22 – Hero (5)

Baek Chi-yeol was always alone until he entered the academy.

After getting a job called ‘mental attacker’, which he secretly took while he was young.

It was because I had a habit of letting the thoughts that popped into my head come out of my mouth without filtering them.

In a way, it was the nature of the job to easily break the opponent’s spirit.

Because of that damn characteristic, people around me left the idiocy one by one.

As far as the academy though.

I tried to fix this habit somehow and build a proper friendship.

However, in the end, he made a mistake during the sparring with Lee Hyeon-seong.

It was the same this time too.

After swearing at his parents, which he couldn’t tolerate, he was abandoned by his friends.

I was sad, but I couldn’t help it.

He thought everything was his karma.

Afterwards, he bowed down and apologized to Lee Hyun-seong.

I didn’t ask for forgiveness.

Because water that has already been spilled cannot be put back.

Even if I was beaten, I decided to accept it.

But contrary to expectations, Lee Hyeon-seong forgave himself so easily. I even accepted him as a friend.

He seemed like a completely different person from what I had seen from afar since high school.

Apart from the feeling of gratitude, respect rose up.

Lee Hyun-seong’s personality, seen up close, became infinitely better than before.

To be able to repent of the past and change one’s personality to such an extent.

It was great and respectful.

He also showed hope that if he worked harder, he might be able to improve this rotten habit.

In order to do that, I decided to change my personality first by imitating Lee Hyun-seong.

I know it won’t be easy, but I didn’t give up because there was a precedent in Lee Hyun-seong.

And the more I was with Lee Hyun-seong, the more I felt that I was being influenced by him.

***

It was an illusion.

Baek Chi-yeol realized that he was not influenced by Lee Hyun-seong.

In order to have such a good personality, he went to volunteer work and made donations, but the essential aspect remained the same.

Baek Chi-yeol felt sorry for himself.

When the rainbow bird’s feathers aim for the western light.

I was disgusted with myself for not being able to do anything because I was terrified.

The reaction was slow because of body aches, but I thought it was just an excuse.

At least I should have taken a step.

I should have tried to save it.

Unlike your ugly self.

Lee Hyeon-seong sacrificed his body to save Seo Han-bit.

It was like the hero I saw in cartoons when I was young.

I was even more in awe of the human named Lee Hyun-seong.

‘I also···.’

After Seo Han-bit used a healing skill and fainted.

Rainbow Bird’s feathers flew one after another.

Lee Hyun-seong is turning his back on that direction.

Baek Chi-yeol thought he was the only one who could save him.

‘I want to change.’

like he just did.

Like a hero in a cartoon.

Baek Chi-yeol opened his arms and blocked the front of Jjam Hyeon-seong.

***

It can be seen that Baek Chi-yeol suddenly jumps up to protect Jjam Hyeon-seong.

Why is he like that again?

It’s not a sacrifice relay, what are you trying to do?

I got out of the body of the iron rice bowl that I was possessed by and immediately took possession of the body of Zhao Hyunseong.

And in front of him, Baek Chi-yeol, who was claiming to be a human shield, was pulled out by a hair’s breadth.

Fufufufu!

One more time.

A large amount of feathers were stuck in the body of the sagittarius.

Although this time I’m in the position of being possessed…

Perhaps it was because the body was not solid, and even though the piercings were very evenly distributed from the face to the body, no pain was felt.

“Tongue, Hyeonseong-ah!?”

Baek Chi-yeol, whose face had turned pale, exclaimed in surprise.

I casually pulled out the feathers stuck in my face.

At the same time, as the distorted face was restored naturally, Baek Chi-yeol took a step back and trembled as if he had seen a monster.

“… uh, uh uh? How are you alive…?”

-Why did you want me to die?

“Your head was pierced just now?!”

-People don’t die easily.

An explanation will come later.

It’s not like there’s so much room left.

“Was it possible for a person to live even if his head was pierced…?”

─Don’t worry about unnecessary things, wake Seo Hanbit first.

While the possessed iron rice bowl is holding Rainbow Bird.

The number of monsters was increasing.

Birds who became active because of the cold light.

New monsters that followed.

It is an amount that is difficult to block with stone golems alone.

Even more problematic…

‘…wasn’t it just one?’

The point is that another rainbow bird has appeared.

‘Then he’s not the boss of the dungeon.’

Higher level monsters are invisible.

The boss who materialized due to the dungeon break seemed to have moved in a different direction.

You can’t be relieved though.

Because the situation became very unfavorable at the point when the two Rainbow Birds became two.

─Kaebi, would you like to play against that chicken head?

─Kei!

The courageous kkaebi kicked off the ground and jumped out.

If you’re a bitch

Wouldn’t it be equal to Rainbow Bird, or perhaps even overpower it?

That I had hopes for was futile.

─Keii!

Even in a short clash, the difference in level was visible at a glance.

Even if Kaebi is a monster equivalent to a 3 star.

I couldn’t make up for that huge weight gap.

‘Write. It seems that kkaebi is not good for the upper 3 stars. I think I would have done it if I had a similar physique.’

The effective hit goes in quite a bit…

There was no sign that it would lead to a fatal blow.

Rather, an iron rice bowl with a suitable weight class was more suitable for facing Rainbow Bird.

It would be perfect if the two were combined.

As I was swallowing my regret, Baek Chi-yeol cautiously approached me.

“Do you want to run away? Your summoned beast, no, even Kaebi seems to be having a hard time…”

You have to sound sensible.

What do you think is the fundamental reason why you couldn’t get out of this position?

