The Hero
Volume 6 – Dominator
Chapter 9
In the midst of a strong smell of burning, Haneul looked back again towards the location where the monsters were rushing to earlier. There seemed to be cleaning tools and a bed used as a barrier to block out the monsters.
Haneul could see that there was a high school girl shaking behind the barrier, wearing patient clothes.
As Haneul extended his hand out, the girl screamed as she grabbed a broken mop and started attacking.
She was not acting herself due to fear.
“It’s okay, it’s gone now.”
Hit hit.
With a pitiful face, Haneul slowly and carefully reached out with his left hand.
“Grab my hand.”
The girl stopped moving for a while. She seemed to be scared to the point where she couldn’t differentiate between a monster and a person. Because of what happened at the shelter and Haneul’s promise, his heart felt warm.
He quietly walked over to the shaking girl and lightly hugged her.
“Don’t worry. I’ll protect you. I’m……”
Haneul stopped for a moment, and became more firm.
“A Hero. I’ll keep you safe and protect you.”
At that moment, the girl started pouring with tears and buried herself into Haneul. As if feeling a heavy burden on his shoulder, Haneul carefully tapped the girl’s back.
“It’s okay. Calm down. Everything’s going to be fine now.”
The girl continued to cry out in sadness, as Haneul listened to her cries and clenched his teeth.
Haneul finally got the girl to calm down, and as Haneul was leading the girl out from the hallway, he saw 5 more monsters awkwardly walking over from a distance. As the girl saw the monsters walking out from the darkness, her fear came over her once again.
“There’s nothing to worry about. Didn’t I say that I was going to protect you?”
“Y, yes…..”
“Those things will never be able to touch you, because I’m here to protect you.”
Even with those words, the girl was still filled with fear and there was nothing she could do about it. In the hands (tentacles) of those monsters, many Heroes and civilians were eaten up in an instant, and turned into those weird beings and she was there to witness it all.
“Wait here for a little while.”
The girl nodded her head.
And she continued to watch. The Hero in Silver Armor walked over to the monsters and destroyed them all with one punch. This was all very overwhelming to see for the girl.
She continued to stare drunkenly at her savior, who brought her back to life from the dead.
At the age of 18, she has never had a more shocking experience then what she had gone through just now.
A brutal monster was getting destroyed into nothingness right in front of her, and this was a shocking scene that she had never been able to experience in her life.
Hero.
There was a Hero in front of her.
This Hero promised her that he would protect her. Her heart pounded intensely as she felt that this moment was the turning point of her life.
Min HeeJoo felt that she finally became crazy out of her fear of the monsters.
However, her eyes were swaying with warmth.
“How’s the situation?”
“It seems like Silver Knight is currently inside the Hospital and being engaged. The Special Forces are besieging the vicinity, moving alongside the search team while they work on precise confirmations.”
“What are the other Heroes doing?”
“The Rank A Hero and Rank B Hero, who are quick on their feet, seem to be helping out with the search operation.”
“Motherf.u.c.ker, how many times did I tell you to send every Hero to the scene!!”
Yelled JooHyuk Park.
“Connect me to the Special Forces on scene this instant!”
As soon as the connection was put through, JooHyuk yelled out his instructions and started cussing out the Heroes that were currently helping out the Special Forces. The language was so abusive that the people near JooHyuk turned pale with surprise.
“If you guys don’t hurry up and get your a.s.ses into the Hospital, I will do whatever I can to put you motherf.u.c.kers into prison!”
JooHyuk finished off the connection with those words.
“D, Director……Is it okay for you to hang up after saying those words?”
“Those pieces of s.h.i.ts. Tell them to do whatever they want. The only reason why those b.i.t.c.hes are staying in that place helping the search operation is because they want to save their pitiful little lives. They think I won’t be able to do it? I’ll get them for aborting their mission and hit them hard with a heavy punishment!!”
Huff Huff.
JooHyuk’s rage was reasonable.
It’s already been 23 minutes since orders were given.
5 Heroes already arrived on scene. However, excluding 1 Hero, all the other Heroes were currently working together with the search team, checking to see if the monsters made it outside the Hospital.
So-called Heroes.
“Motherf.u.c.king b.i.t.c.hes. This must mean that they’re scared of the current monster.”
Heroes are different from other public officials, but they are still considered to be public officials.
In other words, even if they were to just kill off time, Heroes would still be able to get their pay. Everyone thinks of the Hero t.i.tle as something sacred because it’s related to public safety, and Heroes think of protecting civilians as a supreme task, but it was very hard to block a Hero from stepping back because of their human born fear.
It could be said that this was the reason why the Heroes currently on scene, weren’t really partic.i.p.ating on scene. They didn’t want to risk their lives against something they had no information on.
Seeing as the screen that showed the scene didn’t have any changes even after all the yelling, JooHyuk exploded once again.
“Are they still just sitting around and sucking on their little fingers!!!”
‘I, I will try and inform them once again.”
“They couldn’t understand what I said, even after all that. These f.u.c.king idiots. They’re so busy taking care of their own bodies when we have no idea what’s going on inside the Hospital. Will they start moving if I really lock up 1 or 2 of these Heroes!!”
Chapter 9 – End.
