Gate (1)
“crazy.”
I’m not looking in vain. Red magic was leaking out from the sky engraved with gold. It was a harbinger of the appearance of the gate in the original work.
I hurriedly got up and looked around. Not only the people in the cafe, but also the people walking outside the window were unaware of the strange phenomenon that was taking place in the sky.
He must have been unable to see that scene.
‘Is [insensitivity] effective in this way?’
The 51st perk of ‘Necromancer’s Assault’, [Sensitivity], seemed to have an effect in the form of showing not only the senses but also what was happening with my eyes.
I’m sure that’s where the gate will be created. Then the Ego Sword murmured.
[Gate…?]
Hey, it’s a feeling, but does this guy see that too? Fortunately, cooperation can be sought without explanation.
I said with the ego sword on my shoulder.
“Can you see it too? It seems that the gate is about to appear.”
[This is nonsense. This is a safe zone under the protection of the tower. There can be no such thing as a gate.]
The ego sword, who maintains my pace, also made an embarrassing voice.
It must be an unacceptable situation since he has been living for a long time. However, he did not intend to waste time, so he pointed to the sight he was also looking at. The red magic was gradually becoming clearer.
“Then what do you see?”
Ego Sword couldn’t answer that question. It was because he could not accept it rationally, but instinctively understood what was going to happen.
‘The first thing is certain.’
The protection of the tower is that it has not yet collapsed.
If that was the case, the blue sky should have already been dark like ‘outside’ and the red moon should have risen.
Should I be lucky that the tower’s protection hasn’t disappeared? Since it was a hardcore difficulty, I had in mind the situation in which the protection of the tower would collapse regardless of the flow of the story. Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like such a plausible thing to happen.
‘The event itself in which the gate appears in the safety zone in the first place is too much.’
[But how do you know that?]
“later. Let’s think about it now.”
Ego Sword’s questions were overcome and thoughts were organized.
The current situation, which is different from the original, is the degree of erosion coming down from the tower. It may be that he has descended many floors, or that his power is stronger than he thought, and the influence on him may appear externally.
Either way, something bad was going to happen soon.
“uh? what.”
“Are you suddenly hungry?”
As if they felt something strange, the guests in other seats were annoyed as they touched their cell phones. Since there is no communication, the anomaly will spread quickly… but no one will notice that the problem is the effect on the appearance of the gate.
Because the gate had never appeared in this area, protected by the tower, not outside.
Above all, the omens of the gate I saw was at least an A-class. If that suddenly appeared in the middle of the city, it would have caused great damage.
You must move quickly. I packed my bag and went out of the cafe.
“uh? Me, guest!”
The clerk who was bringing drinks from behind shouted, but didn’t have time to explain the situation. I looked around to find Ryu Seo-yeon, who came out on the street.
‘Ok. Have you already gone…’
Ryu Seo-yeon had already gone somewhere.
shit. I was trying to get help from someone I could trust. He had no choice but to hold onto someone and ask.
“How much time do you think you have left until the gate?”
[Probably 30 minutes.]
It’s tight too. There is not enough time to even explain the situation, let alone find someone to take him.
“there. you!”
“Yes, yes?”
“Am I in the high school student council? Come here for a second.”
When I called, the aspiring hero in the middle school uniform who was passing by the shelter flinched. He looked frightened, but he couldn’t help it.
“Listen. Did I memorize your name now? You have to make sure you do what I tell you. Okay?”
“Yes Yes······.”
It seems like you are doing something impossible, but the situation is the situation. He only moved after telling the guy who was dying of spirit and telling him to deliver it. Fortunately, the bag had the equipment without having to go to the hostel.
It’s uncomfortable to wear a school uniform, but I can’t help it.
[Are you planning to go there?]
“uh. Now or too late.”
[Which way are you going? Even an Awakened person with an excellent body is difficult within 30 minutes.]
“don’t worry. I have a good ride.”
He hurriedly moved towards the training ground. Before long, in the wide grass in front of the training ground, I was able to find a treasured spirit creature.
Besides, I saw Aiden feeding Sumie at the same time.
