Chapter 7

All the heroes trying to fight the Tentacle were cussing under their breaths because of its defense.

“Damn that thing, its defense is way too strong.”

“Ever since we pushed it back into a corner, it’s just been standing there waving those tentacles around as defense. That thing isn’t thinking about running away later is it?”

The monster waves were already finished. As the magic level in the location was dropping, the sky slowly started reverting back to normal as well. If they were to lose this chance of finishing off the Tentacle, things would get way too complicated.

To start off, after the start of an Earthquake, the magic that comes from the location affects everything around it and causes a chain reaction. And because of this, normal civilians that are outside of the Earthquake, are also in danger.

However, once the battle is over, the magic in the area quickly will start to disappear. From that point on, it becomes even harder to capture or contain a target. The reason is because an existence with even a little bit of magic can exist anywhere.

Hero candidates and retired heroes were typically the same. Just as they’re able to blend in with a crowd of people, it’d be a great pain to search for monsters that were blended in with the crowd.

Furthermore, the monster that the heroes aren’t able to extinguish right now, is an evil Wizard type with a lot of individuality and special powers. There were still many thing that were mysterious and uncertain about these monster types.

“There’s no choice.”

Rank A hero level 56, Tae Do Yum.

His battle merit today wasn’t too bad with the support of killing off 15 Type C Giants, and 43 Hounds. Tae Do felt that he accomplished enough for today and was planning on laying low.

Tae Do was an upright person that did not like standing out, and did not like grabbing other peoples’ attention. But, because of the Tentacle type, he was in no position to choose what he liked and didn’t like.

Tae Do had to give it his all.

The weapon that Tae Do favored was a thin and super long sword. Its brilliance could be seen even in the darkness, and anyone would be able to recognize its brightness.

The swaying sword blade slowly started to rise in heat. His name Tae Do Yum was very straight to the point. It meant that once his heat magic was sucked into the sword blade, Tae Do would be able to unleash a flame against its opponent.

Burn.

As the fire started getting intensely hot, the heroes around Tae Do slowly starting stepping back.

“Tae Do Yum, Can you do it?”

“If I couldn’t, I wouldn’t be trying in the first place. In the last year, I’ve been able to come up with a technique to get rid of my enemies with one attack. As a person who walks a certain path in martial arts, I’ve put in a lot of effort and practice for the innocent civilians.”

Tae Do took a couple steps forward.

And he closed his eyes. The heroes that doubted Tae Do were now backed away, and the Tentacle that’s been in a corner until now, moved its eyes around curiously.

Right as the tentacles were about to creep out.

“Go back to the place you came from, you monster.”

The moment Tae Do’s fire reached up to the skies, it fell upon the building and the monsters’ body. A Giant’s strength less corpse was used as a shield, and was horribly burning. The whole region around the Tentacle was also bathed in a sea of flames.

Swwooooooshh!

As the vicinity was filled with intense heat and flames, the heroes that backed away were now whistling and clapping. This attack from Tae Do was very flashy, yet powerful to the extreme.

The situation seems to have been handled.

In front of this overwhelming power, the tentacles seem to be burning and exploding as it cooks into nothingness.

Tae Do has finished off the Tentacle.

“Hey there!!! Do you have some time for an interview?”

A reporter was quickly by Tae Do’s side.

It was because of that flashy fire skill.

Although Tae Do looked to be unhappy, he was able to calculate at least this much happening and decided to answer silently.

“What is the name of that skill you just used?”

“I named it, the cosmos-destroying conflagration…………”

“Just as it is flashy, that’s an amazing name!! This skill……..”

 

 

All the monsters from Earthquake were now destroyed.

And the battlefield was coming to an end.

The Special Forces were sent to the shelter to help out the civilians, and the reconnaissance team were in a rush to get information over to the Organization.

“On September 19, 6:03am, the situation has come to a close.”

The battle that has continued on through the night has finally come to an end. Heroes that were busy fighting within that time were now relaxing, leaning on a wall and talking, or heading back towards their respective homes.

Reporters were running back and forth trying to catch the last interviews with these heroes. Although the battle scenes were important, they did not want to miss out on the scenes of them interviewing these hard working, winning heroes.

Everyone felt relaxed.

The Earthquake ended very well. Even with it being a hard to be seen, high leveled earthquake, the heroes did a fantastic job containing the situation. The Reporters were sweating on their feet as they rushed from one hero to the next.

Although the battle was over, the Reporters weren’t able to see the monsters dying within the flames. This may have just been for reassurance.

Of course, even if this was a normal battle, it would’ve been hard for them to see such a scene.

Within the sea of flames.

A very small lump of something avoided the deadly flames, as it wiggled its way into the ground. And as it dug in deeply into the ground, it landed itself into an all puddle of water in the waterworks.

Sizzle.

Although there was a sharp reaction from the intense flames that the lump felt, it was able to survive with its extraordinary amount of vitality.

CheepCheep.

As a rat came by to stare at the lump, the burnt lump stared back at it.

It was life.

A supply for one with low vitality.

The dying lump quickly attacked the rat. The surprised rat made a frantic, last-ditch effort. However, the lump was heavily stuck onto the rat’s body. A cold shriek could be heard, as the rat was tumbling about in pain underground.
