Chapter 951

EP.951 Part 2 Chapter 9-08 Monster Blockade ver.2025

The serpent residing in City Hall became the ruler of Seoul after the collapse of Seoul following the Pyongyang Incident in 2012, claiming its throne at Seoul City Hall as an S-Rank Monster.

Its power was so immense it was reputed to be not just the strongest in Seoul, but arguably the second strongest in all of Korea—though technically ranked SS-Rank, it was a force even they would struggle against.

Even other S-Rank Monsters possessed enough strength to obliterate entire cities, yet the serpent in City Hall was considered S+ among S-Ranks—no exaggeration.

There’s another term for this beast of City Hall.

“The Dormant Dragon Awaiting Power.”

Though commonly associated with political jargon, its residence in Seoul City Hall wielded significant influence.

Why specifically “Dormant Dragon”?

Was there some political reason behind the naming?

Nope.

There was no particular reason.

Back when strategies were being devised to handle monsters crossing the 38th parallel, this serpent simply swallowed up all the presidential candidates gathered at Seoul City Hall.

At that time, Sun Icheol wasn’t at City Hall but on Yeouido Island, ironically surviving and turning it into a political comeback opportunity while the serpent drastically reshaped Korea’s landscape.

If the City Hall serpent were to die, Seoul could return to its former state.

And if it perished…

Korea would gain access to a core capable of releasing more energy than an entire year’s worth of nuclear production: an S-Rank Core.

Given there are officially fewer than 200 known S-Rank Monsters worldwide, obtaining such a core would skyrocket strategic and economic value.

Not only that…

The cores already collected from clearing monsters around Seoul alone equaled or surpassed the value of one S-Rank Core.

While controlling south of the Han River might suffice…

Human greed knows no bounds.

If the northern side of the Han River were reclaimed…

If the Dormant Dragon were slain and the S-Core secured…

This nation could rise again, performing another miracle.

But as if to disrupt these thoughts, the monsters began rampaging uncontrollably.

“Shit! This is easier than blocking zealots!”

Countless monsters surged over Mapo Bridge.

Every time the K-2 Magical Rifles fired, monster heads exploded, their bodies falling into the river below and sinking beneath the water.

“Hey! Anyone got storm powers?!”

“Shut up! We’re Terrans, idiot!”

“Hey, you infested scum!”

“What?! Want a taste of infected Terran power?!”

Citizens of Seoul fought fiercely, pulling triggers against the onslaught of monsters crossing Mapo Bridge.

Despite nearly a hundred thousand citizens gathered at Mapo Bridge, ammunition supplies were limited.

Once bullets ran out, melee combat would commence.

“Monster buddies! Summon some lurkers or something, quick!”

“You’re a monster too, dumbass!”

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Those who transformed into monsters…

And those who remained human…

“Is the Han River still warm, guys?!”

All armed with K-2 Magical Rifles, they unleashed relentless fire.

When their ammo depleted, they retreated, allowing backup teams waiting behind to step forward and continue the barrage.

KEEEEYYYYY!!

The Han River turned into a graveyard of monster corpses.

Monsters resembling giant insects leapt like acrobats across the bridge, stepping on floating bodies of their fallen comrades.

“Just cast storm already!”

“This isn’t a game, moron!”

Frustrated by overwhelming numbers, citizens felt much like those defeated in ancient battles.

Even armed with K-2 Magical Rifles far superior to Gauss rifles, Seoulites couldn’t rest easy.

No matter how many they killed, there were always more.

Monsters spawned endlessly, leaving everyone utterly exhausted.

“Hold Yeouido at all costs until Commander defeats the City Hall Serpent!”

The sole hope of Seoul’s citizens rested on breaking the endless respawn mechanic caused by the City Hall Serpent.

Destroy it, and all monsters will perish.

“Commander said he’ll take it down soon! Everyone give your best effort to hold them back!”

“Dieeee!!”

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM.

With countless monsters surging north of the Han River, citizens trembled in fear yet held their ground, believing in Commander’s inevitable victory.

Meanwhile, at Seoul Station.

“Shouldn’t we set up some kind of defensive wall right about now?”

Architect pointed toward Yeouido, where monsters were heading.

“We could build a Great Wall across the Han River, easily stopping them.”

“Yeouido isn’t quite big enough for a thousand li wall though?”

“Figuratively speaking. Even building along the Han River would work with High-Ra’s support.”

Architect hoped to construct protective barriers for civilians.

Indeed, with Hydra backing him, robust defenses could easily be erected.

“No.”

But dramatic situations demand drama.

“Isn’t it cooler when monsters leap ashore from the water, charge straight at us, then vanish like mist before dying gloriously?”

