Chapter 29: (part1): Season 1 – Preparation

Chapter 29: (part1): Season 1 – Preparation

Park Sung-hyung currently led the Korean Union. As Hyun-seok had sensed, he was an outstanding leader. Inheriting the spirit of the Executioners, the Korean Union had already firmly established its position as the representative organization for Slayers.

When one or two people praised you, it could be dismissed as mere flattery. If around ten people praised you, one could question the sincerity behind their words. However, when not just ten, but hundreds and thousands of people echoed the same sentiment, it revealed the true character of the person.

The guild members of IUET, the high-ranking officials of the Union, and even those who knew Sung-hyung personally all praised his leadership. The common consensus among people regarding Sung-hyung was that he possessed ambition but didnt succumb to selfish desires that would compromise his integrity. Sung-hyungs perception of leadership reflected these qualities. In him, there was a unique and captivating charm that captivated peoples hearts.

Just before boarding the helicopter, Sung-hyung spoke.

This could be a great opportunity for us.

He didnt say anything more. It was indeed a good opportunity, but it could also be their last chance. If they died, everything would come to an end. Hyun-seok knew what Sung-hyung meant. Ever since the establishment of the Korean Union, they had gradually revealed the current plight of the Slayers, who were being exploited by the government, or so it seemed. As a result, many Slayers were now demanding the restoration of their rights.

The Korean Union had received helicopter support from the government. The squad assigned to exterminate the Cyclops consisted of around 80 members. The group of 80 individuals divided themselves among the helicopters.Hyun-seok was feeling incredibly anxious. Despite using the fastest available means of transportation, he couldnt shake off his restlessness. Cyclops, bizarrely enough, was sprawled out on the playground of Wonju High School, peacefully taking a nap. What was even more astonishing was that the government seemed incapable of dealing with such a defenseless monster. Using weapons more powerful than missiles could potentially harm the children within the school. While there was talk of seeking refuge underground, the use of even more destructive weapons was still pending.

Apart from his unease, Hyun-seok found himself contemplating the current situation more deeply. It was something he had been pondering for quite some time, but it became more tangible as he listened to Sung-hyungs words.

At present, Cyclops is a monster beyond the governments control.

If it were an open field, they could unleash their firepower, but one encounter was in the mountains, and the other in the city. It was difficult to mobilize firepower, and even if they did, there was no certainty that it would inflict any damage.

It was a brilliant decision to form a squad from the Korean Union.

If there is a background called the Korean Union

If thats the case, he believed it was right to give his all in this slaying. If he had made up his mind to deal with monsters from the start, he had to do it decisively. The government was powerless, so he had to show that he had the power to handle things on this side.

But will my power be effective against that creature?

It wasnt certain. Hyun-seok had never engaged in unsafe slaying before. Even when slaying with IUET, he only attacked from behind. When conquering dungeons, he always moved after obtaining sufficient information about them. The same applied when slaying monsters.

Ultimately, slaying an unknown monster was a first-time experience for him. If Min-seo wasnt involved, there was a high probability he wouldnt have made a move this time either. Nevertheless, he acted, and now he was trying his best to observe the current situation with a cool and composed mindset.

I think taking on the vanguard position would be better.

In the current slaying, the concept of a vanguard was quite close to defense. It could be likened to the notion of tanking in online games, drawing aggro and focusing on defense. The concept of a rear guard was akin to that of a dealer.

Although classes diversified as they entered normal mode, the overall structure remained similar. It was a form of attacking with melee weapons. If the attack power was high, the defense power would naturally be high, and if the defense power was high, the attack power would also be high. So, it was not strictly divided like a tanker or a dealer, but it could be seen as a similar concept.
