Prepare to fight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―...What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're coming for you next!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Yeongwoo yelled, Lemu's bodyguards suddenly changed direction, rushing out of the protective barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BAM! BAM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since killing Yeongwoo on the spot wasn't an option, they intended to use Song Jiseon's life to threaten him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―Damn it, telling me to prepare to fight, not even to run? What kind of nonsense is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiseon shouted indignantly, just as two of Lemu's bodyguards unsheathed blades from their fingertips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHIIIING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―Hey, these bastards have swords!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing their menacing aura, Jiseon flinched and prepared to unleash a breath attack, but Lemu addressed Yeongwoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>□ Your mother won't be able to defeat my subordinates. I guarantee she'll lose her life in 16 seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it was none other than the Lemu making the claim, Yeongwoo believed it to be true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This only made him more confident in his response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let's see what happens in 16 seconds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo looked to the sky, as if waiting for something, Lemu followed suit, glancing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And indeed, something appeared in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHIIIIIIIIINE!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>□ ……?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than the signature oversized anchor of Chairman Dogo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If my future fragment has a family, shouldn't that be a clue? If my mother dies here today, my future family wouldn't exist. So something else is bound to happen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excited, Yeongwoo explained as he confirmed the anchor in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But contrary to Yeongwoo's expectations, Lemu wore a baffled expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>□ Families... can be established in various ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>□ Even if your mother were to die, it’s still possible to—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lemu was about to continue when he couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive anchor descending from the sky crashed onto Lemu's ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a deafening roar, the four pillars projecting the protective barrier shook violently, and the bodyguards poised to attack Jiseon also turned their gaze skyward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KA-BOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless swords rained down from the heavens, overwhelming the bodyguards. A thunderous voice resounded from somewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―I am the one born of the battlefield, master of the Hundred-Thousand Sword Mountain, and the Destroyer King, Dogo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>□ …….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Lemu heard Dogo’s voice, he quietly pressed his forehead in exasperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, carefully addressing the void, he asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>□ Aren’t you supposed to be under containment? What brings you here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response, a massive tombstone-shaped warship emerged, connected to the anchor by chains, as the voice boomed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>―That matter has been resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Translator - Night]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Proofreader - Gun]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>w\u003C\u002Fp>",2563,"2026-06-09T07:03:45.907Z",1,"novelbin.me","a2f1b9afbe7a7ad4e9eec6d443ecedb36b2e47a3c5080acb78dc39e17dde3055","level-4-human-in-a-ruined-world-chapter-151","level-4-human-in-a-ruined-world-chapter-353",688,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flevel-4-human-in-a-ruined-world-cover.jpg"]
