Chapter 314
right after that.
We joined Therun, the Behemoth, who was observing the situation from afar.
“I heard that a girl was riding on a monster. Was it taming the Behemoth?”
Sein-nim’s eyes lit up as he looked at Behemoth and Terun.
“It is a very rare sight.”
Terun was restless, as if Sein-sama’s gaze was burdensome.
It’s not that I’m embarrassed to react like that.
(Old) Terun To the current Terun, who shares memories as Citrea, Sein-sama’s reputation is not particularly burdensome.
In the first place, if you look only at the name value, Terun Citrea’s name value is higher.
“… … Gee, calm down. This person is an ally. Because I don’t mean to harm you. Still. huh? Aren’t you nice?”
The reason Terun is restless right now is not because of Sein-nim, but because of Behemoth.
“Right. not the enemy kind. nice.”
Currently, the Behemoth is frightened by Sain’s presence and is restless.
Because of that Behemoth, Terun also became restless.
“hmm. He thought he was a monster full of spirit to be called the king of the sea. What a disappointment.”
Sein sent a look of half disappointment and half curiosity toward the two.
“It’s a bit surprising that you can communicate with him separately. Like a dog soothing a monster… … .”
Disappointing on the powerless side, but interesting on the sympathetic side.
It almost felt like this.
“Even if it’s a monster, a mammal is a mammal… … .”
Sein-sama’s eyes burned even brighter.
Because of that blatant gaze, the Behemoth’s tremors, which had been at best quiet, began to intensify again.
“Gee, calm down. please. Because I don’t mean to harm you. huh?”
Therun stroked the Behemoth’s back and broke into a cold sweat.
A serious look on the world.
In that state, he turns his gaze to me.
‘hey. What do you do with that person? My kid can’t calm down.’
Therun’s eyes were screaming at me to do something.
As a sign of understanding, I nodded.
“Sain.”
“hmm?”
Sein-nim turned his gaze to me.
That’s all, the Behemoth’s trembling has decreased considerably.
I knew it, but I was surprised again.
‘To the extent that the Behemoth is so frightened by its momentum alone… … .’
Is this the power of a swordsman who has achieved unity of mind?
only laughter comes out
“Why are you calling someone and smiling like that?”
“no. It’s ridiculous to even think about it again. A heart-to-heart reunion in one month… … .”
If Master had been here, what would he have said?
According to Mimir, Master cared about swordsmen more than magicians.
If you saw Sein now, I wonder if you wouldn’t have cheered sincerely while clapping seals.
What an amazing inspection! while saying
“You seem to be properly painting my face with gold.”
“What’s wrong with gilding on gold?”
“… … Is the purpose of putting me to shame?”
Sein made a mysterious expression. The look on her face shows that she doesn’t even think of herself as gold.
It was an expression that still lacked this much.
I mean.
It was said that Sein Binoche was still looking upwards even after entering that realm.
‘A person like that was caught up in boredom and wasting time every day… … .’
I am truly sorry.
If Sein Binoche had known about Shim Gum when he was younger than he is now.
If so, we might have been able to reach the next stage of the reunification of the mind, which no one has been able to reach until now.
When I thought so, sadness and anger surged up at the same time.
‘Even if the knights didn’t fall into the side road saying they would go easily… … .’
A sincere desire to kill rises against the foolish knights of the past who failed to convey the true power of knights properly to this day.
‘If magic wasn’t handed down properly like swordsmanship… … .’
When I thought so, I involuntarily got goosebumps.
Woo-woo-!
at that time. The communication terminal Sain-sama had hung on her waist trembled.
“Is it a simple signal?”
“okay.”
It is not a model that can talk to each other, but it is a model that is often used as a ‘signal’ that can only send vibrations like that.
Usually, when going out on a mission, it is often used for matching signals to each other.
“What signal?”
“This is a sign that the operation is proceeding safely.”
“If it’s an operation… … You mean the anti-spy campaign?”
“no.”
Sein-nim put the signal back into his pocket and spoke softly.
“The spy wipeout operation ended about 20 minutes ago. The operation was a success.”
“Ah, it’s already over. So, the operation that is going well right now is… … .”
“The next step.”
Sein-sama’s eyes shone sharply.
“It’s an assault on the base of the Black Mage Tower.”
“… … yes?”
The name of the operation came out unexpectedly.
Black Mage Tower stronghold raid operation.
our final plan.
If it went according to plan, the plan was to be put into action a month later.
Did you put that into practice at this time?
‘What’s going on?’
