98. Beginning of subjugation
98.
The back alley gate was located not far from the collapsed NAVI.
A gate that hides a huge gate as a building between alleys that are difficult for ordinary people to access.
If we enter here, the Chimera will be waiting for us.
Nayuna looked at the gate and spoke in a tone of surprise.
“I thought there was a gate like this in the alley..?”
“..more than 20 years have passed. Originally, this gate was not this big. As the beast grew, it grew in size.”
“Then the chairman is saying that he knew that Na Jin-woo’s son hid the gate?”
Chairman Na Sang-cheol, who is consistent in silence.
Na Jin-myung looked uncomfortable and reached out towards the gate.
“…the president did not respond. The seeds of anxiety had to be uprooted.”
“… ”
Na Yuna looked at Ra Jinmyeong, who was sarcastic, as if displeased.
What he said was true, but the person who brought it up was Jinmyung Ra.
It was quite uncomfortable to hear.
After that, Na Jin-myung, Na Yuna, and Na Sang-cheol all disappeared inside the gate.
Yoo Ha-yeon grabbed my sleeve and whispered.
“Han Si-jun, what do you think of that family?”
“Ummm..”
… This is the end of the Na family.
It’s probably.
“..well, it will go as it goes.”
“Is that so..”
How to proceed according to your destiny.
The moment it was confirmed that NAVI’s building had already been demolished and that a member of the family had committed an illegal act.
It was clear that the end was in contact with the cliff.
“Now let’s go in.”
“okay..”
So we followed their family and walked into the gate.
***
Back street.
It is a place where there is a difference in rank as you go up the stairs.
Upon entering the gate, the stairs to the lowest floor that unfolded before our eyes were a scene of violence.
“Kill all these bastards..!!”
“No.. no money..! Only life.. save me..!”
Abigail.
There, people in expensive luxury clothes and people in ruffled clothes gathered in one place and had a fight.
“What the hell is this…”
Na Yuna, who saw the fierce battle for life for the first time, stood there as if she had lost her mind.
Na Sang-cheol began to explain this situation to us.
“..the appearance of the chimera caused the whole hierarchy to collapse. This place is similar to reality, but the walls regarding class are too high, so it must have been a fight like this.”
Na Sang-cheol captured the scene of such a battlefield with his two eyes.
Look at that for a while.
He walked towards the stairs that stretched upwards.
“After all, they are the people who cannot go back because they have committed a crime in society. They’re addicted to drugs, so hurry up.”
“..Yes, Chairman.”
Exactly.
The eyes of the people fighting were not sane.
A person biting someone’s arm with their teeth with their eyes open.
A person crouching in a corner.
A person dancing in the middle of a fight.
Those who were not all sane were certain.
‘..If you come to your senses, you probably went out to the gate in front of you.’
But they are already addicted to the pleasures of the back alleys.
First, we prioritized dealing with chimeras,
I followed Na Sang-cheol up the stairs.
Tub.
Tub..
The number of steps as high as 108 steps.
We were still awake, so we were able to reach the top floor of the stairs without getting too tired.
“Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh…”
“Han Si-joon, are you okay..?”
Except for me, of course.
It was a moment when I hated the stat of stamina 2 for some reason.
There was one more person with a bad expression as much as me, gasping for breath with a tired look.
‘..Yuna Na.’
It was this place that brought her back to V. AGE.
This gaze looking down from a high place.
I look down at the people living with the filth from below in the gilded palace.
And what kind of people she has lived with.
They think deeply about it and fall into a swamp of deep self-loathing.
The whole family died in the incident.
Because there was no place to lean on.
Deeper into the swamp.
‘..If it goes like the original, big things will happen.’
Nayuna’s blackening route.
I want to prevent it,
So that Nayuna could not think deeply,
Tapped her shoulder.
“Nayuna. What are you doing. I will go forward.”
Don’t look back
I turned to my voice with such a meaning and walked towards the palace.
Then, as if regretful, he looked back once more and said:
“..Yes, let’s go ahead.”
If you look back, you will fall into that deep swamp.
How much did Nayuna know about it?
She immediately walked towards the palace where the Chimera was waiting.
‘It never makes the original flow..’
I also entered with that thought.
***
The halls of the palace, painted in expensive gold.
There were a lot of people lying on the wall, bleeding and falling on the wall that was shining with gold.
‘The hounds of the back alleys.’
They seem to have lost their lives without causing any major damage to the chimera.
