Chapter 186 – Helping the Guild as a Multi-Talented Awakener
The whirlpool boss exploded in one blow in front of my eyes.
“What. When did that person fly in and hit me?”
“That’s it too… It’s great power.”
“The boss disappeared with one punch!?”
From my perspective, this boss flew by in vain.
Everyone who was running stopped due to the backstorm and looked blankly at the exploded boss location.
“What about the boss? Is he dead?”
“No. No. The gate status is the same. Everyone, don’t let your guard down!”
Everyone looked around nervously at the sight of the gate still covered in fog.
I also looked around and gathered my strength into my fists again.
‘I think I definitely brushed it.’
I was sure I hit the whirling guy.
The same thing goes for the shape disappearing due to the force.
However, as the hunters said, the gate environment remained foggy.
The thing I hit was most likely a dummy, not a boss.
-Suuuuu.
“The fog is gathering again on the left!”
“As expected, you’re alive! Ready for battle again!”
The hunters began to advance again as they saw the whirlpool.
-Whoa!!
“It’s coming!”
The vortex has now begun to blow out its breath in the front.
A huge shield appeared in front of the hunters who were maintaining the front line, blocking one attack from the boss.
“Push against the wind as much as possible!”
“Aaaaah!!”
The red shield I made grew bigger and approached through a really strong wind.
After facing the whirlpool boss like that, the hunters threw away all their attacks.
This time, the vortex exploded due to the indiscriminate attack.
“Baby! It’s no big deal!”
“… No, the gate is fine this time too.”
“What?”
“Swirl in the back!”
“Damn it! Put up your shield again! The shrinking breath is coming again!”
This time, the whirlpool boss took shape again and glared at us.
No, more precisely, those related to magical power.
I stepped to the side and watched the situation, but it was the boss who was only targeting the hunters, ignoring me as if he couldn’t see me.
“… Wait a moment. All hunters, please stop using your abilities.”
“What. What?”
“What does that mean!”
“I beg you. Please follow my instructions.”
“First… I understand! Just put up a shield in front of you! Stop using your abilities!”
As soon as the hunters’ attacks stopped, the whirling boss was only creating wind in its place and showing no movement.
“What. That kid isn’t doing anything.”
“Could it be that they reacted to our abilities and came to us and even launched a wind attack?”
“Looking at the current situation… I would say that there is a high possibility of that happening.”
I thought it felt strange, but what I expected was correct.
The boss guy didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking us when we stopped attacking him.
Clearly, seeing that there was no red or blue energy, it seemed like an inanimate object without will.
To be honest, I’m not sure if that’s a spirit species.
If you look at its form, it looks like a wind spirit, but what can I say? It looks like a whirlpool containing the power of the spirit.
-Hyeonmu, is that a spirit?
“… I can definitely feel the spirit’s energy.”
-That means it may not be a spirit.
“I’m confused too. Oh…”
I think this is Hyunmu’s first time seeing something like that.
“Hmm.”
“What should we do now?”
The spirits are spirits, but the hunters are also confused.
Everyone was looking at the boss, who was filled with strange sensations, and no one knew how to deal with it.
“We have to get rid of that so the number of people inside the gate will grow again.”
“A way out will appear.”
“The compensation will be generous.”
But everyone was at a loss when they saw the boss they couldn’t catch.
“It seems like the only way is to find the entrance and exit. Just like the man from the Sun Guild who headed to the entrance alone earlier.”
“I agree with that.”
“Damn. I thought we were there. But this is our first time! Did we just come to solve the gate gimmick!”
When everyone saw the boss, only the word ‘victory’ filled their minds, but the boss kept coming back to life even after he died.
I was feeling discouraged as I watched the guy emit a foggy wind that shrunk when attacked.
“Jageun? Is there another way?”
“I don’t know either. This is my first time experiencing something like this.”
Maybe it was because of the puzzle they couldn’t solve, but everyone looked at me with an expectant look in their eyes.
But I am also a person like them.
Even if a boss like that suddenly appeared, I couldn’t solve it.
