Gate Evolution (2)

-Emergency! A 2-star vampire has appeared at the West Gate! Request assistance!

-Emergency! A 2-star Vampire has appeared at the South Gate! Request assistance!

The chaos has spread all the way from the West Gate to the South Gate.

“The situation has become urgent now, Mr. Kang, please stay as far away from the West Gate as possible.”

“okay.”

Yoo Jong-soo looks quite panicked.

He hurriedly called for support from his superiors and ran to the location where the Hunters were.

Meanwhile, Jun-young sprinted in the opposite direction.

‘I think I should leave now.’

He had come here to assist in the killing the mosquito-like bloodsuckers, not to fight against the monsters that had flooded out due the Gate Evolution.

A 2-star vampire is a far cry from the giant armoured beetle that he had encountered earlier.

If he hesitates to leave and run into one of the vampires, he’ll be doomed.

‘A vampire tree! The name alone makes me  terrified.’

A vampire tree is literally a tree that sucks blood.

I’ve seen it on the internet.

It’s a monster whose branches move like tentacles and suck out people’s blood.

Just the sight of it gives me the creeps, moreover its a 2 star monster

‘If it ever appears in my dreams, it would be my worst nightmare, but is it possible for such a thing to exist in reality?’

Of course it is, it’s become a common  occurrence for reality to turn into a nightmare, with countless gates opening all over the world.

Inside the gates there are monsters that are even worse than vampires.

However, a thought came to him.

‘I’m still the natural enemy of vampires.’

Although I’m mostly just killing mosquitoes, I’m not the natural enemy of mosquitoes, nor am I the natural enemy of bloodsuckers.

I’m the enemy of the vampire species, which includes all of them.

Naturally, the vampire tree also belongs to the vampire species.

It might even be a monster that Junyoung, who possesses the special ability  ‘vampire immunity’, need not fear.

‘..That may not be entirely true.’

It’s a trait with a question mark, making it impossible to tell what its actual grade is.

As a result, he barely received an F rank.

‘No matter how I look at it, that’s delusional.’

Logically speaking, mosquitoes and vampire trees can’t even be compared.

Sure, I’ve killed some bloodsuckers that are bigger than mosquitoes, but that does change the fact that I only killed some bugs.

Did I gain confidence from just that and want to try catching a vampire tree for once?

‘That’s not true.’

Junyoung shook his head.

That’s really crazy.

“Even if it is possible, I don’t want to try it.’

I only have one life.

‘It’s for the best if I just spread the mana mosquito nets safely from outside the gate and get paid.’

Let’s not get too greedy.

It’s enough that I got my F rank Hunter licence.

With that, I will now receive a government subsidy of 1 million won per month.

Plus 300,000 won per month from the daily missions.

And, like today, if I work as a freelancer while treating people who are bitten by bloodsuckers or by catching some bloodsuckers, I don’t have to worry about not making enough money. 

‘It’s more than enough.’

It would be greedy to ask for anything more.

What is more reassuring is that my physique is improving as I level up.

‘I’ve been running for over five minutes now and I can still keep running.

It’s a very strange feeling.

It’s a different feeling from when I was at level 3.

Of course, he’s quite tired from running for more than five minutes, but it’s still very motivating for him, who is synonymous with bad stamina.

‘I think I’ve made it far enough, so I can start walking now instead of running.’

But The problem is, with the gates flooding in and causing  the radius of the fog to expand, he has no idea where he is anymore.

‘Is the outer wall still a long way off?’

I thought that moving in the opposite direction of the gate would lead us to the outer wall, so I ran blindly, but strangely, the outer wall doesn’t seem to appear

If only I could see the outer wall, I could follow it and find the exit.

‘And There’s no one to ask for help.’ 

It’s strange that there’s no sound at all, as if the wireless communication device in his helmet is broken.

It seems that I have gotten lost.

‘I’m not someone who has a poor sense of direction, however I find it difficult to figure out the direction in the dark.’

It’s due to the strange fog that often appears near the gate.

Kaaaaaah!

Suddenly a huge explosion was heard.

It Sounded like a grenade explosion.

Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da!

” Kaaaah!”

” Argh!”

screams can be heard followed sound of continuous gunfire,

Then the gunfire quickly fades away, and all you can hear is people screaming.

At the same time, the mist gradually disperses, revealing the situation there

“What is that?”

There’s a huge tree, probably around 10 metres tall.

The long vines extending from the tree wraps around people, lifting them up into the air and waving them around.

“Gah!”

“Ugh!”

The people up in the air screamed but they soon went limp.

In an instant, all the blood in their bodies has been sucked out of them, and they are now being chewed up by the giant Tree’s mouth.

It’s complete annihilation.

There is not a single surviving Hunter or Special Forces member to be seen around the tree.

Weapons and equipment are scattered everywhere, and there are horrific puddles of blood.

But  there are no bodies.

They’ve all been eaten by that tree monster.

The scene is so surreal that it makes you wonder if it’s even real.

‘I think that’s the 2-star vampire tree.’

I’ve run a long way from the West Gate, but why is that giant vampire standing in front of me?

“What the hell is going on?

So is this the south gate?

I remembered hearing a transmission that a 2-star vampire had appeared not only at the West Gate but also at the South Gate.

“Oh, shit!”

