151 – 151. Aegis of Iron Wall (1)
A black wave suddenly plunged from the sky to the ground.
Ahn Soo-ho landed on the ground one beat later than the haze spreading in all directions. Landing on the opposite side of Ryu Tae-hyeon with Xiao-Mei in the middle, he landed an additional blow to the knuckle-clad man next to him, Delta-5.
-Quaaang!!!
Compressed smoke hit his side with a shrieking roar. The man’s body is pushed out and rolls on the ground.
-Paat!
Immediately after that, Ahn Soo-ho jumped out through the smoke. He ran in a straight line toward Xiao-Mei and stood as if protecting him.
“Suho hyung?”

Leaving behind the fallen Yoo Seong-tae, Ryu Tae-hyeon ran to him. A puzzled expression crossed his face.
It was clear that the man in front of him was An Su-ho. He was wearing a mask, but he wasn’t unrecognizable.
But why?
“Why is your brother here?”
“This is what I want to say. Why do things that don’t matter? What kind of cop are you?”
Ahn Su-ho scolded him with sincerity. However, Ryu Tae-hyeon only jokingly responded.
“…… As you can see, the bad guys are installing it, so how can you stay still? Don’t you know that with great power comes great responsibility? Haven’t you seen Spa ○ The Man?”
Ryu Tae-hyeon shrugged his shoulders, trembling. Famous lines in the movie do not justify Ryu Tae-hyun’s remoteness. However, Taehyung Ryu didn’t care about that.
For him, it was all about the law and the rules. If they see injustice, they can’t stand it, and if there is a fight, they jump into it. That was the character Ryu Tae-hyun. And Ahn Su-ho knew his character very well.
‘It’s the main character’s optimized personality. Damn it.’
Thanks to that, he got involved in an unforgiving battle. He asks, wanting to take Ryu Tae-hyeon and leave as soon as possible.
“So what do you want to do now-“
– Wedge juice!
However, immediately afterward, the man Ahn Soo-ho attacked attacked with his knuckles. A fighter jet-like organ protruded from the man’s elbow. The nozzle shoots sparks and increases the speed of the fist.
But.
-f*ck!
It wasn’t Ahn Su-ho that returned immediately after, but his man’s chin. The man’s fist only cut through the air, and right after that, Ahn Su-ho’s fist pierced his body.
-Perbubububbuck!
The man’s body was torn apart by a series of blows like raging swords. Ahn Su-ho kicked the body, which was about to collapse, as hard as he could.
-Quaang!
The man who bumped into a street lamp groaned with his body bent as a giyeokja.
“…… So what do you want to do?”
Immediately after, Ahn Su-ho casually continued the question from before. Everyone in the room looked at him with surprised eyes.
‘Did Suho always be that strong?’
In particular, Ryu Tae-hyeon, who knew An Su-ho’s skills, was astonished.
The last time he fought alongside An Su-ho was during the Kang Ha-neul kidnapping incident about a week ago. It wasn’t weak even then, but it was never this bad.
‘I don’t think that man was that weak either… ….’
In Ryu Tae-hyeon’s eyes, he looked B-class even if he couldn’t be a man with knuckles. At least his man’s fists had that kind of momentum and speed. However, Ahn Soo-ho subdued such an opponent as if playing with it leisurely.
In other words, it wasn’t even a full display.
It wasn’t that Ryu Tae-hyeon couldn’t subdue a B-class superman like that. Even if he had been in the same situation, other than Ahn Su-ho, he would have had similar results.
However, that meant that the present Ahn Su-ho was on the same level as Ryu Tae-hyeon.
‘No, maybe more than me… ….’
A small smile appeared on his lips, which had been a surprised expression. In his heart, a warm desire for victory begins to rise little by little like a lingering fire.
“Ryu Tae-hyeon. What do you want to do?”
However, Ahn Soo-ho urged him to come to his senses. At that question, Ryu Tae-hyun looked down at Xiao-mei, who was sitting between the two of them.
“…… Who are you?”
Xiao-Mei looked up at the two of them anxiously. Then Taehyung Ryu said with a kind smile.
“A righteous college student passing by. And this older brother is a just passing guard.”
“………… Yes?”
“Sister. I don’t know what’s going on, but we’ll protect you until the police come. Brother. Are you fine?”
“With whom?”
