Chapter 12- star 5
by lionIt's Blade! 0.0;;Wait! Isn't Seoul in danger too?XX, what's the government doing? -.-^Ha! My favorite MS is gone like this. ㅠ
The viewers were also in an uproar. Five stars. A 5-star rating. This grade was given to species deemed beyond humanity’s ability to handle. This was no time to worry about the limited lifespan of an MS encountering a 5-star monster. Gimpo Airport was right next to Seoul, after all. If an MS died, they could be next. They should evacuate to a bomb shelter right now…
“Hahahaha!”
Through the broadcast, the MS’s booming laughter could be heard.
Why's he laughing like a maniac??Yep, he's lost it. ;;;Cut him some slack. He's about to die. ㅠ
“……”
The monster, with eyes narrowed like razor blades, tilted its head, its gaze asking why he was laughing. The young man, who had drawn the curiosity of the 5-star monster, didn’t avoid its gaze. Instead of avoiding it, he stared back defiantly.
“Because…” Choi Kang-sik, abruptly stopping his laughter, shouted, “This is the moment I’ve been waiting for!”
He threw down the airplane door and camera, gripping only the shovel tightly, and charged. Defense was meaningless against its blades, so offense was the best defense! Choi Kang-sik thought and thought.
‘5-star monster, Blade.’
The strongest monster, with no record of being subjugated because its blades increased in proportion to the number of enemies. Its appearance was similar to a human’s. A humanoid with horrifying blades for hands and feet. It seemed difficult to even maintain balance in this form, but Blade managed it on its tiptoes, like a short track skater. It wasn’t just its appearance.
Swish.
It moved smoothly, gliding as if on ice. It retreated far behind, avoiding the approaching Choi Kang-sik. Was it trying to escape?
“Ha! I’m sick and tired of that trick!” Choi Kang-sik twisted his waist. He dodged an attack that flew towards his back from his blind spot without even looking. A blade grazed his side. A little blood spattered, but Choi Kang-sik ignored it. His momentum and steps did not slow down even slightly. His bloodshot eyes gleamed with madness.
‘That trick, I know it all too well!’ His father had died that way right before his eyes. His waist was severed by a blade that flew from behind. His mother and younger sister…
“I’ll tear you limb from limb!” Choi Kang-sik closed the distance with the ferocity of a wild beast.
“……”
Blade merely retreated indifferently. Yet, it kept its eyes on the shovel in Choi Kang-sik’s hand, observing it warily.
Whoosh!
A missed blade circled in the sky and flew at him again. Choi Kang-sik dodged it again.
“Gah!” However, this attack was no joke. It had slightly altered its linear trajectory to somehow injure him.
Drip…
Blood flowed from his grazed neck.
‘Damn humanoid!’ Humanoid monsters, similar to humans, aren’t just similar in appearance. Their wisdom is close to or even surpasses that of humans. Learning is fundamental… But this opponent was not good.
“I’ve only thought of you!” It was a stalker’s confession. Choi Kang-sik had simulated countless times, thinking only of revenge, and researched ways to increase his chances of winning, even slightly. How to face Blade unarmed, without psychic powers! Not once had he forgotten it. And so, finally…!

‘Don’t block my vision with chatter!’ The gods’ messages of complaint and dissatisfaction covered his eyes like a fog. Because of that, he couldn’t see Blade’s blades.
Swish-swish!
But Choi Kang-sik did not fall. He dodged every blade that flew at him without even looking.
“……?” Blade’s eyebrow twitched. It couldn’t understand why its blades never reached this human. It was as if he could read its mind, wasn’t it? It was eerie.
‘It works! It works!’ Choi Kang-sik rejoiced inwardly.
5-star monster, Blade. The strongest monster, theoretically impossible to subjugate because its blades increased with the number of enemies.
‘Then I should think the opposite!’ If there was only one enemy? Only one blade! Choi Kang-sik keenly observed the blade hovering in the sky like a bird of prey. As long as he watched out for that single blade, there was no danger. It was different from his helpless past.
‘It’s a 1-on-1!’ It wasn’t a densely populated city either. There was no need to worry about the terrible situation of millions of blades covering the sky.
