#Episode 72. Combat Experiment
The battle began with the ogre’s roar.
-Kuaaaa …
Phew-!
The fireball that rose into the air hit the ogre in the face.
Flames rose and gray fog rose.
The headmaster shouted in excitement as he witnessed the power of the catapult that hit the ogre’s face with his own eyes.
“Joe, good! Yeah!”
But the battle was not over.
The principal quickly ordered a reload.
At the command of the principal, the soldiers of the Second Manan Force hurried to reload.
Some teachers evacuated the children into the school.
The teachers at the school were basically following orders from the principal, but the safety of the children came first.
But the corrupt principal and some teachers didn’t care about the children.
I just focused on the monster in front of me.
-Kuuuuu… … !
The ogre, who was thought to have been defeated, quickly came to his senses.
Thick, ash-colored smoke was rising from every part of his body, but the alien creature before his eyes did not move.
Rather, he seemed even more angry and roared.
-Kuaaaa …
It was a terrible scream that shook the heavens and the earth and filled the city.
It was a loud cry that was enough to make people cringe when they first heard it.
Even though he had only screamed, it was terrifying to the human who was the prey.
Thump, thump, thump, thump… … !
The ogre began to run forward again.
The barricade I had built towards the main gate was completely useless against the ogres.
The ogre pushed forward, crushing everything in its path.
The principal, who was confronted with this right in front of him, screamed.
“Shoot! Shoot! Kill him! Kill him!!!”
Drrrrrr – shushushushuk!
As the ogre ran, the sky filled with projectiles.
The stones that floated into the sky rained down on the ogres like rain.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo! Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!
The size of one stone was the size of a soccer ball.
It would normally kill a human instantly, but to an ogre, it was just a small hailstone.
The ogre, who had advanced through all that hail, raised both his hands in the air.
-Kuaaaa …
“… … !”
“… … Ugh … … Ugh!!!!”
The teachers of Manan who were operating the catapults were busy running away.
And then the ogre clenched his two raised hands tightly and in an instant destroyed the catapult they had toiled to make for a year.
Kwa-ang!!!!!!!!
It was literally torn to pieces.
It was an overwhelming force that could even crush a city bus flat.
The ogre didn’t stop there, but continued to slingshot the dented catapults indiscriminately.
A few brave teachers took up Molotov cocktails and spears and charged at the ogres.
Just like primitive people hunting mammoths in ancient times.
Clang-! Clang… … !
In an instant, flames rose up in this area, and only their desperate cries filled the air.
The elementary school playground, where children were supposed to run and play, now resembled a battlefield.
Boom, boom, boom!
The ogre continued to strike the humans with his fists.
Every time he swung his sword, countless people were blown into the air.
A one-sided battle ensued.
But their resistance was not ineffective.
As the battle continued, the Ogre’s health gradually decreased, and the soldiers of the 2nd force, who noticed this, focused their remaining firepower on the Ogre.
Molotov cocktails and javelins kept flying.
The teachers of the second Manan force pushed back the ogres.
And finally, they took down the giant monster.
thud!
The ogre collapsed on the playground, causing a heavy snow storm.
The principal did not miss this opportunity.
“Just a little more… … !”
“You little monster, kill me!!!”
“All charge-!!!”
Two groups of people began to climb onto the fallen ogre.

A desperate scream rang out, and people simultaneously thrust their spears into the creature’s body.
Pok, pok, pok, pok-!
Like the dwarves hunting the giants in Gulliver’s Travels, they never stopped stabbing.
The principal did not give up and climbed onto the ogre with the trophy.
“Die! Die! You freak! You freak!”
Thud! Thud! Thud!
A trophy that school kids used to win.
It was a trophy received by children from Anyang Elementary School at the National Elementary School Swimming Competition.
But now the trophy has been used as a weapon by the principal.
It uses the sharp end as a weapon.
Soon the ogre’s life came to an end.
The ogre slumped over and died with difficulty.
The headmaster on the ogre’s belly roared with confidence in victory.
“Poohahahahaha! Look at this! We won!!! Those 1st Force guys aren’t that great either!”
There were countless corpses surrounding him, sacrificed to catch a single ogre, but the headmaster was roaring with immediate victory.
But that was a mistake.
“Poohahaha… … ! Puhahahahahahaha! … … Ugh!”
That was when.
Pyeong-.
A small hole appeared on the forehead of the roaring principal.
“… … .”
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A small iron ball pierced the principal’s forehead and floated in the air.
The steel balls had a destructive penetrating power similar to that of bullets.
Gulp.
A red stream of blood ran down the principal’s wrinkled forehead.
“Keuk… … Huh… … Huh… … !”
The principal fell forward along with the ogre.
