Episode 249 [Hero (5)]
The monster has fallen.
The awakened people who participated in the fight were very surprised by the mana pouring in. There were even awakened people whose ranks went up.
The awakened people were happy.
Although no mana was obtained, everyone who watched the broadcast, including the soldiers and citizens of Moscow who were listening to the broadcast in the air raid shelter, cheered.
It was a monster of enormous size.
When the helicopters were destroyed all at once and the surrounding buildings collapsed, it was thought that disaster would strike.
No one expected to see such a monster defeated in person, even on screen.
The people on the broadcasting station’s helicopter who left the screen until the end screamed with joy, and the broadcasting station gaped at the highest viewership rating in history.
After a round of cheering, everyone remembered the man who appeared last and defeated the monster.
Internet bulletin boards where cheers were posted were also plastered with stories about the man.
Who is the man who appeared at the end? Does anyone know that awakened person?
ㄴFirst time springing.
Was it possible for an awakened person to do something like that? That’s like a hero from a movie.
ㄴIsn’t it a trait? I just stuck the sword into the wound made by the female awakener.
There’s no way it would explode like that if you stab it in! Other awakened people’s attacks didn’t even work!
ㄴIt doesn’t seem like a trait, does it? He stomped on a big sword and then later took out a cool sword and sharpened it all.
I’ve never heard of such a great awakened person, whether it’s a trait or anything else.
Aren’t you an EV enforcer like Helmet Man? EV Enforcer is famous among awakened people.
Anyway, everyone was great and fought hard. I apologize for hating the Awakened people all this time.
ㄴNo, it’s okay for a man, but is there any information about a female awakener who makes gold out of thin air? I am your number one fan!
It looks like a fan club will be formed soon.
BBut you look young. Aren’t Westerners still in their teens?
ㄴThen it’s better!
ㄴPolice man! There’s a criminal here!
There were other stories mixed in, but most of the stories were about a girl flying through the sky on a winged lion and a man who appeared at the end and exploded the monster.
The Internet wasn’t the only story. Family and friends who watched the broadcast. The news spread to everyone, including the elderly and children.
And people who knew Kyung-hoon’s face were left speechless after watching the broadcast.
“Hey, that’s Kyung-hoon, right?”
“…Oh my god, were you fighting a monster like that?”
Jin Xia-wei and Liu Yi-ling, who were watching the broadcast, were surprised to recognize Kyung-hoon, and
Omar, who was with them, bit his lip when he saw the broken swords in Kyung-hoon’s hands.
I had to make a proper weapon.
Although Eve and the engineers at SG Electronics created a cool rail gun, Kyung-hoon needed a proper sword.
Jump up.
Omar got up from his seat and headed to the workshop. It was no time to rest.
People who knew Kyung-hoon before his awakening couldn’t believe that the person on the screen was Kyung-hoon, and people who knew him afterward were also very surprised to learn of Kyung-hoon’s skills.
The same was true for the leaders of each country.
The leaders of North Korea, the independent Russian state of Manchuria, all shook their heads, and
the South Korean president also sighed after watching the broadcast. It was a really good thing I followed his words.
“It’s a monster.”
One of the cabinet members muttered with a tired look on his face. Everyone gathered in the conference room had the same thought.
It wasn’t long ago that I was surprised to learn that the CEO of a precious metals company was an EV executive.
Afterwards, I heard that he was the real leader of EV, and
today I got to see his true skills.
Hiding in the president’s bedroom and blocking enemy missiles on a battleship were nothing compared to what we are seeing now.
“The ruler of EV has that kind of power…”
The expressions of the ministers in the conference room darkened.
Ordinary people watching the broadcast could have been just as happy, but they couldn’t.
With that level of power and strength, he was more than the emperor of an absolute monarchy. . It was no different from the hero who ruled the ancient kingdom in mythology.
“Is it EV instead of America?…”
It was a global crisis, but in the midst of it, Korea grew into a first-class country.
However, no one knew that it was thanks to EV that Korea grew so much and survived the global crisis.
And they all now know why EV protected Korea.
These were the ministers who had to continue to cooperate with EV. I couldn’t help but be at a loss as to how to work with such a superhuman.
The president clicked his tongue when he saw the cabinet members.
It was no different from before anyway.
Unlike them, the president had long ago given up judging his opponents.
The current president’s concerns were different from those of his cabinet members.
“So you’re saying you won’t hide it anymore, right?”
The new head of the National Intelligence Service nodded.
“yes. “With EV’s capabilities, it would have been able to block the broadcast, but it did not block it.”
EV’s hacking abilities were well-known. Who on earth is doing that? The president’s sigh deepened.
“How will people take it?”
“Now you will be accepted as a hero.”
It would change later, after the fight with the monster was over or after the world became stable, but for now, it was clear that everyone would admire and praise him.
“Then we should show the same side. Please announce the full congratulations.”
“All right.”
The President stroked his tired face.
I had to wait until people’s reactions changed later. There was no need to pick the goose that was laying the golden eggs.
Suddenly, the image of the helmet man he saw in the bedroom came to mind, but the president shook his head.
This decision was not made out of fear. It was the decision of a cold-hearted head of state.

This incident caused an uproar throughout the world, but the basement here was not that noisy.
dump.
The doppelganger collapsed and Gyu-kyung hurriedly checked on Yeong-cheol.
Although my eyes were open, my breathing was getting weaker.
The wound was so severe. Internal organs were visible inside the wound on the stomach, and blood was flowing from the neck and all over the body.
Gyu-yu took out the potion he had stored away and poured it into Yeong-cheol’s mouth.
