IT WAS the final battle.
Wonhee could feel it in her bones.
Lee Seodam was back, and that bastard finally found Song Moonho’s hidden mansion.
Of course, the coward didn’t co alone.
He wouldn’t dare.
Anyway, Lee Seodam and his group were just a few ters away from the mansion. Hence, Wonhee and Hwang Yejun had already co out to greet the enemies."
"That is your ex-boyfriend?"
Argh.
Wonhee and Hwang Yejun stood on top of Song Moonho’s mansion.
Thanks to their heightened senses, they could see the group of enemies rushing towards them.
Yes, only the two of us are left here.
There was no first or last line of defense.
In fact, there was no defense at all this ti.
Graham and Ahn Kisoo were busy defending half of what remained of South Korea.
Since Graham can’t use his ability because Hwang Yejun keeps making it snow, he volunteered to protect the countryside.
Jang Semi went to Bitna and Hamin after the two sent them an S.O.S call.
The problem involved sick Civilians, so Semi Unnie had to go as the ’God Alchemist.’
Yeon Soobin, on the other hand, went to raid a dungeon. Dungeons would still appear from ti to ti. But those were just weak dungeons that even C-Class Hunters could deal with. However, this ti, the Crack that appeared was dormant.
According to Soobin Oppa, there are new materials in that dungeon that he needs to make new weapons.
Hence, Wonhee and Hwang Yejun were left to defend the base.
It won’t be an exaggeration to say that the Big 4 Hunters of South Korea are what’s keeping this world safe.
Yes, the remaining Hunters in other countries were still fighting.
But the cause of all evil is here in our country.
"Wonhee-ya, I don’t want to say this, but you have bad taste in n."
Oh, that surely snapped Wonhee back to reality.
"What did you even see in that man?" Hwang Yejun asked, clicking his tongue. "He’s ugly, he’s short, and he’s a fucking weak."
"Now you’re lying," Wonhee said, sighing. "Yejun-ah, I know Lee Seodam is a bad person. But he’s handso and tall."
"Anyone who’s less handso and shorter than is ugly and short."
"When did you beco the personification of Korean beauty standards?"
"Ever since I was born."
Wonhee couldn’t really refute all of that.
"Don’t ever date a herbivore again, Chu Wonhee."
"Herbivore?"
"An herbivore is a very weak person, an omnivore is a slightly weak person, and a carnivore is a strong person– but not stronger than ."
"I think Lee Seodam is at least an omnivore."
"Nah, he’s an herbivore— his power didn’t co from him."
Ah, right.
Lee Seodam is using the Anti-System Virus as his source of strength.
"I’m sorry for being late, Wonhee-ya."
"Being late for what?"
"If you had t first before that herbivore, then you wouldn’t have spared him a glance."
"I already knew who you were since you were the strongest Hunter in our country, silly."
"Yeah, but I didn’t," Hwang Yejun said, shrugging. "If I t you, I would have pursued you."
"What makes you think you would have fallen for had we t when you were still active as a Hunter?" Wonhee asked curiously. "You were surrounded by many people back then. And I’m sure every Guide in the world wanted you."
"I just know I would have fallen for you at first sight," Hwang Yejun said confidently. "I would turn back the ti if I could just to prove to you that I’ll fall in love with you all over again even in another tiline."
"You’re in love with ?"
"I thought I made it obvious?"
"Well, I know you like . But love?"
"Forget what I said."
Wonhee raised an eyebrow, slightly offended. "Do you want to pretend that you didn’t confess?"
"Yeah," Hwang Yejun said, smirking. "Because I’m going to confess to you again, Wonhee-ya. After I deal with your ex, I’ll confess properly. I’ll make it so you wouldn’t be able to turn down."
She didn’t want to admit this, but that actually made her heart flutter.
But, on the other hand, it also made her feel sad.
I might never hear Hwang Yejun’s proper confession.
"Yejun-ah, I like you."
Hwang Yejun raised an eyebrow. "I know."
"I even like how arrogant you are," Wonhee said while laughing softly. "If we et again in another tiline— or even in another life— let’s get married early and have many babies."
