Chapter 198 Bang
Bang Bang Bang!
With the sound of Lee Si-woo’s gunshot, the heads of the hidden toy soldiers exploded. Despite so many shots, not a single bullet missed.
‘...Is this me at the age of 7?’
In Korea, one of the world’s leading hunter powerhouses, there were not a few children who received elite education from a young age and raised their dreams of becoming hunters. However, 7-year-old Lee Si-woo was special among them.
Just treating it as a ‘product of elite education’ couldn’t explain even one tenth of its genius.
However, ironically, it was his father Lee Seong-hwan, the object he hated the most, who measured Lee Si-woo’s potential more accurately than anyone else.
[It’s too much to say that he’s a genius. If you teach it, you will follow it easily. Unlike those with good sense.]
Lee Seong-hwan met numerous mercenaries and hunters until he became the president of City Guard. However, the reason why Lee Si-woo was especially thought of was not marksmanship.
[A shooting genius? No, that’s a story I don’t know anything about. That guy’s true value is not like that.]
Lee Seong-hwan looked at his eldest son, Lee Si-hyeok, and narrowed his thick eyes and said with a happy face.
[...What he’s good at is combat itself.]
Lee Si-hyeok made a puzzled expression.
For Lee Si-woo, who handles guns, combat was the art of marksmanship.
[Battle... you mean?]
Lee Seong-hwan clicked his tongue as if he was dumbfounded by Lee Si-hyuk’s appearance, then added an explanation.
[Have you ever seen a wild beast? Although they do not learn knowledge separately and live only in the given narrow ecology. Everyone knows the reason to survive.]
Seonghwan Lee sat down on a chair and pretended to twist someone’s neck with his hand.
[chamberlain. If a deer and a lion fight, who do you think will win?]
[If you’re lucky, you might be able to escape. Of course the deer...]
[Yes. It’s a no-brainer story. ... Then, who do you think would win if you and I fought against each other?]
Lee Si-hyeok remained silent at Lee Seong-hwan’s sudden question.
[That’s...]
[No one can say for sure. Humans are not as simple as animals. We use weapons, not claws. He doesn’t choose any means to win... But Siwoo’s intuition is like that of a wild one.]
Tak.
Seonghwan Lee put down his pistol and said. Weapons are items that allow you to subdue villains and monsters. It was all of the city guards.
[How strong the opponent is and whether you can win. or lose not intuitively aware. However, unlike beasts, this guy has my tactics to turn the situation around.]
Lee Si-hyeok carefully listened to Lee Seong-hwan’s story and asked cautiously.
[That means...]
[There are no second chances in the wild. Mistakes are death. That’s what fighting is for him. If you’re not sure, never watch a match. That’s what I value him for.]
Lee Si-hyeok was also aware of Lee Si-woo’s genius. The process that most hunters gain through mistakes, Lee Si-woo knew before going into battle. It was proof that accurate results could be produced only with simulations in the head.
[Then, that must be the strength that City Guard really needs.]
[Yes. From shooting to tactics, he is no match for Hunter. In the Hunter world, it’s just an ordinary shooter with F-class characteristics. Rather, he is a person like me who fits the position of president.]
That’s how Lee Si-woo, when friends of the same age learned numbers and calculations, shot while cooling off residual heat in the bitter cold. Becoming a spy, he learned to hide his emotions and laugh, and killed the monster by aiming the gun at him.
The thrill I had when I first picked up the gun was gone, and the shooting I loved the most turned into the thing I hated the most.
‘That’s 10 years.’
The younger Lee Si-woo looked at his gun. Even during the national competition, he thought it was because he had no choice but to hold a gun. I didn’t think it was fun to hold a gun anymore.
But that wasn’t it.
‘As expected, I...’
Let’s look at the gun and smile at the younger Lee Si-woo. Amy felt an indescribable dread.
‘He’s smiling at the toy soldiers with their heads blown off...’
She didn’t know until now, but Amy was convinced.
‘I’m scared of Siu Lee! It’s gone!’
However, Amy doesn’t say anything about Lee Si-woo’s great performance and just notices it. However, contrary to Amy’s misunderstanding, Lee Si-woo was recalling the memories he had with Sakura.
[How about 500 meters today? The loser grants wishes~ Huh?]
At first, it was just a little nerve-wracking, but now, to be honest, I enjoyed every day with Sakura. I hate to admit it, but it was true that I was relieved by the warm life I had with Sakura.
[Is shooting a gun difficult?]
[Why should I learn?]
[Just. curious. uh? Hehe~ Why do you teach me?]
