##123
Soon other hunters joined. A fairly stable formation was formed, and the disturbance disappeared. There was definitely less strain on the body than when the two of us did it, so the speed became a little faster.
Citizens who came out indiscriminately also followed instructions and evacuated out of Seoul, unlike when they were moving in a chaotic manner. Now that it was dark night, it seemed like most of the citizens of Seoul had left the city on the ground or through underground shelters.
The cracks were wider than before and monsters were coming out occasionally, but hunters from all over the country were responding to this as well. The situation was much better than when I first saw this crack.
“If we keep going like this, I think we’ll be able to close it without any problems?”
“Wow, I was really wondering what would happen just a moment ago… … .”
“Why don’t you stop talking about that.”
Oh Min-gyu poured cold water on the excited words of the A-class hunters who joined. I thought it was fortunate that Oh Min-gyu spoke like that. If it weren’t for Oh Min-gyu, I think Baek Geon-oh would have said something.
“Yeah, that’s right. Because you shouldn’t raise a flag for no reason… … .”
“Oh, but what is that?”
One quiet A-class hunter spoke. When talking about flags, it was an ominous word that felt just like a flag.
“Hey, don’t say weird things.”
“No, really… “Look at that.”
Hunter pointed to the crack.
“They’re not moving, your eyelids.”
I quietly looked towards the crack. surely… The eyelids, which had been blinking slowly just a moment ago, remained motionless.
“I guess it’s just a coincidence.”
“… … “I guess so?”
Hunter nodded in understanding with an uncomfortable look on his face. But the feeling of discomfort had spread to everyone.
Everyone couldn’t take their eyes off me, but their eyelids slowly moved. However, rather than closing his eyes, on the contrary, he opened them wider. So much so that the blood vessels in the whites of the eyes are visible.
“W-what is it?”
“Upset… … .”
As if it had discovered us and was observing us closely. The black cock that had been sitting still in one place moved.
“I’m not the only one who’s creeped out, right?”
“No, I’m creepy too.”
“Haha, you won’t shoot beams with your eyes or anything, right?”
It may have been said as a joke, but since it was an unknown entity, it was not impossible, so I didn’t laugh. Hunter, who had been talking with a smile, pursed her lips when he saw her worsening mood.
“Stop talking nonsense and close it quickly.”
Oh Min-gyu scolded Hunter. For now, I agree with that statement.
The slightly excited atmosphere became quiet. Something inside the crack was moving differently than before. Staring with wide eyes or blinking rapidly.
Everyone was quite tired, to say the least, from the continuous work. I felt Baek Geon-oh’s gaze glancing at me. I wish you wouldn’t look at it so blatantly.
Anyway, I could see the other side pretty clearly now. If the work continued like this, it would be resolved without any problems.
Even as I thought that, my heart started pounding anxiously. She couldn’t tell if this was just anxiety or a premonition of something.
– … … I’m sure it will help. The strength you overcame.
At that moment, the voice I heard in the fantasy passed by my ears. It was a voice that briefly continued at the end of a nightmare dreaming of the worst past.
“Heewon, what’s wrong?”
“No, just…” … .”
The moment I was about to answer that it was no big deal.
An uneasy feeling rose up like a fire poured with oil. I instinctively grabbed the people who were moving forward.
And then something huge passed by where they were.
“what… what?”
Something escaped from the crack, which was already several meters high. It looked like a long stick, and the top was covered with a hard shell.
Something thick enough to barely slip through the gap was stirring around. It was a movement as if something was being pushed into a newly discovered hole.
“What are you doing, keep closing it!”
Hunter came to his senses and began to close the crack again. As she closed the crack, little by little, the stick-like object was pushed aside.
But it was too early to feel relieved. It seemed to disappear inside the crack, and then began gnawing at the end. As if trying to rip open a crack and expand it.
“that… “Is it a finger?”
Someone muttered. After hearing that and looking again, there was a corner that definitely looked like a finger. A finger with nails cut short.
The fingers that were gnawing at the crack stopped. And as I thought it was moving away, it suddenly came closer. Not just one like before, but with dozens of fingers.
The first thing we saw was the smallest finger. The fingers got bigger and bigger as I went to the side. Then, at some point, it became smaller again, and I couldn’t figure out how it was structured.
The problem was that as the fingers gnawed, the cracks expanded a little faster.
“omg… … .”
Someone gasped in surprise. The expression of the hunter holding the magic stone became impatient.
The fingers widened the crack that was already widening, and this time, several more slowly slipped out. The sight of pure white fingers moving in the air was extremely unrealistic.
His outstretched fingers wandered around. It was a light gesture, but it could never be ignored due to its huge size.
Although it resembled a human finger, its structure was completely different. Rather, it moved freely, like a taffy stick, as if it had no bones inside. And then my hand, which was fluttering helplessly, ended up touching a high-rise building.
Coo!
It was clearly a light movement, but the building it touched was smashed to pieces, as if it had been deliberately intended to be demolished. It was a formidable force. It was obvious that if I was hit like that, I wouldn’t be able to recover even a single bone.
The first to react to the finger that was about to strike this side was Baek Geon-oh.
Baek Geon-oh’s outstretched sword cut his finger. Compared to the fact that the building was destroyed carelessly, it split easier than expected. The inside was white, like looking at the cross section of a squid. Without even a moment to like it, the cut section was quickly put back together.
“Try one more time.”
I urged Baek Geon-oh. Baek Geon-o immediately swung his sword and split it equally. I grabbed the split piece with my skill and tore it off on both sides. My fingernails cracked and part of my finger was torn off.
Good profit… … .
A horrifying sound, like fingernails scratching an iron plate, echoed from inside the crack. I thought it might be a scream of pain from the owner of this hand. Anyway, it worked. It was the moment when I was about to rip off all my fingers.
The section that had been cut a little while ago started bubbling, and in an instant, the finger grew back.
“Holy shit.”
Baek Geon-oh muttered an insult. There were often monsters that could infinitely restore their bodies in this way. Usually, when dealing with monsters like this, it was best to target their weak points or cores.
However, what we are dealing with is a huge monster with many fingers, and the main body of this huge monster is still inside the crack. It was impossible to attack as planned.
In other words, there is no immediate way to defeat it. Closing the rift is valid, so we have no choice but to continue as we are doing.
“You close the crack!”
I shouted at Baek Geon-oh and used my skill to forcefully push away his flailing hand. The hand that was trying to hit this direction was blocked without reaching the target.
“There’s really a lot going on.”
Oh Min-gyu struck an electric shock on his finger. The lightning flashed loudly and struck… Maybe his hands were insulators, but it didn’t really help.
“Close that crack too!”
One day, I shot Oh Min-gyu, who was taking petty revenge on me, and handed the magic stone I had to the A-class hunter next to me.
“Please write this. “I have something to do.”
“yes? Yes, ah, yes!”
I left the hunter who was frantically answering questions and took a seat a little away from my group.
The only person on the other side who could block this hand was Kwon Sa-hyeok, who moves objects with shadows. It would be nice to have someone with similar skills among the A-class, but it would not be as powerful as the S-class.
So I had to do it right now.
I had no confidence that I could do it, as I had seen the power of destroying a building with just a passing glance earlier.
I thought of Seo Hee-won, who tried to destroy the world. Jaehee Lee said that the crack before his eyes was the result. I had to take responsibility. I wanted to take responsibility.
I concentrated very hard.
