The Hero
Volume 7 – Disjunction
Chapter 1
“d.a.m.n it……..I’m telling you guys to all come out at once.”
With Haneul’s internal organs damaged, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he focused his magic into his right arm. He again tried to summon and launch out a heat wave.
“Wait! Wait, hold on a second! I’m telling you to stop!”
Hearing someone’s voice from across the way, Haneul stopped and retracted his fist back.
“s.h.i.t, we’re on the same side!! Stop it! Hey, Gunman over there, you stop too. What are you doing right now? What are you Heroes going to gain by fighting each other?”
Haneul turned his head to the direction of where the voice was coming from as he raised a weaker hot air. As the smoke was starting to dissipate, the figure of a person could be seen beyond the dark.
There wasn’t a Dominator above his head.
“Hero, are you a Hero?”
“Silver Armor…….You can’t be, Silver Knight?”
The two reevaluated the person in front of them, who they thought was an enemy.
Both sides stared at each other with a blank face.
Haneul frowned.
“The bundle of light rays that were shot at me earlier. Was that you?”
“Was the person that was rushing at me like a p.i.s.sed off rhino you then?”
A short time of silence pa.s.sed.
As if he was exhausted, the gunman release a long sigh.
“s.h.i.t. How fortunate. I really thought I was going to die. Thank you, Sonic Boom. If it wasn’t for you, I would have been killed by a friendly force.”
Gunman felt exhausted thinking about the scary attack that was just in his face a few moments ago. It felt like a volcano on the verge of exploding.
“But how did things end up this way? I’m pretty sure that I was fighting with an enemy until now.”
“I also thought that as well.”
Fighting with strong powers, they were both about to kill each other off friendly fire. The thankful thing was that they were both able to stop before it happened. Haneul’s magic nature was to immensely compress his explosive power until the moment of impact. Lighting up the air and raising a hurricane of fire was something that occurred along the way. Because, Haneul didn’t hit an object, he was able to pause in between his attack.
Walking out from the broken wreckage, Haneul frowned. Thinking about it again, the magic waves being emitted from half way through, were different from normal.
‘Why wasn’t I able to notice it? Was it being really clever and confusing our senses? One thing’s for sure. The true body has itself hidden somewhere within this area.’
Right as Haneul was thinking of that.
“Well, where is the true body?”
Muttered Gunman after much speculation.
Focusing his senses, Haneul started to feel out the different magic patters being emitted from the inside of the Hospital.
“Are the people above this floor all Heroes?”
“Ah, Yes. That’s correct. We were protecting them from the stairs by fighting these little b.a.s.t.a.r.ds.”
“What are you talking about? What do you mean true body……Didn’t the both of you guys already deal with it?” (Sonic Boom)
Arriving a little bit later, Sonic Boom asked Haneul and Gunman with a frustrated expression. When Sonic Boom arrived, his heart was on the light side because he thought it was the end of the situation. Looking at all the dead people within the Hospital, this fight wasn’t really taxing on the physical body, but more on the mentality.
Gunman shook his head.
“Nope, there is a boss within this group of monsters. It’s watching everything and it’s an existence that’s giving out all of the instructions. We need to find that thing. Sonic Boom, you hurry and go tell the Special Forces this info. Because that thing is the true body that’s made everything the way it is now.”
Understanding the situation now, Sonic Boom summoned the wind as he jumped out from the window.
Closing his eyes, Haneul was doing his best to detect the magic waves.
‘It shouldn’t have been able to run away to the outside yet. However, it’s a very cunning b.a.s.t.a.r.d. I don’t know how it did it, but it somehow got our side to fight each other and thinking we were each other’s enemy. It was then able to move.’
As Gunman went upstairs to ascertain the current situation, Haneul continued to feel out the weak magic waves and started to follow it. Although the feeling was starting to disappear, if he was to continue following this feeling…….
“It, it’s this place! Silver Knight, it’s over here!”
Haneul turned his head.
Looking back at the direction of where the voice was coming from, Haneul could see a person wearing patient clothes as he held a metal pipe.
“Ironman? It seems like you were safe.”
“There’s no time! It’s this place right here! Are you not able to feel it? That b.a.s.t.a.r.d went in that direction.”
“What……..”
“With my powers, I’m not able to get rid of it. However, I’m sure you can. There’s no time to waste by stopping here. We must move immediately!”
The location where Ironman was pointing out to.
It was within the reception area.
