Episode 2
-Chwiiik.
Every time a toad spews opaque saliva, it rolls around to avoid it.
Pot!
This is the fifth time.
Even as I was frantically avoiding it, a deep question mark appeared in my head.
‘Am I avoiding it properly?’
Considering the normally weak state of my body, the fact that I can roll over like this now is amazing in itself.
Despite its pulsating body, its limbs are quite light.
But no matter how fast you got, you still managed to dodge those damn needles all five times?
Its saliva flew as fast as an arrow and as tenaciously as a poisonous snake.
No matter how much lighter your body becomes, is it possible to avoid it altogether?
-Chwiiik!
Instead of hitting the monster, they are busy running away.
I felt anxious, but I kept thinking about it.
If I couldn’t avoid everything, why am I okay?
Didn’t the people who died before die instantly even if they only touched a very small amount?
-Chwiiik.
fault!
When I rolled over for the sixth time, I remembered the test sheet I received at the hospital today.
‘MMPT (Multi Monster Poison Test)… … !!’
okay.
They said that I was clearly poisoned by seven poisons.
No matter what poison that guy has, nothing may change just because he is hit with a new poison.
So I came to the following conclusion:
I already have that guy’s poison in my body.
If you’re already addicted, what’s the big deal if you get hit once or twice?
-Chwiiik.
When the drugged toad spat out its seventh saliva, I stopped moving.
There was a reason I wanted to confirm the hypothesis I had just made, and I also didn’t want to roll on the ground because of that f*cking bastard anymore.
Sigh.
I know from experience that its saliva only targets the face.
I covered my face with my palm, and as expected, the saliva flew straight into my face.
widely!
Hit.
My palms are sticky with an unpleasant liquid.
But that’s it.
Unlike other people who were bleeding through holes, there was no change in my body.
-Kiruruk?
The toad monster’s pupils dilate greatly.
Although it doesn’t appear to be very intelligent, its instincts are awakening.
The man in front of me is somehow different from other humans.
“As expected.”
I looked at my palm with a strange smile and muttered lowly.
The reason the ugly toad in front of you is so threatening is because it is a poison type.
Most of the monsters that come out through the gate are large and powerful, but the size of the poison type varies.
Since it wasn’t killing humans with physical force anyway, size doesn’t matter.
But I just realized something.
I was a human free from the monster’s poison.
‘then… … .’
What if we exclude the danger of poisoning small poison monsters?
That meant that it was a threat worse than that of a mere dog.
“Was it fun? “You damn son of a bitch.”
Jeonse reversal.
I grab the cane next to the fallen old man.
-Kiruruk?
The saliva is fast, but the body itself is not fast.
I picked up my cane and walked towards the toad.
The toad nervously spits out saliva at the sight.
-Chwiiik!
widely!
But again, it was useless.
The saliva that had clogged my palm flew into the air with a single wave of my hand.
Do monsters have facial expressions?
The toad appears visibly upset.
“You die today, and I die today.”
He sharply strikes down the cane raised with both hands.
Kang!!!!!

-Key look!!
The toad, confused because the poison didn’t work, gets hit on the head.
The guy who stumbled immediately fell backwards and died.
The poison monster that had killed dozens of people was vainly defeated with just one stick.
“Whoa… … .”
I feel mildly dizzy, perhaps because I exerted so much effort.
The tip of my nose was already filled with the smell of poison and human blood.
-Key look?
– Kiruruk.
The toads who confirmed the death of their compatriots begin to gather one after another.
It seemed like he recognized me as the one to be killed first.
“one… … two… … three… … .”
I began to see the number of objects slowly gathering.
The way they approached with their tongues sticking out was quite ferocious, but they were no longer a threat to me.
Anyway, my life is limited, so it’s okay to do a sword dance before I die, right?
I looked at the approaching monsters and tightened my grip on the staff.
* * *
earth!!!!
Kyaang!!!!
“omg… … omg… … .”
I wiped the sweat with the back of my hand, soothing my breath that had built up to the tip of my chin.
