Chapter 305: The Second Luxemb Defense War, Now That It’s Come to This 2
▶『Fifth token: Beastkin King』 : Temporarily possesses the soul of ‘Crouching Black Tail’, the first Beastkin King and King of the Ratmen. When possessed, all actions receive a + effect when dealing with Beastkin.
Kyung-joon immediately used the power of the Fifth token in Luxemb.
“Everyone, please build Energy Towers around the walls here, 10 meters apart.”
[The energy of Beastkin King ‘Crouching Black Tail’ dwells in the words.]
━Alright! Anything for Brother Kyung-joon!
━Let’s build them within 5 minutes!
━Let’s have a drink after we’re done! Hahaha!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Beastkin, with their strong physical abilities and competitive spirit, are building the Energy Towers very quickly.
Building the Energy Towers required not only physical strength but also the use of additional magic, but the Beastkin managed this as well.
[The energy of water dwells in the Energy Tower.]
[Regeneration increased.]
[The energy of earth dwells in the Energy Tower.]
[Durability increased.]
━Oh……! The day has come when I can use magic!
━So this is why those moth bastards always went on about magic!
━Now that we have our blessed bodies and can use magic, we Beastkin are the strongest in the world! Hahaha!
Beastkin who were born with severely degenerated or nonexistent mana cores and circuits, and therefore unable to use magic.
But now, with Kyung-joon’s help, they could use magic.
It wasn’t that Kyung-joon had implanted mana cores into each individual Beastkin like he had himself.
━Hey man! Next time, instead of these weird symbols, give me a tiger tattoo!
━We’re lions! Lions are the strongest!
━What? You wanna fight?
“Save the fighting for when we’re drinking after we’re done.”
━Alright! Hahaha!
All the Beastkin, who had taken off their shirts, had tattoos on their bodies that hadn’t been there before.
These weren’t just ordinary tattoos meant to look cool.
Each and every one of them was an Imprinting, and because of this, the Beastkin were able to freely use the magic needed for the Energy Towers.
Kyung-joon didn’t have to personally imprint each and every Beastkin.
There were now quite a few people in Arc-en-Ciel who could do Imprinting, and Kyung-joon could also imprint people with the ability to imprint.
In other words, if he imprinted a few people, they could spread the Imprinting far and wide.
In addition, many fairies and elves were currently undergoing training at Arc-en-Ciel and being dispatched to the field immediately, so there was no need to worry about a shortage of manpower.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The Energy Tower project in Luxemb is proceeding rapidly.
Before long, Energy Towers began to stand densely around the walls of Luxemb, without any gaps.
<Luxemb’s Foreign Minister>
▼Firma (NPC)
“Well, this is something. I never imagined I’d see the day when Beastkin would use magic to help build Energy Towers. Or is this just a natural occurrence, considering that you, Kyung-joon-nim, are the one overseeing this?”
“Haha, I’m not sure. I hadn’t really thought about putting Beastkin on the front line, but it’s actually working out quite well.”
The Beastkin were very profitable because their labor costs were low and their numbers were high.
However……
Rumble!
━Ugh! It collapsed!
━Hahaha! I knew it from the moment you were building so fast!
Crash!
━Ugh! Same goes for you!
━Hahahaha! I didn’t know that!
━Hehehe! Let’s just rebuild it quickly!
……There was some suspicion of shoddy construction, but it was okay.
If you build 100, 1,000 things very quickly, there’s bound to be a shoddy one here and there.
Kyung-joon smiled brightly and looked at Firma.
“Don’t worry too much. We’ll definitely provide after-sales service for any that don’t work properly.”
“Hahaha, alright. I understand that not everything can be perfect in times like these. I’m very grateful that you’ve been able to carry out the project so quickly.”
The two exchanged pleasantries and got down to business.
“So, with this, you’ve fulfilled your promise to provide national defense support.”
“Yes, thanks to Kyung-joon-nim. Now that the defense of Luxemb is largely entrusted to the Energy Towers, the existing troops will be able to move more freely.”
In the past, during the first Luxemb defense war, Kyung-joon and Firma had formed a kind of diplomatic relationship.
In exchange for Luxemb maintaining good relations with Kyung-joon’s Study Territory, they were to be given priority in the supply of Energy Towers and other things.
They were happy to protect Luxemb, and Kyung-joon was happy to make money and increase his diplomatic influence. It was a win-win situation.
