298 – Chapter 12. gold rush (2)

5 minutes ago.

“Whoah!”

As soon as a group of people with special powers came out through a narrow hole, they stretched and adjusted their breathing.

“We’ve arrived. It’s here, right?”

“The GPS location is right here.”

Taking a breath inside the underground cave was like breathing in the dust, but since they had dug a fairly long tunnel, they were relieved just to have reached their destination.

“Is this really true? There’s nothing there? A gold vein?”

Rasputin surveyed the entire cavity.

The rather large cave was more like a natural cave than a man-made mine, and it didn’t look like it was touched by humans.

“It’s a vein of gold. It hasn’t been exploited yet. Reserves are…”

“It’s nonsense. That gold still exists today? It can’t be. It must have been robbed long ago during the Japanese occupation?”

“This ability is what makes that possible. Come this way.”

The Heavenly Demon shined a flashlight inward, infusing magical energy into her fist.

“Haap!”

She stretched her fist forward with a short spirit, and soon, dark blue magic power came out of her hand like a fist and flew forward.

Kwa-ang!

The fist-shaped magic bullet flew through the air and hit the wall, exploding.

Soon, the wall shook violently, and dirt flowed down, and the light from the flashlight began to shine golden through the collapsing walls.

“…Crazy. Is that real gold? Nonsense.”

“You may not have known, but this happened. This time, I’m sharing information with a big heart, so please be aware of it.”

After the Heavenly Demon approached the wall she had demolished, she lightly tapped the gold lump that was shining on the other side of the camouflage wall with her hand.

“You know that saying? ‘Money is copied’.”

“Isn’t that what people with special abilities say when money comes into their bank accounts?”

“Right. But try converting the money into gold there. Then the answer is simple, right?”

“What, alchemy?”

“perhaps.”

Tuk-tuk, tuk-tuk.

As the Heavenly Demon continued to knock the wall next to her with her hand and demolished it, gold ore began to glow even in the destroyed area.

“Crazy, is that all pure gold? How is this possible?”

“Do you think it’s right to say ‘how’ in the modern era of superpowers?”

“No, but this isn’t it. If a gold mine is like this, how can I dig it up? It’s a waste.”

Goo goo.

Soon, the entire wall collapsed.

When all the camouflage walls had collapsed, the entire inner wall of the vast cavity was glittering with gold.

“……Five large containers in the port won’t be enough.”

“Will it end with five? What if it’s more deeply rooted underground?”

“Crazy. How is this possible?”

It’s an underground cave, so I can’t say for sure because the lights from flashlights and smartwatches are all there, but there was a large, shiny mass like a huge gold Buddha statue in a temple.

“You must be crazy and crazy. What is this?”

“I don’t think anything has been confirmed on the Vladivostok side yet. It’s been confirmed on our side.”

“If you’re going to tell me, just tell me coolly. What is this?

“It’s because it has magic power. Maybe it’s because it’s a resource buried in great Korea. There are many possibilities, but we decided to call it ‘resource assimilation’ for now.”

“Resource assimilation?”

“The surrounding resources are turning into very expensive and valuable resources.”

The Heavenly Demon raised her hand to the gold with a voice wondering if this was right even though she was talking to herself.

“I don’t know. Is someone with this ability of alchemy changing the resources in this land at will, or is the world changing with the magic spread by an alien meteorite that fell in the Sea of Japan?”

“Ha, hahahaha. Then all the jewels in the world will come out by type only from North Korea?”

“I see. Oil might come out from Taean offshore later. Well, think about that phenomenon later.”

snug, snug.

The Heavenly Demon hit the gold nugget again with her hand.

It was not a hollow sound, but a heavy resonance that seemed to touch the hearts of those gathered in the common room.

“Let’s cut this quickly, then brush it off. Let the researchers think about the principle later, and for now-don’t!”

As soon as the Heavenly Demon’s cry resounded, something flew out of the darkness.

Fububuk!!

The sound of something sharp being stabbed into the body.

A sound reverberated throughout the cavity, as if in a historical drama war movie, an arrow shot far into a person’s body.

“Cuck!”

The talented people fall down.

All those who fell had black things like arrows stuck in their knees, and those next to them pulled out the arrows.

“Black…steel…?”

“Who are you!”

[You don’t need to know.]

“…You can tell who it is just by looking at this ability.”

Sup, Sup.

A man in a black suit walking out of the dark.

