Dongnam Construction (6)

Taaang-!

The huge gunshot echoing for a while.

. . Soon there was still silence in the garage.

But that was for a moment, and soon the bald head opened its mouth in disbelief.

“That, that monster…!”

The ‘.587 Monster’ bullet fired from the Lancaster did not shatter his left eye, but succeeded in penetrating it.

But that’s it.

“Does that make sense?!”

Caught by his eyelids, he was shocked as he watched the fiercely spinning monster bullet.

In the end, the bullet that did not reach Rodriguez’s brain gradually stops.

“I was one step short…”

Seeing that, Lockhart murmured in a sorrowful voice.

There, Rodriguez turned his head back.

“This is… the most intense pain I’ve felt in a while…”

Opening his remaining right eye, he said to Siyoon.

“It was a great fight. It’s been 10 years since I’ve come this far. But···!”

His elbows are pulled and his upper arm muscles swell as if they are about to explode.

A situation where he got too close to shoot Lancaster.

This distance, no matter how ‘bullet time’ it is, can’t avoid it.

“It’s my victory in the end…!”

A supernatural power that transcends humans was fired at Siyun with all his might…

“How many times do I have to tell you to understand?”

There, Siyoon turned her back on him and said.

Seeing that, Rodriguez couldn’t help but be momentarily shaken.

“?!”

At that time, blue magic power ran over the monster bullet that had pierced Rodriguez’s eye sockets.

The moment the spell imprinted on that huge warhead works.

“uh···?”

Like a lie, Rodriguez’s head exploded.

Kwaaang-!!

5th tier Fire attribute magic Explosion.

“I always have plans for the next one.”

No matter how steely the skin, there was no answer to bursting it from the inside of the head.

Soon, blood, whether it was a monster or a human, fell on them like rain.

Rodriguez collapses with a thud, just like his bro, with only his head missing.

He didn’t even have to look back.

[Accomplishment ‘There is no impenetrable shield’!]

[achievement rate 12/121]

[attribute point +1]

Siyoon spins the Lancaster once in his hand, and he’s good! It was tucked into the holster at the waist.

And those who watched the scene from beginning to end swallowed their saliva.

But that’s for a while.

Those who were certain of Rodriguez’s death cheered each other.

“Ro, Rodriguez is dead…!!”

“Absolute defense collapsed!!”

“Waaa-!!”

Of course, the service workers who could not escape and the employees of Team 1 who were injured and collapsed.

At the end, when Rodriguez survived being hit by a monster bullet, the shaved head who thought it was really over was about to burst into tears.

“Poetry, f*ck… I lived, I lived…! I thought I was really going to die…! Big!”

“Huh…”

Lockhart, who sighed as if he had endured ten years, let out an empty laugh without even realizing it.

“I really hope you can do it.”

He is a great man beyond imagination.

His ability to use guns and his use of various magic attributes are also utilized, but the most amazing thing is his ability to overwhelm his opponents.

It’s not enough to read a few moves ahead of the opponent, if necessary, induce them to make that move, and even if this side’s move is blocked, they always have the next move ready.

Recalling the battle from just now, Lockhart thought while wiping out a cold sweat.

‘He’s the type that should never be taken as an enemy.’

To be honest, when Wesley first appeared at the time, I was proud of my past self who quickly attached to him.

Well, such a way of living must have been the secret to Lockhart’s survival until now.

“Sigh. thank god···.”

Meanwhile, Ia-rin, who arrived late wearing a fox mask, collapsed in her seat.

When Rodriguez endured a monster shot, she was truly heartbreaking.

“I’m so glad…”

Her pure white sword energy, which was just before shooting, dispersed in the air and disappeared.

Eventually, she pushed the white lotus sword back into the scabbard.

Iarin’s eyes, shining with blue magical light, turned to Wesley, who was approaching the team leader.

‘To defeat that Rodriguez.’

To be honest, she had already given up halfway through running nonstop here.

He thought that no matter how talented Wesley was, he would never be able to break through the defenses.

At the same time, I rebuked myself countless times for dragging him into this fight too lightly.

If that’s the case, I’ll take revenge even if it means risking my life.

I was even making that commitment.

“hahahaha···.”

Finally, that man created another miracle.

The moment she confirmed the scene with those two eyes, she couldn’t help but feel that her entire body, which was extremely tense, lost strength.

“What can I do?”

Iarin looked down at her legs and murmured.

