Episode 5 [Sign (2)]
The building with the smell of blood emanating from it looked like a demolished factory.
The ceiling was half torn off and the windows were nowhere to be seen.
It was an ordinary abandoned building, but Kyung-hoon remembered the ruins of a city he had seen not long ago.
I guess I needed more weapons.
Fortunately, he found ‘Paru’ rolling around before entering the building. There was nothing better than this for durability.
Holding his handrail, he walked as quietly as possible.
The closer we got to the building, the louder the sound became.
Kyung-hoon looked inside the building through the half-collapsed door.
Unlike outside, it was dark inside, but everything was visible to his eyes.
However, it was not possible to see the entire inside of the factory from outside the door. Abandoned equipment was blocking the view.
The whistling sound came from beyond the rolling equipment.
Kyunghoon carefully entered the building. Perhaps because it was a factory, the inside of the building was empty and without pillars.
He carefully moved towards the place where the sound came from, avoiding the discarded items.
The sound was coming from behind a pile of pallets.
Kyunghoon covered his nose with the back of his hand. The smell of blood became stronger.
Kyung-hoon arrived at the place where the pallets were stacked and carefully looked inside.
For a moment, I turned white.
The back of the pallet was full of half-eaten dog carcasses. The carcasses of dead dogs, including Sapsarees and Dobermans, were piled up in piles. The walls and floor were covered in blood, but I couldn’t even see it.
In the center of the pile of dog carcasses, there was still a moving animal. A beast with shiny black fur was burying its head into the corpse.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
A large black beast was devouring the carcass. The sound I could hear so far was the sound of the beast devouring the corpse.
‘Damn it, was that dog barking sound I heard earlier a scream before it died?’
Kyung-hoon stepped back with a tired look on his face. I never expected to see a scene like this.
Adventures are good and it’s good to satisfy curiosity, but I didn’t want to see a scene like this.
I carefully took a step or two back. Fortunately, the beast didn’t seem to notice that he was backing away.
After gaining some distance, Kyung-hoon turned his head behind him to check the exit.
The exit was blocked.
“Damn, what happened?”
Cats were gathered behind the broken door he came in through. Dozens of cats stood silently in front of the door and watched him. The noise that had been heard suddenly stopped. The animal that was putting its head
on
the corpse looked up.
‘Black panther?’
A large black beast glared at him.
“No, it’s more like a cat.”
I was mistaken because it was large, but it turned out to be a black cat.
‘Last time, I grabbed it… No, wait a minute, this is reality. Does this make sense?’
Kyung-hoon was confused about where he was now.
Crumble.
It was as if he was laughing…
And then, the cats that heard the cries started coming towards him. The movements were seamless. It was like a unit following the instructions of the Black Cat.
“Hey, can’t we just go back? ‘I came in without knowing. Can’t you just take a look?’
I tried talking to the cats, but they didn’t care.
“Damn it.”
It was clear that I had fallen into a trap, but I had no intention of just falling for it.
Kyung-hoon took out the dagger he had hidden in his waistband. It was a military dagger with a beautiful pattern engraved on it.
‘It feels like the level of difficulty has increased.’
Last time I was holding a pistol, but now all I had was this dagger and a parru.
However, it was not possible to carry a long sword or a pistol in the normal Korean land.
‘I’m going to have to eat it.’
Kyung-Hoon glanced at the pattern engraved on the dagger. It was clear that if it was the same as the pistol, it would be effective.
‘Otherwise it won’t look good.’
The black cat standing behind me, purring, was no ordinary cat. It was something strangely changed, like the monster rat I saw in the other world.
‘Just like me.’
Kyung-hoon strengthened the hand holding the palu. The muscles bulged.
Was it because I felt I had become stronger? Kyunghoon could feel his breathing slowing down.
“Come!’’
Were Kyung-hoon’s words a signal? The cats flew towards him.
It wasn’t just one or two. As dozens of cats ran at once, the area seemed to be filled with cats.
Excited.
Excited.
My heart was beating slowly. Sweat was about to drip from my hair. The cats, who were running away, approached very slowly.
Mouth wide open. Dozens of claws that looked like teeth that were sharply exposed dazzled my eyes.
The whole world slowed down.
No, it wasn’t that the world had slowed down, he had entered an accelerated world.
A world where you can see the stitches on the ball thrown by the pitcher. A world where you see the blood on the fist you swung at yourself.
In the world he saw for the first time, he swung his handkerchief.
Buuuuuung.
The arm he was swinging also felt very slow. But in a stationary world, only my arms and pals seemed to be moving.
The moment Paru collided with the flying cats, the world returned to its original state.
Buuuuung!
Puff puff puff!
Kyaaaaaaa!
The screams of the cats echoed through the factory, and the cats that had been hit by the flies flew into the sky.
The dumb cats were ordinary guys. His body was bent by the stick he swung and bounced in all directions.
The cats attacked simultaneously from the air, from the floor, from behind, and from the sides, but Kyung-Hoon didn’t miss a single one.
His appearance swinging from side to side seemed to be an afterimage.
The cats were sorted out in an instant. The cats scattered in all directions did nothing but twitch and let out moaning screams.
Gyaarung, keek.
The quiet factory was filled with the screams of injured cats.
Crumble.
The black cat that was watching stood up. The guy seemed very surprised.
