Academy Silver Gatekeeper

154 – The Worst Always Comes on Top of Each Other – 5

It is said that it was only here that he realized his special ability and was excluded from enlistment.

Before being possessed, he naturally performed military service as a Korean man.

And among the military songs sung there, it is said to be the last five minutes.

As you can see in the title, the content is something like, hold on, hold on, and achieve victory.

The soldiers said this among themselves. Actually, it means just hold on for 5 more minutes and then die.

Those last five minutes automatically come to mind. Holy shit, I’m really going to die if this continues.

Whoop-boo-boo-

How can you turn into a shadow or become so good at instantly erasing your presence?

I am very different from Hyun Soo-jin, who avoided Cyclops’ attacks relatively well.

There are two options for this side to choose from. Either run without looking back or roll over like a dog.

Unfortunately, it was a sad reality that 80% of them had no choice but to roll over.

‘Hasn’t 5 minutes passed yet? I think it was a while ago?’

I rolled around on the floor like crazy and looked towards Hyun Soo-jin in the distance.

In case I was disturbed, I went beyond the shadows and completely erased my presence.

And within that, he builds up his magic power, and it definitely feels like he’s aiming for a shot.

The problem is that I’m likely to become a rat to this one-eyed monster before then!

“Wow! “Wow, wow!”

A fact I didn’t know about when I was attacked. This monster is really, really fast.

The speed I felt earlier was not even close to the speed axis. I can’t believe Hyun Soo-jin endured this alone.

He doesn’t even seem to be getting tired.

Of course, if you move something that big, you’ll get tired faster.

No matter how much I ran, moved, or exerted any effort, it didn’t seem like I was struggling at all.

I want to fight back, but I don’t have time to do so. The moment you turn around, it will hit you.

As Hyun Soo-jin said, his magic power is at a low level and his stamina is only moderate.

If you get hit once properly here, instead of wasting time, you will die early.

Crrr-

… What is this, you bastard? Why did you suddenly turn your head after me so well? Huh? Where is that going?

He was a guy who hadn’t even noticed Hyun Soo-jin’s presence until a little while ago.

But then I suddenly noticed something unusual.

He turned around as if he felt a terrifying energy targeting him.

Moreover, it moves very precisely to the place where Hyun Soo-jin is hiding his body.

I said monster bastard, monster bastard, but it turned out to be a real monster. How did you know that?

I quickly grabbed my sword and created a wind path on his back, but he did not care.

There is a strong feeling of ‘You hit me, I’m going to do my own business.’

“Fuck, really!”

In the end, there is only one path I can choose: to stand in front of that monster.

I had been trying to get away from him as much as possible until now, but the situation became really funny.

Crr—

This monster also tilts his head as if he is slightly embarrassed.

It’s quite possible that the guy who was running away with his teeth clenched just a moment ago suddenly blocks his path.

Well, I blocked your path and obstructed your path, but what should I do now?

The situation is not good for Kang Min-seong to unleash his sword again.

If I use the one remaining shadow, it won’t last long due to lack of magic power.

In terms of destructive power, there is also Kwak Hyeok’s spear, but it is now a defense, not an attack.

‘You have to endure. It must be stopped. Roughly… ‘About 3 minutes.’

No matter how hard you think and try, there is only one answer that ultimately comes out.

A sword is not enough to pass the time. The space needs to be narrowed further.

If you don’t want to get caught or kicked by that guy, there is no other way.

Deep!—

I threw the sword I was holding on the ground.

If Kang Min-seong sees this, he’ll probably be shocked and wonder what he’s doing.

But if you see what I do next, you will fully understand.

‘I don’t have much magical power left anyway. Let’s just burn it all down. Just like that crazy woman did.’

Irina’s technique that I couldn’t even try because I couldn’t even think of imitating it.

The golden energy that burns around her is her own magic power.

If it were other people, I would go crazy trying to save even a single bit of magical energy.

Even after just using that technique, Irina seemed to have some magic left over.

Unfortunately, I am not at that level now. However, once you do it, the power is certain.

I remember how and how to surround myself with magic.

Coincidentally, the characteristics of the gatekeeper are also showing off at their best. You can do it.

Releases all the magical power that you tried to save as much as possible.

To be precise, it is not tied to the body, but spreads throughout the body.

And then, at once, all of that magical energy was rotated and exploded.

“Ouch!”

In an instant, pain that I had never felt before swept through my entire body.

What should I say? It feels like a knife has been stabbed into my body dozens of times.

The difference is that the sensation is internal rather than external.

I’ve been injured a lot recently, so I’m used to the pain, so it’s a shame.

Otherwise, I might have just passed out from the pain without even realizing it.

Kuaak!―

Come. There’s something big up there that could crush me at any moment.

Instinct cries out. Avoid it. If you don’t want to die, you have to avoid it. So, move.

I try to move according to my instinct, but for some reason my legs don’t move.

Are you tired? Are you experiencing magical exhaustion? No, no. Neither.

In the instinct to avoid and live, a question suddenly arises.

Why? Why should I avoid it? Why should I run away? Shouldn’t we just block it?

It’s already very unpleasant to go out to conquer dungeons on the weekend.

Next is Hyun Soo-jin, and beyond that, he’s now an S-rank monster.

I suddenly feel angry that they are doing this on a precious weekend.

