saint (2)

While keeping all directions in check with his red spear, Jeong-do approached Seo-yoon’s side and whispered quietly.

“Association. Declaration.”

It was only two words, but they conveyed enough meaning. Jeong Do protected Seoyoon and quickly analyzed the battlefield.

‘A total of 7, no, 8 people.’

I could now sense a presence that I could not detect at that level of status. One person was hiding in the nearby bushes without being seen. Jeongdo frowned.

‘That’s not good.’

All eight people are level A or higher. Moreover, the woman in front of me is an S-class talent. It didn’t seem easy to escape this siege with just(?) a gold business card.

‘Where do these guys come from?’

This level of military power is something that only the top guilds in the country have. Could it be that those guilds are working now?

‘Is that possible?’

Jeongdo immediately denied that possibility. Of course, Seoyoon’s talent is at a level that any guild in the country has no choice but to covet. However, there was no way he would do such a crazy thing just to get Seoyoon. If this happens, the reputation you have built up over time will be destroyed. Moreover, even if they had succeeded in secretly kidnapping Seoyoon, there was no way that Seoyun would have cooperated. It was concluded that it was not the work of a large guild. then.

“Is it karma?”

In my opinion, there was only a crazy group that attempted kidnapping in the middle of the city while possessing the power of a large guild. However, when asked about the degree, the woman in front of me raised her voice and stepped forward.

“That’s unpleasant. “I can’t believe I’m being compared to those crazy people.”

‘Isn’t it karma?’

Of course, it could be a lie, but it felt like she was truly displeased right now. And Ixia agreed to that.

<Even in my sense, it doesn’t seem like a lie.>

That’s right. The degree was to provoke her with the intention of eliciting more information from her.

“joy. What is the current situation while cursing karma? “Is there anything different from them?”

It was an obvious provocation, but she reacted. Perhaps she has little social experience compared to her powers? Come to think of it, her voice still had a youthful tone to it.

“… I apologize for that. But we are also in an urgent situation. Please borrow the talent of <Saint> for a moment. “I will not only treat you like a distinguished guest, but I will also promise you a safe return.”

“If you wanted to ask for that kind of favor, you should have come with politeness and a gift instead of a mask and a sword.”

The woman got angry again at the level of sarcasm and responded.

“I went looking for you like that! But I was rejected… … .”

“… huh?”

I looked at Seo-yoon with the intention of asking if this was true. Seo-yoon remained calm even when the assailants were targeting her. She opened her mouth in a calm tone.

“Not long ago, someone came to see me for something other than joining a guild… “Without any explanation, they just asked me to trust them and follow them, so I refused.”

“… … .”

Are you crazy? It was absurd. Do they really think that is a proper request? The degree spoke to the woman in front of her.

“Are you asking us to just follow them without revealing their identity and destination? Are you sane? “Would you follow me?”

“… that.”

The woman was speechless. Thank goodness. Because it meant that they were at least aware of how unreasonable they were behaving.

“… I’m sorry. But it can’t be helped. “There are circumstances where I can’t tell you about this either.”

“okay. Like you said, it’s just your situation. “There is no need for Seoyun to understand that.”

The woman sighed at the firm answer.

“Do I really need to see blood? We do not want to commit meaningless killings. “If you just hand her over, I’ll let her go.”

‘I don’t want to kill… … .’

The moment I used <Binding Draw>, the attacks of the gangsters that attacked me were all attacks that avoided critical points. Certainly, as she said, the attack was aimed at subduing rather than killing. However, that could not justify their actions now. It’s just the kidnapper’s excuse.

“If you don’t want to see blood, you can just quietly step away. “There is no other option.”

“… I can’t help it. “Be prepared to have at least one arm.”

Is it over here? I wanted to wait a little longer for support from the association. When Do-do glanced at Seo-yoon, she shook her head and spoke in a low voice.

“It’s a mess. “I think they are probably using jamming equipment.”

also. They were the ones carrying out the kidnapping before the sun had set yet. Did you come out prepared to that extent? In the end, I had to escape on my own without help. Jeong Do said to Seoyoon.

“buff. And since these guys are strong, avoid engaging them as much as possible and act defensively based on the Absolute Shield.”

