Descent of the Demon God

Chapter 27 Portent (5)

Around two hours ago.

‘Nano. You succeeded.’

At the fingertips of Chun Yeowun, Baek Jong-so was lying in the large room on his back because his blood points were sealed.

Although it couldn’t be explained, Chun Yeowun succeeded in collecting the nano bombs inside Baek Jong-so’s body.

[If it is absorbed into the user’s body, disarming the nano bombs with the nano machines is possible.]

‘Absorb and disarm?’

[Since it is a nano device with just one simple frequency and code, it can be done.]

‘... then could we take the nano bombs and use them?’

[It is possible.]

‘Oh-ho, really?’

The nano bombs from Baek Jong-so’s body fell short compared to the future.

Which made it easy for Nano to control them.

The team leader and the mobile strikers, who had fallen to the ground, were killed by the nano bombs Chun Yeowun injected into them.

Despite it looking like torture, this was the reason why Chun Yeowun put his finger into their flesh.

‘I didn’t use them all.’

Their bodies didn’t need to turn into dust.

By sending an appropriate amount of nano bombs to the heart or brain, it was possible to effectively kill the enemy.

Their deaths were the result of that.

‘Th-This can’t be!’

It was hard to believe for Neung Do-myung, who wasn’t aware of such nano technology.

Even the technical support team of the Public Security Bureau, who studied the nano bombs from Baek Jong-so’s body for nearly a month, were unable to find anything remotely important.

In that way, the MS technology was at the pinnacle of current technology.

‘Team leader Go...’

Neung Do-myung looked at the deceased team leader.

If the man’s words were true, then team leader Go had dug his grave with his own hands.

“Let’s continue what we were doing.”

Tak!

Chun Yeowun took a step forward.

It was one simple step, but it was strong enough to overpower Neung Do-myung, who was gripped by fear.

Surprised, Neung Do-myung stepped back and shouted.

“Don-Don’t move! Can’t you see the machine guns aiming at you?”

Clank!

The mobile strikers all aimed for Chun Yeowun at that cry.

The red laser points from the guns aimed at Chun Yeowun’s head and heart.

Twelve people died, but there were fifty more alive.

“Tch!”

Baek Jong-so grunted as he looked at the machine guns aiming for them.

Even he, who is at the end of the Super Master Level, can only avoid bullets when he watched which direction the bullets are coming from.

But this, this is too many.

‘Damn it! One problem after another!’

A typical gun can fire bullets at a speed of 300 to 500 m/s, but machine guns can fire at 1000 m/s.

Such speed is too high to handle.

And the destructive power is evident.

It would be difficult to avoid or block such machine gun fire, no matter how strong a warrior was, especially when 50 people were surrounding them.

‘Even if he is Chun Ma this...’

He wasn’t confident anymore.

The present era was an era where Murim warriors used firearms.

Unlike Chun Yeowun, who was still calm, Baek Jong-so was nervous and tense as he kept trying to calm his heart.

‘Right. I shouldn’t let myself get swayed.’ (1)

The mobile strikers still had an advantage.

With the number of guns they were aiming and they only had two opponents.

Plus, Neung Do-myung also learned martial arts.

‘He’s keeping a poker face, but that’s just a bluff. As long as he hasn’t lost his reasoning after seeing this, he’ll back down, how can one person handle this many machine guns?’

Neung Do-myung thought it would be difficult to avoid a shower of bullets, even if the opponent was a Superior Master.

With that certainty, he calmed down.

However,

Tak!

Chun Yeowun once again took a step towards Neung Do-myung.

‘Has he gone insane?’

Fifty machine guns were aiming at him, yet he showed no sign of fear.

“Do-Do you want to die? Stop! Stop now!”

Step! Step!

“You!”

He kept walking while ignoring his words, making Neung Do-myung confused.

And then he raised his hand and pointed towards Chun Yeowun.

That was the signal, all the mobile strikers tried to pull their triggers.

