Episode 241
A cabin built on the side of an unknown mountain.
Inside, a woman was sitting with her arms crossed, lost in thought.
“These kids. Why are they so quiet these days?”
Half a year since leaving the Kingdom of Mariott.
Park Hyun-ah has been wandering around this kind of hiding place for a long time.
Although many were destroyed in the fight against Gatren, dozens of these hideouts still remained across the continent.
“Hmm, that’s weird. Whether it was a fireball falling, a lightning strike, or a typhoon. Something should have happened a long time ago.”
Currently, Park Hyun-ah was in deep trouble.
“Why are you so quiet?”
I have so much free time.
The Gatren guys who had been chasing him with their eyes closed for the past few months were nowhere to be seen.
This is the first week.
It was the longest period of peace on record.
It’s strange considering that no matter where he hid, he was found within three days.
Thanks to that, I was able to get some good rest, but I was starting to feel a little sick.
“Should I go from here first?”
It’s not like I’m going to Gatren because I’m bored.
Should I say that this is my own form of revenge for my dead comrades?
It was an enemy we would have to face someday anyway.
Now that my body had recovered, it was time to get into the fight in earnest.
‘It’s been about three months.’
It’s been six months since I left the Marriott Palace in a fit of anger.
During that time, I tried desperately to completely recover my body.
As a result, after three months, he had recovered enough to fight.
He continued to fight against Gatren without stopping.
So, this week of sweet rest was something I was enjoying after a whole three months.
As I had this much time left, I naturally thought of a man.
‘Choi Hyun-seok… That bastard hasn’t come back yet.’
I heard that Choi Hyun-seok also left the Mariott Kingdom.
Where the hell are you stuck?
Without any contact, he completely disappeared from the continent.
I thought I would soon run into him again while fighting Gatren, but contrary to my expectations, I haven’t seen Choi Hyun-seok even once so far.
“I don’t know! He’s a fool who’s good at taking care of things. He’ll probably live well.”
I don’t think Choi Hyun-seok would have died now.
Because a legendary strongman wouldn’t die so easily.
If Choi Hyun-seok was really dead, there would have been a fierce battle.
Of course, news should have come in some way.
If not, I’m sure he’s eating well and living well somewhere.
“Anyway, I can’t keep resting like this. I have to go now.”
Park Hyun-ah jumped up from her seat.
After a long break, my condition is at its peak.
It was time to move to destroy Gatren once again.
***
Park Hyun-ah, who came out of the cabin, used teleportation magic.
The destination is Kluvi Fortress.
It was a military base of the Holy Empire of Gatren.
After moving by magic, after walking for about an hour, the unique white castle walls of Gatren began to appear.
Park Hyun-ah smiled brightly, enjoying the pouring sunlight.
“Ah, shit. The weather is nice. It’s the perfect weather for fireworks.”
It’s common sense that fireworks in broad daylight are hard to see.
Yet the reason she said this is simple.
“Let’s cool off and blow away.”
The fireworks she shoots are not so weak that they can be obscured by this sunlight.
“Ssuk ssuk~ Ssuk ssuk~”
Park Hyun-ah starts drawing a magic circle while humming a tune.
As her hands moved, the ground glowed, forming increasingly intricate patterns.
“I think something like this will suffice.”
Time passes by to have a cup of tea.
Finally, Park Hyun-ah put her hands together in front of the completed magic circle.
Woohoo…!
The magic circle begins to greedily devour her magic power.
During the process, excruciating pain came.
It was the price of pouring too much horsepower at once.
“Ugh…! This is delicious!”
Park Hyun-ah did not writhe in pain.
Instead, he glared at the magic circle with a fierce smile.
Because this pain is nothing less than the power of completed magic.

For her, this level of pain was not only unfamiliar but welcome.
Deeng- deeng- deeng-!
A huge bell rang out from the Kluvi fortress.
Soon, divine power poured into the defensive magic surrounding the fortress.
“Okay, okay. You guys need to get ready too.”
