Chapter 940 – 940.Yggdrasil (7)
“Woah, it’s falling apart!!”
At the same time as the cry of midwinter, the bell tower hit by the meteor shower began to collapse.
And that too, in the direction where Namgung Yuha’s temperament window is located…
‘I’m sure I won’t get crushed, right?’
Even if Namgung Yuha cannot detect artillery fire coming from afar, he will be able to fully sense the sight of a building like that collapsing.
But…
[You are now in a state of fainting!]
Namgung Yuha’s temperament window shows the [Faint] Status abnormality.
In other words, if things were left like this, Namgung Yuha would be crushed by that building and die.
Guess that bell tower in step 1?
The bell tower itself is not difficult to fit.
But…
‘You can’t stop that with level 1!’
Stage 1 arrows only make a small hole in that bell tower, but they cannot prevent the future of Namgung Yuha being crushed.
Without thinking about anything else, I raised my bow and shouted.
“Bow your head and cover your ears in the middle of winter!!!”
“Ugh!?”
Midwinter was startled, but immediately followed my words and fell to the floor, covering her ears with both hands.
At the same time that midwinter fell to the ground…
Ting.
I lightly let go of my fingers that were hanging on the bow string.
That moment…
Paaaaa!!!
A pillar of yellow light flew towards the bell tower, causing explosions all around.
As the heavy rain and wind pressure occurred, Midwinter, who was lying next to her, let out a scream that did not fit her appearance.
“Aaaaah!”
The huge pillar of yellow light that flew away with a midwinter scream…
Paaaaa!
Beyond destroying the bell tower, it created a circular hole as if evaporating and then flew into the distance.
And the huge bell that hung on top of the bell tower…
Sigh!
It fell to the floor and spread the ringing sound of a bell around.
And when I came to my senses at the sound of the bell, I immediately checked Namgung Yuha’s temperament window.
=====
Namgung Yuha
[Martial Arts], [Eye Damage and Blindness], [Calmness], [Longing], [Loneliness]…
=====
Fortunately, Namgung Yuha’s temperament window remained intact.
I sighed and gasped in relief.
“Whoa… I’m glad.”
If it weren’t for the second stage arrow, Namgung Yuha would have been crushed by the bell tower.
I said in a voice that took her breath away as I let out a sigh of relief.
“Let’s go. Hurry…”
“Now, wait a minute!”
Midwinter jumped up, grabbed me, and asked with a shocked expression.
“You, your nose, your nose is bleeding…” .”
“Huh?”
Without even thinking about it, I rubbed my philtrum with the back of my hand…
‘… What?’
A huge amount of black nosebleed appeared on the back of my hand.
But even though I was seeing that kind of blood, I didn’t feel any unusual symptoms.
‘What? When I fired the second stage, I felt dizzy for a moment, but I didn’t feel anything strange.’
[Above all, as soon as mana exhaustion occurred, we immediately took action with Enel.]
Somehow… The level 2 superconductor that I shot earlier is a skill that consumes so much mana that even when the mana is fully charged, about half of the mana is lost.
Even after using that skill, I felt dizzy for a moment and returned to normal.
Our talented CEO.
But apart from admiring it, I didn’t understand it.
[Could it be because of the power outage?]
‘Oh…’
[Seeing that it is described as releasing a certain level of poison or contaminants through blood, I think it is probably discharging contaminants caused by mana exhaustion.]
Kang Han-na’s words were persuasive.
Danjeon also has the ability to purify the body by purifying energy and blood.
Thanks to Armonia, she quickly recovered from her mana exhaustion, but it seemed more accurate to see that she returned to normal right away.
While I was thinking about that, I came to my senses and said, “Oh, no.”
‘Right now is not the time to think about this!’
I immediately plugged her nose and checked the figure of Midwinter next to her.
An expression full of worry, unlike usual.
I looked at her in the middle of winter and shook her head.
“It’s no big deal, don’t worry!”
“Byeo, it’s not a big deal… ! “You are in a critical situation no matter what anyone sees right now!”
“It’s okay!” Let’s hurry!”
“Now, wait a minute!”
After saying that, I sprinted towards Namgung Yuha.
Fortunately, there were no more meteor showers, perhaps because I had ignorantly shot them earlier.
When I finally arrived at Namgung Yuha’s place…
“Uh!? “All of you!”
A soldier stood next to the fallen Namgung Yuha and looked at me.
“Gwae, are you okay!? Uh, your face is covered in blood…”
“…”
Earlier it was only on her nose, but when I rubbed her philtrum, her whole face seemed to be covered in blood.
I ignored the soldier’s words and asked, supporting Namgung Yuha’s fallen head with my arms.
“Why did this person faint?”
