Chapter 406: All-out Assault (2)

An all-out assault of angels.

“Aaahhh! What the hell is going on?”

“Aaaah! There are monsters, monsters in the sky!!!”

It was a catastrophe of epic proportions that was not in the original.

The angels that had been coming a little at a time had suddenly attacked all at once.

The angels appeared in almost every city in the world, wherever people lived.

They’ve invaded this world in such droves that they fill the sky.

Naturally, where I am is no exception.

“Da-in! Da-in, we’re in trouble!”

~The city center of Seoul~

Down there, I was looking up at angels, so many of them that they covered the sky.

‘Oh, shit.’

“Ewww, ewww, everyone hide!!!”

“What the hell is going on!!!”

People start freaking out and running away.

In the midst of it all, I turn my head frantically to analyze the situation.

…The angels have suddenly launched an all-out attack on this scale, unlike the original. Why? Is this why there have been so few attacks so far?

No. But if they’re attacking the entire world on this scale now… it doesn’t make sense. It’s not like we’re talking about a few days of fewer attacks. The Sun God doesn’t have this much power.

Then, what the hell?

That’s what I thought.

Suddenly, my rumblings were cut short by my insides.

“Ugh…”

The sudden throbbing pain in my heart made me grab my chest and stagger slightly.

Meanwhile, Seo-eun and Soobin, surprised, shook my arm and said.

“Da-in, what are you doing, run away quickly!”

“Da-in, let’s go…!”

The situation was not good.

No, it was more like a life and death crisis.

Right now, with no one else around us, it was just me, Soobin, and Seo-Eun who were all alone under the attack of the angels.

Of course, we weren’t in any real danger yet.

“Ugh…Okay, okay, everyone, my hand.”

I had the best skill for getting away in an emergency like this, teleportation.

I ducked my sticky head and grabbed both of their hands.

…This was before the angelic army arrived on earth, but it didn’t matter. I could just teleport to the underground shelter and be done with it.

I would have summoned Halo as soon as I felt like it, but since they’re the same angel, their attacks wouldn’t work and they wouldn’t be much help.

‘…I guess I’ll just have to teleport straight to the Association, even if it’s a bit of a stretch.’

With that thought in mind, I teleported away.

At that moment.

-Wooksin.

I felt a tearing pain inside my body.

At the same time as the pain took my breath away, I knew something was wrong.

With that strange sensation, our bodies shifted.

“Kkkkk…”

-Thud.

Kudang, kudang, kudang, kudang, kudang.

“Kaaaaaah!”

“Da, Da-in, are you okay?”

I don’t know how far I’ve traveled, but I’ve never made it to the underground shelter I’ve been aiming for, and I’m sprawled out on the street somewhere.

I was dizzy.

I rolled once on the ground, then staggered to my feet…Maybe I fell first to protect them, I thought, feeling the blood rushing from my head. I waved my hand to Seo-Eun and Soobin, who were running toward me with a mixture of concern and confusion.

…No. I was going to.

“Ugh. I’m… okay. Cool.”

Before I knew it, I was coughing up a mouthful of blood that was both gory and sticky on my hands.

“Kuluk, kuluk.”

At the same time, my vision became dizzy for a moment.

“Oh, Da-in, are you okay? Oh, no…! Wake up!”

“Da…Da-in? What the hell is this…? No, hurry up and get him treated…”

“Ah…”

I clutched at my rumbling stomach.

I unknowingly collapsed back to my knees on the floor.

“”Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!””

I heard the angelic shrieks from above, feeling the blood trickling from the corner of my mouth, and grasped at my blurring vision.

What the hell is going on?

…How did this happen?

Oh, yes. Should I have expected something like this, since the angels never came?

No. Still, I was certainly prepared. But there’s something about an invasion coming at a time when I’m alone, with no one to help me.

…Maybe they knew all along, and took advantage of my weakness.

No, this must be a delusion.

“Kuluk.”

I muttered to myself, barely keeping my fading consciousness alive.

Anyway, I was wrong now. The angels are getting closer and closer, and somehow my body has suddenly become more unstable instead of stronger.

