Episode 89 You’ve changed a bit? (2)
“I’m sure it’s about here.”
Sung Hyun-Woo scratched his head and turned his head around. He had been to the Academy to get the personal information, and he came here after the last traces.
Lee Jin-Woo.
The man Jeong Si-woo had told him about had applied for a mercenary guild to become an executive officer upon graduation. Originally, Jin-Woo had wanted to apply for the Hunter profession, but he had chosen his career because his uncle had stopped him from entering the Crack.
“Well, where is it?”
Sung Hyun-Woo walked from place to place and looked beyond the wall, activating his clairvoyant skill.
It was the right building, but it was hard to find people in the building.
“What are you doing, kid?”
Thud.
Someone put his hand on Sung Hyun-Woo’s head. It was a tough-looking man. He was wearing a uniform with a guild mark on his chest.
“This is not a place where you can just come in. Get out of here quickly…….”
Thud.
The man who was talking suddenly collapsed. Sung Hyun-Woo turned away with a grave face and put his hand on the head of the fallen man. The memory in the man’s head flowed to Sung Hyun-Woo.
“Oh, not this way, over there. But…….”
Sung Hyun-Woo, who was reading the memory, frowned. Was this the right guy? It was similar to Lee Jin-Woo’s face in Jeong Si-Woo’s memory, but the feeling was completely different. Sung wondered if he came in the wrong place.
Sung Hyun-Woo tilted his head and tried to read the memory again.
It was then.
“Oh, long time no see.”
Someone walked around the hall.
“That’s you, right? The kid that Si-Woo used to hang out with. You’ve grown a lot. I almost didn’t recognize you.”
The man had rough hair and a long black coat with all kinds of weapons. He had ears full of piercings and long scarred cheeks. He seemed to have been through all sorts of hardships. He could not be thought to be the same age as Jeong Si-Woo. The man walked toward Sung Hyun-Woo in a friendly manner.
“You are Lee Jin-Woo, aren’t you?”
“Hey, you shouldn’t call others by their names like that. You should call me big brother. But what’s going on here? It’s not a place for you to come.”
The sly smile left little of Lee Jin-Woo from the Academy.
Sung read Lee Jin-Woo’s two years of memories as he made eye contact with Lee and unknowingly uttered a word out of his mouth.
“Mister, you will be much more helpful than I thought.”

“Mr. Zhang Wei, how long do you think we’ll be able to hold out if all the Hunters withdraw?”
“Hmm… well.”
“Why? Is Mana that short?”
“No, I thought if we were to fight her, we’d die instantly without any recovery.”
“…….”
I was speechless. He was such an excellent man with a talent for making people speechless.
“What if we don’t die?”
“Most likely, we’ll be able to hold out for an hour.”
It was enough. Bouncing bullets with a mirage, I approached Han Yeon-Soo next.
“How’s the situation?”
“It’s the worst! Big babies can’t be taken out because she is tearing up Mana’s protective membranes and braking characteristics. If all my troops are killed as soon as they come out, my army is over!”
“Is it hard to focus on using little things?”
“That crazy girl uses a bomb and a flame thrower, not a gun. Meanwhile, she stopped the attacks with strange walls… She’s annoying.”
“Hmm.”
It was simply a rare sight for a madwoman to be irritated by another madwoman.
With spiders and bees, Han Yeon-Soo protected the Hunters, who were pulling out. Her leadership was unbelievably sophisticated. The sight of a flying bullet being stuck in a spider’s web and stopped was majestic. It was too bad there was no audience here to applaud for it.
“Okay. Hang in there.”
I tapped Han Yeon-Soo’s shoulders and moved. Zhang Wei and Han Yeon-Soo couldn’t move here. They were the main players of the defense line.
I turned my head.
Kim Seung-Hyun and Yoo Ji-Yeon were seen working hard behind the shield. They were the only ones left.
“Are you tired, Seung-Hyun?”
“…….”
He didn’t reply. Kim Seung-Hyun was sweating and pushing his shield with his eyes closed. Yes, he couldn’t hear me. The bullet hit the shield, and there were explosions everywhere. In the meantime, it would be weird that he answered.
I scratched my head, turned my eyes upward, and shouted.
“Yoo Ji-Yeon!”
“Huh? Uh!”
Yoo Ji-Yeon, who was flying in the air like a witch, replied to my voice. It would have been perfect if it had been a broom, not a staff, but unfortunately, no broom in this world could use magic.
“Not much to do, is there?”
“Oh, no. There’s a lot I do. My magic is blocking all the bullets and interrupting her. It’s an indispensable role without me, now.”
“Come down!”
“Oh? I see.”
I couldn’t believe that she had a lot of things to do. Seol Ah-rin was the perfect natural enemy of the sorcerers. The most important thing in magic was the Mana System, and Seol Ah-rin’s bullets ripped out such Mana. There was nothing Yoo Ji-Yeon could do among the raining bullets.
“You should’ve come down earlier. You got hurt.”
“Oh, but I thought I’d still have to be up there…….”
However, she only got hurt. Yoo Ji-Yeon’s lobes were filled with torn and charred traces of whether she was shot. There were no injuries thanks to Zhang Wei, but if she had been hit at the critical point, it wouldn’t have been strange if she had died as it was.
Under these circumstances, her stubbornness and trying to step forward somehow was no different than before and now.
“The magic doesn’t work on her. What you’re doing now is no different than throwing matches into the sea and asking why it doesn’t catch fire.”
“…….”
“Don’t just stand there, help me.”
Crack!
Even during the conversation, Seol Ah-rin’s bullets flew toward us. One of the miracles that circled me like a flying bug bounced a bullet. Whether it was torn or not, it was not possible to break down the material of Orichalcum.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Get out of here!”
I could see Seol Ah-rin running wild in the center. Her eyes were naturally frowned upon by the look of madness. Her ability could destroy Mana, but at the same time, she could use up Mana. However, she didn’t seem to use it up yet.
‘That’s a good thing. If yes, there would be no solution.’
When she used up her Mana, Cracks appeared indiscriminately in the area. Contrary to her tendency to hate Cracks and hate Monsters, Seol Ah-rin was a walking disaster that caused Cracks whenever she used her abilities.
