Chapter 115 (2/2)

”What do you ht now and confirm his intentions, once and for all!! Will that be fine?” (Kim Yu-Rin)

”…Keheum”

At her declaration, all the others kept their mouths shut Souised envy After all, being able to call Kim Sae-Jin on a personal level meant that she was that close to him

SFX for continuous ring tones

They could hear the sounds of the phone's ringtone over the speaker Everyone tensed up and waited - and waited, and then, waited for soreeted the…

[The person you wish to call is busy Please call again later…]

A loud chuckle broke all that graveyard-like silence pervading the briefing room

”…With you acting like that, obviously he wouldn't answer your call” (Oh Jung-Hyuk)

Oh Jung-Hyuk's lips twitched in a barely-contained satisfaction

”I, I shall call him one more time” (Kim Yu-Rin)

”No, that won't be necessary He isn't going to answer it anyways”

”No, no Wait a minute…”

”For now, let's postpone that discussion after confire, and resu”

For so room turned for the better at the expense of Kim Yu-Rin's embarrassment

And as the lared at the phone while carrying a sullen expression But by the ti had come to an end

1st of February

The defensive line was constructed on the passage lying between Seoul and the Gangwon Province Because of the Boss's ability to hts, Hunters and Wizards gathered up by the line this time

And, if one were to pick someone rather special amidst theht nor a Wizard, but a measly Hunter

”W, sers Isn't he that Kim Sae-Jin?”

”It'shiht?”

Allance at the High Tier Hunter Kim Sae-Jin's direction, but none dared to approach him

And as he stood there, being on the receiving end of all those envious stares, out of the blue, four Griffins flew in the sky above his position Even though they carried riders on their backs, these creatures tenored their cos

”Oh! So this is where you were, Guild Master! I was looking for you just now”

Not only that, overnment officials, as well as Vice Masters of well-known Orders and several Highest Tier Knights ca their heads and requested for a handshake, too One or two of the from lack of patience tried to talk to him about this and that business-related s should be discussed after the current calamity was addressed first

It sure was an aard spectacle that didn't fit the description of a battlefield

'…And as expected, he is surrounded'

Hazeline was loitering on the background, unable to find a good ti whether to s the brave pill and step forward or not, Yu Sae-Jung appeared out froht next to Sae-Jin

When Hazeline saw the two of theh from the depth of her heart automatically leaked out She forced herself to show up here because she orried, but now, seeing the two of theether, it was likely her heart would ache bitterly for a long time

”Excuse me Which Wizard Tower did you come from?”

It was then, Hazeline heard a really faled in coldness It was just a simple voice, but still, she could feel her te on her forehead

”hello?”

Ki Hazeline's shoulder Hazeline's breathing quickened Sensing a strange change in atmosphere, Kim Yu-Rin tilted her head, and then…

”Miss Yu-Rin!! We're ready to start the operation, ma'am!”

”…Understood!”

…At the call of her subordinate, she quickly returned to her original position

”Whew…”

Hazeline did her best to rein her wildly beating heart and let out a long sigh - before falling into yet another dileo away now, or should she stay and take a look for a bit longer…?

Lamentably, it proved to be too late to escape from this place

That was because, in the far off distance, thearmy of the Monsters could be seen

Ss, Trolls, Orcs were being accores, Wyverns, and Basilisks; it was truly a once-in-a-lifetiether to for forward like that (TL: I've no idea what a Hogg Monster is Did a bit of research, but the closest I could find was soas shoulders)

'There's more than expected'

Kiht of the five thousand-strong ar pack consisted of weaklings, but the nures could be seen in the distance as well

'…This won't turn out to be ht?'

Although there were a lot of eneathered here As long as there were no unforeseen events, like the Red Moon suddenly occurring or so similar, they should be able to overcome this crisis relatively safely

SFX for a sword being drawn out

Kim Sae-Jin unsheathed his sword from his hips A pure-white scabbard, and the jet-black blade that perfectly contrasted it - a sword so beautiful and intricately crafted, all the surrounding Knights froze in their tracks, totally forgetting the current situation and dazedly staring at it

”Don't tense up, let's do this thing properly now” (Sae-Jin)

Sae-Jin took a glance at the fehtly tapped on her shoulder while chuckling slightly to himself

”Ye, yes? Oh, yes That's right!”

The Knight of Eden, Yi Yu-Jin, shouted out in her frozen state To run into a fah he wasn't Jin Seh-Hahn currently, Sae-Jin still found it rather a welcome coincidence

Kkwahang!!

<>

It was then The cannons fired Mana projectiles and signaled the beginning of the battle With a loud explosion, projectiles accurately slare

”All personnel, charge!!”

And with that loud roaring, the entire world seemed to bathe in the blue hues of Mana
