406 – Total Bombardment (2)

The angel’s airstrike.

“Ah! What the hell is happening!”

“Kyaaah! In the sky, mon, mon, monsters!!!”

It was a huge disaster that did not exist in the original work.

The angels, who until now had been coming little by little, were suddenly launching an all-out attack at once.

In almost all the cities around the world where people live, wherever people are, the angels appeared.

As they densely filled the sky, they invaded this world.

Naturally, the place I was in was no exception.

“Big brother! Big trouble..!”

In the heart of Seoul.

Underneath, I was looking up at countless angels that appeared and covered the sky.

Damn it.

“Ugh, aahhh! Everyone, hide!!”

“What the hell is going on!!!”

People start running away in surprise.

Amidst the chaos, I frantically analyze the situation.

…Angels have begun launching a full-scale attack out of nowhere, unlike in the original work. Why? Was this why the attacks had been few until now?

No, that’s not it. However, if attacks of this magnitude are happening all over the world right now… it doesn’t make any sense. It’s not a matter of reducing the number of attacks for a few days. It’s impossible for the Sun God to have this much power.

Then what the hell is it?

My thoughts…

They abruptly ended because of the nausea I felt.

“Ugh…”

With the sudden pain in my heart making me wince, I clutched my chest and staggered.

Meanwhile, Seoeun and Subin, alarmed, shake my arm and urge me.

“Brother, what are you doing! Run away quickly!”

“Dain, let’s go…!”

The situation was not good.

No, this could be considered a life-threatening situation.

In a situation where there are no users even around us, hesitant under the angel’s attack, Subin, Seoeun, and I, who have no abilities, were left alone.

However.

Despite this, we have not been in grave danger yet.

“Ugh… Yeah, got it. Everyone, grab my hand.”

I have the highest specialty for running away in such emergency situations.

Because I have teleportation.

With a throbbing headache, I took their hands.

Seoeun and Subin clinging to my arms on both sides…

…It was shortly before the angels’ forces arrived on the ground, but that was not a big issue. All I had to do was teleport to the underground shelter.

I wanted to summon the Halo right away, but it wouldn’t be of much help when they are from the same category of angels and have inoperable attacks.

‘…Even if it’s a bit of a push, I should teleport directly to the association.’

With this thought, I tried to teleport as it is.

That moment.

I felt a tearing pain inside me.

Along with almost choking pain, I felt something was going wrong.

With that strange feeling, as we moved our bodies at the same time,

“Cough…”

-Thunk.

A Loud noise, rumbling.

“Kyaaah!”

“Da, Dain? Are you okay?”

How far did we travel? I couldn’t even reach my target, the underground shelter. Instead, I was thrown onto the streets, my body hitting the pavement hard.

I feel dizzy.

All I feel is that.

After rolling on the ground, I put effort to stand up… maybe it was to protect them that I fell first. Feeling the blood streaming from my head, I waved my hand to Seoeun and Subin, who were approaching me with a mix of worry and confusion, signaling that I was okay.

…No, that’s what I intended to do.

“Ugh. I’m, okay…cough.”

Suddenly, I vomited out a mouthful of blood.

Feeling the sticky blood on my hand, I realized I had spat it out.

“Cough, cough.”

At the same moment, my vision blurred for a second.

“Oh, brother! Are you okay? Ah, no…Wake up!”

“Dain… Dain? What on earth…No, we need to treat this immediately…”

“Ah…”

Holding onto my churning stomach,

Without realizing it, I had dropped to my knees again.

“”Arrr!””

I held onto my fading consciousness, listening to the screams of the angels above and feeling the taste of blood trickling down my lips.

What in the world is happening?

… Why has this happened?

Indeed. Should I have anticipated this happening ever since the angel’s attack ceased?

No, still, I had certainly prepared. But out of all times, why does the attack come when I’m alone with no ability user by my side?

… Could they have known everything all along? Targeting when I’m at my weakest?

No, this must be a delusion.

“Cough.”

After coughing out one more mouthful of blood, I barely clung onto my fading consciousness.

Regardless, I’ve made a mistake now. The angels are getting closer, and for some reason, my body is becoming unstable rather than stronger.

Damn it. Star God. Are you mocking me until the end?

Mumbling this inside, I managed to pull myself together.

