Chapter 1510. Extinction (20) [Illustration]

‘I didn’t expect him to react this fast.’

He was basically Pavlov’s dog... The sight of the ordinary pigeons collapsing in an instant without their heads was a spectacle. It wasn’t just the ones that had first entered, but even the ones nearby were falling one after another.

It almost made me think that bomb collars were installed on their necks, and those bomb collars were detonated all at once

‘Actually... it really is like bomb collars then.’

The only difference was that they didn’t explode. As always, not even the faintest sound echoed. The pigeons didn’t even realize that they were cut, as they didn't even scream before falling lifelessly to the ground. A few of them briefly thrashed in their final moments, but the result was the same.

The ones assuming battle stances, the ones trying to create distance, the ones raising shields, and the ones approaching me were dead.

‘Come on... why is this bastard so strong? Didn’t he even rest for a long time?’

“Uh...”

“W-what was that... What?”

“Huh? Huh?”

After being defeated by the Holy Sword Hero, he became a wreck, so there was no way he had time to train. Just looking at his condition, it didn’t seem like he had even taken care of his body, let alone trained.

His muscles had withered, and it made me wonder how he could even stand and swing a sword.

‘But... how did he get even stronger, damn it?’

“...”

‘Does he have some kind of automatic level-up function or something?’

I wasn’t joking here. Hee-Ra noona was like that. Hadn’t she once said it herself? According to her, predators never really trained. In fact, I could hardly remember ever seeing Hee-Ra noona train. She was the type who could level up just by breathing, and the type that would make anyone wonder if they were even human.

They were the type that would make anyone think that humanity could actually be so strong.

Kim Hyun-Sung was a genius, too, but he wasn’t this kind of human. His strength only appeared after a few awakening events and going through relentless self-management and systematic training.

Ryu Han's strength was fundamentally different from Kim Hyun-Sung’s. His incomprehensible strength made me feel as if everyone here was a corpse standing upright in his eyes. His unkempt hair hung loosely, and there was even an eerie aura about him that made it hard to grasp what he really was.

He looked more frightening than the pigeons.

In fact, the refugees around him instinctively feared him.

Of course, the reactions of those who had stood on a battlefield before were different.

“I believed, damn it!!” Kennen shouted.

‘What exactly were you believing in?’

“C-crazy! This is crazy! What is this?! What’s going on?!” Alex questioned.

“Waaaaaaah! We lived! We’re alive, Alex!” Kennen cried out.

“Just what in the world is going on...” George mumbled.

“Who cares about that, George?! The important thing is that we survived! Where the hell was a monster like him hiding! Ah... n-not a monster... S-savior! W-we’ll assist you!!!” Alex said.

Anyone who had been to a battlefield knew just how much influence a single named individual could have in war. They knew how much hope the presence of someone capable of completely overturning the tides of a battle alone would bring to their allies and how much despair they could bring to their enemies.

Those who spent their days grappling on battlefields seemed to have quickly reached the conclusion that Ryu Han was a monster. Even at a glance, they became very nervous.

“M-more are coming, Great Warrior!”

‘This guy wandered into the wrong genre.’

Of course, this wasn’t a situation that required help from those three. The pigeons’ heads were being chopped off as soon as they came closer.

Swoosh1

“Ah.”

Thud, thud, roll...

“Huh?”

Swoosh!

“Damn... it...”

Thud!

The entrance to the basement was narrow, so his presence stood out. Every time he swung his hand, a pigeon would fall.

‘They keep getting hit because they don’t even understand what’s happening.’

Even Sung Ji-Hoon had no idea how much time he had wasted before finally getting used to that speed. To put it extremely, if one couldn’t get used to Ryu Han’s speed, it was impossible to even stand beside him. Sung Ji-Hoon was an unusual case.

‘Usually, they all die before they ever get used to it.’

Our Han’s sword cut through the dark space. First Life Ki-Young had probably realized that the tides of the battle had tilted. An irregular had suddenly appeared on the battlefield. If even Alex and the other two knew that, how could he not know of it?

The balance had already collapsed. If they kept pouring in their forces, they could possibly achieve some meaningful results, but...

