𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟓𝟔: 𝐇𝐢𝐦
“I’ll give you three seconds. Come out or get lost.”
Siwoo frowned at the foul aura emanating from outside.
He almost ignored it.
His only reason for coming to the abandoned hospital was to verify the ‘ghost sightings’.
However, as time passed, sticky gazes began to stick to him one by one.
They were different from the eyes of monsters or wild beasts.
The gaze was unique to humans, wrapping around the body.
Furthermore, it was not a simple observation, as it was slimy and sharp.
The malicious intent of a skilled person.
“Three.”
Siwoo twisted his neck.
A mixture of excitement and coolness washed over him.
Although he had intended to let them go when Sion appeared,
If they did not put away their aura, he would have no choice but to show them what he was made of.
“Two.”
Hundreds of geometric shapes scattered haphazardly, and magic power blazed like a circuit along them.
[Poison Arrow: Hundred Spears]
A dark blue magic circle shaped itself at Siwoo’s feet, shining brightly as if to dispel the darkness.
Shushushu━
“One.”
A hundred materialized spears shot towards the wall like rays of light.
Kwagwagwagwagaga!!
Explosive force shattered the cement and raced into the open sky.
Beyond that sweeping attack, Siwoo’s indifferent gaze fell coldly.
Dead or alive, it didn’t matter.
Thick dust scattered into the dark night sky, and the outer wall, which looked like it had been ravaged by a typhoon, spoke volumes of the power.
“What the hell is this?”
“Oppa, anger management issues.”
【𝐀𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐲 𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐲?】
Siwoo clicked his tongue and replied.
“Ji Yu-ri, go inside. Protect Sion well.”
“Yes?? Yes?? Yes!”
Ji Yu-ri wrapped her arms around Sion and walked into the ward.
‘𝙄 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙖 𝙛𝙚𝙬 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙙, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮’𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙄 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩.’
Siwoo drew magic power from his dantian and circulated it through his body.
“Oh, my God.”
“Ugh, you bastard. What, what hurts, hurts.”
“Shut up, both of you.”
Under the dim moonlight, the silhouettes revealed themselves.
“Where did No. 8 go?”
“He got hit by a spear and fell.”
“Hey, weakling, weakling.”
“Huh! What a jerk!”
The three left Siwoo standing and began to chatter among themselves.
They didn’t seem to mind the blow he had just shown them.
That meant they must be quite skilled.
Siwoo focused his magic power on his eyes and observed their condition.
‘𝙄𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙪𝙮 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙞𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧? 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙩 𝙜𝙪𝙮 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙨 𝙨𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙡𝙮, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙮 𝙜𝙪𝙮 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨. 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙡𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙘 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡.’
As if they were used to these battles, they showed no tension or caution.
‘𝙅𝙪𝙙𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙨, 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙗𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙝𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙂𝙖𝙩𝙚, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙢 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚.’
Siwoo analyzed the scars on their bodies, the position of their weapons, the state of their magic power, and their habits in detail.
He might not get a chance to look into them like this once they started fighting, so this was an opportunity if there ever was one.
“Oh, number 7, I’m hungry.”
“What, you idiot No. 10! I-is f-food a p-problem?!”
“I’m full.”
“S-stop it!! No. 9, No. 10!! Shut up!!!”
The long-haired man called No. 7 shouted in a hoarse voice, his face covered in scars.
At his thunderous roar, the skinny No. 9 and the fat No. 10 shut their mouths like clams that had been fed honey.
“HSIU, you’ve noticed that we’re watching, haven’t you?”
He was a man with roughly tied white hair and sharp eyes that went well together.
“You looked pretty stupid, not knowing whether you were a ghost or something. I guess you’re quick to notice.”
“That’s right. So you must have noticed the trash stuck to the window, too.”
No. 1 looked at Siwoo, stroking his scar.
How many people had said such presumptuous things to him?
“Arrogant. Guys who think they’re a little good think they’re the best in the world. They don’t even know what level their opponent is.”
“Like you?”
Siwoo replied with a grin, and the veins on No. 7’s forehead bulged.
“You son of a b*tch. . .!! What are you doing! Bring me his head!”
“Oh, I want to eat meat.”
“I’ll g-go f-first!”
The moment No. 9 tried to take a step,
Siwoo flicked a lump of compressed magic power with his finger.
Paang!
The sound of a whip being swung could be heard as the magic bullet hit No. 9’s face.
It wouldn’t have been strange if his skull had been crushed.
However, the magic bullet stopped about 0.1 mm from his nose and dissipated into nothingness.
“Your abilities are strangely abnormal.”
Siwoo twisted his wrist.
He had thought he would deal with them moderately, but this attack allowed him to gauge the potential of his enemy.
“He looks like that, but he’s our team’s tank.”
No. 7 smiled and then winked at No. 10.
“Oh, let’s finish this quickly and eat.”
No. 10 raised his huge hands and pointed his fingertips at Siwoo.
[Ten Finger Manifestations]
A loud noise poured down like rain from the tips of his ten fingers.
Tudatadatadatadatada!!
Dozens of bullets materialized by the skill pierced the darkness like flames through his fingers.
Siwoo didn’t bother to block them and rolled his body to dodge them.
It was foolish to try to block every single attack with high magic density.
He stepped on the wall as if it were the floor and quickly ran towards No. 10.
The best way to get rid of a long-range dealer was to eliminate them from the start.
There was no other reason than that they were annoying to fight with.
“Oh, he’s fast.”
Just as he was about to smash his fist into his face,
A bright yellow lightning bolt pierced Siwoo’s side in an instant.
Kwagwagwagwagaga━ Bang!!
With a tremendous shockwave, Siwoo was sent flying and crashed into the forest next to the hospital.
He felt a throbbing pain from the surprise attack he had received.
“Damn it.”
Siwoo tore off his charred top with a short curse and threw it aside.
The bright red, hot skin of his abdomen came into view.
“Do you understand what I’m saying now? You little punk who can’t even figure out the level of your opponent.”
No. 7, who had approached at some point, looked down at Siwoo with a smug expression.
“Don’t think that just because you’ve beaten a few others, you’re the best. It’s just that an attack that worked once boosted your pride.”
“. . .Self-introduction?”
“This bastard━!!”
