God descends from heaven into the human world is the original meaning of Advent. Therefore, it is a misrepresentation of the dictionary to use the expression when descending against humans.
Ah! However, for the members of the Mac Unit, there was nothing else to express the appearance of Kim Tae-hoon but Advent. It was the reason why everyone was fascinated by Kim Tae-hoon’s appearance. As if to repay their expectations and expressions, Kim Tae-hoon, who had dropped down from the sky, immediately started to move toward the battlefield.
Kim walked through the city toward the Zombie monster horde that was pushed between the buildings. As he walked, Kim grabbed the handle of the sheathed sword in his left hand with his right hand. Then he drew the sword at once, without hesitation, toward the Zombie monster horde.
Thunk! A flash of light cut the city in half.

[Achieved Ability]
– The Inexhaustible Infinity (Grade 1): Orc Khan’s power does not consume Health, Energy, Mana, or Telekinesis.
The Inexhaustible Infinity gained by killing the Orc Khan was an ability that did not tire. No matter how hard he worked, he did not feel the limit of his physical Health, and even if he used special abilities such as Energy, Telekinesis, Mana, his abilities never touched bottom. It was like he could drive a car without gas.
Therefore, it was a terrible encounter for the monsters when Kim Tae-hoon was holding Kusanagi, which demanded the most consumption.
Thunk! Kim Tae-hoon, who no longer had to worry about the consumption of Energy, repeatedly wielded Kusanagi. The sharp flashes from the sword of the Kusanagi cut apart the bodies of the Zombie horde and the buildings of Artyom.
Euuhuh… Zombie monsters with upper body and lower body or legs or neck were cut off and fell to the ground, breaking in half with grotesque cries. Of course, the Zombie monsters did not die by that alone. Those who lost their ankles or feet still ran with their legs cut off, while those who were separated from their lower bodies used their arms to crawl and move, and those who fell on the ground repeatedly made noisy threats.
The bodies of the Zombie monsters that were cut off were buried by the buildings of the city.
The sight of dozens and hundreds of buildings being cut off and collapsed was more bizarre than eerie. It looked like a disaster, as if the city was hit by a tsunami, like a city collapsing in front of an earthquake, like a tornado tore its buildings apart and was soaring high into the sky. It was not a human-made result. So to speak, it was the punishment of God.
‘Am I dreaming now?’ In front of the scene, the members of the Mac Unit, who were now superhuman, were stunned. Bang Hyun-wook looked at the battlefield with blank eyes. Of course, the battle was just the beginning. If it had been a battle that ended with just cutting the bodies and covering the bodies with the wreckage of the buildings, Kim Tae-hoon would not have come here.
As soon as Kim Tae-hoon put the Kusanagi back into the sheath, something ran out of the wreckage of a collapsed building.
Whoosh! It was a dark blue-grade monster, the zombified Hatch, flying toward Kim Tae-hoon. The Hatch charged horn down, its speed hard to believe. The physical force of the Hatch, with a sheep’s body five meters in length, larger than a lion, moved so quickly it was unimaginable.
In front of the sudden, powerful, and aggressive attack of the Hatch, Kim Tae-hoon pulled his body sideways using his Telekinesis. The Hatch, horn down, shot past Kim Tae-hoon like a missile. The wake flapped Kim Tae-hoon’s clothes.
The body of the Hatch punched through the buildings behind Kim Tae-hoon as if it were an artillery round.
Huck! The men of the Mac Unit around came to their senses after the Hatch moved a kilometer away. However, waking up did not change anything. There was nothing they could do in this ridiculous battle.
“Big brother!” Only Bang Hyun-wook tried to move at this moment.
‘That ability is dangerous.’ The Hatch’s ability was to propel its body like a cannon shell. It was a power beyond common sense. The Hatch had just moved a kilometer away in four seconds or so. Two hundred fifty meters per second was nearing the speed of sound. A few tons of an object moving at a speed close to the sound speed… its destructive power was clearly shown by the city buildings behind Kim Tae-hoon.
‘It’s really dangerous.’ Bang Hyun-wook’s spine, who had been preparing to buy time against the monster with such a ridiculous ability, cooled quickly.
‘It’s not easy for big brother, either.’ At the same time, Bang Hyun-wook realized that the ability of the Hatch was also threatening Kim Tae-hoon.
‘That attack of the Hatch is hard to defend against, and it is impossible to stand up to. Instead, there are plenty of gaps. After one attack, it can not control itself.’ It was still true now. The Hatch, which crashed through buildings like paper, could not stop until its body was stuck in the ground.
‘If someone baits and lures it into a trap, we can kill it.’
“I’ll help you!”
In this situation, it was Bang Hyun-wook’s role to always be the bait, and he did not want to give that role to someone else. However, Kim Tae-hoon did not answer the cry of Bang Hyun-wook. Instead, Kim Tae-hoon untied the golden bracelet on his left wrist and threw it on the ground.
“Baaaaaaa…” In the meantime, the Hatch, which had regained its position, took a position facing Kim Tae-hoon again, after pointing its horn.
It looked like a rocket on the launch pad.
Kim Tae-hoon shouted at it, “Gleipnir!”
At that moment, the golden chains leaped out of the ground under the Hatch’s feet and wrapped around its body.
“Baaaaa…?”
Everyone in sight, even the Zombie Hatch tied in a golden chain now, had a stunned look.
Only one, Kim Tae-hoon, accepted all of this and pulled out the Sword of the Imperator on his back to face the Hatch caught in Gleipnir.

