Ki-oh-oh! The cry of the Gamecock had shaken Bucheon. The cry shook even the listeners’ innermost organs. Their limbs were stiff, and their nausea was rising.

“Wonderful.” It was clear evidence if someone could stand calmly in front of the cry, without any change in complexion, he or she would be an Awakener with Energy rank above B. Even if someone had an Energy rank above B, it would only be possible to relax in front of this fear only from a long distance away.

“Amazing.” Major Oh Se-bum was the only one in Bucheon City that could afford to relax at that distance. At least that was what he thought. He thought that he could afford to see the violence of the Gamecock, which had made Bucheon City a hell.

He had a horn-shaped glass in his hand. It was an object with a dragon engraved on its outer shape after chipping the jade into a horn shape. It was a thing that could only be seen in a museum. But now it was wasted even being in a museum.

“Very good.” Major Oh, who held the object in his hand, began to smile brightly.

‘Mr. Mao gave us the right thing. I’m sure most of the Chinese relics are there, and from the point of their view, this is nothing. Even more, considering their situation…’

One of the two men, who were shaking around Major Oh, said cautiously in a trembling voice, “Is that really okay?”

“What?”

“Even if we do this—”

“What’s wrong with this? There is no proof. Even if there’s evidence, there is no problem. They can’t threaten the Capital Defense Command after they have a problem. I am not sure they’ll get a chance to do so against that monster.”

The subordinate shook his head to Major Oh, who spoke out without hesitation. “Well, it’s not… this monster could come to Seoul, couldn’t it?”

“Oh, that.” Major Oh realized that he had spoken out with a bad guess, and said with a funny smile, “We can kill it then, or we can lure it back to Sejong City. We’ve lured it here, and it’s not a big deal to lure it back to another place.”

Major Oh closed his mouth to prevent his own intentions coming out. ‘It’s not bad to bring this monster to Seoul at this time, and I’ll be in a good position once again. If not, there’s no harm to me because there’s a monster like this in the vicinity of Seoul.’

“So don’t worry.” Major Oh, who was about to point his telescope at the Gamecock with his last words, suddenly looked back with a puzzled expression.

The other two men also turned their heads, shaking without hesitation. But there was nothing where the three turned their heads. “Is there a problem?”

Major Oh shook his head. “No, I must have been mistaken.”

Ki-oh-oh-oh! In a blink of an eye, the Gamecock that made a tank into a mop shook the city of Bucheon. Everything alive stopped breathing at the sound, and all movement stopped.

Only one person, Bang Hyun-wook, was moving alone in a situation where everyone stopped breathing and their movement stopped. He was even walking toward the Gamecock.

‘Oh, shit.’ At this moment, he chewed his curse like gum.

‘I’m crazy.’ There was a word in his mind that said regret.

‘Why…’ He almost died. He was trying to attract it, but he was caught in its golden beak, and he was thrown through the building.

It was like a human being holding a frog and throwing it at a wall. His whole body was crushed. That was about an hour ago. He was saved from death. But now he was walking toward the Gamecock.

‘What am I supposed to do?’ It was something he had to regret. He knew that facts better than anyone else.

‘Damn it.’ At this moment, he was recalling his whole life. His days of living had passed. His days passing by were days of regret. It was a life full of baseball, but he could not become the baseball player he wanted to be. He lacked ability and effort. But on the contrary, it made him walk.

‘Yes, it wasn’t a very nice life anyway.’ There would be no big difference if there was one bigger regret for the days regret had been stamped on. ‘I will just run away. I don’t have to fight, and I can’t fight. To Gwangmyeong City, or Gimpo City… I will just run away.’

Soon afterward, his memory reached a meeting with Kim Tae-hoon after his school days, which was dominated by baseball. Bang recalled the day when he met Kim at a large store on December 31, 2016. ‘Even if I am not a baseball player, I can still leave behind my best results. A school named after me might be built in Bucheon.’

“Ha ha!” The half-year of experience since he met Kim was the most intense and desperate. It was worth it.

“OK.” Only then did Bang, who had resolved himself, step out without hesitation. Soon after, he stood in front of the Gamecock looking for a new target.

On the stretching road, he stood in a place the Gamecock could run to, and he shouted, “I am Barry Bonds Bang Hyun-wook of Bucheon High School! Come on!”

Before the cry was over, it was already running toward Bang. Kwoong-kwoong-kwoong!

He looked at it running as sleekly as an ostrich and turned around. He ran. Only then, he could see groups appearing behind his back. ‘Huh?’

Neigh! He could see animals of golden smoke behind him, with the Horse Figure Type Earthenware in front.

“Aahhhh!” At that moment, his feet twisted, and he fell straight ahead.

Neigh! A clay horse jumped over his fallen head, and the animals of golden smoke followed behind it. He turned his head as he got up in a hurry.

Ki-oh-oh!

He saw that a fierce battle was beginning to emerge.

10.

Ki-oh-oh! The first thing, which the Gamecock ran at with a shriek, was the Horse Figure Type Earthenware. The call of the Gamecock was powerful enough to create cracks in the clay body of the Horse Figure Type Earthenware.

Whinny, whinny! However, the Horse Figure Type Earthenware did not stop. The horse exhaled violently, and the warrior waited for his horse to pass by the Gamecock.

