Chapter 184 - Very basic move

Chapter 184: Very basic move
If viewed from far away, it would look like a hyper-realistic drawing by a talented artist. That could only be because the bottom of a giant steel man was walking around with a top that was the city itself. No one would’ve ever thought that such a thing could exist in reality. However, it wasn’t a dream.
The leg of the giant that carried the city was real.
It was originally the labyrinth of Blass that had changed shape. However, as its massive size suggested, Dohyuk and Blass had to search all underground caverns and basements in the area for materials. After gathering enough metals, they used large amount to create a barricade around the 2nd city outer wall and used the rest to create the leg. The creation was of course done by Blass, but one who was moving it was a person. It was Dohyuk, sitting below the city at about the waist area of the giant leg.

…

His eyes were closed as he was drenched in sweat. What was being activated was his Nature.
-Kindest Process


The ability that originally belonged to Cactus Bill now belonged to Dohyuk after Dohyuk digested it. There were a lot of similar talents that allowed one to control metals, but the reason why Cactus Bill was once considered one of the Phenomenal Nine was because the amount of metal that could be controlled was only limited by the power of muscle. Since most skills required magic stats and other things that were not related to physical traits, it would make one with such talent to be vulnerable in physical form.
But Kindest Process did not have this issue. It only required enough Strength. The power of this skill increased as the wielder of talent increased in physical form.
Even then… the amount of metal being controlled by Dohyuk was just too much. A metal enough to carry an entire city and the ground itself. Dohyuk’s Strength was over 1000, but he might not have been able to do this if he was in his original state. And as such, he wasn’t doing this alone.

Benta, Sen… Zettep…

Heeyun was on the seat behind Dohyuk, mumbling enchantments that she learned in the past few months. Her talent allowed her to absorb light energy, turn it into mana, and then give it the shape of any form she wanted. As such, she focused on her supporting skills and learned the enchantment.
[Whisper of the Great Witch – AA+]
What she was mumbling right now was to increase Dohyuk’s Strength rating. The mana required for her to maintain the spell was the mana she stored during the past two or three months. The amount of energy being used was too fast compared to how long it took for her to gather it, but the effect was amazing.
It allowed Dohyuk to move the metal so that the city could walk across the land. Just a step allowed them to walk across an entire region, averaging hundreds of meters. However, if this was for transport, the amount of resources used was a waste.
With the sound of a footstep making the ground tremble, the giant’s leg entered another region. It was the third reigon of another God that Dohyuk’s city was passing through. The one in control was Febill. Febill was the aggressive type — including both him and his followers — but none of that mattered here.
And to Dohyuk’s closed eyes, he saw words popping up.


[Detected infringement of First Law.]
[Detected ‘God: Febill’ in prohibited interruption.]
-Godly power banned.
It seemed Febill had tried to do something to the giant leg and the city above it, but failed.
‘Good.’
Dohyuk smiled as he confirmed his plan was working. The purpose was safety, not only to Dohyuk but to his citizens. The reason why Dohyuk had been walking alone outside the city was not only because it was efficient, but because his citizens were hated by other gods.
But with this method, even when his entire city was moving through, his citizens were inside Dohyuk’s city so there was no way they could be harmed by any godly powers. Not only that, but any physical threats being made on land would prove to be ineffective against a giant metal leg.
Step by step, each movement raised hell on the ground whenever it came down.

Febill tried many times, probably angry at Dohyuk’s city that suddenly appeared, but the leg and the city was Dohyuk’s region, so nothing Febill tried worked.
‘I won’t stay locked in forever.’
If it wasn’t a region with at least three or four regions stacked together to increase its power, there was no way to stop this walking city.



Mayor, five steps back, 11 o’clock.

On the opposite side of Heeyun, with Dohyuk as the center, a citizen who was on watch shouted and the giant turned directions. They were heading toward the old North Korean city of Shin Yi Ju. Jehoon, who went out to scout, sent information that a hungry beast named Zeil was in the region. It seemed that Jehoon was in trouble. The giant city was now walking toward that direction.
‘The region is about 9 towers large.’
Considering the fact that Antum, whom Dohyuk recently fought, had about 7 towers, this was close and manageable enemy. And there was something that Jehoon added that couldn’t be ignored.
-There seems to be a building built in the center. I have to look more closely, but if what I saw is right…
The building seemed to be a building to house people. It housed at least thousands that didn’t seem like fighters, but what Jehoon couldn’t understand was that these people seemed to be protected.
-There seems to be about thousand to 2 thousand followers, but they don’t live in the dome building. They interact with people in the dome. It seems that the people inside the dome give detailed instructions for labor to…
Jehoon couldn’t understand the purpose of the building so he ended it there, but Dohyuk had no second thoughts about it.
‘It’s a prison.’
And those thousands of people should be uncorrupted people being raised as livestock.


‘I will kill them all and rescue them.’
Dohyuk knew the importance of the battle this time. He had to achieve his goal, but in a perfect way that everyone in the city will agree as this was the beginning of a journey. Even if Dohyuk achieves his goal, if citizens lose the will to fight and stop wanting another war, then it was bound to fail.
Step by step, the giant moved and Dohyuk panted. And after about half a day of time…

I see a white building toward the front!

A spotter shouted, signaling that it was time. The city kept on moving. There was no time to stop and hesitate. The fight had to be quick. Besides, the energy moving giant leg, Heeyun’s mana storage was reaching its end. They had already determined that Heeyun was going to have just enough to move to the next target that they made the move.

Everyone, positions!

People above the city moved quickly. After training the past few months, and remembering what must be done for the past hour, every citizen was ready for the upcoming war. The region below the city was a vast jungle.
The jungle seemed quite deserted, but it was a terrifying place with the most number of ‘species’ that lived beneath it, each developed in devilish ways to create a living hell. And when the giant city had about six steps left in its energy, thousands of roars came from all sides of the forest.
And with about 1/10 of its forest being overthrown, a giant beast that was about the same size of the city with a giant leg arose from the ground and attacked. Its top was a horned leopard with its serpent like bottom. The beast jumped higher than the city itself, shadowing the city with its shadow.
But the city, or rather its leg, moved in most familiar movement. Dohyuk, with his very basic kick move, used it with the giant metal leg. The beast’s fang came down upon the place where the city had been.
And the giant metal leg struck the monster’s left flank. A powerful shock trembled the area, signaling the start of the war.
