Episode 186. The Ruler of Seoul (2)
Kang Si-on put Jin Jae-hee down on the riverside and gave an order to Hwang Min-jae, who was approaching him.
“Take care of Jin Jae-hee.”
"yes."
Hwang Min-jae followed the order. As he gave instructions, other personnel approached the fallen Jin Jae-hee and began to care for her.
The enemy's expected movement and infiltration route has been determined.
Since the route taken by the guys coming underground is obvious anyway, we will send troops there and cut off their slim supply route.
Sweep out the remaining forces.
Kang Shi-on now made his final move.
All that remained was the steps towards victory.
Kang Shi-on approached the riverside.
The commanders and soldiers of each unit were gathered there.
Among those soldiers was Jin Jae-hee's friend, Lee Ho-seung.
Kang Shi-on shouted orders at them.
“The moment the bridge breaks, all preparations are complete. All that remains is to unleash our courage. South of the Han River, wipe out all the remaining enemy forces. I will give it my all, so give it your all too. Fight for yourselves!”
Kang Shi-on clenched his fist and held it, and all the commanders and soldiers roared in response.
“Waaa …
“Eeeeeeeeeeeee-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Their cheers were tremendous.
The screams of the hunters being eaten by Sledyman in the Han River were so great that they were completely drowned out.
Kang Shi-on immediately stretched out his hand and turned the sphere into a bell.
Soon, a refreshing bell sound rang throughout the unit.
The ogres raised their heads after hearing their master's command.
“Kill them. Every single one of them… …! We are the masters of Seoul.”
Kang Shi-on was confident.
Surviving the five-year conflict and knowing that he would definitely be the winner of this four-way battle.
* * *
As the full moon pattern created by Kang Shi-on's sphere appeared in the distant sky, Choi Myeong-jun immediately moved with his elite forces.
Choi Myeong-jun and his team members blackened their faces with charcoal and left the building with determination.
Already on the streets, numerous hunters were moving towards the Han River, carrying spears and swords.
Their urgent voices were heard.
“I heard that Mapo Bridge collapsed!”
“Those kids! Are they crazy? Don’t they know that if Mapo Bridge collapses, they’ll be at a loss too?”
“Move quickly! This is the President’s order to move all troops toward the Han River!”
“You fu*king bastards! I’ll kill you all!”
Choi Myeong-jun waited for the hunters to move, then hurriedly crossed the road.
The 800 elite soldiers moved in unison at Choi Myeong-jun's single command.
Choi Myeong-jun did not let his guard down.
Slowly, stealthily and surely, we moved towards the enemy's final stronghold.
800 people moved as if they were one body.
When Choi Myung-jun told me to stop, I stopped. When he told me to move, I moved. When he told me to hold my breath, I held it.
The elite soldiers, who had received advanced training, were able to communicate with each other without having to speak.
If there were hunters guarding the path in the middle, they would assassinate them in an instant.
Whirik- squeak!
“Keuk… … !”
“Uuuugh… … !”
Choi Myeong-jun captured one hunter.
The hunter struggled to escape, but the elite soldiers pressed her even harder.
Choi Myeong-jun asked while holding a knife to the hunter's neck.
“If you just answer my questions, I’ll let you live. If not, I’ll gouge out your eyes one by one and kill you as painfully as possible.”
The captured hunter nodded with tears in his eyes.
“Is the monster of Gangbuk really in Gyeongbokgung Palace?”
The hunter didn't answer, but only blinked back tears.
Then, without hesitation, Choi Myeong-jun stabbed the hunter in the eye with his sword.
Blood gushed out and the hunter screamed in pain.
But the elite soldiers had their mouths tightly shut, so no sound escaped.
Choi Myeong-jun asked back.
“This is your last chance. Even if you don’t say anything, I can catch someone else and ask them. Is the monster from Gangbuk really in Gyeongbokgung Palace?”
The hunter nodded vigorously, bleeding.
Immediately after hearing those words, Choi Myeong-jun cut off her neck.
Blood gushed out and strength left her body.
Actually, there was no need to ask.
Anyway, Choi Myeong-jun knew.
But this was just a final check before proceeding with the full-scale operation.
