04. Uncomfortable Cohabitation (23)

Yuna and Chae Yeon-seo walked diligently through a narrow passage full of spider webs and dust.

The emergency passage is very old and messy, probably because the mansion built by a German missionary over a hundred years ago was renovated.

The two of them walked silently without showing anything, even though the dust clung to their clothes and hair.

The assassin sent by my uncle might still be after me, but it wasn’t the time to worry about that.

“My lady. Here.”

We reached the end of the aisle before we knew it. Chae Yeon-seo took the lead in opening the door to make sure there was no human presence, and after a while, she gestured toward Yuna as if it were safe.

“The pursuer… ?”

“I don’t think there is.”

Only then, Yuna comes out safely. The place she came out of was a dark forest where she couldn’t even see an inch in front of her. She must have been quite far from the mansion, and the noise of the battle, which was loud, could only be heard far away now.

‘Some… It’s scary.’

A midnight forest gives off an eerie atmosphere. However, the more afraid Yuna was, the more firmly she held onto her heart. Even for her men who risked their lives in her mansion to buy time, she can’t always be trembling like a little girl.

Yuna She is only 17 years old, but she has already made up her mind for this situation. Her hard environment made her girl into an adult. Even if she didn’t want to mature, she had no choice.

“What are you going to do now?”

“I have something prepared just in case.”

Chae Yeon-seo looked around the aisle and strode into the grass as if she had found what she was looking for.

After she peeled off the ultramarine tarpaulin, which was barely visible among the grass, the latest mana bike produced by Claprot was parked there.

“Light and sound may leak out, but I think you’d better move as quickly as possible.”

“Yes. Yes.”

It takes about 1-2 hours to walk to the safe house from here. She could move quietly, but it was better to move quickly because she didn’t know how many more pursuers there would be or how far she had followed her.

Chae Yeon-seo found a key hidden near her and started her bike.

Brrrureung! Click!

The sound of the engine was mixed with the sound of a mechanism operating. Chae Yeon-seo felt her instinctive intuition ringing at the nape of her neck, and she exclaimed.

“My lady! Avoid!”

“Huh?”

Kwakwang!! A bomb attached to the bike activated and a violent explosion sounded.

“Kyaaah!!”

The shock shook her body, and Yuna rolled behind her and rolled on her floor.

Fortunately, the injury was not serious. It was because the bike exploded at close range, but no fragments flew.

I tried to figure out what the hell was going on, but her strong noise and shock made my eyes dizzy and my ears rang loudly.

“Uh, sister… !”

What happened to her escort? She staggers at the first thought and pulls her body up. Chae Yeon-seo was lying on the floor with blood all over her body amidst the cloud of dust and black smoke.

Her moment sent chills down her spine.

“Sister!”

“Ah, lady… Kut!”

Good thing. Still alive Even though she was about to burst into tears from her relief, Yuna calmly examined the extent of her injuries. The impact of the explosion broke her whole body bones and shredded her bike all over her body.

She was fortunate enough to escape a vital point, but she could die if not taken to the hospital quickly.

“Bar, careless… sorry….”

“Don’t talk! Be at ease.”

“Phil… second… careful….”

Having said that, Chae Yeon-seo dropped her head and lost consciousness.

At the moment of the explosion, Yuna was able to escape thanks to Chae Yeon-seo blocking most of the fragments with her body. Even though, as her Class A Awakener, she could have noticed the explosion and avoided it at that moment. She was grateful for that fact, but at the same time she judged the situation coolly.

‘From the beginning… It was an attack on her sister!’

Anyone starting a bike would have thought it was an escort. The firepower of the bomb was controlled so meticulously. So that she, her target, would not get caught up in the blast and exactly disable only her escort.

It was the work of a person who knew the two of them well. Even those who know the location of the secret passage and the existence of the means of transportation must be… !

Trumbling. Someone’s footsteps were heard at the entrance of the passageway through which the two had escaped.

A tidy step that rings at regular intervals. It was a familiar silhouette, recognizable even in the dark.

“You were here too. Miss.”

“Philip….”

“I’m glad you’re all right. I was really worried.”

A friendly smile and polite gestures as always. I want to inadvertently be fooled by his usual appearance.

If Chae Yeon-seo was like an older sister to her, Phillip was like an older brother. She was the kind of person who smiled and pampered no matter what unreasonable demands she made from her home country. She has always been able to trust and depend on her.

“Don’t come closer.”

“Hmm?”

That’s why it was even more shocking.

I never thought Philip was a traitor.

Flash! Clap. Yuna pulled out her own sniper rifle with her item crystal and aimed it at her Phillip.

“There are only three people who know about this passageway and can act in advance. Me, Yeonseo unnie, and Philip you.”

