Korea was in the midst of evacuation due to a monster invasion.
Cold sweat streamed down Gote’s face.
What appeared on the portable TV was none other than a ten-year-old little kid.
He was even wearing a children’s zip-up hoodie, as if he had rushed out. The hood was an animal hood with a penguin face.
And inside that hood, a rabbit T-shirt….
‘Damn, those are Seongjae’s childhood clothes!!’
He must have thrown on anything after hearing the invasion news.
‘You always said you’d never wear kids’ clothes.’
Well, it’d be hard to fight properly in clothes that are slipping off.
No, that wasn’t the important thing right now.
-What did you just say?
At the sight of Igeon caught on camera, Gote’s body trembled.
His appearance was that of a kid who’d just started elementary school. An incredibly cute kid at that….
But Gote, who knew what was inside, had his teeth chattering.
However, the reporters on TV, who had no way of knowing, urgently grabbed Igeon.
-Hey kid, are you lost?
-Where are your mommy and daddy?
-If you bother them it’s over! Shoo shoo! Go away!
Finally, the moment Igeon’s eyebrows twitched.
Gote screamed.
And along with that scream, something terrible happened beyond the TV.
Crunch! Crack! Snap!
-Who’s a brat, you brat!
-Aaack!!!
-You’re the ones in the way, so get lost!
-Aack! The kid’s gone berserk!
Eventually, screams erupted everywhere at the rampage unfolding on TV.
They were surely people watching the same channel.
From screams to the sound of Igeon’s furious voice, the TV was utter chaos.
-Ah, no! Wait! What is this kid!
-Aaack! Stop!!!
In the end, the cameraman seemed to be fleeing desperately, the screen began to shake and finally fell to the ground.
Thud!
And in the screen, where only people’s feet could be seen, all that could be heard were dreadful screams.
Gote covered his face.
“Ha… Igeon-nim… This is live….”
No… live or not, he wasn’t someone who’d listen if you tried to stop him.
‘How on earth do you plan to handle the aftermath… All the faith people had is going to plummet.’
But the people watching the same channel were having a completely different reaction.
“Hey…! What was that just now? What? Did you see that?”
“Yeah! I saw it!”
“Wasn’t he incredibly cute?!”
“Who is he, seriously??”
It was unmistakably a broadcast accident, but the brief glimpse of Igeon got a really positive response.
Of course, Hailey’s response was also positive.
“I-Igeon, penguin clothes… rabbit clothes….”
The only problem was that her reaction was so good she was about to lose her mind.
And around then.
The epicenter of Igeon’s tyranny.
“Uuaah….”
“What is it, that kid…!”
Hugo was sweating profusely.
Right before his eyes were the reporters and cameramen who had been “educated” (?) by Igeon.
And in front of them was a little kid dusting off his hands….
“Ah, you really piss people off.”
“…Geon-ah.”
“If you spout nonsense one more time, I won’t let it slide. For real.”
“Geon-ah….”
“What!!! You bastard!!!”
In the end, at Igeon’s fury, the people nearby trembled.
This place was still focused on evacuating people, as the monster invasion hadn’t fully begun here yet.
The evacuating people’s pupils were shaking.
“H-He just said Hugo-nim is Geon….”
“What?! Then that person is Igeon-nim?”
And whether people were shocked or not, Igeon’s eyes flashed.
Boom!
It was because of a monster as big as a house that had flown in from the sky.
It might have been sent flying here by someone’s attack.
[Kieeek!!]
As the giant praying mantis monster that had fallen got back up, people screamed, and Igeon launched a kick.
Crack!!!
“Kyaaak!”
“Gasp!”
The monster’s shoulder flew off and its dangerous blade-like arm dropped to the ground.
That wasn’t all.
Bam!!!
Igeon, who had jumped high, kicked the monster’s head off as if kicking a soccer ball.
Crunch!
Was it that he didn’t need to use a weapon on something like this?
[Kieeeek!!]
With the tough neckbone ripped out and its head soaring into the sky, the giant monster collapsed.
