Episode 16

Near Exit 3 of Yeokgok Station.

Kang Jun-pyo, who was celebrating the weekend, was walking the streets aimlessly.

“Ha, why is nothing going right these days?”

Still, he was proud of his bow talent within the Zenix Academy.

However, as the days went by, his position decreased.

I mean the reason.

It was because of Cha Min-joon, who is showing unexpected activity all over the place.

Cha Min-joon, who has the lowest ranking in class D.

I didn’t know that he would be so good at bows that he surpassed himself.

From the first day of the confrontation over the Jenix ring, to the performance in the evaluation at the end of this month.

I couldn’t show a better side than Cha Min-joon.

Furthermore, a golem that could not be caught even with a crush bow made of hidden peace material.

Cha Min-jun proudly slaughtered such strong golems with a bow he had never seen before.

It was true that he had to admit such Min-Jun Cha, but Jun-Pyo Kang, who had a strong sense of self-respect, was not easily convinced.

“I’ll make up for it with this request. Since I won’t have anything to do with that bastard this time, I’ll definitely imprint my bow skills!”

No matter what happened at the end of the month evaluation.

The group with the best grades in class D was group 10.

Kang Jun-pyo was also qualified to be granted a request organized by the association.

Kang Jun-pyo intended to use this request as an opportunity to raise his position again.

“Before that, I need to have the crush bow checked again. It feels like its durability has dropped a bit lately.”

As much as it is a client organized by the association.

It was necessary to fully prepare.

Also, in the evaluation at the end of the month, there were parts where the crush bow was damaged by the golems.

Kang Jun-pyo visited a repair shop that specializes in repairing hunters’ weapons.

“After all, it’s the weekend! Why are people so crowded?”

At the crowd of people, Kang Jun-pyo was on edge.

Eventually, we arrived at a repair shop located near the exit of Yeokgok Station.

Suddenly, screams rang out from everywhere.

“Kyaaah”

“run! Run faster!”

“A monster, a monster!”

“Help me! fat… Please save me~!”

Kang Jun-pyo turned his head towards the sound of the scream.

“… what?!”

just a little while ago

The faces of the people who walked the streets with joyful expressions hardened.

I can’t.

All of them seemed busy taking backward steps.

▶Disaster Alert Message◀

[Regional Safety Headquarters] informs. At 9:56 a.m., an unknown gate appears near Yeokgok Station! Residents in the vicinity are requested to evacuate immediately.

“gate?! so suddenly? It’s not even the expected spawning area! why?”

Gate appearances today were predictable with modern technology.

Every year, of course, there were gates that appeared suddenly, but thanks to the activities of the hunters, it was significantly reduced.

By educating all citizens on how to cope, the death rate has also decreased.

That’s why it was rare for a gate to appear in the middle of a city before anyone expected it.

Kang Jun-pyo frowned for a moment.

I immediately saw this as an opportunity.

“Yes, it might have been an opportunity given to me! The rift management support team will definitely come in the middle… What if you could at least take care of things until then?!”

It not only raises the status of your own family.

In preparation for the upcoming Prow Academy transfer test, I thought that additional points might be imposed when filling out the application form.

“Okay, I’ll fix it!”

Kang Jun-pyo ran in the opposite direction where people were running away all at once.

***

Seoul Regional Safety Headquarters.

Team leader Oh Deok-young, who dedicated a weekend to managing cracks here.

He was struggling to grasp the current situation of Yeokgok Station in real time.

“Oh boss! A reply has now come from the management department.”

“What did you say?”

“uh… that is… … .”

“Don’t hesitate, speak quickly. Is this the time?!”

“Well, the crack that occurred near Chang-dong last week has not yet been resolved, so it is difficult to recruit people.”

“What, bullshit?! So, let’s just watch and watch? You don’t have to start with Bucheon right now!”

“First of all, I received a reply asking if it would be better to report the situation to the Crack Management Agency and ask for help.”

“Where’s the time for that?! It takes about 30 minutes at the earliest to be put into the field.”

Right away, there were no hunters to deal with the situation near Yeokgok Station.

That would be too.

This is because a crack was suddenly discovered near Chang-dong last week, and a large number of Hunters who were working nearby were put in.

“Uh, what should I do?”

“What do you do?! I need to ask for support from the private guild right now.”

“I will try to reply!”

“ha… … ”

Team leader Oh put both arms on his waist and sighed.

A crack is also a crack.

In the case of cracks that occur without any prediction, the situation is very urgent.

Unlike normal monsters.

The monsters that emerge from the cracks that suddenly appear are not only tyrannical.

There is a high probability that at least C-class monsters will appear.

Also, mostly unknown monsters appear.

The law of destruction has never been easy.

“Dongsik.”

“Yes, chief!”

“Wherever you are, go wherever you can ask for support. Remedy comes first now. If this goes wrong, the entire Bucheon area could disappear today.”

