Reincarnator – Chapter 195 : Pektoril (4)
"Come at me!"
Kwadududuk!
Kalipso blinked his eyes as if he couldn't believe the sight of a human massacring the members of his race.
There was no other nightmare like this.
The bugs with weak bodies and trash-like consciousness.
The only strong point they had was having more numbers than the Rebeloongs.
They didn't have a civilization and they roamed around the world with their bodies alone.
This was the humans he knew.
'Is he a mutant that only looks similar?'
Kalipso muttered inwardly.
Boom!
Kwaddduduk!
Crunch!
He knew it made no sense but seeing the crazy bastard in the distance, it actually felt quite reasonable.
That guy wasn't tiring out and he was actually killing and chasing the members of his race even faster now.
And once they felt danger, their habits of communal lifestyles surfaced as they were slowly gathering around him as if they weren't embarrassed about this at all.
He had to decide quickly.
As to how to deal with that nightmare.
'Shall we kill him by charging at him all together? Or… Split up and stall for time until the Satellite Fortress comes back?'
Kalipso stopped as he thought of these two things.
What the hell was he thinking?
His pride will get damaged and the Akalachias were watching him as well.
That little demon wasn't the only issue.
Once they split up then the giant Akalachias will hunt his race down one by one.
Kalipso woke up.
He could not let that happen.
'I need to reduce the damage as much as I can.'
And he still had a very useful card to play.
Kalipso finished his thoughts and shouted.
"Humans! Hear me! Kill that guy!"
At those words everyone including the ones fighting and the ones who had run away flinched.
To jump in there?
That was a person who was massacring the Rebeloongs that they couldn't even handle.
A person who massacred the Higher Race the way the Higher Race massacred them.
How the hell would they go up against such a monster?
Actually, they didn't even understand why they had to attack such a person.
To attack a person who was fighting for them, fighting instead of them.
And they could clearly see the massacre in front of their eyes.
Boom! Boooom!
The fear of the Higher Races that had rooted deep within their minds were trying to make their footsteps move but the reality in front of their eyes stopped them.
As the people only fumbled around and refused to go out Kalipso was enraged as he started to grind his teeth.
'These cheeky bastards.'
The fear that they felt towards him and the other Higher Races that they had implanted over decades were pushing them.
Usually they would tremble in fear and run out but now they were fumbling about and could not walk out.
This is all because the Rebeloong's pride and might had been crushed apart.
This was why he needed to kill that demon as soon as possible.
It made sense that the humans should deal with this since a human was causing all of this.
Kalipso finished his thoughts as he shouted towards the humans who were fumbling around.
"Look at these bugs! Move! You think that guy will win in the end? Hahaha! Wake up!"
"Ugh…"
The people looked between Kalipso and the guy fighting in the distance as they clenched their teeth.
Those words were right.
That guy was extremely strong.
To the point where him being a human sounded wrong.
But that was it.
His strength was respectable and his might had reached the pinnacle but the Rebeloongs and the Higher Races were a mountain that they could not cross.
'Fucking bastard…'
The people were lost in thought with an expression of utter despair.
For the Rebeloongs to try to make them go out in front despite their strength.
In order to live a day longer they needed follow the words of their enemy to attack the one fighting for them.
The words of the guys who were killing them with their fingers just because they felt a little annoyed just then.
At that moment.
Crunch.
Hansoo smashed another Rebeloong's head and then glared at Kalipso in the distance.
At the same time.
Kwaddddddddkkkkdkdk.
The muscles on his entire body twisted and turned and made strange noises.
All the way from the tip of his toes, up his thigh and up to his abs.
And the moment the tension built up to the brim.
Booooom!
Hansoo flew into the air like a bolt of lightning.
Towards Kalipso in the distance.
A lot of scenes entered Hansoo's eyes.
Pektoril, staring at him expressionlessly, and Kalipso who was backing away.
The Rebeloongs gathering around that Kalipso.
And the adventurers who were confused as to what they should actually do.
Hansoo thought of the conversation he had with Eres in the past.
Eres added another sentence after that.
'Fucking Eres, what a bitch. It's a dark part of my history.'
Hansoo chuckled.
The past, a long time ago.
Decades and decades ago.
A story from when the Otherworld got entangled with the Abyss and the whole world was collapsing.
'Save these guys?'
Hansoo shook his head and then started to fall down onto the ground.
Towards Kalipso.
Booooom!
'Fuck!'
Kalipso, who was extremely tense and focused, lifted up his front teeth and the golden spear from the Akalachia he had killed, formed an X in front of him and blocked the attack of Hansoo.
Kwaaaadddduduk
The front teeth and the golden spear collided with the Forked Lightning and created a huge noise.
Kududududuk
"Ugh…"
Kalipso barely blocked the Forked Lightning from Hansoo and shouted towards the Rebeloongs around him.
"What the hell are you doing! Charge!"
The nearby Rebeloongs made fierce expressions from those words.
They were originally a race who moved in swarms.
As long as he was in here, only death awaited him.
"Roaaarrr!"
Tens of Rebeloongs charged towards Hansoo with their front teeths held up high.
Booom! Booom! Booom! Booom!
In the middle of the 4m tall black walls closing in.
Hansoo's Forked Lightning and fist, covered by the Thousand Soldiers Armor, flew around the air toward these Rebeloongs.
Crunch
Smash!
Hansoo smashed apart the tide of rats charging towards as he looked around.
Those who had been oppressed by the Higher Race for decades.
And those who still wouldn't be able to escape the shadows of the Higher Race.
He had no intentions to save these people.
Why should he help?
If one doesn't help oneself and doesn't struggle to survive then nobody would save them.
They can't fight because the Higher Races look like gods?
The thing he needed were humans who can even go against those gods.
'Save yourselves.'
Crunch!
Hansoo shouted out loudly after smashing Kalipso with his fist.
Booooom!
"Look at the ones in front of your eyes! Do they look like gods to you!?"
Whoooosh.
Everyone looked towards the Rebeloongs in front of their eyes from those words.
The giant rat people who had yet to gather around Kalipso because they had been spread out.
The people made vicious and enraged expressions towards the Rebeloongs but still flinched as the Rebeloongs stared back.
Expressions of rage.
The fear that had rooted deep within their bones made the adventurers flinch.
But at the same time.
They realized something.
'I've never…Seen such an expression before.'
Chen mumbled quietly.
Those guys always laughed at them and made fun of them.
So they had only seen the Higher Races laughing.
What an expression.
It looked like…
'They're feeling fear.'
As the expressions of the people turned strange.
Booooom!
A huge noise exploded out from the distance.
At the same time.
Puushuk!
Something rose high up into the skies.
The eyes that were glaring at the Rebeloongs moved towards the object.
A head of a familiar lifeform.
"Kalipso…"
The godlike existence was looking down at them.
With only its head.
The moment the loud sound of a collision and a strange quietness afterwards swept past the adventurers and the Rebeloongs.
The reality started to slowly enter the people's eyes.
Rebeloong's bodies which had been damaged by the fight against Akalachias and their mentality that had been smashed apart by Hansoo's massacre.
A Rebeloong kicked angrily after seeing the people mumbling and whispering to each other.
"These bastards are insane huh?!'
Booom!
"Kuuhuk!"
Two people's bones got smashed apart as they flew into the skies.
"No! Rebecca! Fucking hell!"
Angelina looked at a comrade from her area flying away with broken bones and then turned to glare at the Rebeloong with rage.
'This fucking rat.'
Actually, everyone else started to glare at the Rebeloong.
And the Rebeloong's body came into their eyes.
They could see the reality.
A giant damaged beast that only believed in its size and strength.
They didn't have any skills compared to the man who was fighting crazily in the distance and their movements were dull.
The people's expressions froze as another emotion replaced the fear in their eyes.
'This fucking rat.'
Angelina looked at the short sword in her hand.
The blade which she had swung against other humans.
She clenched the handle.
At the same time she looked towards the man who was causing a storm of a massacre in the distance.
A man who had fell from the skies onto this hell like Birdcage and had flipped everything upside down.
The one who was massacring the Rebeloongs was a human.
And they were humans as well.
Humans who had been blessed by runes and had been armed with Artifacts.
Then.
Boooom!
Angelina clenched the handle in her hands tightly as she exploded out from her spot.
Towards the Rebeloong who had kicked her comrade.
"You fucking rat! Let's go!"
The moment the leader of the 23rd area, Angelina, jumped in.
Booooom!
"Fucking bastards! Try killing us!"
"Fucking cunts!"
As if an ember had fallen onto a pile of gunpowder, the adventurers started to charge towards the Rebeloongs from all around.
With Angelina as the start, everyone surrounding the Rebeloongs started to gather in like hails and slashed away at the Rebeloong.
Like iron dust flying towards a magnet.
"Kyaaaaaak! Damned bugs!"
The Rebeloongs flinched but then started to swing their front teeth.
Soon a giant collision between the humans and the Rebeloongs occurred.
Boooom!
Boom!
Kuuududuk!
The sounds of skin being ripped and bones breaking filled the air and rang throughout the ground.
Sounds of humans being smashed apart and flying away.
But the humans charged towards the Rebeloongs even more viciously.
As if they were trying to relieve all the enmity and pain they had felt until now.
"Kuuhuk!"
"Fuck!"
The roars of confusion and pain started to ring out from the Rebeloongs due to the attacks of the adventurers.
There were simply too many.
The humans numbered at least hundreds of times more than them.
"Uaaaaa!"
"Fucking bastard! Die!"
Everyone climbed up and slashed down.
If they didn't have weapons then they used their body weight to drag them down as the people below cut through the skin and stabbed their muscles.
'Oh my god…'
The Rebeloong's 2nd in command, Kallum, was shocked at this scene.
There was a maniac in the middle causing a massacre and terrifying bugs were charging towards them from all around.
'Is this a dream.'
Kallum shook his head and then focused on the reality.
Kallum shouted towards the leader of the Akalachias, Pektoril, in the distance.
"Pektoril! Help us! We need to combine our forces!"
"Hmmm."
Pektoril just shrugged his shoulders at those words.
Actually the Akalachias were feeling quite laid back.
Though the humans were going crazy, their targets were focused on the Rebeloongs who were large in number and were still quite strong.
