Chapter Title: The Colossal Erosion Entity
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The viewers were shocked. It was a rift on a scale even they, the ghosts of the internet, had never seen before.
No matter how much these mutants here were all-star level, could they really stop those horrors?
Such doubts arose.
But despite their worries, Yeon-hwa just stared at it in fascination and spoke to the viewers.
“Wow, this one’s on a pretty big scale, huh?”
-This doesn’t seem like the time to be smiling;;
-For real;;
“Hmm, is it that serious…?”
People felt cognitive dissonance at her head-tilted response.
What was it like? It was like encountering someone from a completely different world.
She had occasionally streamed while closing rifts before, but this was on another level entirely.
No matter how powerful Yeon-hwa was, no one knew if she could handle something this massive.
“Besides, Seo-hyun’s here too. Honestly, I don’t think I’ll even need to step in. Right, Ha-rin?”
“Who knows. You never can tell. Erosion Entities are still unknown creatures… they keep evolving. Something stronger than Seo-hyun unnie might come out.”
“Wow, then the Earth’s doomed.”
“Probably.”
Even as Erosion Entities could be seen tearing through the rift and falling from the sky, the two chatted as casually as if they were out for a stroll.
“But that thing’s kinda gross.”
“Tell me about it. Still… Seo-hyun unnie will handle it all, right.”
“True, but… it’d be a shame to just sit here doing nothing, don’t you think?”
“I’m sitting it out. We’re on vacation today anyway.”
Yeon-hwa nodded at Ha-rin’s words.
“Then rest up. Seo-hyun and I will take care of it.”
“Please do.”
-?????
-Can they really just do that?
-What if something happens…?
“Hey, everyone, you’re overreacting. Even without Ha-rin stepping in, Seo-hyun and I have it covered. Oh, Seo-ah, you wanna watch for now?”
“I’ll stand by just in case. Someone might get hurt.”
“Got it.”
With that, Yeon-hwa swung her free hand—the one not holding her smartphone.
At her fingertips, droplets of blood lingered, and from them, countless blood-red bats began to spawn.
“For now… let’s keep it light.”
The moment Yeon-hwa finished speaking, the swarm of blood-red bats latched onto the falling Erosion Entities.
In that instant, the Erosion Entities’ bodies began to wither and twist.
Erosion Entities were fundamentally mutated lifeforms from Paradise.
Since most of them had blood…
The moment Yeon-hwa’s power touched them, they plummeted to the ground as shriveled husks, drained of every drop of blood.
-Wow, damn;;
-One flick of the wrist and that many? ㄷㄷ;;
Yeon-hwa’s actions didn’t stop there.
She stepped lightly off the blood bats into the air, arriving amid a massive cluster of Erosion Entities.
The viewers couldn’t help but feel fear at the hordes surrounding her.
Each one looked like some abomination straight out of sci-fi horror.
But Yeon-hwa acted like it was nothing and snapped her fingers.
With a crisp *snap*, blood erupted from the bodies of every Erosion Entity around her.
Overwhelming power. Nearly thousands of them reduced to puddles of gore with a single gesture.
The viewers suddenly recalled what Seo-hyun had said before.
‘If Yeon-hwa unnie really wanted to… well, a country or two would vanish in seconds.’
“Looks like I’ve cleaned up all the small fry falling from the sky. But that’s the real problem.”
Yeon-hwa pointed at the eye beyond the mana barrier.
“That one looks seriously dangerous. You guys are safe behind the screen, but a normal human might go insane or suffer mental breakdowns just looking at it.”
-So that’s why the Director put up the barrier?
“Yeah. Unless you’re a high-level mutant… it could be pretty risky.”
-ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ
-This is straight-up cosmic horror;;
The moment Yeon-hwa finished, the eye beyond the rift seemed to realize things weren’t going its way and showed signs of rage.
-KKIIIIAAAAAHHH!
Soon, a sky-shaking roar echoed out. A roar… no, more like the eerie wail of a child.
-Ew, gross;;
-Gives me chills
“Ugh, goosebumps. You’re probably fine on the other side of the screen… but a regular citizen hearing that directly might drop dead on the spot.”
