Episode 283
Antonio, who was grabbed by the collar, glared at me with gritted teeth.
“…What are you. How did you know it was me?”
Instead of answering, I raised my mana onto my hand. The goal of this mission is to capture Antonio, not kill him.
This is because in order to capture him alive, he needs to be subdued first.
Magical power whirled over his hand, and the sphere of non-attribute magic was re-implemented.
He shoved me away with a puzzled face and tried to swing his sword, but at the right timing, he tripped on his foot and knocked me off balance.
As the balance of the body collapsed, the boy became defenseless in an instant.
I slammed the magic orb into the boy’s shoulder.
“Keah!”
Antonio’s screams of pain rang through the room. I pushed him away and knocked him to the floor.
After that, he quickly took out the magic-blocking restraints he had been given in advance.
“If you don’t want to die, stay still.”
“Ouch! go away!”
That moment when I was about to press down on his back and put magic restraints in both hands.
—Kim Seon-woo! what are you doing there
An urgent cry came from the communication magic tool. It was Jung Hyun-soo’s cry.
He paused for a moment and injected magic into the magic tool in his ear.
“Ah, that’s it…
just as I was about to explain the situation like that—a
huge magical energy began to rage from the ground.
and at the same time.
Kwahiaa Ah -ah — –
A huge roar rings, and intense magical energy swept around.
All the windows of the building were shattered, and I too was swept away by the energy and lost my balance for a moment.
“Kuk!”
Instinctively, he realized the true nature of this magical power.
Kim Deok-hyeon and Seon-hwa, who had been controlling their powers for fear of damage to their surroundings, began to use their powers in earnest.
Those two are monsters belonging to the top of the S-class.
With their strength, it wouldn’t be strange even if this building collapsed a long time ago.
And Antonio did not miss this opportunity.
He pushed me away with his foot, grabbed me by the shoulder, and tried to run away through the passage leading directly to the basement.
However, I recreated the sphere and fired a quick shot at his right leg.
Fain!
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
The boy fell to the floor again.
At the same time, I hit my forehead on the floor and thud! The sound echoed loudly on the floor.
I was in pain for no reason, so my eyes were frowning.
It’s difficult if you get a head injury because you have to investigate after being captured alive.
“Uh… Hey. are you okay?”
When I asked in such a worried voice, Antonio turned around with his shoulders trembling.
Blood dripped from his forehead and
ran down his nose.
“Kkeuh… This crazy bastard… Seeing that he started swearing at me, fortunately
his mind seems to be fine. I was worried
that something might happen, but
I’m glad I did.
I slowly walked towards him and
ejected an orb from his left leg.
Quaang!
“끄아악… 야이 개새끼야!”
Antonio’s desperate cry as if crying.
I didn’t care and then released magic on my shoulder and arm.
“Quaaaaagh! Yaaah!”
At that moment, I felt a life force directed at me from the space on the right.
As soon as I stretched out my hand to the right and released the magic, one of the members of the group rushed towards me and jumped! and fell straight to the floor.
Then, life was felt from the rear and to the left.
This time, he calmly discharged his magic and knocked him down.
As the three gang members collapsed, fear began to form in the eyes of the gang members watching me.
“…what? Does he even have eyes on the back of his head?”
“…No, is that a student?”
Ignoring the sounds around me, I walked over to Antonio and restrained his hands with the magic ball fastball.
clap.
At the same time, a message appeared in front of my eyes.
[‘Captured the boss’ achievement]
[Acquired 5000 points as a reward.]
[Future change detected.]
[Causality rate increases by 0.5.]
[Defeat numerous enemies using ‘wind attribute’. You have done it.]
[Your skill in controlling wind properties has greatly increased!]
You have acquired points and causality. Acquiring the wind attribute proficiency is a bonus.
However, since the situation was urgent, he removed the message and injected magic into the communication magic tool.
“Ah, this is Kim Seon-woo. Antonio, who was on the 4th floor, has been captured.”
Then, Jung Hyeon-soo’s voice was heard, bewildered.
—…what what? Are you done capturing? Seonwoo Kim You… no. Well done for once. I’ll organize the situation below and go up.
