29 – Hero Appears
In the city center, screams were constantly echoing.
It was because of the three skeletons that suddenly appeared.
“Evacuate everyone! hurry!”
Park Chul-joong, the commander of the police riot police, gave an order to the members of the unit.
He was not even properly dressed. This was because an urgent order to mobilize was issued while off duty.
“Captain! All residents of Eumang-dong have been evacuated!”
“Good job! Did you receive a separate call from the Hero Association?”
“I’ve been told that we’re going to deploy three D-class heroes and one C-class hero!”
At the unit member’s answer, Park Cheol-joong’s complexion darkened.
he was anxious
With the four heroes, for some reason, it seemed impossible to stop those skeletons.
‘Is it possible… ?’
Park Chul-jung frowned and looked ahead.
In the far front, three skeletons were mercilessly destroying roads and buildings, and at first glance, it felt very threatening.
How could something like a bone with no muscles be able to show such strength? Who the hell is their owner?
“Captain, what kind of villain is this? As far as I know, there is only one villain in Russia who can handle a skeleton.”
In Russia, there was one villain called ‘Necromancer’. However, he is currently imprisoned in a first-class concentration camp in Russia… ! Because of this, it was clear that the person manipulating those skeletons was someone different from the Necromancer.
“I don’t know either. But what is certain is that the person dealing with them is a very terrifying villain.”
“Still, there hasn’t been a single civilian casualty yet, has it?”
“How long will that last? If the heroes can’t stop them… !”
Park Chul-joong was speechless.
They had already confirmed that regular pistols would not work against the skeletons. In other words, the only thing they could trust now was the hero. If the heroes couldn’t stop those skeletons, the whole area of Eumang-dong would be completely destroyed.
“Heh heh heh, you worry a lot!”
But that was just then.
Park Cheol-joong turned his head when he heard a man’s voice behind him. Behind him, a gray-haired old man with a familiar face was approaching, but the identity of the old man was none other than the C-class hero, ‘Baekwol Seonsa’.
“Oh, Master Baekwol! Master has come!”
The members of the unit standing around Park Chul-joong all looked like they had lived. They could not have imagined that Baekwol Seonsa would be involved in this situation. That would be the case, because Baekwol Seonsa was a top-notch hero among C-class heroes.
“You can rest easy now. Because I will stop them.”
“If you are a master, of course you can trust him. But other heroes… ?”
“It will arrive soon. Well, the situation will already be over by then.”
Baekwol seemed so arrogant.
It can be seen that it is definitely not the attitude that a guru with a benevolent appearance would show!
Still, Park Chul-joong seemed to be relieved a little. If he was this confident, he would definitely show overwhelming power against the skeletons.
“Everyone step back. It gets in the way.”
“Ah, I see! Be careful, Master!”
“Heh heh, what we need to be careful of is not the original Jwa, but the villain who is manipulating them.”
As Master Baekwol spoke while stroking his beard, Park Chul-joong led his troops and retreated far back. They hoped that Master Baekwol would stop the skeletons here.
“… Now, where would you like to work?”
After a while, Master Baekwol confirmed that everyone around him had retreated, and took out an amulet from his bosom. There was a grotesque pattern drawn on the amulet, but Baekwol Seonsa’s main weapon could be seen as this ‘exorcism amulet’.
‘Looking at the bones moving like humans, it must be clear that the opponent is a villain with the ability to handle souls… ! That means he can’t even move in front of my exorcism ability!’
Master Baekwol smiled inwardly.
He thought it was fortunate that he was the first hero to arrive here. In his opinion, it was a completely free job.
Heroes receive a certain level of compensation from the Hero Association according to their achievements, and if they solve this situation independently, they will usually receive an allowance ranging from tens of thousands of won to hundreds of millions of won.
For this reason, from the perspective of Zen Master Baekwol, the current situation could not help but be very happy. After all, I was rewarded with a few exorcism talismans.
‘Oops. You need to take care of your facial expression! The media is paying attention too!’
