Ch.113113. The Incheon Airport Occupation Battle

The time had come. As soon as class ended, I boldly headed to Incheon.

Since my escorts had already been diverted elsewhere, I could move freely.

As long as no one discovered I went to Incheon, I’d be fine.

So once again, I made my way to Incheon.

I recalled the sequence of events from the Incheon Airport occupation in my mind.

First, the Monstrosity Cult would infiltrate 30 minutes before the scheduled time, then a Monster Break would occur, causing chaos both inside and out.

On top of that, the cult would take hostages, preventing any reckless attacks and causing massive damage.

What I need to do is—no. I need to stop the Monstrosity Cult before they infiltrate 30 minutes prior. Even if that fails, I must stop them from within.

Kaiju Points: 15

DNA Points: 22,700

M Points: 6,000

If necessary, I could purchase an evolved form. Of course, even the adult form leaves me immobile for a day, so I’m scared to think what might happen with an evolved form.

But what matters is that I’ve secured the ability to transform into an evolved form at any time.

Having reliable backup is crucial.

What should I choose today? Dinosaurs are the most stable option if the ceiling is high enough.

Incheon Airport is certainly spacious and tall enough, especially considering the areas where the subway comes up.

Otherwise, smaller insects would work fine too.

Let me think about what kind of monsters these cultists are. The news only showed parts of it, but honestly, there were several airborne ones and many on the ground.

The question is: “What kind of kaiju” did they transform into? If I knew that, it would be easier to counter them.

It’s unclear. The news didn’t show the scene in detail.

Wait, if we’re inside Incheon Airport, wouldn’t the enemies also be somewhat confined by space?

In that case, should I go with a dinosaur? Or a bird, insect? A wolf would work too.

The subway to Incheon Airport takes a long time. Anxiously fidgeting with my phone, I examined the map of Incheon Airport from various angles.

‘Surely the place where they hold hostages and confront the Jaegers is…’

Remember. Where did the enemy hold hostages according to the news back then?

And where did they first enter from? Terminal 2.

Then it would be better to block them in advance. There were two confrontation points back then.

The departure area and inside the terminal. The hostages were naturally hidden inside.

[The enemies herded the hostages to the 5th floor observatory to prevent them from escaping. There’s also the 1st floor and basement, but the subway runs through there, which could provide an opportunity for counterattack, so they chose the observatory where everything is visible, which was a good decision.]

Right, the observatory! They deliberately herded people into the Terminal 2 5th floor observatory.

Even if they tried to escape, they’d have to descend five floors, giving the monsters plenty of time to intercept them.

If I were to rescue the hostages…

“I can’t speak.”

When I’m in kaiju form, I can’t speak human language.

Plus, they wouldn’t follow my instructions. So there’s only one answer.

Eliminate the enemies in advance.

I took the airport subway up. I’ll look around Terminal 2 and check out the observatory.

I slowly made my way to Terminal 2 through crowds of people. Immediately, I saw decorative elements with Korean writing on the ceiling and explored Incheon Airport’s Terminal 2.

Now that I’m here in person, it’s even more spacious than I thought. This is enough room for a dinosaur to jump around. But for flying creatures, it’s an awkward size.

There are things to get caught on everywhere, and with the ceiling closed off, it would be difficult to escape in an emergency.

‘Should I give up on flying for now?’

Looking around everywhere, I headed toward the airport’s observatory. The basement level connects to the subway with many escape routes.

From the 5th floor observatory, I could see the airplanes. They’re going to herd hostages here? It might be better to deal with the monsters at the exits.

I looked around one by one as I came down and checked the time. I have about an hour to spare. Now I need to find the Monstrosity Cult.

I don’t know any of their faces, but suspicious people will look suspicious.

My mission is to identify those suspicious individuals. They might already be here.

As I was scanning with eagle eyes, suddenly someone touched my shoulder.

“Eek?”

Startled, I turned around to see the face of someone in their 30s. Who is this?

Feeling uneasy, I stepped back, and only then did I notice the uniform.

It was an employee.

“Yes?”

“Do you need anything? You’ve been looking around suspiciously.”

“Ah…? What? No. It’s my first time here, so I’m just curious. Haha.”

Damn it. I was the suspicious one? Embarrassed, I quickly left the passenger terminal.

Now they’re going to infiltrate?

I was fiddling with my main card as I was about to leave the terminal.

“Ugh!”

I suddenly bumped into someone. Who is it this time?

As I looked up, I froze. A man with a ponytail and a neat appearance. But beneath that exterior lies cruelty.

Shi Woojin.

I just bumped into the human monster I met before.

Why is he here…? Right. Of course a human monster would be here. Is he here to scout? The White Dragon Guild did show up during the occupation.

Though I don’t think he was there on the actual day.

“Oh? Hey. Sorry. I didn’t see you.”

Woojin glanced at me and stepped back. I avoided his gaze and retreated.

“Yes.”

“…Hey, wait.”

His voice was much lower than before.

“W-what is it?”

“You look young, but why are you avoiding my gaze? Are you hiding something?”

At that moment, the wind swept by, and Woojin’s terrifying face was right in front of me.

His emotionless eyes seemed to examine everything about me.

Overwhelmed by his presence, I couldn’t say a word.

I could be in serious trouble like last time. I forced my frozen brain to work.

“Hahaha. A-aren’t you Shi Woojin?”