“It-It’s dangerous!”

Baek Jong-so hurriedly jumped in front of Chun Yeowun.

In that fleeting moment,

“You are one annoying man.”

Chun Yeowun raised his palm and then slightly turned it.

And,

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

“Kuak!”

“Kuk!”

“Euk!”

Before the triggers were pulled, the mobile strikers who were aiming their guns fell to the ground in unison.

They all fell over.

Around 50 people, no exceptions.

“M-My body...”

“Shit!”

They couldn’t hide their shock.

An unknown energy forced their bodies down.

“What are you all doing! Shoot!”

Neung Do-myung shouted, but not a single person pulled the trigger.

They were all on the floor with the feeling of something crushing them, how could they shoot in such a circumstance?

Creep!

For a second, Neung Do-myung felt goosebumps rise all over his body.

He didn’t realize it, but the flow of energy around him was as if he was in the eye of the storm.

It was a level he could never fathom.

“Wh-What kind of human can even have such ene...”

He never experienced it.

The internal energy he was feeling was so overpowering that his own energy felt like a grain of salt compared to it.

“Eikkk!”

At that time, a few mobile strikers on the second floor tried to pull the triggers despite being pushed to the ground, enduring the pain of being crushed.

However, Chun Yeowun lowered his hand even further.

Crack!

With a cracking sound, the mobile strikers had fallen.

The sound of bones cracking could be heard loud and clear as they were in an abandoned factory.

Crack! Crack!

“Kuak!”

“Ackk!”

Screams rang out.

But they didn’t last long.

Before long, only three people were standing inside the abandoned factory.

Thud!

And one of them, Neung Do-myung, fell on his butt.

He wanted to step back and run away, but he was too terrified to even move a single step.

“Hic!”

With fear in his eyes, he looked at Chun Yeowun.

Using the tracking device, they had set a trap.

‘Ho-How did this happen...’

The detonator of the nano bomb, and the agents of the Public Security.

He even brought in Special Inspector Jun Ye-myeong, one of the top seven warriors of the Public Security just in case there was an emergency.

But he was killed so easily.

“M-Monster!”

Baek Jong-so agreed with that.

He knew that Chun Yeowun was strong because of what he saw inside the Six Road Toys’ building, but he still didn’t expect this level of resourcefulness and skill.

‘Amazing!’

What overwhelming ability to overturn the situation.

Now that the situation was settled, there was only one thing to do.

Phat!

Baek Jong-so ran over to Neung Do-myung who was on the ground, and kicked him in the stomach.

Puck!

“Kuak!”

Do-myung, who was hit in the abdomen with a kick loaded with energy, coughed up blood.

Grabbing his collar, Baek Jong-so shouted.

“My mother! Where is my mother?”

Puck!

Baek Jong-so’s fist struck the man’s cheek.

And it was only the beginning.

“Where is she, you bastard!”

Puck! Puck!

“Kuak!”

The anger he was holding back wasn’t something he could control anymore.

Baek Jong-so hit him until his face went limp.

Although not all of the hits were imbued with energy, as he kept getting hit, Neung Do-myung’s face was swollen.

“Huh... huh... huh....”

“Say it. Where is my mother! If you don’t want to die, answer me!”

Baek Jong-so grabbed him and shook him.

However, the answer which came from Neung Do-myung was different.

“Huh... huh... how... what is... your identity? A guy like you is an unregistered Murim warrior?”

His swollen eyes were looking at Chun Yeowun.

He had lost, but he at least wanted his doubts to be resolved.

Chun Yeowun approached him.

“What good would knowing that do when you are in this state?”

“Huh?”

“Move.”

“Y-Yes!”

As Baek Jong-so moved, Chun Yeowun shoved his finger into Neung Do-myung’s shoulder.

Puck!

“Kuaak!”

And he pulled out his finger.

“I put nano bombs in your body.”

“W-What?”

He couldn’t understand.

He just poked into the flesh with his finger, but what was this about nano bombs being injected?

