Chapter 166 – Chapter 166. Social Party (3)
‘I almost got fucked.’
After destroying almost all barriers, Baek Ah-yeong was found.
I reversed most of the barriers in the party hall. I met so many people, and in the meantime, I was able to find it thanks to the information that one of the hunters I met gave me information that he saw Baek Ah-young in her corner.
Others will be fighting the remaining demons in the center of the party and counting the remaining barriers backwards.
I ran alone to the corner where Baek Ah-yeong was, so it took quite a while for Ji-won to come.
He raised his mana by looking at the demons.
The number of demons was large, but each one’s abilities were mediocre.
I used a lot of mana while calculating the barrier of the rune, but fortunately, the result of increasing the amount of mana came out here.
Because I was still able to afford it.
Fire-!
After burning the demons away from Baek Ah-young, he grasped Baek Ah-young’s condition.
Tears like chicken droppings formed in her eyes, and her face was red.
“Be still. It will be over soon.”
The wound was great. Her clothes were torn off her back, revealing bones.
But Baek Ah-young’s skills are good enough. She should be able to heal in no time.
– Nope… Enjoy….
Wooddeuk-
I subdued the demons in an instant with my flame.
While looking at the piles of burning corpses, I took Baek Ah-young.
“Ahyeong. Are you okay? I’m waiting for you while I’m treating you.”
The risk factor has now been largely ruled out.
You just need to take Baek Ah-young and go to a place where people are.
But what Do you feel like you forgot something?
“Eh. Hoyeon-ah, thank you…”
Shuk-!
Pounding.
Something flew out of my box.
Cagan-!
Fortunately, I reacted quickly and blocked it with a cotton guard, but I wasn’t the target of the attack.
It was Baek Ah-young.
That buck that buck
A man wearing a grotesque skull mask emerged from a dark square holding a bleak sword.
“…Fuck it, fuck it.”
Why are you doing this to me every day?
From the momentum that was simply felt, it was on a different level from the poor demons earlier.
My body trembled with tension. At the same time, my heart beat rapidly.
The battle sense was activated.
‘This… Can you win?’
He sent an alarm to me saying that the sense of battle that had been heating up for the first time in a while was dangerous.
The stinging mana and death that came directly to the skin were the strongest among the enemies he had ever encountered.
Even I have to fight while protecting Baek Ah-yeong.
The target of that skull mask from earlier was definitely Baek A-young.
I don’t know why, but I’m aiming for Baek A-young.
“Ho, Hoyeonah. Run away. You have to run away.”
“Calm down. It’s okay.”
Baek A-young seemed nervous as well, perhaps feeling the unusual momentum.
“That’s the level of an S-class hunter. My target is me, so once I call people…”
“Just stay still.”
“This… This is such a situation….”
Baek A-young’s condition is not normal.
He must have been overly nervous because he met a very strong enemy. I will be afraid that I will die.
Now you have to be sure.
Confronting the skull mask, I slightly averted my eyes.
“I’ll save you somehow. Just watch Baek Ah-young.”
“N-You…”
Baek Ah-young, who opened her mouth in surprise and blinked her eyes, hid it behind my back and observed the skull mask.
Holding a sword seems to be fighting up close.
Pounding. Pounding. Pounding. Pounding.
My heart beat like a non-stop 8-ton truck.
My senses became sharper, and a sense of exhilaration rose as if the time around me was slowing down.
The magic power remaining in the body is about 1/3.
In the long run, there is no chance of winning.
‘It looks like someone made a plate.’
Coincidentally, the recently obtained skill is also an instant enhancement skill.
If you put a plate on the main character like this, you should do it. Because that’s the main character.
Burning the last remaining mana, he warmed up his body.
As I raised my magic power, the skeleton mask also took up a sword and stance.
Originally, demons groaned and couldn’t control their power, but seeing that they were so quiet, they were definitely strong.
‘Open eyes’
The eyes that began to glow in gold grasped the movement of the skull mask one by one.
By grasping the movement path of the joints and the flow of magical energy, one can predict where the attack will come from.
In addition, if you put magic power into your attack, you can also figure out the route.
Kaga-Gak—!
For a moment, the skeleton mask’s body became blurry. At the same time, I defended my whole body with a cotton guard.
The skeleton, which closed the distance at once, aimed at my limbs, but the sword only hit my shield.
Skeleton Mask didn’t care that the attack was blocked and continued the next slash.
‘Acceleration’
Tadak-
Kang!
I felt a tingling sensation all over my body.
Blade like wind five times.
It was aiming at my vital point exactly.
“Huh…!”
I even accelerated while using the open eye, but I couldn’t dodge all of them.
Blood was shed for the first time in a long time due to the sword strike that passed through his forearm.
A creepy sensation felt in my arm. But I wasn’t alone.
He created magic by targeting the cracks in the skull mask.
Hard-!
Ice began to rise from the feet of the skull mask.
It wasn’t easy to create magic while blocking and dodging attacks, but I did it somehow.
The skull mask also immediately generated magic and prevented freezing up to the ankles.
I didn’t mean to end with this either. The important thing is that it took some time.
I just found out through a crash.
It was just a war of nerves against the skull mask, but I had to do my best.
The difference in power was so great.
‘If I keep going like this, I will lose unconditionally.’
Throbbing.
It began to expand the mana circulating in its body.
My mana circuit widened, and mana output went up.
‘Blood beat.’
It is a skill that expands mana and expands the mana circuit.
