Gugugugugugu!!
From the left surges in
[Mobile National Assembly Vessel, Democracy of the Sky].
Gururururung!!
From the right pours down the Ilshin Hotel.
And that is not the only problem.
“Uaaaagh!”
“Save !”
People screaming as they plumt—
“I knew you would finally co to save !”
“It’s okay now...... You don’t have to save .”
“If I can fall with you, nothing else matters.”
The heirs of Yeonam, each spewing sentintal family devotion according to their own tastes.
“Are you really going to save those bastards too?”
“Of course!”
There is a very simple solution.
Chwarrrrrrrk!
I extended several of the tentacles wrapped around my entire body and activated magic toward the falling people.
[Feather Fall]
[Spell Boost: Multi Cast]
Giiiiiiing—
A basic enhancent spell that rely slows the speed of descent. This much is not even a waste.
The real problem begins the mont the panicked people lose their sense of crisis.
“What are you doing! Kill that monster right now!”
The shrill scream of the Commissioner of the Foreigners Administration. Look at that—save them and they imdiately turn around and start barking.
And besides—
“Chairman!”
One of the heirs who has not yet ford [Amity] with flies toward Chairman Mun Taeik.
Mun Taeik opens his mouth toward that heir and spews tentacles!
“Everyone, dance in the sky for a mont!”
[Great Gale]
Bwooooooong!!
A roaring tempest crashes in at once. A massive wind that cannot be shielded by hands or feet lifts the drifting people like willow leaves and shoves them high into the sky.
“Uaaaagh! Kim Sinhwa! Why!?”
“Why are you pushing away!”
The sky clears in an instant.
Ah, I did not blow everyone away.
There is still one ill tempered hamster who should not be rged with anyone else.
“The Chairman is this way!”
[Magnetic Control]
Giiiiing!
Mun Taeik’s wheelchair is pulled in by magnetic force.
“Chairman!”
The bodyguards scream.
“Kaaah! Kurr...... Krrrgh.......”
Mun Taeik lets out an unpleasant groan.
I extended a tentacle, carefully wrapping Mun Taeik, and spoke.
“Since the Chairman is not in good health— I will give you special care.”
[Protection Circle]
[Cold Bone Prison]
Chwararararak!
A barrier forms to bind him, or to protect him.
“Ki....... kill— you.......”
“I agree! Wow— what a view, right?”
“Kyaaa!”
Mun Taeik roars like a starving hamster.
Upset because you could not eat a brain thanks to my interference?
Right now, Mun Taeik is just an ordinary, gluttonous old man whose mouth happens to sprout tentacles and who happens to like brains.
‘But this version of Mun Taeik is troubleso in a different way.’
It is not a joke that he dies in one hit. In ga terms, he is literally in a state of 《HP : 1》.
Due to effects such as [Status Ailnt: Weakness] and [Status Ailnt: Disease], even that single point keeps dropping toward zero.
If the life support device connected to his wheelchair does not continuously restore his health, he could truly die.
“I will keep you alive, so stay still!”
[Euphoria]
[Lion’s Valor]
[Eagle’s Radiance]
Several spells are applied to Mun Taeik’s body.
“Sinhwa. This is not the ti!”
Ah, right.
[System : The trait ‘Heightened Vigilance’ activates.]
It seems my flashy entrance has drawn a bit too much attention.
“Rescue Chairman Mun Taeik!”
“Intercept Kim Sinhwa!”
Officials from the Foreigners Administration surge in from all directions.
Helicopters flood the sky. Drones rush in.
And from afar, sniper rifles and magic circles aim at .
“I am moved that you recognize even though I am wearing a different mask.”
So you will rember no matter what form I return in!
But I do not have the luxury to respond to such cheers. I am wedged between a massive airship and a building right now!
“Can I ask you to overlook this? I will hold a proper fan eting later.”
“Do you think that will work?”
And it is not only the Foreigners Administration attacking.
“You demon! Let us settle this!”
Do Cheol cos flying in with an elegant crescent blade, executing dazzling midair footwork.
