Uh... ah...
Run, quickly.
Kang Do Yeon grabbed her frozen friends wrist and dragged her along. She still held a fire extinguisher in her hand.
Die!
The first ti is always the hardest, but the second ti is easier. Already excited, she threw the fire extinguisher at another goblin that appeared from the bottom of the stairs. The fire extinguisher flew with fierce montum, smashing the goblins face. She then stomped on the fallen creature like a madwoman.
Shit...
She wiped off the blood that had splattered on her clothes. But there was no ti to dwell on the aftermath. She grabbed another fire extinguisher and, holding Oh Yoon Ahs hand, they ran hurriedly. Goblins were everywhere. They barely managed to escape the building amidst the chaos.
Running away was clearly the wise choice, considering the screams they could hear from behind.
Ah...
What do we do! What do we do!
A panicked Oh Yoon Ah clung to her, screaming. They were surrounded. A dozen goblins had gathered and were baring their teeth, starting to approach. There was no one nearby to help.
'...Damn.
Kang Do Yeon took a deep breath and lifted the fire extinguisher. So of the goblins were brandishing rough ropes they had prepared in advance.
Hey!
But just then, a car ca racing across the field with a deafening honk.
*
What the hell.
I gritted my teeth against the grating noise as I slamd on the brakes. Leaving a corpse in the drivers seat, hijacking soone elses car, and committing vehicular manslaughter by speeding? But that wasnt the pressing issue at the mont.
Get in quickly!
After mowing down a few goblins, I shouted at the dazed girls. It was only then that Kang Do Yeon seed to snap back to reality. She struck a reeling goblins head with a fire extinguisher and dragged her petite friend towards the car.
'Just leave Oh Yoon Ah and co.
H-how did you get here? Whose car is this?!
Is that really what matters right now?
I floored the accelerator once more. The priority was to escape. However, my sense of relief was premature. As I attempted to reverse, sothing ca flying in.
This cant be.
Is this...
I sighed in disbelief. Could the object that had just flown in and punctured the tire be a bullet?
Kyaaah!
More bullets followed. The goblin at the forefront, leading the others and waving his beard, was aiming a stolen police gun at us. He was the commander of these goblins, soones unit.
Oppa...
You, stay here.
The goblin discarded the gun and aid a large staff in his hand. Flas gathered instantly, forming a fireball. He planned to shoot that at us. I looked at my gloved hand. Even if I used my one-ti assassination right to kill him now, what about the others? According to the rules, 'units and players couldnt be handled by the apps basic functions. So, taking a picture was impossible.
Thats...
But hope was always present. With a flash of lightning, soone appeared behind the goblins.
Cha Ji Yeon!
The step-up hunter?
Oh Yoon Ah and Kang Do Yeon recognized her. A woman in a black suit with light blue hair, surrounded by lightning. Thunderous noises erupted as lightning bolts shot out one after another. I watched silently as she slaughtered the goblins. From the noise, it seed like hunters or police were already handling the situation in the back.
Shes powerful...
The girls gasped in awe. She was indeed powerful. The relentless lightning she summoned decimated dozens of goblins in a single strike. Despite the goblins illogical increase in strength, her power was overwhelming. The goblin that seed to be the leader hurled a fireball at her. Cha Ji Yeon, however, split it with her hand, enveloped in blue lightning, and reduced him to a charred husk with a potent electric shock. She then navigated through the scorched corpses and walked towards us.
Over there...
Is anyone hurt?
Our eyes t. In that mont, I felt sothing. Sothing in her eyes. Could she, who was suspected to be a unit, have figured out my identity?
There are still people in the back!
...In the back?
At that mont, Oh Yoon Ah pointed at the school building and shouted. But she just stared blankly at her and didnt move. My eyes then t with Kang Do Yeons. After all, there were only two players here in the first place.
Dont worry. The ard police and hunters have been urgently dispatched, so youve managed to escape well. If you had stayed at the shelter, you would have been overrun.
Do you need sothing from ?
The atmosphere was tense. Oh Yoon Ah and Cha Ji Yeon, each harboring their own secrets, locked eyes in the open air.
Kasamandis.
...?
Say it. Kasamandis.
