Muscles as if about to burst, skin as thick as a suit of armor, and several arms sticking out behind his back.
The giant, who looked like a Yaksha from the Buddhist scriptures, roared in a husky voice.
Choi Noah! Wheres Choi Noah?!
Everyone gathered at the training grounds had perplexed expressions on their faces.
Who were these monsters looking for Noah? Were they friends or enemies?
Depending on their alignnt now, the conflict could easily shift, so neither the Hero Association nor the trainees thought to move hastily.
It was the sa for Pamir who was quietly gauging the situation as he looked at them full of wariness.
Theyre not normal
Even the monster with several arms. It was hard to guess his power.
He was at least A-Rank. Maybe he was an existence that had reached the S-Rank like himself.
In addition, the goat-head woman and insect-winged man standing beside him also seed dangerous.
As such, he slipped his hand to the sword at his waist.
There was a mont of silence as everyone asured each other.
Soon, one of the monsters, as if he had found it hard to bear such silence, scowled and remarked.
Are you seeing this? Why isnt anyone answering this one?
Hoho, I guess they dont understand if we just ask nicely.
From the air, the Yaksha took out a colorful gold ornant engraved with sothing.
It was a Vajra, a Buddhist instrunt used in ancient Buddhism to practice asceticism. Although these days such a thing was simply sold as a tourist souvenir or sothing that could only be found in museums.
However, one difference from what was commonly known was that the Vajra held by the monster was big enough to be called a blunt weapon.
Well, if you guys are going to be like that, Ill personally help you open your mouths.
The monster stamped the huge Vajra he was holding on the ground.
Boom!
The training ground cracked like a fissure, and from the Vajra, dark red lightning erupted.
Soon, the monstrous red lightning stretched out violently like a wild beast.
Bang!
Peoples bodies began to explode like firecrackers one after another.
Those standing nearby beca soaked in blood as if they were covered with red paint.
It all happened in an instant before people knew what had happened.
Dozens of people had turned into a pool of blood with one simple attack.
The targets included both the Hero Associations people and the trainees who supported Noah.
K-kyaaak!
M-murder!
People who understood the situation one step later scread, while those covered in blood had no choice but to freeze with their faces as white as a sheet of paper.
V-villains
V-villains! V-villains are here!
Only then did people realize.
The monsters in front of them werent on anyones side but were villains who had co to kill them.
Everyone sitting in the stands who were watching ran away in a fit of panic, but at so point they were forced to stop in place.
Fuck! Its blocked!
Heuk! I want to go hoLet out! Let out!
An enormous barrier surrounding the institute was blocking them.
In addition, even their phones were blocked, so it was a situation where the outside couldnt be contacted.
Huh? Youre leaving without answering this ones question. What insolence!
Dark red lightning rose again from the monsters body.
Then, with a giant lightning bolt in hand, he pulled his arm back like an Olympic athlete preparing to hurl a javelin.
You need to be punished.
After a short run-up, he used his tight-stretched muscles to throw the lightning bolt.
Boom!
Along with the deafening sound of thunder, the red lightning bolt flew toward the stand.
But at that very mont,
Kiieeek!
A blue feathered grouse intercepted the lightning bolt with its body.
From its body, blue electric currents flashed.
Huh? Whats this? What a strange creature.
The monster couldnt believe there was a creature perfectly intact even after being struck by his lightning.
He looked at the grouse full of curiosity.
While he was in awe, from sowhere ca the sinking voice of a man.
Villains
Hmm?
I dont know who the hell you are or why youre here, but
Behind the giant grouse, a man somberly stepped forward.
It was the worlds most capable lightning ability user and hero of S-Rank, Shin Cheonho. Pointing the tip of his sword at the monster, he continued.
Im going to make one thing clear.
Huu? What the hell is that?
Thats
The grouse standing next to Shin Cheonho turned bright before seeping into his body.
His body grew increasingly blue as blue lightning arced.
Soon, Shin Cheonho, who had beco sothing like the spirit of lightning, warned the monsters coldly.
