Episode 154
When Lucia came to visit, Yoo Hye-seong scratched her head with an embarrassed expression and smiled bitterly.
For Yoo Hye-seong, the wound to his pride was more painful than the pain from the hole in his shoulder.
I had nothing to say even if I had ten mouths since I ended up getting screwed over after doing whatever I wanted.
Instead of scolding him, Lucia threw him a potion.
“Can you move?”
“Of course. Thank you, Sister.”
“Next time, think carefully before you rush in.”
“Ahaha… … I’ll keep that in mind.”
Yoo Hye-seong answered obediently without making any excuses.
It was an appearance that did not suit him, who lived his life with no courtesy to anyone and only cared about his own well-being.
“By the way, my sister’s archery skills are still amazing even when I see them again.”
“Even if you let me get on a plane, I will report every single thing about this incident.”
“Tch.”
I wanted to hide it if possible, but I couldn’t help it since things turned out this way.
If Lucia hadn’t helped, the hole wouldn’t have ended up in more than just the shoulder.
“I have never heard or seen the Association attacking the Guild.”
Yoo Hye-seong looked around the ruined headquarters of Altron while pouring a potion into the wound.
All of the splendid sights had disappeared without a trace, and only the damage caused by the war remained, with places broken and shattered.
“Was it because Altron was attacked that he was easy?”
“Looking at what happened to other guilds, I don’t think that’s the case.”
“Oh, right. That’s right.”
The reason Yoo Hye-seong and Lucia came here in the first place was because they heard news that the guilds in the country were being attacked simultaneously.
Even though Yoo Hye-seong had already turned his back on the guild, he still had old ties with them and wanted to protect Altron.
But as you can see, the results were disastrous.
Albert has stepped down, but Altron has already been devastated.
The remaining guild members scattered, and only the seriously injured patients remained.
Even if the wounds on the body could be healed with potions, the shattered self-esteem could not be rebuilt.
“It seems like only yesterday that we were called the best guild in South Korea… … .”
Yoo Hye-seong felt a sense of responsibility as he witnessed the miserable reality of Altron.
It was natural for him to feel guilty, since his obsession with power and turning him into a monster was the starting point of his downfall.
“Can’t we do something about them?”
Yoo Hye-seong clenched his fists so hard that his hands bled as he tried to hold back his anger.
I felt so resentful of my own helplessness in the face of such humiliation.
“I know you want revenge, but I don’t think now is the time.”
“Yes? Did something happen?”
“Yeah. They came to our side too.”
“These crazy guys.”
Unlike her attitude a moment ago, there wasn’t even a hint of anger in Yoo Hye-seong’s muttering.
Even if you don’t know Altron, the ones who invade Pantheon just seem to be crazy people who want to die.
“Wouldn’t you die as soon as you get there? We have some really cool artillery planes at our headquarters.”
Yoo Hye-seong recalled the beam of light in the video that had blown away most of the guild union.
No matter how fast and long HU hunters were, it was obvious that one hit from something like that wouldn’t leave a single corpse behind.
“I said I’d only help you once, so this time it won’t be like that.”
“Huh? Was that something that required someone’s help to shoot?”
“huh.”
“Who is that?”
“secret.”
Even if I told him that it was a dragon’s breath, it was a story that was so unrealistic that no one would believe it.
Lucia decided that it was better to hide the truth as if it were a secret weapon rather than confuse Yoo Hye-seong with an unreliable answer.
“A secret… … So, that means there’s no laser this time, right?”
“Yeah. That’s probably very likely.”
“Then aren’t we in danger?”
“It’s dangerous.”
HU’s elite hunters had skills superior to those of ordinary hunters.
It would probably be impossible for Pantheon’s guild members alone to block it without taking damage.
“This isn’t the time to be here like this, sis!”
“You should leave as soon as your wounds heal.”
“No, you go first.”
“What if I’m alone and other guys get me?”
“What do you think of me, Sister? It might be hard to win, but I can at least run away.”
Albert, who had just fought, also had no difference in stats between him and Yoo Hye-seong.
Since battle experience and sense determine victory or defeat, if you only focus on running away, you won’t be able to catch up unless your stats are significantly superior.
Lucia nodded, feeling that Yoo Hye-seong had a point.
“Okay, I’ll go first, so don’t push yourself and just follow me.”
“yes.”
After hearing Yoo Hye-seong’s straightforward answer, Lucia immediately left the building.
She started running like the wind and soon disappeared into the distance.

“If only my sister could arrive on time, everything would be fine.”
Yoo Hye-seong believed that even without the artillery fire that blew up the Guild Alliance, HU’s hunters could be driven away with Lucia’s skills alone.
“I hope those HU guys break down after attacking my sister for no reason.”
Yoo Hye-seong recalled what had happened a few days ago when he had unknowingly challenged Lucia to a match.
At that time, Yoo Hye-seong was defeated miserably without even having a chance to fight.
It was a clean defeat when there was no chance of winning, so there was no hurt pride.
You can climb mountains and walls, but you can’t reach the stars.
To Yoo Hye-seong, Lucia was like a star.
“I guess I’ll start leaving soon.”
