episode_0101

7 o’clock in the morning.

At the time when everyone was preparing for their daily routine, everyone was frozen in front of a device that could watch videos, whether it was a TV or a tablet.

“Wow….”

Ymir sipped his morning coffee and let out an exclamation.

“You said a goblin suddenly appeared, and after meeting me, you went from Sejong Island to Gangwon-do? You’re busy.”

The goblin on TV was confronting two S-class villains known as Crimson Witch and Gungi.

I don’t know the details of what the situation is.

All kinds of information was being mixed up, such as there was a gun accident in Gangwon-do or a biker gang showed up in the early morning, and the Hero Association did not give any official response.

-Do you see it?! Now, two S-class players are going to be tied 2:2!

-Ugh, I’m going crazy. Shouldn’t we avoid this…? Even if you fight on the airport runway, it seems like magic bullets will just fly at you…!

-I have to film this! We will definitely get 1 million views!

I just look around at various monitors watching videos being broadcast live from people at Yangyang Airport.

The broadcasting station simply announced on the news that a disturbance had occurred at Yangyang Airport, but did not broadcast it live.

“…You might be stronger than you think?”

Ymir whetted his appetite while watching the goblin in the video.

The spicy aroma of coffee enveloped his entire body, and Ymir took a bite of the frankfurters he had grilled for breakfast with his fork and put it into his mouth.

Grumble!

“…….”

As soon as the heroes’ attack began, Ymir stopped acting.

With a single finger of sausage in her mouth, she clearly witnessed Gungi entering the goblin’s body.

-Oooo!!

Those who were filming the video at the scene also started to get excited, wondering if their hands were shaking in anticipation or if the entire airport building was really shaking.

-Are you getting a big one?

Goblin has shown new appearances several times.

Starting with Doji Rider, goblins began to show something new over and over again.

But this was my first time like this.

One S-class superpower becomes one with another S-class?

-It’s a combination!!

Crack.

Ymir bit into the sausage without realizing it.

Juice was flowing out from inside, but Ymir watched the goblin’s transformation with calm eyes, munching on the sausage as if he was chewing beef.

“Combined….”

Become one with the goblin.

“……Huh? No, wait a minute. Why do I envy that?”

Ymir suddenly felt like his face was getting hot.

I tried to cool off the fever by quickly fanning my hands, but unlike usual, my heart did not calm down as easily.

“…write.”

Ymir savored his appetite and put down his fork.

As she watched the goblin changing into a new form on the screen, she wiggled her fingers and continued to express her disappointment.

“I want to see it in person….”

Probably everyone feels the same way.

The number of real-time viewers of this shaky live streaming video has exceeded 30,000 since the morning, and the numbers in other rooms are also rapidly soaring.

“I can’t believe I can’t see this in person…”

It’s a shame to look through the screen, but what do those who are sleeping right now feel like?

“…Ha.”

Ymir just sucked on the sausage with a sigh, admiring the new appearance of the goblin with sparks flying.

“…Why not a rider?”

The goblin has taken on a new form.

There were no more Dodge Riders there.

A lingering red light rising from the whole body.

A red robe in the shape of a coat with a flame-like pattern.

Inside is a black hanbok that seems to hug the body and a belt.

The mask on the face is different from the usual masks, it is a goblin mask that resembles a black tiger with a slight hint of gunki.

Flashing.

But those sparkling eyes were still gold.

“…….”

Ymir was fiddling with his hair, crossing his hair from side to side and covering his mouth.

“…heehee.”

somewhere.

His new appearance had a similar feel to the color of the Magical Girl Golden Buddha, although there was much less gold in it.

* * *

A suit created with magical power naturally contains the will of the person using the magical power.

[Surprising. Don’t you like Hanbok that much?]

[It’s not that I don’t like it. I just did it because I was displeased with the behavior of those who excessively pushed me towards Gukbong.]

[Well, appearances don’t matter. It’s cool in a way so it’s okay.]

Gung-gi expressed his doubts about the appearance of my new unity, but quickly calmed his doubts.

[What are you going to use as a weapon? Mine? Or a bat like usual?]

[Because it’s been a long time coming, I have to use yours.]

My usual weapon is of course the goblin bat, but now I can use other weapons with ‘S-class firepower’.

As such, there is no reason to use the same weapons as usual.

[Let’s start with interception first.]

