Kang Yeo-hwa gasped for breath.
She could feel her stamina draining at an alarming rate even after moving just 10 meters due to the cold and the cold wind.
If she ran out of energy in a place like this, she would not be able to guarantee her life, let alone the artifact.
However, there was a bigger problem than that in the gate.
‘๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐ ๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ช๐ฉ๐, ๐จ๐ค๐ข๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐’๐จ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐?’
Kang Yeo-hwa checked her senses and body.
‘๐๐๐๐จ ๐๐จ ๐๐๐ฃ๐. ๐๐๐๐ฃ. . . .’
She forcibly pulled up the blurry memories that had been clouded.
When was the last time she ate?
How much time had passed since she entered the gate?
How many monsters had she killed?
All the memories floated up as if water had filled her head and then slowly sank.
“Damn it, I’m being eaten by the gate!”
She slapped her own cheek hard.
Slap, a sound rang out and one side of her cheek swelled up red.
The gate was literally a door that opened to ‘another world’.
The world encountered inside it resembled Earth, but it was not Earth.
The weather, time, creatures, nature, and monsters were all slightly different from the rules of this world.
In other words, some gates were a huge disaster in themselves, but if you looked closely, there were also gates that were paradise.
However, mankind had stopped trying to immigrate to the gate or expand its territory.
In fact, they had no choice but to stop.
Just as there were countless resources, treasures, and unprecedented creatures that mankind could obtain from the gate, the gate also had things that it could obtain,
And that was the human being itself.
The longer people spent in the gate, the more they had to pay.
Memories, senses, body, self, emotions.
Random extortion took place, and in severe cases, all of them were taken away, leaving only an empty shell.
It was known as ‘gate syndrome.’
Kang Yeo-hwa was now gradually losing her most recent memories.
“There’s no time.”
Colorful lights sparkled in her head and soon turned into a butterfly and disappeared into the void.
Another part of her fragmented memory had disappeared.
Kang Yeo-hwa stomped her foot.
She hadn’t worked so hard all this time to become an invalid in such a place.
‘๐’๐ก๐ก ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ฅ๐ค๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ค๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ญ๐ฉ ๐ค๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ค๐ง๐ฉ๐ช๐ฃ๐๐ฉ๐ฎ. ๐พ๐๐ค๐ ๐ฟ๐๐-๐จ๐ค๐ค ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก ๐ฃ๐๐ ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ฃ, ๐๐ช๐ฉ ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ’๐ฉ ๐๐๐ก๐ฅ ๐๐ฉ.’
In the first place, it was a ridiculous task to search for an artifact alone in such a vast space.
It might be better to bring a mercenary hunter who was good at keeping his mouth shut.
As she was running frantically towards the exit,
Kang Yeo-hwa felt an ominous presence waiting for her.
A monster. . . No, a person.
She stopped running and hesitated for a moment,
Shuuใ กใ กung!!
A long spear tore through the air and flew towards her.
Kang Yeo-hwa clenched her teeth and kicked the spear’s trajectory.
Kwaaaang!
The spear, which had flown in a different direction, pierced through a tree and crashed into a rock with a deafening roar.
The impact was so great that her ankles felt numb.
However, it was a better strategy to take it head-on than to avoid it clumsily.
“Wow, you’re amazing.”
Someone approached her, clapping their hands.
He was a burly man who seemed to be as big as Choi Dae-soo.
“What are you?”
Kang Yeo-hwa guarded against him, not hiding her hostility.
“As expected of an S-Rank. You’re not scared in this situation.”
The man shrugged and took out a candy and put it in his mouth.
“I’mใ ก Ah, I can’t say my name! Just call me No. 4! I was ordered to kill you.”
“Who sent you?”
“Wow, you’re cool, sister. Can I take you and raise you?”
No. 4 said, looking at the top of the rock mountain.
There, two people were looking down at them, as if they had been there for a while.
“Eub eub eub eub eub.”
“Damn it. If you joke around in front of an S-Rank, you’re going to get hit in the face.”
A woman in a straitjacket with a gag in her mouth.
And a middle-aged man with a cane and his eyes covered.
Kang Yeo-hwa realized that they were skilled assassins.
