Chapter 221 – Remorse

“Leave it.”
“… “
“… “

The two men, who blinked blankly at Kim Hyun-jun’s words for a moment, let go of Yeon Ji-seong’s collar from their hands and ran behind Kim Hyun-jun to avoid the monster that was chasing them.
It was because I thought that Yeonjiseong’s power was needed to deal with monsters without any other intentions.
On the other hand, Kim Hyun-joon, who glanced at the Busan duo being rescued by the other party, stared down at Yeon Ji-seong, who was sitting in front of him with a devastated face, then raised his head and stared at the running monster.

‘Certainly better than that stupid bastard.’

Seeing the monster pouring blood from a deep wound on its neck, Kim Hyun-joon recognized that Yeon Ji-seong’s attack power was enough to kill the monster.
However, Kim Hyun-joon’s head was also complicated.
Ha-jin’s words clearly sounded like he was going to kill the monster with the help of Yeon Ji-sung and not with the help of Yeon Ji-seong to kill the monster.
And after seeing Yeon Ji-seong’s movement that attacked the monster a moment ago, Kim Hyeon-joon was also convinced.
With Yeon Ji-seong’s movements, even if Ha-jin creates gaps, he lacks the ability to aim for those gaps.
Nevertheless…

‘If you take him like this, he will kill you unconditionally. I’ll help with that.’

Kill someone to save someone’s life
Moreover, that someone kills a comrade who fights together, not an enemy who threatens them.
That was contrary to Kim Hyeon-jun’s beliefs.
Of course, there may be someone’s sacrifice to protect someone’s life, but sacrificing and killing are completely different things.
And there was one more thing that bothered me.

“Kuaaa!!!”

Wheeik!!!
Kwagagagak!!!!

Kim Hyeon-joon flings to the side while grabbing Yeon Ji-seong by the nape of his neck, avoiding the monster’s forepaws.

‘Can a guy who is slower than now be able to deal with that monster?’

Compared to the King of Monsters now, Ha Jin’s movements are a little faster, but if he gives up one trait, the difference will disappear and he may be reversed.
Of course, it cannot be said that Hajin loses unconditionally because she is slower than the king of monsters, but it is undeniable that her risk is increased.
And I thought that making Hajin carry all the burden every time was something I couldn’t do anymore.

“Yeon Ji-seong, I need your strength.”
“That is… What is it?”
“It is literally.”
“… “
“Kill me if you don’t want to die to me.”

Seeing Kim Hyun-joon staring at him with fierce eyes while clutching his nape, Yeon Ji-seong quickly cut off Kim Hyun-joon’s hand and pulled himself out.
Kim Hyun-joon and Yeon Ji-seong faced each other like that.
And monsters roaring at them.

“Kuaaaaa!!!!!”

However, it wasn’t just Kim Hyun-joon, Yeon Ji-seong, and the monster.
There were other eyes watching them.
A huge number of eyes.

***

“Brother!!!”
“Oh, Mr..! Jackson!!!”

Tada da dot!!!

Kwon Joo-hyeok, who shouted Jackson’s name loudly at Kim Ji-hoon’s cry, started running with a large shield at the front, and just landed on the ground and threw himself at the monster’s claws that were swinging at Kim Ji-hoon.

Kaang!!!!
Snuggle Geek!!!

The monster’s claws approaching, splitting the shield they bumped into, moved towards the wide-eyed Kwon Ju-hyuk, and just as he was about to split Kwon Ju-hyuk’s body with the shield, Jackson’s two hands appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the monster’s claws.

Rumbling-

Kwon Joo-hyeok, who barely survived as the blood from Jackson’s hand dyed the monster’s claws red, pushed the monster’s claws out with his shield with Jackson pulling the claws. It flew aiming for the eyes of

Shiiik!! Shiiik!!
Puffy!!!

Two arrows pierced exactly where they were aimed.
However, it was stuck on the eyelids that were closed to protect the eyes, and it did no damage to the monster’s eyes.
However, the momentary gap created by Kwon Joo-hyeok, Jackson, and No. 5 gave An Tae-jin and the guards an opportunity, and An Tae-jin and the guards, who quickly closed the distance from the monster, focused their attacks on the monster’s left hind leg.

“Now!!”
“Aww!!”
“Yaa!!”

Puffy!!
Squeak- squeak-
Chow!!!
Wow!!!

All sorts of weapons flew toward the monster’s hind legs, to be precise, its knees, creating numerous wounds, but Ahn Tae-jin and the guards, who were clinging to the tail like flies, were swept away.
But the attack isn’t over yet.
The moment the tail wiped away An Tae-jin and the guards, the attack was already under way.
Not only Yeon Ji-seong, but also Kim Ji-hoon’s attack, which boasts tremendous attack power that might surpass Ha-jin’s if only once was restricted.

