===================
The Control Room employees let out cheers.
Extraction Department, Refining Department, Conversion Department, Transmission Department…….
Meaning all the employees of the Dimensional Energy Storage Control Room.
[U-wa-a-a-a!]
[It’s amazing timing.]
[With this, we protected the No. 843 dimensional energy storage.]
[No, isn’t it like the Earth No. 1,001 Black Tower has also been normalized?]
[Right. Because the Summoner will die here.]
The Archangel arrived.
At the entrance of the No. 843 dimensional energy storage.
Now the Summoner and the White Tower are both finished.
The suspended parallel universe Earth new Black Tower project business will also resume and.
[Maximize the hologram video, turn up the sound full blast too.]
[Yes, Controller-nim.]
It’s an Archangel, no less.
The main base’s ultimate weapon.
Its exact designation?
‘Android of Divinity.’
That’s right.
That isn’t a lifeform.
A mechanical device created by God.
Deus ex machina.
That Archangel is not the only entity.
Would God have created only one android guardian angel?
The Archangels that existed in the main base were a total of 3 units.
One among them is that one.
Although it is a weapon protecting the main base, God sent it over here.
Because it contains plenty of Divine Power, sending it to another dimension takes a lot of time, and the consumed resources would be tremendous.
Now there is no worry.
We can just watch comfortably.
However.
[We prepare for support as well. Turn the dimensional energy transmitter toward the Archangel.]
[…Is there a need to do that?]
[How can we know what will happen? If push comes to shove, shoot dimensional energy to the Archangel.]
[Understood.]
If we can kill that Summoner, it doesn’t matter even if we consume all the dimensional energy gathered up until now.
What’s there to be stingy about?
* * *
The Archangel’s transmission information secured with the Judge’s Mallet.
It wasn’t sufficient.
Only the fact that it is an ultimate weapon sent from the world called the main base.
We’ll find out soon.
What kind of guy the Archangel is.
The summoned entities had already formed a formation.
Gobang at the very front, Cossack and Mad Demon next.
Baek Dan-ah, Man-nyeon, Gepet, etc. took charge of the center and.
Major Bae aiming sub-light speed bullets, Bardin, Tiamat, and Crackus in the sky.
The rest completely surrounded Joo-hyuk without a gap.
“It looks ordinary, sir.”
“Not particularly threatening or anything…….”
“Seeing the wings, it probably can fly, sir.”
“We just have to process it with sub-light speed bullets the moment it flies up.”
At that, Gyeon Dal-rae tilting her head.
“It is strange.”
“What is?”
“It does not seem like a living thing.”
Meaning it’s not a lifeform.
Is it something like a Golem?
“It is different from Dr. El. That person is no different from a human.”
Right.
Because she has a soul.
Then…….
“Dr. El, is that something like an automatic-type Gigant?”
“It is not. It is an item separate from magical engineering.”
“Heum.”
Could it be a robot?
Ey, no way.
The genre suddenly changing to Sci-Fi?
Anyway, they didn’t move hastily.
That Archangel was the same.
A mutual standoff situation.
“This old man must taste it first. Whether it’s spicy or bland.”
Well.
“…I don’t have a good premonition. Because it feels like it’ll be extremely spicy.”
“Hahaha. Don’t Koreans like a spicy taste?”
“Our Cossack is a spice weakling (maep-jjil-i) though.”
“Bong Summoner-nim, please don’t look down on me, sir. Formally, I can eat roughly Fried Tempura Udon easily now, sir.”
You are amazing.
But Fried Tempura Udon isn’t spicy originally, you know?
Seu-euk.
Mad Demon taking one step forward.
Jji-i-ing!
Mad Demon’s hair, which was white, turned red.
The manifestation of Blood Jade Unyielding Aura that surpassed the realm constraint.
At that moment!
Seu-reu-reuk.
“Uh?”
The Archangel disappeared without a trace.
“What is it? Where did it go?”
“Stealth?”
“Similar but no, sir.”
“Invisibility?”
“Also similar but…….”
It was then.
Jji-rit!
‘Eum?’
A feeling of the ends of Joo-hyuk’s hair and the crown of his head standing on end.
A chilling killing intent.
‘Don’t tell me?’
Spot!
Joo-hyuk stepping back reflexively.
Kwa-jik!
