Prophecy (5) ― Lotte Mart, 1st basement level, Lotte Department Store, Incheon

As expected, this fucking thing was a variant.

He threw away the blood-dripping sack and began flying through the air.

Sasasak-

White mutants, like a swarm of ants, were moving around the ceiling, searching for my sound.

Probably, if you had been fooled by the tricks of the ‘Jangsan Zombie’, there was a high probability that you would have allowed that outrageous assault several times.

‘Sound, those bastards are even more sensitive to sound.’

Let’s use that sound in reverse.

I continued my flight towards the toy section, avoiding the white afterimage that passed behind me.

The light from the flashlight illuminated the dusty children’s toys.

Sasasak-

The sound of ceiling tiles scraping reached right above.

The toy swords revolved around me in tune with the sound.

In response to my hand gesture, one of the toy swords fell to the floor.

“Pushion― A warrior of justice!”

At the same time as the childish electronic sound, colorful colors illuminated the sword body.

Kwaang-

The bright electronic sound was simply drowned out by the loud impact sound.

A lesson from white mutants who turn toy swords into powder.

Several mutants were huddled together in one crater, as if they had gotten used to the long period of evasion.

“Keee!”

Is it simply an expression of anger?

Or is it just letting your colleagues know that you were fooled by the bait?

It didn’t matter what it was.

The telekinesis struck the white mutants like a hammer.

Thump- thump- thump-

All the toys that could make noises floated in the air as they continued to shoot down.

Kiiing―

Mana accelerated even faster and amplified the imitation adult body.

All the toys that could be controlled with extreme telekinesis were shot down into the ground.

Pabababak-

Toys hitting the ground began to emit childish sound effects all at once.

“Pushion― A warrior of justice!”

Along with the sound effects spreading out, loud noises that shook the floor began to sound one after another.

Kwaaang-

All the mutants on the ceiling bombed the floor of Lotte Mart.

This time, my telekinetic hammer hits the dense craters on the floor.

Kwaang-

The floor screamed with a cloud of dust rising.

In the end, the floor collapsed as if unable to withstand the successive shocks.

Bodies fell as if they were being sucked through the gaping hole and crashed into cars parked on the second basement floor.

Bang~ Bang~

A message appeared at the same time as the anti-theft sounds of cars that detected an impact were heard.

[You have defeated the mutant.]

[Acquire 500 faith.]

[You have acquired knowledge about variants!]

[Variant ‘Sound Stalker’]

[‘Sound Stalkers’ have abnormally developed hearing. They mainly live on the ceilings of dark buildings and attack unsuspecting opponents by striking them down.]

… …

I left behind the message about killing mutants that kept repeating itself and stared at the large hole that had been opened.

The incontinence extending from the hole was slowly expanding in scope.

‘It will collapse soon.’

Although the entire building would not be affected, Lotte Mart itself was likely to collapse.

“Fuck, no! My food!”

I had to get everything I needed before it collapsed.

I grabbed all the canned goods I had recklessly thrown away earlier, and put all the wines in the wine corner into my inventory.

As I was putting everything that seemed to have a long expiration date in my inventory without even looking at it, I remembered the purpose of my coming here.

“White disaster.”

Certainly, ‘Sound Stalker’ was much closer to a disaster than Rabbit Baby’s Semen Doll.

The destructive power of destroying the floor in half when hit by an annoyingly large number of bats.

Additionally, the collaboration with ‘Jangsan Zombie’ couldn’t help but be surprising.

‘But in the end, I won.’

I couldn’t hide my strangely uneasy feeling.

Even though I could overlook it once because I was careless, it definitely didn’t work the second time.

It is true that the Sound Stalker group was a threat, but it was never enough to threaten the sanctuary.

“Fuck, there’s something more?”

I stopped recklessly filling my inventory and listened once again.

Sasasasak-

The sound of a sound stalker moving and scratching the ceiling.

The Sound Stalkers, having lost most of their forces, were retreating.

‘No, wait a minute, you’re retreating?’

