00308 What is reverse tourism? ————————————————– ———————-=
The tramps started screaming and running away. Perhaps because they had created a concentrated fire formation, the five remaining people turned in different directions and fled. After staring at them for a moment, I let out a long sigh and looked around.
The area where the battle ended was littered with the corpses of well over 10 people. The land, which was relatively clean until a moment ago, is transformed into something like no other place by the blood flowing from the vagabonds. Seeing such a scene, I had to make every effort to suppress the surge of murderousness. I wanted to chase them down right away and slaughter them all, but I don’t have time to chase them down one by one as we are approaching the high point.
“Su-hyun. Thank you for your hard work.”
Soon, Go Yeon-ju’s languid voice rang out from nearby. Only then was I able to wake up the spirit that had been intoxicated with slaughter.
They said they should quickly escape as soon as the battle was over, but they ended up hesitating. Suddenly, I felt ridiculous.
I immediately turned my head and checked the location of my clan members. There, Go Yeon-ju and other clan members were standing there with their faces clearly visible. Among them, I made eye contact with the Shadow Queen. Her work was also remarkable in breaking through this outer zone. If I hadn’t been covered with a shadow just a moment ago, I might have been caught in the crossfire by now.
“It was the right arc. “She truly was the Queen of Shadows.”
“It was nothing. It feels strange. Ho Ho.”
Go Yeon-ju answered while looking at the messy and disheveled corpses.
I looked ahead again. When breaking through the residential area, we broke through as far to the left as possible. Now, in order to get out of the really boring outskirts, I walked in the same diagonal direction to the left as before. Then I could also hear the footsteps of the clan members following me.
Did it run like that for about 5 minutes? The surrounding scenery, which had been obscured by the broken building, suddenly opened up and the view became clear. The fishy smell of blood fades and acrid smoke flows into my nose. And right in front of me, an open space that seemed to be about 15 feet high began to come into view under the huge castle wall. We have finally left the outskirts.
As expected, the gate was empty. Although the two mangled corpses of the guards were visible, and desperate screams could be heard again in the distance, the eastern gate was clearly empty.
Once you can get out through the castle gate, your chances of survival increase dramatically. Even if they are tracked, it is much easier to elude them because it is not a limited space called a city. Anyway, the important thing now was to go outside. Which direction to take next was a matter to think about after escaping the city.
After organizing my thoughts like that, I was finally able to set foot on the street. It was then.
Thing!
A sharp sound that tears the air. As I looked in the direction from which the sound was coming, I felt something elongated breaking through the rising flames and billowing smoke. It was already very close.
I turned my body around reflexively. At the same time, the senses that had been deliberately turned off in order to calm the mind that was intoxicated with slaughter were brought up again.
The cold wind passing by the back of my neck felt quite harsh. As she tilted her head, thinking it was some kind of strange attack, she heard a beautiful female voice through her hearing, which was activated to the limit.
“Fine Shot… . Demon Bullet, Flush!”
At that moment, a huge explosion and a hot energy attacked me from behind.
『A magic attack has been detected. The glory of the sky and the glory of the sun interact and correspond.』
『A magic attack has been detected. Potential ability, battlefield protection (Rank: EX) responds.』
『The glory of the sky and the glory of the sun provide perfect protection! It was judged to be a complete defense!』
I felt countless fragments hitting the shield, but that was it. No damage was done. Anyway, I figured out the location and distance from the previous blow. I raised my head and looked up at the three-story building that was still standing. And after seeing the vague figure aiming at me, I immediately jumped away.
When I unleashed the abilities of Gunshin Bullet and Orothros Boots, the building came towards me in an instant, and the roof was placed below. The archer could be heard slightly drooling, but the action was still excellent. The panic was short-lived, and as soon as they saw me jumping up, they immediately started protesting.
Thing! Thing! Thing! Thing! Thing! Thing!
It was only pulled once, but the sound of six arrows was heard. And the dark arrow fired into the air soon changed direction as if it was dancing and occupied all six directions in an instant. It was like seeing a live arrow.
Soon, jet-black arrows began pouring in from all directions simultaneously.
I calmly held the handle of the sword. And as soon as the arrow came within range, he swung his sword in a wide circle. Perhaps because it is filled with magical energy, a blue trace remains in the air, drawing a semicircle. And the moment the arrow and the semicircle collided, a heavy shock went straight through my wrist.
Ska-ka-ka-ka-ka-kak!
The arrow, or rather the magic bullet, was cut without a doubt and flew out in the shape of a fan. As I rush through the falling debris, the face of the tramp who fired the arrow at me appears bigger and bigger. Although it was impossible to see in detail because the area under her nose was covered by a black bandana, it was clear that she was a woman based on her long straight hair and slender figure. And her eyes were wide open as she looked at me.
I used the force of my descent to force my sword down.