The answer was not An Su-ho, but a muscular giant. He approached them, thrusting his fists forward. On the other side, a woman holding a knife, and two men who had been beaten by Ryu Tae-hyeon and Ahn Su-ho in the other two directions, took care of their injuries and entered combat readiness.
‘If I run away with Xiaomei, they will come after me. In the end, I have no choice but to fight.’
Ahn Suho looked around.
It was quiet all around. However, it was not completely devoid of people. Inside the building and around the corner, people who hid themselves were watching the fight with fearful, yet exciting eyes.
Some of them were calling the police on their cell phones. Ahn Soo-ho, who saw this, said to Ryu Tae-hyeon.
“Ryu Tae-hyeon. You are quietly guarding this woman. Don’t go ahead.”
“What are you talking about, brother? It’s 2v4, so of course I have to fight.”
“Listen to me, you foolish bastard. There are a lot of eyes that see in broad daylight, but do you want to be caught in a two-sided assault after fighting? If you don’t want to be locked up behind bars, listen to me and be considerate of yourself. Don’t step out.”
It was an advice based on common sense, but Ryu Tae-hyeon shook his head as if he couldn’t understand.
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden, hyung? My brother and I fought together a few times, but now…….”
“Things are different now from then. At that time, there was no one around at night. Now it’s in the middle of an amusement park in broad daylight. Can’t you see people are filming videos in every window of the building? If you see it, please cool your head. Self-defense is dangerous at the point of already beating that pistol man first.”
“Okay… ….”
Ryu Tae-hyeon had an expression that he wanted to refute. However, as Ahn Su-ho said, when he cooled down a bit, he was able to look at his situation calmly.
The situation was clear that Xiaomei was the victim and the dawning team were the villains, but that did not justify the private sanction of Ryu Tae-hyeon, who had no authority.
“…… Then what about my brother Aren’t you supposed to fight too?”
“I’m fine. The academy guards are second-class policing. The use of force for the protection of academy personnel and for public safety in emergency situations is excused.”
“Wow, that’s a bit envious. Shall I join the guard?”
“Guards protect the academy, they don’t install them everywhere, right?”
“Looking at you hyung, I think you’re right?”
Responding to a joke with a joke, the two faced each other with Xiaomei in the middle.
An impromptu situation right before the battle. Ahn Su-ho’s eyes glanced toward the south of the intersection, toward the temporary stage.
‘…… Aegis isn’t coming.’
Why doesn’t he join the same dawn? I don’t know why, but it was also fortunate in the misfortune. If the Aegis, the assassination team, did not intervene, there would be no way that he and Ryu Tae-hyeon would be defeated against those who looked like normal members.
“Anyway, I’m buying it. Eunsol doesn’t want you to get hurt.”
“…… He’s all good, but I’m worried about Tal.”
Ryu Tae-hyeon’s mouth emanated a relaxed smile, and right after that, enemies from all four directions rushed at him.
-Toohwaak!
Black smoke wrapped around Ahn Su-ho’s hands. His gaze is directed straight ahead.
“Whoop!”
A muscle giant who came close to me before I knew it. He was wielding a heavy arm. His fists, possessing the psychic power of ‘crystallization’, were covered with diamond-like ore.
-Whoa!
However, his fists only cut through the air. Ahn Soo-ho, who quickly burrowed into the giant’s arms, threw out a smoke-enveloped fist. Kang! And a ringing metallic sound.
“…… Flaw.”
The giant laughed softly. As if it was itchy for Ahn Su-ho’s fist.
However.
-Kagagakak!!
In the next moment, a small explosion erupted from Ahn Su-ho’s fist. The extremely compressed smoke turned into dozens of thorns and hacked the body of the giant. Transparent crystal fragments fly in all directions.
“heheheh?!”
The giant stepped back in panic. Ahn Su-ho stretched out his arm toward him. Right after that, a black turbid stream spread out and swallowed the giant’s body.
-Too Kwaaa!!
With a roar that shook the ground, the man’s body flew away. Ahn Su-ho immediately took off the smoke to minimize the damage to his surroundings. Even so, the giant’s body bounced off the ground and rolled over and over again along the stretched road.
-Paat!
Shortly after that, Ahn Su-ho jumped out to the side. The silver knuckles that writhed in front of my eyes.
However, two beats faster than that, An Su-ho’s kick hit the man’s stomach. Grabbing the man about to be pushed out, he grabs the man by the collar and pins the man’s body to the ground with all his might.
-Coooooung!!
“Kuhuk!”
