The noisy restaurant quickly became silent. The customers’ eyes were nailed into the TV screen.

A black pillar appeared at some point.

The black tower, which appeared naturally as if it had existed from the very beginning, soared into the sky tearing clouds.

At the same time, they wondered if there was a black spark in the air, and monsters started to fall. Like a ripe fruit that couldn’t bear its weight and fall off.

The problem was that these numbers weren’t just one or two.

What was reflected on the screen was seemingly hundreds of demonic beasts or monsters flooding in waves.

[Aah, aaargh!]

The reporter on the TV screamed and began to run for his life. The same went for the cameraman.

After throwing the camera that he held, the scene of the two running away was captured on the screen.

As for the camera that laid on the ground.

[Crrr…..]

[Kwajik!]

It was crushed by the foot of the approaching monsters.

The TV screen started to make cracking noises. Only then did the customers start coming to their senses.

“Hey, what’s going on?!”

“It’s just in Hwaseong, right? If it’s in Hwaseong, it’s down here too?”

With a mixture of urgency and concern, people grabbed their cell phones. To talk to family members or acquaintances on the phone.

“Brother?”

Do-joon also woke up with a stiff face. It didn’t happen in Seoul. However, he doesn’t know when it might come here either.

Speaking of which.

Clinnnk!

“Aaargh!”

Suddenly, the glass of the shop shattered and monsters rushed in.

An old man sitting by the window screamed in horror. The first thing that moved among the surprised customers was…..

Do-joon.

Shluk!

He took out a spear and pierced the forehead of the monster. Half of the beast’s head flew away in just one shot. Blood splattered in the air swept over the customers.

“Uh, ah……”

A man who can’t say anything and trembles to the thick bloody smell that blows through his nose.

Thwack!

Leaving such a man behind, Do-joon kicked the monster aside. Before jumping out through the broken window.

“This… … .”

His face hardened rapidly.

As in Hwaseong earlier, black sparks rose through the air and monsters fell from the skies.

Kalish asked from the spear he was holding.

― What’s going on here?

“I don’t know either.”

It was an answer without any lies. Why did monsters come out when the roots didn’t even appear?

Such questions dominated the mind, but Do-joon soon shook his head to shake it off. What he needed now was not a worry but an action.

‘Not as many as in Hwaseong.’

Hwaseong’s disaster, which seemed to be hundreds or thousands at first glance. However, now, only one or two of them were falling here and there.

One or two monsters are nothing to hunters.

However, the ripple effect was different whether the one was in the dungeon or in the middle of the city.

In a dungeon, a monster that would normally be a piece of cake could cause extreme chaos if it appears in the center of a city.

“Argh! What’s this?”

“Run to the shelter!”

Ppang ppang ppang-!

In fact, the streets were crazy right now. The cars were congested with people running away in between.

People who were trying to run away by car soon abandoned the car and started running on foot.

In the meantime, one or two monsters appeared, kicking and beating around the road.

“Citizens! The shelter is this way! Please evacuate to this side!”

Police and firefighters were seen inducing citizens in several places. They evacuated citizens to nearby shelters.

Since the appearance of the roots, numerous shelters have been built everywhere.

They were constructed generously, supported by the government with huge taxes on hunters.

“…….”

A huge flow. In the waves of people to escape from the monsters.

In the middle of it, Do-joon was nailed like a stone statue.

And soon.

Do-joon began to go up against the flow.

‘No car. It’s faster to run.’

The mana torn into ten strands permeated Do-joon’s feet and legs. Let’s kick the ground in that state.

Quang-!

As the asphalt crumbled like a small explosion, Do-joon’s new figure soared.

“Bro-, brother!”

He could hear Hwang Hyun-woo singing from behind. However, there was no time to answer.

“So-eun!”

Because he had to find his daughter right away.

* * *

“What? An army of monsters appeared in Hwaseong?”

“It’s more than 1,000 units that have been roughly confirmed!”

A building containing Mir, one of the four major guilds.

In the office on the top floor, Shin Yu-seong jumped from his seat and stood up.

“An official letter has been urgently sent from the government. Each guild has been asked for cooperation.”

“Send the kids right now!”

“Don’t you think we need to negotiate with the government first?”

Shin Yu-seong hardened at the words of his subordinates and looked at him. The spirit from Shin Yu-seong began to cover the entire office.

In the midst of that, the subordinate opened his eyes wide and began to bump his teeth.

“You… You’ve been around since the days of the Priesthood, right?”

“Yes, yes. That’s right.”

Is this how a frog in front of a snake feels?

Unable to stop shaking his body, his subordinate struggled to answer.

Shin Yu-seong’s eyes narrowed at that answer.

“There is no more the Priests Association with that heavy ass. Did you forget what I emphasised when I reorganised this place into Mir?”

“Oh no!”

Shin Yu-seong’s speech when the name of the Korean Priest’s Association was abandoned and a new guild called Mir was established.

― Remember it clearly. The fact that if we move a minute late, one more person will die.

The subordinate’s face went pale. He just thought it was obvious. It’s supposed to be a script that one of the secretaries wrote in moderation for publicity purposes.

But that wasn’t it.

A subordinate who realized his mistake. All he had to do now was one thing.