“…”

“My sister is a fan! Could I ask for your autograph? It’s really amazing meeting someone famous.”

“Oh, so your sister’s my fan?”

“I’m not, though.”

I said firmly. Woojin laughed loudly.

“I don’t like male fans either. Want me to take a picture with you?”

“That would be great. My sister will be so thankful.”

“Sure, next time don’t be shy about asking. Oh, I have time until my meeting, so I can hang out with you.”

What is this crazy guy doing? Why is he dragging me along?

“I should help your sister a lot. Come on! We have plenty of time before our ‘work’.”

“No! I have an appointment too. Thanks, but I’ll pass.”

“Really? That’s too bad. Well, take care then.”

Woojin backed off immediately.

Why are you making my heart race like that? Anyway, after parting with Woojin, I sat quietly and observed people absentmindedly.

Just wait until I catch someone suspicious.

As I was watching, at some point, a group of about ten people was coming up.

There’s nothing strange about group visitors at an airport, but the atmosphere they gave off was peculiar.

They were talking among themselves while looking around cautiously.

It caught my attention.

Ten people moving carefully while talking as if they know each other?

Could it be them?

Suspicious individuals were moving toward Terminal 2.

Five minutes later, another ten people came up and also moved inside.

Are they gathering separately?

I had no choice but to go to Terminal 2 as well.

I still don’t know if they’re monsters, but they’re suspicious. I need to be careful, as I could end up killing innocent people.

I deliberately went up to the observatory area, and gradually more than 40 people were gathering here.

“…”

30 minutes left. Fate will be decided here.

They scatter. Throughout Terminal 2.

Damn it. I’m going crazy without definitive evidence. Plus, is this new group that just arrived also part of them? They look like students.

A group of office workers? Suddenly I’m confused.

At this rate, it could turn into indiscriminate slaughter. So how can I distinguish them from civilians without causing harm?

Think. Find a way to minimize casualties.

At this point, while scanning the observatory, I hid in the bathroom.

Now all I can do is wait for time to pass.

*

It was a peaceful day at the airport. People were waiting for various purposes.

Some meeting returning loved ones, others going to meet family members, travelers, and more—diverse individuals occupying a part of this bustling space.

In this tranquil airport, nearly 50 people began acting contrary to the everyday atmosphere.

Some blocked entrances, others moved toward the airplanes.

This anomaly caught people’s attention just after 8 o’clock.

Airport staff tried to stop those suddenly attempting to enter the airfield.

“Trash!”

But their resistance crumbled with a single gesture.

Severed heads rolled on the floor, and at that moment, the airport went into emergency mode.

Airport Jaegers rushed toward them.

Their movements were full of determination to protect this place, but they too fell, their heads severed just the same.

The Monstrosity Cult.

A man who generated mantis-like blades from his hands shouted:

“From now on, the Monstrosity Cult is taking over this place!”

The infiltrated monsters began transforming, turning the place into hell.

Airport security and the Jaegers who happened to be there fought back, but they were like autumn leaves in the wind against the overwhelming numbers and power of the monsters.

The security Jaegers and reinforcement Jaegers numbered about 30, while the cult had nearly 50 members. Moreover, they had an easy occupation method if they abandoned human morality.

“Hostages! Security, don’t move!”

That’s right. They grabbed one or two confused people as hostages.

The security and reinforcement Jaegers gritted their teeth. But they had something to rely on.

This was just the emergency response; about 20 more security personnel were on their way.

That would even the numbers.

And considering the Jaegers coming from outside as reinforcements, they could handle this.

They were just waiting for that, but unfortunately, monsters weren’t the only ones arriving.

[Alert! Alert! SS-class detected!]

An SS-class Monster Break was about to unfold at Incheon Airport.

This was a disaster.

While security was in disarray, the monsters demanded that journalists be brought in.

“Gather all hostages in one place. If you try anything, we’ll kill them all.”

“What’s your purpose?”

“We monsters can no longer bear to see humanity reach its evolutionary limit. A new evolution is needed. Kaiju are new life forms, superior life forms. You don’t understand what kaiju truly are! They are beings greater and stronger than us.”

Now kaiju began pouring into every corner of Incheon Airport.

Including an SS-class kaiju, but among them, two stood out.

One was a massive creature with an elephant’s body covered in armor and cannons, and the other was a dinosaur-type with a thin body and long claws.

One was the SS-class Tyrant Elephant. The other was Hunter Dino, a high-ranking S-class. These two creatures were proudly rampaging through the airport.

The enemy’s occupation spanned both outside and inside. And the new species, Devil, began to rise into the sky.

From now on, it would deal with any planes taking off or approaching.

“Our demands are the dissolution of all guilds and unconditional submission. Furthermore, the leaders of the three major guilds and other influential guilds must come here without their summoning weapons. Those are our conditions. If these conditions are violated, we will launch and crash an airplane every hour. Into the city center, no less!”

An absurd demand. But if not met, a massive number of people would be slaughtered.

The hostages were gathered at the observatory, prevented from escaping, and darkness loomed over Incheon Airport.

The S-class Hunter Dino, a velociraptor-type kaiju boasting mechanical claws, was drooling in front of the hostages.

It was cruel and fast. The captives were in terror while the Monstrosity Cult expressed satisfaction at achieving their goal.

Suddenly, the place began to shake.

As the vibration grew closer, the wall collapsed.

Before anyone could say anything, wolf claws began ruthlessly slaughtering the monsters.
