Cradangtang—!

“This…this is ridiculous!!!“

Jingles kicked off his chair and stood up.

The rooftop of a high-rise building near Yangjae Station.

There, he looked at the real-time video on his smartphone and screamed.

In the video that was being transmitted through all CCTVs in the city.

Inside, thugs that he had never imagined were running rampant.

Tu-ta-ta-ta-ta—!

Tu-ta-ta-ta-ta—!

Tatang—! Ta-ta-ta-tang–!

Even if they were small bugs, they would be able to block at least some attacks.

As if laughing at that, aren’t bullets raining down like crazy at the shells of the Plagas?

Click! Crash.

“Boss, requesting supply of bullets.”

“Tsk… Okay, I’ve prepared plenty of bullets, so blow up anything that moves.“

“honorary name.“

Numerous drum magazines taken out of subspace.

And if the barrel of the submachine gun is damaged due to overheating,

He immediately takes out a new submachine gun from the portal and brings it out.

Grrr!

Now, not only are entire swarms of insects roasted over open fire.

Thump–! Thump—!

He was blowing up his precious Plagas with an explosive weapon.

“This…this…ugh!!!!! Argh!!!! You ruined my performance like this!!! What on earth is this?!!!“

Jingles’ hands were shaking and he threw his smartphone on the floor.

Soon, the cell phone shattered into pieces with a crunching sound.

“Well…still. There’s still one more gate left… That’s right, even with that alone, you’ll be able to get half… half of the offerings… “

bang—-!

A shock so strong that even the ground of a high-rise building trembles.

And a red flame flickering at the far end of my vision.

As soon as Jingles realized something was definitely wrong,

I immediately stuck my head out from the rooftop railing and looked around Yangjae Station.

Grrr!

The breath of a gigantic red dragon.

Of course, it was the Plaga sticking out near the gate,

Even the nest beyond the gate was being consumed by flames.

“That…is something else…! dragon..! It’s a dragon!!!! Why is there a dragon in the city center!!!! Ahhh!!!!“

Jingles was rolling around on the floor and looked like he was about to lose consciousness.

Apparently, all level 3 hunters were in Sokcho as requested by the church.

Even the personnel who took sick leave like myself were somehow under the authority of the management director.

They would have dragged them all to that place.

“Why…why!!!! Why are you here!!!!“

A hunter with flowing red hair.

Riding like crazy around Yangjae Station on a black motorcycle.

All visible flags were burned with flames.

Boom—!

bang—-!!!

Let’s swing the scarlet greatsword roughly once,

The swarms of insects nearby were slaughtered in an instant.

Not only that, the ground beneath it rises with a violent explosion,

All of the advancing Plagates were being incinerated.

KEEECK!

Suddenly—!

Grrr!

Meee!!!!

‘Gyaaah!!!! ‘I’m running away!!!’

‘The cub…I just have to give birth to another cub!!!’

‘Hot Lehu!!!’

Vroom—Room—!

“Ahh…Ahhhh…No…Stop…Stop!!!!“

The clown was stomping his feet and chewing his fingers.

With brothers and sisters from other dimensions and a group of Plagams carefully trained and raised,

And the sincere comrades I met through the power of my mother.

I never thought I would see a cruel battlefield where people were slaughtered so cruelly.

Jingles was sucking his fingers with tears streaming down his face.

“Ugh…Ugh…Revenge…I will take revenge…Definitely…Definitely…!“

He took out three toy boxes from his pocket.

And he stroked them one by one carefully,

I took out the last remaining silver token.

“Originally, you told me to keep one for emergencies, but the plan changed…“

Then he turned his head and looked at the area near Yangjae Station.

Thanks to the two heroes who are playing tricks on that damn management bureau,

Citizens nearby were quickly running away to the subway station.

He grinned and hummed as he looked at the scene.

” Right… That’s right… Even if there is some damage… As long as we open the gate where the citizens evacuated…! Woohoo…!“

Clap clap clap—!

The clown stood up, clapping his feet loudly.

“Well…I almost ruined the performance because of you naughty people…but it was a problem that I just had to go out and meet the audience personally~“

Just like that, Jingles quickly ran down the building.