There’s no way they wouldn’t know that such large-scale magic was being used.
It is a massive amount of horsepower that can be felt from tens, or even hundreds of kilometers away.
With such magical power gathering right before our eyes, the fortress must be in chaos by now.
“Even if it’s useless, isn’t it human nature to struggle?”
She shouted, and at the same time the magic circle stopped devouring the magic power.
All the magical power needed to activate magic has been gathered.
“let’s go!”
Park Hyun-ah stretched out her hand and hit the ground hard.
Vision Magic
Fireworks
It started with a single spark.
Pew pew! Pew-!
The quickly flying flame was blocked by the fortress’ defensive magic and exploded.
Although shaken by the explosion, the defensive magic easily withstood the attack.
However, Park Hyun-ah’s magic is just beginning.
As if the first spark were a signal flare, sparks began to fly from all directions.
Kwakwakwakwakwang-!
A series of sparks strike the fortress, causing a massive explosion.
The power contained in each flame is equivalent to that of a high-level warrior’s magic.
There are hundreds of such fireworks.
I couldn’t see inside, but I could tell what the fortress was like now.
The ground will shake from the impact, making it difficult to stand properly.
“Oh, dear. Can you hold out a bit this time?”
Park Hyun-ah’s eyebrows twitched.
Normally, at this point, the defensive magic would have been broken and the fortress would have been destroyed.
However, even though it was precarious, the fortress’ defensive magic held out.
To be exact, it was desperately trying to block the flames by repeatedly breaking and regenerating.
“Hoo.”
Three minutes passed, which felt short to Park Hyun-ah but seemed like an eternity to her enemies.
Finally, all the sparks went out.
The fortress, although broken in some places, somehow held its ground.
Soon after, as if they thought the magic had ended, a huge number of troops began to pour out from within the fortress.
“They really are coming out like a pack of dogs. But what can we do?”
Park Hyun-ah chuckled as she watched the white crowd pouring out.
“There’s still one step left.”
Vision Magic – Fireworks
There were still some splendid fireworks left to mark the end.
Exactly-!
Park Hyun-ah’s fingers snapped briskly.
The final spark was fired.
Phiuuuuuung-!
A firework dozens of times larger than any firework ever fired before.
The noise was also so loud that it sounded like a fighter jet was passing by.
“Bam.”
In time with Park Hyun-ah’s movements, a huge flame settled on the fortress.
The defensive magic that had already reached its limit was broken in vain.
The flame, which still had not lost its power, struck the very center of the fortress.
Hoooooow-!
A huge flame rises hundreds of meters from the ground.
My hair is blowing in the strong wind.
Soon, a noise like the world was falling apart hit my eardrums.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!
The hot temperature can be felt even from a distance!
Not only the soldiers inside the fortress, but also the pure white walls surrounding the fortress.
Unable to withstand the extreme heat, he collapsed.
A power that far surpasses that of the highest-level warrior magic.
This was the true value of vision magic.
It was only to this extent because the enemy was desperately defending, but if they had attacked without any filtering, not only the fortress but the entire area would have been blown away.
Phew-!
“He is the enemy of God! Kill him!”
“Wow-!”
Paladins and priests rush in from all directions, accompanied by the sound of horns.
Even though their base was destroyed, the enemies did not lose their momentum.
Should we really call them the elite soldiers of the Holy Empire?
At this point, it seemed like there were quite a few people waiting outside the fortress in anticipation of the attack.
It is clear that a lot of preparation has gone into it, as there are some hero-level characters mixed in here and there.
“I think I should just jump out.”
We’ve had a great time, so now it’s time to leave.
Dealing with the enemies right there wasn’t difficult, but the problem came afterward.
While you’re fighting them, support will continue to pour in from elsewhere.
At first, I didn’t know this fact and almost died while dealing with the remaining troops.
Since then, Park Hyun-ah has maintained a tactic of dealing damage with large-scale magic and then quickly retreating.
“As expected, teleportation is not possible.”
