◈ Strategy – Flow (3)
The main force is moving in the back of the Red Hawk mercenaries. I wanted to check Desaruuk’s form, but I couldn’t see his location from this side. It is only assumed to be in the rear.
“like. I will do it now.”
Ellen hugged Liu and squatted down. She then reached out and placed her hand against her magic circle. Whoa! Ellen’s mana flows through the magic circle. The letters written in complex phrases began to brighten with a blue light.
Whoops! When the magic circle appeared, a large flame was created in the air. The small fire grew little by little and was thought to be like the sun.
‘It’s definitely bigger than it used to be.’
I mean, I know it well because I’ve been hit right in front of you.
The blazing heat radiating from all directions is visible. As if to show Ellen’s growth in the meantime, it’s a magic that has developed a few more steps than in the team fight.
“… if you do this here.”
The color of the large flame mass began to change little by little. The color of the burning red mana changes to blue. Soon, a blue haze obscured his vision. [Big Bang] is the application of [Blue Flame] to fire attribute magic.
“Ellen. Are you okay?”
If you use [Blue Flame] as it is without applying any other magic, it’s because that alone puts a strain on your body. Anyway, I’ve just used a lot of magic. I received recovery, but it doesn’t change that it’s unreasonable.
Ellen answered, focusing on the magic circle.
“It’s okay to use the magic circle. I’ll shoot you now.”
Whoa! As soon as the words were finished, [Big Bang] floated in the air and moved. Whenever it moves, it leaves a blue flame in the place it passed. The speed gradually increased and the [Big Bang] began to fall toward the city center.
It’s like a meteor shower
[Water Shield] appeared in front of him in case of any unforeseen circumstances. Although it was far away, it was because the aftermath of the magic that covered it with blue flames was not expected.
profit! You can see the surrounding buildings melting from the heat even though they haven’t touched it yet.
As [Big Bang] got closer to the city center, the steel frame of the high-rise building started to collapse.
woohoo! Then, when magic struck the city center, there was a huge explosion. As the vibrations sounded all the way here, I could see the sand and dust bursting out.
Unsurprisingly, the aftermath came all the way here. The [Water Shield] installed in front started to get dirty rapidly with flying dust. I could feel the heat from the wind blowing.
As the dust settled a little, a partially evaporated urban landscape appeared. Considering that the original purpose was to block the advance of the demons, it was more like committing terrorism.
Ellen also admired in a small voice as if she was at a loss for words at the scenery she had created. I don’t know if Liu’s luck worked or if she just happened to be like this.
“Hmm. If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to aim for the main unit instead? If I had been hit by that, I think I would have died.”
It was so powerful that such a sound came out of Ahart’s mouth. However, he had a reason for taking the cumbersome method of blocking the path of the main unit.
“…probably not.”
“Desaruuk will not stand still any longer.”
If you aim directly at the main unit with Ellen’s magic, you might go against Desaruk’s intentions. It’s a strange saying, but it’s true. This is because if he intervenes now, there is a high probability that he will do nothing and be annihilated.
‘Because it was enough to throw those demons directly.’
To deal with him is at the Yoosung Academy, where everything is prepared. Fortunately, Ellen has left the road ahead of her in ruins, so either way she gets through or comes back is as if she’s buying time.
Of course, I have a feeling that luck would work, and I would like to drink even that dust and die of bronchial paralysis.
At that moment, Ellen took a deep breath as if she remembered something.
“The mercenaries must have been swept away, but what…?”
“That will be fine. Everyone is wearing the latest equipment, so it will all be filtered out with that kind of dust filter.”
“phew···. That’s fortunate. Can I go join the Red Hawk mercenaries now?”
“no. We must come back now.”
At that, Ellen put on a surprised expression. Now, he must have thought he was heading to the Yoosung Academy with the mercenaries.
“Aren’t you joining the mercenaries?”
“Because I might be drawn to you for nothing. I’m sure Desaruuk is aware of our existence, and maybe he’ll just wait for us to merge and then attack.”
“Ugh. Then what if they attack them?”
Ellen raised Liu and said.
“What if it’s because of this reason that you haven’t been attacked by the main unit?”
“It won’t be because of that.”
“yes? Then what is it?”
I glanced at Noah Park, who was standing next to me. He tilted his head with his eyes indicating what he was looking at as if he felt my gaze.
‘If there’s a problem, it’s because of this guy.’
What I’m worried about is Noah Park.
Although he did not know what information was put into Desaruuk in the original work, he knew that the ‘player’, that is, Noah Park, was a threat to him. So, it was the norm to hide the ‘Main Massacre’ scenario so as not to be seen by the boss.
In other words, it means that you have to go through the process of consuming the power of the gnome and finally making contact with Desaruuk to make it easier to fight.
Even if Desaruuk was aware of the existence of this place, he wouldn’t be able to confirm Park Noah unless he had a clairvoyant.
If he really had that ability due to the increase in difficulty like a dog, it would have been Desaruuk himself, not the three demons earlier, who flew here.
“Well. Just because Desaruuk didn’t attack doesn’t seem like a lucky category. Anyway, I have to leave that to Ryu Seo-yeon.”
I took the custom weapon apart and organized it inside the case. I put it on my shoulder and stood up.
