The Returner Wants Complete Victory

13 – 013. Raid (3)

A void filled with darkness, darker than the night sky.

I know that phenomenon.

Separately classified under the name Hive Mind, they are the highest level commanders of only 30 units in a Chimera army of over millions.

They think and learn like humans, but they are given abilities close to supernatural powers that humans cannot handle.

It is given a unique name according to its ability.

Unlike ordinary chimeras, which are classified by species and type, this is a one-of-a-kind entity in the world.

The only species.

“Raven… !”

Seongho Kim let out a suppressed scream as he saw the monster with four black wings floating in front of the void.

A chimera with the appearance of a fallen angel and grotesquely long arms.

I couldn’t help but burst into laughter when I saw that.

“You really made up your mind, you bastard… .”

In the first place, the seal of the ancient evil god has not been completely released.

Even two years from now, there are only 12 species that are fully under the control of the ancient evil spirit.

Then there is nothing to say now.

Considering the fact that the seal accelerates as it begins to be released, at the moment, there are at most four or five unique species under the control of the ancient evil god.

One of them was thrown into the middle of the enemy lines to catch me.

When Raven swung her arm, the flames that had been lighting up everywhere were sucked into the black hole.

“Acurus! Shine the light!”

Kim Seong-ho shouted urgently.

The judgment was quick, but the enemy was even faster.

“aaah!”

“aaah!”

“help me!”

The moment the flames cleared, Nightshade, who had jumped into the crowd of chicks, began to run wild like a wolf encountering a flock of sheep.

To make matters worse, when Nightshade’s reinforcements arrived, the defense line collapsed in an instant.

A decision had to be made.

Since my opponent bet first, I have to choose between dying or following him.

I didn’t think it would be easy, but from the beginning, it felt like I was being dragged around by the enemy’s direction, which made me feel bad.

I opened the status window and invested all 103 points in magic.

2. Status

– Strength: 18

– Agility: 17

– Senses: 20

– Stamina: 16

– mana: 104 (1+103)

“View Details”

I felt my empty core filling up as if it was boiling.

Magical power is a heterogeneous power in many ways.

First of all, it is the case that it accumulates in an independent organ that is not originally in our body called the core, and it also flows through a completely different path called a circuit.

Strength that is too high compared to your physical strength will destroy your body, and agility that is too high compared to your senses will make you unable to control your body.

In this way, all stats interact with each other, but magic power is relatively free from that bond.

Magic power can make your strength stronger, your body faster, it can make you feel things you wouldn’t have felt before, and it can force your body to stand up when it should have collapsed from exhaustion.

And, it is the only power that can overcome limitations at will.

Core explosion.

Then, if the core is completely damaged, there is no answer, but I am also an expert in this field.

Hwareuk.

I felt like fire was rising inside my body.

The core, which had begun to run away, released magical energy throughout the body, and the narrowed circuit swelled as if it would explode.

“Senior, your eyes… .”

Bo-kyung, who was sitting across from me, trailed off as if she was surprised.

The first symptom you see when your magical energy goes out of control is a burning blue glow in your eyes.

As the process progresses further, vaporized magical power begins to flow out of the mouth, ears, and nose.

Sadly, I know better than anyone else what happens if it gets to that point, having seen it several times before regression.

Before that happens, we need to finish it quickly and quickly.

“Romune.”

The pure form of the starter word, without any made-up words that embody magic, was put into my mouth.

The source of all light magic.

It is originally a magic that can simply be said to be the basic of the basics of calling out light, but its meaning is different when it is called by a qualified person.

After my short chant, the sky opened.

The light that was leaking from the narrow gap gradually spread out, illuminating the ground with such white brilliance that one almost thought it was day.

The beam of light pouring from the sky melted the nightshade, and people who suffered burns from not being able to withstand the light sought to hide under the building.

And then, a giant appeared through the open sky.

The source of all light magic.

And, Romune, the spirit of light that has existed since the beginning.

A spear of light is held in the hand of a giant with only his upper body exposed,

Coo coo coo coo ─

Soon, a flash of light struck Raven.

*

Chae Yoon was running on his short legs to the point where his feet were cramping.

Was 7 minutes really that long?

Blood was flowing from my clenched lips, but I had no time to worry about that.

The only species, individual name Raven, appears.

In fact, Raven’s appearance itself is not that big of a deal.

