episode_0417

Those in the banquet hall where the auction ended immediately dispersed.

Not only because the auction was over, but also because many people became agitated as soon as the damage from the fighter jets that went out to intercept them was reported.

“A monster that eats people with special abilities! Then, isn’t it true that they are targeting people with special abilities gathered on Jeju Island?”

“Even though it spit out a fighter jet, you might not have known there were people inside it! We don’t want to be eaten by a monster with each finger moving like a snake!”

That would be the same for everyone, but since it was proven that the Manator’s top priority was people with mana – people with superpowers, there was only one place for ordinary people without powers to go.

“Let’s go to Jeju City quickly!! Come on!!”

The Haegeuneul Hotel is located in Seogwipo City.

It is in the south of Jeju Island, and the airport from which you can leave Jeju Island is in the north.

Regardless of whether to climb Hallasan Mountain or go back to the side, the only way to survive was to escape to Jeju Airport first before the Manator arrived in Seogwipo.

“President of the Association! I’ll leave the rest to you!”

“No, haa….”

Step, save me. Looking at the people running away in the car, the president of the association could hardly control his frown.

“People who were trying to spend billions and hundreds of billions without any care are now throwing out their money because their lives are in danger.”

I understand.

They are ordinary people, and those who remain here are ‘heroes’ who protect and protect them, and at the same time, he is the commander and general manager of those heroes.

And there is no time to take out one’s anger or care about people like that.

-President of the Association!! There is a Taegeuk Watch response inside the Manator! Still alive!!

“…Send someone with the ability to check from a distance. The goal is to check where our agents are located from a distance where the Manator cannot notice. Taegeuk watch signal, is it a biological signal? It’s not an electronic signal, right?”

-No abnormalities in vital values! Still alive!

“I see. Then…this guy isn’t the type of demon that digests people with special abilities that it devours. An entity that uses the possessed superpower as a battery. Ah… indeed! The root of that monster… Ah, damn it, that part was censored so the kids won’t know…!”

The president of the association frowned for a moment, changed the settings of Taegeuk Watch, and then spoke into Taegeuk Watch.

“Notify all heroes! According to current estimates, the Manator uses people with special abilities as ‘batteries’! There may be something like a cocoon in the stomach, and it is highly likely that people with special abilities are trapped inside the cocoon and exploiting mana!!”

I can only guess.

Since he has never seen a devil like this before, he can only make the most plausible guess because such a case is what he sees right now in the various stories he knows.

“All those capable of long-distance attacks gather at Seogwipo Port!! At the same time, prepare a transport device, whether a car or a bike, so that you can leave at any time! Grade D and below will not be able to escape if they are eaten!!”

In fact, among those who were on the fighter plane, the one with the strongest ability was D-class.

It’s still alive, but there’s no limit to it if it’s just a lump of flesh or mana being sucked out of a cocoon like in a shonen cartoon.

However, this world is reality, and the devils are crueler than the monsters in boys’ comics, so they are like people from monster movies who are rated 19+.

-President of the Association! Everyone gathered at Seogwipo Port! I will wait as instructed!

“Okay. If there’s anyone who says you have to go all the way to the sea, tell them not to talk nonsense. …hu.”

The president of the association took a moment to catch his breath.

The situation has already risen to the highest crisis level, and the head of the Hero Association is the supreme commander at this scene.

“Damn…. What kind of S-class superpower turned into such a crazy devil?”

If the auction had ended smoothly, it would probably be time to have a quick post-auction dinner and chat.

I had to worry about what to do with Phoenix’s feather worth 2 trillion or Do Ji-hwan’s one night stand worth 30 billion, but I ended up dealing with a more serious devil than that.

In this chaos, if something happens on Jeju Island –

“…I guess not?”

The president of the association tapped Taegeuk Watch and urgently called the relevant agent.

-This is [New Idol]! I got a call, Mr. President!

“Where is Chairman Haeguneul now?”

-We are now moving north with Phoenix’s feathers! We will go to Jeju City and join you again!

“…There may be someone taking advantage of the confusion to target the Phoenix’s feather, so be careful…!”

-yes!!

The president of the association breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the association agent’s voice give a loud answer.

“Demon outside the standard… However, the number of people with special abilities currently here is only S-class people who came to the front line…10 people.”

Crackling.

The president of the association bit his nails and shook his head with a smile.

“No, probably not. There’s no way something like that could happen. okay. There is no way in the world that there is such a nuisance that goes out alone and gets eaten by that devil and becomes an S-class battery…”

-President of the Association!!

“…Why?”

-S-class villain, [One Knuckle] suddenly runs towards the sea and stops!!

“Ah, ㅆ…”

The president of the association barely suppressed the double curse that was about to come out of his mouth.