They wouldn't die right away just because a few people charged in.
Kallum clenched his teeth at Pektoril's attitude and then shouted out again.
"There's a word you like right?! Repay your debts! Have you forgotten that you have escaped the fate of the Sage's experiments thanks to our ancestors? Have you forgotten that us the Rebeloongs had planned it all out?"
"…"
Pektoril stopped.
Kallum shouted towards Pektoril again.
"Wasn't the reason why we left behind his giant fucking research lab because we didn't want to forget about those times! Do you want to go back to those days? Help us! And kill these bastards!"
A story from hundreds of years ago.
A dark history.
Pektoril's expression turned grim from those words.
Reincarnator – Chapter 196 : Experiment (1)
The past.
The Sages made a long term plan.
A very long term plan.
But they were lacking in some aspects to do that.
So they experimented.
Familiar creatures.
Monkeys, parrots, dogs and mice.
And…
............
Pektoril pondered for a moment after thinking about the research labs but then shook his head.
'Get out while the rats are being attacked. There's no need to be swept up by this as well.'
The humans were so vicious right now, even they will get tried and fall over if they fight against them.
But there wasn't a need to fight.
They just needed to hold on until the mana came back to this place.
And Pektoril knew a place that could get him out of this situation and buy him time.
Since he knew how this place was structured.
'Is that guy over there as well?'
Pektoril frowned as he thought of the Arukon's king, Dakemeia.
Since he wasn't showing his face in this chaos, it was likely that he was there already.
Which means he himself needed to save his forces even more.
Since he didn't know what would happen once he got there.
'Get out.'
The moment he decided to move.
Whoooosh!
Pektoril shook the golden spear he was holding and swung it around.
"Huuuk!"
"Kuhuk!"
Even though they were both high races, the Akalachias were dimensions apart from the Rebeloongs.
The humans who were in the trajectory of the golden spear got swept away.
At the same time the golden feathers on Pektoril's body trembled.
Chrrrrrrng!
As Pektoril's feathers rang out and the Akalachias who were fighting nearby with their golden spears heard this, they all flinched.
The special communication method of Akalachias.
And the meaning behind it was clear.
Retreat.
The expressions of the Akalachias stiffened up but a sound of confirmation rang throughout.
Soon.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Pektoril judged that everyone understood his intentions as he covered his entire body tightly with the feathers and started to run towards a certain location within the Birdcage.
And countless Akalachias started to charge through the humans and followed behind Pektoril.
"Fuck! Stop them!"
"How the hell do we do that?! Ugh!"
Boooom!
Crunch!
A few of them tried to stop the Akalachias but the 10m tall beasts were much larger than the 4m tall Rebeloongs.
Like foxes being kicked away by an elephant, the Akalachias kicked away the humans and started to follow Pektoril towards an unknown destination.
And the humans pondered for a moment and then started to focus on the remaining Rebeloongs.
Since there was no need to increase the amount of their opponents when dealing with the Rebeloongs was hard enough.
Well, instead of the Akalachias who weren't really concerned with playing around with them usually, the Rebeloongs who enjoyed killing and playing with them made their rage boiled much more.
"Die! Fucking bastards!"
"Uaaaaa"
The humans charged towards the Rebeloongs like swarms of ants.
The Rebeloongs tried to retaliate but they had already lost their leader and their momentum had been smashed apart already.
The manaless Rebeloongs who had been injured from the fight against the Akalachias started to get buried under the humans one by one and died off.
And Kallum shouted out in despair and rage after watching this scene.
"Pektooorrrriiiill! Akalachia! You damned bastard!"
He was not someone who should be dying here.
There were hundreds of thousands of his comrades on the outside.
And he belonged in the top echelon of his entire race.
Kallum's rage filled shout rang towards the Akalachias and Pektoril.
"You will guys will also…"
But Kallum couldn't finish his words.
Paaagagagak
Since Hansoo's right hand charged in and crunched Kallum's neck.
"Uaaghh…."
As Kallum slowly died.
Paaduududuk.
Hansoo looked towards Pektoril who had started running away.
'He's leaving huh.'
Hansoo looked around.
The people were fighting well.
Like an ember falling in a gunpowder storage.
Even if he disappeared these guys would able to win against the Rebeloongs easily.
Since he had already killed everyone who had the power to lead them anyway.
The one whom he had just killed was the last.
The Rebeloongs couldn't group up after losing their leaders as they were being swept away all over the battlefield.
Since this place had almost ended, it was now time for him to do his job.
Whooosh
Hansoo jumped up into the skies and followed Pektoril who was running away in the distance.
Towards his guide.
............
Booooom!
Pektoril stood in front of a giant structure after arriving at the corner of the Birdcage.
And the Akalachias looked at Pektoril with confused expressions.
"O Pektoril. Why have we come here…?"
Though they had followed his lead, the place they had arrived was too weird.
This place was where they put their trash.
An awful odor radiated from the giant structure in front of their eyes and there were mountains of rubbish and garbage piled up around.
This was a place where they threw away the trash and the corpses of the bugs that were created from the Birdcage.
Even the bugs hated coming to this place so the ones who had the worst achievements in the Birdcage were specifically sent to this place.
Of course the Higher Races hated coming near this place as well.
It was obvious.
Since it was disgusting.
So much that the punishment for scoring the least in the war game was patrolling this place for a week.
As the Akalachias frowned with the location that everyone in the Birdcage hated visiting in front of their eyes.
Booom! Boom!
Pektoril ignored the trash dirtying his spear and golden feathers as he started to dig towards the center of this giant place.
And the Akalachias freaked out as they saw this.
"O Pektoril! What are…"
"Our feathers and spears are getting dirty!"
Maybe it was because they were birds originally but they cared extremely about keeping their feathers clean.
Since their beautiful golden feathers were like their pride.
Of course they cared deeply for their feathers and kept their weapons and armors clean as well.
And this was why they hated to kill humans.
Since they didn't like their blood and flesh dirtying them.
But Pektoril, who usually reminded them to keep their majesticness, was digging into the trashfield.
And Pektoril shouted towards them as well.
"You guys hurry up and clean as well! We don't have much time."
"…"
Everyone frowned at these words.
But these were the words of their leader Pektoril.
The Akalachias swung their spears and swords as they started to dig apart the mountain of trash in front of them.
Booom! Booooom!
The mountain of trash was giant but the ones moving the mountain away were 10m tall giants as well.
Everytime the spears and swords swung part the garbage blew apart like bombs in all directions.
"Ugh…."
"Kuhuk."
Of course they got dirty in the process.
The Akalachias freaked out as they saw their spears and feathers having dirtied by the garbage and other waste.
Pektoril shook his head as he watched these guys who were making extremely discontent expressions.
'They're still brats.'
They were big but their attitudes were screwed up.
For them to only chased around shiny and beautiful things.
Being majestic was important but in order to win in a fight one needed to become more evil and dirtier than your opponents.
This was the reason why they, the Akalachias, could not beat the other two races despite being the strongest.
Disliking being dirty like the Rebeloongs or vicious like the Arukons was enough to stop them for a moment in the battlefield and this alone could determine death.
But Pektoril only frowned and didn't speak out.
'Whatever. There isn't a battlefield like that…'
Booom!
Booooooom!
Pektoril sighed as he started to dig out the entrance.
A short moment later.
Tonggg!
Pektoril's spear made a tong sound as it bounced off.
And the Akalachias were shocked as they saw this.
There was an object in this mountain of trash that could make the spear of Pektoril bounce off?
An object that strong wouldn't even be sent here in the first place.
They would just recycle it.
As the Akalachias made a confused expression.
'Found it.'
Kuuudududuk
Kududuk
Pektoril used his body and spear to clean around the area.
'Fuck. I'm starting to get annoyed.'
Pektoril suddenly vibrated his feathers as he shouted out.
"Are you guys going to stand still?"
"Oh…Understood!"
The Akalachias hurriedly ran over and started to clean away the trash.
While frowning.
And soon.
Kooouuuung
A giant tombstone appeared before their eyes.
Pektoril stared at the 10m tall tombstone which was made of an unknown metal and then started to push it.
Rumble
It was so heavy that Pektoril's might, which could even smash apart the barrier of the Satellite Fortress with just a swing of his spear, could barely make it move.
The Akalachias watching from the side joined in and then the tombstone finally started to move a bit faster.
Rumble
And then.
The tombstone was moved and a giant circular tunnel appeared below.
The Akalachias made confused expressions while looking at the dark tunnel.
"O Pektoril. This…"
They had heard many stories but they had never heard about this.
Pektoril frowned from those words but then willed himself as he spoke out.
He was going to just sit around here until the mana came back but since this had all happened, telling these guys wouldn't hurt.
About the history that him and the other 1st Generation members had decided to hide.
"There's nothing bad about you guys hearing this. Come in first."
Pektoril finished speaking and he jumped down.
Whoooosh.
The Akalachias thought for a moment but then followed him as they jumped down.
Whoosh!
Whooooosh!
After the dark tunnel swallowed up tens of Akalachias.
Rumble
As if the giant tombstone was rewinding itself, it started to move back to its original position.
And as the tombstone was about to block the tunnel completely.
Whooooosh
A 2m tall black humanoid shaped thing jumped into the tunnel with a golden spear.
Then.
Boooom!
A tremendous vibration rang out as the giant tombstone blocked the entrance again and the trash mountains started to tremble from the vibration.
Rumble!
Soon.
The tombstone was buried under the avalanche of trash and garbage again and only the filth remained behind as if nothing had happened here.
.........…..
Rumble.
"Oh my… It seems somebody is coming in."
Metiron frowned as he sensed the secret area rumbling.
He had expected it but it was too early.
He needed to finish the job here before they got here.
'Anyways… How did Clementine even find out about this place?'
A circular door with a diameter of 500m.
Metiron entered the secret area of the secret area and then exclaimed out as he saw hundreds of thousands of glass containers in front of him.
Reincarnator – Chapter 197 : Experiment (2)
Kuoooooooo
Karioram, one of the Akalachias walking through the long tunnel, wondered for a bit and then spoke towards Pektoril.
"What is this place?"
They had enjoyed their time for quite a while above but they had never heard of a place like this before.