The soldiers of the 2nd force were startled and were looking for the person who fired the projectile.
And soon they all looked at one place.
“… … .”
At the main gate, where a blizzard and flames were raging, a man was walking towards him.
It was Kang Shi-on who had awakened through training over the past year.
* * *
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Around Zion there were numerous spheres rotating.
The soldiers were frozen in place, awestruck by his overwhelming majesty and gait.
A projectile that flew in without a sound.
Its destructive power was comparable to that of a bullet.
A group of people gathered in one place, tearing off car doors and using them as shields.
“Don’t be afraid… …! There’s only one enemy at most!”
“Get rid of it!!!”
“Kill me!!!!”
The shield-bearers began to advance little by little.
Dozens of men regrouped and slowly advanced through the burning playground.
There was only one person who stood against them.
Whirik-.
Zion wiggled his fingers.
Then dozens of spheres that had been circling around him soared into the sky.
The spheres were all artifacts that received orders from Zion.
Over the past year, Zion has been honing the movement, destructive power, and speed of the sphere from Jaehee.
The ability to utilize artifacts was proportional only to the amount of practice.
Now his skills are at a level that surpasses most players.
It was all thanks to Jin Jae-hee’s guidance.
As Zion dropped his finger down, spheres began to rain down from the sky towards the soldiers.
Before his sphere, shields were helpless, and human flesh was scattered like pudding.
Pavabababababababak-!!!!!!!!!!
They were crushed to death without even a single scream.
The Ogre’s power was outstanding.
Even though he was only one, he neutralized the core force of the Manan Second Force.
He also killed dozens of people and took enemy fire with his entire body.
But Zion was far superior to the Ogre’s power.
Pavabababababak-!!!!!
According to the movement of Zion’s hand.
Pavababababak!!!!
As per his command.
Dudududududududuk!!!!!
The sphere flew freely, slaughtering all the soldiers with weapons in a brutal manner.
Zion did not kill civilians.
Soldiers of the dispirited forces did not attack, but only killed those who rushed at them.
The second round of the league was conducted differently from the first round.
In round 1, when the king died, everyone in his faction died.
But things are different from round 2 onwards.
It’s about taking everything from the opposing monarch.
Territory, resources, gold, and achievement points.
The surviving residents of the two forces were all valuable resources for Zion’s forces.
“… … .”
After some massacre.
Only after he had killed all the soldiers gathered in the exercise yard did his sphere stop.
It was a horrific scene.
Zion’s attacks were so merciless that it was fortunate for soldiers to be killed by ogres.
‘… …Can the snails be organized on a specific line?’
Zion gathered the sphere.
Then, dozens of spheres scattered all over the playground instantly gathered into Zion’s grasp.
This is the power of artifacts.
It was the overwhelming power of Zion.
‘There was no need to use ‘awakening’.’
There was no need for Zion to use her newly awakened powers.
Zion sighed after finishing everything.
But that was then.
“?!”
Phew-.
Feeling the urge to live, Zion immediately reached out his hand.
Then the spheres dispersed again and shot towards the target.
But when Zion discovered the enemy, he immediately clenched his fist.
Towering.
At Zion’s command, the spheres that were attacking the enemy stopped in midair.
I could hear the children sobbing.
“… … .”
“… … Khuuuu. Heuuuu.”
“Bad… … brother… … bad brother… … !!!”
There, children were glaring at Zion, holding crude spears and crying.
They were children belonging to the second Manan force.
And they will be friends of Zion’s younger brother, Junho.
Junho was also in Class 1, Grade 6 at Anyang Elementary School.
“Our teacher… … ! Our teacher… … !”
“You scoundrel! You scoundrel… … !”
“Save me… … ! Save me… … !”
The children cried and cried out to Zion, and Zion took the sphere away.
From a distance, Jin Jae-hee and Choi Myeong-jun’s units were approaching to clear the battlefield.
Behind him, three ogres were following him, stomping along.
Zion looked at them and then at the already fallen ogre.
-Gulp… … Ugh… … Kurururur… … !
The bastard squirmed for a while, then raised his upper body again.
An ogre’s body regenerates no matter how damaged it is.
Until the bastard’s head is cut off.
This is how the punitive war against the second Manan force ended.
Man-gyeong, the damage to Zion’s forces is zero.
There was none at all.
* * *
“cold?”
“no…….”
“hungry?”
“no…….”
Jin Jae-hee slowly entered the playground.
And he looked toward Zion.
Zion was crouching down, comforting a crying girl.
Jaehee slowly approached him.
However, Choi Myung-jun quickly passed Jin Jae-hee and approached Sion first.
“Brother-! This is really awesome!”
Choi Myeong-jun clenched his fists and exclaimed in admiration as he looked at the gruesome battle scene.
