Episode 482 – Helter-skelter (4)
The howitzer was fired by laying it on its side. Thanks to Lee Gyeong-bok's idea, the second blasting operation was completed without incident and the third stage was reached.
“Oh, so you made it this far?”
“It’s definitely the third time, so there are more numbers.”
“Well, they’re almost all dead.”
Perhaps due to the continuous bombing, the demon supervisors seemed uneasy. Upon hearing the members' words, they erupted in rage.
“I will take your soul right away!”
“You guys won’t be able to rest for even a moment!”
The supervisor's hand moved, and a magic circle appeared behind the members. He intended to stop the bombing by targeting Genome and Eclipse, who had to hold their ground.
The mines jumped out through the pillars of fire that rose from the magic circle.
“Now I can finally pull the trigger!”
“I’ll block this side.”
Decibel and Lee Kyung-bok couldn't just sit by and watch. The minions were either showered with bullets or ensnared by barriers the moment they appeared.
“Okay, that’s a lie!”
Genome continued his bombing with confidence. This spectacle allowed viewers to enjoy the attack with peace of mind.
-Was it too obvious?
-There are no gaps in the joint thesis between the student and Professor Per!
-Denunna is happy because she now has something to do ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-What the heck is this nonsense?
-Tush tush in siege mode!
-A cannon, a rifle, and even a body armor? Isn't this a total tank?
-Right lol this is real tanking lol
-Purge Day tanking is an offense, not a defense, isn't that common sense?
-What?! Why is a real offense the best defense!?
The third wave didn't take long to end either. With the enemies annihilated, the members lightly clapped in celebration.
“Okay! Wave all cart!”
“Thank you all for your hard work.”
“Whoa! It was easier than I thought! Master’s method really worked!”
“It wasn’t that difficult.”
-The method itself isn't that difficult lol
-Isn't it easy to think about things like this?
-Really lol Who the hell would think of laying a howitzer on its side? lol
-It was a perfect think big, Imari haha
-Howitzers shoot in a straight line, isn't that common sense?
-Howitzer (not curved)
Everyone was overjoyed at the complete victory, even the engineers who were working on it.
“All explosives expended!”
“No one got hurt!?”
“It’s over, it’s all over!”
“As expected from the Hellapomers unit! Thank you!”
“Okay! I’ll confess to her again!”
“No, you have to give that up.”
The engineers cheered at the fact that they had completed the task safely and that everyone had survived.
“Oh, then the compensation will be maximum, right!?”
“Hmm, Purple Lord’s choice was right.”
“Well, we’ll have to wait and see about that a little longer.”
Decibel and Eclipse, as well as Genome's words, raised questions for viewers. But those questions soon turned elsewhere.
“What kind of passage is there?”
After the blasting was over and the dust had settled, the sight beyond the tunnel was different from what I had expected.
-?????
-What kind of facility is it?
-What is it? Hell metal?
-Where did our ore go!?
-How did it happen, how did it happen!?
It wasn't a naturally formed tunnel, but rather a smooth cross-section on all sides. The engineers approached in surprise, then spoke cautiously.
“This is hell metal⋯!”
“A building made of hell metal?”
“Is this why the amount of minerals detected was so high?!”
“But, it doesn’t seem like an abandoned place…?”
The entrance was covered in dust and debris from the blasting, but the area behind it was clean. The engineers retreated hesitantly.
If it's being managed, doesn't that mean there might be demons?
“This, it seems like the third wave isn’t the end?”
“Hmm…! I think the real reward lies beyond this.”
"Oh my, the developers are so cruel! If this keeps up, I'll have to go in!"
“Oh! That’s right! After coming all this way, do I really have to just turn back?”
It didn't take long for all four to agree, and viewers immediately agreed with the decision.

-The blasting operation was just to open the entrance lol
-Immediately occupy
-If I go back here, it won't be Purge Day lol
-No matter what, you have to eat it, Imari.
-Can't we just dismantle the facility even if there's nothing left?
-Really lol Black Earth people can do Ssakparadas
-What's with the Black Earth people? LOL
-It must look that way from Hell's perspective.
