Legend of Legends

Chapter 228: Poring 2

Unless they cut the web, there was no way to escape. And even if they cut the web, the car will crash below, and there were monsters crawling all over down there.

Junhyuk took a moment to think and looked out through the car window. The spider was rather slow at pulling car toward it, so Junhyuk opened a car door, and grabbed the tablet from Soyeon.

"Unbuckle your seat belts!"

After saying that, he threw the tablet toward the building’s window. It shattered, and Junhyuk leaned his seat back and said, "Come this way."

Soyeon was really scared and asked, "Do I have to move?"

"If you don’t, you’ll become monster food."

"But..."

"I’ll help you."

Soyeon moved to the front seat, and as Junhyuk touched her back, he said, "You could get hurt by the glass, but it’ll be better than dying. Protect your face well. Then, jump!"

Soyeon was hesitating stepping through, but Junhyuk pushed her forward, and as that happened, she screamed, "Ahh!"

He turned to Tsubasa and said, "Tsubasa, you have to jump too."

She stared at him for a moment and nodded. The spider saw Soyeon going into the building, and started pulling the web faster. It was possible for them to kill the spider at that point, but if they did that, the car would crash down on alligators and wolvers.

Tsubasa’s power had a cooldown, so she unbuckled herself and moved to the driver’s seat ready to jump.

Junhyuk touched her back and said, "Jump!"

She jumped out hard as Junhyuk pushed her back. She was really surprised with the power of his push. He was just sitting there when he pushed her, but he had done it so hard that she covered quite the distance as she entered the building.

When she landed, she turned around to look, but the car had already disappeared.

"What happened?"

The surprise was short-lived. Junhyuk appeared just outside the window. She thought he must have cut the seatbelt and used it as a rope while he swung inside. He landed on the broken glass, but he landed on his feet and his balance was very good.

He rolled once and said, "Let’s get away from the window."

Craaaack!

From outside, they heard the loud noises of the car being crushed, and shrapnel flew everywhere. The spider must have eaten the car.

Junhyuk looked at his group and sighed when he saw that everyone was safe. Then, he looked around and saw office furniture. At that moment, the spider’s face appeared through the broken window, so Junhyuk grabbed Soyeon’s and Tsubasa’s hands, kicked the door open and ran.

Boom!

Behind them, a spider web came zooming by and stuck to the wall. It had been meant for them. The webs were especially dangerous for Tsubasa and Soyeon. Junhyuk could teleport, use the force field or just his regular strength to tear them up, but he wanted to avoid all of that.

The group moves toward a set of stairs, and a wall crumbled behind them. The spider appeared through the opening. It was so big that it filled up the hallway, but it could still move.

Junhyuk ran toward the stairs, but it would be hard to escape it.

"When is it gonna get here?!"

He complained about the iron soldier, and Tsubasa looked behind her. The spider opened its mouth, and Tsubasa’s eyes sparked, igniting a fire inside the spider’s mouth.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

Suddenly, the spider exploded, and the group was swept by the shock and flung into the air, landing on the ground rolling. Junhyuk alone managed to run through it, but Soyeon and Tsubasa were covered in spider guts.

Junhyuk checked them out and looked at Tsubasa. Her power had done that, the five-explosion combo, and it had left no trace of the spider behind.

Junhyuk looked around.

"I am glad everyone is safe."

From the stairs, they heard the sound of windows shattering. Junhyuk looked down and frowned. There were wolves and monkeys entering the building.

He took the group inside an office, closed the door behind him and stacked chairs and desks against the it. He had to pretend he was having a hard time moving the objects in front of the women.

Soon, the monsters were outside, howling and making noise. At first, he thought they would just pass them by, but the wolves started slamming against the door.

Boom!

"Wolves are also dogs!"

He thought they had to have a keen sense of smell, and they had to be smelling the humans. Both women were covered in spider guts, so they probably didn’t smell human, which meant they were smelling him.

A wolf’s head appeared through the gap of the door, and Junhyuk punched it.

Boom!

Yelp!

He had only summoned the arm warmer, but the Wind Salamander’s Leather Arm Warmer had fixed poison damage, and wolves happened to be the lowest level monsters, so the damage was significant, and the wolf yelped and pulled its face back.

