A Hero Becomes an Obsessed Villain - Episode 331
EP.331 - Monster of the Sea
After having a nice conversation with Celeste.
When I returned home, I lay down on the sofa with my heart pounding..
"I endured it for ten years, really...."
Although it was an exciting conversation that was possible because I knew everything about Celeste's personality, values, and behavior through comics, I was still scared..
Smiling sarcastically with a steel plate on my face in front of a person who could reduce me to ashes with a single finger was furious at me, as expected, it took a lot of mental strength. Still, it's a success, so it's okay.
"Oh my... I'm dying."
"Master, may I offer you some water??"
"...no."
I saw the angel who politely spoke to me, and with that said, I walked over to the other side. ...I feel like trash because a grown woman is calling me her master..
For your information, the angel had taken off his usual white Greek clothes and was wearing a light blue T-shirt. The characteristic feature is that Mr. Subin modified the stopper at the back so that large wings can pass through..
Anyway, I was suffering from the side effects of meeting Celeste like this. If all goes according to my plan, she will be punished by me one day. Yeah... I absolutely will. I don't know when that will happen...
Anyway, even though I'm fretting like this, it's an undeniable fact that I took a breather..
I must have gotten an angel, and I must have escaped Celeste safely. Actually, Phase 3 is over now..
There was still a lot of time left before the start of Phase 4, but it was the right time to retire from terrorism and rest before that..
'After retiring... If I'm bored, I'll try raising other heroes in my spare time..'
...Come to think of it, isn’t that retirement??
Anyway, that's what I was thinking..
Naturally, our Egostream colleagues were thinking the same thing..
"brother. I really need to retire now.?"
Seo-eun talks to me with her eyes shining.
When I smiled faintly at her and avoided my gaze, Seo-eun opened her hands and folded her fingers one by one and said,.
"Last time, I made it clear that I would retire once I finished Moonlight Bridge, that I would retire if I killed only the person whose wish came true, and this time, if I catch an angel, I would retire. Now you've really done everything. Right?"
"Um... right?"
"So now I'm really retiring.?"
When Seo-eun was holding my hand and saying that.
Even Subin, who had come over before I knew it, was sitting next to me, covering the back of my hand with his hand with a worried expression, looking into my eyes and saying..
"Mr. Dain... I'm worried now too. Honestly, you worked hard. It's already been a few times that you've risked your life to work... I think it's time to get it sorted out.."
From Seoeun to Subin.
Since the two people who have been with me since the beginning said that, I had no choice but to raise my white flag..
"Okay, okay. I'm really quitting now.."
"and. It's true?"
"yes. Lastly, just a few terrorist attacks.."
"...ha. all right. If that's the case."
After repeating my promise, I returned to my room..
okay. Still, I have to do a few more terrorist attacks before I go... I also want to check if the Stardust power was really completed as I thought..
'...Of course, it will be a terrorist attack focused on ability verification, so it will be a bit harsh..'
It's not because I feel a bit sad about breaking up like this... Cancer.
Anyway, then my last terror attack... um. How about all of our Egostream members step forward and do it? It feels a bit like an All-Star finale. I don't think it's bad.
Anyway, with that in mind, I planned my next terrorist attack..
"Seo Eun-ah. I need you to help me so I can attack quickly and retire quickly.."
"Ha... okay. What can I do??"
That's how I received Seoeun's help..
It was a time when several terrorist attacks were being planned for the last time..
"uh?"
Atlas, who had been out of contact for a while, was contacted again..
[Egostick, where are you??]
"yes? It's my house, why are you doing this??
[Other than that, do you remember the sea monsters I told you about last time? You said there was a guy heading towards your country..]
"yes. I remember."
[I finally found the location of the guy who just escaped....]
[That's right in front of your country.]
"...yes?"
When I was confused by his words.
Suddenly, my phone rang..
I checked for a moment and did something..
*
[emergency disaster text]
[Association] A giant monster has now appeared on the east coast. We ask that all nearby citizens evacuate to bunkers..
*
'No... what's going on??'
Suddenly, I heard my cell phone ringing, so I hurried out to the living room and caught the news on TV, my head pounding..
[Breaking news! Currently, an unidentified giant black monster has appeared on the east coast, creating chaos! This creature is currently destroying the city to such a large scale that it makes strange noises that disturb the mind....]
What is shown in the video is a monster made up of black tentacles that look like a squid's body with an octopus-like face and huge wings..
An unexpected monster that has never been seen in the original work, with a bizarre appearance half its body in the sea..
Those are the ones our Atlas told us about, some of the monsters of the Moonlight Bridge who fell into the sea and were transformed..
This is one of those guys that Atlas has been fighting so far..
I think I said that the entity heading towards me wasn't very strong....
'...That's weak?'
I'm not saying there's something like that swarming in the deep sea right now..
'Atlas... what kind of fight have you been fighting alone?...'
I felt somehow sorry. Even if I got permission, I was the one who manipulated the gate and caused the monsters to fall into the sea....
Anyway, that guy looked unusual. Especially if it is an evolved form of the Moon Monster. They don't get along very well with Starders. It would take a few days to catch something, but it was natural that there would be great damage in the process..
still.
There was no problem.
Because I can catch it.
[How can you be egoistic? If you think you're in danger, I can go help you now..]
To Atlas who said that to me, I smiled and said.
"Do not worry. Didn't you tell me how to deal with it? I will handle it."
[No matter how egoistic you are, be careful. Because they are formidable.]
After saying yes to Atlas who warned me, I hung up the phone and took my cape and headset..
"Seo-eun, my brother will come back.."
"...He said he doesn't do anything dangerous anymore. No, is your brother a real hero? If something happens, I'll go out?"
"don't worry. That level is not dangerous anymore. and..."
I was lost in thought as I looked at the angel Halo standing blankly in the living room..
"Hmm..."
...perhaps.
This might be an opportunity to test the power of our secret weapon, Angel, in Phase 4..

