Chapter 43 - No Time (4) (2/2)
While staying here, the local government supported it in many ways, and that included meals.
Honestly, even if he went to a very fine restaurant, it was hard to find a better place to eat.
“Maybe the hostel……?”
“Ah! Is that so? It’s like a power-oriented human being.”
“Okay, that seems wise. And I can’t believe that this is a cheap appetite. I’m going to go somewhere and go get some burgers.”
“Okay, that seems wise. I can’t believe that you guys have a cheap appetite. I’m going to go somewhere and go get some burgers,” Lee Soo-yeon clasped her hands together, looking satisfied.
It tastes good, but it seems like it has become a habit to follow the opinion of the boss at work.
“It’s okay. Pil-jun still has his brother,” Ghost, who hasn’t gotten to the results yet, said.
However, as soon as Seok Pil-jun saw the work and joined him, he was forced to abandon his last hope.
Seok Pil-jun easily decided to stay. He dismissed them lightly, saying he was not interested to go anywhere.
“But this cycle is longer than I thought? There was no noticeable news from anywhere else,” Seok Pil-jun said from behind the desperate Ghost.
The sun has been bright since time passed from a dark dawn.
In the meantime, there haven’t been big events in Europe and elsewhere.
Normally, when the danger cycle began, a high-ranking gate would burst out one after another, but not this time.
Of course, the number of gates increased, but the world wasn’t as nervous and alert as it’s supposed to be.
“Because it’s not been hours yet. Well, honestly, I thought it would be unreasonable for four, but I can afford it. It’s a good thing.”
Lee Soo-yeon thought it was a dangerous cycle, so he thought it was rather unreasonable to occupy one continent with four team members who lacked Jeong Jin-sung.
But if you look at the situation so far, four was enough.
Then, the receiver on their arms began to ring loudly at the same time.
—Greece A3, Finland A5, Belgium B1. The surprise gate appeared simultaneously! We will send you the information immediately.
“…I think morning has passed.”

They wanted the fifth cycle to quietly pass for a moment.
Unfortunately, the laws of the odd-numbered cycles are correct.
More than thirty high-ranking gates were opened all over the world at the same time.
Half of them were surprise gates, and overturned without a hitch in the event of a simultaneous burst.
“Damn, what gate is Won Ki-ok? It’s crazy that they all opened at once,” Ghost grumbled on the plane.
In the meantime, he’d worked all over the world and experienced prenatal work, but this was a first for him.
Even the level of each gate was high.
“It’s A3 rank… would you be okay alone?” Seok Pil-jun looked at Lee Soo-yeon with anxious eyes.
Even the A-class awakened powers dealing with average A-rank monsters was not always victorious.
No matter how strong Lee Soo-yeon was, it was dangerous to block a gate by himself.
“I have to try. The A5 class gate is more dangerous. Be careful,” said Lee Soo-yeon.
The level of the gates that popped here and there was hardly enough to withstand the local government’s awakening.
As it was an emergency, the personnel had to be split; the highest A3 level gate was for Lee Soo-yeon, the A5 gate was for the experienced Ghost and Seok Pil-jun, and the remaining B1 gate was assigned to Il-hyun.
Lee Soo-yeon looked at Il-hyun.
“Even if you’ve played a B-ranked monster a few times, it will be different from the B1 level. I think it only gives citizens as much time as possible.”
“Okay.”
“The same goes for the other side. Everyone should just cooperate with the local awakenings to buy time. Never overdo it.”
The atmosphere in the cabin was already serious. Il-hyun swallowed his saliva.
His first solo mission to Aegis will be like this.
However, even in a situation like this, the two summoners who sat next to Il-hyun’s side were undisputed.
Phoenix, who was much larger than him now, fearlessly struck down the mouse with his wings. The mouse fell on the floor.
Can I trust them……?