Light didn't come through but the tunnel was filled with the strange and intricate machinery similar to the insides of the Satellite Fortress.
And the Rebeloong's teeth marks and claw marks of the Akalachias and Arukons.
'There's no traces of weapons… This is not recent.'
Karioram mumbled quietly.
Their claws and bodies were strong but it wasn't comparable to their weapons.
Which meant that they didn't have anything else to use.
Traces of war where desperation could be felt from.
It was something that was hard to imagine since they were the Higher Race.
Karioram made a confused expression and mumbled quietly.
'Did the war against the Sages not proceed peacefully?'
The way Karioram had learnt their history.
That the four races had revolted against the Sages.
And they had used their powerful bodies against the Sages to kill them off.
But it seemed like that wasn't the case.
Pektoril frowned at Karioram's question and then spoke out.
"This was a place where we were experimented on in the past."
"…Pardon?"
Pektoril cut him off.
"Don't ask. Just look over here."
And Karioram cursed out loud as he saw where Pektoril was pointing towards.
"…Fuck."
Countless rooms were connected to the tunnel in front of them.
The countless rooms with transparent walls seemed to have been disconnected from power as they were dark but the Akalachia's enhanced vision allowed them to see through the darkness.
Bubble.
Glass containers filled with liquids.
In the 28 glass containers, there were numerous types of animals in there.
There was a monster-shaped one like the black leopards of the jungle as well as beasts which resembled gorillas.
Tens of these glass containers were in each room and in every container there were different animals in it surrounded by the strange liquid.
But there were a few glass containers that caught their eyes specifically.
'Parrot…'
Karioram freaked out as he saw the glass container.
A bird that was 10m large, had golden feathers and huge wings.
Of course this bird was completely different from the Akalachias.
They didn't have the thick arms or thighs, they didn't even have the pectoral muscles that resembled humans.
It looked exactly liked the birds that lived in the jungles.
They were much more different than the Akalachias who had a humanoid shape.
But Karioram couldn't stop staring.
When he was finally able to look away, other glass containers came into his view.
Monkey, mouse and dog.
These guys also looked much more different than the Arukons or Rebeloongs.
Karioram made a discontent expression as he looked at Pektoril.
"What the hell are these? Why aren't we breaking them and leaving them?"
Pektoril replied softly as he looked at Karioram who was growling in anger while pointing towards the glass containers.
"How could we, they're still our ancestors."
The animals who were in those containers were what they had come from.
Since only 4 animals who had passed the experiments out of the 1489 different kinds which lived in the jungle.
Only four of them had been able to withstand the mana furnace the Sages had within their bodies to create the pond which created the mana crystals, the
And it was impossible to do so with the original method so they had to go through a lot of bodily experiments and surgeries to become similar to the sages first.
And Karioram shouted out in rage at Pektoril's mumbles.
"…Are you saying we were mere experimental beasts?"
They had always been in awe about their majestic civilization and the Satellite Fortresses.
A power that even their powerful bodies could not have.
A single beam could twist rivers and turn mountains into lakes overnight, this kind of power left everyone in awe.
But at the same time this power was a symbol of their pride.
Since it proved that they were the victors.
The symbol of them winning against the Higher Races who used these Satellite Fortresses.
These were mere loots.
So shouldn't they have been existences standing even higher than the ones who created such things?
But for them to just be experiments.
'That… We are even lower than pets…'
It was a treatment worse than pets and bugs.
Pektoril chuckled towards Karioram.
"Let me ask you one thing. Do you think we beat the Sages with a normal method? The Sages who had the spear of wrath, Akion, and rode on Satellite Fortresses?"
"…"
"The Sages had technology that could erase the earth and split the heavens, do you think our muscles, golden spears and golden armors worked against them? Do you really think we can win against them in a fight with our strength?"
Karioram fell into silence.
It was all true.
No matter how many of them there were, no matter how they had ambushed them, it was logically impossible for them to win against the people with such technology.
A single Satellite Fortress was enough to erase tens of thousands of them.
Even if they could fly up in the skies or a sixth sense or destruction beams, they were mere fireflies against a lamp.
And even more so if their strength was something the Sages had given them in the first place.
"Then how did we win? Aren't we the ones standing on our two legs in the end?"
Pektoril mumbled as he looked at Karioram who was on the verge of tears with anger.
"Well. We were lucky."
'Very fucking lucky.'
Pektoril thought of the days when he first gained a consciousness.
..............
Exactly 790 years ago.
Pektoril remembered this moment perfectly.
Since this was the moment Pektoril gained his consciousness and started to remember everything else upto this date.
So he had gained his consciousness.
Within the glass containers of the research labs and by the hands of the Sages.
And there were already other organisms which had been successful next to him.
Mouse, wolf and monkey.
The beasts, whom still remembered of their days in the jungle, were walking around the research labs under the guidance of the Sages with humanoid bodies.
And after they got used to their new body and consciousness, they had been released to the current Birdcage and had been able to live.
Maybe it was to stop them from escaping but the Birdcage, which was made of a strange material, limited their flight, Rebeloong's communication abilities and the Arukon's sixth sense but he remembered freely roaming around this place.
And he remembered the conversations of the Sages who was observing him and the others.
Anyways, the Akalachias weren't really discontent from this lifestyle.
Though they went through a few experiments, it was pain they could handle with their powerful bodies and experimenting around with their the newly gained strength was exciting.
Pektoril, who had struggled for survival day by day in the jungle and longed for strength, a power like this and the ability to control mana was too good.
Days flew past extremely fast as he practiced controlling mana day by day and thought of things he couldn't when he had been living in the Jungle.
And he knew instinctively.
That no matter how strong they were, they would still get massacred themoment they go against the Sages.
They had been able to live with a clearer mind because they had become smarter.
They knew that they couldn't challenge the ones who had given them their strength.
Sometimes the memories of his time in the jungles swept by his head.
The giant metal mountain that blazed the mountains and the fields along with the sun-like energy that came out from those mountains, the Sages who controlled all of this.
Memories of running away from such Sages.
If the Sages were a mysterious fear when they had been living in the jungle then the sages were closer to gods now.
Of course the Rebeloongs and Arukons had different thoughts.
Strangely, the Sages were rougher with the Rebeloongs and the Arukons than with them, the Akalachias, and the race created from monkeys, the Makrons.
And the Rebeloongs, who were large in number and the weakest of them all, went through all sorts of experiments and suffering.
Of course the Akalachias and Makrons also felt bad while watching this.
Even though they weren't receiving such treatment, they were all the same.
Though the Rebeloongs grouped up and planned and constantly looked for an opportunity against the Sages, it was virtually an impossible feat.
Since a chance the Rebeloongs wanted would never occur in this place where hundreds of thousands of Sages went in turns to manage them.
But as the Rebeloongs and Arukons got tired and the Akalachias and Makrons trembled in fear.
A miraculous event occurred.
The Sages all disappeared.
All hundreds of thousands of them.
Only a few had been left behind.
..............
"Disappeared?"
Pektoril nodded at the words of the warrior, Karioram.
The hundreds of thousands of them had all disappeared.
And a few people were left behind to manage over their research labs and the four races.
Of course these guys weren't able to defend against the Rebeloongs who had prepared for so long.
The Rebeloongs, who were transferring intel against each other, persuaded the other three races and the three races, who were trembling in fear already, followed Rebeloong's words as they revolted and escaped the Birdcage.
And they had been able to win against the remaining small numbers of Sages with their tremendous numbers.
'…Of course we received a lot more damage because we fought in that maze place.'
Pektoril frowned as he thought of the past.
Only 500.
Hundreds of thousands of the Higher Races had died against 500 Sages.
And even this would've been impossible if the Satellite Fortresses were working.
Karioram made a wretched expression from Pektoril's words.
This was not a revolution or a glorious battle.
It was merely pets, who were trapped, escaping when the cage got loosened and biting apart their owner.
When the owner had been extremely ill with a disease.
Karioram suddenly asked Pektoril.
"Why did they disappear?"
If they were going to disappear then they all should've.
Why did the small number remain?
Pektoril shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know why. It was too sudden. There was no corpse but… We have no way of knowing. The ones who lived didn't speak either."
Karioram asked a final question towards Pektoril then.
"Then why did we leave these damned machineries intact? We should've destroyed them."
Pektoril pointed towards the front as he spoke.
"Because there's something important."
"What?"
"You'll figure it out after we get there."
But Pektoril suddenly stopped as he pointed towards the end of the tunnel.
'Smell of blood.'
Pektoril hurriedly approached the entrance and entered the area.
And could not speak from the scene.
'…Arukons.'
Countless corpses of Arukons.
And a giant wolf was lying against the wall of this giant area.
"Dakemeia…"
Pektoril exclaimed out heavily as he saw this.
The Arukon's king who had fought the most valiantly out of everyone when they escaped this place.
Pektoril frowned as he looked at Dakemeia lying on the ground with a dull expression.
Since large words were written on the wall behind where Dakemeia was lying.
[It's a present. I hope you treat it well.] 'It's that Metiron's handwriting. And what does he mean treat it well.'
Pektoril carefully approached Dakemeia and then made a confused expression after finding something glinting inside his mouth.
"This is…?"
Pektoril lifted up the extremely small black ring that was within Dakemeia's mouth.
...
'Found it.'
Hansoo, who had followed Pektoril in underground, went to a different room and found a small red orb as he mumbled.
And the small red orb in his hand started to vibrate toward the direction of its paired item, the Destruction Jade.
Reincarnator – Chapter 198 : Experiment (3)
Kuuugugugugooong.
Pektoril examined the small black ring in his hands and finally he could figure out what it was.
A sensation of his soul and mana being sucked into the object.
'….This is the Destruction jade huh.'
The weapon the small amount of Sages ran away with when they had been attacked and the weapon that hadn't showed itself for decades.
The Sages could not afford to activate this in the past.
Since they would've been massacred when their numbers were already low.
The problem was why Metiron had left this behind for him.
'Though it doesn't hurt to have it.'
Pektoril mumbled inwardly as he clutched the Destruction Jade tightly in his hands.
As long as he had this then his clan would become much more solid.
