99 – head-to-head

[Successful subjugation of Illusion’s core executive, ‘Lexa’.]

[Rewards and privileges are paid.]

[As compensation, all resistance effects increase by 300.]

[Acquire the ‘Correspondence Summon’ skill as a special benefit.]

[Special Skill: Spectral Summon]

[When you find the belongings or traces of the deceased, you can summon the spirit of the deceased to talk or use it. Only a small amount of mana is required for summoning, and the summoned soul is bound to the user and has a master-servant relationship. It is not bound by time constraints.]

[However, if you are responsible for the death of the target, you cannot summon the corporeal body.]

The hustle and bustle of the noise disappeared, and a thick silence fell over the cave.

The cave became silent as if nothing had happened.

Only Lexa, who hung on the cave wall like the holy Jesus Christ and bowed her head, bore the traces of the bloody battle.

The mid-boss level was enough to defeat the blue witch.

I hadn’t realized that fact yet, and honestly, it was hard to believe that it was a feat that I had achieved in just three months of being possessed by this world.

When the mana is completely withdrawn, the arrows that pierce Lexa’s body and hang on the wall disappear.

at the same time.

– Took.

Lexa crashed.

As an aside, during the bloody battle, the [Magical Arrow] skill reached the MAX level.

And.

[The mutation function and control function of the ‘Magical Arrow’ skill are activated as a level MAX privilege.]

[The transformation function can change the shape of the arrow, and the control function allows the arrow to fly freely according to the user’s thoughts.]

Overwhelming features were unlocked.

Two functions played a big role in being able to easily cook a swarm of monsters and Lexa.

If it was a normal arrow, it would have pierced Lexa’s hands and feet.

However, at the same time as the strike, the arrow feathers were converted into hooks and Lexa could be hung on the cave wall.

And using the [Multi Strike]’s level max perks, Infinite Strike and Magical Arrow’s control function, he wiped out the monsters at once.

It was literally a ‘massacre’.

An overwhelming massacre that doesn’t even allow time to regenerate.

I wonder if I felt some kind of thrill and emotion from that cool subjugation and fraudulent ability.

Besides.

The current sum of stats was approaching [8,000].

A figure well over twice the average of S-class hunters.

This 8,000 figure does not simply mean that you have the strength of two S-class hunters.

In general, when the state of armed force reaches a certain level, the superiority of the game is determined by a difference of one point.

In other words, a hunter with a combined value of 3,000 easily overpowers two hunters with a numerical value of 2,000.

The reason why Lexar, who was easily overpowering us with at least A-class and S-class powers, was overpowered by me at once, because I felt that the gap in numbers was several times larger.

In reality, it would be between 1,000 and 1,500, but the interval felt by experience and intuition would have been several times that.

That’s why he must have laughed like a defeated general facing his end.

anyway.

Putting aside the second grader sentiment, I jumped on Draco’s back and landed in a so-called ‘superhero landing’ posture.

It was a landing method that I wanted to try someday.

The landing posture of my favorite hero, Iron Man, looked so cool.

-thud!

The ground shook slightly and a dusty wind rose around.

by the way.

“Ugh.”

sick.

Knees, fists.

It hurts.

No, they all do well in the movie, right?

A movie is a movie, right?

However, I couldn’t lose shape, so I stood up while enduring the pain.

A casual smile is essential.

“Is everyone okay?”

I approached, asking, but everyone was just making a puzzled expression.

Silence flowing for a while.

The one who broke the silence was Lesha, who now felt it was natural.

“Also! Taejin knew he could do it! I’m so glad you’re safe~!”

Wow!

Lesha, who had come out of the crowd, hugged me and was delighted.

At the same time, the cave, which had been in silence, began to breathe again.

“Taejin! it’s okay? What happened?”

Only then did Nayeon hurried up to me and looked at my whole body like a mother taking care of her young and asked anxiously.

It’s like waiting for your turn… It must be an illusion.

“It’s fine. Fortunately, there seems to be no major reaction.”

“Awesome, really. What are you?”

Nayeon looks up at me with her pupils dilated like a cat.

It is the gaze of the owner who longs for churro from the butler.

“what… would you be lucky? They said that when power is hereditary, it is close to a miracle.”

As I said before, the hereditary succession of power was still an area close to the unknown.

It is a gambling experiment in which the lives of both the extractor and the transplanter are dangerous.

Maybe Taejin’s father had the aspect of a fairly well-informed scientist.

anyway.

‘thank you. father.’

I posted a thank you to my father who didn’t even have a face to face.

And I looked at my mother Baek Mi-hwa and my younger sister Han Yu-ra.

The two of them had always been dumbfounded.

It seems quite shocking to see the reunion of the son and brother after 10 years.

Well, at that time, I should have been taking pictures of the sick mode full gauge, but after 10 years, I couldn’t metamorphose and appeared as a different person, so it’s inevitable.