* * *
turn back time a bit
The very moment when nearly a hundred black magicians, including three officers, entered Seoul.
Shin In-hyeok was fighting a fierce battle with the executive and the destroyer.
A high-level battle was repeated in the center of the mansion of the mage god’s family, which had been devastated by the battle between the two wizards of the 8th circle.
“You mean you still have time to pay attention to other things?”
Destroyer, who is the best among black magicians in destructive power, and Shin In-hyeok, who is within ten fingers in the world for power alone.
The clash between two wizards of the same power type was turning the surroundings into ruins.
“Is this embarrassing? I’m like this… … .”
Mana was compressed in Destroyer’s right fist.
“I’m only looking at you!!”
Destroyer swung his right fist as it was.
The compressed mana turned into mana bullet and flew in the sky.
In an instant, magic with an unremarkable appearance that could be seen as an ordinary mana bullet.
However, unlike its ordinary appearance, the power it harbors is several tens of light years away from the ordinary.
‘Black core.’
Among the magic currently available to Shin In-hyeok, he activated the most powerful magic, the Small Black Hole and Black Core.
The Destroyer’s magic bullets are sucked into the formed core.
If it were ordinary magic, it would have been absorbed into the black core and disappeared without leaving any traces… … .
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!
As I said, that magic bullet is no ordinary magic bullet.
Befitting the name Destroyer, his magic bullet, which is filled with mana of the nature of ‘destruction’, has the power to destroy anything in this world.
Even if it was a black core, it couldn’t completely block the man’s magic bullet.
“Where are you getting your attention? Is it because of the blue mage tower master who has not been contacted? Or are you worried about the hounds fighting elsewhere? Or else… … .”
The Destroyer’s eyes shook wildly.
“Are you worried about the safety of your son who is hiding somewhere?”
“… … .”
Shin In-hyeok was silent.
There is no need to give back unnecessary information here.
In this case, silence is the answer.
“You have no intention of answering?”
The Destroyer kicked the ground with a big smile befitting its size.
The asphalt with the Destroyer smashed like a spider’s web.
Destroyer’s body flew like a bullet.
Woo woo woo woo woo-!
As it is, it hits Shin In-hyeok with a torso.
Of course, there was no way Shin In-hyeok would respond to such a simple attack.
The Destroyer’s body was blocked by the rapidly expanding barrier.
The two met eyes through a thick barrier.
“Well, whether you answer or not, it doesn’t matter from my point of view. I’m not the one who’s in trouble because I can’t handle Shin Ha-yul.”
The Barrier and Destroyer’s shoulders collided violently, and there was a creaking sound.
No matter how strong it is, the barrier vibrates wildly.
“I just need to kill you.”
Clink!
At that moment, the barrier shattered.
Even the barriers that were deployed with an emphasis on speed could not fully withstand the power of the Destroyer.
Destroyer’s fist flew between the mana of the barrier that was destroyed and scattered.
Shin In-hyeok reacted momentarily and twisted his face.
However, in terms of martial arts, Destroyer stands one level above Shin In-hyeok.
Shin In-hyeok was unable to completely avoid Destroyer’s attack.
Poududeuk!
He avoided fatal wounds, but was hit directly in the shoulder.
A terrible sound, like bones being crushed, echoed from his shoulder blades.
“… … .”
Shin In-hyeok’s brow furrowed.
No matter how much I was Shin In-hyeok, it was impossible to fully endure the pain of my bones being shattered.
“I mean, you have a good sense.”
Destroyer’s eyes shone with an expression of sincere admiration.
“The more I look at it, the more I regret it. If you had focused 100% on this battle, it would have been a very fun battle.”
Destroyer was truly sorry.
Opportunities to fight such a strong person do not come very often.
As a combat fanatic, it was truly regrettable that such a golden opportunity ended in vain.
“… … Stop talking nonsense and just attack.”
Shin In-hyeok was cynical and prepared the magic.
High-powered magic that could blow up the Destroyer in one blow.
Seeing that magic, Destroyer let out a sigh.
“therefore. That’s why you’re looking elsewhere. What are you going to do in such a hurry?”
It is not only magic that has excellent power.
In boxing, it is not the strong straights that matter, but the jabs and steps that allow you to time powerful straights.
Currently, Shin In-hyeok was impatient and lost his jab and step.
I insist on straights and hooks to finish quickly.
So it’s bound to not be a proper battle.
“Isn’t it like this because you only use such great magic?”
Destroyer dug into Shin In-hyeok’s gap and raised his fist again.
Since it is a powerful magic, a gap inevitably occurred.
A blow that properly aimed at that gap.
