189 – Between Names (1)
A faint scarlet light began to rise in one corner of the dark shadow of dawn. Morning started to come.
When the birds killed the silence of the night and the dew under the eaves slowly trickled down, turning the sweet chestnuts green, several people who had made it a habit to wake up early woke up one by one.
Those who had been awake before that time were also welcoming the signs of the sunrise together.
“Give up now, you damn things!”
The archer took a deep breath. The aftereffects of my back injury still remain. Normally, there was no way I would have been exhausted from this fight, but this time, my stamina was quickly drained due to the aftereffects.
“f*ck… Damn it….”
Also, there was a reason why the battle between the two magical girls was better than expected.
Red Vega, who already had a record of blocking the archer’s arrow, was able to block the attack more easily than the last time, and the amount of magical energy trained to the limit allowed him to demonstrate the art of attacking even while defending.
“You can’t do that!”
For example, by distorting the flame spread with a shield and shooting it out like a spear.
Red Vega originally had a habit of wrapping flames around his legs or fists and attacking his opponents with martial arts, but the use of flames has increased.
The archer has memories of someone who uses that kind of attack method.
‘…Did you learn something from that little b*tch?’
Magenta Helios. A magical girl kid who called herself Kimu. She is his fighting method. A unique method of using magic that controls flames to the limit.
Just because Red Vega was annoying doesn’t mean that Orange Altair behind him was the best friend.
An arrow pierces through the gap between the flames that fill the field of vision.
‘He learned that from me.’
An obstacle that blocks direct vision is nothing in front of the archer’s eyes. However, since it is a time of battle, you cannot pay attention to all directions and everywhere. When a threat comes, you must avoid it, and when you attack, you must concentrate.
She was focused and aimed at the small blind spot in her field of vision.
The power was not that great, but the accuracy was at a level that could not be ignored. Gradually becoming more sophisticated.
“Ah, well… Well, you are the one to step down!”
Is this a survival instinct? It seemed as if he was squeezing out as much of his talent as it had dried up in the face of a great crisis in his life.
The archer knows. That bow jab b*tch is not a genius. It is impossible to complete an arrow that bends freely in one night.
I can only assume that he has probably been practicing repeatedly to use such techniques for a long time.
So, the technique she is showing now is close to the form in which her long-term practice has been completed as an inspiration.
The inspiration, of course, was Archer himself.
‘You are only doing good things for others.’
There were other reasons why the archer could not defeat those magical girls.
“Botis! What are you doing!”
Botis. It was because she was passive in her attacks.
Even if it leads to a crisis, there is no end in sight. Like a shepherd herding sheep, it only makes them move around but does not take their lives.
It even gives the illusion that he is actually protecting them like a real shepherd.
“f*ck you! Did horns grow from the brain?! “What are you going to do? Do it right!”
The archer was nervous. If things continue like this, he will miss the guy.
Defeat all scorpions and take their lives. Power, memories, everything. You get something you shouldn’t have.
Among them, the only thing he deserves is his own lifespan. Power and the lives of others are unnecessary.
Even his lifespan is the result of his own foolish use of power, and as a result, he has nothing he deserves.
What could be more terrifying than the power given to an unqualified person? What meaning is there in using force without knowing responsibility? It is no different from an animal.
I wish I had just died.
But that guy is incredibly talented and resourceful, so he will definitely be able to complete the scorpion hunt in one night. He must stop this.
“We have to get rid of those guys! “Do what you have to do!”
After hearing the archer’s angry sound, Botis put down his greatsword for a moment and sighed.
“It is you. “Is this really what you should do?”
Her tone of voice was colder than usual. She spoke in a tone similar to that of a parent scolding her child.
The archer felt frustrated. Of course this is my job. Killing the undeserving. What is the problem with removing obstacles for this purpose?
“I’m going to go crazy. Okay, that’s it. “Why don’t I do it alone?”
