Chapter 627 – 627. Gates of Hell (2)
American West.
Los Angeles.
“Kyaaak-!”
“Uh, aaaaagh! Save me, save me!”
The smell of smoke and sulfur wafts from all over the city.
A chill permeates the air, and the bustling streets are filled with terrifying screams.
The darkness coming from the gates of hell approached the continent in an instant.
The monster’s attack was a surprise to the hunters as well as the general public.
“Damn it. We have to kill the bastards who said they were safe even though they could see the darkness over the horizon. Let’s take them as experts?”
“… Shut up. This isn’t the time to talk about that.”
“Here! There are survivors. Support us!”
The A-class hunters who came to the scene were evacuating the general public while grasping the situation.
Rescue teams were everywhere looking for survivors, and the wounded were being transported to the rear and being treated in temporary hospitals.
It was as if a natural disaster like an earthquake or tsunami was being dealt with, but the raid was not over yet.
Thud! Thud!
Kyaaak-!
One-eyed giants that shook the floor with every step and gargoyles that flew through the sky.
From the half-human, half-beast Minotaur to the devil soldiers with goat horns.
The monsters that destroyed the city in half moved without stopping.
“Prepare for battle! Wizards spread the magic circle!”
“That monster doesn’t work with magic! Even if I use magic, everything bounces off!”
“What the fuck. Are you going to die because of that?! Do something!”
It took more than 10 A-class hunters to deal with one hell monster.
Considering that most of the abilities are B-class or lower, you can see that the monsters of hell are stronger than the monsters that have appeared in dungeons and gates so far.
The good thing is that they are still figuring out the life form that is human.
He hadn’t come out of town yet.
But no one knows how long that time will be.
The darkness that covered the sea from the gates of hell became a solid ground and became a path for monsters to roam, and the pitch-black darkness reached the sky above the sea.
There was no time to prepare because the raids were carried out simultaneously all over the world, and humans suffered damage on an incalculable scale.
All countries declared martial law and gathered capable people to prepare for national emergencies.
Humans who naturally came together discovered something strange.
Large guilds, governments, and hunter associations had to establish emergency response plans to deal with monster attacks.
In the process, information was shared, but strangely, there was a country with less damage.
“Why… Only France and Korea suffered less damage?”
“Are there any similarities between the two countries?”
[This is the geographical reason of the end of the continent.]
[A certain temperature or atmospheric condition is a condition.]
[There is no prey for monsters in the two countries.]
Etc.
Many reasons were given, but none of them were valid grounds.
For geographical reasons, all countries were attacked at the same time.
It was not safe to be inside the continent. In places that did not touch the sea, gargoyles and gigantic birds of prey flew through the sky.
Of course, the assumption itself is wrong.
It’s because a huge amount of monsters have invaded Korea and France as well.
Even so, it was even more strange because the damage was small.
“This, this… Is magic working on the Cyclops!?”
“Not only that. The activity of the gargoyles has noticeably decreased. In addition, the strength of the Minotaur…”
After the video of monsters appearing in Korea and France was released, the wave was even greater.
The monsters of hell, each of which was a disaster, were remarkably weak in Korea and France.
Experts and scholars immediately started analyzing again, and the reason was quickly revealed.
France and Korea.
And even some provinces in the United States.
There was no way they couldn’t find common ground when they were giving answers like this.
“…They are the countries that broke the Black Pillar.”
Breaking the black pillar that everyone was against.
The strength of the monsters had something to do with it.
*
– Whoa!
A huge roar reverberates through the buildings.
The monsters from hell that appeared in the middle of Busan roamed between buildings as if looking for something.
– Crew. Kreuk…
Hell’s magic.
What the monsters are looking for did not exist in this land.
Of course, it was possible to fight without the magic of hell.
For example, Chiron also overpowered humans without the magic of hell.
However, Liliana, who easily defeated him, was strangely strong, while Chiron was on the very strong side in Hell.
The monsters of Hell did not have that much power. They were just monsters running around in hell.
If it had the magic of hell, it would be like a disaster, but if it didn’t have the magic of hell, it was just a monster.
Cheak-
The head of the gargoyle that crossed the sea easily fell off.
The hum of the half-man, half-beast Minotaur has noticeably decreased.
“Aim for that bastard’s wings!”
“Prepare the magic circle! One, two, three will shoot!”
South Korea began the initial suppression of the monster as soon as it appeared.
It was the result of Lee Ho-yeon running around for several days and showing his sincerity to those in high positions.
“Are there reinforcements yet?!”
“Soon, they say they’ll arrive soon!”
“Hold on until the giant appears…!”
Emergency power units waiting in various parts of the city fiercely resisted.
The biggest difference between Korea and other countries is that it can minimize damage with only emergency power.
Even if you can’t defeat all of those monsters, you can buy time for the normal people to evacuate and reinforcements to come.
– Kruck!
Kwaaang-!
At that time, a huge one-eyed giant appeared between the buildings.
Even if it was weakened, it was too strong an enemy for the B-class hunters who were standing by as an emergency force to deal with.
Thump- thump-
“Do, run away!”
“Damn it! The building is collapsing! Run if you don’t want to run!”
The one-eyed giant approaches and the building that was pushed lightly collapses.
A huge shadow covering his head.
The B-class Hunter, who was on standby with emergency power, closed his eyes.
“… Ah?”
However, what fell on his head was not a building, but several pieces of cement.
