Absolute person in every corner-Episode 211

211Episode [Episode 44] Entering Japan (1)

Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan.

In terms of distance alone, Fukuoka was closer to Busan than Seoul..

Except for the fact that there is an ocean in the middle, it is a fairly close city..

However, unlike Busan, Fukuoka's cityscape was nothing short of miserable..

half-destroyed buildings.

Streets full of blood and filth.

Monsters eating corpses.

Although there was no separate hell unfolding in this world, there were people who survived even in this hellish city..

“mister. What should we do now??”

“What should I do? I have to run away.”

Fujiwara Kenji was regretting his decision to go out today..

‘Shit. I'll wait one more day.’

I had no choice but to come out to get drinking water, and as it turned out, 'that guy' was wandering around here..

‘I shouldn't have come out of the barrier..’

Of course, it was no coincidence that Kenji Fujiwara survived until now..

It was thanks to his ability to create a barrier in a certain space..

However, like all abilities, his ability was not omnipotent..

There were several limitations to the barrier; basically, it was impossible for his barrier to completely block monsters..

Unlike Kim Jae-hyun's domain, unauthorized beings were also able to enter and exit at will..

However, it is a type of cover-up that prevents those outside the barrier from knowing what is happening inside..

“mister…….”

On Kenji Fujiwara's back was a girl with a terrified face, tears and snot pouring out..

“It's okay, Mayu. Let's go home quickly.”

I wanted to criticize him and ask why he was so stubborn about following me, but I couldn't..

‘In the end, I was the one who gave permission..’

Almost a year since the monster apocalypse occurred.

The only people who survived so far were myself, Mayu Kubo, and this young child..

If he dies right away, there will be no one to take care of Mayu..

I thought basic education was necessary to prepare for that time, and I tried to teach them how to empty empty houses and take care of drinking water and food..

‘But I never thought I'd run into that guy.…….’

There was a time when even a single goblin was difficult for him, but now he could handle a group of orcs with just a sword in his hand..

Plus, I was lucky enough to get a shotgun, so I had no problems encountering monsters of any level..

‘If it weren't for him.’

But today, I ran into him, and he was sprinting to survive..

The good news was that there were no monsters to be seen on the streets..

It is no coincidence that there are few monsters in this area where Fujiwara Kenji settles down..

The reason there are so few monsters is because this is ‘that guy’s’ territory..

That moment.

Wow!

With a huge impact sound, the concrete shattered and the guy appeared in front of me..

‘shit!’

2A gorilla so large that it completely blocks a lane of traffic..

The sturdy-looking muscular body was covered with smooth metal instead of skin..

A silver gorilla slowly looked down at them from the shattered concrete..

and.

Huh!

It came upon them in an instant..

Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

The silver gorilla's fist hit the floor, making a loud noise, and the concrete floor splattered like liquid..

Kenji Fujiwara, who narrowly escaped the attack range, threw the backpack he was wearing on one shoulder with all his might..

Powwow!

The backpack that was flying towards the gorilla's face was hit by the gorilla's fist and exploded in the air..

The bottled water and canned goods that were filling the backpack were shattered and flying in all directions..

Even though I dedicated the entire day to stocking up on food and water, I never felt like it was a waste..

Because I could have bought some time by sacrificing that..

-Hehehe?

The gorilla looked around..

This is because Fujiwara Kenji and Kubo Mayu, who were clearly in front of us until just moments ago, have disappeared..

‘thank god. It worked this time too.’

Kenji Fujiwara's ability is a secret barrier..

The simple act of drawing a circle was enough to create a perfect hiding veil..

Thanks to becoming quite adept at using my abilities, I was able to activate a barrier within a circle drawn with my feet in a split second..

Once inside the barrier, you cannot see, smell, or feel anything from the outside..

But there was one fatal flaw..

Anyone can invade that place..

Kwang-kung―

It was said that if someone who was sniffing and searching the surroundings happened to come in here, he would be caught right away..

‘And the same goes for hideouts..’

His hideout was a large circle surrounding an entire building with a veil of secrecy..

but.

‘If you go to the hideout like this, you'll get caught..’

