152 – 152. Aegis of Iron Wall (2)
In juvenile cartoons or creations borrowed from juvenile cartoon clichés, there are usually armed groups with clearly defined military ranks among the members. And that was also true of , But in this case, the Dawn Assassination Team was the result of such a cliché.
The Dawn Assassination Team.
The armed group, made up of subordinates under the direct control of the leader, consisted of a total of 10 people, and was given a rank from 1 to 10 as it was natural. And at this moment, the Aegis that appeared in front of Ahn Su-ho ranked 6th among them.
6Th place.
A ranking that can never be called high. If it is divided into top and bottom, it belongs to the bottom, and even if it is divided into top, middle and bottom, it is an ambiguous ranking that spans the middle with a chin-up, but it is not the bottom at all.
However, that was only a relative ranking, and the enemy Aegis was by no means an easy opponent. Immediately in the original work, there was a mention that more than half of the assassination team were at the S-class level, which meant that at least the Aegis would be at the S-class level anyway, and it was said that it was stronger than Ryu Tae-hyun, who is still at the top of the A-class at the moment.
And maybe even more than Ahn Soo-ho.
“Ryu Tae-hyeon. Forget what I said a moment ago. We have to fight with all our might from now on.”
Ahn Soo-ho’s calm voice made Ryu Tae-hyeon nervous. No, even if it hadn’t been for his words, he would have been as nervous as he is now. Because the momentum radiating from the suddenly appeared Aegis was unusual.
“Aegis…… !”
At his appearance, Jooyeon Kim’s face turned bright. No matter how long the two people in front of me flew, I couldn’t imagine that they would defeat the Aegis, a member of the Assassination Team.
However.
-f*ck!
“Kuhup?!”
Approaching Kim Joo-yeon, Aegis suddenly punched her in the abdomen. At the unexpected blow, Kim Joo-yeon groaned as she grabbed her stomach.
I didn’t mean it, but I felt the pain nonetheless.
“You and Jasik are like that. When did you say you saw it? Do you think I’m on the same level as you generals?”
Aegis threw Kim Joo-yeon’s men who had become bloody. Kim Joo-yeon, who read the expression of anger on his face, gave up and went in.
“Aegis ‘sir’… …. Could you please help us-“
“I am very proud of it. How many of you guys are there, and is it really that hard to steal one thing from a C-class superman?”
“…… An intruder intervenes. The two of them are both A-level or better.”
“Really? Even for that kind of thing, you couldn’t dodge one of my attacks properly.”
Deep cuts on the bodies of Ahn Su-ho and Ryu Tae-hyeon. Aigis laughed at the dripping blood. In the next moment, 12 translucent hexagons floated up behind him.
“That… ….”
“…… ‘Reflection field’. It’s his superpower. It floats freely in the air, deflects all attacks, and can use its sharp edges like blades. Literally, it is the ability to unite both offense and defense.”
Ahn Su-ho explained what he knew about Aegis’ ability. The explanation of how he knows can be done later. It was because of the judgment that it would be dangerous if he did not explain his abilities now.
“Brother? How did my brother…….”
Ryu Tae-hyeon looked back at Ahn Su-ho with surprised eyes. And it was the same with Aegis. Seeing a man he had never seen in his life explain in detail about his psychic powers, a puzzled expression appeared on his face that was full of annoyance.
“…… What are you?”
Ahn Soo-ho responded with a fishy laugh to that menacing question. Fain! Along with that sound, the breaths of the Talisman and Morning Star shone in his hands.
“Ryu Tae-hyeon. That man’s ability is superlative to you. So I’ll take that man. While I hold out, you can take care of that woman and the other enemies and join me.”
“… ….”
Ryu Tae-hyeon looked at Ahn Su-ho with worried eyes.
Ryu Tae-hyun was able to instinctively recognize the strength of the enemy with his beastly sixth sense. From his point of view, Aegis was a formidable opponent, an opponent that even he himself could never guarantee victory.
