Volume 3 - CH 8

Chapter 8

Less than a minute after Burning Soul and Haneul disappeared, a new person appeared. They were fully equipped with gear.

“What the, where did Burning Soul run off to?”

“I’m, I’m not sure. Maybe he already left for the battlefield?”

These people were the Hero Reporter and cameraman. They quickly rushed over after hearing Haneul and Burning Soul’s dialogue, but they were already too late.

“Man, seriously! We have to get a shot of Burning Soul! There’s not much difference if we film Psychic President like the other Hero Reporter’s!”

However, because the Reporter had no other choice, they turned back around. They were now headed towards a Rank A hero’s fight.

Starting with the Psychic President, there were plenty of fierce battles going on.  Either way, a Reporter’s job is to show the sacrifices a hero makes in order to protect the people, so there was no point in complaining.

“Let’s go. We can’t go back empty handed you know.”

They started to run. Just as the heroes were risking their lives, this occupation resulted in their lives getting risked as well.

“Director, it seems like the species of monsters on the battlefield has grown by one more.”

‘What do you mean? The Hound’s and Giant’s are already on the field, how can there be another type of monster?”

“We were able to confirm that they opened the gate and stepped through.”

“That’s so bullshit. So, what monster appeared?”

“That is….. not too long ago, we confirmed the appearance of  the Wizard types.”

Suddenly, Director JooHyuk Park’s face distorted.

At the sound of hearing that it was the Wizard types, Director JooHyuk Park’s aides faces also hardened.

The reason why was because, if it was true, the whole circumstance changed.

Whether, it were the Giants, Hounds, or Reptiles, none of them can compare to the Wizards. They were on a different scale when compared to normal monsters.

“For Wizards to appear…..This is the worst case scenario.”

The base of a Wizard’s firepower was completely different. Just as the name states, they do not depend on physical force like the other monsters, and just like heroes, they’re able to use their magic in order to bring about special powers. Just looking back at the results from different earthquakes, whenever a Wizard appeared, there was never a time where they fully contained the situation. Also because there are so many Wizard entities, the Organization has not been able to put them in a specific classification.

“So, how many Wizards are there?”

“Currently, we’re able to see two of them and they seem to be releasing a lot of energy near many Rank A heroes.”

“What are the unique types for these Wizards?”

“One of them seems to be in the Tentacle family, and the other one seems to be from the Flame family.”

“Chet. Everything is going down the shithole. Who the fuck is the one that’s been specifying the level for the earthquakes? We got so much shit from the last earthquake at Central South, yet you guys make the same mistake?!  Everyone open your fucking ears and listen up! Starting now, we are not considering the East Area as a Level A Earthquake.”

“Yes sir! What level do you deem it to be then?”

“Isn’t that obvious? Obviously it’s Level S. Also, make sure you immediately let the heroes out there know the changes, and tell the Rank S heroes to fight in the front line.”

“Director, we only have one Rank S hero out on the battlefield currently!”

JooHyuk Park’s head felt like it was about to split. Usually, higher ranked heroes were never sent out when an earthquake was Level A or below. The reason was, because there was much more growth when fighting in a dangerous environment.

“So, which Rank S hero is at the location?”

“It’s the Level 19, Rank S hero Burning Soul.”

Level 19, Rank S hero Burning Soul. That hero that boasts his overwhelming firepower is on the battlefield right now?

“Our luck is good then. That person is on the field right now? Then inform the Rank A heroes to not push themselves, and instead support Burning Soul.”

“Yes sir!”

However, during JooHyuk Park’s orders, a message was relayed.

“Bu, Burning Soul is currently on an independent mission sir!”

“What was that? Are we not able to communicate with him?”

“N, no sir. We were told that he left on his own to the shelter for a rescue mission.”

“For fuck’s sake! He should’ve told headquarters if he was going to go on an independent mission. There’s nothing we can do, since it’s already happened. Hurry and organize some personnel’s and stick them with Burning Soul! With the appearance of the Wizard’s, we have no idea which monsters are going to be located by the shelter!!”

It’s only been 16 minutes since the main headquarters received the news that the shelter was in danger.

There was no use thinking about it. There is an overwhelming 60,000 people at the shelter, unable to move or do anything. If they weren’t able to save these 60,000 people, this whole mission was pointless.

Heroes fought in order to protect.

That is why the moment JooHyuk Park found out about the Wizards, he gave out orders to organize a hero team to go and protect the shelter. Even this was before the Wizards came out, and the earthquake was still Level A, JooHyuk Park wouldn’t have been too worried even if Burning Soul moved about independently.

However, with the appearance of the Wizards, there are no guarantees that the fight could be won even with a Rank S hero like Burning Soul. This was how fearsome the Wizard types were.

Suddenly, the visual showing on the screen shook and turned off.

“What the, what happened?!”

“It seems like moments ago, the Flame type wizard swept through and killed the reconnaissance team!!”

Every problem was being piled upon each other.

BANG!

“FUCK! WHY ISN’T ANYTHING WORKING OUT! THOSE DAMNED FUCKERS!”

Chapter 8 – End.
