Chapter Index

    It was a thought that came out of seething emotions rather than logical thinking, but it seemed like it might be possible.

    It may sound like a lot when you say Mine, but judging from the fact that she hasn’t come out of the shadows yet, she seems to have similar skills to Monica, who Do Yu-jin defeated before.

    ‘Well, since I don’t have any information about the enemy and I can’t gain an advantage in attributes, I’m at a disadvantage in many ways compared to before… … But I’ve also grown a bit by obtaining [One Who Stands at the Edge of Darkness (9★)], so I think I’ll be able to do it somehow.’

    Do Yu-jin thought about a list of useful items that could be purchased at the [store].

    Tsk-

    He clicked his tongue slightly.

    ‘But no matter how much I think about it, I feel like attacking those guys now would do more harm than good.’

    Do Yu-jin clearly remembered that there was a very unpleasant word mixed in with the words they had uttered a moment ago.

    ‘I clearly said you were the captain.’

    That meant that the guys were forming a small enough organization and were moving with some kind of purpose.

    ‘It’s Mine’s plan… I don’t know what it is, but it won’t be something cute like a surprise birthday party.’

    Do Yu-jin’s eyes turned back to the black cube.

    ‘If I deal with those guys here, I might be able to slightly ruin their plans. But it’ll be hard to completely uproot them. And if I fight with all my might now… … ‘

    Glance-

    ‘This guy is almost certainly going to die.’

    For Do Yu-jin, giving it her all meant hiding her true self and stabbing the enemy from behind.

    But if Do Yu-jin disappears now, what will those guys who have been suffering inside do to Rumi?

    It was obvious even without looking.

    Sigh-

    ‘I can’t let the heroine die… … I guess it would be best to just take the minimum measures here and then run away.’

    At the same time that Do Yu-jin put an end to her thoughts.

    Quagmirak-!

    The two mines burst out of the cube that had been imprisoning them.

    “Cough! Hey, you crazy kid! If you’re going to use magic, you should speak up and use it! I almost got caught in the explosion!”

    “You should avoid that on your own. I’m a wizard, right? What can I do when they’re pouring down from all sides like thorns! I came forward because you couldn’t block the attacks in the first place!”

    Since the mine has already been discovered, is it a judgment that there is nothing to be rough about?

    From their bodies emerging from the broken cube, black, ominous magic energy was pouring out like smoke.

    Seeing them like that, Do Yu-jin immediately took action.

    “Don’t rebel and stay quiet.”

    “What?”

    Do Yu-jin, who had ignored Rumi’s answer and finished giving her a one-sided notice, grabbed her by the back of the neck and pulled her towards him.

    At the same time, straighten your index finger and move it downwards.

    Pachin-!

    The five remaining faces of the cube turned into shards of broken glass and rained down on the two guys.

    “Ha! Is this it?”

    “Where!”

    The two, who seemed to be just bickering with each other, immediately used their own methods to block the attack.

    But Do Yu-jin didn’t feel regretful.

    Wheeze-

    Because the goal had already been achieved.

    Pushshu-

    “What is this?”

    “Smoke screen?”

    At the same time, the two men covered their noses and mouths while looking at the smoke coming out of the smoke grenade they had purchased from the [store].

    “Relax.”

    “Huh?”

    Do Yu-jin holding Rumi in her arms.

    Clang-!

    I threw my whole body into the space where the large window in the back used to be.

    A rope-free bungee jump from the top of a 30-story building.

    “Mi, you crazy bastard!!!”

    Rumi, who realized the situation in the wind blowing from below, screamed and grabbed Do Yu-jin.

    “Calm down.”

    Do Yu-jin also felt a chill run up his spine, but he desperately held onto his sanity and maintained his composure.

    Because there were still guys left that were much more concerning than the gradually approaching ground.

    “Tch, those guys are trying to run away!”

    “That won’t do!”

    Do Yu-jin snickered as she looked at the mines that were trying to chase after them.

    ‘I originally planned to use it to escape from that Lumi guy, but I ended up using it like this.’

    Talent and legendary traits that transcend the limits set by the world.

    However, Do Yu-jin’s body was too weak to handle all of that, and her magical power was too lacking.

    Because of this, it was impossible to fully demonstrate my power, but even so, the power I demonstrated through [The One Standing at the Edge of Darkness (9★)] was greater than that of [The Ghost in Shadow Cloth (5★)].

    However, Do Yu-jin used [Ghost in Shadow Clothes (5★)] more often than [The One Standing at the Edge of Darkness (9★)].

    It’s convenient that the camouflage coat is automatically created, but I think [Ghost in Shadow Clothes (5★)] is easier and better for detailed work.

    Simply put, a one-handed hammer is better than a sledgehammer when driving a nail into a wall, even if it’s not a construction site.

    So, to put it simply.

    Kugu Palace-

    Using [Ghost in Shadow Clothes (5★)] meant that it was not a big deal to secretly destroy the central pillar of a building, hold on to it, and then destroy it again at the desired timing.

    “… … While you were fighting me, were you doing something like that behind my back?”

    “Your hands were a little bored while I was playing with you because you were so weak.”

    “What, you little brat?”

    Rumi, who was dumbfounded at the sight of the building collapsing, opened her eyes again after hearing Do Yu-jin’s words.

    At that moment.

    “These kids are looking at us like water!”

    Even if it rots, it’s still a good tooth.

    Whoosh whoosh-!!!

