12.

'Oh, my God.' Suddenly a Horse Figure Type Earthenware appeared, followed by beasts with golden smoke. Beasts that were not different from monsters appeared. And they began a fierce battle with the nightmarish Gamecock.

'What is this?' It was a sight that could not be understood by Bang Hyun-wook's common sense. Even if he could understand it, the battle was beyond the category of common sense, so he could not help but make a foolish expression. Of course, he froze at the battlefield that started in front of him. He didn't even think of running.

"Hey!" Suddenly a woman, who came down to the ground, caught his wrist and pulled at him.

"Er? Huh?" He was drawn into her hands with surprised eyes. At that moment, his mind came up with a similar scene of the day. The first time in a large mart he encountered a monster, a woman was in a similar situation, and she grabbed his hand and ran away.

Of course, there was a difference from then. At that time, it was a woman full of freckles on her face that had caught his hand, and now it was a beauty with the blond hair that was pulling his hand.

Kate Kennedy. He had seen her earlier. "You are the wife of big brother, aren't you?"

It was also the woman who Jang Sung-hoon introduced briefly as the wife of big brother.

"What?" At the words of Bang, she said she did not understand what he was talking about.

In the meantime, they ran quickly out of the battlefield. To be precise, they were out of range of the fear of the Gamecock.

After a certain distance, his Energy, which had only been used to hold back the fear, began to energize his whole body.

"Poo-ha!" After he had vomited out the fear that suppressed his chest, he immediately looked at her.

"Where is big brother?" The fact that she was here meant that Kim Tae-hoon was here!

At his question, she made an expression that she did not understand what he was talking.

"No, wait, English, English…" He thought that the reason why she did not understand was his language, and he started making an English sentence to ask a question.

Soon he said, "Brother, my brother!"

It was the moment when the 12-year's English education from elementary to high school became terrible.

But she managed to understand that because she was the daughter of the U.S. Ambassador to Korea, and it made no sense to know no Korean, and she was not that stupid. But she did not answer.

'Is this man mad now? It's time to run!'

There was a monster right behind them, a monster that was terrible, a monster that they could not dream of as an enemy, and a monster which had become a nightmare just by imagining an enemy.

Even she, who had the right to be free from the fear by her A rank Energy, was terrified.

However, why did he ask a stupid question when they were busy running away from such a monster behind them?

"Brother! My Brother! Brother!" However, there was no sign of stopping him from talking.

Fortunately, she didn't have to answer.

Kwa-kwang! Behind them, a huge explosion on the battlefield blew them away at once.

"Aaaaaargh!" "Yipe!" Two kinds of screams tangled, flying in the sky, and rolling along the ground. It was a street lamp that standing in the roadside that stopped them from the endless rolling. Of course, it did not stop them gently.

Bang! The tangled Kate and Bang hit the streetlight and parted.

"Ugh…" A moan came from both their mouths.

But what really hurt was the curved streetlight. Creak! The streetlight moaned, too.

A huge shock.

It was not easy for them to wake up after the shock; after a few more groans and neck exercises, they regained their senses. Then they could see it. Shi-yik!

"Uh?" They could see a Sword passing over their heads.

"Huck!" And a flying car followed.

13.

Kim Tae-hoon could hold back the fear of a blue-grade monster, unless he was very close. But, that was all. All he could do was hold on.

As soon as he was exposed to the fear, his ability was reduced. The Energy would be used to hold back the fear, the time to gather Mana disappeared, and the Telekinesis could not be used properly. Of course, fighting at close range with the Gamecock was actually suicide.

What should he do to pierce the Sword of the Imperator into the heart of the Gamecock?

He already had an answer to this question. But he had never picked an answer in a real fight.

'Now my body can withstand the Telekinesis I use.'

The reason was his prior lack of ability. At this moment, however, he no longer felt that his ability was insufficient in implementing the answer.

'No, I have to hold on.' Now was a moment that he should not hesitate, even if it felt insufficient. So he fired the Sword of the Imperator.

Shi-yik! The Sword of the Imperator, which started the flight, flew like a swallow and drove into the chest of the Gamecock like a serpent's fang.

