Chapter 97 Death Doll History Shin Eun-hyuk (6)

Both Eleanor and Kare were unable to remove their eyes from the unknown man who suddenly appeared to save them. Kang Shin-hyuk was trying his best to avoid their gaze.

“Thank you.”

“Thank you!” Eleanor politely bowed her head and thanked him. Karen followed her lead and did the same, with a noble dignity that clashed with how she usually acted. Kang Shin-hyuk turned away, nodding his head without a sound.

“Oh, wait a minute… Eleanor! We have to go, this is your fault!”

“Hm?”

“Let’s go, we have to get to safety!”

“Wait, why are you mad?” Instead of investigating him further, Karen ground her teeth and turned around upon realizing the situation. Kang Shin-hyuk let out a sigh, letting them leave. They were strong enough that he didn’t need to worry about them now that they had defeated the group trying to capture them. He decided to push on, receiving a whisper from Shin Eunah.

-Eunah’s whisper: Now, I know what their main target was.

-What can I do to help?

-Eunah’s whisper: It’s already under control. The enemies seem to be planning on retreating soon, so…

-So?

-Eunah’s whisper: There’s one more guy we need to beat before then.

As expected, Shin Eunah, in her Thunder Empress mode, had no appreciation for the enemy. With a smile, Kang Shin-hyuk hit the floor running with a golden web fluttering behind him.

“Quick!”

“Catch him… what?!” Three people who tried to catch him from a side corridor were tangled up in his spider web. He used his spiritual power to shock them into submission as he kept running. He could feel his movements becoming more natural with his weapons. With Dragon’s Fan Dance helping him accumulate experience with the weapon, he was beginning to get a handle on it. He had a smile on his lips as he readjusted his gloves.

“Huh?” At that moment, something flew in towards the back of his neck. He immediately turned, swinging five strands of the lightning web together. They unified into one strand, blocking what flew out to strike him, which was a problem.

-An irregular gate is occurring! Member, be careful!

What the web had cut was a black dodecahedron-shaped crystal. It had been cut neatly in half, and now thick dark energy was gradually spreading into the air around it, forming a gate.

-A+ class irregular gate [Iron Stormer Hornet’s Honeycomb] has been released.

Kang Shin-hyuk jumped back and immediately whispered to Shin Eunah and Claire. He utilized the group message feature that allowed messages to be sent to multiple people at once.

-An irregular emissive gate just occurred! I think it’s the same trick as before.

-Eunah’s whisper: There too?

-Bartender’s whisper: Just how many gates are these crazy assholes going to create?!

It seemed that there wasn’t only one gate to deal with. The situation was turning into a real mess. Even with Shin Eunah, there was no sign of the turmoil subsiding.

-Is it Jormungand?

-Eunah’s whisper: No, probably not. They don’t move so clumsily. It’s probably an organization connected to Jormungand.

-Bartender’s whisper: Is the irregular gate generator such an easy thing to handle?

Maybe the technology wasn’t perfect yet, so they deliberately gave prototypes to these guys. They must not have been able to create such objects at will, however. Otherwise, the governments of each country would’ve already collapsed.

-You’ve taken lower strength, agility, and stamina potions. For 30 minutes, each status will increase by one level.

In preparation for the emergency about to happen, Kang Shin-hyuk purchased and drank three status-boosting potions from the Hero Universe.

‘With this, my strength and stamina are A+ rank. My agility is S-rank thanks to the Venom Princess Soul.’ His spiritual power was also A+ rank, and his regeneration was B+. Considering his abilities, he was easily a top-level A+ rank superhuman. Unfortunately, however, the gate in front of him was A+ rank, as well.

-Eunah’s whisper: Hold on, I’ll be there as soon as I can.

-It’s okay, I think I’ll manage it somehow.

Kang Shin-hyuk took in a deep breath and extended his hands forward. The gate was increasing in size, and now he could hear a slight buzzing sound.

“Believe in yourself…!” Kang Shin-hyuk procured another potion. It was an intermediate spiritual recovery potion, one he could now purchase than when he unlocked the second liberation of his past life. He opened the lid and drank it, manipulating the Venom Princess Soul on his right hand to shoot out spider webs around the gate. Soon the gate was surrounded by dozens of webs, shining translucent around it. He kept infusing spiritual power into the Venom Princess Soul as he fired out webs and drank potions to keep it going. By the time his work was done, the Iron Stormer Hornets were rushing out of the gates.

-Kiiii!

It was immediately caught in the spider web, letting out a terrible scream as it was killed by the toxic webs. The webs sagged slightly under its weight, but the floor and walls supporting the web stood strong. They had been reinforced by the magic Shin Eunah had cast earlier to keep the building intact.

-You’ve suppressed a monster that is harmful to the order of things. Bonus based on membership level! You received 20,000HP! As a VIP bonus, you receive an additional HP bonus equivalent to 50% of the reward, for a total of 30,000HP!

-The [Iron Stormer Hornet’s Stinger] has been retrieved to the inventory by the automatic routing function.

