Help (2)
“Aaaaaaa!”
Kim Woo-hyun, wearing a military cap, was running on the dark subway tracks.
My breath went up to the tip of my chin.
Sweat dripped down her short hair, which was drenched in sweat.
It’s been a long time since I threw away my luggage.
However, I couldn’t stop.
Because the moment you stop, you die.
Kuheh-!
Thum- thump- thump- thump-
A huge mass of corpses over 7m that is now chasing right behind him.
It was a monstrous Abomination with a hideous face, as if it were made by stitching pieces of fat humans and monsters together.
“Save me!”
The first time I came to the ghost platform field located in Sinseol-dong Station, there was no problem.
It was because they were hunting safely in this place, where most of the zombies and skeletons were harmless.
He was faithful to his role as a porter and silently followed the curse of the members of the Silvermoon Guild, who said that items did not come out well and that it was all because of Kim Woo-hyun, a cursed character.
However, the Abomination suddenly broke through the subway tracks and protruded from the floor.
The guy was chasing Kim Woo-hyun after blowing away 5 members of the Silvermoon Guild with a bone knife in an instant.
“Ah-! help me! no one! Rescue team! Come fuck me!”
The screaming Kim Woo-hyun must have been annoyed, and the Abomination swung the huge bone knife in his hand.
Fortunately, the bone knife passed Kim Woo-hyeon’s head by a short distance and
left
a long scar on the wall next to the track.
Big chunks of stone crumbs.
One of them hit Kim Woo-hyun in the back.
“Kuh-.”
Kim Woo-hyun was pushed by the shock and tripped on the track and fell.
Kim Woo-hyun rolled over several times.
It was a dark subway station, but a darker shade was cast over his head.
‘Is it the end…. It’s like this.’
Kim Woo-hyun gave up everything and closed his eyes.
My past life passed before my eyes like a kaleidoscope.
Silvermoon Guild members of the same guild that died earlier.
I was blinded by the down payment of 10 million won and signed a slave contract with them.
Afterwards, he became a porter and was forced to risk his life to wander around the dungeon in order to pay the down payment.
Awakening, but having a useless skill with zero effectiveness.
Even the life of losing parents during the cataclysm and moving from one orphanage to another.
It was a life full of misfortune.
Kim Woo-hyun cursed the world.
“Damn luck… ruin it.”
It was then.
Someone grabbed Kim Woo-hyun’s body, who had fallen on the floor, and rolled roughly on the floor.
bang!
A bone knife struck where Kim Woo-hyun was.
“Who who?”
Kim Woo-hyun, who was unexpectedly saved, looked at who was holding him.
It was Jeong Sang-woo, a man with an impressive sad look.
* * *
To test the power of monsterized alter ego No. 1, Sang-woo came to the ghost platform field of Sinseol-dong Station, where E-class monsters such as zombies and skeletons appear.
The hunt was successful.
It was because No. 1, who became a monster with abnormally increased physical abilities, easily wiped out the zombies.
Its ability surpassed Sang-woo and was comparable to that of a D-class hunter with an average ability level of 2-3.
Kung-kung-
The sound that Sang-woo heard in his ears as he was returning from hunting like that.
As I followed the sound, I saw Kim Woo-hyun, a small person who had collapsed on the floor.
And the Abomination, a huge monster striking down a bone knife on top of it.
“… screw it up.”
Kim Woo-hyun mumbled something, but Sang-woo, who couldn’t hear it, grabbed Kim Woo-hyun and rolled on the floor in a hurry without even thinking about giving an order to his alter ego.
“Who who?”
Kim Woo-hyun was bewildered.
However, there was no time to explain.
Because bone knives were flying.
“damage!”
Sang-woo, who left those words, moved his body again.
Kim Woo-hyun also came to his senses and flew to the other side.
Quaang!
The bone knife wielded by the Abomination split the subway tracks in half and blew away the stone pillars supporting the subway station.
The two of them evade by moving between the stone pillars that still remain.
Perhaps because of that, the Abomination couldn’t easily catch the two.
And maybe because I met another Hunter?
As soon as Kim Woo-hyun had the hope that he might be able to live, he was running away even more desperately.
