chapter 19
Episode 19. supernova (1)
several minutes before the incident.
Eom Na-yeon and Seol Chae-hwa were about to leave the school because of a request. It was the same as when Seol Chae-hwa handed over a request to Kim Do-yoon.
She would suggest commissions that would allow any adult with a special nature to make the most of that power. This time, Eom Na-yeon was the subject of the request.
“and. Isn’t that car very expensive? What was your name?”
“Rolling Royce Shooting Star! That’s a model worth over 30 billion won!”
Meanwhile, the two suddenly realized that there was a lot of noise at the school gate.
“Is this Chae-hwa’s car?”
When Eom Na-yeon asked, Seol Chae-hwa shook her head.
“No way. I hate being in the spotlight like that.”
“Then who is it?”
“I think maybe… … .”
As soon as it was said, the crowd split and the figures of those in the center were revealed.
“what. Are you Yurim? But who is the man next to you?”
“It’s also a male line.”
“Does anyone know?”
“I’m not particularly friendly. How many times have you seen me passing by on business?”
All Seol Chae-hwa knew was that Pyo Yu-rim and Nam Sung-jin were engaged.
“no.”
“Yu, Yurim?”
What kind of conversation was there? I could see Pyo Yoo-rim, who firmly refused something, and Nam-jin, who was visibly embarrassed. Next to him was a middle-aged woman dressed in a hanbok.
“Pyoyurim. you… . sorry. Can I talk to you and your daughter for a while?”
She was Pyo Yu-rim’s mother.
Namjoon-jin replied with a kind smile.
“are you okay. Is there anything to be sorry for? It seems that Yurim is not ready mentally because the deadline has suddenly moved forward. Please come and talk slowly.”
Pyo Yu-rim and her mother were hidden behind a wall, some distance from the school gate, and headed to a place where people could not see them.
Until then, the two did not take it very seriously. I felt that the atmosphere was strange, but in the end it was someone else’s family affairs.
“Yurim. why are you doing this all of a sudden Even though the wedding has been moved up, it’s only a few days away. Did you say no because it was really sudden?”
“I have someone interested.”
“what… ?”
“Mother, are you my mother?”
“Pyoyurim. What does that mean now?”
“If you’re a mother, respect my wishes–“
match!
Pyoyurim’s words were cut off in the middle.
Eom Na-yeon stopped first, followed by Seol Chae-hwa, who also hardened her expression.
“Pyoyurim. Don’t talk nonsense. How long are you going to act like a child?”
“… … .”
“Who is it that we can live in abundance like this! We wouldn’t be where we are without the help of our teachers. Do you intend to betray them?”
“mother. I am not a child who needs to be taken care of like I used to be.”
Pyo Yu-rim’s voice was infinitely cold.
“What, what? what did you just say?”
“I know everything. You sold my name here and there, and you enjoyed a lot of benefits from it.”
“Pyoyurim… .”
“Until now, I just kept closing my eyes. As a child, I think I have to protect Dori. I think I’ve done enough. So please let me go.”
“A wild forest!”
“If you need money, I will get it for you. If there is a day you want to spend with me, I will make the most of my time to visit you. But please don’t arbitrarily decide my life, even the person I want to be with for the rest of my life.”
silence for a while.
and.
Damn!
The sound of slapping is heard again. The sound was louder than before.
This time there was a longer silence than before.
Seol Chae-hwa and Eom Na-yeon looked at each other. If it was just a light argument, I would have tried to ignore it, but this matter was different.
Violence cannot be justified under any circumstance. Even harming demons right away is legally ‘justified self-defense’, and it is only not asking for guilt. It does not state that it is ‘not a sin’.
Even more so, for parents to beat their children in the name of discipline was just an outdated method of education.
because it was
“Na Yeon-ah.”
“huh. I am of the same opinion as you.”
I don’t know what’s going on, but I need to dry it first. It was just as the thought was about to settle in their heads.
“Looks like the story was real! He said he was flirting with a man outside, so I really couldn’t believe it… … .”
“I just knew what my mother meant. I’ll end here. Please don’t see me next time. At that time, I will treat you as a south-south.”
“you! You can’t do this to me! How did I raise you!”
Pyo Yu-rim’s mother’s voice becomes more and more enraged.
“good bye.”
“The man you said your eyes were on! do you know who Just go for it like this! Don’t leave that bastard alone! I will definitely bury it no matter what. okay?!”
At that moment, the air around them froze.
Seol Chae-hwa and Eom Na-yeon, who tried to break between the two, instinctively stopped their steps.
and.
Clink!
Disparate shockwaves, different from normal winds, spread in all directions. All nearby windows are shattered at once.
“Who… Did you touch it?”
Pyo Yoo-rim’s blunt voice gradually begins to show emotion.
“That person… If you’ve been researching… … . What did he do a few days ago… What have you been through! You don’t know very well!!!”
