episode_0292

The unique abilities of the three major families are in a relationship of mutual creation and mutual inhibition.

The calamity melts the ocean. The ocean can seep into Mount Tai and promote life, and Mount Tai can become the firewood for the calamity.

It can thaw things so they don’t freeze completely, and melt them without a trace.

It can be a nutrient that sprouts life, or it can seep in and completely consume it.

It can be used as firewood, or it can be used to cover and put out the fire.

Depending on the degree, it can be either mutually beneficial or antagonistic. If it’s appropriate, it’s mutually beneficial, but if it’s excessive, it’s antagonistic.

Hwarururuk! Hong Yeonhwa raised her sword again. With the expanded ability of Gaehwa, which focuses the output of the fear into flames, the vitality of the entire area became firewood under the guidance of Taesan.

The fear that had eaten away at the sticky emotions there swelled beyond measure.

He swung his sword down. The devastating blow that followed the slaughter swept away the various commanders and golems and tore down the barrier.

The barrier, whose interior was already in disarray due to the interference of Mt. Taishan and Changhae, was no longer capable of withstanding anything.

“Write… ”

After finishing one attack, Hong Yeon-hwa’s breath ignited a spark.

Hong Yeon-hwa, who had been steadily developing her control over the fear, was having difficulty controlling the current fear. Her emotions were also burning as the fear burned like a flame, and her vision was dyed red.

But I wasn’t worried.

“Please control your strength. Aren’t you going too wild with the Tower of Growth?”

A sudden approach from behind. A cool palm touched my back. Chik! A cool chill seeped from the touching hands, cooling down my excessively burning fear.

“If this continues, even our forces will get involved.”

“I adjusted everything and wrote it.”

“Yes, I guess so.”

Baek A-rin shrugged her shoulders and swung her spear. The blade swept with cold air. The water that had been slamming down under the blade’s command turned into cold air and poured out in all directions.

– Tsk tsk tsk!

Not only the parts that the fire had not burned, but even the places where the fire’s embers remained were frozen solid. The embers were frozen in the air just as they had been dancing.

The inner barrier that had just been revealed was dyed pure white.

Crunch! The waist of the wall of cold air that had spread inside snapped. A pile of fragments of the wall poured down, and a mixture of pure white frost and smoky dust rose up.

Hong Yeon-hwa, who had been staring at the sight with a startled expression, glanced at Baek A-rin.

“Isn’t it the same for you to get involved in the allies?”

“There are no allies nearby, so no problem.”

Baek A-rin shrugged again. Frost spread across her pure white skin. Although she was speaking cheerfully, her body and mind were freezing as she poured out all the cold air.

‘… … ‘

Baek A-rin’s eyes softened as she confirmed the tragedy she had caused.

I feel anxious. I feel like I’ve been pushed down the priority list. I thought Hong Yeon-hwa would be hard to beat, but before I knew it, other people had already passed over me.

In the midst of all this, I feel increasingly uneasy because they specifically targeted Elia and took her away.

“That was the same for me too.”

Hong Yeon-hwa shook her head and placed her hand on Baek A-rin’s shoulder. Whoosh! The slightly blooming fire melted the cold air that filled Baek A-rin’s body.

“Whew… I guess I’ll survive.”

Baek A-rin, who had been accepting the fire for a moment, let out a deep sigh, her shoulders relaxing.

The fear and the sea must always adjust their output to avoid side effects, but if they can control each other’s side effects like this, the burden is greatly reduced.

Thanks to this, you can use high-power techniques in rapid succession as long as you have enough magic and stamina.

“This one is pretty pushed.”

While the two were resting, Lee Ji-yeon came walking behind them.

Behind her, tree roots sprouted from the ground, carrying the breath of the sea.

Each tree root, as big as a building, sprouted out, burrowing into the barrier and sprouting new roots inside. The roots, which had destroyed the spell and sucked it in, took over the barrier.

Also, the land under Lee Ji-yeon’s control is shaking the battlefield and opening the way for support to follow from behind.

“Sister, do you have enough magic power?”

“No, it consumes a lot. It’s not easy to destroy a defense and take control. It takes twice as much as just land.”

Lee Ji-yeon shook her head with a rather tired look.

Baek A-rin looked around while checking her physical condition.

The area was burned and frozen by the combined fire and sea attacks. Thanks to the walls collapsing like dominoes, a fairly wide space was created.

Behind, the tree roots that Lee Ji-yeon created are entangled in a barrier that has not been torn down.

But there is still a barrier a little way off. Also, if the entire land had not been frozen by the sea, the collapsed barrier would soon rise again.

Breaking down this barrier once is not the end.

If you try to enter after breaking down the walls, the exit will be blocked by a rising wall, and you will end up trapped in the wizard’s workshop.

Therefore, it is necessary to completely destroy the offensive and defensive techniques with strong output as if pulling out grass, and leave control in that place.

“What the… They said it was the Demon King’s Castle or something.”

The problem is that it is at a level that most people cannot even imagine, so it has been difficult to break even one barrier up until now.

Baek A-rin stared at the barrier beyond with a new expression.

