Chapter 153: One minute is enough, and one more second counts as a loss

January 21, noon, Seoul, South Korea.

Seoul is located in the Han River basin in the northwest of South Korea, it is the capital of South Korea, and it is also the political, economic, technological, educational, and cultural center of South Korea, and one of the major financial cities in Asia.

In addition, the city is home to 34 prestigious universities such as Seoul National University, Kyung Hee University, Hanyang University, and Sungkyunkwan University, making it a veritable university city.

N Seoul Tower is an iconic attraction in Seoul.

This arrogant tower, standing straight in the middle of the desolate city, exudes a deep blue, incandescent white, golden, orange and red intertwined light, like a soldier who has died in the country is still holding high the banner of unwillingness.

Not only that, N Seoul Tower is also the place where Lorenjo and Anson Deer agreed to meet.

Because based on past experience, the Evolution Foundation has analyzed a pattern - no matter how unsightly a city falls, its landmarks will still remain intact and will not be destroyed by monsters, but other attractions or buildings are difficult to say.

Cosimo had just arrived at the bottom of the Seoul Tower with a travel roll, and when he opened his blue eyes, he saw the 63rd Building, which had been cut off from the middle, the shattered museum, the gray Gwanghwamun Gate, and the Gyeongbokgung Palace that was burning with flames.

"That's an exaggeration...... he gasped and shivered.

Cosimo is fitted with a lightweight prosthetic and a pair of mechanical floating wings spread out behind his back.

"Peng!"

The two downward openings of the mechanical wing spewed out a powerful current, sending Cosimo's form into the sky, the scarf around his neck dancing in the cold wind.

Cosimo rose to a height like the clouds and swam around the city west of Seoul, where he could see everything.

As far as the eye can see, many of Seoul's monuments during the 600 years of the Joseon Dynasty, Joseon Dynasty palaces, temples, and other buildings have been completely destroyed by monsters.

Those natural tourist attractions did not escape the clutches of monsters, whether it was Bukhansan National Park, National Forest Park, or Hongneung Arboretum, all of which were occupied by cruel fire and ashes, and lost their vitality.

It was clear that the noon sun was scorching, but the world in Cosimo's vision was gray, and even if he was in the air at a height of 100 meters, it seemed that he could hear the roar of a monster lingering in his ears.

The culprits who have devastated Seoul to such a state are creatures known as the "dark rockers", who are menacingly dressed in ragged hunting jackets and armed with a guitar.

Every time these monsters pluck their guitars, the furious notes form fires, hurricanes, and tides in front of them, destroying every inch of Seoul completely.

The day before yesterday, the Evolution Foundation had sent someone over to investigate the current situation in Seoul, and at present, the dungeon boss that occupies Seoul is called [Burst Drummer].

It was a massive porcupine that was nine meters tall and four meters wide, with anthropomorphic limbs and the ability to grasp the behemoth drumstick with its hands to strike the indestructible giant drum to release powerful notes.

Those players who chose to participate in the Seoul dungeon in the fourth round of dungeons were killed because they lost to the Burst Drummer in the boss battle, and in the end, it was the citizens who took the entire city and another dimension to watch the battle together.

Nearly 10 million lives were lost under the notes of the monster's furious disorder.

The place where the cracked drummers are entrenched is the historic Gyeongbokgung Palace in South Korea, which is the main palace of the Joseon Dynasty, the last unified dynasty in the history of the Korean Peninsula.

It is located at No. 161, Sheji Road, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea, and is also known as "Beique" because it is located in the north of the city, and is the head of the five palaces in Seoul and the political center of the early Joseon Dynasty.

Cosimo swallowed a mouthful of water, and he frowned as he looked at Gyeongbokgung Palace, which was riddled with holes.

As if sensing the enemy's arrival, surrounded by a wall of walls, the huge porcupine called the "Burst Drummer" raised its head and let out an awe-inspiring roar that shook Seoul.

Gyeongbokgung Palace, which was already crumbling, trembled even more inexorably under this roar of filial piety, as if even the remnants of the palace were about to collapse and shatter into dust that only existed in history.

"It's really big, but it's still a little inferior to the statue of the Ten Thousand Horses." Cosimo muttered.

In addition to the head, the whole body of this porcupine is covered with sharp burrs, a structure that is comparable to that of a hedgehog.

Its expression was as solemn as that of a majestic human.

The body moves like a proud champion, waiting for the challenger in the center of the ring called 'Gyeongbokgung Palace' - the porcupine huddles his shoulders tightly and holds a huge drumstick in his left and right palms.

At this moment, the porcupine was looking up at the sky, its dark nose pointed at the sky, and it used its sparkling scarlet-eyed children to look at Cosimo who floated in the sky like a fly in the distance.

In an instant, the aura of slaughter swept away, the sunlight seemed to dim a little more, and the heavens and the earth were shrouded in a layer of tyrannical shadows, and the monsters grinded their teeth and roared wildly.

The corners of Cosimo's eyes jumped wildly, and he shivered, and cursed as he fell from the Seoul sky and returned to the square below the N Seoul Tower.

