Hiding a Logistics Center in the Apocalypse – Part 20
(Fire Ball (2))
A dark palace where not a single ounce of light enters.
In the audience room, which was lined with a long corridor, a lonely being was guarding the throne.
Flutter.
As he walked, the black drapery he was wearing scraped the floor.
Armor that rattles and creaks.
Above it, the red light of Baekgol's eyes was cast.
"her···"
He let out a short sigh.
I heard the bad news from my subordinate.
Of course, it wasn't a true death.
For the knights of Camelot, the very concept of life was non-existent.
The word ghost alone was enough to describe them.
It was the very spirit of that phantom, the skeleton knight Gwaine, that had returned to him.
The soul was conveyed.
-Beware of the wizard.
But the King of Knights denied that.
“No way. A wizard? Those arrogant bastards wouldn’t be going around rummaging through a hole-in-the-wall shop like this.”
It was an Earth dimension where 'development' had just begun.
The ranks that the Multidimensional Chamber of Commerce allows entry to are limited to ranks 9 through 8.
In order to meet these tight conditions, even the King of Knights, who was originally ranked 5th, had to endure a humiliating downgrade.
On the other hand, what kind of beings are wizards?
They were a people who were obsessed with aristocratic pride and who valued rank and honor more than their lives.
It was highly unlikely that the King of Knights would seek out Earth in such a mean manner as himself.
Profit-
Another spirit hovered around him.
Among the ghosts that followed the King of Knights, the most powerful spirit was Lancelot.
“It seems he is as bold as his lord.”
“That must be it… He’s planning to take over this place before the liberalization becomes complete.”
“How do you plan to deal with it?”
"hmm···"
The King of Knights thought for a moment.
There was no way that he would commit such an outrageous act that would lead to a downgrade on a dimensional level.
It must have been a reckless solo action by a sorcerer whose fortune had risen to a fever pitch.
I briefly thought about gathering the knights and dealing with the bastard, but I soon shook my head.
“Let it be. It happened outside the castle anyway. Above all… Now is not the time for that.”
“···You mean ‘harvest’?”
“Yes. It’s a shame what happened to Gwaine… but it’ll be fine once I get the reinforcing stone again. The ‘maturation’ is slowly coming to an end.”
Camelot, a castle built in the middle of Seoul.
It was a kind of crucible of life.
Because you could make a strengthening stone in exchange for the creatures contained within it.
In other words, for the King of Knights, the problem of harvesting reinforcement stones through Camelot was much more urgent than dealing with the random flies that had intervened.
“Just a little more… Just a little more. This time, I’m going to make it big.”
The King of Knights, wrapped in excitement unknown to others.
Meanwhile, Lancelot, who had sensed something, told him.
“···Something has entered the castle. It seems to be humans.”
“It’s that toy again. They’re really curious. In the end, they’re all destined to die···”
“What should we do?”
“Leave it alone. The roof will go up soon anyway. There will just be more food to feed Camelot.”
Anyway, all the people in this castle were rats caught in poison.
Once the 'maturation' is complete, it will become the offering on its own.
Yes, the King of Knights forgot.
A visit from an unfamiliar guest.
***
Doo doo doo doo doo-!
The Black Hawk's propeller roared.
Kkeeek!
A few wyverns appeared and hovered around, but···
Whoosh! Whoosh!
I swung a few flaming bowling balls around and they were quickly dispersed.
Since the castle of the King of Knights stretched across Namsan Mountain and all the way to Myeongdong, it took less than ten minutes to arrive.
The castle that appeared before my eyes.
But the castle walls were actually desolate.
If it were a well-known medieval castle wall, there would have been troops guarding the top, but the castle of the knight king did not seem to have been designed that way from the beginning.

We arrived at Euljiro 4-ga where my younger sister's studio was.
With Lee Yong-soo's graceful driving skills at the forefront, he slowly entered a large hole in the ceiling of the castle wall that looked like a hole in a sports stadium.
Shadows soon poured down on our bedsides.
And immediately, the attack began.
Kagagagagak!
It started with a propeller.
