Skill Devouring Up to Floor 666 Episode 184
184. Dimensional Rift
The entire world was turned upside down simultaneously.
[Breaking News! Monster Swarm Appears in Tokyo Shibuya Sky]
[BREAKING NEWS! Monsters Attack Times Square]
[London Trafalgar Square, Dimensional Rift Occurs… Citizen Evacuation Order]
[Above Paris Eiffel Tower, Monsters from Black Hole….]
News outlets from each country competed to broadcast breaking news.
The internet was instantly flooded with related articles.
SNS and portal site search terms were all covered with monster invasion-related topics.
└Crazy… it really happened just like Amon said
└Is this real? Not a movie?
└Just watched Times Square live and it’s literally hell
└Thanks to deploying Apostles in advance, there are no casualties yet.
└What would have happened if Amon hadn’t warned us beforehand?
└But why is Korea quiet?
└We weren’t on the list
└No no, monsters appeared in Korea too. But Amon is blocking them all by himself lol
└??? By himself?
└Yeah, looking at photos from Rodeo Street, there’s a mountain of monster corpses
└Other countries barely manage with hundreds of people, but he’s doing it alone?
└As expected of Amon… he’s on a different level
└This is why he’s Labyrinth rank 1
Major broadcasters like CNN, BBC, and NHK suspended regular programming to air emergency special reports.
“Viewers, what you’re seeing on screen is not computer graphics. This is actually happening at New York Times Square.”
The screen vividly captured monsters pouring from the sky and Apostles desperately fighting against them.
“Despite Amon’s advance warning, the Apostles are struggling to hold them back. The reality that we can’t help is truly hopeless… Oh! Just as I’m speaking, someone has appeared!”
A black wave appeared beside the Apostles blocking the monsters.
It was none other than Amon’s summons.
Nearly 2,000 troops each wielding swords mercilessly cut down the monsters.
As they joined the battle, the scales tipped instantly.
That scene was captured live on screen.
└What is that!?
└They look like soldiers?
└Are they human?
└No, they’re summons.
└They’re Amon’s summons!!
└Wow! They’re overwhelming with sheer numbers?
└The monsters are just getting slaughtered?
└This is insane!
└A-mon! A-mon!
The reaction from viewers watching in real-time was heated.
The chat window was instantly flooded with messages of admiration and awe.
The Apostles on site seemed to feel the same, all watching with their mouths agape.
There was no longer any need for them to step in.
Rodeo Street scene.
“This is… Amon’s power?”
Han So Ra couldn’t close her mouth.
Monsters poured like rain from the black hole.
An enormous number, easily over several hundred.
But.
Crackle! Crackle!
Not a single one reached the ground.
Only monster corpses fell down.
Every time a flashing light streaked across, monsters were torn to shreds in mid-air.
“This is insane….”
“If this is how it’s going to be, why did he call us?”
Everyone had to agree with Seo Mina’s words.
The area around where they stood was already forming mountains of monster corpses.
The stench of blood was overwhelming, but thanks to the barrier Amon had set up, it wasn’t transmitted to civilians.
“I think he called us in case he missed something….”
“It really was a one-in-ten-thousand chance.”
Han So Ra let out a hollow laugh, and her colleagues beside her nodded in agreement.
“From what I can see, he’s not going to miss a single one?”
That was exactly right.
Amon simply stood treading on air, continuously swinging his spear.
Each time he did, lightning burst forth, completely crushing all enemies in front of the hole.
Even if he occasionally missed a monster, the summons on standby would immediately rush in and tear it apart.
In reality, the Amon Guild had nothing to do.
“Is this something a human can do?”
Just as Jason clicked his tongue, Park Se Hee spoke up.
“Instead of doing this, we should help evacuate the citizens. Even though Amon is blocking with telekinesis, you never know what might happen.”
Everyone agreed with that suggestion.
“Right, let’s evacuate them further away.”
“We should clear out a 1km radius.”
The Amon Guild members scattered to help with citizen evacuation.
In the current situation, that was all they could do.
Meanwhile, in other countries, the situation was completely different.
“Damn it! There are too many monsters!”
Elite Apostles had mobilized in full force at the Sydney Opera House.
But it wasn’t enough.
Even Apostles who had surpassed Floor 130 were struggling.
“Time Bomb!”
“Divine Judgment!”
“Earthquake!”
All kinds of skills were flying around, but the number of monsters didn’t decrease.
Kill one and ten appeared, kill ten and a hundred poured out.
“We need more support!”
“Support is coming!”
“We need it right now! At this rate we’re all going to die, damn it!”
