Chapter 205: Defense Specialist (1)
「What…?」
At Yeongwoo’s artillery request, Kim Il-Sung’s eyes, which had been tightly shut, suddenly opened.
But already, in the sky.
Kwa-a-a-aang…!
Perhaps General Kim Younghyeom had inputted the coordinates, as the laser cannon was descending.
Not only Kim Il-Sung’s head but an area tens of meters in diameter was targeted.
It was still in a state where the output module assembly was incomplete.
「You’ll find it hard to survive like this.」
Kim Il-Sung, astonished by the enormous range of the laser cannon’s impact, chuckled bitterly.
Then he lifted his head to find his opponent.
– Babat…!
The guy was already being carried away by a frog, swiftly leaving the scene.
「Hey, wait!」
Realizing he was left alone to face death in the Benz field, Kim Il-Sung raised his upper body with a bewildered look.
Then he noticed the figure of Joseon’s Strongest Sword, who had been carried by the frog, turning back.
And his pupils were reflecting a white gleam.
「….!」
Then Kim Il-Sung’s field of vision began to turn white from above.
The laser cannon was descending right above his head.
「Ah.」
Sensing the end, Kim Il-Sung spat out his last words, and Yeongwoo gestured to the Golden Goblin.
It was to bring the golden sphere.
– Keyt!
The goblin came running, supporting the sphere with his left hand, and soon after, the laser artillery launched from the returnee’s room engulfed Kim Il-Sung.
Kwa-a-a-a-aang…!
“Goodbye, Kim Il-Sung.”
Yeongwoo bid farewell to Kim Il-Sung.
And then.
Blame.
Yeongwoo touched the golden sphere the goblin had offered.
Then the sphere soared upwards towards the sky, drawing a golden arc opposite to the laser artillery.
Peeeeeng!
With the momentum to pierce through the clouds, the golden sphere shot up rapidly.
And finally.
Puff, puff!
Arriving at the edge of the sky, it exploded the golden cannon.
“Ah….”
“Incredible.”
Watching from afar, Gangnam residents and Seoul’s Strongest Swords saw the golden waves spreading in the sky with their mouths agape.
While the sight of golden rain was now quite familiar, it was the first time it fell over hundreds of Benzes.
Suaaaaa…!
As the golden lights that completely filled the sky finally began to fall to the ground, the spectacle was achieved.
《Joseon’s Strongest Sword ‘Jeong Yeongwoo 07’ has given up 3 million karma monopoly and gifted 30,000 karma to all Gangnam residents.》
《Soon, 30,000 karma will be provided in the form of commemorative coins. Prepare yourselves.》
Karma distribution messages appearing in the golden rain.
And then.
Pop, pop!
In front of everyone staying in Gangnam, commemorative coins appeared three at a time.
“Is this really the end?”
Yeongwoo quickly grabbed his allocated coins, but his gaze was fixed on the achievement message appearing in the air.
Ping!
[Golden Storm]
|Please call the golden rain in four ways. (2/4)
= When there are seven or more mutants nearby.
= When a national leader dies.
Finally, because the second condition of ‘Golden Storm’ was achieved.
‘Now only two remain.’
– In North America.
– When two beings with attributes of conglomerate and dragon clan are fighting each other.
– When a second-grade or higher dimensional being visits.
Achieving two out of the three conditions would complete the achievement of the Golden Storm.
‘Meeting conglomerate and dragon clan attributes could be achieved within a day or two… The problem is the other one.’
Either summon a second-grade or higher dimensional being to Earth, or go to North America and spread the golden rain.
‘The latter seems more realistic. The chances of land connection are very high soon.’
Reset Stage 3, Pangea.
Yeongwoo already had relevant achievements, and it was also revealed earlier through the Council’s warning that Stage 3 was approaching.
That meant that within a few days, a land route to North America would open up, and borders of various countries would meet.
Of course, there was a high likelihood that this event would generally turn into yet another disaster.
“….”
As Yeongwoo envisioned the future that would soon unfold, the Golden Goblin approached and pointed ahead with its tiny finger.
– Kikit! Kikit!
“What’s going on?”
Yeongwoo naturally looked to where the goblin was pointing.
“Ah.”
There, the spheres left behind by Kim Il-Sung and the two dictators were hovering unexpectedly.
“Right. Those guys were mutants too.”
Yeongwoo tapped the forehead of the Podu Tenta who was carrying him, instructing it to move the spheres forward.
– Babat…!
The creature began to move to the spot where Kim Il-Sung had vanished, crossing over the Benz field.
Since Kim Il-Sung stood at a towering 6 meters, the silhouette of the 大 character remained where he had vanished after being hit by the laser cannon.
[TL/N: This is probably like those remains after a bomb attack or something, im imagining the dictator lying down like this 大☠️]
It was as if a kind of relic had been created following the large hole in the Cheongdam Bridge.
“Wow… Shouldn’t we put up a sign here saying ‘Kim Il-Sung’s Death Place’ or something?”
Meanwhile, Jeonggu, who had approached Yeongwoo, examined the traces of the dictators curiously. On the other hand, Yeongwoo was slightly disappointed to find that the spheres of the Kim lineage seemed no different from regular mutants.