As I ran, shouting my name with joy, Aiden saw me and stood up. thank god. You can still take Aiden with you.
“that is great! Come with me.”
“Uh. Are you here to exercise?”
“Then where shall we go together?”
“To close the gate.”
Leaving Aiden for a moment, who tilted his head and smirked, he stroked the nape of Sum-i’s neck.
“I’m sorry, can you pick someone up? It is to save the world.”
profit! Sumie cries and nods her head confidently.
‘Whoa. Still, the worst has been avoided.’
Then, let’s pay some price for the food we’ve eaten.
“hello? Ace…”
flutter. The sound of flipping papers and an angry high-pitched voice filled the student council room.
Astiel puts a smartphone that doesn’t answer calls. And I looked out the window to see if Seo Ji-han was coming. The sun was shining and it was hot, but it was nice to have a cool breeze coming in.
Then I heard a scream from behind. When I turned around, I saw Chae Yoo-ah lying on the paper. Astiel sighed and said with a bitter laugh.
“Get some rest. If Jihan comes later, you can have him do it. Did you teach me everything?”
At those words, Chae Yoo-ah got up. Remove the paper because it is stuck to the arm.
“It is, but it must have been that I was used to this amount of work.”
“I can’t leave these things to anyone else. I have to get rid of my intuition.”
“···I’m sorry.”
did you eat too much
Astiel tried to recall his memories in a moment of guilt, when he heard a knock at the door.
“Oh, Jingayul.”
The one who came in was the student vice president, Jin Ga-yul. Jin Ga-ryul approached with a troubled expression on whether there was a problem.
“I just got a call from the tower, but it was cut off suddenly. Even if I try again, there is no contact. Have you ever come back here?”
“no? There was no such thing. What’s going on?”
“Ron Ahart says he has an urgent visit, but the phone suddenly goes off and doesn’t ring.”
“uh. Are you saying your phone won’t ring?”
When Jin Ga-yul nodded and showed the screen, it was floating because it was an area out of the calling area. Astiel reflexively took out his phone as well. Leaving the currency range was the same for his own.
“···child. Take out your phone for a second. Is yours exploding?”
“Yes? Wait···. No, neither do I.”
something is unusual Astiel rested his chin on his chin for a moment in thought, and then he raised his head and said:
“Well, didn’t you feel anything unusual? There is no report that a suspicious person has arrived.”
“yes. There is no such thing.”
“Ugh. First, I need to inform the instructors of the situation. Maybe you already know something. Communication doesn’t work, but the school phone is connected to a landline, so it’s probably possible. Let’s do the work later, and deal with the situation now.”
smart. As Astiel made a quick judgment, he heard another knock. And the door slowly opens.
“I···. hello.”
The person who crawled in was an aspiring middle school hero.
“Middle school? What’s happen?”
When Astiel asked, the junior, who came in awkwardly, bowed his head and said.
“Hello, Chairman. A senior here called the student council asked me to tell you something…”
“Student Council? Are you talking about a guy with a bad impression?”
“yes? Yes. You look a little rough…”
It is clear that Seo
“What did he say?”
“Well, that’s a strange thing to say. . . . You said you were going to block the gate. He told me to tell them to be prepared to respond quickly.”
Hearing those words, Astiel’s intuition began to warn him.
I couldn’t run on the sidewalk, so I moved at high speed on the shoulder of the road.
─Quick profit!
She screamed and ran down the road. It was faster than a motorcycle, so even the security guard at the front door couldn’t stop us.
“Ahhh!!!”
Aiden screamed, hugging her waist tightly from behind for fear of falling.
“What is this all of a sudden?!”
“Be patient even if you’re shy! I am ashamed too.”
I also hugged Sumie’s neck tightly. The eyes of people passing by at high speed were always directed this way. It would be a bizarre sight to them.
Two aspiring heroes in uniform are riding down the road riding a big, unusual deer. It is a wish that no one filmed it.
“More than that, it’s a gate…. Didn’t you feel wrong?”
“what. Can’t you believe it?”
