BOOM!
“Kuaaac!”
Without any strength left in him, Naramhart collapsed to the ground.
That wasn’t all. The blade attacks that followed right after have sliced off his arms.
In disbelief, Naramhart stared at Vulcan.
‘This is… Just what the…!”
Naramhart was so shocked by Vulcan’s incredible abilities that it was to the point of making Naramhart forget about the pain. Naramhart was not able to hide how shocked he was.
‘He is fighting me, a captain of 999, yet he is taking it so easy…’
Of course, even Naramhart knew that he wasn’t invincible against all humans. Usually, in comparison to a continent’s strongest human, Naramhart had a few shortcomings.
Now, Naramhart was facing Vulcan, a man who could toy with him effortlessly as if he was just a bug. Looking at Vulcan’s emotionless face, Naramhart felt the chill flowing down on his back despite his entire body feeling hot from the pain.
‘This could be almost… equal or greater than the supreme commander… No, this definitely is!”
Naramhart’s face was starting to get saturated with despair.
Vulcan’s eyes were calm and cold.
Vulcan said to him,
“Tell me. What are you? Why are you here? How did you get here? Finally, who is your leader?”
With his mouth firmly shut, Naramhart ignored Vulcan.
However, Vulcan didn’t care.
Vulcan collected mana with his left hand and said in a dry tone,
“I see you that are not talking.”
“The opportunity to use it came like this. Let’s go ahead and see who will win.”
Having finished talking, Vulcan placed his palm on the top of Naramhart’s head.
“Kuaaaac! Kuk! Kuhuwuk!”
Naramhart struggled in pain.
Looking at Naramhart, who was shaking, Vulcan thought,
‘To think I would be using this torture technique I learned from Lee Jung-yup.’
It was a technique that Vulcan learned for fun while he was in the Underground Graveyard.
Only a moment ago, Naramhart was keeping his silence out of royalty for his leader, and he managed to do so despite having all of his arms and legs chopped off.
Having heard all information that he wanted to hear, Vulcan used Hellfire and cleansed Naramhart from existence.
A wide variety of information poured out of his mouth.
“Korean peninsula has been already destroyed. I heard there are resistances left in a few places in other continents… As for the survivors in Korean peninsula… They are gathered in an underground prison located in south side. We are in the process of deciding what to do with them…”
“And you don’t know what happened to the people who had been living near Seoul?”
“I got it.”
Puk.
[Experience points went up by an extremely small amount.]
Belake’s head was cracked open like a water melon.
Having transformed in to the Lightning’s spirit, Vulcan charged forward in full speed.
It was Busan.
KUA KUA KUA KUA KUANG.
Vulcan charged straight toward Busan. Nothing could get in his way.
Regardless of what came in front of his path, Vulcan didn’t care.
It wasn’t like Vulcan was going to get hurt from doing so, and it wasn’t like there was going to be any collateral damage to anyone around the area.
So, instead, Vulcan charged forward in maximum speed that way, and eventually, he arrived at Busan.
“… Is that the place?”
There was an entrance that looked like it was purposely made for an underground space, and there were countless demons lurking around the area.
Vulcan was about to rush in, but he stopped for a moment. It was because a thought just crossed his mind.
‘If my family is in there…’
Actually, Vulcan was about half given up on his hope about his family being alive.
His family lived in Gwang-myoung City, just south of Seoul. Because of this, assuming their survival was an excessively optimistic idea.
However, although that was true, he could not ignore the possibility of his family being alive.
‘If I cause a havoc here… It could endanger the people inside.’
Vulcan finished agonizing over it and moved quickly.
It was at a speed that demons could not notice that he just passed by.
He could feel breathing of countless people just beyond the gate.
“What…”
[Gatekeeper Pokuru]
[50Lv]
Phuk.
Thump.
[Experience points went up by an extremely small amount.]
Leaving behind the gatekeeper that died before being able to finish his sentence, Vulcan stepped inside.
‘There are a lot of people here.’
There were people trapped in groups of 100 to 200 people.
When Vulcan slowly walked through, a demon in the corridor screamed after seeing Vulcan.
Until a moment ago, the demon was laughing in joy as he tore apart a human being’s corpse.
“What! An intru…”
BOOM.
BOOM BABA BOOM.
Thump.
…
[Experience points went up by an extremely small amount.]
In a blink of an eye, Vulcan cast Infinite Flame Orbs and eliminated all guards.
When Vulcan lightly swung his blade, a prison room’s metal bars were cut as if they were straws.
“Huk!”
“We are saved! Oh, Jesus!”
People in the room, who were in horrible shapes, cheered loudly.
He was looking for someone he could ask to get more accurate information, but he could feel numerous footsteps approaching this way.
“Hey look! There is an intruder here!”
“Idiot! Do you think we would have missed it if there were many? He managed to get this far because he is alone!”
“Is that so? Even so, it is odd that he is alone.”
Small demons rambled on.
A seven-foot tall demon swung his fist at the head of one of small demons.
PUK.
Watching the skull and brain fluid being sprayed apart, the small demons fell to silence.
“Didn’t you see the dead bodies of guards and the gatekeeper? He is an incredibly powerful one!”
“B… But… I heard that there isn’t any powerful beings on Earth. I heard we only need to watch out for their weapons…”
PUK.
The larger demon also exploded the other small demon and said,
“One of you go ask the commander to come.”
“Y… Yes!”
After a salute, a small demon rushed to go find the commander.
After a smile, he said,
“I know you are a pretty powerful bastard. However, now that you are in here, you are just a rat in a poisooooooooo!”
