Chapter 68

tap.

Whoa!

“… It is starting to show.”

As my destination drew near, I stopped the trigger and sent it back into the shadows.

It is better to go directly from here. Because if you did something that stood out, you could be caught in the enemy’s sight.

At him, the voice of dissatisfaction murmured, and followed the orders.

[…] My back hurts, don’t ever call me about this again. As I say over and over again, I am not a vehicle.]

slurp.

Perhaps because of the narrowing of the distance, the curse is definitely feeling a little deeper.

Everyone will take care of it and deal with it well, but I paid attention just in case.

“Each of you periodically use the purification technique. If it gets eroded, you might get caught up in all sorts of negative impulses.”

“yes. I know.”

A place where black mist hovers over the ground as if taking root.

As I approached the center of the magic, I heard a pretty loud noise as if someone was fighting.

Koo!

Aww!

‘Are they exorcists trying to remove the seeds of loneliness?’

It must have been a while since the exorcists had reached this place, but they must have been fighting.

I couldn’t understand at all what kind of tricks Hyeyeon Yoo used to make it possible.

The more carefully we approached the source of the noise, the more ominous yet familiar sensations began to be felt.

‘What is this energy?’

The force of a large snake squeezing the skin, and at the same time the reverberation of negativity rising up the body.

Perhaps Yu Ha-on and his party felt it too, and they moved forward with a more tense look than before.

Quang!

Whoa!

crispy!

The epicenter of the curse that has arrived soon.

There, a large number of personnel were fighting over the seeds of solitude.

“I’m going to unleash a barrier! Just step back!”

“Only those who are confident in the purification process should come forward!”

“Attack the moment the leader creates a gap!”

Exorcists who look pretty urgent. Between them, I could see the tired faculty members.

“It’s lamentable.”

As if ridiculing such professors, Yoo Hye-yeon laughed a little.

“Isn’t the status that I gained by abandoning my family just like this? It’s still not enough. Compared to the humiliation we’ve been through, it’s like a kid’s play.”

“… Even if you don’t see me, I’ll give you a resolution soon.”

Although several people, including Vice Dean Hye-Jin Yoo, were working together, Hye-Yeon Yoo’s power, holding the seeds of loneliness in her arms, seemed to be second to none.

However, there was another opponent that the exorcists were struggling with more than that.

It was the man who helped Hye-yeon Yoo by her side.

“Labor! Are you okay?”

“I still can’t stand it. Why the hell is such a monster here? … .”

“All the wounded were bitten back. However, it has already been eroded by the curse and is not in very good condition.”

With the top of his face covered with a bandage, with a smile of joy, a powerful being who is pushing the exorcists over and over again.

It was.

The mysterious collaborator who rescued Yoo Hye-yeon from being transported to Yangcheolgung was the goldsmith Hecktail.

‘I wanted to, but… … .’

I couldn’t even imagine that I would hold hands with Hyeyeon Yoo.

If he was guarding the seeds of solitude, it was understandable that the high-ranking exorcists who were in charge of the safety of the festival could not help.

‘Especially for orthodox exorcists, Hecktail is a very gritty existence.’

It’s just a match for me, but it wouldn’t be easy for ordinary exorcists to break through Hecktail’s curse and attack him directly.

Seeing Hecktail embarrass the high-ranking exorcists who were called naive with blood and blood, Yoo Ha-on and his party looked like they couldn’t believe it.

“What happened? You are a monster.”

“That, maybe… … .”

A being essentially similar to Bi-hyeong, who was the main culprit in the Yeongwol-do incident.

In fact, Yoo Ha-on and his party, who met Bi-hyung there, seemed to realize it at once.

‘… It’s difficult.’

In addition to Yoo Hye-yeon and Hecktail, if you stand guarding the seeds of loneliness, it will never be easy to break through them.

Even if an elite exorcist who can deal with Hecktail from outside comes to support, it will take a considerable amount of time to break through the barriers spread by the seeds of solitude and enter the academy.

If so, there was only one way.

I approached Yu Ha-on, who was nervous, and induced the blue lighthouse attribute to activate.

“That’s the center of magic. Do you feel something?”

“… I’m not sure, but I think I know how to break the spell.”

that is enough. Considering what happened in the original story, maybe in fact, Yoo Ha-on can figure out a way to get rid of the seeds of loneliness.

“You wait here. And if the opportunity arises, do not hesitate to help the professors.”

“So, what about your brother?”

“You have to put those two apart. We will lure one to another.”

Baek Eun-seo was astonished at my words.

“it’s crazy! Attracting that monster? Even two lives would not be enough.”

“There is a way. I’m not thinking of doing anything particularly dangerous, so don’t worry.”

There was no time for arguing anyway. I resolutely shake off the disapproval of Yoo Ha-on and the group and start to get out of my seat.

“For the sake of it.”

“… Burn it?”

“Take it easy and come over to where I am.”

In response, Gongsam quickly climbed up the wall of the building and approached Hecktail.

‘Because I’ve seen you in a previous fight, I’m sure you’ll react.’