“Ah! “That’s it!”
The soldier hesitated, but immediately explained the situation to us.
“As the artillery fire rained down, I remembered this person climbing the bell tower. So we came back, found this person collapsed, and dragged him outside.”
“Why did you faint?”
“You were not hit by artillery fire. The bell tower was safe until I arrived. Perhaps he fell due to the shaking caused by artillery fire…”
First of all, I was relieved that I wasn’t hit by artillery fire.
‘I have fractures in my legs and entire body. ‘Let’s treat it first.’
With that in mind, I cast a recovery spell.
As I cast the recovery spell, midwinter, which arrived late, began to attack me.
“What? “What kind of magic are you using again?”
“I’m using recovery skills.”
“S-Stop it!!”
“?”
Midwinter grabbed my arm while I was using the recovery skill and pulled me towards him, crying.
“You… And then you die… Really…”
“…”
Why do you want to kill people at will?
‘No, they treat me like someone who just got a nosebleed and is dying.’
I was so dumbfounded that I was about to say something, but Kang Han-na just happened to giggle and say something over the phone.
[Shall I show you what I look like now?]
A holographic mirror appeared right in front of me.
My face you see there…
‘… ‘I’m on the verge of death.’
His face was covered in black blood.
‘Did I rub my face too much…? .’
For me, I just wiped my nosebleed and plugged my nose.
However, due to that act, my face became so hideous that even zombies were scared and ran away.
Seeing it like this made me understand why Midwinter was so worried.
But…
“Because I’m really fine. “Please let me go.”
“Oh, no! Are you really…”
Mr… That won’t work.
I grumbled to myself and just used the magic circle to heal Namgung Yuha.
‘If you think about it, there was no need to stretch out your arms in the first place…’
I also forgot because of my habit of stretching my arms every time I used magic.
When I ignored her and finished treating Namgung Yuha, Midwinter held onto my arm and cried even more.
“This idiot…”
I wanted to explain it to Midwinter somehow, but no matter what explanation I gave, it didn’t seem like he would listen at all.
‘I’ll take care of it later…’
Thinking like that, I started shaking Namgung Yuha to wake him up.
“Namgoong Yuha! “Come to your senses!!”
If it were just the two of us, I would have used the expression “Master,” But now that Midwinter was next to me, I called her name as usual.
If it were normal, she would have woken up calmly.
But now war has broken out.
If the bombardment continues with Namgung Yuha unconscious, it will be quite difficult.
After trying to wake him up by shaking him like crazy…
“Hmm…”
I was barely able to wake Namgung Yuha.
I was able to breathe a sigh of relief when I saw Namgung Yuha waking up.
“Phew… “I’m so glad you came to your senses.”
“…”
Namgung Yuha was silent for a moment and fumbled with my body…
“I… Excuse me…”
“… ?”
“Bimmu… “Did you do well?”
In this situation?
I was taken aback because it was such a strange thing to say, but at the same time, I was able to relax thanks to her question.
“Haha… “It was a good match.”
“Thank goodness. Phew…”
“There are more important things right now.”
“What’s more important… ?”
I explained the current situation to Namgung Yuha.
A war broke out, we were bombarded, and the bombardment may continue at some point…
“The situation is serious.”
Namgung Yuha took the situation seriously and slowly raised her body to her feet.
Then she looked around and looked surprised.
“I can’t believe the bell tower I climbed collapsed like this…”
Namgung Yuha was shocked to see the bell tower that seemed to have been completely torn apart.
However, it was not me who answered her words, but the grumpy Midwinter.
“Hey. “The bell tower didn’t end up like that because it was shelled?”
“Yes? Then why…”
“The bell tower collapsed and you were about to be crushed, so this man vomited blood and destroyed you to save you.”
“?”
I had a nosebleed, but I don’t remember vomiting blood.
“What nonsense…”
I tried to refute Midwinter’s words, but was stopped by Namgung Yuha’s hand.
“Oh, please show me!”
“Oh, wait… It’s not that much…”
“As soon as I woke up, I thought I couldn’t see my facial expressions very well, but I guess it was because of this!”
Namgung Yuha started wiping my face with the sleeve of her uniform.
I shouted as I hurriedly took off Namgung Yuha as her military uniform became stained with black blood.
“It’s dirty! And I can just use a cleansing spell, so you don’t have to do that!”
“It’s dirty! “It’s because of me that this happened!”
“That’s right! And you stop using magic now!”
I was okay, but the two women started making a fuss and scolding me.
‘I’m going to turn…’ .’
I gently pressed my finger to my throbbing temple and examined the situation.
Before we knew it, city residents had gathered around us.
The residents were looking at me like that and muttering…
“That man said he blocked all those bombardments earlier?”
