Living in a World That Is Destined for Destruction

＜ Episode 10 ＞

thud!

As the last member of the gang collapsed on the floor, John appeared from one side of the vacant lot.

“Time is up. It’s a slum thing, so I can’t help it.”

Gulak’s face hardened in horror at the calm voice that could not be thought of as someone who had killed nine enhanced cyborgs.

Gulak’s state of mind was incomprehensibly complex.

It’s funny to argue about loyalty in the slums, but at least the men present here were the ones Gulak gave his heart and relied on, and they were the ones who would have believed that if he became the king of the slums, they would be by his side.

‘···By the way!’

All of his loyal subordinates died looking at him with resentful eyes.

The optics that roll around the slums cannot be perfect, so I thought that if I just dragged out a way, there would be a way.

In a slum where the boss has everything, it was natural for Gulak to be treated by a wizard, and no one had pointed it out until now, but every single word John spat out became poison and subtly divided them.

Even if they unite as one, they have distrust in the board, which is difficult to fight against, so their movements naturally change, and they are so easily knocked down by John’s bullets.

Kwajik.

After dropping the device the size of a person’s palm on the floor and crushing it with his foot, John opened his mouth.

“The world is not that easy. right?”

Chick.

He slung the shotgun over one shoulder, took a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth and lit it.

“Whoa.”

A little thick smoke, different from the white smoke, disappeared into the air, and John’s expression became a little languid.

“Me too. I was going to develop this ability and leave for a higher area, but why does this suddenly happen?”

John’s nerves, which had been sharp as a knife, calmed down, and the muscle pain that had been gripping his whole body relaxed a little.

“They didn’t have any luck with each other. Still, I wanted an amicable solution. There is no need to cause a dispute in the yard of getting out of the slums.”

Due to the intuitive nature of this ability, John understood and applied his ability in the realm of instinct, but the time was too short.

It was a situation where he had to overdo it, so John had no choice but to bring out his ability to the limit, and the recoil hit his whole body.

John went on as he sipped on the stimulant, which he wouldn’t touch unless it was a really urgent moment.

“ruler. then.”

I deliberately calmed the atmosphere with a slow tone and a languid tone and took the time.

You can’t fight in the best condition all the time, but you can make it close to the best condition.

“Let’s talk. I think I’ve proven that I’m qualified to negotiate.”

In a slum, there are only those who take away and those who are taken away.

Jon has proven himself to be a taker, and that’s why Gulak listens to him too.

Facing Gullak, who was still glaring at him with a stiff face, John pulled the object out of his bosom.

courtesy box.

“If you say take it now, I will give it to you. And then we turn around and go our separate ways. I’m a little bit lost, but wouldn’t this be enough to make each other happy?”

It is also to take time to stabilize the body, but John’s words are sincere.

Most of any operation or operation has its success determined in advance, and it is best to finish it neatly without any problems.

It is right to avoid combat if you can avoid it.

Gulak, who glared at John, opened his mouth.

“…they said it suddenly appeared in the slums.”

“yes?”

A red light appeared in Gulak’s artificial eyes, and the magical patterns engraved all over his body shone softly.

“I know a little about you. It was said that he suddenly appeared in the slum three years ago and worked as a fixer. It’s nothing special.”

It is virtually impossible to identify people living in the slums, and it is not strange that they suddenly appear like John.

“I know for sure. You are from outside the slums.”

Gee ying!

Gulak, who changed his entire body except for his face, straightened up.

“There are no soft-headed guys in the slums who do negotiations. It’s just a matter of taking it or taking it away.”

Gulak’s artificial heart supplied power by pouring out energy, and bright light poured from the magic pattern, distorting the surrounding atmosphere.

“If you are a person with special abilities, I received help from a magician. There’s no way you’ll lose.”

The horse gained strength, and Gulag’s will hardened.

“You can’t even escape with an optical aesthetic anymore.”

The giant, nearly 3 meters tall, rolled up his body.

“die!”

bang!

A gigantic body weighing nearly one ton, with its whole body replaced with a body and enchanted with magic, rushed towards John.

***

John’s body reacted promptly, as if it was worthwhile to have calmed his nerves and subdued muscle pain, taking time and improving his body condition with stimulants.

Gulak took a step with a leap, and his body took a precarious step to the side.

Kwak Kwa Kwak!

Gulak’s body, fired like a cannonball, passed by John’s place and hit the abandoned building directly. With a loud sound, a thick cloud of dust rose and the weakened building screamed.

The sight must have made his heart terrify, but John glared at the scene with cold eyes and stretched out his hand into the air.

Then a large steel cylinder appeared out of nothingness and caught it in his hand, and John pulled the cylinder back and forth with his skillful hands.

Cheeky.