Seoyoon immediately nodded and used the buff on Jeong Do.

<<The saint’s protection> dwells in you. The user’s physical abilities improve. Physical abilities further increase due to the effect of the talent <Saint>.>

<Saint’s protection>

It was a new buff skill that was created as Seoyoon leveled up. You can fight at the vanguard, and there are even defense and buff skills. Seoyoon was truly growing into an all-rounder.

At the same time, there was a notification that the buff had been applied.

“Attack!”

The battle began again with the woman’s command.

* * * * * *

Quagwang!

“Pfft!“

As the woman deflected a powerful stab with her sword, the bench behind her exploded.

Considering the objective power difference, the gangsters, consisting of one S-class member and six A-class members, should have an overwhelming advantage, but the battle surprisingly ended up being a close fight without a one-sided flow. There were several reasons for this.

First, the difference in weapon level was overwhelming.

The King of All Diseases, a powerful weapon, changes every moment and launches unexpected attacks. The King of All Illnesses is designed to exert maximum efficiency no matter which character is loaded, but the compatibility with Diarmuid, which was loaded this time, was especially formidable.

Diarmuid was a hero in ancient Ireland who wielded as many as four treasure-level weapons.

Gae Dearg.

A red magic spear that Diarmuid received as a gift from a druid. It was a treasure that had the effect of tearing away all of the opponent’s magical protection.

Gae Buidhe.

A yellow spear given by the Fairy King. It has the effect of impeding the recovery of the injured target.

Diarmuid was called the number one spear of the Fianna Knights due to his skill in wielding two magic spears freely, but in fact, Diarmuid was very skilled in swordsmanship and possessed a pair of swords that were also called treasures.

Moralta and Beagalltach (Moralltach · Beagalltach).

They were famous swords that symbolized great anger and small anger, respectively. However, as a human, he could not handle four weapons at the same time, and it is said that Diarmuid only carried two of the four depending on the battle situation.

however.

King Manbyeongji had no such restrictions.

The four treasures changed freely at will and drove away the enemies. Above a certain distance, a red and yellow beam of light aimed at the nape of the enemy’s neck, and when he somehow narrowed the distance and rushed at him, a sword filled with terrifying energy cut into his waist.

Ryuserin, who was directly dealing with this ridiculous fighting method, and even Diarmuid, who was loaded, could only express admiration at the degree to which it was used.

<Sir! Excellent! If I could wield four weapons at the same time on the battlefield, I wouldn’t be afraid of 10,000 soldiers!>

Even at this moment, the King of All Diseases was making changes and dealing with the approaching enemies.

<The King of All Diseases has perfectly recreated the ancient weapon.>

<Moralta creates wind pressure every time it swings, breaking the opponent’s posture.>

“Hmph!“

Quagwang!

Each time Jeong Do held Moralta with both hands and swung sharply, the enemy’s posture collapsed. Jeongdo quickly rushed in without missing the opportunity.

Shoo!

The dagger of a strange man who was out of Moralta’s range flew toward Jeongdo. My eyebrows were slightly frowned.

If you cut down the enemy in front of you like this, you will have to take the dagger with your bare body. Jeong-do had no choice but to retreat and avoid the dagger.

This was another reason why the battle was prolonged.

The connection between the mysterious group was beyond imagination. It’s a level that can’t even be compared to the karmas I encountered when saving Sanghee. It was clear that they had been working together for a much longer period of time than just one or two years. To some extent, I was deeply impressed.

I ended with some admiration, but

Ryu Se-rin and the gangsters who were dealing with Jeong-do were in shock.

Even if you train only one weapon for a lifetime, it is difficult to reach the level if you do not have talent. But what is this man? Just looking at his face, he appears to be in his late 20s or early 30s. At that age, he is a master not only of the spear but also of the sword? Moreover, that strange weapon was constantly changing and targeting them.

Ryu Se-rin, the leader of the strange group, muttered without realizing it.

“how… “It certainly wasn’t this strong when I looked at it today.”

“aha. “I guess it was because of you that I was itching in the back of my head.”

Yesterday and today. There was a guy watching him. Ixia was not able to close her gaze today, but the only thing that bothered her was… Perhaps her senses were not in use at the time. Thinking that much, she rushed at the gangsters again.