The Archangel dropping with a hair’s breadth of difference.
“Eu-hik?”
What is it?
I almost died.
It wasn’t over yet.
Joo-hyuk instinctively unfolded Shadow Step and Blink magic consecutively.
Seu-pa-pa! Pa-pa-pa-pat!
The Archangel reacted instantaneously too.
Cheu-pit! Cheu-pit! Cheu-pit! Cheu-pit…….
Sticking closely to Joo-hyuk, it stabbed at his head with sharp fingertips.
An event that occurred in the blink of an eye.
Even hesitating slightly means getting hit exactly.
The summoned entities realized belatedly too.
Startled out of their wits and.
“Bong Summoner-nim!!!”
“Summoner! Dodge.”
“Pl, please!!!”
“My Lord! Over here!”
Even if I run away, I shouldn’t distance myself from the summoned entities.
Spot! Seu-pa-pa-pa-pa-pat!
Cossack running over with an extremely furious expression.
“Hey, dog bastard!!!”
Seo-geo-geo-geok!
Chae-chaeng! Chae-chae-chae-chaeng!
The Archangel’s arm changing into a blade and facing against Cossack.
It worked.
Archangel aggro handover.
Following behind that, Gobang, Mad Demon, and Bardin joined.
This entire process happened in just a few seconds.
‘Phew, I live… Heok!’
O-ssak!
It wasn’t over yet.
His crown feeling numb again.
Goosebumps rising on his skin.
Spot! Spot! Spot…….
Shadow Step moving naturally.
Cheu-pit! Cheu-pit! Cheu-pi-pi-pi-pi-pit!
The attack of the Archangel that appeared at some point brushed past Joo-hyuk’s cheek.
‘Heol!’
Blood, blood!
That bastard made my cheek bleed.
Clearly the Archangel was handed over to the summoned entities.
Even currently, the battle between them is occurring.
This guy that just appeared is…….
‘What the?’
Joo-hyuk witnessed it.
The Archangel that Cossack is facing, the Archangel Gobang is facing, the Archangel Mad Demon is facing, the Archangel Bardin is facing.
And even in the moment it was attacking.
Seu-woong, seu-woong, seu-woong!
The appearance of the Archangel dividing like an amoeba.
‘This guy is also a clone?’
The dividing didn’t stop.
From one to two, from two to four, from four to eight.
The divided Archangels attached themselves to the summoned entities respectively and.
Thanks to that, the main body could face only Joo-hyuk without receiving any interference.
“Commander-nim!!!”
“My Lord!!”
“Young Master!”
“Ho-a-a-a-a-at!”
A situation where long-range attacks were also impossible because they were too close.
The summoned entities ran desperately with reddened eyes to save Joo-hyuk.
Seu-woong, seu-woong, seu-woong, seu-woong.
Even amidst that, the Archangel continuously divided, and divided again.
The guy’s target was only one.
Precisely Joo-hyuk.
Other summoned entities weren’t even in its sight.
The divided bodies used only for the purpose of tying down the summoned entities’ feet.
Seu-pa-pa-pa-pat!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Attacking only Joo-hyuk unconditionally.
That’s right.
The victory or defeat of this fight was Joo-hyuk.
Obliteration of Bong Joo-hyuk.
Like a program inputted.
The Archangel stuck to him mechanically.
Excluding all emotions, whether the summoned entities rushed in or not, whether it received attacks from them or not.
It was only looking at Joo-hyuk.
It only chased his movements.
So it is even more terrifying.
If caught, I die.
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pat!
The fleeing Joo-hyuk.
The Archangel chasing him.
The summoned entities desperately blocking it.
The guy was smart.
Even though it had wings, it didn’t fly up.
Because it could become a long-range target.
However, Joo-hyuk, who seemed like he would be caught but wasn’t.
Would he let himself be caught easily?
I’m a person who drank a Dragon Heart reinforcement elixir.
I don’t know if you know about the Adept Energy shower.
I received that too.
Chwa-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-rak!
Mari’s Homunculus coiled around the Archangel.
Gyeon Dal-rae’s talismans covered the sky.
Mackenzie’s magic suppression attacks, Major Bae who couldn’t use his magic gun doing a body-slam charge, Baek Dan-ah and Man-nyeon’s cold attacks, Gepet and Tiamat, El and Crackus…….
