Unregistered monster. It refers to a monster not registered in the database, simply put, a monster that has never been observed until now.
"This is... Everyone prepare to move out!" "What about the guilds?" "Guild mobilization order has already been issued!"
Guild mobilization order. The higher-ups have judged that the situation cannot be handled solely with KAMC's power.
"Monster type?"
Ki-jun asked as he headed to the combat gear warehouse.
"Rock Golem. But its size isn't just normally big. It's roughly the height of a 3-story building." "Oh no."
If it's a Rock Golem....
"Then how about my mission...." "You have to check that when you get to the site."
The special position of Supporter-Assassin. In a situation like this...
'I'll probably play the role of infiltrating the rear and drawing the golem's attention….'
The problem is that since it's an unregistered monster, its weaknesses and such haven't been identified at all.
"Damn it... prepare all armaments suitable for a golem for now." "Understood, Team Leader."
The scary thing about unregistered monsters is that even if they look weak, one cannot approach them carelessly because one doesn't know what abilities they possess.
'And the point that makes this unregistered monster even more dangerous is....'
"The damage is already severe. The ground floor of Times Square has already been smashed." "We must stop it from moving towards the department store...."
It means it has already inflicted a lot of damage.
'Since the initial suppression failed, it's a very strong individual.'
In the case of unregistered monsters, since their abilities are unknown, strong forces are deployed from the beginning to attempt suppression.
"But to say they failed...." "Somehow luck was good today."
Ki-jun, who said he picked up 5,000 won on his way to work, spoke.
"You never know. This might turn into a blessing in disguise." "Ugh, still scary though."
We took out weapons from the armory. The item I will be using is a Magitech Bomb. With general weapons, one cannot inflict damage on strong entities due to the mana interference problem. And cases like Magitech Bombs made by people who awakened crafting abilities played a filial role. It is similar to a general bomb, but since it has been magically engineered, the damage is fully transmitted to monsters.
"I wonder if there will be time for rear infiltration...." "Still have to take it. For now...." "Unless we can at least crack the golem's skin surface...." "Phew, since it's an unregistered monster, I don't even know how to deal with it." "They said not only the unregistered monster but also small Rock Golems we know have appeared."
It's called a small Rock Golem, but in reality, it is about the size of an adult male.
"It's chaos." "Why of all times...."
The situation at the scene seemed worse than initially reported. According to additional reports coming in continuously, not only the large unregistered Rock Golem but also small individuals have appeared.
'The only relief is that small Rock Golems are not unregistered individuals....'
"Is the Gate still open?" "Yes, they say it shows no sign of closing." "Damn it." "Did everyone grab weapons?! Come out quickly! The helicopter is waiting!" "Yes!"
Combat Awakened including KAMC combatants often rode helicopters. Because it is impossible to urgently move back and forth in downtown Seoul by car. Whirrrr―.
"Golden Arrow Guild has arrived at the scene first! Just do as ordered by the on-site command headquarters!" "Yes, Team Leader!"
The Golden Arrow Guild has already arrived at the scene. Golden Arrow Guild is a large corporate guild located in the tier right below the 3 Great Guilds.
"What about other guilds?" "They are coming!"
When saying 3 Great Guilds, it refers to Taehwa, Cheongpung, and World Tree. These three guilds. And Golden Arrow Guild is the guild chasing them fiercely, aiming to change the 3 Great Guilds into the 4 Great Guilds.
'It's a relief a strong guild came.'
Seo Mun-cheol is the Guild Master, and his eldest daughter Seo Ha-yeon is mentioned as the next-generation powerhouse to lead the next generation. At this rate, there were many observations that when Seo Ha-yeon inherits the guild, the 3 Great Guild system would be reorganized into a 4 Great Guild system.
"They say Seo Ha-yeon came too." "Oh...!"
'Then we won't have to take big risks.'
"If Seo Ha-yeon came, we don't have to worry too much. If push comes to shove, Seo Ha-yeon can just use her ultimate move." "No, she probably doesn't have much mana left since she already had a big fight at Namsan." "Ah... darn."
Seo Ha-yeon's biggest weakness is her small mana pool. Her ultimate move, [Arrow of Light], gathers pure light mana into the shape of an arrow and shoots it. Tremendous firepower almost comparable to a missile. Moreover, since it is the power of pure mana, mana interference or whatever doesn't apply.
'In other words, it means the destructive power is transmitted to the monster without any loss.'
However, because her mana pool is small, she cannot use her ultimate move as much as she wants.
"Right, a Gate opened at Namsan too." "Did it get resolved well there?" "I heard it was finished without damage, but quite a few monsters came out so they suffered a bit." "Sigh, feels like a lot of incidents are suddenly popping up lately...."
'It's a sign of destruction.'
From the Goblin Great Chieftain evolution to the appearance of the unregistered large Rock Golem.
'Plus the suddenly increasing Gate incidents.'
People will slowly start to realize that the situation is strange.
'Of course, I don't need to speak first.'
Originally, prophets are treated like psychos. And to play the role of a prophet properly, one must become truly strong. I did become much stronger in a short period in the meantime but....
'Still lacking.'
Whirrrr―.
"Almost there. Everyone prepare to descend." "Yes, Team Leader."