‘Are mutants only mutants to a certain extent?’
After all, even the dragon tyrant Lim Kwangho had no special features except for the spheres.
There were only separate notifications and rewards upon death.
‘So, are these guys the same? In terms of existential status, the Kim lineage seems much higher than Lim Kwangho, the dragon tyrant.’
Just as Yeongwoo thought this,
「The legendary evil has been defeated by Joseon’s Strongest Sword ‘Jeong Yeongwoo07’!」
Just like when he defeated the dragon, a notification appeared, and then the mutation equipment contained within the spheres Yeongwoo detonated was processed for acquisition.
Paat!
「Gambler Stone」 – Mutation Gem
【Slot: 10% resistance against dragon race】
【Special Gem #4】
“Oh… what’s this?”
It was equipment in the form of gems that Yeongwoo hadn’t seen in a long time.
Moreover, it had a resistance attribute, ‘dragon race’, which was new, and below that, there seemed to be additional tooltips whose purpose he couldn’t discern.
‘A special gem number 4… What could this be? Does it have some sort of collection effect?’
From the circumstances, this was presumably the basic loot from the dragon tyrant.
This meant that the sphere used at the moment of Kim Il-Sung’s death belonged to the dragon tyrant Lim Kwangho.

‘So, does this mean that the spheres left by the Kims can’t be used anymore?’
Originally, this sphere should have been used as entry for the dungeon tonight.
However, if the sphere is used at night, the golden rain doesn’t fall, and therefore, no fixed reward, the mutation equipment, is given.
Therefore,
‘I need to get another sphere for the dungeon.’
After quickly reaching a conclusion, Yeongwoo instructed the goblin to retrieve the spheres.
“That’s a special sphere. So, don’t take it out when entering the dungeon, understood?”
– Kii…!
As if understanding, the goblin nodded its head with a long whine.
Then, it swiftly approached and placed the dictator’s sphere into the spatial pocket.
With this, the North Korean conflict came to an end.
“…Whew.”
Finally catching his breath as if he’d been holding it, Yeongwoo sighed, Jeonggu, who had been fidgeting beside him, asked,
“Is it really all over now?”
“Yes. That’s right. Since we’ve put out the urgent fires.”
Of course, there were still some minor matters left to deal with.
First, he needed to install the dragon’s heart, and he probably needed to receive the reward for defeating the “legendary evil” that might come through accountant Kubu.
Plus, there was also the reward for the achievement “Black Legend.”
‘But the chairman didn’t give any advertisements this time. Is he extremely busy?’
Glancing at the sky, Yeongwoo’s attention was diverted by Jeonggu, who was crouching on the ground and nudged him in the ribs.
“What are you doing all of a sudden?”
“If the urgent matters are all settled, take a look at this.”
“What in the world…”
Yeongwoo’s pupils dilated suddenly as Jeonggu extended a crimson coin towards him.
This was probably…
“Ah, Eunpyeong.”
The money that was taken from Eunpyeong’s Strongest Sword, Kim Hyeonggyu.
The money that had been in the bag was now spread out under the Benz field.
“What are we going to do with this money? Where did you even pick it up?”
Although Jeonggu seemed worried, Yeongwoo’s focus was elsewhere entirely.
“We fired several shots of laser artillery nearby… And there are still so many coins left?”
The fact that the yakshas dropped the bag of coins would likely coincide with the moment when Yeongwoo retaliated against them.
In other words, it was around the time when the “furnace” concealing Kim Jong-un in the sky was floating.
‘If so, the bag of money would have been hit directly by the laser artillery.’
This was almost certain because it was General Kim’s laser artillery that shot down the furnace.
So, to sum it up again.
‘The coins didn’t vanish even after being hit by the laser artillery. But the laser artillery is a weapon that even the Yakshas couldn’t withstand… That means…’
The durability of the coins themselves must be tremendous.
‘Is it because it is a universally accepted currency? Something that can withstand laser artillery?’
Just as Yeongwoo’s mind began to race again, Jeonggu nudged his leg once more.
“Hey, the guys are coming.”
“….?”
Turning his head at Jeonggu’s prompt, Yeongwoo saw the Seoul’s Strongest Swords walking towards them one by one from the other side.
Finally, they seemed to be coming to offer their gratitude now that the battle was over.
Wasn’t it Yeongwoo, who even managed to kill Kim Il-Sung, whom they thought would never be defeated?
Now, there was no reason for Seoul’s Strongest Swords not to respect him.
“Th… Thank you for your hard work.”
“…In the end, he was defeated.”
The Strongest Swords, who thanked Yeongwoo in turn, took on a much stiffer demeanor than before.
Although they hadn’t felt particularly close to Jeong Yeongwoo before, now they felt like they weren’t even the same species.
There was nothing ordinary about his power, equipment, or way of thinking.
It was as if an alien had put on a human disguise and was protecting the human world.
Of course, this “protection” came with a price tag attached.
“Well, did everyone enjoy the show?”
As Yeongwoo clapped while still being carried by Pofu Tenta, the Strongest Swords in the audience looked at him with fearful eyes.
“….”
At this, Yeongwoo took a single karma coin from the pile that Jeonggu was holding.
“Now, shall we discuss defense expenses?”
