Ep107. The Second Disaster

After the first terror in which the three heroes helplessly got shocked and horrified.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM.

A pink storm began to appear again in the middle of downtown Seoul without notice.

The wind is so strong that it’s hard to open your eyes, and it’s tearing apart the outer walls of the building.

Dozens or hundreds of magic circles were created in the sky, and purple lightning, stars, and rays began to fall.

It began to fluctuate as if the city would be destroyed in an instant, as if it were the judgment of God who came to the world.

A vast sight that seems like a great disaster that only humans can’t stop.

In the middle of the place where buildings fluctuate and the ground shakes

Here, all the ordinary people have already fled to take care of their lives.

Only one woman was rushing into the heart of the storm.

“Urg…”

Stardus.

She is the A-class hero of South Korea.

She was the only one heading toward the center of the storm where the villain would be, breaking through the magical stormy gale.

“…Urg, arggg!”

And her figure.

It wasn’t even good to say empty words.

She can’t even open her eyes properly due to the strong wind that makes her body fly away.

As she barely opened my eyes and looked straight ahead, a situation that looked more desperate unfolded in front of her.

As if this is not the world, the sky is colored with a foreign color, pink.

And a lot more attacks on her than the last attack.

“…Argg!”

She managed to swing her arm and hit something big, purple star-shaped that flew toward her.

Bang-. Some star-shaped thing exploded like a firecracker when her fist hit it.

The purple powder flew everywhere, and disappeared without a trace.

And at the same time, lightning began to strike around her.

Crack-

Craaaaaaack

A strange sight of purple lightning striking from all sides

And at the same time.

Z i i i i i i n g-

-BOOOOOOOOM.

“Urg…”

Purple rays of destruction, pouring out of the magic circle from the air.

Here, covered in pink all over, with strong winds.

As if to eliminate intruders who have invaded their territory, purple star shells pouring from countless magic dusts, lightning strikes, and even rays emanating.

And Stardus.

She was struggling to endure it all alone and somehow advance even one step by step.

“Haa… Haa…”

Shin Haru clenched her teeth.

After the previous attack, she pushed herself and fiercely prepared for the next terrorist attack.

She was already strong enough to surpass the human level, but she pushed herself further. To overcome her own limitations

But, as if all her efforts were just a joke.

The enemy is back.

Stronger than before

“Ahhhhh!”

Avoiding the sudden rays of light from the front, she rolled on the ground.

The enemy was still so strong, but she became weaker when she came inside.

Her body became slow and dull like a sandbag that was fasten up, as if it was weighed down by something,

And it was really harsh for her to deal with the disaster in front of her.

Fortunately, the association, which had been previously notified the attack would happen again and given the date, evacuated civilians quickly.

So now, when she has a chance.

The villain at the center of the storm had to be dealt with.

By herself.

With no one to help her.

“Urgg…”

She thought about it, but she thought about it without realizing it.

She is a hero.

And as a hero, she’s the one who saves others.

So who’s going to save the hero?

Who’s going to help the hero?

“…No one. No one.”

There’s no one.

Hero must stand up alone and fight alone against the endless evil that comes at her.

That’s right.

She doesn’t need anything.

After all, the only one who believes in her is herself.

She clenched her teeth at the thought.

All right.

Stop thinking nonsense.

This ordeal, she has to overcome it herself.

At any cost.

Again with her determination, she jumped once again at all those magics rushing toward her.

And on her body,

A yellow stream of light appeared that she herself did not notice.

***

“Haru… Sob! You’re awakening your ability again!!!”

Seeing the yellow rays emanating from the TV, I, like an expert about Stardus, realized what was happening right away.

A state of awakening in which Stardus’ ability is amplified in extreme situations. As it remains strong to some extent even after the awakening is over, it’s a good event where ability grows every time it occurs.

I didn’t expect her to fight with Moonlight Shaman because she had only one time before I crashed in, but it turned out pretty well.

All right. This is… It’s working…

As I was crying while watching it, Seo-eun, who was also watching it, sighed and muttered.

“Haa… Why is she getting stronger again? It’s hard to meet the specifications…”

Seo-eun, who was muttering something to herself, looked at me as if she had suddenly realized something and asked me.

“But aren’t things going to go wrong?”

“Sob. What?”

“I mean. In this terrorist attack, after Stardus loses again, your plan is to break in and kidnap her the next time she comes. But what if Stardus gets stronger and wins now?”

Oh.

So, since Stardus just awakened herself, what if she gets strong and catches Moonlight Shaman?

I kindly explained to Seo-eun, who was worried about such useless things.

“Seo-eun… If it were to be solved so easily, would I be crying like this?”

“Then?”

“Moonlight Shaman is very strong right now. Very very strong.”

