It was a twilight morning, when the sun had not yet risen. The Allied garrison was in the midst of preparations for battle.
Everyone kept their mouths shut. Literally, it was a battle against monsters who performed all kinds of strange tricks. I don’t know when or where I will die.
“Look over there.”
A senior soldier, who was silently checking equipment under the command of the officers, spoke to the new recruit who was with him, and pointed to one side of the garrison with his chin.
They are still preparing to compete, but there are people there who are already ready to go.
Different races, different age groups, and clothes and armaments that are heavy-duty compared to the military.
“Hunters…”
“I heard that while we advance and establish a base, we attack them first to get their attention.”
“To attack those monsters first. To be honest, it’s hard to imagine. I don’t think I can.”
The new recruit shook his head in a slightly trembling voice.
He also volunteered to enlist in the military with personal revenge on the demon realms and demons who had invaded the earth through the gate from 10 years ago, but he had only seen it in person a while ago. So I had fear.
Halberd, who pierced through a bullet baptism and swung into the camp. Comrades who swore an oath to be trained together in that blow and to be victorious fell like a pile of straw.
overwhelming power and fear. It was too much pressure for an ordinary soldier to endure.
“…When I was young, I admired Hunters. That’s because I thought they were cool, special superpowers and heroes who fight monsters. I didn’t like them that much, thinking they were messing around.”
The senior soldier, who tapped the stiff newcomer’s shoulder, shared the story and laughed.
“Do you see those people over there? There’s a girl with long black hair. They said that they volunteered to be the first to be on the front line together with that guy.”
“Yeah, I saw it then. I saw him fighting against that monster.”
He nodded at the senior soldier’s words. Right now, he saw Eve and Shin-woo from a close distance fighting the boss boss who broke into the camp.
Hair fluttering in the air, a long body, and a slash of tremendous power emanating from the sword.
And it was the same with his overwhelming skills. Although the two did not see each other even once, the image was still vivid in his mind.
“Now, I have changed my mind. It is said that ordinary people can become superhumans by training without the help of status spears and special abilities. Having gained such strength, I take the lead in fighting monsters. see.”
“It’s the same with me.”
“Your face is all over, Marco. When you meet later, ask for your phone number. Maybe not, will you really accept it?”
The senior soldier looked at his face and giggled. As he answered, he looked at Eve blankly, and, startled, he hurriedly started to touch the equipment he was holding in his hand even harder.

“Twice…”
“It’s no use telling me not to worry.”
just before departure. I laughed out loud at the sound of Eve’s tongue clicking.
I just couldn’t help it. I’m always by my side and she’s so cold and hostile that Eve was already a celebrity. Skill is skill, appearance is appearance.
He had all the elements to draw attention on the battlefield. Unfortunately, Eve wasn’t the kind of interested person who enjoyed that kind of gaze.
“You guys really don’t even need protective gear?!”
“It’s really good. The martial arts we learned are comfortable because the body is light.”

Meanwhile, Max widened his eyes and raised his voice as if in surprise.I just skimmed around. Another reason we draw our attention is that, unlike other hunters who wear protective gear such as armor, neither I nor Eve are naked. Even in this chilly weather, Eve was dressed in a shirt and a skirt, unlike me, who wore a military uniform and frivolous combat uniform.
Eve had no reason to wear armor that was not efficient, even though there was no reason to wear it.
“Of course, hunters have different ways of fighting according to their abilities, but I know the two of them are fighters.”
“I’m leaving now, everyone, take your seats!”
Then the commander-in-chief gave the order to depart. I grabbed Eve’s hand, who was not in a good mood among the crowd, and headed to our assigned vehicle.
It is a military vehicle with an open lid. I never dreamed that I would ride this crazy car again after being discharged.
The reason for not penetrating into the air was simple.
It was because the demons, who used all demonic creatures as their own, did not tolerate even a tiny drone for aerial reconnaissance of their allies.
“So, the superiors think they know very well about our allies’ weapons systems. After all, the Alliance and the opposing forces are supporting it.”

Max came and sat down next to him. I grabbed Eve’s hand, a little tongue-tied, a little tighter.“The missiles and nukes that keep firing are often blocked, too. Magic isn’t too much of a scam. Huh…”
“Yes. But the bosses we’re dealing with now don’t use magic less?”
“I don’t know what’s going to happen now. We also got help from the League. What is certain is that they will continue to grow stronger.”