People’s jaws dropped.
But whether they did or not, Igeon turned his head.
And what he looked toward was the four-way intersection a few blocks up!
“What are you doing! Hurry up and deal with it!”
They must have been the Sungdo who were handling monsters around here.
Maybe that was why.
“You bastards. You can’t even properly handle one pathetic thing like this.”
“!”
Igeon’s eyes flashed and he vanished in an instant.
And at the same time, the four-way intersection.
“Kyaaak!”
At the roar coming from the plaza where Igeon was, the Sungdo who were exterminating monsters stirred.
“What’s that, why is it so noisy over there? It’s not screams of fear….”
At that, one of them said, “Ah,” and recognized it.
“Looks like Hugo Otters came.”
“Ah, now that you mention it, this area is the Singungjwa sacred territory, right?”
They were convinced.
He had probably dealt with a monster that appeared nearby.
“Singungjwa’s Saint, he’s always popular….”
“I-Is he?”
“He’s like a Hollywood actor. Good skills, he’s famous as Igeon’s partner, but his personality is the complete opposite of Igeon, so he’s the type everyone likes.”
“He’s famous among reporters. Though he doesn’t make any money…”
“Money??”
“He refuses interviews, broadcast appearances, invitations, filming, refusal refusal refusal, he’s a stubborn one who hates anything media-related.”
But it was just then.
“Kyaak!!! So cute!”
“……???”
They tilted their heads at the sudden shout.
They had no choice.
“Cute?”
“Hugo Otters isn’t exactly someone you’d call cute…?”
“Kyaak!! Toddle toddle!”
“T-Toddle????”
Just when words that became harder and harder to understand were heard.
Quaaang!!
“!”
A monster with its mouth open crashed down before their eyes.
At that sight, the Sungdo hurriedly raised their weapons.
“Dammit! Attack!!”
“The Baminju-jwa is lending a defense skill! Borrow it!”
“And we’ll take off the head first…”
“You’ll die if you do that.”
“!”
At the sudden voice, the Sungdo’s eyes went wide.
“That’s not how you do it.”
“……!”
A small kid walked up beside the armed Sungdo.
It was Igeon.
Clicking his tongue, he pulled a military dagger from the chest holster.
The dagger, which was black even to the blade, was a knife made by grinding
[Monarch Mix (EX)]
-Creator: Igeon
-Ground the bodies of
Pulling out the knife, Igeon spoke.
“That’s enough, move aside. I’ll handle it.”
Igeon swaggeringly set the blade.
But.
“What’s this, this little kid?”
“A little kid acting all high and mighty?”
“Shorty. Go drink your school milk.”
Snap.
Igeon immediately summoned the Celestial Punishment.
And toward the stupid ones, Smash!
Bam!!!!
“Aaaack!!!”
“Wha-what’s with this kid! Aack!!”
They were mercilessly thrashed by Igeon like being put through a thresher.
Even a monster that attacked after being ignored got caught up and turned into a pulp.
“Cough, hack!”
At the same time, the Sungdo who saw the Celestial Punishment seemed to have lost their minds.
“Wait, Celestial Punishment?!”
“D-Don’t tell me you’re Igeon-nim?!”
Igeon’s face turned demonic.
“You’re only realizing that now!!! You bastards!”
“Aack!”
Even after recognizing him, they were beaten and sent flying.
Thanks to that, those who seemed like they’d have their souls beaten out of them looked wronged instead.
“Igeon-nim! Of course we wouldn’t recognize you when you look like that!”
“That’s right! No, what new hobby did you pick up this time to be dressed like that… Ack!”
“It’s not a hobby!!”
Igeon huffed and shook the blood off his axe.
“…It’s because of that bastard who unleashed monsters on the world.”
All the Sungdo were shocked.
“Is it the monster’s doing?”
“Are you alright? Is it possible for you to turn back to normal?”
“Yeah. I told my Sungdo to get out of my sight for a while, so I’ll be back soon.”
“……???”
