The Returner

5. That's also not a bad way (4)

It was like a view from hell.

A cloud?

It's not like that.

It was dark, unlike the dark clouds.

It's ominous just to look at, and the more I look at it, the darker it feels to tighten a person's heart.

The black smoke emanates from the human body, rising into the air and creating a swarm of black clouds.

“Hey, Gwang-ho. ”

“Huh?"

“She's on our side, right? ”

“... I think so. ”

Choi Chang-hyuk looked at Lee Lee Hyuk and said in a trembling voice.

“But I feel like I should attack over there. ”

George bites his teeth tightly without saying a word. He was feeling the same way now. Obviously, Lee Hyuk was fighting for humanity, but he had to feel bad about Lee Hyuk while knowing it and watching it.

‘Besides, I have the same abilities. ’

As monsters and abilities appeared on Earth, one of the evidences was the unrealistic nature of heroes.

It was always a proposition that the public would react when a hero appeared in the real world.

Some said they would rejoice, and some said they would be excluded.

But the conclusion was too easy.

Humans were more envious of those with abilities than of those with them.

Especially if the human was born with abilities, it was rumored that time would get deeper....

‘That's not all. ’

George felt it.

He is also a competent person, but I feel this feeling now... Maybe jealousy or timing weren't the cause of the exclusion of competent people.

Fear.

A fundamental fear of being I cannot bear.

It's like watching a tiger roam the streets.

‘That's what it feels like to be a normal person. ’

So how does a layman feel when he sees Lee Hyuk?

Isn't that what it feels like to actually see a demon you can't see in real life?

George felt this way because he had the ability to resist somehow, but he didn't have to see how ordinary humans would feel about Lee Hyuk who could not resist even the smallest.

"Just like him. ’

I was staring at Lee Ji-hyuk with the face of Choi Chang-hyuk.

Whether I was jealous of Lee Hyuk who was dominating him a little while ago or not, my emotions were all over my face.

“Sa, it's not human. ”

“Oh, excuse me for saying that. ”

Jung Jeong-min went outside after Choi Chang-hyuk's words.

“… Yes. ”

“Ji-hyuk may look like that, but he's very human. ”

“Is that so?"

“How human. I love the food, and... He likes to play, he likes to play games, he suffers from mum's nagging. ”

That's real human.

I thought it sounded human, like it was telling my story.

Likes games, likes to play games, and suffers from mum's nagging was the perfect story for the journal.

“Excuse me for looking at her like that. It's also the most sensitive part of Ji-hyuk. ”

“... Really? ”

I tilted my head as if Choi Chang-hyuk was surprised.

The person he knew, Lee Hyuk, was not a person who did not match the word sensitivity. Most of the work was done and handed over to the character of Lee Hyuk.

“Well, I guess. ”

Jung Jeong-min took off one foot, and Choi Chang-hyuk looked at me with fat eyes and shook his head.

‘What have I done to Goddess? ’

No matter how urgent the situation was, I couldn't believe how much I laid eyes on that Marine.

“... What are you trying to do? ”

At that time, Choi Chang-hyuk turned his head again to look at Lee Hyuk.

“… Defense Aid will be here any minute. Until then, just be patient... ”

“Why?”

Lee Hyuk said as if it wasn't a big deal.

“... How should we get rid of that corpse first? ”

I don't think Lee Hyuk would be able to handle a monster that size without a defender.

However, there is a chance that people will come out of misunderstandings that the situation is still over in the presence of people around here, and if the defender is not completely occupied, there could be a problem in securing people's safety.

“Don't worry about it. ”

“Yes?”

“I'll clean it up. ”

Lee Hyuk smiled and slowly started to float into the air.

Jung In-su watched the scene with a slightly dazed eye.

It was strange when people were flying, but I didn't think it was strange.

‘Lee Ji-hyuk. ’

Now you won't be surprised if he turns stones into gold.

Immediately, a storm of magi began to erupt from Lee Ji-hyuk's body floating in the air.

Jung In Soo had to cancel the idea I just had.

Seeing Lee Hyuk's whole body covered in black margaritas, another surprise came again. And the horror that seemed to overwhelm him beyond that surprise dug in.

Just, just, just.

My lower jaw was trembling and my teeth were clashing.

As Margaery of Lee Hyuk burst out, the monsters stopped moving. The allies vomited their sighs, and the hordes of monsters who could be called enemies stared at Lee Ji-hyuk dazed, trembling.

At that moment, Lee Hyuk pushed his hand forward. At the same time, Magi started spreading like a cloud in the air.

“Huh?”

I looked at Margie with strange eyes. I've seen Lee Hyuk do a lot of big magic over the years, but I don't think I've seen it this time.

