The Hero

The Hero

Volume 4 – Wizard Type

Chapter 4

Burning Soul could not move from his spot, because of the many enemies surrounding him and continued to fight on. Haneul similarly could not move.

The fight seemed to be similar circ.u.mstances, but it was completely different.

It was hard to consider a Wizard type as an archenemy for a Hero who’s basically fighting in his first real battle. For extremely unlucky circ.u.mstances, a Hero with a certain power might have a negative impact on the enemy, and might not be able to do any damage at all.

BOOOM!!

Haneul was hiding behind a building fragment as the tentacles were lashing around like a whip. His confidence in this fight was completely down, and he was extremely embarra.s.sed with how he acted all tough in the beginning…..

‘f.u.c.k. That thing is way too strong. I have no doubt that that thing is the main enemy for this Level A Earthquake.’

The amount of information that Haneul had regarding this mission was extremely low. He wasn’t listening to instructions from the Organization, nor did he even have any form of communication with them.

Haneul still thought that this Earthquake was Level A.

However, it’s already been established that this Earthquake is now a Level S. This change was due to the appearance of the Wizard types.

They were the most dangerous with their indefinite features, and this particular Wizard was a Hero Killer that destroyed the D rank ad C rank heroes in the shelter.

Rustle.

The strands of tentacles started damaging the ground heavily again.

Bang BangBangBanggg!!

‘s.h.i.t, I’m not able to close the gap like I did earlier. What should I do?’

Haneul fought battles with a very simple style until now.

He would gather up his magic, condense it, close the gap between himself and the enemy, then throw out a punch with his condensed magic. When he did, Haneul was able to win every single battle with one punch.

Every battle Haneul fought, he was able to overwhelm the monsters with his power, once he got into a close range. Haneul has never fought with a long ranged monster. That is why, facing the Tentacle type Wizard was such a ha.s.sle and annoyance.

The main physique for its body was slightly bigger than the Hound. To put it simply, I guess it was the size of a 10 year old kid? The problem was, in between Haneul and the Wizard’s main body were thousands and thousands of long tentacles.

Once those tentacles split apart and thrashed about in omnidirectional movements, it was hard to get through for an attack.

‘If I can’t get in to attack at close range, I need to figure out a way to attack it from long range…..’

Haneul figured he needed to do something whether it worked or not. He wasn’t able to follow through with the same battle tactics in this fight. The tentacles continued to whip about, causing havoc and destruction to its surroundings.

There was only one way to destroy this Wizard and that was to use explosive magic from afar.

A method to do such an attack formed inside Haneul’s mind.

However, the problem was whether it was doable in reality or not.

Haneul clenched his fist very tightly.

Magic started condensing into his fist as a large amount of heat was produced.

Haneul first needed to measure the distance.

Suddenly, the tentacle Wizard started raising its own magic as the speed of its tentacles moved about multiple times faster than before. The tentacles were aiming for Haneul’s location.

BANG BANG BANNG!

Right then, in the midst of all the debris and dust flying about, a figure clad in Silver Armor jumped out with the speed of a thunderbolt.

‘I can do it! I can get close to it now!’ thought Haneul.

Currently, a great amount of tentacles were lodged in and stuck inside the ground. It would take some time for the Wizard to pull them back out for another attack and Haneul would not miss this chance.

With extreme focus, Haneul stuck close to the ground as if he’d touch it, and moved with speed. He wanted to get rid of this monster with one punch! If only he could pour the correct amount of magic into his one punch!

Suddenly the tentacles on the right made noise and started spinning as if it was a fan.

“Ugh!”

Boom boomboom.

Haneul started falling back from the force of the tentacles. .h.i.tting his body. He straightened out his body and mind as he waved his arms around, attacking everything around him.

BAAM!

With a huge explosion, tentacles ripped into shreds. The monster quickly retracted the arms that were spinning like a fan. Half of tentacles burst into pieces through the random punches that Haneul threw out.

Behind a collapsed part of a building, Haneul sat down as he tried to calm his breathing. He felt a huge danger from the fan like tentacles from earlier, and thought he was going to die.

“I’m so dizzy.”

In the midst of Haneul’s heart beating madly, the Tentacle continued to press forth with its attacks.

BANG BANGBANG!

As if the monster was able to feel the dangers of Haneul’s fists from earlier, it now condensed the tentacles to be much thicker, and it lashed out with much stronger and dangerous attacks.

Haneul, who’s been in hiding until now, dodged the attack that was coming from above and jumped out. As he did, he busily moved from side to side in order to dodge the attacks.

‘Chet chet. Gracious me. This would be so much simpler if its attacks were still random just as it was in the beginning. Then I would’ve been able to destroy all of the tentacles one by one and closed the gap between us.’

However, the attacks from the tentacles were now different, and what Haneul was thinking was not feasible.

As Haneul slowly tried to condense more magic into his arms, the Tentacle used its arms to attack more consistently, and even harder than it had before. Because the rhythm was faster and different, Haneul who was used to its previous pace, was now having a hard time dodging.

Boom!

As the tentacles were flying about, Haneul was once again hit on his side as he flew out and tumbled several times on the ground.

“Ugh this piece of s.h.i.t. It’s really becoming annoying now.”

The cussing Haneul now felt that there was nothing else that he could do. He needed to get rid of the magic that was condensed in his arm and he needed to do it from long distance.

“With the situation being as it is, there’s nothing more I can do but test it out.”

Chapter 4 – End.