    A short mine emerged from the collapsing building, swinging his staff and creating numerous balls of flame in the air.

    The fireballs that briefly lit up the surroundings like the sun soon began pouring down like hail, targeting the two people.

    ‘Why the fire?’

    Do Yu-jin gritted his teeth as he looked at the sphere of flames roaring and warming the space.

    ‘Even though it’s inferior in terms of compatibility, if it’s just a matter of intercepting and detonating… …!’

    Shhh-!

    Do Yu-jin swung her remaining hand and directly cut the sphere flying towards her with the shadow of her coat.

    Pubberbubung-!

    The explosion that occurred as the sphere split in half made my skin burn slightly and my body shake.

    It was the clearest signal that the attack had been intercepted, but that did not mean we could let our guard down.

    That would be the case.

    Pachin-!

    Unlike Do Yu-jin who had a bundle of luggage, there were two of them.

    “Khahahaha! Even though it’s a place where only the guys from the Black Guild live! I didn’t know they would destroy an entire building!”

    Another mine burst out of the smoke below, shouting as it moved through the collapsing rubble.

    “Cheer up!”

    When Rumi saw him, she escaped from Do Yu-jin’s arms and hurriedly swung the golden staff she was holding in her hand.

    but.

    Hee-juk-

    Instead of being scared, Mine laughed at her actions and swung his magic-enhanced sword.

    ‘It’s cut off!’

    The moment Rumi saw Mine like that, the image of her own neck being cut off came to her mind.

    ‘Oh, really!’

    Do Yu-jin quickly turned her body and switched positions with Rumi.

    “You?!”

    Rumi looked bewildered by Do Yu-jin’s sudden actions.

    But contrary to her thoughts, this was not some kind of self-sacrifice to save the heroine.

    He was confident that he could block at least one of Mine’s attacks without difficulty.

    And it was a rational decision, knowing from past experience that the heroines all boast abilities beyond human capabilities.

    “… … ”

    “… … !”

    Rumi, who was flustered for a moment, regained her composure when she saw Do Yu-jin’s determined gaze directed at her.

    Then, after gritting his teeth, he swung the golden staff with even greater force.

    “Fuck!”

    When Rumi attacked using Doyujin as a shield, Mine clicked her tongue slightly and changed the trajectory of her sword as if she had no choice.

    ‘Well, that’s fine. Judging from the fact that he didn’t even use his magic properly, it’s probably just a trivial attack. Let’s deal with this first, and then kill them both… ‘

    That mine’s judgment was reasonable.

    But unfortunately, there was one mistake.

    The reason the magical light surrounding Lumi’s weapon was dim was not because her magical control was immature.

    Crunch-!

    It was overwhelmingly more efficient to strengthen my body with the remaining magic power while keeping weapon strengthening to a minimum, so that’s what I did.

    “Crazy! What power!”

    “Follow me!”

    Mine, who was taken aback by the power that was far beyond his expectations, was unable to overcome Lumi’s power and was blown away, crashing into a nearby building.

    And the two people also flew away from the mine in the opposite direction of the impact, in the direction where there were no buildings.

    Actually, originally this wasn’t a bad route.

    Because Do Yu-jin had originally planned to escape by turning her coat into a hang glider.

    But now things have gotten messed up.

    “Hey, hey! Are you okay?!”

    “I told you to stay still and not come out… … ”

    Do Yu-jin said that and touched her own neck.

    A tingling sensation accompanied by black blood dripping from the tip of my finger.

    What this meant was simple.

    Magic seeped through the wound.

    ‘shit……’

    This is why the fight with Mine was so difficult.

    If you were to get even the slightest injury while fighting, magical energy would seep through the wound and interfere with the use of magical power.

    In severe cases, you may fall into a state of magic possession immediately after being attacked.

    But fortunately, what Do Yu-jin suffered just now wasn’t that serious.

    But is it because my physical abilities are so weak?

    Swaying-

    To Do Yu-jin, who was already exhausted from exerting too much strength, this single drop of magic energy was fatal.

    ‘I really need to somehow resolve this guy’s lack of ability… … ‘

    Do Yu-jin grumbled and chewed her tongue hard, trying to straighten out her increasingly blurry vision.

    In this state, it was difficult to even use [Store], which was the second insurance.

    ‘What should I do? Should I pray that it falls into the water like last time?’

    While Do Yu-jin was desperately racking her brain.

    ‘huh?’

    A strange feeling of irritation and bewilderment arose in his chest.

    At first, Do Yu-jin thought it was her own feelings, but it wasn’t.

    Do Yu-jin, who had been thinking for a moment, realized the source of the emotion and smiled without realizing it.

    “I got help again in a similar situation.”

    At the same time he muttered like that.

    [The summoned beast ‘Doyuna’, who has fully awakened, appears.]

    Foodduk-

    The sound of huge wings flapping affectionately spread out, as if reassuring him.

    “Huh? What is this… … ”

    Rumi was startled by the sudden sound and looked in the direction the sound came from, opening her mouth in shock.

    Because a crow with a body so large that it could easily cover two or three people with just one wing was flying in the sky while holding onto Do Yu-jin.

    While Rumi was so surprised that she was out of her mind, Do Yu-jin muttered in a small voice.

    “Thank you, Yuna.”

    In Do Yu-jin’s words filled with sincerity.

    Flutter-

    Yuna answered with a fluttering of her wings that was as fresh as her eyes.
