Episode 180
The more intense heat, and the earth shakes so much that it’s hard to stay focused.
With Yusakbi, who had begun to show off his power in earnest, in front of me, I realized one strange fact and hardened my expression.
‘Why don’t the other two groups show up?’
This time, the subjugation group consisted of a total of five groups, but there were only three groups here now.
Now that it has been quite some time since I confronted him, of course, it was normal for the remaining personnel to also arrive and add their strength.
Perhaps I wasn’t the only one who noticed such a fact, before long, an exorcist belonging to another group called out with a face full of anxiety.
“Are Groups A-1 and C yet?”
“… … .”
Even if Hwang Se-woong belonged to Group A-1, it is also strange that Group C, which had no consumption, did not appear.
It was none other than Yusakbi herself who gave the answer to that question.
“Other humans don’t come.”
“What?”
“Looking at it, no one seems to have noticed.”
Only after listening to such a guy, I thought of the worst assumption.
‘Are you sure you’ve already suffered everything?’
However, after the battle with Hwang Se-woong, there was no moment in which we missed Yoo Sak-bi.
Besides, it was confirmed that they had clearly reached the point of contact until a while ago.
As I glanced around in amazement, it was difficult to find an intact space because it was covered with flames and smoke to a place farther away than I thought.
And after a while, I intuitively realized. What happened to the other personnel who were not here.
“… Super long-range sniper?”
It was an absurd thing to say, but if it wasn’t, it couldn’t be explained.
The exorcists who heard my murmuring, each colored their faces strangely, and put on expressions that were hard to believe.
They, too, thought it was nonsense, but came to the conclusion that it might be.
‘While he was fighting with us, he paid attention and prioritized those who were not present.’
What that meant was simple,
In the battle a while ago, it meant that he had that much energy left.
“That’s right. There are people who have a bit of a head spin.”
“Nonsense! It can’t be. It must have been a ploy to confuse us with lies.”
“That sounds stupid. Haven’t the signs of other humans actually disappeared?”
Sakbi’s words were justified. Looking at the situation, I had no choice but to believe it even if I didn’t want to believe it.
And now that the hindrance is gone, Yusakbi will show a more threatening movement than before.
Realizing that fact, the exorcists swallowed each of them.
“… Even with this number of people, nothing will change. Everyone, focus.”
Baek In-su, a first-class exorcist from the White family and the leader of Group B-1, encouraged the exorcists and pulled out a long pole from his back.
Looking at the aura he felt, it was revealed that he was a fairly high-ranking man, and that he would really risk his life from now on.
However, with such actions of Baek-soo, Yoo Sak-bi set the top priority once again.
“You are in good spirits. Let me kill you first.”
And as soon as the offensive started, the exorcists tried to interfere with him as much as possible by developing restraint and attacking techniques as before.
However, his movements have definitely changed from before.
Fuwaak!
Whoops!
“It doesn’t work the same way.”
A wall of fire that rose large enough to obscure most of the exorcists on three sides.
He hurriedly tried to break through it, but his firepower was insufficient.
And in the meantime, the noise of a fierce battle resounded from within.
Koo!
Kwagak!
Quad Duk-!
“It’s an attack technique! Break through the barrier by pouring the magic into one point!”
The wall was broken with a quick response, but the situation was not good.
In that brief moment, Baek Baek-soo, who had already been engaged in a fierce battle, was bleeding from his shoulder and breathing heavily.
‘It was only about 10 seconds… … .’
I had no choice but to admit. No matter how much the three gather, a first-class exorcist is not a special threat to the current guy.
If assistance was cut off even for a moment like now, they too would suffer in an instant.
‘If I take out all of my power now, can I defeat him?’
not. To be honest, it was difficult.
Hwang Se-woong’s blow was more than expected, but he still seems to have quite a bit of leeway.
Besides, as long as there are so many people together, if I took the lead in the battle, it wouldn’t be a good match.
