The Hero
Volume 6 – Dominator
Chapter 7
Haneul’s eyes turned scary. His magic started to rise and leak out, in accordance to his feelings.
At that moment, the thing on top of the head shook violently and the body that was walking slowly and awkwardly, suddenly became quick. The body quickly covered the s.p.a.ce between itself and Haneul to attack.
With this speed and reaction, a normal human would definitely be eaten by it. However, the one it was currently facing was an appointed Rank A Hero, Silver Knight.
Haneul’s right fist flew like a thunderbolt in a straight line, and hit straight into the monster.
Booom.
Tumble.
As the monster splattered onto the ground, the body it was attached to also fell to the ground, as if a puppet that lost its strings. Haneul checked the pulse of the person in order to confirm their state.
They were worse off compared to the person downstairs.
The collapsed person’s veins were completely shut off and was not even breathing.
‘Does this mean it’s pointless for the body even if I get rid of the monster?"
Crack.
Two bizarre feelings could be felt near Haneul.
Sensing the weak magic that was being emitted, they seemed to be the same type of monsters as the ones before them.
“These pieces of s.h.i.ts.”
Haneul moved.
Feeling the magic that was being released by Haneul, these monsters also started moving towards him.
“Are you guys wanting the power that I have?”
“Ki kikiki.”
The monster’s eyes were blinking and the bodies that were taken over seemed to be drooling, while their eyes were flipped back.
These people lost all connection to their senses and have just become mindless puppets.
They awkwardly and slowly walked towards Haneul and just like before, suddenly changed pace and moved quickly.
“You must think that I’m just going to sit here and get attacked by you guys huh.”
Haneul’s fist flashed like thunder consecutively. As his fists moved forward in a straight line, the powerful fist would touch the head of monster and a loud sound could instantly be heard.
As the monsters died, the infested humans would also fall to the ground and die.
Haneul frowned.
His heart was feeling heavy because he was not sure if he was killing the monsters, or the humans.
“What should we do now?”
The Heroes that were pushed up from the 6th floor to the emergency exit leading to the roof, had embarra.s.sed expressions.
They wanted to do their best to protect the civilians, but the expansion of these monsters were inhumanely fast. The Heroes felt like they were becoming fodder to the civilians that they could not save on the 1st and 2nd floor.
The thankful thing was that these monsters weren’t as strong as the Heroes initially thought they would be.
The monsters were slow, and if one was to be careful of the magic being released by them in a certain distance, there was nothing to be worried about.
However, there was a reason why these Heroes couldn’t move from this spot right now.
The Heroes briefly engaged in combat with the monsters in order to retreat. Therefore, they focused on attacking the center of the brain of the monsters to inflict damage and to kill them.
But, the host also ended up falling to the ground.
Not being able to check if that person was okay or not was what was making them unable to move.
They were Heroes that needed to protect the humans. If attacking the monsters in order to kill them also affected the humans, and killed them as well, it was the same thing as the Heroes causing a huge ma.s.sacre.
“Gunman, their fighting capabilities seem to be on a low level. If they stay the same as they are now, I think we should be able to take them on.”
“That I already know as well. However, even if that was true, I don’t think it’s the right decision to fight them right now. That monster is very wicked and it’s using the people as a shield.”
“But, if we don’t do anything now, we’re just going to end up being pushed up into the roof. If the magic phenomenon isn’t gone, the helicopter won’t even be able to get near this area. In the end, we will all be pushed into a corner.”
As Gunman was starting to hesitate, another Hero started spouting out firm opinions. That was because there was no place else that they could go to.
“s.h.i.t. That’s not the only thing. As everyone should be able to feel as well, the magic phenomenon is also growing in a rapid rate. There is a leader amongst these monsters releasing the magic that’s causing the phenomenon. We must make the decisions soon!”
BANG!
The door to the stairs got destroyed.
The Heroes had nervous expressions as they backed away.
There were quite a bit of obstacles set up within the emergency exit, but there was no way to stop the monster from combusting magic in order to get rid of those obstacles.
“Gunman, this is it. If we get pushed back from here, there won’t be any more methods in stopping them. The civilians behind us will also get involved. We need to put them as our number 1 priority! Religious precepts are important but you should understand what our priorities should be!”
BA BANG!
The obstacles were starting to fall apart.
‘Is this the limit?’
Gunman’s closed eyes, abruptly opened.
“Alright. Seeing as how the situation came this far, there’s nothing much we can do. Let’s fight. There’s no doubt that there will be more casualties if we don’t decide to act now. Worrying whether those people are dead or not, and being pushed back isn’t helping any of us right now.”
“Wait, wait! Everyone please wait! Those people there are also civilians. We Heroes have the mission to protect those people too! What is the reason for our existence?? We’re not, we’re not at our limit yet. If this place can’t be held, then we can still move up to the emergency exit near the roof!”
There was a person yelling out with a strong voice.
It was Ironman. He did not see this situation as being the limit. He felt that they were still able to hold up even a little bit longer.
“No, this is the limit.”
Affirmed Gunman.
Chapter 7 – End.
