Chapter 98 – Invasion (8)

“There was a reason you called me in such a crazy, rushed way.”

Early morning when the cold air hadn’t gone away yet.

Go Joon-hyeok and his teammates, who had come to work early for an operation that afternoon and rushed after receiving an emergency call, were horrified to hear loud voices, gunshots, and monster cries coming from inside the controlled area.

“stop! Right here…”

“I’m here to help, so let me in, quickly!”

Go Jun-hyeok showed his ID card to the soldier who came running with a gun loaded with live ammunition in a state of panic and asked him to get out of the way.

“Come on, this way!”

The soldier figured out that those who came with him were Awoken, and immediately got out of the way and allowed them into the restricted area.

“We are already fighting in reserve. Please be careful!”

“Did you all hear? Everyone, let’s not overdo it.”

The soldier wearing a sergeant’s rank badge shouted at them as they walked away. He looked at the figure through the rearview mirror and spoke to the people in the vehicle with a nervous face.

Reality is different from creations, so even if you awaken and become a superman, there are very few awakened people who fight at the forefront with conviction and a sense of mission like Lee Ji-yeon.

Even if they offered a huge reward, there were many who refused. Even if they compromised and fought, of course, most of them had a sense of rejection and fear.

“The manager is right. Let’s block it as much as possible and go to the waiting side for support.”

A middle-aged man in charge of their leader opened his mouth in sympathy with Go Jun-hyeok’s words just before getting off the vehicle. All of them knew full well that they couldn’t be heroes, so they really intended to survive by doing the bare minimum.

‘Ha, I can do it. While moderately assisting…’

The same was true of Kim Seo-yoon, the newcomer who joined them yesterday. Living as a girl’s breadwinner since childhood, she chose to fight to support her sick younger brother and help her family in difficult circumstances.

In the midst of that, if you die or get injured, it’s a complete turnaround. He had to survive safely.

“They are coming! Everyone, take your seats!”

The controlled area is the suburbs of the city, where there are only a few roads and buildings. The terrible monsters that appeared there were monsters named Double Jaw Maw, and some of those who attacked the existing Awoken and soldiers snapped their gaping double jaws and attacked the newcomers as well.

‘A real monster.’

Seeing this, Kim Seo-yoon instinctively moved her body and trembled. Until just before, no, until yesterday, the time I spent going to an expensive restaurant for the first time in my life with a down payment from the company, eating and shopping was like a dream.

The sight of the skyscrapers in the city center, where other people are going about their daily lives, and the monsters of hell that try to bite people while drooling their saliva coexist in the distance is truly bizarre.

“Wake!”

Frozen in a dazed state for a moment, she was able to return to reality only when someone struck her on the back of the head.

“Use your strength. If you don’t come to your senses, someone will die and get hurt!”

It was the team leader who struck her in the back of the head. In response to his exclamation, she reflexively manifested her abilities.

[Seal Action]

The moment her mana wriggled, the two-jaw anglers that were running stopped all at once. A grotesque sight of muscular monsters reaching 2m in height, frozen in the same posture as they were running.

However, Seoyoon Kim’s teammates immediately attacked and neutralized them.

“Good job. I’m sorry I hit you in the back of the head.”

“No. Thanks to you, I came to my senses.”

The leader sighed and apologized to Kim Seo-yoon when the enemies whose actions were sealed were easily dealt with. The back of her head still tingled, but she shook her head. Anyway, it is true that her role is important, so the responsibility is also great.

“It’s not over yet. I want to continue wasting time here, but I will join others for now.”

The leader took his teammates and attempted to join the others who were still fighting. The team members, who suppressed their fear with the excitement of battle, started moving according to the command, forming a formation to surround Kim Seo-yoon and protect her.

“Come again!”

“Just do it like this. Stay seated and don’t relax.”

And after that, the battle continued. As cautious as they were fearful, they fought calmly anyway and defeated the monsters. If they continued to fight like this, it seemed that they would be able to block the gate without any other support.

“What is that?”

It was then that monsters other than the two jaws appeared.

“Sah, is it a person?”

It is also a new species that has not been reported to the world so far.

Kim Seo-yoon and the team members raised their tension when they saw the enemy appearing in front of them. Its body is covered in dark brown armor like armor, and it has four hooked feet with sharp spines and blades, resembling a bipedal beetle or beetle.

“The status window…”

“They say they will give you an S-class reward if you catch that guy. How is everyone?”

Everyone who checked the status window was frightened. The newly updated mission is to kill the enemy right in front of you. However, the reward was the highest grade. In other words, the monster that appeared in front of them now was an enemy with a level of difficulty equal to the reward.

“Calm down, let’s all step back. No need to scrape and make crusts 3…”

Their leader was also flustered and tried to push the team members back. But he couldn’t finish talking.

“manager.”

Kim Seo-yoon muttered blankly, blinking at the blood spattering on her face.