Squeak!
Queek!
A flock of black bats swarmed around, flying madly toward the propeller.
The rapidly rotating propellers tore at their flesh, but they did not hesitate to die.
Doo doo doo doo-!
I shot them with my rifle to knock them off, but there were just too many of them.
It was also impossible to attack the ones stuck to the rotor.
If we're not careful, we could easily break the rotor with our own hands.
Dduk!
Thump thump!
The helicopter continued to sway, unable to overcome their power.
Yongsu Lee showed his wit and gradually got closer to his sister's studio apartment, but…
Kak!
The tip of a wing got caught on the tall card company building at the Jongno 4-ga intersection.
Phew!
The helicopter was rocking back and forth…
In the end, our fate was to fall.
Wheein!
I quickly used <Recover Product>.
The target is Lee Yong-soo and me.
Slurp!
The two of us entered a subspace in the blink of an eye.
Meanwhile, the scenery outside the portal was flipping back and forth several times.
And at the end of it…
Phew!
As if to conclude an action scene, the Black Hawk received from the military met a tragic end with an explosion.
Of course, the explosion did not flow into this subspace.
Anyway, a landing was a landing.
Even though it wasn't successful.
[Standard household powder fire extinguisher 3.3kg, price is 19,900 won.]
We slowly exited the helicopter, each holding a fire extinguisher and putting out the blazing fire.
The bats had disappeared without a trace, perhaps because they thought we had been killed in the explosion.
The dead bodies of bats scattered here and there.
I used <Product Recovery> to get magic stones economically.
Lighting stores fill every corner.
As I turned around one of them, I came across a road leading to my younger sister's officetel.
The distance wasn't that far, but…
Unfortunately, it wasn't even open.
Not only the skeletons we had seen before, but also wild dogs with their entire bodies rotting and falling apart like zombies greeted us.
Even though it was as big as a person, I didn't want to get too close to it because it was drooling green saliva.
Of course it wasn't threatening.
You could throw a bowling ball at them and burn them to death.
"where···"
But, it was just when I was about to start attacking.
Phew!
Spang!
A cheerful sound came from the other side of the street.
As if to match the beat, the skeleton's skull spun around and soared into the sky.
Squeak!
Gang!
Below, zombie dogs kicked from side to side, spraying green spray around the alley.
The eyes of the guys filling the alley all turned back, but···
Dalgrak!
Wake up!
Soon, they all became cold corpses decorating the streets.
In that way, I was able to face the owner of the sound.
“···Kim Sol!”
Her true identity is Kim Sisters #2.
She was my little sister.
.
.
.
childhood.
If the older sister simply was bad at studying, the younger sister was a total failure, disappointing all expectations regarding her studies.
Instead, he displayed unparalleled athletic skills, and he began to work as a martial artist from a young age, making use of the talent he discovered early on.
That fame was so great that my nickname was fixed as 'Kim Sol's Little Sister' throughout my middle school years, and whenever I ran into any high school punks on the street, they would part like the Red Sea just by mentioning the name Kim Sol.
They say with power comes great responsibility.
Kim Sol never used her powers recklessly, and thanks to that, I have never heard of her being called out for hitting someone.
Of course, whether that's true or not, for me···
“Kim Jeong-gyeom, if you don’t want to lose, put down your computer and come out.”
He was more like a brother to me than anyone else.
.
.
.
Two women facing each other.
The Kim Sisters reunite.
“···It’s been a while, No. 1.”
“You’ve gotten stronger since I last saw you, No. 2···”
The two people shared a light hug and then bumped fists.
It was the moment when the two missing legs of the combined robot finally became one.
The eldest sister was fighting against the tyranny of the head of the internal medicine department, and the younger sister, Kim Sol, was dealing with the sudden destruction by beating up skeletons and zombies like rats.
Both of them were new women who were strong enough to survive this apocalyptic era.
Kim Sol said she ran out of the house after seeing a helicopter crash out of nowhere.
“Well… I usually go for a walk at this time. I just came out to do something.”
"walk···?"
A walk in the apocalypse.
