Chapter Index

    Busan, Emergency Response Headquarters.

    “Check emergency power! Send at least one C-level person to the power generation facility, and E-level and D-level people are responsible for maintaining citizen safety and order!!”

    The president of the association shouts, blood rising in his neck.

    Normally, only his voice would have been heard by others, but now the channel is a radio channel separately assigned to the association.

    “President of the Association! This is news from the Gangneung area! There was a report that gunshots were heard!!”

    “Lower your voice!”

    Perhaps it was because the panicked operator’s voice was so high.

    The president of the association scolded her, but her voice had already spread across the country through the microphone in front of the president.

    “Ugh…! Contact the Gangneung branch! Is it a simple gunshot, or is it chaos at a military base? At least it won’t be both!”

    Although we are urging citizens to be at ease, we cannot rule out the possibility of both.

    A darkened world.

    A world where communication via satellite and overseas relay has all stopped working.

    Only radios capable of one-way radio waves perform properly.

    “Sunshade, you bastard…! Is there a communication transition yet?! Does it have to be via satellite?!”

    “Oh, they say not yet! So that we can somehow contact you through the base station within an hour…!”

    “Damn it! You bastards, after charging so much for communication fees, you didn’t even prepare for an emergency like this?!”

    The curse against Sunshade spread throughout the country, but the president of the association could not stand it.

    Although the name has now changed to something other than Haegeuneul Communications, Haegeuneul has managed all of the basic communication systems.

    “If you’re talking about satellites, optical cables, etc. and getting 150,000 won a month for Taegeuk Watch, you should at least create a system so that it can connect on its own when the satellite runs out!”

    “Tongue, President of the Association! The cause of the communication problem has been found! Sunshade Communication… No, it’s a hero’s report that arrived at the base station!”

    “What?!”

    “It is said that unidentified assailants wearing goblin masks have taken over the base station!”

    “……!!”

    The president of the association closed his eyes tightly.

    If the picture of the situation room had been broadcast across the country via video instead of radio, his distorted and despairing face would have spread across the country.

    “…Okay. I didn’t think it would simply turn the sky dark. Unless it’s a terrorist attack…!”

    The president of the association gritted his teeth and picked up the microphone again.

    “To all heroes! The enemy must also be listening to this communication! Protect infrastructure as much as possible! Dams, reservoirs, power plants and more! Subdue and arrest unidentified strange people as soon as you see them!!”

    I have no choice but to believe and tell it.

    As a non-talented person, even if the other person was listening to the radio broadcast, the only way was to take into account that they were listening and let everyone know.

    “Damn….”

    The microphone stays on.

    The broadcast could not be stopped, and the president of the association had to keep suppressing the words boiling inside him.

    Those bastards.

    The president of the association had a intuition of who was behind it, but he could not bear to reveal his thoughts to the whole country.

    Information.

    I needed more information.

    “President of the Association!! We have identified the true nature of the sound of gunfire heard in Gangwon-do! It is said that a large group of goblin riders are running down the road with rifles!”

    “What….”

    Hearing that he was a goblin, the president of the association jumped out of his seat and got up.

    “Goblin is a piece of shit! If you ride a bike wearing only a goblin mask, everyone will call you a goblin!!”

    It was a shout full of evil, but no one in the situation room could stop him.

    “Goblin?! What the hell! If you just cosplay as a goblin, are you a goblin? uh?! Send it to the whole country! No matter what he does, whether he is wearing a goblin mask or not, he is a ‘villain’! Because the real goblin is in America!”

    “Then, what about these goblins…”

    “Self-suggestion!!”

    I can’t help but think like that.

    “These are people who try to amplify their abilities by brainwashing themselves into thinking they are goblins!!”

    * * *

    1 hour and 24 minutes since blackout, Daegu.

    Will this ability become stronger just by cosplaying?

    If you are at the A level level, you cannot become stronger by imitating the S level level.

    Yun Yi-seon knew this better than anyone else ever since she was a grade A student.

    There were many pyromancers all over the world, and there were countless S-class ones as well.

    However, even if she followed them, she could not become S-class.

    The reason why Yoon I-sun was able to become the S-class hero Firefox is thanks to various things taught by Do Ji-hwan and Goblin.

    -This too is nothing more than borrowing someone else’s appearance.

    The goblin said.

    -Your supernatural ability is just borrowed from my mouth in an image that someone else has already created, and you did not create it yourself.

    The form of Firefox is clearly borrowed.

    -But if you hone it and change it to suit your tastes, and if you truly think of it as yours, it will be of great help to you.

    Even if it is in a borrowed form, if you believe that it is entirely within your power, if you truly think that way, your ego will give you strength.

    That’s how I learned it, and I fully enjoyed its effects.

    However, it wasn’t just him.

    Too doo doo ㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!

    “These!!”

    Yun I-seon threw the fox fire forward and exploded.

