108 – Symbol of Peace (5)
“As expected, self-immolation is very good.”
Libra smiled and stepped into the city.
“Because it is not just one body, there is no need to waste it, and it can be used strategically and effectively like this.”
It was fortunate that I had made a few moves in advance before Gemini locked himself in the room. Thinking about him not wanting to go outside after encountering the brown bear, Libra felt a headache.
‘It’s crazy to take that money and sabotage the business.’
This is why I don’t want to work with monsters. Because they are so faithful to their desires, they calmly do things they would never do if they thought rationally. There are too many guys who act only based on their feelings without any calculations.
“Compared to monsters, people are easier to calculate.”
In front of him were about a hundred soldiers who had been prepared in advance. Each one was a quality product that was close to that of a class A monster.
“I’m glad you escaped. “As a guardian with a hidden identity, you must have a lot of difficulties.”
If anyone had realized that they were bait, the plan would have been ruined. Although Sagittarius’s bombardment is reliable, there is no guarantee that everyone present will not work together to block it.
However, Han Jae-joong and Jo Ayun’s transformation is basically a top secret. It is not easy to transform in front of people who do not know the situation.
Normally, before you can even think deeply about the meaning of Libra appearing in front of you, you will run away, transform behind you, and then come back.
Libra aimed for this.
He puts distance between Red Vega and Han Jaejoong and attacks them before they can cooperate.
It was indeed a reasonable plan. It worked, so it was a reasonable plan.
The traces of the two arrows fired by Sagittarius shaking the city were very impressive. Smoke billowing from afar passed by Libra’s face, as if she had been hit by a missile bombardment.
Pieces of asphalt or bricks that broke easily like cookie crumbs were crushed by his feet and turned into powder.
“You damn bastard. “Power is business.”
Heh, Li Bra sneered lowly and spread the bottom of his right hand upward.
All I offer is capital and a little starlight.
What you get is a more selective and solid barrier than anything else.
It is a barrier that only blocks magical girls, which was also used to trap Red Vega in the past.
While using this, Libra’s defense is weakened and there is a limit of 1 hour, but it is a minor disadvantage.
Even if his defenses are weakened, who will attack him and an hour is enough time to get back from work.
The residents held their breath and looked down at him from outside their windows. Lock the door tightly and cover it with bookshelves. He also held in his hands illegally modified monster suppression grenades and electric shock guns. But they also knew. Tactics like this don’t work on monsters.
“Search. Search through it and find it.”
Some people prayed to God, some prayed that a magical girl would save them, and some even left their last squeeze of joy on the Internet like a blood trail.
Now there seemed to be nothing stopping him.
“Show the truth to the seals that run wild without fear!”
But Libra herself did not think so.
He was watching to see when and what kind of threat would come, with every nerve in his body tense. He had the same attitude as a soldier entering a minefield.
We are on high alert for the Argo Family, the purpose of our invasion here. The other half was due to the person who had just been at the center of the bombing.
‘He probably didn’t die like this.’
The bombing just now was both a process of dealing with a troublesome enemy and an ordeal for the self-proclaimed guardian.
Can we survive this bombing? Only those who can properly resist an unexpected attack are those who are worthy of making the most just sacrifice.
And maybe he will come back alive. Libra was confident, not doubtful.
Because he had survived the danger of death several times, he was even more wary.
In addition, I recently gained new powers and it has become even more bothersome.
But you can’t ruin the work just because of boundaries. Libra’s bronze monsters began to search the city like rats.
People gathered in earnest, leaving dark footprints on the road covered in all kinds of dust and smoke. Of course, it was a forced method.
All the buildings were entered and the people who were quietly holding their breath were dragged out to the streets where the acrid afterimage of destruction remained.
The work went smoothly. Even if he resisted, it was impossible to harm the good of ordinary people and monsters.
“Please save me!”
“f*ck you! Don’t you let go? “Why don’t you let go, you bastards!”
“Uh-huh… Mom… Mom…”
Chaos mixed with begging, swearing, and wailing. Regardless of age or gender, all people were dragged out and displayed on the streets. In less than three minutes, about thirty people gathered and knelt on the debris-strewn road.
“You can’t overlook it.”
The Argo family suddenly appeared in Korea one day. I am not interested in the grand history of why they, who were active in the United States, suddenly came to this country, what their purpose was, etc.
But if they come here and cause trouble, the story is different.
They claim to be recruiting colleagues and are kidnapping people without permission and inviting them to become their colleagues.
A declaration of war that will increase power no matter who sees it.
It was an attitude that could not be overlooked by Libra, which controls all of Asia.
Location was also a problem. Around D5 o’clock, the city was in a safe zone. But it’s not a one-time disappearance, it’s a continuous disappearance.
“There is no commercial morality. “How can we not know that monsters can achieve their goals safely by creating the minimum necessary safety zone?”
From noble mtl dot com
In order to maintain the ecosystem, a human protection zone must be created. Because the moment humans become insufficient, it’s monsters that get in trouble.
Compared to the number of monsters, humans are too few and weak.
The rumor that the Argo Family has secretly declared this city as their territory and that their associates are hiding among the people is famous in the underworld.