Wow! –

Damn one-eyed bastard. I wish you would shut up.

That roar makes my bones tremble. I need to cover that mouth.

*

Hyun Soo-jin was dumbfounded even thinking to herself why she was doing this.

There is no reason to do this. I could have ignored everything and just left.

If you fall for Baek Seo-jin’s words, aren’t you fighting monsters together in the end?

He is even trying to push his body, which has been pushed to its limit, to its limit.

‘Just a little more.’

His unique abilities are at a disadvantage in a head-to-head match where he competes with all his might.

Overwhelming ability to utilize space, technology to deceive presence and blur the detection range.

These can be said to be the ability to create and fight in a completely advantageous situation.

However, even he has a secret trick just in case.

By concentrating all the shadows in one place and piercing one point.

It was a blow that the shadow prepared for by losing all its advantages as a shadow.

Kugugu!―

A huge collision ensues in front that gives you goosebumps.

Apparently, he just asked Baek Seo-jin to take his time.

Why is that man running for his life rather than wasting time?

Even my magic power is burning brightly. There isn’t much magical power left.

If you do that, you may suffer irreparable damage to your body.

Magic power is not infinite. If you use it to its limit, you will destroy your body.

Therefore, the ability to use magical power is considered very important in any branch.

The idea is to work together as a team to save as much magic attribute as possible.

‘But that crazy guy… What are you doing now?’

Anyone can see that the person who is desperate to die is Baek Seo-jin.

If you do that, you will either truly run out of magical power or your body will collapse.

Quack!- Boom!-

Humans are engaged in a fierce battle with Cyclops. Does that make sense?

Even if you are S-rank, a direct hit from a monster of the same level is fatal.

Even those who pierce from the front are only ‘piercing’ and not hitting.

But Baek Seo-jin wasn’t even that. They’re just fighting like crazy.

As if shouting that you can’t move forward even one step further, as if telling you to go somewhere.

Even Hyun Soo-jin was shocked by that appearance, which reminded her of someone else.

‘Aren’t you the one who wants to die? ‘This is absurd.’

At the same time, something that had been forgotten appears in Hyun Soo-jin’s mind.

Watching someone much younger than you fight so desperately.

It reminds me of myself and my fiance who fought like that in the past.

Even though no one asked me to do it, I believe it is my duty and I think it is something I have to do.

Even if he got hurt, fell, or lost his comrades, he still protected the tranquility of the world.

Memories of the past, when people were once called heroes, have quietly surfaced.

In a place where I thought everything had burned down and only ashes remained, was there still something left to ride?

You shouldn’t think like this. If you do this, you are insulting those who have been sacrificed.

You become someone who is no different from the people you hate so much!

“We have to fight. So I have to return it. To the original world, to the original people.”

That was the last thing he said.

I didn’t beg for my life or seek revenge.

He still wanted to draw the world and protect people.

He wanted to become a shield himself, blocking things that needed to be blocked.

‘… Really. Same goes for you and that guy. Are all your brothers and sisters like that?’

Perhaps that research that failed, that cursed experiment.

They may have succeeded at least one of them without even knowing it.

From beginning to end, these people were created purely for profit.

However, those who tried to serve people more desperately than anyone else.

If you only saw that one thing, wouldn’t you be able to say it was a success?

Passu-

In Hyun Soo-jin’s hand, a condensed black dagger is held.

The many shadows are condensed and condensed here, waiting.

Although we cannot deceive the enemy or hide our presence like before.

Once you get into it properly, you can make Kwak Hyuk’s spear into something like that.

“Baek Seo-jin! Get ready quickly!”

If you use this, all of your special abilities will be sealed.

Everything that has been done so far has been hiding or moving in the shadows.

So someone has to return all attention to the enemy.

And Baek Seo-jin was performing that role almost perfectly.

“When I give you the signal, stay away! “It’s my first time using this, so I don’t know what will happen!”

It’s been a long time since I ran on my own two legs.

It was this kind of feeling. I have lived in the shadows for a really long time.

It’s a little unfamiliar, but at the same time, it’s comforting.

“Now!”

At Hyeon Su-jin’s signal, Baek Seo-jin bit his lip and threw out his fist until it bled.

When it hit Cyclops’ torso, one of his arms was crushed.

Instead, the monster wasn’t okay either. There was a big hole in his chest.

Just as he was about to stumble backwards due to the impact, Hyun Su-jin succeeded in climbing on top.

Whoa! –

Did I feel an unusual energy? Cyclops is trying to snatch Hyun Soo-jin.

Baek Seo-jin, who saw that, hit the guy’s body again with his other arm, leaving his almost crushed arm behind him

Wow!—

“Ugh!”

His wrists are bent and he looks ugly.

However, the attack must have gone well, and its resistance has decreased.

Meanwhile, Hyun Soo-jin nimbly climbed onto Cyclops’ shoulder.

Afterwards, he grabbed the guy’s lips and threw his body away, instinctively identifying his weakness.

A place not protected by bones or muscles, a place where even the brain can be damaged with a single blow.

Hyun Su-jin roughly stabbed the black dagger in his hand into the space under his chin.

And he ignited all the magic he had accumulated within him.

Kuuuuu- Quaa!-

With a loud noise, the entire area began to turn into a place of darkness without any light.
