◈ Relics (4)
“sleep.”
Albain handed the handkerchief he had. It is a plain white handkerchief without any patterns.
“It’s a handkerchief with blessings, so you should wrap it with this and keep it.”
Since the saint gave the blessing herself, the effect of the bullets will not be damaged. I wrapped the bullet in a handkerchief and put it in my arms. It was clean enough to have a holy relic.
“thank you. I will wash it and bring it to you.”
“Fufu. I love it, so please return it. Are you leaving right now?”
“Yes. You have to prepare in advance.”
“Then… wait a minute.”
Albain came up to me and reached out and touched my forehead. The light came on for a moment, and I felt the fatigue accumulated in my body disappear. Soon I was more energetic than usual. It is thanks to the saint who blessed me.
Albain took a step back and said.
“This is all I can do. I handed over my authority to Astiel. I’ll have to go there myself, but the situation is the situation…”
“haha. Do not worry. You will do well.”
I guess I’m worried about how the princess will come out.
Even if a coalition is created by building a power, the imperial family is directly involved in the role of a princess named Yuria. Since the saint, the representative of the temple, cannot come, she must be anxious about how she will move forward.
Naturally, I am not in a position to represent the temple. To be honest, it’s an academy…
‘That’s not what’s important.’
Among current aspiring heroes, there will be those who wish to belong to the top faction, no matter the current situation. Especially if there is a guild to belong to.
The picture I want is for the guild and the mercenaries to join us on their own.
If it is a combination of factors such as the union of the Imperial Family and the temple and the unstable movement of the tower powers, there are many possibilities. However, even considering that, it is clear that the power of a ‘magic’ is required to climb the tower. That should depend on Ellen and Ahat.
When I returned from the warehouse, Astiel was waiting. He feels popular and turns around this way.
“Come quickly. did you get it?”
Instead of answering, I opened my handkerchief and showed the bullets I had placed in it. For reference, the feeling is different from the Christmas I made.
If Christmas is a condensed divine power, it can be said that this is light itself, or it can be viewed as a higher level compatibility.
“Is that a bullet?”
“yes. I’d rather have a gun.”
If it had been a gun rather than a bullet, it would have had the power of ‘sealing’ in itself, so it would have been a form of stacking up every time it was fired. As I grumbled, Astiel grinned.
“There must be a reason for that. Because this is a sacred thing.”
“Wow…. How does the president know that?”
“What are you talking about? I am a candidate for a saint, and I know all that.”
“Oh, right.”
sounded stupid
“But, Madame. Shouldn’t we take more knights with us?”
Astiel looked at the saint next to me. Albain put on an embarrassed expression at those words.
“I’d like to, too, but there’s no such thing as a minimum number of troops already. The paladins who have been guarding this place all night have barely changed, so they need a break.”
“Hmm. But no one. I’m telling you to rush. It is said that the immortal demon is coming in with his army.”
“No, no, no. it’s okay.”
I insisted there was no need for that. Basically, mercenaries are more accustomed to dealing with demons than paladins. Still, it’s difficult for them, who are basically wearing heavy armor, to deal with quick Mine.
In particular, if the hardcore and Hell mode were overlapped, Main’s formidable physical ability would have made it impossible to believe even the heavy armor. Maybe I’ll just tear it apart like paper.
‘In the end, there is no choice but to die.’
As long as they’re trying to get to the safe zone, you’ll have to drive them out eventually. All you have to do is to succeed and reduce the number of damage. Even if the number of priests was large, the blessings did not overlap. Rather, the appropriate number of people was effective.
“There are already Imperial Knights and there are other heroes. Yoosung Academy also has a lot of power.”
“Ummm…. Yes, though.”
Astiel still didn’t seem to care, but I pushed my back forcibly.
“hey. Don’t push…!”
“It’s true because it’s true. Lady. Then we will go.”
As she nodded her head, the saint smiled bitterly and said.
“yes. See you again in good health. Be careful, Astiel.”
Astiel and I left the temple and headed straight for the portal. Astiel tapped his elbow on my side.
“Why did you dry it?”
“Then why don’t you stop?”
“…it’s not that, the imperial knights and the temple must have the same number of troops to make a good point.”
Ah, was it that kind of stubbornness? I answered, rubbing my tingling side.
“It’s okay. If it was a princess, how the president came out would be more important than the number of troops.”
“Ugh… I feel sick all of a sudden.”
“Come now, what’s the tension?”
In response to my answer, Astiel grabbed her stomach to see if there was any tension. Arthur Gran was the one who acted as the representative of the temple as the deputy of the saint so far, right?
