Chapter 209

The battle against the giant bear monster intensified.

Along with Lia and Seo Yerin, wounded Captain Yoon Daeho also joined the fight, but they got pushed back by the monster no matter how hard they attacked.

The monster kept recovering quickly under the influence of the red chain.

Yoon Daeho, who had lost his stamina, barely controlled his staggering body and said.

“Ahhhhh… We must deal damage that the monster can’t recover in an instant. If we keep fighting like this, there is no chance of winning.”

Lia replied back with a frowned face.

“I know that. But, look at your little ones, aren’t they barely holding on, how the hell are you planning on dealing a huge damage in that state?”

As she said, all the Awakeners have already reached their limits.

If it continues on like this, it will be difficult to hold on and the casualty will be huge.

The situation would have been disastrous if the alter ego of Lia had not played an active role.

Lia looked at the giant bear monster who was going on a rampage.

Now he has completely lost his mind due to the influence of the red chain and was just blindly destroying all the trees and stones in its way.

For a moment there was a feeling of sadness and sympathy in Lia’s eyes, which were looking at the giant monster.

‘Will I be like that someday?’

Lia saw her dark future through the monster.

Although she had given up a long time ago, thinking it was an inevitable fate, from someday on, a small hope began to form in her heart.

“If it’s him…”

Recalling Lim Sihyeon’s face, she smiled without realizing it.

After meeting him, hope arose in her mind that fate might change.

WOOOOOOO

At the cry of the big monster, Lia came to her senses and returned to reality.

She shook her head and shook off the smile around her mouth.

Thinking that it was not the time for such sweet thoughts, she began to concentrate all her attention on knocking down the enemy in front of her.

“I’ll try to get his attention and make a gap somehow. At that time, you guys throw your powerful attack.”

“Lia…?”

Seo Yerin called Lia with a worried expression, but Lia smiled and replied.

“There’s no one else who can do that except me right now. And we don’t know how long it will take for that guy to solve the problem, do we?”

Seo Yerin bit her lips and swallowed her reply.

Yoon Daeho nodded with a grim look.

“Thank you, Miss. Lia.”

“Be prepared, you’ll only have one chance.”

After finishing what she had to say, Lia turned to the monster, while Yoon Daeho and Seo Yerin told the other Awakeners about the situation.

WOOOOOOOOOOO

The monster looked at the approaching Lia and showed deep hostility.

Even though he had completely lost his reason, he instinctively recognized the dangerous opponent.

DUDDDDDDDD

The ground and stones on the floor exploded in the attack of the monster.

Lia dodged it and dug into the monster’s body.

He lost his reason under the influence of the red chain and the power of his attack became stronger, but the attack pattern became much more linear and simpler than before.

Lia was aiming for that point and moved boldly.

She was going to create a gap by creating a big movement of the opponent.

While Lia was attracting the monster’s attention, the rest of the Awakeners were preparing for the final blow.

At the moment when they were waiting nervously for a gap to open.

-WOOOO!!

The monster’s arm moved strangely.

It brushed past Lia, who was trying to evade the attack.

“Ugh?!”

A great shock passed through the grazing attack and a groan came out of Lia’s mouth.

Lia tried to distance herself from the monster to calm the shock for a while, but the monster had no intention of missing the opportunity.

After a persistent attack, the monster succeeded in catching Lia with his large hand.

Sad sighs broke out from the mouths of those who watched the scene.

“Ah! Miss. Lia!”

“Oh my…”

Lia struggled to escape the monster’s grasp.

However, it was not easy to overcome the enormous grip strength.

Awakeners attacked the monster, but it was not enough to save her.

The pressure on her whole body increased.

With great pain, Lia’s consciousness became more and more blurred.

‘Huh… is this it?’

Just before she was about to lose consciousness, a cry that shook the entire space was heard.

BOO WO WOOOOOOOO!

‘This cry…?’

“Let’s go, Bighorn! Let’s show that big guy who the real boss is!”

-Pooooooooooooooooooooooo Woooooo!

“Hahahaha! I’m excited, Popi!”

The loud footsteps quickly got closer, and a tremendous crash struck the monster’s side.

WOOOOOOO

A painful cry came out of the monster’s mouth.

At the same time, the grip on Lia got loosened, and Lia bounced into the air.

Falling down half unconscious, she settled gently on someone’s hand.

HUG!

A great demon beast appeared with a tremendous wave of soul energy.

Just by looking at the big and beautiful horn, I could quickly recognize who it was.

BOOO WO WOOOOO!

Bighorn revealed his presence with his unique cry.

– Poo woo! Poo-woo!

“Wow! Wow! It’s Leader, Popi!”

Akum and Gyuri also shouted loudly and expressed their happiness.

I stroked the hair of  Bighorn, feeling an unknown sense of pride.

“You really came!”

Boo Woo Wooooo.

“I want to greet you warmly, but the situation is not good right now

Boo woo wooooo.

Bighorn cried as if he knew everything. And he bent his legs and lowered his posture.

