EP.52 Existence Itself is Martial Law, First Boss Battle ★5

In a cathedral in Jungnae-dong.

A large building that was originally a cathedral.

There was one man crossing this place now.

An elderly man with a solemn face, his hair combed back like a CF model.

A benevolent smile, thin-framed glasses, and even a somewhat shabby electric wheelchair.

The man dressed like a cardinal finally stood on the podium.

The people packed tightly in the church pews let out exclamations just at that.

It wasn't easy to gather so many people in these times.

But this man, Jeon Jang-gyeon, accomplished it alone.

Jang-gyeon looked around at the audience and smiled contentedly.

"Everyone, the reason I called this urgent gathering is for nothing else. It's for a promise!"

What kind of promise could it be?

He pointed his index finger at the air.

"Let me ask anew. Who are we?"

The audience couldn't even open their mouths, as if overwhelmed. Jeon Jang-gyeon was tall but not of good build.

Nevertheless, he alone was overwhelming the people.

"One Mind Peace! It's the doctrine that embraces us. Let's be peaceful today too! But that peace may be broken!"

The people murmured.

People were confused since the world had become like this.

It was questionable if they could even live until tomorrow.

But they ended up living on. It was thanks to a leader named Jeon Jang-gyeon.

The interior of the cathedral that had become noisy after a long time.

Jang-gyeon, who once aspired to be a track and field athlete but became disabled after injuring his back in a motorcycle accident.

He wished and wished.

For salvation. That he was praying like this.

Around the time those prayers started to feel meaningless, the Desire League began.

Jeon Jang-gyeon, who had always harbored ambitions, gathered and led people.

Of course, thanks to his awakened ability he could walk like a normal person.

But he stubbornly insisted on using a wheelchair.

"I am the religious leader. As the leader, I want to protect you all. Today, I heard information that a child of Satan has appeared from the direction of Gongheo-dong."

More murmuring.

The death of Go Uk-hee, the thug who once had a tight grip on this district, actually caused ripples for many people.

It was partly because of the weight of his name.

But more than anything, it was because he was originally a member of the famous circle called 'Road Fighters'.

In terms of school manga, it was like Ikhyun had taken down the famous class 1 bully.

Jang-gyeon licked his lips.

"But don't worry! I am a body chosen by the Lord! I will be vigilant. I will watch over you. I hope you have One Mind Peace today too!"

"Wooahhh!"

"Amen, amen!"

"Jeon Jang-gyeon, Jeon Jang-gyeon!"

The people cheered enthusiastically.

Players and non-players alike became of one mind and chanted his name.

Jang-gyeon retreated with his close aides, smiling.

And as always, he made an order.

"Have a female college student wait for me today."

"Um, we have a physical education major and an art major. Which one would you like?"

"The art major would be good. She should have culture, right?"

"Yes, understood."

A fishy smile appeared on Jang-gyeon's face.

***

Meanwhile, Yuk I-ho was sighing and looking down at somewhere.

There was only one place visible from the apartment rooftop, a hospital.

It was the most famous nuclear medicine hospital in this area, and also the place Yuk I-ho was aiming for.

Soon there was a presence behind him.

Woong-in approaching with an extremely tired face. He wanted to place responsibility.

On Yuk I-ho, who had toyed with him while saying he would provide support from behind.

"Yuk I-ho! Uk-hee died because of you! Fuck!"

"A defeated dog, huh..."

Yuk I-ho turned around calmly.

Woong-in looked angry unlike usual. Even this was quite a sight.

"You bastard, I didn't like you from the start. When I said to send support, you only sent 10 people?"

"As far as I know, I've been providing support generously until now. Why are you blaming your incompetence on me?"

Yuk I-ho tilted his head as if he didn't understand.

Woong-in shouted, spitting saliva.

"You bastard with a gaping mouth!"

"Go Woong-gi wasn't cut out for it in the first place. I really don't know how to judge people."

"It's Go Uk-hee!"

"Names are meaningless. Who calls the name of someone who's already dead?"

"You fucking bastard until the end... Die!"

Woong-in took out a hidden gun and pulled the trigger.

It was an item that could easily penetrate even bulletproof glass.

Tatatang! Pihik!

Yuk I-ho just looked on calmly. There was a reason.

'What? A bastard who's about to die soon?'

Whirik, jjeojeojeok!

An ice barrier appeared in front of Yuk I-ho. It blocked the bullets like a lie.

Woong-in shook his head in shock.

"Go Uk-hee couldn't win even with that good ability. Did he win people's hearts? Not even that. Smart? From that perspective, you're better. Why do you follow such a guy?"

"Because he's a friend!"

"Friendship, love, honor, belief. Do these things feed you?"

"...I looked into you too. You were a firefighter, right?"

A sneer flowed across Woong-in's face.

There's nothing like a dark history to stimulate someone.

"Why, were you betrayed while saving people? You're not afraid of fire but afraid of people, huh?"

"You're brave. But it's a waste. Because you'll die. Haah."

"Before that, you..."

Hwaak, hwareureuk!

When he snapped his fingers, bright red flames enveloped Woong-in.

Woong-in flailed his limbs at the sudden situation.

"No, urk, keuhuaak!"

"Let me correct you before you die. Society didn't betray me. I turned my back on society."

Yuk I-ho soon took off his mask.

His face, his whole body.

Was charred ashen gray.

He looked like a corpse that couldn't even maintain a human appearance due to severe burns.

He put his mask back on as the blowing wind felt cold. His scarlet eyes flashed.

"I need to hurry with the plan. Because I have to blow away this godforsaken place."