“Oh, you mean ‘Anak Su Namoon’?”

“…Not exactly, but close enough.”

In ancient tales, cursed armies would disperse into mist upon breaking or restoring cursed objects just before attacking living beings—a classic yet effective scene.

To clearly show survivors amidst death, we let time drag unnecessarily.

Or rather, we allow ourselves to be dragged through time.

KEEEEYYYYYY!!

Cloth-wrapped monsters charged towards us, reeking of soju alcohol, stale cigarettes, and mixed coffee breath.

“Commander, shall I use magic to block our sense of smell…?”

“Sorry, can’t do that. My body can’t actively use magical power.”

Some things I can do; others I cannot.

Even E-Rank Special Ability users can perform feats I cannot.

Though my body prevents most special abilities, I possess a unique power unavailable to any ability user—but that’s only usable in bed, so it’s off-limits now.

“Damn. Guess I’ll have to resort to my ultimate option.”

“Huh?!”

I grabbed Kim Penril and pulled her into my arms.

Then, holding her hips, I buried my face in her chest and breathed deeply.

“Ah, feels better.”

“Are you insane?!”

“Rather smell mint chocolate than endure this stench.”

Huff, puff, huff, puff.

“Commander, what about our natural scent?”

“Nope. To smell skin, I’d need to remove suits.”

“What about Penril?”

“Penril’s magical girl outfit is powered by magic, so it’s fine. Technically, she’s naked under magical stockings anyway.”

Huff, puff, huff, puff.

“Let’s go.”

“Can’t see ahead, right?”

“Don’t worry. Just follow the Magical Gear navigation.”

Though my face was buried in Penril’s chest, the path from Seoul Station to City Hall was clear.

“Is it appropriate carrying Penril like this? It looks like adult content.”

“If only. Given the situation, I’m restraining myself.”

“Tch…”

Penril buried her face in my shoulder, blushing.

“Why so shy? You’re always naked on rooftops.”

“W-W-Well, that’s different because we put up barriers!”

“Wow.”

Architect clapped in admiration.

Of course, Penril gets embarrassed around other men, and Architect marvels at our intimacy—

“Later, I’ll build you a pavilion. How about outdoor sex facing the Han River? I’ll design a splendid gazebo for it… mmm-hmm.”

Typical Architect.

‘Sounds good?’

Since this game uses Korea as its setting, famous landmarks can be visited.

Places inaccessible in real life become tourable here.

So why not enjoy moonlit walks in the nude, culminating in love-making inside a scenic pavilion?

“Architect.”

“Yes, Commander.”

“I’ll find a nice spot in Yeouido. Build something impressive later.”

“Understood! Haha!”

Architect raised his hands high.

Everyone, despite being tired of Architect’s romantic obsession, didn’t protest.

They were secretly looking forward to it.

A riverside pavilion offering stunning views for outdoor sex.

Assuming proper barriers prevent public viewing, some wouldn’t mind exposing themselves partially for pleasure.

Who knows? Maybe it’ll become a live stream.

For that alone, the City Hall Serpent must die.

“Penril, time to let go.”

I released her hips.

But Penril clung tighter.

“Kim Penril.”

“Just a little longer…”

Kim Penril buried my face deeper into her chest, acting spoiled.

“Anyway, can’t someone just cut us off at the last second before dying?”

“……”

Ah, Kim Penril.

Starting her usual trolling act just before the climax.

She’ll probably wait until someone’s about to die, then immediately slay the serpent once detached from me.

Though speedrunning tactics sound appealing, unfortunately, not now.

“Raon, eat her.”

“Yes.”

“Aah, nooo! Not okay! Gyaahhh!”

SWOOSH.

Kim Penril was instantly absorbed into Raon.

Raon’s eyes shifted to Penril’s color, blinking several times while adjusting her clothes.

“Commander shouldn’t spoil her like that.”

“Mom?”

“Penril’s mom.”

With Raon syncing with Penril, I had nothing to say.

[Banargande].

The official SS-Rank Hero who subdued the Wind Dragon in England.

Finally revealing himself in Korea.

And other heroes waiting for their moment to shine.

“Listen up, team. There’s only one order I’ll give.”

It’s just us here.

“Free-for-all.”

Arbitrary settings engaged.

“Go wild doing whatever you want.”

-The Commander unleashed multiple S-Rank Magical Girls north of the Han River!!

“Don’t forget. Maximum destruction in northern Seoul…”

“Neo Hanyang!!”

“…Got it.”

Asphalt, roads, apartments, buildings.

And monsters.

“Sweep everything away.”

Just don’t fully occupy.
