Chapter 6
“WAAAAAAHHHHHH!!”
The people were cheering.
They were watching the heroes risk their lives to save theirs. It wasn’t often that they were able to see a hero in action, so this would be an experience that they would never forget for their entire life.
It was also the same for the heroes.
They were used to fighting desperately at the locations where the earthquakes. .h.i.t.
However, it was different now.
No one knew who did it first, but eventually, all the heroes had their hands raised. They were responding to the cheers that the civilians were making.
The fight wasn’t over yet, however, the heroes that continued to struggle to protect the people were giving them hope.
The hope of being able to survive.
Sadly, it only took 5 minutes to break this dream.
Squish.
“Uh,uhhkkkk……”
The Grey-Haired King’s body shook. A tentacle was sticking out through the center of his chest. As the hero turned around to see what it was, he was torn to pieces everywhere.
“KYAAAAAAKKKKKKK!”
People were screaming of fright and in the midst of blood being sprayed everywhere.
BOOOOOM!!
The entrance to the shelter fell apart.
The doors that could even survive severe bombings simply fell apart. Even before anyone could identify the owner of the tentacle that killed The Grey-Haired King, an overwhelming despair pushed its head through the entrance.
“Giant type…….”
A Giant humanoid, that was 6m in height, peered into the shelter with a drooling face.
“KWWWAAAHHHHH!!”
A robust fist flew through the air.
BOOOOOMMM!!
“Ughhhhh….”
Ironman shook his head in order to focus his thoughts and hazy eyes. He could see the waning sky. The wreckage of a broken building, and the torn sky.
It was the strange appearance that the sky produced when an earthquake hit.
Ironman’s body felt light. What exactly happened?
At that moment, he recalled the fight that he had within the shelter and the sudden appearance of the Giant type monster. With just its size, it looked to be a Type B or Type C.
“F, f.u.c.k……”
Even if a Rank C hero had 2 lives, he would never be able to kill a Giant type that was Type B or Type C.
The first appearance of the Giant type was found in North America.
At that time, there was a huge earthquake with no precedence to its level, so it was marked as an S level earthquake. 3 states were also completely swept through in the center of North America.
The ones to lead this plight were 5 Type C monsters as well as a Type B Giant, and now a Giant type has appeared on this land as well.
‘It’s completely impossible. There’s nothing that I can do now. The only strength that I have is to pour my magic into this pipe, and release it at the point of contact. With just this, there’s no way that I can even be challenged to these types of monsters!’
The name of ‘Ironman’ is worthless in front of the Giant. He was nothing but a regular civilian in the eyes of the monster.
“Mom, MOMMM!!!”
As Ironman was locked in despair, a loud scream was heard, which woke him up from his dreams. In the shelter that was now half destroyed,the civilians were madly screaming. There was also a kid crying his eye out, because he had lost his mother from right under his nose.
The child’s mother was dead. She was struck down by the wreckage of the broken shelter.
“Kid, Hurry and head into……”
“Mom, MOM! MOMMMM…!!”
He was a kid that lost his mother. There were no words that could reach him. Ironman forcefully picked the child up and ran into the interior. The child continued to struggle as he called out for his mom, but Ironman didn’t budge and rushed inside. As the people were in a state of panic, Ironman found the woman who seemed to be the calmest, and handed the child over to her. She already had 2 other children with her.
“I apologize, this child has just lost his mother. Is there any way you can hold onto him for now?”
“A, alright. I will take care of this child, so please……”
“Yes, okay. Don’t worry. I will protect you all. That’s what a hero needs to do.”
It was an outrageous thing to say.
There was nothing that he could do.
A normal hero like himself could not fight off the preposterous monsters.
Truly a stupid thing to say.
Were his reasons paralyzed due to the country’s brainwas.h.i.+ng about justice and self-sacrifices?
However, Ironman was able to see it, the slight relief on the woman’s face.
At that moment, for an unknown reason, Ironman was about to cry.
[Heroes must be strong.
They should never be weak and should never give up.
Even at the last moment, they must continue to give hope because that is their existence.]
This was the hero commandment that he learned in college.
‘Why am I remembering this all of a suddenly.’
Once a person is verified with having an ability, they are placed in a ‘hero development’ agency, where they spend their childhood in, and is put into the Hero Department once they enter college. Which is why they always await the moment their powers awaken.
Ironman was the same.
The powers that finally awakened though, were worthless and of the lowest rank. Not only that, but there was no improvement even when training hard.
‘That monster is not an enemy I can face, however……’
Babooom!
The Giant hasn’t been able to make it into the shelter yet, because with every movement it made, the building shook. It was fortunate for them, however, there were now Hounds gathering across the way.
“This is a f.u.c.king mess. For it to be a level where both Giants and Hounds are appearing. There’s no doubt that this earthquake is at least a level A rank.”
Ironman gripped his pipe tightly.
All the other heroes were nowhere to be seen.
This was going to be a fight he had to go through by himself.
“GRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
Chapter 6 – End.
