40 – Shadow (6)
He started slapping the monster in the face mercilessly.
Kang kang kang kang!
Pop bump bump bump!
At first, a rough sound resounded as if hitting a stone or iron, but soon a sound resounded as if flesh was being beaten.
The monster must have been a monster, he didn’t seem to know how to deal with it in a pounding state.
Unlike before, it seems that I can’t come to my senses because the shock is applied to my head consecutively.
If I kill him by smashing his face like this… !
That was the moment I thought about it.
Boom!
The head that had been hit by my punches like a punching bag just now disappeared.
No holes were drilled.
A hole in the guy’s head that seemed like it would never break or break,
From noble mtl dot com
ㅡ Avoid!
As I hurriedly rolled to the side at Grid’s urgent cry, something was shot at my back.
It was a pair of long whips that appeared to have been legs.
A silver dagger with a hard, sharp-looking tip like metal.
The guy who had been hit on the head by me in a row eventually gave up on maintaining his human form and transformed his body into a more aggressive form.
ㅡ Riot… !
Grid muttered as he looked at the transformed monster in front of him.
I see… Somewhere similar to the villain from Venom.
The way your body changes like a weapon.
The whip sword has been swung.
Pang!
I heard the sound of air bursting, and in an instant, a trajectory was drawn to cut my flesh.
It was a sharpness that was on a different level from the previous attacks.
I wonder if fighting in human form was too hard?
As I was avoiding the monster’s attack and keeping an eye on it, a siren rang out.
ㅡ A monster has been detected! Those around you, please leave your current location immediately!
As the monster gave up its human form and transformed into a monster, the siren suddenly started sounding.
ㅡ It seems that he was suppressing the monster’s wave.
It was an explanation that it had an ambiguous combat power compared to its durability because it suppressed the waves of the monster and took the uncomfortable form of a human.
If the monster had been attacking with all its might from the beginning….
I felt a chill run down my spine.
ㅡ We can do it if we only have nuclear weapons!
Grid yelled as if he didn’t like the fact that he was being pushed back by the monster in front of him.
Sayak Fang!
“Ugh!”
Even if you say that, that monster… Be strong
Until just now, I felt like I was wielding my body relying only on my physical ability, but now I feel like I understand how to use my body, right?
A one-sided composition was created.
There was a distance of about 10m between the monster and me.
If you put your mind to it, you can reach it in less than a second.
But I couldn’t run that distance in less than a second.
Booung Paaang!
When fighter jets break through the speed of sound, sonic booms fly non-stop.
Even that is aiming for deadly parts such as the neck, chest, and face to kill me.
Because I had already engaged in a hand-to-hand combat with that monster, I realized the limits of my body.
The body strengthening ability and hardening ability are not invincible.
Bones and flesh become stronger and harder, but parts such as the intestines can’t be helped.
If you hit the head straight, you get a concussion, and if you hit the stomach with more than a certain intensity, the internal organs will be damaged.
Eyes also do not receive the help of strengthening and hardening abilities.
In such a situation, it was almost impossible to move forward avoiding the monster’s attack, which was difficult to follow with the naked eye.
Pak! Pop! Quadruped!
He moved forward very slowly, protecting his face and stomach in a boxing guard stance.
The part hit by the monster’s whip was cut and blood oozing out even though the hardening ability was used.
ㅡ It’s annoying….
Even Grid gnashed his teeth to see if there were any sharp points in the current situation.
There are too many surveillance cameras here.
If you have Grid’s two hands, you can move forward while parrying the attack, but that method is blocked now.
Now, there is a way to kill that monster.
If you can break through this attack and move forward, you can insert a powerful blow into his body and extract the core.
If someone can give me a little more time… !
The arrival of another hero… I can’t seem to wait.
It was a situation where if you were careless even a little, your head would explode right away.
ㅡ Concentrate!
I came to my senses at Grid’s shouting and made up my mind.
I took a step towards the monster.
The distance between me and the monster is about 9m.
With my current ability, it’s the distance I can reach the guy’s body with just one spur of the ground.
Pang! Papapapang!
However, the closer the distance between me and the monster grew, the sharper and faster the blade the monster wielded.
The clothes on my upper body had already become rags and I was half naked.
The arm that blocks attacks is slowly starting to have scars, as if cut by paper.
I couldn’t even predict how the blade whip moving in that insane trajectory would move if I ran into the monster.
But you have to catch it.
I swore that I would definitely hunt that guy.
On that day, the monster eradication game started from the day we caught the monster who imitated a human.
There are so many people who have been hurt by that.
It is a society where it is difficult to live even with a healthy body.
There are people who silently endured such a society with their uncomfortable bodies.
Those who always did their best to live were hurt and shed tears because of this monster.
There must be people among them whom I met during volunteer activities.
You don’t have to look far.
Hyeonseong’s family and Insu’s family were hurt that way.
People who were just born that way because they were unlucky, and people who became that way because of bad luck.
But there are people who live their lives to the fullest every day… Do I have to suffer because of one monster like this?
I can’t forgive you.
I closed my moaning mouth and clenched my teeth.
I opened my half-closed eyes and looked only at the front.
