“This time it’s Animal Farm······.”
Tiring!
[Yes.]
A new wave of monsters is predicted.
And as usual, I took advantage of the Chamber of Commerce facilities to look at the characteristics of the troops.
A wave of monsters consisting of toxic beasts, from mutant wolves to horned cows and headless eagles, was set to pour out of the Red Gate.
“Everyone seems to be moving quickly.”
As seen through the hologram, the most notable feature of these beasts is their mobility.
Thinking about that speed that must surely be threatening, I assessed Pax FC’s situation.
Excluding the relatively recently occupied areas, such as Eastern Europe from Vienna to Athens, and some cities in China, most of the rest were ‘sub-terminal’ forces that could handle the wave on their own.
further······.
“Other regions will increasingly become like that.”
A situation where I got my hands on Toton Investment and at the same time the field effects they had rolled in.
This ‘field effect’ was also a kind of good that could be traded or invested in.
Although it was given in the form of a document like a magic scroll or exclusive right, it could not be copied like a magic stone or reinforcement stone, apart from being brought into a subspace.
That much could be said to be regrettable, but······.
“It’s still sweet.”
As a so-called investment company, they had considerable resources, and thanks to that, they were able to obtain about 30 types of field effect documents.
If I had followed the normal business procedures as they suggested, I would have only received investment in one of these.
Moreover, it wouldn’t have been free.
Now the only question left was which field effects to apply and how.
I asked a question······.
“You have to choose between two methods?”
Tiring!
[Yes.]
Pax answered the question.
[You must choose between closed and open methods, and register a symbol unique to your business.]
Wide-ranging effects that apply across the entire area.
Unlike general skills, a separate medium was needed to indicate the area.
For example, while Olympus used the ‘temple’ and the vampires used the ‘bell tower’, Toton Investment created a special effect called the back space using the agents’ ‘pistols’.
However, all of these are ‘closed’ structures where symbols surround a specific space.
As someone who wanted to use the subspace portal as a symbol of Pax FC, it was a structure I could not adopt.
‘Of course······ I can’t just create it like I’m shooting a portal.’
Each subspace portal costs 1,000 magic stones to install.
It is impossible to have such a portal around every stronghold.
I answered Pax.
“We’re going to make it open. The symbol will be a subspace portal.”
[Understood.] [The open type applies the field effect to an area within a 500m radius from where the symbol is installed.] [However, the output is significantly weakened compared to the closed type.]
Field effect is further weakened by choosing ‘Open’.
I immediately started testing and applied some field effects to the simulated subspace.
First, let’s apply the effect of giving electrical stimulation to various places······.
“Kim Jeong-gyeom. Did you do this?”
Static electricity filled my whole body.
Kim Sol, whose short hair bloomed round like a dandelion seed, glared at me.
She grabbed the back of my neck and shouted, “Pikachu, one million volts,” and we both felt the thrill of electric stimulation, experiencing the power of the field effect without any filter.
‘······It’s so annoying.’
It was a strong static electricity, but······.
There was no way that I could deal with monsters with this level of effectiveness.
The second thing that was applied was the hypnotic effect.
“It’s Jeonggyeo-ni······.”
However, the only thing that happened was that the Manon tribe, who had been infused with melatonin, would gather around and fall asleep, and thirdly, when the field effect with a healing buff was applied, the elves, including Ellie, would just tumble on the bare ground, saying that their condition had improved somehow.
“I’m feeling down······Can I pick a song?”
“no.”
Either way, the effect is weak.
This was the result of choosing an open structure rather than a closed one.
“······Well, I guess there’s nothing I can do.”
It was a natural thing.
Because the installation method for the open type was much simpler than that for the closed type.
Compared to the closed type, which requires tens or hundreds of symbols to be placed around it, the open type is effective even with just one symbol.
It was certainly not very effective, but I still had no regrets.
Tiring!
[Depending on the business level, the power of the field effect can also be strengthened.]
‘Pax Investment’ will continue to grow in size in the future.
Moreover, most crucially······.
Tiring!
[If conditions are met, it is also possible to convert an open structure to a closed one.]
Changing the purpose is possible at any time as long as the conditions are met.
I decided to look at it a little longer.
Although its power is insignificant now, there will come a day when Pax FC’s subspace portals will cover every corner of the Earth.
When that day comes, the current ‘open’ structure will become a ‘closed’ structure for the entire Earth, and an unprecedentedly powerful field effect will surround the entire Earth.
of course······.
“It’s not like it’s useless right now.”
I intended to use it sparingly, even if the effect was weak.
Field effects applied on a per-area basis were the best means to counter the waves of monsters that were occurring all over the world.
Flipping through the paper documents listing the field effects, I looked closely at which field effects I would apply right away.
fortunately······.
