The Hero Vol 4 Chapter 6

The Hero

Volume 4 – Wizard Type

Chapter 6

Haneul put his brain to work.

The sky was starting to turn back into what it once was before.

‘That’s a sign I can understand. This battle is over now. What am I supposed to do now?’

Haneul knew nothing of what was to be done now.

The thing he was most afraid of currently, was the appearance of the reporters.

‘How difficult. Wouldn’t there be a lot of talk again if I came out on TV? The gossip about me has finally started to die down.’

If that was the case, it was best for Haneul to disappear from the battlefield as soon as possible.

Right as Haneul was about to jump away, reality smacked him right in the face.

– If one does not comply with a summon from the Organization, he/she will be charged with a felony.

Haneul needed to inform the Organization that he was at the battlefield, but he did not know how to go about doing that.

‘I didn’t even bring my cell phone……Ah, now that I think about, due to the magic fluctuations, I probably won’t be able to use my cell phone anyways.’

As Haneul thought this, he quickly turned his head around.

He was able to hear a loud ‘BAHAHAHA’ laughter on the other side.

“Oh, that’s right. I can just tell that person over there and leave.”

Around the time the Tentacle Wizard dropped, Burning Soul was also finished with his fight. The overwhelming wave of monsters started to lessen in numbers, and a few hundred monster corpses were piled up into a mountain.

There were over 10 Giants included in them, so it proved that Burning Soul’s contributions were enormous.

“Mm, that was fun. I haven’t fought like that in a long time.”

Burning Soul mumbled such words with a very satisfied face.

Suddenly, Burning Soul was able to feel a fast moving object running towards him.

It’s the Hero in Silver.

“Hey mister!”

“Hmm? Were you the owner of that overwhelming power earlier?”

“Mister Burning Soul, who am I?”

“What do you mean who are you? You said you were Silver Knight.”

“That’s right. I was here at the battlefield and fought. I just had a death match with that weird monster with wavy things, and you were able to witness it.”

“What are you doing right now? And what’s this about wavy things?”

Just as Burning Soul tilted his head and showed his curiosity, Haneul lightly bowed and disappeared.

“Huh, what an interested friend. But what did he mean by wavy things…..No way, is he by chance talking about the Tentacle Type?”

Burning Soul wasn’t able to contain his curiosity.

He immediately rushed to the location where Haneul came from.

At the location, Burning Soul was able to see a fairly good amount of corpses piled up.

It was definitely certain.

The power he sensed earlier was from Silver Knight.

Not only that, but there really was the corpse of a Tentacle Type spread out everywhere on the ground.

“Pretty good, Silver Knight.”

*     *     *     *

A little bit to the east of the shelter.

This was the location where most of the heroes fought at, and there were piles of monsters everywhere. Thanks to the appearance of the Rank A heroes, most of the situation was contained with little to no casualties.

Also, with the appearance of another Rank S hero by the name of Photon Shooter, they were able to confirm the death of the Flame Wizard.

“It seems like the Earthquake is finished for now, so I should be okay to leave now right? If I don’t sleep at night, I won’t be able to sleep in the morning. I’ve been suffering from insomnia for a while now, so I was hoping to get some good sleep tonight……”

Photon Shooter unilaterally spoke these words, then disappeared from the battlefield. This situation occurred a little more than 20 minutes before the end of the Earthquake. However, the countermeasure headquarters of the Organization had no thoughts of keeping Photon Shooter from leaving.

The Earthquake was about to end.

“The magic level in the Earthquake is rapidly decreasing right now.”

“That’s good news. What wave number did it stop at?”

“There were 14 waves of monsters, sir.”

JooHyuk made an unbelievable annoyed face.

“That’s insane. Does that mean the Gates were opening consecutively? What annoying b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. They were really trying their best to kill off humanity.”

Although the situation was contained due to the quick a.s.sembly of the heroes, that was an overstatement. 2 Rank S heroes had to partic.i.p.ate in this battle.

‘And we were lucky. The number of Wizard types were rather small.’

Because there weren’t many Wizard types that came out early in the battle, things were a lot easier. If there were many of them, the situation would have ended much different than how it ended today.

“Move the special forces over to the shelter and have them add more man power to the relief team. Also, which monsters remain on the battlefield currently?”

“Only the Tentacle, sir.”

“The Wizard Type is still alive? What the h.e.l.l is everyone doing? Hurry and gather some forces to annihilate that thing! There’s only 1 monster left, yet 20+ heroes are just idling around!!”

“That is, it’s been hard to bring a decisive end to the monster because of how cunning its movements are.”

“What do you mean cunning movements, what the h.e.l.l is the b.a.s.t.a.r.d doing?”

“It’s hiding in between buildings and intercepting anything that comes up from the back; excluding the Giants and the Hounds, sir.”

“Mother f.u.c.ker. That’s why they should have gotten rid of the Wizard types first!!”

Although the Wizard types were a pain to deal with, there was another reason as to why it was best to kill them from the beginning of the fight. The reason was, the intellect of the monsters that came out to the battlefield, grew at an alarming rate. These monsters were able to understand and perceive the situations happening on the battlefield, and would use that to their advantage.

The heroes should have known this fact already, so it was a failure on their part for not taking care of the Wizard types first. This Earthquake had consecutive waves of monsters pouring out. With the overwhelming number of monsters coming out like that, the Wizard types were able to last through the battle until the very end.

There was only 1 type of monster, yet the remaining heroes were having trouble getting rid of it.

However, comparing the level of the Earthquake and the heroes within it, it was understandable as to why they weren’t able to finish the job.

The Earthquake was raised up to the S Level. The reason for this was because of the appearance of the Wizard Types. The fact that they appeared with the other monster types was proof of how dangerous this battle was.

With the help of Photon Shooter, the Flame Wizard which boasted of its amazing long distance magic, was destroyed.

There was huge gap between a Rank A hero and a Rank S hero.

Although there were quite a few of Rank A heroes on the battlefield currently, none of them were above level 40. That’s why it was so much harder for them to get rid of the defensive Tentacle type, compared to the offensive Flame type. The only way would be to be as powerful as Photon Shooter.

The situation could’ve been worse, but with the confusion and indecisiveness of the rule makers, time just flew by.

People in the Organization were able to see the long, drawn out fight of the Tentacle and heroes, through the screen.

“d.a.m.n it! Send any hero that can obliterate the Tentacles body through the back building!”

Chapter 6 – End.
