132 – All-out War (4)
“Hmm?”
Kang Ha-neul, who was moving behind the spade, tilts his head for a moment and listens to the sound that started coming from afar.
“I feel like I’m hearing a scream from somewhere…”
“Go, Kang Ha-neul.”
“…Huh?”
Just when he was about to walk towards him, Ariel suddenly backed away from him and jumped out, blocking his path.
“…Ah, earlier. What were you doing in the bedroom?”
“What?”
“It sounded similar to what I heard a few days ago.”

At her sudden question, cold sweat begins to trickle down from Kang Ha-neul’s forehead.
“Looks like the volume of the video Pandora was playing was too high…”
“Were you with Pandora? They seem to be very close. I heard they’ve been hanging out together lately…”
“Ugh… I’m kind of like that…”
Soon, as he quietly averted his gaze to the side and made an excuse, Pandora quietly walked forward from behind and joined their conversation.
＞ What can I do if we are friends?
“…Pandora?”
＞ What can you do?
At her sudden aggressive reaction, Blwigi suddenly becomes cold.
“Why are you acting like this all of a sudden…?”
＞ I have a bad feeling… If I’m with this guy, it feels like there’s a fox around me looking for my liver for 24 hours…
“Are you speaking a little harshly?”
＞ He’s a villain, so what’s the deal? Hey, shut up before you get scolded by this girl.
In such a situation, Pandora eagerly expresses her opinion to Kang Ha-neul, but flinches slightly at Ariel’s cold question and sends a message.
– Rattling…
“…Yes.”
＞ ?
She trembled after sending her message, but surprisingly, when Ariel obediently bowed her head and handed her an apology, a question mark appeared on her face. .
＞ I’ll take care of it this time.
＞ Ah, be careful from now on!
But that only lasted for a moment, and then Pandora shrugged her shoulders and continued chatting.
“I understand…”
Ariel, who watched with narrowed eyes the traces of her black shadow that had begun to run wild in the distance, without even paying attention to her, soon asked her question in a quiet whisper.
“But there’s one thing I’m curious about…”
＞ What, what is it? I will let this sister answer from the best of her knowledge.
“How old are you?”
Upon hearing that question, Pandora began to flinch again and make a puzzled expression.
＞ Well, why are you curious about that?
“…You look quite young to be my sister. At first glance, you look younger than me.”
Ariel’s cold gaze, which was quietly staring at her, soon turned to her river, Sky.
“I guess Kang Ha-neul likes children…”
“Well, what is that…”
＞ Look, I am not a child!! Refrain from saying such rude things!
When Kang Ha-neul looked at Pandora with a sinking heart at that sharp question, Pandora urgently waved her hand and began to explain.
＞ Even if you look at it this way, it means that you are over the legal age of adulthood where your artificial island resident registration certificate appears!
＞ That’s why academy students look like kids.
“Ah, I see…”
＞ Well, I just didn’t grow taller because I played too many games at night. So, don’t overdo it and go to bed early.
“…Thank you for the advice.”
Ariel was about to ignore that answer and take a step forward again.
＞ Dear.
＞ I guess you didn’t understand what I said very well.
“Yes?”
However, Pandora grabbed Ariel’s shoulder and tapped her keyboard with a cold expression on her face that made it hard to believe it was her own.
＞ Stop eavesdropping at night.
“……..”
＞ It’s all Tina.
Frightening lethality began to emanate from the two girls immediately after that.
“hehehehe… I’m living…”
“…Aren’t you going to follow me there?”
Spade took a deep breath, smiling at the concept of death at the vast amount of life, while the leader began muttering in an irritated voice as his movement was delayed.
“I’m wasting precious time because of you guys. Why are you doing anything if you don’t follow me?”
– Grrr to! That’s right…!
“…Ugh.”
It was at the very next moment that strange sounds started coming from right in front of me.
“Tsk, I knew it would be like this…”
Spade looked with a frown at the giant-like form created by artificially combining a considerable number of monsters.
“…Do we have to go this far?”
– What, what?
“No matter how much it takes to gain trust…”
As the monster, which no matter who sees it, would be given at least a level 1 danger rating, begins to stare down at him, Spade begins to grumble with tired eyes.
– Gooooo!!!!!
“…I wonder if this is too much.”