There is nothing we can do. I was planning to save the power to catch Han Jaejoong, but since it was delayed this long, that’s it.
The archer took a deep breath and pulled the string. Her arrow began to contain starlight that seemed as if it might explode at any moment.
A single arrow contained murderous intent from twelve directions, and it flew wild as if it could overthrow the world. Madness slowly seeps into the arrow.
His proud special move.
Gaeseilsa (蓋世一射).
“Get out of the way, you bastards.”
I said it as a final courtesy.
“No, you can’t get out of the way.”
However, what came back was a strong refusal.
If it were any other attack, there would be no power left to block this special move. Red Vega herself must have known this, but she did not back down.
Orange Altair’s doctor also looked similar.
“Why?”
“Do you need a reason to save someone?”
Red Vega answered as if it were obvious. She ended up saying no.
The archer removed his hand in protest.
One arrow split into twelve branches, causing explosions in all directions. Red Vega looked around at the flames, but she was of no use. Each of those arrows was like a missile. No matter how much she did, it wasn’t enough for her.
Boom! Quagwagwang! A devastation as if a bomb had fallen from the air.
After the explosion ended and the smoke stopped, the two girls were seen rolling on the ground with their transformation canceled.
“That’s why I told you to get out of the way. Jerk the.”
The archer clicked her tongue and lightly passed by the spot where they had fallen. What can stop him? All that was left for the child who had found his purpose was his characteristic reckless execution.
Han Jae-joong was the first target of Archer, a qualification examiner who was stricter than passport control, and the great step to kill him was about to begin.
The ground shook.
“…What is it?”
Vermilion slowly pushed away the dawn that was a mixture of navy blue and light pink. The scarlet color went a little higher and turned white, soon becoming the clear sky. Dawn.
It was when the sun rose and the sky regained its color.
Everyone looked up at the sky.
It was because there was something blocking the sky.
Something I couldn’t tell if it was a knight or a robot was so huge that I couldn’t see it without looking.
It was as strong as a statue. However, for a statue, it did not commemorate or symbolize anything, and its size was so huge that it looked like a useless hideous object.
In fact, its appearance was also hideous.
It looks like an article was created using bugs as a design motif, and the article was reinterpreted as a robot. Smooth armor with an ominous purple tone. The armor has many unnecessary decorations, making it difficult to move. In particular, the freedom of the joints seems to be extremely small. However, this may soon lead to a dull taste that may lead some to express their admiration.
In other words, it was a design that would elicit feelings of disgust or incomprehension from all but a few people.
Floating above the article was a window that was almost the same size as the article. It was a spear with a short handle and a long blade, like a jousting spear. What’s unusual is that the end is slightly curved. Perhaps that’s why it somehow reminded me of a scorpion’s tail.
Most people tilted their heads wondering what that was, and those who knew what had entered Korea were astonished.
The body of a scorpion.
The beast, bathed in sunlight and showing off its might, immediately raised the spear next to it.
Ominous starlight emanated from the spear and enveloped the right hand, and soon the spear and arm were completely combined. The right arm itself became a spear, and it soon assumed a stabbing stance.
Then, people who didn’t know what was going on were shocked and started running away. I had no choice but to know through instinct. Everyone had enough intelligence to relate this to the countless incidents and accidents committed by monsters that they had felt and seen in their lives so far.
Running now was the best option they could make, but it wasn’t a particularly good move.
The length of the window is approximately 100m. It was about the size of a large building. Most people did not have the speed to run 100 meters in an instant, and even if they had the physical strength, it was of no use to the people inside the building. Even if he had been outside in the first place, the result would not have changed.
The prepared spear was powerfully thrown out. The wind pressure alone was enough to compact the surrounding area like tofu. In addition, purple starlight erupted from the tip of the spear and swept across the front lines.
A distance well over 100 meters was devastated in an instant.
No one could say anything at the devastation.
It was literally a disaster.
Like a natural disaster, something happened without us having time to do anything about it.
