Gangnam Station SY building.

The place where a large building with 7 floors underground and 20 floors above the ground used to be was covered with thick gray fog.

From a distance, the mist slowly swirling around looked like a huge gray tornado.

But fortunately, unlike tornadoes, it is fixed in one place and does not create a storm around it.

“The police have completed traffic control and are evacuating people in nearby buildings. So far, that barrier hasn’t expanded, but you don’t know what will happen.”

The rooftop of a high-rise building approximately 500 meters away from the SY building.

Go Tae-wook, director of the Gate Management Bureau, was watching the gray fog covering the SY Building with a sad expression.

“But it seems that there are so many people that it is not easy to evacuate. In particular, patients in hospitals have to be transported…”

Go Tae-wook shook his hand at the report of Yoo Dae-hyeon, head of Special 2.

“All right. Let the cops take care of that. We need to focus on rescuing the people trapped in those barriers. Did you find the gap in the barrier?”

“yes. Special 3 Division Manager Cha Soo-hyeok entered the gap with his team members composed of A-class hunters. In particular, Lee Dong-hyeok, the master of the Blue Dragon Guild and an S-class hunter, joined the team along with some guild members at the right time.”

Then, Go Tae-wook’s expression suddenly brightened.

There is probably no one in Korea who does not know the name of level 52 S-class hunter Lee Dong-hyeok.

“I’m at least relieved that Mr. Lee Dong-hyuk stepped in.”

“yes. Usually, I don’t do this kind of work because it’s annoying, but I think Lee Dong-hyeok’s wife and daughter were watching a movie at the SY building theater. Only a handful of A-rank hunters have been unable to reach each other, so it is a situation that is quite relieved as the top hunters of the Blue Dragon Guild voluntarily joined.”

At those words, Ko Tae-wook’s mouth twitched strangely.

“It’s nothing to say, but we should thank Lee Dong-hyeok’s wife and daughter.”

“yes. Frankly, yes. If his family wasn’t involved, Lee Dong-hyeok would never have moved the Blue Dragon Guild.”

At that time, someone hurriedly ran towards Ko Tae-wook.

“Chief! It’s a big deal!”

“It’s a big deal, what else?”

“An anomaly has occurred in the National Guard now!”

“What did you just say?”

Not only Ko Tae-wook, but everyone around him were astonished.

“Tell me in detail. Could it be that the National Guard building is now covered in fog like that?”

“No, that’s not it. It is not the main building of the National Guard, but the 4th annex building.”

Go Tae-wook stroked his chest.

It’s fortunate that it’s not the main building of the National Security Agency.

“If it’s the 4th annex, isn’t it the building where the Awakened Training Center is located?”

“yes. That’s right.”

“Have you identified the Awoken who are training?”

“It is estimated that there are about 10 people, but it is not known who exactly. Special Division 4 is currently requesting cooperation from Class A Hunters through the Awakened Emergency Contact Network, but it is not an easy situation. Most of them are in the gate, and those who can cooperate have joined the SY building side.”

Go Tae-wook shook his head.

“If you don’t have enough A-ranks, contact the B-rank hunters! If they aren’t enough, C-class hunters too!”

“Yes, Chief.”

Suddenly, Go Tae-wook’s face hardened.

“Can Hunter Kang Jun-young contact you right now?”

“Yes? That person catches vampires…”

“That’s not what I meant. You were at the Guardian until recently!”

“Kick Kiki Kiki!”

“Kreuk! Sniff sniff!”

“Kurrr!”

Junyoung put his ear to the door and listened to the sounds outside.

‘Is this the sound of monsters?’

Why is the sound of monsters that should only be heard at the gate coming from the corridor of the training hall?

bang!

At that moment, something presumed to be a monster started banging on the door of the private training room where Jun-young was.

“Krurruk! mmm! Krrr!”

Enemy! Enemy!

Along with the sound of heavy breathing, you can also hear him chewing on something.

And again the mad knock on the door!

bang! bang! bang!

Fortunately, the training room door was made very solid, so it didn’t budge.

“Kreurreuk!”

Then, the monster’s gurgling sound began to fade away.

When the iron gate did not break, it seemed to give up and go somewhere else.

‘I don’t know what it is, but there must be a monster outside.’

Joon-young, who was holding his breath and examining the sounds outside, couldn’t help but worry for a while.

