Chapter 457 – Friend or Enemy (11)
Angela, who has become her enemy, unleashes her evil spirit.
“Ugh…”
Seoyeon, who was next to her, turned pale.
It looks like he couldn’t withstand the pouring force and was crushed.
I lightly stroke the back of the guy holding my arm with one hand and my chest with the other.
“Breathe calmly.”
“Yes…”
After manipulating the surrounding flow to slow down her momentum, Seoyeon can breathe properly.
“I knew Angela was strong, but I didn’t expect her to be this much…”
The force of a ferocious beast clearly reveals its presence to everyone.
But that only conveys her superficial power.
You can only get to know the real her by standing up to the point where you can vaguely see her feet.
Or become her enemy and face her.
“That is a real apostle.”
Even though we are the same apostles, did we feel despair at the vast gap?
Seoyeon lowers her head, biting her lower lip with a somber expression.
Then, she gives a warning to her.
“It wouldn’t be fair if there wasn’t much difference in skill between that person and her senior.”
“…”
The guy who glances at her with his lips pursed and his eyes wide open.
Are you saying you’re sad that she didn’t listen to your side?
But when it comes to Korean, you always have to listen to the end.
“Don’t be impatient. “When Angela gets older, her senior will be stronger.”
“… “Do you really think so?”
“I don’t know anything else, but I have skills and I don’t lie.”
“Yes, that’s right. Dojin on that side is a wall window.”
A smile spreads across the guy’s mouth.
But that was only for a moment.
“However…, What should we do now?”
“… “I don’t know.”
I’m worried about that too.
How to overcome this difficulty.
We take a close look at Myungho Yoon hiding behind Angela’s back.
Contrary to his appearance of regaining his composure, his momentum has decreased significantly.
Yes.
Anyway, I guess so.
If she brainwashes Angela, who even wears a headband, it must be said that she played up her secret, but if it’s not up to her strength, it’s even worse.
Quickly picture the future situation in your head.
When I opened my mouth to share this with Seoyeon, he struck first.
“There is no need to talk at length. Just tell me what I need to do.”
Trust that is burdensome yet high.
“… “As I know from dealing with him a little while ago, my senior’s strength is the opposite of Brain Washer’s.”
“Yes, I felt it too.”
“So, deal with him again.”
Seo-yeon catches a glimpse of the other person and asks with a heavy expression.
“Mr. Angela…”
“I have to deal with it.”
“Fine… Do you understand?”
“No.”
Even as a joke, I can’t say it’s okay.
That’s how strong she is.
It’s comparable to Lu Bu, who was the strongest person I’ve faced so far.
“It’s hard to hold on for long. So the senior must do it.”
There is only one way to overcome a difficult situation.
“I have no choice but to put a sword to Myungho Yoon’s neck and stop Angela.”
Her role is also no different from others.
After all, her brainwashed priority is the leader’s life.
“As long as you hold his breath, Angela won’t be able to move quickly.”
A huge responsibility.
At this, Seoyeon, who was drooping her shoulders, soon nodded with a determined expression.
“I understand.”
“I can’t even help you this time.”
“I know.”
“… Even though it means that the probability of death is high?”
Death.
Seoyeon smiled brightly, not paying attention to the words that sent a chill down the back of her neck.
“I won’t die.”
“Huh?”
“If I die…, Dojin, you’re going to die too. So I will never die, and I will win.”
Yes.
That’s right.
“Okay, okay.”
I feel it.
The distance between me and my child, who could not shake off my parents’ feelings, became even greater.
I feel relieved, yet sad.
This is how you feel when you watch the child in your arms finally grow up and leave.
I don’t know if it’s because she’s in a good mood or because she’s empty, but she smiles and takes the bloody sword that was lying on the ground in her hand.
“Senior.”
“Yes.”
“If I run into Angela, I immediately take a detour.”
“I understand.”
“And one more thing.”
“What… ?”
She leaves her last words to Seoyeon, who is looking at her with her eyes wide open.
“From now on, you will never ask questions about the things I show you.”
I don’t think I can hide my power from that woman.
* * *
My heart is ringing.
Every time I feel like I’m about to explode, a pleasant surge of vitality flows through my body.
Pressure? Responsibility?
I don’t really feel that.
Even though it was definitely a crisis, I felt good.
‘Dojin’s life depends on me.’
In other words, he entrusted his life to himself.
What does it mean?
‘You believe in me.’
Childhood.
She asked her mom and her dad.
When did she feel loved by her mother and her father?
