Living in a World That Is Destined for Destruction

＜ Episode 30 ＞

Kwajijik!

The floor of the extremely sturdy conference room was distorted, and Ivan’s body was shot out at an imperceptible speed.

At that moment, only John was aware of Ivan’s movements at the moment when Igor, the humanoid, Tyrone, the unmanned, and Kurak, the shaman, were not aware.

‘Hut!’

He barely noticed because he had filled the meeting room with his superpowers long before the Pushkin mafia and organ makers arrived.

Through John’s supernatural ability, which filled the space, he clearly recognized the movement of Ivan’s figure.

In reality, it would have been a moment, but Ivan’s image entered John’s field of vision, whose perceived time had slowed down infinitely.

The two legs that disappeared below the thighs were splattering only blood, and the wide-open mouth was so wide that it could hardly be thought that it was a human being, and teeth like sharks were closely embedded in it.

In an instant, Ivan’s body, which was out of human form, flew towards Ekaterina, and his wide-open mouth contained a primordial murderous intent.

“Damn it!”

He put his hand on the girl’s shoulder and pulled it toward her body.

In reality, it might have been a flash-like movement, but in the slowed-down accident, his face burns red at the sight of himself and his surroundings moving infinitely slowly.

‘Quickly!’

Slowly but surely, Ivan’s teeth approaching the girl’s nape and John’s movement to somehow protect her crossed paths.

simplicity and honesty!

“Kyaaah!”

Kwak!

Time passed normally again and the girl’s screams echoed through the meeting room.

“what!”

“…I didn’t respond?”

“Prepare for battle!”

While everyone shouted in surprise, John’s eyes turned to the girl.

“ah. Ahh······ !”

“Damn it.”

Ekaterina’s left arm had been torn off from below the elbow, and the girl was pale and trembling all over, probably in shock from the pain and bleeding.

“Wake!”

John shouted loudly into Ekaterina’s ear, then took out a stick the size of his palm and drove it into the girl’s left shoulder.

“Ouch!”

“Hold on! can do!”

A normal child would have fainted right away or died from shock, but Ekaterina is a person with supernatural powers.

Although he is still a child, he must have a strong body unique to a person with special abilities, and John put some hope into it.

The medical nanomachines penetrated through the girl’s shoulder began to act furiously, recognized the wound in an instant, and rushed toward the missing elbow.

Boogle!

“ah. Ahh!”

Ekaterina’s face went blank as if the pain relief and awakening effects were doing their job, and only then did John feel relieved when he saw that he was bleeding.

It took only a few seconds to get here.

“… you son of a b*tch!”

Confirming that first aid was given, John took out a large revolver from his chest.

bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!

A 50 BMG bullet containing more than 10,000 joules of energy was fired with ferocious intent to kill.

“Shoot!”

“Yaaa!”

Doo doo doo!

With Igor’s cry, members of the Pushkin Mafia fired bullets all at once.

Inside the communal meeting room, gunshots diffusely reflected and penetrated everyone’s eardrums, and smoke rose along with the smell of gunpowder.

Clap!

“Hut!”

“What crazy!”

Holding Ekaterina in his arms, John quickly rolled over and pulled something out of his pocket and put it on his shoulder.

bang!

LAW locked himself in, and intense shock energy spread in all directions along with an explosion, and everyone looked at John with tired eyes, but John’s hand did not stop.

Ting. teeting.

The incendiary grenade rolled, but soon flames rose, and that was enough to make Igor, who was reputed to have the guts, turn white at the sight of John taking out an anti-tank rifle and grinding it.

“…I don’t want to fight with that friend if possible.”

“I agree.”

Regardless of whether he had direct combat skills or not, John’s boldness to use his hands mercilessly had the power to chill the hearts of those who watched.

Even Tyrone gave a puzzled look, and Kurak nodded in agreement.

The walls inside the conference room glowed brightly, emitting magical light, and smoke and dust rose from the firepower poured in an instant, obscuring the view.

“…tough.”

Clap!

John narrowed his eyes as he reloaded the anti-tank rifle that had fired all the bullets.

What John had confirmed just now was that he was out of human form, but Ivan’s regenerative ability, which was called immortal, must have gone nowhere.

John muttered with his mouth twisted and turned his sights to the place where the staff of Organ Maker were.

“there.”

“What. What is it?”

It was a short time, but the staff of Organ Maker, who was startled by John’s merciless performance, stuttered, but John didn’t mind and continued.

“What exactly did you do on Ivan’s body? What is the expected fighting ability?”

“That, that.”

No one failed to grasp the seriousness of John’s words.

“Check your armaments!”

“Reload!”

Igor shouted, stepping forward, and Tyrone stood beside him, gripping the hilt of his sword.

Kurak, who was among the staff of Organ Maker, put his hands together and muttered something, and the other staff members, except for the manager, each pulled out their weapons.

“in a hurry. Quickly!”

None of those present here are strangers to blood and violence.

Their premonition of crossing the line in their own way is ringing ominously and sounding a warning.

“Bird, bionic cyborg! What was applied to Ivan is biocyborg technology!”