When Shin In-hyeok prepares for Destroyer’s attack, the magic is canceled and Shin In-hyeok’s body flies backwards.
“I thought it might be fun. Tsk.”
The Destroyer clicked his tongue with an expression of genuine disappointment.
“If you keep doing that, just die. We’re wasting each other’s time.”
The very moment the disappointed Destroyer was about to deliver the finishing blow to Shin In-hyeok.
Mongle, Mongle.
A barrier of water that suddenly emerged perfectly blocked the Destroyer’s attack.
“Forgive me for being late.”
Blue Mage Master.
He was looking down at the Destroyer from the sky with an expression colder than the Siberian sea.
“You finally got it.”
The Destroyer grinned.
“Distortion. stick out Break is over.”
“… … write.”
At that time, a young man of moderate build appeared from the back of the destroyer.
A smart Asian who looks good with glasses.
“I wanted to get some honey.”
Codename Distortion.
In this operation, the officer who was in charge of the opponent of the Blue Mage Tower appeared.
“… … .”
Shin In-hyeok glared at Kim Kang-in, not paying attention to the distortion.
‘Why did you come here?’ is saying
‘I thought it might have gone to Hayul.’
It was so quiet, so I wondered if I had gone to Jeju Island.
That was not it.
‘If this happens, no one will really go to help Hayul.’
Shin In-hyeok glared at Kim Kang-in with resentful eyes.
If you’re coming to help, come quickly; if you’re going to be late, go to Jeju Island.
Why did he make such an ambiguous move?
It’s not Kim Kang-in’s answer.
At that time, Kim Kang-in slowly moved to the side of Shin In-hyeok.
While wary of Distortion and Destroyer, he slowly joined Shin In-hyeok.
“You guys… … .”
Shin In-hyeok tried to criticize Kim Kang-in with a dissatisfied expression.
However, Kim Kang-in was faster.
“Forgive me for being late.”
A small voice, inaudible to Distortion and Destroyer.
“Since it is not easy to trick Hermes’ eyes and ears and call for support… … It took a little while.”
“… … support?”
The blue mage tower lord didn’t waste time in particular.
There is a reason for the fact that the blue magic tower has not shown any movement for about 20 minutes.
“now. Sein Binoche is coming.”
immediately after this incident occurred.
Kim Kang-in realized that he was the only person who could solve this case.
“I will be there in five minutes.”
Seoul Raid.
A spy sweeping operation.
Abyssal Sea Congestion Incident.
The only thing that can do anything about this unanswerable situation where three incidents have exploded at the same time is only you.
I realized that I was the only one who was not currently under any restrictions.
I was aware of it and immediately moved to action.
“Hayul-kun, Sein Binoche will do something for you.”
one.
The waters of the abyss are entrusted to Sein Binoche, who is currently quietly waiting.
Sein Binoche would do anything.
“… … Right.”
Shin In-hyeok quickly regained his stability.
Saint Binoche.
she’s believable
“Good job.”
Shin In-hyeok glared at the Destroyer with a calm expression.
There is no need to rush into battle now.
“Then I’ll take care of the newly joined executive.”
Shin In-hyeok finally started to fully focus on Destroyer.
“for a moment. We’re not done talking yet.”
Kim Kang-in stopped Shin In-hyeok.
Saying that there was still something left to say, he blocked Shin In-hyeok’s face with his hand.
“one more. We have even finished conveying the current situation to Sophia-sama.”
“… … what?”
You say you got in touch with Sofia?
“how?”
“I was lucky. Shadow followed my actions and moved right away.”
“A shadow?”
“yes. From what I’ve heard, he’s a smart friend. With his help, we succeeded in conveying the current situation to Sophia.”
“Then support will come soon.”
“no.”
Kangin Kim shook his head.
“There is no support. The Korean side has to be resolved by the family head, me, and Captain Charles.”
“What do you mean?”
The moment when Shadow’s quick response made contact with Sophia.
Kangin Kim thought.
Is asking for support from Sophia right now?
is that for the best?
no. Not like that.
Now, this situation is not a situation to ask for support.
“Sofia is the home of the Black Mage Tower. We headed to the place where the Dark Mage King is.”
“… … what?”
Now that four executives, including Hermes, are missing.
We succeeded in eradicating the spy, and now the black magic tower’s eyes and ears are blocked at once.
Right now, Hermes’ eyes are focused only on the Korean Peninsula.
If you miss this timing, you never know when another opportunity like this will come.
“today. Everything will come to an end.”
The situation has already begun to reach its climax.
