Chapter 106 – Legion (6)

“I-I can’t go?”

“yes.”

When Lee Ji-yeon’s requested dispatch is approved and she prepares to leave the country once again. Oh Jin-hyeok was shocked to hear that only the two of Lee Ji-yeon and I were going this time, so he froze.

“Uh, why? I am a team member too!”

“First of all, neither you nor Jiyeon Lee originally belonged to a team, and this time we don’t need fire support, and because of the last incident, restrictions on minors’ activities have increased.”

I informed him of the proper rules, with an absurd response. In fact, the fact that Oh Jin-hyeok followed us around dangerous places is just unconventional. Obviously, the power he had was outstanding, and he would definitely need that power in the future, but not now.

“Is it because I was held hostage last time without doing anything?”

“I do not know. So, for now, just focus on training. Your power might be used more important someday, not now.”

Soon after, Oh Jin-hyeok, who had become limp, muttered helplessly, but there was no way to take him away either. I don’t know if Lee Ji-yeon insists strongly… In the first place, there is no way she would take him to a dangerous place by doing things that were unnecessary.

“No matter how much training you do, it will never be as good as actual combat experience. Having experienced it myself, I know how effective it can be in practice.”

“You have a lot of time. You don’t have to be in too much of a hurry.”

“I thought so too until a few days ago.”

He smiled and shook his head. A few days ago is probably referring to that time. A new species appeared, annihilated the team Seoyoon Kim belonged to, and destroyed a city in another place.

“I can’t be relieved because the monsters seem to be getting stronger faster than me. If such a monster suddenly appears in front of me one day, in front of the people I need to protect, I don’t think I can win.”

With a frown on his face, he poured out some of his heart. It is still immature, but it is the heart of a person who has experienced everything.

I remembered the moment when Oh Jin-hyeok first awakened. Apparently, his strength was manifested as he stepped forward to protect the monsters attacking his friends.

“You are not wrong. OK, let me ask you one more time.”

“Really?”

“Of course, it depends on Lee Ji-yeon’s choice.”

After thinking about it for a while, I changed my mind after seeing it.

Here I am just a person in charge, but in the other world, I have seen too many wars at my word and people who are pushed out of the competition after desperate struggles.

Enemies who were defeated and eaten while facing Lucy. They also fought sincerely with their own circumstances. However, struggling and struggling desperately did not change the reality. However, there is a difference between struggling and falling helplessly, so I wanted Oh Jin-hyeok to take a chance.

“I think that is correct. Although Jinhyeok is still young.”

And Lee Ji-yeon, who heard me say this, fell into agony for a while with a strange expression on her face.

“Then shall I take Jinhyeok with me too?”

“It is true that there is no time.”

Lee Ji-yeon did not deny it. You never know what kind of monsters Gate will spit out in the future. In this situation, we do not know what kind of damage we will suffer if we cling to the existing regulations and customs that are difficult to change and fix once.

“I will tell others about Jinhyeok’s work. Wouldn’t it be better this time? That person is coming too.”

She got off topic. The subject passed on is none other than the person who will fight alongside us this time. At the same time, neither Lee Ji-yeon nor I were people who didn’t like it that much.

“I can only hope that we don’t run into each other as loudly as we did last time.”

This was a really unavoidable part. I don’t even know why Liam, who doesn’t bother to go abroad except in very rare cases, came out this time.

I even clashed directly with Liam, and thanks to him caring about me, there is still a surveillance network in Korea, so I have no choice but to think of him as an annoyance, but Lee Ji-yeon also did not like him very much, moving according to his desires and using his strength rather than justice and greatness.

“But… I have to admit it. In this day and age, he is exactly what we need.”

Even she did not deny that Liam was an important person. He’s selfish and has a lot of gossip, but anyway, the power he has is real, and it’s a power that’s put to good use in a crisis situation. It was said that even if the attitude was not good, the result was certain.

[Then ask Jiyeon Lee if she can give you the power to replace him. I really…]

“See you later. Today, our job is to wait, so we are resting comfortably.”

It was then that a message from Lucy appeared on my phone along with a ringing notification. Apparently, I haven’t given up on Lee Ji-yeon yet, so I left my seat with a smile on my face.

[Lee Ji-yeon will definitely prefer this place where she can fight endlessly now that the waiting time is longer than the fighting time.]

“Uh, no.”

I headed to a remote place where I could comfortably talk on the phone without worrying about other people’s gaze.

It is true that the stronger and more important Lee Ji-yeon becomes, the less work assigned to her. Since you don’t know when and where something will happen, it’s natural for a strong Awakener like her to keep on standby for emergencies without bothering to commit to weaker tasks.