In just a minute, more than 40 members of the enforcement team, from all over the world, gathered here, but few were absent from official demands.

None of the players at the top of the world's combat power rankings are absent - after all, if other cities fall, there is no need to send so many people, but this is the capital of South Korea, and its importance needs not be overstated.

Albeit...... The citizens of Seoul have long since died completely, and both modern buildings and places of interest have been destroyed horribly, but this place is the capital of South Korea, a city that embodies the brilliant civilization of a country for thousands of years.

The monsters in the fourth round of dungeons are indeed extremely strong, especially the combat power of the boss is seriously exceeded.

But the risk is great, if the colonial monster is allowed to rage further and abandon this city, as the world's most authoritative official trade union - the law enforcement team, they will definitely be condemned and scolded by people from all over the world.

Whether it is out of international obligations, moral encouragement, and concern for the human spirit, they must reclaim the city from the hands of the colonial monster and give a definite account to the Korean people in their pain and wailing.

After Cosimo landed, he looked around and quickly captured Loren's superior figure - his height of nearly 1.9 meters, the outline of his stiff and stylish face, and his aura of not being angry and arrogant, like the bright moon hanging high among the stars, which could be recognized at a glance.

But the question is...... Cosimo was unable to find Anson Deer, or any members of the Helllighthouse, from the player base.

You know, it's been a full ten minutes since Anson Deer and Cosimo agreed on it.

At this moment, the presence of the player is detected, and dark rockers sweep in the direction of N Seoul Tower from all directions.

Even these ordinary monsters are aware of the player's presence, not to mention the bursting drummer who is in the middle of Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Bosses in fallen cities will not be challenged in a palace or a specific location like bosses in quests.

Once they have taken over the city, they become a tyrannical colonial king, and if anyone dares to encroach on its land, it will expelle them with terror or crush them to flesh.

At this time, the popping drummer had already carried two huge drums on his back, and walked with heavy steps, his huge feet on the ground, and the burrs on his body pierced through the glass windows of the skyscraper, setting off an earthquake-like sound.

The whole city is in a furious rhythm, accompanied by the pace of the bursting drummer, the bursting fountain, the collapsed tall building, and the straight bronze statue holding up its fingers, as if directing this grand symphony.

He walked quickly to Lorenzuo and asked in a low voice, "No, captain, hasn't Anson Deer come yet?" ”

In private, Cosimo affectionately refers to Lorenzo as "Big Brother" - but in such a serious setting, even if he is Lorenzo's younger brother, he must strictly follow the rules and call him "Captain".

Moreover, if it were on any other occasion, Cosimo's question would not have been so civilized, he would just say - Damn, that idiot is not here yet, damn, the number one in the world can put on a fight, right?

"I don't know." Loren looked around and said calmly: "If he doesn't come today, the plan still doesn't need to be changed, we can solve it ourselves." ”

"Okay then." Cosimo shrugged his shoulders, feeling strangely bored.

Gu Qiu approached the two, pulled up the sleeves of his sweater, and said in an emotionless voice: "Come here, if its speed remains the same, at most ten minutes, the boss will approach the Seoul Tower." ”

As the two spoke, the dark rockers had already flocked to the N Seoul Tower, frantically plucking the guitar strings in their hands, and the furious notes formed a blazing curtain of flames and blasted into the more than forty members of the law enforcement team.

"Ten minutes, enough to clean up the surrounding monsters first." Loren said in a smug voice.

The words fell, and golden emotional characters spread out of his body, wrapping around his body like a ring.

"Peng!"

In the next moment, the Circle of Faith pulled the air, dragging Loren's left figure and carrying it towards the sky, the white uniform coat of the law enforcement team hunting and dancing in the air.

In an instant, a huge black bell appeared in front of Loren Zuo, and with a slight flick of his right arm, he shook out the mad bell, and the giant bell shattered the air and slammed into the curtain of flames with an unstoppable force.

"Boom!"

Thousands of emotional characters poured out from the surface of the black clock, like a surging tide, engulfing the flames in an instant, and extinguishing even an inch of fire.

At this time, there were already five more data streams beside Gu Qiu, and he did not hesitate to release the data streams, these five gray data streams flipped in the air, shooting towards the western block like a black bird.

Peng β€”β€”!

In the next second, all the vehicles and buildings were swept into it by the violent gray blast, so devastated that there was not even ash left, and the group of dark rock musicians who came from the other side were all wiped out by the data flow blast caused by Gu Qiu.

Cosimo didn't sit idle, he transformed into a heavy prosthetic body, draped in layers of metal mechanical parts, and in just two seconds, he turned into an iron giant and burst out.

Each of its punches was as powerful as a cannonball, enough to blast away countless dark rockers who harnessed the energy of the notes, whether it be wind, fire, or water, to suppress Cosimo's mechanical armor, and the disciples added an inconspicuous rift to the prosthetic body he loaded.

"Uhhβ€”β€”!h

! The musicians roared, plucking their guitars more and more violently.

The bursting flames swept out again, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Seoul Tower Square had turned into a sea of fire, and more than 40 people of the law enforcement team showed their abilities in this sea of flames, and there was no fear on their faces, and they killed these monster musicians as simple as cutting cabbage with a kitchen knife, and did not give each other any room to breathe.