Snip!
‘Look at this?’
The sword sharply cut into the spot where the woman had been aiming at me just moments before. However, she was not a woman to be taken lightly. Most of the blade cut through the air. But I definitely felt like I was caught on the tip of the sword. As I looked forward in a puzzled mood, I could see my bum moving backwards with the center of his shirt torn straight. Her barely visible skin was oozing out a thin stream of blood along with her tiny traces of blood.
The archer narrowly escaped his life. It was effective to quickly retreat as soon as he saw me knocking away the arrow. I really liked the user information and the ability to quickly judge the situation. It was just a shame that he was a vagabond.
I immediately took my stance and rushed towards the archer. It was as if the battle had already ended. The tramp’s skills as an archer were excellent, but that was only when he kept his distance. With the distance narrowed this much, it was safe to say that the archer had no chance of victory.
The archer quickly moved his feet and took a step back, as if he was trying to escape from this place. It seemed like he was trying to somehow increase the distance. However, my agility score is 98 points. He was also wearing Orothros boots, so no matter how skilled an archer he was, it was a long way for him to widen the gap between me and him.
The distance, which had widened to its fullest extent, was reduced to the point where the range of the sword could be reached in just two seconds. I could see despair in the archer’s eyes above the black hood. I stepped firmly on the ground with my left foot and quickly stabbed the sword.
Sigh!
“evil… !”
It went right through the torn gap in the invisible black jacket and stuck into the archer’s chest. The feeling of digging into soft flesh. And when I thought I had had enough, I exploded with all my magical energy.
Goong! Boom!
A huge explosion exploded inside, as if a bomb had been planted inside the body and exploded. The archer’s durability level must have been unable to withstand the pressure of the explosion, and soon his limbs were torn apart and scattered into the air. Remains of bodies scattered in all directions. At that moment, the hot blood that came out from the explosion covered my whole body.
“pooh.”
‘I’m taking a shower of absolute blood today.’
There was also a momentary sense of relief at having eliminated a talented person. I spat out the blood that had gotten into my mouth and then turned my gaze to the back. The gate was still empty. No, it wasn’t empty. Go Yeon-joo looked at me and waved his hand calmly. The clan members did not leave right away but were waiting for me.
I turned towards my clan members and then took a big leap toward the castle gate.
It was finally the long-awaited escape.
*
“How on earth did this happen!”
Baek Seo-yeon screamed for those around her to leave. Those around her flinched as she heard her deadly, echoing screams. Dong-soo, who was always talking loudly, Hae-yeon, who was always complaining, and Ga-in, a dazed and idiotic girl, all kept their lips tightly shut. They know. Baek Seo-yeon is infinitely generous to her subordinates who she cherishes, but once her eyes wander, her original cruel nature is mercilessly revealed.
In fact, Baek Seo-yeon was on the verge of going crazy. When I heard that contact had been cut off, I couldn’t believe it. But when he arrived at the square and the warp gate, that dream became reality. To top it off, he exploded the moment he heard about the situation in the area his subordinates were responsible for.
In order to relieve the anger that was welling up in his head, he brutally killed everyone he saw, but his anger did not go away.
Baek Seo-yeon was definitely a vagabond with a strong black-and-white logic, to the point where she was considered abnormal for a ‘real vagabond.’ Her outstanding skills were such that, even second to none, her prefect was not pleased to entrust her with command.
Baek Seo-yeon stared at the dagger with dripping blood, and scolded her in a low voice.
“In other words… . How many people are affected now? ?”
“… … .”
Baek Seo-yeon’s question was directed at Park Dong-su. He was weighed down by the rushing force, and he just looked around and swallowed his saliva. But as soon as he sent her sharp gaze, she hurriedly opened her mouth.
“Yes, 65 people in the plaza and 77 people at the warp gate. A total of 142 people were wiped out.”
“Seed… foot… .”
“Also, the damage to the main residential area of residents… . A total of 129 people have been confirmed so far… . that… . They say they’re still searching… .”
“under… . So 271 people died? And what damage has been confirmed so far?”
Baek Seo-yeon asked back with a face that said she was not praying. Dong-su nodded her head with a shocked expression. Then, she screamed loudly again.
“Ssivaaaaaal!”
Clink!
Baek Seo-yeon threw away the dagger she usually used and grabbed her head with both hands.
In fact, the total number of vagabonds who invaded Mule this time reached 2,800. Of course, it was a smaller number than the number of users on Mule, but these were not just random people. Excluding the leaders and a few units under their command, their power was such that it could be considered the most elite. Those who escaped safely from the vagabond extermination plan, crossed continents, and crossed unexplored regions. These are the ones who occupy the core among the selected talented people.
In other words, they were vagabonds who had been saved terribly until now and were classified as the highest level of power beyond the immediate sense of power.