If we leave the Argo Family alone, countless cases similar to this city will arise in the future. According to them, this is only the first area.
“So, come out. It’s my last mercy. Make a pact with me now. I will count to ten. “If no action is taken during that time, this city will be destroyed today.”
It’s unfortunate, but it makes sense to put this city on the scales as a sacrifice.
No organization would stand still when their territory and colleagues were attacked. Clearly something will have to be done.
You will have no choice but to show your face from your safe hiding place.
“If you want to save your fellow candidates, come out. Otherwise, I will kill the people in front of me one by one.”
Libra took out a handsome golden pistol from her bosom and pointed it at the young man in front. He looked haggard, as if he hadn’t eaten properly for several days.
“One.”
And, there was one person who was overhearing all this. He was a person who did not belong to those whom Libra was wary of.
‘What, what…?!’
Orange Altair. She was the one who got upset and left after Jo Ah-yoon told her to leave. She was wandering around the city even after going outside the cafe. As soon as she heard a loud noise in the city, she transformed and moved to find her sniping location.
As soon as a suitable building was found, the city was bombarded and Libra’s army invaded. The barrier that she doesn’t know what she saw before is a bonus.
‘Coming out… Is my story, right?’
And she was sorely mistaken.
“Two.”
‘As for colleagues, it’s a day… And. Ayun. Let’s talk about our cute pink one.’
“Three.”
‘Oh, as expected! There’s no way that b*tch could die that easily! ‘I guess the reason I’ll save you is because you’re alive, right?’
After the bombing hit, she immediately checked the location, but there was nothing to see. There wasn’t even a body. Literally, there was no trace of anyone.
“Four.”
‘Then where are you now? There are traces of catching it somewhere…’
Orange Altair guessed that the reason was because Libra secured them first. She literally checked them out right after the bombing, but how they got them faster than she could have been anyone’s guess….
Because he is a monster.
For this reason alone, I was able to understand most nonsense.
Of course, this guess is also wrong.
“Five.”
‘No, wait a minute, negotiations? Looking at me? Me, I’m not good at things like that, but I can’t even speak… What do you know, Ai?’
Ayun Jo. He’s short, has a foul mouth, wears unnecessary makeup, and is a foolish kid with no achievements.
But, because we were colleagues. Because they are people.
Apart from the annoyance, I have to save it. After completing her own rationalization, Orange Altair brought her body out of hiding.
“Six.”
“Yes, yes!”
There is no possibility of defeating Libra alone. Each and every monster over there is Grade A or higher. I was confident that I would lose before I even sorted them out. I don’t want to rebel against anything in the first place.
Orange Altair was prepared to lose before fighting, and she decided how best to face defeat.
“Orange Altair, I am here!”
“Hey, it’s a magical girl! “We survived!”
Some citizen muttered that. Unfortunately, they will live in a different direction than they expected. Orange Altair laughed bitterly.
“A venue for negotiations as promised….”
“Seven.”
“Can’t you hear me?!”
Of course Libra didn’t care. She couldn’t have predicted that there would be another magical girl hiding, but she couldn’t care less.
Although Magical Girl Starlight’s growth has been rapid recently, it was nothing to worry about. It is obvious that we will be defeated without even being able to eliminate half of the monsters here.
No problem. The assassin who was supposed to be shot from behind appeared proudly in front. It’s no different from crazy.
“Eight.”
“Hey, hey! “Why won’t you stop!”
Libra didn’t stop counting. Orange Altair shouted in panic.
“Nine.”
“Hey. Hey….”
With Libra’s attitude so firm, Orange Altair realized something was wrong with her.
While I was perplexed, my body pulled the bowstring without delay.
“Hey, hey! “Why don’t you stop?”
The taut string vibrated once, and the arrow flew towards Libra’s pistol, drawing a beautiful trajectory.
“Ten.”
Libra pulled the trigger of her pistol without delay, but the bullet that erupted from the muzzle of her gun did not even miss her head. An arrow struck her bullet just before it reached her head.
Libra looked at her with her displeased attitude.
“Do not disturb.”
“Well, what’s the problem! Why don’t you stop! I came out! Oh, my, is my attitude the problem? This attitude and tone of voice? Well, should I change it then? Do you even kneel? “What should I do?”
Orange Altair almost cried. She let her tears pass and her butterflies flew.
Not one butterfly, but a hundred butterflies. All those butterflies sit on the forehead of Libra’s bronze monster.
“What. “Don’t ask the obvious.”
Soon, a thunderbolt like divine punishment struck.
“Stay confident.”
Hojeopjikak (胡蝶之脚).
A blade-like angle struck the heads of all the monsters that the butterfly touched.
The thunderbolt burned Libra.
“You did the right thing.”
A person walked out from the place where the lightning struck. Watcher. He was a monster who was attracting attention as the most dangerous monster recently. There was another monster on his shoulder, looking limp as if he had fainted.
“The sound of falling land prices can be heard a thousand miles away.”
He burst into anger, swinging an ax similar to his own body. The form of anger was a cold and vivid thunderbolt.
“Are you guys going to take responsibility for our store? These damn monsters…!”
The voice was small and inaudible, but it looked like the most furious person I had ever seen.