The mont you kill innocent civilians, youve already forfeited your life. Sodont ask for rcy.
Keuhahaha! How dare an ordinary human be arrogant in front of this one. Then, shall we take a look at your skills?
As a result, a battle of blue and red lightning began to clash.
* * * * * * * * * *
anwhile, the goat-head woman who was watching the scene sighed briefly inside.
HuuI knew this would happen.
Fighting Spirit King, Yaksha. Although he was one of the strongest executives in Eighth Layer Hell, one drawback was that he would get carried away and forget his original purpose once a mission started. In fact, she didnt expect much when she had set up this operation.
Well, anyway, Im glad hes taking care of the strongest among them.
It was important for them to move to the next part of the plan quickly while Yaksha was keeping Shin Cheonho occupied.
Everyone move to the gym!
If anyone from the audience has a hero license, please help direct the way!
Dokgo Hakju, other faculties, and several trainees were seen leading people to evacuate.
Was it because they were from the hero industry?
Unlike what you would expect from normal citizens, their actions were quite orderly and systematic despite the sudden situation.
Its just a trifling struggle in the end.
In order to easily find and kill Noah, the more hostages, the better.
As such, it was rather a beneficial situation for Eighth Layer Hell if they gathered in one place on their own.
She turned around and looked at the man with insect wings behind her.
Henri, Ill leave that over there to you.
Heuung~ Good. But do you mind if I play with so?
Fine. But, please leave so alive so we have hostages for the plan.
HuhuAll right. Even if its hard, Ill hold it in.
Henri smiled wickedly and disappeared as if he had lted into the air.
The goat-head woman imdiately turned her head and spoke to those who were drawing their weapons at her.
Thank you for waiting.
Theres no reason to refuse when the enemy would disperse on their own.
The man in silver armor said calmly.
Maybe he was from the Hero Association, but surprisingly, he didnt seem to care much about the safety of the citizens.
You could certainly think that. And, this isnt for to say, butArent you worried about those citizens?
For the greater cause, sacrifices are inevitable. It was judged that revealing your identity was a priority over the lives of a few citizens.
Huh?
An unexpected answer.
The goat-head woman observed the man, wondering if he was up to sothing, but as if he had really ant it from the bottom of his heart, there was no sign of agitation.
Huhuas expected, this world is rotten. Thanks to you, I am convinced once again that my choice to follow his will was right.

She gave a pleasant smile after hearing what the man had said.
anwhile, the man was still looking at her full of vigilance.
So who the hell are you people? Whats your purpose?
HmmI was just going to clean up everyone because it was cumberso. Well, your words moved , so Ill let you know.
Raising her hands in the air as if she was holding the hem of a skirt, she lowered her head.
Nice to et you, heroes. My na is Sophia.
Shriiik
Her clothes were torn and the wings of a bat revealed itself from behind her back.
Im the chief executive of the villain group that you know as Eighth Layer Hell
Her clearly exposed body had six breasts and below it were bent legs that resembled those of a goat.
Along with a rush of dark red mana, a pentagram magic circle was ford around her body.
An Apostle who was bestowed the na Baphot by the great Angra Mainyu.
She said, smiling and revealing her teeth.
In other words, the end of the world is near.
Yellow breath gushes out of her mouth.
The sll of sulfur stung everyones nose, and at one point, the surrounding landscape was turned into hell covered with acrid black smoke.
At the sa ti, all over the ground, rotten blood soared like hot spring water as it suddenly swept the Hero Association workers by surprise.
Huh? Wh-whats this?
M-my bodyKkuaaak!
Just one drop. Even though it was just a little graze on their bodies, those who had touched the liquid began to rot, spewing pus from all holes.
One of the workers wrenched in pain, reaching out to a colleague nearby.
Keuk! S-save
H-hold on a second! IKueeook!
The colleague who was touched also began to rot and showed the sa symptoms.
However, one difference from earlier was that the symptoms seed to have weakened.
Sophia kindly explained.
Huhuthis curse gets weaker the more its divided. If you really care about your colleagues, why dont you share the pain?
