Former and present (4)
After going up to the 1st floor by the main elevator, take the 3rd floor dedicated elevator again to the upper floor.
While moving, a broken front door, fragments of wood, and sand dust came into view, but I didn’t pay much attention.
drooling.
After a while, a trembling sound announcing the arrival is heard, the elevator door opens, and the third floor hallway appears.
Unlike the previous visit, the doors on both sides are broken one by one, revealing the interior scene.
was it a bit late
I check the bedroom, drawing room, dressing room, etc. in turn and proceed toward the study.
Tables and sculptures, picture frames and flower pots, and more.
Fragments that had lost their original shape by intruders were trampled on by the soles of their feet, causing noise.
＜There is a survivor ahead.＞
“… … .”
＜Not yet dead.＞
Then, all of a sudden, attention is turned by the parrot’s report.
In fact, inside the door to the next compartment, a person was strewn about in a place where no intact furniture was left.
The identity of the victim is Kim Da-yoon’s senior, Kim Woo-jun.
“Grrr
“… Do not say.”
Soon, as I got closer and looked at the extent of the injury, I couldn’t tell whether I should call it good luck or bad luck.
An arrow was stuck in the right chest and blood was pouring out, but two stab wounds in the abdomen were outside the main organs.
However, as a result, the attacker did not retrieve the weapon and the amount of blood loss was small – so he would not die.
“… Cool.”
In the midst of this, Kim Woo-jun tries to speak out, even coughing up blood again.
If the adopted life is the same, the person called the chairman is so important.
I set out to carry out the mission the goddess gave me, but even though my body was fading, it was like urging me… I didn’t understand.
“Wait like this. Don’t move.”
“Kuk, kuk!”
“… yes. I’m going.”
However, there was nothing more I could do, so I left the injured person and headed for the final destination.
At the end of the corridor, the chairman’s study.
Of course, of course, the chestnut-colored doors had been torn off and were scattered on one side of the floor, and the wooden bars that subtly reflected the interior scene looked as if they had been eaten by wild beasts.
However, there was a reason why the old man who led the family decided to stay in the study until the end.

My steps are blocked by a solid steel wall.
It was a barrier that worked in case of emergency.
Theong-
It took a while for me to hit lightly with my fist.
Entry using force is meekly abandoned.
The reason why the vibration and sound quickly subsided was because he had an intuition that both the thickness and strength were unusual.
“… Where is Yoo Young-tae?”
＜Got in.＞
“how?”
＜The chairman opened the door himself.＞
At the moment, I frowned because I couldn’t understand the comment of the new head, but I urgently recalled the memories of my previous life to make up for my lack of understanding.
People who don’t know how to do it may only pay attention to the unique ability called [Shadow], but I knew a human named Yoo Yeong-tae.
[Cognition] and [spatial sense], [instinctive avoidance] and even [five senses].
The list of skills that seemed insignificant at first glance showed great power only in person-to-person combat, and sometimes… It was also used to infiltrate closed places.
Therefore, this time, he must have transferred a part of his body to threaten the president and open the door with his own hand.
If this is the case, the problem of how I enter remains.
Suddenly, a parrot flew in from outside the window and perched on my left shoulder.
“What are you doing?”
“… what.”
“The door isn’t locked.”
“… … ?”
As I roll my head trying to interpret an unexpected story, the bird’s head points to the round knob with wings.
“When I came out, I heard the sound of the lock turning, but when I went in, it didn’t, so it means it was open. Because even old people are clever. I’m not listening to the president for nothing.”
“… … .”
Indeed, when I pulled the entrance handle, the iron door pushed out with a heavy feeling.
Quite a bit, I wrote a number.
“It’s hard to help from here.”
“I didn’t even ask for help.”
“… I heard that a tree that is ready to grow is different from the cotyledon. Did you grow up without eating cotyledon when you were a cotyledon? I’m saying this because I’m not very good at talking.”
“… … .”
“Anyway, don’t be alarmed. I might be able to use my right arm, but it’s only bones attached… Be careful.”
Soon, the trivial quarrel was settled.
Instead of answering with a voice, I briefly nodded and squeezed through the crack in the door.
At the same time, he completely removed the splint and fixing bar covering his right hand, and checked the number of daggers by groping his waist.
Battle preparations have been completed.
Bubbly.
And before taking a few steps from it, a spacious space appeared under the orange light from the ceiling.
“… Is it dragon water?”
“… … .”
As expected, there seemed to be no problem with the chairman.
no.
To be precise, the entire study was calm as if nothing had happened.
File folders, ladders for bookshelves, chairs, portable lights, etc. were intact without any damage – and only one person was an old man sitting at a desk.
As a result, tension and excitement linger on the side of the mind, and cold reason lingers in the head.
hid this
“… Isn’t this your area of responsibility? I’d better go downstairs and see.”
“… … .”
“Yongsu.”
On the other hand, the look in the chairman’s eyes is clear, but if he wants to ask for help from others… You misplaced the number.
Fit!
Sure enough, the offensive is done all at once.
The first is a rain sword protruding from the marble floor, the second is an arrowhead flying from behind, and the third is a shadow blade extending diagonally from the right.
Therefore, I turn my head to evade Bido, who is aiming at my chin, defend the shadow blade with the dagger in my left hand, and twist the trajectory of the unknown arrowhead with [Beginner Psychokinesis].