Kyung-joon was doing in World what the US military was doing in South Korea by deploying THAAD.
“Now that the Energy Tower construction is complete, are you planning to invade Francois or Deutsch?”
“Originally, that would have been the case, but given the current situation, we’re going to use ‘defense’ rather than ‘invasion’ as a justification. Many countries besides Francois and Deutsch are suffering from mutant monsters.”
“Ah, I see. You mean you’ll use the pretext of protecting them from mutant monsters to bring your army into other countries?”
“Hahaha, you don’t have to be so blunt. It’s embarrassing, isn’t it? Certainly, with the magic engineering weapons that Kyung-joon-nim has supplied, it would be possible to occupy other countries with the blood of mutant monsters alone, without shedding human blood.”
It wasn’t just Energy Towers that Kyung-joon had supplied to Luxemb.
He had also provided magic engineering weapons that could wipe out mutant monsters in an instant.
Rifles, crossbows, bows, swords, spears, armor, shoes, gloves, and so on.
He had provided a wide variety of useful weapons.
Now, even soldiers in the level 100-200 range would be able to easily deal with mutant monsters in the level 300-400 range.
This would allow their levels to rise very quickly, making them even stronger and able to deal with even stronger mutant monsters.
This was the kind of tremendous positive feedback loop that Luxemb was hoping to benefit from.
“Really, it was a good decision to contact Kyung-joon-nim back then and maintain a good relationship.”
“That’s why they say it’s important to choose the right side. As long as you don’t switch sides, you’ll continue to prosper.”
“Haha, don’t worry about that. Didn’t you already mention it before? Energy Towers are already all over Luxemb.”
The fact that Kyung-joon’s Energy Towers were already installed in Luxemb meant that the turrets could potentially be turned inwards instead of outwards.
This was true.
Kyung-joon could change and designate the target of the towers at any time if he wanted to.
Of course, Kyung-joon didn’t mention this in detail and just smiled brightly at Firma.
“Come on, why are you making the atmosphere so tense? I just meant that we should maintain a good relationship in the future.”
“Hahaha, Kyung-joon-nim. Do you know when you’re the scariest?”
“Me?”
“Yes. You’re the scariest when you smile. Hahaha.”
“Hahaha. You’re quite the smooth talker, aren’t you?”
Kyung-joon said so and smiled even more brightly.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
Mutant monsters are rampant all over World.
Moreover, the scale and intensity were on a completely different level compared to the first mutant monster wave.
The entire World was engulfed in disaster, and people’s reactions to it varied.
In a city quite far from the Vatican in the Holy Cross Faction.
━Everyone……This city is over……
━We can’t hold on any longer……
━God……! Please save us……!
━God my ass! Didn’t you see the Holy Cross abandon us?! We’ve been abandoned by God!
━Everyone, take up arms and rise! Even if it means death, we will protect our city, our families there, at all costs.
Rumble!
The soldiers faced thousands upon thousands of mutant monsters, prepared to die.
But then it happened.
[Epic Item 『Group Warp Scroll personally inscribed by Fairy King』 has been used.]
Woooong!

“Hmph……It reminds me of the time when I hunted mutant monsters with the boy, back to back.”
<Player Rank 11>
▼BlackChef (Player)
“Mutant monster meat is a bit nasty, but if you cook it right, it’s delicious, you know?”
<Player Rank 23>
▼BJMiguning (Player)
“Hello everyone~ Today, I’m going to show you a video of ranked players wiping out mutant monsters in an instant. With this ‘magic engineering weapon’ that’s all the rage these days!”
<Player Rank 37>
▼SurvivalKing (Player)
“Whoa! Be careful. Those are mutant monsters. They’re all dangerous. So……actually, there’s not much information about them. They suddenly appeared and started attacking everything in sight. The only advice I can give beginners is to just run away. While praying that the monsters don’t have any movement skills.”

“It seems like I won’t be able to film anymore. It looks like SurvivalKing is about to die.”

“Is this the second jumping event the Study was talking about?”
“I heard you level up by almost 2-3 levels every time you stop a wave of mutant monsters.”
“But are we really going to be able to kill those things with these weapons?”
“What, is this your first time participating? Just trust me and fire away. They’ll all be wiped out.”
Dozens of ranked players and hundreds of other players.
Under Kyung-joon’s direction, they warped to the war zone instantly using the warp scroll personally written by Fairy King.