“Hey you bastard! Does yelling like that solve the situation? Think about how to properly defend!”
“I’m doing my best!”
Arguments broke out among the Apostles.
They were losing their reason in the extreme situation.
The area in front of the Opera House was literally a battlefield.
Thanks to Amon mentioning the locations in advance, quite a number of Apostles had gathered, but that alone wasn’t enough for perfect preparation.
No one knew this many would swarm in.
“Ahhh!”
An Apostle was torn by a monster’s claws and fell.
Blood pooled thickly on the floor.
“Healer! Where’s the healer!”
“Isn’t more support coming!?”
“We already called for it, so all we can do is wait!”
“We’ll all die waiting! At this rate even civilians will become casualties!”
Indeed, monsters were chasing citizens who hadn’t managed to evacuate.
Just as screams could be heard from all directions.
Crack! Crack!
Suddenly, monsters began falling down in droves.
“What? What’s happening?”
Soldiers who appeared from somewhere were massacring the monsters.
500? 1,000? No, there were even more than that.
The exact number was unknown, but it was overwhelming military power.
The armored soldiers moved in perfect unison, sweeping away the monsters.
Each one showed combat power beyond that of an Apostle.
“Did they call this many Apostles?”
“No, those aren’t Apostles.”
One Apostle spoke with a trembling voice.
Looking closely, soul flames were flickering where the soldiers’ faces should have been.
“What are those?”
“I’ve seen them on TV. They’re Amon’s summons.”
“What? Amon came all the way here?”
“No. Amon is in Korea right now. I saw it on live broadcast.”
“Then what are these things?”
“Obviously Amon sent them to support us.”
Amon’s support forces appeared to number around 2,000.
When the summons appeared like a swarm and pressured the monsters, the tide of battle was instantly reversed.
“This is crazy. Each one is that strong and they’re all summons?”
“Just how strong is Amon who commands such summons?”
“Anyway, we can breathe easy now.”
Unable to handle the force of 2,000 troops, the monsters could no longer advance and died as they emerged from the dimensional hole.
Additional Apostles arrived late, but they had nothing to do.
The situation had already been resolved.
London, Paris, Berlin, and all other cities faced similar situations.
Initially pushed back, but as soon as Amon’s summons arrived, the battle situation was completely overturned.
Tokyo, where the summons had arrived early, suffered no damage at all.
‘Thank goodness. The soldiers arrived in time.’
Before the dimensional rift occurred.
I divided the 14,000 summons I had called with King’s Army and sent them to seven locations.
I deployed at least 2,000 to each city.
However, for New York and São Paulo, I had to use Instant Teleportation or open Spatial Portals to send the summons.
I prioritized taking care of the distant countries first.
The rest had no choice but to fly there directly.
‘That’s why it took some time to get there.’
Still, it was fortunate that there wasn’t much damage.
The summons that arrived in each country effectively blocked the monsters pouring out.
I could tell this through the senses connected to my summons without having to see it directly.
As time passed, the situation was gradually being resolved in all cities.
The monsters coming out of the dimensional rifts also began to decrease.
The area of the rifts shrank as if they were losing power.
Then at some point, they disappeared completely.
‘How about that, Beriak. How does it feel to have your operation blocked?’
I looked up at where the rift had been and grinned.
No more monsters were coming out.
Administrator’s Space.
[How… how is this…]
Beriak was trembling.
His Black Armor was rattling.
The dimensional rifts created by consuming massive amounts of Terra.
A surprise operation deploying tens of thousands of monsters simultaneously.
It was a perfect plan.
They were supposed to sweep away the humans instantly without giving them time to prepare.
But.
[How were they prepared everywhere?]
At the exact locations, at the exact times, sufficient forces were standing by.
As if they had known all the plans in advance.
[Beriak, what happened?]
[How many humans died?]
The Administrators murmured and asked.
Beriak gritted his teeth.
Red eyes flashed from within his Black Helmet.
[It failed.]
[What?]
[It failed?]
[How could it possibly fail…?]
[Tell us exactly what happened!]
[The humans completely blocked the monsters. Without any significant casualties.]
[What?]
Shock spread among the Administrators.
[Completely… blocked?]
[How is that possible? It was a surprise attack?]
[We consumed so much Terra! And our operation was blocked!?]
[How did they block it? Since it was a surprise attack, casualties should have been inevitable!?]
[Explain this, Beriak!]
At the Administrators’ outcry, Beriak slowly raised his head.
He too was equally furious about this situation.
But his anger wasn’t directed at the humans.
Beriak’s gaze swept over the Administrators one by one.
[There’s a traitor among us.]
