I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul 178

Episode 179

There was no need to ask why.

This is because Moa Son also immediately knew what the ‘big deal’ was.

The primary dimensional barrier has been destroyed.

The predator ‘Ionickel’ enters the current dimension.

A secondary barrier is activated.

Calculate the time remaining until the barrier is destroyed.

Calculation result:

Beyond the notification messages that appeared one after the other for 60 hours, a vicious thing appeared.

The dawn is an overwhelming shadow that covers the sky, swallowing up the dawn.

Even though it is clear that it is higher than the clouds, it feels ridiculously huge.

“That’s the predator, Ionickel…”

A voice like a moan came out of Son Moa’s mouth.

It was the first time I confirmed with the naked eye the identity of a predator that I had only known existed. It was on the

ground, scattering black energy and red light. The appearance of pure aggression towards the world was befitting of a disaster that was about to end the world.

“Wow, did I rest for too long? Everyone is okay… What is that?”

Ban Seo-jin, who suddenly appeared and spoke to me, wondering how I knew, was shocked. Not

only Son Mo-ah but even Seo Ji-han were speechless at the presence of a predator, but only Ban Seo-jin seemed to be completely unaffected by the sight in front of him.

“Predator Ionicel . “He is the culprit of this whole situation.”

As Son Mo-ah calmly introduced, Ban Seo-jin cast his eyes here and there and nodded as if he belatedly recognized the message in front of him. “Really? Oh, here’s the message. I was only going to

sleep for an hour, but when I opened my eyes, a lot of time had already passed. “I came here in a hurry. It’s crazy.”

Ban Seo-jin grumbled in a light manner as usual, then glanced back at Sonmoa’s stiff face. He

then looked back at the predator high in the sky.

“Hmm.”

Ban Seo-jin, who was thinking about something for a moment, narrowed his eyes and nodded,

“It looks just like an asshole with teeth.”

“yes?”

Son Mo-ah was startled by the cool sentiment that dispelled the gloomy atmosphere.

However, she soon realized that it was her intention to relieve tension and smiled without realizing it.

Ban Seo-jin lightly winked at Son Mo-a, clasped her hands, and stretched straight up. “ Now

that I’ve had a good rest, should I try working again? It’s still a mess, isn’t it?”

“But most of the urgent monsters have been dealt with. There don’t seem to be any more boss monsters in Seoul.”

“okay? Then it’s my turn to step forward. Boss monsters are a bit difficult, but the rest are my food.”

Unlike their relaxed atmosphere, the feelings of the civilians watching this situation were completely different.

People who carefully crawled out from under the rubble of the collapsed building were trembling as they looked up at the sky.

“What is that?”

“Is that a monster too?”

“What is that…”

A faint pity flashed across Son Moa’s face as she belatedly noticed them in fear.

Since they knew everything about the situation, they were able to calm down quickly, but for these people who knew nothing, it was a natural disaster that suddenly struck.

Son Moa His lips hardened with determination.

Then, with a gentle smile, he approached the trembling person and opened the gate.

“Go inside and rest. Once the safe area is confirmed, I will send you there.”

Despite the soft voice, the fear of the civilians did not go away easily.

In a situation where there was nothing but anxiety, such as a suddenly destroyed living space and a monster appearing in the sky, it was not easy to trust someone you met for the first time.

“It will be okay.”

Even though she herself was feeling anxious as she said this, she tried to speak calmly. She

couldn’t drive away her anxiety to people who had nothing to trust. She

tried to make them feel at least a little bit at ease, but the reality was. It wasn’t easy.

“It’s all you…”

The civilian, who was startled by Son Mo-ah’s approach, glared at her with a wary expression.

As Seo Ji-han watched, his patience reached its limit and he thought he should just open the gate and throw them in, but the civilian opened his mouth in blatant aggression.

“You guys, right? “Isn’t it because of you, Seo Ji-han, that this happened?”

“Hey, what are you saying?”

“You saw it too! Those news. “These people took the initiative!”

Son Mo-ah became puzzled by the bickering reactions of the civilians.

As we were so busy trying to kill monsters and save people until dawn, every minute was a waste, so there was no time to check what the media was saying.

So I didn’t have time to figure out how the evaluations of them were divided.

But just the short conversation they had now was enough to get an idea of how the situation was going.

I felt like all the strength was draining from my already exhausted body, but with a predator hovering over my head, such a problem was just one of those trivial things.

“These people brought all the monsters. And it’s not funny to pretend to be nice while saving someone.”

The atmosphere of the place froze for a moment at his sarcastic remark.

However, another person next to him stepped forward instead and cautiously opened his mouth.

“I’m sorry. He’s very excited. I saw all that fighting. “Thank you for saving me.”

He was a little too observant.

In the faint fear that appeared in their eyes, Moa Son realized that in their eyes, they were just scary beings, no different from monsters or themselves.

