89 – Curtain Call (3)
In the middle of a huge maze that goes beyond the parking lot and covers the entire cultural street.
“Is everyone safe?”
“It’s okay. Zero is- are you okay?”
After a dramatic, if dramatic, reunion, Hyunwoo looked back at everyone, and Eunji smiled and smiled before looking at Zero – but Zero, who was staggering as if in discomfort, nodded and raised the corner of his mouth, so it seemed like he was okay.
“More than that, how did you get here? Rather, those bastards-“
“Uh huh. Watch your mouth. “Because we are no longer enemies.”
“…Yes?”
“There is no time to explain, so let’s move on. “We need to run away right now.”
Yumi and the villains are watching awkwardly from behind, and even Prisoner is panting heavily and making animal-like cries behind them.
In an uncomfortable and silent confrontation facing each other, Eun-ji glared at them and asked Hyun-woo, but since there was no time to explain right now, she only told them the simple fact that they were not enemies and looked away.
The sound of something collapsing and footsteps can be heard, albeit little by little. That sound, though small but clearly heard, would be a disaster for them.
“-It’s coming.”
“…Yes?”
We must run away right now. They may be chasing you nearby, but you probably don’t know where they are. Wouldn’t there be enough time to escape?
“Prison.”
“Kaaa!”
Kugugu Palace-
The maze moves little by little as soon as you stamp your foot on the ground with a loud noise. The heroes continue to change the structure of the maze to prevent them from being found, and create a path for themselves to escape from it –
“How much time is left?”
“Now three minutes.”
“It’s too late.”
Hyeonwoo ran forward and asked Yumi, and gritted his teeth when she answered right away.
Time is running out. It will take at least 30 minutes for them to struggle to get out of here. The heroes keep chasing them, and even if you modify the maze to escape them, the path becomes more complicated, so no matter how much you try to escape in the shortest way, the time to escape will continue to increase.
But the truth is that even if you know that fact, there is nothing you can do about it. Now I have to pray that I can stop them as much as possible and think about the next three minutes.
Roaring-
“…To the left!”
When a fork in the road suddenly appears, Prison takes the lead and runs to the left, and they run like crazy after him.
“Can you hear me?”
-Sounds good.
In the meantime, Hyunwoo thought about his future escape route and asked for help through the in-ear.
-What is the situation?
“Escape. Right now I’m trying to escape somehow, but time may be a bit tight. You roughly know our location, right? Probably because it’s in the parking lot-“
-It would be better to go towards point G. Send allies to the destination. Good luck.
No matter how hard they try to escape, they will eventually escape the maze. They will definitely need help to find a way to escape. Hyunwoo clenched his fists upon hearing the man say that help could arrive, but he was relieved for a moment by his words, but-
Flapping.
“…Butterfly? “In the middle of winter?”
Numerous butterflies flying in the sky at some point. At the same time that Eun-ji frowned and expressed doubts, Hyun-woo opened his eyes wide as he looked at them.
A dreamy sight of familiar black butterflies flying in the sky despite it being the middle of winter. The other villains ran forward, out of breath, without even having time to pay attention, but Hyunwoo instantly froze and stopped in his tracks.
“Boss? Why do you stop-“
“…f*ck.”
Kwon So-ah. A shadow butterfly created by his classmate Hero. There’s no way you wouldn’t notice that. Besides, if she’s here-
“…It was somehow hot.”
Isn’t it obvious that there are others? Eun-ji, who was running forward, hurriedly shouted at him, but Hyun-woo still stiffened and rolled his head –
“Prison! “Turn around right away!”
“Krrreuk-?”
“Quickly- ah, damn it.”
I made a quick decision and shouted, but it was already too late.
Quaaa!
“Ugh?!”
A wall bursting with a roar, and smoke billowing out.
The huge wall exploded due to something, blocking the villains’ path, and Sang-hoon, who had screamed, jumped backwards and screamed –
“Crrrliad!”
