Chapter 50 - Squeak! (1/2)

Squeak!

“You weren’t supposed to come here. What’s wrong?” the woman muttered in a desperate voice.

She was half-crying, and her legs were broken entirely as she leaned her back against a gray wall.

“Don’t say that. I have come to rescue you,” the man who appeared said.

He kept messing with the defensive coat he was still wearing, but he didn’t think the coat had already stopped working, and it wouldn’t work again.

“Why are you going through this hell!”

The woman screamed.

Because of the desperate situation, she shouted even when she cried.

She might have heard the sound of a monster, and she looked out into the small gap in the window.

Beyond that, the stems of monstrous plants were devouring every building they found.

When she didn’t seem to have noticed any coming here, she sighed with relief and grinned at the guy still here.

This wasn’t something that could be solved simply by a few high-ranking Awakeners.

The monsters appearing from the gate were going out of control.

When it appeared, there were only a few monsters, but at this moment, the entire city was filled, and the number was increasing at a tremendous speed.

Killing one brings in three, and killing two brings in a group of them.

“I was completely deceived. They only asked for more time. How are we going to give them time against these creatures?”

It was useless to wield a sword against them.

She closed the doors and windows, and she hurriedly hid inside the building—she didn’t know when they would rush inside.

It was silent, and there was a dark shadow in front of the room.

But, of course, it was only for a while, and a loud quarrel was heard outside.

Perhaps it’s the sound of her other co-workers dying.

Squeak!

A mouse jumped on top of her while her head was bowed, her hand covering it.

It was a pet rat, as it did not have an unpleasant smell.

It seemed to have come with its companions to avoid monsters.

“It’s dangerous here. You come on too,” she laughed at herself while talking to the animal.

The mouse stared at the woman’s face and shook its head as if to show that it was even able to understand her.

While the two Awakeners were curiously looking at the window, one wall broke, and something came in.

Quang!

As C-ranked veteran Awakeners, they quickly reacted and picked up the sword.

But its speed was much faster.

The intruding monsters caught both of them in an instant.

However, their bodies were not torn or crushed.

“What’s going on……?” Two confused men and women looked around.

A big bird was carrying them, and it was flying in the sky.

There were even dozens of birds carrying people as they flew in the city’s sky.

After confirming that the two Awakeners had been removed from the scene, Il-Hyun talked in the communicator.

“I’ve removed all living people here.”

—That’s good, but the plants have already eaten half of the city! You might be late for handwriting.

“There is not much time left,” Il-Hyun said as he checked his watch’s GPS.

There were monsters to deal with on time.

It was impossible to respond immediately in the initial stage, so it was unreasonable for the 5th team leader alone to deal with all of the monsters that were coming in the current situation.

Four positioned coordinates were shown.

After Il-Hyun confirmed, one of them disappeared.

Only two people were dispatched to the scene because they were busy, and Il-Hyun tried to head to another location.

Goo Goo!

Without a sign, suddenly, the floor shook.

As he stepped close to the center where the gate appeared, the places he stepped on became large stems.

And in all kinds of places, a myriad of different creatures stood up.

Kiek!

Sharp cries, and thorny stems poured all over him.

However, Il-Hyun struck the stems flying without any effort with his sword.

From the sharply cut skin of the monsters, green body fluids spouted everywhere.

However, Il-Hyun summoned the Phoenix right away without any thought of continuing the fight and soared into the sky.

When he saw any, he had no intention of dealing with monsters who are increasing several times faster at the same time.

He looks downward, and as the altitude increased, the city was covered with a green light.

Plants multiplied at the edges quickly, expanding their range.

Il-Hyun, who quickly descended to the ground, landed on the floor and canceled the summon.

He looked around.

Here too, the stems had covered everything, but they weren’t rushing and were less toxic and quieter compared to other places.

However, Il-Hyun glanced and saw the Ether flowing underneath them—he raised his sword and smashed down.

Swish-Bang!

His feet fluctuated as if the entire terrain he was on was moving.

The stalks got smashed away until several buildings that were covered by the plants.

The mass of vines that revealed itself shook like a living heart.

In addition, other monsters appeared and encircled the heart that was violently beating in the restless body.

The monsters were crowding from all sides to protect it.

However, no matter how many vines there is, one attack was enough for Il-Hyun to kill it.

A little wolf shook its head in his arms.
