City Of Witches 171

Chapter 171 – #37_Friendship?(4)

#169

One.
20 seconds.
It was the time it took for Sharon to defeat all the remaining homunculus.
The moment when Sharon’s wand decorated with green emerald shines.
A small storm broke out inside the department store.

Seeing that the whirlpool generated in the narrow indoor space tore the homunculus apart like a butter squid, which did not cut well even when struck with a sword, Shiu couldn’t help but admire.

In the middle of the department store, which has become a terrorist mess, Sharon puts the end of her wand down on her floor, ending her fight.

“Whoa… That’s it. Let’s pick it up quickly.”
“Yes, I will help you.”
“I’ll be quick on it now. You are taking a little break Because you suffered a lot.”

After disposing of her remnants, Sharon wisely used every last drop of her mana and slashed numerous corpses with her mind.
Unlike Siwoo’s messy results when she uses even a little bit of complex telekinesis, Sharon, who has solid basic skills, interferes with over a hundred objects without being disturbed.
Even the decision she brought out was very clean, as if it had been extracted by her surgeon.

Said Sharon, putting each of her crystals flying off her air into her pocket.

“Siwoo, have you ever learned martial arts?”
“No, I never did.”

A slightly ambiguous atmosphere flowed between the two.
I am still not sure if the crisis has passed, and I feel anxious that today’s events may be a precursor to some kind of accident in the future.
However, Sharon harvested a large amount of crystals after a long-awaited proper hunt, and it was an opportunity for Siwoo to confirm that the newly established Law of Shadows was very effective, so neither of them felt uncomfortable.

“But how do you fight so well? You thought you were watching a movie.”
“I don’t know. I was also surprised that my body moved first.”

Sharon raised her voice excitedly, but Siu was the most confused.
I caught that many homunculus, but there’s not a single bit of strain on my body.
It was only that her breathing became rough enough that she had run a middle-distance run.
It was proof that she moved very efficiently, unlike the way she used her body recklessly until now.

“Oh right, you must have been in the army too? Did you learn it in the army?”
“No, it’s not like that there.”

Sharon continues to make strange assumptions in a slightly excited tone.
On both her cheeks, dimples of joy that could not be hidden were blooming.
Well, this amount should relieve her of her debt worries for a while.

That way, a total of 103 decisions came into Sharon’s hands.
Sharon gazed gleefully at her heavy pockets filled with the crystals of her homunculus.
With this amount, 100 million, no, 150,000 would be enough.

“Siwoo.”
“Why?”
“I’ve been thinking…”

Sharon approached Siu, who was resting astride a broken shelf near her.
Sharon hesitated as he watched him remove only her helmet from her armor and brush her wet hair with her sweat.
To be honest, Siwoo looked a bit cool today.

“If you exchange this, I will give you 80%. Because you did it.”
“Where is that? Originally, our contract was that you would take what you got from hunting and teach you magic instead.”
“I don’t think this is. Not a penny or two.”

That was a condition that Sharon had put forward, expecting that he would hardly participate in the hunt.
But isn’t this bountiful booty created today by his own strength?
It seemed unreasonable to say ‘this is all Sharon’s!’ While referring to an old verbal contract.

Siwoo smiled and landed on the floor.
And he stroked Sharon’s hair.
No matter how difficult the situation she was in, she always looked good as she went through it honestly without resorting to shortcuts.

“Okay, a promise is a promise. It’s more strange to change words now. Above all, I am not in a hurry for money right now.”
“Uh….”
“You take them all. I am satisfied that I put to use what I learned from you on the hunt today.”

Sharon watched with her blank eyes as Siwoo’s hand stroked her hair.
Her heart beats louder than when her head was shown, more than when her breasts were touched, even though her hair was only stroked.

Why are her heels shaking so much?
Why do you want to smile instead of when you’re really sad?
Sharon, who thought that she would show her unruly, ugly face, hurriedly covered her mouth and was restless.

Siwoo takes her hand away because she wants to be sorry for her reaction.
Come to think of it, Odile also hated touching her hair without permission.

“Let’s go back.”

