My daughter is the Last Boss
eps. 4
“A crack? Now?"
A siren signifies that there is a gap opening nearby. The crack is predicted by radar before it actually appears.
The predicted rift point will be notified to the nearest guild or individual hunter.
Initially, the hunter would wait before the crack opened. But this siren also means emergency.
"Cannot be. Unprecedented cracks?”
Sometimes, some appear without a shadow. A type of crack that cannot be detected by any radar.
The probability of its occurrence is very low.
But, here an unexpected crack appeared all of a sudden. Confused, he looked around.
Not a single person was seen on the sparsely populated street.
"Dad?"
"It's okay. It's okay."
She feels Seol-ah hugging her legs. He puts a hand on Seol-ah's head and convinces her.
First, he had to find something that could be used as a weapon. All he could see was a broom propped up on the wall.
That's close enough.
He broke the end of the broom. He was thinking of using the sharp part as the tip of the spear.
He holds Seol-ah in one hand and a spear while in the other.
“Seol-aht. You should hold on tight.”
"Yes." Yeah."
He was scared of the siren, so he wrapped his arm around his neck. He immediately started running towards their house.
Mind confused.
'Is there an unexpected crack now? Why?'
Such a thing did not happen in the past.
Undetected cracks are highly unlikely to occur. There are only a few cases that have been observed in Korea.
If it appeared near his house, there would be a commotion, and he would remember something like that.
'No way.'
There is a saying called the butterfly effect.
Butterfly flapping causes storm.
If there's one thing that's changed now, it's him. In other words, because he changed the future, something twisted.
However,
'I didn't do anything that would cause unexpected cracks!'
He kept running without thinking about it. His current body was like a normal person who had no training.
If he encountered a monster, it would most likely not end well.
Besides, she worries about Seol-ah in her arms. He was not strong enough to fight while protecting his son.
Crpr.
A voice similar to an ice crack sounded in the sky.
He immediately stopped and looked up. There was a huge crack, as if someone had shattered the air.
'Fuck!'
He's very unlucky.
He turned right away.
The crack was rapidly widening. Something pinched and came out.
thud!
It fell right in front of him. It was heavy enough to crush the asphalt floor.
The monster stared directly at him.
"A Bull of Crete."
With the appearance of a black cow with a large horn facing down.
It was a monster named 'Banteng Crete', due to its bull-like appearance.
The body size is almost the same as a compact car, even if it collides, it will be no different from a car accident.
The Cretan bull snorted hotly and looked around, then set his sights on her.
'Keuk.'
This was not a problem that could be solved by running away.
The instantaneous maximum speed of the Cretan Bull is 90 km/h. It was a monster as fast as a car on the highway.
The number one priority is Seol-ah's safety.
'Place to hide .......'
He found a small gap between the walls of the two buildings. A gap that only a small child can fit.
While watching the Bull of Crete, he slowly lowers Seol-ah down.
“Seol-aht. Listen to your father.”
He seemed to have seen the monster. His eyes were wet as if he wanted to cry.
Seol-ah's small body shivered in fear. Unfortunately, there was no time to comfort him.
He explains calmly, covering the Cretan bull with his body so Seol-ah cannot see it.
“Enter into that path. You can't get out until Dad tells you to do it. Understand?"
Seol-ah cannot answer and just nods her head.
When he pushed her slightly back, she passed through the cracks of the building as she requested.
He looked back to see if he was okay.
“Huu.”
He took a breath.
The siren sounds indicate that crack management headquarters detected it.
The nearest guild or solo hunter will be contacted soon. The time it takes them to arrive is at the earliest 5 minutes, no matter how short.
'If I make a mistake, will I die?'
The Cretan bull kept staring at Seo-jun and scratched the ground with its front paws.
With his head slightly down and horns in front, it seemed like he would rush forward without hesitation.
He had to draw his attention, and stop until support arrived at the same time.
Meanwhile, Seol-ah could be harmed. He held an imaginary wooden spear in front of him.
Purneung!
The bull snorted and slammed the ground.
A monster weighing nearly 1,500 kg rushed towards him at high speed. The pressure he felt was very strong.
But, he has to endure.
"Dad……."
He hears Seol-ah calling him in a low voice. He could not let his son suffer any more misfortunes.
Bang out! Bang out! Bang out! Bang out!
The Cretan bull ran with enough force to destroy the ground. Instinct attacked within him and told him to escape.
However, he ran in the opposite direction, right towards the bull.
Kwao!
The Cretan bull just hit him.
All the air in his lungs came out, and in an instant, his vision turned white.
“Aduh....!”
It was quite surprising that he would die instantly if he was a normal person, but after all he was a hunter.
With as much mana as he used to protect his body, he was able to survive such an attack at least once.
However, it was hard to accept the intense pain that followed.
'This is not enough!'
He was able to endure with his mental strength. He forcefully inhaled and held her.
The Cretan bull ran straight towards him again. They have a habit of smashing their horned prey into walls.
The explosion! The explosion!
His body was pushed back quickly.
He turned the temporary spear he was holding upside down when the bull hit him.
A monster that emerged from the crack, like a hunter, its skin was covered with mana. Existing firearms would not work, but a spear made by breaking a broom like this could.