“Please, don’t say that you feel like your magic power has become stronger.”

-…sorry! It is estimated that the horsepower has increased by as much as One Knuckle.

“Ah.”

The president of the association covered his face with his hands.

“Damn villains, they know what’s going on and they fool around, but it’s always like this…!”

* * *

[I can’t believe he was just trying to make a name for himself and then ended up becoming the enemy’s power. Pathetic bastards. I should have found them all and broken the cradle a long time ago.]

I just thought back to the scene that happened 30 seconds ago.

-Hahaha, this one-knuckle punch man, Mahambra, will take down that evil giant! Allah’s One Punch!!

One day, I saw a scene like that.

The character runs with the best striking technique in his fist and lands his fist, but due to the game system worldview, the character is eaten by a monster with the [Strike Nullifies] skill.

Of course, that devil did not use such a systematic method, but simply captured the S-class villain ‘One Knuckle’ with his pure size and physical strength.

As Won Knuckle jumped into the sky and stretched out his fist forward, a tentacle-like protrusion extending from the solar plexus grabbed Won Knuckle.

Thanks to this, we learned about the Maniter’s fighting style.

‘It has ten main fingers, but it is a being that can pull out another finger from its body.’

It’s actually a walking tentacle monster.

When eating One Knuckle, it takes some time to pull out a new tentacle, but the length of the tentacle is not very long, so it is an ‘upper body protection type’.

-iced coffee. I can hear? What are you going to do?

A call came to the desperate Taegeuk Watch.

-are you okay. There’s no one next to me. This is the palace. Reply, goblin.

I didn’t answer for a while out of fear, and fortunately, the person on the other end of the line was definitely not a disheveled person.

[If there is someone next to you, shake their hair.]

-No way. If I die, I’m dead. There’s no way we can sell our executives. The reason I called was because I was wondering what to do.

[Are you going to step forward?]

-Even if we can’t produce 100% firepower, we have the power to save the civilians who are being swept away by the waves here. It’s not Gungi now, it’s ‘Red Rider’.

[That is enough. Don’t overdo it.]

The tactic of combining with archery energy and burning it out cannot be used.

Okay.

Anyway, you just have to fight the way you planned from the beginning.

[And if you ask me what I’m going to do, of course I have to do it the ‘way of association.’]

Everything for world peace.

[If you land on land, the nearby people’s homes will be destroyed, but if you fight at sea, all you have to do is block the waves. Even if you stack up a tangerine barricade, there is a high possibility that it will scatter, so this time, be a ‘hero’ and help out.]

-Yes, then-Ah.

Pop.

The phone was disconnected.

It wasn’t me who hung up, but Yoon Hye-ra hung up in a hurry.

Probably because someone approached me.

[Are you ready, Chaos?]

[of course.]

Chaos came in front of me and placed his hand on my chest.

[Appearance, how?]

[Of course, just like the classics.]

Based on the ‘old censorship materials’ secured from the Jeju Island preservation archive, I will show it to humanity.

[I will definitely show you that fighting a giant is a giant.]

* * *

Seogwipo Port.

“…Hey, I can see it.”

Baek Seol-hee fiddled with her Taegeuk watch as a red, gigantic being slowly began to appear with the naked eye beyond the horizon.

“Why are you doing that? Are you anxious?”

“…Red Rider.”

“Hehe, even Snow White of the world seems to be worried in front of such a huge being.”

“You seem very relaxed, but do you have any confidence?”

“Of course.”

Yoon Hye-ra came up next to Baek Seol-hee and pointed to the surroundings.

“As you saw a little while ago, if there is someone who wants to win that thing for no reason, it will be very difficult, right? And if we fight here, the civilian casualties will be enormous. There are still people who haven’t been able to evacuate.”

“…….”

Baek Seol-hee did not look back, trying hard to hold back her irritated eyes.

Far away at Seogwipo Port, there were some ‘civilians’ who did not leave the port and took pictures while aiming their Taegeuk Watch at the port from afar.

“Once the refugees have taken refuge…”

“The only thing we have to stop is the waves. Maybe.”

“Yes?”

“Slowly. Ah, now.”

Coo coo coo coo.

It started vibrating.

A stronger vibration than the ground shaking from Manaita began to shake the entire Jeju Island.

“What is this magical power reaction…?!”

“Oh my, it looks like the devil can’t stand it even in death.”

From the ground, something began to rise.

A muted, black and heavy thing.

Sea water flowed down from above, and a huge ‘black giant’ with a physique similar to that of a 50m giant appeared.

“…robot?”

“It’s a robot. It’s definitely an ability. That’s just how it looks.”

Staring straight ahead.

With arms crossed.
