You Will Be Blessed If You Do Good Deeds¿-Chapter 175

Meanwhile, the lower-level hunters, including Lee Pyeong-hwa, were busy helping the civilians evacuate while also focusing on the monsters.

The area to cover was so wide, and since Jeong Da-on had casted auxiliary magic, they had divided the number of people.

And it wasn’t just the lower-level hunters who came out to rescue them.

“Thank you for helping us.”

“We should be the ones to thank you. A young student like this is helping us... ... ”

“Hehe, this is really. What a mess this is while we’re having lunch.”

“But it’s fortunate that there are hunters.”

Since the disaster had spread to such a large area, the fire department and police station were also caught up in the dungeon break.

Even though they were civilians, they had received training to deal with monsters, so they worked together and the rescue speed was much faster.

“There’s a monster over there!”

“Please help us!”

Of course, that didn’t mean that Lee Pyeong-hwa had less work to do.

-C-class monster: Oxhorn beetle

Parararak!

The distinctive flapping sound of the insect monster’s wings made several hunters’ faces turn pale.

Their teeth were hundreds of times larger than the size of a longicorn beetle, and they looked like they could easily split a normal human body in two.

The horned beetles were digging through the concrete covering the ground.

They were probably trying to lay eggs in the dirt.

As a result, pieces of concrete and car bodies were flying everywhere.

In the midst of the chaos, Lee Pyeong-hwa gave instructions as calmly as possible.

“First... ...We have to stop them from escaping into the sky. Let’s use fire magic to burn their wings!”

“Yes, yes! I understand!”

“Now!”

In response to Lee Pyeong-hwa’s short cry, the magicians simultaneously hurled fireballs at the horned beetles.

The fireballs, which would normally only be a small fire, displayed much greater firepower thanks to Jeong Da-on’s magic amplification.

Thanks to that, several of the horned beetles caught fire even though the hit rate wasn't that high.

Parallax!

The horned beetles panicked at the sudden attack and flapped their wings to fly up, but it only added to the firepower.

The fire began to spread among the group of beetles.

It was already close to a fire, not a fire magic problem.

At that moment, Lee Pyeong-hwa sent a signal to the firefighters he had told in advance.

"Shoot now!"

"Understood!"

The firefighters came out of the fire truck with hoses and started shooting fire extinguishing powder at the horned beetles.

The beetles, who were already struggling because of the fire, were covered in chemical powder.

- Kii-ee-ee!

The horned beetles, who had difficulty breathing, tried to get away, but the powder covering their bodies bubbled and blocked the monsters' movements.

And Lee Pyeong-hwa didn’t miss that gap.

“Haap!”

Crunch!

Lee Pyeong-hwa cut through the black, hard shell of the beetle with a shout.

Of course, he couldn’t take its life right away, but that was enough.

“Now!”

“Rush in!”

If he damaged the outer shell of the most difficult monster to penetrate, he could then rush in and attack in groups and pour out physical attacks.

Countless swords dug into the monster’s wounds.

And those who lacked brute force brought fire extinguishers and sprayed them into the wounds.

It was a desperate attempt to survive.

After twenty minutes of struggling like that, most of the horned beetles stopped moving.

Cheers erupted from the crowd.

“Again, we did it again! How much does all this cost?”

“Hey, don’t you think we’re doing really well?”

“We’re like that because Lee Pyeong-hwa leads us well. Hey, he’s smart too!”

“No, it’s because the firefighters helped us.”

Lee Pyeong-hwa humbly wiped the sweat from his forehead at the people’s words.

In fact, rather than being humble, he really thought that way.

‘It’s more... ... doable than I thought?’

Lee Pyeong-hwa, who thought that way, gasped and took a deep breath.

No matter how true it was, he couldn’t accept himself thinking that way in this disaster situation.

On the other hand, he felt bitter.

‘Is this what it means to get used to it?’

It had only been half a year since he had awakened.

However, the experience he had accumulated during that time was not just a lot compared to other hunters his age, but it was more than enough.

The fellow hunters who had come back from their first vacation were shocked when they heard that Lee Pyeong-hwa visited the dungeon almost every day.

