Chapter 198: Black Rain (4)

Coordinate Locator.

From Yeongwoo’s perspective, it was almost as if he had bought it for a whopping ten million karma, but the effect of this transaction may have been worth much more than ten million.

Because through this, everyone in the audience knew.

Still, it meant that Jeong Yeongwoo was not stingy to those who helped him.

“T-Thank you.”

Jang Jeongho of Dongdaemun Strongest Sword bowed to Yeongwoo, showing the top of his head.

Then he politely handed over the locator with both hands.

Swoosh.

“This is now yours, Mr. Yeongwoo.”

“Thank you.”

As Yeongwoo reached out to receive the locator, Pofu Tenta carrying him took a step forward.

Kwoong!

“…!”

While Jang Jeongho flinched, thanks to him, Yeongwoo could receive the locator by just slightly bending his upper body.

Thud.

It was cold.

The coordinate locator was a thin square metal like a card.

About the size of a palm, maybe a little smaller.

That’s why Jang Jeongho was able to put it in his pocket.

“But… do you know how to use it?”

Jang Jeongho, who handed over the locator, asked Yeongwoo.

After buying this item from the merchant, he tried various attempts to use it himself but couldn’t make it work at all.

On the other hand.

“Oh, the instructions?”

As Yeongwoo took the locator, he could immediately understand how to operate this metal.

The way to activate this thing was simply.

‘I guess I just need to hold it. Does it only activate when coordinate usage is possible?’

Pah-ah-ah-ah!

Right now, in Yeongwoo’s eyes, the coordinates were already visible along with the aiming point.

〔|l||I-Earth-482-183-4239-06〕

The coordinates were displayed above the aiming point in the center of his vision, and when Yeongwoo turned his eyes to another direction, the coordinates were updated to match the position of the aiming point.

‘I wonder if it’s compatible with Clairvoyance.’

「Clairvoyance」 – Mutant Earrings

【Amplifies vision up to 5 times】

As Yeongwoo turned his head outside the lobby to amplify his vision, the small aiming point turned into thin crosshairs, showing a new set of coordinates.

‘Good heavens.’

Coordinate searching was a function that was compatible even with Clairvoyance, which amplifies vision.

‘With this, it should be possible to bombard quite far.’

And most importantly.

“….”

The fact that coordinates were displayed in his sight itself implied the completion of the laser gun.

No, even if not completed, it would be possible to input coordinates and shoot.

Since the locator, which didn’t work at all in Jang Jeongho’s possession, was activated here immediately.

Swoosh.

As Yeongwoo looked up at the sky, Jeonggu approached quietly and asked in a low voice.

“Why? What’s up this time?”

“It seems like the laser gun has been assembled quite a lot.”

“What? How do you know that?”

In response, Yeongwoo handed the coordinate locator to Jeonggu.

“It only works for me.”

“…?”

Of course, Jeonggu couldn’t see the coordinates either, and Yeongwoo retrieved the locator.

“Whether it’s a laser gun or anything else, it seems like you need equipment that requires coordinates to activate.”

“Then isn’t it trash for the majority? Selling this for money.”

“But for me, it’s an indispensable piece of equipment.”

After saying this, Yeongwoo glanced up and down at Kim Jeonggu, who had nothing to carry, just like Jang Jeongho.

“What about you, father?”

“Huh?”

“Why are you here without collecting funds?”

Swoosh.

Now Yeongwoo moved the Bastard habitually.

He even mounted on Pofu Tenta, making it quite intimidating.

“W-What are you talking about? We’re still in progress.”

Jeonggu said this while looking at Jo Sangik on the other side.

Thanks to the people sent by Seoul National University in Gwanak, the fundraising is still ongoing even at this hour.

“But the fact that it’s ten million, when I think about paying it myself, it’s a huge amount of money. If they keep asking for money in the future, those people won’t just sit still.”

This time, due to the ‘Dragon Shock,’ everyone donated without much resistance, but it was a story about whether it would continue like that in the future.

They are supposed to be the Strongest Swords in each region, but wouldn’t they rather gather money for protection and start a coup?

“We need to be careful. There’s no eternal leader in this world.”

As Jeonggu cautioned with concern, Yeongwoo’s gaze turned towards the Strongest Sword in the audience.

More precisely, he was looking at the coordinates above their heads.

“So, instead of settling, we should keep moving forward. Stronger firepower, stronger bodies.”

“…Is it right to use the phrase ‘not settling’ like that?”

As the two exchanged meaningless words, a man with a backpack full of bags appeared from across the hotel.

It was none other than.

『Mapo’s Strongest Sword』

Yang Wootaek.

“Hey there.”

Wootaek looked at the Strongest Swords gathered in the hotel lobby and waved to Yeongwoo with a cool smile.

He brought the promised money.

With this, 30 million karma has been collected.

-Kikkit!

Before Yeongwoo could give instructions, golden goblin popped out and swept the backpacks Wootaek brought into pocket dimension pouch.

