Chapter 284
Terrorism Response Team’s operational headquarters.
The team leader greeted Shin Ha-yul with a disapproving expression.
“Please keep your business as brief as possible. You know that this is not the time to waste time talking about trifles.”
It was natural for the team leader to react like this.
If a student with no blood in his head comes to him with an important message, everyone will react like this.
‘If it wasn’t for the Madosinga… … .’
If it wasn’t for the back ship called Madosingara, I wouldn’t have met Shin Ha-yul or anything.
The team leader’s brow furrowed even more.
‘Does he know that he’s become a real hero because he’s being advertised by the media?’
The team leader had a good view of Shin Ha-yul, but after today, I don’t think I will be able to see him well.
“A short explanation itself is possible. However, in that case, there is a high probability that the team leader will not listen to my opinion. That would of course lead to further debate. That’s more damage. Please give me about 10 minutes of your time.”
The already stern face of the team leader became even more stern.
There are now 2 hours and 17 minutes left.
10 minutes here?
“Are you saying that knowing how important 10 minutes are in this situation?”
Eventually, the team leader exploded in anger.
I don’t need any magic gods or anything.
I feel relieved to have to curse at the cheeky little boy who is obsessed with playing heroes.
“Of course I know. however… … .”
Is it because the team leader’s speech has become more intense? Or is it because he has been consistent from the beginning with an attitude of not liking it?
The atmosphere of Shin Ha-yul changed in an instant.
“What difference does having 10 more minutes make to you now?”
“… … what?”
no.
Shin Ha-yul is not the type to mess with things for such emotional reasons.
Being ridiculed so coldly now is a kind of shock therapy.
He was trying to gain the upper hand in the debate by increasing the team leader’s repulsion.
“The opponent is Anti Magia. They are untouchable terrorists that no other country in the world can properly respond to.”
Of course, as much as this method of speech makes the opponent more angry, there is a fatal flaw that causes irreversible results if it is twisted.
However, Shin Ha-yul was confident.
“Do you have any way to arrest them? Will giving you 10 more minutes create a way that wasn’t there?”
The confidence that will not be crooked.
The one who can perfectly convince them.
“You say what you want to say.”
The team leader gritted his teeth and glared at Shin Ha-yul.
A bright light flowed from Shin Ha-yul’s eyes.
that look. The words that will come out of the mouth of the next team leader will surely be the words he has been waiting for.
His eyes were full of such confidence.
“I’ll give you that word back. So what difference does it make to you if I give you 10 minutes?”
bingo.
“Answer me. A kid drunk with heroism. What if I give you 10 minutes… … .”
“It will be different.”
“… … what?”
Resentment or anger makes people simple.
No one is as easy to seduce as a man so simple.
“If you give me 10 minutes, no, if you hand over command to me, I can arrest 100% of Anti-Magia.”
It is easy to persuade as much as it loses complicated thinking and becomes simple.
“We can safely rescue 7,000 citizens. That’s why I came here.”
Since you are focusing all your nerves on the other person, the weight of the words you accept is bound to be different.
“So I politely ask you. Give me just 10 minutes of your time.”
Bend over here once.
This must have made the opponent’s head somewhat complicated.
In confusion, he only thinks of Shin Ha-yul’s words in a daze.
Everything was according to Shin Ha-yul’s design.
And here the final wedge.
“I, the Madoshinga, will bear all the responsibility.”
transfer of responsibility.
In a situation where there is no current answer, it gives you a new option to reduce your responsibility to some extent.
If you do this, most opponents will raise the white flag.
“If you say that… … .”
And most of them included the head of the counterterrorism team.
“I’ll listen and see.”
I still have pride, so my tone is rough.
If this is the case, the game is already over.
“thank you. Then we will start the briefing right away.”
Shin Ha-yul exclaimed inwardly and moved to the monitor where the team leader was standing.
“First, I will tell you how to neutralize Anti Magia.”

Attention focused at once.
Shin Ha-yul enjoyed those gazes and sang joy inwardly.
‘… … 7 minutes to persuasion. 10 minutes for briefing. It’s suitable.’
Had they gone through formal procedures, they would have had to scuffle for 30 minutes at least.
I saved a whopping 13 minutes.
‘The remaining time is 1 hour and 57 minutes. There is still plenty of time.’
* * *
After a briefing of about 10 minutes.
Silence flowed in the hall.
“more. Does anyone have any questions?”
“… … .”
“… … .”
no one answers
“If no one has any questions, can we continue the operation as it is?”
“… … .”
No one answered this time either. Everyone is completely bewildered.
“Then let’s do that. manager.”
“… … Wait, wait.”
At that time, the team leader who came to his senses got up from his seat and approached me.
“The rescue of Anti Magia… … How did you analyze it so perfectly? Has Madosinga been analyzing Anti Magia before?”
whether that statement is true
How would you prove your hypothesis?
No such question came up.
In the first place, such a question could not have arisen.
I invested 10 minutes in order not to ask such a question.
“If that’s the case, if the person who succeeded in the complete analysis of Anti Magia is in the family of magicians… … By all means, I want you to connect with him. Affiliation doesn’t matter even if you’re a magician. Advice as a consulting researcher… … .”
“Excuse me.”
It wasn’t me who interrupted the team leader, it was Mr. Seokhyun.
“There is no such researcher in my family.”