The Makrons, one of the four escaped races and who had the strongest body after them, had been annihilated by their collaboration.
The Arukon's king, Dakemeia, was laying on the ground with a dazed expression and the Rebeloongs had lost many of their important high ranking members in this place.
And if he obtained this Destruction Jade in such a situation?
'Oh my god, I'll be able to unite this place with my hands.'
Pektoril actually felt his heart thumping for the first time ever since he had escaped this place countless years ago.
The sole king, a title that nobody had attained since the Karmen the king of the Sages.
The leader who would have hundreds of Satellite Fortress under his command.
It would be possible with this Destruction jade.
He would be able to annihilate the two other remaining races.
'No, there wouldn't be a need to annihilate them.'
Pektoril hummed a tune.
There was no need to annihilate them as long as he got their Satellite Fortresses.
He could just leave them beneath his feet like how the Sages had done in the past and command them.
He could use the Rebeloongs, who were high in number, as slaves and use the Arukons as soldiers since their individual prowess was quite formidable.
'Would the Makrons be around loyalty then? Anyways, it's time to end this all I guess.'
Pektoril laughed as he poured power into the Destruction Jade.
At that moment.
Rumble.
The Destruction Jade, which had been sucking in all the mana, started to aggressively tremble.
At the same time.
Rumble.
The mana pool within their bodies started to create the mana crystals again.
"Haha!"
"Hoo…"
The nearby Akalachias exclaimed out in glee.
The feeling of highly concentrated mana melting around their body and turning into barriers.
Kwaaaduduk
'It's all over now.'
Pektoril smiled as he felt the Satellite Fortress's barrier surrounding his body.
......…..
"Fuck….."
Kwadudududuk.
Karhal cursed out loud after sensing the mana rising up from his body after having smashed an arrow into the head of the final Rebeloong left alive.
He felt power overflowing through his entire body but it did not feel good at all.
Since there was only one thing this enormous amount of mana told him.
'It's all over now.'
Karhal sighed out loud as he thought of the impending doom of the Satellite Fortresses.
............….
'Let's just take it slow.'
Pektoril laughed.
There was no need to rush anymore.
He just needed to borrow the strength of the Satellite Fortress to erase everyone.
At that moment.
'…Mmm?'
Something came into Pektoril's view after his sight had become re-enhanced by the mana.
A circular door below his feet.
It was closed like it had usually been.
But something was different.
'…The dust is gone.'
The dust that had gathered over the giant circular door had disappeared.
As if it had been swept away by something.
Pektoril then finally realized something.
'Did they open this?'
Pektoril made a dumbfounded expression.
Actually this was one of the reasons why they wanted to leave this place intact.
The giant circular door that they had found while searching this entire place after they wiped away the Sages.
They didn't know what the space below was for but this giant door didn't move even with their tremendous strength.
They tried to create a hole using the Akion but that was fruitless as well.
They couldn't figure out what this giant hidden storage below this mysterious door was for but it wouldn't move no matter what.
Actually the real reason why they hadn't destroyed this entire structure was because it felt wrong.
They could've destroyed it with the combined efforts of all the Satellite Fortresses but a strong sensation told them that they shouldn't
The 1st Generation members of the four races, including the Makrons, thought that there may be something incredibly precious in here so they had a meeting about it.
And they decided to keep this place a secret temporarily and watch over each other so they don't do anything stupid.
Of course the three races felt danger after the Markons disappeared and tried to open this door again but everytime they tried it ended in failure.
In conclusion, this door and the mysterious space below was left as an unresolved problem.
But for this door to have opened.
Then Pektoril made a shocked expression.
'…Did that Metiron guy?'
He was curious as to why he had left behind the Destruction Jade but he was slowly understanding the reason behind it.
The door that had opened.
And the Destruction Jade that had been left behind.
If he had achieved everything he needed to with the Destruction Jade?
And the Destruction Jade was the key to opening this door?
'Fuck. Did that guy already take everything in this place!'
Pektoril touched the small object in his hand.
And suddenly.
Clang
Rumble
Sounds of something fitting into place and locking on was heard as the giant door started to activate.
This was the moment he had waited for, the moment in which the door of secret opened up.
The key to this door was the Destruction Jade like how Pektoril had expected but what filled his mind wasn't anticipation but nervousness.
'Hurry. Hurry and open.'
He had to check the insides.
And if it was empty he needed to hurry and chase them.
Chase Metiron and the bugs.
'No matter what's in here… It rightfully belongs to us. How dare he try to take it!'
Kiiiririririk
Kuuuugugugooong
As Pektoril was going insane while glaring at the opening door.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Sounds of something stomping towards him could be heard.
And Pektoril, with his mana enhanced hearing, could figure out the identity of that sound instantly.
"Haha. A hero who has massacred the Rebeloongs. But isn't following us all the way here a bit too brave?"
Karioram, the warrior standing next to Pektoril, spoke out.
Of course the scene this guy had shown them was amazing.
If they didn't have mana then even they, who were far stronger than the Rebeloongs, wouldn't be able to handle this guy either.
The reason why they had ran away in the beginning was because they wouldn't necessarily be able to win if the humans attacked them.
'But the situation is much different now.'
Karioram tapped the blue barrier around his feathers as he smiled.
Their mana had returned and this guy was alone.
Hansoo stared at Karioram and the other Akalachias and then clenched the Red Jade in his hand tightly.
'Red Jade.'
Hansoo mumbled as he looked at the red colored jade in his hand that had the same form as the Destruction Jade and was only different in color.
It wasn't even hidden that well.
As if they had hidden it in a hurry, this Red Jade was shoved into an air vent in the corner of a research lab.
If the bodies of the Higher Races were similar to that of humans then it would've been found already.
As the Akalachias were frowning at the red jade in Hansoo's hands.
Hansoo poured mana into the complementary object, the Red Jade, in his hands.
Then.
Kiiiiiiiiiiiing!
The Akalachias started to back off as they remembered the effects of the Destruction Jade.
Since they were afraid of their mana, which they had just barely regained, disappearing again.
But Hansoo spoke towards them as he saw their movement.
"Don't worry. Your mana will remain intact."
"…?"
"This will be the final words you hear so remember it."
"What…."
As Pektoril was about to retort.
Kiiiiiiing
The red light that came out from the Red Jade filled the eyes of the Akalachias.
At that moment a change occurred.
"Ugh…What the…Arrrggh!"
"Kyaaaak!"
"Kiiek!"
The bright eyes of the Akalachias turned hazy.
And their mental capabilities to think and judge in their heads disappeared as thoughts of violence and murder replaced them.
Their primal instincts which have existed since when they had been in the Jungle.
The beasts of the jungle had finally been able to become a Higher Race after they had received countless surgeries and the mana from the Sages.
Of course the Sages had a way to reverse the effects.
The Destruction Jade suppressed their mana.
And the Red Jade… Got rid of their sanity.
"Roaaaarrr!"
"Kyaaaaak!"
The insane Akalachias started to scream out as they looked around.
And then.
Booooom!
Karioram smashed the fellow Akalachia next to him with the golden spear.
No, they weren't comrades anymore.
This was only possible when they were still sane.
Such a thing had long disappeared and the only thing that had remained was their instincts they had during their solitary days in the jungle.
The thing that came into their eyes was not comrades but rather competitors who had entered their territory and were even standing right next to them.
And soon.
"Kyaaaaak!"
"Kieeeek!"
Booom!
Boooooom! Boom!
The Akalachias started to smash and slash the others nearby.
Though they were covered by the mana barrier, their spears and swords were as well.
The 10m tall giant bodies soon turned into a mess of blood.
Pektoril was dumbfounded as he saw his underlings go insane and attacking each other as he shouted.
"What…You crazy bastards! Why are you doing this! Stop!"
But Pektoril's shout only stimulated the Akalachias further, it had no other effect.
"Kiiiieeeek!"
"Kyaaaak!"
The insane Akalachias couldn't remember Pektoril as they charged in and attacked him as well.
And Pektoril grinded his teeth as he watched these guys.
"You…You crazy fucking bastards!"
He couldn't just sit still and take their attacks.
Boooom!
Pektoril hurriedly swung his spear and attacked the ones charging towards him.
And Hansoo frowned as he looked at Pektoril who seemed to still be sane.
'I guess it doesn't work against the one who has the Destruction Jade.'
Maybe it was because it was made in pairs but the black light of the Destruction Jade was slowly pushing away the red light of the Red Jade and was protecting Pektoril.
'Anyways, I should take that away as well. It wouldn't be that hard.'
Hansoo muttered as he looked at Pektoril who had become a mess from fighting with others.
A tiny entity such as Hansoo wouldn't come into the eyes of the 10m giants while they battled.
As if Pektoril, who was acting different from others, was strange to them, the wild Akalachias were being even more aggressive towards Pektoril.
He just needed to wait until Pektoril became a complete mess and take the Destruction Jade from him.
At that moment.
Rumble.
The giant circular door that had been activating since a while before, started to slowly open.
And Pektoril, who had been mindlessly fighting back, felt glad.
'I need to buy time!'
He didn't know what that red jade was but it had no effect on him.
He would first just hide until the other members of his race killed each other off, come back up when the situation clears up and retrieve the red jade after killing the bug.
'You fucking bug. Just wait.'
Pektoril suppressed his rage while clenching his teeth and jumped into the door that had just started to open up.
Kiiiieeeeeek?
The Akalachias flinched for a moment as they saw Pektoril jump down but then soon ignored him and started to focus on each other.
It was more important to fight the ones in front of their eyes than focusing on the one who had left.
Boooom!
Pektoril first checked that nobody followed him after he landed tens of meters down below with a loud bang and sighed in relief.
'Phew…'
And as he realized that he had bought time, curiosity rose up.
'What… Could be in here?'
The precious objects that the Sages, who had the Satellite Fortresses, had hidden away so meticulously.
It would not be something common.
It would be much rarer and precious than the Satellite Fortresses.
'Metiron. If you have it then…You are dead.'
But Pektoril's expression turned strange as he looked around.
"What…The hell."
It was indeed something the Sages had risked their lives to save.
And it didn't seem like Metiron had taken it.
But Pektoril could not be happy.
"What the hell! Why are they here! What are you guys here!!!"