Certainly, others may envy you for not doing well and getting paid for it. However, considering Lee Ji-yeon’s personality and the fact that once she is put into a mission, she is only put in real danger situations, it is not a very comfortable and good thing.

“So what are you really trying to say?”

“Actually, I succeeded in creating a new weapon by processing the dragon heart obtained this time.”

Climbing up to the open rooftop, I naturally started talking on the phone while watching people smoking close to each other in the smoking area far away. Lucy, seen on the screen, put aside the story of Jiyeon Lee and showed something else instead.

“The total amount of output is the same as Longinus. The reason why the power contained in an ore with a diameter of only 1m is similar to the total amount of energy extracted from a large area of land is possible because it has a more efficient system than the current dungeon core-based ally’s strong heart. is.”

“Then, if we analyze and find out that, will our allies be able to mass-produce dragon hearts? A smaller, stronger heart?”

“Unfortunately, that is not the case.”

The possibilities of Dragon’s Heart are literally endless. But Lucy shook her head as if that wasn’t the case. The reason was that too much time had passed to split the obtained dragon’s heart and analyze its contents.

“Unless you analyze how a real living dragon operates its own heart, it will be difficult to uncover its secrets with an old, hardened relic.”

“Then there is nothing you can do. Because that wasn’t what we wanted in the first place.”

There is no reason to be sorry. In any case, the contents of our plan did not even exist in the spirit of improvement through the heart of the dragon.

Instead, Lucy completed a new weapon using the dragon’s heart as planned.

“The second magic amplification and emission weapon, Gungnir, that amplifies and emits pure magic power.”

Lucy raised a weapon in the shape of a huge lance, as if it were carved out of blue glacier or crystal. Like the existing Longinus, a strategic weapon that explodes unprocessed pure and huge magical power to gain a strong advantage over the opponent’s magical power.

So far, there have been more than one or two battlefields where that weapon has upset the balance, resulting in victory and avoiding defeat. It is a weapon of death that makes up for the weakness of allies that the smaller the size is, the lack of output, makes enemies tremble and brings victory to allies.

“You want to use both the old Longinus and the newly created Gungnir?”

“If you use it like that, it doesn’t work very well. The biggest advantage of divergent weapons is that they contain huge energy themselves, so the user simply needs to provide mobility and computational power. I will lend this to Kim Seo-yoon and order him to capture the enemy camp.”

The Awakener’s power, which no one knows the proper principle yet, and even Lucy can’t analyze, can be strengthened with strong will. Gangshim was just a kind of external battery that provided mana to the opponent.

So, obviously, the enormous power possessed by the divergence weapon could be melted into the power of the Awakener.

Lucy aimed for that and served as a test to give Kim Seo-yoon Gungnir.

“This, this…”

[Now you, who were ignorant of magic, know how much power it contains.]

On the screen, Kim Seo-yoon, who received the Gungnir brought by the flying servants, could not hide her embarrassment. Not because it was sudden, but because I immediately noticed the immense power it contained.

[The Coalition of Kobold Tribes is firmly resisting, centering on the leader of the alliance, Ose, so it was impossible to penetrate it with moderate firepower. Prove your strength by carrying it and piercing their shields.]

Without much support, Lucy ordered Kim Seo-yoon to break through the enemies holding on. This was because they had already calculated that it was possible, but Lucy did not bother to inform Kim Seo-yoon of that fact.

That was Lucy’s way of training Kim Seo-yoon, who had a mature ego that could be her own ideal.

[Can you?]

“I will. I have to do it… but because we can meet again.”

Biting her lip, she nodded as Lucy intended. Lucy persuaded Kim Seo-yoon that if she devoted herself to the Demon King’s army and served, she would send her back to Earth someday and meet her family.

For that, she would do anything. Because that was the most precious thing to her, more than her own life.

Lucy was only able to grasp the human mind and use it as a material for a thorough transaction.

[The psychological state of Kim Seo-yoon, analyzed through nerve reactions and hormones, is unshakable and firm. If so, don’t worry, you will be able to complete the mission perfectly according to the calculation results without any variables.]

“I’m not worried about losing.”

I laughed bitterly at Lucy’s boast that showed Seoyoon Kim flying across the sky with her wings spread. Emotions are ultimately caused by bodily reactions such as hormones, and it seems that when you fall into the hands of Lucy, who can control your body cell by cell, you cannot even hide your feelings.

In such a state, Lucy, who understands human emotions better and better, may even be able to manipulate those emotions as she pleases.

I don’t think there should be any handing over of Lee Ji-yeon to Lucy.
