Chapter 1 – Team Valkyries ①

My S-class hero sister and childhood friend are taken away. – 1 – Team Valkyries ①

In 20xx AD, Earth was facing a crisis. Dimensional distortion abnormalities called Gates occurred in various places, and monsters from another dimension began to attack Earth.

Monsters that seemed to have only a destructive instinct attacked people from all over, destroying buildings and causing enormous damage. The governments of each country sent troops to hunt monsters, but it was too difficult to respond to the monsters that appeared at the gate with only existing military forces.

However, at the same time as monsters appeared, people with this ability also appeared. Those with abilities began to use their abilities to fight monsters, and people came to call them heroes.

It is unknown why monsters and heroes suddenly appeared. Some scientists are just speculating that something is going on to balance the universe.

Anyway, Earth has entered a new era in which monsters and heroes clash.

Why, why!

A jarring alarm echoed through the streets. At the same time, people began receiving text messages warning them of the appearance of the gate. People on the streets quickly evacuated to shopping malls or underground shelters, and people inside their homes hid in evacuation facilities such as panic rooms installed inside their homes.

It was a gate appearance warning. Because the warnings were quite frequent, people were already very familiar with evacuating after seeing the gate appearance warning. So people were moving to shelters without much confusion.

Although there were people on the streets who were struggling and confused at times, police officers and soldiers in combat uniforms stepped forward to encourage people to quickly move to evacuation shelters.

Scientists weren’t the only ones playing around during the Gate incident. We created a device that detects space-space where dimensional vibration occurs, and based on the size of the space-space, we were able to detect the appearance of a gate and expected damage.

In particular, when a construction earthquake was detected in an urban area, procedures were created to alert people in advance so they could evacuate and take action to respond as quickly as possible.

Tudadadada-!

The response unit that was preparing for rapid response was the first to move forward. The sound of the helicopter’s wings was loud, and a number of helicopter squadrons appeared in the sky and were waiting.

Rumbling!
I’m so tired!

Finally, a space earthquake occurred. As space was distorted, a space-time gate appeared in the middle of the city. Along with the construction site, the surrounding buildings shook as if an earthquake had occurred, and violent storms and lightning raged around the construction site.

Boom-!

As the time-space formation gradually subsided, numerous groups of monsters appeared. There were many different types of monsters, from goblins that were about half the size of a human, hell hounds that were the size of a large dog, ogres, humanoid monsters that were several meters tall, to giant monsters that were almost the size of a building.

Kwagwagwagwang-!

At the same time as the monsters appeared, rockets and cannons were fired simultaneously from the waiting helicopter. The military unit that was waiting in advance launched a preemptive attack on the monster with the goal of reducing any damage.

However, the attacks launched from the combat helicopter only eliminated some small monsters and did not have much effect on many monsters. Monsters continued to rush out through the burning flames caused by the helicopter’s attack.

“Kaaaaa!”
Kwaaaaa!

Behemoth, a huge quadrupedal monster that looked like an imaginary drawing of an ancient dinosaur, spewed out rays of light from its mouth. Heat rays emitting high heat tore through the sky, shooting down all the combat helicopters that were attacking the monsters.

[Combat drone unit! Defeated!]

Although the combat helicopters were shot down, fortunately there were no casualties. Drones were routinely used in battles with monsters. In a battle with endless monsters, it was natural to minimize the loss of life among soldiers.

Therefore, numerous weapons were manufactured as drones and used to fight monsters. Attack drone helicopters were made cheaply so that once they launched an attack, they would not cause much damage even if they were counterattacked and destroyed by a monster.

[Alert! Behemoth! It is a giant monster-level monster!]

But the situation was urgent. The observation team used a reconnaissance drone to confirm the existence of the ancient monster-type monster Behemoth. Behemoth, a monster of ridiculous size whose size was almost the same as that of a high-rise building, was enough to cause fear.

[Well, I can’t deal with something like that with an ordinary weapon.]