When the wound on her shoulder almost completely healed, Yoo Hye-seong got up and brushed the dirt off her buttocks.
“Oh, right. I should pack this too.”
Yoo Hye-seong picked up the spear that Albert had left behind.
It was an item that looked expensive at first glance, so I couldn’t just leave it behind.
* * *
HU’s elite in charge of the Pantheon encountered unexpectedly fierce resistance.
Because of their defense system and unity that is hard to believe for a new guild, HU’s hunters have not yet been able to enter the headquarters.
“I thought it was still shabby since it’s a relatively new guild?”
“This is why you shouldn’t trust those damn intelligence agents.”
HU’s hunters were hiding from the endless stream of long-range attacks.
If we continued on like this, we would quickly become a beehive, so we couldn’t move rashly.
Even though three people were dispatched, taking into account the presence of S-class hunters Seo Sang-ho and Yoo Hye-seong, the progress was the slowest.
Eventually, those in charge of the Pantheon had to ask for support from their colleagues who had dealt with other guilds.
“I have to stay here like this without any additional allowance.”
HU’s hunter ‘Khan’, who came in response to the request for support, let out a sigh.
“It’s already been an hour and you still haven’t gotten through a single barricade?”
“Don’t tell us anything and just try to break through it yourself.”
“Okay, look straight ahead, you idiots.”
Khan boldly walked into the face of the Pantheon’s Hunters.
“Shoot!”
The Pantheon guild members who discovered him unhesitatingly unleashed their skills on him.
A bow and all sorts of hidden weapons, and even fireballs created with skills.
Although they were all threatening, Khan did not hesitate and moved forward.
“No way.”
As Khan stretched out both his hands forward, a transparent barrier appeared, blocking all the attacks that came pouring in.
Pantheon’s guild members looked bewildered as they watched the attacks bounce off without any effect.
“Attacks are not working!”
“There’s nothing we can do. We have to charge!”
At the command of the leader in the lead, the guild members drew their weapons and advanced toward the barricade.
The guild members shouted and rushed forward, as they could not allow the opponent to approach any further.
The remaining HU hunters who saw that sight thought this was their chance and ran out.
“You’re coming out on your own two feet, you idiots!”
The four HU Hunters rushed towards the thirty-strong Pantheon without hesitation.
As if to prove that they hadn’t come at us head-on for nothing, HU’s hunters displayed overwhelming strength and took down Pantheon’s guild members one by one.
However, it was not as easy to break through the defense line as expected.
“What the hell are you guys doing? Why are you up again?”
HU’s hunters were shocked to see the hunter they had just defeated attack them again in good health.
No matter how many times I caught them, they would wake up like zombies after a while and there was no sign of their numbers decreasing.
“It seems like there’s a skilled healer out there?”
“Where is the recovery skill flying in from?”
“Hold on a little longer, I’ll check!”
Khan knocked down one of the Pantheon guild members who lunged at him with his fist and waited for him to get up.
Soon, a light came flying in a parabolic arc from behind the barricade and reached the fallen man, healing his wounds.
“Found it! It’s over there!”
Hearing Khan’s shout, the fastest of HU’s hunters ran towards the barricade.
“They’re after the healer! Stop them!”
“Where!”
The remaining HU hunters flew their bodies to block the guild members who were trying to interfere with their comrades.
Thanks to that, the path to the barricade was opened up in a straight line, if only for a moment.
HU’s hunter succeeded in shaking off the guild members and finding the healer in that short moment.
Yoon Da-yoon, who had been diligently throwing hills from afar, was startled when she saw a person who suddenly appeared.
“Whoa!”
Even if she screamed, there was no one around to help her.
“I’m sorry, but I think you’ll have to die.”
The other hunters were moderately touched, but the healer was not spared.
If you leave him alive carelessly, he will heal his wounds and return to the battlefield, so it was right to deal with him firmly when the opportunity arose.
However, the dagger pulled out by HU’s hunter stopped before reaching Yun Da-yoon’s neck.
“Ugh!”
HU’s hunter’s neck was pierced before Yoon Da-yoon’s and he collapsed helplessly on the spot.
Yoon Da-yoon discovered the arrow stuck in the opponent’s neck and realized who helped her.
“It’s Lucia!”
Three arrows flew in succession to the beat of Yoon Da-yoon’s voice full of joy.
HU’s hunters were all hit by those arrows without even reacting.
The other two were also shot in vital points and died with their eyes open, but Khan survived.
“Ugh!”
Khan pulled out the arrow embedded in his shoulder with his hand.
“Do you think you’ll be able to take an attack like this?”
Khan once again revealed the transparent barrier that had been blocking long-range skills.
No matter where the arrow came from, no other technique was effective against this technique.
However, soon after, a unique case arose where the barrier was pierced and a valid hit was landed.
The arrow shot by Lucia pierced Khan’s shield and lodged in his thigh.
“Ugh!”
Khan fell to his knees after being hit by arrows flying in succession.
Even as he sat there gasping for breath, he could not accept the fact that he and his comrades had been killed by a few arrows.
Khan felt like he was having a nightmare because he couldn’t believe it at all.
