episode_0006

A huge radiance emanated from my body.

[Flash Burst]

Flash Burst, a skill that inflicts short stun and blindness over a wide range.

In what seemed like only a moment, I teleported to her apartment and gently picked her up as she collapsed.

Without realizing it, my appearance had returned to that of a red dragon with sprouted scales.

The back of his pants were torn, revealing a long tail covered in scales.

The surrounding monsters are still confused by the flash burst. I quickly dispatched the monsters with magic missiles.

Keekeeek─

The Wyvern that was shot down by the magic missile crashed and screamed.

The girl in my arms looks at me, rubbing her eyes. It seemed like he didn’t suffer from blindness.

The moment she thought it was the last time, she lowered her head to the ground, so it seems she wasn’t greatly affected by the flash burst.

“Ah… ”

“Are you okay, miss?”

After thinking for a while about how to treat her, I decided to think about my appearance and treat her appropriately.

To her, I, a red lizard covered in scales, would look no different from a monster, so I thought it would be better to keep a reasonable distance from her.

“Why did you do such a stupid thing?”

“Stupid… ? that… all… Are you by any chance the guy across from me earlier?”

“… It looks okay.”

Aside from being surprised, she seemed fine, so I helped her up.

Unexpectedly, he didn’t seem too scared when he saw my appearance. It’s a bit surprising.

I sighed. It was something I did haphazardly and unconsciously, but there was nothing I could do about it once this situation arose.

It’s a little earlier than originally planned, but I have no choice but to intervene from now on.

I turned away from her, walked towards the railing, and cast a levitation spell.

[Levitation.] Low-grade floating magic.

It has the disadvantage of not being able to move at high speeds or quickly change direction in the air like the higher level magic, Flight, but in the current situation it is not a big problem.

Since we had decided to intervene early on, it would have been better to quickly suppress the gate incident.

As I was flying into the sky, I heard her voice from behind.

“Lizard man! You saved me, right? Right? Did you do that magic thing that just shined?”

Instead of answering, he extended his finger and pointed to the rooftop door.

A sealing spell was fired from the finger and the door to the rooftop was blocked. It is a sealing magic that does not break even when hit by a 15-ton truck. With this magic, she will be safe from monsters trying to climb onto the rooftop.

“Name…Please tell me your name, mister!”

I kept hearing her say something from behind, but I tried to ignore it and continued flying into the sky.

Do I feel like a second-year middle school student right now? Thinking about that, I laughed to myself.

I had no intention of having a deep relationship with her, since we were only passing by for a moment. I might think about it if we meet again later.

I stretched my hand forward and fired magic.

Since my goal was to reveal my presence, I mainly used magic that seemed flashy rather than powerful.

The light attribute series is not a type of magic that I enjoy using, but it is very visually flashy on the outside, so it can be seen as suitable for attracting people’s attention.

Chain lightning and flash bombs were fired and began to burn the Wyverns in the air.

A huge firecracker-like explosion of light exploded, and the intense chain of electricity completely roasted the Wyverns. And yet, the chain of lightning continued to search for prey.

─Keee!

The Wyverns screamed. While they were calmly hunting humans, or prey in their situation, they seemed confused by what suddenly happened.

I don’t know what to do.

Their black bodies burned under the rush of lightning, releasing an acrid smell. It is not just the smell of burning flesh, but a smell so terrible that it causes the cells to reject it from the very source.

Maggots with a strange sense of reason, born from the dark energy beyond the gate.

Those maggots eat up this world and kill half of the world’s humans.

After all, I can’t leave it like that.

The last wyvern seen falls to the ground.

As it falls, the body quickly disintegrates and something like a small jewel falls down.

Perhaps that is the magic stone that is the core of the monster.

When I heard the small sound of the magic stone finally falling to the floor and cracking, I threw up my hand.

Then a huge explosion occurred in the street. It was the magical bombs I had planted earlier.

In actual games, magic bombs are laid as replacements for large-scale mines in large-scale battles such as sieges or guild battles.

It was a powerful weapon that could camouflage its appearance with ordinary stones or wood, and its explosive power was so great that, if activated well, it could instantly render even a battalion-sized force incapable of combat.

Of course, in reality, it was a magic tool that was rarely actually activated because it was easily caught by simple skills such as magic detection or trap detection and was dismantled.

But now, in my case, I was dealing with monsters by remotely detonating magic bombs.

─Keee!!

─Kaaaa!

─Wooo!!

