35. I told you, I’m strong! (1)

After my greetings were over, under the instructions of my older sister, Zia, a list of people and teams appeared on the hologram in front of me and I began to plan a strategy based on that.

Equipped with the ability to navigate, Zia was able to link her abilities to a device so that everyone could see where the demons were coming from.

The procession of demons started from the now-disused Namsan Line 3 tunnel. They were coming up the main road, and the demons flying in from the sky seemed to be following them.

The only good thing is that the demons are following us as we come up.

If they come from multiple directions… it’ll be harder to defend.

In that situation, after Jia grasped the situation, she started to deploy people while checking the surrounding map, and the people in the situation room relayed that to the team.

First, we will place long-range abilities on the wall around the plaza in front of the Seoul Metropolitan Government building where the current situation room is located to keep them in check.

He sent forward those with the ability to create traps and barriers, and instructed them to stop the movements of the demons.

At the same time, a team was sent to escort them and then they were given the role of reconnaissance by hiding in the surrounding buildings.

Other teams were assigned to follow them, escort them, and create barriers to prevent the flow of the demons to other settlements.

When Jia’s instructions were over, we approached her and asked what we should do.

” First of all, you said that Yeonseo can control from a distance with her summons, right? Then go to the wall and support them. Honestly, there aren’t many people who can control as much as Yeonseo right now.

And Hyunseok, go with the team that sets up the traps. I heard that you can erase or detect sounds, right? ”

” Yes, I understand. ” / ” Got it. ”

Yeonseo went out with the people heading to where she had to go, and Hyunseok grabbed my hand and hugged me.

” Then, I’ll go first. You take care, okay? ”

” Yeah, the brooch… do you have it? ”

” Of course. Since you gave it to me, I will always treasure it. ”

” Then that’s fine… ”

When I was feeling a little embarrassed by the way other people were looking at us, Hyunseok released one of the arms he was holding onto, grabbed my chin, and started kissing me.

I felt a little regretful at the short kiss that ended right away, so I looked at his lips leaving mine. He smiled faintly and whispered in my ear.

” After defeating the demon, you two knew each other like that night, right? ”

Those words made my lower abdomen ‘tingle’ and reminded me of the night I spent with him.

My body was gradually being taken over by his touch. The sensation of unimaginable pleasure rushing in every time he touched me. His desire to make me completely his woman.

I buried my face in his arms and nodded slowly.

‘ Ugh… it might be a little… wet… ‘

With those words, he headed towards the team with the personnel who would be contacting the situation room with him.

As I was leaning against the wall next to me, exhaling with excitement to cool down my body that had heated up from his words, Zia approached me.

” Huh~ You really love each other so much that it’s like honey dripping down your cheeks? ”

” Ugh… ”

” Well, it’s okay because it looks good… But since you and I are family now, please don’t let other people see it. ”

” Why…? No, you don’t have to say it… I want to, but… ”

” It doesn’t matter because the people here now are people who have been with us, but it’s not like they are the only people in this world. ”

After hearing Jia’s words, I looked at my brother and saw that he was quietly working and talking to other people.

Even if you were the first to conquer the tower, it doesn’t mean that the people who were with you back then are still with you today.

There must have been a lot of things that happened while conquering the tower and establishing a settlement, and even if there were people working together, there must have been people who left or people who had conflicts.

Zia, my sister is warning me that people related to my brother are not necessarily friendly to us.

” Don’t worry. Even if someone like that appears, I’m strong! ”

” Hehe, really? Then that’s good. ”

” What should I do instead? ”

They gave roles to Yeonseo and Hyeonseok and sent them to that team, but they didn’t say anything about me, so I asked them if they were trying to put me aside because I’m family.

” You? Of course you… act alone. ”

” Solo… action…? ”

Moving on your own without being part of a team… What on earth are you thinking?

As I tilted my head as if I didn’t understand, my sister stroked my head and opened her mouth.

” First of all, I feel like you’re too valuable to be left with other people. So I think it’d be better for you to move on your own.

It’s okay to catch a demon by yourself, and you can heal too, right? So I think it’s better to move alone and help people in danger. ”

” If that’s the case… I like it too. Yeah! ”

” Oh! And you said it can fly too? ”

” Huh? Huh… right…? ”

My sister smiled meaningfully and grabbed my shoulder.