Thus, Yeongwoo’s cash reserve, which had just exceeded one million karma not long ago, skyrocketed with tremendous momentum.

* Available Karma: 31,274,500

‘Now, only Eunpyeong is left.’

If Eunpyeong Strongest Sword brings the money as promised and the fundraising in his father’s constituency, Dobong, is successfully completed, he will secure about 50 million karma by the end of today.

‘Then there shouldn’t be a big problem with acquiring the encyclopaedia.’

Basically, it’s the value of Yeongwoo’s life.

Do they really understand these circumstances?

“….”

Yeongwoo glanced briefly at the Strongest Swords discussing the coordinate locator, then felt a vibration outside his thigh.

“What’s this?”

As he reached into his pocket, he saw the Epic Compass ‘Fearful-Cat’ awake and whimpering.

It meant a threatening presence was approaching nearby.

“…?”

For Yeongwoo, it was a phenomenon he couldn’t help but find strange.

The dragon that appeared in Seoul today had already been dealt with, and even if there were any unprocessed mutants somewhere, they shouldn’t be strong enough for the cat to react like this.

And it’s not like the compass malfunctioned… Whatever it was, there was a problem.

“Something’s coming.”

“What? What are you talking about?”

Ignoring Jeonggu’s raised eyebrows, Yeongwoo ordered Pofu to move him outside the lobby.

-Bath!

As Pofu, at Yeongwoo’s command, stepped out of the hotel gate with him on his back, the rest of the Strongest Swords followed suit.

“Yeongwoo, what’s going on all of a sudden?”

“What… could it be a test fire?”

Various regional champions walked out of the lobby with puzzled expressions.

Then immediately.

“Gasp.”

“Oh my.”

“What, what’s…?”

They all brought their hands near the scabbard with widened eyes.

This was because they could clearly see it from in front of the hotel.

Quarrrrrr…!

The sight of the sky over Gwangjin-gu on the other side of the Han River turning ominously dark.

Moreover, not only the sky but all the spaces above the ground in Gwangjin-gu were dark.

And the reason was.

Quaaaa!

It was because of the black rain pouring crazily from the cloudy sky.

“The rain… is black?”

Seongbuk’s Strongest Sword, Lee Yoobin made a grim expression.

She had directly witnessed abnormal weather occurring in specific areas when the dragon appeared today.

“Um, Yeongwoo, maybe…”

As Yoobin instinctively tried to ask for the opinion of Joseon Strongest Sword, Jeong Yeongwoo, Yongsan Strongest Sword, Kim Doha, was already standing behind him.

“Were there another dragon…? Mr. Yeongwoo can handle that too, right?”

Kim Doha, trying to hide under the shadow of Joseon Strongest Sword with confidence.

Yeongwoo smiled more kindly than ever at Doha’s behavior.

“Of course. According to your expression, what I received today is protection money, isn’t it? If I receive money, I should deliver its value.”

As Yeongwoo said this, Jang Jeongho widened his eyes and pointed towards the direction of Gwangjin-gu.

“No? Isn’t that feeling of something approaching?”

As he said, the clouds and black rain covering the sky of Gwangjin-gu were gradually expanding their area.

‘Whatever it is, it seems to be coming this way.’

Swoosh.

As Yeongwoo signaled for Negwig to approach, Jeonggu, who had drawn his sword, asked with a tense voice.

“Wha… what’s going on?”

“Somehow, it doesn’t seem to be a dragon… Anyway, we should see what’s coming.”

If the opponent had been a dragon, they would have found someone who received the mark of an adversary like Lim Kwangho.

But this guy who appeared this time showed up on this land without any warning.

Click.

Soon, as Yeongwoo mounted Negwig again, Songpa’s Strongest Sword Oh Yeonhee approached with her Scimitar drawn.

“Let’s go together. Mr. Yeongwoo, you’re not the only Strongest Sword.”

“Yes. It’s better if there are many people to fight together.”

Yeongwoo didn’t oppose the participation of others.

If the laser cannon wasn’t fully completed yet, they needed to supplement the firepower even if it meant they were short in numbers.

‘I don’t even know if there’s a generator up there. First, let’s request artillery fire, and if there’s no response, I’ll have to blow the whistle.’

After Yeongwoo made his own plan, he directed Negwig towards the direction of Gwangjin-gu.

Taat!

Then, Oh Yeonhee followed closely behind, and the rest of the Strongest Swords followed one after another in order of bravery.

Of course, the last one was Yongsan’s Strongest Sword Kim Doha.

Tatat!

Nine Strongest Swords, including Yeongwoo, went out.

However, most of them were moving together with the belief that Joseon’s Strongest Sword Jeong Yeongwoo would somehow resolve it.

“Does Seoul usually get crowded like this?”

Yangju’s Strongest Sword Choi Jongseon asked Lee Yoobin, who was running right next to him.

To which, Yoobin chuckled and replied.

“After that person appeared, things like this often happen.”

The person she mentioned, of course, meant Yeongwoo.

And right at that moment.

Quaaa!