However,
Seu-woong, seu-woong, seu-woong, seu-woong…….
Dropping off divided bodies to the summoned entities, the main body blindly targeting Joo-hyuk, Joo-hyuk, Joo-hyuk alone.
The numbers continued to increase.
There were already far more of them than summoned entities.
30, 60, soon surpassing 100.
The method to escape this crisis?
I must buy time to pull out an item from the inventory and equip it.
Cheu-pi-pi-pi-pi-pit!
The distance between Joo-hyuk and the Archangel’s main body was roughly about one step.
If I let my guard down even a little, I get caught.
Please, can’t we just distance off about three steps?
Let me do something too.
At that moment!
One talisman sprinkled from the sky fluttered down and stuck to the Archangel’s chest.
Chak!
It was a Binding Talisman.
One that makes the target unable to move.
A momentary opportunity.
Not missing it, the fired Judge’s Mallet.
Hwi-ri-rit!
Peo-eok!
The Archangel tumbling backward.
Finally time was given.
The leeway to try doing something.
Joo-hyuk quickly pulled out the Cloak of Transcendence’s Concealment from his inventory and flipped it over himself.
Seu-reu-reuk.
An appearance disappearing without a trace.
Simultaneously, the Archangel that lost its target.
The Cloak of Transcendence’s Concealment.
Hides one’s appearance for 10 minutes.
However, a 10-minute cooldown time, and if an attack action is made, one is discovered.
Did you see it?
A cowardly man’s (ha-nam-ja) dazzling fleeing skills.
I am exactly Bong Joo-hyuk.
You can’t see me, right?
Try to find me, you bastard.
It was then.
Meom-chit, meom-chit, meom-chit, meom-chit, meom-chit……. (Hesitating/Stopping)
The Archangel and the divided bodies also stopped their movements and then.
Seu-reuk, seu-reuk, seu-reuk, seu-reuk, seu-reuk…….
They disappeared in an instant.
‘…….’
The suddenly quieted battlefield.
It is desolate.
Hwi-i-i, only a dreary wind blew.
‘Are they saying there’s no need to fight since I disappeared?’
Stalker bastards.
Bastards who only look at me.
Due to Joo-hyuk’s concealment, the summoned entities also stopped their movements.
They concentrated all their attention and searched for the Archangel that might appear again.
Something like hide-and-seek.
If Joo-hyuk takes off the Cloak of Transcendence’s Concealment or if 10 minutes pass and the effect ends revealing his appearance, the Archangel will probably appear too.
‘I got a fright.’
Taking a breather for a moment and.
‘Will a save work?’
So I can exit and formulate an Archangel response strategy again before coming in.
As he was about to pull out a Save Ticket from his inventory and tear it.
[At the current point in time, the Save function is not activated.]
It doesn’t work?
Why?
If so.
‘…White Tower, God-Baek-nim?’
It’s saying items can’t be used.
Then you have to do something for me.
However, it was silent.
It seems the White Tower’s intervention was blocked too.
Usually it would refute and come out immediately like before.
‘Bastards, they prepared a lot.’
Indeed, the Archangel probably didn’t come recklessly without countermeasures.
A suffocating silence.
Joo-hyuk and the summoned entities were all wordless.
The Archangel’s surprise target attack.
It almost succeeded.
Because it surged in without giving time to breathe.
I really wasn’t caught by a difference of one sheet of paper.
If it was before the Adept Energy shower?
I would’ve been caught one hundred percent.
‘Now I’ll have to equip the Cloak of Concealment constantly.’
At this point, let me reveal one card too.
Now, what to do?
Catalog All-Summon is premature.
I know just by looking at the newbie LSSR summoned entities right now.
It’s unreasonable because they are still weak.
The answer has already come out.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
To a divided Archangel, responding with clone bodies.
Rummaging his pocket, he pulled out the Great Sage Heaven’s Equal’s golden fluffball, blew a breath hu-wu on it, and then.
Seu-reu-reuk.
Canceling the Cloak of Concealment.
“Bong Summoner-nim!!!”
And the moment Joo-hyuk revealed his appearance.
Seu-woong, seu-woong, seu-woong, seu-woong…….
Divided Archangels appearing innumerably.
Hwi-i-ik!