So the members immediately rushed in.
* * *
A strange place.
Normally, we would start exploring cautiously, but the members' footsteps were unstoppable.
“Were the engineers wrong⋯?”
“I think it’s right for it to be empty, since there’s no way the Purple Lord would miss it.”
"It doesn't seem like an abandoned place. More like a facility that's currently unused."
This was thanks to Lee Kyung-bok's drone, which was already exploring ahead of them. However, the minimap only revealed the structure of the facility, and no hostile presence was detected.
'It's actually empty.'
There might be an enemy that couldn't be detected, but since it wouldn't be detected by Lee Kyung-bok's senses, he could rest assured.
-Then what do they do here?
-Did the HOXY developers stop making it?
-No lol Then you wouldn't have included the blasting mission lol
-That punk is so cute when he smiles with his mouth shut lol
-I know you're trying not to spoil anything, but you're a grumpy guy!
Only the genie who knew the identity of the facility could keep his mouth shut and smile.
As my doubts grew, I stopped walking.
“Huh? Suddenly!?”
“Hmm…! You finally showed up.”
"That's a significant number. Let's check it out with a drone."
Red and gray dots quickly appeared on the minimap. Lee Kyung-bok calmly moved his hand and then added.
“This is… well, it would be better if you see it for yourself.”
“Oh, that’s right. As expected, the captain knows a thing or two.”
As Genome clapped his hands, curiosity grew among the members and viewers alike. Then, as they reached the end of the passageway, the exit, Decibel and Eclipse cautiously looked outside.
“Wow!? What is this?!”
“This is unexpected again⋯”
The presence of a significant number of demon overseers and sinners was already known through drone detection. Everyone was surprised for another reason.
-What the heck lol why is this place so big?
-What is the tunnel size?
-There are also rails laid?
-What kind of station does it feel like?
-Ah lol it's a mining platform
-What kind of minecart is a boat? Lol
A vast tunnel, a railway track beneath it, and a mine car on top of it, where prisoners were laboriously moving boxes.
"Ah, now I can tell! You all figured it out right away. This is a station that transports hell metal mined from Hell. The place we passed by is a temporary storage facility for hell metal."
As if he had been waiting, Genome opened his mouth. The members turned their attention to him again.
“So what do we do now? Attack?”
“Well, there are too many to attack blindly.”
“But we still have to take care of everything and eat it.”
“Ah, as expected of our captain! He’s so generous.”
Lee Kyung-bok laughed at him and expanded the minimap.
"Of course, I'm not suggesting we just charge in. Unlike the tunnels, this place is spacious, so we'll have plenty of room to maneuver."
“Hmm… That’s true! The reason why it was difficult for me to deal with Hell Junk was because of the limited space.”
“We can’t let the devils get their hands on our resources!”
"We'll target the overseers before the criminals, and reduce their numbers. Without them, the Mine War wouldn't happen. And the criminals wouldn't risk their lives fighting."
While the members were planning their route, the chat quickly came up.
-I can't stand this, Ssakparadas lol
-Ah haha why go through all the trouble of mining? You can just take out what you've mined haha
-The true nature of the Black Unit is revealed right away lol
-???: Hey, didn't I tell you to get out of the mine?
-Satan: Oh my! Please, not this!
-All the local demons are dying, you guys ㅠㅠ
-Yeah~ Just die^^
-And by the way, as expected of a punk, you know the minds of sinners well?
-The dignity of a commanding expert lol
Once the policy was somewhat decided, Genome answered confidently.
"Oh, council members! Don't you know that if you keep your wits about you, you'll never lose a single battle? This is all strategy."
The members smiled and exchanged glances with each other.
“Is everyone ready?”
“Old story!”
“Just give me the instructions.”
Lee Kyung-bok nodded slightly and gestured. With that, the members all ran out at once.
“You piece of trash! Move faster…”
“Oooh, woooooo!”
“What, what is it!?”
When the supervisor who had been yelling fell down with a gunshot, not only the other supervisors but also the prisoners who were carrying the load were thrown into confusion.