━W, Who are you……
The soldiers were bewildered by the sudden appearance of the players.
Then, BJMiguning exclaimed”Oops!”and approached the soldiers.
“All the soldiers here, please remember this one thing! It wasn’t the Holy Cross that saved you, but Kyung-joon and Kyung-joon’s players!”
The soldiers were dumbfounded by BJMiguning’s words.
They couldn’t understand why she would suddenly say such a thing, especially after appearing out of nowhere.
But they soon understood what she meant.
It was literally what she said.
Rattle! Rattle! Rattle! Rattle!
Slash! Slash!
Boom!
Kaboom!
From magic engineering bullets to amplified sword attacks and shots, reinforced dolls, pigeons, Swiss Army knives, cameras, kitchen knives, and all sorts of things came pouring in.
Whoosh……
The mutant monsters were instantly incinerated and turned to ashes.
“Hey, you crazy BlackChef bastard, why are you throwing a kitchen knife at me?”
A sharp kitchen knife was lodged between BJMiguning’s fingers.
“Your movements have changed a lot since before, haven’t they, kid?”
“Alright, let’s try to kill each other. I’ll pay you back for all the times my head got chopped off before.”
[BJMiguning’s broadcast chat window]
━Miguning, win!
━Take down BlackChef!
━Remember the training you had at the jumping event!
━Waaaaaaaaaah!
━What the lolololㅋ Why are the other players fighting?
Crash! Bang! Slash! Swoosh!
Starting with BJMiguning and BlackChef, the players suddenly started PK-ing each other.
The mutant monsters were mostly gone, but the situation quickly turned into chaos.
━W, What the……
The soldiers couldn’t comprehend the unbelievable situation that had just unfolded.
The otherworlders who had suddenly appeared wiped out the mutant monsters in an instant and then started fighting amongst themselves.
“Ugh.”
[BlackChef has been forcibly logged out.]
[BJMiguning wins!]
“Yay! I won!”
The battle ended with BJMiguning’s victory.
The training she had undergone at Study Territory had not been in vain.
“Then, the soldiers over there, please help us clean up the remaining monsters! I’ll play a song!”
Miguning took out her mandolin and immediately started playing music.
[Epic Skill 『Military Song: The Last 5 Minutes』 ]
[Lane sustain increased by 100%, defense increased, buff lasts until retreat, forced logout upon retreat, and NPCs will faint.]
“Hawaawa. This is my favorite military song.”
MilitaryWifeHighSchoolGirl, stimulated by the military song, summoned her dolls.
▶Doll 1: Even the suffocating pain, the bone-chilling agony~♩
▶Doll 2: Endure and persevere until the moment of victory~♪
▶Doll 3: If we retreat, everyone will fall~♬
▶Doll 4: Victory lies in the last 5 minutes~♩♪♬
━Woooh……! I suddenly feel energized……!
━This is……no ordinary music……!
━For the Republic of Korea!
━What’s the Republic of Korea?
━I don’t know! Let’s just cheer!
A vigorous Taegeukgi spirit circulated among the soldiers who had fallen into despair.

And watching this crazy scene unfold on the broadcast was.
“……What a crazy game.”
AngerManagementVodka and.
“Well, as long as they’re having fun, isn’t that all that matters?”
Kyung-joon.
“It seems like the war in World is going well.”
Kyung-joon said so and got up from his seat.
This was reality, the basement of a building in Vladivostok.
However, all around him were various magic engineering weapons from World, neatly stored and organized by type.
These were the things that Kyung-joon had brought with him when he came over from World to reality.
“We’ll be sending weapons over here periodically whenever the dragons’ mana recovers.”
There wasn’t much that the dragons and elves of the Dragonian-Elven Alliance in Magic Engineering Revolution could do.
This was because they were beings who were far removed from technology.
However, their high mana pools were very useful.
They could use their overflowing mana as energy to connect reality and World.
Even now, magic engineering weapons were continuously being transferred not only throughout World, but also to reality through Huma’s computer.
Kyung-joon looked at AngerManagementVodka with a very serious expression and said,
“Mr. Vodka. You will be waging a war that will take over the entire world’s underworld, including the Chinese Triads, the Japanese Yakuza, the European and Russian Mafia, and the American and Mexican Mafia. The time is six months from now. Prepare yourself starting now.”
