Chapter 710 – #6-2 Attack, Battle in the Night (3)
A white shooting star-like light that cuts through the dark night.
A golden ray of light follows.
The meteor that jumped out from the shadow of No. 13 kicked the woman in a suit who was approaching No. 13 and threw her away loudly.
Her body flew like a cannonball and completely shattered the wall of the building next to it, collapsing it and sending up a cloud of dust.
Tadak
A woman in a white uniform got down on the floor.
Rahe, the leader of the 7th division.
She, who had been at the event just a moment ago, flew here using her staff’s abilities at the same time as the call of Unit 13.
Rather than the usual smooth black hair, Rahe’s long hair was dyed a shiny gold color.
‘Staff, staff… ! Really, thank you… !’
No matter how bad it is, teleportation is impossible.
If it weren’t for the staff’s ability, I definitely wouldn’t have arrived on time… Thank god. I’m really glad.
“Well done, Rahe. Hurry up and grab the spade…”
“Not yet, No. 13.”
Rahe warned without loosening her stance.
And just as Rahe warned, her opponent walked out, kicking up the thick dust.
Although she had clearly been hit by an unexpected attack, she looked fine except for her clothes being a little worn.
More than that.
‘… Horns?’
I saw something growing on his forehead that wasn’t there a little while ago.
Small horns were sticking out on both sides.
If there was nothing wrong with No. 13’s eyes, the color of his hair also seemed to be strangely discolored.
… So, you’re not an awakened person?
Then what on earth are they dealing with?
“… It must have been at the event venue… “I’m a little surprised right now, Captain Rahe.”
“I came out a little early. “You weren’t seen at the event a little while ago. Where were you, representative?”
“Do you know someone, Rahe?”
“… Yes, well.”
It would be absurd to say that we are acquaintances.
At most, I only saw it once.
“Please wait, Captain Rahe. “Because I can at least introduce myself.”
A woman in a suit interrupts and speaks as if to interrupt Rahe.
“My name is Simcheong.”
“I am Baek Seol, the leader of the Hero Association, and I am his secretary.”
“Please, please take care of me. “You bastard villain.”
――Secretary of the Commander-in-Chief.
Number 13 opened his eyes wide at the polite introduction.
* * *
I have already heard from Mer about the chief secretary’s secretary.
She is the secretary of the commander-in-chief, who is shrouded in secrecy, and occasionally participates in events as his representative.
He is a person who knows the identity of the Commander-in-Chief, which is known only to a very small number of people within the Association, and was thought to be the only clue that could lead to the Chief Commander.
‘… After hearing the story from Mer, she asked Apple to gather information.’
Thanks to you, I know the basic personal information about that woman.
She has the address of her family’s house, and she is about a year older than Rahe.
‘And according to what Apple said… She must have been an ordinary person.’
Since there were no recent photos in the information obtained by Apple, she could not recognize it at a glance.
However, I have seen the photo from my student days that I had somehow scraped, and when I compared the image in that photo with the woman in front of me, I was able to clearly find some similarities.
Anyway, according to the information gathered by Apple, she would have been an ordinary person, from an extremely ordinary family, of ordinary birth, and not even registered on the government’s list of awakened people.
Of course, there were some unusual things, such as dropping out of school when she was in middle school, but other than that, there was nothing else that stood out.
If she was an awakened person, it is strange that she is not registered in the awakened person list.
Moreover, the fact that there were no abnormalities at the age of around ten, when she usually shows signs of awakening, seems to reinforce her hypothesis that she is not an awakened person.
――In that case.
――Then what is that woman?
Not an awakened person. However, she is not an ordinary person.
And how was it possible for that woman to become a close associate of the commander-in-chief?
I can’t figure out this or that.
“Anyway, it’s difficult. It’s Captain Rahe… I won’t lose, but it will take time.”
“… “You have great confidence.”
The commander-in-chief’s secretary, No. 13, spoke sarcastically in response to Cheong’s words.
Rahe is the strongest hand he has.
Saying ‘I won’t lose’ against Rahe like that is nonsense.
“No. 13. Just in case, please run away from me. I would like you to bring spades with you if possible… If you think it won’t work, please give up.”
“Rahe, what are you talking about? … There’s no way you’ll lose. Right?”