‘In the first place, I can’t even use it right now.’
As I said, the contract I had with Gsondae was almost like making use of Bi-hyung’s heart and Gong-sam-i to make me, who is the party, recognized as my fellow countryman to be helped by my side.
Of course, he wouldn’t even care about the safety of the other exorcists who would fight with him.
Because I also didn’t have a long time to call Gersondae right now. To act hastily in such a way was like the best of friendliness.
‘… It’s difficult.’
As long as Baek In-soo, who is the most skilled in close combat, is injured, the passing team of the three first-class exorcists will not be as powerful as before.
It would have been nice if I could have brought Arietta, but it was a very regrettable point for not being able to do that.
“In this state, it won’t take even five minutes.”
“Great!”
Fuwaak!
Whoops!
As the fire wall began to rise again as before, the exorcists hurriedly raised their hands.
However, this time, our side moved one step faster.
“come out.”
slurp.
Fuwaak!
Gong-sam, who soared from my shadow in an instant, and Seo Ji-an, who formed a formation nearby.
The two raised their strength, and poured it into the wall of fire that hung in front of each of them.
“… Burn it!”
“Water flow.”
Cheeky!
Chi profit!
The vapor rising from the vast waterway and the barrier of fire that cracked open like the miracle of Moses.
It was likely that he was embarrassed by that, but the exorcists calmly shot through them without a single error.
“Clean Jujube!”
“Drawing into the air!”
“The Palgong Seon Ha Mangju (汃攻旋荷罔駐).”
In the fire of magic mixed with high-level techniques, Yusak-bi retreated back after being hit without being able to achieve what he had hoped for.
Then he looked at Seo Ji-an and said.
“… There was a mix of annoying things.”
The reason why Seo Ji-an had not used natural magic until now was simple.
It was because there was nothing good about being a target in the current situation, and it would have been more effective to keep the formation together as in the operation.
However, he seemed to have decided that it was time to take an active role, even if he deviated from his role.
And that part was the same as mine.
‘I didn’t want to force it, but… … .’
Now, Gongsam, who can handle fire just like him, was in desperate need of help.
If it was the current Gongsam, who had inherited some of the power of Gsondae and became stronger, even if it was the flames provoked by Yusakbi, he would be able to interfere to some extent.
Even though the exorcists looked surprised at our appearance, they firmly formed their formation again as if they realized what they had to do soon.
“First protect those who can break the barrier!”
“Those who can develop advanced techniques continue to speak mantras!”
At the same time, Seo Ji-an, who stepped forward, met my gaze for a moment.
“… Do you think it is possible?”
“I have to do something.”
“You have a surprisingly confident face. I’m a little reassured.”
Was it?
I tilted my head with a puzzled look at Seo Ji-an’s words.
Even now, he is busy discarding various options and searching for new possibilities, but there is no common sense like him.
But if she felt that way in me, there would be only one reason.
‘It’s a hill I have to cross anyway.’
Even for the exorcists of the subjugation group, that sarcophagus, which would feel like a powerful force of a lifetime, for me, it was just one of the processes.
It’s not that the power isn’t a big deal, it’s that the attitude towards fighting is different.
‘… … .’
Now, this is not the destination I was aiming for. There is still a lot of work to be done, and the road to be walked is very long.
So, no matter what, we couldn’t just stop here.
Perhaps he felt that kind of momentum, for a moment, Yusakbi also looked around my eyes with a strange gaze.
Then, looking at the wounds on the waist that Hwang Se-woong left behind, he murmured as if he was a bit annoyed.
“… It’s annoying.”
damn!
Kugugugung!
Huge rocks began to rise around Yusakbi’s body after he finished speaking.
Cuckoo!
Kudoduk-!
And it was quickly compressed and changed to a smaller size.
How much mass was contained within that rock sphere, everyone who watched could easily guess.
“I will change the way.”
“… … .”
“First, kill all the jerks.”