They wondered what the connection was, but Igeon clicked his tongue.
“The duration increases every time the number of people who like this appearance increases.”
“……?!!”
“Anyway, it’s fine. That bastard, does he think I’ll play along with his prank?”
But the Sungdo who heard the condition were sweating nervously.
‘Igeon-nim, you’ll never be able to turn back.’
‘You’ll definitely stay like this…’
‘Dammit, so cute….’
And it was then.
“Igeon-nim! It’s dangerous!”
“A giant!”
Igeon, holding the Celestial Punishment, flashed his eyes.
And towards the charging giant monster’s shoulder, he threw his military dagger.
Crack!
The dagger was completely black, as if made of obsidian.
The dagger stuck in its shoulder.
But perhaps it was difficult to deal damage to the house-sized giant with a small knife.
“Igeon-nim!”
The monster was even too fast.
Just as the knife stuck in its shoulder was pulled out and its arm was about to strike Igeon,
“I-Igeon-nim disappeared!”
“No! Up there!”
Little Igeon had teleported and moved onto the monster’s shoulder.
And that was the power of the dagger made by grinding
[Blade of the God of Tenacity]
-A blade imbued with the data of the God of Tenacity, which holds authority.
-
It was one of the four blades that could switch between
And it was that moment.
Igeon, who had warped to the shoulder, used the Celestial Punishment to blow off the giant’s neck.
Bam!!!!
The sight of a tiny child swinging a massive axe was highly impactful.
At the same time, the Sungdo watching had their jaws dropped.
“Igeon-nim… hasn’t he gotten faster?”
“His movements…!”
“More than that, is that a teleport? Wow, as expected of Igeon-nim. I didn’t know you could fight like that. As if a close-range monster wasn’t enough…!”
“Isn’t it just because his height can’t reach…?”
But even after hearing that, Igeon didn’t get angry.
[The confusion duration is ending.]
[In 1 minute, your appearance will return to normal.]
Igeon smirked, feeling it was worth chasing his Sungdo away.
“Anyway, with this, liberation….”
But then.
[The Baminju’s unusual appearance is confusing the citizens.]
“Kyaak! Igeon-nim!!”
“Hey! Where are you looking leaving your boyfriend behind!”
“I don’t care! I can’t hear you!”
[Immense confusion continues.]
[Confusion duration increased by 1 minute.]
[Confusion duration increased by 1 minute.]
……
[Confusion duration increased by 1 minute.]
[The time for your body to return to normal has increased to a total of 1,292,389 hours.]
“……???!!”
Igeon seemed to have a mental breakdown.
He wondered what had happened, but soon realized the reason.
“Can you see! The child who suddenly appeared and dealt with the monsters was none other than Igeon!”
“Right now on this channel! Igeon-nim’s appearance live….”
“Ah, damn, seriously!!!”
Furious, Igeon threw stones and completely smashed their cameras to pieces.
“Aaaack!!”
“The cameras!!!”
Well, there was a good side thanks to those guys promoting him.
[Baminju-jwa’s faith increases.]
[Baminju-jwa’s faith increases.]
[Baminju-jwa’s faith increases.]
[Baminju-jwa’s power strengthens.]
At the same time, a voice as if mocking him was heard.
[You shall never return from that form for the rest of your life.]
“……!”
The voice came from the sky.
[Enjoy it. How fitting a foolish appearance for an undergrown runt like you.]
Igeon’s eyes glared.
And it was that moment.
Rumble!
“!!!”
A warp gate opened in the sky, and a monster resembling a Red Eye, but different, appeared.
“Aaaack!!!”
“It’s a Red Eye!”
“No!! The color is different!”
“That’s the one that was in the U.S.!”
“……!!”
The one that had wrecked the place where Stephen was had appeared.
That wasn’t all.
“Aack!! Wh-What is that!”
“Another one appeared!”
More creatures similar to the Red Eye appeared.
They were the
The three brothers of the Red Eye.
And the last one.
[Kieeeeek!!!]
Even the Red Eye of the
