Chapter 237 – An Unexpected Family Reunion (5)
Early morning.
Dozens of people in robes are standing on top of a towering barrier.
Wizards dispatched from the Mage Tower with Han Joo-hee.
The reason they stood on that high wall was to fire flares.
The signal flare that signaled the start of the Kraken attack.
How do you tell
「Group Magic,A thousand lines of lightning.”
Hundreds of bolts of lightning fall from the sky full of dark clouds.
The landing point is above the sea.
The struck power flows through the seawater.
Jiggly Jiggly!
Fast!
Tremendous noise flows through the barrier and reaches us.
I don’t know, but at least a third of the hundreds of Kraken Juniors that engulfed the sea with that single shot must have died or been rendered incapacitated.
The surrounding hunters start to stir.
“As expected, a wizard… , Although unlucky, the firepower alone is amazing.”
“Collective magic… , Was there anything like that?”
Group Magic.
A combination machine in which multiple wizards draw magic circles at the same time to create a single magic.
Starting from the speed, shape, and size of drawing the magic circle, and the amount of magic power consumed by it, all wizards who participated in the magic must be the same to achieve success.
Dozens of wizards were able to satisfy all these conditions thanks to the competence of the one who commanded them.
An S-class Hunter and Archmage Han Joo-hee.
She, and no one else, developed this group magic.
“He said he would do it… , It really does it.”
Almost 7 or 8 years ago, she said.
They are trying to find a way to draw magic that cannot be done alone.
That is her own achievement, achieved through a bare-ground header.
I have come this far only through my research and trial and error without any foundational knowledge.
Someone muttered in a disgruntled voice.
“If wizards gather and keep throwing things like that into the sea, won’t we have no need for them?”
“I know…”
Hmm.
I usually don’t want to use this expression, but it’s just stupid…
“Don’t be stupid.”
… What.
I didn’t spit it out.
As it turned out, it wasn’t me, it was the words of a wizard waiting near him.
“How many times do you think you can fire magic with that much power?”
The guy is right.
That is a special move that can only be seen once.
The magical power of the wizards who climbed the barrier to use that magic once was empty.
There is a difference in degree as much as the total amount must be matched, but it is truly insignificant.
It would take hundreds of wizards of at least intermediate level to pour out that many times.
“Three minutes until the start of the operation!”
“I hope you do your best in the position you were informed in advance!”
“Good luck, everyone!”
A man who is the leader of the group gathered here cheers her up by shouting.
The wizards who were on top of the barrier stumbled down.
And.
Coo coo coo… !
The barrier wall began to split in half with a harsh sound.
“All ready for battle!”
The operation is simpler than you think.
First of all, after reducing the population of Kraken Jr., Which has increased so far, with the collective magic of the Magic Tower, the barrier is partially opened and the remaining party hunting the remaining ones that have risen to the ground.
Wouldn’t the damage around them increase if they came up to the ground?
That’s not natural
When the battle between the hunter and the monster begins, all the buildings in the area will probably be destroyed.
But this is an unavoidable loss.
You can’t fight at sea against sea creatures just to save a few buildings, right?
“It will come soon.”
Boom!
The open width of the barrier is about 40 to 50 meters.
Giant squids rise out of the sea one by one through the open cracks and set foot on the ground.
“Eww… , Disgusting.”
“I won’t be able to eat squid for a while.”
Hmm.
I also agree with that statement.
Just watching those tentacles squirm makes me feel like my appetite is dripping.
“Oh, it comes!”
The Kraken Jr., Who discovered humans, rush in with hostility.
Those who are not land creatures, but run fast on the ground with many legs.
Shush shush shush!
Swing, stab, coil, throw.
All kinds of attacks using tentacles rain down on the party that has entered the battle.
And to me too.
Whoo-!
“Oops.”
After lightly avoiding the tentacles coiling around her legs like jumping rope, she prepares her magic.
Eventually, the flames that started to burn at the fingertips quickly swelled up and ran across the ground.
「Flare.」
Waves of small flames cover its body.
Chii profit!
The water on the surface dries up, and soon the body of the guy is burning.
Every time he struggles, the smell of grilled squid vibrates everywhere.
It definitely smells like squid, but…
“Um… , But no.”
It’s not a Kraken, and you can’t eat the legs of a Kraken Jr.
There is no time to watch the squid being grilled.
I immediately pulled out the sword I was wearing around my waist and cut through the guy’s body.
Alas!
The body split up and down fell to the floor dripping black ink.
Even though it’s been a long time since I’ve used a sword, the feeling is still the same.
However, if you have any regrets.
“Your hand taste is young…”
Not particularly good, not bad either.
Was it impossible to find a good quality sword in one day, no matter how much the association did?
“Ah, where is this?”
Until the day before yesterday, I had no intention of using a sword.
Then yesterday I changed my mind.
