Chapter 50 - Squeak! (2/2)
An explosion occurred, it was glaring even from a distance.
“There is only one left,” Lee Tae-hee said. She confirmed that one goal was erased through the hologram of the watch on her right wrist.
Her sleek hair and 19-year-old fresh appearance didn’t go well with the scene of the bloody ruins.
Of course, unlike others, she was in the spotlight as the world’s best prospect and was a member of Team C, and she even temporarily sent support to Team A, which lacked manpower in many ways.
She didn’t expect that the time they had gone to be the third week already.
As evidence of her promising skills, the bodies of the monsters were severely cut up, it had become hard to recognize their original shape.
Then, in a pile of corpses, the stem of a monster plant stretched out, aiming behind her.
They were all dying with the wounds on their bodies, but they wanted to see human blood until the last minute.
However, a glowing lump of flame appeared and intervened in the middle, and both stretched stems and a few remaining bodies were burnt.
“Thanks,” Lee Tae-hee smiled and looked up.
Above her was a brightly burning phoenix.
Since the site was plant-filled all over the place, the flame-based attack worked effectively. Il-Hyun was her savior.
When Lee Tae-hee ran, Phoenix also followed her.
The last goal remained a short distance away.
On the way, the floor wobbled, and monsters appeared and blocked the road, but they jumped over them lightly and cut them down to maintain speed.
“I found a way……!” Lee Tae-hee paused and stared blankly in front of her.
The stalks of snarling monsters gathered to form a giant dome.
This wasn’t an A level threat.
To protect the last remaining target, the monsters have gathered in large amounts.
Her feet shook as she stared at the view in front of her—the monsters were rushing at her.
It would not matter if that’s was all, but at the same time, numerous stems that can not be counted have stretched out in a massive mass that is clustered into a dome.
“Haaa!” Lee Tae-hee pulled the sword inside her arms and concentrated her mind.
Ji-ing!
A small wave spread around her, and the world quickly turned gray.
Everything slowed down.
From flying vines to falling flower pots and cracking walls.
Amid a world where everything flowed slowly, Lee Tae-hee remained the same and swung her sword vigorously.
Time acceleration—it was one of her two powers.
It was the ability to be classified as the best among the rank A talents.
It was her own power!
All the stalks were cut off without a hitch, and the monsters that had stood up fell down again and split into several pieces that covered the floor.
But she stopped there.
It was difficult to kill the enormous mass of the monster that filled everything as far as the eyes could see.
“What should I do……?”
She has to deal with it as soon as possible, but it would have taken too long to process it in the usual way.
There was no end to removing the lumped monsters one by one without knowing where the target was located.
“Tae-hee!”
“Huh?”
Lee Tae-hee looked up toward the voice.
A familiar transport plane was approaching her way.
And there was someone inside—he was reaching his hand out the door.
“Brother? How did you get there?” Embarrassed, Lee Tae-hee pointed to the lump of plants.
She was glad that he showed up in a situation where she needed help, but he was on the plane to see if she was going to leave her work fast.
“Once you get on……! I’ll tell you!”
As the plane descended and approached her, Il-Hyun reached out.
Lee Tae-hee, who didn’t know English before the scene can be prevented, climbed up with his hand’s support.
Initially, when this type of monster was present, it was a suicidal attempt to fly low in an aircraft, but Phoenix protected from all the creeping vines.
The plane flew up with Phoenix whirling around.
“What are you going to do about the mission?”
“Wait a minute…. The goal is done. Start bombing.”
-Yes, confirmed.
Il-Hyun contacted the backup team that was on standby, and immediate response was heard.
“You still have one left? Then, the bomb won’t work because of the shield……”
Lee Tae-hee was surprised at his words.
But soon she could see something strange happening through the open door.
Plants that had been tightly slumped fell apart.
When they all fell out, for some reason, there was a dead target among a pile of vines.
And dozens of bombers, as if waiting, appeared in the sky.
Survivors were evacuated, and the plane was sufficiently raised high.
Bombs fell.
Quang!
The diffusion bombs using Ether spat out lots of smoke before they hit the ground, and explosions and sparks devoured everything on the ground.
The remaining D-rank base monsters didn’t survive the violent explosion.
The colorful fireworks that swallowed the little town filled her eyes.
No matter where you go, even if they give you tens of billions of dollars, you will never see this sight all your life.
And then—
In the explosion, the mouse flew over the sparrow.
Lee Tae-hee figured out the identity of the hero who knocked down the target all alone.
“Ahaha, that is cool!”
“Well done.”
Squeak!