But An Su-ho will deal with such an enemy? Concerns were ahead of the moment, but Ryu Tae-hyun decided to trust An Su-ho. He nods his head with a hard face.
“I will believe you.”
“Don’t believe me, join me now. I might not be able to win alone.”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Aegis laughed in a funny way.
‘Who is in charge of whom? It’s funny and embarrassing.’
He glanced at Jooyeon Kim, and she lowered her stance with her knife in front. Yoo Seong-tae also took care of his sick body and went into battle. On the other side, a muscular giant, Jin-seok, was waiting, estimating the timing of the rush.
“Then… ….”
-Sereung.
Following Aegis’ gesture, twelve reflective fields circled around him. The pupils that radiate murderous intent were fixed on Ahn Su-ho.
“…… Where can I see that skill?”
-Pain!
In the next moment, the Aegis and the members of the Dawning Corps rushed in unison.
-Kiiiiing!!
At the same time, only Ryu Tae-hyeon and Ahn Su-ho, two talismans began to emit a brilliant blue light. Among them, it was Ahn Soo-ho who moved first. A black turbid stream spewed out of his outstretched right arm like a tidal wave.
-Tuhwaaa!!!!!
A wall of smoke fired at supersonic speeds. Aegis attempted a head-on breakthrough with 12 reflection fields at the fore. However, the smoke without a fixed form penetrated the cracks in the reflection field and hacked his body to pieces.
-Blood Shoot! Psit!
The wind that grazed my skin left a small scratch.
‘Indeed. It’s hard to block all of these wide-area attacks with the Reflection Field. Even if the attack is reflected, the smoke that gathers is entangled and it does not reach him. It’s definitely a nuisance attack from my point of view.’
But. A fishy smile appeared on Aegis’ lips at that thought.
“It’s just that the range is wide, but it’s weak!”
He sprinted with the reflection field focused on the front. I didn’t care about the scratches from the attack that escaped through the gap.
-Tuhwaahak!!
Soon he cut through the smoke and arrived in front of Ahn Soo-ho. As he swung his arm, six hexagonal fields swung at An Su-ho like sharp blades.
Ahn Su-ho hurriedly pulled himself out. Knowing this would happen, I had just activated the morning star’s breath in advance. His agility is currently A+. When the acceleration of the breath of the morning star was added to it, the speed was like a gale crossing the valley. The reflective field cuts through the empty space without any fuss.
“Ha!”
But he wasn’t the only one who was able to speed up the wind with his bare body. The Aegis, which overlapped the reflection field on the soles of his feet, rushed towards An Su-ho as if it was bounced off with the repulsive force.
“Sheesh!”
Ahn Su-ho hurriedly swung his arm. Dozens of lumps of smoke, compressed to the size of his fingers, flew at Aegis.
-Tudder and more and more and more!
However, all of those attacks were blocked by the reflective field. Several of the black bullets reflected in all directions grazed An Su-ho’s body. While he hesitated due to my attack, Aegis, who had come close to him, spun around his body and kicked out.
-Tuong!
Heterogeneous impact sound. The reflective field around his feet redirected even the reaction that should have been directed at Aegis to Ahn Soo-ho. The power of the resulting kick is twice the original.
“Keuugh!”
I managed to guard with my arm, but the heavy impact was transmitted to my bones. The defensive coat protection element on the arm is pulverized and scattered with a single blow.
– Wedge love liquid! Blood shot!
However, it wasn’t just that he was being treated as An Su-ho. A sharp blade of smoke, curved like a tentacle, attacked the Aegis from a blind spot. He noticed it right before and avoided it, but a deep stab wound was drawn on his shoulder. A smile appeared on Aegis’ lips.
“You’re doing quite well, yes!”
In the next moment, 12 reflective fields flew all at once, aiming for Ahn Soo-ho. Ahn Soo-ho chews his lips.
-Pabababababat!