Damn it, did he really obtain so fortuitous opportunity?
Tch, it cannot be helped. I took a deep breath— and activated magic.
[Sonic Shock]
“You bastards!! Do you have any idea what I am doing right now!???”
Kwarrrrrrrrrung!!
Chairman Mun Taeik, fragile as spun sugar, was protected in advance with [Sonic Distortion].
“Stop charging at and evacuate the people right now!!!”
Kwarrrrrrrrrung!!
I warned you.
Whatever happens next is your responsibility.
“Sinhwa! How long are you going to keep holding that building!?”
“Just let it go!”
“No! We still have to wait.”
“W, wait?”
Yes. Mun Seunghee has not escaped yet.
Mun Gyeongnam, who died in Sokcho, was a mage of considerable level and at the sa ti a cultist.
Not all of them reached that level, but most of the heirs of Yeonam Group possess enough combat ability or supernatural power to protect themselves.
They are all specially produced Designer Babies.
Born not only with wealth and power, but also with talents incomparable to others.
But Mun Seunghee was not granted such benefits. She is an illegitimate child born in an ordinary way.
Of course, she too has exceptional talent.
But only in areas required for corporate managent such as [Accounting], [Organizational Managent], [Human Resources Managent], [Planning Ability], [Analytical Ability], [Logic], and [Composure].
Mun Seunghee has no [Combat Ability] that can be used in a situation like this.
“Colly! Over there! That window!”
And yet—
This building was constructed by Yeonam Construction, and Mun Seunghee worked there for a long ti.
“That window is ordinary glass!”
“Ordinary glass?”
There are no secret passages in Ilshin Hotel, but there are several windows that can be broken.
“They were intentionally made that way for ergency evacuation!”
At those words, Curtain Call frowns.
“This is the tenth floor!”
I can jump from here, but you will die!
“Yes. The tenth floor! There is an evacuation descender here!”
Normally, every building between the second and eleventh floors is equipped with one. Ilshin Hotel is no exception.
“An evacuation descender?”
“A rope! An escape rope! Colly, it is inside that box. There is another one on the eleventh floor. Can you tell the people upstairs too?”
Only then does Curtain Call understand Mun Seunghee’s ability and smile brightly.
“Do sothing right now!”
The shout of the Deputy Commissioner of the Foreigners Administration.
A rebuke directed at the officials deployed to this horrific disaster site— or the site where an unprecedented disaster is about to occur.
“Send all forces to attack Kim Sinhwa! Kill him and rescue Chairman Mun Taeik and the Commissioner!”
The opponent is a heinous terrorist who toys with social leaders and is trying to cause a horrific catastrophe.
He must be eliminated at any cost.
“What are those idiots doing over there! Tell them to attack Kim Sinhwa too!”
The “idiots” he refers to are the personnel evacuating people from the danger zone.
Not only combat officials, but all available manpower has been mobilized.
Park Jumi of the Special Support Team steps forward.
Today was her day off. She was dragged out while dancing at a club, so she is more rebellious than usual.
“Evacuating people cos first! And Kim Sinhwa is not the cause of this incident, but rather—”
He is helping us! If we interfere with him, things will explode imdiately!
Even for Park Jumi, it is hard to understand, but right now it is Kim Sinhwa who is preventing the collapse of the building and the charge of the [Mobile National Assembly Vessel].
“You idiots! This is the chance to capture him while he is holding that thing!”
If Kim Sinhwa can be captured— any sacrifice is acceptable. It is not entirely wrong. If not now, how could that monster ever be caught?
“B, but.......”
“But what but! How is this any different from the civilian damage Yang Seoho causes while rampaging! Move imdiately!”
No, seriously, but!
Even if we all mobilize, can we really catch him? Would it not be better to save even one more person??
It is not only Do Cheol attacking Kim Sinhwa.
