“OMG… … Ahh… !”
All he could do was let out a feeble scream.
Caught by the branches of the World Tree, he was rapidly shrinking in size.
Then, after it became the size of a small ball, it could no longer be sucked in.
There was no energy or mana that he felt in his body, and what he had absorbed so far was just water, and what was left now seemed to be his body.
“Is this what it looks like?”
“Ugh… … .”
I grabbed it in my hand and lifted it, and as I lifted it, a little human figure squirmed and squealed in pain.
“Jihyuk!”
“Ji-hyuk. it’s okay?”
When I answered that it was okay to the two people who approached me, Jin Ye-seul snatched him from my hand.
Then he started squeezing his body like a squeeze, and every time he did, his body was strangely squeezed like a water balloon.
“Who dares this bastard… !”
“That, ah… !”
“die! die! It will explode and die!”
“Aww… !”
Horie Yuzuki murmured after staring at him for a moment.
“This is a big harvest. Captivating a member of the Red Case… … .”
Then he put him in a glass bottle he had brought from somewhere.
She muttered quietly, but reassured, as she closed the entrance of the glass bottle tightly.
“thank god… … Still, that person won’t be in much trouble… … .”
“Then what do we do now? Should I first find him and bring him back?”
In response to Jin Ye-seul’s words, she rubbed her right arm, which had become stiff from using the branches of the world tree forcibly.
“Red Case’s watering team is basically a three-person team. It would be normal to see at least one person left somewhere.”
“First, I will go outside and contact the guild master. Since we can’t communicate with outsiders here… … If you don’t get it right away, we’ll send you a text message summarizing the situation, and first of all we… … .”
That was when we were sharing opinions.
All of a sudden, there was a sound of breath coming out of the speaker.
– Damn it, it’s been restored now. Hey, Acclair! what happened!
A nervous woman’s voice resounded in the plaza.
Jin Ye-seul, who was quickly looking around, noticed that there was a microphone next to the tightly closed door, and pointed without a word.
“Uh, uh… !”
The man who was trapped inside the glass bottle, Acclair, tapped the glass bottle with a weak gesture.
Then, Horie Yuzuki shook the glass bottle vigorously, as if to stay still.
As he slammed into the glass bottle and mumbled in pain, she snorted a little.
– What, why no answer? are you dead? Hey! Acclair!
The woman behind the speaker was swearing, full of annoyance, as she stretched out her words.
how do i get over it
Then, Jin Ye-seul looked at me and smiled, then walked towards the speaker.
Then she put her finger on her neck and opened her mouth.
“sorry. Just to catch your breath.”
Surprisingly, a man’s voice came out of her mouth.
It was the voice of a man in a glass bottle.
Horie Yuzuki and the man inside the glass bottle looked at her as if surprised, and I looked at Jin Ye-seul in a different sense of surprise.
Hopefully, you will learn it in less than two days.
– What should… … I was surprised. How are you?
“Lee Myung-joon blew away as planned, and all three people who came in were killed.
— … right? Did you kill them all?
“okay. Come on over and help me out. It’s hard to move properly because the wounds I received from these guys are a bit big.”
– Oh, right? Help. don’t worry. I’ll be down soon.
And Jin Ye-seul looked at this side and shook her head left and right as if asking for praise.
I nodded my head as if I was nice to her.
Now, if you’re hiding, and when that woman comes down, the three of you surprise them at once… … .
– you.
when you think so.
Suddenly, a stream of water erupted from the sprinkler once more.
– Who are you?

Once more, water started to fill the room, but we couldn’t move.
A woman’s low laughter could be heard over the speaker.
– He never said he killed me. I always said I dealt with it. I don’t know who he is, but he’s doing really cute things.
With those words, there was a chuckle of popularity over the speaker.
It sounded like he was getting up from his seat.
― It seems that you can’t even answer right now. I don’t know if he’s dead or alive, but if possible, I hope the water you’re splattering right now will help you, Acclair. And you stay there and wait.
She made a threatening sound like a beast.
– I’ll be there soon.
After that, communication was cut off.
Jin Ye-seul, who immediately became contemplative, approached me and started gibbling.
“Mi, sorry. me, i just… !”
“it’s okay. It was inevitable.”
“Ha, but… ! Sorry, I really wanted to do well… !”
“Because it’s not your fault.”
It really was.