He seemed to have something more to say, but he seemed busy because of the battle between Kim Deok-hyeon and Seon-hwa.
Suddenly curious about the battle between the two, I walked to a place where I could feel the magic and looked out the window.
At the same time, my mouth dropped open at the sight in front of me.
“and.”
A tremendous battle was taking place between the two S-class monsters.
Every time Deok-Hyun Kim’s spear was swung, waves of tremendous magical energy swept away the surrounding space, and Seon-Hwa
blocked Kim Deok-Hyun’s attack with powerful black magic.
However, the situation itself seemed to be a little more advantageous to Kim Deok-hyun.
Perhaps because of the difference in strength, it was because Seonhwa showed a defense-oriented battle.
However, thanks to Mine’s unique regenerative power, it was impossible to inflict damage, so winning or losing was not easily decided.
—…Keugh. Are you Deokhyun Kim? It’s a monster, as rumored.
—Shut up and answer me. Why did a demon like you intervene in this case?
—Whoops… Try to find out for yourself.
At that time, Jung Hyun-soo and other agents joined. Among them were Lee Seo-joon and Yoo Ah-ra.
-Seniors! We’ll help too!
—Chehe… Seon-hwa
decided that there was no chance of winning against the approaching reinforcements, so she tried to darken it.
At the same time, her body melted like ice cream and began to disappear into the darkness.
Kim Deok-hyeon swung the spear again to avoid missing it, but her body had already disappeared into darkness.
and.
I could feel her energy disappearing all around me.
I turned around.
In the darkness where nothing could be seen, something crept up and Seonhwa appeared.
She looked around at the fallen gang members and the captured Antonio and then said to me.
“…that’s great. Did you sort out the situation by yourself?”
Sunhwa muttered in a tone of surprise.
I wondered if she might attack me, but she didn’t seem to have any intention of harming me, seeing as I didn’t feel any lethality.
When I let go of my guard, she smiled a little.
“It’s fun. To say you’re not
scared in front of me …
He smiled and said again.
“You are Kim Seon-woo, right?”
“then?”
“You don’t have to be so vigilant. I am personally a fan of yours.”
…Seonhwa is my fan?
“Exactly, I am a fan of another person who resembles you. Well, you can say that he became interested in you as well. Whoops.”
The other person she was talking about seemed to be referring to ‘Kim Jin-woo’.
I was not surprised because I already knew that Kim Jin-woo had many factors that could attract the attention of the demons.
I asked her
“What is your relationship with Silvers?”
At my question, Seonhwa showed signs of worrying.
“Ugh. well. Could it be that it was because of a request from a friend rather than Silvers?”
“……friend?”
It was a sudden answer, so I felt a bit confused.
She is close to Seonhwa…
At that moment, a person passed through my mind.
Ha-ryeong, the master of underground events and a loyal servant of the one called the Demon King of Prophecy.
According to the original story, Ha-ryeong and Seon-hwa were known to be close friends within the Sipma Association.
Does that mean that there was a relationship between Haryeong and Silvers that wasn’t shown in the original story?
My head just started to hurt.
According to Choi Il-hyeon, Ha-ryeong would have known the whereabouts of Jin Cheon-wu’s fourth diary.
At that moment, footsteps began to be heard from the floor below.
Sunhwa looked down at the floor and smiled at me.
“Intruders are coming. I’ll just go Let’s see each other next time we get a chance.”
After that, Seonhwa disappeared into the darkness again.
— Enter!
Moments later, other agents appeared up the stairs creating a commotion.
When they saw the remaining gang members around them, they immediately subdued them and arrested them.
Kim Deok-hyeon and Jeong Hyeon-soo, who came up to the 4th floor belatedly, also looked around and grasped the situation.
Then, after seeing the arrested Antonio, Kim Deok-hyun asked me.
“Is the arrested guy over there Antonio?”
Because his face was covered with a bast mask, Kim Deok-hyeon
did not recognize Antonio. I nodded.
“yes. you’re right.”
“…Identify the detainee over there.”
Deokhyun Kim said to one of the investigators.
“yes!”
The investigators were busy examining Antonio’s magical powers and fingerprints.