Joo-hyuk scattered the fluffball to the front.
Peo-peong! Peo-peo-peo-peo-peo-peo-peo-peong! Peong-peong-peong-peong-peong-peong!
The Great Sage Heaven’s Equal’s clones multiplied their numbers in an instant and appeared on the scene.
The 93rd floor mission area was completely golden.
Archangel division?
We are the infinitely multiplying Golden Monkey-nims.
Those guys are Archangels, they say.
Because they are insolently dividing their bodies, please show them what the real thing is.
Let’s give them a good scolding.
As far away from here as possible.
Because I’m scared if they rush at me.
As Joo-hyuk’s will was transmitted.
Wa-reu-reu-reu-reu-reu!
The Great Sage Heaven’s Equal’s clones bounding forward like a storm.
The Archangel divided bodies being swept away by them.
A portion of the Golden Monkeys remained by Joo-hyuk’s side.
Because he asked them to do so.
‘Only if I am safe do the summoned entities live too.’
If something happened to himself, everything is over.
But now he can feel relieved.
Only then did the summoned entities also let out sighs of relief and.
“You did well, sir. This Cossack was trusting you, sir.”
“This old man thought his heart was breaking.”
“This girl, is still trembling.”
Me too.
My legs are still shaking.
I really almost died, you know?
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Golden waves crashed.
In the aftermath, the Archangels were pushed far away.
Some were torn apart.
Some were crushed.
Indeed, how can they handle that many Golden Monkey-nims?
Shall I sit and rest a bit now?
Teol-sseok, Joo-hyuk plopping down on the floor.
Conversely, the summoned entities still didn’t let go of the string of tension.
Right at that time.
Beon-jjeok!
“Uh?”
The sky became filled with white light and then.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!!!
A pillar of light dropping down once again.
It struck the surviving Archangels accurately.
‘…What is that again?’
It was a brilliant light.
A feast of somewhat holy, or pure, and powerful, destructive energy.
Energy, huh.
Don’t tell me?
‘…Dimensional Energy?’
Seems to be so.
The Archangel’s bodies began to shine.
And.
Seu-woong, seu-woong, seu-woong, seu-woong, seu-woong…….
The Archangels beginning to divide endlessly and very quickly.
U-wu-wu-wu-wu-wu-wu…….
Innumerable silver lights mixed into the Golden Monkey swarm.
The silver lights also created waves resisting the golden color.
Then it gradually pushed the golden color back and was approaching Joo-hyuk’s direction.
The fierce clash of silver and golden light.
The rapidly advancing Archangel divided bodies.
The Golden Monkeys blocking them like an iron wall.
When the Archangel divided bodies tried to fly up to the sky, Kwa-ak! The Golden Monkeys grabbed their legs and wings tenaciously and dragged them down.
‘Haa, this is troubling.’
The Archangels receiving energy supply in real-time.
Powered by that, the silver divided bodies multiplying innumerably.
At this rate, the golden color might be eaten by the silver color.
I thought it would be overwhelming if I scattered the hairs.
It was a spectacle that went against Joo-hyuk’s philosophy of tower clears.
I hate feeling uneasy.
Feeling nervous is absolutely declined.
Even when reading a novel or watching a movie, Joo-hyuk always checks the ending first before watching.
If it’s a sad ending, he doesn’t watch it at all.
Even if it’s a happy ending, if someone like a supporting character dies in the middle, he doesn’t watch that either.
Something like the catharsis of sadness isn’t in my dictionary.
From the beginning to the end.
A thorough happy ending.
So.
Joo-hyuk mumbled quietly.
“Transcendence, Beyond, Random Summoning!”
Let’s go for sure.
Stably.
Transcendence Summoning is a total of 2 times.
Even if I use one time, one more time remains.
Platinum Badges are plenty too.
But?
‘…….’
It’s quiet.
I clearly cast the skill though.
Checking the status window, it says I used it.
Why is nothing happening?
The Sword Immortal-nim appeared immediately.
Just in case, he looked up at the sky.
Something like a Dimensional Movement Gate didn’t open.
‘What on earth?’
Don’t tell me they blocked this too?
Hey, God-Baek, no, Teacher Baek, eum, Whitey, did you get stepped on?
Right at that time!
