Episode 63. [ Wave (4) ]
Gwajijik.
Seeing the person running, the monster wrapped around the building moved its body.
As he wriggled his long body, the outer wall of the hospital collapsed.
Kyung-hoon looked at that and made a tired expression.
“It’s the monster from the movie. What kind of snake is that?”
It was 100 meters long and its body seemed to be over 3 meters thick.
It wasn’t wrapping around the building, but just wrapping around the entire first floor was extremely threatening.
-It is called Jorganmund. It is a giant snake-type mutant that grows by eating its own kind. The ranks ranged from knight level to monarch level.
It’s been a while since Eve told me about the contents of the encyclopedia.
“That’s a grand name. Does that mean it’s bigger than that?”
Jorganmund was a giant snake from Greek mythology. The name comes from the giant snake that coiled around the world of humans. I felt somewhat dispirited.
-It is a name that arose from the appearance of a monarch-level monster. That monster single-handedly destroyed a not-so-small city.
“It’s worth giving it that name.”
Kyunghoon understood right away.
“So you’re saying you shouldn’t keep him alive? Do you have any weaknesses?”
-Cannibalism is a trait. And it is said that speed is slower on land than in water.
This means that there is no special skill. The point was that they should not be allowed to go to the water.
“Ultimately, we have to fight dogs.”
While grumbling, Kyung-hoon launched himself towards the snake wrapped around the building.
The body of a snake approached before his eyes. Gyeonghoon swung his sword.
Kakakak.
As sparks flew, the snake’s scales cracked.
“Did you just cut the skin?”
Red blood came out from the cut wound.
-I think I need to use mana.
“I know.”
There was no way a monster of this size was ordinary.
Kyunghoon took a deep breath and moved his mana. The mana circulation method, which was said to have been inspired by a martial arts novel, appeared again through Gyeong-hoon’s body.
He turned his body sharply and the strengthened mana passed through Kyung-Hoon’s arm and rushed into the sword.
The pattern seemed brighter than before.
It was a much more difficult technique than collecting mana in one part of the body. Although he practiced hard, it was still too much for him to write while moving.
Kyung-hoon raised his sword upward without losing concentration. I was planning on cutting it all at once.
– You must avoid it!
At that time, Eve’s warning was heard in Gyeonghoon’s ears.
“shit.”
Kyung-hoon didn’t even ask why. He released the mana he had gathered and flew to the side.
bang!
A huge head crashed down where he was. Then the body wrapped around the wall moved quickly.
“Could it be that you were trying to ambush someone that big?”
Kyung-hoon made a bewildered expression as he ran along the wall.
– It could have been successful.
At Eve’s words, Kyung-hoon couldn’t help but whet his appetite.
As he ran along the wall, he continued to wound the snake’s body. But it was only a wound of fabric.
Moreover, the snake also moved to chase him, making it even more difficult to attack.
“Do you think you caught aggro?”
But I succeeded in making him chase me.
Kyunghoon quickly fell off the building and looked back.
Churi riri.
– Attraction failed. I won’t chase you.
The snake head came forward and glared at him. But the huge body was still wrapped around the building.
Kyunghoon looked down at his hands. The mana bomb was held calmly in my hand. If there wasn’t a hospital, it could have been used right away. One weapon has been sealed.
A huge snake opened its mouth towards Kyung-hoon.
Churi riri.
A red forked tongue stirred the air.
“Hmm, I won’t attack you. This is it.”
Kyung-hoon looked at the open mouth and smiled meaningfully.
He placed his thumb on the mana bomb. The mana bomb began to warm up.
He threw the mana bomb towards the snake’s open mouth.
“Eat this!”
The stick was shot towards the snake’s mouth. The shell flew straight into the open mouth.
“done.”
The moment Kyung-hoon clenches his fists. The snake’s head moved.
“what?”
The bomb flew past my head and back. There was a hospital there.
bang!
One side of the hospital wall collapsed due to a huge explosion.
It was a wall that held up even when the giant snake tightened on it, but it seemed that it could not withstand the mana bomb.
One wall on the 12th floor was blown away.
“You’ll be okay, right?”
Kyung-hoon opened his mouth with a white face.
-The body is not visible. I think the people inside the building will be safe.
It was a strangely scolding tone.
“Aren’t you supposed to accept something like that? Why are you avoiding it?”
“……”
I tried to shift the blame to the snake, but it only brought about Eve’s silence.
“There’s really no way to do this. Is it possible to catch it by just cutting the skin?”
Kyung-hoon looked at the huge snake with an embarrassed face.
Karrrrr.
But his expression soon changed to a puzzled expression.
A giant snake released its body from its surroundings at the hospital. The snake screamed and launched itself at Kyung-hoon.
“Why is it like that again?”
– In any case, the incentive is a success. I think we need to move quickly.
It was just as Eve said. When I unwrapped my body from the hospital, the snake’s movements were completely different from before.
“I should never go towards the water.”
Kyung-hoon threw himself away with a horrified expression. The giant snake Jormungand also followed Kyung-hoon away from the hospital.
Marcelo opened his mouth as he watched the monster and people moving away.
I saw it in a movie. No, an even bigger fight unfolded before my eyes.
The humans were so fast that they often missed them, but the way the snake attacked gave us a good idea of the nature of the fight.
“Was the Awakened a being like that?”