The poison-type small monster was much weaker than I thought.
Is this what happens when a novice warrior catches a slime?
All I had to do was whack the toads with my stick.
However, the number was greater than expected.
While I was slaying dozens of monsters, I had to shower with their secretions.
I don’t know, but even for hunters, this amount would be dangerous.
But it had no particular effect on me other than feeling dirty.
“Phew.”
I take a deep breath and take out my phone.
However, the signal is not captured, perhaps due to the core energy around the gate.
‘My sister will be worried when she hears the news… … I need to get out of here quickly and contact you.’
As usual, it was the peak time for work.
But isn’t the place where the gate opens near the hospital?
My older sister would have been the kind of person who would have run away from work and rushed here.
I don’t know where the boundary line is, but I just kept walking.
Hoping that the monster he killed would be the last.
Wooooow.
But I realized it too late.
A pitch-black gate floating overhead.
The fact that it wasn’t closed meant that there were still monsters left in this area.
“shit!!”
He cursed and ran towards the house.
The house was very close to the factory my older sister worked at, and it was only one stop away from the hospital, so it was worth running to.
Because of my weak body, I only used the bus.
I was in the middle of running home when I suddenly had to stop.
“shit… … .”
Why are ominous premonitions always wrong?
For some reason, it seemed like that, but my older sister was running towards me.
“Haeseon?!”
Seeing that he was covered in tears, he must have cried quite a bit.
Since it was on the outskirts of the gate, everyone around us seemed to have run away, so it was just me and my sister.
When I see my older sister walking around the empty neighborhood alone, I feel more angry than happy.
Usually, when a gate is created, hunters are waiting in advance, and a safe line is formed in the area to restrict traffic.
There are no restrictions on passage.
What on earth are the association guys doing?
“f*ck. “I’m not doing anything right.”
I cursed, but at the same time, I let out a sigh of relief.
It’s fortunate that we met in the middle, what would have happened if we had met a monster in the middle… … .
thud!!!!!!!
at that time.
As if to mock my thoughts, I heard loud footsteps.
I turned my head towards the sound.
-Kerrr!!
Instead of the small individuals I had encountered so far, it was a huge black toad that appeared to be two stories tall.
The thing was leaping towards my sister with a thud.
“ah… … !!”
My older sister’s face, which was originally white and pale, became dull.
So, without any fear, I asked where this place was!
I screamed at the top of my lungs to my sister.
“Run away!!”
However, my sister, consumed by fear, froze in place, and as she collided with the toad’s massive body, she was thrown away as if she had been hit by a truck.
bang!!
“sister!!”
Sparks fly from the eyes.
I ran to where the black toad was and swung my staff with all my might.
Pow!
A rather dull sound was heard from the toad’s leg, but the toad did not move.
Actually, it was natural.
The size of the monsters killed so far was about 5 to 70 cm at most, but the black toad was several times larger than that.
Unlike the shiny skin of other guys, this guy’s skin was as hard as concrete, and his limbs were long and thick like logs.
The small guys were able to be subdued using only human physical power, but now they are no match for that physical power.
-Crrrrr!!
The toad let out a cry as if mocking it, and then swung its thick arms.
bang!!!
It flies several meters and turns around.
“Ugh… … !!”
I feel like my whole body is crumbling.
I came to my senses from the terrible pain, but gradually my consciousness began to fade.
In my blurred vision, I see a black toad.
As if he was trying to confirm the kill, the guy was slowly moving towards his sister.
I feel like my heart will explode.
It feels like the blood is flowing backwards.
Those guys.
Not only has he ruined my life, he is trying to kill my sister.
He was a person who devoted his entire life to taking care of his younger brother.
That person died because of the monster and because of me.
“Aaaah!!”
Ttuduk.
I heard something breaking in my head.
At the same time, all the boiling heat burst out of the body.
Hwaaaaaaa!
The energy was so ferocious that it made the black toad look away.
-Keruk!!!!
Dark red snout from the body rises into the sky.