“Intruder!”
“What the hell! Where are you running off to!”
"Fight back! Those who run away are guinea pigs!"
The overseer gave orders to the criminals, but as Genome had expected, they were busy running away.
Although the supervisors belatedly tried to summon Hell Junk.
“Where!”
“Ice cream!”
“This one is mine!”
Decibel's bullets, Genome's freezing bullets, and Eclipse's hatchet flew in.
“Good. Everyone is doing well!”
Even though the Pillar of Fire portal opened, Lee Kyung-bok blocked its entry with a barrier. The Hell Junk summoning was impeded, but the number of supervisors was large.
“Get out now, you piece of trash!”
“Kill them!”
“Trampl on all those who run away!”
The supervisors were elated when several Hell Junks were summoned. But the members were not at all intimidated.
“I’m coming to cover!”
“Then I will fight with peace of mind!”
Eclipse, instead, double-boosted and approached in an instant. The pre-attached overclocked drone spun furiously, filling the suit with light.
“I was going crazy because I wanted to die!”
Soon, the Hell Junk and the supervisors were caught in the lightning that came out of the shield, and they trembled.
Eclipse, having exhausted all his strength, boldly turned his shield behind him and held a halberd in one hand and a hatchet in the other.
“Evil is evil!”
Eclipse, having gained freedom, was strong.
In the spacious area, there was no limit to the range of motion. Amplified plasma tore through the hell junk's body, and magnetically driven hand axes began to sweep in all directions.
-Kyaha! This is it lol
-The barbarian knight is coming out!
-Wow force ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ
-Hey, trash! Storm Knight Eclipse is coming!
-There is romance in Lee Kyung-kyung's dual weapons.
-The axe of destruction ㅎㄷㄷ
-Is this the breath of chivalry? LOL
The supervisors then tried to target Eclipse with their mechanical arms.
“No, no! We’ll be the only ones providing covering fire!”
Genome detonated an EMP just in time, rendering them powerless. Then, a barrage of decibels swept through them.
-WA! I'm going crazy!
-Are you crazy for burning your belly? LOL
-Since ancient times, covering fire has been exclusive to Purge Day!
-Really lol This is recorded in the Goguryeo shooting chart
-Where did the shooting stick come from?
The members' actions drastically shifted the balance of power. The supervisors, who had escaped the saturation, recognized their disadvantage and attempted to escape through the portal.
“Hey, are you leaving already?”
Even that was blocked by the barrier formed by Lee Kyung-bok's playful voice.
Despair crossed the demon overseer's face. This wasn't a battle, it was a humiliation.
“This, this⋯!”
“Mine cart! Start the mine cart!”
“Hurry up!”
Among them, the only surviving supervisors were those who were lucky enough to be seated next to the mine cart.
* * *
After eliminating all remaining enemies, the members captured the station. As the Hellforming was completed, the engineers arrived.
“Oh my god… A facility like this for demons?”
“If we had left this alone, how many resources would they have secured⋯”
“The minerals they have stockpiled are enormous!”
“With this much, we can fill half of the mine base warehouse!”
They surveyed the facility, exclaiming in admiration. The minerals the demons hadn't managed to retrieve during the members' raid were now piled up in storage.
-Oh lol Success in Ssakparadas lol
-As expected, democratic delivery is effective!
-Wouldn't that be a big blow to the demons?
-If you block resource mining, I'll be really pissed lol
-Really ㅋㅋ Everyone who has played Craft Star knows ㅋㅋ
-If I donate all of this, the NPCs will probably become really strong too?
Viewers also expressed satisfaction with the good news the engineers delivered. The members all laughed, but Lee Kyung-bok remained silent.
“Master?”
“Purple Lord, why are you like that?”
“Oh, by any chance, Captain, isn’t this a trivial matter by your standards?”
At Genome's question, Lee Kyung-bok laughed and waved his hand.
“No, that’s not it. I just have a few regrets.”
Everyone's eyes widened at that answer. We achieved a complete victory without any casualties and secured a large amount of resources. So what's there to regret?
