The Hero Vol 3 Chapter 9

Chapter 9

*     *     *     *

The first monsters that the Rank A heroes fought since the earthquake appeared were the Giants. These Giants were hard to kill because of their defense and ability to take blows.

Even the Psychic President, who liked to boast about his powerful ‘ESP’ and long distance prowess, could do nothing but complain. The Giants were natural enemies to his abilities.

“Chet, you dirty little friends. When do you guys plan on getting back up?”

Although, ‘ESP’ was limitless with the amount of ways it could be utilized, the amount of magic used each time was that much more exhausting. In the end, near the late half of the fights, the heroes on standby had to come in to finish the job.

The battles would be much easier if everyone joined in on the fights, but the heroes still felt confident in their skills because none of these monsters were life threatening yet.

“This monster is a hard opponent for you to fight Psychic President, why don’t you leave it for someone else now?”

“That’s right, stop trying to solo it.”

Mister Black and Wild Bolt were now trying to take the front. Both heroes were melee type heroes. Although, they weren’t the most effective match against the Giants, they weren’t a horrible match either.

“There’s nothing I can do then. I’ll leave it to you two misters.” (Psychic President)

As Psychic President moved back, the two heroes jumped forward in a hurry and attacked the Giant with all they had.

That’s when it happened.

The first appearance of the Wizard, and the first one to identify it was the Green Eagle.

Because he was a hero that also excelled in long distance battles, he was able to see things several meters in advance compared to melee heroes.

“Wizard type…….:

The Wizard type was dangerous. They had a very unusual type of firepower and there wasn’t much information regarding them. However, the number one rule after seeing them was to kill them as quickly as possible.

“For there to be a wizard. Is this really a simple Level A earthquake? For there to be three different type of monsters appearing..”

As Green Eagle was surprised and perplexed about the situation, he immediately told the reconnaissance team that was on standby next to him.

That’s when the main headquarters found out about the first appearance of the Wizards.

‘Hopefully the heroes that are currently on the battlefield have noticed its existence, but that doesn’t seem to be the case…….’

Green Eagle pulled his bowstring and filled it with magic.

He wanted to identify the Wizards exact family type.

The magic filled arrow s.h.i.+ned brightly as it cut through the air. The magic arrow shot through from the alleyway moved at the speed of light towards the Wizard. The Wizard seemed to be the size of a little kid.

And, the moment the arrow was close to it.

BOOOOOOM!!

The magic filled arrow exploded forth, however, Green Eagle’s face looked even more distorted.

“f.u.c.k, it seems to be from the tentacle family……”

Of the identified types of Wizards seen so far, the tentacle Wizards had absolute defense when it came to long rang and mid range attacks. Using the hundreds and thousands of tentacle like arms, they were able to render any of the attacks to nothingness.

This meant that, Green Eagle was absolutely not its opponent. Suddenly, in another battlefield to the right of the tentacle Wizard, a superbly red flame rose up into the sky.

Out of all the monsters identified so far, it’s very uncommon for there to be one with such mighty flames.

“Did another Wizard show up over there as well? s.h.i.+t, how many types of monsters are going to be showing up exactly?”

With the appearance of the Wizard types, none of the Rank A heroes were confident anymore. They now had to give it their all in order to kill them as quickly as possible.

As twenty of the heroes tried to move forward together, 2 Giants suddenly appeared from the back to block them from their advancement.

They were a.s.signed their own roles.

“Does this mean these monsters are working together to fill their specific roles……?” muttered the reconnaissance team superior, who barely survived the barrage from the flame Wizard.

Even in that dangerous situation, he tried his best to protect and recover his wired equipment. Thankfully, the one that was placed in reserve was unaffected by the attack. Headquarters had to see this situation as soon as possible. That was the only way they would be able to make it out of this alive.

On another note, Burning Soul and Haneul were currently running frantically towards the shelter, and they were unaware of the level change for the earthquake.

“Little s.h.i.+ts. There’s definitely a lot of them.”

Burning Soul raised his hand in order to stop Haneul from moving forward.

“The Hounds aren’t much of an issue, but the Giants are a bit annoying to take care of. Seeing as how there’s so many of them here, it seems like they smelled the humans that were hiding within the shelter.”

“Are we going to be fighting here then?”

“Hahaha, that’s good. Your momentum hasn’t dropped even though we have to fight off all those monsters with just the two of us.”

Just looking from a glance, there were already 4 Giants to fight off.

Each step they took shook the Earth and crushed the grounds, yet they didn’t look too dangerous.

“Taking a quick look at them, they seem to be regular Type C Giants. Silver Knight, do you have any experience fighting the Giants?”

“No, I have none.”

“How resolute. Well, that’s what I thought in the first place. You look like you have very little experience. However, to have come here as a Rank A hero must mean you’re able to fight a little bit. I led you to this location as a fellow colleague, so let me ask you. Can you do it?”

“Burning Soul, if you’re a hero, don’t worry about my safety and just save the refugees. I will do what I need to do by myself.”

“What’d you say? BAHAHAHAHAHA! What great ambition. I can feel the confidence of youth! I expect you to back that big talk you just made with some skills. I’m not the type to fight while getting help or support. What about you?”

How about me?

I don’t know.

The only battle experience that Haneul had so far was from Central South. He didn’t know what it felt like to work together as a team, so if he was to choose which side he was more comfortable with…..

“I’m also the type to fight solo.”

“BAHAHAHAHA! Great, I feel like you and I will become good friends. Then let’s hope that we can survive through this so that we can meet again.”

Burning Soul smiled and jumped away. The moment he unleashed his magic, his whole body was s.h.i.+ning with a light as bright as the sun.

BOOOOM!!!

It was thrilling to see Burning Soul jump into the middle of enemy territory and rip everything to shreds.

‘Amazing. That’s what a Rank A hero is like? If it’s like that, it’s hard to even call him a human being. How am I on the same level as that beast?’

As Haneul was shocked with Burning Soul’s performance, he shook his head in order to awaken from his stupor. It wasn’t the time to be shocked. There could be civilians getting attacked at this moment by these evil monsters.

“Alright, let’s do this!!”

Chapter 9 – End.