-Is it really okay?? Seems like casualties could pile up…
“Oh, that’s fine. Seo-hyun explained this barrier before—it has mental protection too. See? No one on the beach is hurt.”
-Oh…
“So we can just watch Seo-hyun beat down that monster. I’ve got the small ones handled. Oh, wanna snap some pics of Seo-hyun’s swimsuit while we’re at it?”
-lmaoㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-The situation’s super serious everywhere else, but it’s peaceful here. The dissonance is wild ㅋㅋ;;
“No need to worry. Our Director’s way stronger than you can imagine. It’ll be a sight you won’t see anywhere else.”
-You’d die if you saw it anywhere else;;
-For realㅋㅋ
“Fair point… but if it gets really dangerous, Seo-hyun will handle it. Don’t worry. Anyway, let’s get those swimsuit shots. She doesn’t even notice her coat flew off.”
-Kya ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-She said she didn’t want to be front-page news, but now she’s getting plastered on it the moment she hits Korea. Legendary ㅋㅋ
“Exactly. She’s gonna get attention anyway, so might as well relax.”
Having grown more comfortable with streaming lately, Yeon-hwa reassured the viewers with a relaxed attitude.
And then, with the sound of the rift tearing, an Erosion Entity burst through, revealing its true form.
KABOOOM!
The body that emerged was absurdly massive.
Just landing on the ground kicked up a monstrous tidal wave.
Nearly twenty times bigger than Seo-hyun’s true form.
The sheer size meant a single step could obliterate a city.
“…That thing’s disgustingly huge. That height alone has to be almost a kilometer, right?”
-Fuck, incoming;;
-Just walking would wipe out a city…? Director, you sure that’s fine?
“Hey, it’s fine, it’s fine.”
The viewers couldn’t hide their shock at the revealed behemoth.
No one in the world had ever witnessed a 1km-tall monster.
Even Seo-hyun—could she take it down?
As everyone thought that,
The monster swung a fist at Seo-hyun.
Just the swing alone unleashed a tidal wave that crashed against the mana barrier.
People started getting worried. How do you even kill something like that?
-Is it really okay;;?
At the viewers’ parroted question, Yeon-hwa pointed with a finger.
“Look over there.”
Where she pointed, Seo-hyun was visible with wings spread.
She casually blocked the monster’s fist with one palm.
-Kya ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Wtf is that ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Doesn’t that defy science?
-How do you explain that with science ㅋㅋㅋ Just accept it ㅋㅋㅋ
-Modern science can’t touch this anymore anyway
“See? Told you it’d be fine.”
-No words, it’s actually fine;;
-Speechless;;
“But how’s she gonna take it down this time?”
-Dragon Tongue maybe?
“Who knows. Could be Dragon Tongue, or maybe something flashy… Hard to say. She’ll probably preserve some of the corpse though. Thing’s got tons of research value.”
-The total lack of tension is legendary;;
-Any other country would be done for, imo.
“Yeah, true. I’d have struggled too… but with Ha-rin’s help, we’d manage.”
The moment Yeon-hwa finished, the monster’s body suddenly lifted into the air.
It thrashed its arms and legs in resistance, but it was all pointless.
Yeon-hwa glanced at Seo-hyun.
She could see Seo-hyun’s eyes blazing brilliantly.
How would she finish it this time? Yeon-hwa wondered.
Her curiosity was soon satisfied.
Immense power began gathering at Seo-hyun’s fingertips.
She clearly wasn’t happy about running into this on vacation.
You could feel her intent to crush it as brutally as possible.
What manifested next was a miniature sun.
-Krurrrk…!
In that moment, Yeon-hwa sensed the colossal Erosion Entity cowering in fear of Seo-hyun.
-What’s that?
“No idea. A sun…? A tiny sun.”
The instant Yeon-hwa spoke, the sun from Seo-hyun’s fingertips slipped into the monster’s multi-jawed maw…
Brilliant light leaked from its body, and it evaporated in a flash.
As if it had never existed.
“All done. Told you—unnecessary worry.”
The viewers could only gasp in awe at Yeon-hwa’s words.
