Chapter 772 – #6-21 Trust Me, Just 10 Minutes (3)

Apple doesn’t know what that piece is or what the joint is.
Apple uses a backdoor planted in the Hero Association to regularly monitor their intranet.
Then, by chance, information about ‘a certain substance’ was shared, and after confirming that it was treated as a highly confidential matter, I went to look for it myself… That’s it.
That is a fragment of an item stored in a suspicious research facility under the Hero Association, but not revealed to the public.
The prototype that was being stored was not something small that could fit in the palm of your hand, but a cubic object so large that it could reach Apple’s chest.
I was able to recover one of the fragments that had been separated for research by tricking the records and materials, but it didn’t mean much.
It was simply to figure out what this object was, whether it was dangerous, and what the contents of their suspicious research were.
First, we pulled out as much of the research materials and data that remained there, but unfortunately, Apple was not a researcher involved, so we couldn’t recognize it.
Now, I was waiting for the analysis results, leaving it to Dorothy, the organization’s scientist.
‘It hasn’t even been properly analyzed yet, so suddenly…’
Apple stands silently, holding a shining stone in her hand.
The prototype is called a ‘cube’. And that stone is a very small fragment of the cube.
However, I knew that just the smallest fragment was dangerous enough.
It’s an instinctive intuition. That thing is like a biochemical weapon that you shouldn’t even look at.
“No. 13, are you okay…? .”
Apple muttered worriedly as she wiped the nosebleed from No. 13’s nose with a tissue.
An ominous amount of light is still emanating from the fragment held in the hand.
It’s been 5 minutes since No. 13 became like this.
There is still more than half left until the 10 minutes.
It’ll be okay, right? Something won’t happen in those 5 minutes, right? I hope nothing happens.
Even if No. 13 doesn’t get the results you want, I hope you at least come to your senses… I pray earnestly.

10 minutes.
Number 13 said 10 minutes.
But Spade knows that those words are just hoped.
I don’t know exactly what he is trying to do, but I do know that when he uses uncertain methods, he speaks so firmly and boldly.
As if to avoid being exposed to one’s anxiety.
‘No. 13 is also anxious.’
‘That fool doesn’t want to see any of us die.’
‘It’s the same for anyone, not just us.’
‘In addition to being a villain, that fool is an idiot who can’t abandon anyone.’
Is it because he is an awakened person? Or is it because the given environment is like that?
Spades have a rather poor sense of human life. Probably not only Spade, but also the members of the 7th Division and countless heroes and villains.
In the first place, this country did not grant human rights to awakened people.
You can die as much as you want. There is no way for the country to control them anyway, so I won’t care whether you kill each other or not.
Of course, this is gradually improving over time, and special laws are being created to deal with awakened people.
But we have already passed countless deaths.
Maybe that’s why, now I don’t feel much excitement whether a colleague dies or another enemy.
She appears to value her companions, but she only half-consciously makes it seem that way.
She just consciously chooses to do it so that no one dies, if possible, because she thinks it’s right, and she thinks it’s right.
If doing something saves someone from dying, then just do it.
If you know that no matter what you do, you can’t save it, you may feel a little sad, but you won’t try anything reckless.
Number 13 said that she didn’t like Spade’s self-sacrificing behavior.
I don’t understand how Spade would defile and sell her self for the sake of her companions.
But that’s not it. The reality is a little different.
It’s just that Spade isn’t too obsessed with himself.
She just doesn’t value herself.
So she could sacrifice herself to her heart’s content. By desecrating herself, she was able to save her comrade. Because she thought it was right, she thought it was justice, she thought it was ‘human’.
However, this is not the case with No. 13.
He is so selfish that he says he is the most precious.
I hope that no one around him disappears due to such a topic.
There is too much greed. I hope no one sacrifices, no one dies, and no one loses.
It’s so selfish. The world is not easy enough for everything you want to come true.
If you reduce that desire just a little more, if you loosen your standards a little more, if you know how to throw away a little more things.
Then his life would have become a little easier.
Just this time, if he just used the members of the 7th division as bait and ran away, wouldn’t he have survived?
I feel so foolish for not being able to do that, and it makes me think that life is really difficult.
After meeting such a man, Spades would have changed as well.
In a world where everyone says, ‘I don’t care if you die,’ there was a man who said things like, ‘Don’t die,’ and even Spade changed.
If it were not long ago, I would have quickly resigned and given up and thought there was nothing I could do.
Now I’ve come to think that I don’t want to die.
She cried and said she didn’t want to die and ended up pampering No. 13.
Number 13 is a villain. He is a villain. He is an outrageous villain. Someday you will be punished. I don’t know when that will be someday, but for now, someday will be someday. He will not forget the humiliation and humiliation inflicted on him. I will definitely take revenge.
But.
Even Spade no longer wanted No. 13 to die.
As No. 13 hoped, he came to hope that no one would die.
I didn’t want to give up.
So.
‘I don’t know if No. 13 will be able to come or not. If that’s the case…’
‘Let’s overcome it among ourselves.’
Let’s subdue that woman. Let’s take that woman down. It’s 10 minutes, and regardless of whether No. 13 comes or not, I’ll take down that woman.
Then he won’t have to kill anyone. Then No. 13 won’t get hurt. His wish comes true. He also thinks that he can be satisfied.
So, so, so–