On the contrary, Jin Ye-seul, who tried to lure the enemy down without panicking in that situation, was amazing.
I patted her on the shoulder a few times as if reassured.
“Uh, uh!”
“Stay still!”
As he struggled as he watched the stream of water pouring out of the glass bottle, Yuzuki Horie shook the bottle vigorously once more.
Seeing this, I simply took out both of Yado’s daggers and grabbed them.
“Of course, but you must never let him go free, Horie-san.”
“Don’t worry, Jihyuk-kun.”
With those words, she held a chain in one hand and a glass bottle in the other.
I wondered if it would break, but as she touched the glass bottle and mumbled something, I thought it must have been some kind of number written on it.
The three of us immediately formed herpes.
It was a simple yet standard formation with Yuzuki Horie coming in front and Ye Seul Jin taking the right and left wing, respectively, and facing the hallway from three directions.
I hear nervous footsteps from beyond.
At that sound, I was preparing to use the branches of the world tree and the shadow of Henir at any time.
The footsteps I heard stopped.
Then each of us took a stance so that all three of us could attack at any moment.
As soon as the door opens, you run right in.
I was thinking like that.
Whoops!
“Ouch!”
Suddenly, with the sound of something violently hitting, Yuzuki Horie flew away with a scream.
The momentum was so strong that she rolled over the ground and crashed into the opposite wall until she stopped moving.
“Now, what… ?”
I was muttering to myself in an incomprehensible situation, and only then did the door open.

On the other side of the door, there was a woman in a position of destroying the regime.
Even if he pretends to be, he has a hardened body and sharp eyes.
With her skin tanned by the sun, she looked like a cat and a wild beast.
“You’re having a lot of fun, Acclair.”
Looking at the man in the glass bottle, she muttered quietly.
Then he slowly relaxed his posture and said.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take it out soon.”
“Kill!”
At my cry, Ye-seul Jin ran towards me with her eyes shining like an animal.
And I also rushed to the beat with the intention of supporting her with all my might.
“huh!”
But somehow, she was one step faster than us.
She suddenly wanted to cross her fists and lift them up, then slapped them on either side of her.
And Jin Ye-seul and I were attacked almost at the same time and fell out.
He didn’t even have time to figure out what had attacked him.
I don’t know what happened to Jin Ye-seul, but at least I could tell that this one was hit in the chin.
I couldn’t do anything because the goal rang.
When I woke up, I was on my knees and gasping.
“What, why won’t it break?”
Then, a woman’s bewildered voice was heard.
Then, seeing Yuzuki Horie coughing up a cough mixed with pain, she muttered as if understanding.
“This is Horie Yuzuki. Yes, a warp and space-related ability. You’ve been playing in vain.”
With those words, she muttered as if she had come to a conclusion.
“If I break your bones, will it work?”
Then she swung and pulled her head back.
A thin saliva rushed past where her head had been just a moment ago.
She grabbed her stomach and faced Jin Ye-seul, who was staring at her as if she was about to kill her.
Jin Ye-seul let out a rough breath and ran as it was.
As the woman slammed into the air, the sound of beating drums came out once more, but it could not do any damage to Jin Ye-seul.
flowing snake.
She looked surprised for a moment at her footsteps, and then began to hit the air with her fists as if it was just that.
But, surprisingly, Jin Ye-seul was dodging all invisible attacks.
“… What, did you avoid it?”
“Once you see it, you can see it.”
Jin Ye-seul said with a fishy smile, but only avoided it.
And that fact was well known to both sides.
“Then keep looking and avoiding it, once in a while.”
With those words, she continued to press Jin Ye-seul.
Jin Ye-seul continued to dodge her attacks, and clenched her teeth whenever an attack passed in between.
‘What the hell… … .’
Invisible attacks vary.
And there were a lot of things that had to be measured.
If you misunderstood the enemy’s ability, you could literally see a huge loss.
I bit the inside of my mouth, trying to shake off the still ringing head.
He seemed to be getting a little nauseous with a throbbing pain.
I had to focus.
What is the enemy’s ability?
telekinesis? space series? Or the wind?
Then I could see strange ripples spread over the surface of the water, riding her ankles every time she attacked.
wave.
yes it was
“Jin Ye-seul!”
I clenched my teeth and shouted loudly.
“It’s a wave! She smashed the air and attacked with that shock wave!”
As soon as she said that, she waved her arm wildly, as if looking at me to shut her mouth.
I quickly blocked it with Henir’s shadow, but the shock caused me to fly away.
“Jihyuk! You are… !”
“You are a bit annoying.”
It looks like a broken bone.
As I was grabbing my stomach and trying to get myself up somehow, I heard the sound of something smashing together with a loud metal noise.
When I came to my senses, I saw Jin Ye-seul flying helplessly towards this side.
In a rush, I managed to catch her with the branches of the world tree, but thanks to that, I fell back one more time.
“Ugh!”
“ね… … wow… !”
Jin Ye-seul vomited in vain as if she had been beaten in the stomach.
The problem was that I was lying on her, and what she vomited fell on my shoulder.
And Jin Ye-seul, who noticed that, was startled and wiped the clothes with water with both hands, sprinkling water with a rattling sound.
“Mi, I’m sorry! I’m so sorry, I’ll buy you a new one later!”
“It’s okay, come out… … .”
“yes!”
Jin Ye-seul immediately came out and straightened her posture.
And with her quick help, I too managed to get up.
Suddenly, a woman with a weapon like gauntlets in both hands was looking at me with a grin and smiling.
That’s what made the sound.
I glanced at Jin Ye-seul’s shoe and saw the blade protruding from it.
“Any other weapon?”
“Everything is smashed.”
It would be nice to hand over the dagger of the Yado, but I lost it while flying while being beaten, so I don’t know where I dropped it.
Then, looking at this side, the sight of her shaking her gauntlet as if threateningly made me suddenly think of a few things.