Kim Sol lived in a completely different world.
Of course, it didn't seem like it was all just fun.
“Have you heard from Mom and Dad? There’s some kind of strange wall going up here, and the phone doesn’t even work… Do you remember the last time I contacted you?”
“The phone doesn’t work outside either. So I’m slowly moving upwards now.”
I introduced myself to Yongsu Lee, who was with me, and explained about my awakened subspace abilities.
Her reaction was one of surprise.
“No, how can that be…? What level are you?”
Her voice was raised, as if this was all a game.
But, the one who was really surprised was me.
“···Level 5?”
“Why are you so surprised? You just need to collect 250 magic stones···”
She said that 50 magic stones were required for each level-up, and that up until now, the amount required had never increased as she leveled up.
It seems that the amount of magic stone required for each awakened ability is different for each person.
Considering that the number of uses was also 50, it seemed that my case was special, requiring 100 or 1,000 magic stones.
But even so, I couldn't help but acknowledge the incredible strength of Kim Sol, who had obtained 250 magic stones on her own.
Just a moment ago, I witnessed with my own eyes a passageway filled with monsters being cleared away.
Like it or not, I couldn't help but pick up the money that fell on the ground.
As I was using the product recovery to pick out only the magic stones and suck them up, Kim Sol looked at me with gloomy eyes.
“···Did you cheat alone? Why did it turn out like this?”
“It would be long to explain.”
“This is really a scam···”
She kicked the bone lying on the floor with a grumbling expression, looking at the world as if it were unreasonable.
That was when.
Wedge!
A sharp object flew towards me,
Taaang!
Kim Sol blocked it with a punch.
It was truly ghostly speed.
According to Kim Sol's explanation, the name of the ability she awakened was <Barrier>.
It was an ability that allowed her to freely create a defensive barrier that touched any part of her body, and Kim Sol was cleverly utilizing this in both offense and defense.
As expected, her fist was dyed golden.
The sharp object was a hand.
To be precise, it was another skeleton knight in armor, with both hands extended like whips.
Phage crackle-!
Blue sparks shot out from the knuckles of his fingers, sharp as needles, as if they had been given electrical properties.
Surprisingly, Kim Sol seemed to be familiar with the guy.
“Here he comes again. Isn’t that it? He can talk too?”
I knew that, but I'm surprised I'm still alive after hearing that.
I asked.
“···Can you win?”
“No? No matter how much you beat him, he won’t die. But still···”
Kaang!
Kim Sol deflected the bastard's sharp attack.
Then he answered.
“···I’ve never lost.”
Despite being blocked several times, the Skeleton Knight continued his attacks.
A rush of attacks towards Kim Sol.
Kim Sol, who was bending down lightly, stabbed the guy in the stomach with a low uppercut, but…
Thud!
It didn't seem like much of a hit had been done on him.
Kim Sol shouted at me.
“If you keep giving and receiving, I can do it, but… what should I do? Should I go into your subspace or something?”
As expected, another skeleton knight, this one with a formidable build like Gwaine's.
Of course, there was a way to escape to subspace with my little sister, but coincidentally, I had acquired a new weapon in the meantime.
“Can you tie his feet for a moment?”
"why?"
“I think I might be able to catch it if I do it right.”
Taang! Bang!
Kim Sol threw her fists one after another, and each time, a crisp, cracking sound cut through the air.
An attack that didn't do much damage in the first place.
The guy had completely given up on defense and was just focusing on waiting for an opportunity.
The timing to stick your fingertips in.
But there was another timing.
As soon as I gave the signal, Kim Sol stepped away from the guy…
Wedge!
Four lit bowling balls hurtled towards him.
On the other hand, the guy looked surprised.
He muttered in a daze, looking at the flying flames.
“Fireball···?”
Kwakwakwang!
The ensuing binge.
“No, this is······”
When the bastard's vain voice slowly dispersed along with the dusty smoke…
The bastard was lying there with his armor shattered.
I also muttered in a daze.
“···You’re going to die like this?”
Between the bastard's armor, a blue-glowing reinforcing stone came into view.