Gas, as dark red as blood, clumps up in the sky and soon begins to take shape.
-Keruk!!
The toad was so large that a shadow came out and covered everything around the toad.
Sharp, dark red scales covered all over the body.
A movement that is gentle but somehow chills the liver.
That guy is big enough to make a toad look cute,
It had the shape of a snake.
Shhh, profit.
A red poisonous snake floating slowly, looking down from the sky.
The guy’s burning red eyes turn towards the toad.
-Keruk!!
The toad tried to let out a cry, but there was a fear inside it that it could not hide.
Herbivores’ fundamental fear of facing apex predators.
It felt like that.
How did he demonstrate such formidable ability?
I don’t know why, but it didn’t matter.
I muttered softly with a different expression on my face, as if I was possessed by something.
“Kill me.”
Squirt!
As if responding to a command, the red viper begins to descend at a frightening pace.
bang!!!!!
The red viper descended head first and collided with the toad’s entire body.
The power was so great that the ground shook as if there had been an earthquake just from the impact.
“… … !!”
A large hole appeared under the ground where the toad was standing.
It looked like a meteorite had fallen from the sky.
The large toad, which boasted a large body, disappeared without a trace.
“Huh… … !!”
A tremendous feeling of exhaustion attacks my entire body.
Even when my symptoms were bad due to the poison, I didn’t feel like this.
If there is a bed in front of me, I feel like diving right into it.
But I couldn’t do that now.
“sister!!”
I can’t bear to touch it because of the poison on my clothes, so I look around to see what’s going on.
“Umm… … .”
Her pretty face was contorted in pain, but fortunately she did not completely lose consciousness.
Since it is some distance away from the gate, the radio waves may be able to pass through.
I quickly took out my cell phone and called 119.
No, I was going to do it.
Thump!! Thump!!
“… … !!!”
at that time.
I had to feel the greatest despair of my life.
This was because a large black toad, one head larger than the monster I had just defeated, was approaching.
-Kirrr… … .
That wasn’t all.
As if the black toad was the leader, all the large and small toads remaining in the area were gathering in this direction.
“… … It’s sick… … .”
It would be nice to summon the Red Viper once again, but I’m not sure how I summoned him.
Rather than intentionally calling, it would be more appropriate to say that he jumped out on his own.
Crucially, right now I didn’t even have the strength left to pick up a wand, let alone summon him back.
f*ck.
That’s it.
As soon as I barely get up on one knee, I feel nauseous.
“Wow.”
Dark red blood similar to the color of the red viper summoned a moment ago.
Did he sense the final moment?
My sister, who had fallen, raised her hand and tried to grab my collar.
“Haeseon… … ah.”
I slowly moved my body to avoid my sister’s hand.
“… … Bury poison. sister.”
Thump thump thump.
It will be over soon, so does it matter?
The face of the large toad seems to be asking that question.
The size of the one that came so close was truly gigantic.
So much so that you have to crane your neck all the way up to see the head.
Big and small guys come out around the large toad and surround my sister.
Looking at the things they are doing, it feels like they are being publicly executed.
I lifted the cane with all my strength.
widely!
-Kiruk.
I knew it would happen, but it didn’t do any damage to the toad.
The large toad shakes its shoulders as if it is ridiculous.
And then, as if catching a fly, he swings his pillar-sized arm downward.
f*ck.
That’s it.
Scenes from the past pass by slowly like a flash in my head.
bang!!!!!!
If the shock is so strong, I can’t even feel it.
Before I could even make a proper counterattack, stars flew out in front of my eyes.
shit.
This is the last time.
It was such a shitty life.
however.
-Crack!!
A cry full of anger can be clearly heard.
Was the afterlife this real?
I slightly open my closed eyes.
weird.
I thought he was dead, but he was still alive.
The boiling heat of my whole body confirmed that I was still alive.
“how… … ?”
When I opened my closed eyes a little wider, I heard an unfamiliar female voice in front of me.
“You can’t use your strength like that. puppy.”