“okay! “What are you saying?”

Son Mo-ah, whose heart was bitter but trying to pull herself together, heard a sharp cry.

“If you have eyes, you should see properly. You’ve seen these people fight. “If the monster was brought here to kill everyone, why would we fight?”

A civilian with his eyebrows bent in an inverted shape stood still and then stepped out as if he couldn’t stand it.

“But on the news…”

“You should judge by what you see with your own eyes rather than what other people say on their phones. How pathetic! Look at that face, does that person look like someone who would harm others?”

At those words, the audience’s eyes focused on Son Mo-a’s face.

While Son Mo-a was taken aback by the sudden focus, they each nodded their heads in understanding.

“There’s no way a person who looks that nice would do that.”

“Oh my, the soup is so sticky. How much trouble did you put in? How can you say that to this face?”

“That’s right. Can’t you apologize right away?”

As people came forward and said one thing at a time, the person who first shot him started to panic. As he

looked at Son Mo-ah’s face closely, the venom gradually drained from his face.

Son Mo-ah’s eyes were gently drooped and his pupils seemed to be crying at his own criticism. Wow, seeing the monster’s face stained with bodily fluids made me blush and regret saying

something rude. That’s right. There’s no way a person who looks so good could do something bad.

There must have been some kind of misunderstanding.

This quick change of emotions is something I put my hands together . The effect of the Saint’s Dignity skill had a great impact.

Whenever Son Mo-ah rescued civilians, he saw the effect of this skill knowingly or unknowingly.

“I’m sorry. I…”

“No, you can do that. ”

When Son Mo-ah responded gently to the apology he hesitantly offered, his guilt doubled.

Son Moa did not just answer, but lightly encouraged them.

“I’m fine, so don’t worry too much. “If it’s hard, you can do that.”

Sonmoa’s consolation actually made his heart heavier.

Son Mo-ah could roughly understand his feelings from his awkwardly stiff expression, but the situation was too urgent to just talk like this.

“Then could you please go through the gate here? “I have to go rescue somewhere else.”

“Oh of course! thank you!”

“Thank you, thank you! Thanks to you, I survived.”

“thank you so much.”

The initial wary atmosphere disappeared, and people rushed into the gate, each giving their thanks.

After waiting until they had all evacuated, Son Mo-ah closed the gate, and Ban Seo-jin lightly patted her shoulder in admiration. “Wow, you’re putting up with

this.” . If it were me, I would just snap those!”

Ban Seo-jin clicked his teeth and pretended to bite them, as if he were a dog.

Son Mo-ah laughed lightly and shook his head.

“What could those people have done in this situation? I prayed that they could hide in the gaps between buildings like that and save their lives.” “He must have been desperately calling here and there and waiting for news that a rescue team was coming.”

Son Mo-ah added with a bitter expression,

“As an inexplicable disaster had struck and I didn’t know what was going on, I would have needed any information. Even if I heard on the news that God had come back alive, I would have been so desperate that I would have immediately believed it.”

Son Mo-ah, who was in a similar situation as them until not long ago, understood the position of civilians.

In fact, it is not that he was not disappointed in the reality of receiving such attention and cold criticism even after working hard to the best of his ability, but what is really important now is not to complain or make mistakes. It wasn’t an argument.

The world was going to be destroyed in 60 hours, so what was the point of such a petty argument?

“Are there any more boss monsters inside the Eundamah Sanctuary barrier?”

There was no time to rest.

Although I hesitated because a predator appeared above my head, what I had to do now did not change.

I had to sort out this mess as quickly as possible and prepare the final hall.

Son Mo-a’s words made Yoo Eun-dam feel helpless . A voice responded,

“Yes. There are none. With what you just dealt with, the area inside the Sanctuary barrier is truly over. There are some regular monsters left, but other hunters can deal with them. There won’t be any more monsters replenished than this.”

“Where are you now? Are you taking care of regular monsters together?”

“No, I moved after hearing that there was a boss monster near the sanctuary barrier. “I’m looking for it… Oh, there it is!”

Even while listening to Yoo Eun-dam’s voice, Son Mo-ah’s vision flickered.

My eyes were spinning from dizziness.

“Send me the location too.”

Behind Son Mo-ah, who was answering helplessly, Seo Ji-han was expressing regret by silently opening and closing his lips.

“I’ll send a picture to your phone. “Everything here is broken and I don’t even know where it is.”

With those words, Son Mo-ah’s cell phone vibrated briefly.

After confirming the location, Son Mo-ah took out a scroll and turned to Ban Seo-jin and Seo Ji-han.

Seo Ji-han pulled Moa’s trembling fingertips and held them tightly, finally uttering the words he had been holding back.

“Wouldn’t it be okay to rest now? Everything inside Seoul has been resolved. “The only thing left is me…”

“Seo Ji-han is also very tired.”
