Episode 249
‘Why are there such monsters?’
One of Hunter’s eyes was filled with despair, and the other was filled with fear.
North Korea was a kind of ‘clean zone’ for monsters.
Since the population was not large compared to the area and the quality of the hunters was not excellent, the frequency of occurrence of gates was naturally low.
The level of the monsters you face is also mediocre.
To the North Korean hunters who had lived like flowers in a greenhouse, the enemy in front of them was nothing short of a disaster.
humming.
I just simply swung my arm.
If the laws of physics existed normally in the world, half of the hunters’ bodies should not have flown like that.
However, Octiens’s power far exceeded the general law.
Instead of evading or defending, everything his arms touched was destroyed.
“You son of a bitch!!”
Flashing.
Dozens of pure white electricity flew out and hit Octiens’ back.
It was a trump card pulled out by one of the few remaining S-rank Espers.
Its power was much more powerful than the anti-tank guns they boasted of in the past.
Flashing.
however.
Octien, who thought he would at least flinch, paid no heed and went ahead and cleared out the hunters around him.
Even though the blinding lightning was striking countless times, Octien did not blink.
“stop! “You son of a bitch!”
After confirming that his colleague was dead, an A-rank hunter rushed towards Octiens.
“for a moment… … !”
A nearby healer tried to stop him, but it was too late.
Because, to her, it looked like a moth rushing towards a forest fire.
Suddenly.
just as expected.
Before the fists could make contact, Octiens’ long arms grabbed the hunter’s neck.
“Wow… … !”
The hunter’s eyes were half bulged out by the terrifying force.
Octien separated his head from his neck with an indifferent expression.
Okay.
“Tsk… … !”
It was such a cruel sight that even hunters who had experienced many battles avoided their gaze.
But unfortunately, there were terrible scenes everywhere I looked.
The corpses of fellow hunters were shattered and scattered.
People being eaten by monsters in real time.
Screams echoing in the sky and the roar of monsters.
It was a scene for which the phrase ‘the destruction of one’s father’ could not be more appropriate.
“Well… … !”
One female esper let out a cry and poured out a large stream of flames.
The attacks of a higher level esper than himself were useless, but there was nothing else he could do.
I flinch.
“… … ?!”
however.
Octiens, who had been steadily hunting down the hunters, stopped for a moment.
“through… … “Is it?”
Could it be that there is a vulnerability to fire-based attacks?
Hunter, who saw a ray of light in the midst of great despair, shouted urgently.
“flame… … “Pour out your fire skills!!”
All remaining espers fired large and small flames at Octiens.
Maybe this one move will eliminate that mass of disaster.
Hunters had such hopes.
Shu… … .
At the same time, numerous flames broke out, causing acrid smoke to rise.
Naturally, Octiens was not visible.
“Did you get rid of it?”
Someone said something that should never be said, and soon Octiens was revealed.
“iced coffee… … .”
Unfortunately.
Octiens was fine.
The body in his hands burned without a trace, but the common soot was not even present on Myne’s horrifying white skin.
‘Then why on earth?’
Did it react to the fire attack a moment ago?
Only Octiens himself knew the answer.
‘Obviously this feeling… … .’
Octien cleared away the smoke and stared at the door on the other side.

It was only a split second, but I could feel the worrying energy coming from beyond.
Moreover, the monsters near the place where the energy was generated suddenly died.
Octien felt strong curiosity and wariness at the same time.
The movement stopped not because of the flame attack of an A-rank esper, but because of a being that suddenly appeared and disappeared like smoke.
“Run away!!!!!”
A large crowd of people gathered towards the exit where the monsters died.
It was a natural phenomenon as it was the only way to survive.
Octien thought about blocking the entrance, but he quickly stayed in place.
Although they could escape for a moment, there was no longer a place on this earth where humans could survive.
It’s just the difference between dying right now or extending your life for a few more days.
“Damn… … .”
The remaining hunters all had miserable faces.
Just one.
No matter how weak North Korea’s military power was, the nation’s military power was on the verge of being annihilated by just one monster.
Gooooo… … .
Meanwhile, the black dot in the sky gradually increased in size.
It was an area that could no longer be called a dot.
Before they knew it, the black energy had grown to the size of an ordinary gate, eventually blocking out even the sun above them.
“Ugh… … .”
The surroundings suddenly became dark, and each hunter took out a lighting device.
It would be difficult to deal with Octien even in a situation where he could see well, and the situation would be even worse if his vision was blocked.
“I… … excuse me… … .”
Hunter wearing night vision glasses pointed up into the sky.
Hunters without equipment frowned and looked at the direction the finger was pointing.
“what?”
Silhouettes large and small were constantly falling towards the ground.
Thousands, tens of thousands, more entities were coloring the human habitat with their eyes sparkling.
When he realized that it was similar in shape to the monsters blocking the entrance, the hunter wearing the vision glasses was able to intuit it.
“Today is the last day of the people… … .”
It took less than half a day for his empty words to become reality.
* * *
There were two siblings on the large living room sofa.
It was the first time the two of us had time together in a long time.
Leaning his head on Cheon Song-hwa’s lap, Cheon Hae-seon recalled the past.
“Initially… … I didn’t want someone else counting my life. “I wanted to become a strong hunter who wouldn’t be judged by anyone.”
“okay?”
Cheon Song-hwa just smiled and stroked his hair.
TV broadcasts were constantly reporting news that the northern land had fallen into the hands of the Ma people.
The all-out assault of the demon world has finally begun.
