Chapter 157 – 157 Seoarang Searang (5)
*
__Whiz!!! Whiz!!! Wow!!!!
“Why are you so noisy..”
A woman lifted herself up, barely opening her eyes at the sound of a loud notification.
“It seemed like they were doing some construction earlier…”
The ground kept rumbling, so I put on her earplugs and barely fell asleep, and now the notifications were raging again.
Her messy hair, perhaps because she had just been wandering in dreamland, made it difficult for her to open her eyes.
She stayed up all night to finish her assignment and barely went to bed, but there was no lightning flash like this.
She rubbed her eyes and somehow got herself up to open them. Her body was heavy, as if she had fallen into a swamp, perhaps because she had not yet had enough sleep.
She was angry that her own sleep was disturbed by her deafening ringing of her notifications. I would ignore the sound if it was a little quiet, but I had no choice but to stand up at the sound that penetrated her even with earplugs.
“Mom! Dad! Turn off the alarm!!!”
__Whiz!!! Wheein!!! Whiz!!!! Majesty!! Majesty!!!
I called my family inside the house, but that loud alarm sound was devoured.
If it’s that loud, who should turn it off? She went out with a jumble.
“Ah.. I said I was going to play today…”
I had an appointment today, but she remembered that she probably went to play with her family, leaving her alone.
She asked herself to go too, but where would she go when she couldn’t get a sigh of sleep?
She rejected it, so now she was left alone in the house.
“It must have malfunctioned again…”
It’s an old house, so it happened often. As the sensor ages, it seems to have malfunctioned again.
There was only one notification that sounded this loud. Gate detection alerts nearby.
Although very rare, there are cases where gates appear around private houses.
Depending on the type, there were times when monsters crossed over to the other side, but what would happen if an ordinary person met a monster?
It was a warning device designed to prevent casualties.
It takes time for monsters to come over, so there is time to evacuate, but if you are asleep like now, you will not be able to respond and you will be attacked by monsters.
Gates appear everywhere regardless of time and place, and the dawn when people fall asleep was no exception.
The alarm device, which was created to warn of such a situation, sounded like this when it detected an unusual mana wave around the gate.
It is said that it sounds when it detects demonic energy, but it is not possible that a gate has opened around here.
Like the frequent fire alarm, it was clear that something was broken as the house aged.
“Ha really… Dad asked me to fix the alarm…”
He said he knew the answer, but he was a father who always put off work. It seems that it caused such a malfunction today.
As I walked to turn off the alarm, I felt something strange.
Sometimes, I don’t know why, but sometimes I feel goosebumps in my body.
I don’t have any special ability to detect anything, but I felt insecure for some reason.
“Ah… Probably not… ?”
Of course, I thought it was a malfunction, but for some reason I felt that the surroundings were dark.
I don’t know why, but I felt a tingling sensation and ran to the window as if possessed by something.
“What… What’s this!!!”
What I saw out the window was an unknown black mass wrapped around the house.
At first glance, it looked poisonous as the black mass continued to emit an ominous gas.
“Uh… How… What should I do… !!!”
I felt my sleepiness disappear. I ran to the other window to check, but there was nothing but black mass.
A black mass that looked like a monster was gradually devouring the house, and there was no space to escape.
“Ah…”
It reminds me of articles I saw on the news. Stories about a family member dying from a monster attack, or someone getting injured.
Everyone was shocked and terrified at the first moment when the gates opened, but they were so used to repeated news.
At first, she wondered if she was going through the same thing, but as she always lived the same daily life, she became more and more dull.
She thought it would be safe because the hunters took care of it.
She didn’t know that this would happen to her.
“This… What is this… Heh… Heh heh… “
There are so many things she hasn’t done yet, but there are many places she wants to go and many things she wants to eat.
Sorrow and fear made her legs feel weak.
Could I have lived if I had woken up a little earlier?
“Professor Kim, you fucking old man!!!”
If it wasn’t for Professor Kim’s assignment, she would have gone out with her family, and she wouldn’t have suffered like this.
“Save me!!! Help me!!!”
The urge to tear out all of the old man’s remaining hair arose.
She sat down on the floor and wept bitterly. Then a man came in with the sound of a window breaking.
“There is one on this side. Are you okay?”
A cave voice that touches the heart. When I turned my head in fear, there was a man who was handsome enough to turn most celebrities into squid.
“Who… Who are you…”
“This is Daehan Academy cadet Kim Si-woo.”
“Ah..”
Her smiling face, as if to reassure her, was like an angel descending from the sky.
*
Disasters always come without warning.
Is it because of the experience of losing a family member by a gate?
Knowing the sorrow of those left behind, I had a heart that I did not want others to have such an experience.
Contrary to what I thought there was no one around, there were survivors.
If she hadn’t heard someone sadly plead for her life, this woman would have died.