“As expected, you are my brother! Wow-. Are you the brother I knew who couldn’t fight? How did you take care of dozens of people by yourself? I’m really impressed. Even just watching from afar, I can see the blood and intestines of those bastards…!”
“Choi Myeong-jun.”
Zion still soothed the girl and called Choi Myeong-jun.
The commander-in-chief was the position held by Choi Myeong-jun.
He was the commander-in-chief, in charge of all units within his force.
Choi Myeong-jun was startled by Zion’s low voice and answered in a trembling voice.
“Yes, old man! Brother… … ?”
“Be careful with your words.”
Zion was concerned about the children and warned him.
“Ah… … Yes, ok! I’m sorry.”
Choi Myeong-jun scratched the back of his head, seeming embarrassed.
At that time, Jin Jae-hee approached Choi Myeong-jun and pushed his shoulder slightly.
Jin Jae-hee coldly pushed him away.
“No idea?”
Then Choi Myeong-jun also frowned and shouted.
“What?… … Are you crazy?”
“… …Should I kill you?”
“Kill me. F**k.”
Whether the two were arguing or not, Zion consoled the girl.
The girl was still shedding tears the size of poop, and was wiping her eyes with her clenched fists.
The girl asked Zion, sobbing and hiccuping.
“… … Exactly … … Exactly like that. Heuk!… … We should’ve… … attacked… … the teachers? Heuk… … ! Just… … Just… … If only we had talked to each other… … W-Of course the principal was bad too… … Heuk! But… … The adults… … are always… … always like this… … They tell us to make up with words… … But they always fight… … Heuk… … Heuk!”
“… … .”
Zion thought for a moment before hearing the child’s cries.
He soon opened his mouth.
“I’m sorry. This is the world.”
This is what the world is like.
Zion found the words, even though they were his own, to be quite unconvincing.
But from Zion’s standpoint, if they had not been able to subdue the two forces, there would have been no future.
However, Zion only defeated the fighting forces.
The surviving civilians, teachers and children were controlled by soldiers.
“It’s okay now. Let’s go to my city.”
Zion got up, stroking the child’s head.
And he called them both.
“Jin Jae-hee. Choi Myeong-jun.”
“huh.”
“ancient!”
The two of them were spitting out harsh words at each other, but they focused on one word from Zion.
Zion gave an order to Choi Myung-jun.
“You take charge of the battlefield situation and begin preparing for colonization. Call each of the division chiefs here and take responsibility for the necessary forces and escorts.”
“I will accept it.”
Choi Myeong-jun immediately bowed his head to Zion and moved to organize the battlefield.
Zion sent the girl to a nearby soldier and started walking with Jin Jae-hee.
Jaehee spoke to him first.
“Well done. The artifact power and speed have both been upgraded. To be honest, it’s better than I expected. With this, you should be able to beat even the average B-rank player.”
In fact, Jaehee wanted to run to him first and compliment him.
Honestly, from Jaehee’s perspective, he couldn’t help but be touched.
Training over the past year.
That would have been hell for Zion.
So she wanted to be the first to welcome Zion.
But Choi Myeong-jun snatched that opportunity, and I felt annoyed for a moment.
Zion was still walking silently beside her.
When he didn’t answer, Jaehee continued speaking.
“How was it? How did it feel?”
It was a question about artifacts.
Of course, Jaehee also watched his battle from beginning to end, but what was important was what Zion himself felt.
“Are you asking what it feels like to kill?”
Zion glanced at Jaehee and asked.
Jaehee, startled by the sound, quickly lowered his head and asked again.
“No… … That’s not it. I’m talking about strength. Was there a problem?”
Artifacts consume mental power.
Jin Jae-hee kept an eye on him because using too much force could cause anemia and be dangerous.
To save him whenever he is in danger.
Zion clenched and unclenched his fist in response to that question, then answered.
“It was okay. I didn’t even need ‘Awakening 1’, and it was more meaningful that I was able to neutralize the enemy’s defenses with just one ogre.”
“Yeah. Fortunately, the Ogre’s abilities are more overwhelming than I thought. It seems like there will be no problem preparing for war with Dongangu.”
Zion stopped as he walked through the battlefield.
As he stopped, Jin Jae-hee also stopped.
And Zion looked at the corpses with holes all over the playground and asked.
“What about them?”
“… … .”
Recently, there have been entities that have threatened the power of Zion.
It is also true that their presence has lowered the morale of the residents.
Jin Jae-hee was silent for a moment and then answered with difficulty.
“Actually, it’s not that good.”
Beings that have recently been irritating Zion’s nerves.
Perhaps nothing has ever gotten on his nerves like this before.
They are right.