However, even though it may have changed, I was still a son and an older brother to them, so I had no intention of treating the two of them badly, who had come all the way here to help me.

so that.

“You worked hard.”

First, I bowed my head to my mother and said hello.

“You’ve worked really hard too.”

I said hello to my younger sister, who so far seemed to be a DNA-like human.

“Yes. Nope. I didn’t do anything, what. My son suffered.”

“Oh, no. no. No.”

… Everyone seems to be polite about something.

In particular, Yura even waved her hand.

“Mother~ You worked really hard~”

“Ho Ho. No. You said you were Reina, right? It was a lot of trouble.”

Fortunately, the awkwardness caused by the reunion after 10 years is easily relieved by Lesha’s appropriate intervention.

It seems that there is no real daughter-in-law.

“Hee hee, no. You’ve worked hard, too~”

“ah… . I haven’t done anything.”

“No~ But what is that machine? Did you make it yourself?”

“Ah yes. It measures combat power.”

“What is it? It’s probably because Taejin is the younger brother, so he was an extraordinary person! It’s really cool~”

“lol… . Thank you.”

And Lesha, who skillfully handles the hesitant Yura and relieves her guard.

Looking at it like this, it definitely seems like a succubus worthy of being a ‘queen’.

Anyway, the greetings with my family were over, and Hye-seo and Su-a approached me.

“Looks like you don’t have the word limit. It seems that the grace of the Lord is overflowing like holy water from the Holy Grail.”

“hahahaha… . Well, it seems right that you are wearing grace.”

After that, Hye-seo also said hello.

With his characteristic nonchalant expression.

“It would have been really dangerous if it wasn’t for you. thanks.”

“no. We achieved it all together.”

“As expected, maybe it’s because he resembles a senior, he’s humble. You don’t have to be so humble. Did you completely defeat the Blue Witch?”

“Then thank you very much.”

During this training trip (?), I was quite close with Hye-seo. Even in the beginning, it was difficult to exchange a single word, but now we only joke once in a while.

So I humorously put my palms together and nodded.

“Put.”

Hye-seo smiled.

It was closer to a laugh than a laugh, but it was the first smile I had seen since meeting him, so I was a little surprised.

Of course, it was cut short.

“Then I’ll do some cave searching. I might have missed something.”

Hye-seo, who went back to investigator mode, started searching the inside of the cave, and Su-a began to heal the wounds suffered by the group.

I brought something to burn with Nayeon and Lesha and started a bonfire.

I don’t know if it’s the right situation to be leisurely warming up on a fire, but now we’re completely at odds with Illusion.

Two out of three high-ranking officials were killed, so they must not be standing by.

So, it was necessary to talk about the next step, and they began to huddle around the campfire.

#

The first thing that started as a topic was, of course, family history.

It was something that everyone, including me, was curious about, and the stories of the past that my mother told me were less special than I thought.

I broke up with Han Chang-ho due to personality reasons, and Yu-ra said she would follow her mother and I would follow my father.

To recap, it was this.

Even her mother said that she really did not know that Han Chang-ho became a spy who infiltrated Illusion.

He said that if he had known, he would have come to me immediately.

After becoming an Illusion spy, he got angry saying that he really couldn’t understand why he didn’t send me to him.

Since the dead do not speak, the answer to the reason could not be found.

There must have been a reason for not being able to deliver the news.

And.

“Let’s hug our son just once. I had such a hard time meeting you.”

Indeed, I could feel the bountiful, comfortable arms of my mother.

Uh-hum, Taejin-ah, I’m sorry.

Did you have a very good mother?

The short and regrettable hug was over, and the topic of conversation changed with Hye-seo’s return after exploring the cave.

The plan went wrong due to a bloody battle with a high-ranking executive of Illusion.

The plan to return to Seoul only to find the legacy of Han Chang-ho.

Having lost two high-ranking officials in an instant, the chieftain, Gad Rachel, would launch a city terror attack to catch up with discipline, and it was obvious that he would target us.

No matter what they do, they will want to catch us and hold a grand execution ceremony.

“That means we’re now dangerous, and our presence alone can cause damage to a city or town.”

In my opinion, Nayeon arranged it that way.

Hye-seo adds an opinion to the theorem.

“Especially, Lexa, the blue witch, was a subordinate who was favored and loved by God Rachel. In the meantime, rumors of a lover were circulating. Nothing has been revealed.”

“It’s a love rumor… .”

If that’s true, that’s a pretty f*cked up situation.

The madness of a man who has lost his lover is certainly not normal.

That he would commit all kinds of evil to catch us and take revenge.

Then, in the end, there is only one way.

It’s [head-to-head].

“I have to go.”

“Where?”

“To Gaikan.”

“However, the place where Gaikan is located is a top secret, so only high-ranking officials know about it… .”

Listening to Hyeseo’s concerns, I looked at Sua.

For us, the 52nd regressors, Gaikan’s location wasn’t a problem.
