7. Falcon Gang (5)

The square of the shantytown turned into a hell of chaos in an instant.

” Gyaaaah! ” People running away screaming.

” Cough… ” People who are eaten by monsters because it’s too late to run away.

” Hee… Heehee. Heeheet ” People who were out of their minds at the tragedy before their eyes and collapsed laughing.

Such a sight unfolded before my eyes.

The situation got so bad that I couldn’t believe it happened in the blink of an eye.

People who had become monsters and showed symptoms of infection that no one knew where they started were popping out from all over the alleys.

The people who were convulsing in the square quickly turned into those monsters.

This place, where various emotions such as madness, confusion, and fear coexist, is definitely hell.

But before I was consumed by those emotions, I regained my composure through Gahwo, and no matter how many times I experienced it,

This time, the uneasy feeling of not being myself was something to be thankful for.

” Sir! First, gather everyone in one place! ”

” What? What are you trying to do? ”

” We will create a space to protect people! ”

So I took ‘Kurtana’ out of its scabbard, stuck it into the ground, and infused it with as much divine power as I could.

A large dome of flames was created to allow those who were not yet infected to enter.

So, under the guidance of the old man and a few other people, the few survivors entered the area.

” Sir, I’ll go out and clean up these guys first. ”

” Can you do it alone? ”

Mr. Doosik looked down at me with a calm expression and asked if I was really okay.

” It’s okay~ I used to be an Inquisitor, so I can just pass by monsters like that and turn them to dust~ ”

” Hoo, okay, I see. Then I’ll be here and do a good job of collecting people. Did you say ‘territory’? How long will this go on? ”

” It should take at least half a day. I’ve blown quite a bit. ”

” Okay. Then take care and come back. ”

” Yes! ”

So, when I came out of the realm of ‘Kurtana’ and looked around, I saw that there were already people who had been eaten.

Just like those monsters, it started moving slowly with a ‘whoosh whoosh’ sound.

” Phew, shall we go then? ”

*****

As I had thought, these monsters were incredibly weak to ‘divine power’.

‘ Well, that’s understandable since just approaching the area turned you into ash, right? ‘

So soon, this hell of an abyss is just a reminder to me that I am a ‘hunter’, contrary to what they thought.

Quickly launch several flame swords with ‘Holy Fire’ and shoot them at the guys while controlling them so that they don’t explode.

He grabbed ‘Durandal’ and quickly moved to cut off the guys’ necks while simultaneously wrapping the blade with divine power and turning them to ash.

I cut off the necks of the guys in front of me from top to bottom and ran away.

He then cuts the guy behind him down again from the bottom up.

He used the upward rotational force to spin his body around and cut down several of the animals around him.

At the same time, he would spin his flame sword around and grind down those who were approaching from behind or running from afar.

By the time I circled the area clockwise around it, there were no more monsters around me.

Just riding on the divine power, white ash was blowing in the wind here and there.

Just as I thought I had almost caught it, something large approached from a distance with a ‘thud, thud’ sound.

A twisted, fleshy giant that looked like a fusion of things that hadn’t been properly dealt with yet was approaching.

I thought I had made it to Buddha, but it seems like there were still monsters left.

The giant was truly made up of the flesh of many corpses.

From below, the legs were divided into hundreds and woven together.

In the gaps between them, blood flows from the eyes, nose, and mouth.

The screaming faces were sticking out ‘packed and packed’.

‘ This is really weird… ‘

If it weren’t for Gaho, I would have panicked just by looking at that sight and trembled, unable to fight properly.

A loud roaring sound resonates throughout the body, like a beast roaring.

The giant’s arm, which had been stretched backwards, was now clenching a fist and coming towards me, and the gaps in his fist were filled with eyes looking at me.

But then I felt two people’s presence and I laughed and shouted.

” Ha, you guys are really late to come!! ”

*****

Hyunseok and Yeonseo continued to sleep even after the morning sun rose due to the accumulated fatigue in their bodies.

I suddenly woke up to a large wave of murderous intent and screams, and I left the room and started looking for Charlotte.

Then, I saw people running away from the shantytown outside the settlement where the sound came from.

The two headed there, defeating the monsters and ensuring that the people could evacuate safely.

Where the two arrived, there was white ash scattered here and there.

The moment I looked around, I saw a ‘thump, thump’ sound and saw a giant with his arms stretched out behind him and shouting at Charlotte.

Yeonseo used her powers to freeze the monster’s legs, slowing its movements, while Hyunseok cut off the monster’s arm and approached Charlotte.

” Are you okay? Are you hurt? ”

Hyunseok asked me with a worried expression.

” It’s okay! This is nothing! I’m not even tired, and more than that, it’s starting to move again. ”

Then, Hyunseok looked back as if he had seen something he shouldn’t have seen.