What Yusakbi was aiming for was the exorcists forming a formation from the rear, not the first-class exorcists at the forefront.
“Hey, hey.”
“Do you want to leave me like that?”
Whoops.
Wow!
damn!
The first-class exorcists used their powerful spiritual powers to perform magic, but Yusakbi clasped rocks all over his body and received them all.
Then, the bombing began.
Quang!
bang!
Whoops!
Kuwagwagwang-!
“Ahhh!”
“Keck!”
The formation of the exorcists began to collapse in an instant due to the overwhelming mass-based coal coals.
It was too much for an intermediate defense technique. It was not uncommon for people with broken limbs to appear, and some of them suffered fatal wounds and died instantly.
“bloke!”
“Stop it now!”
The advanced attack techniques of the first-class exorcists poured like anger.
However, despite the damage, the rhetoric never stopped.
The maddening force was enough to cause goosebumps and goosebumps.
‘… Completely deliberate.’
I figured out the nature of the attack early and used a defense technique that was specialized for it, but I was able to protect only a few people around me.
As a result, the scene that was soon revealed was tragic.
Severed and crushed human limbs are visible, and screams of pain fill all sides.
Among them, the number of people who seemed to be able to fight normally did not even reach 30% of the previous ones.
“… Now, things are a little clearer.”
A streak of blood dripped from his lips, and a staggering muffled mumble for a moment.
In return for neglecting the defense, he also suffered heavy damage this time.
However, to that extent, this was an overwhelming defeat.
With this number of people, it would be too difficult to form a formation any longer and to fully support the first-class exorcists.
Once this has been done, it is clear what will happen soon.
The exorcists who sensed that fact hesitated and rolled their eyes.
Immediately after, someone with a blade-like momentum quickly rushed towards Yusakbi.
“Geumsaejin (擒鎖陳)!”
Baek In-su, the first-class exorcist of the Baek family, looking at the situation, it seemed that he was trying to shoot the magic contained in the high-ranking pole as a last resort.
However, the attempt was too lightly thwarted, and the cost was disastrous.
Oops!
Quad Duck!
“Kuh-huh!”
No matter how much damage they take, in 1v1 battles, they are no match for Yusakbi.
The sound of breaking bones was heard and Baeksoo flew backwards, and then crashed into a group of trees.
‘… Damn it, it’s late.’
There was enough time to help, but it was difficult to move right away due to the blow that I had previously blocked with the coal coal.
Koo!
Yusakbi, who defeated Baek In-soo, immediately smashed the ground, and the next goal was to become an elderly first-class exorcist Lee Mun-hyeong.
“Great!”

Moonhyung Lee struggled, but the result was obvious.In the end, he too suffered a huge blow and fell to the floor, vomiting blood.
“… Koop! Heh heh.”
dump.
Until the situation reached that point, no one moved.
Some have not yet been able to get out of the previous massive blow, but some have not been able to move forward even though they can afford it.
He had already decided in his head the victory or defeat of this battle.
“bloke!”
The furious charge of Park Yong-jin, the only remaining first-class and the leader of our group.
But I could tell by looking at Yongjin Park’s expression. He, too, just resigned and fired a blow as if throwing his own body without any special room.
The moment Park Yong-jin, the last remaining stronghold, was about to face the same result, Seo Ji-an and Gong Sam-i, who had recovered from the shock one step earlier, managed to stop their movement.
sway.
Nettle juice!
Fuwaak!
Whoops-!
After two interruptions by this, Gsondae’s expression distorted.
“I’m a drunkard before, that’s annoying as well.”
Somehow they stopped it, but now the two have become targets.
Whoops!
In response to the lightning bolt that was fired in an instant, Gong Sam-i took a defensive stance and blocked Seo Ji-an’s front.
And only then, I was finally able to get my stiff body up.
Whoops.
Shrek.
slurp.
“… Me and you.”
At the same time, my shadow inflated its size and filled the earth.