All the citizens have evacuated to a crowded place,

To enter the subway station of Yangjae Station.

—–

Kieeek-!

Kwasik-!

“Oh…shit…!“

A Plaga jumped on Surtur’s arm,

It started digging into her body.

Ki…kieeek…?!

“Go away…go away!!!“

Quad deuk—!

However, the temperature seems to be melting, far beyond that of a human.

And the scales are so hard that they can never be pierced by insect claws.

Even if those swarms of insects come in with an insane amount of force.

Not only was he unable to stop a single Surtur.

Even if you do your best to run away as far as possible,

She immediately followed him on her bike and trampled everything that was left behind.

‘Retreat…retreat…! Retreat…!’

Another Plaga commander beyond the gate gave an order,

The insects that were mentally connected began to run away quickly.

The result of the battle was literally an overwhelming defeat.

The only opponent was a red dragon,

Instead of controlling her brain, many soldiers were brutally slaughtered.

‘It’s okay…it’s okay. There’s still a chance…!’

The moment when the commander and executives twisted their bodies.

Shooo!

A projectile was seen rushing towards me like crazy, emitting white smoke.

‘That…that…!’

bang!!!!!!!!!!

Wow!!!!

That split second before the gate closes.

Without missing the opportunity, a missile flew from far away,

The entire area near where he was standing was blown up.

‘Retreat…retreat…gap…’

Many defeated bugs ran hastily into the closing gate,

Only less than 1/10th of the troops were able to survive.

‘It was a completely…bad battle from the beginning…’

In my increasingly blurred vision,

He was able to close his eyes with some relief.

After all, bugs let bugs be bugs.

Because numerous reinforcements were already running towards us.

—–

“Mr. Surt!!!“

I waved my hand at Surtur.

The rocket that was just fired hit the command-level entity.

Although the Plagas retreated, it seemed like they would not invade for the time being.

“Seojin~!“

Vroom—!

She came straight towards me on her motorcycle,

Afterwards, he started stroking and examining every nook and cranny of my body.

“Are you hurt anywhere? Where was the bite? Didn’t you get hit by those bugs?“

“Of course, we maintained a safe distance, and they couldn’t even get close because they blew everything up with firepower.“

I spread my arms and reassured her that I was fine,

Surtur heaved a sigh of relief and adjusted his grip on the great sword.

“This…this is really crazy. No, it really doesn’t make sense? If you swing it like it’s booming, it’ll go like a kwagwagwa, you know what it is?“

“It’s a shame I couldn’t see it in person…but it definitely wasn’t a joke. Now, just looking at these wreckage…“

In the middle of the road, there were dents and debris that looked like a rough explosion.

The corpses of countless parasites were piled up like a mountain here.

So much so that I really felt that restoring Levatein was a good thing.

Her spirit was on par with Surtur’s awakening five years later.

“How about it? Did I do well? Huh?“

“Right, right. Thank you for your hard work. After all, she’s my older sister.“

Stroke- Stroke-

“Ehehe…“

I smiled and stroked her red hair,

Every time my hand moved, her head tilted back and forth along with my hand.

“Then…I guess it’s resolved by now. Now, if only the mastermind behind this is arrested…“

“Did you say clown…? I was looking around just in case. I didn’t see that kind of person.“

“Well, it’s no use running away now.“

Red magic power flows out from his hands,

A line immediately appeared and began tracking the prey.

It raced across the asphalt at a very high speed,

Soon after, he entered one of the exits of nearby Yangjae Station and disappeared.

“Is it…inside the subway station…?“

“I think so. I thought he was planning to hide among the crowd… but it’s okay since I already know his identity.“

“The hero who I thought was fine did something like this… What a bunch of pseudo-bastards, let’s go. Let’s finish it quickly and go have a smoke.“

“Okay, first of all…“

Kugugugugugung—-!

At that moment, the ground where Surtur and I were standing shook violently,

The ground started shaking like crazy.

“What…what…?! Earthquake…is it an earthquake…?!“

“No…this…feeling…“

I closed my eyes and concentrated all my nerves.

And calming my anxious mind, I listened to the sounds coming from deep underground.

