episode_0312

This is a story from when I was young, but there was a time when I really didn’t understand the villains in Sentai.

No, if you really wanted to win, you could just aim for the moment the heroes transform and attack them, but why wait until the transformation is complete and then get beaten up? From my perspective, I couldn’t understand it, even considering the cancer.

Of course, now I know that due to the circumstances of the industry, I just quietly sucked my fingers and waited until the transformation was complete, but in my innocent(?) days, I truly thought that way.

What kind of nonsense is this all of a sudden?

I say this because my current situation is not much different from the villains I saw back then.

Wiggle…! Wiggle…!

Is it because he sensed the crisis of the entity he was using as a parent?

I thought to myself as I saw something writhing in a very profane manner, as if it was going to rip open its mother’s stomach at any moment and jump out.

I was wondering how to fix that.

‘Getting closer…’

Honestly, it was a bit like that.

If it wasn’t on fire, I could have gotten caught in it if I blindly approached something that was burning brightly.

That was why I slowly rolled my eyes and looked around, and after making sure that Reiko was far enough away, I took a seat behind an abandoned car nearby.

“Hu-eup…!”

So I took a seat behind the car… and used my whole body to push it towards the thing that was burning brightly at this very moment.

Cooung!

The thing that was pushed against me collided with another car that was parked nearby and made quite a loud noise, but I paid it no mind and focused on building a barrier made of steel around the burning thing.

And when I started to think that this was enough to explode together, I approached the tanker that had fallen on its side and was left unattended.

It was the one with ‘Handle with caution’ written on the outside in Japanese.

Was it originally used to transport something like gas?

As I got closer, a strong gas-specific smell assaulted my nose, but I held my breath and stuck my arm under the thing that had fallen on its side.

And then I started to lift it with all my strength…

“Inhale…!”

Grrrn still!

The thing that had been crushed unsightly began to rise up by force with my hands.

After making the thing that looked quite dangerous join the ranks, he turned to Reiko, who had retreated a long way, and made a signal with his hand.

This meant hiding behind the car just in case.

Did he immediately realize what I was trying to do when he saw me forcibly raising a gas truck that was lying on the street?

Immediately, Reiko’s figure disappeared behind the car.

I checked everything, no more, no less…

Slurp…

He quietly pulled out the sword stored at his waist.

Buzz buzz…!

The sword that had been devouring it voraciously as I pushed into it trembled and spewed out its name.

He tightly gripped the sword, which looked like it was about to fall into pieces, making a sound like “Break it at any moment…” and raised his arms high above his head.

The first thing I learned from Jo-in when cutting with a sword was a simple downward cut without any complicated tricks.

At the same time as it unfolded from the fingertips, a half-moon shaped sword with a blinding blue light flew towards the gas carrier that had last joined the line…

Cooung…!

The moment the inside of the gas transport vehicle, which was tightly protected by steel, was revealed to the world, a huge pillar of fire soared onto the road so that it could be seen even from afar.

thud···! Cooung…!

The explosion did not stop at just one time.

As if to reflect my intention to completely destroy the opponent before he showed up, the cars I had placed near the target began belatedly causing chain explosions.

The sound of an explosion was deafening.

The screams of the ‘Queen’, which had been echoing non-stop for a while now, had long since been consumed by them.

So… I ended up repeating it without even realizing it.

That line that should never be said.

‘···Is it over?’

And as if my muttering was a signal… a long, sharp arm suddenly shot out from within the blazing pillar of fire.

While dripping black essence.

“···What the fuck.”

What on earth am I looking at right now?

I felt sick.

Because it was such an unbelievable sight.

The monster of this type that broke through the pillar of fire that soared high enough to reach the sky was strong.

I’ve never had a direct encounter with someone fighting over there right now, but I felt it as soon as I saw them.

As creatures, our innate status is different.

Any living creature that exists on Earth would seem small in front of it.

To the extent that such confidence came naturally… I felt that the scenery I was stepping on was different.

