out the purple crystal and looked at it with his black eyes.

“Huck! Big brother?” Bang Hyun-wook was frightened by the appearance. “That, that’s rotten! That’s rotten!”

Instead of answering in front of the frightened Bang Hyun-wook’s cry, he put the purple crystal he had brought out in his mouth. He swallowed it even though the rotten smell stewed in his mouth.

“Ugggh!” Bang Hyun-wook grimaced as he watched the scene.

On the other hand, the man looked at the back of his right hand with a calm, but very generous look.

=========

When the man finished checking his right hand, the man gave his gaze to Bang Hyun-wook, who had drawn near. Then he opened his mouth, “Now is the time.”

“Yes?”

At the cross-questioning of Bang Hyun-wook, Kim Tae-hoon handed over the three-meter-long sword he was holding to Bang Hyun-wook, instead of answering.

“Oh? Huh? What’s wrong with you all of a sudden?” Surprised, Bang Hyun-wook received the great sword. Soon, however, Bang Hyun-wook laughed. “You want me to take it with you? Yes, sir, I’ll carry your weapon from now on!”

Kim Tae-hoon did not laugh at the laughing Bang. Instead of laughing, he said quietly, “You’re the only one who’s going back.”

“Yes?”

“I’m not going back.”

“What the hell does that mean…”

“It’s time for them to pay for the price of our blood.” After finishing his speech, Kim Tae-hoon turned his back on Bang Hyun-wook and walked away from Bang Hyun-wook, who had a blank expression.

As such, Kim Tae-hoon’s appearance disappeared over the Manchurian field.

The Pentagon was one of the most famous buildings in the world, and also one of the most curious buildings in the world. The greatest curiosity of all was about the building in the middle of the Pentagon.

America was a great country, unprecedented in human history.

What is in the middle of a pentagonal concrete mass that oversaw the military power of the great powers?

The answer to that question is surprisingly simple: a cafe.

In the park in the middle of the Pentagon, in the building between the forests, was a cafe. The café was called Ground Zero. It was a pleasant name, in the sense that if a nuclear war happened, it would be the first to be hit.

But after the monsters appeared, such joy was no longer in the Pentagon.

What remained in the Pentagon was the new American powers who now ruled the Americas. Mao Spencer was there now. He was in a position to report after receiving the news.

“We’ve got the position of the Resistance executives. This will help us deal with them sooner or later.” Now Mao was a subordinate of John Smith, the head of the Pentagon. “The Panther Unit sent to secure the Mayan Calendar has entered Mexico.”

“Good work.”

It was humiliation. It was usually impossible for a person who once wanted to take control of the world, and who thought he had done so, to bow his head to a man like a horse.

“Yes.”

In other words, Mao had a reason why he was enduring humiliation and now was serving as not the head of the Six Snakes, but as the subordinate of the head of the Pentagon that dominated the United States. He turned his back, his head down at John Smith’s gesture, and was out of the center of the Pentagon.

“Mr. Mao.”

“What’s the matter?”

“I think he’s dead somehow.”

“He?”

“I think he died in the battle with Chernobog.”

At this moment Mao could taste the very sweet price of the humiliation he had endured.

“It was worth the setup of the second trap.”