'...It's been a while since I've been quiet.'
Korea’s S-class hero, Stardust.
She flew away in an instant at the sound of a monster appearing, and frowned when she saw the huge monster in front of her..

A truly gigantic monster the size of a skyscraper that attacks the city with its huge tentacles and makes a horrifying noise that is unpleasant just to listen to..
Stadus' eyes frowned even more when he heard that..
Actually, it's not that I haven't fought with these monsters. Rather, we fought a lot. Especially during Moonlight Bridge, I have already faced a monster of this size..
But... back then, it didn't make such a bizarre sound that made my head hurt just hearing it..
"..."
No, in the first place, wasn't the Moonlight Bridge an event almost equivalent to the destruction of the world? Why is the monster that was supposed to appear at that time showing up now??
With that question in mind, she held the light in her hand and clenched her fist..
...I don't know. First of all, let's get it done as quickly as possible..
Thinking like that, she rushed towards the giant monster. Her whole body glowed yellow, like a shooting star..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
And just like that, the battle began.
...Until then, she didn't know.
I can't believe this battle would get this fierce..

"...Write. When should I step forward?."
city on the east coast.
Having finally arrived, I sat on the building for a while and observed the situation..
When I arrived, I saw Stardus and that sea monster fighting fiercely..
It was so intense that there was no room to intervene. No, if I were to teleport into there, I would instantly become a shrimp caught in a whale fight and be crushed..
'...and.'
Now, I don't want to be too closely involved with Stardust. I'm retiring soon, so it's time to move away. hmm...
With that in mind, I measured the angle. I guess I'll have to attack from afar..
I prepared with that in mind..
..Especially when I saw it as a Stardust expert, no matter how much I thought about it, she seemed to be overdoing it. Is it because that guy keeps throwing brainwave attacks?.
And that was when I thought so.
"....!"
While Stardust is attacking him.
She saw a huge tentacle flying behind her, catching her off guard..
And the moment I saw that.
I was teleporting without realizing it..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
"Ugh… clack, clack. ego stick...?"
"...haha. Hello, Mr. Stathers.."
It was literally an instant when Stardust was placed in my hand..
...The body moved first..