Fuck. God of the stars Are you giving me shit until the end?

I muttered a little to myself, and then managed to regain my composure.

“…Seo-eun, Kuluk, Seo-eun, Soobin. First… Run away first.”

“Da-in, what the hell are you talking about?”

“…Da-in, don’t talk nonsense, run away quickly!”

With those words, Seo-eun and Soobin grabbed me by the shoulders.

Everyone else had already fled the street, and we were the only ones who had crash landed due to a teleportation error.

‘No, we don’t have time for this…’

The angels are now flying directly above us, and shadows are falling all around us.

At this rate, we’re all going to get killed.

…I can’t help it.

Finally, I summoned all my strength and tried one more time…

“””ARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!””””

And just like that, with angelic voices echoing directly above me. I made a last-ditch attempt at teleportation.

And…The result was failure.

-Kudang, kudang, kudang.

…I didn’t even make it to the association, and I fell to the ground 50 meters away from Seo-eun and Soobin.

From a distance, Seo-eun and Soobin were looking at me in despair.

“Ah…”

“””arrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!””””

Right above us, angels attacked with spears made of gold.

Like so much grime, they streaked the sky, leaving no empty space. They descend, filled with nothing but murderous intent to kill us.

I stared, dumbfounded, feeling as if time had slowed down.

How did this happen?

Before my eyes Soobin was looking up and pulling a gun out of her arm with a stern face.

Seo-Eun summoned a small robot with her smartphone, and it looked like a dream.

…Me, too, the tentacle suit in my arms. I might be able to resist for a while with Behemoth, but…I wonder how long I can last with that.

There are dozens, hundreds, thousands of angels in front of me right now.

I wonder if I’ll lose them all.

Seo-eun, Soo-bin, everyone…I’m going to lose them here? Just like this?

That’s right. Wasn’t it always a ruined world?

‘……’

I gritted my teeth.

Even in this situation, my stupid abilities won’t help me to the end.

Just like this, just like this… Let them all go.

Half-collapsed like that and feeling the angels above me trying to swing something at me, I silently closed my eyes.

Just like this, end it.

To do nothing here, to lose everyone I’ve ever cared about.

-pounding.

When I fell from this world and realized the two abilities I had, I was very worried. With these weak abilities, I wouldn’t be able to survive the rapidly changing power inflation….No, with these powers, I wouldn’t be able to protect this world.

So, realizing that I could not protect this world with my powers, I gathered others. To harness the power of those stronger than me, to protect everyone.

And the plan was quite successful. I made it through three phases without too much sacrifice.

However, my power hasn’t grown to this day.

-Pounding.

‘…Fuck it.’

I’m supposed to have the power of the stars.

At the very least, I should be able to protect the people by my side.

I can give my life for them.

Please.

Give me the power, too.

-Pounding.

-Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump.

“”arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”””

With that thought I opened my eyes and there before my eyes was.

-……

As if someone had pressed the slow button, I saw time passing slowly.

I saw Seo-eun and Soobin, who seemed to be slowly being buried by the waves of angels descending from above and felt a chilling sensation on the nape of my neck.

Feeling all of that, I stood still and reached out to them and then with the sensation of life burning within me, in the slowed time, from my outstretched hand, a black light emanated

Black strands, like threads, stretching out in countless numbers.

In the slowed time, the threads stretched quickly toward all the angels around me.

Pick. Pick. Pick. Pick.

One by one, the black tentacle-like threads of light pierced the hearts of the angels.

Like a black tree, painted in watercolor, growing out of a hand, one by one, they spread out into countless branches, piercing the hearts of the angels.

So thin and black, so unbelievably light, so twisted and stretched out…

It’s as if black blood is coursing through their bodies, burning out their last spark.

Just like that, the sky was covered with black trees.

Like a spider’s web, all the angels were pierced.

Just like that time flows again and the angels that filled the sky fell like falling leaves.

“””Krarrrrrrrrrr!”””

In the midst of countless angels falling like rain, I stood dazed on the ground, still bleeding from the head, and with stalks of black light extending from my hands.

“Ugh…”

I spat black blood frantically from my mouth, and then collapsed.
