23 – Hero (6)

A hero’s ability is simple.

mythology.

tale.

history.

Ghost story.

The ability to transform into a character in a famous story widely circulated by the public.

Unlike the villains who wield the power privately, those who are dedicated to serving the people while enforcing justice are called heroes.

I was also a hero.

Military officer of the Goryeo Dynasty.

historical figure.

‘God of War, Cheok Joon-kyung’ was my transformation form.

However, unusually, my form did not stop at one.

The year I turned twenty

Unlike normal heroes, I have a second form.

To put it mildly, it’s a variant or a special case…

If you look at the cause, the word defective product fits very well.

why is it bad?

That’s because he wasn’t an absolute good like regular heroes.

Heroes who are not judged to be evil, smile kindly and forgive generously even if they curse and beat them.

Because of their horrendous indoctrination and education, they harbored no hatred of the citizens. No matter how much swear words and criticism, even terrorism in the worst case. never.

Literally absolute.

Beings who are called heroes in front and are chewed up as Hogu in the back.

It was absurd.

Why do we have to protect people to the point of enduring so much contempt and contempt?

of many heroes.

Only I had such a question.

So I was different from them.

Although it didn’t show on the outside.

Always harboring dissatisfaction with the hero system and hatred for the citizens.

Of course, his personality did not deteriorate to the point of becoming a villain.

Enduring and enduring somehow,

I lived my life suppressing the feelings of anger deep in my heart.

The emotions that have been suppressed like that trigger a terrible injection, and a new form is created through it.

. . . Although not an established theory, there has never been a conjecture as reliable as that.

anyway.

Is it because it is an unusual ability?

The second form was impossible to transform in its normal state.

However, it was possible to transform into a new person as long as the conditions were met.

That condition was drinking.

I said before that there was an injection that I couldn’t afford, but in fact, it’s not at the level that I can dismiss it as an injection. The film doesn’t stop, but when you’re drunk, your ego is distorted. very terribly.

Because of this, the second form was very difficult to use.

With the condition being drunk,

Even the penalty of falling into a 24-hour sleep when the transformation is canceled.

Even if he had a strength comparable to that of the number one hero, it wasn’t an ability that he could use as he pleased. So it was an ability that I had in my previous life.

There is one reason I am mentioning this story now.

Because that ability that I had forgotten about was manifested again in this life.

It was only a few days ago.

On that day, I was suddenly intrigued.

I wonder if the injections from my previous life still remain.

As I live my social life, there will come a day when I have to drink alcohol, so I decided that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to experiment in advance.

So I only drank a little bit of alcohol.

Ask Kaebi, one of the artifacts Lee Hyun-sung bought before, with the restraints filled.

The moment when Kaebi poured a small amount of alcohol into my mouth.

Surprisingly, the same thing as in the previous life happened.

I could see the world turning gray.

My heart was beating so fast that my heart would jump out.

I wanted to kill anyone.

I wanted to get the lost color back.

It was only for a while that the twisted desires rose slowly.

He gasped for breath and soon came to his senses.

It was dangerous if you drank it heavily.

Confirming that I had the same injection as in my previous life, I immediately looked at the status window.

Then, down the list of general skills.

●Conditional skill

[Transformation – Leather Face]

The story of a famous movie classified as a ghost story.

A character from a horror movie.

The ability to transform into the chainsaw killer ‘Leatherface’ was displayed intact.

A skill that can only be activated while intoxicated.

The skill he had in his previous life was created.

Apparently, it was a skill that was bound to the soul, not the body.

After that, I vowed to never drink alcohol in this life.

I could use this skill as a trump card, but I wanted to keep it sealed forever.

because,

“…it’ll be fine since I put a protective shield on it to block the view.”

My injection is dead.

It was because they committed an indiscriminate massacre without being able to distinguish between enemies and allies.

But it’s fine now.

Inside the protective shield, there is only me and the monsters.

The massacre is over if there are no living beings immediately in sight.

It means that if you only deal with them and wait inside the shield until the injection is released, there will be no problem.

I just drank the cheap liquor from the water bottle.

My body staggers.

I see the world turning gray.

Even the monsters that were attacking me at high speed turned gray.