Now, I estimated how much mana I had left, and caught up with the white afterimage that was leaving this place at high speed.

As if it had noticed that I was following it, I lightly crushed its hind legs with my telekinesis as it increased its speed.

“Keee!”

Nevertheless, instead of fighting back, the guy screamed in pain and ran away to the food court.

A flash light illuminated the place where the guy ran away to hide.

‘Lotte Cinema’

I saw the sound stalkers running away from me inside the movie theater right next to the food court.

“Stop! You bastards!”

Despite intentionally making noise, they desperately started running inside the movie theater.

“Kkieeeek! Meee!”

I slowly followed the guy whose leg was broken by me and was alert to my surroundings.

The guy who was going deeper and deeper was sucked into a space.

A flash light quickly illuminated the place.

‘Pipe 2?’

The sound stalkers entered both screening rooms.

Strangely, the longer I looked at that space, the worse I felt.

“Over there.”

My intuition screamed.

That’s the place the saint’s prophecy spoke of.

There was not enough time or mana to delay further.

As soon as I entered the second screening room, I stepped on something squishy on the floor.

I hurriedly lifted myself up using telekinesis and shined the flashlight.

The large piece of flesh was throbbing and pulsing like a heart.

“Keee!”

The Sound Stalkers who had been running away growled as if they were preventing me from entering.

He clings to the floor and tries to intimidate me somehow.

Sound Stalker, who couldn’t take advantage of his high-level position and surprise attack, was an extremely easy opponent for me right now.

Puddukduk-

Ignoring the people who were instantly crushed to death, the flashlight illuminated the entire area like a mirror ball again.

“… Fuck.”

A low curse word came straight out of my mouth.

The flesh I stepped on earlier stretched out like a vein and was encroaching on the theater.

Eggs of white insects crowded together at the very front of the bright red theater.

no.

“Sound Stalker’s Egg.”

Fuck, there were so many.

I could see baby Sound Stalkers swimming around inside the transparent eggs.

What if these bastards had all woken up and taken over Lotte Mart?

The outcome could have been different from the previous battle.

What would have happened if those who had been increasing their numbers on their own had gradually expanded their scope beyond Lotte Mart?

Of course, I was confident that I would somehow overcome it, but the resulting extended search time could have had a significant impact on the sanctuary and my religion.

“Fuck, did they have sex on their own? Or are you a hermaphrodite like an earthworm?”

If there are eggs, there must be a female laying them.

Killing the cub was the main priority.

Kwasik – Kwasik –

It crushed all the eggs it could see and searched for the queen who laid them.

“Come out when I have nice words for you, bitch! I killed all of you males!”

While I was breaking the eggs for a while, I caught a clear shape between the broken eggs.

“찾았다, 이 개새끼야!”

Like a fisherman who caught a big catch, he was pulled upward in an instant and could not close his mouth.

“… Fuck, you’re a human.”

No, to be exact, it was something that was a person.

Small blood vessels connected to the eggs were visible on the skinny body, as if it had become a mummy.

Every time the veins beat, my already skinny body became thinner and thinner.

Humans were depriving eggs of nutrients.

The increasingly shriveled corpse could only be identified as having a long head, but no outline was visible.

female.

Suddenly, I remembered the words that ‘Jangsan Zombie’ had repeatedly said.

A vain scream that zombies have dragged in.

When I thought about it, Jangsan Zombie was a variant that learned by repeating what someone said.

So, there was someone who kept saying those things.

The man claimed that he had been dragged by zombies.

What goal did these idiots with nothing but appetite achieve with food right in front of them?

“… What genre of apocalypse is this?”

Kwazijic –

I thought as I removed all the blood vessels and crushed all the eggs I could see.

If he became this strong, the zombie would remain a complete supporting character to me.

It was clearly the zombies that fired the signal of destruction, but the subsequent battle for leadership will clearly be a battle between the awakened and the awakened.

“… White disaster.”

Even if I killed it or killed it, the eggs that were grotesquely attached to the wall seemed to be speaking to me.

This world will completely collapse into a zombie apocalypse.
