246 – Chapter 10. It’s not a fight (6)

After setting up base camp at a hotel in Pattaya Island, I arrived at Coral Island with Yoon Hye-ra.

new baby.

There was no one on the shore, only silence.

No matter how much they came in at night to move through the darkness, the cold night air and the sound of the wind made the entire island dreary as if it were an abandoned place.

“This is so. Wait a minute. I’ll turn off the engine and drive myself.”

“How about following the waves?”

“Situation report.”

Rather, I was worried that the sound of the ship’s motor would resonate, and from the moment I saw the island of the succubus, I made a bat like an oar and drove the ship to the shore myself.

“Can you feel the presence around the island?”

“No. I don’t feel it. That’s why it gives me more goosebumps.”

I hugged Yoon Hye-ra and ran to the sandy beach.

Sand getting on your shoes wasn’t a big deal.

The real problem is the traces that should be on the island of the succubus.

“…there is no sign of any attempt to escape from the island.”

“I don’t think it’s just this place. You’ve looked all around. There’s no other place.”

There was nothing of it.

There were no traces of anything to be seen.

Before entering the sandy beach, I checked the coast by going around the entire coral island with a boat, but there was no trace.

“You wouldn’t have erased the traces, would you?”

“Yes. It hasn’t been that long since the riots started. Of course, two days would be enough time, but…”

“If it was manpower, it would have moved on a large scale, so it would have been caught in the society’s surveillance network, and if it was erased with the power of this ability, we would have read the reverberation of magic.”

Neither.

Therefore, you need to check it yourself.

“Let’s go in.”

I moved to the inside of the island with Yoon Hye-ra.

“see?”

“No. Not at all. No presence at all. No magical response. Immediately outwardly.”

I’ll have to look further in, but at least there are no sightings near the shore, approached by boat.

“There must be a being that can escape our perception, or something else. One, there is something we can feel.”

Yoon Hye-ra swept the dirt floor with her hand.

“Brother. Look at this.”

“…It seems this one was closer to the correct answer.”

I let out a sigh of relief at the traces that seemed to be wet somewhere under the pile of dirt.

The marks were red bloodstains.

It was a trace of blood, which was believed to have flowed only two days ago, seeped under the soil.

“I don’t think it’s the blood of a person with special powers, but it looks like it’s just normal human blood.”

“That’s more of a problem. I can’t pinpoint which one.”

Who is the owner of this blood?

Judging by the amount of blood, it looks like he has a big wound, but I can’t feel it.

“Considering their tendencies, they must have already passed out, right?”

“Yeah. Perhaps Hyangdan took action. Even if it wasn’t… Judging from the situation, it seems that the situation was already sorted out at the same time when we raided the god’s resting place.”

I tried to raid one place and check the other one sequentially.

Laplace died, Hyangdan was kicked out, and General Jeokrang committed suicide, so he should be able to afford it.

I hope something goes wrong in two days.

While I’m recovering my mana to deal with Hyangdan that may appear, something big will happen.

I hoped with complacency.

Because without such expectations and hopes, what happens on this island will be the same as what happens anywhere else.

“Shouldn’t the two of you have split up and attacked?”

“If that’s the case, I would have been slow and dragged on all the time and would have died.”

“…Yes. Since we united and attacked the god’s resting place, it ended with one person’s head exploding.

“I’m not talking about human heads, but what is it, like Puyo Puyo?”

“Perhaps. Even if we arrived at the fastest speed in the united state, it would have been that speed, but maybe if it was slower…”

He wouldn’t have been able to open the magic barrier and block Laplace’s signal to the god’s resting place.

He would not have been able to destroy the missiles fired by General Jeokrang.

After going inside the facility and quickly removing the bombworms in the heads of those inside the prison, they would not have been able to fly towards Laplace at full speed and deal with him.

“I know in my head that it is impossible, but in my heart it is not.”

“Brother. That’s a very heroic idea.”

“Sometimes I want to be a hero. Seeing things like this.”

There are long bloodstains on the floor.

“To think that these people will live happily in a world we will rule one day, it’s very sad and bitter.”

“…Still, let’s not give up hope. You never know.”

It wasn’t just bloodstains, but the elongated bloodstains were traces of a person running away from the inside, and I followed the bloodstains with Yoon Hye-ra and went inside.

“The villains, I think, are thorough and vicious guys more than we think. If we say that we are the people designated as villains by the government, we can really say that they are ‘evil’ themselves.”

