It was a funny story.
It was back when Kim Rok Soo was looking up information on the unranked monsters and their appearances and recording everything that he found.
There was something eye-catching regarding this destruction of the original central shelters and the monster attacks prior to the appearance of the first unranked monster.
'It was the appearance of the taster monsters.'
From Grade 3 to Grade 2...
And again from Grade 2 to Grade 1...
The taster monsters appeared at each switch between grades.
Cale couldn't forget the word, 'taster.'
It remained on his mind even without using his record ability.
The first taster monsters.
The Grade 1 taster monsters that appeared during the shift from Grade 3 to Grade 2 monsters were what had destroyed Kim Rok Soo's first central shelter.
Many people had died.
'It was difficult to fight against even one Grade 1 monster during this time.'
People didn't know how to use their abilities properly yet.
They didn't have enough information.
Kim Rok Soo had seen the people die by these taster monsters as he ran away.
That was why he didn't like them being called tasters.
But the scary part was...
'They really were tasters.'
The upcoming Grade 1 monsters' attack and the invasion of the unranked monster in the near future.
These were definitely tasters in comparison to those two incidents.
They needed to overcome it.
They needed to do it without taking much damage.
Cale opened his mouth to speak.
"The overall situation is that the monsters will attack by their grade, but as I mentioned before, there are some special moments in between."
"Hey, Rok Soo."
Jang Man Soo and Choi Han who was carrying him on his back walked over to Cale.
"You worked hard, mister."
"No, I should be okay again after resting an hour or two."
"I understand. Please get some rest."
The shield would be usable again in two hours.
Jang Man Soo hesitated for a moment before starting to speak.
"...Will we be able to defeat the Grade 1 monsters? Especially when there will be 7 of them?"
Everybody around Cale suddenly became quiet.
Seven Grade 1 monsters.
That number made everybody feel as if they would suffocate.
A fierce battle was continuing on the roof as that was going on.
"Keep dropping things!"
"Keep it up!"
"Use a little more of your psychokinesis!"
The people on the roof ledge were throwing everything they had, including weak attacks, toward the Grade 3 monsters trying to climb over the wall of fallen monsters and debris.
That was why they could not tell these people.
They couldn't know that seven Grade 1 monsters would soon appear.