“what. Come to think of it, it looks like Lord Arthur is still on the front line?”
“yes. It will come down at the end.”
uhm. I don’t know about anyone else, but it would be a great help if I had Arthur Grang…, that’s a pity.
There was something Red Hawk overlooked. The mines they have been hunting so far are like bulldozers that run wild without intelligence. It’s not exactly wrong. Because most of the demons were like that.
However, the demons without such intelligence were now slaughtered. In the meantime, the erosion of the outside has become deeper and wider due to various factors. The demons surviving outside undergo changes once again in the environment, and those who survive have become stronger.
Therefore, it was said that there was nothing strange about recognizing the ‘means to counter the attack’ possessed by the mercenaries and knowing how to neutralize them.
Gunshots broke the silence and rang like crazy. And in the noise came a lighthouse.
“Kah ha ha! Shoot more, you bastards!!!”
“It’s tickling.”
The number of demons who entered the headquarters was only two. It wasn’t a big deal, but as his soldiers responded, fears gradually grew.
‘Shake. Nonsense···!’
At the same time as the explosion, only sparks flew out of them. Hundreds of shell casings fell to the floor, but there were no wounds yet. This level of firepower meant that they could not penetrate their bodies. It had a different level of durability than the demons he had faced so far.
“ha ha ha! It doesn’t mean that the road hasn’t been cleared yet.”
“Stop laughing. noisy.”
The appearance of the two demons was contrasting. One had a face that reminded him that the situation was funny, and the other had a calm face. What they have in common is that they are still unaffected by bullets hitting their whole body.
“My name is Ragnan. This guy is Sarn. Is there anyone who can stop us?!”
A demon who called himself Ragnan lifted the smashed piece off the floor. And she threw it all the way straight ahead.
Whoops! The sound of a burst of air shook the building.
The results of the roar were disastrous. The soldiers gathered in one place were swept away by the fragments and died. The thick body armor he was wearing was of no use.
A soldier who barely escaped death by his side lowered his gun and slumped to the floor. Ragnan muttered with an absurd expression as if steam had leaked.
“Huh, what is it? no fun They are all non-Awakened.”
“Why, again? Ugh?!”
Suddenly Sarn kicked Ragnan. As Ragnan staggered to the side, a gigantic cannonball sprinted past the place one beat later.
Aww! The shells that deviated outward lit up the dark outside with a roar.
“Shake. avoid it.”
The owner of the voice was coming down the stairs.
“Are you all?”
Koo! Ryu Seo-hyun dropped the bazooka he was carrying on his shoulder. Saerun shifted his gaze from the bazooka that fell on the floor to Ryu Seo-hyun.
“Well. You must be the captain here.”
“Ts. I see more.”
Ryu Seo-hyun immediately shouted at the radio saying there was nothing to think about.
“I got caught anyway, so I tell you to secure your sight. Light it up!”
click. At that order, lights began to come on from the exterior walls of the building. As the bright lights illuminated the surrounding area, the soldiers took a breather at the scenery they saw.
An uncountable figure was approaching from afar. Even more suffocating was that none of them came running.
Ragnan looked at where the soldiers’ eyes were headed and clicked his tongue.
“Ew. Have you already come that far? There is no time to relax.”
“Then don’t hurry. You deal with bastards.”
Saerun turned his head and took a step forward.
“You’re the captain, so you’re different from these guys.”
Ryu Seo-hyun, who instinctively sensed a crisis, tried to raise the gun urgently, but it was too late. Sarn, who had already rushed in front of his nose, grabbed his helmet.
“what. Were you also a non-Awakened person?”
Awkward! The helmet is slowly dented. At the sound of the helmet leaking, Sarne frowned.
Ryu Seo-hyun felt the pressure on his head, and he felt blood spurt out. It was certain that his skull would break and die at this rate. But when Saerun suddenly let go of his hand, Ryu Seohyun, who fell to the floor, reflexively grabbed the crumpled helmet.
The reason for the whim was simple.
“under. There was an Awoken!”
Although he was distracted by Saerun’s words, he raised his head. In the cracked view, I saw Ryu Seo-yeon coming down the stairs.
“That idiot… Seoyeon…”
I tried to shout to get out of this place, but in that brief moment, my mouth couldn’t move at will, as if I had suffered a head injury.
“Please, I beg you to be different.”
Saerun moved as fast as before. She momentarily approached Ryu Seo-yeon and this time swung her foot towards her head. Her two swords crossed to break her trajectory.