When I carefully raised my head, an unbelievable scene unfolded before my eyes.
This is because the entire building was floating in the air covered in blue magic.
– Whoa!
Cheak-
The blue mana was not enough to support the building, so it dug out the eye of the one-eyed giant.
The giant, which B-class hunters couldn’t even guess, died with a single magic spell.
After the giant, who was struggling in pain, collapsed.
Lee Ho-yeon, who approached from afar, reached out to the B-class Hunter.
“Are you okay? Can I walk back by myself?”
“Yes, yes. It’s okay… I’ll get up by myself.”
“You can go to the association building and wait for orders. You know where the general public was evacuated, right?”
Swoop-
The B-class Hunter cautiously raised his head.
The shadows overhead move around.
Even if you deal with the monster…
He couldn’t understand how well he handled mana to hold a building that big.
Thud-
Lee Ho-yeon put the building down carefully.
He tapped his smart watch, blocking the dust from the floor with magic.
“I’m Lee Ho-yeon. I’ve taken care of area A. I’ll head to area B.”
That buck that buck
Lee Ho-yeon walked to area B as if he didn’t care about the hunters.
It was because there was confidence that there were no risk factors around.
“… Can I become like that if I work hard?”
“You know he’s 20 years old now, right? Stop talking nonsense and take your magic book and follow him. You should get a reward.”
“Ugh, ugh.”
The hunters, who were on standby with emergency power, looked at Lee Ho-yeon’s back and returned to the association.
Fortunately, they knew their subjects well.
‘With this, Korea can be stopped without damage.’
Lee Ho-yeon was relieved after confirming the monster’s strength.
Looking at the news, the monsters that appeared overseas seemed as strong as Chiron.
Huge damage has already been done, and a state of emergency has been declared.
However, Korea and France suffered little damage.
[They say that only Korea has no damage, what is this? Did Grandpa Dangun carry it?]
[I took a picture with the monster. It’s surprisingly worth catching, but why are you making a fuss abroad?]
[Now the whole world is in an uproar. Strangely, only Korea and France were unaffected. However, if monsters from overseas enter Korea, it will be dangerous, so be careful.]
‘They’re all the same guys.’
Looking at the smart watch, I could feel the huge gap between Korea and overseas again.
Korean monsters being organized in the academy cadet line were not a big social problem.
“The light is on the back of your foot, so your head should be fine now.”
It’s only a matter of time before it turns out that the black pillar is the problem.
Lee Ho-yeon had to do what he had to do before that.
Lee Ho-yeon walked to Area B and spread his magic.
He was in order to deal with the remaining monsters in Area B.
Swoop-
I extracted the mana from his body and made it into my thin thread.
Two cadets came to assist in Area B.
They were friends that Lee Ho-yeon knew very well.
‘Open eyes.’
Lee Ho-yeon’s eyes shone with golden light, and his magic orb floated above his head.
There are 13 monsters affected by magical power detection.
It was troublesome to search for them one by one, so I thought to deal with them all at once.
‘Lightning part (落雷符).’
The magical power that spread like a thread clung to the monsters, and Arc, which calculated the distance, shot out lightning.
The lightning that crossed between the buildings was pierced between the monster’s forehead in an instant.
– Krrrr!
– Koo, oh oh oh!
It is a magic that even the strongest one-eyed giant among the monsters could not endure.
For miscellaneous guys, one room was enough.
Coo-!
Lee Ho-yeon, who annihilated a monster in a district in the blink of an eye, approached familiar faces.
The cadets in charge of Area B are twins Lucy and Rumi.
I could see Lucy gasping for breath as if exhausted, as if she had used her magical powers tremendously.
“Haa… Huh, whoa… Lee Ho-yeon. I’m having a hard time.
“You can still fight. Lucy. Why are you acting so hard?”
“Hehe. I got caught.”
Lee Ho-yeon patted Lucy on the back and handed her the drink she had brought.
He didn’t forget to give it to Rumi, who blinked beside him.
“Gulp. Gulp. Frauah, ugh. I’ll live.”
“Thank you, Mr. Hoenn…”
“Don’t drink too fast.”
Lee Ho-yeon looked at the two and smiled.
The academy, which had plans to resume classes soon, eventually focused on supporting the public.
There was a request from Lee Ho-yeon, and it was actually an emergency.
She was in area A, and she knew Lucy and Rumi were in charge of area B, so she came here worried.
The twins I hadn’t seen in a while were still bright.
“But did you kill all the monsters around you?”
“Yes. Rest in peace.”
“… Can I rest here comfortably?”
“How important rest is. That’s how you kill other monsters.”
“That’s true, but…”
Lee Ho-yeon checked the smart watch again.
Monsters from Hell have begun to attack the world.
It would be right to move immediately to reduce the number of victims, but Lee Ho-yeon focused on reducing the damage in Korea.
There is a saying that mend a barn after losing a cow.
It means taking action only after something has already happened, in other words, the barn pays attention only when the cow is lost.
I have experienced human selfishness many times and know how to deal with it.
‘Everybody needs to be fucked to come to their senses.’
Anyway, what you have to do is the same.
Focusing on reducing the damage in Korea and focusing more on the heroines.
He taught me how to deal with monsters, so he intends to focus on Korea only until he asks me to break the black pillar.
Lee Ho-yeon brushed off the dust from his body and checked the other areas.