‘What kind of boss is a scarecrow? It’s like a device to chase hunters. Write. I wonder who made something like that.’
As he said, it was like an experiment tool created by a crazy genius scientist.
Something like a dummy object or trap that you take out when you need it and run away.
“Wait. An object?”
I quietly took out my phone.
‘If it’s an object… Can’t you pick it up and put it in the warehouse?’
With that in mind, I approached the whirlpool boss alone.
“Hey…! It’s dangerous to go up alone… It’s too close!”
“That person, Park Ja-geun, probably knows better than anyone else. Let’s just watch what he does.”
I turned the background screen showing the warehouse on my phone to show the boss.
And as the vortex passed by the phone, I began to see it slowly getting smaller.
‘… It was a real thing.’
The wind slowly entered the warehouse.
Also a whirlpool with two red eyes.
“Disappear. Disappear.”
“That person… What did he do?”
“It looks like you were holding something in your hand?”
“… Is it some kind of sealed cube?”
“I guess it was used as a last resort.”
“Maybe so. Like that dragon slayer in Japan. Sealed.”
As the boss entered my phone, the fog gradually disappeared.
And as the fog cleared, I could see hunters in the distance, and even grass up to my knees.
Then, even wild animals such as rabbits and snakes came into view.
“The gate over there is open!”
“Okay! Find the scattered people and escape!”
“Find out what rewards there are!”
That’s how we succeeded in clearing the S-class gate.
***
“Park Ja-geun… Did you fall into the bathroom?”
Seo Ha-rin realized that a long time had passed as she concentrated on her backlog of work in the quiet office.
The first thing I was conscious of was the presence or absence of Park Ja-geun.
The man apparently called him as a volunteer, but he went to the bathroom and still hasn’t returned.
Seo Ha-rin did not wait any longer.
I frowned and got up from my seat.
Soon she opened the office door and headed to the bathroom.
“Mr. Park Ja-geun?”
…
Let’s shout while looking inside the bathroom. He could only hear his own voice echoing, and there was no voice coming back.
“I didn’t know he was this kind of person. I’m disappointed.”
It was Seo Ha-rin who couldn’t help but frown.
“I really need to tell the company about this. No matter how much the Cross Guild has weakened, it’s not polite to run away like this.”
Seo Ha-rin grumbled and returned to the office.
-Tta-ring-ta-ring!
At that time, I heard the phone ringing in the office and answered it right away.
“Yes, I am Seo Ha-rin.”
“Mr. Harin! Were you working on it? You finally received it!”
“Uh. Woobin? How did Woobin contact you? He must have been caught inside the S-class gate.?!”
Seo Ha-rin was wondering if this was a dream when she heard the voice of Woo-bin, her guild mate.
They clearly entered the S-class gate and disappeared.
“Haha. This is it! It’s all thanks to Park Ja-geun, who applied from Cross Guild!”
“That person. Pretended to go to the bathroom and then ran away. Ah.”
Seo Ha-rin remembered Park Ja-geun asking where her S-class gate was.
She said there was definitely a danger fence, so anyone could tell if they passed near it.
“No way. Go there alone!”
“Hello? Seo Ha-rin?”
“Where are you now!? Mr. Woobin!”
“Ah. Surprise. We have just come out of the gate. This is… I mean… It is towards the Imagine intersection.”
“I’ll go with Gilma right away! Just stay there and wait! Be sure to tell Mr. Park Ja-geun to wait too!”
“Ah. Yes. I understand.”
Seo Ha-rin shook herself off, got up, kicked open the door to her office, and went out.
“Ugh.”
“What are these guys. Again.”
She also saw a thug tied to a red pole, but she didn’t think it was important right now, so she headed straight to her vehicle.
As she left, three talented gangsters secretly appeared where the gangsters were tied up.
“Did you go?”
“I think so, brother.”
“Let’s solve it quickly!”
The gang leader ran towards the two who were tied up together with their two younger brothers.
“Miss. It won’t work out! Brother!”
“It’s the superalloy scale hammer I brought earlier! Hit it with this!”