“That’s right! “They said that blood poured out like that because they blocked all the artillery fire earlier!”
“Besides, it was that summoner who summoned the pillar of light earlier!”
“Oh my god… To protect us…”
“He must have used up his lifespan…”
It’s a sight to behold.
I just didn’t want to get hit by a meteor shower, and all I could think about was saving Namgung Yuha…
But it didn’t seem necessary to say that out loud.
While there was so much noise…
Shoot…
From far away, a meteor shower began to fly this way again.
After removing Namgung Yuha’s hand, I hurriedly aimed my bow and shouted.
“Everyone, quickly evacuate to the shelter!”
But the residents who heard me…
“B-but what can we do with you alone!!”
“I can’t leave you alone!”
“And then the body… !”
No, I feel better only when you run away.
I ignored the residents’ words and fired the first stage of the superconductor.
Paaaaang!
The arrow, which flew along a graceful curve with a cheerful sound, pierced through five meteor shower objects and turned them into stardust.
Residents are amazed by the sight…
“Oooooh! “This is truly amazing!”
“I can’t believe this guy was in our neighborhood!”
“You’re welcome!”
And in the middle of winter, Namgung Yu-ha, holding my arm and crying…
“S-Stop it!! And then your real body… !”
“I’ll do my best to stop it, so don’t push yourself any further!!
“…”
I’m going crazy and jumping up and down.
Although we were in such an awkward situation, we had one goal anyway.
“Let’s evacuate first!”
They took advantage of the meteor shower calming down again and quickly moved to the shelter.
Midwinter heard me and raised her voice so that the people around her could hear.
“Just follow me! “I know the nearest shelter!”
“Oooooh!”
The crowd that had been disturbed by the shelling earlier was no longer here.
There was just an orderly crowd led by one person.
But that one person…
“Now, this time we have to protect this person!”
“That’s right! “You have to stop it with your body!”
“…”
Although it was me who was the problem.
‘It’s so frustrating I’m going crazy.’
I couldn’t see any way to overcome this situation.
I couldn’t fight my way, ignoring the worries of Namgung Yuha and Midwinter, and furthermore, I couldn’t ignore the consideration of the residents.
In fact, I also prayed that the situation where I would not be shot would come quickly.
‘I won’t have to use stage 2 like before, but if I keep it like this, I’ll really run out of mana.’
I prayed earnestly that I would get to the shelter quickly before that situation came.
Once you reach the shelter, you will be able to rest while the bombardment takes place.
‘It would be much better to stop the bombardment right now and advance and fight…’
It was a moment of regret and heartache.
One of the residents shouted, pointing her finger to the sky.
“Hey, look over there!!!”
Not only me, but everyone else’s eyes were fixed on the finger the resident was pointing at.
And there…
“… “You’ve already finished shelling?”
White horse… No, I could see a group of elves flying towards us on Pegasus.
The residents began to freak out as they saw the countless Pegasus coming.
“They’re coming in already!?”
“Wouldn’t we bombard them for another hour or two no matter what we did?”
“We have to evacuate quickly before those guys come!”
But apart from the residents being scared, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
‘Ugh… Thank god. ‘It would be much better to fight.’
No matter how worried Midwinter and Namgung Yuha are about me, they won’t stop me from being active even in this situation.
I leisurely prepared to summon the gravedigger using the spirit summoning technique.
However, the moment I was about to summon the gravedigger, I heard someone shouting again.
“Uh? Hey, look over there!”
“?”
Curious again, I stopped the spirit summoning spell and looked in the direction Jumin pointed.
Elves flying on Pegasus.
But one of those elves…
“Ho, you’re rushing here alone?”
It was flying towards us at such an incredibly fast speed that it would be no exaggeration to say that it was the speed of a meteor shower.
The elves behind were also eagerly following the elf flying in front.
‘Are you crazy about achievements?’
Thanks to having met elves before, I was able to roughly understand their ecology.
A race where a rank once decided lasts a lifetime.
Once a royal, always a royal, once a noble, always a noble, and once a commoner, always a commoner.
As a result, making achievements was the only way to improve the quality of life.
However, as the lead elf’s features gradually caught my eye, I was slowly able to dispel the illusion.
‘Huh? That elf… ?’
It looks like something I’ve seen before somewhere.
While we were looking at the elf, wondering if anything, the Pegasus the elf was riding stopped about 300 meters away from us.
And the elf who stopped like that screamed in anger at me.
“Seongsuho!!! I finally found it!!! ‘I will kill you with my sword today!!!’
The identity of the elf who roared in anger…
“… “Chunsik?”
It was the guild-on that won the title of Yggdrasil’s first male elf.
