“Me.”

A buzzing voice came from the sky.

Suji gritted her teeth, guessing what she would hear next.

“It’s the Messiah.”

“It’s the Messiah. Have you been waiting for me?”

How could lines be so predictable?

But that predictability was even scarier.

I wondered if the next scene would be exactly like the one we saw in the reward for “Laurel Tree.” I

wondered if the scene where people were swept away like dust on a rainy day would be reproduced. I wondered if I would see that hopeless sight again.

And the video of meeting this guy was hell, but the video of Elaine shedding tears was also impressive.

I never wanted to make anyone look like that again.

“… … I waited. To kill you!”

As Suji screamed in anger, a huge mouth opened between the tentacles.

The huge, red mouth, whose size was hard to gauge, blew out air in a round shape.

Was it laughing or angry?

The bodies of the party swayed in the terribly unpleasant wind that seemed to be filled with poison.

They couldn’t even start an attack like this.

“You should know that. You can’t win.”

There seemed to be another mouth with a proper oral structure somewhere in the invisible sky. It kept talking like a human. It was already

so horrible, but now I have to see something even more horrible.

Instead of responding, Suji whistled loudly.

A huge dragon dozens of times the size of a human bit the piece and loaded it on its back, and Elaine rode on the unicorn.

Suji prepared her wings, readying to take out her scythe at any moment.

At that moment,

a giant stingray flew in from the edge of her vision. About ten hunters were riding on its back.

“You were thinking of finishing this big event with just four people?”

With that loud shout, Knight fired a bow with a huge chain attached.

“Uncle Seunghwan!”

Suji was so surprised that she unconsciously shouted Knight’s real name even though she knew there was a camera.

In the midst of all this, I wondered if my real name was really that important.

“What happened to Wave?”

“You can’t just stay there and worry for a long time, right?”

As she said that, Creusa jumped down from Gaori’s back.

“Aunt Yeonju!”

Creusa must have gotten used to the battle in the meantime, because she dodged the tentacles flying towards her without a care, flipped over, and stabbed them with her dagger.

A few of the civil servant hunters who were quite familiar with her briefly greeted Suji and quickly joined the battle.

Suji flew between them and dodged here and there as much as she could while striking. She

was so big that she couldn’t catch up to them, and she couldn’t avoid the enemy’s sight.

‘Usually, when you’re this big, shouldn’t you at least slow down?’

Boom!

Boom!

Kwaang!

The thing didn’t seem to care at all about the reinforcements that had appeared, and it didn’t rush to attack.

However, each and every one of the small attacks was beyond the range of what a human could avoid. Even if it had known in advance, it would have been impossible to block it.

Ssaeaaaak!

Pis, riding the dragon, flew low and tried to rescue the people as much as possible, but it wasn’t easy.

Boom, bang!

Suzy flew between the tentacles, dealing dot damage, and suddenly she had a strange premonition when she raised her head.

The tentacles had all risen toward the sky, creating a huge shadow on the ground.

It was a very short gap, but the shadow’s range was clearly visible.

‘It’s a plank.’

It was an attack pattern similar to the tower’s system that announced the attack range in advance.

“Avoid!”

Suzy screamed, but the range was too wide.

Two of the hunters who couldn’t dodge were crushed, and another one fainted with a crushed leg bone.

Anger and sadness made her dizzy, but the attack struck before she could.

‘… … You knew it.’

That was what would happen.

That’s why she didn’t ask for help.

But they volunteered to come because they also had their own sense of mission.

It was something she couldn’t stop or criticize.

Bwaaang!

The tentacles beat the ground more and more violently as if they were swatting away mosquitoes.

Suji continued swinging the swords she held in both hands, focusing on attacking only one tentacle. Thanks to the effect of the berserk effect, she somehow managed to cut off about half of the enormous tentacle.

Swish.

But before she could get away, the tendon she had barely cut off reattached itself and flesh grew between them.

‘… Regeneration?’

Suzy was so shocked that she let out a hollow laugh.

It seemed to automatically recover if damage exceeded a certain level.

There were many monsters like this.

But it wasn’t a slime the size of a palm, and how on earth was she supposed to catch such a huge monster with regeneration properties?