The operation explicitly carried out by the combat officials of the Foreigners Administration is as follows:
《While the combat forces prevent Kim Sinhwa from causing disaster, evacuate the people.》
In practical terms, they are rely interfering with Kim Sinhwa, who is preventing this disaster—
And in reality, they do not even fulfill that aning.
“Here, take this too!”
[Manroe]
[Snowstorm]
[Delayed Explosion Fireball]
Pajijijijijik!!
Raging lightning, blizzards pouring from all directions, fireballs planted in midair like landmines.
“D, dodge!”
“Uaaah!”
They can barely manage to avoid the attack spells created by Kim Sinhwa. No— even that evasion.......
“W, wait!? That is a trap!”
Looking up at the sky, Park Jumi realizes sothing from Kim Sinhwa’s movents and lets out a scream.
“A trap? What do you an!?”
“Kim Sinhwa is guiding people right now!”
“Do you think this is enough to stop !”
Do Cheol shouts as he dodges my attacks and roams the sky.
Ah, the old man really is strong.
There is no persuading Do Cheol.
Just like Hwang Incheol and the Conqueror— NPCs affiliated with the Hunter Association have values completely different from ordinary people.
‘Still, a little more provocation should work.’
I deliberately acted in a way that would enrage Do Cheol the most.
“Kuhahaha! But can you attack while breaking through the innocent officials of the governnt office?!”
[Bind]
[Invisible Hand]
[Forced Throw]
“Uaaah!?”
“My body won’t move!?”
I bound several combat officials and hurled them at Do Cheol. Literally human bullets.
“Kugh, you cowardly demon!”
He has no choice but to retreat.
I read his retreat trajectory and launch another official beside him.
You have no choice but to evade upward this ti. Now I will give you an annoying choice. Jump left or jump back. You chose back? Of course. Now left. This ti back. Oh, if you move like that— I will send them this way, and then the direction you can move will be.......
“Got you!”
I say that and complete the spell—
[Lightning Cage]
Pajijijijik!!
The combat officials and Do Cheol are trapped inside a massive cage of electricity.
“W, why!?”
“Well, it is a simple technique.”
You all thought you were moving by your own judgnt, but I restricted your options and herded you exactly where I wanted.
“And would you look behind you?”
“What? Uaaaah!?”
“Waaaah!”
They finally realize that the [Mobile National Assembly Vessel] is flying in from behind them.
Bwauuuung!
I hurl the detained officials and Do Cheol straight into the window of the [Mobile National Assembly Vessel].
“Go beat up the cultists instead of !”
Kwarjangchang!
There are cultists inside.
[Gremlin’s Prank]
[Spell Boost: Range Increase]
I keep firing spells that induce chanical malfunctions. The cultists inside must be frantic trying to repair the vessel.
And now I have shoved an enraged martial artist and combat officials in there— it will buy ti one way or another.
And then.......
“Sinhwa, Mun Seunghee escaped.”
“Good. I knew Mun Seunghee would manage.”
‘Have the others mostly evacuated too?’
Though an incompetent and malicious command structure interferes— most field officials of the Foreigners Administration are righteous civil servants with a sense of duty.
Since I shouted like that, at least so must have evacuated people.......
“Huh? It is more than that.”
I do not know what happened, but the Deputy Commissioner is lying on the ground. Looks like soone punched him out cold.
The officials have now abandoned attacking and are fully focused on evacuation.
“Phew— thanks to everyone’s help, this beca easier. Chairman, is it not quite touching?”
“Kyaaaak! Haak!”
“Hm? Now you are hissing?”
It is indeed touching. Enough for a 120 year old Chairman to start imitating a baby kitten.
“But I cannot drag this out any longer.”
I release the mana I have been building up by mobilizing even the other personas.
Giiiiiiiiing—
A magic circle vast enough to cover the sky of Sejong City unfolds.
A brilliant radiance like fireworks. Foam of light made of mana. Spell lines pouring down like shooting stars.
Each and every sigil and emblem contains imnse power.
“Good. Finale. Let show you sothing spectacular.”
Everyone thinks they are moving according to their own judgnt.
It is a simple technique.