It seems like only yesterday that I was watching Lee Ha-yool perform the magic he had just learned, and now he is operating a large-scale workshop like this.

The Changhae family has many monsters and dungeons, so they have many defensive facilities built throughout their territory.

This workshop seemed far superior to the family defense facilities that Baek A-rin had seen when she was young.

“Still, I think we’re all here now.”

Hong Yeon-hwa and Baek A-rin also stared straight ahead at Lee Ji-yeon’s words, who was taking a deep breath.

Above the dark wall that was now becoming tiresome to look at, the tip of the citadel came into view.

Hong Yeon-hwa, sitting on a rock, unconsciously made a tired expression.

“Isn’t that the workshop’s inner chamber? Then it must be much more difficult than here… ”

“Let’s knock from afar and see what happens first. If we go in first, we’ll see what kind of magic will come flying out.”

“A loaded advanced magic might come flying… I might not be able to completely block the advanced magic used by my junior.”

– Squeak

As they were taking a break and chatting, the bottom of the barrier opened like a door. The three of them immediately jumped up and took up a fighting stance.

– Squeak…

The door opened and a pure white head popped out. It was Lee Ha-yool, who was rolling his eyes and looking around.

“Ha.”

Hong Yeon-hwa’s lips twitched as she straightened her sword. The way she looked at him like a puppy that had made a mistake was so cute. I almost ran over to him and hugged him without realizing it.

“Wow, you already made it through all that?”

… Hong Yeon-hwa’s eyes turned cold as she saw Elia appearing right away. The corners of her lips that had been quivering also lowered.

Lee Ha-yool, who had been observing the situation, flinched. Hong Yeon-hwa, who had been staring at him, nodded.

“… First of all, I have a question, why did you take Elia?”

“That…tried to stop the recovery force.”

Lee Ha-yul took out the excuse he had prepared in advance.

“In this kind of large-scale war situation, a support-specialized superhuman is important. Even if there is almost no pain and you can revive, if you have recovery personnel, your battle endurance will change… ”

Although it is relatively less important because it is the Tower of Growth, in an actual battlefield, recovery personnel are more valuable than gold.

It is often said that there are many superhumans who can eat rice with a knife and cut down monsters, but there are few superhumans who can heal and assist others.

Even if you cut off the monster’s throat, the flesh of a superhuman whose stomach was torn off by the monster will grow back… If you have a special ability, it will also grow back.

“Besides, since you’ll be resurrected here, I held you back so you can’t go back. I thought everyone would unite and attack here anyway, so I did it in advance… ”

I was too embarrassed to admit that I had wandered around the castle like a puppy with separation anxiety, and then I couldn’t stand it anymore and brought Elia home and threw a tantrum.

“But why Elia? There are many other recovery personnel, right?”

Baek A-rin, who had been listening intently while maintaining her guard, nodded her head. Her eyes, colder than usual, stared intently into Lee Ha-yool’s.

“I can also heal my allies with the Sea of Creation’s Manual, right?”

[Uh… Baek A-rin is hard to subdue…]

“If you just tied the string roughly, it would have been caught quietly.”

[?]

“Junior, I can also recover a lot… ”

[… It’s hard to subdue even the senior…]

“Really? I wasn’t even on the list in the first place?”

“That’s right… ”

Lee Ha-yul was sweating profusely. The more he made excuses, the more he felt like he was sinking into a swamp. He knew that this was going in a bad direction, but he couldn’t think of a way to break through it.

Elia reached out and stroked her snow-white hair without thinking. It was because she felt so sorry for her son who was stamping his feet and looking embarrassed, and her motherly love aroused in her.

“… … ”

That didn’t look good to Hong Yeon-hwa, who was already feeling uneasy. Her eyebrows furrowed.

“Yeah, I understand.”

[Half color]

“So I’ll catch you too.”

“?”

Lee Ha-yool’s face, which had been bright red, became blank. His mind couldn’t understand what it meant.

“… Are you taking me away?”

“Ha-yul will eventually resurrect at the top, right? From our perspective of trying to capture the occupied territory, it would be difficult if Ha-yul resurrects and keeps rushing. So we’re going to capture him and tie him up.”

“ex.”

Hong Yeon-hwa muttered calmly. Baek A-rin and Lee Ji-yeon also nodded and each drew their weapons.

Frost formed on Baek A-rin’s window, and the rocks that rose from the ground were smelted into a double-edged axe.

“What’s really going on with the hostage?”

“I don’t know. Kill him because he’ll be resurrected.”

“Don’t talk too much.”

Lee Ha-yool’s face became gloomy.

It’s difficult.

Hong Yeon-hwa, Baek A-rin, Lee Ji-yeon.

All three of them have had many mock battles. Thanks to that, they have accumulated a lot of information and are able to respond skillfully.

That information is information that barely utilizes the unique abilities. Most of the sparring only used physical techniques, strong techniques, and magic.

It’s hard to deal with three people who can freely use their unique abilities without worrying about getting hurt. Those three abilities are all in the same category, so it’s very difficult to be together like that.