Originally, Henir’s shadow was Jin Ye-seul’s skill.
And it was the fact that she wore it like armor and engaged in close combat.
“Oh, over there. Ji-hyuk… ?”
“Wait a minute.”
I just put my hand on her back.
Jin Ye-seul muttered as if embarrassed, but now was not the time to worry about that.
“… uh?”
Immediately following my will, Henir’s shadow began to cover Jin Ye-seul’s body.
She had the shadow of Henir all over her body as if she was wearing armor.
And as soon as Jin Ye-seul realized that, she suddenly burst into tears.
“Ugh… !”
“What, what, what are you doing?”
When I asked, startled, she said with tears in her eyes and a snoring voice.
“No, I just love it… … I’m impressed, really… … Even if I die now, I have no spare time.”
“… … .”
I didn’t say anything about it.
We only weakened the woman who watched us, clutching the banshee’s necklace.
“Ugh, what a trick… !”
“That woman is weaker than before, and you are stronger than before.”
While she was shaken by the sensation of pressing her body, I gently placed my hand on the shoulder of Jin Ye-seul, who was still in infinite emotion.
“Then what should I do now?”
Instead of answering my words, Jin Ye-seul flew straight to her.
It was much faster than before, and the momentum was threatening.
“Ugh… … .”
As soon as Jin Ye-seul disappeared, her expression collapsed.
Not joking, it was hard to breathe because my ribs were broken.
It wasn’t a pleasant experience, but it was broken when I was young, so I could roughly estimate it.
can’t move
As I was thinking about it, my eyes caught on to the bracelet hanging on my arm.