“What nonsense...”

Snap!

Chun Yeowun snapped his fingers.

Pang!

A small bang was heard.

Intense pain began to come from the bottom of his left hand.

“Kuaaak!”

Shocked, Neung Do-myung looked at his palm.

The middle of his palm was tanned, as if it was burning inside.

“What is this?”

“Your body holds 1000 nano bombs. They’re distributed evenly throughout your body through your blood vessels. 500 are in your brain.”

“What?”

His eyes trembled.

He couldn’t dismiss it as a lie as the pain in his palm was proof of it.

“How can th...”

“You don’t need to know that. There’s only one thing you need to do, answer us.”

Tak! Pang!

When Chun Yeowun snapped his fingers again, the pain hit his right hand.

“Achhhh!”

The pain of something exploding inside his body.

As his body convulsed, he cursed Chun Yeowun.

“Shiiiitttttt! You. You... you fucking bastard!”

Chun Yeowun ignored that and spoke.

“From now on, we will detonate one bomb after the other.”

‘!?’

The swollen eyes of Neung Do-myung went wide.

Chun Yeowun had said that there were a total of 1000 nano bombs in his body.

And he detonated 2 so far, which meant 998 are left.

‘Sigh...’

Even Baek Jong-so, who hated him for taking away his mother, frowned.

If it was him, he would rather commit suicide than suffer in such a slow manner.

“You... you are vicious....”

“I won’t ask anything. I’ll just explode one every five seconds.”

“Wh-Ahat!?”

“Let’s see how tightly sealed those lips are.”

With that, Chun Yeowun spread out his hand, and folded one finger after another.

Every time another finger folded, the expression on Do-myung’s face was nothing short of a spectacle.

As the last of the five was about to fold, he shouted.

“Wait! Wait! Hold up. I... I don’t know! I really don’t know as it was decided by the higher...”

Snap! Pang!

A nano bomb in his right foot exploded.

“Ackkkkkk! Fuck! Fuck!”

How painful it must have been.

Still he calmed himself.

“Kuak... really... don’t... know...”

Chun Yeowun didn’t care, and started folding his fingers again.

Seeing that, Neung Do-myung began to break out in cold sweat.

He was at a loss for words because of Chun Yeowun’s expression as he folded his fingers without even blinking an eye.

‘You... this man will really do it.’

He was trained to handle torture.

However, it was the first time he was being psychologically pressured.

This wasn’t a horrible pain, rather, it was a slow way of driving him to the edge of sanity.

‘He is not evil, he is the devil himself!’

Now, one finger was left again.

At that moment, Neung Do-myung shouted.

“I-I will speak! Please... please... stop!”

A declaration of surrender came out of his mouth.

Baek Jong-so, who was watching it anxiously, smiled.

“Say it! Where is my mother?”

“Before that, guarantee one thing!”

Neung Do-myung wasn’t going to believe Chun Yeowun.

After he answered, he was sure that Chun Yeowun would kill him.

“... are you haggling with me?”

In shock, Neung Do-myung shouted.

“Wait! Wait! It’s a place... you can’t go without... me!”

“What do you mean?”

As he answered the question from Chun Yeowun he spoke cautiously.

“I’m not cheating you. It’s not a place you can go just because you know where it is. You need to make a request to the Defense Department...”

Flinch!

At that moment Chun Yeowun frowned and stood up.

He looked northwest.

‘What... this wave?’

A tremendous energy, strong enough to shock Chun Yeowun was spreading out.

It felt like it was shaking the space.

It was then.

Wheiiing! Wheiiing!

Sounds from outside the factory.

It wasn’t just a sound near the factory, it was a siren all throughout Shenyang.

With a shocked expression, Neung Do-myung said.

“No way... at a time like this? The Defense Department said that it would take three days...”

He wasn’t the only one shocked.

Baek Jong-so, spoke with trembling eyes.

“Gate-Gate Warning!”
