Chapter 91
#Episode 91
All the business in the United States had been taken care of.
Reynold also seemed preoccupied, apparently having much to do regarding the recently reclaimed territory.
On the way back to the Republic of Korea riding Luna, Tin’s eyes sparkled as he exclaimed in wonder while crossing the vast ocean.
“There are still such beautiful landscapes remaining on Earth!”
“Though the ocean must be teeming with its own share of monsters.”
“Ah.”
“Someday we’ll have to drive out all those creatures in the sea too.”
“We’ll have to… though I don’t know when that’ll be.”
Luna flying toward Earth and the countless spirits following their king stretched out like the Milky Way.
* * *
Upon returning to Korea, this time a landing site had been built specifically for Luna near City Hall and the hotel.
As we slowly descended to the ground, Hyeon-i and Hyeon-cheol greeted us once again.
“You never seem to have a day that isn’t busy, day or night.”
“Tell me about it, I’d like to rest for a few days.”
“I’d also like for you to rest for a few days, Hunter.”
Though I had plenty of physical strength left, the mental energy used in handling various matters had been greatly depleted.
Now it was time to look after myself.
“Who might this person be…?”
“Ah, this is Valentin. He’ll be normalizing the North Korean territory.”
“Ohhh, all of North Korea?”
“Yes, you can hear the details directly from him.”
Hyeon-i, who was originally from North Korea, took Tin away with sparkling eyes.
Tin, who was completely different from himself challenging the essence of mechanical engineering, seemed fascinating to him.
“Well then, we’ll go rest for a bit.”
“Yes, you’ve worked hard. I’ll make sure to minimize any contact, so please rest well.”
“Yes, then…”
After returning to the hotel with my companions and washing up, I lay down.
This hotel somehow feels like it’s been upgraded with something new every time I see it.
Luna, now fluffy and clean, burrowed into my embrace.
Something warm, soft, and squishy made my heart feel healed as well.
“Cute little thing.”
Kyaaah!
I gently scratched under her chin and gradually fell asleep.
It felt like I would be able to have good dreams tonight.
* * *
Valentin, who had rushed straight to North Korea without rest, began cultivating the ruins with almost all the spirits he could command.
He didn’t forget to thoroughly protect the railway areas he had heard about several times from Cha Hyeon-su so that monsters couldn’t destroy them.
The damage to the land was more serious than expected, requiring him to run around diligently.
Fortunately, most of the support was generously provided by the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea.
The earth stained with monsters’ demonic energy and blood began to heal.
The Land of Death, where even plants couldn’t be hoped for, was regaining its vitality and becoming a land of life.
After working hard to cultivate the land starting from around the 38th Parallel for a while.
As he restored the earth as far as the eye could see, perhaps having gone off course, the horizon began to come into view.
Even in such an environment, the golden horizon stretching endlessly while embracing the sunset had something that made one’s heart swell.
“…Hmm? What’s that?”
If only it weren’t for that giant monster wriggling around on the sea.
“How dare such an evil monster appear in the territorial waters I manage-!”
Snake-headed monsters began appearing one by one.
And behind them, a monster with a giant dragon’s head was glaring at Tin with blue eyes.
“Monsters…?”
Since the ocean had hardly ever been properly subjugated, the number of marine creature-type monsters was considerable.
“There are… too many of them, aren’t there?”
His thought of immediately commanding the water spirits to sweep them away completely vanished.
No matter how capable he was, fighting those creatures alone in the sea rather than on land would be too much.
“I suppose I’ll have to report this.”
The spirits watching from the side also trembled as if overwhelmed by the sheer number of monsters.
He had been happy about finally getting to rest properly, but was it okay to make such a report?
“…If I postpone it, they’ll only multiply further, so there’s no choice!”
Tin, riding the wind, began flying back to Seoul.
* * *
The Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea.
The provisional government, achieving remarkable progress day by day, had just as many tasks piling up.
Of course, most could be handled internally, but among them, tasks that couldn’t be processed would occasionally arise.
“Even from satellite photos, they’re densely packed.”
Today’s issue was about the marine monsters that Tin had brought information about.
If it were simply a matter of large numbers, we could handle the subjugation ourselves, but among them were some that looked quite formidable.
Since this wasn’t ordinary land combat but naval warfare, there were additional problems to consider.
And standing at the forefront of such problems was always Hyun-soo.
“What kind of damn land keeps spawning monsters every other day…”
Hyun-soo clicked his tongue while holding his head.
He had returned thinking he could rest peacefully for about a week, but that thought was brutally shattered in less than a day.
Moreover, considering the severity of the situation, it couldn’t be left unattended.
“You always work so hard.”
I handed him a report along with a stamina recovery tonic.
In the East Sea captured by Japanese satellites, so many monsters were clustered together that they were visible to the naked eye.
“How many are there in total…”
The fact that the location was at sea made the combat difficulty skyrocket.
If wounded monsters gave up fighting and retreated to the ocean floor, it would become troublesome in many ways.
“At least it’s fortunate we have ships.”
“Not just ships? We have submarines too.”
“I built them just in case, but I didn’t expect to use them so soon.”
Surprisingly, ships and submarines were already prepared for this situation.
Based on technologies received during previous technical exchanges with ministers from various countries, they had been constructed just in case, but who would have thought they’d be used like this.