“…Seoeun, cough, Seoeun, Subin. You must… must run away first.”

“Dain, what on earth are you talking about!”

“…Brother, stop talking nonsense and run away quickly!”

With these words, Seoeun and Subin were supporting me.

Everyone else had already fled, and only we were left in the street due to a teleportation error.

‘We don’t have time for this…’

The angels are flying right above us now, casting shadows everywhere.

At this rate, it looked like we might all meet a gruesome end.

…There’s nothing left to do then.

Once more, summoning the last bit of strength…

“”Arrr!!!!””

In the midst of the angels’ screams resonating above, I attempted my last teleportation.

And.

The result was a failure.

Clatter, clatter.

…I failed to get to the association, let alone bring Seoeun and Su-bin with me. I had managed to move about 50 meters on my own before collapsing on the ground.

From a distance, Seoeun and Suh-bin watched me in dismay.

“Ah…”

And already.

It was a timeout.

“Arrr!!!”

The angels coming at us with golden spears above our heads.

From noble mtl dot com

I blankly stared at them, filling the sky, leaving no empty spaces, like countless birds. They descended upon us, filled with intent to kill.

How did it come to this?

Before my eyes.

Su-bin who was solemnly taking out a gun from her waist while looking upwards.

And Seo-eun who had summoned a small robot with her smartphone looked like a dream.

…I also have a tentacle suit with Behemoth capabilities at my disposal for resistance… but how long can we hold on with that?

There are tens, hundreds, thousands of angels just in sight.

Are we going to lose everyone like this?

Lose both Seo Eun and Soo Bin here… just like this, in vain? Without doing anything?

Yes, it was always a fragile world, wasn’t it?

‘……’

I gritted my teeth.

Even in a situation like this, my pathetic ability is utterly useless until the end.

Just like this, just like this… let everything slip away.

Half-collapsed like this.

Feeling the angels waving something at me from above, I quietly closed my eyes.

Just like this, let it end.

Here, doing nothing, losing everyone I’ve protected so far.

Thump.

When I first landed in this world and realized the two abilities I possessed, I was greatly concerned. With these weak abilities, I wouldn’t be able to withstand the rapidly-changing power inflation… No, with this power, I wouldn’t be able to protect this world.

That’s why, when I realized I couldn’t protect this world with my power, I gathered others. Because I was weak. To use the power of those who could protect everyone more strongly than me.

And that plan was quite successful. After all, I passed three branches without any major sacrifice.

However, my power.

Until then, there was still no growth.

Thump.

‘…Stop kidding yourself.’

Damn it, I’m also someone with the power of a star.

So shouldn’t I at least be able to protect those beside me?

Even if it costs my life.

Please.

Give me strength too.

Thump.

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump.

Click.

“”Arrr!”””

That’s what I was thinking.

I opened my eyes quietly.

And then, before my eyes.

-……

As if someone pressed the slow button.

I saw time passing slowly.

The imminent sight of Seo Eun and Soo Bin about to be swallowed by the wave of descending angels from above.

Likewise, the chilling sensation that I felt on my neck.

In a world that seems to have turned black and white.

Feeling all this, I calmly reached out to them.

And then.

As if the life force within me was burning up.

In the slowed-down time.

Shreeek

From the hand I stretched out, a black light burst out.

Threads that spur out in countless numbers like black strings.

Those threads spread rapidly toward all the angels in the slowed-down time.

Thwack. Thwack. Thwack. Thwack.

Those black, squid-like threads of light pierced the hearts of the angels, one by one.

Like a black tree being drawn in a watercolor painting growing from my hand.

One by one, the countless branches spread out, piercing the angels’ hearts.

This thin and twisted thing, which is so black that it’s indistinguishable from light, spreading out like this…

Is like the last flame being ignited as black blood oozes out of my body.

Thus, the sky was adorned with black trees.

The moment when it seemed like all the angels were strung up like a spider’s web.

Then.

Time started to flow again.

Angels that filled the sky fell like leaves.

“””Krarrr!”””

Among the countless angels falling like rain with their final breaths.

I was still standing dazed, dripping blood from my head and sitting on the ground, with the stems of the black light stretching out of my hands.

So, after that.

“Igh…”

I vomited blood from my mouth like crazy, then fell to the ground.