First of all, I'm not used to that slow pace.

Margaery, who was slowly pushing, began to sink towards the monsters.

“Kneel.”

Lee Hyuk's eyes glowed red.

At the same time, Maggie begins to seep into the monsters' bodies.

“Huh?"

Jung In Soo's eyes widen, watching the monsters' reactions.

Monsters encountered Margie begin to twist their bodies in agony. The monsters of Lee Hyuk who were attacking were also frightened and turned their backs.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The scream sounds like it's squeezing the heart of the listener. Different kinds of monsters were screaming and making strange noises that were unacceptable.

“I've had enough to eat, and now that I've surrendered... it should work. ”

Lee Hyuk smiled.

While remaining vigorous monsters are difficult to subdue, it is not that difficult to defeat fearful monsters.

Queeeeeeeeeek!

Scream and despair.

The monsters roll around, making a move.

The earth begins to shake as if a massive swarm of monsters were coming together in an earthquake.

“Ahhhh!”

Jung In Soo fell to the ground. It was hard to stand because it was too heavily shaken.

Isn't the building falling down? ’

The design on the helicopter buildings couldn't have been properly designed. It is not unusual for a skyscraper to collapse if it is shaken this much. But fortunately, that didn't happen, and the shaking began to subside.

Cuckoo.

The monsters start to wake up one by one, with a low cry. Then you attack the monsters around you and knock them down.

“Huh?"

A short time ago, monsters who fought against Lee Hyuk began civil war. However, the situation was not divided tightly, but straightened out quickly because it was a fight between many and few.

The remaining monsters stop moving and stand still.

“The end.”

Lee Hyuk slowly stepped down to the ground and waved his hands.

A huge gate forms in the middle of the monsters, and the monsters around the gate begin to rush into Ur.

“Well……. ”

Lee Hyuk nodded in a cheerful manner.

Tens of thousands of monsters set foot inside the gate in an orderly fashion.

“Well, what did you do? ”

“I ate it.”

“Yes?”

“He's on our side now. ”

To be precise, it was a slave to Lee Ji-hyuk.

It was no longer necessary to put a seal on the weaker monsters in the past, but now I can do things more easily by submitting my mind in this way.

It's a hassle.

“… is that so? ”

Jung Myung Soo sighs helplessly as she sees monsters disappearing into the gate.

‘I feel it every time I see it, but this is too much. ’

The Defence Force and KSF tried to stop it with all their might, but it was a swarm of monsters that had been breached.

It was fortunate that Lee Hyuk easily solved it on this side through Cheonan luck, but seeing that there is a side that has been resolved too easily, it was impossible for him to feel devastated.

“By the way, you're here early. ”

“… I was in the office and came to the power after hearing the news. I wish I didn't have to come if I knew Lee Hyuk was here. ”

“Hmm, but KSF hasn't arrived yet. ”

“KSF doesn't seem to have immediate support because the branches are so fragmented. The headquarters has general control, but in these cases, they usually ask NDF for support, not support from other branches. But the NDF isn't working today. ”

I laughed at the fact that she was defending KSF. When I first saw it, I thought it was the person who was picking on Choi Jung-hoon and Seo Ah-young.

“You don't have to protect me like that.... ”

“It's unfair. It's true that KSF is not exhaustive these days, but it is a force majeure in this case only. ”

“Would the defense guard have changed his words if he had arrived now? ”

“Well, the tone might have changed, but it wouldn't have changed that much. ”

“Well, you have to admit, ”

Lee Hyuk shrugged.

He also did not like to nag. However, if KSF continues to look the same, there was no one who could control it.

“Well, I have a question for you. ”

“Yes.”

“What happens if KSF is objectively attached to the defence officer? Can the Guardians handle it? ”

Jung In Soo seemed to think carefully and asked.

“What about you, Lee Hyuk? Do I need to think about it? ”

“I have to get out. ”

“Then the defense forces alone would be equal, and the assumption is that they are mobilizing the ROK forces is oppressive. ”

“Is that it? ”

Jung In said as if it was natural.

“The reason the military needs a Talent is that most of the firearms they have are hostile to monsters. Since they were able to completely destroy the body, they have developed with a focus on accuracy and speech rather than maximization of firepower. ”

“Yes.”

“But even skilled people, except for a few, there's no shortage of burns in their bodies. You don't have to go to the sniper. You don't have to stick your head out with a normal hammer. ”

“Mmmm... ”

Lee Hyuk nodded.

There was definitely a point to it.

“Well, that's good. ”

"Thank God"?

As soon as Jung In-su was about to question, Lee Hyuk asked one more question.

“Did they say NDF left? ”
