Episode 102. Unavoidable Malice (4)
‘What should I do?’
I still don’t know the exact structure of the human body, which makes me even more scared.
Because I couldn’t classify the critical condition that Kang Chang-ho was in before my eyes.
‘Surely this is what happens if an Earthling dies!’
I was startled by the opponent’s loss of consciousness and started to move around in a panic.
To be exact, it was an attempt to pull an S-class out of the wreckage.
.
.
.
But you know… … .
The power of an F-class hunter is no different from that of a passing insect.
‘Huhhhhhhh!’
This is truly crazy and mind-boggling.
You can’t even say no.
You can’t even lift it.
For now, how am I, an F-rank, supposed to move that heavy boulder?
‘While helping me, Earthlings ended up like this… … .’
There were no visible injuries at first, but the heavy debris seemed to be pressing down on his chest, as his breathing had been quiet for some time.
‘If this continues, isn’t something really big going to happen?’
I was frightened by Kang Chang-ho’s shallow breathing and used all means at my disposal.
He tried to pull his opponent out from under the rubble, even if it meant pulling him directly.
“Ugh!”
But even the last attempt had no effect at all. No matter how much he pulled at his protruding arm, Kang Chang-ho would not move at all.
“Please get out… … !”
I finally screamed and mustered up all my strength.
“Get out of here!!”
But, there’s no way that an F-class would suddenly become stronger just by giving them some motivation.
Ugh, ugh.
I took a deep breath, my feet planted on the rocks that were crushing the window. Damn, this wasn’t going to work the normal way.
‘Should I dig down to make some space… … .’
bang!
That was when.
I raised my head with a start at the loud noise I heard again.
Now that I think about it, I was so focused on Kang Chang-ho that I forgot about it for a moment, but this place is in the middle of a city caught up in a dungeon break.
‘Damn! Where else has it collapsed?’
Fortunately, though, this noise doesn’t seem to have anything to do with where I’m standing…
-Click!
I just can’t pass this up.
If you hear a camera shutter sound, it means there are other Earthlings nearby.
‘uh?’
But didn’t the sound just now sound a bit… too close?
I quickly turned my gaze to follow the shutter sound coming from the left.
Then, what you see are several Earthlings with surprised faces.
“what?”
“Did you get in a fight?”
“Ouch! There’s someone down there.”
Groan, groan.
They are presumed to be ordinary citizens who are taking refuge. After all, they are all unawakened.
‘What are you all doing instead of running away?’
For some reason, they looked at me with a timid expression.
Moreover, among them, there was someone who picked up his cell phone and muttered something in an inaudible voice.
So I just listened in for a moment to hear what they were saying… … .
-Tadadak! Tadadak!
“Whoa!”
“Miss, it was here too!”
“Jump!”
The noise that followed stopped me from doing anything.
This was none other than the sound of footsteps announcing the appearance of a new monster.
‘this……!’
The ones who appeared this time were the small Zaras summoned by the big Zara.
But don’t let your guard down just because they’re small. They’re also B-class creatures.
I ran away in a hurry to avoid the little ones.
‘Sorry!’
It was as if Kang Chang-ho had been suddenly abandoned on the road, but there was nothing we could do in these cases.
Shouldn’t the living survive first?

“Gasp, gasp… … .”
A little later.
I pushed the little girl away and leaned against the alley wall, catching my breath.
It’s killing me. What good is a magic tool that increases movement speed? My stamina is really low.
‘Oh my, really… … .’
anyway.
After taking a quick breather, I immediately took out my cell phone.
Kang Chang-ho, who has lost consciousness, will still be trapped at that intersection.
“Hey, at least report it… …!”
I decided to let the emergency workers here know about Kang Chang-ho’s situation.
“Hello? Is this 119?”
Fortunately, even though the city was in this state, communication was still normal.
The operator on the other end of the phone said that after hearing my report, he would send firefighters to the location where Kang Chang-ho was trapped, but the problem was the time they would arrive.
