Chapter 177 – Chapter 177
Everyone who was listening to my conversation with Lee Young-soo from behind looked around.
You don’t know when a large number of enemies will attack, so you don’t need any further explanation because I told you to prepare your mind so that you can rush into battle at any time.
Just one word I shouted in haste.
“Formation A!”
It was none other than my comrades who made a trained movement in response to my call.
We moved and settled down as promised in advance.
The one who stood in the forefront was, of course, Kim Isol.
This was the best for us who didn’t have a proper tank yet.
What’s more, it’s because they’re not ready for a full-fledged battle right now.
Healer Hong Eun-young is located right behind Kim I-sol.
And Lee Dong-geul behind him, and the senior behind him are aiming their bows toward the rear.
Basically, Hong Eun-yeong, a healer with B-class magic, is in charge of recovering the transcendental person, Kim I-sol, and Lee Dong-geul is in charge of healing Ahn.
If an unmanageable situation arises here again, Dong-geul is a simple formation that expands the absolute area.
“Ready!”
Hong Eun-young, with a rather serious expression, shouted at me.
This is not a simple formation targeting monsters.
It is a formation prepared in a hurry after the attack in the last golem dungeon, assuming that it will be attacked by multiple enemies, especially other transcendents.
Baek Hwa-yeon is missing…
The man shouted, but no further attack came.
Why?
Are you still looking at your liver?
Or are you not ready yet to corner us?
“I-we…”
“Don’t worry.”
I am Chae Min-woo and Chae-gwa-eun, brother and sister. There were two women who were in charge of support.
And they returned the magical powers of Cha Eun-il and Na Hyun-hee that they had captured today as they originally had.
“Thank you, Master.”
“Thank you bro.”
“…Do you trust me?”
Unlike the captives, Na Hyun-hee showed a bad expression.
Anyway, her magical power had been raised to S-1 at Clean Goblin Headquarters, so she only raised it one level higher.
Could you have put it up a little more?
“Well, but the current situation can’t be helped. There are too many enemies. It seems that we are completely surrounded.”
“That, that… How on earth do you know? Does that ability come from being as strong as you?”
“It can’t be. Persimmon. Persimmon. It seems that at least dozens of Transcendentalists are targeting us.”
Actually I’m lying.
When I force my teammates to move in pre-arranged formations, there is another hidden reason.
In order to completely separate the comrades from the captives.
This is because vegetables are still unreliable to siblings, Na Hyun-hee and Cha Eun-il.
It is true that invisible enemies are besieging us right now.
Despite Lee Young-soo’s cry, they show no signs of attacking, but the number is quite high.
But not more than ten people.
It’s just my bluff.
Why create a sense of crisis by inflating the number of enemies?
That’s no different
It’s just seasoning to weed out traitors.
“The number of super-transcendants is in the tens?”
The senior asked, still aiming his bow at her rear.
I’m sorry, but in order to fool your enemies, you have to fool your allies too.
“Even the number seems to be increasing. When the preparations are complete, a full-fledged attack will come. Be careful, everyone!”
“Go, Mr. Kang Jeong-hyeok! Sa, can I deal with you?”
“You’re good at healing Kim Isol. I’ll try to do something. And we have another transcendental ally. If Soeun, Minwoo, and Na Hyunhee and Cha Eunil cooperate, somehow…”
Saying this, I slightly turned my head toward the prisoners.
Which side are you on?
Now is your chance to get out of me and join the other side.
Why no response?
Are you going to fool us more?
Are you going to wait a bit longer and then attack from behind if you’re caught off guard?
Or do you sincerely consider me a colleague now?
“Brother. I will be in charge of the rest of the people’s stamina.”
Chae Min-woo exclaimed.
Since when did I become that bastard’s older brother?
“Just give me a sign anytime, Master. I’m ready!”
Chae-eun is looking straight into my eyes, lighting a flame on her palm.
I can’t feel the light of lies in the twinkling eyes.
Behind them, two women with only B- and C-level magical powers looked at me with tense faces and nodded their heads.
Those two who were on my side or betrayed can’t have an impact on this board.
And the only ones left are Na Hyun-hee and Cha Eun-il.
Na Hyun-hee’s sword is especially dangerous.
If I get hit from behind, I don’t know what will happen to me.
As much as that, I think her skill will be threatening in a 1v1 situation.
It is impossible to predict how much damage you will suffer if your blood crystallizes even if you only get a scratch.
Of course, if I were to deal with her, I could win with her one hand even with her eyes closed, but if I were to deal with her multiple Transcendentalists at the same time, I wouldn’t know what would happen.
But what was Cha Eun-il’s unique ability?
Clearly, he was a wizard.
I didn’t look closely at his unique skill because he was knocked down on the floor by Park Yu-ri in one shot, but I remember that it wasn’t that unusual or threatening given that it didn’t leave an impression.
Stop asking now.
“What kind of talent was Cha Eun-il?”
“I, I… You mean? That, that…”
He didn’t seem to know that I could even check my abilities by touching him.
No, more than that, that guy’s attitude right now is… Very suspicious?
At that time.
As if the preparations were complete, an attack came from the guys who surrounded us.
Also from all sides.
This is a place close to the sea from the research site, and various buildings are erected all over the place.
Their attacks rained down from the rooftops of other buildings except for the old building Park Yu-ri broke into.
“Coming! Be careful!”
Bang-! Kwakwawang!
I filled the sword with magic power.
And the rain of arrows and magic was bounced off using only one sword.
He moved quickly to protect not only his colleagues in the formation, but also the prisoners.
The magic attribute began to decrease rapidly.