An atmosphere of despair spread from the command center that was responding to the monster. I was prepared for this, knowing that it was not an ordinary space-time force, but the appearance of Behemoth was unexpected. Behemoth, truly a monster itself, was a fearsome monster that could not even be injured by ordinary weapons. It was natural to feel hopeless.

[Team Valkyrie! Appeared on the battlefield!]
[Oh oh! A hero has arrived!]

But soon the hopeless situation took a turn. There was news that the hero team had arrived on the battlefield. It was truly an atmosphere like the emergence of a hero confronting the world’s threats.

Moreover, what appeared was Team Valkyrie. It was a hero team currently considered the strongest in Korea.

…

“Sister! It’s Behemoth! Are you okay?”
“Didn’t I tell you to call me leader during work?”
“Sorry, leader! The hostile monster is Behemoth!”

Reporting to Team Valkyrie’s leader, 『Geohee』 Yu Mi-yeon, was Yoo Jin-seok, Yu Mi-yeon’s younger brother and also a member of Team Valkyrie. Jinseok observed the monsters using long-distance observation equipment and reported it to Miyeon. However, Miyeon also responded to her younger brother, Jinseok, in a cold tone.

“Anyone but Behemoth?”
“Ogres! Hellhounds! Goblins! The population is…!”
“It’s all no big deal. There’s no need to count the numbers.”

Miyeon, who was receiving Jinseok’s report, spoke as if monsters other than Behemoth were nothing. Even in the face of the huge monster Behemoth, Miyeon was not afraid or confused, but remained cool and calm.

However, it was natural for her that Miyeon calmly and calmly entered the battle against Behemoth. 『Swordsmith』 Yu Mi-yeon was an S-class hero that could not be found even if you searched all over the world.

“Leader! The enemy is a Behemoth, are you okay?!”
“Don’t make unnecessary communications. My ears are noisy.”

Jin-seok spoke to Mi-yeon as if he was worried about the Behemoth, but Mi-yeon responded coolly, touching the communication device in her ear. Miyeon was reacting as if the sight of the monsters in front of her was no more important than brushing away her own long, flowing black hair.

Miyeon was wearing denim hot pants that exposed her long legs and a white T-shirt that hugged her body tightly. The shoes she was wearing were also ordinary sneakers, and if it weren’t for the sword in her hand, she looked like she was just wearing casual clothes for going out. However, the sight of Miyeon holding out her sword felt intimidating beyond her imagination.

“We will charge now. Please provide covering fire.”
“Okay!”

Miyeon gave instructions to Jinseok through her communicator, and immediately ran with her bare body and began charging at the Behemoth. Her Miyeon’s speed was so fast that it was difficult for the human eye to follow, and her jumping ability was such that it almost seemed like she was flying in the sky. The sight of her as if she was flying was an incredible ability worthy of an S-class hero.

“Covering fire… Is it necessary…?”

Jinseok felt doubtful as he watched Miyeon confidently charging at the monsters, but quickly prepared to cover her. Unlike Miyeon, who was wearing nothing more than everyday clothes, Jinseok was wearing thick armor-like reinforced clothing, and unlike Miyeon, who used a sword as a weapon, he was carrying a Daegu light cannon that almost looked like a machine gun.

Clap! Clap!

The Daegu light machine gun that Jinseok was carrying was of such a size that it was difficult for an ordinary person to transport it, but Jinseok lightly lifted the Daegu light machine gun and placed it on the broken concrete debris and took a shooting stance. He also loaded a large caliber machine gun with a large number of bullet belts that he was carrying on his back.

Although Jinseok was a B-class hero whose abilities were significantly inferior to Miyeon, Jinseok’s ‘Body Strengthening’ ability was of great help in using reinforced clothing and large-diameter firearms. He was Jin-seok, who seemed to have an ordinary physique, but his physical strength, which was greatly enhanced by this ability, was at the level of a small piece of heavy equipment.

“Good. Fire!”
Tudadadadadada-!

Machine cannon shells were fired continuously from Jinseok’s Daegu light machine gun. The bullets were all armored bombs for large monsters that could pierce even medium-sized monsters such as ogres in one shot and inflict fatal damage when they exploded inside the monster’s body.