Bang! The Sword of the Imperator penetrated the solid wings of the Gamecock and found the flesh. It drove in about the length of a finger. It was a great, but not impressive depth. What made the depth impressive was the small car flying towards the hilt of the Sword.

Bang! The compact car hammered onto the hilt of the Sword.

Pook! The Sword went deeper.

This was the solution that he came up with earlier. It was the reason why he could not use it even once, although he thought of it earlier. So far, he had not been able to use this kind of Telekinesis. He had no experience using such force, and he lacked the physical endurance to withstand such force.

However, he practiced steadily. With nothing but his own body, he levitated heavier objects and wielded it. Now the results of the exercise came out.

"Hoo!" After dropping the first car, he immediately picked up another light car that had been moved off the road.

The small-looking car on the road was so overwhelming that it could not be said to be small, and it was flying like a stone from a catapult.

Bang! The vehicle that had completed a short flight once again struck the hilt of the Sword.

Ki-oh-oh! When the scab became an eerie wound, an angry cry came out of the mouth of the Gamecock. Of course, it looked for him with its blue eyes. But he was not visible.

Ppi-yi-yi! To find him hiding in the buildings, it bristled up its five senses.

The beasts of the golden smoke started to show up again before the five senses of the Gamecock.

The golden beasts, who did not know how to give up and die, rushed toward the Gamecock, and it flashed its eyes sharply. There was no chance of it stepping back in front of an enemy that was coming to it, because it was filled with the fighting spirit to the bone.

The Gamecock, which would die fighting against a monster more powerful than itself, inflated its chest. Then it spat out what was in its chest through its golden beak.

Ki-oh-oh-oh! Along with countering the enemy's provocations, the Gamecock and the golden smoke beasts, which were protecting their owners, were once again tangled up. Meanwhile, Kim searched for a vehicle after he took a breath.

'A small car.' The road in Bucheon, once a tomb for automobiles, was now quite clean. It was thanks to the Mac Guild's constant cleaning of the road. Therefore, small cars were nowhere to be seen.

No, small cars were not seen in Korea originally.

Wasn't there a saying that it was much safer to walk on the roads in Korea than to ride in small cars?

However, he was not embarrassed.

'There's no time.' His fist blackened, and it immediately hit the wall of a building nearby.

Quasic! The exterior of the building was torn apart and collapsed. He floated a heavy piece out of the concrete mass, a little larger than a human body.

"Hoo!" Instead of gunshots, he let out a breath, and a lump of concrete smashed on the chest of the Gamecock.

It was also painful for the Gamecock. Ki-oh-oh-oh!

It was torture to be nailed where its heart was, and to be knocked on the heart by a hammer, it was no wonder that it cried out in fear. But the Gamecock was not scared, just surprised. There was no word for fear in it.

Ki-oh-oh-oh! Only fight! All its eyes were focused on punishing the golden beasts that attacked it without hesitation.

Burning! At such a fighting spirit, the Gamecock began to grow its crest, which had been dissipated by the powerful explosion a while ago, little by little.

'No way!' It was unexpected.

'Is anger making its crest faster?' The dying flame crest was going to be alive again, fueled by its fighting spirit!

'There's no time.' Naturally, the Gamecock was likely to show release its explosion again much earlier than he had expected.

After the explosion?

All he could do was run away from Bucheon with all his strength. Of course, returning after a certain period of time… The Gamecock would be the owner of Bucheon and turn Bucheon into a miserable tomb that humans could not live in. The people in Incheon would not be safe, either. Everything he had done so far would go beyond meaningless and become miserable.

"Hoo!" That's why he got his breath back.

'Pierce.' He focused his attention and made his mind as clear as possible. He painted only the picture he wanted with a clear mind. The painting depicted only its chest, where a huge concrete mass was raging, and where the Sword of the Imperator was piercing. He did not hurry. He flew the stones one at a time calmly, like one drop of water piercing the rock.

Boom! His repeated efforts were clearly visible.