While working at BOPE, I have seen many awakened people. Moreover, yesterday and today, I even fought with the awakened ones.
But no one has ever seen such a move.
I was impressed when I saw Sonya swinging a spear a while ago, but watching her fight now, it was hard to guess the gap.
Marcelo shook his head. Anyway, the world has become difficult to understand some time ago.
“Well, what does it mean to someone looking for a place to die?”
Marcelo chuckled and lit a cigarette.
I quit smoking a long time ago, but now it doesn’t really matter if I smoke.
There was no way his long-dead wife would say anything again, and there were no team members left to stop him on her behalf.
No, there is one junior guy left, but I wonder if he will survive until we return….
“He is the only team leader who killed all his team members, saved the remaining team members, and died alone….” He
could have saved many people and brought them to the hotel, but instead, he himself. lost a team member.
Looking at the Team 2 members remaining in the hotel, he could only envy the Team 2 leader who died first.
A while later, as he was looking at the hospital where the snake had disappeared, he threw away the cigarette he was holding.
“I wonder if this was the place to die.”
A person was seen running through the broken window.
Fortunately, there was someone alive in the hospital. And when I said I was running away, I meant that there was a monster chasing me.
Marcelo hung a grenade on a hook and took his pistol and shotgun.
If he was lucky, he would survive, but he was too tired to hope for luck.
He ran toward the hospital, holding a shotgun in both hands.
Perhaps thanks to the presence of the giant snake, there were no traces of other monsters around the hospital.
He was soon able to enter the hospital through the collapsed wall.
The hospital was full of blood stains.
“These are marks of being dragged…”
There were marks splattered on the walls, but there were also several traces of blood from being dragged on the hospital floor.
Marcelo carefully searched the first floor of the hospital, but found neither a dead body nor a living person.
“Ahh!”
At that time, a scream was heard from above. The sound came from the 3rd or 4th floor.
He gave up the rest of his search and went straight up the central staircase.
Blood stains were also visible on the stairs. It was a blood trail that had been dragged upwards.
I decided to follow the blood trail. It was clear that at least something could be found.
After the 2nd floor, the 3rd floor and the 4th floor.
The blood trail continued into the fourth floor hallway.
Marcelo grabbed the gun and moved forward cautiously.
Then he saw the nest in the hall on the fourth floor.
It was a nest made with hospital equipment instead of grass. A huge nest made of beds, sofas, electrocardiogram monitors, curtains, etc.
There were broken eggs lying inside the nest, and bones were piled next to them. It was a human bone.
There were snakes coiled up on one side of the nest. They were snakes of similar size to the anacondas seen on TV or at the zoo, ranging from 3m to 5m.
‘Are you saying they are just-born babies?’
Looking at the broken egg, it seemed like not even a day had passed.
He could figure out why a giant snake was guarding the hospital.
This hospital was the snake’s new home, and the giant snake was guarding the hospital to protect its young.
Fortunately, he hasn’t been caught yet. The snakes couldn’t see him because they were eating.
What the snakes are now eating was the man who ran away a little while ago. The torn top seemed to be frozen between the coiled snakes.
‘Could it be that the people in the hospital were food for snake bastards?’
He came to his senses and looked across the hall. There were blood stains on the floor and open hospital rooms with blood stains leading to them.
I didn’t know there might be more living people in that hospital room.
He picked up a shotgun.
The gun didn’t work on more monsters, but he couldn’t go back after coming here.
He grabbed the gun and ran towards the snakes.
bang! bang! bang!
Blood splattered from the bodies of the snakes gathered together, and the snakes began to wriggle.
How much time has passed? No, it was just a moment.
Marcelo, lying on the floor, looked helpless.
I had no strength in my limbs. I could feel blood flowing from my side.
Above my head, white snakes were flicking their tongues.
Unfortunately, it was too much for him.
Although it was a shotgun that killed bears, it only wounded these monster snakes.
I fired all the bullets in my shotgun, but I didn’t kill a single one.
Also, how fast is it? I tried to lure it like the man I saw earlier, but I was caught before I could take a few steps and dragged into the nest.
In the meantime, his limbs were broken and his side was torn off.
He survived the hardships of life thanks to the snakes fighting to eat him, but it only bought him a brief moment of time.
The good news was that there was someone alive.
As he was shooting at the monsters, there were people in the hospital room peering out.
I saw a doctor and a nurse, but unfortunately I couldn’t see the saint.
He was calm.
If I had backed away instead of attacking, I might have survived, but I did not regret running into the monsters.
“Hurry up and finish it.”
All I could think about was smoking a cigarette.
bang! bang!
An explosion was heard from afar. Even though he had failed, the hero seemed to be doing well.
It seemed like the snakes had sorted themselves out.
A snake came up and buried its head in his chest. It looked like he was going to be eaten alive.
Hearing the crunching noise, he started to get a little angry.
I felt sorry for my teammates and I felt sorry for the people I couldn’t save.
But that was what these guys did.
However, being used like this without being able to do anything made me more angry than tired.
Thump.
He raised his hand and grabbed the head of the snake devouring his chest.
Kwasik.
He grabbed the snake’s head, dripping flesh, with both hands and pulled out its jaw.
I stood up. My bones came together and the wounds on my chest and back began to heal.
He didn’t understand, but the trait was starting to come into play.
At the last moment, Marcelo awakened.