It was a crisis on a different level from any other gate that had appeared so far.
Her slender fingers were trembling slightly, but the two siblings were ignoring each other.
“You know what’s funny? As my power gets stronger and there are more people to protect, I start to do calculations in my head without even realizing it. “I ended up resembling the people I hate the most.”
“Hehe. “It’s ironic.”
“Sometimes I get confused. Is the direction I’m taking in right, or is the person I trusted a good person? Also, am I worthy enough for my colleagues to follow me?”
“As your strength has grown, your thoughts have also increased.”
-The deadline for the North Korean regime to respond to the official document requested by WHPO has passed. It appears that there is no one left in the regime to either refuse the WHPO’s support or to answer to it.
There is no way they would refuse support when the country is falling apart.
The opinion was gaining ground that there would be no more living humans in North Korea.
It has literally become a land of death.
-The black clouds that appear in the sky are gradually expanding their area. Umbrella Industries defines the composition of this cloud as dark matter and says that the cloud is gradually heading south.
If you head south from North Korea, there is only one destination.
Cheon Song-hwa’s eyelids fluttered as she brushed Cheon Hae-seon’s hair.
But her voice was still sweet and calm.
“Our handsome Haeseon. “Do you remember what I said before?”
“?”
“You are the warmest person I know.”
“I am indeed. “Is that sound again?”
Cheon Hae-seon laughed.
Even before awakening, when he had red spots all over his body, she would praise him, calling him ‘handsome Haeseon.’
Even the hedgehog thought that the comment that his baby looked pretty was meant for his older sister.
However, to Cheon Song-hwa, her younger brother was not just a hedgehog.
“Once upon a time, a doctor called me aside and spoke to me. “When you were in critical condition, you explained the cause of your sudden worsening.”
“What did you say?”
“Even the doctor said you were too kind.”
“Eh?”
“Every time the poison increases in your body, Haeseon says it gets worse because you don’t let it get out of your body.”
“Is that so? haha. “I’ve been to the underworld more than once.”
“this.”
Cheon Song-hwa lightly tapped his forehead with her small fist.
“I thought he was a bad friend because he was always tickling every time he got treatment. But the more I did the test, the more amazing I felt about you. You said that the reason your body condition is getting worse is because your monster poison level has increased, but the amount of poison excreted from your body has actually decreased. “It seems like he kept the poison in himself for fear of harm to his family or other people.”
“It would be a big problem if my sister became addicted because of me.”
In that case, it would be better to just die with the poison.
This was what Cheon Hae-seon always thought before becoming a hunter.
“okay? But you have never harmed me or anyone else. “Our good Haeseon wasn’t that type of person from the beginning.”
Cheon Hae-seon lifted his head and looked at his sister’s face.
“and. “It looks really ugly from this angle.”
Once again, Cheon Song-hwa tapped his forehead.
A little louder this time.
“Thank you, sister.”
“I tried it, but there are people who like it.”
“no. Thanks to you, I think my mind has become a little clearer. Tskcha.”
Cheon Hae-seon stretched and raised his upper body.
This conversation could be my last with her.
That may be why Cheon Song-hwa also brought up an old story.
“Go forward without hesitation. “Because you are a child who can do that.”
“huh. I will be back.”
Cheon Hae-seon gave a light greeting as if he were returning from work.
It was a greeting that reflected his strong will.
I will definitely return to my one and only family.
Without any trouble, safely.
“Bye.”
Barely holding on to her trembling heart, Cheon Song-hwa also gave a light greeting to her younger brother.
* * *
“oh. “Everyone is already gathered.”
Cheon Hae-seon whistled as he looked at his colleagues crowded together.
“… … “Don’t you think you’re late?”
Sylia’s ears turned red as she looked at his carefree face.
This side gathered hunters from the United States and brought them in, but they didn’t know that the one in Korea would be late for the convening time.
“I had somewhere to stop by.”
“where. “You didn’t go home and say a tearful goodbye to your sister, right?”
“That is also true. “I went to the spirit world and sent out an SOS.”
“ah.”
That reason is completely understandable.
Cylia nodded with that look on her face.
“You said you would help me?”
“huh. “They said they would show that they are faithful, unlike humans.”
“Like a cheeky salamander. Well, it’s good anyway. “If the guardian spirits come, it will be of great help here.”
Cylia turned her head and looked towards Hunter.
The number of hunters gathered at the scene alone was in the thousands.
The number of hunters in other areas or on the move was more than ten times that number.
Finally, the great clash with the demon world was at hand.
“From now on, check the support supplies and personnel every 30 minutes. Whenever hunters from other countries arrive, they report to me. “Go straight to where I tell you.”
“yes.”
Following Cylia’s instructions, WHPO’s employees moved in perfect order.
Although Cheon Hae-seon had visited the spirit world, it was almost impossible for him to fly to the United States and complete all preparations before he arrived.
Leadership that makes the impossible possible.
When she said she would change WHPO, it wasn’t just a rant.
“good. then… … .”
Cheon Hae-seon shifted his gaze from the black clouds in the distance.
Then, he made eye contact with each of the Irregular members and the transcendent level hunter.
On the other hand, I thought of Dr. Jin, who couldn’t come out because of the crowd.
Round and round, the final destination was in front of me.
When I think about the past, the scene before my eyes was truly amazing.
An addicted patient with red spots all over his body suddenly became the hope of humanity.
“Let’s begin.”
Cheon Hae-seon’s pupils turned golden, and Silia soon gave the order to all hunters to sortie.
