152. Butterfly Effect (3)
Hwiiing─
A gentle breeze passed by, licking my hair.
Various buildings are lined up like trees in a forest, but most of them are empty.
And on the walls of the buildings, ivy vines were entangled like parasites.
Because it had been abandoned for a long time, there were cars with broken windows lined up on the road, and pieces of broken concrete were spread out in a heated manner.
Despite being baptized by time, the visible landscape clearly showed traces of the violence that monsters had once trampled and crushed.
The current location is Suwon, Gyeonggi-do.
In the past, it was one of the ghost towns that had not yet escaped the aftereffects of when the gate was first created.
Seoul, where I mainly work, is much more advanced in civilization and convenient technology than when I was originally in the world.
Ghost towns like this were common even if you went out even a little bit.
In other words, it is a very suitable environment for demons and criminals to hide in.
However, even in these places, there were a few civilians who could not escape and were not even recorded, and it is said that the demons targeted only those people and kidnapped them.
Ghost cities were usually off-limits areas blocked by the government, so Lim Ga-eul and Sofia, seeing this for the first time, both sighed.
“······There is no life here.”
“Yes, it feels like a dead city.”
Baek Seol-hee, who had been silently looking down from the rooftop of the building they were heading to, turned her head and opened her mouth.
“Then, let’s go to the plan.”
At her words, we nodded with nervous faces.
This operation was very simple.
I enter the enemy camp alone and attract the attention of the enemy.
In the meantime, Baek Seol-hee, Lim Ga-eul, and Sophia rescue the hostages.
The most important thing in a rescue operation is not to allow the enemy to use the hostage’s life as a weapon.
For this reason, it was natural for Baek Seol-hee, not me, to come to the rescue.
And for the safety of the hostages, Sophia and Lim Ga-eul were also organized into a rescue team.
“Acceleration—!!!”
Lim Ga-eul held the magic stone in one hand and applied a buff to all party members at maximum power.
Even Baek Seol-hee expressed small admiration, perhaps because the buff of 10% of her physical ability was unfamiliar to her.
“······Not bad.”
Lim Ga-eul made a subtle expression at her words, confused as to whether it was a compliment or a displeasure.
‘You rate it so highly. Well, the 10% increase in Instructor Baek Seol-hee’s specifications will be felt differently from us.’
I nodded to myself.
Baek Seol-hee hardened her expression again, clenched and unclenched her fists a few more times, and after inspecting her, gave an order in a firm voice.
“Jin Yuha. Enter.”
“Yes.”
As soon as she gave the order to enter.
I fell straight from the roof of the building.
Huuung─
The wind passing by my ears.
Two Mainers standing guard at the entrance.
The top of their heads, which appeared as a small dot at first, gradually grew in size.
Sereung─
When I got closer to the bottom, I pulled out the moonlight from my belt.
Hook!
Hook!
“Oops!”
“Ugh!”
As he fell down and stabbed the sword diagonally into the demons’ necks one by one, they couldn’t even scream and died on the spot.
Good.
Then, I turned over, walked silently, and landed without making any sound.
He caught the bodies of the two demons who were about to fall backwards and carefully laid them on the floor.
And then I held my breath and turned on my sensors to check the mood of the people talking inside the door.
“······I wonder what kind of nonsense this is.”
“f*ck, that’s right. “Every time I stand guard in the dungeon, the kids are crowding around and it’s so noisy that I’m dying.”
“Can’t we just kill him? Could they at least torture me? Or at least let me eat it! f*ck. “This doesn’t work, that doesn’t work. If you’re going to do this damn thing, why did you bring those bastards in?”
“Hey, does the Mine Society look like sh*t? And then everything flies away.”
“Ha, f*ck it. “I feel like sh*t these days because of that witch, why are you like this!”
I lowered my eyes and looked at their level.
‘I think his skills are at the same level as the demons he faced back then… ‘Why are there so many demons?’
The level of each one seemed to be no different from those who fought last in the previous mid-term evaluation.
However, the number of people gathered in the hall is close to a hundred.
If you count the entire building, there might be more.
I put the earphones in my ears and spoke in a low voice.
“The total number of people detected is one hundred and two. There may be more than this. And it is confirmed that the hostage is imprisoned underground.”
