There were a lot of people moving around at Yongsan Station. The infected had shown up there, and things would get serious if they infected other people.
Junhyuk parked his car around a corner of the station. The army had cordoned off the entire area, so it was not easy to get close. The army was controlling everyone who went in or out, and it wanted to prevent even a single person from escaping its grasp.
Inside his car, he had summoned all of his equipment. He did not need the entire Pure Golden Knight set, however, so he simply wore the cloak. He sighed.
“I should dye it,” he thought and murmured to himself before teleporting.
Junhyuk had been aiming for a particular place, a spa nearby, and he teleported there. When he appeared on the roof, he realized that there were people already there.
A soldier was aiming his rifle toward Yongsan Station, but when Junhyuk appeared, the soldier started heading toward him. Junhyuk could tell he wasn’t an ordinary soldier.
Junhyuk looked at the soldier and looked far away toward Yongsan Station. All entrances to the station had already been sealed, so he connected to Elise through his Bluetooth and said calmly, “Go over police and military communication and see if there is an escape route.”
“Will do.”
He gathered his breath. Junhyuk had upgraded his equipment, but the enemies had displayed powers beyond what he had thought were limitations. A warp power? He had heard they had warped through a dimensional tear. If warping was possible, his enemies could have other powers that broke the limits.
“I’m going in,” he said and started running. The soldier was preparing to shoot, and all of the other soldiers saw him as he was about to jump.
Junhyuk used his jumping power and flew toward the station, and the eyes of all of the soldiers followed him. When he landed at the station’s parking lot, he looked around and saw that there were soldiers there as well. The muzzles of their guns aimed at him, and he teleported inside the building. When he saw nobody inside the large station, he frowned.
The military had already moved everyone to the first floor, and they were searching the other floors.
“Are they in hiding?”
If they were hiding, he wouldn’t be able to find them. Junhyuk needed to know if they were novices or, in fact, experts, but there was no way for him to know without being able to see them.
He sighed lightly and walked. While walking, he heard footsteps from the stairs. All escalators had stopped, so he could hear them walking, and it sounded like military boots.
Junhyuk knew he couldn’t let his guard down against the soldiers, so he tiptoed out of that area. Then, he heard Elise’s voice from his Bluetooth.
“All civilians are on the first floor, but the military can’t find the infected.”
Junhyuk walked inside a restroom and asked, “I thought the infected could only activate powers after the bits of poring were removed from them.”
“I can’t be sure this time.”
“Why?”
Elise was silent for a moment before saying, “The infection took place in the US because they were running an experiment with poring infections to activate people’s powers. These are the subjects that escaped from the lab.”
Junhyuk scowled.
“Don’t you know how dangerous that is?!”
“I had nothing to do with it.”
He thought of a name all of a sudden and said, “Charles Rockefeller.”
“He is the one responsible for the entire experiment.”
Junhyuk gritted his teeth. Of course, Charles would be the one responsible for a dangerous experiment like this.
“Why did they come to South Korea?”
“I’m not sure about that either.”
Junhyuk nodded and said, “I’m heading to the first floor.”
Junhyuk heard the sound of military boots moving, and he quickly headed away from the footsteps. He moved without making a noise and walked toward the first floor, where people were.
Once he got there, he saw about three hundred people gathered on the floor. The soldiers around them were wearing hazmat suits and carrying rifles.
Junhyuk looked through the three hundred people on the floor. The infected should be there. They probably wanted to infect others, and that was the perfect place to do it. Because they can’t hide green eyes, the infected should have something covering their eyes.
As he looked at the people, Junhyuk saw that they were all scared, but a few of their had their heads raised. As he watched, he frowned slightly.
“How many people did they experiment on for there to be three experts?!”
Junhyuk’s defense was outstanding now, but the enemies might have some basic powers that he couldn’t imagine, which meant that they could be strong even without any items. He was nervous, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Junhyuk teleported next to the three, who responded to his movement, and touched them all and teleported away.
They all reappeared on the roof of the station’s parking lot. As they got there, Junhyuk distanced himself from them and unsheathed his swords.
They responded right away. One of them opened his mouth, and a green liquid shot out from it. Junhyuk thought of Gongon’s breath and raised the force field around himself. The expert’s breath covered it.
Junhyuk took a second to analyze them and saw that they did not look like people anymore. Their completely green eyes lacked reason, so he didn’t worry about it anymore.
“You are no longer humans, so there’s no reason for me to let you live.”