A giant space filled with hundreds of thousands of blue containers which were shining extremely brightly.
And Pektoril screamed out as he saw the Sages frozen asleep within blue containers one by one as if they were dead.
No Teaser for next chapter, gotta run to class
Reincarnator – Chapter 199 : The Plan (1)
"What the…Why are these guys here."
Pektoril made an expression of despair while looking around.
He had always been curious even after winning.
As to where the Sages, who had ruled over the world, had gone to.
They had even left behind their advanced technology and powerful Satellite Fortresses behind.
Except a few.
This was why he and the others always felt a bit off even after the victory.
Since they, who wouldn't have been able to win normally, had won because of an abnormal reason.
And because of this they continuously followed the traces of the Sages.
Since they might be in danger as well if the Sages had left because this world had an issue.
The Sages in their heads were an existence like that.
God-like existences who didn't act without a reason and always succeeded if they had a goal.
They were afraid as to when the Sages would come back so they continuously chased after their path but for them to have been this close to them.
'This was why the ones who survived didn't speak.'
Pektoril mumbled as he thought of the small amount of Sages whom they had interrogated in order to find out what happened to the rest.
This was why those guys hadn't spoken.
Since these guys were the survivor's family and comrades.
They were probably afraid of the fact that if the Higher Races knew that the Sages were this close then they would do anything they needed to in order to find and destroy this place.
'But why are these guys in hibernation… Was there an epidemic? There weren't any traces of such things on the survivors back then.'
Pektoril made a confused expression while walking through the giant room where hundreds of thousands of people were asleep as if they were dead.
This wasn't the only thing he was curious about.
Since he needed to figure out what Metiron had done after he entered this place.
He might've escaped with something incredibly precious.
At that moment something was caught in Pektoril's eyes.
A gem that was shining bright red.
At the end of the collider where hundreds of thousands of containers were laid on, a bright gem was embedded on the wall.
'What is that?'
The size of the gem was small but the size of the machine that the gem was embedded in was actually very big.
As if it was devouring the light coming out from the bright gem, the complex circuits that extended away from the gem as the center were sending the bright light towards the hundreds of thousands of containers where the Sages were hibernating in.
Like an energy of life that was supporting the ones who had fallen into slumber.
The moment Pektoril started to head towards the gem with a curious expression.
Booooom!
A loud sound was heard behind him.
'….?'
Pektoril turned around to see if his comrades had followed him but a smirk appeared on his face instead.
Pektoril spoke towards the human who has jumped down.
"How resilient. For what do you struggle this much for?"
This guy was dead anyway.
The story might've been different if the Destruction Jade was still activated but as long as the jade was in his hands and it stopped working, this puny human wouldn't be able to do anything to him who had the protection of the Satellite Fortress.
'Well, maybe not…'
Pektoril frowned as he looked at the tremendous amount of mana flowing through the guy in the distance.
Something with that much battle strength, that much mana and that much power to generate such a force was not something that could be ignored.
It might've been different for others but for the Akalachias, who often hunted the humans in order to keep their battle instincts sharp, knew.
That the thing making that guy being hard to deal with was not his physical abilities but a trick with a skill.
And since someone of his caliber wouldn't have some random skill, it would actually be quite threatening.
'Well. I'll still win anyway.'
It was good.
Since it would've become much more tiring if that guy ran away with the Red Jade.
'I shall kill you here.'
The moment Pektoril made up this decision.
Booooom!
Hansoo flew across the distance and closed in on Pektoril.
Whoooosh!
A giant spear that was over 10m long and shining brightly flew towards Hansoo.
At that moment.
Boooom!
The golden spear in Hansoo's hand, the Forked Lightning, and Pektoril's spear clashed with each other as the room they were in trembled from the aftershock.
But the result was clear.
Booooom!
Hansoo's body couldn't withstand the tremendous amount of force behind the giant spear and was flung into the air.
Even before the force of the two sides, this was actually a difference in mass.
Even the tip of Pektoril's spearhead was heavier than Hansoo.
Pektoril, who had smashed away Hansoo with a mass hundreds of times heavier, frowned as he felt the tingling sensation on the tip of his fingers.
Hansoo being flung away was quite normal but the amount of force he felt in his fingers was too underwhelming.
This was too weak for Hansoo.
'Did he fling his body backwards or something.'
Chwaaaak!
Hansoo, who had been flung into the air, looked at his cracked armor, the Thousand Soldiers Armor.
Despite having eaten the spear of a dead Akalachia on the way and having been protected by Hansoo's Demonic Dragon's Reinforcement it still received quite a large amount of damage.
It was a destructive force that came from strength and mass combined.
Booooom!
Pektoril's attacks, which didn't seem like it wanted to give any break to Hansoo, had a qualitative differences from the Rebeloongs or other Akalachias who focused on brute strength.
Hansoo judged that the golden spear would be hard to dodge from its trajectory as he chucked the Forked Lighting as the same time he took on Pektoril's spear with his body.
Kwadududuk!
The pillar-like spear that was surrounded by the mana barrier from the Satellite Fortress cut through Hansoo's Demonic Dragon's Reinforcement as it smashed onto Hansoo's Thousand Soldeirs Armor and Dragon Essence Blade.
At the same time.
Crunch!
The Forked Lightning that shot out from Hansoo's hand assaulted the area near Pektoril's heart.
Kudududuk
The Forked Lightning, which had the mana nullification applied on it, penetrated through the mana barrier around Pektoril and dug into his golden feathers.
As it had penetrated through the Judge's armor in the past.
Sway.
'Hmm.'
Pektoril frowned as he felt the strange mana digging into his body and disrupting his five senses.
But if he was going to get dealt with with just this much then it would've been better for him to just commit suicide.
'And…I've gone through things like this plenty of times when I was being experimented on by the Sages in the past!'
Booooom!
Pektoril spun his foot around, stomped down onto the ground with it and then swung his spear in a wide arc.
Whoooosh!
The 5m large Judge and Pektoril in front of Hansoo's eyes were vastly different in size.
The 10m spear being swung was more than enough to prevent him from getting near Pektoril.
Crunch! Crunch! Clang!
Tens of the glass containers got destroyed by the swing of the spear.
The bodies of the Sages that had been protected by the blue light had been swept by the afters wing and had been turned into meat pastes.
A very tragic death after having been carefully protected for hundreds of years.
Hansoo, who had been charging in, suddenly backed off as he mumbled.
'So, he lived for hundreds of years huh.'
Pektoril had only swung his spear once, quickly adapted to the sudden changes of his senses and recovered himself.
He was different from the others from before.
Someone who had lived in the jungle and had constantly polished and sharpened themselves after their fight with the Sages.
Pektoril laughed out loud towards Hansoo.
"Hahahaha! Don't you feel sad? Aren't these the ones who have given you the power?"
He was understanding that guy's identity bit by bit.
He knew too much for a bug.
That guy had definitely received some legacy or inheritance from the Sages who had ran away.
Pektoril's feathers rang as he looked at the Red Jade in his hands.
'You… Don't have the rights to use that. Only us, the Higher Races, have the right to.'
Pektoril then looked around his surroundings with his somewhat adapted vision.
Corpses which had been smashed apart into meat pastes.
'Keheh. Kehehehehehe.'
This stimulated the sadistic nature deep within Pektoril's mind.
The fact that the Sages had disappeared without reason had always pressured him.
But look at this!
For them to have been here all along living the life of frozen foods.
Tens of Sages, whom could threaten his entire race with only 500 of them, had been killed by his single swing.
'Isn't this a bit too sad for someone who wielded such a tremendous amount of power?! Haha!'
Pektoril smiled.
Even if one had a tremendous amount of mana and technology, there was a limit to the weak bodies.
Just like the Akion.
A vastly different amount of strength was shown because they were using it and not the Sages.
'This is just the beginning.'
Pektoril mumbled in happiness from his vision of the future.
If this world got united under his feet then there wouldn't be useless fights and struggles anymore.
The Higher Races who had powerful bodies would be able to use the Sage's technologies more efficiently.
They wouldn't be using the leftover technology of the Sages but improve it and create a new civilization for themselves.
Pektoril smiled as he looked at the ring in his hand and then put it back on his hand.
"You probably want this but…Keke. It seems you don't have the powers to take it from me. It seems like a set pair anyway, how about giving it to me now? I'll let you live at elast."
Pektoril's words weren't empty words actually.
He was willing to let the bug live since today was a historically celebratory date.
Though he would have to live as his personal pet inside the Birdcage for all eternity.
'And…I will slowly figure out why the Sages have decided to go into cryo-sleep in his location.'
He wanted to ask the bug but it seemed like he didn't know either.
Which meant that there was nothing else he was curious about.
"Sure"
"What?"
Pektoril flinched at the unexpected answer.
Though he had thrown the words at him, he had never expected Hansoo to agree so he was actually preparing to smash him apart.
But for such a reply to come back.
The moment Pektoril flinched.
Kuurururuk
Something started to intensely grow out from where the Forked Lightning had penetrated into.
Crunch
Kwadduk.
"What the…!"
Pektoril was shocked at the strange things growing all over his body and tying him down as he tried to snap them with brute force.
'Just this?!'
With his strength, this amount of sludge could easily be broken apart.
But unlike Pektoril's expectations, his body hadn't fully calibrated yet.
In the short moment where Pektoril stopped due to his muscles and nerves acting separately from each other, the Pandemic Blade which had eaten up Hansoo's entire mana pool grew and covered Pektoril's entire body.
The moment Pektoril's movements stopped completely from these two things.
"Catch it. Well."
Whooosh!
Hansoo chucked the Red Jade in his hand.
Towards the black jade in his hand, the Destruction jade.
"Arrrgh!"
Pektoril sensed something amiss and tried to move his hand away but the speed of the Red Jade Hansoo threw was like a beam of light.
The moment Pektoril tried to move, the Red Jade had already moved up to the Destruction jade.
Then
Clang!
Powerful tools which showed their true prowess when together but had to be split in two because of their tremendous power.
The Red Jade and the Destruction Jade smashed with each other with a clang and started to swirl and combine with each other.
While making a extremely ominous dark and bloody yin yang symbol.
............….
"Oh. Has it started."