***

ㅡKio.

ㅡKio?

A rainbow bird and numerous birds are looking at a human being.

The human suddenly drank something and began to emit a misty mist from his body.

The fog that flowed incessantly filled all directions and blocked the sight of all monsters.

such a short time passes

A doll appeared in the place where the human was, clearing the fog.

He was a strangely dressed man wearing a mask with holes only for the eyes and an apron that reached down to his knees.

—-Kioo…

A terrifying aura felt from a human who has transformed into a different appearance than before.

The monsters involuntarily took a backward step.

Rainbow Bird was no exception.

“…”

A giant chainsaw was held in the hand of the masked man.

The man started the chainsaw without a word.

Weiyiing-!

With the sound of a saw blade turning, the man takes a step forward.

As if to match it, the monsters took a step back at the same time.

An unknown fear was entangling the monsters.

ㅡKioo!

Still, the two Rainbow Birds, who were three-star monsters, did not back down this time. Conversely, she exhaled death and glared at the man fiercely.

But the man didn’t care and continued to move forward.

He spat out strange words in a voice that cracked like scratching iron.

“…Give it back.”

A man looks at the ground.

Then, after scanning the monsters, he looked up at the sky.

everything was dull

The man’s world turned gray.

Even the Rainbow Bird, which boasts colorful feathers, looks all gray.

“…”

The man took another step in silence.

The man wanted color.

Recovering the lost color was simple.

ㅡKioo!

—-Kio…!

All you have to do is dig into the bodies of living beings.

Because beautiful and colorful colors are sleeping inside their bodies.

Squeak-

The man who disappeared into the fog, leaving behind only an afterimage, caught Bird in an instant.

ㅡKiooo!!!

And without hesitation, he thrust the ever-rotating saw blade into Bird’s neck.

Colorful streams of water gushed from Bird’s neck.

red, blue, yellow, green…

To others, it was just red blood, but to the man’s eyes, it was like multi-colored paint.

“hahahaha···!”

The man gasped for breath, unable to control his excitement at the joy of regaining his lost color.

Now the man’s head was filled with one thought.

The world that has become a gray drawing paper must be painted over with various colors of paint.

That’s how I had to return it to the original world.

For that, more paint was needed.

In order to fulfill his mission, the man who finished the massacre disappeared into the fog again.

Due to the thick fog that hung over the ground, the demonic spirits’ visibility was drastically reduced.

In that situation, Lee Hyun-seong’s movement, which seemed to flow through the fog, could be said to be rare.

In the end, the monsters were slaughtered one after another helplessly.

If a scream stops in one place, within seconds the screams resonate elsewhere.

The frightened monsters chose to run away, but due to the narrow field of view, they collided with each other and became entangled.

in that abyss.

The two Rainbow Birds did not stop resisting.

One flapped its wings and scattered its feathers at random, while the other spewed fire from its mouth in all directions.

Of course, even if that was the case, only the same monsters would die.

The attack reached Lee Hyun-seong in a way that sometimes got caught, but it couldn’t do even a speck of damage.

One of the three unique abilities of Lee Hyeon-seong who became Leatherface.

first ability.

It was because of ‘Attack Nullification’, which has the effect of nullifying the attack of the opponent who felt fear in himself.

Rainbow Bird was also afraid of Lee Hyun-seong, so no matter how desperately he tried to attack him, he couldn’t get a single scratch.

“…hah, hahahaha.”

with heightened excitement.

Lee Hyun-seong finally approached a rainbow bird.

Wheein-!

As he swung the chainsaw in his hand horizontally, Rainbow Bird’s leg was gently cut off like silken tofu.

ㅡkiooo!!!!

This is your second ability.

It was the effect of a ‘one-sided slaughter’ that ignored the defense of the opponent who was pressed by fear.

As you can see just by looking at the two abilities.

It was no exaggeration to say that the source of Leatherface’s power was all fear.

What if the opponent doesn’t feel fear?

Naturally, the first and second abilities become useless.

However, that rarely happened.

third ability.

horror zone.

The ability to create a realm of one’s own by emitting a misty mist from one’s body.