There is a saying that war is a battle of information. It is also because of the great influence of valuable information and information treated as confidential can decide victory and defeat on the battlefield.
But that was not the only reason. Even if it was not such a secret, the ability to deal with general information is also very important in war. Simple information is not simple information on the battlefield.
When the battle begins right away, there is countless amounts of information on the battlefield. In addition, there was a lack of communication facilities, and all that was possible was wired communication. Even if the conditions are not good enough, all kinds of information come in freely.
In some cases, information which is transmitted through human resources, information may arrive three hours before the information dispatched five hours earlier.
It is the commander’s ability and role to find the answers in the information gathered.
Colonel Lim Hyun-joon was faithful to the role and was competent at the same time. He made the best decision, and his decision brought him to the peak of the Korean military in the flood of information coming in from all over the battlefield. But at this moment, he could no longer be a competent leader.
“It’s breaking news from Hoeryong City, the Zombie Monster horde has been removed.”
“It’s breaking news just in from Hyesan City! The Zombie Monster horde has been destroyed!”
“The Zombie Monster horde was destroyed in Manpo!”
“The monsters that appeared in Sinuiju were wiped out.”
The breaking news that flowed in simultaneously from the cities along the Yalu River was unbelievable.
“The advent of the Master is done.” And at the end of all the reports, the word master and advent were attached together. The soldiers never used the words, but Colonel Lim Hyun-joon could not find words that could clearly convey the situation now. He showed his emotions on his face for the first time.
“Huh-huh.” He smiled awkwardly on his flimsy face. At his laugh, the first since the battle with the Zombie Monster horde, his men seemed to understand rather than be surprised, and they were also laughing awkwardly.
“The Mac Unit has arrived from Vladivostok.” It was the return of the Mac Unit that stopped the laugh.
“I’ll get a report right away.”
Mac Unit and Bang Hyun-wook had arrived at the headquarters, and of course, Colonel Lim Hyun-joon called them.
Bang Hyun-wook immediately told Colonel Lim Hyun-joon, “Big brother said that he would deal with the Immortal Wolf in the Manchurian field, and there is something for the battle.”
Colonel Lim Hyun-joon’s expression was firm at the report, since the Immortal Wolf was the fate of Kim Tae-hoon, as well as the fate of the Republic of Korea to deal with a monster of the purple grade, a monster that could not die. It would be necessary to support the war using all the support of the country.
“What do you need?” While spitting out the words, Colonel Lim Hyun-joon had a lot of things in his mind – the best elite Mac Unit and the Dragon Knights, as well as the Armored Hunting Units he had devoted himself to, including the terrifying tanks!
In response to such a question by Colonel Lim Hyun-joon, Bang Hyun-wook scratched his head and said cautiously. “So it’s…”

A purple-grade monster was like a moving end… the end of the human race. Therefore, it was easy for humans to grasp the presence. The same was true of Kim Tae-hoon.
‘Here it is.’
On the wide plain of Manchuria, Kim Tae-hoon was able to feel it even before he saw it. At some point, as he felt, it showed up. The Immortal Wolf Chernobog appeared on the Manchurian field. It was alone. There was no Zombie Monster horde. There was no need. It didn’t need to be protected by anything, and it had no reason to be afraid of death.
Kim Tae-hoon also did not have any new determination with such a guy in front of him. From the distance, he made the first attack. The weapon of the first attack was Indra’s spear, Vasavi Shakti.
The thunder and lightning spewed a thunderstorm of light, and stuck in Chernobog’s body. It immediately released a thunderbolt that turned the grass all over the place ashes in an instant.
The attack turned Chernobog’s body to ashes, too, shredded and scattered all over the place. However, that was all. Its whole body was shattered, but the presence of the creature filling the Manchurian field did not disappear at all. Soon after, one piece of the flesh that had fallen from Chernobog’s body began to grow, and then it was restored to its original shape.
Vasavi Shakti, which had always left a surprising wound, was just a tool to earn a minute or so in front of Chernobog.
At that moment, a gold chain rose from beneath the ground, and it clung to Chernobog’s body. Gleipnir! The chain that led to the death of Orc Khan turned Chernobog into a mummy.
Chernobog was crushed. As if clutching jelly, Gleipnir grabbed Chernobog and its body was scattered into shattered pieces. The same scene was repeated after that. One piece of flesh popped out of its body began to form a wolf again. It was enough.
‘As expected.’
The fact that Kim Tae-hoon’s countless weapons could never kill Chernobog was not just speculation, but the fact. He also recognized that all he could do was buy time, and delay Chernobog reaching the Korean Peninsula a little longer.
So, Kim Tae-hoon did not hurry. He didn’t push it. Instead, he took out something he had never used before when dealing with monsters. He opened his bag and took out something as important as a relic in it: a coffee dripper, solid fuel, bottled water, and new beans from Italy.
Kim Tae-hoon, who spent the time making coffee, took a sip of the coffee.
He filled himself with the deep coffee scent. He then drew a picture with his black eyes, looking at the distant Chernobog, palms open; it was a picture of a straitjacket made by his own Telekinesis on Chernobog’s body, a picture that would pull the body of the creature bound like that and tie it to one place.
At that moment, Chernobog’s movements stopped for the first time. The fight between the undying monster and the tireless hunter began quietly, with a cup of fragrant coffee.