Choi Myeong-jun ordered his men to proceed with the operation again.
The elite troops moved again.

They managed to get to Gyeongbokgung Palace in one night.
And unlike Gyeongbokgung Palace, which was damaged in several places, the monster's body was clearly visible.
No matter how hard they tried to cover it with a cloth, the monster was clearly visible.
Of course, it was different from Man-gyeong's in size.
The monster of Man-gyeong was much bigger and better looking.
As Kang Shi-on had expected, the Northern King did not have the power to control the monster.
If left alone, the monster would naturally become ill and die, looking so weak.
Choi Myeong-jun looked around the place.
'The security is tight.'
There were many hunters guarding Gyeongbokgung Palace.
And they looked very different from other hunters.
They were disorganized and each wore different clothing and weapons.
But Choi Myeong-jun had no need to hesitate.
Choi Myeong-jun ordered them to draw their weapons.
Then, all the soldiers simultaneously took out their swords.
Until now, the weapon had been hidden in the bosom to hide the blade's glare reflecting off the light.
There was no need to hide it anymore.
Because the long-awaited battle has begun.
Choi Myeong-jun didn't even give an order.
They moved on their own.
Since there were enemies with guns up front, we had to be extremely careful.
The Northern King's forces also seemed to be complacent, as there were less than ten hunters holding guns.
One of the elite soldiers grabbed the dagger blade and threw it at the shooter from a distance of 20 meters.
Whirik- phukk!
The flying dagger hit the shooter's neck squarely.
It was a simple assassination.
As their comrades died, the hunters with guns took aim and stood guard, but it was too late.
Whirik- thump thump thump thump!!!
The daggers thrown by the elite troops hit their targets accurately.
Dagger throwing was also an initiation procedure for elite members.
That way, they could instantly subdue their enemies with precise accuracy.
Choi Myeong-jun walked slowly to the main gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Dozens of elite soldiers were walking side by side around him.
Not only that, other elite troops even climbed over the palace walls and went inside in one go.
800 men was a small number for a military unit.
But it's different when it comes to assassins.
800 assassins. That's an absurdly large number, enough to change the course of a war.
“You guys-! What the!”
“Eww!”
“fu*k! Bring me the gun!”
I could hear fighting beyond the wall.
Choi Myeong-jun opened the palace gate and entered the inner park.
But Choi Myeong-jun's elite unit also had complacent thoughts.
Taang-! Boom!
A bullet flew and struck Choi Myung-jun in the right abdomen.
“… … .”
Choi Myung-jun staggered and touched the bright red blood flowing out of his stomach.
He looked ahead.
The elite force was engaging in combat with the internal security hunters.
I could tell at a glance.
The security hunters inside are professionally trained.
Moreover, they were fighting almost on equal footing with the elite force.
Choi Myung-jun's gunshot wound began to heal.
He looked around and realized that his elite force was slowly being pushed back.
Choi Myeong-jun thought.
‘I think it was Gangbuk… … .’
According to what my brother said, Gangbuk was a place where organized crime members formed small groups and eventually went through rounds until one of them became the king.
It couldn't be determined.
However, Choi Myeong-jun's older brother, who he had previously served, was also running a violent organization based in Gangbuk.
That's why Choi Myeong-jun was cautious about this expedition.
Choi Myeong-jun, who first encountered Kang Si-on at Manan Police Station, had a reason for having to leave the detention center.
That was to go and pick up my older brother.
The older brother was Choi Myeong-jun's benefactor.
Because he was the one who supported him when he was just a neighborhood punk, and he was the first person to recognize his abilities.
Choi Myeong-jun swore to give his life to his older brother and has lived with him ever since.
But as I continued to hang out with Kang Si-on, I became oblivious to my older brother's whereabouts and forgot about him.
But now I remember it clearly.
Choi Myeong-jun organized his thoughts.
'I can't say for sure. They might just be other family members.'
Organized crime syndicate, many organizations have disbanded in the 21st century, but some organizations have continued to exist.
Choi Myeong-jun hoped that the king of Gangbuk here was not his older brother.
"ha……."
Red smoke leaked out from Choi Myeong-jun's mouth.
His artifact ability is Berserker.
