I Became the Academy's Kibitz Villain [part 1]

Chapter 145: Hellfire Peninsula (2)

At that time, on Dongbaek Island in Busan.

"Damn it, tell them to hurry up with the backup!"

Police Officer Kim Soon-kyung was hiding behind the police car, hurriedly sending a radio message. Although the person he was calling was of a much higher rank than himself, a mere police officer, he raised his voice since the listener was of the same rank.

"Damn it, people are dying here!"

Correction. Regardless of who the other party was, Kim Soon-kyung desperately needed backup.

A monster about 3 meters in size, resembling a giant dog or a demon, was devouring something whole on Dongbaek Island.

It was a person. Already lifeless, lying there quietly, dead. Blood was flowing profusely from the body, the eyes lifeless, pupils devoid of light, like a dead fish.

Kim Soon-kyung thought to himself. Death was a common sight in police work. Especially after the Great Change, when ability users went on a rampage, it was common for many to die.

But this time was different. Because the person being chewed up by the monster, only the upper body visible as it was being devoured, was an 'ability user.'

"Damn it, hurry up! An Academy student is being eaten by a demon right now!"

Demons eating humans wasn't considered unusual in this world.

But an ability user being devoured meant the situation was more serious than it seemed.

[We'll be there soon! What would you estimate the demon's rank to be?!]

"How should I know? Aaah!"

Kim Soon-kyung quickly ducked behind the police car.

Screech! The police car was sliced in half. If he had ducked any later, Kim Soon-kyung's head would have been severed along with the car.

Hiss.

The demon's blade-like tail stretched out long, reaching the police car. Even though they were about 50 meters apart, the demon's attack reached the car.

Was it because the demon could extend its tail?

No.

"Aaagh!"

The demon was already near Kim Soon-kyung. Having chewed the ability user up to the chest, it looked at Kim Soon-kyung indifferently, with eyes like those of puppies.

"Whiiiirrrr...."

The sound started to escape from beside the ability user being chewed. It was unmistakably a word referring to Kim Soon-kyung, who reached toward his waist.

"Uh, Ah...!"

No gun. Even if there were a gun, it would be useless against an ability user.

"Please, save me...! What did I do to deserve...!"

Grinning, the demon approached Kim Soon-kyung. After swallowing the student in one bite, the demon, with a tail equipped with a blade, sauntered on all fours towards the police officer.

Its tail wagged eerily, similar to how dogs wag when they meet someone they like, chilling Kim Soon-kyung to the bone.

The basis of this apparent 'happiness' was undoubtedly killing people-

"Aaah! Mom!!"

At the moment the tail shot up high, Kim Soon-kyung screamed involuntarily.

Thump!

A loud impact sound echoed. Something seemed to be flying towards him, and Kim Soon-kyung thought it was death.

Thought it was death? Why continue thinking? Shouldn't there be pain if one was cut or died?
