81.

Bae Eun-young hiding in the shadows.

There are two main elements needed to hunt that woman.

Nepenthes Powder, the power to subdue Kang Mi-young.

There is a need to prevent Kang Mi-young from causing trouble while under hypnosis.

To do that, we must first restrict our actions.

“First, I’ll tie you up, Major. I think it’ll be possible with nepenthes roots.”

Baek Min-ho, crouching in the corner, said.

Next to Kang Seo-jin, he was holding a rag like a log.

“How many minutes can you tie it up?”

Baek Min-ho rubbed his chin and answered.

“Not even a few minutes. In fact. You know, the root of Pinepentes absorbs a certain amount of mana from the bound target. The Major can take away a lot of mana, but… …not physical strength. ”

Physical strength.

After all, if she shows her true skills, she is a woman who can easily cut a 20cm iron plate.

And that too with just your fingers.

Dealing with a superhuman is that difficult.

“About 20 seconds. That’s it.”

Baek Min-ho, who had made up his mind, made a V shape with his hands.

‘uh?’

Just 20 seconds.

If it’s long, it’s long, and if it’s short, it’s short.

I wanted to ask if he was joking, but he reacted like a very serious Kim X-mo character, so I had no chance to say anything.

“By the way, I’m worried about the next one. If you want to cast a spell, you need to tie it up, right?”

Baek Min-ho followed up with an answer to my question.

“That’s right. You have to do both the chanting and the magic, but you’re defenseless. You need to provide cover. Or you’ll be the bait. ”

Baek Min-ho and I frowned at the same time.

Of course, elemental magic is also magic.

Casting high-level magic increases casting time accordingly.

There’s no way Baek Min-ho wouldn’t know that. He’s a veteran who’s been through a lot on the front lines.

It can act as bait.

But half of my limbs will be incapacitated. Then I will die without even being able to respond.

“Brother.”

At that moment, Kang Seo-jin, who was standing next to him, raised her hand.

“I’ll grab your attention.”

“What?”

“All I need is this rag. Just like a game. You only see what you want to see, right? If I only have this rag… … .”

“What are you talking about? You stay here.”

That’s crazy.

I was amazed by Kang Seo-jin’s idea.

There are two main types of death for non-awakened people:

The ability was gained from the side and the body collapsed due to unrefined mana.

Or maybe it just physically explodes.

That’s a very dangerous idea.

“But there’s no other way, right? If you want to beat the big sister now, someone has to step up, and it’s me, right? ”

“That’s it.”

It would be nice if it attracted attention. But then I wanted Kang Jin-young, who has a high possibility of running away and hiding.

“Ugh, hah, euuh.”

“I don’t want to be abandoned, I don’t want to be abandoned”

When you see someone sobbing in a corner, saying that they are no use at all… … you can tell right away that they are abnormal.

Jumping in that condition won’t be of much help.

He changed his clothes and headed towards Jinyeong Kang.

“It’s okay. It’s okay.”

“Ugh… … Hae-eung.”

“Don’t go. Don’t go… ”

As I approached, Kang Jin-young clung to my arms.

He took a deep breath, stroking her head like a cat.

This invisibility cloak doesn’t last long, so we need to get rid of it quickly.

Otherwise, a catastrophe could occur where both of them die.

“Brother.”

Kang Seo-jin was glaring at me with a look that said, “You bastard.”,” so I couldn’t stay there for long.

It was nice because it was kind of warm.

Anyway, I don’t have much transparent soil, so there’s no other way.

Charge straight ahead or die.

“Where did this bastard go?!”

Bae Eun-young sticking her head out of the shadows.

I stuck out my tongue when I saw it moving like a periscope.

They’ll probably give orders to wipe us out as soon as they find out.

‘That won’t work.’

Gave a signal to Baek Min-ho.

Root of Nepenthes.

It is a magic that even veteran hunters have a hard time getting out of once they are caught.

Kang Mi-young is currently in the same state as if she were sleeping. To put it simply, she is a sleepwalker possessed by a ghost. It is as if someone else is controlling her body. Her physique has changed, and her senses are different, so it will be difficult to control her.

Even if it’s hypnosis, you have to give up a certain amount of resources to control someone. For a hunter, it’s something that’s all there is to it.

[‘Auto-battle’ is coming soon.]

[‘Play’ lightly opens the eyes and relaxes the body.]

[‘Fully Competent Hunter’ reports that preparations for operation are complete.]

“Okay. Let’s do it.”

***

“Let’s go!”

As I ran forward, I sprayed Nepenthes Herb into the air.

As I emerged from the rags, my blurry body gradually became clearer.

The cover-up is now over.

I was going to be revealed in Bae Eun-young’s sight.

“Are you there! Hoohoohoo.”

Judging from the way you smile, I guess you don’t know what I’m talking about.

Rather, it’s good.

If the barrier is lifted now, Baek Min-ho will be able to use the roots of Nepenthes.

We made a detour around the rounded corner wall and gained some distance.

“Will you come out like that?”

Bae Eun-young threw the weapon fragments that were on the ground threateningly.

BAM────!

The wall caved in with a loud noise like a bomb exploding.

If I get hit even once, my body will explode. As I felt that sensation, my legs became even faster.

On the other side, Kang Seo-jin, carrying a rag on her shoulder, was seen being held by Baek Min-ho and moving.

‘Let’s get started.’

‘okay.’

He gave a signal by moving his mouth quietly. Baek Min-ho carefully put Kang Seo-jin down and prepared the spear.