” Oh my! Looking at it again, that thing is really gross… ”

” What should I do now? Even if I freeze it, it seems to move quickly. ”

Yeonseo said this while hugging me and touching my cheek.

” Put this… down… and talk… about it… ”

” Oh my, sorry. I missed you when I woke up. ”

” Phew, I guess so.

Ahem, for now, don’t worry about that monster, it’s my weakness, just make sure it can’t escape. ”

” Really? Got it. ”

Yeonseo immediately erected a large ice wall around her, opened her magic book, and took out a giant dinosaur-shaped ice sculpture.

” Summon, Zenoros. ”

The summoned dinosaur rushed straight towards the giant, and Hyunseok looked at me.

” Are you going to take out that giant all at once? ”

” Well, I guess that’s what we should do? Well, we could just burn it with ‘Holy Fire’, but it’s too big, so that’s a problem. ”

” Hmm, then if I create a vortex that surrounds that giant, can I put your flame in it, Charlotte? ”

” Huh? What?! Is that possible? ”

He smiled faintly at my question.

” I can do that much for you. ”

My face flushed for a moment at the unexpected words, but I pushed that heat aside and thought.

I know it’s pretty powerful, but it can create a huge vortex that can surround that giant.

‘Hyunseok, that guy is pretty good, isn’t he?’

” Okay. Let’s do it now! ”

So, the guy’s body was tied up by Yeonseo’s dinosaur ‘Xenoros’ and my sword of flame.

Taking advantage of the gap, Hyunseok created a huge whirlpool that swallowed the giant.

So now there’s only one thing left!

” Haha! Try blocking this too! ”

With Yeonseo’s help, I climbed up the icy floor, fell from a high place, and fell into a giant whirlpool.

The ‘Sunghwa’, which looked like a giant sun, was installed as is.

It ends with a white and red whirlwind engulfing the giant within a giant ice wall.

I burned the giant made of bloody flesh.

*****

After defeating the giant, I looked around a bit more, but there were no more monsters.

Run to where Mr. Dosik is, take people out of the area, and bring them into the settlement, not the shantytown.

I headed straight to the watchtower where Mr. Hancheol was.

” Ha, what the heck happened when I went to find someone… ”

” But isn’t it fortunate that the three here took care of it quickly? ”

Mr. Hancheol and Mr. Chunsik thanked us and explained the current situation.

” Thanks for taking care of those monsters.

But now, according to urgent reports from the guards, a group of gangsters are heading towards this place. ”

” So you were planning to use the request as bait and then come in yourself? ”

” Yeah, I’m sure they were planning to sneak in and take over our settlement after our power was depleted. ”

” Wasn’t the old man’s daughter there? ”

” The guards said that only a group of gangsters were approaching. ”

After listening to Mr. Hancheol, I thought deeply.

‘ That means we expected that our power would be diverted to ‘Paris Park’.

But we are gathered here because of what just happened.

Hyunseok and Yeonseo are still in good condition, so it might be worth a try?’

After reaching that conclusion, I opened my mouth while looking at Mr. Hancheol, Mr. Dusik, Yeonseo, and Hyeonseok in turns.

” I have an idea. ”

*****

Han Jin-oh was quite embarrassed, not knowing where he was going wrong.

” What the heck? Why are these guys still here?! ”

Here were the guys who should have been fighting their own gang of monsters that had clearly become the ‘Park of Paris’ by now.

” Damn it! I feel so lucky..! ”

But since it was already spilled milk, he had no choice but to order his subordinates to take the pills they had taken out of the glass bottle they had been holding in their bosom.

Except for a few people who followed him from the beginning.

‘Anyway, except for those few people, the rest are all guys with the lowest abilities, so we can fill them up again right away! This is the world!’

At his words, several of those who had been following him quickly snuck behind him.

The people who took the pills without even knowing English and ate them began to run wild, rejoicing at their increased strength.

Of course, it didn’t take long for him to be immediately overcome by pain and fear and turn into a monster.

*****

How much time had passed? Ara just stared at the pill in front of her and swallowed.

Apparently, if you eat that, it will quickly break the chains that seal this ability, Han Jin-oh.

I might be able to chase after the guys who killed Ling.

However, Ara is worried about whether the pill he gave her is the right one or not.

Will you give up everything and gain power for revenge?

But, if we think about what he has done, it is clear that simply trusting Han Jin-oh is a trap.

Time passed while I continued to think about these two thoughts.

In the end, I realized that I couldn’t stop Han Jin-oh if I stayed still and became a monster.

The moment you put your mouth towards the pill that is placed there!

Outside, the gang screamed as if they had been cut by something sharp, and the iron door burst open in front of them with a ‘bang’.

” Kehek, gulp, gulp. ”

Ara coughs and can’t open her eyes properly due to dust from the aftermath of the explosion.

The girl with the orange hair that looks like it’s on fire

Charlotte was in front of him.

” You’re still alive? That’s lucky. ”