[...Then you should also bow. Teach me.]
The pounding that continued like the day I first grabbed the gun.
[Yum.]
It was a good thing.
[Idiot~ What do you eat like that~]
Lee Si-woo’s bad memories about guns were being overwritten with happy memories before he knew it.
‘It must be because of Sakura.’
Even though it is difficult to express embarrassment.
Lee Si-woo was aware of his change. And he was grateful that all of those changes were thanks to Sakura.
“It’s fun to shoot...”
Suddenly, Siwoo Lee muttered to himself, and Amy’s face turned into a tearful look.
Despite her young age, Adela’s ability was considerable. Adela, who immediately started calculating, created an ice platform under the new meteor’s feet.
fault! fault! fault!
The moment his foot touches the scaffolding, Yoosung Shin continues to jump and climb up. As the distance between the two narrowed, Yoosung Shin applied mana to both legs.
fault!
Wolyeongbobeop (月影步法)
The figure of Shin Yooseong leaping from the ice platform was engraved in the air as a remnant.
Shin Yoo-seong, who reverses the power of the fall and catches the two. Before I knew it, Shin Yoo-seong’s left and right hands were holding Lee Si-woo and Amy.
* * *
The cave where the prisoners were taken.
Kim Eun-ah, who went into Orca’s mouth, grumbled for no reason, perhaps because she was bored.
“Huh. Sumire. I want to go out and fight...”
“If we get out of this prison, we can fight too...”
Sumire then stroked Kim Eun-ah’s head. Kim Eun-ah, who had been drooping, gained strength for some reason.
“that’s right! Suddenly, the cave collapsed and the iron bars shattered? Then I can do everything!”
After seeing Sumire being captured, Kim Eun-ah seemed to have somewhat lost her fear of using electricity.
Kim Eun-ah’s will is that she can use electricity even if she is afraid to protect Sumire and her colleagues.
“I hope Yooseong comes to save me.”
“You will definitely come.”
“okay? That’s right~ But isn’t Sumire cold? I...if it were you, I’d let you hug the orca!”
When Kim Eun-ah patted the orca’s fins and used her kindness, Sumire couldn’t refuse her favor.
“...then can we hug for a bit?”
“of course. But you know what no one else can do? Only you.”
In the end, Sumire hugged Orca.
Then, I felt Kim Eun-ah’s movements wriggling inside the orca.
‘This sure healing...’
For Sumire, who likes cute things, the combination of the soft touch of a doll and the younger Kim Eun-ah was quite good.
That’s when the fatigue from attacking the tower melts away.
Kwaaaaang!!
The ceiling of the cave shattered, revealing familiar faces.
“I said I was here.”
Lee Si-woo, who shines in his eyes with his characteristic.
“Kya-kya, did everyone get caught? Am I the winner who survived so far?”
Amy makes a V with her fingers.
“...a cute doll.”
It was the moment when everyone finally came together, including Adela, who showed interest in Orca, and the party became complete.
* * *
Talking feels good right now.
District 1.
District 2.
District 3.
‘I was able to handle it easily thanks to two people divided into each zone.’
Now that Kim Eun-ah and Sumire are captured.
If only the remaining 4 were defeated, Toy King could win this battle.
‘okay. i have a goal I’m not a small pony to fall here.’
Most of the bosses were unaware of the challenger, but Toking was clearly aware of the top and challenger.
It was thanks to the characteristics of Toking, which moved consciousness to various objects.
So Toy King was, at most, a 3rd class boss, a miserable job. Just as Laplace, a high-ranking boss, has memories of the previous world, Toyking also had memories of the previous world and knowledge of the tower.
A unique case that is rare in the Tower.
Toking, who made the war advantageous with that knowledge, confirmed the situation again.
‘Then shall we check where the rest of them are?’
However, Siwoo Lee and Amy were not in District 1 of the monitor.
‘uh?’
Likewise, Shin Yoo-seong and Adela were not present in District 2.
‘Hmm!?’
After changing the screen to District 3, Toy King hit the desk made of blocks with the teddy bear’s fist.
“what’s this....”
Shin Yoo-seong calmly twists the neck of a toy soldier. Amy tries to strangle her with a whip. Kim Eun-ah wielding an orca as a weapon and taking pictures of matchless people.
Adela freezes opponents with one gesture. Siwoo Lee who built a huge mountain with the remains of soldiers. Sumire cheering while summoning the skeletons.
One of the enemies that Toy King has faced since ruling Toy World.
‘How do I win this.’
Shin Yoo-seong’s party was the strongest ever.