I don't know what that guy's tracking method is, but no matter how many times he's been ostracized in this way, he's been persistently following along..

In that case, it was obvious that he would track me to the hideout area..

‘Then, if you are unlucky enough to enter the barrier, everything is over..’

If that happens, the building itself will be shattered by that iron fist..

‘Should I abandon the hideout??’

In any case, all food and water were running out..

It wasn't a bad idea to abandon that place and look for a new hideout..

but.

‘The chances of survival during this time are close to zero..’

It's a world overflowing with all kinds of monsters..

And it's not just monsters that are dangerous..

Sometimes humans were more dangerous.

In such a world, it was not easy to abandon a place once established..

‘furthermore…….’

Fujiwara gently stroked the two small arms that were hugging his neck tightly..

‘There is a very high chance that Mayu will die in the process..’

It was a very dangerous and difficult process..

It was almost impossible to move while protecting Mayu in a situation where it was difficult to take care of one's own life right away..

Above all, if we were together, we could never escape the monster right in front of us..

In all likelihood, Mayu will die..

‘In the end, it's best to go back to the hideout.’

There was only one plan that came to mind for that purpose..

“Horse oil. Listen carefully from now on.”

As Fujiwara spoke with a serious face, Kubo Mayu also wiped away her tears and listened..

“From now on I will be the bait.”

“what is that……!”

“Just listen.”

Kenji Fujiwara held both shoulders of Mayu Kubo, who was about to protest harshly, and opened his mouth with a determined expression..

“It’s too dangerous to go to the hideout like this. Because that guy will follow us until the end. So you have to beat that guy..”

“but―.”

“Your presence is a hindrance. Because I have to carry you and move.”

“…….”

Kubo Mayu looked like she was going to cry again, but she nodded and answered..

“I understood.”

“okay. Mayu, wait here for a while inside the barrier, and when that monster disappears, run to the hideout with all your might. You can do it?”

“……huh.”

Fujiwara chuckled and stroked Mayu’s head..

“good.”

There was still more I wanted to say.

Don't forget what you learned today, or when time passes, you will have to go find food and water on your own..

But I couldn't say those words.

I don't know what kind of unexpected action Mayu will make when she senses that if I tell her that, it will be the last time..

“Mayu is a smart kid, she can handle it on her own until I get back.?”

“huh.”

“okay.”

Fujiwara glanced at the silver gorilla still looking around nearby and handed the shotgun strapped to his back to Mayu..

“I'm sorry, but could you please take this too? I guess it won't be of any use to that guy..”

“……leave it to me.”

The shotgun may be heavy for a small body, but it is a hundred times better than nothing..

It's not like there aren't any monsters around here..

‘That's funny, me too.’

knew.

If you become bait, there is a high probability that you will die..

If you die, the barrier in your hideout won't last a week either..

There is a high possibility that Mayu will die by then..

‘But if we get greedy now, we'll both end up dead..’

It would have been best to buy both, but realistically it was impossible..

‘Be realistic.…….’

Suddenly, I remembered Mayu’s words from last night..

One day, he will destroy all the monsters in the world and make it a peaceful world like before.?

I appealed to him about the need to learn how to get food and water..

Fujiwara said it was impossible, and Mayu responded,.

‘I said you can't only dream of what's possible..’

Mayu's words had the power to move my heart, and I eventually decided to accompany him..

‘I shouldn't have done that. next time… … She should have brought it out next time.’

If I were alone, wouldn't I have been able to somehow escape that monster and return to the hideout?.

It's too late to regret it now.

It's called regret because regret is too late.

‘There is no use in regretting.’

All you have to do now is make the best move under the circumstances..

“Well, see you later..”

With those last words, Fujiwara jumped out of the barrier and started running at full speed in the opposite direction of the hideout..

-Kwok?

Naturally, the silver gorilla was the first to notice his presence and began chasing him with a wild roar..

He started running first, but due to the huge difference in basic specifications, Fujiwara quickly caught up with him..

At the same time as throwing the body as if jumping.

Kwaaaaang!

The floor he was standing on just a moment ago exploded like a firecracker..

Fujiwara left the area at full speed and turned his body slightly as soon as he entered the building..