“Yes? It can’t be. However, the appearance of the gate means that the protection of the tower has disappeared…”
“I hope it’s my mistake too.”
The closer you get to the place where the gate appears, the more creepy sensations rise up your spine at a faster rate. Whether the Ego Sword is feeling it or not, he has not said anything since a while ago.
A-class gates are too much for me and Aiden. It’s not large enough to stop the two of them in the first place.
All you have to do is delay the gate for a while until reinforcements arrive. Even if it was only one minute, it would be effective enough to save people’s lives.
Since he came close, he slowed down a little bit. At that moment, Aiden’s voice, which had calmed down to some extent, was heard.
“If it’s true, I’d be happy.”
“Because there is a Black Hawk around here. Wouldn’t it be convenient to receive private support?”
···Well?
It was then that I realized where the rare place was. The towering building in front of him was studded with a black hawk, the symbol of the Black Hawk.
The place where the gate appeared was the headquarters of the Black Hawk. When I saw a door that strictly controlled entry with a huge iron fence, I got off the mummy.
“This is difficult.”
The gate was located above the building. To do this, they had to go inside the site, but the gate made of iron bars was firmly shut.
“Do I have to go inside?”
He walked over and peered inside through the gap in the front door. And she immediately felt strange.
‘I don’t feel popular.’
It’s strangely quiet, even though it’s not time for work. As if no one was inside.
I said to Aiden, who approached cautiously from behind.
“Aiden. Can you melt this door?”
“Yes? Then you get shot…!”
“It seems like something happened inside. Please do.”
“Mr. Jihan.”
“…isn’t this a trust test?”
He shook his head, meaning no.
“eww···. Instead, you have to be by my side.”
Aiden disliked it, but gently raised a blue flame on his hand. Now that he’s mastered it, he doesn’t even bother.
The door made for security was made of a special alloy, but when it touched Aiden’s blue flame, it began to melt slowly.
profit! As expected, the emergency bell did not ring even though a hole was gradually made for a person to enter. Perhaps it was the influence of the gate, or the machine itself had become stagnant.
“Let’s go in.”
Sumi told me to hide nearby and went inside with Aiden. There was no one guarding the entrance. No matter how much he looked around the large lot, there was not a single person wandering around.
There are rare people and it is cut off from the outside, so it would have been difficult to notice the strangeness if you hadn’t approached me like I did.
“Oh, Jihan. there?!”
I saw people lying on the spot where Aiden was pointing. He quickly approached and checked his consciousness, but although he was unconscious, he was still breathing. He had a gun or other weapon in his arms.
‘Security agent?’
However, there are no signs of any battles taking place nearby. That is, it happened without even realizing it.
Aiden was sure of what had happened, and said with a serious expression.
“Mr. Jihan. This is magic.”
uhm. After all, there is a black hawk at the location where the gate appears, and wizards attack it just in time? It could not be dismissed as just a coincidence that such a mischievous thing happened.
After organizing my thoughts, I came to a dangerous conclusion.
‘Is the gate that appears now artificially created?’
[Seojihan!]
Then the ego sword hurriedly shouted. The perks were activated one beat later than that.
“Ugh…!”
it’s an attack He hurriedly raised his mana and expressed his magic.
Whoops! At that moment, the water that covered the surroundings immediately burst out due to an attack from somewhere. Without saying anything, Aiden immediately moved.
As Aiden wielded flaming flames in both hands, the fire spread across the ground. Whoops! A fire wall rising from the ground with firewood obscured the view.
“Aiden, back.”
I went ahead of Aiden and aimed the Assault Hawk.
Whoops! Before long, even the fire wall was blown away by something. Amidst the blazing heat, someone began to appear.
“…a wizard.”
As Aiden said, the person who appeared in front was wearing a robe. The pattern engraved on the robe is clearly a school that deals with space magic. If that pattern wasn’t fake, he was a top-notch wizard.
[be careful. He is a magician who deals with space magic.]
When the ego sword warned him, he moved his arm. And the moment when a blue light appeared through the gap in the robe.
I pulled the trigger.