Any creature that comes in contact with this fog will feel unconditional fear of Leatherface.

There are no exceptions for living beings with emotions.

I don’t know if it’s a special case like a golem.

ㅡKioo·······.

Rainbow Bird realizes that he is left alone now when he can no longer hear the screams that have resounded incessantly.

The momentum of trying to fight to the end went nowhere, and Rainbow Bird moved its neck from side to side like a rusted machine with its body fully shrunk.

So I kept looking around and being alert.

Quietly, holding your breath.

Minimizing movement was the right decision.

Because Lee Hyeon-seong was also in a state of limited vision in this fog.

It was only relying on sound to find monsters.

Rainbow Bird was able to buy a moment of time due to its own wise choice, but it was literally a moment.

“···found.”

With the eerie sound of spinning saw blades.

Rainbow Bird’s leg is cut off,

The falling torso is cut off,

Even the neck was cut off.

Only blood-stained monsters were reflected in his pupils.

***

“Can’t I turn it off now?”

outside the shield.

A man from the Emergency Response Department who arrived ten minutes ago spoke to Seo Han-bit as if he was frustrated.

“You still have one minute left.”

Seo Han-bit flatly refused.

Because the 30 minutes Lee Hyun-sung said hadn’t passed yet.

The emergency department, who ran after receiving Baek Chi-yeol’s report, tried to forcefully break the protective barrier and enter, but Seo Han-bit urged them and stubbornly dissuaded them.

Absolutely not.

Please wait until 30 minutes have passed.

Of course, there was an anxious mind.

However, Seo Han-bit was stomping his feet, recalling the warning not to release the shield until 30 minutes had passed no matter what.

‘Are you all right…?’

Seo Han-bit was worried about Lee Hyeon-seong’s safety, but he controlled his mind, assuming that his life would still be attached.

If it had already happened, the monsters would have broken the shield and came out.

It didn’t matter as long as I had a life attached to it.

No matter how severely injured he was, he was confident that he would heal completely.

‘···I don’t know why, but it seems that my blood phobia has been greatly alleviated. I can probably heal enough without sunglasses.’

Maybe the reason why his blood phobia subsided was because he was shocked to see Lee Hyun-sung almost die because of him?

It was when Seo Han-bit was immersed in such thoughts.

“Hasn’t it been a minute now?”

The man from the Emergency Response Department, who was constantly checking his watch, urged.

After checking the time on his cell phone, Seo Han-bit immediately released the protective film.

The interior scene was revealed along with the protective film that was gradually released.

“What is this…”

People from the Emergency Response Department, who were rushing to enter, hesitated at the same time and couldn’t take their steps.

Baek Chi-yeol and Seo Han-bit, who followed behind, also froze in their seats after seeing the scene inside.

They all had faces of astonishment.

“A student at the bottom of the rankings caught all these monsters by himself?”

“Crazy, there’s also a Rainbow Bird, right?”

“Let’s find the students first.”

They moved forward, removing the corpses of the monsters that had been brutally cut down with their feet.

“How many were there?”

“…Even if I couldn’t do this, wouldn’t it have exceeded 100?”

Is it because there are so many monsters whose bodies are separated?

Even though the number was only fifty, it created an illusion as if they had subdued over a hundred monsters.

While continuing the search for survivors.

“What’s over there!?”

The man walking in the lead pointed to a place and shouted.

In that direction was the body of Rainbow Bird, which had been neatly cut off.

What the man was pointing at was something in the shape of a human lying on its torso.

“…Are you a person?”

“Let’s check it out first.”

While approaching like that.

A small breathing sound came from the figure.

“Sah, do you think it’s the right person?”

They hurried their steps further.

Then, Lee Hyun-seong, who was soaked in bright red blood, clearly came into his field of vision.

It looked like he had been showered with blood.

“You must be alive, right?”

“You can hear breathing. of course he’ll be alive Check your body quickly.”

“…no trauma whatsoever. He must have fallen asleep.”

Lee Hyun-seong is sound asleep.

People from the emergency services department glanced at him with complex expressions on their faces.

That will be too.

A place is also a place.

It was because he was asleep with a happy expression in contrast to his hideous face.

like a sweet dream
