Chapter 483 – #484 Power Overflowed
#484 Power overflowed
“Are you okay?”
“Yes! It’s fine!”
“You must be tired, but please work hard. Eat this here.”
“Thank you!”
Sujeongi was walking around the defense line of the hideout, distributing food to people. Yes, it was all about bread and milk, but for the Skull Head members who spent 30 minutes like 30 years, this was also a good thing.
“You eat first. I’ll be holding them back.”
“Thank you. I’ll eat quickly and help you.”
The Skull Head members took turns eating bread and milk on their own without giving any orders. Those who didn’t eat shot at the monsters eagerly gathering while their colleagues replenished their stamina.
As soon as Sujeongi’s incident broke out, he immediately brought her to the hideout. It was because she was enjoying pre-work sex with me (Mark Chill) at an addiction rehab center.
Thanks to her, she was able to safely come to the hideout without encountering monsters. If she had met the monster, she wouldn’t even have been safe. This is because Mark Chill had the supernatural power of a healer and was working as Doctor Armor.
“… Ah.”
When I was healing my tired mind and body while watching Sujeongi for a while, people I had forgotten suddenly came to mind.
“Damn it!”
Seeing Soojung without supernatural powers reminded me of Emily, Rachel, and Cheetah Girl. The three of them were very dangerous even if only one monster appeared.
“I’m crazy! There’s something else to forget! Carinbia!”
Embarrassed, I (doppelganger) hurriedly called Carinvia.
“Did you call me boss?”
“Since the road has been paved, you guys can go back together, right? I have something to do.”
“Don’t worry here, Boss. I will risk my life to protect the people.”
“It’s reliable. But Carinvia.”
“Yes boss.”
“Even if you risk your life, don’t look for it. You’re too precious to die here.”
“… Your boss.”
Carinbia’s eyes widened as if I was unfamiliar with me saying this. Soon he bit his lip and nodded his head. It was a determined expression.
After patting Carinvia on the shoulder, I became lightning and ran to her house where Emily was at her full speed.
“Huuuuu… Mom…”
And I could see Rachel crying, hugging Emily. It felt like my heart was about to drop.
Emily, my wife is dead?
“Rachel!”
“Dad…”
“Uh, Mom! Is Mom okay?”
I hurriedly approached Rachel and checked her condition on Emily.
Beating- beating- beating-
Heart was beating
“Ahhh…”
Once Emily let out a sigh of relief that she was alive. If her heart had stopped… She might have gone mad. For a moment, it really felt like I was going back and forth between heaven and hell.
Next, I checked her body condition. There was a lot of blood on her clothes, especially her face. At this rate, it would not be strange if she died from excessive blood loss.
But-
“… Huh?”
After checking Emily’s condition, I tilted her head. Her trauma was nowhere to be seen. Then where did all this blood come from? Isn’t that Emily’s blood?
“Rachel. What the hell happened? Why is Mom doing this?”
“Huuuuu… Dad…”
“It’s safe now that Dad’s here. So calm down and talk.”
“Therefore…”
Rachel, through her tears, told her what had happened here. With that, she knew who had attacked Emily.
‘These fuck cubs are really …’
She defeated Zero, the head of Slater and the self-proclaimed beastman king, but she hadn’t dealt with all the beastmen yet. There were beastmen who crawled into the Dark City following Zero.
Originally, I was going to beat Zero and deal with these bastards, but I was so calm as if I was dead, and furthermore, I couldn’t touch it because the organization called Heroes was claiming to be the Hero Association on the outside, even if I didn’t know the inside.
So I left it alone for now… To do something like this.
‘… Fuck.’
I was so angry with myself in the past when I was complacent.
I should have given up on justification. What is the name of the villain?
While gaining popularity, I didn’t do what I was supposed to do because I was paying attention to the public’s eyes. Even though he had the strongest justification of being the enemy to be killed, he waited until he had a plausible justification.
Ha… I was telling people not to like villains, but I was actually improving the image of human scum called villains.
He was such a contradictory bastard. A bastard like me.
“I’m sorry Rachel. Daddy was late. Daddy shouldn’t have been this late, he should have stayed…”
“Huh… Dad…”
I hugged the crying Rachel and gave her little girl a pat on the back. Her daughter’s cries became a knife and pierced my heart.
“Let’s go. Daddy will take you to a safe place.”
I took Rachel and Emily and stood up.
“Kyarleung…”
Cheetah Girl came over and rubbed her face on my thighs, perhaps noticing that I was in a bad mood.
“…You must have suffered a lot.”
Cheetah Girl’s hands and feet were stained with blood. He didn’t have to ask whose blood it was. A bear carcass was strewn about outside the house. Also, a few steps away was a bear carcass with a pierced forehead.
Cheetah Girl stopped the bear beasts on my behalf.
“Let’s go. Daddy will take you to a safe place.”
“There… Dad.”
“Huh.”
Rachel no longer shed tears because I came. She, of course, whimpered as if she still couldn’t control her emotions.
“My brothers… I have to help…”
“Brothers? Ah…”
That reminded me of the children at her orphanage, where Rachel frequents. The only people Rachel would say were her younger siblings were the children from the orphanage.
‘Because Emily seems to be okay right now…’
There will be plenty of time to take the orphanage children and return to the hideout. Still, she used her healing skills on Emily just in case.