‘Maybe something happened when the earthquake sounded.’

What if an earthquake?

‘It’s dangerous to stay here.’

It could end up being buried underground like it is now.

‘First, go outside and go up to the first floor.’

In the worst case scenario, you should be prepared to fight monsters.

‘Foot sword!’

In an instant, a smooth blue-silver sword was gripped in his right hand.

Earlier, I was so obsessed with it that it bothered me, but now there is nothing in the world as strong as this sword.

Sigh.

I opened the door slightly and looked outside.

Even when the dark hallway was illuminated with a light, it was empty, but no monsters were visible.

‘Which side was the emergency staircase on?’

I took the elevator down earlier, but now the electricity is out, so I have to use the emergency stairs.

‘Looks like over there?’

Guessing the location of the emergency stairs, Junyoung moved as much as possible without making footsteps.

Then one day.

“Kreuk!”

A black shadow appeared ahead.

When the light shines on it, its true identity is revealed.

‘That one?’

Red eyes shining from bloodshot eyes!

An upright monster with a wolf’s head!

It is a muscular body that is over 2 meters tall.

In one hand, he was holding the torn arm of a man, and since his mouth was covered in blood, he seemed to have eaten that arm.

‘Lycan slope!’

The moment Junyoung recognized it’s identity.

“Kurrr!”

thump thump thump!

He spat out the food he was chewing and started running at the speed of the wind.

‘this!’

It was already too late to dodge.

As he got closer, Junyoung instinctively injected mana into the sword and swung it.

Whip!

Then, the white cold air that bloomed from the sword covered the front.

Damn it!

The power of the cold air was processed.

Lycanthrope froze as it was running.

‘It’s completely frozen.’

It’s not the time to like it.

You must kill him before the cold state wears off.

No matter how low level the lycanthrope is, if that guy recovers to normal, he will become his meal.

bang! bang! Kwajak!!!

When he hurriedly swung his sword and stabbed the lycanthrope, the lycanthrope, which had been desperately rushing at any moment, froze and died.

[Your level has risen!]

The sword clings to me (2)

“Whoa!”

Junyoung let out a long sigh of relief.

Although he succeeded in wiping his sword instinctively, pouring out cold air, and hitting the frozen lycanthrope slopes.

From noble mtl dot com.

‘Why did the level rise?’

I went up from level 10 to level 11 while treating people bitten by vampires in the special ward earlier.

After that, let’s get rid of this lycanthrope now and the level rose again.

It means you have gained a lot of experience.

‘Could it be that this lycanthrope was that strong?’

Lycanthrope is a monster that appears in the gate quite often.

They are stronger than goblins, but I knew them to be on par with orcs.

However, when I thought about it, even if it was a lycanthrope, the ability could be very different.

‘what? Come to think of it, this guy was a whopping 2 stars.’

Just before, I had been swinging my sword with all my might, so I didn’t have time to look at it.

Surprisingly, when I looked at the lycanthrope’s body scattered on the floor, a 2-star (★★☆) mark was clearly shining through the hair on its forehead.

‘It’s a 2-star monster with a 3-star potential to be precise.’

If that’s the case, it’s understandable that the level went up all at once.

However, it is a bit of a mystery that a 2-star monster could be defeated so easily.

‘If it’s a vampire, I can understand it to some extent.’

As Cha Soo-hyeok said, <agile hands> are expressed through the sword.

It’s because he’s also wearing skill attack power level 1 reinforced gloves.

However, lycanthropes were not detected as vampires in <Vampire Detection>.

A 2-star monster, not a vampire!

No matter how much he consumed 50 mana and poured cold air, he was too helpless.

‘Is the power of this sword stronger than I imagined?’

The moment when a proud smile blooms on Junyoung’s lips.

Squeak!

The door to one of the private training rooms in the nearby hallway opened, and a man stuck his head out and asked.

“Who is there?”

A man in his early 30’s.

Then he saw the body of Lycanthrope lying on the floor and made a surprised expression.

“Could it be that you dealt with the monster?”

“yes. Don’t worry, he’s dead.”

“It wouldn’t have been easy for him, but I’m really glad he did.”

The man staggered out the door.

But his left sleeve was loose.

He was covered in blood, starting from his shoulder, and looking back, his left arm had been ripped off from his shoulder.

“Are you okay?”

Joon-young was surprised.

It was nice to see someone who wasn’t a monster, but his injuries were too bad.

