“… … ”

Han Si-yeon looked at the text message that appeared on David’s screen with eyes filled with a strange emotion.

In fact, it was this information that helped me the most in the fight with Mine a little while ago.

Surprisingly, it was full of things that could be called tips or strategies for the game.

‘Well, I could have won without this, but I wouldn’t have been able to win this cleanly and with so much energy left.’

There was such a big difference between knowing your enemy’s weaknesses and not knowing them.

Hmm-

“You were really arrogant, both for kicking my face at first and for meddling in my fight like this. ”

Clap clap-!

Han Si-yeon lightly slapped her cheeks with both hands and opened her eyes wide.

‘Let’s think about what the hell this guy is and how he knows these things later.’

Anyway, that was information that could have been found out naturally after catching the guys running around here and there and defeating them in sparring and shaking them out.

What if he uses this commotion as an excuse to not come to me, saying things have gone wrong?

That didn’t matter either.

‘Judging from the fact that he sent this text, it’s clear that he’s in this mess too.’

In other words, all you had to do was go yourself and find the guy who wasn’t coming.

Kwakwakwakwang–!!!

“Well, before that, I need to sort out this mess.”

Han Si-yeon kicked the ground in the direction where the sound was coming from.

A thought crossed her mind.

‘But is that guy Han Si-woo okay?’

When the enemy was a villain, I wasn’t worried at all, but when they turned into mines and held powers several times stronger, I couldn’t help but worry.

‘If by any chance that fool had met a particularly strong villain among them… … ‘

Han Si-yeon, who had been lost in thought for a moment with her face frozen, shook her head to shake off her worries.

‘I’m not the main character from some shonen manga, so I wouldn’t get caught up in something like that easily.’

◎ ◎ ◎

“Cough!”

A suppressed scream burst out of Han Si-woo’s mouth along with drops of blood.

I felt like I would collapse from the intense shock, but I didn’t have time to do so.

If I stopped moving my body even a little bit, my neck would be cut off.

Ssuk-!

Han Si-woo, who dodged the flying sword once again, straightened his posture.

“That’s amazing.”

Looking at Han Si-woo like that, the old man spoke softly.

“Hey kid, how old are you now?”

“… … 20 years old.”

“Really? You’re younger than I thought. I haven’t even lived half my life yet, and yet I’m like this… … ”

If possible, I didn’t want to have a conversation with the villain.

But now there was no choice.

Because I had to somehow buy some time to catch my breath.

“I came here because I heard there was a guy who uses both sword and lightning just like me, but it looks like I made the right choice.”

First of all-

The man who had been stroking his beard smirked as he lowered his sword.

It was a hideous smile that clearly revealed low-level jealousy.

“I am truly glad that I can kill a genius like you here.”

Paang-

A middle-aged man kicked the ground and swung his sword.

Han Si-woo read his movements and reacted precariously.

Chae-Ang-!

Block the man’s attack while twisting the wrist holding the sword.

A swift sword that reduces the gap between attack and defense to a fraction of a second.

The old man looked at it with a sneer as it extended out, then swung his sword.

Phage crackle-!

Two currents surge fiercely.

Inside, a sword wrapped in blue energy clashed with a black-tinted sword as if they were going to devour each other.

Kwaaang-!

Han Si-woo desperately continued his thoughts, forcibly holding on to his body that seemed like it would bounce away from the shock.

‘Fortunately, I’m one level ahead of you in terms of swordsmanship.’

And that gap was growing wider.

Although Han Si-woo is usually pushed back by Han Si-yeon because he doesn’t have much interest in fighting, he is also a true genius recognized by the system.

Such is his talent.

Chae-Ang-!

The life-threatening crisis began to burn fiercely, using it as firewood.

“Anyway… … I get so annoyed when I see those genius guys.”

But the upper hand in the fight still lay with the middle-aged men.

Kaaang-!

That would be the case, since the difference in physical specs before swordsmanship was so great.

Even such differences were becoming more and more severe over time.

‘What the hell is this guy?!’

There was a difference in strength to begin with, but it wasn’t to this extent.

However, once the magic energy started flowing out of the man’s body, he had to use all of his body’s strength every time he tried to block the sword.

Phage crackle-!

“Ugh!”

“Oh, and this time it doesn’t even bounce off? Genius is easy, you can improve while fighting. I, a mere mortal, can’t understand it. Yeah! It was like that back then too!”

The man could not control his overflowing emotions and shouted loudly like an actor in a play.

Wooow-

And as if responding to his actions, the amount of magical energy flowing out of the man became more and more intense.