“yes! Let’s do our best!

“please… … . People are dangerous… … .”

***

Kang Jun-pyo ran towards Yeokgok Station.

The closer we got to the station, the louder and louder people’s screams became.

“Oh, Mom!!!”

“Hyeryeong-ah, stay there! Mom will go.”

“mom… mind!!!”

When a girl fell in the middle of the road, the child’s mother stopped running with an urgent voice.

By the way.

Behind the girl was a huge monster reminiscent of a cobra with its mouth wide open.

Kang Jun-pyo couldn’t just watch the scene.

“I’ll finish it in one shot.”

Kang Jun-pyo calmed down.

It was to bring out a small amount of mana.

Since the situation was critical, he was unable to gather a large amount of mana.

In his opinion, with just this amount of mana, he seemed able to subdue that grotesquely-looking cobra at once.

“Extreme Death!”

A skill that maximizes drawing and further increases the elasticity of arrows.

Kang Jun-pyo confidently fired an arrow.

aaah-!

“What do you think? Painful?!”

An arrow shot by Kang Jun-pyo was lodged in the guy’s chin.

Thinking that considerable pain would follow, he smiled in repentance.

Shaaagh-!

However, contrary to Kang Jun-pyo’s idea.

The boy’s eyes suddenly changed, and his sharp teeth were revealed even larger.

Shashashashak-!

After that, he rushed towards Kang Jun-pyo.

With a look full of anger at having interrupted his mealtime.

“Kuaaa!”

Kang Jun-pyo was hit by the guy’s torso and bounced off the wall.

He was seriously injured without even having time to attempt a fall.

“uh… how? It doesn’t do any damage… … . big! It must have been nailed properly… … . Cuckoo! no way?!”

In an instant, doubts arose about the crush bow he was holding.

There was no doubt that the durability had declined, but he hadn’t thought that even the power of the crush bow would have diminished.

“Big! I couldn’t see through that!”

That said, it was unacceptable for my pride to be knocked out by him in one blow.

Even when it’s hard to control your own body.

Kang Jun-pyo stood up steadfastly and raised the crush bow.

“I don’t know where the serpent came from, but I will definitely kill you with my own hands!”

Even in the midst of trembling.

Kang Jun-pyo hung several arrows on the strings.

Then, in order to mobilize the maximum amount of mana currently possessed, he calmed down his breathing.

“Distributed fire!”

Arrows flying high in the sky.

It flew all the way to the apex, then fell to the ground and stretched toward the target.

Shahahahaaa-!

But, he uses his long tongue.

He began to bounce the arrows flying towards him with a flexible tongue.

Ting- Ting- Ting-

“Huh!”

Kang Jun-pyo used a technique that was close to his main skill.

I couldn’t even imagine that my opponent would block it so easily.

“No words… Nonsense… … . My dispersion fire… Keugh!”

limp- limp-

Perhaps because of a bruise from a while ago, the strength in her legs was loosened before she knew it.

It was difficult to even stand still.

It was difficult to properly prepare for combat any longer.

The fortunate thing is.

Because Kang Jun-pyo bought time, it seemed that mother-daughter had escaped in the meantime.

I couldn’t even defeat that guy… … !

I haven’t even taken the entrance exam yet.

It seemed that he could not get away from this serpent that was eye to eye with him.

The guy slowly approached Kang Jun-pyo and started to stick his tongue out.

Shashaaa!

“go away! Even if it swallows something like me, it won’t even send a message! Get out of here!”

However, the guy who couldn’t listen to Kang Jun-pyo.

It only made her tongue stick out more dazzlingly.

Is the word last resort used in this case?

Kang Jun-pyo grabbed the crush bow that had fallen to the ground again.

“minute… minute… Dispersion!”

Has the mana been exhausted now?

Even when he recited his skills, he couldn’t feel the airflow of magical energy flowing through his body.

inevitably.

He was about to pull out the traditional arrow and draw a few more shots.

However, even this situation did not help Kang Jun-pyo.

aaang-!

“my… My crush bow!”

It’s broken.

Beyond the broken ones, fragments of the crush bow fell to the ground.

A crush bow whose durability has been exhausted.

When the crush bow, which was his everything, broke, Kang Jun-pyo felt that the world had collapsed.

“done… … .”

Kang Jun-pyo closed his eyes tightly.

Before long, the guy opened his mouth as wide as possible when he saw Kang Jun-pyo.

And rushed along with the powerful movement of the tail.

Shasha ah-

“Concentrated fire!!”

Shook- shook- shook-

However, a sudden thing happened.

on the brink of death.

The hand of salvation came to Kang Jun-pyo.

Suddenly, three arrows flew by, and the boy began to howl in pain.

at the same time.

In front of Kang Jun-pyo, a man with a familiar silhouette held up a ‘black bow’ and turned around.

“Fortunately, it is not too late. Get some rest now.”

“car… Minjun Cha! How are you?!”