Metiron, who had been running away, suddenly smiled.
Reincarnator – Chapter 200 : The Plan (2)
Booooooom!
A Single beam of laser from the Satellite Fortress smashed into the humongous metallic beast.
Rumble
The huge metallic beast, Junghwan, screamed out in pain while rolling all over the floor after being smashed by the beam.
And there were 4 Satellite Fortresses that had been destroyed and were rolling around the ground around him.
But even if he had felled 4 of them, it was still far too little.
Since there were still countless Satellite Fortresses chasing after him.
If both sides weren't on guard against each other so much then he would've been killed already.
But he could see the end.
Since his limit was approaching.
Physically and mentally.
'Fuck! When is it going to happen?!'
Jugnhwan, the giant metal wolf that was being turned into rags by the Satellite Fortresses, grinded his teeth.
Booooom!
Booom!
It wasn't just the Satellite Fortresses.
Countless wolves, birds and rats held onto Akions, spears of heavenly wrath, and were assaulting him while chasing him from the ground.
The Akion's attacks were weaker than those of the Satellite Fortress but they were still powerful.
And since hundreds of quick guys were attacking from where he couldn't see, it was actually harder to deal with than the Satellite Fortresses themselves.
Boooom!
'Fuck! From the side again!'
Junghwan swayed and fell down from the sudden assault that jumped out from somewhere in the forest.
Rumble.
'I guess I'm going to die now.'
As Junghwan as making a despair-stricken expression.
Boooooooooooom!
From the distance.
Something tremendous blowing apart could be felt.
'He succeeded!'
Junghwan, who had given up and was lying upon the ground, suddenly made a joyful expression.
Whoooosh!
A shockwave filled with a strange mix of red and black swept the surroundings from the Birdcage.
As if it was trying to swallow up the entire Zone.
Rumble.
The moment people got swept by the dark red shockwave.
"What the! What is this!"
"My mana!"
Shock filled voices were heard from below.
But this was just the beginning.
The huge shockwave even shook Junghwan's body which had already turned into a mess.
Paaat!
The Mana Crystal that was all over Junghwan's body disappeared as the liquid metal started to petrify itself.
The liquid metal had stopped working due to the lack of mana.
And Junghwan's soul, which had been overburdened and was blazing in pain, suddenly turned very comfortable.
Of course it wasn't good or anything.
'This is the end.'
Instead of blazing like before, it was cooling down at a rapid pace.
Since all the energy had frozen, Junghwan's consciousness that was acting from the energy from the mana and the liquid metal was calming down at a rapid face.
But Junghwan made a relaxed expression.
Since he knew he wasn't the only person becoming like this.
Kiiiiing!
The bright lights of the Satellite Fortresses that were approaching Junghwan slowly from the distance shut off as they fell.
Rumble.
Booobooboooom!
A gigantic metal castle falling down from hundreds of meters up in the skies was a marvel to watch.
Jugnhwan made a content expression as he saw tens of these Satellite Fortresses falling down.
This was the end.
'Well. Since I was going to die anyway…Please take care of the rest for me.'
As Junghwan released his consciousness, that he was dearly holding onto, and slowly shut down.
"Roaaaarr!"
"Kuaaaaak!"
"Kyaak!"
The ones that were assaulting him from below with the Akion started to go berserk.
The rats bit each other and the birds slashed away at the wolves with their talons.
Like beasts.
'What the…'
As Junghwan was shocked at the scene he hadn't heard about as his consciousness faded away.
Booooom!
A scene of hundreds of thousands of bright lights rising up into the skies could be seen during Junghwan's final moments.
................
"What…What the hell!"
Pektoril was shocked as he sensed the tremendous aura that exploded out from his hands erasing all of his mana and sanity.
A power that was nothing like anything from before.
He was holding on but he could sense his sanity quickly being erased.
Along with his mana.
Wooong…
The mana that was supplied by the Satellite Fortresses had long been cut off and the mana pool inside his body that was supplied by the mana crystal had stopped working as well.
Everything that had protected his body, everything that he had received from the Sages had slowly started to get erased.
'No…No! At this rate…'
"No! I don't want to go back to being a beast!"
Roaaarr!
Pektoril's roar rang throughout the secret room filled with machines and containers.
And as if Pektoril was trying to erase everything as a last ditch effort, he started to smash apart the containers around him.
Boooom!
Boom!
Hundreds of Sages died in an instant.
But this was all a futile effort.
His mana had long been frozen and he was quickly losing his sanity,
At that moment.
He suddenly felt a tremendous amount of hatred towards the person who had turned him this way.
"You fucking bastard! Roaarr!"
Pektoril, who had lost his sanity, roared out in rage and charged towards Hansoo.
Booom!
Pektoril's spear had become even more vicious as he slowly lost his sanity as it flew in to smash into Hansoo.
But Hansoo just backed away and dodged it.
'There's no reason to fight him.'
A beast on its final breath that still had some sanity left was the most dangerous.
And at the place Pektoril had just attacked, there was an even deeper scar upon the ground.
"You fucking rat! Come at me!"
As Hansoo backed off, Pektoril's consciousness disappeared completely and he was overcome by the visciousness that sprang up from the depths of his heart and started to swing his spear.
Booom!Boooom!
As the limiter in his brain that protected him disappeared, he swung his spear even harder.
Though his mana had disappeared, the power behind the attack was still formidable.
But what use was that.
It won't connect.
Hansoo wasn't kind enough to be hit by a spear that was being swung recklessly without any martial arts behind it.
Whoosh! Whooosh!
The spear continued to cut through the air and Pektoril made a despair stricken expression as he saw this.
'Damn…To go without even being able to kill that one thing.'
Even being enraged by him was becoming hard.
Pektoril looked at Hansoo in the distance in despair.
'Complete annihilation…Our entire race would be completely annihilated.'
They would lose the sanity and mana that made them the Higher Race and only have their bodies left.
Then would they be able to handle those bugs?
Pektoril frowned.
Of course they would still be powerful without their sanity and mana.
Since those bugs wouldn't be able to use mana while the Destruction Jade was active and his race still had a huge amount of numbers and were still very powerful.
But that was it.
They would slowly get hunted and killed off by those who were still sane.
While the Higher Races were fighting each other in insanity.
'Damn…Is this the end? Even after having escaped the experiment labs with all that effort? After having received all those experiments? We'll just die as beasts getting hunted down?'
Pektoril squeezed out the last bits of sanity and screamed out in unfairness.
"Grrr…Were we wrong? Was fighting to escape the experimental labs was so wrong? Grrr…"
As if his sanity was disappearing even after, a beast's growls started to come out from Pektoril's mouth.
Hansoo replied expressionlessly.
"Struggling to survive isn't a sin. But you should've stopped there."
The Higher Races had power.
Power to be magnanimous to humans.
Though they didn't have to do this, they should at least be wary when they use that strength to oppress others.
Wary of the day when they would get stabbed in the back after losing that power.
Since the ones being oppressed by them will continue to struggle.
Like how the Sages had been crushed by the Higher Races.
If these guys were like the Akarons from below and could live in harmony with them then Hansoo wouldn't have done all this.
But these guys have long crossed the line.
To the point where humans wouldn't be able to forgive them anymore.
"In the end, our race merely chose the same thing as you guys."
"Damn…Grrr…Grrr."
Pektoril made a despair stricken expression.
The bright future, the dream that he had almost grasped disappeared like sand in his hands.
No, even the authority and the strength he had was now gone.
All because of one guy.
Just one guy.
'Heh. For our entire race to fall because of one guy.'
But this thought didn't last long.
Since even that last remaining bit of sanity had been erased as well.
And soon.
"Grrrr…"
A beast's cry came out from Pektoril's mouth.
Drrrr.
The Destruction Jade fell from Pektoril's hands and rolled away.
And Hansoo picked up this dark red marble without a single expression.
'So far so good.'
Everything was quite similar up to this point.
Though Eres hadn't used the Red Jade before, according to the last thing he had left behind, using the Destruction Jade and the Red Jade together will cause all mana and sanity to disappear.
But there was something that bugged him.
'Would the Sages have written down everything?'
Eres hadn't told him about this.
The cryo-sleep setup of the Sages.
Since Eres would've told him if she knew, this meant that Eres didn't know about this system either.
'Maybe the Sages didn't leave behind any records in order to keep this place a secret…'
It was a possibility but it still bugged him.
At that moment.
The jewel that was shining brightly in the distance started to react to the Destruction Jade.
At the same time the hundreds of thousands of vats the Sages were in, which were connected to the jewel, started to rumble and shake.
And soon.
Whooosh!
Hundreds of thousands of bright blue marbles came out from the jewel.
Ooooooong!
And these marbles flew around the air for a bit and then all disappeared somewhere.
Some through the walls.
Some through the ceilings.
But Hansoo could tell where these marbles were heading towards.
Since he could see where one was going.
Whoosh.
One of the blue marbles entered Pektoril's head.
At the same time.
"Grrrrr… Grr…Gr."
Pektoril's growling calmed down.
At the same time the viciousness in his eyes disappeared as he came back to his senses.
"…"
Pektoril, who had stopped growling, slowly looked around.
HIs hands and feet.
And everything around him.
Hansoo looked at this scene and then pondered.
He couldn't react to the blue marbles because it had exploded out so suddenly but this was different.
'Should I kill him?'
But Hansoo shook his head as he looked at the eyes of Pektoril.
He was being very wary of Hansoo even whilst looking around the surroundings.
'Not easy huh.'
It would be impossible to kill him with a sudden attack at this rate.
It might actually just be better to converse with him now.
Since one thing was clear.
That this was not the Pektoril of the past.
The constant mumbles of Pektoril proved this.
"The hypothesis of being able to move in after the sanity and mana disappearing was correct… Blue Stone activated correctly as well but… Why now…"
Pektoril, who had been mumbling, slowly lifted his body up from the ground as if he had finished inspecting the surroundings.
Booom
Booobooom
Pektoril then stood up as he approached Hansoo and looked at him.
Well, more like the Destruction Jade in his hands.
...............
Clank. Clank.
"What the hell… Is that."
One of the adventurers who had been running away from the village made an expression of disbelief as he looked at the scene in the distance.
