episode_0237

Early morning.

Dozens of people wearing robes are standing on top of a tall protective wall.

Wizards dispatched from the Magic Tower with Han Joo-hee.

The reason they were standing on that high wall was to fire off a signal.

A signal signaling the start of the Kraken attack.

How do you tell?

“Group Magic, a thousand rays of lightning.”

Hundreds of bolts of lightning fall from a sky covered with dark clouds.

The landing point is above the sea.

The struck electric power flows through the seawater.

Let’s go!

Pap-duk!

An enormous amount of noise flows through the protective wall and reaches us.

I don’t know, but with that one shot, at least a third of the hundreds of Kraken Juniors that invaded the sea would have died or become incapable of fighting.

The surrounding hunters start to get upset.

“As expected, a wizard… “It may be unlucky, but its firepower is amazing.”

“Group magic… “Was there anything like that?”

Group Magic.

A combination machine that allows multiple wizards to draw a magic circle at the same time to create a single magic.

It is an extremely evil technique that can only be successful if all the magicians participating in the magic are the same, starting with the speed, shape, and size of drawing the magic circle, as well as the amount of magic power consumed.

The reason dozens of magicians were able to satisfy all these conditions was thanks to the capabilities of the person who commanded them.

S-class hunter and archmage Han Joo-hee.

Because she, and no one else, developed this collective magic.

“They said they would do it… , You really do it.”

She said almost 7-8 years ago.

They are trying to find a way for many people to work together to create magic that cannot be accomplished alone.

This is truly her own achievement achieved through heading from scratch.

I got to this point solely through my own research and trial and error, without any foundational knowledge.

Someone mutters in a dissatisfied voice.

“If wizards gather together and keep throwing things like that into the sea, isn’t there a need for us?”

“I know… .”

hmm.

I don’t want to say it like this, but it’s really stupid… .

“Don’t be stupid.”

… what.

I didn’t say it out loud.

It turns out that it wasn’t me, but a wizard waiting near him who said the words.

“How many times do you think you can fire magic with that much power?”

What he said is right.

That is a special move that can only be shown once.

The magic power of the magicians who climbed up the protective wall to use that magic was empty.

There is a difference in degree as the total amount must be adjusted, but it is truly insignificant.

To unleash that many times, you’d need at least hundreds of intermediate level or higher wizards.

“3 minutes until operation begins!”

“I hope you do your best in the position you were told in advance!”

“Good luck, everyone!”

The man who is the leader of the group gathered here shouts to boost their morale.

The wizards who were on top of the protective wall came down shakily.

and.

Kukukuku… !

The protective wall began to split in half with a harsh sound.

“Everyone prepare for battle!”

The operation is simpler than you think.

First, the population of Kraken Juniors, which had increased so far through the Magic Tower’s collective magic, is reduced, and then the protective wall is partially opened, and the waiting party hunts the rest that have risen to the ground.

If they come to the ground, won’t the damage around them increase?

Of course it is.

When the fight between hunters and monsters begins, all the buildings in the area will probably be destroyed.

However, this is an unavoidable damage.

You can’t fight at sea against marine life to save a few buildings, right?

“It will come soon.”

thud!

The opening width of the protective wall is approximately 40 to 50 meters.

One by one, giant squids rise out of the sea through the opening and land on land.

“eww… , It’s gross.”

“I can’t eat squid for a while.”

hmm.

I also agree with that statement.

Just looking at those tentacles wriggling makes me lose my appetite.

“Oh, here it comes!”

The Kraken Juniors who discovered the humans burst in with hostility.

They are not land creatures, but they run quickly across the ground with many legs.

Shoo shoo shoo shoo!

Swinging, stabbing, entangling, throwing.

Attacks of all kinds using tentacles rain down on the party entering the battle.

And to me too.

Huh!

“What?”

After lightly dodging the tentacles coiled towards my legs as if I was jumping rope, I prepare my magic.

Soon, the flame that started burning at the fingertips quickly expanded in size and ran across the ground.

「Flare.」

Small waves of flame cover its body.

Cheeek!

The water that was on the surface dried, and soon the body of the guy was burning.

Every time it struggles, the smell of grilled squid is everywhere.

The smell is definitely the same as squid… .

“Umm… “But still not.”

It’s not a Kraken, and you can’t eat the legs of something like Kraken Jr.

There is no time to watch squid being grilled over a fire.

He immediately pulled out the sword he was wearing at his waist and cut into the guy’s body.

Suddenly!

The body, divided up and down, falls to the floor, dripping black ink.

Even though it has been a long time since I used a sword, the feeling is still the same.

However, if there is something disappointing.

“The taste is amazing… .”

Not particularly good, not particularly bad.

No matter how good the association was, it would have been impossible to find a quality sword in one day.

“Hey, where is this?”

Until the day before yesterday, I had no intention of using a sword.

Then yesterday I changed my mind.