Oh my god. The MS isn't dying. lolololOMG. Is this MS real?Fighting a 5-star head-on. He's insane. ;;;My girlfriend is looking at me pitifully. What should I do? ㅠㅠBreak up. ㅗ
The viewers were in an uproar. No matter how long they waited, the moment to mourn MS Cameraman never came. A limited lifespan, they said? They were witnessing a vivid miracle.
Crack!
Finally, even that miracle was updated. Choi Kang-sik, having closed the distance to within range while dodging the incoming blade, slammed the shovel into Blade’s jaw. Was this the first time in human history?
“……!?”
Blade’s head snapped back, and it staggered backward.
‘This shovel is amazing!’ Choi Kang-sik genuinely admired it. It had split countless Buffalok skulls and remained perfectly fine. He had vaguely expected it, but… It was incredibly sturdy. It wasn’t cut by Blade’s sharp right arm that it collided with. Instead, it crushed the right arm’s blade and knocked its jaw flying.
‘My goodness!’ Choi Kang-sik couldn’t believe it. He felt the dignity of a god in his shoveling!

[A hasty certain God scoffs]
“……?”
Blade, wiping the blood from its lips with its tongue, had an expression filled with bewilderment rather than anger. Its eyes conveyed disbelief at the situation. It was like a pampered noble, hit for the first time by a lowly commoner.
The humiliated 5-star monster…
“Huh?!”
Choi Kang-sik, taut with tension, gaped. He couldn’t believe his eyes even seeing it directly.
‘Isn’t he giving up too quickly?!’
Blade is running away. ;;;This is live, right? @@He hit a 5-star with a shovel! lololol
Humanity’s strongest butcher, who had casually massacred millions of humans, turned its back on a single human after being hit once. Unlike when it had backed away, it moved incredibly fast. Choi Kang-sik’s blood boiled.
‘Unbelievable! Why is it unfolding like this?!’
[A certain God shrugs]
[A certain God likes this development]
“Stop! How can you be a 5-star… Damn it!”
Five stars. A 5-star rating. That was a grade humans arbitrarily assigned. It made no sense to scold a monster to act according to that title.
‘No, even so…’ The strongest monster, who had casually massacred hundreds of thousands, even millions of humans, was running away after being hit once by a human! It was a dumbfounding and frustrating situation. The young man, raising his shovel, chased Blade like a ferocious beast.
Whoosh!
A blade flew at him again.
“Hmph!” Choi Kang-sik easily dodged the hindrance meant to impede his pursuit. The attack, launched without proper aim, posed no threat to him.
Then,
“Hahaha! I’ll be the one to take down Blade!” A truly unexpected voice. MS Han Jo-seop, who had been trembling and holding his breath until now, fired lightning at the fleeing Blade.
‘This is the chance of a lifetime!’ The man who hunted a 5-star! The wealth and glory that reputation would bring danced before his eyes. He couldn’t let some parachute take it from him.
“…Heh.” Blade, lightly batting away the blue lightning fired by the suddenly added ‘enemy,’ made a sound for the first time. A clear laugh. One more blade was summoned.
Choi Kang-sik’s expression, which had been so aggressive just moments ago, hardened.
Whoosh!
Swoosh!
Two blades, completely ignoring MS Han Jo-seop, simultaneously flew at him. An expletive escaped Choi Kang-sik’s lips.
“Damn it…!” The blades blatantly aimed only for his legs. It was different from when there was only one. By simple calculation, double the firepower! Choi Kang-sik, whose body rapidly accumulated injuries, had no choice but to abandon his pursuit of Blade.
He lost what he almost had. ;;;Han Jo-seop there. Wow! Awesome! lolololI think I'm getting cancer. ㅠ_ㅠLeaving the stream. ^^
The viewers’ reactions were boiling, almost murderous.
‘This… This is really dangerous…?’ MS Han Jo-seop wasn’t stupid either. He mobilized all his brainpower to somehow quell this negative public opinion. And he said, “Hahaha! Oh dear! Mr. Choi Kang-sik. Our teamwork was perfect, but we missed it so regrettably. Next time, we’ll definitely succeed… Hahaha! Cheer up. What can you do when luck isn’t on your side?”
“…Hey.” The bloody young man dragged his shovel and approached the handsome man.
“If you don’t have a next schedule, maybe you and I can… Guk?!” He knocked his jaw flying.
Thud.
“That’s just a Buffalok grazing noise.”
