Chapter 506: Kim Hyunsung’s Awakening (1)

-External advisor.

‘…’

-External advisor.

“Let’s go… to the Golden land… to El Dorado…”

-External advisor!

“Let’s… go!!”

-External advisor!!

“Oh…”

My closed eyes had already begun to open to the voice calling for me. It was unpleasant to wake up from the feeling that I had been having a quality sleep.

However, when I recalled what had happened inside, I couldn’t help but clench my fist.

‘Was it successful?’

It definitely felt different from before.

This type of unconsciousness was quite realistic, but it didn’t have the same atmosphere that reality had. As I was squeezing my fists, I came to the realization of where I was.

It was the interior of the carriage where I fell asleep a few moments ago.

‘It’s a success.’

Although I was a little worried about the future, the thought that I succeeded without difficulty fitted the result perfectly.

I wanted to get drunk on that feeling a little more, but there was no way I could find the time to feel the afterglow. I had to figure out how the current situation was going on, after all.

I wasn’t feeling all that anxious as it must have been less than an hour, but I thought that my best course of action was to look outside in a hurry.

When I looked out and forgot that there was a magic hologram, what greeted me was a mess.

The grounds had been turned into a chaotic battlefield by the fight that started a while ago.

-Grooooaaaaaaarr!

“Hold on! Hold on!!”

“Fire! Fire! Wizards, prepare your magic. Bombard them until you’re exhausted. Don’t back down. Don’t back off! Sh*t!”

“Don’t lose!!! Do not back down! Never forget that G.o.ddess Benignore is still with you!! Fight until your body is broken!!! The light of the continent cannot be taken away by dirty demons!!”

Craaashh!!

Baaaaanngg!!!

“Don’t let them come up!! Don’t let them cross the wall!!! Never!”

-Grrrrrrr! Dirty humans!! How dare you?!

‘Whoa… they’re holding on better than I thought.’

Only then could I get rid of my anxious mind a little. I still felt hazy about whether I was in a dream or reality, but when I witnessed the sight in front of me, I started to feel like my mind was awakening.

As I looked next to me with a sigh of relief, I saw Ronove covering her nose.

“Ronove?”

-Oh, er, I-I’m sorry, external advisor. I think I saw something too stimulating.

‘What is she talking about?’

When I glanced at Ronove once again, I thought I knew why she was covering her nose.

It’s quite entertaining to see her blocking her nosebleed as much as possible.

She was even blus.h.i.+ng, and she constantly shuddered, making me suspect what she was doing.

‘That’s why she produced all of it like a dog.’

I didn’t want to say anything right away. Regardless, the work was executed successfully, and in a consequential view, I could have received her help as well.

As I shook my head, recalling her productions from a little while ago, she looked at me with an anxious expression and spoke to me again.

-Do… you think what I did was lacking?

‘What bullsh*t are you talking about? Lacking? Yes, f.u.c.k, the production was missing something.’

“No. It’s nothing. More importantly… Please brief me on the current situation.”

-Ah… yes, yes… So, about 40 minutes have pa.s.sed since the battle started. As you can see, they’re not being pushed that much. It seems that the humans are resisting better than I thought, so I decided to observe the situation for now.

“Hyunsung hasn’t shown up yet?”

-Yes, it’s probably going to take a little longer for him to do so.

“How much?”

-It won’t take much time. Unlike you, he had been in the unconscious for a very long time. But don’t worry too much. He’ll most likely wake up in probably an hour or so. It could be faster. It usually takes about a day, but he is a high-ranking human…

‘One hour…’

Could they hold on until then?

I believed that they would be able to withstand the onslaught, considering the current atmosphere. Of course, I wasn’t certain of this, but it was very impressive to see the troops pus.h.i.+ng little by little, based on the basic defense battle.

I could definitely feel the collective will of humanity to no longer back down.

Although everyone had been fighting as one, the one that definitely stood out was Park Deokgu.

‘Pig b.a.s.t.a.r.d. That’s pretty good.’

-We’re going to hold on as much as we can! As much as we can, you hear?! In a little while, support will come from a nearby base!

It was difficult to give an exact explanation, but it felt like the atmosphere had changed.

No, it was true that it had actually changed. I could see that an unknown buff that affected the entire troops was spewing out from around him. I wasn’t expecting much, but it seemed that he had achieved nominal growth.

His combat power itself didn’t increase significantly.

However, standing at the troops’ center, encouraging the weary soldiers, and stopping the demons seemed like a scene out of a holy war. Actually, after giving it some more consideration, it was indeed a holy war. The current battle was between the continent and the demons trying to conquer it, after all.

Cha Hee-ra was fighting on equal grounds against one of the hard-liners, and the others weren’t all that different.

When I saw that the Blue Guild had been in charge of one axis in the frontlines, I naturally felt proud.

Some of the guild members, who evidently looked confused until an hour ago, were fighting as if they had received new vitality, causing me to appreciate them. Rather, I was more worried that the situation was going too smoothly.

‘There needs to be a crisis.’

“So it would become a little more dramatic…”

I thought that they would be able to defend the incoming waves even if Kim Hyunsung didn’t appear in that state. However, it seemed that it was just an illusion.