「Aaaah!!! W…there’s a gate here too!!!”

“The hero…the hero hasn’t appeared yet…?!”

「Mi…don’t push…! “Don’t push it…!”

‘Shit…’

That damn bastard who I thought ran away as soon as the apocalypse plan was foiled,

It seemed like the gate had been opened again inside the subway station where citizens had evacuated.

“Mr. Surt, an additional gate has opened in the basement.“

“Ah…well, that’s right…I somehow thought it would be solved easily…“

“Don’t worry too much, I think I used up the last power I prepared as a spare… Even if you are a high-ranking priest, no matter how many times you receive these relics, you can only get 3.“

“I really know…Anyway, if we just clear out this gate, it’s really over, right?“

I nodded and stood up,

Surtur adjusted his grip on Levatein, turned his shoulders, and made a clicking sound.

“Now, just give me the command. Our commander probably has a plan, right?“

“First of all, there are two lines at Yangjae Station: Line 3 and Shinbundang Line. Let’s each take charge of one area. Because we have cast a tracking spell, even if Jingles is disguised, he will be clearly visible to our eyes with a red highlight.“

“Okay…!“

Surtur put his greatsword on his back and tapped my shoulder.

Then he smiled brightly and quickly ran towards the entrance.

“The person who catches that bastard late is the one who buys food today~!!“

I smiled and waved at her,

I immediately ran towards Yangjae Station on the Shinbundang Line.

◦ at

“Wow…gasp…I lived…I lived…!“

“Mom…! Mom…!“

Countless citizens rushed out from the entrance like waves,

They were crawling out in complete panic.

Among them, people who appeared to be level 2 hunters were leading the people.

Fortunately, thanks to their lead, nothing terrible, such as people being stampeded to death, occurred.

I immediately grabbed a student wearing the academy uniform that I was leading and asked.

“Hey, where in the subway station did the gate open?“

“ㅎ…Hero…?! Live…live…the hero has come…!“

The little girl looked at me with tears in her eyes,

Although he is currently wearing a black suit and a fedora.

It might seem a bit ridiculous to see him as a hero.

In this disaster, unlike ordinary citizens, unique clothing,

And here is my current appearance, with skeletons wearing trench coats and radiating strong magical power.

In the eyes of the girl and other citizens, he seemed to be seen as a hero.

“Finally…the hero has arrived…!“

“ㅅ…Oh my…Thank you…Thank you for showing up…!“

“We survived…! I don’t know who it is…but it looks really strong…!“

I held the shoulder of a student who was panting and crying,

I told her with the most humane smile I could.

“Now…now…calm down and think slowly. Where did you first feel the magic power of the gate? “

“Huu…hu…that…subway…inside the Shinbundang Line…the rail side that takes the subway directly…!“

The girl took a deep breath and spoke to me with difficulty,

I tapped her shoulder and gave her a thumbs up.

“You’re doing really well. So please continue to do this. Citizens will continue to come out, and you need to calm them down so they don’t get hurt as much as possible, you know what I mean?“

“ㄴ…Yes…! Hero…! I…I’ll help you…!“

click-!

I pulled the loading handle of the submachine gun,

He immediately ordered the Skeleton Knights.

“Now, we will enter the subway station. Replace all weapons with shields and greatswords, and swing them as carefully as possible since citizens are evacuating. Got it?“

“honorary name.“

“honorary name.“

‘You damn bastard…I’m going to sneak into the crowd like this and get the citizens involved…’

I quickly ran into the subway station with my fists clenched.

As soon as you see me pretending to be a hero,

The citizens who were lining up cleared the way for me.

Since I had to eliminate the culprit as quickly as possible for even a second, I threw myself onto the sloping part in the middle,

I went down quickly like I was going down a slide.

“Hee…Hero…! A hero has appeared…!“

“Aaaah~~! It’s cool~~!“

“I…I’ve never seen a hero like that before…! Quick… take a picture quickly…! You’re so charismatic…!“

So, I was in a subway station where the magic of the gloomy gate was exuding,

He ran forward, holding a tommy gun in the air.

It’s still crawling out from somewhere underground,

To get rid of those disgusting parasites.
