76 Episode 76 - A Gamecock, Part II (2/2)

When he decided to abandon Bucheon and flee to Yeongjong Island, he felt like cutting bones.

For him, the sudden collapse of Incheon Bridge destroyed the heart, not the bones.

'I'll pay you back somehow.' Of course, Incheon Bridge could not have collapsed suddenly. However, when the Incheon Bridge collapsed, his evacuation plan was inevitable. Everything on the way to the Incheon Bridge was returned to the port of Incheon, and he managed to find a boat and started to travel by boat.

However, the movement speed was in many ways slower than being on the road. Eventually, time was needed, and he had to force the sacrifice of someone in the Mac Guild to make it happen. This was why the Mac Guild soldiers and hunters had risked their lives against the blue-grade monster in Bucheon.

'Fuck, damn it…' Of course, the current battle situation and damage in Bucheon City were reported to Jang. It was the same again.

A man ran to Jang to report the situation. ”Well, er, er…”

Beyond the urgency, Jang felt that someone had carved into his back with a sharp sword and cut him halfway through, all from the face of a man who had nearly run himself to death.

'Maybe?' He had a hunch about what the coming news would deliver, and what the secret information was.

”What's going on?” So, the question Jang was now asking in a quiet manner was not a question to satisfy his curiosity. It was prayer. It was an earnest attempt to hope that his intuition was wrong.

”Bang Hyun-wook has been seriously injured.” But the reality had always been more brutal than Jang might think. At the cruelty, he covered his face with his hands.

”Well, um…” It was something that should never be shown.Even if others shouted for despair, he had to show his strength. But in the face of this miserable reality, he couldn't help himself.

'Boss…' He really couldn't help it. And it was the same for everyone there.

7.

There was a ten-story building, and a huge mysterious bird was standing on it.

Chicken. It was definitely a chicken. But it was not possible to explain its presence with the concept of the word chicken. Its height from head to foot was over twenty meters, and the length of its body was well over fifteen meters.

Its black and red feathers were also strong. The two-colored feathers glistening with oil were so brilliant that they reminded people of a well-prepared blade. Just touching the chicken's body seemed to cut through bones and flesh.

Its golden beak was also overwhelming. Anything, even steel, could be torn to paper. The chicken's crest, which was made from flames burning atop it, was not only bizarre but also sacred. But most of all, the overwhelming thing were the blue eyes between the blazing chicken crest and the golden beak.

A Gamecock.

Something, which also had a long beak, attempted an attack on the monster, which was made for nothing but fighting.

Bang! The thing with a long beak was a K1 tank. The cannon from the tank shook the ground and headed for the Gamecock above the building.

Bang! The shell went into the Gamecock… but no one was happy with the fact.

”Hit! The faces of those who were on the tank were hardened in the report of the tank driver who said 'hit'.

”We are just going to die.”Although a tank was a powerful weapon that a creature dared not fight against, at this moment tank soldiers did not have much inspiration at the power of the weapon. The reason why was shown by the monster they were facing.

Ki-oh-oh-oh!

A Gamecock on the top of the building, which was hit by the shell, crowed. It was not the death cry of an injured and dying animal, but the threat of an angry beast.

”Ugh!” The threat instantly distorted the faces of everyone in the tank.

”Ugh! Eyes, eyes…” Tears started to flow as the small veins of their eyes burst, and their eardrums burst and they could not hear anything.

Some people vomited blood. But the worst thing was that at that moment their bodies froze and wouldn't move. There was not even a tremor. Everyone just stiffened up like mannequins. The tank stopped where it was.

The Gamecock began to run toward the tank. The Gamecock narrowed the distance of hundreds of meters with a single flap of its wings and a couple of runs, pecked down at the tank with its golden beak.

The tank's armor began to tear like a sheet of paper. The Gamecock pecked again at a tank soldier who had been revealed.

Pook! The huge golden beak cut the upper body of a tank soldier in half. There was no scream. The fear of the Gamecock took away even the minimum right to scream in pain. In that ridiculous fear, the only thing that could move were Awakeners with a high Energy-rank.

”Come on, move quickly!” It was at that time that a group of Awakeners began to move. While a tank bought them a few minutes, a group of people went into the building.

”Here!” There were other groups inside the building that went in. At the center of the group was a man lying like a corpse. It was Bang Hyun-wook

”Hyun-wook!” It was Ahn Sun-mi, who still had freckles on her nose.

”He is not conscious.” Ahn's cry was answered by someone else instead of Bang. Ahn confirmed the pupil response after forcing Bang's eyelids open.

”He's fainted. What's the damage?”

”That monster grabbed Bang and threw him at the building. After hitting the wall, he fell from the fifth floor.

”How many recovery pills did you feed him?”

”Seven, we fed him everything we had.”

Ahn Sun-mi took the IV out of her bag right after the conversation. ”Put it all in four limbs.”

”Yes.”

Inside it was a liquid made from a glass of Therapy, a tube filled with the liquid.

The needle connected to the supply was plugged into Bang's limbs. The injected healing fluid began to hover all over his body, mixing with Bang's blood.

”With his Strength, Defense, and acquired abilities, he should recover in about three minutes.”

He started to recover at a tremendous speed, surprising the viewers. However, Ahn did not breathe out a sigh of relief. He would certainly recover. The crushed bones would harden, and the torn flesh would mend.

However, it would not be a miracle for him.The moment he recovered from his injury, he would fight in order to gain time against a crazy monster who turned a tank into a piece of paper.

There was no guarantee that he would survive the next time. Ahn Sun-mi felt miserable about this fact.

Ki-oh-oh-oh! At that moment, the Gamecock again crowed loudly throughout Bucheon.

”U-eup!”

”Uhhh!”

Even though it was a sound spreading from a distance from the building with Bang and Ahn, and even though they were in the building, everyone fell to the floor, tottering. Only one person came alive at the sound.

”Ugh…” Bang, who looked like a corpse, opened his eyes. He came to his senses and immediately raised his upper body. At the same time, he checked the needles on his limbs.

”Sister Sun-mi, you are here.” At his words, she just blinked from the floor instead of answering.

He breathed a long sigh at the sight and got up from his seat, pulling out the healing needles stuck into his body.

Ppu-deu-deuk! There was an eerie sound from his body. He was attacked by horrible pain. However, instead of screaming at the pain, he looked for his weapon by turning his head.

After finding the Bell-tail of the Bell-tailed Rat, he took hold of it and turned to leave the building, leaving behind the people who had fallen on the floor.

Ahn shouted at the sight. 'What are you doing?'”Maaaa…” But her paralyzed tongue failed to cry out, and she could only make a pathetic gutter.

Nevertheless, he understood the nonsense, and said briefly, ”I have to buy time until big brother gets here. If that monster goes to Incheon, it is over. I'll try to lure it some way. It's okay. I just got a rough feeling.”

The rough feeling came back, but it was not true. ”The fifth batter and third pitcher of Bucheon High School, Bang Hyun-wook, is coming, you monster!”

It was the evidence that he, who knew the facts better than anyone, had brought up his fighting spirit once again. ”Yiyaaaaaaaaaaap!” After lifting his fighting spirit once again, he stepped out of the building.