Immediately after that, the monster opened its mouth and began to let out a horrifying scream.
– Slurp…
“Everyone get behind me. There’s no one here with as much skill as me, so provide rear support…”
It was at that moment that Spade, who had been staring at the monster with a sigh, untied the string of the yoyo he was holding and entered into a fighting stance.
– Blame it…!
“……!?”
Ariel, who was right next to her, jumped at the demonic beast that appeared in front of her before anyone could stop her.
“Now, wait a minute…”
Spade, who was looking at this with a puzzled expression, tried to snatch Ariel again by quickly throwing his yoyo.
“…Sigh.”
At a speed several times faster than that, Ariel reached right in front of the demon beast in an instant and quietly took a deep breath and raised her fist.
– It’s a shame…..!
And from that point on, her red sparks began to cover the sky of the slums, extending beyond her arms and extending in all directions around her.
“”……..””
The next moment, not only Kang Ha-neul’s group, but also the vagabonds who had been instigated by someone, and even the demonic beasts that dominated the streets were all focused on one place.
– Kugwagwagwagwanggwang!!!
Ariel’s punch stretched forward with a loud noise.
– Grrr…..
Before I had time to do anything, the monster with a huge hole in its face began to stumble and fall backwards.
– Kwajijijijik…!!
Eventually, he fell down, raising a terrifying cloud of dust, and fell limply with his arms outstretched.
“You said you defeated a level 1 demon beast with one blow…?”
“There are many people losing their homes today…”
＞ Since those are illegal buildings over there, it’s probably okay, right?
Kang Ha-neul and his companions, who were staring blankly at that scene, each began to express their thoughts.
“It was quite a bit of damage, but no one died… It’s sad…”
＞ No, what if I feel sad about that? Aren’t we usually supposed to be happy when people don’t die?
“…Isn’t death a good thing?”
＞ I think you will have to complete ideological education someday.
“As for ideological education, I already received it in the lab. It was so boring that I already forgot all about it…”
＞ Ugh, enough about the lab. I feel like I’m already getting PTSD…
In the meantime, Pandora, who had started a comic talk, and Ariel briefly glanced at the concept of death, then began to take a deep breath while caressing her arm, which had become so hot as to burn.
“This is the first time I’ve sent one in a single blow… I guess aiming for the face was the right answer…”
She muttered as if she was familiar with this situation, but soon began to direct her gaze towards her companions.
“Let’s go. Like you said, we don’t have time…”
But the next moment, she looked dumbfounded.
“…..Ah?”
“”……..?””
The complexions of Kang Ha-neul and her group, who looked around with question marks on her face, soon darkened due to her bewildered appearance.
“…Trauma, where has it gone?”
“Wow… That’s strange. hahahaha…”
＞ Kang Ha-neul…? Where are you going…?
Even though they were part of ‘Kang Ha-neul’s group’, it was because Kang Ha-neul was no longer visible.
“This is my first time…”
Ariel watched the absurd scene blankly, then started muttering while holding her throbbing head.
“Why are there so many variables this time…”
Turning her gaze away from her noisy companions, she let out a deep sigh and began to raise her hero power again.
“…Is it because of that shadow?”
The black smoke that I thought had succeeded in diverting attention from Kang Ha-neul just now was billowing even further in the distance.
.
.
.
.
.
“…Cough, cluck.”
Meanwhile, at that time. A little distance away from the group.
“What happened that made the dust cloud…”
Kang Ha-neul, who lost his balance and fell to the floor for a moment due to the impact of the giant demon beast falling, coughed dryly and stood up.
“…Huh?”
And at that point, Kang Ha-neul realizes that something is strange.
“Why did I come here alone…?”
For some reason, he secretly walked here alone without his companions accompanying him, and cold sweat began to drip from his forehead.
“…Surely, it’s an enemy attack?”
Soon, Kang Ha-neul begins to lower his posture and examine the situation, blaming his own unstable abilities.
“If only my abilities were intact, this wouldn’t have happened…”
His muttering suddenly cuts off.
“……..”
This was because in the distance, a scene unfolded that made him doubt his eyes.
“Ugh, ugh… Ah…”
“…Himari?”
His ex-girlfriend, caught in the shadows, was crying and struggling, tied to the railing on the roof of the building in front of her.