” Will you take care of the devil in the sky? Okay? ”

” Ha, I see. That’s about it… So what type of demon is it? ”

” Wyvern. ”

” What…? ”

When I raised my head, wondering if I had heard wrong, my sister showed me the tablet device she was holding.

In that device was a Western dragon. A very small creature that could not be called a dragon.

It had a snake-like face, but it had horn-like thorns growing out of it, and instead of having legs like a dragon, it only had a pair of wings.

It looks like a large snake with wings attached.

It had a tail shaped like an arrowhead or a diamond.

What’s unique is that there are several different types of wyverns on the device.

” There are so many types…? ”

” Yeah, but you don’t have to overthink it. Just color-code it as you see it.

First of all, I think the red guy here is the original… It can only breathe fire and such like we’ve seen in comics, novels, and movies. That’s why we call it the ‘Red Wyvern’.

Next up is this green guy. This guy doesn’t breathe fire, but he has sap and purple thorns running from his head to his tail. Watch out, he shoots these thorns.

Well, as you can see, this guy’s sap and thorns are covered in deadly poison. ”

” Hmm, that’s as expected. And this blue guy uses ice, right? The yellow guy uses lightning. ”

” Right. And this guy here… is a bit unusual. He’s a pretty big individual on his own. ”

As she said that, the wyvern that my sister showed me was definitely a unique creature. It had three heads and its entire body was black.

‘Black… As expected, this guy is…’

As I was looking at the guy seriously, Zia snatched the device away.

” Well, don’t worry too much about it. This guy is only near Namsan Tower, he didn’t come here. ”

” What does that mean? ”

” I’ve been to Namsan Tower a few times before. Of course, it was only recently that I discovered Namsan Tower…

Anyway, I met the guy back then, but he only hung around near the tower and didn’t try to go any further. ”

” Really…? Well then, that’s good… but by any chance, do you know what kind of guy he is? ”

While Jia was thinking deeply, I heard my brother’s voice behind me.

” Since he has three heads, he can use other guys’ techniques. But… the scariest thing is the breath he uses when his head becomes one… You have to be careful with that. ”

My brother started touching his left arm with a serious expression.

When I treated him, he was already in the process of being transformed into a demon by Thanatos’ energy, but it seems that there were already problems before that.

” Did you get hit by that guy…? ”

” What, a little? It’s okay since it was my left arm anyway. Even if it wasn’t, you would have treated it, right? ”

” Haa, that’s true…! ”

After that, when I nagged him saying, “Have you ever thought about how worried I am?” he patted my head and said,

” Okay, I got it. Are you okay with that? ”

” What? ”

” You broke up with your boyfriend, right? ”

” Of course I don’t like it. But I can’t help it. This is the best I can do. ”

At my words, my brother tapped his head and laughed.

” Wow, that guy is really amazing. To be able to fool my little brother like this. ”

” Ugh… ”

” Well, anyway, you’re not going to have to deal with all those wyverns alone. Don’t worry, the team with Yeonseo will give you some support. ”

” Okay. So when should I start moving? ”

” I think I should go right now? ”

When I looked at the hologram in the center and saw the place my sister next to me was pointing at, I saw something approaching me faster than I expected.

The demon on earth is still far away, but the demon in heaven is coming here at a fast speed. As I try to quickly get out, my brother’s hand grabs my arm.

” Wait. It’s not too late to go and check the situation with Zia. ”

” Okay… so those guys are coming? ”

My sister checked the hologram and the device alternately.

” That’s true… but there are quite a few. Right now, it seems like half of the guys coming here are speeding up. And in the middle of them… ”

” You mean that three-headed guy? Got it. ”

” Hey, wait a minute! How dare you do that…! ”

As I opened the door and went out, I turned my head and smiled and spoke to them both.

” I told you. I’m strong! ”

He turned around and ran out, heading to the rooftop.

In the sky seen from the rooftop, a group of demons had already formed like black clouds and were approaching us. I jumped down from the rooftop, spread my wings, and flew towards them.

There’s a strong aura coming from that black cloud. Surely, it must be that three-headed thing.

People watching me running towards the clouds at high speed.

You could also see Yeonseo’s figure in it.

The reason I’m acting like this now… is because I’m doing what I can for these people and the people I care about…

So that you don’t experience the same sadness as the children I saw shortly after returning.
