The Returner

48 bucks. Can a middleman get a job there? -3

Whoo-hoo!

The vibrations echo through the gate, and the room begins to open with a ripple in the middle.

“It's open!”

You hear an urgent voice.

Soldiers of the defense, who haven't been deployed yet, can't blame the gate on everything.

I waved the confusing gun around, hoping to aim it.

“Calm down!”

Then, I heard a low voice behind my back.

We tried to surround the entire gate, but we haven't got enough men yet.

There are inevitably gaps.

“Widen the gap! We're surrounding them as best we can! Keep your distance, you bastards! ”

No matter how many people you deploy, it was difficult to surround all ten gates.

“Damn it!”

Jung In Soo suppressed the blasphemy that soared to her throat.

People haven't even evacuated yet, but what do I do if the gate opens?

No matter how widespread the distance was, it was all I could do to block one side.

What about the other side?

Jung In-soo's gaze went up. When I saw Seo Ah-young looking down in the window of the apartment, I was annoyed.

But now I have no time to scream.

The gate opens at once and the monsters start pouring out like ants.

Fortunately, the direction in which the gates were opened was concentrated, so the protruding monsters clumped together and became entangled.

“Go for it!"

Guns burst into flames as Jung Myung Soo shouts.

Grenades flew towards the dense areas of monsters instead of the underdeployed MG-50.

Kieeek!

With a thump and a burst of grenades, monsters stab the sky.

Those who saw the scene also left their luggage and began to run away with all their might.

Different monsters protrude from about a dozen gates.

Giant fire-breathing lizards, octopus-looking monsters with long tentacles, giant black glossy insects, giant wolf-shaped beasts, and even giant muscle-shaped human monsters.

Monsters were biting and punching each other and making Abigail.

“Shoot! Shoot! Manes!”

Jung Myung Soo shouted with a bored face.

I could clearly see it from my eyes. There are more monsters pouring out than monsters knocking them down with their firepower.

No, no, no, no!

It was only a few times.

I couldn't handle it.

‘Goddamn it, do something! ’

I found KSF with urgent eyes.

“Gaaaah!”

But welcoming him was not KSF, but a sharp notoriety.

The laymen who identified the monsters started screaming, and the sharp high-tones attracted the attention of the monsters.

Kieeek!

Caaaak!

Ooh.

Low and high howls spread, and the monsters began to twist in the opposite direction.

Monsters start swarming like waves, not in front of the apartment where the bullets are unloaded.

“Oh, no! Fire! Fire! Stop it! Stop that thing! ”

Jung In Soo screams.

There are a lot of people back there who haven't evacuated yet. If we let those monsters get away, it could be the worst disaster since Black Monday.

“Stop!”

I screamed my throat out, but there was nothing I could do.

At that moment, something came into her eyes that was shaking her hands with desperate eyes.

Something falls from the sky.

Kuang!

The asphalt splashes up into the air.

There was Lee Hyuk, who was holding the black smoke like a curtain.

Lee Hyuk clenches his tongue at the monsters racing frenzily towards him.

At the same time, a black flame blooms over Lee Hyuk's hands.

Mana, who had been stacked up inside her body while slapping killer whales, rose up with Lee Yi Hyuk's hands.

Jung Myung Soo shouted in half a voice.

That guy!

It's him, it's him!

Did you say "Lee Hyuk"?

“Do something! Do whatever it takes!”

Fortunately, such an acquisition came about.

“This is the shortcut to hell. ”

So...

Lee Hyuk's hands extended forward.

Glug glug!

It was a huge tidal wave of flames.

A wave of black flames blazes through your tongue.

A blazing flame consumes the monster's waves.

A loud hiss echoes through the air.

Even the defensive soldiers who were shooting at the horrific scene closed their eyes.

The flames continue to devour the monsters.

The stench of burning flesh shook, and the screams that made me want to twist my ears broke the sky.

Lee Hyuk hardened his face as he watched the scene.

“There's only so much. ”

Lee Hyuk was a serious face for a while. Behind his back was a mother and Ye-won who had not yet evacuated.

So, roughly fighting.

Wait a minute?

But was your father home?

No, is he in yet?

Why can't people be real?

Lee Hyuk tilted his head and looked up at the house.

It's like my dad was home.

Lee Hyuk swallowed up his tears as his father became invisible after retirement.

That's why men have to work.

Jung-hoon Choi, who was old enough to have a job, suddenly understood.

I blew up dozens of monsters at once, but there are still hundreds left.

There was a strange flow between the monsters.

The monsters who realized Lee Hyuk's abilities tried to slip back and forth, while the newly summoned monsters pushed them forward without even knowing it.

Queeeeeeeek!

Lee Hyuk kicked his tongue watching the monsters rushing towards him.

That's why it's important to know.

You didn't know?

“Then you must die. ”

The black tentacles that protruded from Lee Hyuk's body swallowed up the torn pieces of the monster and the runoff Manas.

