Seoul Station’s Necromancer Chapter 190:
Chapter 190 – Lord of Ice (2)
Alandal’s plan of actions had changed .
They were being overly cautious and safety oriented . They only showed interest in gathering Bloodstones . This caused several media companies to keep pouring out criticisms .
Still, Alandal was unresponsive .
At first, only the brave ones threw stones at them . However, the media was piling on Alandal now . There was a consistent theme in all the news generated regarding Alandal .
‘The king’s absence means nothing will get done .
The media refused to let go of the subject . They even started criticizing Kahng-woojin .
Why did he go to Alphen?
He left earth to pursue the safety of another planet . Was he in the right to do this?
The world was in an uncertain situation, and everyone wanted a breakthrough that would solve the problems they faced . They didn’t care if a hero stepped forward to stop the war, or a sacrificial lamb that would bear all the responsibility… .
Alandal, who had been excessively unresponsive to all other works, was focused on a single task .
Kim-haemin slammed open the door to the Prime Minister’s room, and he yelled out .
“We’ve picked up the trace of Kim-kahngchul . ”
“Huh? Where?”
Jung-minchan had been getting ready to berate the man . However, he got up from his seat with a bright expression on his face .
“He’s in London . ”
“London? England?”
“Yes and yes . ”
“Damn **** . ”
This had to do with one of the specific orders given by Kahng-woojin .
They had focused all their attention on finding Dr . Toppler, and the escapee Kim-kahngchul . This was the first time they had found a clue .
“As expected, he has a connection with Professor Toppler . ”
Minchan thought Kahng-woojin had been spot on with his instructions . London was where Dr . Toppler was last seen . Since Kim-kahngchul appeared there, his appearance in London was meaningful .
“However, there is a problem . ”
“What is it?”
“I’m not sure if the British government will allow us entry… . ”
They were on a flying fortress roaming around the sky .
Once the international opinion on Alandal turned sour, it had stayed bad . Very few countries welcomed Alandal, since they weren’t of any help . This was especially true for countries like England where there was a strong population of Roused .
Countries had learned about the new Item called the Dimensional Fragments . This was why they wanted to destroy the Colony of Dimensional lords through their own power . They refused to cooperate with others .
“We’ll have to negotiate . ”
Jung-minchan had already planned on negotiating with other countries .
Alandal put their safety above all else, but it wasn’t as if they were powerless .
Even if one considered only the active Wyvern Units, Alandal had more firepower than most small countries .
“Let’s turn our nose around . ”
The flying fortress was currently flying over India .
Minchan immediately went looking for Bibi .
She was a god-like figure inside the flying fortress called Bibi’s Castle .
She had influence over the regions underneath the Colony, and she was able to create anything within the area of her influence . Moreover, the movement of the Colony had to be approved by her .
Minchan knew Bibi was on top of the deck .
If one looked down from the control tower, the deck looked like a small town .
If one walked between the buildings, one couldn’t even tell that everything was floating in the air .
He arrived at the the edge of the deck . A cafe with a large terrace was located there .
“You are here, Prime Minister?”
“Ah . Yes, mother . ”
Jung-minchan politely bowed towards Kahng-woojin’s mother, Lee-soogyong .
“Ah-whew . I told you to stop doing that . ”
“No . How could I… . ”
Minchan was uncomfortable calling her by her name . Lee-soogyong, who was abashed by being called by her title, barely got Minchan to call her ‘mother’ .
Even now she stood up from her seat by the door to greet him . He was uncomfortable by such attention .
“You don’t have to greet me like that . ”
“Ho **** . A person of high stature like the Prime Minister has come here, so how can I not greet you?”
Ah, mother… . Your son is way above me .
He had tried to get that point across to her multiple times, yet she didn’t change . Therefore, he swallowed what he was about to say .
“Shall I prepare your usual order?”
“Yes… . Also, I also have business with Ms . Bibi… . ”
“Uh-whew . I was thoughtless . Hurry up and go see her . It seems I took away time from a busy man . ”
“Ah . It is nothing . I’ll be going . ”
Lee-soogyong let go of Minchan’s hand, and she went back to giving orders to her employees . In her mind, Jung-minchan was the highest ranked person in Alandal .
From her perspective, Kahng-woojin was just her son… .
Jung-minchan gave his farewell, and he approached the terrace . Bibi and Sooah were sitting in chairs as they leisurely chatted with each other . He also saw Do-jaemin standing close to the two .
Jaemin was no longer affected by the sun, so his face was impassive even in the light of the sun .
“Ms . Bibi . We’ll have to move the fortress to London . ”
“Why London?”