His eyes rolled, burning fiercely while looking at the flames.

Yuk I-ho smiled slightly while looking down at the nuclear medicine hospital.

***

I came to the square in the game zone.

Ivy was beside me. It was reassuring.

As I was wearing the mask Ivy gave me, people glanced at us one by one.

"Oh, that mask is... that one?"

"I saw it on the Desire Community yesterday."

"They say he's the one who beat up those infamous thugs? Wow, the woman is hot too."

"Fuck, let's be careful too. Don't make eye contact."

I shrugged my shoulders.

It seems I've become known. By the way, what are they saying?

'Desire Community? They say there's some site but it seems surprisingly accessible.'

Regardless, today was the day for a boss battle.

I was curious how it would proceed.

"Ikhyun, let's do our best!"

"Of course. Let's end it spectacularly!"

Soon the game started.

The clock floating in the air clearly pointed to 00:00.

But it didn't start.

There was no moving somewhere or anything like that.

'Hm?'

The people around also hesitated then became flustered. How could there be no news of the game that should start?

"Didn't they say the game would start?"

"Is it an error?"

"This has never happened before. Haah."

"Fuck, I want to normalize."

I watched quietly for now.

The notification saying it would start was still floating there.

As I was about to watch with my arms folded.

Someone's eyes lit up and pointed at the air. What is it?

"Wait, what's that?"

"Hm? Keoheok!"

Suddenly a rift in space opened and a giant hand appeared with a swish.

It stabbed a person with its index finger, and that person exploded with their bones and flesh separating.

It happened in an instant.

People were flustered at that chaos.

"Uwaak!"

"Everyone prepare for battle!"

"Fuck, was the boss battle game zone here? You fucking red bean paste bastards!"

"Come to think of it, the NPCs disappeared too!"

Only then did I get a sense of it.

It seems boss battles are done like this. They twisted it quite well.

[Players must survive. Defeat the boss and survive!]

It was an idea worthy of the Celestial Horse Demon King.

I tried to watch how well they fight for now.

I was relaxed.

Only weak guys, or those trying to cope desperately like now.

A huge rift in space opened, and finally the master appeared.

It was a giant with an ashen gray body.

Some parts were burned pitch black, some parts were frozen solid with huge icicles stuck in them.

Its whole body was also covered in unidentifiable tattoos.

Its appearance itself was threatening.

As the giant looked down, people finished preparing and charged.

"Sorry but we've been through thick and thin too!"

"Everyone spam skills!"

"I'll snipe!"

"Sorry but you're no match for me! Normalization!"

Players rushing at the giant.

It must be their first time fighting together, but they unexpectedly worked well together.

It was evidence that the level of players now has been standardized that much.

The effects of weeding out are showing.

Peng peng, kwajik! Kwareureung!

The number of people killed by the giant increased, but they somehow cornered it.

A person wearing heavy armor shouted.

"Keuuk, we've got it! Someone land the finishing blow!"

"Someone..."

"I'll do it, I will!"

A person dressed like a mage drew hand seals.

At that moment, a giant index finger appeared in midair, stabbed the mage, and disappeared.

Another instant death.

What a scary bastard.

People despaired. At this rate, cornering it with effort would become meaningless.

But who do we have?

"Ola! I'll finish it! Yahoo!"

Ivy charged while enveloped in golden light.

Her form advancing through the crowd was like a shooting star.

As the giant recognized Ivy running quickly, it tried to stab with its index finger like before.

Of course, Ivy wasn't one to fall for such a thing.

After leaping high to dodge, Ivy landed on the giant's hand.

She ran leisurely up its arm.

Ivy leapt towards the giant's face then spread her lower body wide.

"Shining Wizard!"

She kicked hard. The giant staggered with an intense sonic boom.

As people watched expectantly. The giant's head burst like a watermelon.

"Wooahhh!"

"What, is she a goddess of victory?"

"Yeah, she must be a goddess...!"

"Amen!"

But the joy was short-lived.

The collapsing giant's corpse bubbled.

Sensing danger, Ivy shouted.

"Everyone fall back!"

Ivy retreated together.

The giant's corpse changed bizarrely. It suddenly transformed into small baby angels.

People laughed as if deflated.

"What, baby angels?"

"Is this some kind of event? That?"

"How much will we get if we catch them?"

"The magical power I sense is only goblin level!"

Greed replaced fear in people's eyes.

They rushed in right away.

But one baby angel flew and headbutted.

The hit person's body twisted then shattered. As if struck by the giant's index finger.

"C-crazy!"

"Each one is giant level?"

"Fuck... how are we supposed to win?"

"Wait, they're multiplying!"

As someone said, the baby angels multiplied like bubbles while grinning widely.

With innocent smiles, while killing the people around them.

They multiplied endlessly. Really endlessly.

People despaired. Just as Ivy was about to step forward again.

I stood beside her. I can't use my shadow ability, but I have that.

"Ivy, watch closely."

"Huh?"

"What the man noona likes can do."

I took out Galatine.

The warm holy sword shining with radiance as always.

I injected mana into Galatine fully and raised it.

I swung while activating the active ability.

"Galatine!"

Light gathered at the sword tip then spread. It spread and spread to become like waves.

Waves of light burning like fire mercilessly swept away the multiplying baby angels.

I annihilated them all.

[Victory!]

[Gained 2000000 Desire Points (DP)!]

I gained 2 million.

Everyone looked at me with dumbfounded expressions.

I had only one thing to say.

"How about that, really easy right?"

I crushed it.