That… was a monster that no human could dare to face.

Such a monster… a being that made others submit just by existing… one human was standing alone to stop it.

Kaaang…!

“kk···!”

The sound of the crash alone made the air vibrate.

Sigh…!

Cooung!

With one light wave of his hand, everything around him was cut off.

In a world full of broken things, only the man, Su-hyeon, was alone and complete.

No, perfect only refers to the human form, and even the state was not perfect.

Is it because they have already fought one fierce battle?

Su-hyeon’s body, which was covered in armor of unknown origin, was suddenly full of stab wounds.

The good news was that there were no deep cuts or cuts at all…

‘How… is it possible to keep moving with a body like that…?’

Just looking at it made my bones ache.

Su-hyeon’s condition was as serious as can be seen.

The blood that was leaking from the cuts carved all over his body was blood, but even to an outsider, she could see that the bones and muscles that made up his body had reached their limits.

Every step I took left a deep red mark.

Bone joints that have reached their limit make a cracking sound and muscles twitch.

It wouldn’t be surprising if he collapsed right away.

Nevertheless, Su-hyeon did not take a step back even once.

I just… look back in her direction every now and then to check if someone is okay.

I was able to tell thanks to that appearance.

The reason why Soo-hyeon does not choose the option of running away or avoiding, despite her extremely dangerous appearance.

You probably know.

If I run away from here, I will be able to survive alone, but everyone behind me will die.

So, like that… Even though blood is dripping from all over the body, it is probably just gritting its teeth and continuing to move forward.

Kaaang…!

Su-hyeon and the monster collided once again.

A clash between a man who seems to have transcended his limits as a human being and a monster who seems to have reached his limit as a living creature.

It resulted in destruction.

The ground cracks, and all kinds of debris scatters in all directions.

In such a structure, the one who unilaterally suffered a loss was none other than Su-hyeon.

Unlike the strange monster, whose body was as strong as steel, leaving only a slight scratch when cut by a sword, Su-hyeon had the body of a mere human.

Every time a piece of stone bounced off me, a scar was etched into my face, which I thought wasn’t bad because I was manly.

And that difference…

“keek···!’

It decided victory or defeat.

Did something get into my eyes?

With a voice full of frustration, Suhyun hesitated for the first time and took a step back.

It was at that moment that the black, shining monster’s arm was aimed at Su-hyeon’s head.

The result is clearly visible.

It must have been a moment when I couldn’t bear to face it directly, so I closed my eyes tightly and chose to escape from reality.

Wow!

The sound of something with a hard texture breaking flowed into my ears.

.

“Huh…! Wow…!”

Fuck… it was really dangerous…

I don’t know if it’s because of the heat treatment he received in prenatal education, but he was completely black from head to toe, and despite his extremely ignorant appearance, I realized early on that his behavioral patterns were strangely intelligent, and the fake I put on was an exquisite match. It’s a shame because we succeeded in inserting the counter, but what if we hadn’t?

By now, my head would have been smashed like a watermelon thrown on the floor.

‘I had suffered tremendous damage even before entering the battle, but to this extent…’

What would have happened if that hadn’t happened and the guy had stayed fine?

As I was imagining that in my mind, I don’t know if it was the aftereffects of my relaxation, or the side effects of all the doping drugs I had tried without even thinking about what to do, but my hands began to shake dangerously.

Still, it was not difficult to blow off the head of something that had already lost its shape and was starting to collapse.

That must have been the moment when I pulled out the sword that was stuck in the guy’s body and blew off the guy’s head, which had really impressive big bright yellow horns.

[You have succeeded in killing ‘Shutendoji’, one of the five vanguards of erosion.]

[Mission progress is updated.]

With a fanfare that seemed almost contrived, a system window that I had not seen in a long time appeared before my eyes.

‘One of the five vanguards…?’

That means there are at least four more like this…?

The extremely harsh truth.

After encountering something like that, I completely lost consciousness.