“This is going to be crazy.”

It seemed like she had to cut it off in one go, but it was too thick for that.

That was when.

Clang!

With a deafening noise, the giant tentacles began to squeeze through the narrow mouth of a bottle, widening the hole in the sky.

It was truly a horrifying sight. Even

the sun, which was tilted to the west, was obscured by the tentacles.

“Team Leader! It seems that the nature of the hole in the sky itself is similar to a crack!”

Saint shouted loudly at that moment.

Suzy nodded as she jumped high to avoid the tentacles that were pounding the ground.

Her thoughts were the same.

Common sense tells us that the sky itself does not exist physically.

The thing that came tearing through like a piece of paper must have been some kind of dimension or time barrier.

Like a ‘crack’.

Boom, bang!

At that moment, its tentacles struck the ground once again.

“Gyaaaaah!”

A faint scream was heard from afar.

In the midst of this melee, Suji’s head snapped up.

“Isn’t that a civilian?”

Peace, who was riding on the dragon’s back, also heard it and shouted urgently.

“It seems the shelter has been destroyed! I’ll cover that area for now!”

Elaine’s urgent voice flowed through the terminal.

Oh my.

It was possible.

The thing was so huge that you could only see its entire body from afar, otherwise you wouldn’t even be able to tell what it looked like.

The shelters were quite far from the Han River, but it wouldn’t have been strange if the thing’s attack had hit the shelters.

“… … We have to do something.”

Suji muttered anxiously. If

we stall like this, the casualties will only increase.

The more Hunters who participate in this situation, the more likely we are to win.

If we don’t win now, even before the main body has arrived, there will be no chance once the Messiah has completely descended upon the earth.

At that moment, the guy’s voice overlapped with a squeaking noise.

“Humanity will self-destruct anyway.”

Kekeke, with a boiling laugh, the guy started talking again.

“For what reason should humanity, which pursues self-destruction, continue to survive?”

Suji clicked her tongue.

Self-destruction?

War, starvation, environmental problems.

The guy might be talking about those things.

In fact, before the Hunter System, a common enemy, appeared, humanity was already headed toward destruction.

‘… … What’s that? Why are you asking me now?’

But that had nothing to do with my generation, and even if it did, it wasn’t something I should hear from a monster who killed humans like toys for a bet.

“It’s better to self-destruct than to die to someone like you!”

Suji replied and swung her sword again at the tentacle that had just regenerated.

‘That’s the opportunity when he lets his guard down. Think, think. Think, Seo Suji.’

She knew it too.

If she fell here, humanity would be annihilated.

There was already a huge gap between Suji’s skills and the other hunters.

The gap widened even more as she broke through the tower to stop Messiah.

Messiah knew that too.

That’s why she insisted on persuading Suji like this. It would be easier if she could just gently talk the bug out of the way.

“Team Leader! It seems like the nature of the hole in the sky is similar to a crack!”

Suddenly, Saint’s words flashed through her mind.

‘Then… …’

The thought that she might be able to approach the main body of the thing flashed through her mind.

Let’s fight somewhere else.

If she could approach there, she could draw aggro from both sides.

Seeing that it exposed its legs first, she might be able to find its weak point.

In a situation like this where there were so many people to guard, Suji couldn’t fight with peace of mind.

Sujin returned the rapiers in both hands to her inventory and summoned the “Demiurge’s Scythe.”

Inside the tower, I really thought it was a giant scythe, but it was funny how it looked like a toy toothpick in front of the Messiah.

“I don’t know.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I don’t know anything about humanity. I’m still in the prime of my life, and when I was thinking of taking a proper rest, I rolled into this damn gambling table! I have to live so I can play some more!”

Suzy shouted as she picked up the 〈Demiurge’s Scythe〉 and swung it around with both hands.

Critical!

[Critical!

Damage efficiency increases by 3% due to the activation of the trait 〈Malicious Heart〉.]

It seemed like the gift from the ‘Great Beings’ wasn’t in vain, as a critical hit landed right on time.

Even with the critical hit, moving the scythe was difficult. It was like using an extremely dull knife.

It seemed like the space beyond the crack was something that I shouldn’t approach.