The Arukons, Rebeloongs and Akalchias who were fighting to the death were all gathering to one place.
The three Higher Races who were wary of each other even when they were still sane.
The adventurers frowned at this unbelievable scene.
Reincarnator – Chapter 201 : Transference (1)
The Sages were upset in the past.
At their extremely weak bodies that didn't fit their overflowing intelligence and mana.
Technology and mana could not fill up the massive hole created by a weak body.
Even when they tried to do something, their weak bodies held them down.
But during that time.
A genius even amongst the Sages had been born.
Karmen.
A glorious King who had created the plan to lift the Sages higher.
Someone who allowed them to have even bigger dreams.
...........
"Uwaaaaa! We won!"
The people who had arrived at the villages yelled in glee.
The Satellite Fortresses that were falling in the distance.
There was nothing else that proved their victory better than this.
'I wondered what the hell it was…'
Kulkin, a Hunter of the village, thought of the words spoken by those who had entered the village along with him and made a dumbfounded expression.
They were now truly free.
Since if those damned Satellite Fortresses didn't exist then sweeping away the Higher Races and gaining back their hope wouldn't be a dream anymore.
At that moment.
Boom! Boom!
'….?'
Kulkin and the other villagers looked towards the woods from the huge noises coming in from the depths of the forest.
And soon.
Shhhhh.
Around ten Higher Race members walked out from the woods.
The ones who had set up a formation and were pushing the giant metal wolf back before.
'…The Akalachia, Arukons and the Rebeloongs are together?'
While Kulkin was frowning from this strange scene.
Somebody cursed out loud from next to him.
"You ballsy bastards! Where the hell do you think this is!"
"Those guys aren't unkillable anymore! We can do it if we group up!"
The villagers reacted the moment they saw the Higher Races.
Then.
Whooosh!
Hundreds of rage filled projectiles few towards the Higher Race.
But in an instant.
Trtrtrtrnggg
The golden spear in the Akalachia's hand spun around like a windmill.
And the Rebeloongs and the Arukons behind also used their spears to deflect away the projectiles.
Tong! Titititing!
Hundreds of projectiles got destroyed and bounced off in mid air.
And everyone flinched as they saw this scene.
They had made too many assumptions.
Thinking about it again, those guys still had tremendous amounts of bodily strength.
Maybe if they had mana but in a situation like this where they also lost their skills, they weren't easy opponents at all.
While the people stopped.
From the mouth of the Akalachia in the very front, unexpected words came out.
"Calm down. Anyways, who are you guys? Are you our descendants? Why are you living in a cave like this?"
"What?"
For them to not know whom they have toyed around for so long.
The people stared at the Akalachia just in case it was some trick but the curiosity and confusion inside the eyes of the Akalachia didn't seem like lies.
'What the hell…'
The villagers fell into a confused state.
.........…
'How long has past? What happened?'
The general and royalty, Kel-Durin mumbled as he looked at his body and his surroundings.
'It seems like we've succeeded…'
Kel-Durin stared at the tiny race in front of his eyes.
Of course if he still had his original body, that man over where would be a bit larger than himself.
But since the transfer has been completed, the man looked way too small compared to himself.
'What is this guy. He doesn't seem like someone from our race.'
Kel-Durin felt the tremendous amount of power within his body and then made a confused expression as he watched the person in front of his eyes.
Though they looked similar, there was a lot of fundamental differences such as the bone structure.
And also he didn't have the mana pool that every Sage had in general.
'It seems something unexpected happened.'
Kel-Durin frowned as he looked at the broken containers.
Ssssk.
Kel-Durin then checked the machinery where the Blue-Stone was embedded in.
A transmitter that was built to migrate hundreds of thousands of souls at the same time for the move.
And as if it had used up all its power, the lights from various panels on it were getting faint but Kel-Durin was able to check the panels before they turned off.
He then exclaimed out in shock.
'790 years? 790 years have past?'
Something went wrong and that something went wrong horribly.
As Kel-Durin was frowning.
Boom!
Boobooom!
The Akalachias who were fighting up above came down to the secret room
And soon the secret room was filled with tens of giant Akalachias.
Though they had met each other again in completely different bodies, Kel-Durin was able to figure who was who out instantly.
"Kel-Durin"
"Kan-Kun, well done."
Kel-Durin frowned as he looked at Kan-Kun who was covered from head to toe in blood.
It seems they only activated the Red-Stone and fought each other.
Kan-Kun frowned at the pain and then asked the race standing on the ground.
"Who are you? And why do you have that in your hands?"
The Black-Stone and Red-Stone were items left behind for the small amount of managers to activate.
It was not something that this guy, whom he had never even seen or heard of, should have.
Kiiiiiing.
'And it's still active huh.'
Kan-Kun frowned as he sensed the dry mana within his body.
"Hand that over."
Whooosh
Kan-Kun crouched and then moved his hand towards the small midget.
The Red-Stone alone was fine but the Black-Stone that had combined with the Red-Stone was dangerous to them as well.
It was a tremendous artifact that suppressed their entire technology with just its existence.
They wouldn't even have made such a thing if they didn't have to for the move.
Though the plan seemed to have shifted a little but since the first stage, Soul Migration, has been completed they needed to get it back.
But Hansoo lifted his spear with his hand.
Clang!
"You see, stealing is a bad habit."
He didn't know how they were going to act.
He could not hand it over in such a case.
"That's originally ours you midget."
Kan-Kun spoke with a growl.
He was feeling pain and he didn't understand the situation yet.
He was already annoyed but somebody who he has never seen before was pointing a blade at him while holding onto a dangerous weapon.
Of course a rough growl came out of Kan-Kun's mouth.
He would've tried to save his body without mana in the past but everything was different now.
Since they had gained a new body along with new strength.
Courage that could support his rage rose up inside him.
And Hansoo spoke to these Sages.
"You want to have a go?"
"What?"
At those words the Akalachia standing in the very front ,Kan-Kun the rank 1 Sage, scoffed.
Though the little midget's body seemed quite strong, it was not even close to theirs.
What was causing him to be so arrogant?
Well, it wasn't that the Sages didn't like conversing.
But there was no need to do things the hard way then their strength was much higher than the other party.
'Suppress him and then take it.'
Boom! Boom!
The rank 1 Sages inside the Akalachia's body walked towards Hansoo.
At that moment.
Kkkkkkkkkngggg
A vibration that shook the entire room could be felt.
Something much different than their footsteps.
And Kan-Kun and Kel-Durin flinched at this quake.
'What…'
This was the vibration from the Monolith that shook the secret room moving.
And soon a loud shout was heard in the distance.
"Hey! Are you alright in there! We're coming in!"
At the same time with that shout, countless people coming in could be felt.
'…There's this many? What the hell happened while we were asleep…'
An earthquake that was transmitted through the long tunnel.
The Sages, who have obtained this new body that could sense this quake, frowned in nervousness.
............….
"There's been a lot of changes in the 800 years we were asleep huh."
Kel-Durin, the person in Akalachia's body, frowned as he sat in the hastily made barracks.
According to their original plan, they'd be busy testing out their new body but there was no time to do such a thing.
Since a tremendous amount of change had occurred after they woke up.
'At this rate…We need to alter the whole plan.'
Kel-Durin mumbled quietly.
Their plan was simple.
Leave their weak human bodies and move into a much more powerful body.
They had created new bodies because of this and had even created the Red-Stone and Black-Stone that temporarily froze their conscious and mana to reduce the risk as much as possible while they moved into their new bodies.
Since they found through experimenting that the chances of failure rose if they had their consciousness and mana.
So they created the three stones and fell asleep.
But for them to have been asleep for 800 years.
'And…The fact that the Makrons who were supposed to be rank 2 bodies were annihilated is a big deal.'
Kel-Durin frowned.
Rank 1, the Akalachias created for the royalty.
Rank 2, the Makrons created for the nobility
Rank 3, the Arukons created for warriors.
Rank 4, the Rebeloongs created for commoners.
The Makronss who were supposed to handle the middle stage had all been annihilated.
Due to the other three races while they were asleep.
'Even if we give them mana and a consciousness, they're still beasts huh. This is going to create problems in the next stage.'
And because they fought with each other, the already limited mana crystals had run out.
There was also another issue.
Kel-Durin clutched his head at the sounds he could hear coming in from outside.
'The body being developed has its downsides.'
The extremely developed body allowed him to hear everything.
But he could not ignore these noises.
Since it was not something he could ignore.
Kel-Durin spoke expressionlessly.
"Let's go out. It seems like we will need to speak with the other side for a bit."
"…Will it be okay? That midget race seems to be extremely aggressive."
Kan-Kun frowned.
It had been 3 days since they woke up.
There had been countless things that happened during that time.
And Kel-Durin made a tired smile at Kan-Kun.
"Well. That man seems to have things under control quite well. Let's trust in that."
It seems like while they were asleep, this so-called 'God' had played around a bit and their world seems to be used as a tunnel.
A bridge to the next world.
The entrance was the Kangri-Worm's area.
And the exit was at a location near the Silver Sea.
'What a tremendous change. Can we still… Complete it? Damn. If we took the Black-Stone back then… There wouldn't even be a need to ponder about such a thing like this.'
Kel-Durin thought of the Satellite Fortresses that didn't work as he walked out of his tent.
A giant basin.
His race, that had temporarily gathered here, could be seen.
Countless Akalachias, Arukons and Rebeloongs.
They all looked different and had different ranks, they were still a part of the same race.
And the other side of the basin.
Countless people had gathered.
All with a blade of some sort in their hands.
As he walked out, the sounds he had been hearing became even clearer.
Well, the enraged roars and shouts.
"Why are we leaving them be!"
"Fucking hell! Do you know how much we suffered because of them?"
"Kill them all!"
There was no need for both sides to be angry with each other in a fight or a war.
Since one side being angry was enough.
Kel-Durin clicked his tongue as he looked at the swarming humans looking at him with cold eyes.
Reincarnator – Chapter 202 : Transference (2)
The giant basin near the Birdcage, the Akran.
Hundreds of thousands of people had been gathered in the giant basin.
But this was just the beginning.
The people who were in the villages were gathering here constantly.
To the location which will become the new city of the humans.