Because it’s all kinds of buff and debuff pre-installed by the leader of Wolgwanggyo, Cheon Wol-hwang, it’s not easy to beat Moonlight Shaman in this state even for an S-class hero from the U.S.

So, that means she cannot win even with her growth at present.

“Argg… I cannot watch this”

“Da-in… Why are you swallowing your fist when you’re crying…?”

I held on with my eyes closed like that.

I cannot bear to see it. What a terrible sight!

And as expected.

A little later, I heard another explosion in my ear.

[BOOOOOM-.]

[Everyone! At this moment, Stardus was thrown out of the storm! It seems like she was caught in a big attack!]

Haa. As expected.

So terrible.

***

“Urgg…”

Stardus, who ended up being bounced off by the attack.

Falling on the floor, she stumbled up after a while.

Still with one knee on the ground, panting

“Haa… Haa…”

She did her best.

She ran inside with all her forces.

But as expected.

The result hasn’t changed at all from before.

“Haha… Hahahaha…”

A much stronger enemy

How the hell will she beat that?

Only then did she realize.

Oh.

I cannot defeat that.

The moment that thought came to her.

Again a terrible sense of despair hovered in her.

I cannot do this.

Is it the end?

In the future, she will have no choice but to watch her destroy everything without being able to do anything.

What the hell is that monster in there?

Is it that strong?

She’s beginning to be eaten away by negative emotions.

However, shaking off her head once.

Led by a staggering body, she ran back into the storm.

All right.

She’s a hero.

Even when she falls down, she has to fight.

As she was running back into the storm, her eyes,

Obviously, they were getting darker than before.

***

An unreal pink storm that destroyed everything.

The sight of all kinds of magic circles in the air.

Following last time, the storm is destroying the city with overwhelming power once again.

Without blood or tears, even a word, she quietly destroyed Seoul.

Manipulating all the storms.

A young woman with long black straight hair, wearing a white shaman suit, kneeling and praying with her eyes closed.

The woman quietly shattered the surroundings with the wind sweeping around her.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”

She was in a cold sweat, constantly apologizing but no one could hear.

‘Oh no. People are getting hurt because of me… Because of me…’

She’s almost in tears now.

But contrary to that idea, her hands were constantly drawing magic circles in the air, creating the storm.

‘I cannot help it…’

That’s right, it can’t be helped.

Her body is already practically bound by the leader.

With the magic he planted in her, she has no choice but to move like a puppet as he tells her to.

Maybe forever, she might have to live being controlled by him. Hurting others until her death.

She held on to her frustrated heart again at the thought and continued the work.

As she was attacking with magic circles, it was her job to secretly break down nearby buildings without hurting the citizens.

She kept destroying the city with the storm and stopping the hero who ran toward with her magic.

Soon, she paused for a moment at the voice of the leader that resonated in her ears.

My child. We’re done now. So let the world know about ‘Wolgwang’, then go back.

The order to return has been given.

Finally, this senseless act of sabotage can be stopped.

With a sigh of relief, she slowly wrapped up the storm and prepared to shoot the world ‘Wolgwang’ into the sky.

Although she’s stepping down now.

Maybe soon. She’ll have to come out to destroy another city.

Go on and on.

Under the leader’s hands.

“…Will someone come to save me someday?”

She muttered so unconsciously, then smiled bitterly.

Impossible.

This world is not a fairy tale book with a prince riding on a white horse.

And as she thinks about the sins she’s committed so far.

Maybe.

Isn’t death the only salvation for her?

With that in mind, she conjured up 月光(Wolgwang) and floated it in the sky

The long second attack is also finally over.

***

[I saw the 月光 pattern in the sky! The attack is finally over. Our hero lost again…]

As soon as it was confirmed that the second terrorist attack was over, I jumped out of my seat.

“Da-in?”

“Da-in?”

While everyone was looking at me suspiciously, who suddenly got up.

I proclaimed it to all.

“Okay. From now on, we have to get ready.”

Only for the purpose of growing Stardus. I have endured it twice so far with the will to prevent destruction through this.

So, now.

“To prevent the next terrorist attack, we will get things ready. Soobin, please contact them. Tell them to come back.”

“What? Oh, okay!”

I ran my fingers through my hair and moved to the place where all my plans were prepared in advance.

Yeah, it’s finally time to step up.

I will end this long exhausting event that will completely destroy Seoul, which took place dozens of times in the original comic, with my own hands now.

To save the Republic of Korea.

To save Moonlight Shaman who suffers from the Wolgwanggyo.

And

For Stardus, who will have to continue suffering.

“Come on!! Hurry up and gather!”

D-7 until the next terror.

Until then, everything is perfectly prepared.

All arrangements to kidnap Moonlight Shaman.

Hold on, Stardus.

I’m coming!!!