The stone ground was cracked. The man who had already been hit several times by An Su-ho moaned in pain as if his back was being cut. Ahn Su-ho’s fist mercilessly thrust into the bridge of his nose.
-Taang! Taang! Taang!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Yoo Seong-tae’s pistol rang a shrieking gunshot. Three blunt lead bullets hit the side of Ryu Tae-hyeon, who had kicked the knife woman in the stomach. Noticing this, Ryu Tae-hyeon waved his hand.
-Pavabat!
-Hook!
“Keuk!”
Ryu Tae-hyeon groaned with his fists clenched. As he opened his fist, two dented bullets fell to the ground.
‘f*ck crazy. Catching the bullet with your hand?’
Yoo Seong-tae couldn’t help but be astonished. Dodging bullets by looking at the direction of the muzzle or the movement of the fingers, I don’t know, but catching flying bullets was a skill that even an S-class superman would succeed in.
However, only two bullets were captured. The remaining foot was properly inserted into Ryu Tae-hyeon’s side. The face of Yoo Seong-tae, who discovered this, turns bright for a very short time.
However.
“Wow. This doesn’t work.”
Taehyung Ryu pulled out the bullet stuck in his side with a sad face. There was a little blood on the tip of his head, but that was it.
Ordinary bullets could not pierce Ryu Tae-hyeon’s muscles, which were tightly woven like metal fibers. Yoo Seong-tae, horrified by this, took out a knife from his bosom with a half-tired expression.
– Woo woo woo woo!!!
When I pressed the button, the blade of the knife began to vibrate violently. An ultrasonic knife that cuts the sonic blade for the Great Monster.
“aaa!!!”
With an unsightly spirit, Yoo Seong-tae swung the knife. Contrary to the frightened expression, the sharp trajectory was certainly not at the level of an ordinary bully in the neighborhood.
However, it was not at the level of confronting Ryu Tae-hyun.
-Teouk!
Ryu Tae-hyeon snatched Yoo Seong-tae’s wrist. As he tightened his grip, a crackling sound echoed from his wrist.
A look of pain on Yoo Seong-tae’s face. The pain in his wrist caused him to miss the knife…… The moment I thought that, I grabbed the falling knife with my other hand. And then the second stab.
-f*ck!
But one beat faster than that, Taehyung Ryu kicked him in the stomach. Like the knife girl who ran into it a while ago, Yoo Seong-tae’s body was bent into a fighter and flew several meters.
“What the hell is this…….”
In the meantime, Xiao-Mei couldn’t even close her mouth and was in awe.
Mysterious enemies suddenly appeared. And a mysterious ally who suddenly appeared.
It was already a series of surprises in itself, but what was even more surprising was the skills of the two. Because Xiaomei was also a superhuman, she was able to estimate the strength of her enemies to some extent. In her eyes, her Dawning Delta team members were by no means easygoing people.
However, the two men in front of me, one of them revealed that the two men who were just passing by, a college student and a security guard, were easily cooking up such enemies. Just like in a martial arts movie, Go Soo shows off his incompetence against a barrister.
In fact, there was a difference between the two people and the members of the Dawning.
Ryu Tae-hyeon is the No. 1 In the freshman year rankings at the Green House and a strong player among all students. Although it is thanks to Kang Ha-neul’s skill, Ahn Su-ho has a body that fought against Wilhelm, the overrank dungeon boss, along with S-class superhumans. Neither of them was an adversary that could be dealt with at the level of an ordinary member of the Dawning Corps.
At the level of the general staff, that is.
-Taat!
At that time, the battle went into a lull for a while. Delta team leader Kim Joo-yeon, who appeared between the buildings, quickly rushed. She swung the knives she held in both hands at Ryu Tae-hyeon.
-Pabababababababat!
Speed unmatched by previous enemies.
Ryu Tae-hyun, who did not want to attack more than necessary because of Ahn Su-ho’s words, tried to brush off all those attacks. However, a look of embarrassment crossed his face at the sharper trajectory than expected.
Blood Shoot! Red blood gushed from his arm with a scream.
“Ryu Tae-hyeon!”
Ahn Su-ho was about to step in, but Kim Joo-yeon kicked the ground and stepped back greatly.
“Taehyun, you’re fine-“
Are you okay? Ahn Soo-ho, who was about to ask that question, was speechless. Ryu Tae-hyeon had several knife wounds on both arms.
