Chapter 159 – #34_Redcliffe(3)
#157
One.
Siu woke up from a sound sleep.
After all, even if a person has become a spiritual body to sleep, sleep improves the quality of life.
As soon as she got up, she rubbed her sleepy eyes and came out into the living room, but Sharon was nowhere to be seen.
“Sharon?”
She is Sharon, who always wakes up earlier than Siu.
As usual, you should be sitting on the couch around this time, flicking through a delivery app and choosing your breakfast menu.
She doesn’t answer when I call her, and she even knocks on the room and goes in, just in case.
“What? Where have you been?”
Seeing as he quietly left his cell phone on the table, he must have gone out for a while.
Siu went into the bathroom, washed his hair roughly, and changed his clothes.
“…Somewhat like a couple.”
As she sat on her couch and pondered where she had gone, a new feeling seized her.
To wake up from her slumber and find her roommate as if it were only natural.
Besides, that housemate is a mixed-race woman so beautiful that her eyes pop out.
I wondered if this was the delusion of a male high school student who had been in puberty for a long time.
Well, even though they live together, there is not a single strange episode, let alone a romantic relationship.
“Not. Come to think of it, are there a lot?”
There is, if you think about it.
Sharon, who walks around the room with no bra just before she goes to bed (and right after she wakes up), has trouble focusing on Sharon because of her defenselessness.
When I took out the laundry from her washing machine and ran her dryer at the coin laundry on the 1st floor, I found Sharon’s underwear and was embarrassed for nothing.
It was embarrassing to hear Sharon’s hum while taking a shower or bath even in the living room.
If you think about it further, there are several incidents besides this.
However, Siu did not classify it as a ‘weird episode’ because the series of events was caused by ‘Sharon does not particularly recognize Siu as her man’.
“It’s ridiculous to give meaning to it for nothing…”
Anyway, I drank a glass of water and cleaned my room as soon as I woke up.
By the way, tidying up is part of training.
For some reason, Ea Sadal Melik’s ribbon, his maiden’s loom, are mixed within Siu’s stigma.
It was a kind of training to deal with this freely.
Siwoo sets up the music box’s concealment effect to its maximum and tidies up the room while fluttering the four ribbons extending from his back.
Four strands of ribbon that can be used like hands have been added, so it’s no different than two people helping, but cleaning was slow.
Handling a single strand of ribbon isn’t as difficult as having a third arm, but when the number is two or more, the ribbon begins to twist, just like arms twist when juggling.
It was a part that reminded us of how formidable an opponent Ea was, who used dozens of ribbons freely as if for granted.
After cleaning for such a long time, it was time for the magic class to begin, but Sharon did not return.
“Did you go to the location point?”
As much as she is diligent, she is Sharon who has always kept her class start time like a knife.
It’s probably not too late… I’ll be back in 30 minutes.
If so, she wondered if she could buy some bubble tea for Sharon as well as play.
Sharon has been obsessed with bubble tea lately.
“Shall we go for a walk?”
She’s not the kind of person Sharon would teach her slacking tricks, but she might give her a special lecture on magic that she didn’t want to tell her daughter-in-law if she paid her tribute just in case.
I put my hands in my pockets and came out of the hair dryer.
Actually, Siu didn’t like bubble tea very much.
In Gehenna, she ate hard bread and soup that could be used as weapons, and while living as a slave, she underwent a wonderful taste modification that allowed her to eat pretty much any food, but bubble tea was out of texture.
It’s a soft texture like a frog’s egg.
I couldn’t understand why college students who would hate frogs would drink it because they liked it.
Anyway, she rummaged through her cell phone and walked quite a distance to a cafe that was famous for its bubble tea.
She puts a bottle of bubble tea in her cup holder and walks down the street sipping on an iced americano.
“It’s hot…”
I guess I should have just ordered delivery.
At this distance, it seems like all the ice could melt while walking.
-Kooung!
Siu, who was walking on the sidewalk that started to heat up, suddenly felt a wave.
He immediately realizes the identity of the great trembling that makes his heart feel as if it is being tightened and released.
It is a wave of magic power.
However, it was not an insignificant wave.
As if wrapped in thick cotton, the waveform itself is not large, but it is a deep vibration that subtly makes you tremble.
Something happened
“What else?”
It feels like trouble is pouring in just by walking around.
Siu quickly raised her eyepatch.
He scanned the surroundings with golden eyes that read the flow of magical power.
If a shock to the extent of feeling this much tremor had occurred in the present world, the surroundings could not have been so quiet.
At least there must have been a commotion somewhere, as if it had been bombed.
However, unlike Siu, who was sweating profusely and his complexion hardened, there was no change in the expressions of the passers-by.
In other words, it is highly probable that this wave of magical energy came through the barrier on the other side.
No matter how much the barrier is a structure of copying and pasting another world, in the end it is a space that is in contact with the leaves on the surface of the water and its virtual image.
After looking around for less than a minute, I was able to find a place where the flow of magical power was subtly broken.
It is under an old tunnel made to allow cars and people to come and go under the railroad tracks.
“Shit.”
Siu was worried.
He couldn’t help but worry.
Whatever it is, it is clear that the incident happened, and Siwoo wants to avoid unexpected accidents as much as possible.
Also, the whereabouts of Sharon, who should be the strongest protector, is unclear.
