by fnovelpiaAt the very moment when Dangmo, who had lost all her horns due to being completely exposed to her family mate’s patriotic bombing, was being reborn as a bomb horse.
Those who rode on Helena’s temporarily constructed teleportation magic circle succeeded in landing safely at the target coordinates.
And what attacked Su-hyeon, who succeeded in jumping hundreds of kilometers and landing inside the teleport terminal located in the center of Hanoi, was…
‘What, you said something about teleportation sickness, but you gave me all the fear you could, but there was nothing…?!’
It was a feeling of dizziness that made me faint.
Roughly speaking, what it felt like… I should say that it was a feeling of dizziness, as if the unique dizzying sensation that comes when you suddenly raise your head after lowering your head with something heavy on your head has been intensified by a thousand times. .
‘Wow, sir…’
I feel like I’m going to throw up…
This is why I said that you won’t be able to move for a few seconds after teleporting.
Even though I was suffering from dizziness like that, what was slightly surprising was that, apart from the dizziness, I didn’t really feel like I was going to throw up.
I guess I’ll just end up feeling dizzy.
Anyway, so… where is this place?
Feeling that the dizziness that had been occupying my mind was slowly disappearing, I slowly opened my eyes, and what caught my eye was a rather low-bright scene.
If you look at the things that look like luggage boxes here and there…
“···Warehouse?”
“It is one of the material warehouses within the terminal. It is mainly used to store materials used for terminal repairs.”
“It seems too empty for something like that?”
“Of course it has to be that way.”
Of course it has to be that way.
What does that mean again?
“The materials that were originally piled up here are probably being used to cause the magic circle to explode by now.”
“Ah…”
That’s right.
“Anyway… We’ve safely arrived at our destination, so now we have to move… How are you all? ”
Helena, speaking like that, seemed to be in the worst condition among us.
His complexion was pale and beads of sweat were forming around his temples, giving off the feeling that his legs would give out at any moment and he would collapse.
Isn’t it possible to get angry at a person who looks like that and ask if he or she is okay?
“I still feel slightly dizzy… but I don’t think it’s to the point where I can’t move.”
“Me too…”
me?
I had already completed my recovery.
What was truly amazing was that, as Helena said, after about 5 seconds, the dizziness disappeared as if I had never felt dizzy before.
In the case of Hayoung and Cheongpung, it seems like there is still a bit of a dizzy feeling left, but seeing as I am the only one who doesn’t feel anything… I wonder if this is also an effect of the app I have.
Anyway, whatever the reason, since both of us had not completely recovered from our dizziness yet, it suddenly became my responsibility to answer Helena’s words.
“In that case… we can start right away.”
“Is it okay to just go out and kill everyone you see, assuming they are enemies?”
“That’s not bad, but… I don’t have much time for that.”
“That means there is a goal to aim for first.”
“Yes, it would be much more efficient that way.”
“So, what should I aim for?”
“Control Room.”
It’s a control room…
“Is this like a control room?”
“It’s similar. No, it would be quicker to explain it if I just said it was the control room.”
“What exactly should I do there?”
“Probably… you will understand right away when you enter the control room, and if you look inside, there will be something like a big jewel.”
“It’s a gem… Can you think of it as an item similar to the magic stone that was used to build the magic circle earlier?”
Helena shook her head in response to my question.
And then…
“The first goal is to separate it from its storage device.”
“What happens if I separate it?”
Will the entire terminal be shut down…?
“The emergency response system will be activated according to the manual. The moment the emergency response system is activated, isolation between areas will occur first.”
“Is there something like a partition coming down from the ceiling?”
When they said that there would be quarantine between areas, that was exactly the scene that came to mind.
The reality went a step further.
“The entire terminal will be covered by barrier magic that is incomparably more powerful than walls made of steel.”
“Oh···.”
“Protection magic will be applied to the bodies of those whose identification codes are registered there…”
“You don’t have to worry about hostages while fighting.”
“That’s right.”
Actually, the goal was to do something later than to create a barrier or anything.
If the knights and warlocks decide to take hostages, we will have no choice but to be dragged along.
They say they are buying time through temporary measures right now, but since we don’t know when the warlocks will find a solution and start causing the magic storm phenomenon again, Helena wants to prevent the situation from going that way. It must be a thought.