It was a very expensive healing potion that I carried around for emergencies, but it was worth giving it to Yeongcheol.
gulp.
A lot of it leaked, but some of it still went down my throat.
The blood flowing out gradually decreased.
As expected, it was JK POTION’s highest quality potion. It was definitely expensive.
[Fortunately, the. I don’t think it will be life-threatening.]
Eve’s voice was heard. Before they knew it, Kyung-hoon and Isabel were in front of them.
Hearing her words, Jeongyu and Isabelle breathed a sigh of relief.
But Kyung-hoon was looking at Yeong-cheol with a stern expression.
Youngcheol’s face was full of red veins as he looked blankly at Kyunghoon.
Yeongcheol’s skin was still red and his entire body was twitching slightly.
“Did you run away?”
Isabelle’s eyes widened at Kyunghoon’s words.
She also had a trait that went out of control some time ago.
Thanks to that, we succeeded in creating a portal, but it was a truly dangerous moment.
Gyu-kyung opened his mouth instead of Yeong-cheol.
“I don’t know if it was a runaway, but it suddenly became stronger at a dangerous moment.”
It was not easy for Yeongcheol to defend himself from the attacks of the awakened people.
Additionally, while the awakened ones were attacking Yeongcheol, the doppelganger attacked Gyu-jeong.
At that time, Yeongcheol suddenly became stronger, defeated the awakeners and blocked the doppelganger.
Until now, Gyu-Gyu knew that Yeong-Cheol’s grade had improved. But that didn’t seem to be the case.
“But ramping up your traits doesn’t mean you’ll become good at fighting… Is it a combat trait?”
Isabel tilted her head.
“You said earlier that the trait is to recognize non-human beings…”
Gyu-gyu had never seen Yeong-cheol use the trait except when he was recognizing the doppelganger at the factory.
At that time, Eve’s surprised voice was heard.
[ If it’s a runaway… Oh, master, you can see the mana, right?]
The runaway use of the characteristics of humans without mana stones produced different results than that of monsters. If
you’re lucky, the characteristics may be strengthened like Isabel’s, and other times, like mana depletion, the characteristics may be maintained for a while. Sometimes it became unusable.
And in cases where mana was lost, there were also cases where characteristics were lost.
In Yeongcheol’s case, he was not so lucky.
Kyunghoon could see.
Mana was flowing out of Yeongcheol’s body.
He was moving the mana on his own. No.
All the mana in Youngcheol’s body was abandoning his body and leaving.
Youngcheol, who was staring blankly at Kyunghoon, then opened his mouth.
“Oh, that’s how it happened. Why it was difficult to move my body… I finally realized it.”
Yeongcheol’s stuttering voice was very quiet.
The bleeding had stopped and the wound was healing quickly, but Yeongcheol’s voice did not improve at all. Yeongcheol
looked at Kyunghoon and asked,
“Is your Ma Mana disappearing?”
Kyung-hoon nodded at Yeong-cheol’s words.
“What do you mean? Mana is disappearing. Do you mean the level is dropping?”
A thought suddenly occurred to him, and Gyu-kyung asked, but someone else gave the answer.
[It means losing your characteristics and mana. It means you become an ordinary person.]
“Well, then it’s a big deal.”
Gyu-Gyu was surprised. The
fact that the awakened person was losing his power was something that Gyu-Gyu, who had seen Yeong-Cheol from the side, was worried about.
“There must be some way. I will take responsibility for finding it. You are the hero who saved Russia.”
Yeongcheol smiled faintly at Gyujeong’s words. Still, it seemed like he had met a good person in this world.
Yeongcheol opened his mouth.
“Do you remember what I said before I told you about your characteristics? That you came from a destroyed world.”
“Why that joke all of a sudden?”
Youngcheol looked at Kyunghoon again.
“I said I came from another world. That wasn’t a joke. That’s my characteristic.”
Kyung-hoon’s expression hardened at Yeong-cheol’s words.
“What does that mean?”
Youngcheol shook his head in response to Kyunghoon’s question.
He wanted to talk a lot, but his mana was disappearing.
There wasn’t much time.
Instead of answering, Yeongcheol told Kyunghoon the name of his previous life.
“My name is Hyukjun.”
“Your name is Yeongcheol. Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”
He looked at Jeong-Gyu and said,
“Thank you. I’m sorry, but I’m asking you to take care of Yeong-Cheol after I’m gone. I just used it up, so I’d like you to leave something behind.”
Gyu-Gyu had no idea what Yeong-Cheol meant.
But Kyung-hoon seemed to notice something.
“Could it be possession?”
The sight of mana draining from my head and his words made me guess one thing.
Yeongcheol, or rather Hyukjun, nodded at Kyunghoon’s words.
“You can know this by looking at the mana.”
Kyung-hoon’s expression became serious at the other person’s words.
monster? Survivor? But that mana was not connected to anything.
“To experience something like this after death… I wonder if this might be my last dream. But it is a very happy dream.”
Speech sounds are now barely audible.
There was almost no mana left in his body now.
“It was nice to meet you. I’ve been looking forward to meeting you for a long time…”
I couldn’t hear his words anymore.
Only his mouth moved quietly.
[My hero. Dimension shifter.]
All mana has disappeared.
The spirit that stayed in Yeongcheol also left.
Yeongcheol’s expression changed.
Instead of a cold and tired expression, his face showed the expression of a slightly immature and ordinary person.
He looked at the people with a puzzled face.
“Where am I?”
Youngcheol frowned.
“It hurts! What is this?”
He looked around at the people who were staring at him in fascination and clutched his wound.
Yeongcheol has now lost his mana and has become an ordinary person.
