The Monster Named Targyan

Targyan and Yūto stared at each other.

From a distance, David had just come out of the old building.

He was watching Yūto from afar when he suddenly noticed the person standing near his son.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew and knocked back the hood of Targyan's jacket, clearly revealing his face.

David's eyes widened.

'That's Targyan!' David thought.

"Yūtoooo!"

Tap! Tap! Tap!

David immediately ran toward Yūto as fast as he could.

Yūto turned toward David.

Targyan also turned and smiled as he looked at David.

He gripped the iron staff in his hand tightly.

Then, without hesitation, he swung it toward Yūto.

"Noooo!" David shouted.

Fifteen years ago...

"Follow me," David said.

He walked toward the door of an old warehouse.

David then looked at his friends.

"This is the last room. Targyan must be inside!"

William immediately grabbed David by the shoulder.

"David, don't be reckless. We were ordered not to face Targyan directly. Contact Team Bravo and Team Zero and have them go in first."

David looked at him.

"That's exactly why I don't want to risk more lives. I'll face him myself. I have to capture him here!"

Darius let out a long sigh.

"Then I'll come with you."

William looked at the two of them for a moment before finally shaking his head.

"You two are really stubborn... Fine. I'll come too."

The three of them entered the room, followed by members of Alpha Team, Delta Team, and Echo Squad.

Creak...

They opened the steel door and looked inside.

The room was silent.

Tall steel shelves filled the room, while wooden crates were scattered in every corner.

The dim lighting made the entire warehouse feel even more frightening.

William carefully looked around.

"According to the information we received, he should be here."

Darius frowned.

"Maybe he already knew we were coming."

Before anyone could say anything else...

Click!

The sound of the steel door closing and locking behind them echoed through the room.

Everyone immediately turned around.

Several members of Alpha Squad quickly ran toward the door and began hitting it with their shoulders.

"The door is locked!" one of the Alpha Squad members shouted.

"Hey! Open the door!"

But the large door didn't move at all.

"Damn it! We're trapped!"

Then...

Bang!

A huge figure suddenly jumped down from the top of one of the steel shelves.

His massive body hit the floor with tremendous force, sending dust flying into the air.

Without giving anyone a chance to react, he threw a brutal punch that hit three Delta Squad soldiers at once.

They were sent flying several meters before crashing into a pile of wooden crates.

William's eyes widened.

"Damn! He was waiting for us from the beginning!"

One of the Delta soldiers quickly raised his rifle.

"Move! I'll shoot him!"

But it was already too late.

Targyan moved with incredible speed.

In an instant, he grabbed an Alpha Squad soldier and lifted him as if the man weighed nothing.

He then used the soldier as a human shield.

"Damn... I can't shoot!" the soldier shouted as he lowered his weapon.

Targyan burst into loud laughter.

"You really think little rats like you can fight me?"

Standing around 220 centimeters tall and weighing nearly 160 kilograms, Targyan looked like a living tank.

Every swing of his arm was powerful enough to send a grown man flying several meters.

David charged at him together with William and Darius.

But...

Bam!

Crash!

Targyan slammed into all three of them with his shoulder.

They were thrown in different directions.

Darius quickly forced himself back to his feet, gritting his teeth.

"David! Find a way to open that door! Contact Team Bravo and Team Zero! This guy is a real problem."

David pulled out his pistol.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bullets struck Targyan's chest and helmet one after another.

However, every bullet simply bounced off his bulletproof vest and steel helmet.

Targyan laughed mockingly.

"A toy like that won't even scratch me!"

He grabbed a large wooden crate and threw it at David.

Crash!

The impact sent David flying into the wall.

Targyan immediately charged at him at full speed, intending to strike David before he could get back up.

But just before Targyan reached David...

Bam!

William jumped in from the side and delivered a powerful flying kick straight into Targyan's body.

The giant was sent flying to the side and crashed into a pile of wooden crates.

"Hey, ugly monster! How dare you ignore me!" William shouted as he took a fighting stance.

At that moment, Torino's voice came through the communication device.

"Team Bravo here! We heard gunshots! What's happening?"

Darius quickly answered.

"We're trapped inside the warehouse! The door is locked from the outside! Break it down now!"

"Understood! Hold on! We're coming!"

Darius let out a sigh of relief.

"Good... Team Bravo and Team Zero are on their way."

Darius raised both fists again and prepared to face Targyan.

"Then we just need to hold out until they arrive."

David was still silent after the hard impact he had just taken.

Meanwhile, Targyan slowly stood up from the pile of wooden crates that had been destroyed by William's kick.

He brushed the dust off his body.

Then, a wide smile slowly spread across his face.

"Very good..."

He looked at David, William, and Darius with a look of excitement in his eyes.

"It's been a long time since a human has been able to entertain me."

Targyan clenched his fists.

"Come on... Entertain me!"
