Chapter 36

“Shit! I don’t know! The running form looks like it will kill us, and this is the special situation that Chief Do was talking about, now! Attack now! The attack is a priority!”

Yoo Sueun grabbed Han Sueon’s arm, a long-distance dealer of the raid, and screamed.

Then, as if it was a signal, the enemy stomped her feet and jumped high into the air.

Han Sueon, who pulled the terrified Yoo Sueun backwards, immediately chanted a spell and waved his hand.

“Characteristic transformation, lightning strike.”

A deep blue light condensed under the palm of his hand, and with a crackling sound, lightning shot out.

At the same time as the skill was activated, Han Sueon’s blue eyes shone brightly.

【’Title—The man who lost his sight’ activated. Expands your field of vision. You can hit anything you see.]

Special eyes secured the field of vision. The enemy’s figure that entered the field of vision had a significantly wider view than usual.

The spear of lightning he held in his hand flew towards the specified enemy.

The spear that received the effect of the title must hit the enemy.

However, the woman struck the lightning with the bloody knife she held in her hand.

The scattered electric current came around him and squeezed his whole body, but he was still smiling in the midst of it.

Ah, at that moment, the four of them met the eyes of the woman. Everyone’s body stiffened.

Pure golden colored eyes that did not fade even in the midst of the fiercely blazing lightning.

What resided within them was so strong that even the S-Rank felt scared for a moment.

Everyone realized. That this was a monster.

【The fear of the Awakened ‘Yoo Sueun’ has exceeded the threshold! ‘Title — Save Me’ has been forcibly activated!]

The moment Yoo Sueun felt the fear of being killed, a huge golden shield fell between the party and the enemy.

It was the unique skill called ‘Last Barrier’ that was automatically activated when Yoo Sueun, who valued ​​her own safety the most, felt more than simple fear.

In an instant, the lightning was extinguished by the strong protective power emitted by the shield, and the enemy was thrown away.

“It stopped.”

When the woman’s gaze was cut off, the first ones to come to their senses were Do Junyoung and Jeong Hoyoung.

This was their only chance.

The two drew their swords and ran forward. And the moment when Jeong Hoyoung was about to activate her stealth skill.

“Wait! Calm down! C-Carm downu!”

Everyone flinched at the sound of a harsh voice that resounded around them. If it was any other time, they would never let their guard down during a battle, but……

‘Korean?’

Their feet stopped at the words that felt so familiar to the ears. Even the English that followed was Konglish*.

(Aka it is written in Korean letters but pronouncing sounds similar to the english word)

“Uh? You understand what I’m saying right now?! So, are you Koreans?!”

The four of them looked at the woman behind the shield with strange eyes.

The enemy that ran so fast and threatening was actually the enemy running around excitedly like a dog out for a walk.

“Right! Wow! The gate was connected to Korea! Thank God! Wow, to be so lucky from the start.”

After seeing the illusion that the dog’s tail was spinning like a propeller behind her back, the four of them even wondered if they had been hit by a skill.

“How long has it been since I have spoken Korean like this! After all, hometown is the best! That’s right, can I go there? Come on, I won’t do anything!”

The woman threw down her weapon she was holding.

The dreadful bladed weapon that hit Han Sueon’s lightning bolt head-on was scattered all over the place.

“Shit, what is that?”

Yoo Sueun, who regained her composure, scolded her. There was anger at herself who felt fear at such a thing.

“If you don’t feel safe even after this, you can tie me up. It’s ok, it’s ok. Having met a strong person like me, of course, it’s scary. I understand!”

“Fuck! I’m not afraid! Who says it’s scary! You crazy bastard!”

Yoo Sueun, who felt numb in her feet, yelled at her. But that only made the eccentric woman more happy.

“Do you really understand what I’m saying? What should I do, I’m about to cry! To meet people from my hometown like this!”

The woman covered her mouth with both hands and burst into tears. Do Junyoung, who was slowly starting to get confused, touched his forehead.

“People from your hometown. Are you really Korean? Why the hell are you here?”

“I got caught up in the gate, huh? It’s been a while. Man, I thought I’d live here for the rest of my life.”

“Does that mean you’ve been here a long time?”

“Of course. Because I was here before the gate you passed through.”

Do Junyoung’s face hardened at the woman’s words.

“Since when……?”

“Curious? 500 won if you are curious!”

A cold silence descended again. Yoo Sueun spit out abusive language again.

“Looking at that old-fashioned joke, perhaps you really are Korean?”

Her doubts were gone, and only her absurdity remained.

“It seems she is one of the Awakened who disappeared after being swept away by the dungeon.”

Jeong Hoyoung, who often helped the association through Song Hanna, quickly came up with an answer.

Her strength that was enough to make Yoo Sueun feel fear was probably the result of her struggling to survive in this dungeon.

