109 – Numbers_5
“Stop!!!”
A back alley on the outskirts of the city.
When I glanced behind me, Chun Yoo-seong was fiercely chasing after me, raising his voice.
The reason was none other than Marie, who was drooping on my shoulder as if she had passed out.
‘They follow me well.’
They still didn’t seem to realize that this was not to kidnap Marie, but to lead Chun Yu-seong to an uninhabited place.
No, even if he realized it, he had no choice but to come, so it didn’t matter.
Still, it would be better if I didn’t realize it, since it would be annoying if there was suspicion later that the abductor wasn’t Astra.
By the way, it’s been about 30 minutes since the chase started.
The speed is adjusted, but seeing that he is still not out of breath, it seems that his stamina has improved considerably compared to Mutuje.
“If you don’t want to stop…”
A faint light shone around Chun Yoo-seong’s body.
It was a precursor symptom that one of the possessed abilities was being activated.
– Bang!
Chun Yoo-sung, whose physical abilities have been enhanced by his supernatural ability, spurred the floor and landed in front of me at tremendous speed, blocking my path.
‘As expected, he’s the main character.’
It seemed that he was able to handle the superpowers that he couldn’t properly use in Mutuje.
It was not the pace of development of an ordinary cadet.
If the situation is good enough, wouldn’t it be possible to face an A-class hero?
The speed of development was higher than expected.
“Marie—”
A low growl.
It looked like it was quite heated.
-Kwaaang!
“Give me!!”
And rushed at the same speed as the wind.
But there was no problem.
The reason was that my skills were higher than Chun You-seong’s, but another reason was that I knew that Chun You-seong couldn’t attack me.
He puts Mari, who was carrying it on his shoulder, in the direction of Chun Yoo-seong’s attack.
“!!?”
Chun Yoo-seong flinched and stopped the attack.
I didn’t miss that moment and focused my mana on her feet and put a kick into the side of Cheon Meteor.
“Keoouk…”
Chun Yoo-seong grabbed his side as he heard the sound of his ribs breaking at the attack, which he had no time to guard.
“My…Way…”
He endured the pain like a hero for a while, but he gathered mana and attacked again.
The damage received from the first sum was the same, so the speed was noticeably lower than the previous attack.
There, I threw out Marie again and attacked, but I had no choice but to stop while flinching.
Chun Yoo-seong, who opened up a gap in such a confused state, had no choice but to allow the attack.
“Keuuugh, cowardly…”
How cowardly.
It’s just efficient.
I don’t have to move to dodge, I can attack unilaterally, and even save time, but I don’t understand why they’re cowardly.
It is said that a thousand people have a thousand thoughts, but I still thought that efficiency was all the same, but to be called cowardly to sell it…
“You are…”
Anyway, how many times did you repeat that way?
No matter how much the main character was, he was still a human being.
Unable to withstand the accumulated damage, Chun Yuseong collapsed on the floor, barely holding on to his consciousness and exhaling a rough breath.
‘This should be enough.’
From noble mtl dot com
Even if it’s a main character, it doesn’t seem like he’s awakening by getting the main character correction every time.
Then there was nothing more to worry about.
In the first place, this is a plan to make Chun Yuseong and Astra fight.
What we need to do from now on is to build up misunderstandings.
There is no reason for the two to fight to the death just because Chun Yoo-seong is guided to the place where Hozumi Rei is, so planting misunderstandings was the first step.
[Sarah.]
[Yes, I’ll bring you.]
I informed Sara, who was in the shadows, to begin the plan.
Then, a group of black suits that had been placed in every corner of her back alley appeared.
The group of black suits look alive from a distance, but when you look closely, you can see that they are not breathing.
However, it was difficult to tell the difference between Chun Yu-seong, who was barely conscious of the fact.
“You’re late.”
Use a skill to change your voice and speak appropriately.
“It’s because you did it openly.”
Sarah controlled one of the corpses in the front row of the group in dark suits, mimicking her voice.
“I understand that there was no request to deal with it quietly, right?”
“Still, there are limits. And to come with her tail on top…”
One of the black suits lightly kicked Chun Yoo-seong.
Then, I saw Chun Yoo-seong’s body flinch slightly.