Base value lasts 1 minute at 30% enhancement.
It’s a low figure now.
‘I’m not used to it yet, but I can’t help it.’
Output was further increased.
Her mana circuits were forcibly stretched, and she felt pain all over her body.
It hurts terribly, but I can bear it.
It seems that [Clear Mental Strength] Also increases the ability to endure pain.
I was able to move even though I felt like I was going to fall behind.
‘It’s only 10 seconds.’
The reinforcement now only takes about 10 seconds.
For 10 seconds, you can get a little ahead of the skull mask.
There was another thing I noticed in the brief clash.
The suit worn by the skull mask was resistant to fire and ice attacks.
The proof is that my magic was weaker than usual.
The fact that I prepared clothes that are resistant to fire and ice means that I have information about my magic.
And that could actually work for me better.
I have a lot hidden.
Pounding.
I endured the pain and released the magic of cold air.
Since it was a magic that was poured without sparing mana, the skull mask that came into contact with the cold stopped moving at the moment.
I couldn’t freeze the body of a skull mask stronger than me, so I froze the suit itself.
Seeing him flinch, he’ll soon get rid of that. It also has ice resistance.
Anyway, I only had 8 seconds left.
I poured all my remaining magic power into my right hand.
It would be over if this one room didn’t work anyway, so there was no need to save it.
Ung-ung-
The magical power of the spirally rotating wind coalesced into a sphere on his hand.
Because not a single drop of mana had been poured into it, a feeling of fatigue poured over his entire body and his eyes spun around.
It is a precursor to magical exhaustion.
However, he gritted his teeth and endured it as he walked towards the skull mask.
3 seconds remaining.
My limbs were shaking, but if I miss this opportunity, I can never win.
Kwade deude deuk —-!
The ‘Spiral’ I poured all my magic into was embedded in the skull mask’s heart.
At the same time, the ice magic on the suit of the skull mask was released and the sword was slammed down on me.
But the sword did not reach me.
The sword stopped near my shoulder and at the same time the body of the skull mask stood tall.
– Kreuk….
After hearing a faint groan from the skull mask that had been silent until now, the body slowly collapsed.
Thud!
The skull mask died with a hole in its chest.
And at the same time I got down on my knees.
“Hoyeonah!”
My head is spinning.
The 10-second duration of the ‘Blood Beat’ had already ended, and all I had left was an inexpressible pain.
I can’t fight this for quite some time.
I feel like the aftereffects will last a long time.
Dump-
My body, out of my control, collapsed to the floor.
Baek Ah-young came up to me, buried her face in my chest, and started whimpering.
“Why did you do that. Why…”
A warm light enveloped my body and the pain in my body lessened.
Even so, the result of the overlap of the exhaustion from mana exhaustion and the aftereffects of the Bloody Beat did not improve easily.
The tattered mana circuit was difficult to cover, no matter how much Baek A-young’s healing ability was.
“It’s okay… I’ll get better soon enough.”
“Huh… Inhale…”
Seeing Baek Ah-yeong receiving treatment while shedding tears, I felt more questions than gratitude.
‘The quest hasn’t been completed.’
The quest completion window does not appear.
The fact that the quest completion doesn’t appear even after Baek Ah-yeong was saved means that there is still a threat left.
Months-!
– Kruck….
Before dealing with the skull mask, Mine rose from among the burnt bodies of Mine and threw one of her daggers.
The fact that he collapsed as soon as he threw the dagger seemed to have gathered all his strength and attacked with his last strength.
“Oh shit…”
It seems that I couldn’t finish one properly, but I didn’t have any magical power left to block it with a cotton guard.
Of course, Baek A-young won’t die if she gets hit with that light dagger… I reflexively pulled Baek A-young’s body.
“Uh?”
And I used that weight to change my body and position.
Fush-
Fortunately, the dagger that stabbed me in the back did not penetrate deeply.
“Ah….”
But, it was fucking painful.
It must have been poison or drugs.
My body was as tingly as when I had been deliberately hit by an ogre before.
[Quest complete!]
A fucking baby.
The quest completion window that pops up as soon as I get hit by the dagger seemed to be teasing me.
“Why, why did you get hit with a dagger instead of me?”
Baek A-young’s voice trembled.
Seeing the dagger stuck in my back, it shined even stronger and healed me, but I had a hunch.
‘Ah, this must pass out.’
I know my body best.
I can’t stand this any longer.
“It wouldn’t have been dangerous even if I was hit. But why are you…!”
★ Heroine Status Window
[Baek Ah-young]
– [ Likeability: 100 ] (+ 0.8)
– [ Sex drive : 95 ]
– [ Appetite: 45 ]
– [ Fatigue : 75 ]
Current Status: What the hell… Is making me unbearable. Why….
“… Mr. Ayoung.”
I opened my mouth with all my might.
Every time I moved my tongue and lips, I felt a tearing pain.
“You still don’t know why I’m doing this?”
“Why, why are you doing this…”
Baek Ah-yeong was treating me, almost sobbing.
The timing is now. It was the perfect timing to bring out the confession.
However, I couldn’t get the words out after that.
Because my eyes are blurry
‘I’m sure he won’t open his eyes in hell.’
I hope you wake up in the hospital room. I hope Baek Ah-young’s favorability doesn’t fall.
I put all my strength into the flag, so I’m sure it won’t fall off, right?
– Hoyeonah… Hoyeonah!
I fainted as I felt Baek Ah-yeong crying and crying and clinging to me.
