SSS-Class Summoner - Chapter 7

Il-hyun, who has lost energy, walked through the empty alley.

With luck, he thought he could get two or more ethers at once.

“I’m just looking for another number, so I’m in a hurry.”

At that time, a rat squeaked and ran out of the building next door.

The rat ran violently, hovering near Il-hyun’s bridge.

He lifted the rat up and put it on his hand.

“How about, was there nothing in that building?”

When Il-hyun asked, the little mouse nodded vigorously.

He was searching through buildings and streets with summoners.

There are quite a few other people, and he just has to look around, could find a monster right away.

However, there were many high-rise apartments and many locked spaces, so it took more time than he thought.

“What… Still, it’s better than going around alone. Ike.”

Il-hyun felt that someone was approaching and put the mouse back in the coat to hide it.

Two men, who seemed to be awakened, were running to one side.

“Where did you find it?”

“I was stuck in the library’s underground warehouse. Ah, damn it. Three are left now. I didn’t have any work right away, and I was trying to get a good shot.”

“If you catch only one, you don’t pay the bounty, you don’t pay taxes, and you get ether prices. Big…”

“There’s nothing for the company to eat. Let’s find one before it’s too late.

The two men were looking for a monster. They rushed in the opposite direction.

After hearing their words, Il-hyun ran straight to the library.

If it’s a library around here, it’s not far from the neighborhood next door.

A little more than ten people gathered in front of the library where Il-hyun was running to.

All were awakened, except for the two police officers who ran after hearing the news.

“Coming out!”

When the library front door opened, a man cried.

“OMG!”

A pair of men and women in black coats dragged monster bodies.

It was an ugly monster with blood spilling.

It was a foot-walking monster Balak with a chunky dark skin and long tail.

“Cuck, it was eating one person.”

The man who dragged the monster spewed swearing over the body.

No matter how hard this was, if he considered the monster eating the whole innocent guard, he’d have no choice but to have strong hostility and resentment against it.

People gathered and watched with the sound of fluttering.

“You mean this guy?”

“It looks unique.”

“The real thing is better, though.”

Il-hyun, mixed with people, also evaluated the appearance of monsters in his head.

Just looking at the monster from the black background to the light-footed monster was thrilling, but when he saw it himself, he didn’t feel much.

Was it scary as he became an awakener?

Meanwhile, a woman came across the street from the other side.

It was Park So-yeon who he’d met and said goodbye just 20 minutes ago.

She approached the man and woman who pulled out the monster.

“that… Is there a victim’s body?”

“uh? Isn’t that Park So-yeon’s reporter?”

“Yes, that is correct. Can you see the first scene I discovered?”

“Of course.”

“Come here.”

She couldn’t find Il-hyun mixed with people, and Park So-yeon went into the building with the man and woman.

Il-hyun thought to watch the figure interestingly.

“know each other? Or is it a well-known reporter?”

Il-hyun, who was unsuspecting because she believed he was an awakener, was embarrassed by the awakening prosecutors he saw when he was 20.

Thanks to this, it was impossible to recognize the person.

If you are a famous person like Ryu Jin-tae or Min Ji-hoon,

“By the way, I just left the body.”

Ether has already been extracted, and the body has been stretched.

Most of the by-products of monster bodies without ether were useless.

Monster’s flesh could not be used for animal feed, or as edible food, and it quickly rotted even bones and skin and spewed strong toxics.

Occasionally, a small number of people were smuggled and used as a stimulant or panacea ingredient, but none of them were alive.

In addition, it was difficult to dispose of them, so they had to go through a difficult process in a separate monster carcass processing facility.

“Damn, I was just shoveling, and one was caught.”

“I’ve found everything, but where are you hiding? I do not get it.”

“Well, you said you could sell the ground, but where did you dig and hide?”

Awakened looking for monsters chatted with each other.

Irritated Il-hyun’s lips were damp.

It is good that the monster, which is a great danger to citizens, was caught, but it was also necessary to find.

“But finally, a body came out.”