“I don’t know. I just came to put you in a safe place.”

“Lies… Then why is my sister dying like this, but she doesn’t ask anything, and she doesn’t even worry!?”

“… ….”

Philip’s friendly smile hardened coldly.

A silence like eternity flows. Then, twisting the corner of his mouth, he said.

“After… miss. It would have been nice if you had just followed me.”

That was the decisive blow. Yuna pulled her trigger without hesitation.

Taang!! With a strong recoil that shook her whole body, 7.62Mm magic bullets were fired at a speed of 868m/sec.

A bullet that, if hit properly, could burst a human’s fragile skull like a mashed tomato, flew towards Philip’s leg.

But the bullet had no effect on Philip. It was because the bullet passed Philip in front of him as if it were an illusion and stuck to the floor.

“What… ?!”

“Ha ha ha! Miss. Are you aiming for my leg?”

Philip tapped my forehead with his finger.

“You should have aimed here just now. It’s because you have such a soft personality… That’s why the lady can’t beat the vice president.”

For an instant, Philip’s body went blurry. Taang! Yuna pulled the trigger again, but this time her bullet passed through vainly without any effect.

Reappearing like her ghost, Philip grabbed Yuna by the neck and lifted her up into the air.

“Kuk, kuk, heuk… !”

“It is useless. Physical attacks no longer work on me, who made a contract with the devil and became an indeterminate being! hahahaha. No matter how hard a bullet tries, it can’t contain the aura. Isn’t that why the lady tried to make a gunblade or something like that?”

A contract with the devil? Does that mean that Philip is a devil worshiper? In pain, she dropped the sniper rifle and grabbed Philip’s arm. However, despite her weak strength, Philip’s arm did not budge.

Transparent tears formed in Yuna’s eyes from betrayal and despair.

“What the hell… why… ?”

“You asked why? hehehe… Rather, I will ask. Did you really think that the vice-president wouldn’t know that the young lady was developing her strength in this far away country and doing tricks secretly?”

Philip gave a mean smile and tightened his grip.

“Ouch… !”

“Yeah. I was really surprised. I can’t believe the lady made a plan to attack the tower by forming a guild! Indeed, when the vice president of the world heard about the plan, he was at a loss for words. Couldn’t you have felt sorry for the young lady’s recklessness?”

The absorption and gunblade business of the Serim Group are all superficial works.

Yuna Claprot’s real purpose was to fill the void she had left due to the dissolution of her A-class guild, the Dark Heaven Alliance. She secretly recruits excellent hunters to form a guild, negotiates with the government, and acquires the right to conquer the tower faster than anyone else.

Participating in the Guild Fair was one of the deals for that. Using Claprot’s black jade as bait, cooperate with the public security to wipe out the devil worshipers. Although the devil’s machinations almost brought about the worst… Fortunately, the worst did not happen because Kim Yi-jin and Yoon Seo-hee were there.

“The vice president also attracted attention at first, thinking that he would surely fail… Strangely, the plan went smoothly. What a joke of fate But is it because it’s the president’s bloodline?”

Yuna’s complexion gradually turned white. Her consciousness blurs and her eyelids feel heavy. Philip was happily watching Yuna with a sadistic smile.

“Kkeok…ぅ… Whoa… !”

“I really feel sorry for you, ma’am. She would rather not have gone through such a terrible situation if she had not been able to do anything and was just making porridge.”

Yuna slowly lost her consciousness as the sense of despair surged through her.

Where did it go wrong? Was I betrayed because I was lacking? Would something have been different if I had been more thorough?

With difficulty, she only rolled her eyes and looked at her unconscious Chae Yeon-seo. She has a significant amount of blood loss. If I get caught like this, Yeonseo will surely die.

It’s because of me. A drop of tear flowed down Yuna’s white cheek.

“Ah, lady… ! Even if it looks like this… You are very beautiful.”

Philip smiled eerily, his expression full of joy. I wanted to lick those greedy tears. She wanted everything to be her own. Always, ever since she was very young, she had hoped for it.

Of course, that’s impossible. Even if the president loses his power and becomes such a shabby existence, she is a woman who must be handed over to the vice president someday.

But she’s in her own hands now. In the meantime, I was able to do whatever I wanted. Philip’s shady desire fluctuated so much that he could not control himself. I’ve been patient for so long to even endure this moment.

The moment Philip pushed her face closer to Yuna to lick her tears, a dark trail crossed between Philip and Yuna.

Booung-! Awesome!

“Quaaa!!”

Philip’s right arm flew through the air. He would have had his throat cut if he hadn’t pulled his head back in an instant.

“Hello?”

The boy raised her head up high and smiled viciously.

It was a devilish laugh.

“And goodbye, you bastard.”

A black scythe flew at Philip’s neck.
