Phew—!

My great sword struck down at the guy and split the air once again.

Cheesy!

The great sword, which has lost its aim, once again cuts through the car, which has lost its original shape and has become a piece of iron. A fountain gushes from a fire hydrant destroyed by a gale.

The moisture crystals scattered into the air create the shape of a rainbow as they catch the cool autumn sunlight.

‘Blink?’

It was the hex that C escaped from my grasp. You can see fingernail marks on his neck.

‘Is it a supernatural ability?’

The guy climbed onto the large trash can in front and was moaning while clutching his severed right shoulder.

His face was trembling quietly with an expression like that of an idiot, with all the joy, cheerfulness, laughter, and inexplicable mad laughter gone from his face.

No, he’s probably not even shaking.

Perhaps the thought had stopped and hardened. It’s just that my power was much better than that guy C thought.

Seeing that he appeared alone and curiously, I guess he had some kind of belief in it, but the rope didn’t work, so the accident must have stopped.

And because of that effect, he couldn’t receive any signals from his brain, so he froze up with a dumbfounded expression on his face and groaned.

‘That corner of belief.’

A ring was worn on the index finger of his severed right hand. A pattern that I remember seeing somewhere before.

I snap my fingers and the wind carrying my will brings his arm, which was rolling in the corner, towards me.

When he held his arm backwards as if holding a club and infused mana into it, his arm began to bulge and tremble, and blood spewed out from all pores.

Eventually, the arm that exceeds its limit bursts like a balloon, spraying blood.

Looking at that merciless scene.

“Gye… Monster!!”

The guy who saw his severed arm bursting open widens his eyes and vents his anger.

That’s really funny.

Did the human who faced the predator called the dragon not know that the opponent was a monster?

My arm bursts open and the ring on my finger falls into my palm.

After checking the ” pattern ” on the ring, I smiled a little,

“I guess I have a lot to ask you.”

I start walking towards him slowly. The headlight of the car, which was broken and rolling on the ground, broke under my foot and made a pitiful sound.

He, standing at the opposite point,

He felt the ‘monster’ approaching and froze on the spot.

I cast Blink and couldn’t even think of running away, so I was pinned to the spot and opened my mouth slightly.

Two beings that exist on this street. One of them is gradually approaching.

And narrowing the distance between them is not much different from saying that one of them will die.

—And since the monster had murderous intent, the result was clear.

“Well, I’ll kill you and then bury you.”

Pull your feet.

Before I could hear the cracking sound in my auditory system, I was running towards him.

And the impact poured down on him in a destructive or overbearing way, as if grinding down his very existence.

“Come, come! Children of light!”

As I fly away, he lets out a sound that seems to have escaped his throat.

But it’s in vain.

Flutter!

A dull sound was heard. The sound was the sound of chunks of meat and flesh being crushed and twisted.

Along with that sound, a strange smile appeared on my lips. Because I could feel the vibration of that sound through my hand holding the sword hilt.

Clink!

Then, the sound of something breaking was heard from above, and unidentified people jumped down.

─Keeek!

Han Sejun looked a little embarrassed. The embarrassment was due to the continuation of the strange atmosphere that had existed since the party was organized.

Jang A-hyeon gets nervous and kills monsters with her special ability, bullets, as soon as she sees them.

As soon as they saw it, a beam of light flew away, so there was no room for Han Sejun and Tania to intervene.

Han Se-jun gulped as he patted the sword body as if comforting his long sword, which had been proudly drawn out to cut down a monster but had yet to be swung once.

Gwangtan. As research continues at Elada, it has become more widely known that her superpower is not a technique to manipulate light, but a technique to generate and manipulate golden energy from the body.

To be precise, a substance similar to gas is produced in the body, and when it comes in contact with air, it oxidizes and takes on a golden color.

When oxidizing, very high heat is generated, so the beam of light that compresses that energy and shoots out for a long time has an extremely high calorific value.

And now the beam of light coming from her is not golden, but completely white.

‘You seem to be in a really bad mood.’

Her extremely compressed energy is white, not golden. I thought it was a waste to shoot such concentrated, high-density energy bullets to kill low-level monsters like Slasher and Todd Moss, but it was inevitable because she looked so bad.

“That… Ah, Hyeon-ah. Maybe I’m overdoing it. Tania and I will take care of it now, so why don’t we take a break.”

“I’m sorry, but could you please stop calling me by my first name?”

“… Sorry.”

It’s difficult to say that it’s a pleasant sound, but it feels like there’s a huge conflict inside my heart that I can’t accept.