Il-hyun waited while walking around for a while.

And to some extent, people scattered, and when their eyes turned to another place, he tapped his left chest with his fingers.

Then the mouse in his coat pocket pulled its head out.

The two exchanged their eyes and acted as previously told.

The rat jumped on Il-hyun’s coat, looked around for a moment, and ran to the body of the monster.

Fortunately, no one has seen it.

Il-hyun went to the back corner of the building where there was nobody and waited.

Thanks to the fence, it was a place where there was no anxiety.

“Have you brought it?”

The mouse came to the front of Il-hyun.

Then he nodded and opened its tiny mouth.

The monster’s flesh, which it held in its small mouth, fell on the floor.

A smile curled at Il-hyun’s mouth. He saw the flesh of a still wrangler.

“Okay, then shall we start?”

* * *

“Shhh!”

The woman’s awakener was surprised to see rats crossing the road and jumped in surprise.

It was the same with the man who accompanied him.

“Oh. What is that?”

The frightened man faltered.

Five rats lined up and running fiercely on a nearby driveway.

It was his first sight.

The guys passed by, but the surprised woman still shuddered as if it were creepy.

“Oh, it’s gross. There are so many rats in the world these days. It’s not even a village.”

“Is the mouse scary? You are standing well in front of the monsters?”

“Is that the same as that? It’s disgusting to be bitten. You can see all the expressions on your face.”

“I was staring because I saw a rat in the middle of the city.”

“You are funny. Last time, It was just gross with a moth monster.”

The woman laughed.

When the old story came out, the man couldn’t find the main hall and shut his mouth.

The feeling is still unforgettable when it encounters dozens of eyes in a moth that is bigger than a human.

At that time, it was really disgusting.

He hated to step back. The man who was thinking about how to pick a woman looked at his feet and shouted.

“Hey, hey! Look! there’s a rat on your feet!”

“Are you stupid? That fools me! Stuck!”

The woman was surprised and fell back.

Of course, she thought it was a joke, but the rat was on her feet.

When a mixed-skinned woman panicked, the little mouse frightened and fled.

“What a lot of mice!”

The woman was already infuriated and shouted.

“Is there a rat den around that?”

The man, too, was puzzled and shook his head.

It wasn’t before, and it wasn’t easy to find rats in cities in the 2030s.

It was unusual to see a bunch of them, not one.

“By the way, don’t the mouse look a little strange?”

“what?”

“It sounds strange, but I think its face was little crooked…”

“Strangely crooked…? I don’t know, I haven’t seen it. I can’t find any monsters, just let’s go out quickly. It’s like a beggar in many ways, really.”

The woman sat up.

The man who was tired of finding monsters followed her words innocently.

“Yes, let’s go back.”

* * *

“Ike!”

Il-hyun, who made a mouse model out of bricks rolling on the floor, stopped.

The mouse’s back was bent round, making it look strange.

“I’m losing my concentration.”

Il-hyun frowned and stiffened his eyes.

“I should do this. I can’t even fight because of this.”

He squatted down on the floor.

He was in a hurry to keep making and summoning mice in the corner behind the building.

The use of this ability also consumed more stamina than He thought.

“50… No, I think 70 were made, but that’s enough.”

Now, Il-hyun, lay on the floor and threw a brick sideways.

The wood he had packed in his bag had been around for a long time.

All he had to do was wait quietly.

“No, but what smell is so terrible?”

He made a rat for the first time and looked at the flesh of the monster he had taken from Balak’s body.

It wasn’t long before, but the flesh that was already decaying had a bad smell that was difficult to express.

Dozens of rats made in the city sneaked through. Thanks to the removal of this body fragment.

Create a rat, smell the monster’s body, and track it.

Even in special circumstances, it seemed to use two or three police dogs, but this was dozens.

“I can’t throw it away, and I’ll be happy.”

Il-hyun grumbled.

He couldn’t move my seat, so he had to turn his head.

The smell was still there, but fortunately, there was a cry that helped him out.