“If there’s an effect that fits a subspace portal that sucks in anything······ then this is it.”
The worry didn’t last long.
Kueeeeee······.
Three waves of monsters cleared in one breath.
The corpses of mutant beasts were strewn all over Hangang-daero.
“Come on! Let’s do this quickly! We have many places to go today!”
“yeah!”
The Avalon foreman shouted, and Avalon men with butcher knives followed him.
Then, while whistling and dancing with his sword, he began to butcher the monsters’ corpses in an orderly manner.
“Product recall.”
This was also just a matter of organizing.
As I sucked up the meteorite bombs and meteoroids embedded in the asphalt, I was reminded of the power of the newly applied field effects.
“Well, I would have won even without it······.”
The effect I chose was to strengthen the ‘gravity’ of the surrounding ground centered around the portal.
Although the effect was small, it still had a significant impact.
‘Especially since it was a monster wave.’
A monster wave where hundreds of monsters pour out at once.
The field effect that granted ‘gravity’ pulled their bodies towards it, creating a sort of bottleneck for the monsters that were coming in droves.
And the effects of this were compounded and compounded, and it was as if they were putting the brakes on their advance, just like rush hour.
‘It definitely······helped with the attack.’
There was nothing easier to catch than trapped, squirming monsters.
Moreover, since it was a ‘gravity’ effect, my ability to throw objects using subspace portals and the power of the turrets firing meteor bombs were bound to increase by leaps and bounds.
Because the massive weight of the meteor accelerated along with gravity.
Of course, since it was a gravity effect that worked on the ground, it had no effect on aerial monsters, but the elves positioned in the fortress quickly fired arrows, and were able to sink the giant monster into the gravity of the ground like a swamp.
“Busan is just finishing up!”
“They say they’ve blocked Prague and Paris too!”
Victory reports keep coming in through the Paxmen.
Since all of these were places where subspace portals had been installed, new field effects were applied, and the previously very weak gravitational effect was accumulating on a large scale, approaching as a great sensation.
The monsters’ movements were slowed down by gravity.
On the other hand, our speed in dealing with them has increased.
First, the power of the sub-terminal that processed the wave was able to support other agencies, and overall, all the regions I belonged to were able to block the wave without any problems even without my help.
‘I guess I can go out and about now.’
Now, Pax FC’s power has grown considerably.
Even if a monster wave occurs in the future, you will be able to leave with peace of mind.
I was sitting in the logistics situation room, arms folded, quietly listening to the news of victory coming in from all over the world······.
“······Peking?”
There was only one region where the victory was not announced.
“Why there?”
It is a place guarded by martial artists including Unyang, and is one of the areas with the strongest power among the subterminals.
Since it was still a classic, something must have gone wrong.
A martial artist who came over from Beijing told me about the situation there.
“The battle is still ongoing. While the monster wave was advancing······ another dimensional force invaded from the north······.”
“ah······.”
We restored the dimension of the Retelians and stopped the wave of monsters that was coming from Earth.
But one thing still remained.
‘······The wave is not the problem anymore.’
Powers from other dimensions who have joined hands with the Chamber of Commerce to establish a nest on Earth.
They were expanding their territory like a cancer cell, and they would never stop until they had engulfed the entire planet.
Like Sabros, who almost took over the entire Rethel dimension.
“By the way······ You chose a time like this. Those guys will have to deal with Wave too.”
“That······ It seems that he has the ability to command beasts. In fact, he is even taming beasts and bringing them from other gates.”
Their true identity was Beast Tamers.
At least several thousand beasts.
To be able to tame that many at once was truly an incredible feat.
‘It’s the north······.’
The Earth was still covered with invading forces.
That was the original purpose of the conquest under the name of Pax FC.
Thinking back to the situation in Beijing where the battle was in full swing, I asked the martial artist.
“Did Unyang have anything special to say?”
“Yes, it just takes time… I said I would somehow stop them with my own power. Thanks to the field effect, their advance has slowed down considerably.”
He was not the type of person to abuse his power.
If he said that, it must mean that even martial artists can defend themselves to some extent.
No matter how many thousands of monsters ran rampant, the martial arts formations and swordsmanship of the martial artists were not something to be taken lightly.
I asked the Murim people for the last time.
“Where is their base?”
“First of all, the northern part of Hebei Province… Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The area above that is not yet known.”
It wasn’t a close distance.
However, if you move with Lee Yong-soo, it is a distance that can be reached within half a day.
If we went through the portal and headed north, we were confident that we would arrive faster than the monsters that had attacked Beijing.
Of course, it is important to block their attacks······.
“Tell Yunyang that we are going straight to Mongolia.”
“All right.”
I decided to go straight to slit the throats of my enemies.
While they were out of the house.