I was so relieved that I couldn’t seem to get any strength back in my legs for a while.

.

.

.

Siyoon bent down to pick up the necklace ‘Makya’s Soul’ that had fallen on the floor.

Apparently, it flew all the way here because of the recent explosion.

“…”

I feel the hand that picked up the necklace tremble slightly.

‘Is it this much even though I have imprinted the spell so far to suppress the recoil?’

Anyway, the Lancaster is a useless weapon in situations other than long-range shooting.

That’s why, when imprinting Lancaster, he only went all-in on these two things: recoil control and power enhancement.

Siyun, who quickly recalled the fierce battle with Rodriguez, thought.

‘As expected, the decline in physical ability is annoying.’

Just by making close combat easier to some extent, the number of cards that can be used will increase.

Siyoon raised his head.

[All attribute points required to open a shop have been met.]

[Are you sure you want to open the Attribute Shop?]

Originally, I would have opened the store with the [body] keyword without worrying, but now the situation was a little different.

The artifact promised by Nam Ki-seok, ‘Agzenon’s Bracelet’.

Its effectiveness had to be verified first.

It was because it wasn’t all about just getting stronger.

‘If Agzenon’s bracelet and Lee Hyung-kwon’s leather gloves create synergy as good as I thought…’

At that time, opening the special shop with the [Melee Combat] keyword would be the best scenario.

Siyoon trudged to the head of Team 1, tired.

Team 1, who was watching his fight, lowered his head.

Before long, he let go of the ax in my hand and wiped my face.

Siyoon’s shadow cast over his face.

There, team leader 1 stuttered.

“I···. I lost.”

“…”

Seeing him like that, Siyoon shed a smile.

“You bet that a big wave would come today, and I said it would come tomorrow. That tomorrow hasn’t even come yet.”

“hahahaha, isn’t it already an obvious result? What else do I need to wait for?”

He laughed as if he was frustrated.

“You were right. My eyes were blinded by my stubbornness and pride. In the end, I ended up selling my men’s lives on a gamble with only a 50% win rate.”

Team leader 1 turned his gaze to the side.

The scene where the power of the spirits prevailed and there was even an absolute defense, Rodriguez.

If it hadn’t been for Choi Si-yoon, they would have all been wiped out right here.

He was the one who forgot the most important duty as a team leader due to his insignificant sense of choice.

He realized it again only when the last moment of despair came.

“…”

“As promised, for the duration of your contract, I will listen to you without saying anything.”

He said with a rather relieved face.

“Do anything. If you want to bark like a dog, I will bark, and if you want to crawl, I will gladly crawl.”

Siyoon looked down at Team 1 and asked.

“Come to think of it, what was your name?”

He narrowed his eyes at the sudden question.

“…? It’s just Go Kyung-pyo…”

Si-yoon, who was squatting in front of him, held out his hand to team leader Ko and said,

“Okay, just get up. Go team leader.”

“!!”

If he hadn’t let go of his stubbornness until the end, and had led the matter to a worse situation, Siyun wouldn’t have been like this either.

However, at the last moment of the end, team leader Ko acknowledged everything and risked his life to fulfill his responsibility as a team leader.

Then he threw away his pride and asked Siyoon to follow him.

A person who had a sense of choice no different from other people, to a non-regular worker who looked down so lowly.

…Most of the people who live in this group of holy demons are like that from birth.

Everyone lives a set life as a cogwheel of this huge corporation, named employee.

But no matter how they say it, these are people, not parts.

If you don’t make something that can protect your self-esteem and comfort yourself, the efficiency will inevitably fall.

If so, what was it that the staff needed to maintain their work efficiency?

‘At least I feel relieved that I have not been weeded out.’

Still, that kind of comfort that I’m living a better life than them.

The Royal Family of Seongma Group, including Choi Jin-seong, knew this very well.

To do that, it was difficult for everyone to have the same full-time job.

That is why they divided the city into an inner wall and an outer wall.

Full-time workers on the inner wall living in a safe and tidy street, and temporary workers on the outer wall living in a dirty and dangerous street.

It instills in regular employees the perception that they who live on the inner wall are victors, and whispers to the people on the outer wall that they are outcasts.

A vicious method of using people’s unavoidable emotions to antagonize each other and split them up.

Blood Mage Chief Lee was the same, but Team Leader Go and his staff were not particularly special.

Many full-time employees were living based on that perception.

‘But.’

