Chapter 166: Monster 2

Translator: - - Editor: - -

After giving Sora some advice after lunch, he was back to taking phone calls. Countries from all over the world were calling, and he spoke with them in their own language. Suddenly, the siren went off, and he raised his head.

Zaira was making an announcement and playing the video feed on their computers.

[There is a monster at the Guardians HQ parking lot. The highest emergency protocol has been issued.]

Weeeee, kchunk!

Steel plates about fifty centimeters thick came down and covered the walls. Junhyuk got up and tapped on the wall. He was astonished.

"Did we have this type of protection?"

Soon, a screen with Zaira’s feed appeared on the wall.

[A never-before-seen monster has appeared. The iron soldier is awaiting deployment.]

Junhyuk had also never seen that monster before. He had seen a lot of monsters, but that one looked entirely different.

"It looks sturdy!"

There was a seven-layered shell on its back, and the shell was covered in spikes. It was about five meters tall and it stood on four feet. Suddenly, it swung its tail, smashing the helicopter that was landed there. It was very powerful. The monster looked around and crouched.

Junhyuk heard Zaira.

[Iron soldier deployed.]

The screen changed, and the iron soldier appeared. It was outside and it extended its arms toward the monster, firing small napalm bombs.

Boom, boom, boom!

There was an uproar of explosions, and flames covered everything, but the monster appeared through the smoke and swung its tail against the iron soldier.

The iron soldier was pushed back and hit the wall. Crushing the normal outer wall, showcasing the steel plates that covered the entire building. The hit dented the steel.

Junhyuk clicked his tongue and looked at the monster. He didn’t know much about it, but he was sure of one thing: it had high defense.

The iron soldier’s attacks were useless against it. The iron soldier flew up and extend his arms, shooting bullets from its palms without a single miss. However, all of them bounced off the shell on its back, leaving Junhyuk astounded.

"It’s really dense!"

The iron soldier’s attacks were useless against the monster’s shell. Also, the fact that the monster appeared at Guardians HQ was very significant.

"They don’t want iron soldiers?"

The administrative personnel from the Dimensional Battlefield wanted people to activate their powers. Because a champion had come from Junhyuk’s dimension, they started putting monsters on Earth.

The monsters were there to get people to activate more powers, but the iron soldiers killed the monsters. They had to have changed their minds. So, they sent a new monster to kill iron soldiers.

Junhyuk wanted to keep watching. He might have to step in at some point, but not just yet. He saw weapons in the iron soldier that he hadn’t seen before. It carried state-of-the-art weaponry, but the monster wasn’t dying.

The shell on the monster’s back was coming off, but it wasn’t enough to kill it. They were at the highest threat alert level, so the phones wouldn’t work, and Junhyuk didn’t have to answer any more calls.

Junhyuk just relaxed in his seat and watched the iron soldier fight. The iron soldier flew up high and put its hands together.

Suddenly, its chest lit up, and a flame beam shot out of its hands. Junhyuk was watching it all and got up from his seat.

"That’s?!"

Boom!

It pressurized energy and shot it, and it looked a lot like Vera’s fire orb. The shock was so big, it shook the entire steel-walled building.

Junhyuk kept watching the monitor. Just now, the iron soldier had shown him something new. Could the armored monster withstand it?

The smoke cleared, and the monster appeared with half of the shell on its back gone.

The iron soldier saw it and extended its hand. Its chest lit up again, but the monster crouched and jumped. The iron soldier quickly evaded, but the monster’s tail grew and hit the iron soldier.

Bang!

It was an entirely different attack from before, and the iron soldier bounced away. Part of its torso was broken.

The monster rolled up into a ball in the air, and the spikes surrounded its entire body. Then, it started spinning, heading toward the iron soldier.

The iron soldier tried to escape, but the monster was quicker to close in and crash against it.

Crack, craaaack!

The iron soldier tried to stop the monster with its hands. However, the monster was spinning too fast, and the shock was too powerful. The impact smashed the iron soldier’s hands, but the iron soldier managed to stop the monster’s spin.

However, the monster’s spikes grew in size.

They pierced through the inner mechanism of the soldier’s arms, and Junhyuk clicked his tongue. The administrative personnel from the Dimensional Battlefield wasn’t easy to deal with.

"But it’s a relief!"

If they had sent buff monsters, the iron soldier wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. They had sent a monster of similar strength to the iron soldier, so they knew what they were doing.

"They didn’t send a disaster."