The more you go into the island, the more bloodstains there are.

And next to the bloodstain, something like powder is flying.

Should I say it’s a human trace?

If there is a corpse, even a corpse with a missing head, it must be the same as the slaves in the god’s resting place.

But there are no bodies, only bloodstains.

There might even be a piece of human flesh or a piece of the body left, but nothing exists.

Really, nothing.

“Brother, there is a hotel over there.”

“…As befits the place that Laplace and General Jeokrang managed directly, it’s a large-scale facility. It’s reminiscent of a casino, isn’t it?”

The size of the coral island is not large, but it is suitable for building a building.

The size of the island is smaller than God’s Rest, but considering that only VIPs selected by Laplace and the others can enter this place, this place would be more than God’s rest, not less.

“It was Nguyen who decided which island to attack first, but we respected that choice and decided to follow through. The good thing is… the worst of what you think didn’t seem to have happened.”

“What do you think is the worst?”

“Exterminate.”

Yoon Hye-ra said casually.

“For fear of revealing the true nature of those on the island of succubus, killing all the people on this island and then burning or drowning the island.”

“…I thought you would.”

Like most other villains, I thought Laplace and others would do the same.

“They thought they would kill everyone inside the island, destroy and blow up all the data on the island, and then escape safely from the island. …But cutting off the heads was more effective than I thought.”

An ant whose head has been cut off is bound to wriggle and die according to its instincts and pheromones imprinted on its body, leaving only its body.

Since all the people who could think were gone, the person in charge on this island of succubus had to make a decision.

“Considering what he’s done so far, he deserves an immediate execution, but first of all, I’ll have to look at the situation inside and think about how I’m going to execute him.”

“…Hey, don’t you feel it?”

“yes.”

The moment we approached the front door of a large casino-like hotel, the lens in the CCTV camera moved toward us.

[It just caught on.]

[There are still people, right?]

Transformation does not take time.

We had already transformed except for the mask, and we didn’t reveal our faces to anyone.

But did we wear masks?

that others are in it.

Kwa-eu-ang!

I ran straight to the front door and kicked it with my foot.

The thick iron door, along with the hinges on the side of the door, went in and fell in an instant.

The hotel lobby was dreary with no light.

It was like seeing a haunted house that had been neglected for a long time, and Yoon Hye-ra and Gung-gi, who had entered, pointed to the central staircase leading right in front of the front door.

[I can feel it now. Maybe there is a barrier magician? It seems that the building is made of a material that blocks magic?]

[They are bold. To think that two S-classes hide their magical power so thoroughly that they can only be felt when they enter the building themselves.]

I stretched the bat forward.

He put the tip of the bat down and gripped the handle upside down, injecting magic power into the bat.

[Cheongeunchu.]

Kooong!!

The bat fell to the floor like a multi-ton object.

It didn’t just fall and roll sideways, it fell down, breaking the marble floor in an instant.

And the bat just fell further down.

Below the hotel lobby, toward the basement floor.

Goo goo.

After a while, there was a vibration.

thick!!

The hotel lobby, where me and I were standing, sat down as it was.

I also jumped up before my archery collapsed lightly, and landed lightly inside, pushing the dirt away with my magical power.

[Lee Yeon Cheon Geun Cho.]

I stood with my feet together on top of the bat that had fallen down.

The mana of the whole body was strongly pressed downward, and the bat thrust downwards pushed the ground deeper and shattered the ceiling of the basement floor.

[Adds a feather.]

[Oh, what are you saying?]

Kooo!

The moment I stretched out my hand to the gunggi and the gunggi grabbed my hand, the space below went black, almost to the 4th basement level.

and looked

A group of people at the end of the corridor leading to the other side of the vertical cavity, as if coming down from an elevator.

[I don’t know if I should say I’m glad I’m alive.]

see.

those who are terrified.

Women who are more frightened by encountering goblins than being discovered by humans.

All of them appear to be in their early 20s.

Other than that, the others are invisible.

That’s right, because everyone here is a ‘person with special abilities’.

[…yes. This is reality.]

Dirty and nasty reality.

Their own patriotism created by the strongest of the Hero Association and the pinnacle of the military in order to exploit the desire of those with special abilities and those who want to be patriotic.

Island of the Succubus.

The succubus here is a slang term for a person with special abilities who is E-rank or lower than that.

…When everyone says to walk the path of HERO, here are those who chose the path of H and ERO.