I even heard that Hyeon-i had made several modifications, installing proprietary artificial intelligence.
Of course, it wouldn’t be at the level of the strong AI I saw in the Tower, but considering Hyeon-i’s current technological capabilities, it would be of considerable help.
“Then the basic problems seem to be roughly resolved. When will you depart?”
“Japan will also participate in this subjugation, so I believe it will be in two days.”
“Two days… Then we don’t need to reveal our submarine.”
“Right, we don’t have a captain capable of handling such a large submarine anyway.”
“That’s the biggest problem. Since we’re moving in small groups anyway, one ship should suffice.”
If the East Sea alone had this many, how many more must be living in larger oceans like the Atlantic or Pacific?
“Sigh… Nothing’s ever easy.”
Since these were all monsters that would need to be subjugated eventually, I was already sighing.
* * *
The day of the marine monster elimination operation.
My usual companions and I boarded the ship that Hyeon-i had supposedly built.
Unusually, Hyeon-i would also participate in this battle.
Not for any other reason, but because there was no one else besides Hyeon-i capable of operating this ship.
“You… built this in the meantime?”
“Yes, while doing other things.”
This wasn’t a scale you could call “while doing other things.”
A ship large enough to be called a battleship had been magnificently constructed.
It was named Manryeongham (Ten Thousand Spirits Warship), apparently built with my abilities in mind.
It possessed enough firepower to serve as a flagship even if it joined the navy right now.
“Looking at it again, bringing Hyeon-i was the best decision of my life…”
“For me too…”
“Agreed…”
After all, isn’t a battleship every man’s dream?
Together with my companions who were mesmerized by the Manryeongham, I boarded the ship.
Hyeon-i entered the bridge, took hold of the main controller, and inserted an iron sphere about the size of a baseball.
Then, with a click, the battleship that had been on standby began to operate in earnest.
What Hyeon-i had inserted seemed to be the artificial intelligence that usually accompanied us.
A familiar voice was heard as the Manryeongham’s system organization was completed and it began operation.
[Manryeongham startup preparation complete.]
[System operation rate – 100%]
[Remaining fuel – 100%]
[Please take care of us, Captain!]
With an energetic call, the Manryeongham began to move.
Simultaneously, communication began with the battleships and submarines that had departed from Japan.
[Ah, this is a communication status check. Can you hear us clearly?]
“Communication status is good. We can hear you clearly without any noise.”
[Good. I am Muichi Kenta, in charge of commanding this operation.]
“Hyeon-i, you speak for our side.”
“Me?”
“Yes, you’re the one operating the ship.”
Hyeon-i’s eyes sparkled, then he nodded.
“This is Captain Lee Hyeon-i of the Republic of Korea’s Manryeongham. Please take care of us.”
[Yes, please take care of us as well.]
The operation was simple, just as we had been briefed beforehand.
We would lightly provoke the demons with modern weaponry, then when the demons showed themselves above the sea, we would freeze the ocean solid.
Originally this would have been impossible, but Japan’s technology and Hyeon-i’s power, and above all, the newly joined Baek Do-hyeon Hunter and Tin’s contributions were crucial.
Of course, I was assigned the separate role of riding Luna and providing support from the sky.
[3 minutes until East Sea point entry.]
“Then, we’ll stop here and wait on standby.”
Since Japan had agreed to provide the firepower to immediately draw out the demons, we didn’t approach any further.
Shortly after, the Japanese submarine completed its approach to the depths of the East Sea.
The radar sounded as it detected numerous demons sleeping in the sea.
“Don’t tell me those are all demons?”
“I guess it’s because they’ve never been properly subjugated… It’s incredible.”
So densely packed it was practically half water, half demons.
No wonder Tin had been discouraged.
[Then, we’ll begin stimulation immediately.]
First, the submarine began deliberately sending out waves as if asking to be heard.
The demons, sensitive as befitting creatures living on the seafloor, began openly showing hostility toward the submarine.
They seemed naturally cautious, as even with such blatant provocation, they didn’t attack first.
But we had already anticipated this much.
[Beginning direct attack.]
With those words, torpedoes installed on the submarine were fired.
Rather than destruction and killing, they were meant to be as loud as possible and provoke the enemies.
We never expected human firepower to work well against demons clustered in such deep seas anyway.
Whoooosh-!
The torpedo that charged through the water exploded magnificently in the middle of the demons.
The waves that erupted in the deep sea vibrated strongly, making even more demons aware of the submarine.
Even what appeared to be the strongest individual was detected turning its head slightly.
[After firing remaining ammunition, we’ll ascend to the surface.]
Since the original plan was to provoke them to the point of complete fury, the submarine fired all remaining torpedoes and began ascending steeply.
The plan seemed to work well, as we could feel the enraged demons frantically following the submarine upward.
“Tin and Baek Do-hyeon Hunter, to the deck!”
“Understood!”
Immediately, the two hunters with water spirits and elemental magic in hand made eye contact with the Japanese fleet.
3…2…1.
[Now!]
The submarine cut through the surface and quickly escaped.
The moment the demons that thrust their heads forward burst above the surface and turned their heads to determine direction.
Crack-!
The vast East Sea froze solid in a single instant.