Sharon was calm, or she was doing her best to appear calm, and she swung around.
It seems that the danger is gone for her, and the crystals have been retrieved, so she doesn’t have to be like this in this desolate place.
I should go home and have a late-night snack and watch a leisurely movie.
Sharon made up her mind to pay for today’s late-night snack.

“Thank you very much Siwoo.”
“What are you thankful for?”
“For always caring for me and helping me.”
“You speak embarrassingly. We have a symbiotic relationship with each other. I like my sister and my brother-in-law.”

Sharon expresses her gratitude without even being able to look at her face properly, and Siu trudging after her.
Siwoo was a little embarrassed by the warm atmosphere that was created after a long time.

Sharon’s ‘Do you want to touch my breasts? I had a hard time dealing with her who came back because I had completely enjoyed her event.
Thanks to the successive incidents, it seemed like it would naturally be buried as if it hadn’t happened.

After going through the escalator, I came down to the underground shopping mall connecting the basement of the department store and Sinchon Station.
I was wary of monsters popping out, but fortunately there was no such sign.
Although the interior of the shopping mall with the lights off was dreary.

“Yes?”

Then Sharon stopped in her place.
And she looks at Siwoo with a bewildered gaze.

“Why?”
“Did you not hear something?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I feel like I felt a big thump a while ago.”
“No? I….”

I was thinking of saying I didn’t hear it.
But at the same time, a loud, dull noise echoed through the building.

-Thud!

Siwoo and Sharon looked around to find out where the sound was coming from.

-Kukuk…Kung…

Earrings and rings placed on the display stand tremble and roll around on the glass display stand.
The emergency exit guide lights blink as if they were out of control.
As I stepped on the ground, the vibrations that came up from my toes made my body tremble.

“This….”

The ceiling cracked like a rice field hit by drought.
I can feel the concrete and rebar supporting the building screaming and splitting and bending.
Then I noticed the continuous vibrations and noises.

“This… What is this?”

Yes.
It was not a matter of which side the noise came from.
It was a terrible scream that the whole building was screaming.

“Come on!”

Sensing a crisis, Siwoo grabbed Sharon’s wrist.

“Oh!”

Sharon is quickly dragged into Siwoo’s arms.
It’s not serious.
It’s not that I don’t think it’s going too far, but isn’t this a sign of collapse from anyone’s point of view?
While holding her, Siu immediately amplified her mana and activated her coordinate movement.

“Si… Siwoo…!”
“Stay still!”
“It’s not the time like this, we have to run away!”
“I’m trying to run away, so trust me and stay calm!”

Two people talking as if screaming in the street at the growing roar.
Sharon, not knowing much about Siwoo’s coordinate movement, urged Siwoo anxiously.

Coordinate movement is a very tricky magic.
There were countless variables to be substituted, and the amount of magic power consumed increased tremendously in proportion to the distance and the number of passengers.
The best thing would be to go home at once, but there didn’t seem to be time for that leisurely calculation.
Therefore, the place to move is set near the department store.

– Kwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwang!

A sound I’ve never heard in my life.
No, rather than a sound, it can be seen collapsing from the far end of the corridor with an explosion that has already reached the realm of a shock wave.
Like dominoes falling, a wave of destruction rushed towards Siwoo and Sharon.
No matter how efficient the Law of Shadows is, to be honest, I don’t have the confidence to handle that amount of shock.

It was hard to hear, but it sounded like Sharon screaming through the deafening noise.
And when a large chunk of concrete fell right in front of Siwoo’s feet.
Siwoo managed to move the coordinates by a narrow margin.

2.
The 12th floor department store collapses.
After successfully moving the coordinates outside the department store, what Siwoo saw was a scene of a large building collapsing helplessly, the end of which could only be seen by tilting his head.

-Koo-Goo-Gung

Mass and position are energy.
A boulder with a mass of tens of thousands of tons was falling from tens of meters in the air, so the department store emitted energy similar to a mass weapon just by collapsing.
By sound, by shock, by vibration.