“I thought I was getting my fill of honey, but what kind of hardship is this?”

“You have to go with an A-class hunter every day? Surveillance, what is this?”

“Then how often do you guys clear dungeons?”

“We continue to train, but the clearing itself is only once or twice a week at most? Even in emergencies, new recruits are not sent in as much as possible.”

“Honestly, it’s hard even if you only go once or twice a week. We’re all risking our lives to go in.”

Most of his peers looked sorry for Lee Pyeong-hwa.

That’s understandable, since he had been released from the military and entered the guild, so he thought he would be comfortable with his alternative service, but instead, he was being overworked even more.

However, Lee Pyeong-hwa had never really felt wronged.

If he hadn’t had that experience... ...what would have happened if this situation had happened now?

Even though he was an A-class hunter, wouldn’t he have been at a loss, not knowing what to do?

The fact that he could respond in this way was proof that his training had paid off.

‘... ... Even so, it was still far away.’

Even though there were so many things going on, like the dungeon break and such, Lee Pyeong-hwa didn’t forget what Jeong Da-on said about acting separately now.

He didn’t necessarily think he would be with Jeong Da-on forever.

Even though Jeong Da-on didn’t say anything, he knew that there was a gap in their skills that could never be narrowed.

Still... ... .

‘It’s okay to fall behind. Just don’t give up.’

Lee Pyeong-hwa gritted his teeth.

Even though his personality was dirty, no, honestly, sometimes he went beyond dirty to the point where he was completely disgusted...

Still, Jeong Da-on was his friend, and he was still working hard to help someone.

Even if the difference in innate talent was inevitable, he had to do his best to be with Jeong Da-on.

It would definitely help to be at the forefront of saving people in a disaster like this.

‘If I keep trying like this, someday I too... ...!’

That was when.

Lee Pyeong-hwa found a few people gathered in front of a large building, making a fuss.

‘Why aren’t you evacuating and are you in a place like that?’

Lee Pyeong-hwa ran over and asked the people what was going on.

“What’s going on? Hurry up and evacuate to the bunker... ... ”

“That’s right... ... ”

“Is there anything inside the building? If you’re worried about your property, just give up... ... .”

“No, that’s not it... ... Are you a hunter? I think I can hear children’s voices inside the building.”

“What?”

Lee Pyeong-hwa was surprised and looked around the building.

It was a fairly large commercial complex.

The building was in a very precarious state, as if it had already been attacked by monsters once.

Half of the signs for all sorts of messy stores had already fallen, and the other half were hanging very precariously.

“Now that I think about it, the sound echoing inside the building sounds like children crying... ... .”

However, it was not certain because the surroundings were so noisy.

“Does that sound the same to you, Hunter?”

“That’s why everyone tried to run away, but couldn’t pass by.”

“It looks too dangerous, so we can’t go in... ... What should we do?”

“Okay, just wait a minute. If you look at the sign here... ... .”

Lee Pyeong-hwa looked at the sign on the ground carefully for a moment, and soon found something.

“There’s a sign for a Taekwondo school.”

If there was a Taekwondo school in the building, there would be children there.

“Oh, are the children trapped because they couldn’t evacuate?”

“Oh my, what should we do!”

People sighed.

Lee Pyeong-hwa looked around at the people gathered together.

“Understood. I’ll go, so you guys evacuate.”

“Oh, but it’s too dangerous.”

“It’s okay. I’m a hunter.”

“A hunter? No, she still looks like a student... ... .”

“Oh, yes. It’s because she’s my daughter.”

A middle-aged woman who grabbed Lee Pyeong-hwa’s arm said worriedly.

“It’s not even certain... ... I’ll just go in and take a look. Hunter, you’re more concerned about other things.”

“No, we can’t let ordinary people into such a dangerous place. Don’t worry and go.”

“But this is... ... ”

“It’s okay, hurry! If you guys are here, the work will be delayed!”

Lee Pyeong-hwa pushed the backs of the people who were worried and couldn’t leave the place at all.

“Oh, this is really bad.”

“A whole building has been completely destroyed.”