The sky turned dark around the giant knight. The freshness and romance of dawn was not there. All that exists is grotesqueness and hideousness. A color as sticky as ink invaded the clearness of the sky.
The morning, which should have been a busy start to daily life, was stained with blood. The frowning sunlight made me hungry, and it even took away the time to fill my hungry stomach. Suman’s daily life collapsed here.
The mother, who was trying to wake up her child, tripped over a stone while walking with her child, and the father, who was preparing to go to work to feed his wife and children, turned his car around and went back to her house. On the way back, the car overturned.
A teenager who fought with his parents last night and ran away from home instantly became an orphan, and his lover, who happily spent the night with him, ended up being with him even after death. Her daughter, who was smiling as she waited for her father to return in the morning because he was working as a taxi driver, was unable to see him for the rest of her life, and the wife had to suppress her sadness and stand up holding her whining child.
The beast disguised as a knight will continue to take away the daily lives of more people, and will become a disaster on its own, becoming a fisherman who catches people. I plan to save the lives of all people and fill them in my stomach.
He will hunt down the hunters in reverse, and even if he captures a child, he will catch it without releasing it, and he will not stop his ferocity until he takes everything from this world.
“No.”
You can’t leave it like that. This is something that should not be tolerated and cannot be tolerated.
Before delivering the final blow to Odette, who blocked her, Silver Luna stopped her fist and raised her body.
“Has it failed?…”
Odette, who barely managed to avoid being hit, looked blankly at the sky and muttered.
“…It can’t be done, then it can’t be done….”
His throat was clogged with emotions and he could not continue speaking.
Without even hearing her voice, Silver Luna fiddled with her pendant. The diamond-shaped pendant symbolized her heart.
Peace. Her noble and sparkling heart.
“….”
I swallowed dry saliva. I’ve never even heard of a scorpion that looks like that. But the ugly starlight streaming out from there. It must be a scorpion.
Powerful. That was the burden that felt closer to me than the enormity. That energy is more threatening than its size. It’s as if it was created with all the malice in the world. The size of Starlight is incomparable to the monsters he has faced so far, and his spirit is no different.
Silver Luna hid her trembling hands, clutching her pendant tightly.
“…Luna. “You can win, right?”
Yellow Castor’s anxious voice came through the communications.
“Then of course!”
Silver Luna confidently answered her anxiety.
“Because I am the strongest!”
Just as she reassured those who were anxious, she declared that she would not be defeated by anyone.
“…! As expected, Luna!”
Yellow Cassrot’s anxiety turned into hope. She praised her moonlight with anticipation and longing, and Silver Luna laughed heartily as she listened to those expectations.
“Have faith!”
Silver Luna flew in the sky.
When the morning sun rose high, the trace left by the moonlight was only faint.

“Wow… It’s finally here.”
The large monster who was looking out her window straightened out at her. He had a unique fashion style, wearing a suit over his monster body. The suit, which seemed ready to burst at any moment, looked cheap, but it was clearly a high-end product obtained by threatening a suit repairman.
After going through many battles, it was all frayed and torn, making it worse than a cheap suit.
“Hey guys, it’s time.”
Next to the unusual monster, ordinary people wearing identical suits were lined up. The monster leading them reminded me of a gangster rather than a soldier or other expert.
“A great beast has appeared to challenge us.”
He looked out his window and raised his glass. In fact, it wasn’t even outside the window. There was no glass in the window frame and only a gaping void, so it was not suitable to be called a window.
The place where he is standing is a shabby building. All of the unfinished concrete is exposed, and the walls are full of mold. There are spider webs stuck to the ceiling.

But that environment didn’t matter.
Even though he was shabbier than anyone else, he was confident that he would become greater than anyone else.
“Cheers to our dreams!!!”
He and all the gang members shouted a toast and poured the drug in his hand into his mouth.
Argo Family.
The voyage toward their dreams has begun.