The faces of Jeong Hoyoung and Han Sueon were filled with pity.

“I am Do Junyoung, the head of the management office of the Korea Awakened Management Association. Until the situation is identified, the association will secure your recruits. I will ensure you are safe until it is determined that you are not a dangerous person.”

It was the first time seeing a missing person again. There were so many things they needed to hear.

“I don’t mind anything as long as you take me away! So exciting! Thank you so much!”

At Do Junyoung’s words, the bright woman smiled brightly.

It must have been a happy smile, but strangely enough Do Junyoung looked so sad as if he could shed tears and couldn’t take his eyes off of her.

It was as if an old dream had come true.

The woman, who identified herself as Jarim, meekly handed over her weapon and crossed her gate, bound.

The moment she came out of her gate with her daunting face.

【Congratulations! The second L-rank awakening has been born in Korea!】

The second surprising message shook the eyes of all the awakened people in Korea.

And it was the same for Seora.

The birth of an L-Rank Awakened. Isn’t everything going the same as when she first met Kang Sejun?

Seora looked into the air, anxiously biting her nails.

‘Elizabeth-ssi. Can you tell me that this time, it’s not a regressor……?’

She couldn’t bring herself to speak.

No, please don’t.

Did he hear her earnest wish?

【Administrator: X(´ω`)X】

She was truly relieved by the message from the administrator who came back. Yes, having one was a scam, but having two was just the destruction of the world.

‘Regressor……. Otherwise, what the hell is it this time?’

【Administrator: ₍₍ ◝(•ω•)◟ ⁾⁾】

Shit. You won’t tell me any important thing anyways.

Fortunately, there was another person who she could rip the information out of. Seora immediately took out her cell phone and looked through her phone book.

The name she was looking for was ‘Absolutely Avoid.’

Since he regressed five times, he was a regressor who must have a lot of information.

She was going to block him right away after receiving the money, but somehow she ended up having to contact him first.

Seora sent a text message right away. And in the reply she received not long after…….

[I don’t know either. There has never been a time when a new L-Rank appeared during this period.]

— was written.

Her cell phone fell from her weak hands.

An L-Rank appearance that not even the regressor knew about?

[Be careful not to be noticed. If it’s an L-Rank, they might notice something strange.]

‘Oh, shit.’

Seora’s face turned pale.

If it is an L-Rank, the association would definitely try to contact them, and then, of course, the chance of meeting her would naturally increase!

‘What kind of a mountain beyond the mountain is this?’

She thought she had barely crossed a mountain where the wind was blowing, but it was like a burning mountain appeared in front of her eyes.

Next to her was a beautiful sea called Quit, why did she have to climb over the burning mountain?

Standing in her resentment, Seora groaned as she put her head on her desk.

Until then, she didn’t know at all. That the L-Rank Awakener in question had already arrived at the place, the association.

Unfortunately, the fire had already spread to her feet.

***

Seora thought.

‘I really need to go ride a straw cutter.’

(Straw cutter is the tool used by shaman’s)

This was no longer just about breaking out of the path of bad luck.

It was clear that she had been thrown onto the autobahn heading to the apex of misfortune.

If not, there was no way to meet the L-Rank awakened again at the Association!

‘Or is the association a center of misfortune?’

Seora lowered her body as flat as possible.

If a single strand of her hair was caught, it was obvious that the L-Rank awakened would see it.

‘As strong as Regressor-ssi.’

Is there a sudden increase of two strong players in Korea? Isn’t this a balance break? Even after the start of the Hunter era, Cheonjo-guk, who has maintained its unwavering No.

“Wow. This is the first time I have been in an association since my first awakening! Isn’t it strange that I was even escorts by an S-Rank?”

Unlike Kang Sejun, this L-Rank-ssi was busy running around like a puppy.

Thanks to this, Seora became more confused and had to hide her body.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

Gong Haeyeon looked at her with an absurd look, but she ignored it.

“It’s not an escort, it’s a surveillance. Oh, this dog! Stay Calm!”

“Ouch! Ah! Hey, why are you so mean to me? Huh? Because I’m strong, it’s only natural that you’re afraid of me!”

“This bastard’s mouth! I am going to tear it apart right now!”

Yoo Sueun screamed and pulled Jarim’s mouth with her two hands.

Han Sueon snorted his nose as if pathetic, and turned his head in the opposite direction, while Do Junyoung wrapped his forehead.

Even Jeong Hoyoung was just staring blankly, so she was almost suspicious of how the four of them started working together.

“Oh my, Sueun. Was she that scary? Well, that’s understandable.”

At that time, Song Hanna, who she didn’t even know when she arrived, suddenly reached out her hand and grabbed Yoo Sueun by the back of her neck and lifted her up.

Song Hanna, who patted the Chihuahua’s ass, glanced over at the new L-Rank Awakener with a smiling face.