Max shuddered and muttered. What he said was true. Enemies keep getting stronger. Continue to evolve.‘It’s funny.’
Eve’s scoffing was heard through the Hive consciousness. In fact, from the perspective of Eve, which is evolution itself, the speed of the enemies’ development was rather frustrating.
‘With so many resources and opportunities, that’s all.’
‘It’s not wrong, but let’s not be vigilant, Eve. And above all, they are units. Even if we hold hands, there’s no way we’ll be able to completely become one with each other. Because one day we have to hit each other in the back.’
I’ve always tried not to forget that the enemies are units and players, and that they are involved in the game.
Even if Eve is vigilant, I must not be vigilant.
“depart!”
Soon the cars that had been running started to leave the garrison, emitting engine noises.
The dawn was coming from the horizon in the distance.
“They must know. It’s our job to make them suffer even if they know.”
Commander-in-Chief Jason encouraged the people through a walkie-talkie.
There are now dozens of moving vehicles. In the end, 30 elite hunters were selected through a screening process after receiving volunteers.
And 100 special forces to assist us were moving together. they are all here no support whatsoever All other powers were attached to the main force that will now occupy the base.
“It must… come back alive.”
“I know how you feel, but I think it would be better not to raise the flag with strange words and talk less? Because we, S-class hunters and captains, believe in you.”
Some of the hunters tried to change the mood by joking Jason, who was rather nervous and gibberish. It seemed to have an effect.
The corners of the mouths of those who had hardened around me right away also rose a little.
“Anyway, they know us, and we know them, too. If you move as far as you know, you can definitely minimize damage.”
Jason repeated the story like a parrot. Basically, it was all true.
Now, the main enemy of this area is the boss, and their habits and tactics have been understood to some extent through continuous fighting.
Recently, there have been rumors that they are learning and using strange techniques, but that was within a predictable range.
Based on this information, it was a plan that was likely to be successful enough to pass the time around the outskirts.
“…it’s a little strange that there’s still no response.”
However, when the vehicle stopped at the destination and reconnaissance drones were launched to reconnaissance the surroundings, there was no reaction from the expected enemies.
“Captain! Communication with the main unit has been cut off..!”
The words of the special forces commander, who rushed to him, struck a wedge.
It happened that they disrupted the radio wave with a strange technique. But that such a thing happened in such a quiet situation now, obviously, something went wrong.
“First of all, let’s proceed with the plan as planned. Then we will know their sincerity, and it will be easier to judge later.”
The special forces commander, nominal commander-in-chief, made an opinion, and Jason accepted it.
We got into the vehicle again. However, even though they could see their main base at the attack range, they did not react.
“no?!”
No, I didn’t even see it in the first place. Soldiers with reconnaissance drones and magnifying glasses as well as hunters developed their own senses and looked around, but now there was no presence of enemies around here.
“It’s most likely a trap. But it’s also an opportunity, so we should go and burn it now!”
“What are you talking about!? What are these guys up to now. They can be dangerous!”
Opinions differed here. It’s a gap, so should I go ahead and pretend to attack, or should I retreat immediately?
“…”
Eve was speechless. And it’s the same with me. Because there was nothing against Eve’s senses.
‘Heavy and cold energy is scattered everywhere. I don’t know if it was intentional or natural.’
But it really wasn’t anything. I could recognize Eve’s gloomy form now, too.
“I’ll have to go check it out.”
In the end, the leadership decided to investigate a little more. It would have been a bit odd to return without any solid evidence and no battles.
We got out of the vehicle and secretly headed to their garrison. It was like a village full of large and clumsy buildings, like the stronghold of the big bosses.
“There is nothing to look at. Destroy everything and burn it!”
The special forces that came with them gathered their equipment and began to set fire to the surroundings. However, it was difficult to predict whether this would be a huge blow to them.
I stared blankly at them spewing fire from their flamethrowers.
“There! There’s something!”
At that moment, a cry was heard saying that something had been found in front.
‘This…’
At that moment, Eve and I turned our heads towards it at the same time.
‘The only enemy.’
The only enemy that appeared here. The guy appeared in front of us.