Seol Chae-hwa and Eom Na-yeon look at each other for a moment. As if they had promised, they jumped into the place where the wild forest was at the same time.
“Yurim! calm down!”
Seolchaehwa hurriedly exclaimed.
There was a driftwood forest that lifted his mother into the air. Her eyes were not focused. The condition was bizarre to say that he was simply angry.
“Huh, that… !”
Eom Na-yeon swallowed in vain.
A ring of light appeared above the stray forest’s head. It was the so-called Halo phenomenon.
even.
‘Already in the terminal stage?’
Seolchaehwa was astonished inside.
The Halo phenomenon was divided into three main categories. Early, middle, and late. Usually, the symptoms progressed in stages according to how much the mind was eroded by the magical power of nature.
In the early stages, something like an angel ring appeared on her head. It is in the middle stage that an aurora of light that looks like wings in the shape of wings begins to emanate from the back.
It was fine until there. If you faint in the middle and lose consciousness, you can safely subdue it.
‘If you go to that state in an instant, you’re stressed enough… … .’
When it reaches the final stage, dark red aurora begins to flow out of its pupils.
At this point, there was no turning back.
If an adult in this state is prematurely tried to faint, the superheated magical power of nature literally melts the adult’s ego. pain. In other words, you end up becoming a vegetative person.
“Yurim?”
Um Na-yeon cautiously called her.
Pyo Yu-rim silently released her mother. Was it because she was surprised by her sudden behavior? Pyo Yu-rim’s mother sat there in a daze.
Fortunately, no injuries were seen. I just lifted it up in the air and put it down. Seol Chae-hwa wiped her heart in surprise at the fact that she had avoided the worst situation.
However, the tension could not be relieved.
“Pyoyurim. can you hear me? Do you know how many of these there are?”
“… … .”
Eom Na-yeon spread three fingers. The pyoyurim did not react.
again and again.
Instead, he began slowly approaching the two of them. Seol Chae-hwa and Eom Na-yeon were extremely nervous at the moment, but Pyo Yoo-rim walked past them.
“Yurim? Where are you going?”
Pyo Yu-rim stopped at Na-yeon Eom’s question.
“There is someone I need to meet.”
A mechanical voice that seemed to have more soul drained than usual.
“Who is it?”
Yu-rim Pyo did not answer any more questions. Instead, he tried to blur his body translucently.
Seolchaehwa instinctively screamed.
“Nayeon! Run in and stop them from teleporting!”
What is certain is that the stray forest in Halo is a grenade about to explode. No, it was a nuclear bomb. You should never let them go outside.
“okay!”
and.
――――――――――!!!
A star exploded.
The moment the MMP spread like an explosion around the wild forest. As if waiting for this moment, monsters began to emerge from her wings. An existence born of Pyoyurim’s nature and magician’s power running out of control.
Kieeck!
Ooh oh oh oh!
It was a summoned object modeled after a monster room.
“Ugh!”
“Turn it off!”
Pyoyurim’s summoned bodies screamed and ran out in all directions. Seol Chae-hwa and Eom Na-yeon had to watch the fountain of disaster in vain while enduring the aftermath of the MMP.
[‘Iron Will’ is activated when the conditions are met.]
Nayeon Eom was the first to stand up.
her heaven. One of the powers of the 『Guardian』. ‘Iron will’ gave Eom Na-yeon resistance to external pressure.
because it was
“no!”
Even though he couldn’t block the summoning bodies, he was able to catch Pyo Yu-rim’s ankle as he tried to run away again.
She didn’t even talk back. With cold eyes, he just stared at Eom Na-yeon, who grabbed his wrist.
Quaang!
“Kuk.”
At that moment, Na-Yeon Eom was blown away by something as if she had been hit by a dump truck. Seol Chae-hwa turned her head and looked in the direction Eom Na-yeon flew.
“Ugh. It’s the head… .”
Fortunately, nothing major happened. A possessor of transcendent toughness, she got up without a single injury.
“It’s annoying.”
Pyo Yu-rim, who was disturbed, turned to the direction of Seol Chae-hwa and Eom Na-yeon instead of leaving. He instinctively realized that they would not let him go well.
‘What can I do? Should I take it down?’
Seol Chae-hwa pondered for a moment.
The whole place was a melting pot of chaos. The summoned body of Pyoyu-rim spread out all over the signal and began to sting. Most of the adults who were supposed to stop it were incapacitated by the influence of MMP.
“what! Where is the monster appearing!”
“evil! Save people!”
Ordinary people were not affected by MMP as they had no mana in their bodies, but that did not change the situation. Because they didn’t have the strength to fight against the summoning body of the wild forest.
Kyaaagh!
The summoned entities attacked all humans in sight. The sight of him roaring and running towards it was the unmistakable Monstrum itself.