But there was no reaction beyond that.
It was true that he couldn’t move, but he pretended to faint and listened to the conversation between me and the black suit and was trying to figure out the situation.
‘As planned.’
It’s a childish play, but it’s enough if only those who accept it properly accept it.
I’m also distorting the situation by using skills, so I don’t know if I’m observing it openly.
You may think that the conversation between me and the black suits is flimsy, but it is clear that you will not realize that it is a play.
“It’s noisy, and the price is more than that?”
“You have to check things first.”
“Astra has died a lot. It’s a world apart from when I was there.”
“Keep the contract.”
“Tsk. I can’t help it.”
Hand over the appropriate amount of Mari to the black suits.
The black suits pretended to check according to Sara’s control.
“Mary Lindbergh is certain.”
“Then you have to keep the contract, right?”
“Do you think we are like you?”
A black briefcase being held out to me.
I also nodded while pretending to check my briefcase.
“That’s right. So, is this the end of the contract?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, then go away… Ah, really. Say something to Ray. It’s okay whenever there’s an easy thing like this.”
“It is not a name to be casually mentioned as an outsider.”
“Oh, yes. Okay. Enough then.”
And the moment you try to get out of here.
“Wait.”
The black suit called out.
“Why?”
“Are you not going to clean up after yourself?”
A black suit pointing to the floor.
Chun Yoo-seong’s body trembled slightly again.
I looked at Chun Youseong for a moment and shook my head.
“Why me? Is my contract over? If you want to do it, do you guys take care of it yourself?”
“What?”
“It’s annoying, so take care of it yourself.”
Then I quickly moved on and got out of here.
It was because I needed to prepare for my next role.
**
‘Damn it…’
I could feel the crowd of black suits filling the alley leaving.
When I opened my eyes with difficulty, I saw Marie walking away.
‘Damn it…’
My body doesn’t move.
It was because of the wounds from the strange black robe that kidnapped Marie, and the bones in various parts of her body were broken and there were no healthy places.
‘Move…’
Do not move.
Even if I circulated mana and pulled her blood as if I was going to vomit, she didn’t move.
‘Reach…’
Even if I stretched out my hand, Mari only went farther away.
‘Please…’
If she doesn’t move now, Marie may suffer a terrible fate.
There is no optimistic outlook.
It was obvious what a villain organization that openly kidnaps people like this would do.
There was no happy ending for those kidnapped by the villain organization.
“Yes…”
Going farther away.
Out of sight.
Marie moved further away, a distance that could no longer be reached.
‘I…’
I regretted it.
I regretted over and over again for not being able to protect Marie in the labyrinth.
That’s why I wanted to become stronger and worked hard to become stronger.
But I was defeated, so I gritted my teeth and tried again.
Except for the essential schedule, I devoted myself to training and achieved results as a result.
But even that was not enough.
It was so lacking.
‘Would it be different if it was him?’
That’s why I had a question.
If it was Lee Seong-hyeon, not Chun Yu-seong, who was here.
If it was the guy who saved Marie from the labyrinth.
Could she have saved Marie?
If it wasn’t Chun Yoo-seong, it would be Lee Seong-hyeon.
Wouldn’t the end of the story be different?
“Tsk, annoying.”
A voice came to Chun Yoo-seong’s ears.
I felt the man in the black suit who was left to clean up look down at me.
“From now on, if something like this happens, close your eyes and live. Well, that won’t happen anymore.”
The man in the black suit pulled out a dagger from within her arms.
Then he subdued Chun Yoo-seong and aimed precisely at his neck.
I was going to stop breathing at once.
In order to overcome the situation somehow, Cheon Yoo-seong tried to twist his body using mana and release the suppressed state, but he could not break the suppression.
“Goodbye.”
Daggers rushed along with the horse in the black suit.
‘As it is…’
The end?
I still can’t even save Marie-
“To where?”
– Bang!
A roar struck.
At the same time, the man in the black suit was thrown out, and a wall in the alley collapsed, raising a cloud of dust.
However, the dust cloud was quickly dispersed by gravity and wind, and as soon as the dust cloud lifted, Chun You-seong was able to see the man who had saved her.
A familiar face.
It was Lee Seong-hyun.