“Let’s go, Rachel.”
“Huh.”
Seok-Rachel, wiping her tears with her sleeve, took my hand. Her little fingers squeezed my hand tightly. I also held that little hand tightly.
With Emily in one hand, I headed to the orphanage with Rachel and Cheetah Girl.
*****
“Ah… Thank you! Thank you so much!”
When I arrived at the hideout, the directors of the orphanage bowed to me and thanked me. They were good people.
When a life-threatening moment arrives, people tend to reveal their true nature. That’s not to say it’s bad. Shouldn’t you do anything to live?
It was a matter of course to take care of what was necessary for survival and coolly cut off what was unnecessary. And among the things to be thrown away, helpless children and old people are also included.
They say they are children who need protection, but strictly speaking, the directors of the orphanage and the children are not related by blood.
Honestly, I could understand even if the directors abandoned their children and ran away. Isn’t it a difficult time to protect even one’s body?
But they didn’t.
I was terrified, but I did not abandon my children. I was afraid, but I did my best to protect the children. I held out with an unfamiliar gun. The children were sheltered in the basement of the orphanage in case a monster would come. He guarded the first floor alone.
Even if he dies, the monster won’t notice the children.
Who would risk their lives for unrelated children like these?
“… Thank you.”
“Yes?”
“Oh no, why are you like that? Lift your waist.”
When I suddenly bowed down and said thank you, the orphanage director and teachers were taken aback. They tried to get me up, but I wouldn’t straighten my back.
“It’s a harsh time when even the powerful hide in fear. But you guys have been courageous despite your lack of power. You guys are true heroes who deserve my respect.”
“…”
“…”
People stopped at my words. They returned to each other, and soon their eyes were red.
“I’m sorry. Thank you so much for saying that.”
When their answer came back, I straightened my back. I wanted to show them my sincerity by bowing down all day long, but I didn’t have time to do that.
Even now, innocent people are dying.
“Now I will protect them. So, take care of the children so that they are not afraid. The nightmare will soon be over.”
This is what I was saying to them and at the same time I was saying it to myself. Resolving once more, I turned around.
“Cheer up, Steel Armor!”
“I will pray for the safe return of Steel Armor!”
“Thank you!”
I could hear the voices of people cheering me on from behind. Didn’t look back Because that’s uncool!
“That person is not a steel armor.”
Then, a man intervened. Am I not Steel Armor? What kind of bullshit is this? I wanted to look back to see who the bastard was talking nonsense like that, but I held back.
“What do you mean? You’re not Steel Armor?”
“He… Is the guardian of the Dark City, who saves the city from darkness. He is the [Dark Knight].”
‘…What?’
Is it the dark night? I? Are you Commissioner Gordon?
“So let’s shout with all our might! Dark Knight Fighting!”
“Pa, fighting!”
“Dark Knight Fighting!”
“Cheer up, uncle!”
“Because the Demon King’s Armor is strong! It’s the second strongest in the world after the Princess’ Armor! Please punish the bad guys, the Demon King’s Armor!”
“Steel Armor, cheer up!”
“Dark Knight! Dark Knight Fighting!!!”
“…”
The hideout quickly became 5 minutes before opening.
No, if it’s steel armor, it’s steel armor, if it’s a dark knight, it’s a dark knight, if it’s a demon king armor, it’s a demon king armor. You confuse me too
“…But the dark knight sounds better.”
I smiled and entered the fog. Somehow, the energy overflowed.
*****
Bang-!
“Kick-kick-kick!”
“Heeik?! Sa, save me!”
The monster found a secret door leading to the basement and without hesitation broke down the door and went inside. Then the people hiding inside were terrified.
I was afraid that the monster’s face, which I had never seen before, would indeed appear in my dreams. It was as if death were walking.
Thud-! Thud-! Thud-!
The embodiment of death walked towards them.
“Ahhh!”
“Honey! Kids! I love you!”
“Sobbing!”
The terror felt by those hiding in the basement reached a climax. Now they will be mercilessly killed by that monster!
The monster stretched out his hand toward the people.
Cheer up-!
“Hey!”
“… Huh?”
People closed their eyes when they felt an unfamiliar sensation. But for some reason the pain didn’t come. A man summoned the courage to open his closed eyes.
The man’s body was tied with a gray rope. And the rope was connected to the monster’s back. The rope was not tied only to men. Others were also tied to the gray rope.
‘Why don’t you kill me right away?’
“Aaaaagh!”
“Help me!”
At that moment, people tied to gray ropes floated into the air. Of course, it was the work of a monster. The monster who lifted the people went outside without killing them.
‘Why doesn’t it kill us… Uh?’
“Huh, huh?!”
The man who came out looked around and was horrified.
It was because dozens of monsters were walking in one direction catching people with ropes protruding from their backs.
‘Where the hell… Are you taking us!’
Monsters didn’t just kill people. They were kidnapping people and taking them somewhere. The place they arrived at was a building in the city center.
Thousands of people were already captured there, and dozens of monsters were watching to prevent people from escaping.
And on the roof of the building stood a man in a white suit.
“Not yet… Not enough! More! Bring more sacrifices! The Almighty God wants sacrifices!”
The man on the roof, the White Killer, was urging the monsters.