“Uh, how many should I send?”

Before an apology, show it through action.

“All the kids who are left behind! Get the helicopter ready!”

“Okay!”

After Shin Yu-seong glared at his subordinate one last time, he quickly left the office.

Tap tap tap tap.

The sound of his footsteps echoing in the hallway represented his urgency.

Shin Yu-seong arrived at the rooftop by elevator. There was already a helicopter, ready to start.

“Guild Master!”

Just as he was about to get on the helicopter, another subordinate came up to the roof and called out to him.

He looked back and asked, stepping on the helicopter.

“What’s the matter?”

“It seems that monsters are appearing not only in Hwa-, Hwaseong, but also all over the country!”

Shin Yu-seong’s brow furrowed at the news that became even worse than before. He gave instructions quickly, grinding his teeth.

“Call the deputy head of the guild! Don’t follow me and control other regions!”

“Yes! All right! Then in Hwaseong… … .”

“That place is important, but other areas should not be neglected either. Send the extra manpower to Hwaseong.”

“Well, will it be okay? The scale of the disaster in Hwaseong right now is the greatest ever!”

Shin Yu-seong boarded the helicopter. Then he looked at the subordinate below and spoke.

“It’s okay. I’m going to Hwaseong.”

Still, after leaving a message to move quickly because he needed a hand, the helicopter carrying Shin Yu-seong began to fly.

* * *

“Die bast*rd!”

C-class hunter, Jang Hyuk-soo, swung a large hammer and blew away the attacking monster.

Whoosh!

A small dinosaur-like beast flew far away with a dull sound.

“It felt good this time! Why did that fu*king thing interrupt in between!”

He swung the hammer, spitting out a cry of anger.

The woman he met this time was really nice. The conversation went well, and above all, she was the prettiest woman he had ever been introduced to.

The other person didn’t hate it either, so he was going to apply for an after-party after a good day.….

‘I’m sure evacuation was done well, right?’

A situation that occurred suddenly.

He was the one who led the woman and the nearby residents to the building where the shelter was located. And he remained, guarding the entrance and dealing with monsters.

‘It’s okay. But I’ve shown great performance, so this time it’s going to be alright.’

Jang Hyuk-soo, who was thinking comfortably because he didn’t know the situation in Hwaseong yet.

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

While he was dealing with dinosaur-like beasts, suddenly.

“Kra-la-la-la-la-la-la!”

A scary sound from behind.

Jang Hyuk-soo hurriedly turned around. Then he saw that a beast, who was even bigger than the others, was opening his mouth wide toward him.

“Ah… … .”

His mouth slowly opened. He reflexively swung the hammer, but the speed was horribly slow. His hands suddenly became heavy.

The beast whose eyes were curved as if laughing at him.

At that time.

Whik! Whoops!

Something seemed to pass by, and the upper body of the beast exploded.

In shock, Jang Hyuk-soo fell on his butt.

“Wha-, what?”

When he raised his head, he saw a human-like figure moving away in an instant. A strange human figure holding two short and long spears in both hands.

Only then did the situation enter his mind.

In a situation where he was attacked and nearly eaten, a high-ranking hunter passed by and saved him.

“I-, I’m alive…….”

Mumbling with a blank face, he stroked his chest.

Do-joon ran while stepping on the traffic light. With every step on the ground, his body flew forward.

Zing Zing!

A vibration went off then. Do-joon took his cell phone out of his chest and looked at the screen.

– Sia: I’ve arrived at the academy!

A message from Siewellin. Do-joon asked her to go to So-eun quickly when he left earlier.

― Who is it from? The clerk lady?

“Yes. I think she has arrived at the place where my daughter is.”

― You must be a little relieved.

Do-joon shook his head.

Of course, it was much better than when there was no one, but it was still far from the feeling of relief.

Do-joon ran without slowing down. In the meantime, he threw thunderbolts at the monsters he could see from time to time.

Of course, as long as his steps are not delayed.

― It seems that monsters have appeared all over the city.

“That’s right. The cause is still unknown.”

He saw another monster in the distance. However, Do-joon turned a blind eye to the monster. Since no one was getting attacked right away, and the distance was too far.

Suddenly, Kalish asked.

― Your daughter has that clerk lady with her now. Can’t you go around saving people?

“… … What do you mean?”

― It’s literally what I mean. You are strong. It’s still not enough in my eyes, but it’s much better than all other sorts of people. If you go, won’t you be able to save many people?

“Is that the right thing to do?”

― It’s not a matter of right or wrong. It’s a matter of choice. Won’t you regret it later?

When he said those words, Kalish’s tone had a strange reverberation that was different from usual. Do-joon asked back, frowning.

“Is it based on your experience?”

― ……Maybe. I don’t remember anything, but it suddenly came to mind.

There are many cases in which people who have lost their memories, got back their memories through past actions or experiences.

What part of Kalish’s lost memory did his actions stimulate now?

However, in any case, the answers and actions he would say now were fixed.

“That could be a more noble and righteous thing to do, but……. I’m far from that kind of noble, Kalish.”

―…….

He kicked the ground once again. There was no hesitation in that step.

And finally, he started to see it far away.