The chimeras were the ones who tormented them, so they seemed to take their lives quickly.
-…I’m here. You guys were late, and you got rid of a few flies. does it matter?
Are you referring to the hounds scattered around you as flies?
To be honest, it wasn’t wrong.
Hounds were just a group that got power by rubbing Na Jin-woo’s hands.
Even though the Awoken were mixed, they were all criminals outside, so
I didn’t even have any sympathy.
“The meeting.. the president..?”
At that moment, Na Sang-cheol stepped forward.
He approached the Chimera and said,
“..Did you say revenge? Mage.”
-revenge. just revenge. I have been harmed by humans, so I also harm them. Isn’t it fair
“..is it.”
The magician didn’t seem to have any intention of backing down at all.
He only has the will to kill humans as much as he suffered.
“I can’t help it..”
Na Sang-cheol looked back and said to me.
“As you can see, now NAVI will be on the road to destruction.”
“The meeting.. Chairman..! What is that…!”
“It is not wrong. my son NAVI, who has lost power, will be attacked by various attacks and will no longer be able to survive. This is not a prediction, it is a reality.”
“… ”
Na Jin Myung bows her head.
Na Sang-cheol continued to speak.
“so. request.”
“..what?”
“After this fight, my granddaughter. It seems that the granddaughter who didn’t open her heart to her parents is just as open to you.”
..is it.
Apparently, the intense time I spent at the escape room cafe worked.
Did Na Yuna’s grandfather sense his own death?
He was asking me to follow Nayuna.
“I can do it on my own.”
“As requested. I will take responsibility for your daughter.”
“..Han Si-Jun?”
Somehow, Nayuna rolled over.
Is it a dog benefit?
The moment you want something good.
The chimera, who had run out of patience, exclaimed.
-Are you thinking about the next time you beat me..!! You guys will never defeat me..! You stupid people..!!
A strong wind blows forward.
The roar was mixed with magical power, making it difficult to breathe.
“..don’t like me, han sijun. If you make a mistake, you will die here.”
“Isn’t it okay because you’re going to protect me?”
“… It might be.”
The reason I came here is because of Yoo Ha-yeon’s existence.
With Na Sang-cheol, who was evaluated as an S-class hero, and Yoo Ha-yeon, a crazy talented person, he would be able to subdue Chimera.
I don’t believe in myself,
I trusted my childhood friend Yoo Ha-yeon.
“..not start. Come on, please support me from behind.”
Na Sang-cheol runs forward.
The first NAVI started with a fist.
Na Sang-cheol, the protagonist of the revival, is old,
It was showing great movement.
– You’re just running away like a mouse..! Just like the owner of this palace…!
“… That’s right.”
A sword technique that draws an arc while drawing a sword from his waist.
🥺🥺-!
-… !
A chimera whose skin was damaged by that sword.
Although Na Sang-cheol was of old age, he had enough skills to injure the body of an S-class beast.
Because I couldn’t participate in such a high-level fight,
I decided to do what I could do well.
“Nayuna. Turn to the side and get the Chimera’s attention. Watch out for the chimera’s snake-like tail.”
“… ”
Nod.
Nayuna nodded and ran straight away.
She can’t damage the Chimera with her skills.
Based on her high agility, she would do it for one person if she caught the gaze of a chimera.
“And there, uncle.”
“..My name is Na Jin.”
“Yes, uncle, focus on the Chimera’s legs and attack.”
“… ”
Na Jin-myung looks like he doesn’t like it.
Are you unwilling to listen to my orders?
He frowned and stepped forward.
“..I will take care of it.”
“Eh..”
That’s why you’ll get hurt enough to die in this battle.
So Jinmyung Ra ran to Chimera without listening to my order.
“That person is going to die early. Right, Si-Jun Han?”
“Perhaps he will die sooner than me.”
This is the truth, not empty words.
Na Jin-myung, who seems to die earlier than me, whose lifespan is short.
I decided to inform Yoo Ha-yeon, who had a light conversation, how to fight.
“And Yoo Ha-yeon.”
“yes?”
“You do what you want.”
Yoo Ha-yeon stepped forward as if waiting for those words.
“Have you dared attack Han Si-jun before? That lion’s head… he’s dead…”
With those words left, she ran towards the Chimera.
‘It’s too late..’
Looking at my unchanging childhood friend,
I cheered as I watched my comrades standing behind me and fighting alone.