You turn the sucked Mana into Black Magic Power and turn it all over your body. Lee Hyuk trembled as he felt his body rising.

The sensation of Mana rising in the flesh is always pleasant.

Feels like I want to trample and tear everything in front of me, but · · · · · · · ·

I didn't build up enough Mana to make me feel bad, so I had to endure it.

But you can do it properly.

Dozens of black smoke rose from Lee Hyuk's shoulders like snakes and flew towards the monsters.

Then, as if a snake had opened its mouth, it swallowed up the monsters that were rushing.

Wood Duck!

Queeeeeeeek!

Smoke tightens, stiffens and turns monsters inside out!

Lee Hyuk, who had sucked out the flesh of the monsters under pressure and Mana, laughed.

I stood there and looked at the monster army.

Lee Hyuk, who swallowed more than twenty monsters in a heartbeat, took a deep breath while feeling the rising Mana.

I'm thirsty.

Thirsty.

Mana is making him thirsty, no matter how much he swallows.

More.

We need more Mana.

More!

There was blood in Lee Hyuk's eyes.

However, Lee Hyuk stopped there without going any further.

Deep breaths were with Lee Hyuk.

‘I'm excited.'

The urge to get more Mana dominates him for a moment, but it's also quick to get out.

That's all he has to do.

Be sure to be vigilant. If you go further out of here, you cross the line on your own.

All he has to do now is protect his family. More than that is not his role. Him.

There was someone else who had to do it.

“Lee Hyuk! ”

Hearing Seo Ah-young's voice running from behind, Lee Hyuk nodded.

Yeah, it is.

His work here is not his concern.

“The families are being evacuated by Jung-hoon Choi. ”

“Well, I owe you one. ”

“No, thank you for stopping me. ”

It's strange.

This woman, why are you so stubborn?

“I mean, speaking of which, ”

Of course it is.

Lee Hyuk snorted.

“Why? Are you going to do 10 million won each? ”

“Can't you see the number of monsters? Are you willing to give up your country? ”

“If you're not going to do it, don't keep asking me to do it. ”

Lee Hyuk turned away, leaving Seo Ah-young hanging around.

People are asked as much as they do.

After you do this, you will hear the complaint again if you don't do that again next time.

So the line is important.

Drawing a line so that the center can not be shaken.

The line he draws today is here.

The user slaughters monsters that pass behind it. Whatever happened in the other direction, it was none of Lee Hyuk's business.

KSF, the National Guard, anyone.

Suddenly, KSF agents started filling the lines that Lee Hyuk was blocking.

Lee Hyuk takes a step back, watching the agents fill his insides.

“Lee Hyuk? ”

“Then I'll make sure my house doesn't fall apart. ”

Seo Ah-young glanced at Lee Hyuk and nodded.

“Go ahead."

Eh?

What is she doing here?

“Thank you for your help. I didn't think Lee Hyuk would step up first. ”

Because our house is in danger.

Lee Hyuk didn't think much of it, but it wasn't in Seo Ah-young's position.

If Lee Hyuk hadn't stepped up in time, that monster wave would have spread to the city.

It was unexpected how much damage it would do.

At least a few thousand lives were saved because Lee Hyuk stepped forward once and for all.

It is ungrateful to ask Lee Hyuk for more than just an agent of KSF.

Seo Ah-young's attitude of not asking for something more than usual was suspicious, but he couldn't talk any more in this situation.

Seo Ah-young has already opened her eyes and is staring at the hordes of monsters.

“Hmm · · · · · · · · ·. ”

You know, I can trust you with something.

Lee Hyuk turned around, giggling and laughing.

Once you let me build a siege, it's all that's left. I'll take care of it.

I took a cigarette out of my pocket and put it in my mouth and lit it on fire.

‘Let's see, now. ’

We need to secure the families. We can't have an accident in this mess.

It is clear that Choi Jung-hoon is a trustworthy man, but it is still good · · · · · · ·.

At that moment, I felt something creepy.

Lee Hyuk turned around.

In his eyes, a swarm of monsters flew into the sky through the siege of KSF and the Defenders.

Long winged gecko-shaped monsters were spewing fire through their mouths, rising into the night sky.

I never thought there would be flying monsters, but KSF and the Defence Force were staring at the monsters with their mouths wide open.

“Good job.”

Incompetent Humans.

I can't seem to get the job done once.

I knew what it would be like to work with those humans.

‘I have to rethink this. ’

Working environment is important.

But...

They're flying in one direction?

Lee Hyuk smiled as he looked at the direction the monsters were flying.

Human eyes are ridiculous.

I recognize it as soon as I see the car I've driven a few times because it's fresh in my eyes.

It's the same kind of car that Choi Jung-hoon was driving.

Haha.

I hope not.

You're not, are you?

Unlike what I thought, Lee Hyuk's body jumped into the air like a flash of light.

“Why you again! Why?”

I see a familiar blonde hair across the glass of a dark-coated tea.

Lee Hyuk rushed to Choi Jung-hoon's car, spitting out insults.