So, if it was a rational mindset, it was the right thing to do and run home without looking back.
If you come out with Sharon, who should have arrived home by now, you will come out. There is no need to step into the whirlpool of events.
Even so, there was a reason why Siwoo was contemplating whether to go to the tunnel or not.
Sharon, who suddenly disappeared this morning, and the timing of this situation coincided quite well.
In other words, I think the probability that Sharon is there is very, very high.
“Why does this fucking happen only to me…”
As soon as this work is over, I was seriously thinking about whether I should buy it at a fortune teller in the college district.
Siu took the music box out of his arms and held it up.
Let’s just take a bite and come out.
If Sharon isn’t there or if it seems like a huge danger that you can’t handle, let’s run away right away.
“Bloom.”
Siwoo kicked the guardrail while memorizing the chant.
And when he entered the inner barrier, what Siwoo saw was the world burning red and the sky turning black as if he had been engulfed in a phone call.
2.
Sensing an unusual atmosphere, Siu looked around through the gap of his helmet.
Tall buildings are all burning.
If this had happened in real life, it would be featured on the front page of the newspaper with the phrase “A great fire” For the first time in decades.
Needless to say, Guldari was the center of destruction reminiscent of hell.
The top is open as if a volcano had exploded under the bridge, and red light and high-temperature heat radiate as if it were a furnace.
“Coke! Coke! Such crazy…”
Siu, who breathed in the heat without thinking, coughed violently.
It was because he was hit by a high fever that was incomparable to when he entered the sauna.
Even though we are 100m away, this kind of heat.
If he continued to move forward, he would surely burn to death before he could even determine what was wrong.
But that’s for a while.
The flames that flicked his tongue all around him fell asleep.
The hot heat is also calm as if it had been blown away somewhere.
Only then did Siwoo move forward cautiously.
His entire body was covered in armor in preparation for any battle that might occur.
While strengthening his body and preparing minimal defense measures, he killed his presence by maximizing the output of his music box.
Asphalt, which has not yet hardened after being melted, clings to his feet.
Because of the haze rising from the heated ground, it was difficult to see under the tunnel.
And he found it when approaching to 20M.
A witch dressed in red is forcibly tying Sharon out.
Meeting her witch is dangerous.
As it turns out, that witch defeated Sharon.
If so, it may be a feat beyond exile.
In addition, the fact that Sharon, who is higher in rank than Siwoo, was made that way means that Siwoo is a strong enemy that he cannot handle.
“Bloom!”
However, Siwoo did not have the slightest worry or hesitation.
Sharon is down.
He’s not dead given his barely functioning autonomous defenses, but he’s on the verge of being kidnapped.
Siwoo wasn’t smart enough to measure conditions in such an urgent situation.
It is enough to consider how to rescue Sharon.
Throwing the spear of shadow risks Sharon getting caught up in it, but running directly and shaking off the Red Witch risks Sharon being held hostage by her.
The music box is working, so you can try a surprise attack only with the first attack.
Then, what is the means to attack the enemy “Only” Flexibly and according to the situation?
A ribbon woven by mixing shadow particles on a maiden’s loom.
The ribbon, which stretched in an instant, wrapped around the red witch’s wrist.
And threw her witch to the other side of Sharon.
It was only a thin ribbon tied around his wrist and swung around, but the result exceeded Siwoo’s expectations.
-Quaaaaa!!!!
As soon as the body flew through the air and landed with a hideous appearance, a lot of sparks fell from the walls that had been heated red by the blazing flames.
The sound of the collision, which echoed several times inside the narrow tunnel, deafened my ears.
“What….”
Are you this strong?
It wasn’t even that Siu injected a lot of magic power.
In terms of feel, it feels like swinging your arms moderately.
However, with just that much power, the witch’s body flew away at an invisible speed, as if it had been involved in heavy equipment.
“It’s okay?”
Siwoo immediately ran to Sharon, who had fallen helplessly to the floor, and checked her breathing.
Sharon’s eyes, which are struggling to open their eyes, slowly follow Siwoo.
“Escape…Run away…”
“Escape is what escape… Come here.”
Without asking further details, he immediately began deploying the coordinate movement formula.
The magic of space movement is not that easy.
To run away to where you want, you have to buy enough time, at least 10 seconds or more.
So, until that witch gets stuck on the wall and rearranges herself, it is the only golden time to avoid battle and bounce.
-Fury!
However, Siwoo’s wish was dispelled by the flames rising from the road where the coordinate shift formula was engraved.
“It’s cheeky, it’s cheeky.”
The red witch began walking leisurely from the other side of the tunnel.
Even though she made such a loud noise, there was not a single living creature in her body.
No, her clothes are wrinkled, let alone her vitals.
Self defense.
An automatic defense system that naturally manifests itself after passing through the 15th level, where imagery and magic are united.
Siwoo also knew that the self-defense, which would block even the main guns of a battleship, would not collapse to the extent that it was thrown against a wall in the case of perfect precautions.
“Who the hell are you? It’s magic I’ve never seen before.”
The Red Witch looked down at her Siu with her crimson red eyes.
This is true
It’s a familiar situation.
It was a similar situation when confronting Ea Sadal Melik for her twin.
Praying that she would not follow the same path as that time, Siwoo amplified her magic power.
