Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

152. Reunion

#152. Reunion

Cynthia led the family’s forces and returned to the Kwonseongshin family with Shindongbaek. On the way to the family, her grandfather continued to dissuade her, but Cynthia did not give in.

Baek Jin-yul is the only one who thinks like that from the beginning.

Cynthia’s only thought was to destroy Shin Chang Baek Ga and send Baek Jin Yul to the underworld. In fact, she had additional thoughts about Han Seong Jin, but that would come after dealing with the Baek Ga guys.

In other words, all Cynthia had to do was to beat up the Baekga guys.

And she was a divine being who had ascended to the position of transcendence, and there was no being on Earth who could handle her.

Even on a cosmic scale, there probably weren’t many people of her caliber, and on Earth, there was no way anyone could surpass her.

What if the End sends down the Apostle once again?

‘There are no transcendent beings on Earth anyway… How could there be an apostle from an alien? I’m already an apostle of the Guardian, so I wouldn’t be able to become one anyway.’

Cynthia slowly crossed the city of Seoul, catching the movements of monsters that were too far away to be seen, and releasing a weak divine power to form an arrow in the sky above the monsters’ location and drop it. It was called Cynthia-style Gungnir.

As a result of moving at a speed that was neither too slow nor too fast, the Shinga party was able to arrive at the site of Kwon Seong Shinga in just a few hours.

And there, Cynthia met a familiar face again. She almost didn’t recognize him because his body was imbued with an alien power… but it was Han Sung-jin.

‘But… why does my brother have the divine relic of the God of War?’

While Cynthia was questioning, Han Seong-jin, who had discovered the group of Shinga, tilted his head in this direction.

“…Your Majesty the God?”

Han Seong-jin looked at Shin Ga and his group with an awkward expression, then waved happily.

‘Of course! My brother is my brother. If Musin tries to do something… I’ll just defeat him.’

Cynthia waved at Han Sungjin after putting aside her thoughts about the god of the gods. However… her gesture was obscured by the large bodies of the other gods and was not visible to Han Sungjin.

‘This, this is profit…!’

Cynthia stepped forward, pushing aside the people of the shrine and her grandfather little by little.

“Oppa- I’m here-!”

“Poem, poem?”

Cynthia ran towards Han Seong-jin.

“Are you really back?”

“yes!”

The surroundings were filled with silence for a moment at the touching reunion between Han Sung-jin and Cynthia. The two shared a passionate hug while everyone was watching, and soon Shin Dong-baek’s eyes turned red.

At that time, Cheon So-hye and Baek Jin-yool were also blankly looking at the two.

An ominous sound rang out.

Woodduck.

It was the sound of Han Seong-jin’s arm breaking.

“to?”

“Krrrrrrrrrr-”

Cynthia had forgotten how fragile the body of an ordinary person is.

***

I looked at Cynthia, whom I hadn’t seen in years, and hugged her right away.

‘I never thought Sia would come back… It’s good that she’s alive until now.’

I felt my heart pounding.

After Cynthia disappeared, no experience had ever made me emotional, but now just looking at her face made my heart race.

Yeah, I like Cynthia.

I had tried to simply hide it before, but I had no intention of hiding it any longer. The moment this was over… no, even before that, I thought I should be honest about my feelings.

“Really, is that Sia?”

“Yes, I really missed you.”

“…me too.”

It was around this time that we were sharing a warm hug to commemorate that touching reunion.

Wood thud thud-

Suddenly, I heard a strange noise and felt the sensation in my arm disappear from the top of my elbow.

Both arms, too.

What followed was a mind-boggling pain.

‘Oh shit… It fucking hurts… Yeah… .’

I felt myself losing consciousness.

.

“Eww!”

“Oh, are you okay, oppa?!”

When I opened my eyes, Cynthia was right in front of me. I told her that it was okay, and then examined my arm.

“Ugh- Huh? Are you okay?”

“I, I’m sorry… I accidentally lost control of my strength.”

There was a brief incident, but it was completely resolved, so it didn’t matter. It was just a minor mistake made by Sia, not anyone else.

Of course, it was a minor mistake and I got seriously hurt, but my neck is still attached.

“It’s okay, Sia. Your arm seems to be better… Don’t make that mistake again. By the way, I should have said that first.”

