Episode 34

“Then who will go?”

It was a very simple, yet very close to the basics.

Cheongju-hwa, who heard my words, had a somewhat startled expression on her face, lost her words for a while and was silent.

“… Yes, but.”

To stimulate the hesitant Cheongju-hwa, I hurriedly spoke again.

“You can’t follow me. It’s dangerous because it’s true.”

“Ah Mr. Who doesn’t care?”

Cheongju-hwa continued to worry a little more as if her thoughts were not organized.

Then, for some reason, he patted his head and threw an answer at me.

“… Last time, you said you wanted to form a team or something with me.”

“It did.”

“Then let’s do it right now, that’s it.”

This time it was my turn to surprise. Because that was a really unexpected answer.

As I said before, the words team and colleague mean a lot to Cheongju-hwa.

Things that are like romances that I have cherished since I was a child, because I have always suffered from human malice.

Of course, this is not an easy word to hear.

‘… Team formation is an event that only comes out after at least the middle part, right?’

It didn’t have any particular form, but it was just a verbal promise between the two of us.

This is the part where Yoo Ha-on’s efforts to continuously stimulate the sake of cheongju will bear fruit to some extent.

It was actually unfolding in front of me right now.

‘her.’

I never thought that Cheongju-hwa, a fairly demanding type of character, would open my heart like this already.

“… I don’t usually go, but because it’s a team, I go.”

Behind Cheongju-hwa, who was shyly avoiding his gaze, Choi Young-ho’s cry resounded, who barely caught his breath.

“Where are you going? This is not the place for you, only academy cadets, to go!”

It was a harsh word, but there was a sense of urgency in it.

But there was no need to worry.

After all, the crises I had to overcome were piled up like a mountain.

It doesn’t become a story only when you’re scared to this extent.

“Can you protect yourself by yourself?”

“Hey man, what are you looking at me for? It doesn’t matter… … .”

“Then that’s it.”

Choi Young-ho, who was silent at those words, finally uttered one word worriedly.

“Since the alert level has changed, the citizens who have been hiding in the residential area are probably just starting to evacuate to other areas. Can’t you just go there and get your attention?”

At that, I nodded my head.

“… Anyway, kids these days are more fearless.”

So, we plunged into the heart of the matter.

***

Seo Ji-hye is a new security guard who turned 25 this year.

He graduated from a prestigious academy in his own right, and was an excellent talent who immediately obtained the 3rd level exorcist qualification.

Aww!

Whoops!

Seo Ji-hye felt that it had been two years since she was assigned to the Cheongdam 2nd Defense Force, and it was the first time she had faced such a major crisis in such a long time.

‘Huh, whoops. I didn’t even get close… … ‘.

It was like the feeling of heat seeping into the bones, and even though I had raised my spiritual power to the best of my ability, it was hard to hold on.

‘How big is the difference in grades by just one level?’

With Seo Ji-hye’s current ability, it was not difficult to defeat a C+ rank monster alone, so the impact was even greater.

Whoops!

“Aww!”

At the urgent scream that came along with the explosion, Seo Ji-hye hurriedly headed to the scene, raising her spiritual power.

There was an exorcist who had fallen to the floor with significant burns to one arm.

“I’m from the 2nd Guard! Are you okay?”

“Ugh. Ugh.”

The man didn’t seem to be able to properly control his body. Seo Ji-hye quickly finished first aid with magic and headed to the center of the flames.

‘You have to stop quickly.’

Already, the street scene was completely hellish.

If the yokai were to go to the nearby mountains or residential areas, the damage would be uncontrollable.

“Wall of Heaven!”

As I went through the heat a little more, I saw an exorcist who was blocking the flames with an intermediate defensive spell.

a familiar sight. If I remember correctly, it was Kwak Seo-jin, a veteran of the 3rd Defense Guard, who said that he would take a test for promotion to level 2 soon.

“I will join you!”

At Seo Ji-hye’s words, Kwak Seo-jin noticed the signs and shouted urgently.

“no! Do not come!”

Aww!

At that moment, an even stronger heat wave covered the field of vision.

The heat was unbearable even though he hadtily launched the defensive technique, and even though he wasn’t heading towards me, this was enough. It was really a different class.

“Wow!”

Fortunately, Kwak Seo-jin was unharmed. However, it looked like it was difficult to continue the battle no matter who looked at it.

Kwak Seo-jin said to Seo Ji-hye, who hurriedly approached her side and supported him.

“… me, that guy. Strong among B ranks. It is definitely above the normal rank.”

At those words, Seo Ji-hye swallowed her saliva.

Even if it’s not a plus, it’s a real exhaust B rank. If that statement was true, it was because he was clearly an opponent who wasn’t good enough on his own.

jerk.

jerk.

In front of such Seo Ji-hye and Han Seo-jin, something in the form of a small human began to approach through the flames.

What was finally revealed was a small yokai wearing a strangely shaped mouth covering and spreading fire from there.

The blonde hair reflected in the light, and the crimson eyes that seemed to burn. To be honest, her appearance was enough to believe that she was a young human girl.

Staring at Seo Ji-hye, who was overwhelmed by the scene, the ghost and the bull-goblin opened their mouths.

“… Burn it?”

Like a child’s innocent question or hateful lamentation, it sounded like a death sentence to Seo Ji-hye.

“Non-poisonous Bak (匕毒雹)!”

👌👌👌👌👌👌

Wow!

Don’t be swayed by momentum.

Seo Ji-hye quickly launched a preemptive attack and left with Kwak Seo-jin.