The monsters were holding people back so they couldn’t chase them, but the main reason was that I couldn’t run away because of my speed.

─What about running away, at our speed, we catch up quickly. Rather than that, did you contact the emergency measures department?

“Oh right···. I was in a hurry and forgot… I was there… I’m sorry.”

Baek Chi-yeol answered in a crawling voice.

vary

Somehow, why didn’t you come like this?

Following Seo Hanbit, what do you do then…

Even if he requested assistance from the Emergency Response Department now, it was unreasonable to hold out until it arrived.

The slang words rose up to my throat in a feeling of stuffiness, but I tried to suppress it and cool my anger.

─Okay, wake up early from Seo Hanbit.

“It doesn’t wake up even when I shake it…?”

-At least hit the cheek.

‘Can I do that?’ It seemed to contain the same concerns.

I really don’t have time.

He passed Baek Chi-yeol at a quick pace and approached Seo Han-bit lying on the floor.

Jab-!

Let’s slap one cheek,

“Uh, uh…”

Seo Han-bit groaned as if he had come to his senses a little and tossed and turned.

Damn! match!

It seemed that he was still in a drowsy state, so he slapped his cheek in succession.

I didn’t hold a grudge because I passed out after pooping. maybe.

-Get up quickly.

“Ugh…?”

Seo Han-bit lifts his eyelids only when his eyes turn red.

The moment you raise your hand one more time to come to your senses quickly.

“Hee-ik… That, stop…!”

-Ah, you’re awake.

Seo Han-bit, who had regained his senses, wiggled his arms ridiculously and controlled his upper body.

“Lee Hyun-seong…?”

Then he stared at my face for a while, putting on a stupid expression.

It was only for a while that I just opened my mouth like a goldfish.

“Mo, are you feeling well?!”

It was then that he remembered what had happened before he passed out.

─As you can see, it’s fine.

“…everything, it’s good. I can’t remember, but it seems my healing has reached…”

yes. It reached the demons very well.

I wanted to remind him of his previous actions and make him realize what he had done.

It hurts more because of you.

Such complaints were not mentioned because it was not too late even after the battle was over.

─Seo Han-bit. You can easily hit at least one wide shield that covers the monsters over there, right? Hit one right now.

“Oh, speaking in a casual way earlier… no, that’s not important now…. Why is the wide area shield all of a sudden? Are you doing this to trap the monsters?”

─It’s roughly the same. If possible, please do it quickly before all my summons die. A kind of protective shield that blocks even the field of view.

Why are you making this request?

It was inevitably used as a last resort.

The war situation changed unfavorably in an instant.

While I couldn’t think of a way to lead this situation to my advantage.

Suddenly, Seo Han-bit’s sub-job ‘protective angel’ came to mind.

If you hit a shield with that job.

It was also possible to bring out a trump card that could surely slaughter the monsters.

“Hyeonseong-nim. At that range, the durability of the shield is far less. If Rainbow Bird attacks, it will break in less than a minute…?”

I’m chasing this again

Do you think the pink poop is in a position to voice an opinion?

I cooled down and replied that the fire was about to start.

─It doesn’t matter. It is used to block the view from outside and inside. Don’t talk nonsense, put up a shield around the monsters, including me.

“Yeah? Are you going to go together? why···?”

-Don’t ask why, quickly.

When I urged him with a frown, Seo Han-bit shrank like a frightened puppy.

“Ah, okay…”

─I warn you, no matter what, don’t remove the shield until 30 minutes have passed.

“I’m sure it will break before then…”

─It won’t break, so don’t unlock it, yo.

“···Yeah.”

Having received a definite answer, I lowered my voice as much as I could and added my words seriously.

“If you cancel it, everyone will die together, so keep that in mind.”

To imprint on what is so important.

“Hyeonseong-ah…”

And, ignoring Baek Chi-yeol, who tried to dissuade me with a trembling voice, he led Jjam Hyeon-seong’s body forward without hesitation.

***

I opened my distance with Seo Han-bit and turned my head slightly to check the back.

‘…It activates quite quickly.’

The huge hemispherical protective shield is slowly unfolding.

‘But are you okay? I was trembling earlier because of my blood phobia, so why am I fine now?’

while having such doubts.

The completed protective film covered the surroundings.

Inside, monsters and summoned beasts.

and i was standing

─Whoa…

If Seo Han-bit hadn’t pooped.

No, if Baek Chi-yeol had properly contacted the emergency department.

I wouldn’t have had to use it this way.

I sigh at the thought of bringing out the reluctant and disgusting means that I did not want to use so much.

I immediately released the possession.

“Sam Hyun-seong suffered. Now come back into the encyclopedia.”

The protective film is complete,

Now it has become an isolated space cut off from the outside world.

‘I’m sure it’ll be fine since I blocked my view.’

First of all, I restored the castle, summoned Dwarf No. 2 in the encyclopedia, and handed over the things I had left.

It was a simple water bottle containing cheap and strong liquor.

“All of you are now returning.”

─Keii…

Kkaebi, who was engaged in a close battle with Rainbow Bird from a little distance away, sent a worried look.

Hesitating whether to listen to this order or not.

“You don’t have to worry. Because there won’t be any problem. maybe···.”

That’s how the kkaebi, iron rice bowl, and stone golems were all restored.

When all the summoned beasts disappeared, the eyes of the demons all turned to me.

“What are you looking at, stupid? If it were me, I would have jumped in right away and tore it to death.”

It was truly a spectacle to see them riding on the spirit of being an intelligent body.

I sneered and opened the lid of the bottle of liquor.