"Among those supervisors, some escaped in a mine cart, right? There was some cargo on top of it, too. It's a shame we couldn't get it all."
-No lol, that's all for the Ssakparadas?
-Black company CEO) He keeps wanting something
-Is this the real black mind?
-But that's just too much, lol
-Right, lol, that's right, you can't eat that.
Lee Kyung-bok smiled at the chat window reaction and glanced away.
His regret wasn't that he hadn't prepared in advance. If there had been another way, he would have instinctively sensed it.
'I think there's a way.'
Rather, it was because I felt like I could obtain the mineral now. And that energy was emanating from the minecarts still at the station.
“If I activate this, wouldn’t I be able to chase after it?”
"yes?"
“Purple Lord, isn’t your mission over?”
The other members laughed at that question, but Genome clapped his hands loudly.
"Wow, our captain really has a different mindset. It's only his first time, but he's acting like a seasoned veteran. He has no intention of taking a break."
Everyone's attention turned to him. What does this mean?
“Well, as you all know, the phase transition happens when the mission ends, right?”
“Oh, right? Now it’s our turn to defend, right?”
"Not yet. In other words, if you don't complete the mission, you won't be able to transition to the next phase."
“The mission isn’t over until you return⋯?”
Genome snapped his fingers and laughed.
"That's right! Some missions can be completed directly through a link."
"A linked mission? No, really? Can you really chase after this on this?"
"Yes. This isn't a spoiler, and it's pretty obvious, so I'll explain. Where does this rail lead?"
“Well, that’s where the minerals are transported… Hmm! There must be a storage facility where they ultimately arrive!”
"That's right! This rail connects to a hub where the demons gather the minerals they've mined from various mines! It leads to a mission to conquer that hub!"
The chat window was abuzz with the genome's confirmation.
-Oh? Really?
-Where more minerals are gathered later!?
-Ssakparadas double event lol
-How can you endure this?
-Immediate departure
-Get rid of the devil shacks lol
-At this point, aren't the devils who don't offer first bad?
-Ah haha if you don't want to get purged then behave yourself
-What the heck lol. Do demons really live in the chat window?
But the members quickly rolled their eyes.
“No, I think the border would be even more severe at that level⋯”
“It’s an important place, so it’s clear that security will be tighter.”
"That's right. That's why I brought up the veterans. They want to skip the defensive phase to advance quickly and reap more rewards. Linking up right away isn't something most people would do."
Genome meant it as a warning, but it made Lee Gyeong-bok smile.
“Ahem, if it’s alright with you all, I’ll vote for the motion to proceed.”
As Lee Gyeong-bok said this and got on the tram, everyone laughed along with him.
-Look at this guy's immediate reaction.
-???: What? Difficult? (smiles)
-The aggression behavior just came out lol
-Immediately. City. God. Man
-It's common sense to do veteran content in the first round, right?
-Godflu's first round again?
-Plus it's a perfect short cut lol
-Has the zero-back minecart arrived?
The same was true for the members. Decibel was the first to board the minecart.
“There’s no reason to defend when you can attack!”
“Well, we can’t give these demons a chance to defend themselves.”
The genome chuckled as Eclipse followed right behind.
"Oh my, I knew I'd do this again. People are so fearless. Me first!"
He also pretended not to win and got on the train.
-ㅇㄷㄴㅂㅌ!
-Ugh lol I see you're subtly asking questions
-Hyung? It's already been decided by majority vote, isn't it too ugly?
-Really lol You didn't catch the running angle?
-Ah haha, just be quiet and take it easy
As all four climbed aboard, the minecart began to move slowly. As it began to pick up speed, the chatter in the area also picked up speed.
-Let's go, Black Lightning!
-Hehehe! It's all ours!
-Really ㅋㅋ Do I have to tell you half-assedly? ㅋㅋ
-Taking away the devil's things, that's Helaforming (nods)
-Satan: Eek! Where the hell are we supposed to go!
-Oh lol, do you know the devils' circumstances?
-Helpfullification!
The demons were gradually losing their place in hell.