A flame was ignited in the area where the demons stood.
Inside a flame made of five Firefields overlapped, Koros, the demon force captain of 99 and several tens of small demons became ashes and disappeared.
‘If I stand guard at this entrance, I think I’ll be able to slay them all without causing any casualties to people.’
Toward Vulcan, who just finished this thought, there were forces of demon swarming toward Vulcan like a wave.
Vulcan shouted toward them in exhilarating voice,
“Come!”
“Kill him! Kill that human!”
Demons came at Vulcan like endless swarm of cockroaches.
It was because, for Vulcan, they were not even worth as a snack after a meal.
On the other hand, their average level was 20, and there were demons with level 50 to 70 occasionally. Vulcan could more than handle a million of these demons.
‘If I keep up this seemingly endless slaughter, a big one that could end the situation… did show up.’
The aura alone was different from other demons.
It somehow felt like this one could have a trick or two up its sleeves, so Vulcan gulped and checked its abilities.
[Demon force adjunct Hokera]
[122Lv]
“You dared and made me come here… Struggle in hopelessness… andooooooooooough!”
“What’s this? It’s still just a small fry.”
By the Hellfire that was lightly tossed out by Vulcan, who had his face completely crumpled, Hokera was extinguished from existence.
It wasn’t that Hokera was weak.
Vulcan mumbled as he crumpled his face,
“I think this place won’t be safe unless I smashed up the one in charge of demon force in Korea.”
Watching the demon forces still coming at him in endless waves, Vulcan’s eyes beamed with light.
“Kuuuarc!”
KU GU GUNG…
It was an existence with its entire body made of hard stone-like materials.
Although it displayed might that was on a whole another level from the other demons that came before him, even this one was on his knees in front of Vulcan in less than 10 seconds.
[Demon Force Commander, Count Burubelmong]
[202Lv]
“It is I… Burubelmong… the warden of this prison… yet you…. So easily… Kuuurrrc!”
By Vulcan’s flame magic, Burubelmong met his end before being able to finish his last words.
[Experience points went up.]
“He said he was the warden. So, I guess that means there won’t be anyone coming to threaten this place for a while.”
Burubelmong melt away inside a terrifying heat. Vulcan enjoyed the sight for a moment and turned his gaze away.
Their jaws were dropped for so long that it was to the point that their jaws might actually pop.
Vulcan slowly walked toward them.
“I have something I want to ask.”
“Huk! Ah, yes!”
Vulcan approached a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked at Vulcan with a curious look, wondering what it was that Vulcan wanted to ask. Meanwhile, Vulcan took a deep breath to ask the questions.
The one that he wanted to ask the most was also the one he was most afraid of asking.
However, regardless of what the answer was going to be, it was something that already had happened. It was actually a stupid thing to do to hesitate like this here.
Looking straight into the middle-aged man’s eyes, Vulcan asked,
“One year ago… When the demon force started their invasion on Earth, I heard that the first place they arrived was Seoul.”
“In that case, the people that used to live in Seoul… Also, other people that lived around the capital… Is there anything you know about what happened to those people?”
The middle-aged man’s face darkened instantly.
Having guessed what the man was going to say next, Vulcan prepared his heart for the terrible news.
“Since you are asking about that… You must be from another world just like these monsters have. They… It would be correct to assume that there isn’t any survivors among the people that used to live in Seoul and Gyeong-gi sector.”
“They didn’t have the chance to prepare for it… It was only after the situation in Korea that the humanity started to prepare against the invasion, so…”
Vulcan quietly closed his eyes.
Vulcan lowered his head.
He looked like someone who knew from the beginning that things would turnout like this.
‘What should I do now…’
A few dozen thoughts crossed his mind.
‘What was the point of all that hardship I endured in Rubel Continent? Clearing Act 1 and making a wish to come back to Earth… What was it all for… If an ending like this was waiting for me...’
“…”
‘Wait.’
Vulcan quickly turned his head.
“The Cross-dimensional teleportation technique!”
Vulcan murmured in a loud voice.
This was not the end.
‘If I used the Cross-dimensional teleportation technique, go back to Asgard and cleared Act 2… If I used the wish from Act 2, which can grant the kind of wishes that are impossible for Act 1…!’
Having thought this far, Vulcan woke up from his deep thoughts. There were sounds of steps by a humongous lifeform approaching. The steps were shaking the entire area.
Vulcan turned his head and looked around the people. He could see that they were all in state of panic.
“N… No!”
“I thought we might be able to live, but in the end…”
“What is it? This sound… Is it about the sound?”
Vulcan asked the middle-aged man.
He had a look of despair, but still, he was calmer than others. The man said,
“There is only that bastard that could make this kind of noise from mere steps. It’s the leader of the demon forces…”
“Damn it! Which bastard killed so many of my subordinates!”
It was an incredibly loud voice. It was loud enough to hurt the ears of people who already had them plugged with their hands.
To the ears of people shaking in fear, his voice could be heard again,
“Come out, now! If you come out quietly, I will kill you painlessly in an instant. If you don’t, you will die while struggling in pain that’s beyond this world!”
‘If I stayed here, I think everyone in the prison might die too.’
Vulcan, following what he heard, quietly came up to the surface.
He had a broad shoulder and carried fearsome looking gigantic sword. He looked quite deadly.
By the looks of him, he looked about as powerful as Folken or Beruneru.
‘Why is he so confident? What level is he?’
Vulcan used the SYSTEM and checked the opponent’s level.
