Chapter 43 - No Time (3) (2/2)

Even Seok Pil-jun couldn’t stop the blush that accompanied his smile, but Il-hyun knocked the man in his head down with his arm.

“Strange……”

No matter how insane it was, he was feeling connected with the Summoner like he’s still holding the summon.

However, it was hardly felt now, and above all, it didn’t take any force to maintain the Summon.

“Just go in. You’ve worked hard.”

Il-hyun tried to lift Phoenix’s summons.

As usual, the connection with the summoner is disrupted and the form is disturbed.

Well? Il-hyun’s eyebrows got shaken by a strange feeling.

Phoenix’s shape was not disturbed at all.

Tak Tak!

He bounced his finger, but he was just staring at him.

Surely……?

The gate was opened in the capital city, and it was so large that the Aegis squad, as well as the Spanish government, were working on the site of the scene where the monsters were overpowered.

Thousands of people have been busy in the controlled field, and team members have not left.

“Hmm, so this guy ate the ether in the core?” Lee Soo-yeon, standing opposite Il-hyun, looking interestingly at the bird.

In the arms of Lee Soo-yeon, Phoenix embraced her hand gently.

The flame surrounding the body disappeared, leaving only the shiny red feathers.

“Not all.”

Phoenix ate the core after Il-hyun absorbed a significant amount of ether.

Because of the rank A core, a lot of ether still remained.

“I would honestly like to ask if you’ve seen something wrong… I can’t guess because this is the first time I’ve encountered something like that… Well, in fact, the summoned owner lacks common sense.”

Lee Soo-yeon shrugged.

When the ability to put ether and absorb it like string was first discovered, the ability to summon something almost became useful.

However, the Summoners summoned by this ability absorbs the ether in the core.

He couldn’t even guess what the situation was.

“Here. I brought the item you asked for.”

“Ah! Thank you for busying yourself.”

Il-hyun was handed a core to an approaching man.

The man with a bulletproof vest was one of the members of the Aegis backup team dispatched with Team A.

Of course, he couldn’t fight the monsters directly from the body of the general public, but he was helping a lot from the invisible backside, such as controlling the surrounding scene and rescuing many people.

“Core? Where are you going to use it?”

“I have something I want to experiment it with.”

It was only an E rank because it was the core of the backup team of a backup team with heavy equipment using ether.

He didn’t have a place to find a core right now, and it was perfect for a small experiment.

He picked up a piece of cement rolling on the floor to see if it came off the building.

He sized it to fit snugly in one hand.

One mouse was quickly transformed into his other hand.

Squeak!

The mouse stood around at about two feet.

Lee Soo-yeon and Phoenix watched him from the side.

That was his reason he had seen so far.

Il-hyun brought the core to a rattling mouse.

The mouse sniffed and almost only took one core of its own body, before noticing Il-hyun.

Il-hyun saw himself in the eyes of the little guy as he nodded silently.

Then, the mouse bites the core.

So awesome!

There were small teeth marks on the fragile core.

At the same time, it cracked gradually, making a crackling noise, before completely breaking.

The white light stem of the ether inside the core began to penetrate into the mouse’s body.

“Oh my gosh,” Lee Soo-yeon murmured, the doubt crossing her eyes.