The 12th time was not for nothing that the Union died… especially to those three people.

The 12th episode was the one where all three of them survived and grew up.

Even if the player’s physical ability was low at the time, even if they took damage and ate up troops while fighting a battle of destruction with the Command Tower Lord.

The reason why the 12th time died without being able to properly fight back is because the joint attack of those three people was difficult.

Besides, for some reason, it seemed like Lee Ha-yul would have to fight to protect Elia as well…

‘Ugh… ‘

Before we get into that, Lee Ha-yul didn’t want to fight them here in the first place.

It’s hard to subdue. Since it’s a tower of growth that will be resurrected anyway, it’s easier to kill it than to subdue it.

… Even if it was painless and I could be resurrected, I didn’t want to do it. Just thinking about it made my stomach churn and my head feel like it was going to split open.

Lee Ha-yool, who had his eyes tightly shut, reached out his hand. As everyone was on guard against his sudden action, something flew in from afar and caught it in Lee Ha-yool’s hand.

A pure white flag. The number 1,000 is written on a large piece of cloth fluttering in the wind, and a thin line of light rises from the flag into the sky.

“Special flag?”

A special flag that was first given to Lee Ha-yul and kept in the castle. Lee Ha-yul, who was holding it, shook his arm greatly.

Ah, in the meantime, the flag that split the sky was stuck deep into the plain below the rocky mountain.

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

In the middle of a group of cadets who were trying to grasp the situation and begin a full-scale attack.

They blinked at the flags that had suddenly flown in from the sky and planted themselves. And soon, they checked the scores engraved on the cloth.

1,000 points.

If each occupied territory has three, multiply by 3 to get 3,000 points.

A score that will become the key to victory if you fail to capture the first zone.

Those who had taken stock of the situation through the silence glanced around, and most of them made eye contact at least once.

“… Catch that!”

The ground-crashing incident also happened at the same time. Those who were climbing the rocky mountain in a rather friendly manner pointed their spears and swords at each other.

“Ah… ”

Lee Ji-yeon let out a gasp as she saw the formation that was about to become a mess. Some of those who had been chasing her down the path that had been so carefully kept open turned their backs.

“Eight! I don’t know! First, catch them! Then, fight and eat the occupied map!”

Hong Yeon-hwa, who had turned her head, kicked the ground. Lee Ha-yool, who had a sad expression, closed the barrier.

[This match has ended]

[Score counting ends at this time]

“Ugh… Ugh… ”

The signal to end the game rang out in the pitch-black sky. At that, Baije’s legs, which had been kicking the ground like crazy, lost their strength.

A body rolling around. Fortunately, the sturdy superhuman body did not have any common wounds, and it was already covered in dirt, so there was no problem.

“Ouch, ahhh… My lungs hurt… ”

But my heart aches. Even though he is a superhuman, Baije, who is close to a research wizard and has relatively weak stamina, was breathing like crazy.

“Wow! This kid is really good at running away! How did he survive?”

“I don’t know either, get out of here… ”

A similarly beggar-like cadet grumbled as he looked at Baijie, who had fallen on the floor. Baijie barely managed to respond and glanced away.

A pure white pole was held in his hand. When he raised his gaze, he saw a pure white cloth spread out on the floor.

A special flag worth 1,000 points.

It was by chance that Baijie obtained the special flag. The cadets who were grumbling like crazy were blown away by one cadet’s suicide bomb, and the flag flying in the sky landed right in front of Baijie.

I grabbed it absentmindedly and was running away from the cadets rushing in from all directions, and the game was over in no time.

It was an unexpected stroke of luck for Baijie, who had been watching and learning from his seniors’ magic throughout his time on the platform.

“But didn’t you say you were going to do an event with this?”

“This is the starting point of the event… What, are monsters summoned here?”

The cadets who had gathered around blinked at each other. Then they stared at the flag for a moment, then calmly stepped back and put some distance between themselves and Baije.

Baije frowned.

“This is so disrespectful… I’ll give you a short break and start after announcing it─”

[We will start the next schedule, event match]

[Gimmick in operation]

“It starts right away.”

Kwaaang! A pure white light poured down from the night sky. Eyes from far away focused on the sight that looked like a meteor had struck.

Baije closed his eyes tightly. The light was so strong that he felt like he was going to go blind.

After a while, the light felt beyond my eyelids stopped.

‘uh?’

Baije blinked. He saw a person. A man looking down at himself lying down. He was wearing a helmet, so his face was not visible.

Rather, my senses were focused on other areas.

A wizard must have a good perception and sensing of magical powers. This is because, of course, in order to manipulate them, they must first be able to perceive them.

Baije couldn’t properly sense that person’s magic power.

It’s not hidden. It’s wide open, as if telling you to look.

But my head feels dizzy. It’s like looking at an optical illusion with my eyes, the magic is so crazy and twisted that just sensing it makes my stomach churn.

The man’s mouth, which had been tightly shut, opened.

“■ ■■, ■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■■(This kid was still as skinny as an anchovy at that time).”

The man who was examining the byzantine chuckled.
