I am her older brother

Hortson gritted his teeth at the feeling of intimidation that weighed down his entire body.

Time in Seoul seems to have stopped.

Superhumans, hunters, and even monsters stopped attacking each other and looked at the firebird.

Hortson was troubled.

‘Should I give up on them?’

You can’t kill the firebird.

That’s because it’s a very powerful monster known to be able to fight against at least two of the top five heroes.

Would it be called a disaster?

In the end, all she can do is protect and protect someone from that demon.

So, who should we keep and who should we protect?

That was exactly what Hortson was thinking about.

If you want to protect them as Prince Lamba commanded, you have no choice but to distance yourself from Lamba, and if you want to go back to protect Lamba, you have no choice but to give up on them.

‘It can’t be helped.’

The time to worry didn’t last long.

The most important thing for a knight of the Ramott family is the life of the family head and his blood relatives.

Hortson made up his mind to return to Lamba.

“all… … .”

It was when he was about to give orders to the knights.

In the static battlefield, he could see the only moving person in his eyes.

‘no!’

It stands out even more because he moves alone in a static situation.

A superman riding a unicorn rushing towards the small sun.

It was Ramba.

* * *

As Pendrick sat on Lamba’s head and stretched out his staff, the temperature around the firebird began to drop rapidly.

A snowstorm rages.

Frost landed on the firebird’s body, and when it touched fire, it evaporated and created steam.

As Lamba got closer, the phenomenon got worse, and the appearance of the firebird finally became like a ball of fire trapped in a cloud.

Knock knock.

A touch on the head made Lamba stop the unicorn.

“why?”

[It will be dangerous to go any closer, Lamba.]

The dangerous thing is not Pandrick, the cat phantom, but Lamba himself.

[It is true that the cloth protects you from external forces, but there are limits to that as well. So far… Kyaong!]

Pandrick shouted loudly, adding strength to the hand holding the staff.

It was because the fire bird, trapped in the clouds, was twisting and flapping its wings.

At that strong resistance, Pandrick glared at the fire bird with a melancholy face.

‘This Pandrick can’t do anything about a guy like that!’

Lamba felt Pendrick’s anger without hesitation.

“I wish I had been stronger… … . I’m sorry, Pandrick.”

[It’s not your fault. you are still young In fact, just being able to call me at your age is great enough. I’ve lived for thousands of years, but I’ve never seen a contractor as talented as you.]

I know what Pendrick means when he says this.

It is comforting and cheering.

Even so, the bottom line is that you are weak.

Ramba acknowledged and accepted it.

“Okay, let’s go back. I think we’ve done all we can with what we’ve got so far.”

[Good idea. Ask strong humans to catch him, and let’s go catch the scattered small creatures.]

Fendrick, who smiled happily at Lamba’s ability to admit his shortcomings, hardened his face. Because I felt some kind of ominous.

And that ominousness was transmitted to Lamba as it was.

bang!!

The cold air surrounding the fire bird explodes and disperses.

The eyes of the firebird revealed through the clouds.

The Phoenix was looking directly at Lamba.

[We have to run away!]

At that moment, the fire bird opened its mouth.

scoot- scoot-

A fireball is created in front of the open firebird’s mouth.

It is the fireball that gave Martin a second death in the now-disappeared past.

Of course, it is impossible to compare the fireball of the time when all the essence of the firebird was contained with the current one. But the same goes for the Firebird’s opponent. At that time, Martin was a 9-star superman when dealing with the Phoenix, but now Lamba was only a 6-star superman.

In other words, that amount of fireball was enough to drive Lamba to death.

Lamba didn’t know that, but he had a premonition of what would happen the moment he touched it. Pandrick’s feelings were conveyed, adding to the possibility of his premonition.

At this moment, Ramba remembered a conversation he had with Martin a long time ago.

-People like us shouldn’t ignore our intuition.

-What are people like us, brother?

– A superman who deserves to reach the limit of human beings.

-Brother, of course, but… me too?

Patting the surprised Lamba’s head, Martin said.

– Not everyone can have the ability to communicate freely with phantom beasts and deal with them. Besides, you are very talented. If you instantaneously explode all your power, you’ll be able to defeat a superhuman several levels above you. Of course, if you can’t defeat it in one go, you’ll be defeated, and even if you defeat the opponent, you won’t be fine after that.

-I didn’t know my talent was that great.

-I wish I knew by now.

Martin didn’t say anything at the time, but he saw Lamba’s talent as something super-teenage.

Of course, I thought the talents of myself, Alin, and Pedro were more than that.

-But exploding all that power… How can I do it?

-I wonder why?

– Just, maybe the day will come when you will be able to use it someday?

-I don’t know. Still, wouldn’t it be better if that day never came? Anyway, people like us do. When your life is at stake, you can draw on and use power that you didn’t have instinctively. So what hyung wants to say is, don’t ignore your intuition on a daily basis.

-persimmon? I do not know.

-There are times like this. Obviously everything around me seems fine, but I feel strange. At that time, a normal person would be able to say that I am not feeling well today and move on. but you can’t do that If you feel that way, it definitely means something is going on around you.

‘I see.’

Now I know what that feeling is.

Lamba did not ignore Martin’s advice.

‘That’s not dangerous enough.’

If I get hit by that fireball, I don’t think it will end at the line of injury. Of course, since the distance from the firebird is not small, you can avoid it without blocking it, but that seems difficult. No, it seems impossible.

Lamba felt that way and it was the answer.

As I saw when I killed Martin, the Firebird’s fireball has the ability to be sure.

Ramba immediately acted on instinct.

“Go back, Carpenia.”

The summoning was canceled in an instant.

