The Hero
Volume 6 – Dominator
Chapter 6
Haneul was clearly able to feel the growing magic phenomenon.
‘It’s become a situation where I can’t receive any more instructions from the Organization. I need to move independently and make my own decisions. If I wait for the Organization to contact me, I have no idea how bad the situation will get.’
Haneul picked up his pace and disappeared into the night.
The situation this time is irrelevant to anEarthquake.
That’s why there were many things happening that were outside of calculations, and at the same time was easier for the public to understand the situation.
Hero Reporter’s were already on a helicopter, flying towards the sound of the sirens.
The Reporter Miyeon from MBB had a congested face, staring hard from above the sky, trying to figure out what the situation was like.
“It’s so dark that I can’t see the situation clearly. I can’t even see the monster yet, so why did the sirens go off?”
Suddenly, there was a blackout with the hospital being the center of it all. The blackout was very clear to see from up in the sky.
“Gasp, it’s magic. It’s a magic phenomenon!”
That wasn’t the only thing. People were also starting to appear on the roof of the hospital. As the civilians saw the helicopter, they waved their arms hard asking to be rescued.
“Is there any way we can get close to the hospital?”
“There’s no way! If we get hit by the magic phenomenon, the power will go out and we will all end up dying.”
The fact that Miyeon couldn’t help the people waving their arms around, made her heart feel uncomfortable. However, this helicopter wasn’t flying in the air right now in order to rescue people.
“Alright. Then let’s do the things that we can do.”
That’s when it happened.
From across the way, there was a right light quickly rushing towards the hospital, and Miyeon happened to see it.
“Hero!”
Finally, this was the first hero to arrive since the sirens started going off.
“This is the limit. I can’t stabilize the alt.i.tude. Let’s move out further away from this location. There’s a high chance for us to be hit with the magic phenomenon here.”
As the pilot started turning the helicopter, Miyeon yelled out to the cameraman to not miss the shot of the Hero.
“Everyone, look! In the midst of the unknown situation currently going on right now, the first hero has finally arrived! The very first hero to make it onto the scene!”
A silver figure disappeared into the dark.
After the situation arose, the very first Hero to arrive on scene was coincidentally a Hero who was there earlier for an interview but couldn’t make it back home in time. It was Silver Knight!
‘There isn’t even an Earthquake, yet there’s supposed to be a monster here?’
The magic phenomenon here couldn’t compare to an Earthquake, but once Haneul got close enough to the hospital, he was able to feel waves of magic hitting against him.
BANG!
That’s when an explosion rang out from the top floor, as the windows shattered and a plume of fire rushed out. A blank white smoke was rising up towards the sky. This was a combustion reaction caused by magic.
There was fight going on within the hospital.
Haneul did not wait and quickly rushed into the 1st floor.
Near the stairs leading towards the 2nd floor, a body was lying on the ground shaking. Haneul immediately ran to the body.
As he approached closer to it, the neck completely rotated over and something ran straight into Haneul at an amazing speed.
When Haneul blocked it with his left arm and stepped back, he was able to see what that thing was.
An ugly shape. A monster that looked like a human’s brain with a sharp tentacle tip, was constantly trying to poke through Haneul’s armor to enter through it.
“Monster?”
Haneul frowned as he gathered magic into his right fist and hit.
BANGG!!
Tumble.
The exploded brain fell down to the floor. It seemed like the monster’s defense and attack wasn’t too strong,
Haneul got up and walked towards the person lying on the ground.
Looking from up close, he could see that it was a nurse.
“Are you……”
As he was about to ask her if she was okay, Haneul realized that the nurse was already dead. The body was completely dry, and there was no blood within the body. Looking at the body, right in the middle of the back area where the spine was located; the shirt was ripped open and a pool of blood was soaked within it.
‘Spine? Was it the works of that nasty monster earlier?’
At that moment, Haneul realized what the dead monster was trying to do as it attacked him.
“That thing was trying to take over my flesh.”
Suddenly, a thought hit him like lightning.
This place was a hospital.
If this monster was the type to multiply by infesting a person’s flesh, every living human within this hospital was its goal.
‘But why is it this place?’
Questioned Haneul, but he was quickly able to guess why. The monster was an existence that came out from the waves of magic within an Earthquake. Being attracted to magic was definite and this place was filled with humans that could use magic.
Haneul sharply opened his eyes and ran up to the 2nd floor.
The hallway was filled with darkness because the electricity was out. In the midst of an unwelcomed noise ringing out next to Haneul’s ears, he was able to see a person walking uncomfortably within the darkness.
Haneul focused his eyes. As magic gathered into his eyes, his pupils expanded out and everything could be seen much more clearly.
A person was walking towards him with a huge something hanging on top of the person’s head.
