[This is [Heenari]. A group of monsters are heading towards you. What’s going on? Is something wrong?]

Heenari, who saw the monsters’ unusual movements from the other side, whispered.

but….

When everyone else was stuck, the galaxy stepped forward.

“It’s okay. I’ll do it.”

The girl took out the [wildflower] that she had on her waist. Instead of a scabbard, a single flower that had been tightly wrapped in bandages finally revealed itself. Even in the midst of the tense situation, several people opened their mouths as if they were entranced by its beautiful appearance. Song Chan-seop was also briefly amazed for a moment.

“I saw it briefly in the viewing earlier, but it’s surprising. Is it a top-quality [unique grade weapon]?”

“No. … It’s hard to explain, and I have to hurry, so I’ll talk later! Just step back for now!”

The galaxy swung its sword at the steel frame.

When I felt a strange sensation, almost like a rebound, on my palm, I held it down and pulled.

A [magic iron] thick enough to hold an adult was cut off like a plank and fell to the ground. The eyes of the members watching grew wide.

“Awesome!”

“Okay! I can do it! Leave this side to the little girl, and let’s quickly destroy the other side!”

“No, that’s not necessary.”

Kuung!

Song Chan-seop, who had moved without realizing it, began to pound the structure on the other side with his spiked combat gloves. Kwung, thump! The concrete shattered and the steel frame that had been revealed was crushed and fell apart like a crushed can.

“You guys, hurry and escape. [Hanibaram] and I will take care of destroying the pillars. Monsters are coming, time is of the essence. Go.”

“Fuck, I’m sorry!”

“Galaxy, you have to be careful!”

“Cheer up! Leave the edge at the far end alone! If possible, it would be better to destroy the structures closer to the gym in big chunks!”

“Yes!”

“Get it. … Get out now! They’re coming!”

As the party evacuated, the empty space was filled with the rumbling of monsters approaching.

Eunha crouched low on the ground, like a beast hunting its prey. Her elastic thighs contracted and puffed out.

Your hunched back and tense calf muscles are primed to explode at any moment.

thud!

When I looked around at the sound of the bell again, I saw that Song Chan-seop was destroying the structure on the left instead of the galaxy on the right. Although his speed was somewhat slower than that of the galaxy, he was destroying it steadily.

Song Chan-seop nodded while looking at the girl.

Galaxy also nodded at him.

“I’ll go!”

“Ugh!”

Add [Leap] to the rush skill [Onslaught] and mix in your own style.

Paaang! The place where the galaxy was exploded, and the girl who flew up with it turned into the wind.

As the wind blows, the pillars brushing past, bend, bend, bend. Bend!

Song Chan-seop, who had already destroyed more than half of the steel frame on his side, headed toward the remaining half of the structure.

He turns his body like a baseball player throwing a full-out pitch and extends his fist powerfully.

[Lion’s Head Smash]. The mana condensed inside exploded out at once. The fist moved forward like a bullet with explosive charge, crushing everything that stood in its way.

The two of them reached the end of the street in an instant, passed each other, and quickly exited the building after removing the last structure between them.

“Okay, come out! Come out! Come out! Start!”

“Push at once! One, two, three-!”

“Please, please!”

On the other side, the remaining four Awakened, including the already escaped Universe, were preparing. They raised their voices and rushed into the building, pushing towards the gym.

Kick, hit, and shoulder-bash.

Even for the most awakened people, it was absurd to think that four people could topple a building.

But if this helps even a little bit with the pillars that were supporting it disappearing and it’s starting to tilt, it’s going to fall down completely!

“Whaaa!”

“Ugh-!”

“Please!!”

Woo-joo, who had been pushing the building with his whole body, pulled out his dagger with a desperate scream and stabbed it into the building.

I didn’t know why. I don’t know, but I felt certain that it had to be that way.

Light streamed from the Milky Way’s stars attached to the dagger, and [Fruit] accepted its master’s will and created a 5% miracle.

[Enforcing the will]

A huge impact shook the building starting from where the dagger was stuck.

-Kwaaak! Heeek! Eek!

The monsters who came close to eliminating the humans were too late.