“Kuh… I’ll focus on defense. Everyone, please locate the enemy and attack.”
Maybe they were afraid of my skills, but there were hardly any guys who came close.
Did the guys defending this place recruit mainly ranged dealers in the first place?
It was a missed attack, and the attacks that were deflected by me filled the surroundings with explosions.
Broken and fragmented fragments were scattered, and the surroundings quickly turned into chaos.
After a while, I noticed something strange.
Their attacks were strangely cautious.
As if the building that Park Yu-ri was in should never be destroyed, as if leading us to the other side, the attack flew.
Of course, I also thought of Park Yu-ri and didn’t deflect the attack there, but there was no doubt that there was something secret in that building.
“I’ll help you!”
I captured the way senior Ahn shot his bow in the direction the attack was flying.
And I also flew my sword in that direction.
If you defend yourself too much, you might find out that you are acting.
In particular, in the case of Na Hyeon-hee, because I indirectly experienced my skills in the last dungeon, I showed off my magic a little generously.
The wind tore off part of the upper part of the building in front of it.
I just pray fervently that no one is inside.
If he was still there at this hour, in the midst of all this fuss, that would be madness.
“Everyone beware! Mana is running out. Prepare to retreat.”
Deliberately overexcited.
If all the enemies are transcendent and have S-10 magical powers, they will agree with my story.
They are also attacking us, wringing out their mana, but I’m deflecting most of those attacks by myself.
In fact, my magic power, borrowed from Kim I-sol, has reached its limit.
But I still have two link targets left, and another trump card is ready in my left hand.
Even if you show them a little taste, they might get tired of calling you monsters.
“Slowly move towards the sea!”
From its current location, there was no way to reduce the direction of the attack other than to face the sea.
Choosing this path would also be a way to make them less suspicious.
Because of this, we slowly moved towards the dark sea, hitting various magic and arrows.
But what should I do?
Is it really that nobody betrays you?
Can I take care of them now?
I sneakily turned my head toward Na Hyun-hee and Cha Eun-il.
Those two are the most suspicious, but there has been no reaction so far.
The slightly suspicious part is that it seems to be cleverly hiding behind me and saving the consumption of magic power as much as possible.
But the same goes for my co-workers…
If you show a tee that your magic power is completely exhausted here, will you really reveal your true self?
Tens of seconds would have been enough, but during that time, I was concerned about whether my colleagues could defend against all the barrage of attacks.
However, now a decision must be made.
“What a man!”
Suddenly, a thick male voice broke through the loud explosion and hit my ear.
And I felt something unusual.
A whirlwind of tremendous magic power.
“Stop this one too!”
It seemed that someone was trying to activate his unique skill.
Have you seen how confident you are?
Maybe we want to use it because we are closer to the sea.
With this location, you won’t have to worry about damage to the laboratory… No, that old building.
While I was worried about what kind of attack would come, I focused my attention on Na Hyun-hee and Cha Eun-il and the prisoners behind me.
The enemy’s attack is so powerful that if I can’t block it, then they will be harmed as well as us.
If they’re spies, it’s probably not the time to keep acting if they don’t fully believe in my skills.
“Everyone be careful! You might not be able to completely block it.”
“…”
At some point, the arrows of magic and magic were cut off.
It was a very short time.
It was to the point where they mistook it for a moment of silence, as if they were accustomed to the sound of the alarm that went off throughout the laboratory.
And…
As if it was bright daylight, a huge swirl of light poured down on me.
Fuck… What kind of skill is this?
***
Knock… Knock…
“I’m the team leader!!”
“Don’t move!”
Seeing my arm, I cried and shouted at Lee Dong-geul, who was about to run.
“But… Captain… My arm…”
“Everybody stay in formation! I’m fine!”
My right arm was shattered as if it had been run over by a large truck.
Drops of blood dripped down and dripped down, and the clothes and suits I was wearing were all tattered.
A bloody arm was exposed between the clothes.
Blood flowed endlessly from his limp, limp right arm.
“Moving text! You can’t waste your mana right now. If you can’t get out of here, there’s no point in healing my arm! You do your job right there!”
It’s a little sorry for her, but she can’t help it.
Anyway, the maddening pain creeps in.
It feels like my whole body is paralyzed.
Fuck. I want to take my anger out on someone right now…
Cuuuuu…
I smiled evil inwardly.
This is because the target to take out his anger immediately began to act.
Finally… I finally started to move.
The real traitor who was standing next to me and deceiving me and my comrades.
The voice of the man who had just fired an enormous magic bullet came back.
“It’s amazing. He’s a great guy, as I’ve heard.”
As expected, a guy who knew me appeared.
Now you think it’s over and start to joke around.
“I never thought I would be able to cast off the magic with all my might with one hand. But because of that, I can no longer use that handsome arm.
“…”
I waited quietly
If the spying guy made a dangerous move, he had to stop it right away, and on the contrary, he had to get meaningful information from the talk of that man who used magic.
I waited for the right moment to move.
“Nothing to say. What’s good. What are you guys doing? Get rid of useless guys right away!”
I thought I would brag about this and that, but wasn’t I an idiot?
The traitors, who started moving immediately after his remarks, aimed at my colleagues, not me.
It seems that Ahn and Hong Eun-young are the targets.
Did you think Kim Yi-sol and Lee Dong-geul would be useful?
“Trash…”
I immediately changed the synchronization target.
From Kim Isol to Park Yu-ri.
The exhausted mana quickly rose to SS-10.
And… Those who betrayed me…
No
If you were a spy from the beginning, is the word betrayal a bit like that?
Anyway, it didn’t take even one second to defeat them.