“… “I can’t guarantee.”
Sereung
Rahe pulled the sword from its sheath at his side.
Her hair was still dyed gold. She means that she will fight with all her heart.
“Don’t even think about running away, Villain No. 13. “If I get even the slightest hint of that, I will kill Spade, who is lying here.”
Cheong’s body, which spoke like a threat, was suddenly enveloped by something similar to a black wife.
After a while, after the fog cleared, the appearance that was revealed was very different from before, when he was dressed in an ordinary suit.
His body was covered in what looked like a traditional military uniform or mourning attire, and he wore something similar to a black hat on his head.
A short, heavy-looking bar is also held in one hand.
Her glasses had already disappeared since she had been kicked by Rahe a little while ago.
Is it because she is dressed entirely in black from head to toe?
As she looked, she seemed to have an eerie feeling somehow.
“The Grim Reaper… No, goblin?”
I thought he looked like the Grim Reaper in his mourning-like attire, but when I saw the horns still visible under the hat and the dagger in his hand, I remembered something like that without knowing why.
I’m not ancient enough to read children’s books, but why on earth did I think of something like that?
No, rather than that.
It’s the same with changing clothes like that, but also with the strange appearance that he doesn’t seem to be an awakened person… It was never a normal opponent.
You probably already knew that, but it feels even more so.
You have to run away.
Thinking like that, No. 13 touched the shadow at his feet while calling his staff in his heart.
Even now, the staff will still be watching the situation here through the shadows.
Warp through the shadows consumes a lot of power, and in addition to rescuing other villains, Lahe’s movement… The staff has already used up a lot of their strength.
Requesting warp again here will be a burden in many ways, but for now, I can only hope that the staff will use a little more force.
“Don’t even think about running away.”
At that time when No. 13 was nervous and trying to find an opportunity somehow.
As Cheong said that, he lowered his body for a moment and lightly tapped the floor with the baton in his hand.
A refreshing thumping sound rang out twice in succession.
And.
Hwiiiiing――
“… ?!”
A strange sense of discomfort immediately spread from the point where the club was struck.
Number 13 felt like he had goosebumps for a moment. After that feeling subsided, another problem came.
“… Staff?”
Number 13 touched his own shadow on the floor.
However, the connection with the staff that I felt just moments ago was no longer felt.
It’s not just a feeling. In reality, the connection between his shadow and his staff was severed.
Probably not only for yourself, but also for the shadows of Spade and Rahe that were set in advance…
“Oh my god… “What on earth is that woman?”
“Well… “I don’t know either.”
Even Rahe, who seemed like she didn’t know anything, doesn’t seem to know the identity of that woman.
The woman, unable to figure out the identity of her abilities or what kind of power she had in the first place, stood up again.
The ugly and foreign energy covering the body feels even stronger.
And as if to counter him, Rahe also raised her energy even more.
The golden energy covering her body crackles and burns, and the body of the thin sword she holds is entangled with a pure white cold energy.
Soon those two will clash.
Sensing that it would probably be her only chance, No. 13 whipped her own body and lifted her up. He takes out the gun hidden in her waist and holds it in her hand.
This gun is not for shooting that monster woman, it is for suicide.
At the same time as the two clash, No. 13 plans to kill himself and come back to life by shooting himself with this gun.
Although his body was in tatters in many ways, he managed to have enough magical power to be revived.
After that, I have to somehow run away with the spade in my arms.
The energy emitted by the fruit and vegetables is becoming stronger.
The intense magical energy emitted by the two also affected reality, causing special phenomena such as distorting the surrounding air or freezing moisture in the air to create sparkling dust.
The situation feels like a balloon filled with air to the limit, and as soon as anyone shows even the slightest movement, boom! It felt like it was going to explode.
――It moves.
Thinking like that, the moment No. 13 grasped the handle of the pistol tightly.
“Wait.”
The gathered energy, the powerful magic, disappeared in an instant, as if it had been erased.
Rather than erasing it on its own, all magical energy was forcibly erased, as if washing it off with water.
Rahe opened her eyes wide at the sight of a phenomenon she had never experienced before, and Cheong, who was confronting him, looked up at the sky with his eyebrows furrowed.
This situation is already dizzy enough.
A new character appeared from the sky this time.
