Damn Necromancer

Chapter 390: Galaxy (9)

The night streets of Under City, where bright red neon signs and acid rain poured down endlessly.

Two silhouettes were leisurely walking through the muddy alleyway covered in acrid smog without umbrellas.

Before long, their destination entered the two people's vision.

A massive steel fortress soaring arrogantly as if crushing the old shacks of the slum beneath its feet.

It was the Under City Integrated Control Bureau Headquarters.

The military force guarding the front of that grand main gate was on a completely different level from the slum gangs.

Mass-produced machine human soldiers made entirely of special alloy, looking similar to the machine human A-4 he had encountered in the Demon Realm ranking match in the past.

And massive unmanned combat robots over 4 meters tall were firmly guarding the main gate, flashing dark blue eye glints.

As the two approached the main gate of the Control Bureau Headquarters, red lasers shot out from the machine human soldiers' eyes and scanned Kim Minwoo and Yoo Honbi's entire bodies.

[Ppibik. Biometric data scan complete. Not Control Bureau affiliated personnel.]

[ID chip unconfirmed. Classified as Under City lower class.]

The machine human soldier raised its plasma rifle with a cheolkeok and spat out a cold and dry mechanical voice.

“Unidentified lower-class organisms. This is the Control Bureau Headquarters under the great Galaxy Alliance. If you do not have access authorization, turn around and get lost immediately. If you do not retreat within 5 seconds, we will execute summary disposal.”

Wiiiiing―!

Simultaneously with the warning, the muzzles of the machine humans and unmanned combat robots lined up around them were aimed at Kim Minwoo and Yoo Honbi in unison.

An arrogant murderous intent to evaporate mere slum rat bastards without a trace right on the spot.

It was the moment Yoo Honbi snorted and was about to draw her demonic sword.

“Ah, wait a minute. Before you draw your sword. You shouldn't damage those robots too much.”

“……?”

Regardless of whether the machine soldiers were aiming their muzzles or not, Kim Minwoo continued his words with a serious face.

“Think about it. They are machines. Since they are scraps of machines and not corpses in the first place, they won't resurrect as undead, right?”

“……So what do you want me to do.”

“So I'm saying you shouldn't just smash those expensive frames as you please. We have to just pull the chips out of their head slots and recycle those premium shells intact. Because we have to shove chips in them.”

Kim Minwoo earnestly requested and emphasized to Yoo Honbi.

“So don't just cut them in half and turn them into scrap metal, just lightly snap their joints or power lines and suppress them beautifully so they just can't fight.”

“……Truly, you are a guy I don't know what tune to dance to.”

To demand the preservation of the enemies' exteriors in the middle of a battle, and with bloody muzzles aimed at them from all directions at that?

Yoo Honbi stared intently at Kim Minwoo with a gaze as if looking at a lunatic.

Having stood at the apex of the martial arts world all her life, she had seen numerous madmen, but she had never once seen an efficiency freak this rotten down to the bone.

Yoo Honbi shook her head, letting out a hollow laugh as if she was dumbfounded.

“Initiating intruder elimination. Open fire…… Ppibik?!”

Taaaaaaat―!

As soon as the machine human soldier's firing command dropped, Yoo Honbi's form dug in like a thunderbolt.

Seoeoeoeoeok―!

Instead of ignorantly cutting the lumps of iron in two, her red demonic sword delicately brushed past only the arm joints of the machine humans holding weapons and the power connections of the unmanned robots.

“Warning! Drive circuit damaged! Incapable of combat…… Ppiiiik!”

Galaxy's state-of-the-art special alloy, which was exceptionally hard, was torn apart like a sheet of paper by a single sword strike compressed with human qi.

It was a perfect dismantling show that cleanly severed only the power lines and combat modules without leaving a single scratch on the alloy armor.

“Wow, you have good skills? There isn't a single scratch on the hardware.”

Kim Minwoo, who approached the perfectly fine machine humans rolling on the floor only beeping warning sounds, put on a very satisfied smile and began pulling out personality chips from their skull slots one by one.

“I should carefully carve them out too.”

Kim Minwoo also gripped Hell Rhapsody and dug in like a ghost. Every time the Mythical-rank demonic sword drew a pitch-black trajectory in the empty air, instead of smashing their armor, he merely snapped the precise power lines and nervous system cables in the crevices of their helmets tuk-tuk.

Cheolsseok! Deolgeureok!

The front yard of the Control Bureau Headquarters, which should have been the scene of a fatal bloodbath, had completely transformed into the site of an ultra-precision machine dismantling show for the two monsters to capture flawless tin cans.

＊ ＊ ＊

At the same time.

Under City Integrated Control Bureau Headquarters, Command Room.

“……You're saying the entire mobile strike force has lost contact?”

Control Bureau Director Davis glared at the hologram monitor, crushing his thick cigar as if he would chew it up.

The biosignals of the 3 platoons of the most elite mobile strike force, sent to suppress the riot in the District 7 slum a moment ago, had all simultaneously turned to deceased in just 3 minutes.

“Yes, Director! We haven't even figured out the enemy's weapon systems or scale! It happened so instantly that…….”

“Damn it! There's no way the remnant bastards of the Scrap Metal Faction would have that kind of firepower! It must definitely be the black ops (secret unit) bastards of another megacorp harboring dissatisfaction against Zenith Corporation that crawled into the slum!”

The Control Bureau Director screamed as he slammed his fist on the console.

