“Thank you so much, truly!”
“I never imagined that I could catch that guy so easily…”
Lorenzo and Marco return to Priolo again.
The two people held my hands repeatedly and thanked me.
“Please treat me to another meal later, Marco.”
“Of course. Loosen your belt and come prepared.”
After I installed a subspace portal in Priolo, I shipped them as much food and other supplies as they needed.
Since the villagers are serious about food, having a variety of ingredients will be quite helpful.
‘Thanks to you, I guess it’s okay to leave it like this.’
Priolo, Evans’ personal paradise.
The bulwarks he had installed were still functional, so Priolo was set to be transformed into a paradise for its residents.
Not only was it not an area where you had to worry about monster waves, but most invaders tended to seek out densely populated areas.
Even though the Earth is covered in destruction, it would be okay to leave a small town like this as a peaceful picture.
“Come again. You must come again.”
“Of course.”
After exchanging a final greeting with Marco, I slowly walked out of the portal.
.
.
.
The place I escaped through the portal was Elvenheim.
After hunting the Romanian vampires, I left the loot I got from them with Cooper.
Before heading to England, I had just received word from Cooper that a suitable item had been completed.
“oh······?”
“Try it on. Isn’t it a little rough?”
A long coat with a variety of shades of brown and black, with fine veins.
It was an item made by processing the wings of vampires that boasted strong bulletproof power.
He answered while putting on the coat he had handed him.
“This has its own kind of rough taste, doesn’t it?”
Because it was so tough, the coat was made with minimal processing, and thanks to that, its unique straight, straight lines came to life.
Even though they were the remains of vampires that had burned to death, it felt like their sharp teeth were still hidden in their pointed collars.
Thanks to the length that covered the lower part of the calf, it was like wearing a large shield around the body.
“Would you like to try it?
“That’s great. I just happen to have something we can test together.”
He immediately took off his coat again and hung it on the tree.
Then, from a good distance away, he took Evans’ pistol out of his pocket.
As the angular black automatic pistol came into view, Cooper’s eyes lit up from a distance.
“You brought something fun again this time.”
A unique automatic pistol that fires without bullets.
Considering that regular firearms had to be individually reinforced down to the bullets, it was a practical weapon that could save the limited resource called reinforcement stones.
Of course, this wasn’t a problem for me, as I could copy reinforced bullets indefinitely.
Ping! Ping! Ping!
A beam of light the size of a grain of sand shot out from the gun.
Judging by the fact that the light weakens with distance, it seems to have a short range, but does not require bullets.
“Let’s leave this aside.”
But what was important was not the pistol, but the vampire’s wings.
Because this gun was not mine, but the weapon of Toton Investment’s investment agents.
Cooper added, looking at the vampire coat he had just pulled off the road from the tree.
“That’s great! There’s no more scratches.”
Even though the shot was fired from fairly close range, the coat was intact.
This means that even without using the portal as a shield, you can defend against their gunfire with just the coat.
Wrapping myself in Cor again, I flapped my thick vampire wings and slowly headed towards the portal.
A long coat and a pistol.
It was the perfect outfit to face the gloomy London weather.
Portals were also installed in London.
It was thanks to the installation of the Gate Portal in Permegon, but the Red Gate was not installed in London, perhaps because the area had already suffered too much damage.
“···I guess I’ll have to cross the river.”
Lee Yong-soo, who had escaped the portal together, said.
Evans revealed that Totten Investments was hidden in the Palace of Westminster, home to the British Parliament, across the River Thames from Lambeth, where the portal was installed.
“I remember the first time I went to Yongsu’s house.”
“Haha… I hope my legs are fine this time.”
Since the distance was not that far, we decided to drive only a moderate distance.
We could have used a helicopter, but London was their stronghold.
There was no need to make a big fuss and show up first.
CLANG!
He parked his silver Korando on the side of the road and got into the vehicle with Lee Yong-soo.
While the twelve knights of Camelot who had joined in Athens were hovering around the roof antenna in a ‘ghost’ state, Lee Yong-soo started the engine.
“Then let’s go.”
Booooooong···
London is notorious for its traffic congestion, but surprisingly the roads were clean.
It was as if something had swept over, and the cars on the road were all overturned and lying on the side of the road or on the sidewalk.
Of course, there were times when wrecked vehicles would block the road, but in those cases, you could just take a detour or get off for a while and switch to a newly released vehicle.
Like a seasoned London taxi driver, Lee Yong-soo makes his way through the winding alleys of the empty city.
He must have been thinking the same thing, as he grabbed the steering wheel and opened his eyes squintingly as he spoke.
“I heard that London taxi drivers don’t use navigation systems. They have to memorize every single street and store, tens of thousands of times···”
It seems that they felt their abilities once again as they made their way through the complicated passages.
but···
“Well, even so… it probably doesn’t mean much right now.”