Oak Chieftain’s bracelet.
With that, I was able to use the skill that was most appropriate for the current situation.
[The skill ‘Fortitude’ was used.]
[The will begins to spring up again in the body and mind that is collapsing!]
“Collock, Collock… … .”
While Jin Ye-seul was buying time, I hurried my legs and approached Yuzuki Horie, who was lying down.
Fortunately, she was still breathing, but she was still unable to control herself as to where she had been hit.
I grabbed her from behind and dragged her to the safest place possible.
It was because there was a good chance that he would be hit by a blind attack if he was in such a conspicuous place.
All the while, she was holding on to the glass bottle.
I looked it up just in case, but I didn’t see any cracks or broken parts.
That must have been bad news for the man trapped inside.
“No face, no… … Yes.”
“Okay, I’m taking a break.”
Saying that, he turned his head and looked at the two of them fighting.
Jin Ye-seul, who wrapped around Henir’s shadow, was obviously stronger than before, but nevertheless, she was barely boiling with her opponent.
In the first place, the compatibility with the opponent who has a means of attacking from a distance was the worst for Jin Ye-seul.
Therefore, her method was to close the distance faster than anyone else and finish it in close combat, but it was natural that she would be difficult to deal with, no matter how much she was able to attack regardless of distance with one punch like that.
It wasn’t that the opponent was weak in close combat.
I sent the branches of the world tree to the ground to assist Jin Ye-seul.
The water is up to your ankles and it’s turbid with dirt and debris, so it’s hard to tell at first glance.
It was when the branch stretched right next to the two of them and momentarily aimed at her ankle and swung it.
“Don’t be fooled, you cowardly bastard!”
“Ouch… !”
As if she had known it from the beginning, she blew away all branches of the World Tree with one big swipe of the foot, and then stabbed the government deeply towards me.
I momentarily raised my arm to avoid a direct hit, but in return my arm was broken so well that anyone could see it.
It seemed that he was sensing the opponent’s movement like a radar by scattering minute vibrations and waves around him.
I checked it just in case, and it was as expected.
In return, the broken arm was unexpectedly bleeding, but… … .
‘I can’t face anyone but Jin Ye-seul.’
It is able to notice all movements of the opponent, has quick reflexes, and makes each simple blow heavy.
Above all, being able to attack regardless of distance was the most threatening.
It was said that in order to fight her head-on, at least Jin Ye-seul-level physical ability and fighting sense were required.
‘then.’
This time, I opened the portal with Henir’s shadow and tried to stretch out the branches of the world tree.
However, this time, she diddge all the branches flying from the blind spot by a single point.
“You bastard!”
“Uh-huh!”
In the meantime, I was hit one more time, and I was thrown in the direction of Horie Yuzuki.
“Ugh… … .”
Struggling in pain, I was able to draw conclusions.
You have to attack at high speed.
I had to fire an attack as fast as I could, at least comparable to a gun.
Even if you can detect it, if you can’t avoid it, it’s meaningless.
But how could I have such a means of attack… … .
“ah.”
As I was about to stand up on the ground, the branch of the world tree on my right arm was revealing my will.

Okay.
The branches of the World Tree can be used to their original power when used as a bow.
And in preparation for that time, I learned archery skills from Professor Grossman, and even received guidance from Yeeun Lee.
However, my skills were still young.
Although it was possible to shoot a bow, it was said that he was not competent enough to hit such an opponent.
In the meantime, the branch of the World Tree that had slipped out of his right arm took the form of a bow.
Henir’s shadow also revealed his presence as if he would not lose.

Only then did I know what they were trying to say to me.
“ね… !”

One arm is broken and I can’t properly pull the chord with my hand.
They had no choice but to press the bow with their feet and pull the protesters as hard as they could.
I needed an arrow.
And I instinctively used Nidhogg’s fangs as arrowheads and the branches of the world tree as arrowheads, and weave the two together.
It was an ironic arrow that was at the opposite end of each other.
Lean against the wall and pull the bow as hard as you can.
Yuzuki Horie was looking at me puzzledly as I drew my bow from behind cover so that she could not see me as much as possible.
But I didn’t hesitate at all.
In front of me, Henir’s shadow opened a portal in the direction the arrow would fly.
The condition for using Henir’s Shadow is that there is a shadow at the entrance and exit.
And what can be moved is limited to possessions that are in contact with the owner’s body.
The branches of the World Tree are parasitic on me, so they are judged as nothing like my body.
It sounded like everything was ready.
“Jin Ye-seul!”
She calls out her invisible name.
I couldn’t see it, but I could be sure she heard me.
“Trust me, run!”
Simultaneously with those words, I put the protest down.
At the same time, I could instinctively feel that the portal on the other side was opened from the tip of Jin Ye-seul’s fist.
[Mana is depleted.]
[I was overworked for a while with a weakened body. All physical stats will decrease for a period of time.]
[Skill ‘Fortitude’ has been released. The shock that was halved for the duration is restored to its original state.]
Alerts that pop up instantly.
And someone screams.
Finally, I lost my mind as it was.