The first to speak was Oh Yoon Ah. I realized she was conducting her own verification process.
Kasamandis.
Youre fine? If you had received power from soone in this world, it would have been a cursed spell.
Cha Ji Yeon, having caught on to sothing, obediently complied. At the sa ti, she pulled sothing out. A small pebble-like stone that shone brightly.
Unit.
Player.
Oh Yoon Ah and Cha Ji Yeon both spoke simultaneously. As expected, Cha Ji Yeon was soones unit. From a different world than Oh Yoon Ah. Kasamandis... I made a ntal note of that spell.
So, whats your players position?
The goal is to find players from different affiliations and form alliances.
I see. As expected.
I dont know where she got her confidence from, but the girl who was whimpering just a mont ago now held her head high with pride. Even though she seems a bit naive, shes cunning enough to brand her own friend, so she must have so tricks up her sleeve.
I can provide plenty of help, too.
Then theres no reason to hesitate.
Cha Ji Yeon chuckled, effectively acknowledging the alliance. We, the siblings, had no choice but to beco followers. For now, that seed to be the better option.
Lets move to a safe place... Wait.
Just then, Cha Ji Yeon, who was leading us, suddenly stopped. Her face turned pale.
Whats wrong? Did your player...
Oh Yoon Ah, previously brimming with confidence, suddenly deflated and hid behind Kang Do Yeon. Cha Ji Yeon, her eyes tightly shut, trembled and swayed as if enduring imnse pain.
They cant. They are innocent people...!
Could it be.
The swaying woman sparked lightning once more. The issue was, it didnt seem like the red lightning was manifested by her will.
Maintain... the gas secret...ugh . .
Wa, wait!
While we stood frozen, Oh Yoon Ah unexpectedly stepped forward.
These people are mine. They already know everything. Theres no need to silence them!
...Thats a relief.
Upon hearing Oh Yoon Ahs explanation, her lightning gradually faded. Cha Ji Yeon, drenched in cold sweat, looked genuinely relieved.
Lets move to a safe place now.
We followed her as she sprinted away. There was nothing left to do after that. The hunters and ard police who had rushed in had driven away all the goblins. The survivors had fled through the gate, taking with them nurous victims and kidnapped prisoners. It was a disaster that would go down in Korean history, returning after ten years, marking the beginning of a new catastrophe.
*
So, what did she say?
She said shell explain everything to you and smooth things over.
Is that it?
In the midst of the chaotic and disordered atmosphere, I sat dazedly on the boundary stone with Kang Do Yeon.
She seems a bit scatterbrained.
Shes good at studying, but shes a bit sloppy.
I chuckled. There was indeed sothing peculiar about Oh Yoon Ah, even in her interactions with . Kang Do Yeon had ntioned that she had taken under her wing because she couldnt brand anyone else. However, her threat to silence was rely a stern warning. Naturally, from her perspective, her brother was being held hostage, so her threat wasnt entirely ineffective. Regardless, we had each saved each others lives once. I was rescued from the goblins, and she was saved from Cha Ji Yeon.
But Yoon Ah and Cha Ji Yeon are unaware of your existence. Things have worked out well.
Yeah. Sohow, I managed to pull through.
Do you know where your units are from?
No.
I sighed. At that mont, I couldnt even muster the strength to stand, let alone consider other worlds.
We should head ho. We cant stay here any longer.
Alright.
I had no desire to hear more crying and shouting. With Oh Yoon Ah and Cha Ji Yeon gone, there was no reason to linger. We headed straight ho.
There are really no injuries...sob.
Mom, please...
Upon our arrival ho, our mother, alerted by a phone call, rushed over and enveloped us in a tight, sobbing embrace. After soothing her, I quickly retreated to my room. Todays events had made it abundantly clear: ti was not generous, and danger was ever-present.
Is it confird?
[Yes. The legion is currently dissecting and analyzing the new samples. This will be a historical mont. Perhaps this sample will lead to a breakthrough in our evolution.]
On my cell phone screen, the lifeless bodies of the goblins were being partially digested by the nest. Before leaving, I had taken a few shots of the ones that had been hit by a car. Surprisingly, even if they were units, their corpses could be transferred.