Everyone’s faces hardened at the name of the monster that appeared at the end of the Great War.

***

The Great War was the scene where all technologies were raised to the limit.

The battlefield, where formidable weapons were mobilized, caused mutually assured destruction, and mankind devoted to evil did nothing to develop more efficient weapons while grinding their teeth.

The lycanthrope was also born that way, and it was put into various local wars and achieved significant results, but mankind, who were not satisfied there, completed a formidable biological weapon at the end of the war.

Biological cyborg or chimera.

A masterpiece created by collecting genes adjusted to the point of nonsense, putting them into one human body, and adjusting them.

Its body adapts freely to the situation on the battlefield, and the entire body can be said to be a weapon.

bones, muscles, nerves, skin, and even bodily fluids.

It is said that only one object was completed at the end of the war because of the heinous level of resources and astronomically low success rate that went into completion, but its power was recorded in the history of war.

As expected, most of the related technologies have been lost, so chimeras nowadays are considered to be the synthetic bodies of wizards, but real chimeras are truly feared, and can be said to be the goal of all bio-related researchers and wizards.

***

“…We are a company that started by acquiring some of the Lost Technologies from The Great War. It’s a biotechnology-based technology.”

The manager with a strangely relaxed expression continued.

“Among them, there was technology related to bioweapons. The loss was so severe that it was only a reference material.”

“…that’s when you contacted Ivan.”

“···That’s right. Everyone was delighted that a test object had appeared to prove the data we had.”

I couldn’t hear it after that.

“The technology applied to Ivan’s body is not what it used to be. In the first place, you can’t make a chimera as a reference material. but.”

The administrator’s gaze turned to Igor, and Igor, who guessed the meaning of that gaze, gnashed his teeth.

“···Damn it.”

“Yes. I got a DNA sample of a lycanthrope from somewhere, and I used that as a base. It must have belonged to Mr. Igor.”

“It’s a story about the ability to regenerate enough to be called immortal, the combat ability of a lycanthrope, and unknown abilities added to it.”

Everyone hardened their faces at Kurak’s words.

Isn’t it a spec that makes you want to run away just by listening to it?

“Originally, it should have failed. However, Ivan said he would suppress the rejection reaction with his regenerative ability and settle it into his body. I expected it to take quite a while, but Ivan said it didn’t matter.”

Organization was on track and time was on Ivan’s side, so he wouldn’t have cared.

“Send the materials.”

John opened his mouth with a stiff face.

“I’m not in a position to laugh and talk with Ivan anyway. We have to see the end here.”

At John’s words, everyone nodded in agreement.

Wasn’t everyone else happy except for Ivan a while ago?

Ivan was the only one unlucky, but now the position is reversed.

And most of Luna’s people don’t forget their grudges.

Especially if it’s life-threatening.

The organmaker’s manager manipulated the terminal and sent information about the DNA applied to Ivan’s body to everyone, and everyone confirmed the information with their eyes shining.

And then.

rain.

The sound of chewing could be heard through the flames, smoke and dust.

simplicity and honesty. Awesome. Awesome.

“Don’t listen.”

The girl’s face turned white after being held in John’s arms, and John hurriedly pulled her over and covered her ears.

Everyone’s faces contorted.

If Ivan was eating something beyond that fire curtain, he would know what it was without even saying it.

“Please treat me.”

“All right.”

After handing Ekaterina, who was shivering with a pale face, to the manager, John stepped forward with a firm expression on his face.

Igor and Tyrone stood in front, Jon and Kurak behind them.

“It’s tingly. hey john. Is there any way?”

At Tyrone’s words, John met his eyes, and Tyrone laughed.

“Looking at the style, I think it was a soldier or similar job, but in this kind of situation, it would be right for them to suggest a way.”

Igor turned his head disapprovingly, and Kurak gave a light nod of agreement.

‘A pro is a pro.’

They are not afraid to recognize and hide their shortcomings.

John shook his head, thinking that if he ever met them later, he would not be able to make them enemies.

“The battle is for the four of us. It would be right for the rest of the members to focus on their own defense.”

“in action!”

Igor shouted as soon as John could speak, and the Pushkin Mafia and Organ Maker employees gathered in a corner of the conference room.

“I wouldn’t have come naked. Isn’t there a drug or something that can subdue Ivan?”

“Take it.”

At John’s words, the manager threw a small box with a dejected expression, received the box, and Chan John checked the contents before distributing them to each other.

“He looks dangerous.”

Everyone shook their heads after checking the syringe full of fluorescent material that seemed to be absolutely not good for the body.

“Each person decides how to write. You said that you’ve been suppressing rejection until now with your regenerative powers. There must be a reason for taking Yekaterina’s blood, but it would be hard to see that her regenerative ability is fully displayed.”

Everyone’s eyes lit up at John’s reasoning.

“If you cut it, you can kill it.”

Igor smiled contentedly, opening his mouth wide and baring his blade-like teeth.

And then.

Poo!

Something flew quickly through the still flames and smoke, and Tyrone’s hand moved and a dazzling light burst out.