“Hold on just a little longer! Just hold out until the main force returns!”

Everyone couldn’t help but worry about the troops that were currently marching back. Their resources weren’t infinite. Their forces were limited just like ours. If it turned into a war of attrition, then the human side would have every reason to shout in triumph. Even trading one ordinary soldier for one pigeon would be a profitable exchange.

With the situation escalating like this, there was no way that First Life Ki-Young would stay still. And in that situation, Ryu Han was instead pushing back the pigeons that were pressing forward.

‘But... is he even in a state where he can talk?’

I wasn’t sure whether he was capable of having a normal conversation. He had been swinging his sword without saying a word the entire time. He didn’t show any other actions either, just swinging his sword at the enemies like a robot.

Of course, when we stepped outside the basement, he followed along.

“Sir! Are you going outside?” Alex asked.

“...”

“Let’s go outside, too! George!” Alex shouted.

“Hm... let’s do that.”

He even swung his sword on his own initiative. The ones visible outside the window fell to the ground without their heads. In the middle of that, I could even see Seraphim gliding through the sky.

Just as I was thinking it would be nice if Ryu Han were to chop his head off as well...

“Eeeek!” Seraphim let out a shrill cry and ran away.

‘It wasn’t deep enough, huh?’

He only sustained a graze on his neck. Whether it was because of his cautious personality or simply because his stats were higher than those of the ordinary pigeons, he managed to react to the attack. He did end up with a wound, but his head remained intact on his shoulders, so in his own way, he managed to withstand Ryu Han's attack.

Still, the attack carved the terror of nearly dying into his mind. This was different in nature from arrows flying in from the fog. His head had gone flying before he even realized it.

Meanwhile, the other pigeons were still having their heads chopped off, so it wasn’t unreasonable for Seraphim to flee in a panic.

‘Our Ki-Young must be really angry.’

“Dominions! Where are you! Dominions!!”

‘He’s even calling his friend. Perfect.’

Thinking about it again, it made sense that this guy admired First Life Ki-Young and tried to imitate him.

“Dominions!”

‘Even from far away, he really looks pathetic.’

“D-Dominions...”

The lack of confidence in his eyes, his anxious face, the frightened curl of his lips, the wings drawn tightly inward, and even the voice calling for Dominions like a parrot, were enough to make him look like a child who had lost his parents. To me, it was an incredibly lovable sight, but it surely wouldn’t look the same to First Life Ki-Young.

‘He probably wants to kill him.’

I could confidently say that even hanging the guy upside down and burning him alive wouldn’t be enough to satisfy him. Besides that...

‘The fog seems to be getting thicker, too.’

Aside from the pigeons Ryu Han was killing, the number of pigeons falling was increasing as well. The troops that had been dispatched to the Republic were finally coming back.

“The Mist Summoner is nearby!”

“Hold on just a little longer! Damn it! Just a little longer!”

“Wipe out all these disgusting pigeon bastards!”

“Tight formation! Tight formation!”

“Throw the nets!”

“You still won’t back off? Even now?”

“Just hold on a little longer! Hold out until reinforcements arrive!!”

“You still won’t give ground?”

Of course, Castle Rock sustained a lot of damage. In fact, the sudden ambush inflicted heavy casualties on the troops who had been defending the walls. The fact that the pigeons managed to enter the castle meant the losses were far from small, but if one had to compare who had suffered more damage, then First Life Ki-Young’s side was overwhelmingly worse off.

Even now, those losses were still accumulating.

‘Our Commander Jin is trying to restore his pride.’

It was unclear whether he was trying to take out his misplaced anger on the pigeons, but I could see the troops in Lindel moving out. Of course, over there, Cherubim and Thronus were holding the line, so a certain balance was being maintained, but the decisive factor was that the commander had his attention on this side

At this rate, he was definitely afraid that a resistance line linking the allied races and Lindel could have formed in the meantime.

‘You’re not stupid.’

'You’re not such an idiot that you would be swept away by emotions and ruin the greater cause. This big brother of yours didn't raise you like that. Yeah, even if it feels unfair, there’s nothing you can do about it.'

‘After all, you’re up against me.’