    He intercepted all the bullets flying towards him and jumped over the fire net by kicking his tail of flame downwards.

    Beyond the smoke, there were countless bikers wearing goblin masks.

    Some are wearing black rider suits, some are wearing military uniforms, or some are wearing goblin masks instead of helmets, which is common among those wearing the special rider suits that Haegaeun is said to have sold in the past.

    “Goblins don’t do things like that ㅡㅡㅡ!”

    He swings the fox fire in his left hand wide forward and fires arrows of flame at each of the fake goblins.

    The fake goblins quickly raise their guns and point their guns at Yoon I-seon, but even faster than that, the embers hit the top of the mask and knock down the fakes.

    “Chiit…!”

    The firepower was so weak that it was impossible to think of it being used by an S-class.

    Just as an elephant adjusts its strength when stepping for fear of stepping on a fox cub, the fireworks showed only enough explosive power to cause a fake goblin to fall backwards.

    “These people…!”

    “Wow!”

    One of the fake goblins held the K-2 rifle upside down and swung the butt downward as if trying to shoot it.

    “Goblins don’t fight like that!”

    Phew.

    A slightly sincere fist touched the mask, destroying the entire K-2 rifle.

    At the same time, the fake goblin, whose mask was broken, rolled over his eyes and fell to the side.

    “Chiit….”

    Appearing age is at least 30.

    A person who wears the mask of a goblin, but does not have supernatural powers.

    “It’s mixed…!”

    “Wow, wow!!”

    One of the fake goblins shouted, pointing a point at Yun Yi-seon.

    “The hero hit a ‘person’!! A person who is not even talented!!”

    “Huh! oh my god! How could you do that!! Not even a hero!!”

    The fake goblins screamed together as if they had been waiting.

    “Ha, haha…!”

    Yoon I-seon was furious, but calmed down when she saw the look in the eyes reflected behind the cheap mask.

    “If you’re trying to make people mad and cause them to run away, even if you find the wrong street number, you’ve got it wrong.”

    “What…?”

    “Heroes should not hit people or civilians. But…”

    Yun I-seon clenched her burning fist and stretched it wide toward the sky.

    “Terrorists are another story!”

    Hwareuk.

    The pink fox fire that flew into the sky exploded like a firecracker and flew straight towards the fake goblins.

    “Kaaa!!”

    “Hey, a hero kills a civilian…!”

    “What kind of crazy civilian in the world is holding a gun and shooting wildly in the middle of Banwoldang!!!”

    Is it because of the magical power contained in Yoon I-seon’s words?

    “Ker, keuhuh….”

    The fake goblins’ masks burst into flames, and they all fell to the ground in the middle of the road.

    “Phew….”

    Yun Yi-seon looked up at the sky with a tired face.

    “There are so many crazy people…”

    * * *

    Too doo doo doo doo!!

    The sound of the gun does not stop, and only the sound of the bullet scraping the asphalt road is heard.

    [It’s definitely difficult. It’s like a person with superpowers is holding a rifle filled with managuri and shooting wildly.]

    It was a car I rented for a long time, but it started to explode again.

    Previously, it was sunk underground, but now the car, which was bulletproof, has become a beehive.

    “Intercept, shall we?”

    [no. We must not reveal our identities yet.]

    The presence of goblins must be hidden as much as possible.

    [They don’t know who is in this car right now. I just judge by looking at the exterior of the car.]

    Currently, the activities of each hero are being reported on the radio through the voices of reporters from various places.

    Whenever the names of the heroes who take down the fake goblins and ‘mob goblins’ that appear all over the country are mentioned, people around you can be heard cheering in the background.

    But there is only one person whose name is not heard.

    “Seolhee, you loved this car so much…!”

    [Because it is a car full of patriotic memories.]

    Snow White, Baek Seol-hee.

    Although she is known to be staying in Busan, her car is now on the road with me, heading north.

    Even if the mobsters are chasing you from behind, firing bullets at you.

    [Ymir. I mentioned this ability before, but even if this ability isn’t directly taught, you can imitate it as long as you follow it, right?]

    “Suddenly saying something like that means there is a situation like that?!”

    [then. Hey, can you see it in front?]

    “…Ugh, I don’t like it.”

    About 2km ahead.

    I see someone with red hair occupying the middle of the road.

    [After making the Korean Peninsula isolated from the world, the Hwalbindang tried to steal its desperate position. Not only the goblins, but all the executives, including the mastermind.]

    Someone with red hair and at least 180cm tall.

    The large ‘man’ with his arms spread out like a weightlifter was wearing a black ‘dress’ along with a goblin mask.

    “Haha!! I was waiting! I am the fourth-generation executive of the patriotic organization, the Hwalbin Party, [Gungdoryeong]ㅡㅡㅡ!!”

    [Ymir, put an ice shield in front.]

    Baaa!!!

    [Accel, max.]