The unicorn, Carpenia, disappeared with her eyes wide open.

When the unicorn they were riding disappeared, Lamba and Pendrick began to fall.

In the meantime, Ramba continued to send summoned beasts back.

The flock of owls from Hokulonian, which were chasing the flying monsters, disappeared, and the locusts of Vitaros also disappeared.

[Ramba!]

Pendrick, realizing that Lamba would also summon him, shouted loudly, but Lamba did not stop.

“See you later, Pandrick.”

[not-]

shook-

Pendrick was also summoned as well.

Left alone, Lamba fell to the ground and took a deep breath.

I shook my head busily.

A summons that can solve this situation comes to mind.

‘Kiathrace… … .’

Phoenix Chiatrace.

It is a phantom beast that is worshiped as a god by phantom beasts in the form of birds.

I’ve never actually summoned her. It was just a short greeting after meeting through another phantom beast.

She was a phantom beast with such a tremendous presence that it was doubtful whether she could be summoned even at 9 stars.

‘If it’s her, she’ll be able to get rid of that phoenix.’

Usually, the power a summoner can produce depends on the summoner’s capacity. That’s why Pendrick, who is quite powerful among the phantom beasts, couldn’t help the Phoenix.

However, Kiathrace’s basic unit of power will be on a different level from the phantom beasts he has summoned so far. Once you start using your strength, even if it’s the minimum power that Chiatrasse gives out, it’s far beyond that level of the Phoenix.

‘So it’s dangerous, but… … .’

The problem is the maintenance of the summons and the aftermath that you have to deal with afterwards.

‘Will it take 2 seconds?’

Even if you take it to the maximum, that will be the limit.

Even after 2 seconds of summoning, your body will not be able to handle Chiatrace.

If you don’t want to die, you must kill the firebird within 2 seconds of summoning her and dissummon her.

Of course, even if you do everything successfully, your condition will deteriorate to the point where you will need to recuperate for a long time. You may lose your ability.

In the first place, it would make no sense to summon such an existence at his level, but somehow Lamba seemed to be able to summon her.

Now that this has happened, I feel like I know what Martin had been talking about before: exploding all your power.

Quung-

The fireball, which had been constantly compressing in front of the firebird’s mouth, finally stopped.

Now is the time to decide.

The moment the Firebird, which had a blazing fire as if it would jump out at any moment, looked at Lamba, missiles flew in from somewhere and hit the Firebird directly.

bang! bang! bang!

Ramba watched the scene with cold eyes.

‘It’s useless.’

If it had been able to kill that much, there wouldn’t have been anything called a disaster in the first place.

Ramba finally made up her mind.

‘Okay, let’s do it!’

If I don’t summon Kiathrace, I’ll die in that fireball anyway.

Ramba closed her eyes.

‘Please help me, Miss Kiathrace.’

Something huge is caught in the image.

The falling sensation disappears.

In the darkness of my vision, Kiathrace appeared.

[Hmm… … .]

A phoenix sitting on a planet as its nest.

A bird looking stronger than a dragon, several kilometers long, was looking at him.

‘This is the real face of Miss Kiathrace… … ?’

It’s not like the fairy in the fantasy I saw when we said hello.

The moment the big eyes turned to him, Lamba felt dizzy.

‘I had the wrong idea of Miss Kiathrace.’

Chiatrace wasn’t just a phantom beast.

The phantom beasts worshiped her like a god, so I vaguely thought she was a great being, but that wasn’t the case.

she was just a god

Would such a being respond to his mere human summons?

‘What is 2 seconds… … .’

Even if she responded to the summons, he would die as soon as she was summoned.

In the first place, that Kiathrace wasn’t something he had to summon.

[Ramba?]

Ramba came to his senses at the clear voice that came through his head.

I forcibly opened my mouth, which would not come out.

“… Do you remember me?”

[Sure. He was the first contractor I saw in almost 30,000 years.]

“… … .”

Lamba was speechless at the sight of her talking about 30,000 years casually.

[So what did you call me for? Are you trying to summon me?]

Kiathrace’s mouth drew a date.

Ramba could see that it was a smile.

“I originally thought so.”

[Haha, that’s daring. If I descend because of you, you will disappear immediately.]

“… I know.”

[No, you don’t know.]

“yes?”

[Not only will the body die, but the soul will also be burned away.]

“okay… … .”

Lamba recognized that summoning her could have consequences worse than being killed by the firebird.

But Ramba did not return.

That bad result is what happens when you only think about yourself.

At the moment of his death, if Kiathrace could get rid of the fire bird, he could save the lives of countless people there.

‘Maybe?’

At that time, Kiathrace’s voice came again.

[Okay.]

“yes?”

[I can kill your enemy at the moment when you summon me and your soul burns away.]

“Have you read my thoughts?”

[yes.]

“What should I do?”

[That’s for you to decide. Whatever choice you make, I will help you.]

Lamba made the decision without much thought.

Whether the body dies or the soul dies, death is the same anyway.

Then it would be better to save someone else and die.

“I have decided.”

[Okay, what did you decide to do?]

“You didn’t read my mind this time, did you?”

[Yes, it’s a decision that depends on your soul. I wanted to hear it directly through your mouth.]

“okay. I… … .”

It was then that Ramba was about to answer.

coo kung-

The space next to Lamba began to distort.

[Who dares to step into my territory without permission!]

Ramba sat down at Kiathrace’s cry filled with anger.

I think I know what it’s like to lose a soul.

At her voice, the distorted space stopped. And soon a voice was heard.

“Let’s listen.”

Tears welled up in Ramba’s eyes.

It’s a voice I’ve missed so much.

The owner of the voice continued.

“I am her older brother.”
