Regressing with the King’s Power Chapter 123

Episode 123

“In the end, I chose war.”

Ji Jin-hee sighed softly.

Although it is said that it can influence the new Korea in the mid to long term, it is still a foreign country.

In the end, it’s just a Japanese thing.

Still, the reason I sighed was because it didn’t feel like anything else.

“Chairman Kubota made a rather drastic choice. Plus, the video is broadcast as if it were a live broadcast.”

Screen installed in the association president’s office.

Ko Tae-wook said while watching the video of Yuki Broadcasting Station playing there.

“Haven’t they done that before? “It’s not even new anymore.”

Ji Jin-hee said, turning her attention to the video.

A war was going on there.

What is different from the war we previously knew is that it is not fought between humans.

It is a war between humans and monsters.

It was like watching the chaos that Ji Jin-hee was in at her prime.

“It’s pretty good.”

Ji Jin-hee said with sincerity.

Contrary to the initial information that bombing would reduce the number of monsters, the 30,000 Self-Defense Forces troops were scattered and dealing with monsters.

Class A monster Centaur.

Dozens of centaurs appear to be herding sheep.

They were driving tens of thousands of humans brought from Kyoto.

“He’s a survivor… After all, high-level monsters are difficult to deal with.”

“I agree. From Japan’s perspective, this seems to have been messed up from the very beginning.”

30,000 Self-Defense Forces with limited weapons of mass destruction.

The only weapons they were carrying were rifles, grenades, and gatling tanks.

The selfish spirit of civilization was on fire.

Some awakened people used skills.

I even felt like I was watching a movie.

[Queeeeeek.]

[Claralak.]

[Chwiiik.]

The low-level monsters died helplessly due to the overwhelming volume of attack.

Monsters such as trolls and ogres also endured it.

Before long, their bodies also turned into pieces of meat and scattered.

The Self-Defense Forces drove away the monsters without mercy.

at that time.

The centaurs who were watching from behind pushed the humans forward.

They set up human shields.

The centaurs began swinging the axes they were holding.

People who felt their lives were in danger began to scream and scatter in all directions.

In an instant, the firepower of the Self-Defense Forces stopped.

But it seemed like he expected it.

The 30,000 Self-Defense Forces were split to the sides in perfect order.

About a hundred players who were preparing behind the scenes activated their skills.

Kwachang. Kwachang. Kwachang. Kwachang.

A total of four curtains separated the centaurs and humans.

In the meantime, hundreds of players rushed to the front.

The battle between the monster and the player has begun.

The firepower of the Self-Defense Forces, which had retreated to the side, flared up again.

“That’s cruel.”

“But it’s a great tactic.”

A significant number of monsters have already been eliminated.

Although most of them were low-level monsters.

It was clear at a glance that the number of deaths among the Self-Defense Forces and players was low.

Above all, the deaths of monsters with their heads exploding and their bodies being cut off did not seem sensational at all.

“Did you feel it?”

Go Tae-wook opened his mouth softly.

Ji Jin-hee’s expression darkened after thinking for a moment.

“Could it be… that they are thinking of making their own people insensitive to war?…” “

Yes… I can’t help but doubt that at least.”

Go Tae-wook nodded.

The reason why the Japanese government, under the name of Yuki Broadcasting Station, is broadcasting videos that are no different from live broadcasts to the world.

At first, I thought it was simply to show off Japan’s national power.

However, until now, no broadcasting station has produced a video that is no different from a live broadcast.

And they didn’t even air a video full of fresh blood, as if it were live.

Ji Jin-hee and Go Tae-wook had always wondered about that.

But now I realized it through the video in front of my eyes.

Unlike players, civilians have fewer opportunities to encounter monsters.

The sight of the monster dying is also the same.

Monsters are not animals.

They are evil spirits and monsters that eat people.

Therefore, it is also seen by humans who have encountered the death of monsters for the first time.

The deaths of the monsters in the video did not feel cruel or gross at all.

Of course, something that must be killed.

A being that is not strange even if killed.

People were excited by the thought of the same ‘person’ being killed.

That excitement was leading to the death of the monster and making me insensitive to the death of the same person.

“It’s obvious who came up with it, but… it’s a dangerous idea.”

Although Ji Jin-hee cut down quite a few monsters and demons.

I couldn’t help but frown at that unpleasant thought.

“I agree. “If I get this wrong, there will be a lot of bloodshed.”

Until now, China’s ambition alone has caused quite a bit of bloodshed.

China happened to have lost three national power leaders and wasted a lot of its national power in the unification war.

There would be no better time than now to fight for Asia’s hegemony.

It was a bad sign for the new Korea, which aspires to be a neutral country.

“still. “For now, let’s cheer for their victory.”

Ji Jin-hee said that and silently looked straight at the video.

He devoted his entire life to fighting monsters.

Distortion of history and invasion of the country.

Even habitual lying.

There are countless negative feelings about the Japanese government.

Still, life took precedence over his personal feelings.

“What is the crime of powerless people?”

“Well, I thought the president of the association would say that.”

Go Tae-wook smiled bitterly.

He is truly a man who does not know how to do politics.

That’s what I thought.

“Anyway, it’s amazing.”

“Is it at the national power level for no reason?”

Go Tae-wook looked at the screen again while receiving Ji Jin-hee’s words.

Two men with S-class upper and middle-level strength caught the eye of two men slaughtering a centaur with tremendous force.