“Eat this, you mutt!!!!”

Whii profit!!!!!

Kim Ji-hoon’s sword, which was swinging toward his right front leg, swung at a tremendous speed and touched the monster’s leg.

Remembrance!!!!

Kim Ji-hoon’s knife was stamped into the monster’s leg with the sound of an ax chopping a giant tree.
Looking at this figure, it may seem that the attack has failed, but tremendous power emanated from Kim Ji-hoon’s sword, which was stamped on the monster’s leg with a very fine difference that could not be distinguished with the naked eye.
And the sword swung along with the power that was emitted.

Awesome!!!!

“Aaahh!!!!”

The monster’s leg slipping from its forepaw resting on the floor with a scream of the monster exploding.
Yes, with a single blow, Kim Ji-hoon cut off the monster’s leg.
With the power obtained while evolving the additional blow, which was a C-class attribute, to A-class.

『Additional Strike (C) – Increases damage by 30% when attacking successfully.』
『Final Strike (A) – When used, Strength +20%, Speed ​​+30%. Increases damage by 70% when attacking successfully. Cooldown 15 seconds.』

“Yes!!”
“Now!!”
“Let’s go!!”
“My character!!!!”

As the monster’s body, which lost its balance and lost its front legs, began to lean and fall, the elementary school commandos, who had not been active except for dispersing the monster’s surroundings so that Kim Ji-hoon could attack, all headed towards the monster. Ran from your direction.

Chew!!!

No. 1’s knife cut the monster’s head first, and then No. 4’s bat struck the monster’s head.
And the spear of No. 2 and the ax of No. 3 also stabbed the back of the monster’s head from both sides, and this time, five arrows were focused on the monster’s right eye.

“Such despicable bastards..! Don’t go away?! I got it!!”

The moment Kim Ji-hoon, who was in danger of losing the prey he had caught, hurriedly jumped up and aimed his sword at the monster’s head, a black shadow flew toward him.

“Head… “
“Kheheheheung!!!!”

Snap!!!

Kim Ji-hoon, who was raising both hands to strike the knife, was bitten on his head by the head in vain, and Jackson, Kwon Ju-hyuk, Ahn Tae-jin, and the guards, as well as the elementary school special forces, who were surprised by the unexpected situation, hurriedly turned their bodies and slashed each other. Started to keep
What they witnessed was not the head attacking Jihoon Kim, but the appearance of a wheel suddenly appearing in the air with its head biting Kim Jihoon’s neck and disappearing, punching.

“Why are these bastards doing this all of a sudden?!”
“People are dangerous.”

Unlike Kwon Joo-hyeok, who was taken aback by the sudden attack of the wheels, Jackson immediately worried about the people who remained at the shelter.
Contrary to Jackson’s worries, however, countless insects flying over the barriers fell down the barrier like poisonous medicine.

“The cockroach betrayed me! Everyone, prepare for battle!!”

Juha’s cry echoed urgently from above the barrier.
However, not only insects, but also a significant number of cockroaches had already entered the shelter.

“No!!!”
“Kyaaak!!!”

Yeo Min-jeong embraces Lee Da-sol, who is treating a seriously injured Busan duo who was hurriedly injured by the appearance of a running wheel.
However, her frail body was unable to fend off the two oncoming roaches.
But at that moment, Lia, holding her sword in her hand, jumped out in front of Yeo Min-jung and Lee Da-sol, and with both trembling hands, she swung the sword at the oncoming wheels.

“Go away!!!”

Whii profit!!
Squeak- squeak-
Aww!!!!

Her blood spurted out as the necks of the two wheels that came running with her swinging knife split, and as she closed her eyes tight, the sticky hot liquid splashed on her face, Leah closed her tight. He carefully recalled her eyes.

“Phew~ I almost got into trouble.”
“Sister!!!”

Snap!!

She hugged Minseo, who was shaking off the blood from her two daggers, and Lia asked what the hell was going on, and Minseo calmly replied that the cockroaches betrayed her.

“Why the hell?! You haven’t killed that monster yet!”
“That’s it, I don’t know. And it was a peace treaty that would end someday. Well, it’s fine anyway. This time, we can increase the characteristics and kill the monster by ourselves.”
“This, can you win..?”

Lia, who was well aware that the overwhelming number of cockroaches put her at a disadvantage in an all-out war, asked Min-seo anxiously, and Min-seo made no reply.
Most worrying, the overwhelming number of cockroaches had already been reduced by more than half due to the king brought by Head, but the captain cockroaches were still in good shape.