However, it came back suddenly, sticking its face through the door and baring its teeth. Junhyuk was about to punch it again when he heard the sound of a window shattering followed by the fierce noise of gunfire.

Rat-at-at-at-tat!

With that, the wolf’s snout disappeared from the door.

"The iron soldier arrived." action

Junhyuk sighed, and Soyeon finally relaxed and fell on her butt. Tsubasa was staring at him in amazement. The man had punched a wolf and shown very good judgement.

Suddenly, the iron soldier’s arm came through the door, and it easily pushed it open.

[It’s a relief that you are all safe. We have to move to the roof. Let’s go.]

Junhyuk knew Zaira was speaking through the iron soldier and laughed hard. He walked over to Soyeon and offered her a hand.

"Get up, please. We have to move to the roof."

Soyeon was very relieved the iron soldier was there, but she was about to break down.

"My legs are like jello. I can’t get up."

He looked at her for a moment and picked her up. Soyeon’s face turned red.

"I must be heavy..."

"No, you are very light. Don’t talk like that." Then, he looked at Tsubasa and asked, "Can you follow us?"

"Sure. Let’s go."

The iron soldier took the lead. Junhyuk followed it outside the office and saw monsters entering the building. They were crowding the hallway, but they were only coming from one side.

The monsters had already been killed abroad, and only regular iron soldiers were deployed abroad. The one there was a MK-II, so it would be able to deal with them. The MK-IIs were equipped with the decomposition compound, which could easily tear through the monsters with the machine gun.

The iron soldier smashed through the monsters in the hallway and stood at the stairs.

[Go up!]

Junhyuk started heading up, and Soyeon said, "I think I can walk now."

He placed her down, but balanced her as she staggered.

"Let’s go to the roof."

As the noise got louder from below, Junhyuk took the lead. He could tell the iron soldier had more ammo than usual. Considering the level of the monsters, the iron soldier could kill them all.

On the roof, they heard the sound of a rotor turning.

"There is landing pad for helicopters."

There was a rescue helicopter from the firefighters, which they must have sent in a hurry. The group got on. Things had been dangerous, but once the helicopter took off, they thought they were all safe.

That was when they saw monsters climbing the outer wall of the building, and there was a spider among them.

"Shit! There is another one."

The spider shot a web at them as the helicopter took off. Because of it, the helicopter was unable to get any higher or move anywhere.

Junhyuk sighed instinctively. Up to that point, he had been taking care of Soyeon, but now, he had to take care of the pilot as well.

Then, Tsubasa looked at the spider. When it opened its mouth, a series of explosions went off.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

When the spider exploded, the situation went from bad to worse. The spider’s body parts flew in all directions and hit the rotor, they also smashed through the tail of the helicopter.

As a result, the helicopter lost balance and was about to crash. There was nothing Junhyuk could do. He was thinking of using his powers when the iron soldier flew in and grabbed the helicopter, and landing it safely on the roof.

The propeller stopped and everyone got out, the pilot as well. Junhyuk looked at the iron soldier.

"Zaira. How many monsters are there?"

[There are forty-two monsters remaining.]

Junhyuk looked back at the roof’s entrance.

"Sorry, but can you block the entrance with the helicopter?"

The iron soldier lifted the helicopter and placed it in front of the entrance, leaving the pilot speechless.

"Do you know how much each of those costs?"

"Guardians will reimburse you for the loss," Junhyuk said unfazed. He walked over to the parapet and looked down. The building was made of glass, and there weren’t many monsters that could climb it. "Kill all the spiders and monkeys and we should be safe then."

The iron soldier flew up and it started gunning down the spiders and monkeys.

Rat-at-at-at-tat!

The monkeys lost their limbs, and one fell to the ground. If things persisted that way, the group would be safe.

Then, Junhyuk saw another monster moving slowly among the others. He was not sure about its size, but it was the poring. It was trying to get inside the building.

"Zaira! Kill the poring!" he shouted.

The iron soldier started shooting at it, but the monsters surrounding it blocked the bullets, and the poring slowly entered the building.

"So, it was the poring!"