From nob le mt l dot com
Looking down at his arm dripping with red blood, Ryu Tae-hyeon spoke in a calm voice.
“Brother. You’re going to die if you make a mistake against that woman?”
If I don’t fight with all my might, with the determination to kill at all, this side might be defeated.
Ryu Tae-hyeon measured the skill of the enemy in front of him with only a very short battle. However, Ahn Su-ho could not readily nod his head at his words. Ryu Tae-hyun’s words mean that the woman in front of him has the same strength as him.
‘There’s no way I can be an opponent to Ryu Tae-hyeon unless I’m at the level of an officer of the Ryeo-ryung-dan… ….’
In that case, it’s probably an executive level. Even if he suspected that, Ahn Su-ho had no way of knowing. I read the original content dozens of times and knew everything, but that didn’t mean I knew the appearance of the characters in the text.
“…… Leader! These guys are not normal! One said Jin-Seok made a clay pot, and one said he caught a flying bullet!”
“I know. Because I’ve seen it all.”
At Yoo Seong-tae’s words, Kim Joo-yeon swung her knife around and took a stance. She has tension in her eyes.
‘I can see it better when I look closer. Both of them are at least A-class superhuman.’
Kim Joo-yeon’s psychic power ‘Search’ was an ability whose application was infinite. If she focused her detection target on a person in front of her eyes, for example, as before, she could predict not only his strengths and weaknesses, but also his habits of movement and his next attack. That was the reason she was able to push Ryu Tae-hyeon for a moment.
However, even that was not a method that could be used for a long time. Even less, not one person, but two people. In addition, in her view, Ahn Su-ho’s strength was also at a level that was in no way inferior to Ryu Tae-hyun.
Kim Joo-yeon chewed her lips and checked the condition of her subordinates.
‘Min-woo and Su-ah are stretched out, and Seong-tae doesn’t look normal. Is Jin-seok the only one who is fine? Damn…….’
None of her subordinates were perfectly fine. Only the man called Jinseok was slightly injured, but even he had the crystals covering his body shattered from Ahn Soo-ho’s attack.
‘Are you out of luck? I just had to blackmail a Chinese broker and get the goods, but why did those guys come out? Besides, why is this Aegis still not coming? It’s only a few hundred meters away. And besides, the cops will be coming soon. sh*t, the branch manager said that this mission must succeed unconditionally. f*ck. f*ck. f*ck…… !’
Kim Joo-yeon bites her molars in a situation where she can’t see.
No matter what happened today, she had to take her primordial silver from Xiao Mei. But her path was nowhere to be seen.
Even if she attacked the rest of her men and the two men in front of her, she would never be able to win. It would be impossible to finish the job before the police show up.
‘…… Damn it.’
Retreat too. However, Kim Joo-yeon was in a dilemma where she was not allowed to move forward, and her head was spinning.
It was then.
-Where you go!!
Ryu Tae-hyeon reacted quickly to the air-splitting air. He grabbed Ahn Soo-ho’s arm and pulled him as hard as he could. Immediately after, something translucent pierced the skin of the two as if it were an arrow.
-Toohwaak!
“Keuugh!”
“Ugh.”
The two of them had deep cuts on their bodies. Ahn Soo-ho is on his left shoulder. Ryu Tae-hyun on his right forearm. Ahn Soo-ho was taken aback by the wound that seemed to have been cut by a sharp knife, but Ryu Tae-hyun, realizing where the attack came from, turned his head.
-Dubuck. Tboob. Tboob.
That direction was the direction Ryu Tae-hyeon came from a while ago. It was also the direction of Miya’s stage. A brown-haired westerner was walking from that direction, exhaling bloody flesh.
“Turn it off… …. Ugh…….”
In one hand was a man whose face was disfigured beyond recognition. It was Delta-6 who went to Aegis a while ago to ask for help.
“………… Hey. You f*cking f*cking generals. f*ck you didn’t listen to the last song because you were doing sh*t.”
Contrary to his looks, he speaks fluent Korean. Maybe that’s why the anger in the words felt more desperate. Despite this, Kim Joo-yeon’s face turned bright. On the other hand, Ryu Tae-hyeon and Ahn Su-ho’s expressions turned pale.
“…… Taehyung Ryu.”
Ahn Su-ho called him quietly. At the same time, only the talisman in his hand emitted a fierce light.
“Forget what I just said. We have to fight with all our might from now on.”
He said, clenching his fists with a tense face.