In response to her words, those who had fallen to the ground raised their heads and began to stagger towards their colleagues.
I want to live, I want to live, I want to live
I-I have to liveMy daughterMy daughter is waiting
However, no one stood up and reached out to them.
Everyone could only look away and repeat the word sorry to themselves.
Looking at such a grueso scene, the Hero Association workers closed their eyes tightly.
At that very mont,
Swiik!
The heads of those struggling to live fell to the ground at once.
I understand now. It was a filthy cult.
Pamir shook off the blood from his sword and scowled at Sophia.
Well, for a heretic like you, I guess unsealing it will be fine.
Pamir threw off layers of his silver armor one by one. Light began to gush out of his body a little more each ti that happened.
This is just perfectIve been aning to ask you sothing about Eighth Layer Hell.
After finally throwing off the last layer of armor, he charged at Sophia with six white wings behind his back.
* * * * * * * * * *
It was fortunate people had scattered after the monsters appearance since it would save the trouble of dealing with witnesses later.
Thanks to that, I safely used and was able to get close to the Inspector.
I was going to wait for an opportunity to stick a sword behind his back.
But
What the hell was that?
A naked black man with angel wings while wielding a burning sword.
And across from him was a naked woman with six breasts spreading all kinds of evil curses.
I stared blankly at the terrible sight.
Didnt Kim Taehi say he was A-Rank?
According to the information she had given , Pamir was an A-Rank hero.
But the power I was sensing from him now was comparable to the dragon I had fought just a while ago.
That ant
He was at least S-Rank.
Why wasnt anyone aware of it?
It was impossible for a hero of this caliber not to be known.
And the goat-head who was dealing with such a fellow was also formidable
Damnit seed I needed to change my plan.
I opened my status window and checked the new Challenge that had appeared a mont ago.
[Challenge Evil Gods Apostle(1)]
Condition: Eliminate the Apostles of an Evil God.
Ti: Unlimited.
Reward: Varies depending on performance.
Originally, I was going to kill Pamir quickly and then the monster to get the reward.
But to say that could be done, those two were stronger than I had thought.
Frankly, when I had killed the dragon in Hong Kong, I was able to defeat it because the skills and weapons I had were good against it.
But in this situation, Grams buff was useless, and in the case of , there wasnt much difference in size, so it was likely ineffective.
And in the worst case scenario, those two would work together to subdue .
Sophia said she was here to catch after all
HuuWhat should I do?
My mind beca a ss.
I just wanted those two to fight each other like this and perish together.
The mont I thought as such, an idea flashed across my mind.
Hmm? Wait a minutePerish together?
I stopped for a mont and tapped on a calculator quickly. And the conclusion was
Thiswasnt it possible if I do it well?
Naturally it wasnt easy for to balance the fight between these S-Ranks, but it wasnt completely out of the question either.
That was all I got right now
When my crazy thoughts reached up to that point, just in ti soones groan broke out from where the two were fighting.
Keuk!
The naked Pamir had crashed to the ground at a rapid pace. Blood could be seen leaking from his mouth.
And across from him was Sophia with a dried, withered arm emitting sinister energy in her hand.
Heuk, heukI didnt expect to use the power of the relic.
It was a body part similar to the arm in Elizabeths safekeep.
KeukWhat is that evil power?
This is the power of the great Angra Mainyu! So be honored. Kneel before his great power!
A vortex of dark red energy surrounded her body and in no ti she began to grow in size.
Her white skin beca covered in pitch black fur and behind her hip a lengthy snake head grew.
Finally
In the middle of her forehead, an ominous-looking third eye appeared between an upside-down pentagram.
This will be the end.
Sophia, who had really turned into a monster, lunged one of her giant legs toward Pamir.
In that mont of desperation,
Bang!
I had activated to block it.
Choi Noah, A-Rank hero. Its not much, but Ill cover you!
Y-you? Why are you here?
In the heat of the sudden event, Pamir stared at with a puzzled expression. I grabbed him by the arm and lifted him up.
This is naturally where Im supposed to be.
Saying so, I put on the most heroic smile I could muster.