He kept watching. The iron soldiers arms were pointed at the monster, and its chest lit up. Another high energy beam shot out.

Boom!

The monster’s shell was already gone, so the energy went in and exploded. The building shook again. Junhyuk looked at the monitor, saw a shadow and clicked his tongue.

"That wasn’t enough?!"

The monster appeared. The iron soldier had possibly exploded. It wasn’t appearing on the screen.

[The iron soldier has stopped functioning.]

Junhyuk inspected the monster’s condition. It was torn up like a used rag, but it was still moving around. The monster swung its tail against the wall, piercing the steel plates. At that point, Junhyuk sacked his lips. The monster was more dangerous than he had expected.

"Should I step in?"

He summoned the Pure Golden Knight set items. If he summoned his swords, people would find out who he truly was, so he couldn’t do it.

He stood in front of the wall. Although he was able to smash through it easily, he didn’t do it.

"Come within my range."

Zaira continued filming, and he knew the monster’s exact location because of that.

[The monster is inside the building. Use the emergency exits and evacuate for the bunker.]

The ground opened up, and he was even more surprised. By using that path, he could reach the bunker safely. However, if he did, he would be too far from the monster.

So, he waited instead of moving. The monster was in the building, running around looking for people. Junhyuk thought everyone had already used the emergency path to get to the bunker. It was fast and it was coming toward Junhyuk.

"It’s capable of searching?!"

Zaira came back on.

[Move to the bunker.]

A steel wall came down, blocking the monster’s path, but it was torn apart. The monster had tore it up like a piece of paper, and the defense system wouldn’t hold against it.

The defense system was made to hold against any human attacks, but the monster was from another dimension, so the defense system had room to improve.

He looked at the escape route. It wasn’t shaped like stairs. If he went in, he would slide down, so he couldn’t do it yet.

[Last warning! The emergency route will be sealed soon.]

Junhyuk went toward the emergency path opening and focused on the noises coming behind his door. The monster was coming his way. He couldn’t see the video feed, but he could guess. However, he wasn’t sure about the distance. Without knowing the exact location, he wouldn’t attack.

Junhyuk stood in front of the escape route and looked over at his office’s door.

Boom! Boom!

The monster was close, and the wall shook. Junhyuk balled his hands into fists, and the escape route started closing.

[Emergency escape closing.]

To prevent the monster from reaching the bunker, the escape was being sealed.

Junhyuk watched it closing and looked at the steel wall.

Boom! Boom!

He heard the monster’s loud footsteps and jumped toward the emergency route while swinging his fist toward his office’s door.

The Spatial Slash covered the distance and hit the monster, but Junhyuk had used it with his fist. It was the first time he had tried it, but it was possible. The Pure Golden Knight set items had a lot of attack attributes, so even without using a weapon, he dealt a lot of damage.

He slid down the escape route, and the monster was left smashed behind the steel wall thanks to the spatial attack. The shockwaves created by the attack destroyed the steel plates covering the hallway.

Junhyuk was sliding toward the bunker that was located in the basement. When he got close, the slope flattened, and he landed on his feet.

He saw that everyone was there, and they were all looking at the monitor.

The video showed the monster’s body and a mess in the halway. Junhyuk quickly sent his Pure Golden Knight items away.

He learned that he could change the direction of the Spatial Slash depending on the weapon he used. When using a sword, the shockwaves traveled sideways. However, when using his fist, they made a ball.

Without using his weapon, the damage was lower, but he still killed the monster with his bare hands. He might not have been able to do it normally, but the monster’s shell was already gone from the iron soldier’s attacks.

He didn’t know what the personnel from the Dimensional Battlefield would think about what had happened, but he did what he had to do. If he hadn’t, the monster would have come into the bunker as well.

Junhyuk watched the monitor, and Eunseo came over to him on her wheelchair. She raised her glasses and asked sharply, "What did you do?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Why didn’t you follow the order to escape?"

She sounded icy, but he knew what she really meant. She was worried about him, and Junhyuk smiled awkwardly.

"I’m sorry. I was nervous and I couldn’t move."

Eunseo stared at him hard and sighed. She turned and looked at Elise.

"How did the monster die?"

Elise was looking at several screens and answered, "Some invisible shockwaves appeared. They appeared inside the monster’s stomach."

Elise looked hard at Junhyuk, and he smiled and said, "The iron soldier must have damaged the monster enough to kill it."

She smiled at that, and he avoided her attention.