Then suddenly.
“… Hee hee, hee hee.”
“… … .”
With a bleak laugh, a dark mass rose from behind the old man.
“Are you a melee group? The guy in the hallway just finished.”
“… … .”
“Are you going to fight me? If the old man goes to the goal, isn’t it troublesome for you and me? How about running away now? I-“
puck!
“… hehehehe, fine.”
After answering the nonsensical bullshit by throwing a dagger, he begins to summon a shadow in earnest.
The chairman swallowed his saliva at the trajectory of the rain that passed by the side of his head, but it was inevitable in order to convey an unspoken message.
That I would not care for the welfare of the hostages, and that there was no room for weakness.
[Intended goodwill: Stop the evil deeds of the shadow swallow.]
[Achievement condition: Chairman Kim Joo-hak’s innocence (peace without accidents).]
… No matter what the reality is, it was important to make people believe that.
And from that moment on, we enter the number fight phase.
Yoo Yeong-tae is at the top of the 5th grade.
Of course, the initiative to attack was given to the opponent, but I didn’t enter without thinking, so I countered it with [Beginner Psychokinesis], [Construction], and [Uniformity].
In other words, it is said that he read the attack signal by spreading his telekinesis evenly.
“die! Die miserably!”
Guess who isn’t an experienced scoundrel.
He mixes tricks such as books and pens with his dagger and [Shadow] skills. I wield a file or kick a chair to block all sorts of projectiles.
The library, which had been fine until now, becomes a mess in an instant, with scraps of paper and various debris flying around.
In succession, lower left- whip-shaped shadow aims at the lower body, raise your ankle to avoid it.
next.
The flying dagger and pen tip were dealt with by throwing a heavy book, and the awl-shaped shadow it pulled out of the main body was more direct-
until it breaks.
jump!
In response, right after he overlaid [Negative] on his left hand to disturb the opponent’s abilities, the attack suddenly stopped and a strange silence hung over him.
“… Who are you.”
“… … .”
“You broke my shadow. Blocked all attacks. Rating, what?”
“… … .”
“You ask what grade you are!”
Did you feel very bad?
I check the chatter that raises my voice and hand over a polite proposal.
“There is no need to go to Gol here. If you leave now, I won’t catch you.”
“… hehehehe, heehee.”
I guess I wasn’t polite enough for recommending it to the enemy.
Judging by the prominent thread veins on Yoo Young-tae’s forehead, and even the old man in the corner of the room opening his mouth as if looking at a madman, it seems that it wasn’t particularly effective.
If only I knew the address of the OSSAM group’s hometown, number 1 in the business world, I would have been able to hand over an alternative.
At first glance, the situation that seemed possible to reach an agreement is headed for catastrophe.
Puck, puck puck!
As soon as the ceiling lights and nightstands were blown out one after another by the shadow whip, complete darkness came to the study.
He spat out a warning in a high-pitched voice.
“Hee hee, hee hee. I’m going to play properly now. Be prepared.”
“yes.”
“… It really, really brutally kills.”
But even so, it’s not bad.
darkened interior.
Instead of two eyes, I observe the opponent’s movements by relying on the signal sent by [Elementary Psychokinesis].
Defense is important, but the key is to detect the main body’s approach.
The distance was less than 10 meters, so it was possible to run at any time, but until now, there was an escape method called [Shadow], so I didn’t actively step out.
On the other hand, from now on, Yoo Young-tae thinks he has a big advantage.
The moment he steps in, he intends to see the end.
* * *
Shadow Swallow and Yoo Young-tae could not shake their doubts even while pouring out one-sided attacks.
Even now.
Got the card!
I tried to activate [Shadow Line] three at a time, splitting the body into several pieces.
The damn kid twisted in the air to dodge two strings, and even cut the remaining one with his dagger.
It’s about adapting well to the darkness. Even if you have a sensory-related ability, it feels like your attacks can be read in detail… It was bizarre indeed.
‘Does this make sense?’
One-on-one combat is different from subjugation, so it requires a different experience.
Whiik!
One more time.
In response to the blade rising from the desk, the guy evaded it by turning the tip of his jaw just as much as he needed.
‘Do you read the intent of the attack? No, even if I read it, I can’t avoid it like that!’
yes.
Rather than simply noticing the timing of an attack, it felt like figuring out the pattern itself and being one step ahead.
From the beginning until now, it has always been like this.
[Instinctive avoidance] didn’t work for a person with a higher level of ability, so Yoo Young-tae’s eyes quickly filled with poison.
A thought that will come to an end soon.
This was because he misunderstood Lee Yong-soo’s ‘solid villain career’ as ‘natural talent’ and was filled with jealousy.
Like the dispatch of the SWAT team, time was quickly on the boy’s side.
Swoop-
In response, Yoo Young-tae filled his right hand with [Shadow Firecrackers].
This skill compresses and bursts multiple shadows… proximity awakening.
Just in time, the opponent also adjusted his stance and prepared for a strike, but as a 5th-level talent, the [Shadow]’s [Compression] was quickly finished, so the initiative of the offensive was still given to his hand.
and after a while
As if it was okay to hear footsteps, he rushed in without hesitation, and at the end, the current villain’s right hand was the former villain’s left fist-
So, I ran into a [reflux (flowing against)].