Every time a huge explosion occurred, the screams of countless monsters were heard.

One of the reasons I tried to intervene as late as possible was because of this magic bomb. This is because the explosive power was so great that citizens could be swept away.

This was because it had to be activated while the monsters were growing in power and the number of citizens fleeing the streets was decreasing to avoid backlash.

If I were not careful, I might be accused of being a crazy lizard that slaughters citizens under the pretext of killing monsters.

Thanks to the unscheduled girl, we intervened early and there are still many citizens left on the roadside.

Therefore, I had no choice but to select only the no-man’s land as much as possible and activate the magic bomb.

There may have been cases where unlucky citizens who had not yet been able to evacuate from the bomb area were unfairly caught up in it, but that was unavoidable.

It would be very unfortunate if a future S-class hunter were caught in my explosion and died.

If I had known about their information, I would have saved them as much as possible first, but it was impossible at the moment.

Not only did I not know where they were living on the day of the cataclysm, but I didn’t even know what they looked like.

The only thing on the cover of a romance novel is an illustration of the main characters Han Si-woo and Jang Su-ri holding hands.

Even if 1st generation S-class hunters actually passed in front of me, I wouldn’t be able to recognize them.

Therefore, if they were living in Seoul in the current time zone, I could only hope that they would survive this mess.

Under the direction of my hand, explosions occur and magic pours out.

[Execution beam.]

As the golden rays emanating from my hand swept across the road, the monsters burned and disappeared.

They must have been hunting just a few minutes ago.

With the advent of the absolute nation, they were suddenly placed in a position of being hunted.

How do they feel? Do monsters feel the same fear?

I reached into my subspace inventory and picked up an elixir.

Excessive wizard use, not focused on efficiency, but display magic for the sake of a cool and flashy external image.

This is because the magic power that was not used much in the game was being consumed like a hippopotamus and magic spells that did not cause much damage were being fired wildly, so the magic power was slowly becoming scarce.

Elixir. It was a precious elixir that restored both stamina and magical power, but many people are currently paying attention to it, so I don’t feel like drinking several regular potions to restore magical energy.

“Kuhm…”

I frowned for a moment at the unpleasant taste, as if I had drunk snot, threw the remaining bottle into my inventory and flew higher into the sky.

Currently about 250m above ground.

The panoramic view of Seoul is clearly visible.

Although Seoul was partially destroyed and not as it once was due to a fire, it was still beautiful.

Since it was winter, the sun was setting quickly, so I let out a small exclamation as I saw the street lights already turning on.

In fact, it seemed like the level of destruction in Seoul was not as great as I thought. At this rate, capital relocation might have never been done before in this world.

As I felt the elixir reacting in my body and being filled with magical energy, I stretched my hand above my head.

Ultra-large-scale concentrated precision bombing [Grand Flash Rain.]

This skill was a skill that the old characters of Grandis Saga sometimes used when playing in the beginner hunting ground.

The sphere of light launched high into the sky is divided into numerous pieces of light and rushes at the enemies.

As it covered a vast range, the individual attack power of the piece of light was very weak, and it was a skill that only monsters in beginner hunting grounds could barely achieve one kill.

Because it was a simple performance skill with very poor efficiency compared to the amount of magical power consumed, it was only used as a fun joke or a celebratory gun.

But the case now is different.

The monsters in 『Kiss Siege Sense』 are glass cannons with very poor defense.

This skill will work because they are low-level monsters that die in one hit even from magic missiles.

A huge sphere of light is forming in my hand stretched out above my head.

I saw a helicopter flying in the distance. Looking at the color, I thought it was a broadcast helicopter.

After the wyverns that filled the sky were wiped out, did you think about flying a helicopter?

It was a perfect opportunity for me to leave a deep impression on the people of this world.

Weee…

The light in my hand, which had grown as large as a wand, rose into the sky like a helium balloon that a child had missed.

From the broadcast helicopter, I saw the camera moving as the sphere of light I activated rose up.

okay. I’m taking good pictures as is. I’m going to show you something interesting from now on.

*

“Can I continue accessing it?”

said the helicopter pilot. Although he was saying that, his voice sounded quite frightened.

Well, that’s probably true. It seems true that that being is hostile to the monsters that have now appeared in Seoul, but there is no guarantee that it will not also be hostile to them.

The helicopter approaching now might also think of it as an enemy and attack.

“It will be okay. Please keep reaching out. You have to capture it properly on camera. This is a scoop. A scoop.”

