Kwaaang-! Kwaaang-! It’s so scary!

– He’s scared… .

“…Shouldn’t that be stopped?”

“I think so too.”

Liliana said as if she was surprised, and Scarlett next to her also agreed with me.

At Isaac’s command, the entire tracking team fired magic into the forest, and Ellis was at the center of it all.

“Ha, ha….”

After firing off magic for a while, Ellis rubbed her forehead with a relieved expression.

He had a cool expression, as if he had avenged his parents.

“Was the young lady that strong…?”

“That’s right. I guess my condition is really good today.”

The other tracking teams also seemed surprised to see Ellis for the first time.

Actually, I was also surprised.

‘Was the massage that effective?’

For some reason, I didn’t think I was that angry, but it was a good thing I had an all-night massage.

‘Haam.’

Thanks to this, even though I’m really tired, I can handle that much.

“Are you late because you were giving Miss Ellis a massage yesterday?”

Scarlett, who was looking at me yawning and Alice alternately, spoke up.

“That’s actually true. I was trying to keep it a secret.”

“You don’t have to keep it a secret.”

“Well, it’s not nice to hear about other women.”

I’m grateful that other women like me, but there’s no need to talk about other women.

Even if you don’t outwardly say you don’t like it, it won’t be good.

When you meet, you should only say good things.

“… Wasn’t Hoyeon a bad man?”

“There is no one as kind as me.”

At least I think I’m nice.

Scarlett slightly raised the corners of her mouth at my words, shook her head, and then opened her mouth.

“Well, I guess I’ll have to go help first. Since you’re not giving me an order to stop.”

“Yes. Thank you for your hard work.”

– Scout went too, so let’s talk with me.

Scarlett left, and Liliana spoke to her.

“Okay, okay. I understand….”

“…Did my daughter take drugs?”

But then Isaac, who was standing next to me, seemed anxious and muttered something scary.

Am I having trouble adjusting to my daughter growing up so rapidly?

Your daughter is a natural. father.

Isaac’s expression was serious, so I slowly approached him and spoke to him.

“No way. I put some effort into the massage for today.”

“Massage… Oh, you were Ellis’ masseuse.”

“yes.”

For your information, Isaac, I, and Irene were waiting behind the tracking team shooting magic.

It wasn’t planned, but as I was walking to help Ellis, Isaac brought me behind him.

“That massage seems to be very effective. I heard that it can cure congenital magical power disorders.”

“I wasn’t sure either, but the effect was amazing today.”

“If I get the chance, could I ask you a favor?”

“… Well, once Ellis’ treatment is over.”

“massage….”

Irene whispered, looking at me like I was trash, but I ignored Irene’s muttering as I passed on Isaac’s words.

Kwaang- Paaang-

Meanwhile, the tracking team’s magic did not stop, and most of the lush trees burned down, leaving only the stumps.

It wasn’t completely a wasteland, but at this level, there was no need to fear an ambush or attack from the enemy.

“Guild leader. Are there any future operations?”

“Centaurs do not travel alone. Mines are basic, and sometimes even Pandemic executives participate in terrorism. The tracking team is also forming a team accordingly.”

“I guess so. Um, but wouldn’t it be okay to stop now? I think I’ll run out of strength before I even fight.”

At this level, I feel like I can just relieve my stress in the forest.

Especially Ellis.

No matter how exciting it is, you shouldn’t use all your magic there.

“You are the one in command as far as the hiding place.”

“ah.”

I see.

For some reason, everyone was quiet.

I turned on the communicator and spoke.

– We will enter slowly. Stop.

The tracking team responded to my command by consolidating their magic power, and when they saw that the arrangement was complete, they spoke again.

– I will go in first.

I’m the only one who can figure out the exact location, so I’ll take the lead.

I confidently stepped into the forest.

To be exact, it was a forest.

I could feel the magical smoke getting closer, and the tracking team slowly followed behind me.

– It’s getting closer. There will be a barrier, so don’t relax.

I continued to brief them on the situation.

It’s a hideout, so there’s bound to be a barrier.

There is probably a barrier that is invisible to the naked eye.

Most of the time, this type of barrier is difficult to detect even if you get close… .

Exciting-

A story that has nothing to do with me.

As long as I have a ‘combat sense’, I can immediately sense anything that could be a threat to me.

– stop. There is a thick barrier 50 meters in front.

As soon as I sensed the barrier, I unleashed my magic power.

“A barrier? I can’t feel it yet.”

“… No. Focus, Irene. It’s clearly ahead.”

Irene questioned my words, but Isaac seemed to have noticed right away and followed me with magic.

I don’t think anyone noticed except me and Isaac, but when Isaac, the guild leader, activated his magic, the other tracking teams began to follow suit one by one.

“I will calculate the barrier.”

“okay.”

I raised my magical power and opened the rune barrier.

Because the most annoying thing is a surprise attack during the inversion process.

“…Guild leader. Can you detect a barrier that is this hidden without concentrating?

“That’s right. I only realized it when I heard it. Should I ask for advice later?”

As I was collecting mana while listening to Irene and Isaac behind me, the barrier that had been set up in front suddenly began to collapse.

“… The inversion is already over?”

“Nonsense….”

I heard a gasping sound behind me, but I felt embarrassed rather than rewarded.

‘… what? ‘Is this a surprise attack?’

Why are you being counted against yourself?

Could it be that the enemies themselves opened it and came out?

When I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t say anything, I felt a very faint magical energy.

It was the same wavelength of the rune barrier as mine.

– Isn’t it Rebecca?!

‘Rebecca did it.’

Liliana also seemed to sense Rebecca’s magic.