“In that sense, let me tell you the way to the control room…”
Is that why?
Helena’s attitude as she explained the route to the control room, which could be said to be her destination, was as kind as ever.
It wasn’t about the voice or facial expressions, but the way he spoke.
Should I say that this means that even if you set out on the road with your eyes closed, you can still find your destination.
“But… will you be okay?”
“Are you okay? What are you talking about?”
“No… This is where recovery is roughly complete, but Helena looks like she’s having a hard time even standing up.”
Now, it’s not like he’s suddenly acting like a water buffalo, he actually did that.
Although other magicians residing at the terminal were nearby and helped cast the magic, it seems that the aftereffects of half-forcibly unleashing a large-scale magic that was originally supposed to be cast through a proper magic circle were quite significant. It’s already been about five minutes since I arrived here. It seems like the color of Helena’s face hasn’t changed at all from its original state.
“The rebound came only because the magic power was running out. To the extent of being so worried…”
Even though you said “, you haven’t been able to take your hands off the wall since a while ago.”
What if, as Helena said, it was at a level that could be endured?
I would have taken my hand off the wall a long time ago.
But the fact that she doesn’t do that and keeps pressing her hand against the wall… probably means that her condition is improving more slowly than she expected.
“This is what happened anyway. You are hiding here and recovering while we take control of the control room.”
While saying that, I looked at Ha-yeong and Dan So-so’s older brother Cheong-pung, who were standing next to me, for their opinions, and they expressed their agreement with my opinion by slightly nodding their heads.
It seems that it was impossible to move with someone who seemed to have difficulty even walking in a situation where no one knew how many enemies would come out.
‘I feel like leaving at least one person here…’
For the same reasons as mentioned above, it was also impossible.
No one knows how many enemies we will face before reaching the control room that Helena mentioned, so why would we go crazy and disperse our power?
” In my opinion, it would be more helpful for Helena to focus on recovering quickly without worrying about anything else and to recover as quickly as possible…”
“If you say that much… I understand.”
I thought that maybe he was afraid of being left alone in what seemed like the middle of enemy territory when his condition was not normal, but maybe there was at least a hidden trick.
Before we knew it, Helena had pulled out what looked like rocks with small letters engraved on them from her sleeve and began arranging them around her.
“Then… I wish you good luck.”

Due to Helena’s departure, the 4-man pot was suddenly downgraded to a 3-man pot, but that wasn’t really a problem.
That’s because among the three people here, there wasn’t one who wasn’t an expert.
Although I’m a bit weak… I can use magic instead.
The problem is whether it would be okay to reveal that fact to Cheongpung, Dangsoso’s older brother…
‘Well… it’ll work out somehow.’
Cheongpung’s personal love for me. Anyway, haven’t I been officially recognized by the party chairman?
So, you may be surprised by what you see, but there is little chance of you thinking strange things about it.
However, I was worried about cameras that might be installed throughout the terminal, but in conclusion, the presence of cameras was not a big problem.
That’s because as soon as I left the warehouse, what appeared before my eyes was a thick layer of gray smoke, as if there had been some kind of fire.
‘I definitely said that it would be nice to throw something like a smoke bomb to take the time…’
That wasn’t what it meant…?
How many smoke bombs did you put down…?
“···I think it would be best to cover your nose and mouth with your sleeve.”
“Yes? Wasn’t this… an ordinary smokescreen?”
“Yes, it looks like there is a very small amount of paralyzing poison mixed into the smoke. It looks like they changed the formula on the spot…”
Cheongpung explained that if you thought it was just an ordinary smoke screen and inhaled it without much thought, at some point the paralyzing poison accumulated in your body could suddenly cause a seizure and you could end up in a state where you could not even move.
“He’s my younger brother, but he’s really smart.”
So, why are you saying this in the presence of the person involved?
You treat people colder in front of you than you do to others, and you only do this behind their backs, which makes you hate them.
“···What is that look in your eyes?”
“Yes?”
“It was as if his eyes were looking at something very pathetic.”
“Me? Not at all?”
Anyway, I’m very quick-witted…
By the way, I ended up acting like a mercenary again… I wonder what I should ask for in compensation this time.
While wondering what I could demand from the Magic Tower Alliance… I slowly walked into the smokescreen.