I quickly understood the meaning and climbed on the back of Bighorn with the children.

BOOOOOOO!

Bighorn put us on his backs and started running fast.

I lay down slightly and held on to the hair of Bighorn because he was faster than I thought.

As soon as we escaped the poison fog, I saw the Awakeners confronting the monster.

Finally, I found Sis, who was caught by the monster.

In a hurry, I shouted, patting the back of Bighorn.

“Bighorn! Sis is in danger!”

BOOO WOO WOOO!

Bighorn, who answered faithfully, immediately rushed at the monster.

WOOOOOOO

The horn of Bighorn pierced the side of the monster.

The monster released Sis with a painful cry.

“Bighorn. Over there! Over there!”

Bighorn reacted quickly and moved in the direction where Sis was falling.

Thanks to Bighorn, I was able to get her safely.

“SIS! Are you okay?”

“Um… Bro..ther…”

“Yes, it’s me.”

Sis responded to my voice even though she was half unconscious.

She smiled faintly for a moment and completely lost consciousness.

Upon confirming her safety, I was relieved.

The giant bear monster, who was hit by Bighorn, slowly rose up.

The horn stab wound was already healing.

WOORRRRRRR

The children shivered and clung to me at the creepy energy spewing from the monster.

Bighorn did not appear to be pushed back by the monster’s fierce energy.

Boo Woo Woooooo.

“Okay, Bighorn.”

Bighorn told me to stay away.

I quickly brought Lia and the children down from Bighorn’s back.

“Sihyeon!”

As we came down, Yerin and Captain Daeho came running from afar.

“Is Miss. Lia okay?’

“Yes, she just fainted.”

“Thank God.”

Yerin was slightly moved to tears looking at Lia.

Captain Daeho also seemed to be at ease at the news that Lia was safe.

“Sihyeon, but… that big guy over there…”

“Yes. I summoned him. His name is Bighorn.”

“Huh.”

Captain Daeho looked at me with disbelief.

WOOORRRRRR

– BOO WOOO WOOOOOO!

Bighorn blocked the monster’s front paw and made a threatening cry as if protecting us.

Feeling that each other was formidable, they continued to check on each other.

WOORRRRRR

The monster, who could not overcome the destruction instinct, attacked first.

As if he was waiting for that, Bighorn rushed in.

The two confronted each other with great force.

BOOOOOOOOOM

There was a loud crash that made everyone around me flinch.

A clash without a single inch of backlash.

But the winner was as clear as day.

WO O R RRRR

BOW WOOO WOOOO!

The monster, who couldn’t handle the opponent’s power, fell out of balance and collapsed.

Bighorn did not miss the opportunity and began to push the monster.

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

The monster tried to rebel by floundering his hands and feet, but Bighorn did not give the opponent a chance to fight back.

He stabbed the fallen opponent with his horn and trampled him down.

The quick recovery that the giant bear monster boasted was helpless in front of the overwhelming power of Bighorn.

Yerin, Captain Daeho, and the Awakeners watched the battle with complete awe.

Bighorn was pushing the monster, who had been fighting for life as if he was playing with him.

“SIHYEON, SIHYEON. That big horned cow, are you sure it listens to you? He is not going to jump at us all of a sudden, right?”

“Of course. Our Bighorn is such a nice guy. Even if he looks like that, he has a lot of cute sides!”

Yerin and Captain Daeho, who heard my answer, looked at me as if they couldn’t understand what I was saying.

On the other hand, I was sad that they didn’t seem to understand the cuteness of the Bighorn.

BOOO WOOO WOOOOOOO!

Eventually, the giant bear monster collapsed completely at the same time as the excited Bighorn’s cry.

“Wow!”

“Oh, it’s down! The monster is down.”

“It won! We won!”

There was a cheer of victory among the Awakeners.

Yerin was so happy that she kept jumping, and Captain Daeho, who doesn’t change his expression much, smiled brightly.

Boo Woo Woooo

A little calmed Bighorn called me with a low cry.

I left the unconscious Sis to Yerin and headed to the place where Bighorn was.

“Good job! Bighorn! You really saved my life.”

Boo Woooo

I hugged Bighorn and complimented him a lot.

He cried happily as if he liked my compliment.

W..O..O..R R R R

Soon, I heard a weak cry and turned my head.

There, I saw the deeply wounded bear monster breathing painfully.

Bighorn, looking at the monster together made a cry toward me.

Boo Woo Woo.

I soon understood the meaning of the cry.

After hesitating for a while, I looked at Bighorn and nodded slowly.

“…Okay, Bighorn.”

With a heavy look on my face, I climbed onto the giant monster that was lying down.

Another sound came along with his breathing.

THUMP THUMP

I approached where the monster’s heartbeat could be heard.

I took out my sword with both hands and aimed at where the sound came from.

The sword dug deep into the heart.

The monster’s whole body trembled and slowly died down.

The face of the monster, which was full of pain, became calm little by little.