Boom! The Sword of the Imperator put all of its long blade into the body of the Gamecock, leaving only the hilt showing.

Of course, his repeated attacks have become a threat to the Gamecock. It felt its life was at stake. That was why its fighting spirit was so intense.

Ki-oh-oh!

'A mouse bites a cat if it is cornered, and how about the last pitch when a terrible monster is in a corner?'

Wharrrr! It must be so intense that it would be unimaginable.

Ki-oh-oh! The chest cavity of the Gamecock, which burst out with a long cry, had risen greatly.

Boom, boom! At the same time, the fire that had faded over its head began to soar like a fountain. There was no room to react.

'Ah…' As soon as he was aware of the fact, the Gamecock again caused a huge explosion.

Kwa-reung! An explosion that was more intense than the one before it began to sweep around the Gamecock.

Kuh-hung! The golden smoke beasts that fought against the Gamecock evaporated in an instant, and buildings around it collapsed in the explosion. The force of the explosion was not just fire. The explosion had an enormous amount of horror and hostility. It was the release of a powerful fear.

He was at a distance, but it was so powerful that his body stiffened up as he vomited blood.

'Oh, my God.' His Energy began to work hard to save its owner's body, who was frozen by fear. The Gilt-bronze Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Statue, which he held in his hands, also filled his empty body.

'… broken.' But already, the jar of his body was broken. He couldn't help it. A while ago, he was using his power to the limit. There was no room for something to fill his body. Under such circumstances, it would be strange if his body, which was exposed to the sudden explosion and fear, remained strong. A jar without a bottom was of course not easily filled.

'Think.' Nevertheless, he sought a solution at this moment.

'The Bell-tail.' And he found it.

'If I hit the hilt with the Bell-tail…' The Bell-tail of the Bell-tail Rat! With its amazing batting power, he could drive the Sword deep enough! Of course, there should be a hammer and someone to use it. And there was only one person who was qualified to move in the fear that was shaking even his body.

'Kate.'

And she knew it.

"Fuck!" So at this moment, she rushed toward the Gamecock with the mace made of the Bell-tail which Bang Hyun-wook was holding, releasing strong power and hurling abuse at the temporarily daunted monster.

'This will pay off all my debts. All of them!' She hammered the Sword of the Imperator, of where only the hilt could be seen, with the weapon she held in her hands, into the breast of the Gamecock. Then, for the first time, the terminal word came out of its mouth.

Cock-a-doodle-doo! It was a chicken cry that woke everyone from a nightmare.

14.

'Nonsense.' As soon as the Gamecock started its second blast, Major Oh lowered his posture while watching the battle. For a while afterward, he was stiff. He waited for his Energy to energize his frozen body so that he wouldn't miss out on the reason while paralyzed

When Major Oh rose up and looked at the battlefield through a telescope, what he saw was the last appearance of the Gamecock, which was more appropriate to say, it was more collapsing than falling.

'What the hell happened?' Without seeing the interim process, he could not understand the situation at all. Instead, he knew what he had to do at this moment.

'I have to run away at once.'

Clearly, the Gamecock was dead. It was not in any of the plans. Of course, his actions in this situation had not been instructed either. It was not a situation which he could judge for his own, and act according to that judgment.

In this case, the answer was to withdraw as soon as possible. He saw the two men had fainted as soon as they were exposed to the explosion of the Gamecock.

It seemed impossible to wake them up right away, with foam in their mouths and white eyes. It didn't seem easy, either.

No, he could bring them away. For an Awakener, the weight of the two adult men would be only two school bags. However, the problem was that it would be annoying and dangerous to run away without catching the attention of people around, with their cumbersome bodies.

So he took the gun out of his waist without hesitation and pulled the trigger.

Blam, blam! With only the sound of two shots left behind, he immediately turned and went out through the door. There was no time to keep his composure when he stepped out.

'That's crazy. What am I supposed to report? No, no. How the hell did he kill it? No, wait a minute. So that monster will eat the monster stone of the blue-grade monster?'

Of course, Major Oh could not afford to check the existence of an action camera of Gopro around the door, either.