“Aww!!”
She was carrying the screaming woman to her safe place with each leap in her arms.
Half of it was my responsibility, so shouldn’t I make sure that people don’t get hurt?
You can’t save everyone, but you have to save those who can.
“But didn’t you hear me earlier?”
“That’s… With earplugs…”
The truck exploded earlier, and the ground kept shaking, but on the other hand, it seemed amazing that I was sleeping at home.
I don’t know if she has a large liver or if she’s complacent, but for now, this woman seems to have been saved.
“Go to the shelter”
“Go… Thank you Is there a number…”
“Quickly.. Go..”
As Seo-ah radiated cold air beside her, the woman she had saved earlier made a shrinking expression.
“Yes…”
It was the figure of Seo-ah running fast with her bare feet, as if she couldn’t stand her eyes. She turned her head halfway through, but she didn’t stop and moved on to the shelter.
Then, turning her head, Seo-ah began to see my face clearly, so she had no choice but to turn her eyes away from me.
To be honest, I didn’t do anything.
“… “
Even Sae Ah was glaring at me, so I felt like I was guilty of something.
In this case, it would be better to change the topic. Hong Ryu-seok, who devours everything around him at random, was a good topic.
“What should I do now?”
“It keeps getting bigger..”
Really how do I do that?
Hongryuseok continues to devour the surroundings and swells the body, or can we call it Hongryuseok now?
A gigantic slime that kept bubbling like boiling lava. There was a portion presumed to be an eye, but there were no pupils, and only the shape was held in an empty state.
“It’s less gross than before…”
Seo-ah, who was next to her, murmured. Certainly, the slime-like state was less disgusting than the skin contaminated with demonic energy on Hongryuseok’s face.
Although that’s not important.
“Can I take that down?”
“At the center.. Energy is gathered..”
Did he manifest the celestial clairvoyant trait he borrowed the other day? Seo-ah was staring at one part of Hong Ryu-seok’s body.
[Selected Heroine: Yoon Seo-ah]
[Celestial Seeker: Activation]
In the two overlapping gazes, I could see where Seo-ah was looking.
As if there was a weak spot, I could see cores gathered in spheres inside that large mass.
The problem was that the core was constantly moving inside her body, not fixed in one place.
No matter how strong an attack was, if there was a difference in size, there would be no significant attack power.
My attack, which was fatal earlier, and Hong Ryu-seok, who had turned into a giant slime, felt like they didn’t even send a message to me.
Normally, it would be common to run raids on a large scale at times like this, but the number of forces that could fight right now was too small.
“That looks dangerous, oppa… Why don’t we just wait until the other hunters come?”
Se Ah, who was next to her, muttered as if it was impossible to deal with that.
Certainly, as Seo Ah said, it seemed too dangerous. Even in that state, the long tentacle grabbed a stone and threw it this way, as if he had the will to attack.
You can avoid that, but then Seo-ah and Se-ah will be in danger.
“Kyaaak~”
It sounded like an artificial scream, but she ran straight ahead of her and grabbed her sword.
[ Ellenenga Arcane Swordsmanship: LV.1 ]
Imperial swordsmanship, which was a master, changed to LV.1, but its power was different from before.
If Imperial Swordsmanship was simply a skill that raised swordsmanship skills, it took one step forward.
As soon as I started mana simbeop, the air around me began to assimilate quickly. My magic power spread out in all directions, and it became as if it were connected to me.
[Achievement: The first step to becoming an A-class hunter]
[ You can’t say you’re an A-class hunter simply because your ability is strong.
You have to be able to take control of your surroundings to be a true A-class hunter.
You have taken the first step towards becoming an A-rank Hunter! ]
[Condition: Acquiring skills related to unique areas]
[Possessed Skill: Elenenga Arcane Swordsmanship]
[Reward: Develop unique area]
It was the reward that Elenen had obtained while mastering her arcane swordsmanship.
[ Unique Area : Activate ]
The range is also narrow, so the utilization is low, but if you can use it properly, you can grow ridiculously.
He measured the distance and swung his sword.
Blue flames bloomed in the air, leaving afterimages, and the flying rocks were split in half.
__Thud!!
It was an attack that was impossible until he learned arcane swordsmanship. Is it some kind of ranged attack?
It’s a flaw that the mana consumption is a bit large, but the power is certain.
“Is everyone okay?”
“Yes.. Brother..”
“Huh..”
It’s a bit embarrassing to see it like that, but I scratched my head for nothing.
Everyone around you has been saved, and after some time, the association’s hunters will come to organize the Hongryuseok.
I don’t know if it’s okay to avoid the place at this point, but if you run away from here, you’ll move towards a private house.
Even if they look like that, seeing that they keep coming towards us, it seems that they have some will.
I wanted to stop that.
“I’m thinking of fighting, but what about the others?”