You never know what might happen in a crowded fight, so you have to use everything you can.

The guy, who had been jumping around even after his body was torn apart and fell, finally stopped moving.

At that moment, I immediately shifted my gaze to the battlefield.

“Chahaat!”

“I need some support here!”

“Is the magic still far away?!”

The situation is not very bad.

As the hands and feet of Class B, centered around Class A, gradually gain ground, it seems possible to assume the upper hand.

but… .

“healer! “Healer!”

“What if the tank avoids the tentacles?”

“Then you’re telling me to hit you and search you?!”

“Are you going to keep the shield and use it as a dining table, you idiot!?”

If there is light, there is darkness.

The party, whose hands and feet were not in sync at all, was on the verge of death.

They are my target.

「Aegis.」

A huge shield with a lifelike snake’s head on it that looks like it’s about to pop out at any moment blocks their path.

At the same time, a bunch of tentacles rained down on the shield.

Tutututututu!

If the shield creation had been delayed even a little, two of them would have been seriously injured.

Shields, who was hit by a tentacle, opens his eyes.

To be exact, it’s Medusa, the snake’s head stuck there.

Puhaaa!

The tremendous cold air coming out of the mouth freezes the squid.

The party, who barely escaped the crisis, bows its head hesitantly.

I said some harsh words towards them.

“If you don’t want to be left behind, come together. yes? Otherwise, I will stuff you all into one coffin and hold a funeral.”

The guys are moved by the sincere advice and nod their heads.

Well, too.

Because sincerity always works.

“Ego… , George some other guys… , No, let’s go rescue him… .”

This is really good, huh.

Do something good and relieve stress.

This is truly a situation where one kills two birds with one stone.

While going back and forth across the wide-open battlefield.

Shoo shoo shoo shoo!

Suddenly!

Crumbling!

I found a swordsman fighting 1:1 with Kraken Jr. in a dark place.

Looking at her slender body, she is clearly a woman… , His face is covered in a very shabby mask.

“hot… !”

After chopping off all of the legs with his brilliant swordsmanship, he plunges his sword into the body that has lost all means of movement and is struggling on the ground without hesitation.

Soon, I made eye contact with the guy holding the sword.

“… “What are you doing here, Senior Seoyeon?”

Did you call that a disguise, you idiot?

* * *

“Everyone worked hard.”

After escorting the wizards of the Magic Tower whose magic power was empty due to group magic and transporting them to the rear.

She flew straight into the sky and returned to the observation battalion, the operation headquarters.

The battle scene is displayed on a screen that fills one wall.

These were images taken by a drone moving in the sky.

“What is the situation?”

When she asked this, Seongtae Kim suddenly turned back and answered.

“It’s not bad. If we continue like this, we are expected to win without major damage.”

“is that so.”

As she looked at several screens, a person caught her eye.

‘Kim Do-jin… .’

The eyebrows are slightly frowned.

He wasn’t a person I really wanted to see.

However, he is a person who keeps more abilities and secrets than anyone else.

So, even if you don’t want to see it, you have no choice but to look at it periodically.

“… … .”

As soon as I saw him in action on screen, my first thought was, ‘Of course.’

It’s amazing to see him load magic faster than anyone else and pour it out on his opponent.

Once it caught my eye, my eyes kept coming.

Before she knew it, her eyes were following his movements.

And she witnessed a shocking sight.

“… knife?”

Kim Do-jin, who firmly believed that he was a wizard, drew his sword and cut the Kraken into two.

“also… .”

Again.

I thought there would be no more surprises when I saw him, but they happened again.

The only thing she has that is ignorant about swords is her eyes.

An eye for swordsmanship.

I didn’t get it because I wanted to get it.

I just acquired it naturally as I watched my husband’s growth, from dating to married life, a sword that no one can surpass.

In her opinion, that swordsmanship is… , it was extraordinary.

A lot of that too.

I can’t guess that he must have been swinging the sword diligently for several years, but at least I know that it is a level that cannot be reached unless he is serious about the sword.

That’s why I couldn’t understand it even more.

“how… .”

How can a young man of only 21 handle two things that are difficult to achieve even if he devotes his entire life so freely?

She thought.

At this rate, it seems like he was surprised that he had used up enough money for a month today.

So I thought there wouldn’t be any surprises anymore… , it wasn’t.

“… … ?”

Kim Do-jin, who was walking around, met a woman whose face was covered with a very shabby mask.

But Han Ju-hee seemed to know who that woman was.

No, I couldn’t have known.

Because she.

“… “Son Seo-yeon?”

Because she was my daughter.

As soon as this was confirmed, the surrounding temperature began to rise rapidly.

“No, suddenly there was some heat… .”

When Manager Kim Seong-tae flaps his collar due to the sudden heat.

「Fly.」

Han Joo-hee, who used floating magic to float her body in the air, soared straight into the sky.

Quang!

By shattering the intact ceiling.