[ OK. Jump right in. ]
I looked at the huge iron gate in front of me, wrapped my sword with mana, and drew a diagonal line.
Seogeuk─
The thick iron door was cut like tofu.
Then he kicked open the closed iron door.
Then the cut door panel leaned its heavy body inward.
Kkieeeik─
Cow~!!!
A door falling with a sharp metallic sound.
The demons gathered inside looked at the entrance with puzzled faces at the sudden situation.
“······What, what!? “What kind of guy are you?”
“Who are you!!! “What kind of bastard!!!”
“Huh? Me, a boy…!?”
“Where have I seen that face before?”
I immediately calmed my eyes and looked around.
This may have originally been a space used as a hospital, but against the gray-white background, old hospital furniture and broken marble floors caught my eye.
‘First, the guy who looks the most annoying.’
After making a quick decision, I immediately swung my sword horizontally.
The first thing I targeted was a woman with short curly hair who was sitting at the information desk with a dumb expression on her face.
One sword, two swords
Lovely love━!
Her sharp sword energy flew towards her, tearing the air.
Shut up!

“Keuuu!?”
She noticed that her sword was aimed at her and threw her body to the side.
Because she could not completely escape the scope of her work and extremes, more than half of her torso was cut off.
“Keueeeh·······.”
She fell to the floor, her face contorted as her intestines poured out of her.
It was still alive and writhing, but it would probably be soon.
“Bu, unit commander!!!”
“You f*cking idiot!”
“What are you! “What are you doing, you idiot!!!”
Paang─!
I didn’t answer what they said and kicked my foot.
The sword light is flashing.
The head of a guy in front of me flew into the sky.
Pshaaa─
A fountain of red blood spurted from his headless body.
“This is crazy!!!”
The other guy standing next to the decapitated Mine hardened his expression, spun his ankle and swung his fist at me.
“Look back!!!!”
A knuckle with thorns came right in front of him, but he calmly lowered his head and avoided it.
Phew!
The sword was fired from bottom to top in that state.
“······f*ck you.”
The sword thrust into the chin pierced through the back of the demon’s head. His eyes rolled around.
And the guy who was targeting me behind my back.
At the same time as he pulled out the sword from his chin, he stretched out his foot backwards.
Tung.
“Ugh!”
Mine, who was hit in the abdomen by her back kick, frowned and took a step back.
I turned, extended my sword, and stabbed it into the guy’s heart.
And then he pushed his shoulder and even skewered the guy behind him.
“Kkaaa…”
Push!
Let’s pull out the sword.
Sharp.
Sharp.
The demons fell to the floor.
“······.”
A black-haired boy suddenly appeared.
In the blink of an eye, the five demons were cut down.
Even if the demons try to understand the current situation as it is.
I couldn’t accept it with my sanity.
“······Monster, monster.”
A demon pointed a finger at me, calling me a monster, but I didn’t mind.
Slaughter no different from the mid-term evaluation.
But, my attitude toward it was different from back then.
Thump. Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.
A heart that beats slowly.
My head sank coldly.
There was no feeling of guilt for killing someone.
That’s what it means to be a demon in this worldview.
These guys are willing to kill a human just for that reason.
Because they were human but not human.
At that time, one of the demons shouted in a terrified voice.
“······Ji, Jin Yuha!”
“What?”
“Jin Yuha! Jin Yuhaya! Why is that crazy guy here!!!!!”
“Jin Yu? That utopia!?”
“That bastard who killed Rebecca!?”
When the demons found out about my identity, they aimed their weapons with greater tension than before.
I couldn’t rush in right away.
Apparently, killing the five in an instant and releasing the video of Rebecca being captured were effective.
That moment of hesitation.
I raised the corners of my mouth.
‘If you do that, I’ll be grateful.’
Because it gave me a chance to stir things up.
‘If you’re going to attract attention, it would be better to attract it clearly. I wouldn’t know if the instructor was alone. ‘There are Lim Ga-eul and Sophia.’
I raise my sword.
I hit the dirty marble floor with all my might.
Kwahah Ahhhhh !!!
With a loud noise, a thick cloud of dust rose up.
[Rescue team, entering. ]
As a signal, Baek Seol-hee’s voice was heard.
