Chapter 155. The Imbalance
A helicopter soared over the skies of Shanghai, carrying a reporter from a Chinese news agency. While the towering black coffin barred entry, the surrounding area was still visible. Thankfully, the shadow soldiers were not flying monsters, allowing for a closer approach.
The encroaching devastation of Shanghai could clearly be seen.
“The black tide is growing more intense! Our Hunters are fighting valiantly across the city, but the shadow soldiers’ ferocity is overwhelming! The Eight Dragons Association is rallying their elites to the black coffin as we spea—Huh? What is that!”
The source of the commotion came into view. Briefly, confusion reigned as monsters fought monsters, an unusual sight for anyone watching.
“Oh! We've just received confirmation that these monsters belong to South Korea's S-rank Hunter, Kim Do-Joon!”
However, as the chaos subsided, the situation began to stabilize. The summoned creatures were systematically tearing through the shadow soldiers, rescuing civilians in the process.
“With Kim Do-Joon’s intervention, could this crisis possibly—oh... wow... oh my goodness.”
The reporter momentarily forgot they were on air, left speechless by the unfolding spectacle.
Shadow soldiers, which had taken a collective effort from Hunters to bring down, were being destroyed so helplessly by these monsters.
Viewers watching the broadcast were similarly stunned, their jaws hanging open. Yet, amidst the disbelief, another emotion began to rise within them—it was hope.
If Shanghai were to fall, the surrounding cities would be next. In the worst-case scenario, the entirety of China could be swallowed by shadows. Yet, seeing Kim Do-Joon's summoned creatures carve through the darkness gave them a glimmer of hope.