Meanwhile, Ryu Tae-hyeon was fighting 3 to 1 while protecting Xiao-Mei. In the front, Kim Joo-yeon wielding a double-handed knife. In the back, Jin-seok wields a fist made of crystal. And even Yoo Seong-tae circling around it and aiming for a gap.
However, those three were unable to break through Ryu Tae-hyeon’s sincere defense.
-Kiiiiing!
The enormous amount of mana flowed from the talisman strengthened his body to the limit. Even Kim Joo-yeon’s knife couldn’t properly cut through his skin. His body was literally an iron castle itself.
– Whirly Ririk!
Kim Joo-yeon’s splendid knife skills. The chaotically drawn knife trail hacked through Ryu Tae-hyeon’s body. But nothing led to slander.
The fist of Ryu Tae-hyeon, who gave up his flesh, saying he would respond to any knife that was swung, struck Kim Joo-yeon’s side to get the bone.
-Tooung!
“Keah!”
“Leader!”
Jin-seok stepped out as if to guard the gap. Ryu Tae-hyeon met his head-on charge with his body covered in hard crystals.
-Quaaang!!
With a violent sound, the bodies of the two stood still. However, in the next moment, cracks began to appear all over Jin-seok’s body, and half of the crystals covering his body were shattered. His combo hits like a storm on his exposed bare skin.
“Quaaa!!”
Jin-seok fell to his knees at the shock of breaking all the bones in his body. However, as if he would not give up, he grabbed Ryu Tae-hyun’s legs with both hands. At that moment, Kim Joo-yeon and Yoo Seong-tae, who had been injured, rushed at him from both sides.
‘The man’s side is slow and exploded. It won’t be too late if I put things in order before responding to the woman.’
Ryu Tae-hyeon, who made a quick decision at that moment, punched out his fist.
However.
-Tuong!
A blue reflective field blocked his fist. Exactly one second later, with a heavy echo, his fist bounced in the opposite direction. A tingling pain felt at the same time.
“Keugh… !”
While fighting Ahn Soo-ho, Aegis secretly diverted one of his reflection fields towards Ryu Tae-hyeon, and the effect was obvious. Ryu Tae-hyeon’s fist, which had his own power back, cracked.
-Hook! Pooh!
A beat later, Kim Joo-yeon and Yoo Seong-tae, who rushed in from both sides, put knives in his body.
“Ryu Taehyun!!”
Ahn Su-ho exclaimed in surprise. At the same time.
-Teouk. Chin.
Ryu Tae-hyeon’s thick grip grabbed the wrists of the two men.
“…… Got it.”
He pulled the knife through his wrist with force. Ignoring the blood on the blade, he smashed the bodies of the two as hard as he could. Then, he kicks Jin-seok’s chin, which was holding onto his leg, with his knee.
“Big… ….”
Ryu Tae-hyeon looked down at his side, which was stained red and blue. His left flank and right back. Each stab wound was not very deep. As he tightened his muscles, his blood vessels constricted and his bleeding lessened slightly.
‘I’m glad. I guess the wound isn’t that bad. But his fist…….’
Ahn Soo-ho looked at Ryu Tae-hyeon’s fists were swollen. Since he took his own power, it was natural in a way.
‘Damn it. Because I couldn’t push him…….’
It was not Suho Ahn’s fault that happened just a moment ago. It was close to impossible to deal with Aegis, the 6th place in the assassination team, and at the same time bind all 12 freely controlled reflection fields.
However, Ahn Su-ho chewed his lips carefully because of the feeling of guilt. Twelve blades flew at him again from all directions. A bundle of sharp smoke stretched from both hands of Ahn Su-ho, and a smile formed on Aegis’ lips.
‘Stupid guy. Called the reflective field. Even if I try to hit it, it just bounces off-‘
-The more the more the more the more the more!
However, the next moment, the 12 reflection fields were repulsed helplessly by the black blades. Aegis is visibly agitated.
