#73. Awakening (3)

There are many heroes on Hero Island.

This fact acts as a shackle that people put on themselves.

─Gather the heroes.

The referee honored this request.

All employees were instructed to gather heroes, and most of the heroes in Hero Island assemble at the stadium.

······Most heroes.

This fact means that there are only a few heroes who choose to ‘protect civilians’.

Today’s heroes value money more than fame, and they covet performance for money.

So, for the sake of performance, subjugation was prioritized over protection.

With the thought that ‘another hero must have gone’.

Of course, no one went.

There were definitely a few heroes who prioritized protecting people.

It was only that his throat was cut off before he even arrived at the scene.

The villain who annihilated the heroes was killed by Jang Ha-ra shortly after.

Anyway.

“Please prioritize the protection of civilians, not here!”

I shouted.

Aside from being late, I don’t know why there were so many of them.

The reason I stayed here was because I believed in heroes.

Because I thought they would protect civilians.

It would be difficult if everyone had come this way.

“Do not command the wannabe subject.”

Those were the words of a hero who passed me by.

“What……?”

I was so dumbfounded that I couldn’t stop myself from running into Gu Seol-hwa.

In the end, the hero died with his body completely frozen.

Gu Seol-hwa said while looking around at the heroes crowded everywhere.

“I was surprised that there were so many idiots.”

The cold air scattered everywhere is absorbed by Gu Seolhwa again.

“This is…”

That technique is dangerous.

I summoned the sun and hid behind it.

Lee Hye-seong also runs out of the stadium.

“Everyone run away!!”

I warned other heroes of danger so they wouldn’t die.

However, there were not many heroes who would listen to the aspirants.

“If you’re scared, evacuate, kid.”

“That’s a rumor!!”

“What do you mean by that?”

It’s stupid.

I don’t know how to distinguish danger.

If I had known this would happen, I would have obtained the right to order from the president of the association in advance.

······I can’t help it anymore.

I can’t stop them from dying.

I held on to the shield strongly.

“It would have been nice to hear that.”

Within a short time, all cold air was absorbed.

And the next moment.

A huge explosion of cold air occurred around the narrative.

Soon, the entire stadium is covered in ice.

I was the only one who survived.

He almost died.

[ Summons the Artifact, ‘Goodwill’. ]

I removed the ice from the surface of the skin.

Then the frostbite slowly begins to heal.

“······If this happens, things will get messy.”

I am the one who takes the time here.

To be precise, they were waiting for an S-class hero to come from the land.

Even if I’m going to die, there’s one hidden number, so don’t worry.

But everything went bankrupt.

If that’s the case, there’s nothing you can do when the other executives of Just go wild outside.

Because there are not enough heroes to protect civilians.

This time, I really thought that the association might collapse.

“As expected, he is still alive.”

Lee Hye-seong, who came back, said.

“Sorry, isn’t it?”

“Don’t be lazy. I know you’re cornered.”

“That’s too much.”

Comet Lee was slowly approaching.

It’s a big deal.

I haven’t fully recovered yet.

······Should we buy time with thunder?

No, it’s over if you suddenly run into it.

“Lee Yoo-hyeon. I appreciate your skills.”

I made a decision.

[Use the ‘Permanent Skill Acquisition Coupon’. ]

An item that I got when I was young but didn’t use it.

[ Choose a skill in your 5th life. ]

[ Acquire the skill, ‘Surprise’. ]

“So, put your feelings aside and propose. Come in just If you bring Dohanna to me, you will be treated according to your skills…”

[ Summon the artifact ‘Dawn’. ]

“Shut up.”

The special options of Dawn are as follows.

Returning the damage I received.

However, this attack can be avoided, and it is difficult to hit.

Because of this, it should be used as a melee attack.

Coincidentally, Hyeseong Lee was nearby.

[ Activates the special option of the artifact, ‘Dawn’. ]

[ Use the skill, ‘Surprise’. ]

The accumulated damage isn’t that great.

In the first place, the only damage I received was frostbite, so it wouldn’t have been converted that much.

Still.

[ Surprise – When attacking unexpectedly, the power is doubled. ]

With this skill.

It can kill.

Kiyiing!

The gauntlet vibrated.

Her fist moved forward with a bright light, and it touched Lee Hye-sung’s chest.

The light exploded.

A roar rang throughout the frozen stadium.

“It’s so dark…”

There was a huge hole in Lee Hye-seong’s chest.

“Lee Hye-seong!”

Gu Seol-hwa was also running this way as if embarrassed.

Even in the middle of it, it sent cold air and froze my left leg.

It doesn’t matter.

Lee Hye-sung is already dead.

“·······?”

I thought so.

“Did you think you would die from this?”

The holes that had been drilled were gradually filled.

It was a play.

“I didn’t have this ability…?”

It was strange.

Although there are cases in which latent abilities are awakened, there is no such sudden case.

Something bizarre, as if it wasn’t this ability…

“You can’t…?”

“I guess you know this too.”

“Hey you crazy bastard—”

Pereouk.

Lee Hye-sung’s fist hit my face.

She couldn’t escape because of her frozen legs.

It was blown off and crashed into the crowd.

It hurt, but that wasn’t what was important right now.

From noble mtl dot com

I got up and shouted at Hyesung Lee.

“Are you insane?”

“All is well.”

Lee Hye-sung, who had approached her, swung her fist.

I crossed my arms to block her and held on.

“Kuhup…!”