‘I can’t stay still. I have to stop here before the damage gets bigger!’
bang!
The fierce battle began without warning. It was because Pyo Yu-rim had made a preemptive attack.
Seol Chae-hwa and Eom Na-yeon quickly evaded and settled down. Meanwhile, the pyoyurim’s attack continued.
cooong! Kwaaang!
Shockwaves were scattered in all directions whenever the battle of agreement came and went. The more he did, the louder the clamor he heard around him grew.
While Eom Na-yeon stepped forward to block the threatening magic of the Pyoyu-rim, Seol Chae-hwa took out all her drones and supported Na-yeon Eom with ranged attacks.
‘It’s not the time to worry about knocking down or not! It’s an opponent that I can’t even guarantee that I can defeat in the first place!’
Two alone is not enough. Seol Chae-hwa desperately felt the loss of power, but couldn’t think of any other good way.
“You are also in the same relationship with your mother. He intends to stop me and hurt him. yes?”
“what? what are you talking about Say we hurt someone! Calm down first!”
The stormy forest’s attack suddenly stopped.
“Are you trying to pass the time? Sorry but not like that. If you keep trying to stop me, all of them… … .”
Right after the dome-shaped curtain of light spread around the wild forest, dozens of magic circles appeared around Eom Na-yeon and Seol Chae-hwa.
and.
Kwajik!
Blood was everywhere.
***
Caang! Caang!
He drew in a rough breath.
As they left the 1st year hall, more summoned bodies flocked to them. In this situation, there is no weapon as sure as a gun. You don’t have to move violently, just move your hands to intercept the approaching guys, and that’s it.
[Activates ‘Emotion Implant’.]
Even in the midst of confusion, he did not panic. This nature made me immovable and calm in any situation.
[‘Mental Acceleration’ is activated.]
I wouldn’t be surprised if a large number of summoned bodies rushed in at once. This nature allows you to observe everything in a world where everything slows down.
and.
[‘Delusion Practice’ is activated.]
Even if it hadn’t been long since he’d fired a gun, he couldn’t have cared. As long as I have this power to make the actions I imagine into reality. Anything can be done as long as you have the specs to support that action.
‘It’s still going well, but why am I so anxious?’
Suddenly, the Great Hall began to appear.
In the original work, it was the place where everyone evacuated and held a sit-in. It was a place officially designated as a disaster shelter by Signal, so it was possible to gather.
The main character of the original work also found Min Seo-eun first and took her to the auditorium when Pyo Yu-rim fell into a runaway state. I also have to follow the same procedure.
“Sah, save me! There are people here!”
As I was moving forward, I heard a voice calling for help from somewhere.
Now that Pyo Yu-rim’s summoning body had spread all over Signal, it was no wonder that there were people in danger.
The worry didn’t last long.
“Min Seo-eun. Someone is asking for help, so let’s stop over there for a second. I need to save you.”
She didn’t answer, but nodded with a slightly relaxed smile.
The voice was heard from the department store. It was a complex commercial building to provide convenience to students.
oh oh oh!
bang! Quaang!
“Help me! Is there anyone nearby?!”
Judging by the urgent voice, it seemed that the summoning body had entered the interior of the white house.
‘good. It’s also inside the building, so it’s just fine. Let’s try that skill.’
After sitting Min Seo-eun nearby for a while, I decided to go to the training ground and use what I had practiced whenever I had time.
[Activates ‘Sense Control’.]
[Greatly enhances hearing!]
[The sense of smell is greatly strengthened!]
[‘Delusion Practice’ is activated.]
I invested a very small amount of mental power into the Astrolabos and triggered it three or four times. Of course, if you shoot like this, the power will be terrible, but one feature is born.
z- z- z-
that ultrasound is generated.
If delusion practice is added to this, it becomes possible to use it like echolocation. You will be able to grasp the structure of this department store in three dimensions in your head.
‘In the middle of the hallway on the third floor. It must be hiding in the bathroom, as it smells of perfume coming from the source of the sound.’
Other than that, there were no other places in the department store.
I put the extra Astrolabus, which I had previously recharged, into Min Seo-eun’s hand.
“I’ll run and come back soon. If a summoned body attacks from the outside, shoot it and kill it. You can only fire about three shots, so be careful.”
Quaang! Kwaaang!
“Kyaaah!”
Meanwhile, the screaming grew louder.
I ran as fast as I could to the source of the sound.
Ooh oh oh oh!
The entrance to the bathroom was narrow, so I could see a summoned entity trying to tear down the wall itself. From the looks of it, it looks like a miniature troll.
clap.
I pointed the gun straight ahead.
Kiriririk!
Kiriririk!
The moment I was about to pull the trigger. Fist-sized flying insects protruded from the summoned entity’s skin. Well over 100 were seen. It’s impossible to shoot a single shot at that swarm.
‘then!’
This was the time to show the true value of the deceased.