‘If reflection is applied to the blade, as soon as it touches my body, it will be pushed back by the repulsive force. So, make sure to cancel the reflection right before the attack hits! It’s from the original, but I had a hard time figuring out the exact timing!’
A gap that is only revealed when using the field for attack. Ahn Soo-ho accurately attacked the gap he had read in the original work. After that, as the attack bounced back several times, Aegis also noticed it.
‘This guy! You noticed! A gap in my reflection field! But how in just that short amount of time?’
None of those who had ever fought him realized that gap so quickly. It was only natural that Aegis was visibly agitated.
However, that was only for a while. Aegis immediately regained his composure. Realizing that attacks using the field did not work, he turned the field only for defense and started a hand-to-hand combat. Of course, his limbs were still wrapped around the field. It was because there was no need to cancel the reflection for a physical attack using the field’s repulsive force.
Aegis’ rage-like series of attacks began to push Ahn Soo-ho slowly.
‘Is Ryu Tae-hyun still there?’
I wanted Ryu Tae-hyeon to join us, but he was still caught by the Delta team. The fight itself seemed to be overpowering him throughout, but it was because they were so tenacious. The Occasionally intervening reflection field of the Aegis also contributed to the sluggish end of the fight.
‘About two minutes from the start of the battle. The morning star’s breathing sound effect will end. There are still 2 stocks left, but at least 6 minutes. The longer I drag on, the more I’m at a disadvantage.’
At that moment, Suho Ahn wanted to release the remaining stock at once and attack at 8x speed.
But that was a bad idea. Only his body is accelerated by the breath of the morning star. No matter how fast it is, ordinary physical attacks cannot pierce the Aegis’ reflective field. To defeat him, he had no choice but to attack the gaps in the field somehow, shooting out dozens of smoke.
‘When the acceleration ends, it becomes difficult to avoid his attacks. He has to somehow take it down in 6 minutes… ….’
Within 6 minutes, Ryu Tae-hyeon must defeat those three, then join him and defeat the Aegis. It seemed easy in words, but Ryu Tae-hyeon was hardly able to use his strength against those three people who were clinging to him like leeches.
‘Something. If there is a variable that will change the current situation…….’
It was the moment Suho Ahn thought so.
-Up Up Up Up Up Up Up Up Up Up Up!
With a deafening siren, five police cars rushed in from one side of the intersection. Police officers from each vehicle pointed their guns at them in the middle of the battle.
“Stop moving! Lay down your weapons and surrender! If you don’t, I’ll shoot you!”
What the cops were holding was not a handgun, but a rifle for a monster. An item that exerts enough power against monsters as well as superhumans. It was easy to go to the goal if he was hit unless his physical strength was extremely high like Ryu Tae-hyun.
However.
“Final Warning! Lay down your weapons and surrender! If you don’t comply, I’ll shoot you!”
“No! You shouldn’t have shot-“
-Kaang!
As if to block Ahn Su-ho’s mouth, Aegis continued to attack like crazy. In the end, the police who were not able to do it carried out suppress fire.
-Tada da da da dadang! Tadadadang!
Gunshots resound like roars. The bullets coincidentally went to Aigis, who was turning his back on the police. To be precise, towards the six reflective fields spread out to protect his back.
-Thudder and more!
The bullet stuck in the reflection field turned 180 degrees with a strange echo. Screams spread among the police shortly after.
“Ahhhhh!”
“Don’t shoot! The bullet is reflected and shoots…… aaagh!”
The police fired back helplessly in front of Aegis’s shield.
But at that moment.
‘Gap!’
The moment the six reflective fields returned to Aegis’ back. That moment was the gap Ahn Soo-ho had been waiting for so long. The breath of the morning star emits a red light furiously, and his body accelerates an additional two times.
“!!”
Belatedly noticing the acceleration, Aegis called the field together. However, Ahn Su-ho’s exit was faster than that.
“Oh my gosh-“
-Tooquaaa!!!!
The next moment, a violent storm raged from Ahn Soo-ho’s right hand.
That’s S rank LUC for you
