91 – Like Family (2)
Recently, I had only seen scenes of magical girls being harmed, so I made a mistake. I had the illusion that the magical girl was none other than an absolute weakling to the monster.
A magical girl who can grow infinitely. One of her characteristics is that she becomes stronger the more she fights powerful enemies.
‘…I’m going to spin.’
A little over three months after the S-class monsters began their activities in earnest, their power was enough to subdue powerful enemies.
“Anyway… I guess we’re a little late?”
Jo Ayun laughed bitterly.
“Hey Korra (Hey dude)! “Don’t move… yo!”
“Free the brothers…! These witches…!”
Although it took quite a bit of effort to subdue White Davich, who had not yet stepped into her divine omen.
Still, the ice of Blue Sirius, which had subdued the first, was clean and solid with no signs of breaking, and Red Vega’s flames were also stably threatening the second’s neck.
“Oh… No, Watcher, it’s because you wasted time.”
Jo A-yoon urgently corrected his title, which she almost said was his brother, and hit him on the shoulder. As he transformed, his height became similar, so he didn’t even have to tiptoe.
“Oh, it’s hot!”
There was a lightning bolt on my shoulder as usual, and Jo Ayun, who touched it, was startled and fell to the side.
I couldn’t easily laugh at such a playful sight. As she said, the reason for her delay in arriving was entirely her own fault.
Ayun and I can both move at high speeds. If you put your mind to it, you can arrive at the conflict site in less than a second.
But I couldn’t do that this time. We did not attempt an eco-friendly, energy-saving move while worrying about wasting starlight.
Right after I transformed, an abnormal phenomenon occurred where my movements stopped for a moment. It was a side effect I had never experienced before.
The noise of the transformation sound was significantly reduced, but this was never a good sign.
It was a sign of encroachment, not control.
Gradually, I felt like my body was being controlled by something. Rather than delving into the darkness, it seemed as if I was possessed by something. A flash of intensity that blinded me. Unsettling electrical signals.
The disturbing thing that penetrated my heart was as cold as a piece of iron and as sharp as a thunderbolt. As quickly and thrillingly as the transmission of nerve substances, the cold thunderbolt dominated my mind and body.
Emotions are cut off, language functions are lost, muscles relax, and all physiological and life-sustaining functions stop. Still, it moves.
Immediately after my transformation, I felt my heart stop. It was truly like becoming a machine.

I’ve barely been able to shake off that disturbing movement, but I don’t know when it might happen again. This means that, like a person suffering from a rare disease, one must always be afraid of when symptoms will appear.
‘I don’t think I have anything to do today. Now, should I just go back to the place I took refuge in?…’
As I was thinking that, I heard a voice from Belt.
[Quest appears.]
It was a voice that proved that there would not be peace in the future.
“For what purpose are we here…?”
I lightly ignored Blue Sirius’ voice criticizing us, and Belt continued to play a voice that only I could hear.
[Kill all the monsters that come in. If you complete it, you will receive a star fragment as a reward. The penalty for refusal is death.]
There isn’t much time left now. I can’t help it.
“Hey.”
“Huh?”
I whispered so softly that only Jo Ayun could hear.
“Monsters will be coming soon. “Get ready.”
“…What?”
Not long after saying that, a crack appeared in the ice where September was trapped.
Blah, blah, blah. The unsettling sound of ice breaking broke the heavy silence and confrontation and made everyone present here move.
“I trusted you, brother!”
The third person caught by the skeleton stands up,
“Me too.”
The second one raised a large wind in all directions, causing Red Vega to step back for a moment.
The wind even shook Blue Sirius’s balance, and once again slightly deflected her magic that was trying to envelop September in ice.
Hot heat and light, like lava, leaked out through cracks in the ice block that could not be hidden.
Kwagwagwagwang! The heat ray broke the ice and rose high into the sky.
“Hey guys!”
September, firing a cannon, not for offense, but for her remarks, shouted loudly.