Master Baekwol glanced up at the sky.
Numerous helicopters were floating in the sky of the city, but most of them were helicopters from each media company.
For this reason, it was necessary for Master Baekwol to manage his facial expressions well. Even heroes had to manage their images well to survive on this floor.
“… evil! I will kneel in front of the principal seat!”
After a while, Master Baekwol, who finished all preparations, shouted his catchphrase and rushed at the skeletons.
He intended to kill them all at once and then smile benevolently towards the sky. In the first place, he was not even thinking that he would be defeated. Because his exorcism amulet had an overwhelming advantage when it came to his ability to manipulate souls.
“hot!”
… good! good! good!
Afterwards, when Baekwol Seonsa arrived in front of the skeletons and powerfully flew the amulet, the three chiefs were accurately attached to their foreheads.
Baekwol Seonsa put his palms together and quickly began to recite an incantation. Thinking about what to buy with the allowance you will receive this time.
right! Follow me! right!
“… uh?”
But what kind of English is this?
Despite the attachment of the amulet, the skeletons showed no sign of stopping their movement. In response, Master Baekwol began to memorize the mantra even faster while sweating.
“Sarabaramarabi… blah blah… .”
Master Baekwol hoped that the skeletons would fall apart as soon as possible.
But after a while… ! Eventually, he vomited blood and rolled across the dirt floor. It was because one of the skeletons kicked him hard in the stomach.
f*ck!
“Heh heh heh!”
Kudangtangtang!
“… Stand up, Master!”
Park Chul-joong, who was watching the situation, opened his mouth for a moment. And it was the same for many media outlets who were closely watching the situation from the sky.
They filmed the scene where Baekwol Seonsa fell out in one shot. Then, the video began to be distributed to various communities as it is.
[Shock! Defeat of the C-class hero Baekwol!]
[What is the identity of the skeleton?]
[Misjudgment by the Hero Association! Skeleton’s danger is B-class or higher!?]
[Humiliation of Master Baekwol! Is he really a C-class?]
Currently, most of the people of the Republic of Korea were closely watching the current situation. It was because it had been a long time since a villain had openly started activities like this in broad daylight.
For this reason, the scene in which Baekwol Seonsa fell out in one shot was really accepted as a great shock from the public’s point of view. They hoped that the Hero Association would put in stronger heroes as soon as possible. If the skeletons were left alone, it was clear that the damage would grow out of control.
“… uh? What is that person?”
But that was when everyone started to think so.
Citizens who were watching the situation through the news were shocked at the moment. It was because a figure suddenly appeared behind the fallen Master Baekwol.
“Are you a hero?”
“Hey, hurry up and focus on that person!”
“Zoom in! hurry!”
The media started paying attention to the man who suddenly appeared.
He was a figure wearing a white mask in a long black coat, with a revolver in his left hand.
Clap!
“… Hey, look! Dangerous!”
When the mysterious man loaded the revolver, Park Chul-joong suddenly came to his senses and shouted. But the mysterious man didn’t even look at him. He soon began to slowly approach the skeletons.
“Huh? Could it be that he intends to fight the skeletons alone?”
“Seonsa Baekwol went out at once and fell… .”
“Captain! Is that person a hero? According to the report we received, among the heroes dispatched, we heard that none of them use a revolver as their main weapon… .”
The unit members started talking while looking at the mysterious man who suddenly appeared. But even so, no one dared to step forward. It was because I didn’t want to fall out ugly like Master Baekwol.
‘A revolver… !’
Park Cheol-joong swallowed dry saliva.
He had no idea what the identity of the man who suddenly appeared was. But why? Currently, for some reason, he had a hunch that that man would be able to defeat all the skeletons. This feeling was something I hadn’t felt even when Master Baekwol appeared.
“Everybody calm down! A hero or whatever, if you defeat the skeletons, you are truly a hero!”
Park Chul-joong looked ahead while calming the troops.
In his field of vision, the man’s broad back was visible.
This is so absurd
Lol