Our team, which had arrived near Yeongdeungpo Times Square before we knew it, landed on the helipad of a nearby building.
"Get off!"
We grabbed our armaments and got off the helicopter in order. The situation of the streets looked down from the helipad was horrific.
"...Oh my."
Citizens who couldn't escape in time and became corpses were visible.
"Couldn't grasp the detailed numbers but… estimated death toll inferred from life data is about 300. This is a conservative estimate too."
'Crazy.'
Perhaps the biggest civilian casualty in the last 1 or 2 years? At least domestically?
"Let's move quickly everyone. Every second counts."
Still, since it is Korea where administrative power is alive, several blocks surrounding the scene were already completely cordoned off. Subways were also passing Yeongdeungpo Station without stopping. Stomp stomp―. Stopped vehicles, and fragments of small golems that died and became rocks. There was blood and pieces of flesh splattered here and there on the streets. We walked through those streets toward the on-site command headquarters.
"KAMC Armed Enforcement Division Team 1 has arrived." "Phew, we can barely catch a breath. Right now all of Seoul is in chaos." "Yes?" "This time a large-scale Gate opened near Sangam Stadium, so Taehwa Guild coming here hurriedly turned towards Sangam-dong." "Ah...." "Cheongpung Guild's main unit hasn't been able to come up from Daegu yet, and World Tree is in Busan...."
'Large-scale Gates are opening nationwide right now.'
"Fortunately, civilian casualties combined don't exceed a thousand but... the damage here is a bit severe. Even estimating minimally, it seems 300 people died."
"I am Seo Ha-yeon from Golden Arrow Guild." "Ah, late introductions. I am Team Leader 1 of KAMC Armed Enforcement Division."
The two exchanged business cards, and dissemination of the on-site situation and operation adjustments continued.
"Since there is a Supporter-Assassin position, we should aim for the rear." "Will he be okay alone...."
Everyone said while looking at me.
'I must do it.'
A golden chance to become stronger. And when would I experience a situation like this. This is the reason I'm enduring without leaving KAMC. Teamwork. The world cannot be saved alone. It sounds like a catchphrase from some failed hero movie, but anyway, it's a fact. Preparing for that time, I must prepare for situations moving as a team always.
"It is fine. I have enough skill to preserve my life." "Yes, you can trust and entrust it to him. Team member Lee Si-woo… his recent performance is good, and above all, his skill [Agility] is useful in this situation."
Ki-jun helped out from the side.
"That's a relief. If you judge your life is in danger, you must retreat unconditionally." "Understood. I am at a level to take care of my own body. Do not worry too much." "That's fortunate."
For now, because of the [Beginner Firearm Proficiency] skill, I could penetrate the limitations of mana interference and inflict damage on monsters.
'Even excluding the unregistered monster... there is no particular problem dealing with small golems pouring out from the Gate.'
Although they are Rock Golem types so their outer skin is hard, they are not comparable to Elite Orc Warriors. Those guys possess mana barriers called Body Protecting Aura along with decent health recovery abilities.
"Then infiltrate to the rear, and destroy the fortress the golems are building." "Yes, understood. Departing immediately."
I took my weapons and went out as I was.
'Golden Arrow Guild will take the main attack.'
Even if she can't use her ultimate move, Seo Ha-yeon is still the strongest among the people gathered here.
'Other Awakened will eliminate the small fries, and Seo Ha-yeon will handle that unregistered large golem.'
My main goal right now is to destroy the fortress the golems are building in the rear. Click—.
"Shall we go."
What I am holding is the commonly seen K2 rifle.
'Somehow there's no occasion to use other guns....'
As I was about to depart like that.
"Wait a moment."
A clear voice came from behind.
'This voice is....'
"Mr. Lee Si-woo. That's you, right?"
Golden Arrow Guild's successor, Seo Ha-yeon.
"Yes, that's correct. For what matter...." "Your position is Supporter-Assassin so you took on a dangerous mission... are you really okay?" "Yes, I am fine. My mission is originally like this." "...."
She bit her lips for a moment and thought, then handed something to me.
"If a moment comes where your life is in danger, use this."
[Disposable Protection of Light] [Protects you from all types of attacks just once.]
'Such a precious item.'
As expected of its name, Golden Arrow Guild is a place that mainly deals with light mana.
"Thank you." "Supporter-Assassin position is originally dangerous… and a very precious position. You deserve this level of treatment." "Yes, then...." "Ah, yes. Fighting!"
She clenched a small fist and sent me encouragement.
'Most likely....'
A recruitment offer, right? Since Supporter-Assassin is a very special position, their numbers are also very few. To Seo Ha-yeon, who wants to recruit talent somehow and place Golden Arrow Guild in a position equal to the 3 Great Guilds, I must be a very covetable person.
'Though I have no intention of going.'
I have plenty of intention to build connections and cooperate. Dadadada―. Thinking that, I ran towards the enemy lines.
[Stealth]
Using the skill so as not to be detected by monsters.
"...Huh? The presence suddenly disappeared?"
Seo Ha-yeon looked back before entering the on-site command headquarters tent.
"Hmm...?"
She felt something strange, but since it wasn't important in the current situation, she shook her head and went back inside.
