Volume 6 – Dominator
Chapter 10
JooHyuk’s aide carefully walked up to his side.
“Director, please calm down.”
“Does it look like I can right now! Look at the situation! What is a Hero! What are Heroes for! There are people who wish they could fight but don’t have the power to, yet these guys are just sitting here doing nothing while getting paid. Motherfuckers!”
JooHyuk loosened his tie. His blood pressure went up so the back of his neck felt really stiff.
Being a Director in the Hero Organization is a high status that no one can deny. Especially for the state of affairs Director JooHyuk Park. He had successfully been a part of the military defense system and had 4 stars on his shoulders in the past.
There wasn’t any indicator to show what status a Director had, but they were treated as special officials with the ranking of a general or higher.
In other words, this meant that if JooHyuk really wanted to put a Hero or 2 down to the ground, he could. Especially for situations like this where the Heroes weren’t obeying orders and following through with their mission, JooHyuk could get a couple of their past situations and add it onto their crimes.
The problem was that, JooHyuk was the one in charge of this mission, and if anything happened, the one to be hit with the biggest offense was himself.
That’s when one of the Heroes finally decided to be brave and started to move.
“There has been contact from the Special Forces. Not too long ago, the Rank A Hero Sonic Boom was seen heading into the scene by himself.”
“Sonic Boom huh. Good, at least there’s another fucker that can understand and obey orders. However, why aren’t the other ones moving as well! Contact them again!”
As JooHyuk finished off the last sentence while holding in his anger, he gave out the next orders.
“Have the Special Forces continue their current mission, but have them choose a separate team to act independently. Silver Knight was the first to enter the scene, so the situation should be somewhat finished by now. Try to evade in engaging battles as much as possible, and also make it a priority to send as much detail to headquarters regarding the current situation as often as possible.”
As JooHyuk’s orders were in place, the Special Forces started moving. An independent team was quickly made and sent over to the hospital at the fastest rate, as the situation was captured on the screen.
As the team got closer to the hospital, the screen continued to get blurry. However, using special equipment that could even work within an Earthquake, the scene continued to work although the sound was completely fuzzy.
<We will now be heading into the scene.>
At last, as they walked into the Hospital, the interior was captured on screen. It showed a messy interior, and lying on the ground was a carcass of a nurse that was currently not moving.
“We found life. We think it’s the corps of the monster!”
“Tell them to immediately send the forensics team to find out more information about the monster.”
Less than 10 minutes after the orders were given, the forensic teams came in to check the body.
<The shape is a bit crushed, but it seems to be the same shape as a human’s brain. It seems to be a type that uses a tentacle, and shoves it into a person’s spine to control them.”
“What a horrific bastard. Starting now, that monster will be known as the dominator type and will be put into its own category. That guy’s current level is unavailable, but treat it as being at least at the B Level range when confronting it.”
Looking at everything that’s happened in the Hospital so far and the engaging aspect, Level A would probably be the highest level given to it.
‘Is it a parasitic type that multiplies itself? It doesn’t seem to have much of a destructive type of power, but it’s not an easy adversary. If that thing was to make its way out from the current scene…….”
“This is going to be super tiring.”
JooHyuk took out a cigarette as he sighed.
Bang!!
The number of monsters coming in succession was starting to grow. Everyone within this Hospital might have already turned into monsters.
“Fuck, there’s no end to this.”
Monsters kept appearing from everywhere.
‘Ironman might have already been done in as well.’
If the situation continued like this, it would be difficult to fight while protecting Minhee. It also seemed like the monster’s noticed Haneul was trying to advance as quickly as possible. If not that, then they knew it would be hard for Haneul to fight while protecting all of the weak civilians, because the monster’s attacks were becoming more relentless.
‘How difficult. I’m not really good at fighting while protecting someone.’
Haneul’s fighting capabilities were very high, but he had to be able to reach out with his hands and fight the enemy in close combat. This mean that, Haneul’s fighting style was inadequate to protect and fight at the same time.
‘Let’s fight to get this girl away from this situation and into a safer place.’
The monsters continued to appear at the stairs.
Thankfully, these monsters were all reaching out and trying to get to the person with the highest amount of magic.
‘Is the main body on the 5th floor?’
Different from what Haneul’s felt so far, there was a huge wave of magic pouring out from a place not too far from him. The magic wave Haneul felt was a lot smaller when he first came into the Hospital.
‘Is this thing evolving or something?’
As Haneul thought this, he checked his retreating line.
He needed to find a safe route to take Minhee out from the Hospital. However, Haneul could not see that the monsters were guiding their hosts to surround him.
Haneul’s capabilities of sensing wasn’t too great. At the same time, he could not capture senses in an omnidirectional circumstance.
‘Shit. While I was trying to focus on the main body, I didn’t realize that I’ve been surrounded. It would be okay if I was by myself, but this girl will get hurt. There’s nothing I can do about it. Getting in this situation, there’s not much I can do but jump out from the window. I’ll shoot straight through to my retreating route.’
Right when Haneul turned his head.
“Stop it……..It hurts……”
As Haneul tried to punch out, a tentacle stopped moving and muttered those words.
Haneul’s face distorted.
“Stop it…….It hurts……..Save me…….”
With a shocked expression, Haneul started walking backwards.
These guys were different compared to before. The people in front of Haneul were talking as if they had their own conscience. Asking to be saved!
Chapter 10 – End.
