The Bois de Boulogne…

Located in the city of Paris, this forest park was a beautiful resting place for Parisians and a wonderful thing to see whenever they looked west from the Eiffel Tower. It was a place Paris’ citizens deserved pride at having made it, and the tourists who visited Paris remembered.

Kkii!

But at this moment it was a nightmare for the citizens of Paris.

Kkik Kkik! Kkiee!

Shriek!

“Shut up! Be quiet.”

“Goddamn it, damn it—”

Countless people were shivering in terror at the shrieks of dozens of Goblins. None of them were healthy. Not only were most of them covered with wounds, but not a few of them were barely breathing, bones broken and already unconscious. In addition, they were all muddled up with their own or others’ waste, because they didn’t have a chance to clean themselves. It was the fate of uncared-for livestock.

“Aaaaaargh!” A scream was heard by the people living in the sordid, miserable conditions. The scream, which rose far away, was strong enough to shake the Bois de Boulogne forest.

“Sa, save me! Don’t eat me! Please don’t eat me!”

The horrible scream that followed drove the survivors thicker and deeper into despair.

“Aaaaaargh!”

Khuck! Khuck!

As soon as the scream that shook the forest was gone, the breathing of those still alive stopped for a while.

‘Damn it…’

‘It’s a dream. It must be a dream.’

Everyone was tight-mouthed, forgetting to breathe, and forced themselves to savor the fear.

Kkiyr, kkiyr! Kkii!

Goblins who looked at them whet their appetite. But a Giant Goblin with yellow eyes looked on with glaring eyes and warned the Goblins with its gaze: the humans here were emergency food, so don’t even think about taking a nip.

Kkii…

In the end, some Goblins couldn’t resist their hunger, and they ran to the lake in the Bois de Boulogne forest nearby. They drove their heads into the lake and began to drink deeply.

Kkiik? One of the Goblins who had been drinking so much water stopped and looked up, as it felt something strange. The Goblin rolled its orange eyeballs around, but there was nothing strange about the lake.

Kkii? The Goblin tilted its head once and then pushed its head back into the lake to drink again.

At that moment the Goblin was able to identify the strange scent it had felt.

Kkii! The Goblin saw soldiers made of earth moving under the lake.

Kkii! Kkii! As soon as the Goblin backed away in a fright, the soldiers moving under the lake appeared.

Kkieeee! The Goblins who were drinking water in front of the soldiers were horrified.

Boom!

It was a good response to the appearance of the soldiers, who boasted a huge height of four meters.

Kkieeeeek! The reaction of the Goblins began to burst forth throughout the Bois de Boulogne forest.

The slaughter began.

‘Oh, my God.’

In front of Leo there was now a Giant Goblin; a giant, big enough to be an Ogre, rather than a Goblin, with fangs that reminded him of Shabel Tiger, and blue eyes. This was the second time he had seen this Goblin.

The first time, Leo saw this huge Goblin from a very long distance. When its bell-like cry came out of its mouth, he fainted. It was as it was. Leo’s reason was cut off, and his body collapsed like a broken doll.

When he opened his eyes again, hell was already out. In the hands of the Goblin Corps, people were treated like meat, not just corpses, and some had been taken alive to the Bois de Boulogne forest.

‘This ridiculous monster…’

In such a situation, the Goblin in front of him, the Goblin King, walked leisurely around the city of Paris, eating. It pulled off the head of a man who fainted in its way, then chewed it like a candy and filled its belly. The number of heads it had eaten was at least three hundred!

Leo, who had run away with his lover before this, Katrin, prayed earnestly to God at that moment. ‘Please don’t let me see this monster again.’

But now he had seen the Goblin again.

‘I can’t believe it was so easy to kill.’

Goblin King was crumpled in front of Leo, a corpse with a frightened face. There were five swords in its chest, like a flower arrangement.

‘Am I dreaming now?’

Leo turned his head as if he couldn’t believe this nonsense. The scene around him was hard to understand. Goblin bodies were ripped up, and there stood soldiers of ancient China, made of earth, who could only be called giant statues. The spears, swords, and feet of the soldiers were stained with dark red blood.

The blood reminded Leo of the giants’ stabbing and the Goblins that became meatballs in front of them. It was a sight so pathetic that the Goblins looked more pitiful than anything else.

‘Ah!’ The last place Leo’s gaze went to was the sky.

As the man fell down on the corpse of the Goblin King with a thump, the five swords stuck in the chest of the Goblin King moved by themselves and began to orbit him like satellites.

He drove his arm deep into the bloody chest of the Goblin King and pulled it out quickly. In his hands was a brilliant blue jewel.

That was the end of the story of Mac Guild’s Master Kim Tae-hoon, which Leo would tell his lover and the people around him, and to himself for the rest of his life, savoring the memories instead of a drink.

=========

[Achieved Ability]

– The Dignity of the Goblin King (Grade 3): With the power of the Goblin King, you can force Goblins into submission.

=========

Kim Tae-hoon, who confirmed on his right hand with his black eyes, closed his eyes slightly. His expression, after closing his eyes, was not good.

‘It is much weaker than I thought for a blue grade.’

Kim Tae-hoon opened his eyes again and looked around. The newly acquired relics, the horse soldiers created by the Qin Shi Huang Sword, decorated his eyes. The pressure of the horses, which had become even greater thanks to the mana of the giant, was beyond description. In addition, the combat power of the giant horse soldiers was astounding.

Mere moments were enough for the horse soldiers to make the Goblin King and its elites, who had destroyed Paris, into corpses at once.