“Raise anchor!”
“Yes!”
“I understand!”
The brothers shot their starlight towards the red cannonball soaring high in the sky.
All their starlight met, and a huge explosion occurred.
The sky lit up intensely and brilliantly, like when a chemical reaction occurs. The moon was erased and a new ray of light fell into the night.
As soon as the scattered rays of light touched the ground, a shout came out.
-Wow!!!
-aaa!!!
-Erraaa!!!
A loud sound that seemed to tear the eardrums shook the street. A voice that is both barbaric and brave. A frivolous yet violent powerful voice reminiscent of a gangster.
Where the light hit, creatures wearing scaly leather appeared. A creature commonly called a fishman in fantasy novels. Naturally, he was a monster here.
Soon sand came out of the ground where they were. I could hear the sound of waves pushing against the sand, the sticky salty wind wet my cheeks, and the fishy smell of water filled my nose.
The street scene began to change.
“Is this the Goldilocks zone?…”
A unique barrier unique to monsters. This is their stage, the most comfortable place.
The three brothers’ space was the beach and sand. It was a space for pirates rather than gangs.
“It is a time of plunder and slaughter!”
September shouted as he fired the cannon into the sky. Pop! The gunpowder exploded spectacularly in the form of a firecracker, and colorful sparks fell heavily and slowly.
This was a celebration of the coming time, and a signal for the hardships to come.
“We are the Argo gang! A group of people who just want to hit and destroy things!”
“I don’t need money, women, or power. “What we want is violence.”
“Free violence! Plunder! Arson! Damage! Insult! That’s enough! Even if I lag behind here! “I will make your eyes bleed!!!”
“It’s noisy.”
Despite the second’s rebuke, the third rushed towards White Davich with a spear in his hand.
“You’re not the only one with subordinates!”
“Eh, that’s unfair!”
Dozens of fish-man monsters followed behind him, and on his way, a huge wave washed up from the beach.
“And my power becomes even stronger when there is water!”
I guess his ability is water control. The waves, which became a huge tsunami, opened their mouths ravenously as if they would devour all the enemies here at any moment.
“My name is November! He is the third of the Argo brothers…”
“f*ck! “Your tongue is so f*cking long!”
White Dabikh shouted in frustration.
“There are more people here than you!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Blue Sirius stamped his foot.
“Until there.”
The hard shoe feet ran across the soft sandy beach. A chill of absolute zero flowed from the sunken heels. The chill headed toward the sea, leaving a trail of blue ice on the sandy beach.
Even the salty sea water could not resist her coldness, and soon even the huge tsunami froze.
The huge tsunami was reduced to just a huge block of ice.
Chaeng! November swung his spear without paying any attention. White Davich blocked with her horn. She then put her mouth on the tip and blew her breath loudly.
Buuu-! The horn sounded loudly, and monsters such as skeletons and zombies emerged from under the sandy beach.
“You monsters… I will kill them all!”
“That’s good… Give it a try!”
More monsters arrived than before.
Soon a melee began. Monsters and monsters, fire and wind, ice and waves clashed endlessly, followed by the sharp sound of cold weapons cutting through the air and the sound of cannons constantly shaking the eardrums.
In the meantime, I heard the sound of a butterfly fluttering, dividing all of this,
The strong sound of lightning was also heard.
I advanced toward September, turning my scaly skin into mere ash. Everywhere I went, the sandy beach turned black like a thick layer.
Boom! When I hit him with the axe, he blocked it with his cannon.
“hahahaha, bro, do you like that? Very powerful. “I like it.”
The response has clearly improved compared to before. There was no improvement in strength, skill, or the brightness of starlight. Is this true power?
“You, be my colleague!”
But it wasn’t at a level where I could say it was great. I kicked him in the stomach, then ran back and struck him in the neck with lightning.
Kwakwang! I was literally struck by lightning. September didn’t show any signs of embarrassment, but she dusted herself off and stood up again.