I wondered if he had used a potion while he was unconscious. But this heals too fast… Anyway, that’s not what’s important right now, so let’s just skip over it.

I said to Cynthia.

“Welcome.”

“… I’m back.”

Cynthia smiled shyly and lowered her head.

***

‘They’re being ridiculous.’

Baek Jin-yool was looking at the returning Shinga forces and the elite magicians of the Madou Heavenly Family with tension.

There was a reason why Han Sung-jin and Cynthia waited for this while sharing a warm hug.

“What should I do? It seems like the tables have turned.”

“… Huh, really?”

Baek Jin-yool smiled bitterly at Cheon So-hye, who was smiling at him. After all, if the guys from the Magic Heavenly Family weren’t in the Black Tower, they would be half-dead. Most of them could be wiped out with just the main family’s power. The problem is… They were a new family, so they had already fought them once and been defeated, and judging by their appearance, their bodies were probably clean on the outside, but they were rotten on the inside. If they were to wander around in this situation, they would likely encounter monsters, so they must have fought countless battles.

‘If we do it right… we can wipe out two of the Seven Great Families at once. If we do it wrong, the consequences will be absurdly large… but opportunities like this don’t come easily.’

Baek Jin-yool did the math in his head.

And I made a decision. This is a profitable thing. It’s not high risk, high return.

High risk, super high return.

It’s something worth doing.

“Hey, sorry, but why did you come back? To get back the family that was taken away from you?”

Baek Jin-yool put his hand on the door and sent a magic signal. It was a signal to gather all the family power that had been involved in the conflict with the outside world.

If there were only the Heavenly House, I would try to avoid fighting as much as possible, but if there were also the Sing House, it would be a different story. I had secretly regretted letting them live after defeating them earlier… But now, I thought I could deal with them cleanly.

‘I gave the signal, so he’ll come soon… Now, I just need to buy time by provoking him appropriately.’

Baek Jin-yool looked at Cheon So-hye, Cynthia, and Han Seong-jin once each, then looked at Shin Dong-baek and continued speaking.

“A group of wizards who lost their magic tower, some people who were kicked out of their homes, and a guy with a lot of money. Do you think you can do anything with these three shabby combinations?”

“… Baek Jin-yool, you’re crazy.”

Cheon So-hye glared at Baek Jin-yool, gritting her teeth.

“Why, shoot some magic? Shoot. At that moment, Baekga and Cheonga will be at war. If they fight in this situation, who will benefit… It’s obvious, right?”

He deliberately provoked Cheon So-hye, hoping that she would attack him. The moment she attacked, he planned to wipe out the Magic Heavenly Family with the family’s power and swallow up all their assets.

After the situation is resolved, he plans to take over the assets and technologies owned by the Magic Heavenly Family, including the two Black Towers.

If you eliminate the Magic Heavenly House, won’t things get worse after the situation is resolved? There’s no need to worry about that.

There is nothing that cannot be done in this country under the name of the Seven Great Powers. If you give a bribe to the person who holds power for five years and block the media, this will never leak out.

Any citizens who witnessed the incident?

There is no such person. Even if there were, it would be impossible, and even if there were, it would be eliminated.

“You fucking retard, you piece of shit. That’s why your father died too.”

“… You, you’re definitely crossing the line.”

“Don’t just talk, come at me. Or… should I go?”

Baek Jin-yool sensed the family’s power gathering behind him through his intelligence and took action in earnest. He raised his spear and aimed it at Cheon So-hye.

He is infused with magical power and is ready to unleash his spear spirit at any time.

At the same time, Cheon So-hye was about to open the magic book and recite a spell.

“…I can’t stand to see it.”

“what?”

“Baek Jin-yul’s family. No, Baek Jin-yul.”

“Think of me as dead today. No. I won’t kill you. But you’ll end up thinking you’d rather die.”

“Huh, huh? Sia?”

“Sia, wait a minute…!”

Despite Shin Dong-baek and Han Sung-jin’s dissuasion, Cynthia released her magical power and moved forward. Strangely, the distance between Baek Jin-yool and Cynthia, which had been more than ten steps apart, suddenly narrowed, and Cynthia appeared in front of him.

“Are you ready?”