“We’ve picked up on Kim-gahngchul’s trace there . ”
“Hmm . He is the guy that ran away last time? All right . ”
Her master had ordered the recapture of this particular human . Bibi readily nodded her head, and she immediately moved the fortress . There was a slight tremor before Bibi’s Castle started to move slowly .
“Huh, Sooah? Are you feeling unwell?”
“N…no . ”
Unlike her words, Sooah’s face was pale . She had been well until a moment ago . When the color of her face changed, Do-jaemin was taken aback .
“W…what’s going on?”
Do-jaemin was asked by Kahng-woojin to protect Sooah . This was the first time he had seen such a change, so of course, he was taken aback by it .
On the other hand, Jung-minchan and Bibi’s face was filled with worry, but they weren’t surprised by what was happening .
“She is receiving an oracle . ”
“Ah… . ”
“Let us move to a different location . ”
Sooah was letting out cold sweat as her pupils moved around in an unfocused manner . Bibi quickly carried her into a room located at the corner of the cafe .
While they left, a man drinking a beverage was manipulating his handphone .
The man had just taken pictures of Sooah .
The man attached the photos to a message before sending it out .
[Possible target . Need confirmation . ]
After the message was sent,the man finished his drink before a woman approached him .
“Mr . Soongho . Your lunch time has ended . Hurry up and go . ”
“Ah . Yes, manager . ”
He put the handphone back into his pocket, then Soongho got up from his seat .
Cafe’s Backroom .
A powerful energy was being emitted from Sooah’s body .
She was barely able to keep her eyes open, but her ghastly visage no longer belonged to Sooah .
[The time of our destiny has arrived . ]
Her small mouth stood still, yet a sound rang inside everyone’s head .
“What time is she talking about?”
[…… . ]
There was no answer to Minchan’s question .
It was always like this . She only spoke what she wanted to say,
[It might be the start of a change, or the bridle may be put on us again… . . ]
“…… . ”
Since there was no point in speaking to her, everyone stayed silent as they listened . They just recorded her words, so Kahng-woojin could be informed of her words .
[…… . ]
Sooah’s body had been floating up in the air, but now she was slowly descending to the floor . Bibi lifted her, and she carefully stroked Sooah’s cheek .
“Poor thing . ”
She was her master’s dongsaeng .
Why did the **** of earth pick Sooah? She was still very young .
Bibi looked to be the same age as Sooah, but she was a demon . She had lived over 200 years as a succubus .
She couldn’t help, but pity Sooah . She felt for her .
At that moment, Bibi’s slightly wet eyes opened wide from surprise .
“Miss Bibi? What’s wrong?”
Minchan questioned her in surprise, but Bibi extended his hand towards him . She stopped him from approaching .
“Uh uh… . ”
She let out an exclamation as her body started to twist .
Pah-pah-paht!
Her arms and legs exploded .
Instead of fragments of blood… Various parts of her body exploded into black smoke .
Hwah-roo-rook .
When she was completely returned to being a cloud of black smoke, it started to coalesce again . She was completely different from before . She was taller and her body was bigger .
“Ah ah . ”
It was as if Bibi was unsummoned before being summoned again .
“Huhk . ”
“Ooh uhk . ”
Instead of the unconscious Sooah, Minchan and Jaemin let out shocked exclamation at Bibi’s changed appearance .
She had slim legs that extended for days . Alongside her increased height, her **** and **** grew bigger… . She still had her cute face, but her appearance almost made her look inhuman .
Bibi had a different type of beauty compared to the Holy Maiden Melody . She was oozing with **** appeal .
Moreover, a slim black tail extended out from her backside… .
“Hah . ”
One couldn’t tell if you was letting out a exclamation or a moan . She let out a restless noise as she puffed out her cheeks .
“This will be troublesome . ”
Even her voice sounded seductive . It was as if her voice was melting the ears of the men around her . Minchan and Jaemin didn’t even think about turning their heads away . Their faces were beet red .
Bibi turned to look at the two .
‘Jeez . Stop looking at the two of us like that . We are in a troublesome situation too . Holy **** . ’
“We are in trouble . ”
At Bibi’s words, the two men mumbled to themselves as if their souls had been bewitched .
“Everything is bigger… . ”
“Oh, say can you see . By the dawn’s early light… . ”1
The two men continued to mumble to themselves as if they weren’t of sound mind yet . Bibi furrowed her brows as she looked at them .
“Please come to your senses!”
“Uh-yoohk . ”
“Huhk . ”
She spoke with a serious expression on her face .
“It seems earth has finished going through its synchronization . ”
“What?”