“Um… Is this a rejection? “It’s a shame.”
It is sturdy enough to be ignorant. There was no sign of any damage to the wood, which seemed to have been roughly hewn and glued together. Come to think of it, the other brothers were similar. Even though he was being attacked continuously from earlier, there was not a single wound visible.
“It’s fun to be free, don’t you know? Hey, it looks like that. Devil.”
I ignored his words and struck down the axe. Quagwang! Keep going, keep going. Coogung! Kugugoogung! I hit the ax on the top of his head like hammering a nail. But September showed no sign of being hurt.
“Ha, that’s barely enough to get me… Tskcha!”
Soon a chunk of ice flew this way. I dodged it by jumping back slightly.
“Tch.”
Blue Sirius was seen clicking his tongue fiercely.
“Hey, don’t attack here. “Can’t you see I’m helping you now?”
“It looks like they are doing a good job.”
“Do you think I would fall for something like that?”
“Then do you think I will believe you?”
“…That is correct.”
It’s stupid to believe what a monster says.
“By learning from that guy in front of you. “Monsters are cowards.”
Blue Sirius created a binary god. He aimed his rapier with his clone and cast his magic in one direction. Welcome to Seolhwailo. The two magics flowed along a single path and tore apart everything in their orbit.
Both attacks were aimed at September. I swung the ax in time for her attack. There was no such thing as great technology. It just mechanically shoots out barbaric lightning as usual.
“I have to become a coward too. I’ll use your power for now. “Are you dissatisfied?”
“No.”
The starlight of the magical girl and the monster merged into one, freezing, burning, tearing, and scorching September’s body. I could see it even in the flashing lights.
“Have you seen Blue Sirius?”
“Your lightning was so dazzling it was hard to see. Can’t you adjust the brightness? “Well, it’s such outdated technology.”
The tone of speech was quite bitter. I laughed bitterly at his harsh tone, which was completely different from when I saw him as Han Jaejoong. That way of talking had a human charm to it, so it was quite nice.
“Don’t ask for ridiculous things. Blue Sirius, that guy isn’t just strong, he’s recovering super fast.”
“Recovery? Oh really… Why are these abilities so annoying…”
“It appears that all of those brothers probably have the same ability. But if there is one weakness…”
I jumped high in the sky. I collected a lot of starlight into my axe, and when I had enough, I swung it. The three-pronged lightning struck all three brothers at the same time.
“Wow!”
“Oh, oh!”
White Davich and Red Vega exclaimed in exclamation. They got hurt. It healed again, but the healing speed was slower than before.
“…We have to attack at the same time?”
“I came up with a hypothesis like that, and it seems like it might be the right answer.”
With an ability like this, there had to be a weakness. Fraudulent abilities such as contradiction are not given to just anyone.
“If I can hit all three at the same time with a fatal attack that could lead to death, the attack will be successful… Ugh?!”
At that moment, the lightning penetrated deeper into my body. This meant that there was little time left until he found the opposite s*x. It wasn’t a good sign.
“There is no time anymore. Hurry….”
“What is this?”
A familiar voice was heard from afar.
“Why are brothers and comrades fighting each other?”
It was Jason. He seemed angry.
Why is he here? Without any time to answer these questions, Jason put his hands on his belt.
“What a terrible result! What a twist of fate! Ah… What a pity! “I will end this wrong fate of mine!”
“Hey, wait a minute….”
“Hey youngest, wait!”
His belt moved before September and I could stop him.
All the surrounding scenery was distorted, and everyone here was lost.
**
When the scenery was revealed again, what I saw was….
“Oh my?”
Virgowa, a fallen magical girl.
“Why is this happening?”
It was a human corpse that she was trampling on.
[Quest appears.]
There are less than 30 seconds left before I lose my mind.
[Keep her alive.]
The new quest was quite unreasonable.
You’re screwed.