“Yes! Brother!”
-Boom!
“Ugh!! Fuck! My hand!! It’s numb!”
“Crazy. How did the hammer crack!!!”
“What are you doing? We have to solve it quickly! If we don’t escape now, we’ll all die!!”
The three of them worked hard to save their comrades.
However, I was sweating profusely as I looked at the ropes and pillars that did not budge.
“If you get hit, you die.”
“I wish I knew! Quick…? Hmm?”
The main gangster is hitting the pillar hard with a pipe. His whole body trembled at the sound of a voice coming from behind him.
When I glanced back, I saw a man yawning and covering his mouth.
“Damn. You idiot!”
“Ah. So, brother. Did you bring what I told you about?”
Jageun looked at them and smiled.
“… I brought it!”
“Those guys from the Sun Guild. Were definitely planning to blow up the Cross Guild.!”
“Oh, that’s right. Let me take a look.”
The captain took out a paper bag from his inside pocket and handed it to me with both hands.
When I received it and looked inside, a small chip and various pictures caught my eye.
The photo included a photo of the inside of the S-class gate and a photo of the whirlpool boss that I kept in the warehouse.
“How do I use this chip?”
“Earlier. If you insert it into a pen and write it.”
“Ah.”
I looked straight at the hole in the rampart. There were other chips besides the ones I had, so I took them out and put them in.
-Chichik… Ik… I reached the top of the Sun Guild… I contacted the boss. This is. Dangerous.
‘Jeong Sang-gil… Wasn’t he the guy who first used Jeonghwa?’
I didn’t see him during the final boss battle.
He remembered that he left alone and left through the entrance.
– Resist all attacks… Or rather, if a certain amount of force is applied… It shoots out a strange wind and makes the creature smaller. Uh… Huh!? Hey! What did you do! Wow!!
Everyone knew about Jeongsang-gil, but Ji ran away alone. I knew that I would never be able to catch the boss.
‘I guess I was betrayed in the end.’
And yet you didn’t say anything.
I wondered if he was thinking of taking revenge himself.
Or maybe he’s planning to use us as bait to escape safely to the gate entrance.
I don’t know exactly. Because you can’t know everyone’s thoughts.
‘We’ll probably meet again later~’
“Good. The Sun Guild already knew how dangerous that S-class gate was.”
“Yeah. That’s right. Then now.”
“Hmm. I think there’s more to it than this.”
“. Well. So we did our best. That was all the information we could find.”
“Huh? I feel a little disappointed like this, bro.”
“Damn… It’s true! I barely found it! Ugh? Ugh!!!”
The guy with his mouth fluttering sat down, clutching his ears.
“It’s noisy. I’m talking to my brother.”
“Stop it! Stop harassing your younger siblings! Please.!”
“Haa… Bro. This isn’t enough to put pressure on the Sun Guild. Wait… Aha! So you knew that too and tried to free the two you tied up there instead of waiting for me?”
“Ugh.”
“It’s a shame. If I had just one more piece of information, I would have saved them… Ugh… Let’s all die here.”
“I hate poetry!..!”
“Ugh! What a bastard!!”
In front of my frightened younger brothers, the leader gangster ran towards me alone.
“Brother!”
“You two, run away!!”
“He’s my brother!!”
When I saw the captain gangster holding my ship, I unleashed the blood magic I had gathered into his grasp.
“Did the princess do this… Memory erasure?”
The flashes of light around me headed towards the thugs’ heads.
With the light, the captain and the gangsters all fell to the floor, drooling.
“It’s okay, right?”
After making all the blood pillars and shackles disappear, he turned back from the scene.
And soon the gangsters rose up one by one.
“Uh oh. Uhh.”
“Why are you here.?”
“Tongue. Bro?”
“Miss. Did you drink too much and pass out again?”
“Ahaha.”
While listening to those jokes, I thought to myself that it was a success and continued on my way.
“Ugh! Now let’s go get the reward~”
I was very excited to see what kind of expression Seo Ha-rin would greet me with.