And the paramedics who had been moving with Lee Pyeong-hwa also heard the situation and came over to check the condition of the building.

“This is a place where kids often come and go. I should check, but it’s too dangerous to enter without permission.”

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

“We need to do some maintenance work to enter this building. The door frame of the building is warped.”

“What does that mean?”

“This is an old building, and if the building is damaged like this, the emergency exit door frame will be warped. And there may also be damage to the gas pipe... ... .”

“I understand.”

Lee Pyeong-hwa nodded.

In the end, it means that it’s too dangerous for ordinary people to enter.

“Then I’ll go in and check if the kids are there.”

“Yes? No, but... ... .”

“If you awaken and your abilities increase, you’ll be incomparably stronger than most people. It’s best for me to go.”

If something happens, you can somehow escape if you fall out the window.

At least, Lee Pyeong-hwa could withstand the height that would crush an ordinary person.

Of course, if Jeong Da-on was here, he would have clicked his tongue, saying that the prosecutor was incredibly ignorant.

“Instead, if there’s a child, please prepare to rescue them right away.”

“No, but... ... Lee Pyeong-hwa Hunter!”

Lee Pyeong-hwa shook off the paramedics’ dissuasion and headed into the building.

-Sob, sob... ... .

-It’s scary... ... !

And then, as he entered the building, he heard hushed whispers.

.

It was the voices of children, just as people had feared.

“Are there people here?”

Lee Pyeong-hwa shouted loudly.

The voices of the children stopped for a moment at Lee Pyeong-hwa’s shout, and then the chaotic voices overlapped.

- Yes, yes! It’s here! Save someone!

- Mommy!

“Calm down, what floor are you on?!”

- Save me! Save me!

- Oh my!

“Okay, okay, so just wait calmly!”

Was it because he thought rescue was coming?

Lee Pyeong-hwa panicked at the voices of the children screaming incoherently.

‘We have to save them quickly!’

Besides, when he actually entered the building, there was a pungent smell.

Just as the firefighters said, there might be a gas leak.

In addition, the vibrations inside the building were also unusual.

It was in a state where it could collapse at any moment.

He couldn’t help but feel anxious.

“I’ll go now, so stay where you are!”

Lee Pyeong-hwa shouted as he kicked the emergency exit door that wouldn’t open.

As the rescue team said, the door jamb was twisted as the building shook, and the door that wouldn’t open almost broke apart.

“The door on the first floor is open. Those who were on the stairs, come down to the first floor!”

After shouting that, Lee Pyeong-hwa quickly climbed the stairs and headed to the second floor.

He said the Taekwondo gym was on the second floor.

“I’ll open the door for you now!”

Lee Pyeong-hwa kicked the emergency exit door once more and opened it.

Squeak!

A dark hallway.

The children’s sobbing could be heard from beyond the hallway.

“Where are you? Are you trapped in the gym?”

- Please, save me.

- I’m so scared... ... .

“I’ll go now! Just wait a minute!”

Maybe the children were too scared to move even a single step.

Lee Pyeong-hwa ran down the narrow, dirty hallway.

All sorts of miscellaneous stores showed traces of a hasty escape. Overturned desks, open doors, flickering lights... ... .

And finally, Lee Pyeong-hwa stopped in front of a dark, dark, dark Taekwondo studio.

“... ... Kids?”

The Taekwondo studio, visible through the open doors... ... was empty.

The children who had just talked to Lee Pyeong-hwa were nowhere to be seen.

Click.

- Now, what should I do when there’s danger?

- Ask the adults around me for help!

The video that had been playing the children’s lively answers turned off.

The numerous videos that were on were each playing °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° different voices of different children.

These were educational materials for children that were often posted on video sites.

And, inside the Taekwondo gym, where there was not even a single living child.

A woman was standing there smiling.

Although the shadow made it almost impossible to see her face, the corners of her lips were clearly visible.

When the video turned off, silence filled the building.

Now, all Lee Pyeong-hwa could hear was the woman humming an unfamiliar song.

“The winner takes it all, the loser has to fall, It’s simple and it’s plain.”

While humming the old song, attorney Nam Sung-hee smiled at Lee Pyeong-hwa.
