The chiras created by the Shin family had been a notorious nuisance since the ga days.
─ Guys, I just entered Guangdong Province, and these Shin family chiras are crazy fast. Why are they so fast?
─ Yeah, their attack power isn’t weak either. How do we deal with this zombie horde?
─ Unexpected zombie apocalypse survival ga lol
─ Their health is also tough. Even if a limb gets cut off or broken, they keep coming at you like crazy. Ugh...
─ Our Soup’s solid taunt only temporarily stops them in their tracks. What do we do now?!
The chiras were known for their agility and the powerful attacks granted by their transplanted monster limbs.
For new players in Velvets, the Shin family’s chiras were synonymous with terror.
’But they do have weaknesses,’ I thought.
First, fire.
"Se-hee."
"Yes, saturation!"
When I called out to Se-hee, she nodded and conjured a sea of red flas in the sky.
Whoosh!
Dozens of fireballs ignited in the air and began to descend.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Like teors, the fireballs rained down on the ground, but they didn’t directly harm the chiras.
After all, Se-hee’s magic wasn’t known for its speed, and without Ga-eul’s acceleration, it was even slower.
However, my intention was not to use Se-hee’s magic for direct attacks.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the fireballs continued to fall, a large circle of fire ford on the ground.
Yes, Se-hee’s magic was ant to restrict the chiras’ movent.
"Kang Do-hee."
I turned to Kang Do-hee and called out to her.
Thwip! Thwip!
Kang Do-hee and I dashed forward, but instead of running in the sa direction, we ran in opposite directions, circling the ring of fire.
Thwack!
Thwack!
Thwack!
Without even unsheathing my sword, I swung the scabbard, sending chiras flying into the ring of fire.
"Kreeeek!"
The chiras, thrown into the fiery circle, tried to charge at , but they couldn’t get close due to the flas.
Thwack!
"Keruruk!!!"
As we completed the semicircle, Kang Do-hee and I t again.
"Did you get them all?"
"Yup."
Hundreds of chiras were now trapped within the ring of fire. Normally, they would have waited for the fire to extinguish, but...
There was a gap in the circle, a single opening.
Bam-bam-bam-bam!!
"Kyaaaaaaa!!!"
"Kreeeek!!!"
"Kyaak!!"
That opening was where Yoo-ri stood with her shield raised.
"Yoo-ri, now."
At my command, Yoo-ri drew her dagger from its sheath and slamd it onto her shield.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The taunt’s magic spread among the chiras.
Thud!
Yoo-ri’s taunt only temporarily stopped the chiras in their tracks, but that was precisely what I had intended.
I looked up at the sky and nodded.
"Sophia, it’s been a while since you showed off your skills. Let’s see what you’ve got."
High above, where the zombies sward, Sophia stood on Ichika’s shadow, her bow aid at the sky.
Twang!
As she plucked the string,
Shrieeeek!
An arrow shot into the dark night sky, leaving a golden trail in its wake.
This was Sophia’s ultimate move, which hadn’t been used since the mid-term evaluation—a wide-area heal.
"Healing Rain".
As Yoo-ri’s taunt temporarily froze the chiras in their tracks,
Pit-a-pat!
A few drops of rain fell, and then...
Whoosh!
A dazzling golden downpour began.
Standing there, dumbfounded, one of the chiras began to writhe in agony.
"Kruk──?!"
Its flesh began to twist and contort painfully.
Creak!
"Kreeeek!!!!"
With a horrifying sound of ripping flesh, the chira’s mouth opened wide, and it let out a bloodcurdling scream.
The human body, forcibly fused with monster limbs, began to swell like a balloon.
The incompatible cells, each trying to regenerate, clashed and rebelled against each other, causing the barely maintained form to rapidly disintegrate.
Finally...
Boom!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The chira exploded in a spray of red blood, and then...
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The hundreds of chiras, like a domino effect, began to swell and burst one after the other.
Boom!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Flesh and bones rained down, creating a grueso spectacle.
Traditionally, in zombie-slaying, a healer’s healing magic was the most effective weapon.