The monster’s attack is still like a storm, and the sound of the air bursting around is deafening.
Blood flowed and bones rang each time the monster’s whip sword cut through the body.
Nevertheless, I still have a way out.
ㅡ Yes, in the end it is a whip.
As Grid said, the monster’s attack is a whip sword that transforms both hands into whips and wields them.
A whip is a principle that uses a snap to create a tremendous speed when a small wave that starts from the wrist reaches the end.
It’s an attack that’s usually hard to catch with the naked eye, so I’m just keeping my guard up.
But that’s why there was a way out.
Lines are different from dots.
There are bound to be restrictions on the space you wield, and since you are using both hands as whips, the swinging trajectory is even more limited.
All you have to do is endure this pain and move on.
It will be difficult, but it must be done.
‘Wasn’t it difficult? Are you okay… Because it’s okay. I’ll catch that monster and get rid of it. I will tell you that you are not a monster. Calm down. You’re a hero, do you believe me?’
There is a person who cried while being chased by a hero he admired.
I promised him.
I promise to catch this monster so it won’t suffer anymore.
I gritted my teeth.
Every time I was hit by the monster’s attack, my bones trembled and I felt sick to my stomach, but I still took a step forward.
Now I can’t even hear the sonic boom that I used to hear around me.
I felt like I was losing my mind because I was deaf.
“Whoa….”
Nevertheless, we took another step forward.
It hurts.
The attack that pierced the hardening ability created scars, and the whole body was stained red with blood.
I take just one step, but dozens of wounds form and stop my legs.
The whole body is already dyed red, and the fear of dying from excessive blood loss arises.
The weight of the monster’s heavy attack pierced my skin and pounded my bones.
I felt an unpleasant sensation all over my body, as if something was breaking.
Still, we took another step forward.
No, rather, I can move forward because I have this pain.
Those who were hurt by this monster must have felt more pain than this.
How many times I must have been hurt by the method of identifying monsters that I said was for people.
The monster that caused it is right in front of me.
Don’t think about going back alive.
The distance between me and the monster is 3m.
At some point, the monster’s storm had stopped.
The whip is meaningful when the snap that started from the wrist acts on the tip.
At a distance like this, no matter how much you swing a whip, it doesn’t mean much.
The kaiju must have figured it out as well, so he tried to distance himself.
I grabbed hold of the tentacle that turned into that monster’s whip sword.
“Where are you going, son of a b*tch?”
There is a student who was a victim but became the perpetrator and ran away from the hero he longed for.
There is a good-natured old man who comforted me for making the indirect cause even though he himself was having a hard time.
I can’t forgive this guy who hurt those people.
The tentacle in my hand changed shape and gripped my fist tightly.
It doesn’t matter.
Because I’m right-handed.
I lowered my posture.
Left foot forward, right foot back.
Inhale and pull your shoulders back to tighten your lower back.
You only get one chance.
Grid.
ㅡ Yes!
Grid has the ability to transform its body.
I watch movies, watch cartoons, and even eat peanuts with the tentacles I made from my wing bones.
It’s such an ability that if you show it on the outside, your tail might be trampled on.
But that means it doesn’t have to be outwardly visible.
From my wrists, my entire fist was covered with something hard.
ㅡ This is the shell I had when I was a monster.
The preparations are complete.
I held my breath and clenched my fists.
The heel of the left foot that had been placed on the side of the monster lifted and the direction of the left foot turned toward the monster.
I put strength on my back, and my body, which had been standing on the side toward the monster, turned to the front.
The power that started from the waist continues to the shoulders, and the clenched fist cuts through the wind and reaches out toward the body where the monster’s core is located.
If you are a monster when you imitate Taeil’s body, it is a fist that will never be pierced.
But now it’s different.
Hook! Pop!
My fist pierced the monster’s torso, creating a popping sound.
“Kureukreuk, kreukreuk….”
“Why? Are you upset?”
A monster that transformed his body for flexible attacks.
Because he transformed into a more aggressive body than when he was in human form, his body except for his arms was in a more fragile state than expected.
At the moment of being attacked, of course, I was thinking of making it as hard as when I was in human form….
ㅡ Ha ha ha!
My psychic ability is the ability to prevent the deterioration of objects.
And it has the potential to block even the ability of the grid to take over my body and turn it into a monster.
The moment I touched my hand, the game was already over.
“Kkeu, rureuk, kkeuu, huguuu…” .”
The monster’s body trembled and fell limply on the floor.
I flopped down on the floor following such a monster.
“Heo-eok, hee-eok, hee-eok….”
My whole body was drained of strength.
For the first time, I felt the realization that I had hunted a monstrous monster.
I looked at the nuke in my hand.
The hack was about the size of my fist, and it was about the size of a C-class.
C-class, but this strong?
ㅡ It takes less power to maintain the body than a large monster, so it’s a compressed power.
Ah, that’s how it works.
Certainly, it seems that a battery for a palm-sized robot is more efficient than a battery for a giant robot.
Have the monsters become more clever?
Perhaps this monster was not the vanguard of a group of mutant monsters that will begin in the future?
I thought so.
