SSS-Class Summoner - Chapter 10

Two weeks. It’s a pretty long time.

Even ordinary awakens, who has just been awakened, will noticeably grow after two weeks of systematic training.

Even a beginner who couldn’t handle weapons properly could handle monsters quite well.

However, prospects with high-ranking instincts or physically superior specifications from the beginning, or known as, buds, were different.

They complete dozens of times the growth of others within a period, through the push of companies and countries.

In about two weeks, it was possible to immediately put them into action on the D-rank gate site.

That’s why it is said that the world of awakening was more talent play than any other field.

Few people could overcome the difference.

However, they were also different from them. And predation.

During the two-week period, he ate dozens of ether cores.

Il-hyun pulled ether from the dead bodies in the house.

Pulling a core with a bare hand from a monster without an extractor has become a casual routine for him.

Il-hyun took the core and looked back.

“Don’t worry because the country will compensate you for the smashed building. That human, well, he’s awakened, so it would be safe if he had it.”

He said, pointing at the yellow head still leaning on the wall.

“Thank you. Thank you.”

A man sitting in a wheelchair and a woman holding hands wrapped her head down.

Il-hyun’s face suddenly changed in the middle, and when he saw two identical faces, he looked at them a bit awkwardly, but he could not seem to express them as much as possible.

“This bastard… Have you turned into my face? Ah…!”

The yellow hair, who leaned on the front door, was making a painful sound, saw his one-sided figure, and his eyes widened.

He heard that Scavenger had a disguise ability, but it was a different story than being surprised by his ability.

“Oh, right. There was one forgotten thing.”

“All… Don’t come!”

As Il-hyun approached, the frightened yellow-haired held up his sword.

“Aw!

Il-hyun broke his hand with his light sword, looked through his arms, and took out his cell phone.

Kwajik!

The cell phone became a thinly chopped ratpo when stepped lightly on Il-hyun.

“C… foot!”

“Then go? Don’t come out until the police announcement. Start bleeding quickly before the monster gets twisted.”

Il-hyun asked a young couple, opened the veranda door, and jumped straight down.

The woman who watched it shouted in amazement.

“Wait, here’s the 13th floor…!”

Thud!

Il-hyun, who landed on the floor with both feet, frowned.

A strong impact broke the floor of the parking lot, splintering everywhere.

His legs were a little jerky, but it was for only a while.

Unlike the cracked concrete floor, his legs were fine.

Il-hyun looked around before wiping off the dust on his clothes.

No one has seen him.

Il-hyun whistled for a long time, and the mice that had been released in the field began to gather one by one.

“Did you find people?”

When he asked, one of the twenty mice gathered nodded.

There were more people who could not escape even after the efforts of the police.

Il-hyun bounced his finger.

Then all but the one mouse that had nodded became sand and scattered on the floor.

This was because the mice were made of playground sand so that no trace remains.

“Guide me, let’s go.”

The mouse ran ahead, and he followed.

Il-hyun, ran, threw three pieces of the sword that he brought to the sky.

After a piece of the sword was stuck in the air, he held it in one hand.

The bodies struck in the middle but kept the speed after lightly separating the neck.

“Seongtae! Is that over?”

A single awakened person spoke far away.

He must have thought that it was his partner the yellow head, but only that it was Il-hyun who had changed to his face.

As awakened, his voice was clearly heard, but he pretended not to hear.

Even if the face could be changed, it was still impossible to change the voice.

As Il-hyun continued to run, the man who was talking was sorry and smashed a monster as if he were angry.

Il-hyun, who entered the underground parking lot along with the mouse, was surprised.

Moving bodies were filling the basement.

He concealed his body against the wall and started to figure out the situation.

“what? So many? surely…”

At least hundreds.

The number of monsters in the underground parking lot was just a number that could not be seen as the bodies created at the upper gate descended down.

“Double gate?”

Il-hyun raised his eyebrows.

Unlike other gates that usually appear one at a time, several gates appeared this time.

In this case, it was not exactly easy to detect because it was created with the same coordinates, the same kind of gate, and only slightly different heights.

Besides, it was located in the basement, so it didn’t seem to have been discovered yet.

The awakened people who went out to the scene usually caught the monster trying to escape.

Places like underground parking lots they could not escape. Therefore began to clean up in the final stages.

“Is there anyone still alive here?”

He lowered his voice and asked the mouse that’d led him to that place.

The mouse nodded and pointed in one direction.

He saw a warehouse door tightly closed on one wall.

It seemed to say that someone was hiding in it.

“I thought you developed a sense of smell… Are you only responding to the smell of blood?”

He thought that when he climbed the apartment that his sense of smell developed.

However, when he couldn’t find anything across the door, he seemed to rely mainly on sight and hearing except for the smell of blood.

“First, from CCTV…”

Il-hyun looked at the surveillance cameras all over the underground parking lot.

Then, he raised his hand to use his ability.

Then all the cameras in the basement were crumpled as if the tins were crushed and fell to the floor.

Chasing the sound, the eyes of the corpses were all over the place.

Il-hyun, who came out from behind the wall, pulled the lighter off the court.