“Ahat-sama will come back with us too.”
“Ah, Jihan-kun. There’s something I didn’t say.”
“The lady’s older sister suffered a head injury. Can she possibly go and heal her?”
Did Ryu Seo-hyun get hurt in the end? His head injury seems pretty serious… I pondered and finally shook my head.
“no. There won’t be anything I can do. Rather, it will eat away the remaining energy. It would be better to be treated at Yoosung Academy as it is.”
The amplification of divine power is also over.
The remaining divine power was also consumed to heal Ahat, so even activating the ‘Gate Breaker’ it was difficult to see the effect. It sounds harsh, but it didn’t really mean anything to me. I don’t know if I make it more dangerous.
Ahat nodded in understanding.
“Hmmm…. I see. Then I’ll join you over there again.”
“Yes? no. It would be better if you go with us. My body is very strained right now.”
“It doesn’t matter. Don’t you know why I should be with the mercenaries?”
Even though Ahat spoke in a group, he could understand what he meant.
‘…you must have a daughter.’
Then I’ll go
“Oh, Mr. See you at the academy.”
“okay. come back first Miss Aiden and Miss Noah Park.”
“take care.”
Ellen spoke and Noah Park nodded her head. Ahat soon again manifested the magic of the wind attribute and jumped off the roof.
‘…you can learn that later.’
If this scenario was over, I had an idea that came to my mind to attack the tower in the future. For that, it may be necessary to inherit the wind attribute.
‘Anyway, this later.’
The urgent fire was extinguished, so I had to go back to the Yoosung Academy to make final preparations. Ellen got up with Liu and asked.
“But how do we get back?”
“Are you going to run?”
Jenna Walkers’ gate was a one-way street. In the end, the only way to come back is to run hard with your feet.
Then Ellen’s expression turned pale.
“what’s the matter. no problem? You’ve also developed a lot of stamina.”
“I couldn’t exercise because I was busy becoming a manager…?”
“Okay. Let’s go running together after a long time.”
You must first go down from this building.
Loud noises from outside. Hearing this, Dae-soo Lee closed his eyes as if in pain.
Besides Lee Dae-soo, other people were also evacuated indoors. This was a safe space for the general public prepared for the Yoosung Academy.
It has become increasingly difficult for the non-Awakened to live. Now the safe zone is gone. If only there were instructors, it would be shameful to hide behind immature children in the costumes of aspiring heroes.
‘What the world is going to be like.’
Koo! At that moment, a loud enough noise rang outside the door to break that contemplation. He was trembling with anxiety, and even the sounds of joyful chattering as if it was not his business stopped altogether.
Because someone was out there. Everyone held their breath and waited for the next reaction.
Aww! The door smashed and someone flew in. He slipped on his back and rolled right in front of Lee Dae-soo. Lee Dae-soo was startled to see his familiar face.
“Are you joking?”
Hong Jae-yu, who was frowned in pain at the voice, raised his head in surprise.
Hong Jae-yu, who looked around hastily, realized that this was an evacuation zone. Rather than aspiring heroes, they were all civilians who were not awakened.
“ha ha ha. Also, the water here is not good. Are you non-Awakened?”
Someone’s voice was heard from the broken door. Soon, a man with a sad sword on his shoulder appeared. Jae-Yoo Hong spit out a curse and got up from his seat and looked at Tenian.
‘Did you intentionally drive me all the way here?’
You may be able to feel the energy of the people around you with the effect of the ghost sword. Hong Jae-yu recreated the two magic swords and muttered.
“Teacher. Are there any other instructors?”
“It seems he didn’t come.”
After the incident broke out, the general public immediately gathered at this evacuation site according to the manual. It wasn’t just once or twice, it was a familiar evacuation. Usually there were heroes in charge of protecting this place, but so far there is no one else.
In Hong Jae-yu’s mind, the thought of the instructor who had just died came to mind. It meant that they were all attacked by the demons who attacked this place. There were a lot of janitors in the vicinity, along with the faculty and staff.
‘Is it because of me?’
The brow frowns. If anyone loses their life here, it will be their own responsibility. Tenian looked at Hong Jae-yu like that and laughed.
“do not worry. I’m not going to take other people hostage for fun.”
There was no reason to refuse. But I didn’t believe it. He’s the one who knows people are here in the first place.
‘If it becomes disadvantageous, he might change his words.’
because that’s magic
Tenian flirted, raised his sword and lowered his stance. Jae-Yoo Hong prepared his nerves for the upcoming shock.
“Is this a place for the general public to evacuate?”
“Ah yes. We should protect it here.”
Then, as if breaking the tension, an infinitely carefree conversation was heard. As if the flow had been disrupted, Tenian frowned and turned his head. There, the Holy Knights and the two leading them were at the forefront.
When Hong Jae-yu found them, his gaze was taken from the awkward combination.
‘what. What combination?’
It was because the former student council president, the saint candidate ‘Astiel Grand’, and the fallen hero, ‘Drakan Beatrice’ were together.
Before long, Drakhan stopped walking. The door to the evacuation area had been destroyed, and there was a magician who looked at him bitterly.
Drakhan grasped the situation and immediately raised his finger.