It seemed like it was being sucked into the ground, probably because it was five stories underground.
Shards of glass scattered in all directions, concrete blocks larger than a person fell like hail.
Such heavy things did not reach the place where Siu and Sharon were, but dust and dust spread all over the area like a sandstorm in the desert and hit Siu as he embraced Sharon.

I don’t know how long it took to build that building.
However, it did not take even 20 seconds for the department store, which was usually crowded with Chinese, to turn into a pile of construction waste.

“Uh… Uh… Uh… Hee… I almost fell behind…”

Sharon burrowed into Siwoo’s arms as if she was frightened.
Even so, it was a truly breathtaking moment.
Corridors collapsing like sand castles swept away by the tide, explosions that made my ears deaf for a moment, and collapses that came close to my nose.
Sharon thought she would be crushed to death.

And if it wasn’t for Siwoo, that would have happened.
It was impossible for even a witch to offset the impact of the building collapsing without magical power.

“It’s okay?”
“It’s okay, dog… I was scared of dog… I think I’m tired. Really…”
“How come I wanted to get rid of it today. My arm is a bit fierce… But, is this good enough?”

I tried lightly tossing her jokes mixed with the truth to lighten her mood, but Sharon still shook her shoulders slightly.
In fact, it’s not that Siwoo isn’t doing anything wrong.
If she didn’t make it on time, she would have been flattened inside the building, and so was Siu.

Should I call it an experience?
She doesn’t come with as much stress as she thought, probably because she’s been on a rough road lately.
In addition, she said, Sharon was trembling like this, but what would she do if she showed a weak side to herself?

“Look, are you hurt?”
“I’m not hurt… Now… Wait a minute… I’m stiff… I can’t move…”

Sharon was frozen solid, holding her sister’s collar tightly.
How should she soothe her? She thought about it, but when she gently patted her on the back, Sharon let out a heavy breath as if her breath had been cleared.
I looked at her face and saw that the corners of her eyes were dripping with pitiful tears.

“I think I asked to go underground for no reason. This must have been the work of the homunculus too, right?”

If not, it’s too cynical.
As soon as you enter the underground shopping center, the building collapses as if you were waiting for it.

“I don’t know if he has that level of intelligence. Oh, I don’t know… My legs are weak… Let’s rest, let’s go back and rest unconditionally.”

Sharon let out her pain and she barely let go of Siu’s clothes and squatted down in her place.
Unfortunately, however, there was no time left for the two to rest peacefully.

“……..”
“……..”

Humans naturally become silent when they see an amazing scene or a scene that is more embarrassing than common sense.
The current Sharon and Siu were like that.

Far away
Perhaps it was originally the entrance of a department store.
As soon as the summer wind blows away the dust and the dust settles, it becomes visible.
The sight of a gigantic beast the size of a building staring straight at Sharon and Siu.
And it starts running right away kicking off the ground.

Sharon’s face went white.

“Si… Siu, you have to run away. That…That’s not it.”

Earthshaft that sounds every time it rolls on the ground.
Even though it walks on four legs, its gigantic body, which seems to be 30M tall, is very similar to the mother of the homunculus that it beat hard today.

However, if it was simply his size, Siwoo, who was somewhat confident in his skills, and Sharon, who watched his performance, would not be frightened.

Above all, what makes me feel the crisis is the number of people who are so tightly embedded in the body that it is meaningless to count them.
It was red eyes.
Siwoo couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Somehow, I got lucky… How many of those are there?”

The owner of Siwoo, who is being dragged around in a mess to the point of being ridiculous, was steadily leading him down the thorny path today.

The coordinate movement formula is not something that can be used that often.
Besides, it takes a lot of time to calculate.
It would have taken 30 seconds to run away, including Sharon, but seeing the mother dog running, it was obvious that she would be trampled on in less than 10 seconds.

Siwoo lifted Sharon up into the princess hug position.
Sharon is not that heavy, but with the added strength of her armor, you can hardly feel her weight.

“What, what are you doing!”
“You don’t even have magic right now! It’s faster!”

Then, he immediately looked back and started to run away towards the boundary of the barrier that stretched far away.