Then he made a small flame with a lighter, making a shimmering sound.

There was only one reason, a non-smoker, would carry a lighter.

When Il-hyun used his ability, the small fire grew bigger and bigger.

The flame, which was almost the head of a person, was blown up and met the two instincts of Il-hyun and gradually took shape.

It was a whisper, but it seemed really hot.

The guy summoned in the air and gathered gently on Il-hyun’s left shoulder.

“You don’t have to kill everything, just go through the road.”

Il-hyun said, his goal was to rescue people right now.

Ether can wait.

Then, in response to his words, the fox’s fur, and sparks, began to rise.

“It is better not to leave traces as much as possible… It would be okay if you burned a little.”

Il-hyun has hidden his ability as much as possible except changing his face while working.

Not only did he not want to reveal his identity, but he also left room for him to wash his status at any time from the Scavenger life, which he planned to liquidate soon.

In the meantime, the corpses that noticed Il-hyun’s existence began to rush from everywhere.

At the same time, the flames that made up the fox’s body also shook violently.

The fox’s body, which had finished focusing, turned into a huge flame.

One of Il-hyun’s intense flames spread out ahead.

Quaang!

The flames stretched out by breaking one pillar continued all the way to the warehouse door.

The corpses on the road were burned black and oxidized, and the surrounding corpses also failed to approach the flames.

Il-hyun broke the road.

A normal fire would not have nodded, but E-rank monsters were sparks created by the power of powerful awakening.

Il-hyun walked the path of the burning flame.

The flames he created did no harm to him.

In front of the door of the warehouse, a firefox roared at the end of the flame sat quietly, and waited for him.

When Il-hyun reached out, the monster jumped up and climbed over his shoulder.

“Okay, good job.”

For a moment, he gently stroked the fox’s chin and bounced his finger.

Then the fox burned out and disappeared.

The mice that guided the road turned into sand and died on the bottom.

Il-hyun pulled on an attempt to open the door immediately.

However, the locked door did not open with a rattling sound.

He took a little bit of strength to tear the door apart.

Il-hyun went into the warehouse with a bang, quickly looked around.

Inside a small warehouse, a small girl was stuck in the corner.

At best, the child, who appeared to be a typical school student, was closing her mouth with as much breath as possible when the door fell roughly.

The child whose face had become was pale and trembled burst into tears when Il-hyun’s eyes met with her’s.

“Oh, ah…!”

Il-hyun grabbed her shaky hand.

Then he lifted the child with his other hand without a sword and held her in his arms.

“Are you scared? Let’s go back.”

* * *

The human figure suddenly fell over the fence of the apartment complex.

Then the two police officers guarding there were startled and pointed the muzzle.

But when they realized that the figure that was passing over was an awakener with a child, they shot down and approached.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes.”

Il-hyun, with the yellow-haired face, handed the child over to the police.

When the police saw the drooping girl, they anxiously asked if something was wrong.

“The child…”

“It’s okay. I’m so nervous.”

At the end of Il-hyun’s words, the two police sighed with relief.

“Are there any more civilians who haven’t evacuated yet?”

“I don’t know exactly… In the list of residents found, we just evacuated all but two young couples. Even though the emergency evacuation broadcast was working properly, it would have been difficult for one of the couples to get out quickly because of discomfort. Right now, I’m just hoping to stay safely inside the house until it’s cleared up…”

Among the widely known evacuation manuals, it was said that if you were at home and couldn’t evacuate within a short time, you should stay calm inside the house rather than trying to escape.

Rather than meet monsters while the gate was activated, the survival rate was much higher than waiting for the monsters to be moved by the awakens or the police that came to the rescue.

But in the present case, there was no need to worry about them.

“Oh, those people, one of our colleagues, is protecting the apartment.”

“Is that true?”

The police asked in surprise.

It wasn’t 20 years of evangelism, and these days, awakening teams that actively help citizens evacuate are rare.

“Of course, it is. Later, I have to go back.

“Are you not going back to the scene again?”

“A little bit hurt… Other colleagues will take care of the remaining monsters.”

Il-hyun rolled up his sleeves and lifted the wound on his arm.

It seemed to have cut deep into something sharp, and the muscles were visible.

The startled police officer jumped and said.

“Go ahead and take care of it. An ambulance is on the front door.”

“No. You might be busy treating people… I’m just going to go to the hospital close by. That’s it. The awakened body didn’t even say much, well, I’m also going to work early.”

Unlike the surprised police, Il-hyun laughed lightly.

The police still looked at the wound anxiously, but the awakened self said he was okay, he couldn’t bear to wait for the ambulance.

He just had to say hello carefully.

“Then, have a good time at work.”

Il-hyun, who said hello, turned around.

He took off the defensive coat, put it on his arm, and pressed the hood firmly.

And when he turned around the corner of the street where the police were out of sight, he reversed the color of the gray hooded sweat to white.

The black cotton pants turned into ripped jeans, and a dirty beard appeared on the face in the hooded sweatshirt.

More than anything.

The open wound on his arm mystically healed and was sealed up as if he had never been hurt.

Il-hyun’s figure disappeared into the darkness.