I looked at the scene before and smirked.
"Art is an explosion."
"Look, did you see that?! How amazing is our Utopia’s power?!"
After dealing with all the chiras, the Utopia party regrouped in front of the Jeep.
For so reason, Ga-eul, who had been resting in the car during the entire battle, was now puffing out her chest in front of Shasha Fong, bragging about their accomplishnt. I wished she had spent that ti charging instead.
"..."
Shasha Fong, overwheld by the display of power, could only gape in silence.
"Ugh..."
"Ugh..."
"I feel nauseous..."
"Hmm... Is that all?" Ichika asked nonchalantly, while the rest of the party mbers scrunched up their faces in disgust.
"Hmm? If you’re already feeling queasy, how will you handle what’s to co?" I asked.
"Huh? You an this is just the beginning...?" Shasha Fong asked, her eyes pleading for it to be a lie.
"Yes, it’s common sense that the chiras wouldn’t just be here. It’s too easy and simple to deal with them this way. From now on, we’ll continue to encounter them and dispose of them in the sa manner," I explained.
At my words, everyone’s expressions soured as if they had bitten into sothing unpleasant.
"Please tell it’s not true..." Shasha Fong pleaded.
’Hmm, aren’t you feeling refreshed after seeing the explosions?’ I thought to myself.
It was so satisfying to see the enemies explode without having to deal with them individually.
’The chira explosion clips were always pinned on the Velvets community as well.’
I felt a pang of disappointnt that my party mbers couldn’t appreciate this artistic sensibility.

Underground in Guangdong Province, in the Shin family’s research lab...
"Please... let go..."
"Please... set free..."
"Please... I beg you..."
In a spotlessly white room, reminiscent of an OCD patient’s haven, dozens of people were trapped.
And in the center of the room, a large glass cylinder filled with green liquid contained a naked man.
Bubble, bubble...
The man inside the cylinder glared at his surroundings with eyes filled with hatred.
Standing in front of him, flipping through a chart, was a woman in a white lab coat.
She had long, shiny black hair, a pale face, and red eyes—a striking resemblance to Shin Se-hee, except for the eyes.
This woman was Shin Do-hwa, Shin Se-hee’s biological mother.
"Hmm..."
Shin Do-hwa looked up from the chart and turned her head slightly to the side, regarding the man in the cylinder.
"That’s odd... Where did I go wrong...?"
According to her calculations, the synchronization should have been complete by now. However, the man’s defiant attitude was unexpected.
Although she spoke in a casual tone, this was a significant problem.
This experint was the final step in the Shin family’s plan for ascension. As a result, she had even forgotten about her daughter, Shin Su-yeon, and Shin Se-hee.
The previous experint of artificially creating hunters from ordinary humans had already failed.
It had been proven that these artificially enhanced hunters were inferior in quality to natural hunters and were difficult to mass-produce.
So, this ti, they had captured an existing hunter, modified him to increase his power, and aid to control him.
However, the test subject refused to cooperate.
Beep!
When she pressed the red button connected to the cylinder, the man’s voice echoed from within.
"Let out of here!!!"
"Hmm... Why is he so rebellious...?"
"Tell what you did to Shasha!!!"
"Is that all you can say?"
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
The man pounded on the glass cylinder with his fists.
Even with his strength maximally suppressed, the cylinder shook as if it might shatter at any mont.
’The modification itself was a success, but sothing went wrong...’ Shin Do-hwa thought.
"Researcher."
She turned to the white-clad researcher standing next to her and called him over.
"Increase the brainwashing intensity to the maximum."
"But... if we do that, his brain might really be damaged. Weren’t we aiming to preserve his combat judgnt abilities?" the researcher asked, hesitant.
"Just do it. Getting the data is our top priority. If this test subject fails, we’ll just discard him and start over with a new one," Shin Do-hwa replied coldly.
Just then—
Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep.
Suddenly, the pristine white laboratory began to flash red, and an ear-piercing siren blared.
Shin Do-hwa’s face hardened as she realized that uninvited intruders had entered her domain.