Hwang Yejun, for the first ti, looked shocked.
It was a priceless reaction.
"How many?"
"Huh?"
"How many is "many babies?"" Hwang Yejun asked, serious. "We’ll get married early, but we should make babies a bit later since I want to monopolize you first."
"Uh, sure. I think I’d like to have at least three children?"
After all, Wonhee grew up with two older siblings.
"Let’s make it four since I’ve already co up with four nas," Hwang Yejun said. "Won-jun, Ye-hee, Ye-won, and Hee-jun. Those nas sound nice, don’t they?"
"What? You already nad our future children?"
Hwang Yejun grinned.
But the grin instantly disappeared when hundreds of what seed like little black blobs suddenly appeared in the sky.
Those blobs feel like pieces of the Anti-System Virus...
"Wait here, Wonhee-ya," Hwang Yejun said, removing his glove before touching Wonhee’s cheek affectionately. "I’ll marry you when I return."
Wonhee smiled and nodded. "I’ll wait for you, Yejun-ah."
***
OF COURSE, Wonhee believed in Hwang Yejun with all her heart.
However, that didn’t an she’d let him fight alone.
She could see a few World Rankers fighting for Lee Seodam while Lee Seodam was just standing there as if he was waiting for Hwang Yejun to get tired.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Lee Seodam plays dirty.
But Wonhee wouldn’t let that happen.
Hence, she activated her most useful skill at the mont.
Let’s take away those bad people’s abilities.
However...
[WARNING!
Guide Chu Wonhee, if you take away all the abilities of all the Hunters you consider as enemies, the System will be forced to punish you!
This world’s collective Mana would drop if you proceed!]
Ah, right.
The main reason why Bitna and Hamin were distributing Mana-infused food to the entire country was to increase the Mana in the world. Hence, to do that, they had to awaken the sleeping Mana in the Civilians that had survived after the Second Apocalypse.
However, Hunters and Guides were still the ones with the highest amount of Mana.
Hence, if she took away the abilities of the high-ranking Hunters that Lee Seodam brought with him, then the Mana level in the world would decrease significantly.
I know that, but...
Wonhee ignored the System’s warning because she already knew that she was running out of ti. "If I’m dying, I’m bringing those bastards down with ."
And then she activated her Skill.
From afar, she saw the Hunters that Hwang Yejun was fighting alone drop one by one.
She also saw the shocked look on Lee Seodam’s face.
Ah.
Lee Seodam probably thought I wouldn’t use my ability again to preserve the current Mana level of the world.
However, she took the risk.
All because...
Argh!
Wonhee clutched her chest tight when she felt it— her heart cracking once again.
She almost fell to her knees, but she gathered all the remaining strength in her body when she noticed the huge shadow that was cast over her.
When she lifted her head, a smile spread across her face despite the pain.
Finally.
Several circular objects that looked like small moons appeared in the sky— each one of them had cracks all over. But the most eye-catching was the biggest and the only smooth "moon," the one above Wonhee.
They’re back after so long.
The biggest "moon" in the sky quickly lost its smoothness when cracks appeared all over it, and then a familiar voice echoed.
"Wony-ah!"
Ah, it was a sha.
It was a sha that Wonhee wouldn’t be able to greet Gong Yool properly.
Welco back, Yool-ah.
CRAAACK.
The sound of Wonhee’s heart breaking into pieces was louder than any of the noises around her.
Soon, everything turned black.
She thought she was already prepared for that mont.
However, Wonhee realized that she had one regret in life.
I should have kissed Yejun one last ti.
***
WONHEE opened her eyes.
Yes, she did.
I’m still alive?
She abruptly got up, and when she looked around...
Where the hell am I...?
It was so dark in there that she couldn’t really see anything.
Moreover, she felt sticky since she could tell that her body was subrged in what seed like warm water.
"Guide Chu Wonhee, welco to the Lucky Star."
A robotic voice echoed in the dark space.
Wonhee knitted her eyebrows, confused. "Lucky Star?"
"Yes, aka the System’s womb."
Excuse ?