Lee Yong-soo added, looking around with a bitter expression.
Because the city that had been attacked by monsters was reduced to a gloomy ruin.
“It’s a great ability, but… wouldn’t it eventually disappear anyway?”
“···Could that be so?”
“Even at the logistics center where I worked, there were hardly any people. There were just robots running around all the time.”
Even before the destruction, another destruction was already in progress.
With the explosion of technologies such as AI-controlled driverless taxis and driverless delivery drones, we are already being swept up in the rapid currents of the times.
There would be no room for the wisdom of a taxi driver who knows London at a glance.
Lee Yong-soo laughed heartily.
“This is true… Even if there had been no Chamber of Commerce, we would have been doomed because of Pax.”
Tiring!
[Yes.]
Pax, who plays along without any notice.
It was certainly as Lee Yong-soo said.
Because the world was becoming more advanced day by day, beyond the reach of any single individual.
Unlike the ancient times when heroes were active, people were shrinking in the shadow of the brilliantly developing civilization.
Each of us has lost our own role.
“Even so… this is better than the Chamber of Commerce, right?”
Tiring!
[Yes.]
The invasion of the Chamber of Commerce turned the whole tide.
The civilization that mankind had built up over thousands of years was destroyed, and the clock of history was also pushed back significantly.
An era where the individual’s awakening ability is more important, like the ancient heroic age.
Perhaps all of humanity had regressed to a distant past when war was fought every day.
Squeak!
The car that had exited the last alley finally reached the riverside.
“Fortunately, my leg is fine!”
Yongsu Lee drove with a bright expression, and we slowly crossed the Thames River via Westminster Bridge leading north.
But in contrast to the intact bridge, the clock tower, London’s symbol, had its roof blown off as if it had been bombed.
On the giant clock cut in half, the ticking hands hung pitifully in the center like survivors struggling to stay alive.
“You can’t see anything?”
“···Yes, I am sorry, my lord.”
It’s been two hours since the ghosts of Camelot were released into the Palace of Westminster.
The phantoms, able to pass through walls, searched the palace interior, but found nothing but broken windows and empty council chambers.
“hmm······”
First, I stepped inside the palace.
Since it was an empty space, there was no chance of encountering those ‘agents’.
A long corridor lined with large and small rooms, each divided into sections, appeared, and I quickly passed the door of a richly decorated reception room.
The location might not be wrong.
It wasn’t a lie, Evans said, as he made specific statements about Big Ben and the appearance of the Houses of Parliament.
But maybe there was something hidden that he wasn’t telling me.
So, I put aside my search for ‘Toton Investment’ for a moment and was just about to blankly look around the interior of the splendid palace.
“Huh?”
I discovered one peculiar thing.
Here and there.
Not all doors had doorknobs.
It’s just a rectangular hole.
I looked closely at the shape and slowly took Evans’ pistol out of my pocket.
“······This was it.”
When I roughly measured it, it was a size that would fit the muzzle of a square pistol.
A world where driverless taxis roam the roads and highly developed logistics networks dominate our daily lives.
From then on, in a world turned upside down, another law governed space.
By the way, wasn’t the Chamber of Commerce also releasing invaders onto Earth through the portal?
Perhaps, as the name ‘Dimension’ suggests, they may have been overlapping with us for a long time.
Crunch!
I put the pistol into the empty slot, and as if a handle had sprung up, the door closed firmly with a click.
“No matter how much I think about it… it must be in here.”
Like a broken Big Ben, the clock of humanity has stopped…
Perhaps, with the turning of this doorknob, the clock of humanity would start ticking again.
‘Toton Investment’.
Because the deep-pocketed investors will have to make Pax FC a business today.
The moment they crossed this threshold, the one-way invasion would turn into a two-way one, and if they continued to take those steps, they might eventually reach the Chamber of Commerce, the culprit of all the troubles.
Click!
I swung the door open in one breath.
and···
“Shoot, shoot!!”
Taaang! Taaang!
Agents of Toton Investment pour bullets at me as if they had been waiting for me.
Judging by the rough welcome, I was sure I had come to the right place.
They were guys who held the trigger as if they were going to take my breath away in one breath…
Ting! Teeing! Ting!
Unfortunately, their bullets did not reach my body.
The knights of Camelot were already lined up in front of me, each wearing a long, crimson coat.
Before moving to London, he had already supplied vampire coats to knights.
The Baron wasn’t the only vampire killed in Romania.
and···
Kugugugugu······
Behind the sturdy wall the knights had built, I launched a large ball that would knock on the new world.
Even though you’ve already crossed the threshold, shouldn’t you at least knock?