“Declare a Level 1 emergency throughout the entire fortress right now! Activate all anti-air defense networks, and assemble all 10,000 heavy cavalry on standby indoors at the parade ground! Any bastards who dare to even leave a scratch on the Control Bureau Headquarters, I'll melt them all with plasma so they can't even recover their bones…….”

It was before his words could even finish.

Kuaaaaaaaang―!!!

The entire command room violently fluctuated as if a magnitude 8 earthquake had struck, and the ceiling of the central dome, the heart of the fortress, collapsed like a sheet of paper.

“Keuaaaak!”

“Wh-what! Is it a bombardment?!”

Emergency sirens rang out as if to tear the ears, and red warning lights flashed wildly.

The middle of the command room where dust clouds billowed thickly.

A man wearing a pitch-black coat was leisurely walking out while gripping Hell Rhapsody.

“Oops. Sorry for coming in without knocking.”

Kim Minwoo, who appeared while brushing off the command room's dust tuk-tuk, beamed a smile toward the Control Bureau Director tumbling on the floor.

“Wh-what the hell are you guys! Megacorp's hunting dogs?”

Davis freaked out and screamed while backing away.

“Bodyguard robot! Tear those bastards apart right now!”

Along with his shout, a massive figure popped out from the darkness of the command room, flashing dark blue eye glints.

A new combat robot bestowed by Zenith Corporation, one of the top 5 megacorps.

Armed with state-of-the-art alloy armor and a built-in plasma blade, a monster capable of slicing down thousands of average armed gang members in a single breath, it was the only thing Control Bureau Director Davis trusted.

―Intruder confirmed. Switching to summary disposal mode…… Ppibik?!

However…….

Seureureuk―.

A pitch-black shadow that bloomed soundlessly from somewhere surged up elegantly behind the robot's back.

“My master hates it if it gets scratched.”

Along with a languid voice, Olivia's pale nails lightly drew across the empty air in an invisible trajectory.

Seoeoeoeoeok―!

The new combat robot that had been crossing the command room like a thunderbolt collapsed right there.

Her sharp nails containing the martial art of the Formless Sword had completely severed only the robot's power lines and joint drives far too smoothly and precisely.

Cheolgeureok. Kung.

The lump of iron that had been making terrible whirring sounds until just a moment ago flopped to the floor like a kite with a snapped string and stopped functioning.

“Hi, hiiiiik……! N-nonsense! H-how could the newest robot bestowed by Zenith Headquarters not even put up a single resistance……!”

The moment Davis, shocked that his strongest card had turned into a tin can in the blink of an eye, freaked out and tried to pull out the blaster at his waist.

Seureureuk.

Olivia's pale nails, which bloomed again from his shadow, chillingly caressed Davis's nape.

“Shh. If you move even a finger, your head will roll.”

“Hi, hiiiiik……!”

Control Bureau Director Davis perfectly froze on the spot, peeing his pants.

The appearance of terrible monsters that couldn't be caught by bio-radars or thermal imaging detectors.

Kim Minwoo approached the trembling Davis and patted his cheek tuk-tuk.

“Assemble all the troops. With all their weapons completely disarmed.”

Seureureuk.

Olivia's nails, which had been stroking his nape, dug slightly into his skin.

At the chilling sensation of bright red blood forming, Davis's reasoning perfectly flew away.

“Heeek! U-understood! I will assemble them right now!”

The Control Bureau Director, approaching the command room's main console with trembling hands, screamed into the microphone while inputting the highest-authority override command code.

[Attention all troops in the headquarters! This is the Director's highest-authority command! Everyone, immediately disarm yourselves and assemble at the central parade ground with your defensive shields turned off! Anyone holding a weapon will be summarily executed!]

Wiiiiing―!

The Director's urgent broadcast echoed loudly throughout the entire fortress.

“Uh, uhh? Why is my arm moving on its own!”

“Damn it! The weapon lock won't unlock!”

In this machine city under the control of megacorps, the personality chips implanted in the mercenaries' brains and their full-body cybernetics were programmed to reduce them to complete puppets the moment the higher-ups' override command code was executed.

Normally, thanks to the defenses of this grand steel fortress, the risk of the Director's head being directly taken and the override command code being executed would have converged on 0%, but…….

Absurdly, as the enemy commander's leash was grabbed first, and so vainly at that, that absolute control system rather became a terrible shackle grabbing the ankles of 30,000 people.

Cheolgeureok, cheolkeok!

While inwardly shocked and spitting out curses, the mercenaries had to toss the plasma cannons and high-frequency vibration swords they were holding onto the floor tuk-tuk due to their physical bodies being forcibly controlled.

In just 5 minutes, the terrifying elite troops of the Control Bureau reaching 30,000 people lined up in the central parade ground in a perfectly defenseless state without a single shield wrapping them.

Kim Minwoo, looking down at that spectacle from the command room terrace, smiled very satisfyingly.

“You handled this very cleanly.”

Kim Minwoo, who praised Davis while stroking the crown of his head, gave a crisp order toward the parade ground below.

As soon as the command dropped, the Legion Commanders and thousands of skeletons poured down from the terrace to the parade ground.

“Uh……? It's the enemy!”

“M-my weapon won't grip…… Uaaaak!”

The 30,000 machine troops huddled together in a defenseless state had to yield the backs of their heads to the approaching undead without even being able to put up a proper resistance.

30,000 S-rank premium tin cans without a single scratch began to be sucked right into Kim Minwoo's inventory and subspace in real-time.
