Chapter 888 – #194_Typhoon
#882
One.
First case.
Worst disaster.
An unprecedented event.
The above assertions share a set of characteristics.
No one can guess how things will turn out.
When human beings assume the worst, they always prepare countermeasures based on ‘what happened in the past’.
Witches weren’t much different either.
That’s why the location points that have been accumulating data while contributing to the subjugation of the homunculus for 100 years.
Even Eloah, who accumulated more practical experience than any other witch while running on the front line.
The sudden spread of this situation was not predicted.
“Is it really?”
In other words, the fact that the king of monsters, who had just appeared, would lead the group in less than two weeks, cross the Pacific Ocean, and approach the outpost of the East Asian continent, Sakhalin Island.
A little further down is Hokkaido, where Elloa is staying, and a little further from there is the East Sea.
[According to the circumstances recorded by the observation balloon, it appears that it entered the Sea of Okhotsk shortly after its last appearance in the Hawaiian Islands]
“I know first. Ask the branch manager of each location point to summon them.”
[Let’s try. However, whether the branch manager or the witches will actively step forward…]
“I will ask you as soon as possible. Promise a citizenship lottery and compensation in my name.”
[Yes]
Elroa rudely put down her receiver and headed for her observation room.
In order to cope with the abnormal activities of the homunculus, an emergency countermeasure headquarters was established in the observation room.
It was to connect information with each branch location point and major international organizations, and to immediately take action in the event of an emergency.
Phones ring and shouts come and go from all directions.
Based on the case of South America, the high-ranking government officials of each country, who identified the danger of the corps, heated up the hotline of the Emergency Response Headquarters even more.
Korea, Japan, leader, the Philippines, Mongolia, and even China and Russia, which had little contact with Gehenna witches.
Countries near the Sea of Okhotsk promised maximum cooperation in stopping the landing of the Homunculus and tried to establish a cooperative system.
Most of the people screaming with blood on their necks are employees from the country’s counterintelligence agency.
That is, a normal human being.
Compared to that, the atmosphere of the sparsely seated witches was quite different.
He is doing what he has to do, such as mobilizing his familiars for reconnaissance and updating the location of his corps in real time, or remotely communicating with witches in remote locations, but some of his eyes show a very calculated look.
I feel like I need to lose my body if I have to.
I have no intention of rebuking them.
Being able to stand right in front of the battlefield for humans in this crisis is something to be grateful for.
“Director Lucien.”
“Duke Tiphareth… !”
Elroa visited the Hokkaido branch manager, Lucien, who was sweating hard from the disaster she faced in less than half a year after her appointment.
She was trying to stay calm, but she seemed to lack her experience in coping with the pressure of her unforeseen event.
As soon as she saw Elroa, she came running with a face about to collapse.
“Seriously. Aren’t there many eyes to see?”
“I-I… What the hell am I supposed to do…”
“Calm down!”
“I’m sorry!”
Lucien reacted almost in panic.
Eloa got her attention by clapping her hands in front of her eyes.
“Have you received control cooperation from Sakhalin Province? Send warnings to commercial vessels. Find out the air routes that pass through the Sea of Okhotsk as soon as possible and take measures to turn back.”
“And again… How to…”
“Did you get in touch with the Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk branch manager?”
The Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk branch was a branch on Sakhalin Island with the Sea of Okhotsk as its front yard, and like the Hokkaido branch, it was a newly established branch to block Hexennacht’s occupation of the world.
In addition, it is also the closest branch to the current corps.
“I got it. First of all, I’m watching the situation while biting the wires as much as possible…”
“A direct collision?”
“Not yet.”
“Good judgment. What is the projected path of progress?”
“Currently, the route has been taken to the southwest. It will most likely enter the East Sea and head towards the South China Sea via Korea, Shanghai and Hong Kong.”
“Okay. Don’t be rash and keep your body. If you are agitated, others will be agitated.”
“Yes… !”
No matter what anyone said, the command tower of this emergency subjugation headquarters was Eloa Tiphareth.
Even if all the witches gathered here were combined, there would be no one with as much practical experience as Eloa.
Oh, there is only one.
“Linne.”
“…”
Wearing a black kimono and leaning against her wall, Rinne had the same attitude as usual.
He feels indifferent, as if he has nothing to do with this commotion.
“Did you hear from Dorothy?”
“Not yet.”
“No matter how much I went back, it must have been quite a while… Have you tried contacting them?”
“I tried. But they don’t.”
When a stag, presumed to be the king of legions and monsters, appeared in the Sea of Okhotsk, the operation to gather information went awry.
It means that Dorothy does not have to risk staying in South America.
But at a time like this, I thought I would lose contact…
“It must have been a runaway. She is an inherently sinister woman.”
“There must be circumstances.”
“What can I do?”
“Not right now. Please refrain from giving advice or acting alone.”
He is the king who commands dozens of named corps and such named.