But in front of that fact, Kim Tae-hoon never fell into the illusion.

‘I can’t believe the power of Paris is this weak.’

Kim Tae-hoon, the city he knew as Paris, and France were strong. France was one of the five permanent members of the United Nations. If they had been weak, France would never have been given one of the five permanent seats of the United Nations.

‘No, it must have been weakened.’

Strength did not mean that it simply possessed nuclear weapons. It had many fighter jets, warships, and tanks. The strength that Kim Tae-hoon knew of was the power to survive the wars, surviving as a strong nation after the great wars that dominated human history for many years, including two World Wars.

Such Frenchman gave away Paris, the heart of the nation, so helplessly against the blue-grade monster. That was the reality of France now, the reality of Europe.

‘They’ve had their teeth pulled out perfectly; not only are they a toothless tiger, but they have become a toothless pig.’

They no longer had teeth to survive in the Age of Monsters.

‘This is his snare.’ It was what the Six Snakes wanted.

‘A beast without teeth can never be a beast. The toothless beast has no choice but to leave all its fate to the real beast in order to survive in the Age of the monsters.’

Of course, it was more important than anything for the Six Snakes, who were trying to control everything in the Age of Monsters. It was necessary to turn the beasts who could bite them into toothless dogs and pigs. The work of those Six Snakes was so perfect.

‘China and Russia have collapsed.’

China and Russia, two of the U.N.’s permanent members, had virtually collapsed. They could no longer exercise their proper powers.

‘France’s perfect teeth were pulled out.’

And at this moment, France clearly understood that it had no more teeth.

‘The British won’t be any different.’

With the situation in France like this, chances were not very high that Britain was different. It was doubtful how much Britain, which was completely and miserably sealed off, could have endured, compared to the Continental Sealing Act that France took to block off Britain.

‘Is the U.S. the only one left?’

Under these circumstances, the only country left was the United States.

‘It’s pathetic.’

In front of the facts, Kim Tae-hoon remembered his dream of the day again, and his dream of self-determination.

He had done everything. He killed the Emperor of Orcs, the Immortal Wolf, the Evil Dragon Fafner, the Dragon of Disaster, Quetzalcoātl. Nevertheless, he chose to die on his own. There was nothing left in the world. In fact, he could not keep everything he had wanted to protect so much.

‘Then, how is it now? There are no more predators with sharp fangs in the place where the Six Snakes have passed. Monsters, on the other hand, still inundated the world, and none of the purple-grade monsters have been killed.’

It was Mao Spencer who knew this better than anyone else.

He had not expected that Mao Spencer was a member of the Spencer family, the English aristocrats.

‘There will be no one in the world who knows that better than the one who planned it all. I’ll have to be determined about this.’

‘Naturally, Mao Spencer will somehow make active use of the situation. I will also have to. Anything he can do against an enemy like me will save his life.’

‘I will also have to prepare, so I can face him.’

When Mao appeared in front of Kim Tae-hoon, he was ready to make a choice with no regrets left.

Chirrup!

At that moment, a jade bird, an Okjo, flew over the shoulder of Kim Tae-hoon, who was in deep thought. He immediately looked at the Okjo, and it opened its mouth.

– Boss.-

Jang Sung-hoon’s voice that came out. His voice was heavier than ever.

-This is breaking news from General Vladimir. The mushroom clouds rose in Mongolia.-

He was quick to guess why. When Kim Tae-hoon heard the words, he could tell what Jang Sung-hoon would say next.

-The Orcs’ Emperor, the Orc Khan, is leaving Mongolia, moving to Kazakhstan. Its final destination is likely to be Europe.-

The Orc Khan was the Emperor of all the Orcs scattered around Mongolia, as well as of all the Orcs that had appeared in the world, and a monster with purple eyes! It was a crisis that the Six Snakes designed to become the true Messiah of Europe and the Vatican.

Now the Orc Khan was coming toward Europe. Not alone, but by forcing all the Orcs that existed on every road, leading over 100,000 Orcs this way!

‘I avoided the worst.’

Kim Tae-hoon was relieved by the fact. Right now Bogatyr’s Great Sword, which could kill the Immortal Wolf in Siberia, was buried in the collapsed Moscow Square, and the Orcs’ Emperor was easier than the Immortal Wolf.

‘There is a way.’

The Six Snakes knew it too.

‘If there had been no way, he would not have chosen the Orcs’ Emperor as a European crisis.’

Furthermore, the Six Snakes would have already learned a way to attack the Orc Khan, and they prepared what they needed to do so. Otherwise, the Six Snakes would not have brought a purple-grade monster to Europe, which they wanted to be their stronghold.

‘All the relics of the Six Snakes are now mine, and so there is no reason I cannot kill the Orcs’ Emperor.’

Everything that the Six Snakes had prepared to deal with Orc Khan became his. There was only one thing left, to find out how to use the tools he had.

‘I must have the key in my hand; among the relics I have recovered, there is the key to killing the Orc Khan.’

– Ah, and I’m sorry to be late, but I know how to kill the Orc Khan.-

At that moment, Kim Tae-hoon turned his head and looked at the Okjo sitting on his shoulder. The Okjo spat out the remaining words.

– I saw it in my dream when having a drink yesterday.-

Vatican City…

The capital of Italy, the center of Rome, a majestic place, was now ruined.

Two men were talking to each other in the background of the terrible sight. When the conversation between them was over, one of them suddenly put something in his mouth. Then the man, after swallowing what he had put in his mouth, said with a salute, “Then, boss, I’ll see you again within four weeks.”