Prison reacted instantly and ran towards the smoke rising from the collapsed wall-
Puck.
“What kind of beast is there?”
It flew backwards again, landed on the wall, and stopped moving.
“They suddenly create a maze. They looked like they were going to fight, so I thought they would attack right away, but they just ran away. Anyway, villains these days are very cruel.”
A grumbling voice came out, and what slowly emerged from the smoke was – Gladius holding a sword.
“…He’s a real monster.”
“Really? Thank you. “Hearing a villain call him a monster is nothing short of a compliment.”
The walls are clearly higher than most low-rise buildings. In a huge maze made of them, they are breaking the walls and running towards them, glaring at them. If this isn’t a monster, then what is?
When the villains saw the numerous swords aimed at them from above her head, they immediately broke into a cold sweat and gritted their teeth.
“-How did you find us?”
“Well, let’s say there are competent heroes in a place like this.”
In response to Sanghoon’s question, she stretched her index finger into the sky and pointed at something, and then looked at the butterfly sitting on her finger and laughed – Hyunwoo, who looked at her, laughed.
“…Is it a hero puppet?”
“Oh?”
“Plus, it looks like there is a Yaksha.”
“You really know the heroes well enough to be suspicious, right? “And that’s even though they are kids who haven’t really done hero work yet.”
“Do you think it makes sense not to know the enemy’s information?”
He was so arrogant. Hyunwoo fiddled with his mask and admitted his misjudgment.
A prisoner lying dead – no, to be exact, he was already dying, so he was no different from a living corpse. This was not the time to be worrying about whether or not that guy could get out of here before his life was over.
The first thing he has to think about is whether he can get out of here.
“Villain Guardian. “I’ve only heard rumors, but this is my first time seeing it in person.”
They first had to think about Chaeyoung, who was ready to swing her sword with an expression full of curiosity, and whether she could defeat the numerous weapons aimed at them from above her head.
“Zero. “How many are left?”
When Hyunwoo ignored her and asked her Zero, she immediately spread her index finger.
Is there only one number left? I used it once when I removed Yumi’s bomb, and three times during the battle – that’s what I thought, but I’ve already used it two more times.
“Damn it.”
“Boss, what are we going to do now?”
“Whatever. “We need to run away right now.”
Will I be able to win if I fight here?
Probably not. Not only is there no way to defeat that person, but even if she does, the remaining heroes, excluding that person, will be following in her footsteps.
“So, how?”
However, if you think about how to get out of this – there is only one way.
“…Yumi.”
“Are you sure you’ll be okay?”
“At least I’m not afraid of death. If even Yumi can escape, this is fine. Furthermore-“
When Hyunwoo turns his back to look at the villains, they soon smile and nod and step forward.
“Villain Guardian.”
“……”
“Please take care of Yumi.”
“Yes.”
Anyway, the bomb installed in their hearts will explode soon. Those who declare that their lives will soon be dead anyway, so they will use their lives here.
“Where did you make this foolish move-“
As their atmosphere became unusual, Chaeyoung immediately rushed towards her, firing her swords, and the villains began running towards her.
Passsss-
And at the same time, the firefly lost its light and turned into dust in Hyunwoo’s hand. When Zero saw that, he quickly stretched out his hand and took out the last remaining medium, but Hyunwoo waved his hand and immediately turned his back.
The strongest hero at the moment is rushing in. And the villains who stand in their way –
“Everyone.”
From Noble mtl dot com
Yumi, who was looking at them, closed her eyes and opened her mouth.
“-For so long, I am so grateful.”
This is her last performance.
This is the final greeting to the villains who are already in pain and bleeding from the mouth, and who are now at the end of their lives-
“Really.”
A curtain call announcing her new beginning, prepared to say goodbye to them.
When her voice came out, the villains’ eyes lit up and they gritted their teeth –
“aaa-!”
The villains who rushed towards Chaeyoung in an instant ran wild and screamed.