But there's no way he could have penetrated the hard skin of the Cretan bull.
“Ugh!”
He had to put his acting together. He held the spear and focused all his nerves.
'I'm not a victim .......'
This is the weak point of all animals. The target is the bulls eye of Crete.
In the midst of trembling, he had to insert the spear right into that small spot.
For a moment, he felt that time was going slowly.
'I am a hunter!'
He threw the spear into his eyes.
Holy hooch!
A clear resistance was felt in his hands. But it went well. In a sudden blow, the Cretan bull raised its head.
Bang out!
His body went straight to the back of the Cretan bull. Falling on the asphalt road, he could stop after a few laps.
The scrappee!
The bull, with a spear in his left eye, jumped up and down.
It was exhaled with excruciating pain and could barely wake up.
The kwang!
He felt like he was hit by a car, and then he flew off and hit the floor. His body is not normal, so is the Cretan bull.
Looks like the Cretan bull banged his head against the wall, seemingly in pain.
Bumped!
The bull banged his head against the wall one after another.
The spear stuck in his eye was broken. The monster that shook its head from side to side, turned towards him and roared.
The only remaining eyes showed hostility and anger.
'Did you come again?'
It took a while, but it seemed to recover faster than expected.
This time, he had no weapons, and it was difficult to control his mana properly.
'Can I avoid it?'
No matter how much damage he did, it would immediately change course and attack.
No matter what he thought, it seemed impossible.
He did not know if he had trained to some extent in this period of time. But now he was not much different from the general public.
'Thinking……!'
The bull kicked the ground again and rushed forward.
Mind accelerated. He hurt his left eye. In other words, he had to run to the left side, his blind spot.
But at that moment,
"Aah?"
The strength in his legs loosened, and he fainted.
The problem was that he tried to land awkwardly as he fell down the road earlier. He had no strength because of his sprained ankle.
The explosion! The explosion! The explosion!
He saw the Cretan bull running furiously. He could feel it in his stomach, this time it would really kill him.
The crack!
At that moment, something unexpected happened.
He didn't know if he saw it wrong. In an instant, the front legs of the Cretan bulls bent to the side.
It's ruined!
The beast that lost its balance turned to the side. The Cretan bull, which hit the ground made of asphalt, came to a complete stop.
Even a moment later, and he would definitely die from it.
'It……'
If he was an ordinary person, he might not know. But he has been a front-line hunter for over 10 years.
So he knows.
'Magic?'
It was a magic that was used very naturally.
There was no time to think about the answer to that question. He could feel a lot of movement behind him.
“A Cretan bull! There are civilians!”
“Protection first!”
The uniformed hunters came in front of him in unison. The hunter with the Korean sword on one side and the other is the hunter of the Goryeo sword.
They would easily be able to hunt the Cretan bulls.
The tension subsided, and his vision blurred. The power drained from his shattered body.
A hunter from the Goryeo sword stared at him.
"You. Are you all right?"
"My son……"
The first thing she worries about is Seol-ah, who is alone in the middle of two buildings.
In his hazy gaze, he saw someone running towards him.
"Dad!"
Seol-ah looks like she's about to cry. He sat in front of her and buried his face in her chest.
Maybe it wasn't scary, but he was shivering. He barely raises his hand and pats Seol-ah on the back.
Then, he lost consciousness.
***
Yoo Eun-hye, who answered the phone, felt her heart sink for the first time.
He took a taxi and rushed to the hospital.
Seol-ah, who is in the lobby, hugs Eun-hye. Eun-hye hugs her in return, and rubs her back as if to reassure her.
“Seol-ah, are you okay?”
"Yes. I'm doing fine.……"
"Where is Seo-jun?"
Seol-ah does not answer and grabs Eun-hye's hand with a grim expression.
Then, after taking her through the hallway, they entered the hospital room. Eun-hye sees Seo-jun Lee lying on the bed.
“S-Seo-jun.”
Yoo Eun-hye could not continue her words.
He had a cast on his arms and legs, and bandages on his head and stomach. IV on the side of the bed flowing.
Yoo Eun-hye's lips quiver in front of Seo-jun, who is sleeping like a corpse.
“Dad tried to protect Seol-ah.....”.
Seol-ah muttered in a low voice.
Eun-hye has been informed of the approximate situation after hearing from the Office of the Goryeo Hunter.
An unexpected crack occurs, and Seo-jun Lee is said to be fighting alone to protect Seol-ah.
Eun-hye, who is sitting on a chair by the bed, grimly looks at Seo-jun.
At that moment, Seo-jun Lee opens his eyes.
“Wah!”
“Kyaa!”
Eun-hye's screams echo in the hospital room. Seo-jun, who lifts her upper body, grins.
Eun-hye is shocked and stuttered.
"You ... you .. you ... !"
"Surprise. Princess, tos!”
“Tos!”
Yoo Eun-hye is very emotional with Seo-jun Lee's natural response. He's really worried.
Seo-jun is playing with Seol-ah, calling it a successful operation.
Tears well up in the corner of Eun-hye's eyes. Later, Seo-jun Lee becomes confused.
"Hey, are you crying?"
"Yes! You bastard!"
Screams echoed throughout the hospital room. It was a very sharp sound.