It seems like i have run from west gate to south gate

This is no time to be surprised.

Jun-young quickly turned around and started to run.

If I want to live, I have to get as far away from that tree as possible.

Thrrrr!

But by then, a dark vine-like thing is already wrapping itself around Junyoung’s body.

It came out from the vampire tree.

‘Oh no!’

I will be as good as dead if I get caught by it.

Junyoung rolls to the ground, narrowly avoiding the vine.

But in the meantime, another vine wraps itself around Junyoung’s body.

It was so fast that he couldn’t dodge it, and in an instant, his body was wrapped around by the vine as if he was tied by a rope.

“Ugh!”

Am I going to die like this?

but suddenly the vines that were wrapped around his body began to snap.

“What? What is happening?”

He just squirmed slightly, and the vines around were breaking with his movement, as if they were made of thin paper tape.

Chaaaah!

Enraged at this, the vampire threw another vine and wrapped it around Jun-yeong’s body, but that too was futile, just like before.

What’s even more bizarre is that Junyoung’s body doesn’t have a single scratch on it.

“Kiaaaaaaah!”

The vampire roared, tearing its mouth wide open.

Its mouth was located in the middle of the tree trunk, and two irises could be seen flashing above its gaping mouth.

Those two eyes glared at Junyoung with a fierce rage.

Normally, one would expect to be paralyzed with fear in such a situation but oddly enough, Jun-young didn’t feel scared when his eyes met the monster’s.

“Kiaaaaaaaaah!”

At that moment, the vampire sent a barrage of tentacle-like vines at Junyoung.

Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha!

Dozens of giant vines flew toward Junyoung, wrapping around his body like living giant snakes.

Fass! Fass!

But the result is the same.

the ends of the vines that entangled Junyeong all turned into dust.

“Ki, ki, ki, ki!”

The vampire lets out a panicked scream.

Dozens of vines are flailing in the air, but all their tips are all broken and tattered.

If those dozens of vines are thought of as the Vampire’s arms, then the hands attached to each of those arms are broken.

‘Phew!’

Junyoung took a long, deep breath.

His expression, which had been filled with horror, was now calm.

He finally realised what was going on.

‘It’s due to Vampiric immunity!’

It’s supposed to make me immune to not just the vampire’s bloodsucking attacks, but any kind of attack.

I was sceptical at first, but it seems that this cheat-like special ability is also effective against that vampire tree.

“This is unexpected.”

Just as the mosquitoes had broken their stingers as they tried to suck his blood, the vampire tree had broken dozens of its vines that were like its arms.

It was supposed to be a 2-star vampire, but it couldn’t do any damage to Junyoung simply because it was a vampire.

Then

There’s no need to run away.

Vampire immunity works, and vampire detection also works.

I knew from the start that it was a vampire.

It’s just that it’s such a huge monster that I never even dreamed that I could kill it as easily as a mosquito.

But not anymore.

Junyoung realised that he was the vampire’s natural enemy.

Kiaaaaaaah!”

Suddenly, the vampire spewed something from it’s mouth.

It was a vine covered in blood!

No, it’s more like a tentacle than a vine.

It’s a tentacle with the same function as a tongue, but as soon as it touches Joon-Young’s body, the tip snaps off and explodes

.

“Kee keeeeeeeeeeee!”

The vampire screams in pain.

Jun-young didn’t do anything.

He’s just taking the damage due to its own attack.

‘Even though it is being injured like that, it doesn’t seem to realise that I am its natural enemy.’

It’s natural for a creature to panic and run away when it encounters its natural enemy.

‘Rather than that,How can I take him down?’

I know that I dont need to worry about the vampire’s attack.

But Junyoung had no way of attacking the vampire either.

The bark of that gigantic wooden pillar looked as hard as iron, so any normal attack wouldn’t work.

‘Kwao!”

Bang Bang

Still, you never know.

I pick up the iron bars lying on the ground and try to strike at the vampire’s body.

As expected, it didn’t budge.

In the meantime, one of the restored vines flew up and snatched the rod from Junyoung’s hand, sending it flying away.

‘I guess weapons can be knocked away.’

Just then, the vampire raised its giant root foot and stomped on Junyoung.

Quang!

The ground shook as if there was an earthquake.

Junyoung flung himself to the side and avoided it.

No matter how much he trusts his vampire immunity, he can’t just stand there and let a giant foot slam down on him

He dodges and punches the vampire’s ankle.

It was an instinctive strike.

Thwack!

To my surprise, a crack appeared in the vampire’s skin, which hadn’t budged no matter how hard I hit it with the iron rod.

‘What is happening, I just struck it with my bare hands?’

Is it because of agile hands?

Now that I think about it, agile hands are not just for catching mosquitoes.

【agile hand(?)】

-Deals very strong damage to vampires. The more you level up, the more damage you can inflict.

It is a special attack that can deal damage to all vampires.

However, the higher my level is, the more damage I can inflict.

As a result, Junyoung, who is currently at level 4, has a hard time dealing any serious damage to a 2-star vampire.

Crack! Crack!

Each of Junyoung’s punches only caused a small crack to appear in its shell, and the vampire tree didn’t show any signs of falling down.

However, it seems that the creature is starting to show signs of fear.

The vampire began to retreat.