High-level magic is difficult to use with human mana circuits.

Unless you are a wise man or a great magician, you need help from the magic circle.

“Help, it has to be helpful.”

While Kang Jin-young drew a magic circle on the floor using blood on her arm, Baek Min-ho squeezed out all the mana in the air to prepare the spell.

“Here!”

Kang Seo-jin started running to buy time. Kang Mi-young’s eyes were drawn to it.

‘It’s now.’

The Nepenthes powder was activated. A fine blue powder. It decorated the air and sparks flew out.

A phenomenon that occurs when a complex boundary formula is destroyed.

This is evidence that everything is going according to plan.

“Spring up roots!”

When Baek Min-ho swung his sword at Kang Mi-young, the ground began to sag and several roots rose up one after another. The roots of the nepenthes grabbed Kang Mi-young’s limbs and pulled her deep into the ground.

“Nepenthes! You damn bastards!”

Bae Eun-young spoke through Kang Mi-young’s mouth. I got goosebumps inside at the harsh swear words I heard for the first time.

Well, that doesn’t mean I’m delaying. I quickly increased my speed and ran towards Kang Mi-young. If not now, there would be no chance.

“!”

Only then did Kang Mi-young realize my approach.

The cool face quickly became distorted.

To be exact, it was Bae Eun-young hiding in the shadows.

It looks like it really got on my nerves.

“Will you come out like that?”

Kang Mi-young quickly returned to her indifferent expression. Even though she was tied up with nepenthes, her movement speed was not much different.

Kang Mi-young held the Star Sword and struck the ground. A crack appeared at the point of impact.

Soon I could see the shock wave flying towards me.

‘It’s now.’

I took it out and tore the hot, brand-new characteristic enhancement ticket. I felt the fragment manipulation being absorbed into my body.

Wow, how much would that be if you sold it?

‘No, no. Because living is a hundred times better than dying.’

First of all, a head-on breakthrough is the priority.

[A brilliant power is embedded in the characteristics.]

[These are the currently selectable enhancement characteristics.]

‘This time it’s regeneration. I’m not even a full-time employee yet.’

Well, there’s nothing I can do. Even if you’re a non-regular worker, promotion is a given.

[Super-Play (S)]

– Instantly regenerates a certain level of damage.

Super regeneration. It was a technique possessed by the light-hearted character of the original movie.

Was it soybean paste?

Anyway, that’s it.

‘Attack head on.’

I have to go in without worrying about water. I quickly ran forward. As the distance between me and Kang Mi-young narrowed, I could see her expression.

It felt like my internal organs were being twisted by the shock wave that was coming at me. I must have suffered deep internal injuries. It felt like my twisted arm was being torn off.

[He smiles, saying that ‘super-regeneration’ is a different feeling.]

Yeah, me too.

As soon as I got to Kang Mi-young’s nose, Bae Eun-young seemed to notice that something was wrong.

“Wait a minute.”

Bae Eun-young, who was standing behind Kang Mi-young, opened her eyes wide as she saw me running towards her.

I couldn’t help but laugh at that scene, which seemed like it was in slow motion.

I smashed the hypnosis tool in the guy’s hand with my hand and pushed him hard against the wall.

It is possible because the physical aspect is similar to that of an ordinary person.

Bae Eun-young, who was pushed out, rolled over several times and then fell to the floor.

“Die! Die!”

“How dare you, oppa!”

“This damn bastard!”

Opportunity Kang Seo-jin, Kang Jin-young, and Baek Min-ho. The three of them simultaneously clung to each other to deal with one another. Bae Eun-young rolled her eyes as if she was embarrassed and started to crawl on the floor as if trying to escape.

Kang Seo-jin used the pistol she had in her arms, Kang Jin-young used a military dagger, and Baek Min-ho used a rock element to beat Bae Eun-young indiscriminately.

“Eeee!”

At first, nothing happened as if the paper was torn because of the soft force field, but as the force field was crushed, bruises and various injuries appeared one after another.

“Sleep─”

Bam!

Kang Jin-young’s sharp dagger.

He stabbed deeply into Bae Eun-young’s neck. Red blood gushed out. The moment Bae Eun-young released her hand to stop the bleeding.

“Rock!”

The elemental magic prepared by Baek Min-ho crushed Bae Eun-young’s head with a rock. Red blood flowed out and then stopped moving.

I looked at the scene with a strange expression and then turned my head towards Kang Mi-young.

Kang Mi-young was lying on the floor, gasping for breath.

I quickly ran over to check the condition. His eyes were cloudy, and blood was flowing from his cracked mouth. His appearance was fine, except for a few bruises.

[You have completed the ‘Favorability Quest’.]

“Major!”

“······.”

The urgent fire was turned off.

Kang Mi-young’s suicide plan was prevented. ─ I don’t know if it was suicide because it wasn’t intentional.

“I couldn’t stop him. He, he was invading my mind.”

“I’m sorry, sir… I’m sorry. I, I attacked my comrades.”

Kang Mi-young hugged me tightly.

He was sobbing with reddened eyes and looked like he was going to cry at any moment.

I was on my knees, so it was almost like I was going to fall. But I still felt strong pressure on my chest. It felt like my ribs were broken.

Oh, that’s right. I was injured by the shock wave. My vision is blurry. I was bleeding all over my body. It’s hard to come to my senses because of the pain flowing from all over.

“It’s okay.”

First of all, it was important to save Kang Mi-young.