They could infect others, and he was not backing down. Junhyuk ran toward them, and the dark-haired woman extended her hands toward him. He scoffed at it. With his force field, nothing would be able to harm him for the next ten seconds. That was something he had learned while fighting heroes.
The other two also attacked him. One had green fingernails that looked like claws, and the other rushed toward him, at least the attacked looked like a rush.
Junhyuk ran toward them, and the dark-haired woman’s hands shone bright, and Junhyuk realized that his force field had already disappeared.
“What?!”
He didn’t know what had happened, but the rushing enemy slammed against him at that moment.
Boom!
He is thrown off to a wall and smashed through it. The rushing power had also stunned him.
“A push and a stun?!”
It was a high-ranking rush, and Junhyuk gritted his teeth as the other walked toward him and stabbed him with his claw-like nails. As the nails touched him, an explosion went off.
Boom!
Junhyuk was thrown off once more and rolled on the ground. The two attacks had taken 35 percent of his health, and Junhyuk knew he couldn’t just ignore them. Moreover, he was most curious about the woman who had the power to dispel his force field.
He had heard about her from Elise, that she was responsible for the warp.
He knew they had powers that surpassed what he had imagined, but the ramifications of that were hard to believe.
“I can’t let you live when you have powers like those.”
He raised his sword, but they were out of the range of his Spatial Slash.
“Stop right there!”
Junhyuk had already used his teleportation, so he ran toward them, and the one with the claw-like nails ran toward him. When he saw the nails approaching him, he scoffed and triggered acceleration.
There were no restraints against it on Earth like at the Dimensional Battlefield.
By using acceleration, he closed in, cut the man’s arm, and stabbed him on the neck. Meanwhile, a light blue shockwave extended from the impact and froze the other man, who had been running toward him. It was over for the man who had used the breath.
The man tried to punch Junhyuk, but he dodged it and stabbed him with the Blood Rune Sword. Junhyuk felt his health is recovering, and he triggered acceleration again.
If the woman used her warping ability, he wouldn’t be able to find her again, so he sped up. The woman looked at him and closed her eyes. She was within the range of the Spatial Slash, so he used it on her. The slash entered her chest, her eyes widened and she screamed.
His momentum stopped him right in front of her, and he sighed deeply.
“Whew!”
He had gotten to her in the nick of time.
Junhyuk looked back.
“Tsc!”
A person was getting up. Junhyuk thought he had killed him, but his health was at a hundred.
“You are not dead?”
Junhyuk ran toward him. It was the man who had stabbed him with his claw-like fingernails.
“Is that just like Kaljacque’s ultimate?”
Reviving was possible. It was a power, and it was one that went well beyond what Junhyuk had thought possible.
Junhyuk closed in quickly. He had already used his acceleration, but he swung his swords at the man, who blocked them with his nails.
The man slashed at Junhyuk, who leaned his head back to block. He dodged the slash by a hair’s breadth and countered by slashing the man’s thigh. The man’s speed was debuffed from the slash, and Junhyuk stabbed him in the heart. The one hundred health dropped to zero.
Junhyuk looked at the fallen man and murmured, “That was dangerous.”
He knew he couldn’t leave the bodies there, so he put them all his Spatial Bag. He has put two inside the bag when soldiers appeared. They were aiming at him, and he sighed and said on the Bluetooth, “Elise, I got all three of them. If I’m going to carry these out, these soldiers can’t interfere.”
Soldiers closed in on him and aimed their rifles at him.
“Drop your swords and put your hands up!”
He didn’t want to kill innocent people, and as he stared at them, he heard Elise’s voice.
“Just wait a minute.”
He simply stared at them without putting his swords down, and the number of soldiers kept on increasing.
He could escape that place easily, but he waited. Then, a major came up from behind them and shouted, “Put your rifles down!”
The soldiers followed the order, and the major walked up to him and asked, “I got a message from above. You killed the infected, is that true?”
Only the woman’s body remained on the floor. Instead of answering, Junhyuk simply nodded. “The quarantine team is coming here. Do you want to come with us?”
As Junhyuk shook his head, Elise spoke up nervously in his ear, “There’s a dimensional tear appearing in your location. What happened to that woman?”
He turned to her slowly and answered, “I killed her.”
However, as he turned, he was shocked into silence. The woman’s body was in the air, and her chest was moving.
“A dimensional tear?”
The tear wasn’t appearing in the air, but within the woman’s body, and Junhyuk knew that was something he had never seen before.
He ran toward the dead woman and shouted, “Move out!”