“Huh? You’re saying we’ll have to wait because the reports are piling up?”
But up to here it was okay.
Except for the Imoogi, all the missing bosses were B-class or lower.
‘phew.’
In the current situation, the probability of Kang Chang-ho, an S-class hunter, taking damage from a monster was extremely low.
In the end, all you have to do is keep an eye on that black snake.
‘Then let’s slowly go back to where the windows are.’
Phew.
I left the place feeling refreshed and ready to run again at any time.
But the cell phone was still in his hand.
There’s still work to be done with this thing.
‘Let’s see, now that I think about it, Esther was clearly shown in the video earlier… … .’
Knock knock knock.
I moved my fingers and reached a familiar site.
[(Live Broadcast) ‘Inevitable Malicious’ Hunting Scene!]
Soon, a broadcast of this disaster situation appeared on the screen.
‘oh!’
I checked the relay without hesitation because I thought it was important to gather information especially in these confusing times.
‘Where might Esther be fighting now?’
But, the scene contained in that video was… … .
-Ugh!
-Representative!
-Ahh! What should I do?
-Everyone, don’t touch the head! The head!
A small woman is bitten by a huge snake that is as big as a cave.
She held the snake’s mouth open with her arms to keep it from closing, but her resistance did not last long.
Esther seemed to have reached her limit, and her arms began to tremble.
-No, this is… …. Haha, hahaha!
The sorcerer on the screen burst into laughter with a face flushed red.
-It won’t work!
And with that statement, the snake’s fangs pierced straight through her abdomen.
Boom!
I’m not sure since I’m an alien, but the level of this broadcast is a bit strange.
“aha.”
After checking later, I found out that the video I just watched was not an official broadcast but a private broadcast by a civilian.
So it seems like they showed everything without filtering out even the scenes with blood.
Well, anyway, that’s not important.
Because ultimately, this video means one thing.
‘The S-class hunter lost… …?’
Shockingly enough.
Esther was defeated in the final battle with the Imoogi.
***
[Currently, six high-level hunters wearing curse-resistant equipment, centered around S-class Esther, are out to stop the demons. Therefore, nearby residents should be mindful of this and avoid getting caught up in the Awakened’s skills… ]
When the calm report from the announcer started flowing on TV.
The hunters who were out in the field were literally fighting for their lives against monsters.
“Where on earth is this weakness?”
“Burn it with fire! That seems to be the fastest reaction!”
“Hey, this is totally Jeong Ha-seong’s thing?!”
Throw!
From blazing flames to striking lightning.
The skills that the Hunters unleashed to kill the inevitable evil were so splendid that they brightened up the entire area.
But of all those attempts, the hunter who inflicted the greatest damage on the enemy was undoubtedly this person.
“Hmm, if I do this well, I’ll be able to finish it before Ha-seong even gets here?”
Korea’s S-class hunter, Seo Esther.
Her awakening ability boasted truly terrifying power.
The snake, exposed to the curse of its opponent, has now become a tattered and worn-out creature.
“Grrrrr… … .”
Pus and blood all over his body and rotting eyes.
They looked at the monster, which had suffered considerable damage, and thought that maybe they could really end this situation on their own.
Just for a moment.
“Shaaaaah!”
“uh?”
However, the Imugi that had been barely suppressed using all sorts of items suddenly raised its head and went wild.
And the reason is, to eat up the new symbol he has chosen.
“evil!”
“no!”
The hunter, whose head was marked with a sign, eventually gave in to the snake’s persistent attacks.
It means that it was swallowed by its wide-open mouth.
“Oh my… … !”
It would have been better to ignore the sacrifice of just one person.
In a way, this was Esther’s downfall.
Because she went to extreme lengths to save her swallowed guild member.
Slurp.
Esther took out the [Cursed Sword], a unique item she had brought just in case, and paid the price for it without holding back.
And the action taken with this sharp blade.
“omg!”