A round circle was completed by sweeping away the dust that had accumulated on the floor, and Fujiwara's presence was erased along with the hazy dust..

-Whoa whoa!

While Fujiwara hid behind the hidden barrier, the silver gorilla used his entire body to break through the entrance to the building..

In the process of the glass and exterior walls at the entrance of the building being completely shattered..

Powok!

“Ugh!”

A piece of stone hit Fujiwara on the head..

Thanks to gritting his teeth and holding on, the barrier was safely maintained, and the silver gorilla, who missed Fujiwara's presence, went deep inside the building and ran wild..

Kwasik! Kwaaang!

Immediately after confirming that the pillars and floor were shattered and the bastard entered the interior..

‘now!’

Fujiwara quickly escaped the building, throwing a grenade he had carefully kept in his arms at the guy..

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The ground shook with a huge explosion..

There was no time to check the results..

‘I won't die like this.’

Fujiwara started running away at full speed again..

Kwaaaaang!

As he expected, the silver gorilla did not appear to have suffered any damage..

Even though it was hit directly by a grenade, there wasn't a single scratch on its steel skin..

‘This is crazy!’

After that, I tried to elude him by making full use of nearby terrain features and hiding barriers, but it was no use..

There was a basic speed difference, and the moment Fujiwara came out of the barrier, he noticed it immediately..

Even now, whenever Fujiwara disappears, he wanders nearby and refuses to leave..

In that short moment, I learned a little bit about the hidden barrier..

‘shit.’

Fujiwara gritted his teeth as he watched the monster gorilla sniffing with its mouth open right in front of him..

‘It's a judgment call..’

Fujiwara took out the last grenade left in his pocket and pulled out the safety pin..

and.

“Wow!”

I rushed at the monster in front of me and stuck my hand into its mouth..

next moment.

Wooooow!

The grenade that fell into the monster's mouth exploded, sending shock waves spreading in all directions..

Rumbling

Immediately after that, a huge amount of blood poured out from the monster gorilla's mouth..

‘done!’

A fatal blow occurred.

‘I lived!’

For a moment, I was happy to have survived once again at the crossroads of life and death..

Powok!

The gorilla on the verge of death made its final counterattack..

Kwasik!

I lost my mind for a moment.

When Fujiwara came to his senses, all he could feel was a tingling shock to the back of his head and a motionless body..

“ha. ha.”

couldn't move.

On the other hand, the monster gorilla was approaching step by step, even though blood was dripping from the corner of its mouth..

Before we knew it, death was just around the corner..

‘Damn it. That monster bastard. Was he infected?.’

The area where the monster gorilla hit was becoming increasingly transparent..

This meant that his power was running wild..

It was obvious what to say in case an awakened person becomes infected with contaminated energy..

Because I've seen it so many times now.

‘Immediately after the explosion of power, he will turn into a monster..’

The moment you get hit by that guy's fist and come into contact with the contaminated energy, your fate is already decided..

‘……Maybe you should have taught Mayu how to shoot a gun?.’

Even in this situation, he thought of Mayu first, which made him think that the child was really special to him..

‘We're not even blood relatives..’

Is it because I stuck around the longest in this ruined world?.

After they became two, she almost raised them herself, so they were no different from her daughters..

‘If I die, Mayu will be alone..’

I will be alone and cry a lot.

As a week passes and the barrier disappears, it will become more dangerous..

Then, Mayu will die too..

The moment it occurred to me that the little child might be eaten by a monster..

‘I can't do that..’

I couldn't die like this.

‘I can't let Mayu die, I can't!’

He developed an intense killing intent towards the monster gorilla..

I didn't know what kind of monster I would become, but I wanted to kill that guy even if I had to become a monster..

To make horse oil a little safer.

The moment the monster gorilla's fist flies.

“!!!”

I felt my body stiffen for a moment..

right after that.

Powok!

The head of the monster gorilla, which was still intact even after a grenade was lodged in its body, exploded..

‘this… … what?’

In front of his confused eyes.

[Obtained citizenship.]

A strange notification window appeared.

At the same time.

‘……The power that was running away has returned to its original state.?’

The body that had become invisible as the hiding barrier exploded returned to its original state..