Then the two people gave the same answer as if they had planned it in advance.
-“Umm, well. When did you think it was okay to entrust your life to me?”
-“It was when I thought that it would be okay to entrust my life to this person.”
I didn’t know what it meant at the time.
Mom and Dad too.
I just kept repeating that I would understand when I grew up.
‘I understand now. What does that feel like?’
The love of my parents, who were just colleagues, really started to burn from then on.
Of course, not all colleagues you can entrust your life with will fall in love.
But she felt it.
‘It seems like there’s nothing that can’t be done.’
If you want to do it, there is no reason not to.
I thought to myself as I tightly gripped the handle of the sword, which felt lighter.
‘Let’s save it. I’m saving it. Yes, unconditionally.’
Even if it means dying, I will not betray that trust.
The moment when you start to feel more and more heavy.
Kwaang-!
Kim Do-jin, who was next to him, is shot out with a loud noise.
Son Seo-yeon follows his back with a look of astonishment.
Yes or no.
Kim Do-jin, who immediately closed the distance, slashed his sword towards the strong Cheolongseong.
Kaang!
A blow that was easily blocked by her raised shield.
In response, Kim Do-jin turns her head and sends her signal to Son Seo-yeon.
“Ah… !”
Son Seo-yeon suddenly came to her senses from that gaze and immediately launched herself.
‘Brain Washer… !’
With her goal in sight, which she had forgotten for a moment, she rushes forward in a sharp bend.
“This… !”
Kim Do-jin was standing with his whole body blocking his gaze, so Angela, who noticed this a beat later, immediately shook him off and tried to turn around.
“Where.”
She is stopped by Kim Do-jin, who quickly returns with a light step.
“Profit…, Get out of the way!”
“Did you look through it?”
“Damn you!”
Whoo!
A mace striking with the sound of strong wind.
“Yikes.”
He leaned back and dodged it, but quickly returned to his original position with great elasticity and threw out the sword.
Wedge!
“What a bother!”
A shield large enough to cover most of the upper body reacts and moves quickly no matter where it is stabbed.
Through this, she calmly recalculates her power.
I realized the loophole in her brainwashing.
Because of blindly following orders, the field of vision and range of thinking are greatly reduced compared to before.
That means that flexible thinking and movement are limited.
‘I guess I can hold out a little longer than expected.’
Of course, that doesn’t mean you can win against her with her ingenious moves.
Because the gap is not narrow enough to be narrowed with just that.
“Hriyaaa-!”
Angela roars like a beast and rushes at breakneck speed.
Although she is extremely heavy wearing heavy armor, her speed is also so fast that it is difficult to follow with the eyes.
You can’t even avoid it.
The moment she leaves this position, she can immediately reach Myeong-ho Yoon, who is confronting Seo-yeon Son.
‘I guess that’s what I wish for.’
In the end, there is only one option left to him.
‘I accept it.’
It is absurd for this slender body to be able to withstand the impact of such enormous power.
But now he is not a warrior, but a wizard.
‘A wizard has his own way.’
Use a tight flow.
It creates a wind so strong that it is difficult to even open her eyes and grabs her ankles.
Kwaaaaa-!
Countless bumps and pillars are created on the ground like a Silk Road to block her path.
Quad deuk!
Quack!
“Ugh… !?”
Speed reduced by all kinds of adversity.
Lastly, walls made of thinly twisted magical threads are erected diagonally in front of me.
Let some of the shock she emits go somewhere other than where she is standing.
And raises her sword at an angle to greet her.
Kwaaaaang-!
“Wow… !”
I can’t breathe.
The bones and muscles of the entire body are screaming for help.
Pakang!
The sword, which was unable to withstand part of the impact, makes a whooshing sound before finally breaking apart.
Crumbling!
Even with all that, the body cannot fully absorb the shock and only stops after being pushed more than 10 meters.
And only then does the breath that had been cut off open and I take a deep breath.
“Puh-ha!”
The battlefield freezes for a moment.
Angela’s fierce charge with all her might was blocked by her only man.
Myeong-ho Yoon’s confidence that she is the one who will save him from this fight is lost.
And Son Seo-yeon was so shocked that she froze in the position where she was holding her sword.
Kim Do-jin’s swordsmanship to stop Angela.
It was my father Son Si-woo’s swordsmanship.
Not even at the level of imitation, but almost perfect.
‘How did Dojin get her father’s sword…? ?’
Her mind was confused by a scene that was difficult to understand.