They said they would provide assistance behind the scenes, but I think this is probably that assistance.

Now that I knew it was safe, I naturally turned around and said,

“The reverse calculation is complete. Let’s enter.”

– It’s mean.

*

“…You want to capture me alive?”

“Overpowering a centaur is twice as difficult as killing it.”

I secretly told Isaac and Irene that I would capture the centaur, but their reaction was quite harsh.

“It’s just hope. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll have to kill him.”

“Even if you were there, it would be difficult.”

“He might come.”

“That person…? Oh, you mean the red-haired lady?”

“…Guild leader. Who is that lady again?”

“Then it might be worth a try. If you capture him alive, you’ll be able to get a lot of information.”

“Guild leader? Are you going to tell your mother?”

Rebecca and I had already agreed to join the battle when I gave the signal.

Since Isaac and I are the only people who know each other, we may need to convince the rest of the tracking team, but we can think about that later.

If Isaac, the guild leader, says it’s okay, then it’s okay for the Iris guild.

First of all, you don’t have to catch the centaur.

I can undo the Centaur’s brainwashing, but Rebecca’s own fighting power is also strong.

Probably similar to Isaac or better during the day.

If such a strong person is added to the force, subduing it is not a dream.

By the way, I’m sure this person isn’t looking over Rebecca.

If it looks like it’s sincere, I’ll cut it off right away.

– You can’t catch a centaur, right?

“You can catch it.”

– I only trust you?! Yes?

“don’t worry.”

If it doesn’t work, you have to make it happen.

I held the necklace tightly as if to comfort Liliana.

“Hey, Lee Ho-yeon? Why were you talking to yourself earlier….”

Irene spoke to me in a worried tone.

I tried to answer jokingly, asking if he was worried, but at the same time, I felt my heart pounding.

Jump and jump.

Thump thump-

We stopped our conversation when we saw numerous signs of popularity coming from the front.

The executives of the approaching pandemic, bringing with them countless demons.

Even a huge centaur walking leisurely in the center.

… Is this an all-out war without any surprises or tricks?

It’s scary.

Isaac looked at the approaching demons and spoke into the communicator.

– Everyone prepare for battle. It’s me and team leader 1 who are dealing with the centaurs. and… Lee Ho-yeon is a wizard. The rest will deal with the demons under the command of Team 2 Leader.

“… Huh? It’s Lee Ho-yeon, not Team 2 leader?”

“Yes. Lee Ho-yeon is stronger than Team 2 Leader. Lee Ho-yeon. Are you okay?”

Irene looked at me as if she was surprised, but she actually expected it.

When bombing the forest, Irene and Isaac were stockpiling magic power, and Isaac blocked me from trying to help Ellis.

What reason could there be to conserve magical power other than boss battles?

“I was expecting it.”

“Okay. Get ready.”

*

The battle was surprisingly divided as we had hoped.

Isaac, Irene, and I looking at the centaur in the center.

– Oh my gosh!

-Kill him! We deal with the weak!

Mine and the executives rushed towards the rest of the tracking team as if avoiding us.

They probably also hoped that the centaurs would catch the strong man.

Anyway, what is important is our victory.

‘I don’t think this is the time to insist on capture.’

Kwaaaang- pud-duk-

The number of demons was quite large, and the sounds of an intense battle could be heard from the side.

Since there were also executives involved, we need to deal with the centaurs as quickly as possible.

Moreover, there are Ellis and Scarlett among the tracking team.

‘Try it once or twice and if it doesn’t work, give up right away.’

Taang-

The rune barrier was spread out into a wide sphere.

The rapidly expanding barrier soon reached Rebecca’s barrier, where she was hiding, and I inserted the promised wavelength into Rebecca’s barrier.

“Lee Ho-yeon. Is he coming?”

“Yes. I’ll be right back.”

“So who is he?”

“I’ll also introduce you to Irene. She’s an acquaintance of mine.”

“…Uh, uh, yes.”

Why is this person so surprised when I talk to him?

[Is it a succubus?]

At that time, the centaur in front spoke to me.

I still can’t get used to hearing people talk to me in such a gentle tone while their bodies are showing signs of life.

Is it because I was brainwashed?

“From last time, what on earth is a succubus? I’ve never once said something like that….”

“Perhaps a new goal has been created. Or there may be another meaning that we don’t know about.”

“… If you torture something, it will blow up.”

– No, where are the people who don’t know the succubus? Nonsense!

I was worried that Isaac and Irene might be suspicious of me, but fortunately the conversation didn’t last long.

Percussion-

“Um, hello?”

“You’re here, Rebecca.”

This is because Rebecca, who had been hiding nearby, appeared.

She naturally appeared next to us as she lifted the rune barrier.

“Heeik? What, who is it!”

“Lady. You still have a fun personality. Irene. This is the reinforcement.”

“…Reinforcements?”

“Thank you for the compliment. Then, hehe. Hoyeon. Can we meet him right away?”

“Yes. First, we will try to capture him alive, and if that doesn’t work, we will kill him.”

Even now, I can hear the sounds of hard fighting around me, so I can’t waste time.

[Why are you there… Humans cannot understand.]

As soon as I heard the centaur’s words, my heart sank.

Come to think of it, Rebecca has also met a centaur.

This isn’t a bomb with Liliana and Rebecca.

“What else can I say….”

“Guild leader. There is no time. We must quickly subdue the centaur and help the others.”

“… Yes, that’s right. It could be a trick to waste time.”

Puzzle-!

It would be better to just not give them a chance to talk.

I immediately started constructing the magic circle I had prepared.