“Alright, it works.” Kang Shin-hyuk mumbled happily at the sight of the huge wasp laying lifeless in the webs. Since it was an A+ class irregular gate, he was worried the durability of the monster would exceed his spider web, but it worked out. It was probably thanks to the venomous nature of the web that was increased by its special abilities. No doubt, the 10% bonus to equipment stored in the equipment slots he unlocked through the VIP roulette had increased it further, as well as the bonus 30% from his login bonus. With all of that, it would be weird if he couldn’t kill the enemy.

-Kiiii!

-Kyaaak!

-You’ve suppressed a monster that is harmful to the order of things. Bonus based on membership level! You received 21,000HP! As a VIP bonus, you receive an additional HP bonus equivalent to 50% of the reward, for a total of 31,500HP!

-You’ve suppressed a monster that is harmful to the order of things. Bonus based on membership level! You received 20,000HP….

Wasps flowed out of the gate only to be ripped apart by the spider webs, unaware of the fate that awaited them. As he watched, Kang Shin-hyuk could feel something approaching from behind him and fired off a lightning web.

“Kuhhh!” The thread pierced the abdomen of the man who was trying to ambush him from behind. Kang Shin-hyuk clicked his tongue and tied him up in a spider web. He probably had seriously injured the man, and he wondered if he might die from the shock of the web.

‘Was that too severe…? No, they’re the ones who released these gates around civilians…’ Kang Shin-hyuk felt no pleasure in killing, and he had no intention of killing people if he could help it. However, after seeing them make these gates, his hands naturally moved on their own. He wondered if it would be better to kill them so it wouldn’t happen again.

‘I need to make up my mind…this will be common in the future.’ Another vibration ran through the building as his heart wavered. Parts of the ceiling began to rain down as the roar of a terrible monster rang out. Shortly after, flashing lights filled the building. Shin Eunah was already taking care of it.

‘It must be a tremendous monster over there to damage the barrier she put up.’ Kang Shin-hyuk fired off more webs to reinforce his own trap.

“There’s a gate here too! I will… what?!” As he repaired the web, a woman in the same uniform as Kang Shin-hyuk ran up. Unlike his clothes that were still clean as he kept the enemies at a distance with his webs, hers were stained with blood.

“Are you a member of the task force?! I’ve never seen you before…! No, this isn’t the time! The gate…”

“Don’t move.”

“What is that…kh!” Kang Shin-hyuk caught her as she tried to approach the gate. She realized almost too late that a sharp thread was running right across her nose. Immediately after that, the gate vibrated loudly and spat out dozens of the hornets at once.

-Kiiii!

-Kyaaah!

-You’ve suppressed several monsters that are harmful to the order of things. Bonus based on membership level! You received 457,000HP! As a VIP bonus, you receive an additional HP bonus equivalent to 50% of the reward, for a total of 685,500HP!

All of them were cut apart by the webs around the gate.

“What skill is that… no, an artifact? With my energy, I could get it to A-rank, but could I kill such a monster so easily?”

“Shh.” Kang Shin-hyuk gestured to her to keep quiet and pulled out another spiritual power recovery potion. He drank it right away and continued to cover the area around the gate with spider webs.

“I am Shin Eun-hyuk, a member working directly under the head. You can leave this to me. It’s dangerous, so don’t approach the gate.”

“Ah, ah, yes! Is that right, under the chief… Shin Eun-hyuk?” That’s right; if the name were so similar to Shin Eunah’s, then, of course, people would notice! He cursed his foolish senior.

“Do you happen to be her secret younger brother?!”

“I cannot afford to talk right now. Please focus on rescuing civilians.”

“All civilians have been evacuated, and most of the enemies have been subdued. All that remains is the gate!”

“I will assist… what?!” As he tried to get rid of the association member, another showed up. It was a man in his thirties, wearing the same task force uniform. He also showed amazement at Kang Shin-hyuk and the spider web around the gate. The woman ran over to him quickly.

“Senior, did you hear? This person is moving under the direct control of the chief. His name is Shin Eun-hyuk!”

“Someone moving apart from the group… no, his name is Shin Eun-hyuk?” When would this stupid skit end? Kang Shin-hyuk felt like hiding in a hole. However, even in the midst of that, his web trap was grinding up the wasps that showed up. His HP had already accumulated in the ten million range.

“You can install traps like these every time? It makes emissive gates a walk in the park.”

“Traps like these were researched in the early days, but it wasn’t cost-effective. How the hell…?” It was because he could infinitely create spider webs so long as he had the energy. However, Kang Shin-hyuk couldn’t answer honestly, so he just shrugged and avoided their eyes.

-The boss monster will appear soon.

“We can talk afterward.”

“I didn’t know the chief would debut her secret younger brother like this…” The two’s suspicions were halted as the Gaia system alerted them that the boss monster would soon appear. Kang Shin-hyuk held his breath as he looked at the gate. The webs might help, but they wouldn’t be enough to stop a boss monster.

-Kiiii!

Kang Shin-hyuk grabbed his right hand the moment the huge queen wasp emerged through the gate. The webs around the gate contracted all at once to wrap around her.

-Kyaaaah!

“You can even do long-distance control?!”

“I want one too!” Surely there must be others within the Superhuman Association who had the same interests as he did in junior high.

The hundreds of webs began to glow green as they poisoned the queen wasp.