They were the saint Yoshikawa Tsurara and the demon sword Shinji Nakata.

Every time the saintess swung the staff she was holding, the centaurs’ heads broke.

Every time the ghost sword swung its sword, the centaurs lost their heads.

It was no different from the S-class monster Knight Centaur.

The two national power-level soldiers quickly slaughtered the high-level monsters.

Likewise, an S+ grade Grand Centaur.

Japan’s S-rank players were doing well against them.

Amid the fierce battle, the road opened at a rapid pace.

The S-rank player’s performance was followed by higher-level players.

On both sides, the Self-Defense Forces continuously fired firepower.

“Take care of the hostages!!”

“Don’t let the monsters get mixed up!!”

“Healers!! “Prepare for massive healing!!”

In a melee.

The Self-Defense Forces troops who had been on standby in advance began to take the hostages out to the rear.

Among them, quite a few people lost their lives, but on the other hand, many others survived.

Go Tae-wook, who was watching, was slightly impressed.

“I can understand the confidence they have in broadcasting publicly.”

“I agree.”

Ji Jin-hee nodded and agreed.

If we were to gather the rankers of New Korea, would we be able to use that strategy?

You can do it.

But the presence of Kim Tae-hyun is essential there.

The power to change the course of a war with just one person.

The national power level was like that.

“Are you thinking about Taehyun?”

“Hmm. Considering the country’s important personnel is an essential virtue that the president of an association must possess. By the way, what is Taehyun doing in this dangerous situation?…”

“Don’t worry too much.”

“hmm?”

“I already attached a trustworthy child. Oh, I just got a call from you a little while ago…”

“Hurry up and tell me!!”

Ji Jin-hee shouted without realizing it.

It was like a grandfather waiting for news about his grandchild.

“Haha….”

Ko Tae-wook burst out laughing at the now familiar sight.

* * *

Japan at that time.

The videos broadcast by Yuki Broadcasting Station could be easily viewed throughout Japan.

Everyone on the street.

I stopped walking and focused my eyes on the large electronic display board.

The atmosphere was heating up as numerous hostages were rescued.

“Kill!! “Monsters and such!!”

“Show Japan’s power!!”

“Ganbare!!!”

In a screaming crowd.

Jerk. Jerk. Jerk.

Taehyun was walking leisurely toward his destination.

and.

Jerk. Jerk. Jerk. Jerk.

There was someone who followed in Taehyun’s footsteps.

‘Tailed…is he a player?’

He was quite capable of hiding his presence and following them.

However, the magic felt from the opponent is only about E grade.

The meaning was simple.

The opponent is at least a grade A player or mine with excellent magic control.

Sigh.

On the street engulfed in madness, the corners of Taehyun’s mouth rose.

‘That’s fun.’

Little by little, Taehyun’s steps became faster.

Grade E. Grade D. C grade. Grade B. Grade A.

Shhh. Easy profit.

It was not a speed that a low-level awakened person could follow with his or her eyes.

Nevertheless, the sign of Taehyun following him did not disappear.

Taehyun increased his speed even further.

S grade.

Unless your speed stat exceeds at least 100, you won’t be able to keep up.

However, there was no hesitation in the speed at which he followed Taehyun.

‘Look at this?’

Taehyun quickly turned into an alley.

Tiring.

[Skill Shadow Skin (AA) has been activated.]

Ssssss.

‘Shadow Skin’ created by combining ‘Stone Skin’ and ‘Stealth’.

The strengthened body naturally blended into nature.

Not even a second passed for the other person to catch up.

A woman came into the alley late.

“…!!”

The woman who followed Taehyun looked embarrassed for a moment at the empty alley.

Soon, his expression hardened and he prepared to activate his skill.

It was to follow Taehyun’s traces.

Blue magic bloomed from her body.

but.

“Until there.”

Ssssssut.

Taehyun, who unlocked the skill, appeared.

“…!!”

The woman hurriedly distanced herself from Taehyun’s sudden appearance.

It wasn’t just the woman who was surprised.

“What are you… doing here?”

It’s a face I never expected.

Taehyun asked without hiding his embarrassed expression.

The woman became the face of a child caught stealing.

“hey.”

“….”

“Ayoung Lim?”

“I was just passing by…”

Of course, the lame excuse didn’t work.

“For someone who was just passing by, he was desperately chasing you? “I’m trying to use my skills in this narrow alley.”

“That’s…”

Ayoung looked embarrassed.

Taehyun roughly understood the situation.

New Korea’s A-grade player.

If that precious resource had come all the way to Japan and was following in his footsteps, wouldn’t the reason be obvious?

‘I think the position has changed.’

The future changed with Taehyun’s presence.

It occurred to me that she, who should have received an S-class license, was issued a B-class license.

The power of A-class and S-class licenses is worlds apart.

The public value that must be built is also enormous.

‘Well, an S-class license doesn’t mean much to this guy, but…’

Taehyun was the type of person who couldn’t live without debt.

“Taehyun Kim. More than that, Japan is dangerous right now…”

Taehyun placed his hand on Lim Ah-young’s mouth as she tried to change the topic.

“Lim Ayoung.”

“It’s a misunderstanding situation, but…”

“Would you like to be my partner?”

“what?”

Ayoung’s eyes seemed to be asking what nonsense this was.

“Wouldn’t it be better to move together to monitor this?”

“…!!”

A series of events to come.

Taehyun dragged her into the enormous chaos.