Not surprisingly, after a while, Hecktail’s energy began to drift away from the center of the battle.

I wanted to keep it as far away from the seeds of loneliness as possible, so I lure Hecktail with moderate speed.

The place we arrived at was the 2nd public training ground.

In the midterm evaluation of the previous general combat practice, it was the place where I first faced off against Chung Haram.

***

After Han Kang-yun left, Yoo Ha-on and his party began to wait for an opportunity to intervene in the situation as he had told them.

Then, soon a man in a really drab robe left the battlefield and started chasing Han Kang-yoon’s shikigami.

“… Are you really okay? That man. No matter how you look at it, I’m not an ordinary kid.”

“Since you said it’s okay with your mouth, it’s probably okay.”

“i think so too.”

As Han Seo-ah said, Yoo Ha-on also trusted Han Kang-yoon.

However, at the same time, I had mixed feelings.

It’s sad, and it’s sad.

In the end, I couldn’t help him much this time either.

‘I’m still too weak.’

It was the same in the last fight with the tuning fork. Yoo Ha-on did not even notice the existence of the villagers who were only empty shells, and the battle against the main body did not add much strength either.

If he had been a little better, Han Kang-yoon would have been able to reduce the amount of overwork himself.

It wasn’t that Han Kang-yoon didn’t trust Yoo Ha-on.

However, when the decisive moment of crisis came, there was no option for Han Kang-yoon to be with Yoo Ha-on.

It was a natural perception, and it was also a valid judgment.

It was the part where he couldn’t help but feel his own shortcomings.

“… big It’s not like you’re acting your way all of a sudden.”

“Release the spell with ease! You don’t think you can stop this argument by yourself, don’t you?”

“There are three first graders here, and it is only a matter of time before a final decision is made. If you want mercy, you’d better surrender at this point.”

Due to the departure of the man she was with, Hye-yeon Yoo, who stirred the enemy, lost her momentum in an instant.

Conversely, the exorcists have regained their leisure and are slowly pushing Hye-yeon Yoo.

‘But, why?’

I didn’t feel good. At least, that’s how Yoo Ha-on felt.

And this type of intuition has rarely been wrong so far.

“… Anyway, I didn’t even expect anyone to help from the beginning.”

Suddenly, Yoo Hye-yeon’s momentum changed to a different flow than before. At the same time, the form of witchcraft that had overturned the Academy began to change rapidly.

coo coo.

“Yoo Hye-jin. You are going here with me today to my father’s arms. Get down on your knees there and apologize.”

“… … .”

The earth shakes, and the flow of air fluctuates non-stop.

Before long, the dark mist began to overflow from the center of the ritual.

The power accumulated through numerous battles within the academy so far. was pulling it out.

“Loneliness. I will give my body So more power in these hands!”

“You mean using your own body as a medium? Totally out of my mind!”

In a rapidly changing situation, Yoo Ha-on felt that now was the right time to act.

“… Let’s move too.”

“Hey, Ha-on? Do you want to go into that niche now?”

“Everyone is tired, and now there is no time. We have to do it.”

Baek Eun-seo dissuaded him, but Yoo Ha-on’s attitude was firm.

Kang-yoon Han is still taking bigger risks and buying time.

It could not be wasted in vain.

‘This time, I… … .’

It was his turn to ease the burden on Han Kang-yoon. After making a firm resolve, Yoo Ha-on quietly moved forward.

turuk.

Hecktail, who finally reached me, took a seat on one side of the training ground and made a fishy laugh.

“Nice to meet you. I was planning to visit the exorcists by myself, but were you bored of waiting?”

“Why did you help her?”

“Because I was interested in it.”

Anyway, I didn’t call him here just to hear the reason.

I called out the black tone from the shadows in addition to Gongsam and spoke to Hecktail.

“Are you sure? I’ll tell you, I’m sure you’ll regret it.”

Last time, the facility in Sergean was unaware of Hecktail’s existence.

Of course, he hadn’t prepared for it yet, and it could be said that he had too few hands.

But now it was different.

For this month, I had completed all the ‘preparations for attack’ against the named boss, Golden Magician Hecktail.

If you think the same as before, Hecktail will surely pay the price.

“Because I didn’t see you, my cheekiness hit the sky. There is no one in the world I should be afraid of.”

“Is that so? It’s just that we haven’t met yet.”

Hecktail is clearly an overwhelming force, but in terms of the exorcism and the worldview as a whole, he is neither the strongest nor anything.

Of course, there are strategies and weaknesses, and just like ordinary humans, if they take fatal wounds, they die.

“I heard the story of Bi-hyung from a woman in Cheongga.”

“… … .”

“It wasn’t a special relationship, but there’s nothing I can’t do that takes your soul and soothes it.”

coo coo.

A huge amount of spiritual power was emitted from Hecktail, and the cursed energy engraved on his soul began to flow in all directions.

“Black sound.”

Flutter!

[Quick!]

As I looked at the darkness that settled on my shoulder at my call, I faced the opponent without hesitation.

Goldsmith Hecktail, a member of the Night School and the story’s named boss.

From now on, it was time to return to the player and attack him.
