◈ Episode 100. Ghoul of the World War (3)
The market is a huge subspace created by the power of the ruler behind it, and anyone can enter the market and conduct transactions by paying a small entrance fee.
However, in addition to these strengths, the reason why the market is so popular with contractors and influential people is that there is no need to visit a specific area to make a transaction.
The market’s position is simple.
Express your intention to enter the site. You can enter the market right away by going to the address specified on the site and opening the door.
Truly overwhelming convenience.
Of course, when considering how to enter such a market, some people wondered why the ‘master behind the scenes’ only performed the duties of the auction house.
Because the market could come from anywhere in the world.
If interpreted the other way around, it meant that the person who came in could escape anywhere in the world, so some people wondered about that.
The market maintained the position that a person who entered through a ‘door’ could only leave through the ‘door’ through which he or she entered.
Therefore, those who had doubts erased them one by one.
There was no reason to ask such questions since they wouldn’t give a proper answer anyway.
Some people concluded that it would be impossible for people who entered the market in the United States to go elsewhere due to the problem of ‘subspace’.
Anyway, in the end, the people who had such doubts completely disappeared due to the ruler behind the scenes sticking to his position.
However, to conclude, the market was able to come and go anywhere naturally using the ability of the ruler behind it.
In the first place, the ‘market’ created by the behind-the-scenes ruler is a completely independent space.
Next, entrances to the ‘market’ are created and deleted in real time, but they are spread all over the world.
However, the reason why the ruler behind the scenes did not bother to open a traffic gate was because it was ‘inconvenient’.
The reason the master behind the scenes created the market in the first place was to raise money to make gifts for the teacher.
The second reason was to find Master.
Anyway, the conclusion is that if the ruler behind the scenes wanted to, he could move anywhere inside the market.
“Okay then, I’ll go and come back.”
Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk was in the market just like the last time he went to Hero Academy.
“By the way, do you mind?”
“huh? what?”
Kim Joo-hyuk answers Black Cat’s question.
Black Cat seemed to think about it for a moment and then opened her mouth.
“No, looking at the news, I heard that the number of monsters was a joke, so I asked if I should come along and help them if they needed it.”
Black Cat entered the market earlier and checked the news.
News about a new type of monster, estimated to be in the thousands, that suddenly appeared during the global battle.
‘He is strong.’
Black Cat had no intention of denying that fact.
However, no matter how strong an individual was, it was not easy to handle thousands of entities alone.
Black Cat’s question is filled with such concerns.
Kim Joo-hyuk chuckled at that.
“Don’t worry, there is a way. “If you’re really worried, send some people in and go rescue people.”
After saying that, he immediately ran into the door that Black Cat had opened.
####
Although the World Competition is a competition for academies around the world, the general public cannot come to the competition venue and watch the competition in person like the school competition.
The reason is that the three survival competitions are held at different competition venues each year and the survival competitions are always held in different forms.
Thanks to this, there were no spectator stands at the World Championships and only real-time broadcasting, but there were still quite a few contractors managing the competitions as security guards.
Even if there were no visitors, the World Cup had over 1,000 students and all of them were prospective contractees.
Thanks to the recent school competition attack incident and the Hero Academy attack incident, the number of contractors assigned to the current world competition has almost doubled compared to the previous year.
So that even if most problems arise, we can cover them all.
In addition, the association also supported additional contractors, so the number of contractors currently deployed to world competitions has increased to over 200.
Considering that there were only 75 security guards last year, this is a very large number.
Is it because so many people were prepared?
The world competition was going very well without any special events.
No, when the number of security guards was increased to this point in the first place, there could not have been any more trouble.
What kind of crazy, evil group would terrorize a place with 200 contractors?
Moreover, the commander currently in charge of the security agents in the global war was none other than Rania.
He is a contractor who signed a contract with the S-class constellation ‘Fist Faster than Light’.
Since she was called one of the association’s top ten contractors and was in charge of security command, everyone thought there would be absolutely no terrorism during this global war.
okay.
Until just a little while ago.
Choi ah ah ah!
Rania’s regime instantly crushes the head of the monster that was running towards her, and at the same time, it immediately heads towards the monster that is running behind it.
Scoop it up!
Five monsters fall down with their heads exploded, accompanied by the sound of a watermelon exploding at once.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
However, when someone screamed immediately after that, Rania frowned and looked at the monster lying in front of her.
A monster with long arms that reach all the way to the bottom of its calves, and pitch-black skin.
‘What on earth are these guys…’ … !’
Rania looked around, still frowning.