Among them, the most dazzling is the [Abyss Dancer] from Russia - Avril.

She danced a swan dance in the middle of the square, like a black rose flying in the air, and each petal fell around the square, and then formed a burst of pitch-black notes, like an unstoppable blade, tearing the bodies of the musicians to the point that there was no dregs left.

[Second Order Abyss Dancer's Sequence Skill 3 - Black Rose Dance Step (The Abyss Dancer dances a swan dance, and the dance steps will spread out roses, which then emit wonderful energy notes, invisibly destroying the opponent's mind and body)]

Not only that, but the Kamidai Ruri from Japan is also quite eye-catching among the members of the law enforcement team, she vibrates the sword in the air, and thousands of cherry blossom petals cross the sea of fire and sprinkle it on the monster musicians.

In the next second, she had already retracted the knife.

"Poofβ€”β€”!

! Blood flew upside down into the sky like a curtain of rain.

Hundreds of musicians fell to the ground with a bang, and countless invisible cracks appeared in their bodies, as if thousands of crocodiles had gnawed on their bodies.

Among the more than 40 people, the most bizarre trick is undoubtedly the [Remnant Circus] from the United Kingdom - Vino.

Vino lifted the monocle as a huge carriage suddenly appeared beside him, dragging a spacious carriage that carried a miniature version of the circus stage.

In this bizarre circus stage, a pompous-looking clown wields countless blades in his hands; The other clown swallowed a mouthful of oil and picked up a lighter.

"Whooshβ€”β€”!

Peng β€”β€”!

Thousands of blades flew out of the wagons and stabbed each player's head with precision, and in no time, a curtain of blazing flames swept through the carriage, burning all the food in its path.

[Sequence Skill 1 of the second-order Remnant Circus - Opening Scene (The Remnant Circus begins to perform, but this is just an opening scene)]

At this moment, the violent sound from the other side of Seoul is getting closer, and the popping drummers are about to land on the Seoul Tower to declare the sovereignty of the land to these foreign invaders.

Lorenzo didn't bother to worry about the members of the law enforcement team, as far as he knew about these members, not a single member of the forty team members could die at the hands of these miscellaneous fish.

The boss of the Seoul dungeon, the Burst Drummer, is the highlight of the battle, and while it's easy to defeat, it's extremely difficult to make sure there aren't any casualties.

Loren raised his eyes to the left and looked at the popping drummer who was walking as he walked.

The huge porcupine looked furious, its huge palms twitching faintly with its drumsticks, and the bulging muscles on its arms seemed to be filled with irrepressible rage.

At this moment, above the sky dome, a dark red pirate ship phantom suddenly appeared, this shadow was so huge that it almost occupied half of the sky in Seoul.

"Pirate ship?" Loren left frowned.

The huge sails fluttered in the winter sky, attracting the attention of all members of the law enforcement team.

In the next moment, the Phantom Corsair aimed all its turrets and barrels at the Burst Drummer, as if there was a majestic captain directing it from behind, and fired its guns in unison.

"Peng!"

Dense fire poured down from the sky like a torrential rain, and countless cannonballs fell in unison on the bursting drummer, blasting into the drummer's head, causing a deafening roar.

Seoul, it's as if there was an earthquake.

All the tall buildings shook violently, the sound of furious artillery fire was about to overwhelm the world, and the popping drummers protected their heads with drumsticks and roared wildly with their heads down.

"Roarβ€”β€”!

Five seconds passed, and the burst of artillery fire completely stopped.

Instead, the red dragon with its wings outstretched appeared in the sight of everyone in the law enforcement team, and it waved its awe-inspiring wings and let out a loud sound that broke through the sky, bursting from the other side of the sky.

The red dragon was surrounded by a flock of violent crows, and on its back stood a young girl with snow-white hair, a young man with a giant sword, and a man with a pitch-black right arm.

"Young β€”β€”!

Not only that, from the other side of the sky, two reindeer stepped on the thunder and dragged a sleigh in the direction of Seoul Tower, staying in mid-air.

A handsome boy in a school uniform is standing on top of a sled.

The boy-in-uniform looked down at the law enforcement team below, his brown eyes shifting, and finally resting on Lorenzo's body.

"Sorry, I'm in the wrong place." The boy spoke, his voice very flat, as if he was greeting an old friend.

"It's good to come, you're going to be absent." Loren stared at him and said expressionlessly, "Solve it in three minutes, and then do whatever you like." ”

"Three minutes is too long, Big Brother Pope." Anson Deer turned his cheek and looked at the utterly enraged Burst Drummer, "One minute is enough, one more second will count me as losing." ”

"Oh, this guy is really here." Cosimo's eyes widened, he looked at Anson Deer in surprise, and shouted: "Anson Deer, you guy, don't you talk big and don't make drafts!" ”

"Stop talking nonsense, that guy is here." Anson Lu put his hands in his pockets, and his brown eyes were full of murderous intent, "Heterodimensional kangaroo, release Captain Longfan, and at the same time, the future blue bird, come to me." ”