Whatever might happen in the midst of the chaotic fight, I’ll use whatever I can.
The guy, who had been flopping even after his body split and fell, finally stops moving.
At that time, I immediately moved my gaze to the battlefield.
“Chaha!”
“Please help me here!”
“Is magic still far away?!”
The situation isn’t too bad.
As the hands and feet of the B-class centered on the A-class gradually match, it seems to be able to predict the superiority.
But…
“Healer! Healer!”
“What if the tanker avoids the tentacles!”
“Then you’re asking me to get hit and run after you?!”
“Are you going to keep the shield and use it as a table, you prick!?”
Where there is light, there is darkness.
The party whose hands and feet did not fit at all was in danger of dying.
My target is them.
「Aegis.」
A giant shield with a vivid snake’s head stuck in it, as if it would jump out at any moment, blocks their way.
At the same time, a bunch of tentacles poured over the shield.
Tutututututu!
If the shield creation had been a little late, two of them would have been seriously injured.
The shield hit by the tentacles opens its eyes.
To be precise, the snake’s head stuck there, Medusa.
Whoaaaaagh!
The formidable cold air expelled from the mouth freezes the squid as it is.
The party, who managed to get out of the crisis, shook their heads.
I gave a little bit of a bitter sound towards them.
“If you don’t want to fall behind, get along. Yes? Otherwise, I will stuff you all in one coffin and hold a funeral.”
Impressed by the sincere advice, the guys nod their heads in a scramble.
Well, too.
Because truth always prevails.
“Ego… , George some other guys… , No, let’s go get him…”
This is so good, yeah
Do good work, relieve stress.
It’s a situation that can’t be two birds with one stone.
On the way to and from all over the open battlefield.
Shush shush shush!
Alas!
Creepy!
I found a swordsman fighting 1:1 with Kraken Jr. In a dark place.
Looking at her slender body, she is clearly a woman… , Wearing a sloppy mask over her face.
“Hot… !”
A guy who, after cutting off his legs with brilliant swordsmanship, loses all means of transportation and stabs his sword into his body struggling on the ground without hesitation.
Before long, I met the eyes of the guy who was holding the sword.
“… What are you doing here, Seoyeon?”
You call that a disguise, you stupid bastard.
* * *
“Everyone had a hard time.”
After escorting the wizards of the Mage Tower whose mana has been emptied by collective magic and transporting them to the rear.
She flew straight into the sky and returned to the surveillance battalion, the operational headquarters.
The battle scene reflected on the screen that filled one wall.
These were the screens taken and sent by drones flying around in the sky.
“How is the situation?”
Seeing this, she asked, and Kim Seong-tae suddenly turned around and answered.
“Not bad. If we go on like this, we are expected to win without much damage.”
“Is that so.”
As she looked through several screens, her gaze caught a figure.
‘Kim Do-jin…’
The brow furrowed finely.
He was not a person I wanted to see very much.
However, he has more abilities and secrets than anyone else.
So even if you don’t want to see it, you have no choice but to see it periodically.
“…”
As soon as I saw him active on the screen, the thought that came to my mind was ‘as expected’.
It is amazing to see him reload magic faster than anyone else and pour it out on his opponent.
Let’s see it once, the eyes keep going.
Suddenly, her eyes were following his movements.
And she witnessed a shocking sight.
“… Knife?”
Kim Do-jin, who firmly believed that he was a wizard, pulled out his sword and cut the Kraken in two.
“Also…”
Again
I thought I wouldn’t be surprised to see him anymore, but it happened again.
If there is only one thing she has that is ignorant of her sword, it is her eyes.
An eye that sees swordsmanship.
I didn’t get it because I wanted to get it.
From her dating days to her married life, seeing her husband’s growth, who would not be pushed by anyone when it comes to swords, she just naturally acquired it.
From her point of view, that swordsmanship… , Was extraordinary.
A lot of it too.
At that level, he must have wielded the sword diligently for several years. I can’t guess, but at least I know that it’s a level that I can’t reach unless I’m serious about the sword.
That’s why I couldn’t understand it any more.
“How…”
How can a young man who is only 21 years old handle two things that are difficult to achieve even if he devotes his life to them?
She thought.
At this rate, he seems surprised that he drove all the amount that should have been surprising for a month today.
So I thought there wouldn’t be any surprises now… , Was not
“… ?”
Kim Do-jin, who was walking around, met a woman who covered her face with a sloppy mask.
However, Han Joo-hee seemed to know who the woman was.
No, I couldn’t have known.
Because she
“… Son Seo-yeon?”
Because she was my daughter.
As soon as he confirmed this, the temperature around him began to rise rapidly.
“No, what kind of heat suddenly…”
When manager Kim Seong-tae fluttered his collar in the sudden heat.
「Fly.」
Han Joo-hee, who floated herself in the air using her floating magic, soared straight into the sky.
Quaang!
While smashing the intact ceiling.