That’s what he said, but the reporter’s voice was shaking a little, perhaps because he was feeling a little anxious. The cameraman who was also on board quietly cleared his throat and moved the camera as if trying to hide his worries.

Eventually, as the helicopter approached the distance that could be identified by the camera, its presence was seen.

“Aren’t you human? What the hell… What is that?”

It looked like a red lizard with horns, wearing a khaki coat and a scarf.

Considering that they attack monsters and wear human clothes, can they be considered to have some knowledge of human social structure or be friendly to humans?

Then they won’t attack us, right?

With that thought in mind, the cameraman tried to erase his anxiety and said the countdown.

“Camera standby. After 10 seconds, you will be connected to the current news. 10.9.8… 2.1 Cue!”

Eventually, the cue signal was given, and the reporter naturally proceeded.

As if he was a seasoned reporter, his voice, which was shaking with tension as the broadcast began, was nowhere to be seen.

“… Yes, I am currently passing over Seoul Olympic Bridge. The red being currently being captured on camera is shooting light and lightning from its hands and attacking monsters that have appeared in Seoul. With each attack, you eliminate monsters in one blow. Let’s take a look at that scene!”

The camera focused on the ground according to the reporter’s words. The camera captured the scene where a barrage of light and lightning fell on the heads of the monsters and the monsters screamed and died.

“Monsters that hitherto were impervious to bullets are literally being torn apart by those magical attacks. What is the identity of that being? For now, only monsters are targeted and they don’t seem to be hostile to humans… Ah!”

The reporter could not finish his sentence and placed his hand on his forehead to block out the intense light.

The red lizard was raising one hand above its head, creating an enormous ball of light.

“Aaaah! It’s incredibly bright. A huge ball of light… It looks like it would be tens of meters in diameter. What are you trying to do with that?”

As soon as the reporter opened his mouth and made a fuss, the huge sphere of light he created began to quickly rise into the sky. It was as if a huge advertising balloon with a broken string was rising into the sky.

The sphere soaring into the sky split into countless pieces of light along with a huge explosion sound.

It was like watching fireworks. Perhaps that majestic fragment will be stuck in the minds of everyone who gazes up at the sky and will never leave.

Split pieces of light covered the Seoul sky. The scattered fragments were so large that they covered the entire city of Seoul, raining light all over Seoul.

─Keee!

─Gebud!

─Couroooo!

As if someone was controlling it. Light droplets that seem to have an inductive nature only fall on monsters that avoid humans.

Each ray of light falls persistently on the monsters, as if they have an ego. As if mocking the surviving monsters, they constantly tear their bodies into pieces.

Countless Moss were pierced by fragments of light and evaporated formless in a black explosion.

The slasher tried to hit the light by swinging his long nails, but the beam of light pierced straight through his body. The slasher, who was split into two pieces in an instant, collapsed into a piece of meat without even being able to scream.

Brute raises both huge arms to block the rushing pieces of light. When he blocked the third shot, both of his hands were shattered into six pieces, and the ensuing halo of light created large wind holes in his body.

The camera captured the monsters collapsing and dying with a huge death blow without any filtering.

“Ah…this…this…”

Even the reporter forgot his words for a moment. It must be a truly incredible sight that is difficult to describe in words.

“degree… It’s an unbelievable sight. A huge ball of light exploded and split into tens of thousands of branches, raining down all over Seoul. The attack… The monsters are being annihilated once and for all. Ah…haha…I can’t believe my eyes. But this is definitely reality! Doors that look like portals to the sky are also being destroyed!!”

Not only those in Seoul who saw the scene in person, but also those who watched it on television or other video media must have been dumbfounded.

It was a sight that had no sense of reality.

The camera again focused on the lizard in the sky. The lizard was looking around with its head, looking for something. It seemed like they were probably looking for surviving monsters.

“It’s…a scary thing. What exactly is that being? Why help humans? Is that being really…”

The reporter’s voice trembled. Although it was something that an experienced reporter should not do, everyone who heard that voice through the airwaves would have understood how he felt.

What would happen if such a being were to truly be hostile to humanity?

It is a being that eliminated with one blow the monsters that bullets could not penetrate, and that the modern weapon system, the essence of the tower of human knowledge, did not even work properly.

Plus something I used last time. The bombardment of light that was like angel wings, showing a majestic scene that cannot even be described.

What if a being with the ability to completely erase a country’s capital is not on the side of humanity?

Everyone who saw the scene thought the same thing and swallowed their saliva with their dry throats.