At that moment, a bullet went through the Abomination’s head.
To-du-du-du-
du-du- alter ego 2-3 started firing support.
At the same time, another monster attacked the Abomination.
The humanoid monster was No. 1 who became a monster.
1 burrowed into the vicinity of the Abomination’s left leg with surprising speed.
Immediately after that, the claws on the two arms that had grown huge mercilessly sliced the Abomination’s calf.
Chuak-chuak-
The appearance of drooling to the point of drooling was a monster.
Kreurreu-
Even the controlled movements unique to his alter ego were gone, but his strength was amazing.
In a short moment, Abomination’s legs, which looked much thicker than a human torso, were dug into nearly half of the flesh.
But that was the limit of No. 1.
The Abomination slapped its left hand at No. 1.
Puck-
No. 1 gets hit by that hand and bounces off the floor like a bouncy ball.
No. 1 tried to stand up again as if the damage was irrelevant, but he flinched on the floor unable to move as if his leg was broken.
In the meantime, Sang-woo started shooting along with the rest of his clones.
Do-du-du-du-du
-du- The bullets fired by the three began to pierce the head of the Abomination.
[Your marksmanship level has risen.]
‘No way… are you going to win?’
The firepower was so great that Kim Woo-hyun thought so.
However, is that not enough?
Chur uh uh-!
The Abomination rushed at Sang-woo and the alter egos screaming and shooting.
‘damage!’
Fortunately, unlike No. 1, who became a monster, the alter egos took care of themselves and avoided them.
However, a moment of urgency continued as if he would die if he made even one mistake.
“Damn it, the damage won’t stick.”
Sang-woo manages to distance himself from the Abomination.
Sang-woo grumbled as he threw away the empty magazine and put in a new one.
Originally, undead monsters have tough vitality.
But among them, the Abomination, a C-class monster, had tremendous vitality compared to other undead monsters because of its huge body.
It was enough to shoot them all day long to kill them with a rifle.
‘I can’t catch this. Let’s run away.’
In the end, Sang-woo made the decision to run away with the clones as bait.
He found Kim Woo-hyun.
“Hey… Huh?”
Kim Woo-hyun was next to number 1.
It seemed that while the Abomination was aiming for the alter egos, it turned around and approached No. 1.
The figure of No. 1 lying on the floor and wriggling.
Even though it turned into a monster, it looked dangerous as if it would die at any moment.
“It would just bounce…. Ha Kim Woo-hyun, you crazy bitch. What did you come here for?”
Kim Woo-hyun, who seems to regret it very much, blames himself.
However, he did not stop what he was doing even though he continued to grumble.
As he watched No. 1 die, he pulled out a small plastic potion bottle from his arms.
It was in the shape of a potion containing syrup that you would find at a drugstore.
“Hey, if you eat this, you can live a little longer. Instead, you shouldn’t blame me.”
Then Kim Woo-hyun squeezed the potion into No. 1’s mouth.
The potion flowed through Number 1’s mouth.
At the same time, a change occurred.
The body of No. 1, which had been crushed as if it had become porridge, was regenerated at a remarkable speed.
In an instant, No. 1, who became lively, jumped up from his seat.
Sang-woo came and stood beside him.
“…Hey No. 1, help the alter egos.”
“Kreurre- yes.”
After answering, No. 1 ran towards the Abomination.
While the lively No. 1 drags the aggro of the Abomination.
Sang-woo, who watched the scene from the side, asked Kim Woo-hyun with a surprised expression.
“Hey, what did you feed Number 1?”
“The potion I made.”
“A potion? Wow- you were such a noble alchemist.”
“…similar. But there are some side effects…”
“Side effects?”
“… Life force is being cut.”
“Tell me in detail.”
Kim Woo-hyun opened his mouth about his skills.
His skill is toxicology.

It was said to be a skill that uses poison to create items such as potions.
The potion made like that had a great effect to the extent of restoring the body, so it was a very excellent skill.
But there was a problem.
The side effects were too severe.
“… Then it means that Number 1 will soon run out of vitality and die.”
“…If you’re destined to die anyway, you’d better do something.”