The footsteps of those who stretched out to protect their nest, the vibrations from their footsteps, actually served as a side dish when the building collapsed.

The building begins to tilt and fall over.

A huge concrete sledgehammer made of [Magic Iron] is brought down towards the Halla Gymnasium occupied by monsters, towards the amorphous monsters that dared to invade this world.

Some monsters capable of ranged attacks tried to destroy at least some of the falling rocks.

[Now, Hong Yoon-ha! Shoot!]

“Taste carefully the reason why I am called [Heenari]!”

It wasn’t just the buildings that were being attacked by monsters.

[Heenari] and the female Awakened one, who were chanting the spell on the opposite side of [Suicide Squad], also activated their skills and stepped forward to punish the monsters.

[Mago’s Lightning Strike]!

[Holy Explosion]!

A huge light and white explosion brightly illuminated the dark night sky as if the sun had risen again, and the building and the monsters flew towards them.

Even the dust turned red and swept through the surroundings. The only explosion that was not covered in that unclean color was the one that was originally red.

-.-.-

My eardrums, tortured by the enormous shaking and harsh noise, vibrated and rang.

In that massive collapse, miraculously, none of the members of the [Suicide Squad] were injured or killed.

Fallout and dust scattered like fog, filling the surroundings with a red glow. My ribs trembled as the excessive tension that had been clenching them was released.

At the moment of life or death, the pupils that had dilated extremely due to the crazy secretion of adrenaline gradually narrowed again.

Each of them had a blank expression on their face, staring at the results of their own work.

“Did you do it…?”

A bewildered voice mingled among them as they offered a helping hand to the fallen and supported the exhausted.

First confusion, then disbelief, then surprise,

Next comes confidence, and at the end, joy.

After a brief but colorful change of expression, [Suicide Squad] cheered at the sight of the gymnasium revealed after the dust cleared.

“We did it! We did it!”

“Hahahaha! You crazy kids! I love you!”

Who could blame them for crying and laughing while embracing each other, covered in red dust and a mess?

Because of her small body, Eun-ha was shaking like a long cat while looking like a lion cub from an animation, and even Song Chan-seop, who no one could touch because of his usual image, was hit on the back and had several handprints on his military uniform.

In a way, Woo-joo, who is a hidden hero, has his long, wavy hair messed up by rough hands, leaving it disheveled.

[Heenari] and the exhausted female awakened ones who joined next were also very excited, high-fiving and shaking their shoulders, but no one could stop their joy.

That’s understandable, as the gym was completely in ruins, crushed and crushed by the building.

The monsters were ordered by the dragon to stand their ground no matter what. That order, which was superior to their survival instincts, became so powerful that none of the monsters thought of escaping.

Rather, they tried to block it by sticking to the building, which caused more damage.

There were some survivors, but they were nearly incapable of fighting. A few patrolling ones were fine, but they were overwhelmingly few in number compared to the thousands who were buried alive.

The operation was a great success, and the eight men achieved a record-breaking result. Their determination to face death led to a great victory for the [Suicide Squad].

“Thank you all for your support. I, [Neulhaerang] Song Chanseop, will remember you all.”

Song Chan-seop saluted the [Suicide Squad] without taking off his beret. Then, with a rare smile on his face, he approached each of them and shook their hands.

“I, Shin Il-ho! I will never forget what happened today!”

“Self-introduction? I can’t leave it out. [Soi Bau] My name is Do Hyeon-hak! If you have any business passing by Hwagye Station, call me, you guys! Let’s have a drink with hyung!”

“This is Yong Gil-seop from Bupyeong-gu, Incheon. Thank you all!”

“CKS Christian Broadcasting reporter, [Silver Wings] Kim Si-hyeon. Everyone, thank you for your hard work.”

As the strength of our hands grew, the names of our unforgettable comrades were engraved in our hearts. The universe and the galaxy smiled and reached out their hands.

“[Honeybaram] It’s our galaxy.”

“Our Universe, my sister. You all worked really hard.”

When [Neulhaerang] finally reached [Heenari], Hong Yoonha rejected Song Chanseop’s outstretched hand and hugged him.

The fairy was held in the bear’s arms. In that passionate embrace, a whistling sound blew.