Wearing a cylinder lengthened from front to back over his shoulder, John pressed the button, and at that moment, a 66mm anti-tank HE shell was fired with a roar.

Kwak Kwa Kwak!

“Well!”

It was fired from such a close range that the aftermath of the explosion hit John as well, but after throwing away the empty LAW, John quickly stepped back and took out a new weapon.

It was a weapon that could blow up quite a few tanks and even buildings, but the opponent was a cyborg who protected with magic.

I thought that this would be enough, but on the other hand, a sense of uneasiness was sending a sensitive warning. John wasn’t the type to ignore his senses.

exhilaration!

“Kuk!”

At that moment, something flew at breakneck speed from beyond the thick dust, and John managed to avoid it by rolling sideways.

bang!

One might be curious about the identity of the object buried with a roar on one side of the vacant lot, but John did not take his eyes off the thick dust.

Through the senses enhanced by this ability, it was possible to know that it was just a lump of concrete that was forming an abandoned building, and even if it was not necessary, taking one’s eyes off the enemy was directly related to life and death.

Kwajik!

Sure enough, Gulak’s gigantic body pierced the dust with a crashing sound and charged at John.

It must have been an attempt to create a gap in John’s gaze by throwing concrete, but John’s combat experience was not so easy.

bang! bang! bang!

“Big!”

The 20mm anti-objective sniper rifle, which was aiming in a kneeling position, spewed out heavy bullets, and the kinetic energy of 28,000 joules was not a figure that could be ignored, no matter how magical it was.

Even so, John clicked his tongue as he saw the magic that still shone noblely and protected Gulak’s body.

Anti-tank missiles and anti-tank sniper rifles designed to deal with tanks in the first place were unable to destroy magic.

But John did not despair.

‘It’s been cut.’

It was a subtle difference, but the light emitted by the magic was certainly more faded than before.

In the end, even if it is this ability, it is a power that accompanies cause and effect.

The magic surrounding Gulak’s body was certainly powerful, but it was certain that it would not last forever and would break if it exceeded its limit.

‘…Otherwise, Luna would have been dominated by wizards long ago.’

In modern warfare, the one who dominates the streets always wins.

The moment when the magic reached its limit by continuing to hit like this would be the end of Gulag.

Continuing his thoughts, he quickly changed the magazine, and then again aimed the anti-material sniper rifle.

Gulak held out his palm with a viciously contorted face, and John involuntarily raised his anti-materiel rifle to cover himself.

Zeng!

“Cheak!”

A huge shock hit John’s whole body with a sound like space breaking, and the hard anti-material sniper rifle seemed to bend like a lie, and then John’s body bounced off.

bang!

“Kahak!”

It was only after hitting the wall of the abandoned building that John’s body stopped, and fresh blood spurted out of John’s mouth as he screamed involuntarily in excruciating pain.

“Turn it off.”

Blood was flowing from his mouth, nose, eyes and ears, and the pain that resonated throughout his body was so painful that he didn’t know where or how it had been hurt, but the training engraved on John’s body as much as possible prevented John from losing consciousness.

‘Wake!’

I wanted to roll over holding onto my whole body right away, but John desperately opened his eyes and shook his body.

Losing consciousness and not being able to move in the current situation meant death.

thud. thud.

Gulak walked slowly toward John, who was shaking desperately.

The magic faded, and the vapors pouring out of Gulag’s body never looked normal, but he was standing still and John was lying on the floor.

“I didn’t know that I would even write this.”

Chi profit.

“Sigh!”

A large hand grabbed John’s neck and lifted him up.

The body of steel, which had been heated to the point of forced cooling, was too hot for the body to touch, and John groaned involuntarily at the burning pain.

“It’s an air compression bullet. Nobody knows.”

The red artificial eyeballs looked straight at John.

awesome

“Cock!”

Gulak’s prosthetic hand delicately transmitted power, but John’s human body was unable to withstand it.

If it wasn’t for the body strengthened by this ability, the neck would have been broken.

“This is the first time I’ve killed someone with this ability. I will be able to sleep well today.”

Gulak’s face was covered with a vicious smile of low desire.

The pleasure of transforming the whole body into a prosthetic body in order to surpass an ordinary human being, and cutting off the breath of the talented person whom he longed for, stimulated the brain to secrete dopamine, and saliva flowed down Gullak’s mouth.

And then.

“…not today.”

John, who seemed to be dying, bleeding from every pore in his face, reached out and grabbed Gulak’s arm.

profit!

Blisters formed on his hands from the burns as he grabbed the body of steel that hadn’t cooled down yet, but John gritted his teeth and added strength to his hands.

Perseok.

“···uh?”

The steel arm strengthened by magic crumbled like a lie.