“My efforts! My life! My sacrifice! That damn kid just trampled on me for being a genius! He ruined my life!!!”

Bam!

“When I see that, I feel like my whole life is being denied.”

The man who had been shouting for the space to leave spoke again in a quiet voice.

But the madness had stopped flowing outwardly; it continued to swell within him.

“That’s why I hate geniuses. Just seeing them makes me want to kill them and trample on their buds.”

First of all-

“And that’s why you die.”

“This piece of trash… … ”

“I won’t deny it. I also thought that I was getting more and more crazy after that day. But it doesn’t matter.”

Shhh-

“Thanks to you, I feel so refreshed.”

After speaking, the man swung his sword again.

The moment before Han Si-woo, who was unable to react, had his chest cut off.

“Kwakwakwang.”

A huge golden bolt of lightning struck between the two from the sky.

“Ugh! What the heck! ”

“This lightning… … !”

The two men withdrew from their attack due to a sudden lightning strike.

The fight suddenly stopped.

Percussion-

A new figure boasting small footsteps fell into it.

“I came here because I felt a familiar vibe… …It was you, old man?”

“You, you!!!”

“What about him?”

The old man who saw him expressed extreme anger, and Han Si-woo asked in embarrassment.

“What? Do you know that guy?”

“Huh? I saw you briefly a few times at the family home before.”

Erio said in a weak voice.

Although he already knew that Do Yu-jin would not be there, Erio still hoped that he could find some clues here.

‘But if the identity of the strange noise was that old man, it would be impossible to find a clue.’

When Erio was quietly disappointed.

“Hahahaha!!! You! I met you! The guy who ruined my life! The guy I have to kill! You fucking genius!”

The man who saw Erio laughed like a madman.

At the same time, the color of the magic the man was spitting out gradually became darker.

My emotions exploded and I was completely consumed by magic.

‘You get stronger here!’

Han Si-woo clenched his teeth and shouted.

“Hey! Give me some strength to catch that guy!”

“Huh? I don’t like it.”

“What?”

Han Si-woo opened his eyes wide at the unexpected rejection.

“No, why?!”

“No, I can’t, I have something to do.”

Right now, Erio’s mind was filled with the thought of having to save Doyujin, who was crying after being caught up in this accident, so his answer was as firm as a knife.

“Whew, okay. Then go quickly.”

Since it was impossible to force a fight on someone who said no, Han Si-woo gave up on persuading them and said.

“You won’t run away?”

“I won’t go. If I just leave this guy alone, my friends who are on the street right now might get hurt!”

Stop!

At Han Si-woo’s words, Erio stopped walking without realizing it.

Find and eliminate the source of danger.

Han Si-woo’s words came as a fresh shock to Erio, who had been thinking only about finding Do Yu-jin.

At that moment.

“Kaaaah!!!”

The old man, now completely consumed by magic, emitted strong electric currents from his entire body.

Even while looking at him, Erio continued his thoughts and didn’t show any particular reaction.

Because lightning couldn’t be a threat to Erio.

but.

Kwakwakwakwang-!

Debris flying up from the broken pieces due to the current was a separate story.

In fact, if it had been the original Erio, he would have avoided these debris without any trouble.

However, the lightning that filled the space confused Erio’s senses, and she ended up allowing the debris of the building to hit her.

“Ah… … ”

Erio looked down with a soft sigh.

I saw that the camera that I had been holding around my neck with great care had been hit terribly.

As Erio looked down at the floor with blank eyes, countless pictures he had taken while walking around with Do Yu-jin today came to mind.

“… … You said let’s fight together?”

Erio, who was picking up the remains of the camera one by one, spoke softly but powerfully.

“Huh? Oh, that’s right.”

“Okay, I’ll help you.”

As Erio spoke, golden lightning shot out fiercely from his entire body.

“Oh, sorry for spoiling the mood. Shouldn’t we fight with the goal of enduring, not winning? We can’t beat that guy with our own strength, right?”

“No, you can win.”

Erio said so and lightly extended his hand.

Pah-ji-ji-ji-ji-jik-!!!

Then, golden lightning formed a long spear above her hand, tangled like a tree trunk.

“My lightning is stronger than that lightning.”

Erio declared this and showed for the first time the strength he had gained from meeting Doyujin and getting some rest.

While Erio was facing off against the strongest force among the invaders.

“Whew, the 7th one!”

Han Si-yeon roamed the mountains like a tiger, cutting down mines here and there.

With the help of Erio, Han Si-yeon, and Do Yu-jin, the two people who gained bigger wings than before flapped those wings in this crisis situation.
