03. Guild Fair (17)

Quarleung!! Lightning struck the dry, cloudless sky.

A flash of light torn into thousands.

Amid the darkly burned armor and rising smoke, Namgoong-min caught on to his fading consciousness.

“Uh, how….”

The armor Namgoong Min is wearing.

This is a considerable optional armor that ignores all elemental attacks below B rank, and even receives attacks equivalent to A rank at less than half.

It’s an armor of inestimable value that I was able to get only after joining the 10,000 people, killing countless people, and completing dozens of their missions.

But to burn that armor to black?

“I only heard one sword… ?”

It only means one thing that you can ignore this armor and hit it.

That woman’s attack was a season equivalent to an S rank.

“Speak, nonsense… this….”

Yoon Seo-hee said as she put her sword into her scabbard behind the man’s back.

“It’s not just one sword, it’s a sword made by the best artisan I know.”

Click. The man vomits blood with the sound of the golden egg fully engaging the scabbard.

The central part of the hollow armor.

At the last moment, I hit him with the hilt, not the blade.

If it wasn’t for that, Namgoong Min would have already pierced her chest and died.

At the most, at an age that looks like a student, he has this kind of skill.

‘God… monster….’

Namgoong-min bows his head and falls forward.

His massive body fell forward and he lost consciousness with a thud.

After seeing the man fall down, Yoon Seo-hee finally turned her attention to the white-haired girl.

“Blank index!”

You were there too… It felt a little strange when I called it.

I thought it was just the two of us on a date with Jini Lee, but to think he was there before me….

However, I put that feeling aside for a while and approached her to find out her situation.

Baek Ji-soo threw his sword first at the scene unfolding before his eyes as soon as he transferred, and was looking around as if he had finally grasped the situation.

As their eyes met, Baek Ji-soo hurriedly opened her mouth.

“Yoon Seo-hee. I’m sorry right away, but I don’t have time. I need your help.”

“My help?”

“There is Kim Yi-jin in there. We have to save it.”

At those words, Yoon Seo-hee’s mild eyes seriously sink.

“What should I do?”

The eyes were full of determination to do anything if necessary.

Baek Ji-soo looked at the entrance of the exhibition hall, which had been blocked by Namgoong-min just before.

To be precise, the barrier of the devil worshipers that divides this place from that place beyond the entrance.

“Break down that door on my signal. With all your might.”

“That’s easy enough.”

Yoon Seo-hee touched the hilt of her new sword with her fingertips.

The sword I made before was perfect, but the new golden ribbon was more than perfect.

Baek Ji-su immediately sent a telepathic message to Kim Yi-jin.

‘Binary. This one is ready. Start now.’

–

Baek Ji-soo’s clear and clear voice echoes in my head.

This is telepathy. It was the first time I had experienced it, so it was awkward, but also strange.

Holding a hammer and a one-handed sword, straighten your posture.

A black orb that floats in the air on its own even though the case made of tempered glass and the metal that composes the orb are all shattered.

If you attack it like Baek Ji-soo did just now, the orb will react to me to defend itself.

In the meantime, the magic supply of the barrier has stopped, and Yoon Seo-hee and Baek Ji-soo break the barrier by aiming for the gap.

‘I wonder if I can do well.’

I have no doubt that the two will do well.

But I feel the pressure and responsibility that I have to cut off that start.

The weight is so heavy that it weighs on your shoulders.

‘I have no choice but to do it.’

Even in the midst of this agony, the hunter is still dying from above.

Didn’t a person named Yuna also say that? She doesn’t know how long she can last, so please hurry up.

The barrier only gets stronger as time passes. As Baek Ji-soo said, if even one more gate is opened, there is no possibility that the people above will survive.

I took a deep breath and ran lightly in place as a warm-up.

The effect of the strengthening magic Baek Ji-soo had cast was still the same.

Since I didn’t feel the effective time, either the duration is quite long, or the blank index is still supplying me with magic power.

I put the hammer in my right hand back and took a big step.

Shuwook! As I run with all my might with my strengthened strength and agility stats, the surrounding scenery passes by in an instant. With that acceleration all over his body, he twisted his waist greatly and swung his hammer.

Booung. A black orb trembling uncontrollably.

Soon, the demons quickly gathered together and swung at me in the form of black tentacles.

