Chapter 153: Riding Doul, Acceleration (2)

Chapter 153: Riding Doul, Acceleration (2)

Heroes always seemed to arrive late in hero stories.

It was the same in this world - heroes mostly didn’t make it to the scene on time.

Why were these so-called heroes always late?

Were they just procrastinating and ended up being late, or did they think that since the incident had already happened, they might as well take their time and enjoy a cup of coffee?

While there were those who acted like this, seeing truly justice-driven individuals like Baek Seol-hee arrive late made me think.

It was not that the heroes were slow.

Villains created circumstances that made it impossible for heroes to arrive quickly.

No hero wanted to be late to the scene, but villains deliberately caused incidents in locations where it was hard for heroes to reach.

That was the case right now.

I rushed to Ulleungdo with all my might but still ended up slightly late.

‘If I had been just a bit later, Yoon Iseon would have almost turned into a demon.’

If I had looked elsewhere.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

If Baek Seol-hee had delayed me while trying to catch me.

If I had wasted time catching a demon that appeared along the way.

Maybe I would have had to face an S-class demon, Yoho Gumiho.

But I barely saved her.

Though Duoexini’s touch had reached her, I managed to save Yoon Iseon.

‘Good work.’

Yoon Iseon and Yumir, too.

It wasn’t so easy for Yumir to simply reveal her power as Solar Platina and end things – the situation was too unfavorable for her.

Asking her, ‘Why don’t you transform?’ would be unreasonable.

If our secret society hadn’t sent Doul, she would have transformed immediately, defeated the demon, and saved Yoon Iseon.

Maybe I robbed her of the chance to shine.

There could have been a future where Yumir heroically saved Yoon Iseon and revealed her identity as Golden Priestess while defeating the demon.

But that future didn’t exist.

Because that’s the future Duoexini wanted, where the Golden Priestess - Platinum Sun revealed herself.

There were places where the Golden Priestess needed to intervene, but Ulleungdo was not one of them.

So.

[I’m late, so let’s finish this quickly.]

[Tempest, On!]

I instantly united with Doul.

The magic power of Doul, dwelling inside me, filled my entire body, and I allowed Doul to enter my body.

[Ah, this feeling... It’s the best...! The sensation of being alive...!]

[Stop the nonsense. Follow me. Keep up with my tempo.]

After steadying my magic power, I focused all my consciousness forward.

Just like when Ermina Sternfert went berserk, he must be-

[Here he comes.]

“Goblinnnnnn!!”

He rushed towards me at super speed.

His speed was not just like a flash of lightning but more like running in a world where time had been accelerated.

Suddenly, the world stopped.

My body stopped, and I saw Duoexini flying towards me in slow motion.

The attack was straightforward.

Puᅳᅳuh!

I thrust my magic-charged fist forward.

Duoexini couldn’t dodge my punch and was knocked backward.

“Kr, krrr...!”

[Last time, too, you were easily defeated. How come there’s no progress at all?]

When Platinum Sun was fighting Yuliana, Duoexini and I fought for nearly 30 minutes.

[Last time you fled after being defeated, what will you do this time?]

And that time, I obviously won.

[I told you. You’re not the only one with such abilities.]

“You, dog...!”

‘I used too much of my magic power coming here.’

I had used too much magic power riding my bike from Jindo to Ulleungdo.

But I couldn’t disengage the union.

If I did, I wouldn’t be able to kill Duoexini.

[Well, I admit I can’t move as fast now. But.]

I gripped the Wol-do again and aimed it at Duoexini.

[That doesn’t mean you’ve become faster than me now, does it?]

“......!”

[I’ll slash you mercilessly. Fast enough that your regeneration speed can’t keep up.]

Whooom.

The Wol-do once again started to shimmer with green magic power.

[I’ll keep slashing until you die eventually.]

I launched another slashing attack at Duoexini.



It was impossible to follow with the eyes.

But it was better than the last time.

Occasionally, glimpses of the two could be seen like a video with skipping frames.

“.......”

Yumir bit her lower lip.

Supporting the coughing Yoon Iseon, she watched from behind as Do Ji-hwan merged with Doul, valiantly fought Duoexini as she ground her teeth in frustration.

“Yumir....”

“President? Ah, no, stay still. If you move wrong....”

“Can you really call the Platinum Sun...?”

Yoon Iseon’s hand grasped Yumir’s.

“If so, I’m sorry, but please call her....”

Yoon Iseon was losing consciousness.

Ever since her tail was cut by Duoexini, she had been losing a vast amount of magic power, struggling to breathe and barely maintaining consciousness.

“Platinum Sun is, hah, said to be a partner of Goblin. If that’s true, then right now....”

“I don’t think they’re partners. Ah, maybe....”

“Still, that doesn’t matter. Help the Goblin. And....”

Yoon Iseon’s finger pointed far beyond, towards the area where their battle was taking place.

“Those demons.... the students, if only they could be turned back into humans....”

Thud.

Yoon Iseon collapsed onto the bike.

The bike barely supported Yoon Iseon as she fell forward, and Yumir slowly helped her off the bike, laying her flat on the ground.

“.......”

Yumir then removed her Taeguk Watch and placed it on Yoon Iseon.

“...Thank you for the consideration.”

Did Yoon Iseon notice?

She didn’t know.

But at least for Yumir, this moment was the ‘opportunity’ she had been waiting for since the crisis began.

“...Time is relative.”

Yumir covered her face with her hands for a moment.

“I can....”

Yumir repeated to herself.

“Do this.”

To correct.

“Follow the Goblin’s speed... match the Goblin’s tempo.”

It was not that she could.

“I must.”

Yumir closed her eyes for a moment, then conjured magic power in her hand.

“...Blast Thunder (疾風迅雷).”

Golden lightning sparked from Yumir’s body.