It didn't have the flashy impact of Jin Jae-hee, nor the practicality of Choi Hyun-ji.
The reason this artifact was called the God of War was simple.
The more you get hurt, the more superhuman strength you can develop.
Especially in situations where there were many people, Choi Myeong-jun's power was absolute.
As Choi Myeong-jun rushed in, the elite troops nearby also rushed in to help their comrade.
Whirik- Whirik!!!!
Choi Myeong-jun rushed at one of the hunters in one breath and twisted his neck.
A nearby hunter, startled, swung his sword at Choi Myung-jun.
“This X, X foot!”
Phew-!
The knife went straight into Choi Myung-jun's side, and the more it did that, the stronger he became.
Boohoo- bang!!!
The hunter's face caved in with a simple punch from Choi Myung-jun.
The hunter fell to the ground, blood spraying everywhere.
The hunter, holding the pistol again, fired a bullet.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The bullets fired by the hunter each hit Choi Myung-jun in the shoulder, thigh, and ribs.
If it was an ordinary person, the injury would have been so serious that he would have been subdued in an instant.
But the more he got hurt, the faster and stronger he became.
Boohoo-! Kwajik!!!
Choi Myung-jun's fist has now become powerful enough to explode his target, rather than just sink them.
Every time he swung his fist, shattered human skulls would explode in all directions.
Choi Myeong-jun didn't stop.
He swung his fist as soon as he saw the guards.
Boohoo-, crunch!
Boohoo!, phew!
Now his fists are more powerful than normal bullets.
I just swung my fist, and there was a loud explosion.
No matter how well-trained the guards guarding the monster were, they were no match for Choi Myung-jun.
Choi Myeong-jun was still slaughtering enemies at the front line.
With only his bare fists, he reduced hunters with pistols, hunters with knives, and even hunters who rushed at him in groups to blood.
Even before gaining artifact abilities, Choi Myung-jun was already a monster.
The moment such a monster gains artifact abilities, it becomes a god.
God of war.
As soon as the Gyeongbokgung Palace security force was organized, one of the elite soldiers approached Choi Myeong-jun and reported.
“Captain. 105 men are dead, and about 200 are injured. And there are no enemies left.”
“… … .”
Choi Myeong-jun looked around.
Their blood and corpses were strewn all over Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Choi Myeong-jun exhaled deeply.
There was still one space left to check.
Choi Myeong-jun gave an order to his subordinate.
“Kill the monster.”
"yes."
Choi Myeong-jun left those words behind and walked forward.
The captain asked him as he walked away.
“Where are you going?”
But Choi Myeong-jun did not answer.
The place he was headed to was Geunjeongjeon.
* * *
Geunjeongjeon Hall at Gyeongbokgung Palace.
It was originally a space where the king's coronation ceremony and other ceremonies were held during the Joseon Dynasty.
The league has been in progress for quite some time now, and its form has been maintained to some extent, and inside Geunjeongjeon there is a throne where the king sits.
The throne was a seat reserved only for the king of northern Seoul.
There was an old man sitting there.
He was a middle-aged man, close to old age, with graying hair.
King Kim Guk-jong of the North.
He was the former leader of the Black Dragon Sect, and is now a man who has been conquered by the Metro forces and has become the leader's sword.
Kim Guk-jong had a huge black dragon tattoo on his back.
Just like Choi Myeong-jun.
Kim Guk-jong sat on the throne like a king, looking down.
Choi Myeong-jun walked up to Geunjeongjeon.
His heavy footsteps echoed throughout Geunjeongjeon.
Choi Myeong-jun said.
“… …I hoped that wasn’t the case.”
Kim Guk-jong did not answer.
After a moment of silence, Choi Myeong-jun spoke again.
“… … I really hoped that wasn’t the case.”
Still, Kim Guk-jong did not answer, and Choi Myeong-jun finally entered Geunjeongjeon.
There was blood on the path he walked.
All of them were killing guards, and their bodies were covered in blood.
Choi Myung-jun's blood was evaporating into a bright red gas.
He looked up at Kim Guk-jong and spoke pitifully.
“… …Big brother.”
Choi Myeong-jun's face was distorted with sadness.