Putting Kwak Seo-jin in a position where he could escape alone, Seo Ji-hye slapped her cheeks and headed to the battlefield again.

To be honest, I was a little scared, but if I ran away from here, the name of the Cheongdam 2nd Defense Guard cries.

Fortunately, there was an opportunity to get through.

Judging from the blow a while ago, the main attack route of this guy was the flame that he shoots out through his mouth in a straight line.

Whoops.

good.

lesser evil.

Seo Ji-hye, who put a spell on the amulet she had prepared and put it on her legs, began to approach the blind spot of the goblin from afar.

“Bieuncheokgi (秘隱蹐气).”

A concealment technique that is often used. If this were the case, it would be possible to approach it without being detected from a certain distance.

Hwareuk.

Whoops.

In the midst of the scorching flames, Seo Ji-hye was sweating nervously and approached the goblin’s close range.

And, as soon as he took out a shining bead of light from his bosom, he started running at the same time.

percussion!

Accordingly, the bulldokkaebi also noticed Seo Ji-hye’s presence and turned around.

“Burn it.”

Fuwaak!

Whoops-!

Fierce fire erupted from the goblin’s mouth.

However, Seo Ji-hye, who covered various magic for mobility, quickly evaded it and occupied the back of the bulldokkaebi.

And he developed an attack technique by injecting spiritual power into the spleen, the main sphere of the spleen.

“Hwahwa Fever!”

However, that moment.

The goblin’s hand, which had never moved until then, was stretched out behind him.

The palm of her hand was pointing exactly at Seo Ji-hye’s upper body.

“… Burn it.”

‘ah.’

Seo Ji-hye felt death in that short time.

A vortex of fierce flames was forming in front of his eyes, and the speed was very fast.

There was no such thing as the last minute as we often say.

‘… The periwinkle is a horn.’

Seo Ji-hye gave up everything and closed her eyes while resenting someone who would have said such a thing to herself someday.

and.

“Wall of Heaven!”

Fuwaak!

Wow!

Seo Ji-hye survived. By someone’s powerful defense technique that suddenly unfolded.

“Are you okay?”

The main characters are two people who shouldn’t be here right now. It was none other than Han Kang-yoon and Cheong Ju-hwa.

***

“You, you. where is this… … .”

“Where are people in a situation like this? Nothing will change as long as you stay still.”

At Cheongju-hwa’s bold words, Seo Ji-hye just made a confused expression.

But it’s not terribly wrong.

Actually, this area was in a state of chaos, including the second evacuation order.

Whatever it was, it was a time when more power was needed.

“… … .”

A bulldokkaebi staring at us with blank eyes.

Except for the fact that it was engulfed in a more eerie flame, it was an image exactly as it was described in the original.

’emotion.’

tyring.

【Fire horn devil】

▶Level 42

▶ Ability

[Health: B]

【Yo power: B+】

【Method: A-】

【Spirit: C】

▶Characteristics (4/10)

【Naturalization (A+)】

【Burning Flame (A-)】

【Runaway (B)】

【Strength (C+)】

This is a fairly high-level status. The rank of the stats was also respected, and the purity of the characteristics was also excellent.

Above all, the overlapping fire-type characteristics were telling the opponent’s strength.

“… Burn it?”

With lines that didn’t make sense, the bulldokkaebi started shooting flames once again.

Seo Ji-hye and we quickly retreated from the flames, but from the heat we felt, we could understand the level of the enemy.

“Run away now! can’t you see You are not at a level that you can deal with!”

“Isn’t that the same for each other?”

“Ugh.”

Quietly arguing, I asked Cheongjuhwa, who was carrying a lot of amulets.

“What do you think?”

“… I can’t stop a lot. At a glance, it doesn’t seem like he’s put out his energy yet.”

“That’s enough.”

From now on, it was my turn to do what I had been preparing for.

“Yeomho, noongsugwi.”

Whoops!

Fuwaak!

[Keying.]

[Keek!]

As always, the old man recognized the enemy and put on a more disgusting expression than usual.

The reason was something I, too, was acutely aware of.

‘… I was aware of the setting, but this is considerable.’

The bulldokkaebi in front of you is a yokai born in a fire that devoured hundreds of thousands of people in a certain country.

The source of that power is their pain and resentment.

Therefore, it was clearly visible to my eyes with the limit of gold business figures.

The cries of countless ghosts that exist in the flames.

“So, do you have a way?”

“Yes. To some extent.”

After I finished speaking, I quickly hid behind the Cheongjuhwa.

The flame is stronger than expected. It was impossible to break through with such a simple attack, and it was difficult to block the attack of the goblin with my current spiritual power.

“For the time being, give me time to focus on defense.”

At the sight of some déjà vu, Cheongju-hwa threw her gaze at me with a subtle expression. Then he opened his mouth as if he couldn’t help it.

“… yes what It’s a team.”

There was a smile on his lips that didn’t suit the urgent situation.

Fuwaak!

Whoops!

“The Wall of Heaven.”

Whoops!

tsuzu.

“Is there really a way?”

Behind Cheongju-hwa’s defense ceremony, Seo Ji-hye, who had caught her breath, shouted out loud.

“Yes. there is.”

Hwareuk!

Whoops!

“Oh, I don’t know if this is right. First of all, what should I do?”

In fact, Seo Ji-hye was not in the original plan. But if there is, it’s helpful. I took a white stake out of my arms and answered Seo Ji-hye.

“When I signal, fire as powerful a spell as possible. It doesn’t matter if it’s a restraint technique or an offensive technique.”

From now on, you have to concentrate. I stopped the conversation and raised the spiritual power in my body as much as I could.