In the meantime, Go Kyung-pyo proved to him that he is a person who can change himself.

It takes great courage to suppress long-held stereotypes and admit one’s faults.

It was different from the monsters that had already been irreversible, such as Choi Woo-hyuk and Park.

Go Kyung-pyo opened his mouth with a shy face.

“Are you going to forgive me?”

“What is there to forgive? It was just a simple bet.”

In addition, Team Leader Ko was flawless in his platoon-scale tactical ability, even though he was weak in strategy.

If I could continue an amicable cooperative relationship with him, this would not be a bad choice either.

It is not necessary to subjugate everyone by force alone. That’s not even possible.

Siyoon was well aware of that fact.

Team leader Goh’s eyes trembled as he looked up at him.

“I messed up with my emotions this time, but I know that you are a competent team leader. You can tell from the fact that your subordinates follow you well.”

Si-yoon, who couldn’t bear to hold his hand, raised the hand of the team leader and grabbed it.

“From now on, it would be nice to be able to do well together, regardless of whether I am a regular or non-regular employee.”

He said looking back at the remaining team 1 staff.

“You guys too.”

“…!”

In addition, several employees lowered their heads as if embarrassed.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Didn’t they ignore and insult Wesley just for the reason that he was a temporary worker?

However, he is saying that he will do well in the future because it is not enough that he did not abandon them.

Seeing that, Team Leader Go smiled bitterly.

‘From the beginning… the size of the bowl was different from mine.’

Siyun gets up and lifts him up.

In addition, team leader Ko held Siyoon’s hand and said.

“I’m sorry. And thank you. I will definitely pay this debt sooner or later.”

“Because that’s what happened. If this contract is successfully concluded, buy me a drink.”

“hehehehe, if that’s the case, leave it to me. I’ll treat you to a very full course. Do you know that it is Namyangju’s Keimyungju? It also tastes great. It’s good for your body.”

“I look forward to that.”

“…This is another unexpected result.”

Lockhart, who had expected to see the late team leader’s doggy show just a moment ago, smiled broadly.

“Surely, it has not only strong power, but also that kind of tolerance.”

If you think about it, he didn’t treat the bald-haired Kim Hoon too harshly, who had recklessly attacked him.

‘It was said that a truly strong person knows when to wield that power and when not to.’

“There is nothing wrong with the old sage’s words.”

Meanwhile, Lena, who was watching Siyoon under the shade, unknowingly clenched her fists.

‘If it’s that person, maybe…’

It was then.

Someone shouted at Lena, who instinctively raised her shadow at the sudden presence.

“Now, calm down!”

“…?”

There was a monster in a fox mask.

Lena’s expression turned into confusion.

Needless to say, Siyoon’s expression became grotesque when he saw her like that.

“Isn’t this… Eugene?”

“Oh, long time no see. hahahaha.”

“Do you know someone…?”

“Uh, a little.”

After answering Lena, Siyoon glanced over Iarin’s face from head to toe.

It’s not the special uniform you’ve worn before.

A combat uniform reminiscent of an improved hanbok.

It was clear at a glance that this was her unexpected appearance, as she did not even wear a belly band on her chest, revealing her gender as it was.

In addition, the precarious-looking knees and legs are messed up with mounds of dirt, and the hem of the clothes is spattered with what is presumed to be the monster’s blood.

Now, I was hurriedly tidying up my bangs, but just looking at it, I was drenched in sweat.

“…what happened?”

“That’s… great. I-I also had work nearby. There was too much noise here, so I came here once.”

Siyoon frowned at that ridiculous excuse, but decided to just move on.

“It just went well. I still had something to say.”

I was trying to arrange a chance to meet you sooner or later, but it was good because he came to visit me on his own.

“What to say?”

In the meantime, team leader Goh, who had noticed, quickly added his words.

“I’ll be cleaning up after myself, so come on.”

“Then please.”

Siyoon approached Iarin and said.

“Then shall we go?”

Following him, Iarin asked.

“What are you talking about?”

After hesitating for a moment, she musketeed and followed him to his side.

“In fact, I’m just about to do it for you…”

There, Siyoon looked back at her with a hard face and said.

“Listen carefully to what I have to say from now on.”

That’s something I couldn’t say because I didn’t have a good way to contact ‘Eugene’ as ‘Wesley’.

“There is a traitor inside the White Flame…”

“…!!”

However, if it was Iarin, it was something that I should know.