The place where she is currently standing was the center of a ‘center’ created by purchasing a huge piece of land so that students competing in world competitions could rest smoothly.
And, currently in the center of that center –
‘Why are there so many… … !!!’
A truly enormous number of monsters were spreading out from all directions and destroying the center.

The shattered flooring rolls around on the ground, and the cement that made up the walls flies randomly in the sky.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
In my ears, I could constantly hear the screams of people who were either contractors or students, and at the same time, the sound of a battle with a monster could also be heard.
The worst situation that is clearly visible to your eyes and ears.
Rania gritted her teeth.
‘What should I do about this situation?’
Rania looked around and thought.
What you see is a monster that looks so bizarre that you wonder if it is right to say it is a monster.
Even if you look ahead.
Even if you look to the side.
Even if you look behind you.
All that was visible was strange-looking monsters, fires here and there, and destroyed buildings.
‘Should I continue to deal with monsters as I have been doing?’
Of course, she wasn’t playing.
As soon as monsters appeared in the center, she immediately ran over and started killing them.
But what are the results?
‘why! why! Will there be more? … !!!’
Clearly, she had killed hundreds of monsters before she reached the center of this center.
But strangely enough, the number of monsters she had killed over hundreds of them had now grown to an unbelievable level.
In short, no matter how much she killed the monster that was popping out, it was completely meaningless at this point.
No matter how many times I killed it, the monsters only increased instead of decreasing.
In fact, if this had happened in a labyrinth or a dungeon, she wouldn’t have had any worries.
In the first place, she didn’t actually feel that much of a threat from these monsters.
If asked to face these monsters in a labyrinth or dungeon, she was willing to face them.
The only problem was that this was not a labyrinth or dungeon.
Also, the problem was that she was currently holding the position of security commander for the global war.
“Kwaaaah!!!”
While she was thinking, someone’s scream was heard again, causing her to jump in an instant.
‘There are too many people to protect… … !’
There are 200 contractors and over 1,000 students here.
Among them, 200 contractors were in better condition.
At least they would be able to gather together and deal with these monsters.
But what about students?
‘It’s still early… … !’
The students were still too early to deal with a monster of this magnitude.
“Woo -ah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Boom!
Rania jumped in an instant and without hesitation struck the neck of the monster that tried to swing its hand to end the student’s life. She looked at the student who had fainted the moment he screamed.
“Keeeeeeek-!”
He frowned as he saw hundreds of monsters starting to rush towards him as if they had been waiting for that moment.
She clearly signed a contract with an S-class constellation, but she didn’t have a single range device that could take out the overwhelming majority of monsters coming at her in one shot.
‘If only I had a useful range device-‘
For a moment, a thought passed through her mind, but she shook it off and looked at the monsters in front of her.
At least she knew very well that now was not the time to say such regretful things.
‘First, protect the things in front of you.’
She remembered that short sentence, which she had always believed in, and clenched her fists with a firm expression.
Kkkkkk-!!!
That moment when the monsters were about to come into Rania’s range.
Stand tall-
The monsters rushing in front of her stopped.
“… … ?”
For a moment, was she at a point where she could see the fleeting moments she had only heard about? I thought so, but
It wasn’t.
Literally, the monster that rushed right in front of Rania stopped just before her fist reached range.
No, it wasn’t just the monster that stopped.
“how… … ?”
After that monster, all the monsters that were rushing toward Rania, clinging to her like snakes, stopped in that state.
The monster stretched out its long hand right in front of me.
Behind it, a monster was leaving its huge mouth like a greedy anglerfish.
A monster jumped to join the snake waves.
Likewise, the monster that tried to attack her blind spot next to her.
As if time had stopped. It all stopped suddenly.
and.
Tuk-
The monster that had been standing in front of her all along began to melt.
“what… … ?”
At the same time as Rania muttered with a blank expression, the monster’s hand fell to the ground.
Wow!
What is heard along with it is the painful scream of a monster, different from before.
However, as if it had nothing to do with the monsters’ will, their bodies began to collapse in an instant.
“… … !”
The monsters began to melt and die in an instant.
Not just one.
All the monsters that had driven her to despair just a moment ago are completely destroyed so easily, to a level that she might even feel helpless.
And it’s really perfect.
And at the end, all the monsters that attacked her disappeared in an instant.
“As expected, the quality of the hair is an ability. Are you sure about its performance?”
“… … Kim Joo-hyuk?”
She unconsciously muttered the name of a famous person standing in the middle of the melted corpses of those monsters.