“Lia.”
“Yes..?”
“This fight is in our hands, not Hajin oppa. So, be alert too. This may be the last help I can give.”
“… Yes.”

***

When the cockroaches, who had been told to step back, all moved toward the shelter, Ha-jin screamed at the captain’s cockroach, who was dealing with the king together.

“What are you doing now!!!”
“… “

The captain’s wheel did not respond to Ha-jin’s cry.
However, there was only one reason why the captain wheel betrayed.
That it is dangerous.
It was judged that even if they joined forces with Hajin and won the fight against the king, they would not be able to stop Hajin, who would attack them due to the reduced number.
Moreover, even if his strength had not yet awakened, Ha-jin’s strength, standing on equal footing with the king, was exceeding the captain wheel’s expectations.

Quagga Gaga River!!!

“Shit..!!”

Tadat!!

The eyes of the captain wheel narrowed as he stared at Ha-jin, who was not enough to dodge the claws that split the building and slammed the flying tentacles into the king’s stomach.
Because I couldn’t understand it.

‘Different… Why are you strong… ‘

Cockroaches instinctively have a better ability to grasp the opponent’s strength than other monsters.
Moreover, in the case of the captain’s wheel, the sense is so excellent that it is incomparable to other wheels.
In the case of Ha-jin, who is felt through his excellent senses, he certainly does not have inherent power like kings, nor does he exude an overwhelming presence.
That’s why I couldn’t understand Ha-jin, who was showing power beyond his expectations.
That’s why the captain’s wheel is blocking.
It was to kill all the people to completely eliminate the variable that could make Hajin stronger, just as he was preventing Hajin from awakening the power inherent in the king.
Of course, they could become stronger by killing them all, but even that variable was intended to be eliminated.
Even if it meant destroying his own people with his own hands.
And this is not a judgment by reason, but a decision by instinct.
Kill those who could threaten your king.
Even if you can’t kill it, block it.
It was this instinct that made this decision, and that instinct screamed that Ha-jin was more dangerous than the real king in front of him.

Tadat!!

“Where are you going, you bastard!!!”
“Aaaaa”
“You’re out of it!!”

Now, the captain’s wheel runs toward the shelter, leaving the king to Ha-jin.
Ha-jin also quickly turned around and tried to block the captain’s wheel, but he couldn’t take his eyes off the king in front of him.
The king who ate the wheels and now shows movements almost equal to himself.
The captain’s wheel calculated this and manipulated the battlefield according to his will.

Wheeik!! Wheeik!!
Snap! Snap!

Ha-jin, who was unable to do anything between the captain wheel running to the shelter and the king running towards him, grabbed the two tentacles flying from either side.
Then, a huge shadow covered Ha-jin’s body and surroundings, and curse words flowed from Ha-jin’s mouth.

“What the fuck..!!”
“Aaaaa”

The wide open mouth of the king fell down at great speed to swallow Ha-jin, and as he tried to attack Ha-jin, who was not moving, Ha-jin’s body surged along with the tentacles in his hands.

“Get out of here!!!!”

Pug!!!!!
Turn up!!!

Ha-jin, who closed the mouth of the king by kicking his open lower jaw, lay down in the air and kicked the monster’s neck and flew away, just as he had kicked Ju-ha’s spear.
To chase the captain’s wheel.
However, the king inserted the two tentacles that had been freed from Ha-jin’s hands vertically, and using the two tentacles inserted like pillars, he rotated his body once more and stood in front of Ha-jin again.
And Ha-jin’s wide-eyed eyes with a sixth sense that sends out a warning like crazy.
Of course, there was no need for a separate sixth sense to send a warning.
It was enough to know that something was properly twisted just by the appearance of the king, who had completed preparations for an attack while getting down on the floor, blocking the front of Hajin floating in the air and himself in an instant.

“Crazy… “
“Kuaaa!!!”

The king opened his mouth again and kicked the floor with low curses.
And…

Aaaaa!!!!!
Turn up!!!!

The king attacked Ha-jin with a speed that had never been shown before, and Ha-jin, which flew through the air, disappeared into the king’s mouth.

Tadat-

Unlike moving while tearing up the air, the king landed on the floor very lightly.
And the dull sound of hitting.

Thud!!!!
Thud!!!!
Coo!!!!

“Who do you dare to eat?!!!”

Pug!!!!!

With the king’s muzzle wide open by the fist that hit the roof of his mouth, Ha-jin, covered in saliva, swept his face and protruded out of his muzzle.

“Breath smell, fuck..!”