Ppiik! Soon after, the Gamecock drove its golden beak towards the Horse Figure Type Earthenware. At that moment, the warrior avoided the beak attack from above by ducking, quickly raised his back straight again, and wielded his sword at the body of the Gamecock.

The warrior’s sword cut across the side of the Gamecock.

There was a long, cross sound of metal on metal.

The feathers of the Gamecock literally broke apart into pieces like they were made of metal, and the sword of the warrior was cut off and turned into a saw.

Ki-oh-oh! The Gamecock turned toward the Horse Figure Type Earthenware that had passed by, clucking angrily. At the same time, animals of golden smoke began to cling to the body of the Gamecock.

Khung! The lion and the tiger each bit a leg of the Gamecock, and the monkey began to climb onto its body.

Ppoo-woo-woo! An elephant rushed towards it with its ivory tusks, which were sharper than a spear.

Ppi-yi-yik! Two eagles, a long-tailed bird and a long-beaked bird, came down with their claws and beaks.

Golden smoke instantly stuck to the Gamecock’s body and began to break down its black and red feathers.

Hoo-deu-deuk! In an instant, its feather fragments were scattered on the ground.

Ki-oh-oh-oh! It began flapping its wings in place as if embarrassed by this crazy offense.

Hoo-woong! Hoo-woong! At the flap of the great wings, the bodies of the wild animals and the flying animals of golden smoke disappeared like smoke, but in time they reappeared from different positions.

Khung! The tiger and the lion, which had been biting its legs, appeared on top of the Gamecock.

Ppoo-woo-woo! The elephant fell down, materializing just above it.

Ki-ki? Ki-ki! A monkey emerged from a strange place, fell to the ground and started to make a fresh rush toward it.

Meanwhile, the Horse Figure Type Earthenware began to move cunningly.

It stepped on a car that had been broken on the road and leaped to the roof of a three-story building as if he were stepping on the stairs, and then he jumped to the roof of an even higher building. Soon, he climbed onto the roof of a high-rise building quite distant from the Gamecock.

Neigh! At that moment, the clay horse, still carrying its owner, ran along the roof of the building and threw itself out at the Gamecock. It was an amazing leap, but it seemed a little short to reach the body of the Gamecock. That short distance was filled by the warrior with the sword himself. The warrior jumped off his horse again!

The thrown warrior passed through the elephant of golden smoke on top of the Gamecock and plunged his sword deep into its back. At that moment its eyes changed. It no longer cried out. Instead of opening its beak and making a sound, its beak clamped shut. Then its chest began to swell up.

The things swelling within its breast erupted through the flaming crest of the Gamecock.

Foo-hwa-hwa-hwat! The flames of the Gamecock’s crest exploded like a volcano, turning the neighborhood into a sea of fire. Under the fire, the beasts of golden smoke faded, and the warrior of the Horse Figure Type Earthenware attached to the body of the Gamecock was crushed. The clay horse that was waiting for its owner was smashed.

When everything that had tormented it disappeared, it opened its tightly closed golden beak and gathered its voice. The flames began to gather slowly over its bare head.

Ki-oh-oh!

A man on the roof of a building looked at the whole scene with black Eyes.

11.

‘It’s the worst.’ Kim Tae-hoon was now frowning.

There were many things that made him frown like that. No, everything in Bucheon right now made him frown: the appearance of Bang Hyun-wook, who was ready to die and threw himself out as bait, and the appearance of the Gamecock which had shown its amazing splendor. And the presence of Major Oh Se-bum, who was watching the scene.

‘It’s the worst.’ At this moment, however, Kim did not adapt to his feelings by exploding as the Gamecock had. Rather, he flatly ignored what his feelings demanded, and rejected them.

He did not go to rescue Bang, nor did he stop the battle right away. He didn’t even go to see Major Oh and get his payment. He knew that it was not the answer. Emotional results were not much different from drunken ones.

‘It’s the worst, so be calm.’ Furthermore, at this moment, he knew that he was the last card.

If it fails, it’s all over. Under such circumstances, he should not just let the last card be wasted on emotion. Stay calm.

‘I found a heart sound once.’ He calmly began looking for ways to kill the Gamecock at this moment. He was able to gauge the position of its heart.

‘I can measure its defense.’ The problem was its defensive strength.

It was only wounded by the attack of the Horse Figure Type Earthenware and the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje. In other words, it was only hurt.

To be honest, the attack was powerful enough to smash the whole body of the Twin-head Ogre. In particular, the attack of the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje was terrifying. They were almost invincible to physical things.

To such a monster, the depth of the injury Kim could make with all his Telekinesis would not be that great. Even if it were deeply embedded, it would not be enough.

He needed a way to hit the nail again and again, like a hammer, until the nail was stuck in the wall, until the nail eventually disappeared into the wall, and even after the nail disappeared. Of course, during the process, he needed to attract the attention of the Gamecock and to deal with it.

‘I have to finish everything before it can explode again.’

And all this had to be done before the Gamecock exploded. At that moment, he held the Gilt-bronze Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Statue in his right hand more firmly.

The Energy in his stomach, the Mana in his chest, the Telekinesis in his head, and the empty place began to rise quickly. Even the Gilt-bronze Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Statue began to fill with his mental power and concentration.

Tsreung! The Sword of the Imperator on his back hummed again. It was time to show who was the owner of Bucheon City again.