“Excuse me, I would appreciate it if you could give me a candy or something, because my sugar dropped.”
A sound heard from the side.
What is it?
Joo-hyuk turned his head in the direction the sound was coming from.
One monkey out of the numerous Golden Monkeys surrounding him.
A talking monkey?
Then it’s really precious.
Come to think of it, it’s strange.
Its appearance was somewhat different from normal Golden Monkeys.
First, it was wearing clothes.
A fluorescent vest with ‘Rapid Delivery’ written on it.
However, its outward appearance was shabby.
Its under-skin was revealed desolately as if its fur was forcibly plucked out here and there and.
Ah-ah-ah.
It’s pitiful.
A balding monkey crouching down in a miserable state.
Should I say it’s the appearance of a household head exhausted by mundane life.
A archetypal father figure of the modern era who aged early from feeding his family.
Anyway, since he asked for a candy.
“…dimensional farmhand.”
“Ho-e?”
“Give him a candy or a chocolate.”
“Ho-e.”
Seu-seut!
Receiving the candy Rajix took out and gave.
The Golden Monkey taking off the wrapper with grubby hands and popping it into his mouth.
“Eu-eum, it’s sweet. Heu-heu.”
“…Yes yes, haha.”
The household head monkey’s face was full of a sense of happiness.
The happiness of a single candy.
It’s humble.
“You know, someone called me so I thought it was a delivery call.”
A delivery call?
What kind of deliveries does a monkey do?
“…Is that so.”
“Originally I diligently go to this dimension and that dimension to deliver. Because this is my livelihood.”
It’s sad.
The Golden Monkey-nim of delivery.
“It’s not your first time using the golden hair, right?”
“Th, that’s right.”
How did he know?
This is the second time.
“That’s why the ‘karma (Inyeon / relationship / connection)’ continued. Cause ‘karma’ is a very important concept in Buddhism. Whether it’s the same dimension or different dimensions from each other, a karma that’s formed once is something that cannot be cut.”
Right.
Karma is important.
In any cultural sphere.
But this isn’t the time to be having a conversation like this.
Right now, even at this moment, the silver Archangels are crossing the golden light and rapidly approaching.
“It won’t work with just those clones. Because those guys have a limit too.”
“…….”
“And those machines aren’t simple guys either.”
“…….”
“Eo-hu, swarming (ba-geul-ba-geul), so distracting. I’ll get rid of those guys.”
The delivery monkey waved his hand.
At that.
Peo-peo-peo-peo-peong! Peo-peo-peo-peo-peo-peo-peo-peo-peo-peong!
The Golden Monkey clones disappearing like bubbles.
“Uh-uh…….”
Now the remaining monkey is exactly only one delivery monkey.
Actually, Joo-hyuk knew who this person was from earlier.
“I just have to process those guys, right?”
“Yep!”
The Monkey-nim who took out a toothpick from his ear.
Holding it in his hand, pointing it at the super-massive (Ah wait, didn’t say super-massive, just Archangel. Ah “초대형 대천사” = super-massive Archangel) Archangels, and then.
Ssu-u-u-u-uk!
The toothpick grew longer.
And grew thicker.
With a speed like a ray of light, it pierced through the torsos of the Archangel divided bodies like skewering skewers.
Pu-pu-pu-puk!
Jjae-jae-jae-jaeng!
The Archangels shattering into pieces like glass breaking.
“Oh!”
Flicking his wrist and swinging to the right and.
Jjae-jae-jae-jaeng!
Swinging to the left and.
Jjae-jae-jae-jaeng!
Stabbing forward like kok and.
Jjae-jae-jae-jaeng!
Cheu-pi-pi-pi-pi-pit!
The rushing Archangels that formed groups and reached right up close were.
Like the number 4 batter of a baseball team.
Ssu-u-u-u-u-uk!
Striking and spinning them away all at once with a metal rod bat that had become massive, so.
Pa-ba-ba-ba-ba-bak!
The Archangels were crushed like tofu.
“…Wow!”
Not a fake but the real Golden Monkey.
The nightmare of the Dragon Palace, Plunderer of the Heavenly Peaches, the Jade Emperor’s headache.
The one they say only the Tathagata and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva can control.
Half-buddha, half-yÅkai (monster).
It was precisely the Great Sage Heaven’s Equal-nim.
