Ki-oh-oh! The cry of the Gamecock had shaken Bucheon. The cry shook even the listeners' innermost organs. Their limbs were stiff, and their nausea was rising.

”Wonderful.” It was clear evidence if someone could stand calmly in front of the cry, without any change in complexion, he or she would be an Awakener with Energy rank above B. Even if someone had an Energy rank above B, it would only be possible to relax in front of this fear only from a long distance away.

”Amazing.” Major Oh Se-bum was the only one in Bucheon City that could afford to relax at that distance. At least that was what he thought. He thought that he could afford to see the violence of the Gamecock, which had made Bucheon City a hell.

He had a horn-shaped glass in his hand. It was an object with a dragon engraved on its outer shape after chipping the jade into a horn shape. It was a thing that could only be seen in a museum. But now it was wasted even being in a museum.

”Very good.” Major Oh, who held the object in his hand, began to smile brightly.

'Mr. Mao gave us the right thing. I'm sure most of the Chinese relics are there, and from the point of their view, this is nothing. Even more, considering their situation…'

One of the two men, who were shaking around Major Oh, said cautiously in a trembling voice, ”Is that really okay?”

”What?”

”Even if we do this—”

”What's wrong with this? There is no proof. Even if there's evidence, there is no problem. They can't threaten the Capital Defense Command after they have a problem. I am not sure they'll get a chance to do so against that monster.”

The subordinate shook his head to Major Oh, who spoke out without hesitation. ”Well, it's not… this monster could come to Seoul, couldn't it?”

”Oh, that.” Major Oh realized that he had spoken out with a bad guess, and said with a funny smile, ”We can kill it then, or we can lure it back to Sejong City. We've lured it here, and it's not a big deal to lure it back to another place.”

Major Oh closed his mouth to prevent his own intentions coming out. 'It's not bad to bring this monster to Seoul at this time, and I'll be in a good position once again. If not, there's no harm to me because there's a monster like this in the vicinity of Seoul.'

”So don't worry.” Major Oh, who was about to point his telescope at the Gamecock with his last words, suddenly looked back with a puzzled expression.

The other two men also turned their heads, shaking without hesitation. But there was nothing where the three turned their heads. ”Is there a problem?”

Major Oh shook his head. ”No, I must have been mistaken.”

Ki-oh-oh-oh! In a blink of an eye, the Gamecock that made a tank into a mop shook the city of Bucheon. Everything alive stopped breathing at the sound, and all movement stopped.

Only one person, Bang Hyun-wook, was moving alone in a situation where everyone stopped breathing and their movement stopped. He was even walking toward the Gamecock.

'Oh, shit.' At this moment, he chewed his curse like gum.

'I'm crazy.' There was a word in his mind that said regret.

'Why…' He almost died. He was trying to attract it, but he was caught in its golden beak, and he was thrown through the building.

It was like a human being holding a frog and throwing it at a wall. His whole body was crushed. That was about an hour ago. He was saved from death. But now he was walking toward the Gamecock.

'What am I supposed to do?' It was something he had to regret. He knew that facts better than anyone else.

'Damn it.' At this moment, he was recalling his whole life. His days of living had passed. His days passing by were days of regret. It was a life full of baseball, but he could not become the baseball player he wanted to be. He lacked ability and effort. But on the contrary, it made him walk.

'Yes, it wasn't a very nice life anyway.' There would be no big difference if there was one bigger regret for the days regret had been stamped on. 'I will just run away. I don't have to fight, and I can't fight. To Gwangmyeong City, or Gimpo City… I will just run away.'

Soon afterward, his memory reached a meeting with Kim Tae-hoon after his school days, which was dominated by baseball. Bang recalled the day when he met Kim at a large store on December 31, 2016. 'Even if I am not a baseball player, I can still leave behind my best results. A school named after me might be built in Bucheon.'

”Ha ha!” The half-year of experience since he met Kim was the most intense and desperate. It was worth it.

”OK.” Only then did Bang, who had resolved himself, step out without hesitation. Soon after, he stood in front of the Gamecock looking for a new target.

On the stretching road, he stood in a place the Gamecock could run to, and he shouted, ”I am Barry Bonds Bang Hyun-wook of Bucheon High School! Come on!”

Before the cry was over, it was already running toward Bang. Kwoong-kwoong-kwoong!

He looked at it running as sleekly as an ostrich and turned around. He ran. Only then, he could see groups appearing behind his back. 'Huh?'

Neigh! He could see animals of golden smoke behind him, with the Horse Figure Type Earthenware in front.

”Aahhhh!” At that moment, his feet twisted, and he fell straight ahead.

Neigh! A clay horse jumped over his fallen head, and the animals of golden smoke followed behind it. He turned his head as he got up in a hurry.

Ki-oh-oh!

He saw that a fierce battle was beginning to emerge.

Ki-oh-oh! The first thing, which the Gamecock ran at with a shriek, was the Horse Figure Type Earthenware. The call of the Gamecock was powerful enough to create cracks in the clay body of the Horse Figure Type Earthenware.