Yeongwoo, who was leading from the front, stopped Negwig.

Finally, because they could see the Cheongdam Bridge connecting Gangnam and Gwangjin, the problem was.

Quaaaaa……!

About seventy percent of the Cheongdam Bridge was already engulfed by the black rain.

‘No matter how you look at it, it’s abnormal weather. Can I take these people inside?’

Since Yeongwoo wasn’t immune to all abnormal weather, he couldn’t move recklessly.

So, what he thought was.

‘Since I had to make it rain golden rain in Gangnam anyway, if it comes this far, I’ll use the orb.’

The hidden effect of the golden rain, which is to release abnormal weather.

“I should prepare to sprinkle some rain.”

As Yeongwoo said this, the golden goblin rummaged through its pouch and took out a golden orb.

-Kik!

And at that moment.

Kurrrrng……!

The sound of thunder from the pitch-black clouds seemed to be coming from directly above them.

Taat, tatat!

Then, irregular footsteps began to be heard from inside the darkness-shrouded Cheongdam Bridge.

“Huh……?”

“Huh.”

Naturally, all eyes in the audience turned to the Cheongdam Bridge.

While most thought it was the footsteps of a mutant, Yeongwoo’s opinion differed.

-Gyaaaong.

The Fearful-cat, still with its eyes wide open, was looking beyond the dark clouds above the Cheongdam Bridge.

And above all.

Taat… Tatat!

The rhythm of the problem footsteps was familiar for some reason.

“It… It seems to be a person?”

As Yeongwoo, who realized something, alone guided Negwig towards the direction of the bridge, Jeonggu’s voice was heard from behind.

“Be, be careful! Yeongwoo…!”

And almost at the same moment.

…Taat!

Now, from within the black rain that had swallowed nearly ninety percent of the Cheongdam Bridge, a person of a small build staggered out.

Tatat.

The person in question was none other than.

“Oh… oh…!”

It was Kim Hyeonggyu, the Eunpyeong Strongest Sword, who looked almost like he was about to cry with joy when he saw Jeong Yeongwoo.

He was a rookie who joined the Seoul Alliance after the Strongest Sword gathering in Paju.

“Yeongwoo!”

Hyeonggyu came towards Yeongwoo with his arms outstretched, looking almost like he was melting into the mud.

Upon seeing the broken sword in his right hand, Yeongwoo asked.

“What happened to this?”

And as Hyeonggyu passed by Negwig tremblingly, as if he needed to escape from something.

“Sorry…”

“…What?”

“It’s so strong… All my money was taken away.”

“What, what happened? Did someone rob you? My ten million?”

At the dreadful news, Yeongwoo perked up his ears, and just then, the rain that had completely engulfed the Cheongdam Bridge began to pour over Yeongwoo and Negwig.

Quaaaaa……!

At that moment, a feeling of exhaustion swept over him, and his stomach turned queasy.

“What’s this? It seems like there’s a debuff attached to the rainwater.”

And then.

Thud!

“…?”

Boom!

A heavy footstep echoed from inside the dark Cheongdam Bridge.

This was unmistakably a sound of something inhuman.

Upon this, Yeongwoo slowly withdrew the sidearm from his hip and gradually retreated Negwig backwards.

He didn’t want to fight on top of the Cheongdam Bridge, for fear of collapsing it.

‘It looks like the fight is going to happen in Gangnam this time.’

Fortunately in the midst of misfortune, this area was a park, so as long as the battle didn’t drag on too long, nearby residences wouldn’t be destroyed.

Thud!

Soon, the footsteps sounded much closer than before.

And then suddenly.

Bang!

With a weighty metallic sound, a massive iron club was slammed into the end point of the Cheongdam Bridge.

“What…?”

Seeing the size of the club, Yeongwoo sensed that the opponent’s stature must be enormous.

And indeed.

Kwoong!

The owners of the iron club that appeared next revealed gigantic figures.

-Kruuk.

In front of Yeongwoo were two Yakshas, each standing at a towering height of 5 meters.

“Huh? Yakshas?”

Yeongwoo’s eyes widened as he confirmed the monsters’ appearance.

As far as he remembered, North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong-un was supposed to return as the Golden Yaksha.

So naturally, the mutants he brought along should be.

‘…Yakshas.’

Just as Yeongwoo reached this conclusion, the object held in the left hand of the second Yaksha caught his attention.

“Hey, isn’t that my money pouch?”

Pointing with his hand while pushing aside the rain, Yeongwoo accused the problem object, causing the Yaksha to glare at him with malicious intent.

-Kruuk.

“Not this, this one, you bastard.”

Bang!

Yeongwoo threatened with the Bastard menacingly as he activated the golden orb held aloft by the golden goblin with the other hand.

Although his heart was racing with the prospect of losing tens of millions of karma right before his eyes, he couldn’t afford to lose the fight.

Shuaaaaat!

The orb soon made contact with Yeongwoo and exploded into a golden trajectory, pushing back the black rain from the sky.