Kaang!

Ryu Se-rin received the sword that Jeong Do swung with all his might from the front. The sound of metal clashing against metal echoed along the Han River.

“Whoa.”

Jeong Do distanced himself from Ryu Se-rin and approached Seo-yoon’s side. Perhaps it was true that they were treating Seoyoon as a guest of honor, but Seoyoon showed no signs of injury. No, it wasn’t at that level, but he even felt like he couldn’t attack properly for fear that Seoyoon would be caught in the attack.

‘That’s strange.’

They didn’t seem to care at all that other people would catch them carrying out a kidnapping in the middle of the city. Jeongdo was conscious of that and launched an attack that was as flashy and loud as possible, but they didn’t care at all. And in reality, I couldn’t find anyone else around here even if I wiped my eyes.

Does this make sense? It is said that Seo-yoon disliked crowded places, so he chose a trail with few people, but it was just about to become evening. Isn’t it so strange that there isn’t a single person at this time? Unless someone is intentionally blocking people’s access… no way!

“Are you killing everyone who comes near here?”

Ryu Se-rin once again got angry and refuted the radical content.

“What nonsense! We do not harm life carelessly! “I just laid out a barrier to hinder awareness on a large scale around me!”

It didn’t seem like a lie, but the story was also questionable. A barrier targeting this large area? Basically, a barrier requires both a catalyst and a magician to be effective for it to work properly. It would definitely take a magician to maintain a barrier this wide…

‘Right!’

One person still hiding in the bushes. That guy wasn’t exploiting his own loophole, he was maintaining his barrier! After making his decision, Jeong-do quickly grabbed Seo-yoon and ran towards the person hiding in the bushes. Ryu Se-rin shouted in surprise at that action.

“I got caught! damage!”

“late!”

King of all diseases is a red spear. The crab had turned into a zerg.

Crab Zerg is originally a javelin. In fact, Diarmuid is a javelin master who once killed a witch with a single throw by throwing a crab zerg. Jeong Do filled the jug with plenty of magic power and threw it into the bushes.

Kuaaaaang!!!

An explosion unlike any before occurred and dust rose up. The strange group was very confused, as if they had not expected that they would attack with a javelin all at once from that distance. Jeong Do did not miss the opportunity and retrieved the King of All Diseases, then ran as fast as he could while holding Seo-yoon.

Ryu Se-rin, who noticed this a little while later, clicked her tongue and gave an order.

“One of you will help repair the barrier again, and the rest will follow me!”

Ryu Se-rin quickly ran to the place where Jeong-do disappeared.

* * * * * *

How long did it take? I took a breather after dropping off Seoyoon, who I had been holding for some time.

“Whew. “I think I gave up the chase for now.”

The sun had already set and the surroundings became dark. The place is still a park. Considering the speed and time they ran, they should have left the park long ago, but they were still circling inside the park.

‘It seems that there are other barriers besides the barrier that hinders perception.’

What is this group doing? They’re targeting Seoyoon while carrying out such a large-scale operation. On that subject, it was also questionable that he only attacked Jeong Do and Seoyoon to the end to subdue them.

‘first. ‘I need to find the core of the barrier first and use observation.’

The moment when Jeong-do made up his mind and was about to take a step.

“found.”

A dark male voice came from behind me. The moment you hear your voice, you feel an eerie feeling that makes the hairs on your entire body stand on end. I’ve felt this way before. Yesterday, to be exact!

<It’s the same bad feeling I felt yesterday!>

And Ixia spoke as if her prediction was correct. The degree turned his head and looked behind him.

A man was standing under the dim light of a street lamp. Because of the ambiguous position, the man’s face could not be clearly seen. Jeong Do reflexively widened his distance and glared at the man.

“shit. They’re already chasing me. “If you need Seo-yoon that much, clearly reveal your purpose!”

The man stopped walking at the sound of an angry voice. And he still spoke in a low, sinister voice.

“Seoyoon? I don’t know what you’re talking about. You are the person I came to see. Calm down too.”

The man said that and took a step forward. Thanks to this, the invisible face swallowed by darkness was revealed under the light of the street lamp.

An ominous man who suddenly appears.

There was a funny monkey mask on his face.
