Chapter 48 (2/2)

In an instant, the team members swung their blunt weapons at Yoo-seong. The members each had a modified three-stage rod that stretched up to 2.5 meters.

Yoo-seong’s moved quickly, avoiding each swing. Then, he fired his Gellar Gun.

Pop-!

He was aiming for a team member’s legs. The member avoided it without difficulty.

A handful of dirt exploded in the air as the bullet missed.

The Team Quartz’ offense continued.

Kwaduk-!

As Yoo-seong avoided two swings in his direction, he was hit from an unexpected angle.

It was from the team leader, who had been standing quite a distance from him.

The rod was coated with the Aura of a veteran hunter. Yoo-seong felt pain burning on his forearm. In retaliation, he fired his Gellar Gun.

Popop-!

However, he missed again. Both bullets hit the ground. As he fired the shots, he had exposed himself to the members.

They took advantage by swinging at him while he focused on his aim.

This will end soon, Zhang Liu thought with delight.

Yoo-seong kept firing and hitting nothing but the ground and struggled to defend himself against the attacks.

The formation cornered him to a place without any trees or rocks.

Zhang Liu was aware of his Spider Walk ability and made sure he won’t be able to escape.

Unexpectedly, Yoo-seong spoke for the first time since the attack began.

“Finally… done.”

Yoo-seong then made his move.

Each of the bullets lodged on the ground by the member’s feet was still connected to him, through his Aura.

Eleven Parasitic Bees.

One by one, they moved towards their targets. Each bullet did not contain much power; however, Yoo-seong was amazed at his improvement.

The casting speeds.

The number of simultaneous casts.

The control of each bullet.

His technique had greatly improved in such a short span of time.

-Everyone, don’t panic!

Zhang Liu yelled at his communicator.

However, even he was confused and unprepared for this retaliation. One team member closest to Yoo-seong swung his rod.

Yoo-seong used his fists for the first time and smashed the rod. Then, he captured the member and choked him.

Meanwhile, the Parasitic Bees were flying left and right. Two team members fell as they were hit on their thighs.

-Ugh!

-It hurts!

Meanwhile, the team member that Yoo-seong grabbed sank to his knees, unconscious.

Yoo-seong looked around.

‘Three members down, eight more to go.’

One by one, the bullets found their targets, bursting through the members’ thighs and shoulders, disabling them.

As soon as the Parasitic Bees served their purpose, he pulled them back to him, recovering the CE he placed on them.

It was possible because they were connected to him through strings. The technique wasn’t like Psy, where energy was shot out of the body.

‘But… I studied enough’; Zhang Liu was beginning to lose his composure.

The Parasitic Bees was an absurd technique that was beyond the principles of Ki he knew.

He looked around. Only he and the Quartz team leader was left standing.

In an instant, Yoo-seong appeared in front of the team leader, smashing his fist against the man’s face. The team leader’s helmet was broken, and the man collapsed helplessly.

Only Zhang Liu remained.

He took off his helmet.

“Did you… did you intentionally leave me for last?”

‘Impossible. Could he see through the Anonymous suits?’

Yoo-seong nodded.

For him, it was simple. Since they were locked in a formation, he was able to deduce where the commands were coming from.

“Are you going to kill me?” Zhang Liu asked.

Even as he did, it was obvious that Yoo-seong had no intention of doing so.

Yoo-seong had turned his back from him and began to walk away.

Zhang Liu considered the situation.

All the members of Team Quartz were on the ground, but they were all still alive. Not one had been fatally wounded.

It would be a little troublesome for the members to recover from their injuries, but there was no way for Yoo-seong to prove that they had attacked him.

Suddenly, something caught his eyes.

Yoo-seong was back to his original position, where he had crouched. He was fiddling with something on the ground before.

Zhang Liu thought he was tying his shoelaces.

But instead-

Zhang Liu’s eyes widened as he realized what it was.

“What… How?!”

It was an action cam.

Yoo-seong has pulled it out of his Slot and planted it while Zhang Liu and Team Quartz were discussing.

It had captured how the team that was supposed to escort him took an offensive formation and ganged up on him.

“This is the end,” Yoo-seong quietly spoke as if he was reading their prison sentence.