As time pa.s.sed, I could see them gradually being pushed back.

To be precise, their downfall started when Donovan eventually joined.

To be honest, I was a bit sick of him wandering the battlefield without hesitation, all for the sake of being called a named being from the 27th Corps.

With each swing of his fist, dozens of people were swept away. It wasn’t farfetched to think that his every movement affected the battlefield immensely.

From the standpoint of those defending the base, he must be a nuisance.

I thought perhaps there would be a special lease soon, but as if he thought they couldn’t afford to pull back the troops, Park Deokgu kept him in check.

He wasn’t fighting to win. He was simply trying to hold on.

He was like David standing in front of Goliath, holding a big s.h.i.+eld and blocking him to the best of his ability.

Even Park Deokgu’s body seemed small next to the demon, making it hard to imagine how much pressure he was under.

Donovan swung his fist, and Park Deokgu continued to block it.

Since he was focusing on defense so much, he didn’t even unsheathe his sword. Yet it still seemed like he could barely block him, causing me to flinch, but he felt as if he was holding on properly.

-This is fun, human! Fun! You trash human!

-Sigh… Sigh…

Of course, there was no way his body would be fine.

Even though Elena and Sun Hee-young’s divine powers were constantly pouring over him, even though all kinds of buffs were coursing through his body, the gap in power was too huge.

His whole body was being crushed and bloodied. Watching Park Deokgu holding down Donovan made me want to cry.

When the divine power no longer supported him, he endured while drinking a potion and avoided attacks that seemed unstoppable, even if he had to roll away.

He stuck so hard to him that it wouldn’t be wrong to say that he was persistent without falling over.

-Cough! Cough!

His internal organs seemed damaged as if he couldn’t hold on against the demon’s pressure, causing him to bleed constantly, but he didn’t wipe the blood away. Instead, Deokgu concentrated on blocking his opponent even more.

After isolating Donovan with Park Deokgu, I knew I would benefit from it, but I couldn’t help but feel that it was too harsh for him. He had to stand up over and over again, swallowing the pain away.

I wasn’t certain of it, but there was a high probability that he volunteered to do it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand the onslaught for that long.

‘I have to get rid of that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Donovan as soon as possible.’

I wondered what Kim Hyunsung was doing.

I looked at Ronove, thinking that he might have entered the unconscious once again, but the pervert next to me shook her head and didn’t say anything else.

Even in other parts of the battlefield, the flow of war began to switch towards the side it favored.

Cha Hee-ra was gradually lowering her intelligence to match the level of one of the generals, and Elena’s divine power, who was supporting the entire army, was also near depletion.

Even when the frontline was being pushed back little by little, Park Deokgu stayed faithful to fulfilling his role, but the situation still approached the worst possible outcome, making me want to call for a time-out.

I couldn’t wait any longer.

‘f.u.c.k, he should appear right about now.’

It was then that I felt that the situation became different from before once more.

I could hear one of the many magic holograms in front of me crackling.

‘Huh…’

I noticed that there was a problem with the spirit placed to watch the interior of Kim Hyunsung’s room.

The demon in the control room felt fl.u.s.tered, but of course, I couldn’t stop myself from smiling.

The fact that there was a problem with the spirit looking at him meant that he had woken up.

‘He came back! He came back!’

“Please let me take a look at the overall view.”

-Okay.

It couldn’t be more dramatic than that. Just as I thought, a gigantic light burst out of Kim Hyunsung’s room, and both sides, who had indulged themselves in madness, turned their heads and looked at the sky.

‘Whew…’

-He is back…

Park Deokgu, who had been lying on the floor covered in blood, muttered quietly, and Donovan also looked at the sky as if he couldn’t understand what had been going on.

-Guild Master…

The same was true for Cho Hyejin.

Kim Ye-ri started crying with her head down like common heroines, and even Park Yeon-joo was smiling despite the blood all over her body.

The Blue Guild members, who already lost hope, began reorganizing their ranks once again with a loud shout. They gained the strength to take a step forward, even though most of the other guilds’ troops didn’t know what exactly was going on.

The atmosphere was changing. If it were according to clichés, it would be at that point when we’d all hear hopeful music playing in the background.

‘El Dorado!’

-What… what’s going on?

‘That’s a really common line!’

-What is happening? What is… what’s happening?!

‘Very good. That kind of line fits very well, actor Donovan.’

Donovan, who uttered a typical villain phrase, stretched out a big hand toward Park Deokgu in confusion.

-Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

His outstretched limb quickly began to soar into the air.

-My aaarm!!!!!

Even the line he screamed was typical.

After seeing that, Park Deokgu began to speak with a faint smile.

-You’re late, Hyung-ssi…

The guy, who nodded, had begun to reply calmly.

-I’m sorry.

Standing in front of Donovan was the regressor who had completely awakened. It was a perfect cliché scenario.

He looked like a typical shounen’s main character, causing me to unconsciously speak to myself internally.

“f.u.c.king, f.u.c.king cool… f.u.c.k…”

I felt like I was witnessing a 20 million audience breakthrough.