‘๐๐ฉ’๐จ ๐๐๐จ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ค๐ช๐จ ๐๐ค๐ง ๐ข๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ก๐ก ๐๐ค๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐.’
“Mister No. 3. So far, the only person who has hurt my body is No. 1ใ ก Ugh!”
No. 4 laughed out loud, but he was taken aback by Kang Yeo-hwa’s sudden attack.
“Mr! This b*tch is attacking while I’m talking!”
“Isn’t it cowardly to have three people attack one woman?!”
“Uh. . . That’s true.”
Kang Yeo-hwa cracked her fingers and made a clicking sound.
It was her own habit that she had developed while following someone she liked.
“But are you going to try to fight me with your bare hands? Or have you decided to become my woman?”
“You crazy bastard, you’re talking nonsense.”
Kang Yeo-hwa was widely known to the public as a divine archer.
Her formidable shooting skills that could blow away targets from 500 meters away.
Her skills were so close to being miraculous that they could be called the otherworldly lineage.
However, that was just an auxiliary ability that she had honed in order to be helpful to the master.
‘๐๐ฉ’๐จ ๐๐๐๐ฃ ๐ ๐ก๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐ ๐จ๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐’๐ซ๐ ๐ช๐จ๐๐ ๐๐ฉ.’
There was one thing that Kang Yeo-hwa had done best in her class since the old days.
The reason she was good at it was nothing else.
It was because she liked her teacher so much that she followed his signature technique.
Her own specialty, which even Xiaolong could not easily defeat.
Fought with bare hands
[Hand-to-hand combat]
Kang Yeo-hwa charged forward.
No. 4 was not afraid of her attack because he had infused his entire body with magical power.
Rather, he had a ‘look at this’ expression on his face.
However, Kang Yeo-hwa smiled as if she welcomed such a provocation.
Her left foot shot towards the enemy’s head with lightning speed.
No. 4 tilted his head back and dodged the attack.
‘๐๐๐๐จ ๐จ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง’๐จ ๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐๐๐ ๐๐จ ๐๐๐๐ง๐๐!’
Just as he was about to run towards Kang Yeo-hwa and try to pound her,
Paaang!
Her roundhouse kick landed on No. 4’s jaw.
“Kreuk. . .”
Kang Yeo-hwa quickly grabbed his head and smashed his face with her knee.
Peureuk! Peuk! Peureuk!
Blood splattered everywhere, and her pants were dyed red.
Kang Yeo-hwa gathered all her magical power in her fist and gave No. 4 an uppercut to the jaw.
Paaใ กใ กใ กak!!
The large figure fell into the snow, blood gushing from its mouth.
“Do you want to play too?”
Her murderous aura was clearly transmitted to No. 3, who was far away.
“Damn it. . .! Didn’t I tell you that you’re going to get hit in the face? S-Rank is not a human being.”
“Eub eub eub! Eub eub! Eub eub eub eub!”
[Warrior of the Wind: Divine Archer]
Hundreds of lines, shapes, and elaborate characters formed a circle, and magical power flowed along the circuit.
Her weapon was materialized in the vast magic circle, bathed in a bright light that illuminated the snowy field.
The Black Horn Bow, said to be made from the fire of a black dragon and the tendons of a whale.
[Warrior of the Wind: Thunderclap Lightning]
In addition, she had applied the lightning magic she had learned from the master to create and load a thunderclap arrow.
Kang Yeo-hwa did not hesitate to aim her bow and pull the string without hesitation.
Toongใ กใ กใ ก Peuk!
The arrow, which had torn through the air and flew away, pierced the target’s body and fried the part it had hit.
“Eub. . . Eub.”
“N-No. 2.”
The middle-aged man who had covered his eyes rushed to No. 2.
Blood gushed out of the pierced shoulder.
However, there was no way the Divine Archer would miss at a distance of less than 100 meters.
She must have aimed for the head,
“This bastard. . .”
Kang Yeo-hwa glared at someone with fierce eyes.
Someone who had approached her without her noticing and interfered with the path of the bow.
A figure with blue hair and a mask, making it impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman, old or young.
The strange figure tilted its head slightly and opened its mouth.
“My name is No. 1.”
A very beautiful female voice.
It was such an innocent and clear voice for an assassin.
“Can I display your neck in my room?”
A murderous aura fluttered around her pitiful voice.