Among those 2,800 people, there were a total of 800 vagabonds led by Baek Seo-yeon. Of these, 300 were led by him personally, and the remaining 500 were divided into 300 and 200 groups, respectively, and had them go in on the left and right. And, the area in charge of the 200 people was the main residential area of the residents. Since almost 70% of the people there were residents, they decided to allocate 100 fewer people because it was judged that there would be no major difficulties in occupying the area.
Of course, no matter how high the level of vagabonds was, they had to endure some degree of damage once they attacked the city. However, even though the raid had only just begun, they had already lost 10% of their troops. Among them, nearly half of the dead vagabonds were Baek Seo-yeon’s subordinates. And, the outlying areas where the least damage was expected suffered significant damage. This was the reason Baek Seo-yeon rolled her eyes right now.
It was then. From afar, one of the personnel who had gone to support the outlying area came running in a huff.
“Wow, we’re in big trouble!”
Everyone’s eyes focused on the tramps who came running. Everyone except Baek Seo-yeon closed their eyes and bit their lips. You probably expected what was going to come next.
“We found additional dead people in the outer cove!”
“… “How many people are there?”
“There are 17 people! “By the way, Jeong Jeong-gang and Lee Ji-hyeon are among the dead!”
“17 people… . “What?”
The moment the tramp’s report was finished, there was a commotion in the son-in-law. In addition to his skills, Jeong Jeong-gang was one of the most senior among the vagabonds, and he was also a person with a certain reputation. And Lee Ji-hyun is a valuable force with the secret class ‘Magic Bullet (Freischütz)’. Above all, they were two of the people Baek Seo-yeon trusted and relied on the most.
Baek Seo-yeon’s expression did not change at all. She stared at her bum with her calm face, and then she walked up to her and grabbed him by the collar. And she started staring without saying anything.
“Well, it’s not a lie! “I’m on my way after checking the corpse!”
“… Did you check it properly? “You didn’t see it wrong?”
“Yes, yes! At that time, there was a person who managed to escape, and he testified! Wow, especially Jeong Gyu-gang, he was almost unilaterally attacked by one guy… ! And Jihyun Lee, I’m not sure yet, but… .”
“… “Are you not sure?”
“Well, the body was completely torn and scattered all over the place… . But if you look at the face and clothes… !”
Tuk.
Baek Seo-yeon just dropped her bum. Dongsu cupped his forehead. Not only Dongsu but everyone around him knew. From the moment she grabbed her subordinate’s collar, the line that had been connecting her to Baek Se-yeon’s reason was suddenly broken.
Baek Seo-yeon calmly turned around and picked up the dagger she had dropped earlier. And she spoke in a low voice.
“Lee Haeyeon.”
“yes!”
“Right now, bring the guy who ran away to me. No, I’m waiting next to the body. And tell it. “If you want to live, think about his characteristics and impressions in as much detail as possible.”
“All right!”
Lee Hae-yeon quickly ran out. Baek Seo-yeon next turned her gaze to Dong-su.
“Pong Soo.”
“yes yes.”
“You prepare for tracking right now. Gather at least 50 fast runners.”
“Hey, sister. We’re in the middle of an attack right now, but we’re being chased… . Ugh!”
In an instant, a red glow came out of Baek Seo-yeon’s eyes like an explosion. Park Dong-soo had goosebumps all over his body, but he opened his mouth as if he still had to say something.
“The more the situation is like this, the colder your sister becomes… . Pfft!”
“There may still be some left, and even if they leave, they can catch up quickly.”
“madam… ! still… . After seeing… . You have to! sister!”
“… … .”
“Damn, I know! I know how close you were with Ji-hyun and Mr. Gyu-gang. Since I understand how you feel, then at least say something. Now that the plaza and warp gate have become like this, users are flocking to the south gate faster than expected. The south gate. yes? You know what I mean, right? sister? Even if we go, let’s at least do something! I like it when my sister poops! “At least you won’t need someone to clean it up!”
Baek Seo-yeon looked at Park Dong-su intently. Soon, the glow in her eyes began to slowly subside. The moment Park Dong-su’s neck moved a couple of times, Baek Seo-yeon slowly parted her lips.
“Put it all together for now. Collect it first and report it. okay?”
“damn. I’m thinking of leaving before the report even comes in… . Ah, I get it. I’ll collect it now. “I collect it.”
Park Dong-su let out a long sigh and nodded. And then he started to run in a hurry in one direction.
Baek Seo-yeon looked at Park Dong-soo’s back for a moment, then quickly jumped forward. In her eyes, a desire for revenge that could not be hidden grew even more fiercely.
However, until this time, Baek Seo-yeon did not know. What will happen to you in the future because of your choices now? And what consequences this will have on the continent. She was so blinded by her desire for revenge that she had no idea.