Because it was at the center of the Green Road, it was the best place to be in terms of location and because there were a variety of beasts around this location it was also a great place to hunt.
The Satellite Fortresses that threatened the humans had disappeared and this land should've become the humans'.
Well, it what was supposed to happen.
"Damn…"
Kulkin, one of the adventurers who had gathered at the Akran along with others, grinded his teeth at the Higher Race he could see in the distance.
The humans had won.
The Satellite Fortresses had fallenfell due to unknown reasons and the Higher Races weren't invincible existences since there wasn't any mana.
Since a god who has fallen to the ground wasn't fit to be called a god anymore.
No, they had to kill them while they were on the ground.
This current situation was all because there was no mana.
Why were they just watching this situation?
'And even with such people like this.'
If they didn't have strength the story would be different but it wasn't like that they didn't have any strength.
Since the newcomers weren't like newbies at all.
They all had monstrous bodies, unfitting to be called humans like himself.
The ones who were here before were stronger right now because there was still a gap due to the runes but it wouldn't take long to catch up.
Since it wouldn't take that long to fill up their runes by hunting with such bodies.
'I don't know how he brought such guys here but if we fight alongside them… We might be able to win.'
Kulkin looked at the tremendous amount of forces behind him and made a sad expression.
'Morris… I need to avenge you…'
The image of his friend being ripped apart in front of his eyes was still vivid in his head.
Kulkin clenched his teeth as he remembered his friend's expression which was staring at him desperately until the end.
............…
"It's been a while Hansoo".
"Mmm."
Hansoo made a smile as he looked at the faces he hadn't seen in awhile.
It was nice seeing these faces after such a long time.
Enbi Arin, Sofia, Mihee and other familiar faces that he had left behind in the zone below could be seen.
The owner of the new Crown of Thorns and the second soul fragment, Gwanje, couldn't come up because he had to control the people below but the others had gotten Hansoo's signal through Gwanje and had come up.
And countless people had split up and were constructing the city.
The villages were now a dark part of their history.
They needed a new city befitting of this new zone.
Though they were only building one, they would build more as time went on.
'It wouldn't take long.'
Hansoo mumbled as he watched the process from afar.
Though they didn't have any tools it didn't matter.
Since their bodies were much more different.
Kwadudududuk!
Ududududuk!
Snapping trees and cutting rocks.
With strength that didn't seem like that of a human.
Even without mana, these people didn't lose out to the original Yellow Zone's people and actually were doing even better.
A tremendously powerful body.
This was all because of the Body Enhancement Surgery they received in the second zone.
These people didn't lose out to Hansoo in terms of their body.
There were tens of thousands of such people.
And Mihee, who had brought these people up, made a proud expression.
If this was the real world then she was at a level she couldn't even have imagined.
The amount of burden and responsibilities on her shoulders was much larger but seeing such powerful adventurers, she could feel her past struggles and hardships being washed away.
'I've seen Hansoo after so long as well. Anyways, it's so hard to see his damn face.'
Mihee looked at Hansoo with an upset expression.
She had imagined that they would always be together because they were with each other during the Tutorial.
But Hansoo was busy beyond her imagination.
To the point of being hard to chase him.
'Well, I didn't even think things would happen like this.'
Thinking of her college days of the past, she started to giggle.
And Hansoo laughed while looking at Mihee.
Though he had become a person who was quite unresponsive to most things while fighting in the Abyss, he was still human.
Since the hard work of the Yellow Zone had been completed well, he naturally felt good.
A rare smile appeared on Hansoo's usually expressionless face.
'It seems Karhal found his sibling.'
Hansoo looked at Ekidu and Karhal who started to walk towards this location after controlling the people.
Karhal, Ekidu and a few others were working hard to control the people of the Yellow Zone but Karhal looked as if such work was nothing and was continually smiling and laughing.
To the point of making Hansoo feel content as well.
'Let's work a bit harder. Everything's going well.'
Hansoo mumbled inwardly.
He just needed to continue like this.
If he continued like this and there weren't any more problems from now on then humanity would gain a tremendous amount of power and wouldn't get massacred once they entered the Abyss right away like they had in the past.
Which means he would be able to prevent people precious to him from dying off.
And him struggling and working a bit harder to achieve this would be fine.
Since he had struggled for 50 years already anyway.
Compared to his friends getting killed and ripped apart next to him, this was nothing.
Though bodily injuries healed, the memories inside one's head lasted.
Hansoo thought up to this point and refocused.
'Not yet.'
The Smile on Hansoo's face disappeared.
It wasn't time to drop his guard yet.
Though he had solved the problem, something unexpected happened.
Suppress the Higher Races, who have gone berserk, one by one.
A frontal clash would be hard but it wouldn't be hard to kill them off while they fought each other.
Then he would receive the method of creating the Mana Pool inside the human's bodies and perform the surgery on all humans.
But since the Sages had received the bodies of the Higher Races, things have become much more complex.
They were smart, rational and knew how to work together.
The Sages, who had been spread apart, understood the situation almost instantly even after sleeping for hundreds of years and had gathered into groups they had planned previously.
The people with Rebeloong's body conversed with each other and the Arukons surveyed the surroundings.
And the Akalachias stood above them all and controlled them.
If they fought then it would just be a huge disaster.
There were hundreds of thousands of Higher Races who could handle hundreds of humans per member.
Though they would win because the ones with Body Enhancement Surgeries had come with them as well but they would still gain a huge amount of casualties.
He hadn't raised them to lose them in a place like this.
At that moment.
A giant flag could be seen in the distance.
'It seems they want to speak now.'
Hansoo spoke while looking at the Akalachia who was awkwardly swinging a piece of cloth tied to a huge log tens of meters long.
"I'll be back. Take care of this place."
"Uh… Huh?"
Even before anybody could say anything, Hansoo quickly disappeared.
And the place where Hansoo left was then filled with awkwardness where people started to slowly speak one by one.
Since they would be together for a while anyway.
The mingling of the previous members and newcomers was important.
"Uh… Nice to meet you. I'm called Ekidu. Welcome to the Yellow Zone."
"…I'm Karhal. I hope things go well."
Karhal turned around and looked towards the location Hansoo had gone off to with a worried expression.
The job he was assigned was actually much more important than just control.
Though he was controlling them, their rage was slowly building up.
Since the pain and struggle they had gone through for over a decade wouldn't easily go away.
There was no way their rage would disappear just because the ones who had killed their friends and family and even themselves started to laugh and make strange noises.
Though they were barely suppressing their rage, it wouldn't be weird for it to explode at any moment.
'Anyways, does he have no sense of fear? To jump into the enemy territory alone.'
He pondered if he should follow Hansoo but shook his head.
There's nothing he'd be able to do anyway even if the situation blew up.
It was better to just stay here and do his job.
Karhal clenched his hands at his powerlessness as he looked towards the Higher Race's camp Hansoo went towards.
'Fucking bird heads. Just try touching him.'
Then there wouldn't be any controlling or anything.
He would just rile up the people behind him and attack first.
This was why he needed to control them even more now.
Before these people, who were roaring out in rage, caused something.
'Well, at least it's much more easier now since these guys are helping us.'
Karhal shook his head and then spoke towards the woman who had introduced herself as Mihee.
"At least your side is better than us right? You should've prepared a bit before coming up."
But Mihee shook her head at those words.
"It doesn't seem like there's much difference for us either."
"…?"
"We just have hundreds of thousands of people."
'And the power that suppressed them is now gone.'
Karhal nervously looked at the countless newcomers behind Mihee at those words.
..............
Boooom!
Hansoo flew in from afar and landed in front of the Akalachias.
Kel-Durin, the acting leader of the Sages, spoke towards Hansoo.
"Greetings. To make things easier we shall call you humans as you have told us. Are you the king of those humans?"
Hansoo shook his head.
"We don't really have such a system."
"Well. After hearing your story, those things weren't something a king would do."
Kel-Durin, who had been busily gathering information, nodded.
A king reigned from the back and stood above the others.
But the man in front of his eyes was acting at the exact opposite location of where a king should be.
He fought at the frontmost locations, the roughest and the lowest places.
The most vicious and dangerous places.
There was a reason why this man was worthy of his respect.
'If it were the days back when we were Sages then I would've used him very well.'
Kel-Durin looked at the human in front of him with a regrettable expression.
A good king was important during times of peace but during times of war, the most important things were good generals and soldiers.
And the man in front of his eyes had more than enough qualifications.
If he had been born as a Sage, no even if he wasn't a sage, he would've risen to the highest point.
Up to the position of the Great General who stood next to the king.
Hansoo ignored the Sage's words and then spoke expressionlessly.
"Let's get to the main point. Let's talk about what we shall do from now on."
"…Yes, the introductions were a bit too long. Let's get to the point indeed. The thing you want from us the Mana Pool Surgery right?"
Hansoo nodded at those words.
Since it was the final objective he needed to accomplish in this world.
Something that allowed them to use mana non-stop like monsters all day.
Mana pool.
Once it was planted inside the human's bodies, then they would be able to have a much larger amount of mana and gain the upper hand.
It was a bit too much to have as much mana as a Satellite Fortress but they would be able to utilize a much larger amount of mana, at least a few times more.
Kel-Durin shrugged his shoulders at Hansoo's words.
"Not hard. There's actually a system to plant the Mana Pool inside the body on every Satellite Fortress. Though there's a lot of you…About three of them would be able to change your entire race. It would be even faster if we don't use the Satellite Fortresses for anything else."
Hansoo made a surprised expression.
Because it was faster than he had expected.
"It seems it's quite simple."
"It's because we invested a lot of time and resources in order to shorten the surgery time after we invented it."
Hansoo then spoke the next thing on his mind while staring at Kel-Durin.
"What do you want from now on?"
There was no way he would say such things with no reason.
He was doing his because there was something he wanted.
Kel-Durin smiled towards Hansoo.
"There's something you must do for our plan. If you do this for us then we will provide you with the Satellite Fortresses and even tell you the Mana Pool Surgery method. If you accept our offer then we would become allies, though temporary."
Hansoo nodded and stared at Kel-Durin.
Telling him to hurry and speak.
But the thing that came out of Kel-Durin's mouth was not something Hansoo had to do but more information.