Kyung-hoon was equally surprised.
I knew my body had become stronger, but I didn’t expect this kind of power to emerge.
Not only did the body become stronger. My senses had also changed.
‘I guess it wasn’t a coincidence that I shot well at that time.’
Kyung-hoon’s confidence grew. In my current state, I felt like I could handle an alien with just one palu.
Gyeonghoon raised his palu towards the large black cat glaring at him.
Wow!
The black cat screamed and rushed towards me.
“Damn it, why do all these monsters have voices like this? If they’re cats, they’re supposed to cry like cats!”
Gyeonghoon swung his parru at the charging black cat.
Although it ran at incredible speed, Gyeonghoon did not miss the black cat. Paru struck the black cat’s head.
Kang!
The iron bar and the animal’s head collided, and the sound of iron clashing against iron erupted.
The black cat bounced to the side, and Kyung-hoon frowned as he held on to the ringing palu.
It felt like hitting a thick iron plate. Moreover, it didn’t even hit my head. The moment he hit his head, a translucent film blocked his head.
The arm was bent, and the arm continued to tremble. If he hadn’t gotten stronger, he might have gotten hurt.
purr.
The black cat that had jumped out of the way rose up looking fine.
“How on earth is this going?”
Non-reality invaded reality. The same things that happened in the destroyed city were happening here in the world.
But, it was not the time to worry about such things. Gyeong-hoon bit his lip to come to his senses.
Whoops!
The black cat rushed in.
Gyeong-hoon I once again swung the palu with all my might. This time, the
palu
stopped in the middle. The black cat had bitten the palu. The black cat did not stop there.
Boom!
“Fuck!”
The black cat hit Kyung-hoon in that state and crushed him.
Crrrrr.
The black cat’s saliva fell on Gyeong-hoon’s face. The black cat’s open mouth filled his vision.
“Ugh!”
Kyung-hoon desperately pushed up the paw.
If the paw had not been bitten, his head would have been in that mouth instead of the paw. It was clear that it must have been contained.
To my horror, Palu was pushed lower and lower. I thought it had become stronger than a human, but it was less powerful than a cat that had turned into a large cat. Palu gradually bent and came out of the black cat’s mouth little by little. Meanwhile
, Gyeong-hoon desperately swung his other hand.
Knock, knock, knock.
The hand that wasn’t holding the hand struck the black cat’s body. It hit its leg, tapped its side, and swung towards its neck. Gag. The moment
Kyung
-hoon’s hand hit its neck. ，A moan escaped from the black cat’s mouth.
Gyeong-hoon felt an unknown energy escaping through his hand and pushed up the dagger in his hand with all his strength.
Phew!
The sound of muscles cracking was heard, and blood poured out from the black cat’s neck. .
Kaang!
The black cat screamed and tried to pull back.
“Uh. Dil. Go. Damn. Go!”
Gyeong-hoon grabbed the back of the black cat’s head with the
same hand that was holding the palu. The situation was reversed a bit. The struggle between the black cat desperately trying to get away and Gyeong-hoon trying not to let go continued. The claws of the struggling
black cat tore Gyeong-hoon’s clothes. It fell, and dust rose up.
After a while, the black cat, which had been struggling, fell down on top of Kyung-hoon’s body. It finally stopped breathing.
“Damn, it’s so heavy!”
Kyung-hoon pushed the black cat to the side and put it back on its feet.
Boom.
“Huh, huh, huh.”
Kyung-hoon lay down and gasped. He raised the blood-soaked dagger before his eyes. A blue pattern appeared vaguely on the blood-soaked blade.
Fortunately, the dagger worked. I don’t know how this symbol makes this happen, but objects with the symbol on it were able to pierce the monster’s defense shield.
Gyeonghoon, who was out of breath, stood up. Fortunately, my body recovered quickly.
Kyung-hoon looked at his body and sighed.
The clothes I wore became tattered. The skin was also full of scratches here and there. Fortunately, there were no major injuries, but no matter how you look at it, it looked like a big fight had taken place.
Compared to the monster cat’s rampage, there seemed to be surprisingly few serious injuries. It looked like he had taken out his claws and swung them wildly, but the scratches were this bad.
“I guess it’s a blessing in disguise.”
He shook his head and looked around with a perplexed expression.
On one side, there was a mountain of devoured dog carcasses. Injured cats were sneezing everywhere, and next to it was a huge cat carcass the size of a leopard lying down
. There’s no way to escape, right?”
He looked at his tattered clothes and took out his cell phone from the front pocket of his pants. It was his original cell phone, not brought from another world.
I had to call someone. Normally, I would have just called the police, but now I needed help.
Kyung-hoon dialed the number and made a call.
-Oh, sergeant, no, brother. It’s been a really long time. Why haven’t you contacted me all this time!
Fortunately, the other person answered the phone quickly. A joyful voice was heard.
“I walked because I needed help. I thought you would know best about this.”
-What’s going on?
The other person knew Kyung-hoon’s personality well. Immediately the voice became serious and Kyung-hoon began to explain the situation here.
Srurr.
A cloudy fog-like energy rose behind Kyung-hoon as he spoke on the phone. It was the energy flowing from a dead monster cat.
That energy, later called mana, seeped into Kyung-Hoon’s body, and the rest spread far into the world.