A large thorn pierced his neck as he turned his head and told them to retreat. The moment he collapsed with his eyes open and bleeding after his breath was cut off by a single blow, Kim Seo-yoon felt as if time had stopped.

“······all!”

“・・・・・Aww!!”

People’s screams echoed in my deafened ears, and the enemy broke the ground and ran slowly before my eyes. There was no mercy or hesitation in the red eyes that shimmered between the shells, and the hooked arms that began to slash and tear apart the bodies of their colleagues contained only murderous intent, hatred, and anger.

***

“A new species of monster?”

“Yes, unreported anywhere in the world, and powerful.”

Lee Ji-yeon frowned and opened her mouth. Her body was scratched and cut in several places, and was wrapped in bandages. And the area where the battle took place was literally halved.

The asphalt floor was all overturned, more than half of the cafe building collapsed, and thick roadside trees were broken and fallen like branches.

“It’s not usually strong, but this much. It was stronger than any monsters I’ve ever faced. And it was a little different.”

Just then, a young man who had been talking to reporters nearby interrupted our conversation. Named Seo Chang-hyeok, he, like Lee Ji-yeon, is one of the most awakened people in Korea. He fought alongside Lee Ji-yeon and managed to block the enemy, but he ran away beyond the gate without being able to defeat him.

“What do you mean a little different?”

“Well, unlike the monsters who have been recklessly sticking their teeth in, trying to fight a number feels like fighting a human.”

He answered my question with a smile. It’s like fighting a person, that’s a pretty subtle answer. It was a mistake that I couldn’t keep up with Lee Ji-yeon because I noticed the surroundings, and I didn’t see it myself because I was waiting in the back.

“Did you think people would slowly adapt after the sudden gate and dungeon? It looks like this crazy gate is trying to raise the difficulty again, as it has been doing so far. It’s a real big deal when those guys show up frequently.”

“Well, then more people would get hurt and die.”

Lee Ji-yeon was taken aback by his guess. At the same time, my face hardened. Of course, the reason my face hardened was for a slightly different reason.

[Since we have not been able to secure the target, Kim Seo-yoon, what are you going to do now?]

“Think about it… think about it.”

After moving away from them for a while, I called Lucy. Kim Seo-yoon, who was our goal, did not die. Although her teammates have been annihilated, she is still alive and in the hospital anyway, although she has lost both legs and both arms and is unconscious after collapsing from excessive blood loss.

But it probably won’t last long. I already know that the doctor has prepared her family.

“Now the choice is entirely up to us. Lucy, how are your calculations? If Seoyoon Kim, who has already become paraplegic, is recruited as a perfect ally like YuRia, is the cost-effectiveness ratio efficient or inefficient?”

[Calculating.]

Even in the midst of this, I couldn’t judge myself whether I was crazy or not thinking of a way to use her.

[As a result of the calculation, as a result of 54%, it is possible to adopt the hypothesis that Kim Seo-yoon’s acquisition has meaning.]

“Let’s go, to the hospital.”

And finally the result came out. From the beginning to the end, Kim Seo-yoon’s intention was a one-sided result without asking.

***

“…”

This is a large hospital located in Seoul. I found this place alone late at night. Of course, this is not an official visit. Covered in nano Omega, he climbed over the wall in a state of stealth and infiltrated the inside by sticking close to the doctor who was on duty.

I already know where she is. Unbeknownst to anyone, I broke into the intensive care unit and sneaked past her mother, who was asleep exhausted from crying in front of the door, and stood in front of her bed.

Kim Seo-yoon, seeing the real thing for the first time, is a woman with a dwarf physique, wrapped in bandages all over her body.

“Send.”

The moment I looked down at her, my heart wavered slightly, but without hesitation, I ordered Lucy.

In this respect, I tried to follow Lucy’s example and push forward without hesitation.

[Start transmission.]

At the same time, Lucy moved her power. There was no way that Lucy, who also transmits the giant monsters Behemoth and Ireland, could not carry a person who was only 160 cm tall, so soon Kim Seo-yoon left the medical devices attached to her body and disappeared somewhere.

“Wh-what’s going on!?”

“What crazy! The patient is gone!”

Of course, the medical staff who heard the alarm sounds emitted by the medical devices that had lost their owners rushed in. They couldn’t see me hiding in the corner, and they fell into confusion when they saw the empty bed.

Among such people, there is Kim Seo-yoon’s mother who is at a loss. Unable to see his face, I walked through the door and escaped from the hospital.

“Does her mother really want her daughter to survive in this way?”

[As a result of analyzing the data on maternal love, I think it is of course.]

“It seems that there is not enough data yet. Well, I don’t know, and you don’t know yet either.”

Across the night sky, I laughed at the results of Lucy’s clumsy learning and returned home.

Now my part is done, and the baton will be taken over by Lucy, who will be out there.
