Chapter 63.2
by AfuhfuihgsChapter 63 (Continued)
Their weapons didn’t collide.
Only the dense magic of the Tier 6 fighters clashed in the air.
The Iron Dragon Staff shattered Chae-won’s mechanical armor and struck her torso.
The mechanical spear pierced Woo-jin’s side.
The wind magic compressed within the spear was about to explode. It would inflict a fatal wound on Woo-jin in an instant.
There was no time to think.
Woo-jin instinctively infused magic into his side.
Boom!!!
The shockwave erupted.
The two were hurled in opposite directions. Woo-jin crashed into a building’s exterior wall, while Chae-won tumbled across the road.
“Ugh…!”
Chae-won coughed up blood.
Severe pain radiated from her abdomen.
She realized she had been electrocuted too.
Her body wouldn’t move as she willed it to.
Without her mechanical armor, she would have been in a far worse state… Just imagining it was terrifying.
“What’s with this guy…?”
A twisted smile appeared on her blood-stained lips. Chae-won looked toward Woo-jin.
“Grr…”
Woo-jin groaned, clutching his pierced side. He had absorbed the full impact from colliding with the building wall.
The moment he was speared, he had poured all his magic into reinforcing his side.
Thanks to his honed combat instincts.
Without that, he would have been on his way to the afterlife.
‘As expected, he won’t die from this.’
Chae-won had assumed Woo-jin wouldn’t die.
That’s why she launched an attack that could easily kill a person.
“Ha, it hurts…”
It had been so long since she felt such pain.
Chae-won chuckled.
She got up, holding her abdomen where Woo-jin had struck her, and staggered.
‘If I can just take him now…’
Chae-won continued to disrupt the electromagnetic waves.
Not only was it impossible to call for help in this area,
but it also delayed the Disciplinary Committee and the police academy from understanding the situation.
Chae-won moved towards Woo-jin to take him.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, Chae-won felt a sense of unease and stopped.
At that moment—
Whoosh!!
From a distance, arrows wrapped in magic poured down.
Boom!!
Each arrow precisely struck Chae-won’s robots, exploding them.
“What…?”
The tall buildings obstructed her view, causing a delayed reaction. Chae-won was caught off guard.
A unique ability, Laplace’s Demon.
Magic Technique Type 1, Precision Equation.
The ability of Yoo Do-ha, the accountant of Ahsung High School’s Disciplinary Committee.
Every arrow boasted outstanding accuracy, calculated by the shooter.
“L-Leader…!”
Suddenly, a bespectacled male student in a checkered shirt appeared. He looked like an otaku.
He rushed to Woo-jin and began pouring healing magic into him.
It was Park Min-hyuk, the scribe of Ahsung High School’s Disciplinary Committee.
“Thank you…”
“Don’t mention it! Your wound will reopen…!”
Ratatatata!!
Several Disciplinary Committee vehicles arrived, firing magic bullets at Chae-won.
Chae-won ignited the flames under her board and evaded into the air.
The Disciplinary Committee vehicles halted, and the members of the 2nd Platoon, who were on duty at Ahsung High School, disembarked. They readied their weapons and assumed combat stances.
‘How did the Ahsung High School Disciplinary Committee arrive so quickly…?’
Chae-won was momentarily confused.
There was no way the Disciplinary Committee could have arrived this fast.
Crash!!
The Disciplinary Committee’s long-range attacks continued. Arrows that had destroyed the robots poured down again from afar.
Physically adept Disciplinary Committee members jumped up from buildings, aiming for Chae-won. The combat weapons loaded on the vehicles also targeted Chae-won and launched attacks.
Chae-won smirked as she dodged or blocked the Disciplinary Committee’s attacks with a shield.
‘How bothersome.’
Each attack was precisely aimed at Chae-won. She clicked her tongue. There was no chance to approach Woo-jin.
Intense pain radiated continuously from her abdomen. It was the area hit by Woo-jin’s Iron Dragon Staff. Because of this, it was difficult to respond swiftly to the Disciplinary Committee’s barrage.
‘…So that’s it.’
Chae-won realized something belatedly.
Even if she didn’t know Woo-jin’s exact unique ability, it was clear it was related to teleportation.
In other words, the moment Woo-jin entered the men’s bathroom,
he could have teleported outside the mall, called the Disciplinary Committee from a place without interference, and then returned.
Thinking that way, it made sense.
‘It’s certain… He knew my ability from the start.’
If he hadn’t known her ability from the beginning, it would have been unnatural to respond so quickly.
‘I knew he had good information… but I didn’t expect this level.’
Chae-won found Woo-jin interesting.
However, there was a subtle anger mixed with that interest.
‘How dare he.’
A vein popped on Chae-won’s forehead.
Initially, she didn’t have any particular thoughts about Woo-jin.
But now, she had a strong urge to crush him thoroughly.
“Hah!”
Meanwhile, a female student jumped out nimbly from a Disciplinary Committee vehicle. She stood in front of Woo-jin and Min-hyuk.
“At this critical moment, the wild Ha Yesong appears!”
It was Ha Yesong, an officer of the Disciplinary Committee.
Yesong looked back at Woo-jin, pointing her thumb at herself.
“Leader! Leave it to me from now on!”
Yesong shouted confidently.
Woo-jin and Min-hyuk half-closed their eyes.
“Oh, not reassuring at all…”
“Yeah. Shut up, Park Min-hyuk.”
Woo-jin chuckled at Min-hyuk and Yesong’s conversation.
Pat, pat.
Woo-jin lightly patted Min-hyuk’s shoulder.
“Leader?”
The emergency treatment was finished smoothly. Now, he wouldn’t die from excessive bleeding.
He still had the stamina to fight.
“Thanks to you, I survived.”
Woo-jin grasped the Iron Dragon Staff again and moved. He made eye contact with Chae-won and channeled electric magic once more.
“This won’t do…”
Even Chae-won couldn’t defeat the current enemies. The power gap was significant.
Chae-won reflected on her mistake.
She had been arrogant in front of Woo-jin.
‘…I admit it.’
Chae-won internally acknowledged Woo-jin.
‘You’re strong. Much stronger than I thought.’
Admitting Woo-jin’s strength, Chae-won raised her right arm, encased in mechanical armor, upward.
Rumble!!
Suddenly, something hidden beyond the clouds started plummeting at high speed.
“……!”
Woo-jin’s eyes widened.
“Deploy defensive formation!! Everyone else, retreat!!”
Without any questions, the Disciplinary Committee followed Woo-jin’s orders.
Some members of the Disciplinary Committee took out large shields and wrapped them in magic. The rest moved away. It was a practiced maneuver.
Woo-jin urgently grabbed Yesong and Min-hyuk and fled.
“Ah! Leader!!”
Yesong screamed in the face of the impending pressure from the sky.
In the meantime, Woo-jin glanced back and made eye contact with Chae-won.
Until next time. Chae-won’s mouth formed the words.
Soon, a flying object descended from the sky like a meteor, engulfed in flames, and hit the ground.
Boom!!!
An immense explosion erupted, covering the area with a thunderous roar.
The ground was torn apart, and the powerful pressure and shock demolished the exterior walls of nearby buildings.
“Ahhh!!”
Yesong screamed at the top of her lungs as her body was thrown. Woo-jin shielded Min-hyuk and Yesong, rolling on the ground.
Eventually, the situation settled.
“Are you alright!?”
“Y-Yes…!”
Woo-jin checked on Yesong and Min-hyuk’s condition and then turned his gaze to where Chae-won had been.
As the dust settled,
Chae-won had already vanished without a trace.