Even with a tight estimate, about 20 Archwitches would be needed to minimize the damage.
It was an unexpected and sudden incident, but things did not always go hopelessly.
Unlike the Red Knights the other day, the current location points are encouraging in that you can use a number of witches as your strength.
This is because the exiles who were not absorbed into Hexenacht have gathered around the location point to promote safety.
The fact that Gehenna started an outcast immunity project, and the number of outcasts looking for opportunities also increased.
If you make a plausible performance at the location point, it will work in your favor in the evaluation.
However, the size of the enemy is too large.
Currently, there are about 30 witches who belong to the Hokkaido and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk branches together.
Among them, there are only four, including Eloa and Rinne, who are higher than the Archwitch.
Subjugation is close to impossible unless there is active support from Gehenna or other location points.
And as history proves, if it’s just a human crisis, witches don’t unite easily.
The proof is that two hours have passed since Gehenna sent an official letter of cooperation, but there is still no definite answer.
They are recruiting witches in Location Point using the immunity from exiles and the bounty organized by the emergency budget as bait, but time is running out.
Choices are forced.
Ignoring the landing of the corps until sufficient forces are gathered, risking human sacrifice and clashing with full strength.
Are the currently summoned witches blocking the East Sea and waiting for support to be added later?
In the case of the former, many humans will inevitably be sacrificed.
In particular, the first landing point of the corps is Korea.
The deformed structure in which the majority of the population lives in 20% of the country will inevitably cause great damage.
“Report! The corps quickly passed the southern part of Sakhalin Island and entered the East Sea. We are heading south!”
Elroa bit her lip as the situation worsened much faster than she predicted.
2.
Week 2 of the Alchadi Alchan Power-up Event.
In the morning, she visited Gretel, the witch of the soul, to learn how to deal with the ‘door’ in her body, and from around noon, she received training from Sua.
She had high expectations because it was her teacher’s recommendation, but Sua’s teachings exceeded her expectations.
Should I say it’s accumulated know-how, or should I say it’s easy to understand because I’m looking at it from the same point of view.
Of course, this does not mean that Master’s teachings are not good.
However, after mastering everything so easily, the teacher who said, ‘Would you like to try it?’,
‘I can understand where you are struggling. Would you like to try this?”
I said everything because I felt the growth that had been stagnant so far that I could feel it every day.
Among them are these.
“It’s definitely easier to come up with a technical name.”
“Yes, it seems frivolous at first glance, but it is important. Magic is the act of realizing the scenery of the image. Naming a technique is part of formalization, systematization, and image enhancement.”
Siwoo, who had been mixing and using magic according to how he felt, how he felt, and how he used it.
Although it was possible to use it flexibly, it lacked a sense of systematization.
Teacher Sua helped arrange Siwoo’s magic, which was close to improvisation.
It’s a bonus that he gave each skill a great and cool name instead of Siwoo, whose naming sense was close to the worst.
“You worked hard today too.”
“Thank you for your teaching.”
We exchanged friendly greetings and disbanded.
Congratulating yourself on how you had a rewarding day today and having a warm time with Sharon after a long time.
It was the time when I washed my body lightly and went to sleep hugging Sharon’s naked body, which was softer than any cushion.
– Smart smart
I woke up at the sound of an urgent knock.
“Um… What?”
“Well, who is it?”
Sharon, who had been clinging to her side, also raised her body, rubbing her sleepy eyes from her last night’s exercise.
The clock on the table shows 4:00 AM.
Suddenly, there was a sense that it was too early for guests to come.
Sharon and Siu came out toward the living room wearing only underwear and a gown.
“Siwoo Gong.”
At the sound of teacher Sua’s voice over the door, Sharon turns her sleepy eyes to Siwoo.
“Is it Siwoo?”
Her eyes, which were always shining, became opaque and it was very frightening.
It seems that he had a strange misunderstanding when he saw Mr. Su-ah who came to Si-woo’s room this late at night.
I can’t be unfair because I have quite a few criminal records.
“No, I don’t know why you came.”
I hurriedly explained and opened the door first.
“Excuse me for being so early… !”
As soon as she opens the door, teacher Sua, who was about to spill out the main topic, stands tall.
Her eyes, wide as the full moon, looked alternately at Siu and Sharon in gowns.
She was aware of Siwoo’s circumstance with women, but it seems that she never thought of the possibility that she could have another lover together if he came to visit her at any time without contact.
“I, that…”
Everyone reacts differently when they feel embarrassed.
In the case of Miss Sua, her ears were burning bright red as if they had been set on fire.
“Sorry. I should have put on some of her clothes.”
“No. It’s the fault of the girl who suddenly came…”
The situation seemed urgent, so I opened the door.
Had she known it would be like this, she would have dressed up a little more.
Slightly awkward atmosphere.
However, Mr. Sua quickly found her composure and revealed her main point.
“The present world is dangerous.”
And the contents were heavy and serious enough to lightly forget the fresh episodes.