A man wearing black gloves on his head, wearing a rider’s helmet that was sold as a suit in the shade of the sun, slightly different from a motorcycle helmet, slowly emerged from the darkness.

“It’s been a while, Taejo.”

[…….]

“There’s no way there’s anyone else in Korea who can handle metal this well, besides you, right?”

[It’s quite tiring to have your true identity revealed just by using this ability. Even if you’re famous, it’s a mask.]

Flash!

An orange light burst into the air.

The light bounced off the ceiling and stuck to the walls, and soon the entire cavity was dyed orange and brightly lit inside.

[If you are in exile, you should live quietly in your own country, why do you want to come all the way to Korea to steal resources?]

“Oh, wasn’t this the land of North Korea?”

[Is it because I couldn’t learn? This has been Korean territory for a very long time. It was just that the North Koreans were recklessly occupying illegally.]

“It’s better not to learn such things than brainwashing education that teaches strange things.”

[Tsk. I can’t communicate.]

“You didn’t come to talk, did you?”

The Heavenly Demon came forward, fiddling with her clasped hands, and Rasputin stepped out beside her, stretching out both hands to the sides.

“hehehe, can I deal with the two?”

[What are you talking about, you who didn’t even reach S-class?]

“…Still a cheeky kid.”

Woo woo.

The blue crystal that stretched out from Rasputin’s hand began to take some form.

“Where, will that sound come out later even after being crushed by me? Huh? I’m looking forward to it. The sound of Ahmad Taejo crying.”

The crystal glowing with ether was like an elongated club.

The form at the end is an insidious form that is difficult to put into words.

[Sorry, but this is the side that makes me cry rather than cry.]

Taejo nodded his head from side to side and stretched out his hand forward.

[Don’t give in to the seon-gong.]

Pa-ah!

As soon as the Heavenly Demon and Rasputin disappeared from their seats at the same time, the battle between the S ranks began.

* * *

[brother. I guess he follows his brother?]

[me?]

[I thought it was a complete goblin Mk.2. Even the way he speaks and his lines are all similar to Doji Rider, right?]

[…maybe.]

He wanted to feel a sense of deja vu, but Taejo became a Taejo Rider and provoked the Heavenly Horse and Rasputin.

[There are more enemies than I thought. Don’t you have to go apply?]

Ymir’s worried voice echoed in my ears.

With Taejo and two A-class people, it seems like a heavy duty amulet to deal with so many people with special powers, even enemies that include two S-classes.

[While the S-classes are confronting, the other A-classes are now tied to the A-classes over there.]

[right.]

[Then, the gold nugget over there in the meantime… isn’t it all taken away?]

Kaga Gaga River!!

The battle unfolds throughout the joint.

Taejo will deal with the Heavenly Demon and Rasputin, while Giparang and Pisces will deal with other Chinese and Russian A-class opponents.

And in the meantime, people with special abilities, estimated to be of E class, wield magical shovels and wield them toward the gold mine.

Puck, puck.

The gold nuggets, shining bright like pure gold, came off so easily like tofu.

No matter how much gold it is, no matter how much it is an iron shovel, it is not a big problem in front of a person with special powers who has infused ‘mana’ into the iron shovel and strengthened his body with mana.

If we don’t sort it out quickly, if we don’t kick them out quickly, all of that gold will be smuggled out of the country.

[it’s okay. There is one, dangerous enemy, but it is at a level that can be fully covered.]

[Who is dangerous?]

[yes.]

A woman who was purely S-class in Korea.

In other words, it is an existence beyond Taejo’s S-class reading.

[Rasputin was below Taejo. It’s a case of being classified as S-class only after going to Russia and being nicknamed Rasputin. In Korea, it’s an A+ grade.]

[There is a possibility that he became stronger in the meantime. Rasputin, one of the top three in Russia. If even the Heavenly Demon joins forces…]

[Taejo seems to be at a disadvantage.]

outwardly.

Since the battle is on the verge of happening, and Taejo’s other appearance, Ymir seems uncomfortable with Taejo being injured or dying here.

Crayfish are crab side, green is the same color, and the arm is baked inside.

No matter how Canadian he is, Ymir is now almost half Korean.

[Ymir. S-class, after all, the Hero Association decides, right?]

[Yes?]

[If that’s the case, the decision is made based on overall combat strength, including the ability to save people as a ‘hero’. However, there is a judgment that is missing one in that measurement.]

A part that can’t be said carelessly in the world of light.

[Lethal force.]