When he heard a squeak in the back of his head, astonished one-string rose up and turned around.

A rat was staring at him.

Unlike when he first sent it to go and shake, he was soaked and quite dirty.

“Did you find it?”

When Il-hyun asked, the rat nodded.

Upon hearing the good news, fatigue and irritation flew away.

Rising vigorously, he followed as the rat guided him.

“I’ve released a lot…”

Il-hyun thought after looking at the rats on the street.

While he was crossing the city center, he met the rats three times.

Of course, even so, it was hard to find it without focus, so he wasn’t worried about it.

“But where are you going? Is that what you found?”

He stared suspiciously at the mouse.

The neighborhoods around Ilyeon-dong where the gates first appeared, were also within the scope of the investigation. But now Il-hyun and the mice were even out of range.

Unlike the neighborhood around Ilyeon-dong, which was empty without the awakening and the police, the public was stalking the streets.

Of course, the degree of anxiety in this area is also low, but the population is less than usual.

“Even if Amman is a surprise gate, there is no way he can hide here…”

Whether he was in doubt or not, the mouse continued to walk, regardless.

He had no choice but to follow.

Feeling as if something was reversed, Il-hyun stuck his hand in the pocket of the coat.

While walking like that, the mouse suddenly stopped.

Then he tapped the manhole cover under his feet.

“Surely?”

Il-hyun was frozen in place.

Entrance to the sewer.

He knew what his actions meant.

Il-hyun looked around for a moment and lifted the manhole cover.

It was much heavier than he normally thought, but it didn’t matter as long as he became an awakener.

People around there suddenly looked at the manhole when someone entered, but he didn’t think it was strange to see him wearing a protective coat.

“Wow, I thought it was just a honey sucking job… You also get into shit. I have to repack from today.”

“Hey, then you know that there are monsters down here?”

“Huh, stupid bitch. Are you here?”

While waiting for a signal in front of the pedestrian crossing, the students giggled as they exchanged abusive languages.

Il-hyun closed the lid halfway and descended the ladder, spit out a grudge.

“Don’t you ever meet a monster like that and shit…”

Tuck, the foot touched the floor.

The smell wasn’t bad, and there were no debris floating.

Fortunately, it wasn’t a place to transport sewage, as the student said.

It was like a place to move rainwater.

“Is this the way you came here?”

His voice rang.

Normally, unless a manhole was smashed at all, the monster rarely spontaneously entered the sewer with the lid open.

Thanks to the far distances through the sewerage, there is no need for detection, and these rats seemed to be able to roll their heads.

Il-hyun took the pieces of the sword out of the bag.

The sharp metals, divided into three pieces, fell on the floor and made a sharp sound.

He used his instincts to put the pieces together and made a sword.

“Which?”

Il-hyun asked, and the mouse advanced in one direction.

He snuffed the ground and followed it.

Il-hyun, who was somewhat nervous in the dark and long space, fixed the sword.

When he was a child, there was a time when he practiced teaching himself how to use a sword in the belief that one day he would be awakened.

He also searched for the countermeasures against monsters posted on YouTube and even took a form to kill it.

Of course, he didn’t remember anything at the moment, and even if he remembered, it was only a worthless knowledge.

“It was a black history that was stupid a while ago. You don’t know what the real people will be.”

Il-hyun, who had been soaked for a moment, was startled by the sound of the subtle feeling he heard.

The monster’s low and fierce cries came from a distance.

He stopped.

A moment of silence filled the surroundings.

And he noticed.

“Kieek!”

A crazy rumbling rang in the sewer.

From the cries of monsters that could be overwhelmed, Il-hyun discovered one thing.

“There were two?”

When his lips dried up, Il-hyun swallowed saliva.

Obviously, the situation was dangerous.

Just the day before, he struggled to fight one E-rank monster.

Even though he ate one more ether, he wasn’t sure if he could fight and win at the same time.

For some reason, however, a thick smile that he couldn’t control spread across his mouth.

Rats are coming.

Your prey.