“Come on, take my hand and come out!”
Chomp!
Esther jumped into the beast’s jaws and forced its closed mouth open, rescuing the guild members inside.
“Ugh!”
But as I said before, this is Esther’s big mistake.
Because her physical strength was significantly inferior to that of a body-strengthening machine like Kang Chang-ho.
‘No, this crazy snake!’
bang!
Even though its mouth was half-torn, the snake paid no attention and closed its jaw again.
In reaction, Esther shut it up.
This was the scuffle that was the issue that was broadcast on Y-Tube earlier.
“Ouch!”
Also, Esther had no chance of winning, having devoted a large amount of her magical power to the sword in order to save people.
And what we found was the expected result.
Boom!
She was unable to overcome the monster’s bite and her body was pierced.
“Representative!”
“Ahh! What should I do?”
The only good thing was that the snake quickly spit her out because Esther didn’t taste good…
“Sir, are you okay?”
Esther was poisoned by an S-class monster and could no longer continue the fight.
The first battle ended in defeat.
“Ouch, it hurts.”
“Just hold on a little longer! I took the potion, so you’ll feel better soon… …!”
“As expected, beauties often die young. Well, the old saying is not wrong.”
“Don’t talk nonsense even in this situation! Stop it!”
The people who watched this broadcast fell into despair.
Because a person who could be called the symbol of the Korean hunter world was brutally defeated.
[I’ll tell you the breaking news that just came in. The representative of the Korean Tower Guild, Seo Esther Hunter, is in critical condition while dealing with an S-class monster… ]
When the citizens heard the news, they thought for a moment.
(Real-time chat)
[Jung Ha-seong ** What are you doing?]
[The country must be ruined before you can crawl out]
[Please save me]
The disappeared #1 ranking.
If Hunter Jeong Ha-seong had been there, would things have been different by now?
The Hunter usually plays a large role in these large-scale disasters.
Even though the other person was recuperating, it was inevitable that expectations would arise.
[Hey, they say that monsters are weak to fire, so where on earth is Hunter Jeong Ha-seong and what is he doing right now?]
But in fact, the number one ranked person had already taken action a long time ago.
As everyone expected, Jeong Ha-seong chose to go to Seoul without hesitation as soon as he heard the association’s summons.
[According to the association, it will likely take about 15 minutes for Jeong Ha-seong to arrive at the scene.]
Jeong Ha-seong was also doing his best in his own way.
However, there was an absolute problem of long distance.
’15 minutes?’
Fifteen minutes is enough time for an inevitable evil to destroy several buildings.
Besides, doesn’t that monster have the ability to grow by preying on living things?
“15 minutes is a joke? Damn it, this is why you underdeveloped sorcerers can’t even use teleportation magic properly!”
He put down his phone and raised his head nervously.
‘Oh my, my head. Esther has taken care of everything, so now it’s time for someone to take the lead… … .’
It’s a shame.
As you can see from the live broadcast, the snake is currently in a critical condition.
However, he predicted that in the next 15 minutes, the monster would grow to a near-complete transformation. Furthermore, the path of progress was not very good. The Imugi was gradually getting closer to the intersection where Kang Chang-ho was.
A situation that will inevitably get worse if you delay.
‘Yeah. This is something that can be done just by putting a spoon in it… … .’
I was feeling frustrated and suddenly had a thought.
‘hmm?’
Now that I think about it, it’s not like there’s no way to kill the Imoogi right now.
‘Suffocation.’
It’s a bit of a cruel story, but no matter how high the level, in the end, it’s still a living thing.
It means breathing.
So, using his main magic, Golem Control, he gathered up a lot of animal corpses… .
If you fill that prayer full.
‘Should I die?’
It is possible.
The Imoogi’s movements have been greatly slowed down due to its battle with Esther, and its large body makes it easy to target its breathing holes.
“hmm.”
And now it’s finally… … .
I feel like there are a lot of things around that can be used as materials.
