Fortunately, I fell on a soft bed and was not hurt.

However, he quickly escaped from the Guardian’s attack that followed.

Phew-!

Although I clearly avoided the Guardian’s attack, my body was shaken by the strong wind created by the fist.

I looked at the Guardian with a look of astonishment.

It was nothing special, just a simple punch.

Pfft!

He quickly moved his staggering body and dodged another attack.

But this time too, my body staggers and is blown to a corner by the strong wind created by the fist striking the air.

I bit my lip and straightened my posture.

The only good thing is that this guardian isn’t attacking Lily.

The Guardian was pulling his fist back, as if he was about to continue the attack.

The mind accelerates to the limit.

It’s not that I can’t keep up.

I was just a little flustered by the wind that was strong enough to knock me out of my pose.

As the mind accelerates, the body also accelerates to keep up.

I don’t care about the current remaining in my body.

Because what is lacking will be filled by Rain’s dark clouds.

beeline.

The moment I thought about it, my body had already arrived there.

A blue flash of light bursts out belatedly, and the sound begins to dissipate.

Kwarrrrung!

I shook my hands and looked back.

It’s not enough.

The opponent’s body was too hard.

It was clearly a direct hit, but the opponent did not fall.

The Guardian looked at me, staggering.

The posture collapsed.

It means now is the opportunity.

But the current remaining in the body was close to the ground.

I raised my hands, catching my breath.

The roof of this building was almost blown away by the Guardians’ raid just now.

bang!

The lightning that fell from the sky hit me straight in the face.

With the power that suddenly surges, your body begins to feel energized.

I took up my position again.

The Guardian also seemed to have recovered from the shock and raised his fist.

It wasn’t an unbeatable opponent.

It just takes time.

The moment I exhaled, my body accelerated once again.

The movement of everything around you slows down.

But the Guardian also begins to react.

As expected, this is no ordinary opponent.

The body shot in a straight line accelerates again at that moment.

pop!

The ground under your feet shatters, and the building collapses with a loud crash.

How to break the guardian’s stance while adding my speed.

He immediately swings his fist and hits the guardian in the chest.

bang!

With a strong impact, a tingling pain is transmitted to the wrist.

The feeling was weak.

The Guardian didn’t seem to be greatly shocked either, as his body didn’t lose any strength.

If so, change the strategy.

I moved my body immediately and wrapped my legs around the guardian’s neck.

The guardian who was instantly wrapped around seemed bewildered and did not make any movement.

Power release.

Start scattering all the electricity in your body.

The electricity that was being used to enter the origin state bursts out in all directions and begins to burn everything around it.

The Guardians could not escape its aftermath either.

The suit he was wearing began to heat up and soon began to emit black smoke.

It’s not enough.

It’s not enough yet.

I immediately raised my hand.

Towards the sky, towards the dark clouds that Rain had summoned, to recharge the electricity that was lacking.

Kwaaang!

Lightning strikes.

once.

Twice.

thrice.

The lightning strikes that fell consecutively are sent straight to the guardian’s body.

It acts as a kind of lightning rod, starting to burn his body from the inside.

Phagejik-

As the lightning that had been brightly illuminating the surroundings began to die down, the Guardian’s body began to tilt.

I immediately jumped off his body and landed on the ground.

dump-

The guardian fell to the floor.

He could no longer move, and only released black smoke.

If it had been normal, it would have turned into pitch-black ash that was unrecognizable, but I was amazed at how it still retained its human form.

“Hoo…”

Blue electricity crackled in the labored breath.

I looked around.

The sight of a mansion in shambles comes into view.

“Hueung… Hueung…”

And then a faint sound of crying is heard.

I ran there in a hurry.

Lily was sitting in the corner, her butt sticking out, sobbing.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

I was so focused on the fight that I didn’t have time to pay attention to Lily.

Judging from the way he was sobbing, he didn’t seem to be hurt.

“Lily.”

“Oh my… Jeff…?”

Lily, who had been burying her face in the corner, raised her face at my call.

Lily’s face was a mess.

Covered in tears, snot, and dirt, she was worthy of being called ugly.

“Your face is a mess.”

“Oh really?”

I smiled slightly and tore off a clean piece of cloth that was lying nearby and wiped her face with it.

When her pretty face was a mess, it broke my heart.

“The house is a mess…”

“Sorry…”

“I’m not blaming Jeff… If you think about it, it happened because his mother wouldn’t let him leave. So it’s his fault.”

I stroked Lily’s head.

Now that we had Lily identified, it was time to find Victor.

I was definitely getting up from my seat…

I looked at where Victor had been standing.

