Chapter 83 - A plan [1]

Since dealing with this many people would be troublesome, Jiwoo thought of teleporting out of here. There was not a high possibility of them winning when they were surrounded from all sides by this many. "I have got a plan," Sookyung started, leaning closer to Jiwoo. At his words, Moon Jiwoo raised one of her eyebrows and turned back. Since those men was in no hurry to make an attack on them, Jiwoo decided to listen to what plan Sookyung had in his mind. Although she would probably never vocally admit it, Moon Jiwoo was aware of how Sookyung was smarter than her when it came to dealing with such situations. Jiwoo can at times take foolish decisions. "I will let myself be captured by them," Sookyung stated, "Someone needs to infiltrate into their basement to get the clue about everything, and since I am the Prince, it will be easier for me to go with them." "That's a great plan except that I disagree against it. How will we know where they will be taking you? There is no way you will be able to relay a signal to us. This is completely flawed," Jiwoo spoke out. Sookyung let out a sigh and voiced out, "That's right. What do we do now?" That's when, something came inside Moon Jiwoo's mind, and curving her lips, she smirked slightly. A rush of excitement went through her due to how she was able to come up with this. "Thief, I will let myself be captured," Jiwoo said. Hearing that, Oh Sookyung folded his arms over his ċhėst, and as a stern expression settled on his face, he shook his head. "That's dangerous! How can I let a girl go through that?" Sookyung stated. Raising her hand, Jiwoo hit at the back of Sookyung's head, and staring at him with a bored expression, she spoke out, "Since when did you treat me like a girl? You have really changed. Plus, I have a great plan in my mind.  Don't worry! I am not that foolish to endanger my life. Listen I will start fighting them and clear a path for you," she said, "Since it would be more or less suspicious if you were the only one to teleport. After that, you can leave while I let myself be captured by them." "Wait, Shin Daerin—" Before he was able to continue further, Moon Jiwoo rushed towards the front, and her hand was shining brightly due to the electricity. A purple ball of electric energy formed dun her hand as Oh Sookyung let out a sigh, and shaking his head, he decided to follow after Moon Jiwoo. With the electric ball in her hand, Moon Jiwoo attacked the man standing before the door by connecting her hand with his stomach. The attack sent the man stumbling backwards, and his body fell down. All the men from the other sides began to walk forward, closing in on them. Moon Jiwoo gripped on to Sookyung's wrist while she ȧssessed her surroundings. Jiwoo was not that strategic when it came to fighting; she merely let her instincts do the work for her. Fortunately for her, her instincts were quite trustworthy and reliable when it came to this. The men charged towards both of them, and with a swift movement, Moon Jiwoo took out her weapon. Both of her hands gripped on to the daggers while a jolt of electricity went through them. On the other hand, Oh Sookyung's weapon generated in his hand— a large and shining beautiful sword. As for the men in black, their weapons appeared in their hands as well while they moved forward. Moon Jiwoo made sure to go slightly easy on them for she did not want them all passing out. That would surely be ruining her plans. Same went for Sookyung as well. Although Sookyung had grown to become considerably powerful, he too held back on his strength. Moon Jiwoo struck both the man before her with her dagger. Even though one was able to avoid it, the other hand had the dagger go through almost his ċhėst, and the impact caused him to fly backwards. Seeing that the exit that had been cleared before her, a wide smile formed on to Moon Jiwoo's face, and turning to face Sookyung, she exclaimed, "Quickly! Run away!" After those words left her mouth, Moon Jeioo noticed how he was engaged into fighting with someone, and gripping tightly on to her dagger, Moon Jiwoo blocked the attack the man dressed in black made towards Oh Sookyung with his sword by the blade of her dagger. Taking this was a chance, Sookyung turned his back on Moon Jiwoo, and after a soft squeeze at Jiwoo's shoulder, he ran away from the room although a large amount of guilt and worry weighed down his heart.  Reluctance filled him at the thought of leaving Moon Jiwoo alone, and glancing at that wrist of hers, he wanted to pull her back. However, he knew that she would not be pleased if that were to happen, and seeing how she was confident about this, he wanted to give this a chance as well. At that moment, the words of Min Hyungwon on how the protector was bound to die resonated through his mind, causing him to halt instantly. Clenching his eyes closed tightly, he hoped that no harm will be coming upon Moon Jiwoo from this. The thought of her dying was enough to make his knees tremble. Turning his head back, On Sookyung shouted, "Shin Daerin, you better come back alive! Don't be a loser and die out there! I am waiting for you!" Those words of Oh Sookyung clearly reached into Moon Jiwoo's ears, and a chuckle escaped from her mouth at his words.  She could see how worried he was for her, and Jiwoo felt pleased at that. How long had it been since someone had worried that much for her? Did anyone ever worry for her like this ever? Warmth spread through her ċhėst while her lips curved to form a small smile, and sensing how a man was coming towards her from back, Moon Jiwoo decided to ignore. The man targeted his sword near to her ċhėst, and seeing that how he had no intentions of killing her, Moon Jiwoo let him make the attack on her. Jiwoo thought that she will be frightened from this, but there was nothing like that within her. Maybe because of her instinct or that she was too brave; it could also be due to the fact that someone would genuinely be worrying for me, waiting for her to return. A pain seared through upper body while the sharp blade pierced her body, and a loud gasp escaped from her mouth. The blood stained her clothing red, and staring down, she noticed the amount of blood oozing out of her. Fortunately enough, she had a large amount of blood recently or else this could have become fatal for Moon Jiwoo. Before Moon Jiwoo was able to react to it, someone placed a hand on her shoulder, and a jolt of electricity went through her. Her ċhėst squeezed painfully at it, and she had a difficulty breathing. Being attacked by electricity, Moon Jiwoo finally understood how it felt for her enemy when she attacked them with her electricity although hers was quite powerful. After another wave of electricity went through her body, Moon Jiwoo found it difficult to keep her eyes open much further, and she found herself being very close to losing her consciousness.  Dizziness began to hit her, and knowing that there was no use in delaying further, Moon Jiwoo submitted to this, closing her eyes tightly. Shelet the sleep come to her. Seeing how Moon Jiwoo completely lost her consciousness, the man pulled back the sword from her ċhėst, and since there was no weight supporting her body, Moon Jiwoo's body fell against the ground. °°° Anxiety contaminated Oh Sookyung's mind as he opened the door before him, and his eyes widened when he noticed that there were more men standing before the door. However, seeing that did not cause him to become all that surprised. He had expected for these people to be arranged there, and escaping from them was a piece of cake for him. Seeing how Oh Sookyung was in a mood to let out his stress, he decided to fight against them instead of teleporting out of there. Taking his sword, he charged towards them while increasing his speed. As Sookyung was about to make his first attack, he felt as if something within him sank, and a sharp ache went through his ċhėst. This definitely indicated that Moon Jiwoo was severely wounded. The thought of that made Sookyung almost turn back and regret his decision. Taking in a deep breath, he decided on how he was incapable of doing it. As for how he will be dealing with the enemy, he will think about it later on. Turning his back on the men in black, he made a run towards the house.