“【The Lion of Nemeth! Lerna’s Hydra! The wild boar of Erymanthus!】”
“【All twelve tasks are engraved on this body. And through this body, through trials, it goes beyond humans and reaches God!】”
“【With my power, I will build a new pillar and become a new star that defeats disaster!!!】”
With the words of the chant ringing loudly, Spade’s body was enveloped in red energy.
The red energy enveloped not only his body but also his weapons, further strengthening his body and weapons.
The goblin’s red-hot club is swung, and the spade catches it from the front and stands strong.
Even so, she was unable to withstand it completely and her shaft shook, but in the meantime, Chek took advantage of Jeokhwa’s gap on her other side and stabbed her with his baton.
The rod, which was swung with the blue magic power of the check, was trampled by Jeokhwa’s feet and smashed into her floor.
“Tch… !”
The movements of the three people, including Jeokhwa, stopped for a moment.
And aiming for that gap, the club’s bullet flew in.
Bullets imbued with terrifying magical power are blocked with a barrier created in the air by forming a seal.
However, at that moment, Check, who had been trampled by the bar, pulled his body back and regained his freedom, and Spade regained his balance and regained his stance.
And then clash again.
The blue magic of the check and the red magic of the spade, plus the purple energy of the red flower, collide with each other and fall repeatedly.
During the eye-popping attack, the bullets from the clubs that flew in from time to time continued to divert the enemy’s attention or cause minor loopholes.
Then, in response, Check widens the gap in the opponent’s attack with his flexible movements and quick attacks, and the spade stabs from the blind spot to fill the gap thus created, delivering an effective hit.
Originally, Goblin Jeokhwa would have believed in its strong body and unique energy that protects its body like a shield, and would have focused only on aggressive attacks like a wild boar.
But the existence of spades made that impossible.
Originally, she had a spirit that couldn’t exist in her.
For her, who was a goblin that was in contrast to her good people, the attack with her good energy was fatal.
As a result, Seongi mixed with the magic power of the spade, and the blow of the spade strengthened by such magic power was clearly increasing the number of effective injuries within the enemy fire.
‘Is this the work of Snow White? ? Surely she knows that bitch put a spell on her… It’s a matter of the main body, but I can remember it.’
‘But to the extent that she has been under a spell, is it possible for such a strong sense of goodness to be mixed up? A person without qualifications will not be able to accept good fortune, right? It has to disappear with time?’
‘No way… Does that mean you have qualifications? This woman too? What are the qualities of a good person?’
I don’t know the details. Goblin Jeokhwa is not the type to think and analyze such small things.
Thinking about such things one by one… It is not pleasant.
“This isn’t fun!!”
As the speed increased with each repeated attack and the method of connection also became more diverse, the enemy, who had been busy responding, suddenly switched to an offensive.
Paying no attention to her check attacks, she withstood the incoming club fire with her bare body and stretched out her arms aiming only for the spade.
The spade narrowly avoided her flying hand as if it was blocking her vision.
However, as if she didn’t want to lose sight of her, the iron club she was already wielding with her other hand flew towards her spade right after she had dodged it.
‘Impossible to avoid, a surefire move!’
With this, you will be able to get rid of the most annoying woman.
The club of red flowers smiles while thinking like that.
Even though it hit her spade directly, it somehow passed through her body as if cutting through the air.
This is… This is… !?
“Ugh… ?!”
Coco’s welcome.
The illusion, which had been elaborately created as if it had been deliberately aimed at just this moment, completely captivated the enemy in a high-speed battle where it was difficult to make proper decisions.
A perfect gap was created like that. The stick of her check digs into the space between her feet, which is turned away from her, further disrupting her posture, and her check screams accordingly.
“Attack!”
“Under… Aaaaa!!”
Ugh!!!
Immediately after the command to check was given, the tonfa containing the magic power of the spade dug precisely into the enemy’s side.
The exact spot where I first broke into the spades and threw a kick.
A place where he was hit directly without any defense, and was seen spinning around as if he was trying to protect it in the battle that followed.
There, the spade’s attack, a final blow that exceeds the effective number of hits, strikes directly.
Ugh… Ugh… !
Once again, Jeokhwa’s body tilted significantly.
Check’s possessed Bongjutsu knocks her body again and raises it up so that it doesn’t fall down.
The tonfa wrapped in red magic is swung again in accordance with it.
This time, I hit the enemy’s chin.
Next, the stomach, then the back, then the legs, then the hips, then the arms, then the armpits, then the top of the head, then next, next, next. .
Each weapon, each kick, is imbued with the power to kill, and the enemy is attacked.
Red fire can’t do anything. Turned into a punching bag, the body is forcibly raised by the check and repeatedly hit by the spade.
I thought the blood would explode, but it was strange that instead of blood, black smoke-like energy came out. But it’s not something to worry about.
“With this, it’s over… !!”
Lastly, he aims for the enemy’s solar plexus and swings the tonfa with his final magical energy.
And just before the tip of the tonfa touches the enemy’s body.
Wow… !!
“… !?”
Spade’s hand holding the tonfa was blocked by Jeokhwa’s hand.