Then the man glanced at Junyoung and took out his hunter ID from his front pocket.

“I’m sorry for the first meeting, but I can’t trust anyone right now. My name is Park Jun-woo, an A-class hunter. Maybe that one?”

“yes. I am Kang Jun-yeong, an A-rank hunter.”

In fact, Junyoung recognized the man’s identity from the beginning.

An existence with the power of “supernatural strength”.

Just looking at it, it was because he was an Awakener.

However, Park Jun-woo is trying to figure out his identity with a hunter certificate to see if he has the ability to see through the opponent’s characteristics like Jun-young.

When Jun-young also showed his hunter ID, Park Jun-woo finally sighed as if he was relieved.

“Whoa! Besides me, there was someone who trained on the 3rd floor. The training hall was so well-controlled that I thought I was alone on the third floor.”

“But what about that arm?”

For a moment, Park Jun-woo frowned and pointed at the lycanthrope corpse on the floor with his right hand.

“It happened while fighting that bastard. I thought I killed almost all of them, but my vitality was tougher than I thought. In the end, I lost my guard and stopped using my left arm… I almost died.”

Park Jun-woo glared coldly at the body of the lycanthrope below, as if his teeth were still grinding.

‘That’s what happened.’

Finally, Junyoung understood why he had killed the 2-star lycanthrope so easily.

In other words, Jun-young killed almost all of the A-class hunter Park Jun-woo, who had the 「Strength」 characteristic, with the last blow.

“Wait! You’re bleeding too much, Mr. Park Jun-woo! The monsters may come again, so you’d better get inside for now.”

Then Park Jun-woo looked at the body of the lycanthrope and found something.

“I can hold on, so don’t worry. More than that, wasn’t this guy holding a human arm?”

“You mean that?”

Junyoung pointed to a far corner of the hallway.

On that side was the arm of the person who had been eaten and thrown away by the lycanthrope.

Park Jun-woo, who saw that, was delighted.

“Yes, that is correct.”

“Then what about that arm?”

“yes. It’s my arm. Excuse me, could you pick it up for me? It’s hard for me to move.”

“yes.”

Joon-young quickly ran and picked up the arm.

“thank you! Thanks to you, I didn’t lose my arm!”

Park Jun-woo put on a very relieved yet grateful expression.

However, Junyoung did not understand what he was saying.

My arm is half gone and tattered, but I’m glad I didn’t lose it!

“Let’s dodge inside. It would be dangerous to be in the hallway in this state.”

“yes.”

Jun-yeong helped Park Jun-woo into the private training room right in front of him.

And shut the door well to keep the monster out.

A lantern was lit on the floor of the training room, and first aid kits, including bandages, were strewn about.

It seems that Park Jun-woo gave first aid in some way just a while ago, but that wouldn’t be enough.

“Looks like you’re bleeding too much. I’ll stop the bleeding first.”

“no! You don’t have to worry about anything. My characteristics are a bit peculiar, so if at least part of my left arm remains, it can be restored.”

“Are you restoring your arm?”

Does that mean that the Super Strength attribute also has such a mysterious restoration ability?

When Junyoung was surprised, Park Junwoo put his tattered left arm on his shoulder and said.

“You will know when you see it.”

But it really was.

Part of the left arm attached to Park Jun-woo’s left shoulder, which was covered in blood, wriggled, and soon the arm began to recover.

At first, something like a red tentacle protruded and lengthened, and then the form transformed and formed the shape of a perfect left arm.

“oh my god!”

It is an unbelievable sight to see with your own eyes.

Park Jun-woo grinned at Jun-yeong’s widened eyes.

“At first, everything is surprising. After seeing it a few times, they say that.”

“Could all parts of the body have such an ability?”

“no! Only two arms. If everything is then I will be immortal?”

“Still, that’s great.”

“Because of overexertion as much as using the power of supernatural power with both arms, it is repeatedly broken and restored from time to time.”

He continued with a look that said he had taken ten years.

“But if I had my arm completely ripped off like today, that would be impossible, so I almost lost my left arm forever. Kang Joon-young just caught him before he finished eating his arm, so I feel really dead and alive. I really don’t know how to thank you.”

Joon-young smiled shyly.

“you’re welcome. But do you know what the situation is like now?”

“I don’t know for sure, but it’s very likely one of the anomalies.”