“Ah, it wasn’t the study of a magician. So, is it the research of the Blue Mage Tower? Then with that… … .”
“It’s not even the blue mage tower.”
“Then who… … .”
Mr. Seokhyun slowly turned his head to me.
“Here, Master Hayul, analyzed Anti-Magia.”
The manager opened his eyes and looked at me.
“After looking at the Anti Magia analysis table, you finished the analysis on the spot. And he even thought of how to deal with it on the spot.”
“that is… … the words… … Does that make sense?”
“You are free to believe it or not. I just told you what I saw.”
“… … .”
Laughter was heard all around.
Everyone looks like they can’t believe it.
“like this… … Since you showed me the results… … I have to believe… … . Anyway, this… … .”
The team leader glared at me.
The eyes looking at me are full of heat.
He seemed to know roughly what he was thinking.
‘If that statement is true, it may be possible to perfectly respond to terrorism that has not been able to respond properly until now.’
Judging from what I talked about as an advisory researcher earlier, it seems that you feel a great sense of responsibility in preventing terrorism itself.
You must be thinking this way.
“then… … .”
The team leader opened his mouth slowly.
You’re probably trying to ask if you can help me.
“later.”
However, now is not the time to be saying such things.
“Let’s talk about that later, after this incident is over. Isn’t that important now?”
“… … .”
The team leader’s eyes changed sharply at once. According to my words, he immediately grasped the situation and awakened.
“… … It was. Then, we will start preparing for the operation as briefed.”
Before I knew it, words of honor came out of the team leader’s mouth, not inferiority.
“yes. Please.”
The team leader nodded and gestured towards his teammates.
The team members immediately got up from their seats and headed somewhere in groups of threes and threes.
They each move to carry out their mission.
“Then I will go to the site first.”
“Please.”
Even the manager disappears like that.
Only me and Mr. Seok-hyeon were left at the headquarters.
“mister. i look forward to.”
“yes. Please leave it to us. 30 minutes from now. Not even an ant will be able to get in here.”
The old man bowed his head with a determined expression.
“yes. I will believe you.”
I bowed my head and thanked him.
I headed straight to the deepest part of the operation headquarters.
Tuck, Tuck!
As soon as I entered the room of the deepest team leader, all the lights in the room were turned off.
All systems are down, not just lights.
According to the plan, the old man shut down all the control systems in this room.
With this, the concern that my current appearance will remain as a record has disappeared.
“Whoa.”
I took a short deep breath and took out the A.S.
Then, they took the ‘Medium of Ignis’ and the ‘Saint Relic of Umbra’ in their respective hands.
“I didn’t mean to do it in such a hurry… … .”
And slowly, he concentrated his mana on the relic of Umbra.
Since all power was cut off, the inside of the room was pitch-black.
A shadow darker than the darkness began to stretch out.
I felt a shadow in the center of that shadow.
‘Forge the shadow of Umbra with mythic magic.’
Mimir has already found a way to forge this into a medium for mythic magic.
All I have to do is wrest control from the remnants of Umbra, following the methods Mimir has found.
‘About 10% of my current condition is the limit. It’s a bit disappointing.’
Originally, it was planned to use myth magic after the 7th circle.
Only then will we be able to take away even a little more control of Umbra.
If the control I can take away now is only 10%, the control I can take away after reaching the 7th circle is about 20%.
That’s twice the difference.
That’s why I put off Umbra’s mythology enchantment… … .
‘What can I do? This is the situation.’
In order to completely subdue Anti Magia, the power of Umbra is absolutely necessary.
It is better to use it now than to save it and become shit.
And well, honestly, I think I would have done this even if this situation hadn’t happened.
I don’t know if the 7th circle is close, but even if it’s far, it’s too far.
‘Let’s go back then and think again about how we can take away additional control.’
The method you are using now is a one-time use and cannot be used twice.
After reaching the 7th circle, taking additional control away should be rethought.
‘At that time, Mimir will come back to my side again.’
with Mimir. If you think about it again, the answer will come out somehow.
I’m so sure
“Whoa.”
I took a deep breath again.
A shadow wriggling in sync with my breath.
As if trying to swallow me, as if not acknowledging me, they stage a fierce protest.
It feels like a wild animal on high alert.
If you come any closer than this, they will attack you.
I feel such a strong will.
“I have no intention of leaving.”
I ignored the warning and injected some more mana into it.
My mana flowed into the shadows through the relics of Umbra.
A little more, a little more.
By the time I had poured about half of my mana capacity into it.
My vision reversed.
And when the next sight returns.
I was standing in the center of a world of white and black.
“To be stupid.”
In front of me like that, there was a woman sitting in a black and white monotone.
Sitting on a throne that seemed to be made of shadows, she crossed her legs with a bewitching gesture.
“In any era, men are so greedy. Wouldn’t it be nice if you quietly backed away when I warned you?”
It’s an expression that he doesn’t like me very much for ignoring his warning.
“still. Well, first of all, since it’s been a long time since I’ve been a guest. I should give you a welcome.”
At the same time as he said that, the light returned around him.
The light that only illuminated me and the woman expanded, and the world of monotone became wider.
“Come on. my shrine. To the Sanctuary of Shadows.”
The woman leaned over and rested her chin with her legs crossed.
“I, Umbra, the god of shadows, will welcome you.”
Umbra.
she laughed lightly.
“okay. What are you going to ask for power from me?”