Who would want to eat a potion that would kill you if you ate it?
However, while listening to the potion explained by Kim Woo-hyun, Sang-woo seemed to have an idea.
“it’s okay. It’s an alter ego after all.”
“An alter ego?”
“yes. So don’t beat yourself up. But. Why are you talking half-heartedly?”
It was only then that Kim Woo-hyun realized that he had been talking nonsense without even realizing it.
A cold sweat ran down his back.
‘What can I do? If he’s a bad guy, me… No. Let’s just go hard. Don’t look down on me.’
In the rough society Kim Woo-hyun lived in, it was the end if he looked down on him once.
That’s why I decided to go strong on purpose.
“That so. what. Did you speak half-heartedly too?”
Kim Woo-hyun answered timidly.
Jeong Sang-woo looked at him as if he was dumbfounded.
“… okay. Anyway, do you have that explosive potion?”
“there is.”
“Give me one.”
“If I eat this, my body might explode…?”
“I have a plan, give it to me. hurry.”
Sang-woo receives a mana activation potion from Kim Woo-hyun.
On the outside, it looks like the syrup sold in pharmacies.
“What is this name?”
“It’s a mana active potion.”
“Mana Activation Potion… No, it’s a self-destruct potion.”
“what?”
Sang-woo ignored Kim Woo-hyun and called in No. 1, who was fighting hard.
No. 2 and No. 3 are quickly endangered when No. 1 falls out.
Sang-woo fed No. 1 a mana activation potion without delay.
“No, what if I feed it to a person!”
Kim Woo-hyun gets restless when he sees it.
Sang-woo didn’t bother to reply and looked at No. 1.
‘It’s about to burst.’
However, even after eating the mana activation potion, No. 1 had no reaction.
“When will this explode?”
“I don’t know! I never tried it!”
“what!”
“If you eat it, you will die. How can I use it!”
Woohyun Kim shouted.
After all, no one knows whether it will explode now, five minutes later, or an hour later.
A situation where the plan is about to go awry.
“… it’s ruined. uh?”
It was when Sang-woo was regretting it.
Fortunately, the response started to come.
No. 1’s skin moves around.
Something began to pop out of No. 1’s skin, as if there were bugs in it.
Seeing that, Woohyun Kim screamed.
“Ouch! It explodes!”
Sang-woo felt it too.
‘No.1 cling to the Abomination!’
Then, regardless of the protruding skin, No. 1 jumped toward the Abomination.
The Abomination wields a bone knife to keep in check No. 1, who came close while dealing with No. 2 and No. 3.
Number 1 rolled down to avoid the bone knife, and then started climbing up the Abomination’s legs and bulging upper body.
It was when the Abomination grabbed the body of No. 1 with one arm in order to remove it.
Wiiyiing- In that
fleeting moment, two beams of light began to leak from No. 1’s body.
And then it started to burn bright white.
An intense flash immediately followed.
Kwakang-
The light dyed the dark subway brightly.
* * *
Sinseol-dong Station Ghost Platform field.
There was a lifeguard station nearby.
A rescue team that exists to rescue hunters who are injured or call for SOS while hunting.
They consisted of hunters replacing military service.
Rescue worker Kim Gil-sang had also enlisted and was assigned to the rescue team.
‘Ha it’s boring.’
Even today, it was the time when I was waiting at the entrance of the field while cleaning up the monsters crawling out of the field.
The emergency bell rang.
“This is an emergency. Move!”
Rescuers move in order according to the instructions of the rescue leader.
They quickly moved to the place where the distress signal was received.
Tudu-dou-Dudu-
The dark subway station was seen with the gunshot and the fireworks were seen.
“There.”
Rescuers went straight there.
Then, what appeared was the Abomination, a monster with a huge body, and men struggling against it.
Men who look alike.
Then another monstrous man charged at the Abomination.
“Support!”
The rescue leader, a C-class hunter, jumped in to help him.
That moment.
Light emanated from the body of the man clinging to the Abomination.
and.
Kwak-Ang –
An immense amount of light and pressure hit the subway station.
Kil-sang Kim, pushed to the back by the pressure.
A red light streamed from the webcam on his shoulder as he passed out.