Minchan replied with a question . Bibi still had on a serious expression as she turned to look at the unconscious Sooah .
So was this the time of destiny mentioned by earth’s god?
“The Dimensional Gates will now be wide open . ”
“…… . ”
Minchan and Jaemin also put on a serious expression . Even now the Dimensional lords were appearing quite frequently . If the Dimensional gates was thrown wide open… .
If the earlier attacks were exploratory attacks, the attacks from now on will be… .
The real war was about to start now .
***
“Block them!”
“Ggooh-ahhhhk . ”
Too-doo-doo-doo-doo .
The hail of bullets were shot as the brave Roused charged forward . They died in an ill-advised manner . Their enemies were powerful, and they had all show up on the world at the same time .
It was the 2nd Dungeon Shock .
It was the name coined by the media of the world, and it described the incidents that were occurring daily . However, it wasn’t a topic of conversation any more .
There were places where tens of thousands of people were being killed, and the odd phenomena of an entire city being vaporized into nothing had occurred .
The entirety of earth was in chaos .
The owners of businesses and the upper crust of society had already evacuated to several regions that were considered to be safe zones . It was ironic that these people evacuated to third world countries, who possessed no subway stations .
Was clearing Dungeons the safer option?
The Dungeons were reset several dozen times a day, and the Roused couldn’t continuously attempt to clear them . It only took a single day for Dimensional lords to appear at these unkept Dungeons .
Moreover, it wasn’t just the Dimensional lords . There were the Dungeon owners and the Dimensional refugees appearing on earth . A problem that arose from these events was the fact that not all of these beings were monsters .
There were races that looked exactly like humans . Even the Dimensional refugee classified as humanoid were mixing into the population of earth .
The previous Dungeon Shock couldn’t be compared to this current great catastrophe .
In a situation where it was hard to tell, who should be helped or not, Bibi’s Castle arrived in the skies of London .
“Are the British government still unresponsive towards our request?”
“They want us to wait . They’ll allow us entry soon . ”
He zoomed in on the surface with cameras, and he could see the situation beneath was very bad .
It was hellish .
It was unknown as to how many Dungeon Breaks had occurred, but there seemed to be more monsters than humans below . London was a lawless land now .
“Hoo-ooh . Hurry up…”
They had come here to find Kim-kahngchul, but that problem was inconsequential now . The solving of the Moon World’s secret was a moot point if the entire earth fell into ruins .
No, earth wouldn’t fall to ruins . The population would be eradicated… .
The core members of Alandal were gathered in the control room, and they were still waiting for permission from the British government .
“Uh?”
“Uh?”
Bibi and Do-jaemin simultaneously let out an exclamation .
“What’s wrong?”
“Master is back . ”
“H…hyung-nim . ”
As soon as he returned to his Dimensional Domain, Woojin sent messages to his vassals .
[How’s earth doing? If it isn’t busy over there, I want to gather some Points in Alandal . ]
“It is busy . Earth is in trouble . ”
“Master . The Synchronization was completed . ”
He heard the two voices simultaneously, and Woojin became silent .
[Is it bad?]
“Yes! The Dungeons are continuously Breaking all over the world . People are being evacuated to regions without any subway stations . ”
[Where are you guys?]
“We are at London . ”
[I’ll be heading over there . ]
“Yes . Please hurry . ”
Jung-minchan wasn’t able to hear Woojin’s voice, so he reacted when he heard Do-jaemin’s words . Jung-minchan answered with a pale face .
“If the king comes this way, what’ll happen to the employees dispatched at the Seoul Station?”
“Ah!”
Do-jaemin immediately updated the situation, and Woojin asked a question in response .
[Who’s there?]
“Chief secretary Woo went there . He wanted to improve upon the relationship with Korea… . ”
[Ah . That guy is always quite troublesome . ]
After mulling over it for a short time, Woojin gave an answer .
[I’ll go to Seoul . I want you guys to kill all the monsters over there . ]
“The British government hasn’t given us permission to enter… . ”
At Jaemin’s words, Woojin didn’t even have to think about his answer .
[You have my permission . Go . ]
“Yes, hyung，”
Jaemin no longer heard Woojin’s voice . He turned around, and everyone was focused on him .
“He wants us to kill them all . ”
Jung-minchan immediately turned on the control room’s microphone .
“Wyvern Units . Get ready to deploy! Ready the cannons!”
The heads of the cannons started to extend out from the floor of the flying fortress, and they started pointing towards the surface .
Notes:
Jaemin sings the S . Korean National Anthem . I changed it into the US National Anthem .