“What!?”

It was an energy form! Sudden tentacles?

“Chit… !”

There is no time to be surprised.

I swung the three-man sword and hit the tentacle, so I wonder if it was right! A tentacle that cuts off with a sound.

I took advantage of that gap and rushed again, and the tentacles regenerated from the shock swept the floor this time, aiming for the lower body.

Boom! Sweep the floor like a broomstick and swing the three-person sword in the direction of the approaching tentacle.

However, the tentacles of the black demon twisted the trajectory in an instant and then wrapped around my torso.

“Billion!”

In the blink of an eye, it literally flew off and landed on the wall.

Boom!! My body crashes against the steel wall of the warehouse.

I couldn’t even breathe properly from the intense shock that hit my back.

“It’s so… !”

As I staggered away from the wall, the tentacles that had been carrying me were wriggling around the orb.

Whether that’s the tentacle’s form of physical defense or something, I can’t even approach it in that state.

With the level of agility equivalent to rank B, it seems difficult to move faster than that tentacle’s reaction speed.

It doesn’t seem like taking out those tentacles has any significant effect on the barrier. After analyzing it, it doesn’t seem like the supply of Magi has decreased significantly.

I resist with all my might when the number is blank, and I’m saying that surplus magic is enough for me, right?

‘It’s annoying….’

In this state, I can’t make a gap between Yoon Seo-hee and Baek Ji-soo.

I have to get close somehow and hit it properly.

Since I’m still looking at the dictation, the tentacles don’t show hostility to me either. Just stay still around the marbles.

Doesn’t he react if he doesn’t approach more than a certain amount?

If that’s the case, do you rush at a speed that the tentacle can’t even react out of range… But this method is unreasonable. Because I don’t have the speed like Yoon Seo-hee.

Or a way to neutralize the tentacles and orbs at the same time by inflicting a wide range of blows.

If that’s the case, anything is possible.

This hammer. It might be possible if it was a unique skill engraved on the hammer.

It is not something that can only be used by those with certain qualifications like the three-person sword.

My exclusive weapon.

Exclusive skill for that exclusive weapon.

As long as the user is myself, holding the weapon naturally reminds me of how to use it.

“Whoa….”

Slowly control your breathing.

Resonates consciousness with the hammer held in the right hand, not the three-person sword.

The moment my concentration peaked, I was running forward before I knew it.

“Haaa!”

It’s slow. It’s slow enough for tentacles to counter easily.

But it’s okay. Because what I need right now is not speed.

I slam the hammer that I haven’t even decided on yet with all my might. The motion that he repeated hundreds of thousands or millions of times while making weapons.

The nameless hammer’s unique skill.

A hammer swinging from top to bottom hits space.

Zeuong!! The tentacles approaching me get hit by the air that strikes me down from empty space, and I am pinned to the floor.

It wasn’t just that. The case with the tentacles and marbles, the surrounding objects and the debris rolling on the floor, everything.

Awesome! The whole space collapses. As if air had weight.

As if an invisible hammer had struck this area.

“Huh!”

A feeling of being sucked out of one’s mana. Even if it was not enough for the three-person sword’s unique skill Yam, the recovered magic power had fallen to the bottom.

However, it is still not enough. Even though the tentacles were neutralized, it did not give enough damage to the orb body.

I don’t have enough mana to use the same skill again. Then.

‘This time I’ll hit you myself!’

Now that the tentacles were incapacitated, it was an opportunity.

Put the three-person sword into the sheath and hold the handle of the hammer with both hands.

I energized my whole body with the momentum to burn all the magic I had left to the dust, and jumped high with the momentum to almost touch the ceiling.

Boom! My body flew through the air for a very short time, and then fell under the influence of gravity.

“Ahhhhh!”

The trail of a heavy hammer that slams down from top to bottom. It seemed that the hammer had enough momentum to destroy Mount Taesan.

If you get it right, no matter how hard the ball is, you can’t guarantee the next one.

No, take this opportunity to take it down with the momentum to break it!

Thanks to the repeated hammer strikes, the falling hammer aimed precisely at the center of the marble.

More quickly, something black came out of the orb and pierced my chest.

“Big… Ugh… !”

A hidden second tentacle.

It was right through my heart.