I tried using teleportation magic just in case, but it still didn’t work.
A large-scale force field was spread out across the area to pursue Park Hyun-ah.
“Is it time for another running race?”
Park Hyun-ah stretched her body slightly.
From now on, I had to work hard on my legs to shake off their pursuit.
There is no need to panic since this is something we are already familiar with.
They will never be able to capture Park Hyun-ah unless they set up a siege in advance.
Even if a legend comes.
‘As expected, his fighting power is that of a gangster.’
Her current combat power is 650,000.
Typically, legendary combat power is between 300,000 and 400,000.
Compared to the fact that even the highest-level legends, such as those that are said to be long and fly, do not exceed 500,000, 650,000 was an overwhelming number.
‘Well, fighting isn’t something that can be done with just fighting power…’
Of course, the power of a legend is not determined solely by combat power.
The countless battle experiences they have accumulated and the skills they have honed over a long period of time can be said to be the essence of legend.
In fact, Park Hyun-ah was unable to subdue Kinley Fusell when they faced each other one-on-one.
In terms of fighting power alone, Park Hyun-ah was 160,000 points higher, but it was a close match.
‘It’s different if it’s just running.’
But what Park Hyun-ah is trying to do now is not fight.
A chase between two people.
It’s just a simple run.
No matter how excellent your skills are.
When looking at just running, rather than combat where multiple factors play a role, the outcome is ultimately determined by specs.
It was for this reason that Park Hyun-ah was able to escape from Gatren until now.
“Then let’s meet again next time!” “You little rat! You thought I’d let you run away!”
As I was about to speak, I saw an angry female warrior running from afar.
Kinley Fusel and his companions, Geling and Asmund.
They were a legendary trio.
He probably ran here using the teleportation gate as soon as he heard the news of the battle.
While the force field was spread out, movement magic could not be used, but the gate was unaffected, so it was possible.
“고작 쥐새끼를 세 달이나 쫓아다닌 년은 도대체 얼마나 무능한 건지.”
Park Hyun-ah laughed and kicked the ground.
Kuung!
As the ground splits open, her new form shoots out at a terrifying speed.
“Stand there!”
“What the heck! Would you stand there?”
The legendary trio chasing from behind.
Park Hyun-ah, who is leading the way.
The distance between them gradually widened.
If things continued like this, it seemed like we would be able to shake off the pursuit in no time.
But Park Hyun-ah knows.
‘It can’t be that easy.’
He is not a little fool.
Recently, Gatren has been involved in countless chases like this.
Naturally, there would be soldiers waiting along the expected escape route, forming a siege formation.
‘I hope it ends in one day this time.’
Park Hyun-ah let out a small sigh.
This tedious chase lasts at least half a day.
At first it was shorter than that, but as the enemy’s skill increased, the chase became longer.
When it was long, there were times when I just ran for two full days.
Just thinking about it still makes my legs feel shaky.
“Here he comes! Get him!”
“Open the barrier!”
“Never let it pass!”
In the distance, I could see priests and paladins gathered on one side of the forest.
If left alone, it will create a barrier to confine itself.
Once the barrier is opened, it’s too late.
You have to stop it by using magic before that.
“Stop being clingy and get out!”
Magical power overflowed from Park Hyun-ah’s body.
It took magical form, just before it was shot.
“Kkaaaah!”
“What the heck is that!? Stop it!” “No! It’s too fast…! Cough!”
Suddenly the enemy formation began to collapse.
Of course, the barrier did not activate.
Park Hyun-ah passed leisurely over their heads.
‘What? Who else is there besides me?’
Just before passing them.
Park Hyun-ah scanned the battlefield to see what was going on.
“Huh…!?”
Park Hyun-ah, who was flying through the air, quickly stopped.
A man looking at himself blankly among the knights of Gatren.
Their eyes lock in confusion.
I searched for it so much, but I never thought I would come across it in a place like this.
“Sister? What are you doing here?” “What are you doing here?”
It was a reunion between priests after half a year.