But Victor was nowhere to be found.

Instead, somewhere far away, blue lightning shot up into the sky, bang! bang!

It seemed like he was still fighting the guardian that had flown away earlier.

“Lily. Where’s Kelly?”

“Mother…? I don’t know either.”

I touched my forehead at Lily’s words.

The mansion was in such a state, and Kelly wasn’t even in sight.

I sighed and said to Lily.

“Lily. Do you know a safe place?”

“Oh. If it’s safe, there’s a big library nearby. It’s a really great place to prepare for any disaster.”

“Really? Then you want to go to that library?”

“… What about Jeff?”

“I have to go over there for a minute.”

“No! It’s dangerous!”

“I can’t help it.”

“You saw the Guardians earlier! They’ll keep rushing at Jeff.”

“That’s why. Did you see that earlier? The Guardian attacked me. Lily almost got in trouble. That’s why Lily shouldn’t be with me.”

Lily pursed her lips, seemingly shocked by my words.

And then, tears started streaming down my face.

I hurriedly wiped away Lily’s tears.

He said he was 50 years old, but he acted like a child.

“There’s no need for that.”

At that moment, I quickly turned around because of a voice I heard behind me.

As expected, Kelly was standing there.

And with an unidentified man.

“It’s a total mess…”

“Mom!!!”

As soon as Lily saw Kelly, she ran to hug her and burst into tears.

At the sight of Kelly patting Lily’s back as she cried, he opened his mouth in a daze, but then took a step back as he felt an intense gaze from the side.

“Did you do that?”

The man spoke to me, pointing to the body of the Guardian lying on the floor.

I nodded slowly.

The man checked my answer and smiled brightly.

It was a burdensome smile that showed all of the white teeth.

“Hey Kelly. Is it okay if I fight this guy?”

“Don’t talk nonsense, what if your brain gets messed up?”

“Just take it slow, right?”

“Do you think a kid that small could handle that?”

“But you beat my clone, so you’re qualified.”

Kelly stared blankly at the Guardian’s body lying on the floor at the man’s words.

But she immediately shook her head.

“No. Lily will be sad.”

“Ah… Okay…”

The man nodded with a sullen expression at Kelly’s words.

I looked at the man standing in front of me.

The giant appeared to be a little over two meters tall.

Muscles covering his entire body and a sharp impression.

Even the scars visible all over the body.

It felt like I was seeing a wild animal.

And the pressure was no joke.

It’s dangerous.

Instincts begin to sound the alarm.

It was strange that I realized it so late.

The hairs all over my body stand on end.

This man is a truly dangerous opponent.

I follow my instincts…

bang!

A strong wind blew along with a loud explosion sound.

My hair was fluttering, blurring my vision, and I couldn’t understand what was happening to me.

“Uh…”

“Did he try to run away?”

The moment I came to my senses, I was hanging on by a man’s neck, holding him by the back of his neck.

Shake your legs slowly.

As expected, it was right to hang up.

Got caught?

I?

When on earth?

I looked at the spot where the man had originally been standing.

The place was hollowed out, as if a shell had exploded.

therefore.

Are you saying that this man moved from his seat and grabbed me the moment I showed any sign of running away?

really?

Without me even realizing it?

Is this really possible?

“Let go, let go!”

I shook my body wildly.

But the man smiled faintly as if he had no intention of letting her go.

“You’re going to run away, right?”

“Of course!”

“If you want to play tag, let’s go to Heukyeonggung Palace later.”

“Black Arch…?”

I questioned the word ‘black palace’ that came out of the man’s mouth.

But the man didn’t seem to have any intention of answering, and just shook me slightly and approached Kelly.

“Kelly. Let’s move.”

“Don’t let that kid move, or he might lose an arm or a leg if you interfere.”

“Wasn’t it just a brain that was needed? An arm or a leg or something…”

“Lily will be sad.”

“Okay.”

I stopped moving at the eerie words passing between the two.

How can you move when you’re told that if you make a mistake, your arms or legs will be cut off?

That moment when I hold my breath and just blink my eyes blankly.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at a different place.

Lily, Kelly, and the man holding me back.

There was no change in the number of people present, only the location had changed.

It was clear that Kelly had used her powers.

“Yes.”

The unknown man lowered me to the floor.

I quickly checked my arms and legs.

But contrary to what they said, my arms and legs were all intact, without any cuts.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

“Jeff…!”

Lily, who was in Kelly’s arms, ran to me and hugged me.

I looked around while patting Lily’s back.

Smooth black stone floors, black pillars, and soaring ceilings.

Everything was black.