I put my hand inside the sleeve of the robe and released my magic power, creating sharp ink-colored thorns.

[Flare beat.]

A long needle that is approximately 20 cm long is thrown to the side.

The long needle spread to the left and right flew sideways, then changed direction, flew like an arrow towards the ice feather that was flying towards me, and hit it head on.

“Where!”

Snow White tried to avoid the thorns by moving her ice feathers with her hands as if she was commanding, but even faster than that, my thorns moved quickly between the feathers, scattering residual fire.

[Slow.]

The moment the embers flowed down the trajectory of the flying ice feather, the feather shattered into pieces, causing a magical explosion.

[If you spray it a lot without any substance, it will only be flashy.]

Every time a needle of flame passes along the path of the ice feather that was flying toward me, the feather shatters.

It seemed as if a red laser was passing through the white pillar, and a series of explosions occurred, disintegrating Snow White’s magic bullets.

[Just changing the form does not change the essence, Snow White.]

“Ugh…!”

[Even if it is an ice feather, the root is ultimately magic bullets. Just intercept it and that’s it.]

“Then how about this!”

Too doo doo!

A loud noise sounded from behind.

“If it’s real bullets and not magic bullets!”

Before I knew it, Taejo appeared behind me, riding a dragon made of scrap metal.

The scrap metal dragon pointed the rifle at me, holding a rifle neatly packed in its mouth and a bike equipped with a rifle in both hands.

“Live bullets containing physical power will not cause magic power cancellation!”

[Hoo, did you notice?]

Doo doo doo doo!

K2 bullets rush towards me.

I ran to the side to avoid the trajectory of the bullets, and Taejo chased after me and continued to fire bullets.

“I don’t know how strong that suit is, but just shoot it until the magic power runs out!”

[That’s the correct answer, Taejo.]

The most fundamental way to fire bullets at someone with special abilities.

Hitting the bullet until the bullet goes through, or more precisely, until the mana that protects the body is used up and the shield is released.

Historically, a quantitative offensive was the answer, and King Taejo continued to fire dozens of bullets at me.

[But I’m too weak for that.]

I followed the trajectory of running quickly across the floor, landing heavily on the floor and jumping up.

Just before I jumped, flames spewed out from under my feet, soaring like a rocket, and I landed exactly on top of the scrap metal dragon that Taejo was riding.

“Ugh!”

King Taejo immediately jumped off the dragon of scrap metal.

[This is a good decision.]

I raised my hand high and thrust it toward the dragon’s neck.

Kwa—-!!

Red flames burst out from the scrap metal dragon’s whole body and the dragon fell to the ground.

The flames crackled and burned the dragon’s body, and I lifted myself up from the collapsed scrap metal dragon and lightly shook off my hands.

[There is no time to rest.]

When I raised my head to the sky to see a slight shadow, a huge ice suddenly appeared there.

[Are you planning on crushing me like that?]

Snow White has already laid the foundation for this to be avoided.

Ice crystals spread around a huge glacier.

As if she had spread a net before the union, Snow White gave her opponent no chance to escape.

And there is one reason for this attack.

[You are not wrong.]

Because they are trying to trap me with an attack that makes a huge glacier fall like a meteorite.

[Even though you can catch other villains that way…]

Since the goal is to subdue, not kill, most of her attacks are aimed at freezing me and hitting me rather than stabbing or cutting me.

[I can’t catch it.]

I drew out the magic power of the archery and formed a burning dark red flame into one shape.

Weaponization of magical power.

The skill called ‘Auror’ in fantasy novels has become an essential skill for people with special abilities in this world, and I also used that power to create a weapon that matches its current form.

The most suitable weapon for archers.

A weapon best suited to this ability of flame.

[Opening.]

[Blaze Sword!!]

I swung the sword in my hand wide into the sky.

[Slashㅡㅡ!!]

Suddenly!

The black glacier of blazing flames split apart.

The sky split, and the glacier split left and right again.

“Heung.”

A low sneer was heard from above the glacier.

“Do you think you will use an attack that failed once again?”

On top of the glacier, there she is.

[Hidden behind the glacier?]

“You didn’t notice, right?”

Snow White, who dodged my slash, wrapped his entire body in white magic and threw his fist over his shoulder.

[…Frozen Punch?]

“Do you want to die?!”

A white fist containing all the S-class magical power rushed towards me.