I wondered if a human could make such a sound, but anyway, it was coming from her.

Now that I think about it, you drop my last name and just call me Sejun. Han Se-jun wanted to shoot back, but he had the ability to sense the mood, so he desperately held back.

Eventually, she makes a tsk sound and slowly lowers her arms raised in the air. Her supernatural power, which had been compressing and emitting tremendous heat from the back of her hand, gradually fades away, revealing the back of her bare hand, which is white and healthy.

“As you know, it is a small gate. The professor brought us here to improve our confidence. But there’s no need to linger here, right?”

“… Yes, you are right.”

Sejun sighed and nodded his head slightly. I felt Tania’s hand on my shoulder, as if telling me not to be upset. When I saw her, I smiled and nodded as if I understood everything.

Sejun, who was a little heartbroken after being strongly rejected by Jang A-hyeon, felt the pain inside him gradually fade as she comforted him.

“Thank you, Tania.”

“With something like this.”

When I first met her, she was very blunt, but these days, I see her as a really kind and considerate child. At that moment, I had the urge to hug her and cry.

Now that I think about it, she has been engaging in frequent skinship these days, knowingly or unknowingly.

“But the leader. I’m not sure why the leader cares about the dean. Of course, personally… It may be a concern, but the dean is not someone who can be manipulated.”

“… .”

“I agree that she is a bit dangerous, but… I don’t think there is any reason for the leader to be that worried.”

“… okay. I showed that I was a poor leader. I apologize to everyone.”

She bows slightly and offers them an apple. When he got up again, his face was stained red, probably because of embarrassment and shame for not being able to maintain his integrity as a leader.

Sejun thought, this is the first time she has blushed like this.

Seeing her face so colored that he thought she might get burned if she even touched it, Sejun couldn’t understand and looked at her with wide eyes.

Sejun tilts his head while looking at Jang Ah-hyun, and this time, Tania scratches her head with a wry smile.

“Well, it looks like the situation has been resolved. It seems like all the gates have disappeared.”

“Then what should we do now? Should I go back? Or shall we find the remaining monsters that survived?”

“The professor’s order to return hasn’t been given yet, so let’s keep wandering around. Is Tania okay too?”

“Of course.”

With the leader’s permission, Sejun quietly walked to a food truck on the street and picked up a skewer that was being grilled.

As the gate was opened, the business owner had already run away and the various skewered dishes that had been grilled were left on the fire.

Sejun picks up three skewers that appear to be lamb skewers and hesitates for a moment, realizing that he does not have dollars. The only thing that came out of my pocket was Korean won.

He pondered whether he should pay this bill with King Sejong on it instead, but eventually returned to his team holding a skewer.

‘Yes, if it continues like this anyway, there will be no owner, so it will just burn and turn into pitch-black charcoal. ‘Because I take care of what gets thrown away.’

I was thinking like a thief.

It was an afternoon past noon, so the sky was clear and blue. Citizens, realizing that the monsters have disappeared, slowly begin to come out onto the streets again.

─Wow! Long live the heroes!

─Mom, are those brothers and sisters the superpowers from X-Men?

─Ladies! Please take a picture with me! There’s an Asian lady with short hair! Please, please.

The urban setting is quite inconvenient in this regard. This is because crowd control is not properly implemented because there are a significant number of citizens.

I think my freedom of action was a little reduced because I had to pay attention to my dignity and appearance.

“Everyone, please go home! The monsters have not been completely dealt with yet!”

Sejun shouts loudly at them, but they just smile and nod and don’t try to go back.

After all, who would believe him even if he mumbled and said such good things as “The current situation is serious”.

Jang Ah-hyun and Tania refused, saying they were on a mission, so all three skewers he brought ended up being his, giving him a leisurely image like a hamster eating a lot of food.

I could hear people asking for autographs or taking pictures with their cell phones from behind, but they just kept moving.

“─Rye!”

A voice I’ve heard before comes from behind me. But for now, Sejun and his group move on.

When I thought about it, I made a mistake by bringing the skewers. Even though pictures are being taken, I wonder if they will find fault with it later. Doing something else while on a mission. In other words, isn’t it like dereliction of duty?

It was already burdensome to constantly be under the sharp gaze of my teammates.

“I told you to wait!”

“… ?”

Sejun and his group stopped when they heard someone’s voice getting closer.

At first, they didn’t realize that the voice was heading towards them, but perhaps the voice was calling their group now.

“… Mr. Yoon Shia? Weren’t you with the professor?”

Jang Ah-hyun called her name in a daze.