Both of my arms were broken.

You bastard, it seems that your physical strength has gotten stronger too?

I can’t.

Let’s avoid it for now.

If you summon moonlight and use burning, somehow…

“Ugh.”

Lee Hye-seong grabbed my hair as if he had sensed my senses.

“I will ask you one last time. Do you have any plans to join Just?”

“Maybe?”

“I understand.”

Hyeseong Lee let go of my hair.

“Guseolhwa, chase and kill him.”

Then, my body was blown away.

It was because Lee Hye-seong’s kick with all her might hit her directly.

It feels like several of her ribs have been shattered.

“Kuheugh…”

Son of a b*tch.

I never thought I would use ‘that method’.

You gave up being very human. Ji is a vampire. What is it?

······Anyway, you really can’t win if you do this.

Kwaaang!

“Ugh…”

I ended up crashing into a building.

As expected, gossip will follow.

Let’s hide somehow and recover with good intentions.

“Wait.”

But, why is it here?

“·······.”

Shin Yeo-eun looking at this side from inside the barrier.

Her eyes met hers.

3 Seconds of embarrassment.

Fu-wook.

A dagger stuck in my throat.

[ The vitality skill is active. ]

[ You will not die instantly. ]

[ The vitality skill is active. ]

[ You stand up once right before you die. ]

I survived thanks to my skill, but I literally just endured it, it didn’t mean I wouldn’t die.

“What, why aren’t you dying?”

Gossip sent her cold air through her dagger.

Along with the scars, my neck and head started to freeze.

It was impossible to survive.

Gradually losing consciousness.

[ You are dead. ]

A familiar message was heard.

However, the message that will be heard after this will be different.

Because in the first place, I believed in ‘this’ and hesitated.

[ You have met the activation conditions for the unique skill. ]

What I believed in.

[ The skill, ‘Resurrection’ is activated. ]

I am revived.

[ There are 20 minutes left until resurrection. ]

Then.

[ The hidden condition has been achieved. ]

***

Janghara gestured.

Then, all the stones, soil, and debris that were near Gusseolhwa flew at once.

I evaded it by moving at high speed, but I followed it to the end, so I eventually blocked the ice with a shield.

“······I was a little scared, but is this enough? It’s different from what Dohanna said.”

It wasn’t as strong as I thought, so my tension eased.

However.

“Youhyeon······.”

Jang Hara did not attack in the first place.

I dropped it.

The same barrier as before covers Lee Yoo-hyeon’s body on a smaller scale.

It was for protection.

To be safe when resurrected.

Also, it was intended to be confined so that it would not die again after being installed.

Of course, Jang Ha-ra doesn’t know about Lee Yoo-hyeon’s skills.

I just believe that it will come back to life.

“What is this…?”

Lee Hye-seong, who arrived late, murmured.

A completely unexpected voice.

Jang Ha-ra stares at Lee Hye-seong with a cold gaze.

Blood on the fist.

“······Is that you? You broke Yoohyeon’s arm.”

Poof.

Jang Ha-ra lightly snapped her finger.

Then, a huge area of land turned upside down.

It was under Lee Hye-seong’s feet.

Quad de de de de de deuk!

I tried to bury it in the ground, compress it, and kill it.

However, Lee Hye-seong was also not easy.

Come out again.

“You’re cheeky.”

Narratives scattered cold air.

The cold air that freezes everything it touches approaches Jang Hara and the barrier behind it.

This time too, Jang Ha-ra only lightly beckoned.

It catches the cold air itself with telekinesis and returns it back.

“What…….”

Gu Seol The painter stepped behind her, protecting Lee Hye-seong.

“·······Going to the sea. With Han Mi-young, it will be possible.”

When the cold air went off, Lee Hye-seong whispered.

“Okay.”

Misunderstanding something, she nodded, and the two disappeared at the same time.

Actually, it didn’t disappear, it moved quickly.

“…Annoying.”

Jang Ha-ra naturally follows.

These are the people who made Lee Yu-hyeon that way. Whatever happens, it must be torn apart.

The place we arrived at was the sea.

There were four people there, including Jang Hara.

“Can I catch that?”

“Please.”

Lee Hye-seong made her decision the moment she faced Jang Ha-ra.

That can’t be beat.

It also had a bad compatibility with oral narrative.

Because of that, I entrusted it to ‘Han Mi-young’.

An executive waiting at sea as soon as the operation started.

This woman has water abilities, and her combat power increases when she is near water.

There is not even a limit on the scope.

All water within sight is Han Mi-young’s property.

And this was the sea.

Miyoung Han grinned.

“Well, I don’t know how strong you are.”

The sea roared violently.

Han Mi-young was showing off her ownership of the water.

“If you surrender now, I will kill you painlessly. What should I do?”

Miyoung Han: She was confident.

She said she would never give up on herself.

This is a place with water, especially the sea.

Lee Hye-seong also thought Han Mi-young was the strongest in the sea.

“I hate it.”

The problem is that the opponent was Jang Hara.

“Beforehand, I will not give you a choice.”

The turbulent sea became calm in an instant.

No, it was quiet beyond the level of silence.

There are no waves. Even though the wind is blowing, there is not even a slight movement.

The water in the pond is not so calm either.

Han Mi-young’s expression gradually distorted into embarrassment.

“Because I’m going to make you pay the price for making Yoohyeon like that.”

Red aura covered the entire sea.

Now that sea belongs to Jang Ha-ra.