And after a while, he shouted loudly in our direction.
“Team manager Antonio is right!”
“is it.”
As Kim Deok-hyeon muttered quietly, Jeong Hyeon-soo next to him also asked with a surprised face.
“oh. what? How did you know it was Antonio?”
I shrugged my shoulders saying it was nothing.
“The sense of presence was exceptionally high alone. And the members of the organization also showed a movement to protect the author.”
It was a plausible excuse, so Jung Hyun-soo nodded in agreement.
However, Kim Deok-hyun was looking at me with eyes full of doubts to see if the question had not been resolved.
Then Jung Hyun-soo asked again.
“Yeah, but how did you manage to subdue that by yourself in such a short amount of time? ah! And what did you do when you jumped out the window and flew around earlier?”
“……that.”
“Kim Seon-woo.”
At that time, Deokhyun Kim called my name in a low voice.
I felt nervous at the thought that the time had come.
“Do you know how big of a problem your behavior was today?”
“Yes I know.”
sudden personal action.
It was an act that should never be done that could endanger the entire team.
I was well aware of what I had done wrong, as I had emphasized this dozens of times during the special task force training.
Even so, the situation was unavoidable for me.
If this work ends in failure, many problems will arise in the future development.
“Not all operations can go as planned. However, you should also consider that your individual actions could put your teammates at risk.”
Kim Deok-hyeon, who had muttered so much, got lost in his thoughts and then spoke again.
“It’s a shame that everything went well, but what you did could be interpreted as leaving me in a confrontation with the devil.”
To be honest, I did it because I knew that Deokhyun Kim was stronger, but it wasn’t wrong depending on my interpretation.
“Always put your colleagues first. Well, there may be moments when you have to take an unexpected action during the operation, but even if such a situation arises, you must report it when the opportunity arises.”
“all right.”
Deokhyun Kim nodded and patted my shoulder.
“Good job. rest.”
All incidents were suppressed and an investigation into the abandoned building Silvers had occupied proceeded.
First of all, a large amount of magic bombs were found all over the abandoned building.
The problem is that the technique hidden inside the bomb was frequently used by the terrorist group ‘Zaun’.
The fact that there is a completely unexpected group behind it, the special team began to intensively interrogate Antonio.
However, because he knew the horrors of Zaun, he did not open his mouth easily.
“This is an item from Team Leader Antonio’s pocket.”
At that time, one of the investigators held out something to Kim Deok-hyeon.
The identity of the object was a piece of paper with a complicated spell written on it.
The paper was in good condition, so it appeared to be a copy rather than the original.
Because it was such a complex technique, Kim Deok-hyeon made an expression that he did not understand.
“What about the formula analysis class?”
“They say they are coming. I think it will take
about 30 minutes.”
“Antonio still has nothing to say?”
“You are maintaining your silence.”
Deokhyun Kim smiled for a moment and released his hand.
“Then I’ll have to make you open your mouth.”
At that time, Lee Seo-joon, who was staring at the ceremony, glanced at me and said,
“This technique… How about entrusting it to Seonwoo?”
Then, he opened his mouth saying that he remembered Jung Hyun-soo
.
“ah! that’s right! I heard that Seonwoo Kim is excellent at interpreting magic formulas.”
Kim Deok-hyun stared at me for a moment and then asked.
“Hmm. I vaguely heard it too… would you like to take a look?”
“Yes, please.”
Deokhyun Kim handed me a piece of paper with the spell written on it.
I checked the contents of the paper.
At the same time, the benefit of the outsider was activated, and
the information contained in the magic entered my head. It contained the same content as was seen in the original.
“This is a blueprint.”
“……floor plan?”
Hyunsoo Jung asked with a curious face.
“It’s the blueprint for your key.”
As if getting a hint from the word key, Jung Hyun-soo clapped his hands.
“ah! It’s a blueprint for disabling the barrier!”
“yes. That’s right. That is also the blueprint for the key to unlock the enormous barrier
.”
“It’s an incredibly huge barrier…
Kim Deok-hyun smiled.
“It seems that the place where the barrier connected to this key is located will be the next place Zaun will stage a terrorist attack.”
