Chapter 76 (2/2)

Looking at the trajectory, he could tell where the arrows came from. The problem was the distance.

“To destroy all the traps from here…”

Purr—

That time, Miru cried while watching Su-hyeun.

<>

He nodded and asked, “You know how to do it, right?”

Purr—!

Miru answered with spirit. Su-hyeun was a little nervous. Miru was only five days old.

<>

Who would believe in their child if not their own father?

Schwing—

Su-hyeun drew his sword out of the scabbard. He injected his magic to the sword. Then, he closed his eyes and felt the trajectory of the arrow. The situation was similar to the training done in the basement of Authority building.

The distance was far, but the difficulty was easier. Unlike the slabs, the traps didn’t move.

“Hey, Miru,” Su-hyeun called.

Purr—

Miru cried low.

Whirl, whirl, whirl—

The magic that was injected into the sword was amplified and quickly grew out of power. Before the power disappeared, Su-hyeun quickly swung the sword.

Swish—

The magic shot through the sword was shattered into numerous branches. They flew towards the traps working from side to side.

Wham, wham—

Crack, crack—

The number of arrows that came flying was significantly reduced. Su-hyeun gathered his magic to the sword again. Miru did the same. To be precise, Miru was amplifying the power of Su-hyeun.

“Good. Like that…”

Clang—

Wham, wham—

Su-hyeun who smashed all the remaining traps looked at Miru with a grin.

“Good job.”

Meow—!

1Miru answered with excitement at Su-hyeun’s praise. In the meantime, other awakeners who were in the panic looked at Su-hyeun with confused faces.

“W-what was that? What?”

“I don’t know…”

“Did he just intercept all the traps from here?”

They saw it, but they could not believe it. Lee Ju-ho would have been the same as them if he had not seen Su-hyeun before. What Su-hyeun just did was something like a superhuman skill.

<> Lee Ju-ho thought, <>

He wondered if Su-hyeun could focus more in an actual fight. This was not just a matter of strong and weak. Su-hyeun quickly figured out where the traps were. He focused his magic and controlled to distribute it. The accuracy was amazing, too. It was not possible if any of them were lacking. Originally, it was a task for dozens of people, not just one. But Su-hyeun did it all by himself.

“You make me speechless,” Lee Ju-ho said.

“You can skip the praise. Everybody all right?”

The other awakeners nodded.

“Yes, yes.”

“Everybody is fine.”

“We are the same.”

Fortunately, there was no injury because of the quick response.

Su-hyeun nodded as if he was relieved and said, “Then let’s keep going.”

Su-hyeun began to walk again. The team which had been stopped for a while moved again. Lee Ju-ho walked close to Su-hyeun. He looked at Miru who was making purr sounds. It was smiling, lost the plot.

“Was that Miru’s ability? Amplifying your magic?”

“Yes. It is still young, so it couldn’t do anything but a simple supporting role.”

“That was a way better than just a simple supporting role. Do you know how hard to get magic boosting items?”

“It doesn’t only boost the magic. It also can help to increase Strength, Agility, and other physical abilities,” Su-hyeun said.

Lee Ju-ho was speechless at that response.

<> he thought.

This was quite comparable to some fraudulent items. It was not even one year old. Lee Ju-ho was amazed by Miru.

“Hey, Miru?”

Purr—?

At Lee Ju-ho’s friendly calling, Miru tilted its head sideways.

“Let’s be close friends.”

Grrrrrr—

Miru exposed its teeth as if it only cared for its father. Lee Ju-ho, who felt like he was dumped by a woman who had a secret crush, shook his head and sighed out.

“Umm…”

At that time, Su-hyeun stopped walking and looked around as if he was embarrassed.

Lee Ju-ho asked in a weak voice, “What is wrong?”

“This place…”

Clink— Clink—

“…might be a little troublesome dungeon,” Su-hyeun said.

They could hear a shrill sound from everywhere.