“What, was it true that there was a scandal article about [Neulhaerang] and [Heenari]?”

“It’s hot, it’s hot.”

“Can I sing a congratulatory song at your wedding? I’m also in charge of the choir.”

Song Chan-seop, who hurriedly pulled Hong Yoon-ha out of his arms at the innocent jeers, hardened his face.

The smile that had been on his face earlier was nowhere to be found, and only a dull scar remained.

“Please refrain from making rash assumptions. [Heenari] must have hugged me because she was emotional. She is a high-level talent. She is too much for someone like me.”

Hong Yoon-ha, who had kicked the foolish bear’s shin with her shoe, turned around grumbling.

“…? Why are you angry when you eliminated unnecessary misunderstandings in advance?”

“Shut up. Say one more word and I’ll kill you.”

“… … .”

“This is Commander Hyung’s fault.”

“Can I hit you once?”

A peaceful earth rumble spread through the warm atmosphere.

… … …

… …

…

Ground shaking?

Among the remains of the collapsed Halla Gymnasium, some parts were sunken like sinkholes.

When everyone was relieved that it was over, anxiety suddenly swept over them like a gaping hole.

The sense of accomplishment I felt when I looked at the puzzle I had barely put together transformed into an unpleasant feeling, as if someone had spilled it over.

[Suicide Squad], whose nape had become numb, adjusted their posture. Something was happening.

The thread of solution that had been worked so hard to unravel had become tangled again. Like a tangled thread, bright red veins spread out in all directions, intertwining here and there.

“Oh, everyone, be careful!”

“… That thing.”

The blood vessels were swallowing it up. The monsters and their corpses buried in the rubble of the building. And the ‘eggs’ that had not survived besides themselves.

It grew longer and wider, and began to take root and suck up even those who had survived by wandering around instead of being in the gym.

“That makes me hungry.”

The reason the patrolling monsters did not attack even when the [Suicide Squad] approached was not due to human-like thinking such as giving up or fainting from shock.

Because there was no reason to do so.

The thousands of monsters were not simply acting as ‘bodyguards’.

It is even given the role of ‘nutrients’ that will be consumed to provide the enormous amount of energy needed when the egg hatches.

Like a velvet spider that melts its own body and feeds its young when they hatch, leaving only the shell behind.

They would originally have eaten the soil they had taken root in and the corpses on that soil, and then hunted monsters that served as lunch boxes.

And then, ‘very slowly’, I would open my eyes the next morning.

But since the brothers around him had broken up, there was no need for him to go through such a long process since he was the only one left.

He ate his dead brothers, ate the ones that were crushed, and even the survivors, all by himself.

It has consumed all the nutrients it needs to hatch.

It slowly rose out of the pit.

The egg the dragon had laid slowly pulsed after retrieving the web it had stretched out. [The Death Squad] could only watch.

It was because his body was stiff from that unclean and terrible birth.

“Fuck.”

“Cheer up!”

The only ones who moved their bodies, albeit belatedly, were Eunha and Song Chanseop.

In an instant, the two men’s fists and swords flashed as they dug into the egg. However-

Knock, knock.

The sound was heard not only by the two approaching the egg, but also by everyone frozen behind them.

It sounded like the sound of a live crab or turtle shell being forcibly turned over, or like the sound of a rotten molar being pulled out.

It was the sound of evil creeping into the world.

“?!”

“!!”

The attacks by Song Chan-seop and Eunha, who had been digging in from both sides, stopped.

To be exact, they were stopped in their tracks. It was because the tentacles of mollusks that had broken through the surface of the egg wrapped around their fists and swords.

From the very top, a round, oval-shaped human head slowly popped out from between the cracks in the broken egg.

No, it wasn’t a person. The evil that was revealed only up to the corners of the eyes, the red skin, and the deformed horn on the forehead gave me the confidence that it was not a being of this world.

His eyes, which had only black pupils, rolled around and looked at the galaxy.

Again, this time I looked at Song Chan-seop.

Again, again, this time the members of the [Suicide Squad] on the other side.

And it gently lengthened the outer corner of the eye, thickened the iris to resemble a reptile, and gently lifted the lower eyelid.

The baby laughed.