Wow! Ryu Seo-yeon, pushed by force, collides with the wall. As soon as her blade pierced, she almost missed her sword.
‘···shit. I didn’t see it.’
It doesn’t feel real, but I almost died.
The guard from earlier was an instinctive action that the body moved on its own. It was either because of Liu’s luck, or because of his experience as an aspiring hero.
My heart was pounding like crazy, but Ryu Seo-yeon pretended to be calm and took a stance again and looked at Sa-reun.
“Still, it is worthwhile to come early.”
A twinkle fluttered in Saerun’s eyes at that sight. He doesn’t seem like he’s going to run right away. Ryu Seo-yeon, ignoring the pain she felt on her shoulder, shouted.
“What are you doing! Take her sister to another place quickly!”
“ah···. Oh yes!”
Ragnan shouted as the nearby soldier overcame his fear and was about to move.
“Whoever wants to move!”
Ragnan, who was uncomfortable to plant, swung his arm as Sarn had gone his own way. The power to shatter if touched. It was so fast that a wind blew in the fist towards the soldier’s head.
But the wind was not the wind pressure from Ragnan.
Quang! A strong wind from somewhere easily blew Ragnan off the wall.
“…hmm. two?”
It’s an oddly angry tone. Despite the chaotic situation, it was a voice that could be heard by everyone as if emphasizing it.
It was then that Ryu Seo-yeon felt relieved.
“Are you all right, lady?”
When Ahat approached and asked a question, Seo-yeon Ryu nodded her head vigorously. 2v2 with this. number was the same.
Ryu Seo-yeon, who held two swords firmly, asked.
“Which one will Ahat-san be in charge of?”
“…what are you talking about?”
Ahart grabbed Ryu Seo-yeon’s shoulder and dragged her backwards, moving forward.
“The lady will ask for the child. I am crying right now.”
“Yes? Ho, you want to deal with it alone?”
Ryu Seo-yeon, perplexed, asked a question. He was saying that he was going to face two demons alone that even the modified armor-piercing rounds did not work.
I knew Ahat was strong, but there was no way the wind could pierce that hard skin.
“Ah ha ha ha ha!!!”
“Are you a wizard? I mean, that’s arrogant too. I don’t know what confidence you have.”
Ragnan, who came out of the wall, laughed, and Sarne stared at him. Still, Ahat just snorted.
“It has to be. Yesterday alone, dozens of people like you were slaughtered.”
The head of the wind attribute, Ron Ahart.
To him, those two were on par with the guys who took over the Black Hawk.
I returned to the 25th floor again with the direct ticket I borrowed from Ellen before leaving. But the closer she got to her round table, the more uncomfortable she felt.
“Hey, isn’t this a cry?”
“Can you hear the president too?”
It must have been my mistake or Astiel’s ears.
For some reason, there was a sad sound from inside the round table. He made eye contact with Astiel for a moment and hurriedly went inside.
“what is this sound? Whatever the problem…”
It was only when I went to the round table that I was able to find the cause of the problem.
“Uh-huh. Noah···!”
There was Olivia Roa on her knees. He is holding Park Noah, who is sitting in her chair, and squeezing her tears and runny nose.
Even Park Noah couldn’t shake it off, but she seemed disliked, and with an expressionless expression, she pulled her upper body to the side and somehow reduced contact.
“ah. Are you here?”
“How did he come?”
Ellen laughed at my question and shook the whale.
“I don’t know. Even if I felt it, it came to me like a ghost.”
“…it’s kind of scary. It is dawn now.”
It sounds like you came here after feeling Noah Park’s energy while sleeping. Had she had her holy sword, she would have been muttering creepy in her head.
“It’s better. You can ask him to take over the 25th floor for a while.”
“Well? What are you talking about?”
Ellen smiled brightly at my question.
“It is said that he is an immortal magician. Then don’t you need more of my blue sores?”
Immortality is ultimately accompanied by regenerative power. Besides, if it was a Magician, it would have more superhuman regenerative power.
If it’s blue fever, I’ll suppress it, so if Ellen accompanies it, it’ll be helpful…
“You are the manager. Are you okay?”
Perhaps it meant not to worry, Ellen tapped the cape around her shoulder.
“Because managers are not criminals. It would be a violation of responsibility to keep watching this place.”
“…it’s good. thank you.”
“Hi-Hi. What.”
When she expressed her gratitude honestly without hesitation, Ellen had a satisfied expression on her face.
[Quest: ‘Mine Runaway’]
As if waiting, I looked at the system that appeared in front of me.
I wasn’t as upset as I used to be. ‘Cause I’ve already done everything to prepare.