Of course, it is true that it is a powerful enemy that cannot be dealt with at the level of the current mercenaries, but if the asymmetrical power of the unique species appears, a card to counter it will also appear.

article.

When there is an attack like this, the nation passes the battle over to mercenaries who are no different from expendables, as if it were a natural thing.

Soldiers prioritize the evacuation of citizens, and knights prioritize the protection of important personnel, including lords.

But when a unique species appears, priorities are reversed.

Because subjugating Yuiljong is a closer path to victory than protecting the lord.

The problem is time.

How long will it take for the driver to arrive?

Indeed, will the people on the scene be able to survive until then?

His subordinates and Kim Seong-ho were there.

“Faster, faster… !”

Even though he knew that his subordinates were already reaching their limit, he urged them on.

“Captain, that… .”

When I looked back, I saw one of my subordinates pointing to the sky with a dumbfounded look on his face.

The moment I could not overcome my nervousness and was about to get angry at my subordinate, a bright light came from behind my head.

Chae Yoon turned forward again, following his subordinate’s finger, and saw an unbelievable sight.

The sky opens,

Light pours in,

A giant shining so brightly that it was difficult to even dare to look through the gap appeared.

As the giant raised his spear in his hand, a tremor in the air was felt all the way to this far away place.

And the moment the giant struck down a beam of light,

Hwaak─

Biiiiiiiiiiii─

My vision suddenly flickered in the burst of light, and tinnitus rang in my ears as I could not bear the binge drinking.

“OMG… .”

What on earth happened?

For the first time since Chae Yoon had an intuition, she faced something she couldn’t even imagine.

*

“I’m holding on to this.”

Raven was floating in the sky, looking miserable.

The four wings were torn like tatters, and the left arm that was raised to block the spear was completely gone below the elbow.

But even after that, it was still floating in the sky.

“Romune-Glacier.”

I summoned a spear of light similar to the one the giant threw and held it in my hand.

Although the size is small, the principle is the same.

Raven also seemed to have noticed this and turned her gaze towards me.

Although it is summoned, it cannot be thrown.

The one who created this spear was magic, but the one who throws it is me.

With 17 agility and 20 senses, there is no way he could hit Raven, whose average stats are close to 120.

But I lifted the spear as if to throw it.

I’m a bright apricot who has nothing except magic power, but Decalune doesn’t know that.

The only memories Decalun has are memories from before the ancient evil god died.

Only I in this world knows the details of the final transaction.

ruler. I returned with all my strength.

That’s a pretty valuable resource for you too.

Now is the last chance to retreat.

My opponent bet first, and I bluffed by pretending to have everything I had.

That split second until I summoned the spear and threw it.

I don’t know what Decalun was worried about, but a void opened behind Raven just like when she first appeared.

When I pretended to throw the spear, Raven quickly threw herself toward the black hole, like a mouse that meets a cat.

“Push… .”

Even though I wasn’t in a situation to laugh, I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw that shabby appearance.

So, if you get hit once and you think it’s not right, you should get rid of it right away.

Where are you in form?

“Running away… !”

“catch!”

“What did you catch? “Take care of the chicks first!”

People who had been hiding under the building to avoid the light ran out.

Most of them were mercenaries who guarded the procession.

The chicks who had just finished the tutorial were lying unconscious here and there, apparently unable to withstand the explosion that exploded right above their heads.

Are the kids safe?

From the moment the light hit, I protected the surroundings with mana, but I didn’t have that much time to spare, so I didn’t pay enough attention to it.

While looking around to see if anyone was hurt, I found Eunha hugging the unconscious Bo-kyung.

Fortunately, there didn’t seem to be any major injuries.

“Are you okay?”

“huh. you?”

Seo Eun-ha saw what I did right next to me and responded as usual.

Is it because of his intuitive nature, or is it because he has a somewhat calm personality?

“I’m fine, but I’m probably going to pass out soon.”

“why?”

Eunha’s eyes widened at my answer.

Of course, since the core exploded, the recoil caused him to pass out.

This is an unavoidable phenomenon that cannot be avoided even if your stamina exceeds 100.

I quickly poured out what I had to say before I passed out.

“You will probably faint for about 2-3 days, but if another mercenary group asks you to sign a contract in the meantime, you must not do so. remember. Never interfere with a contract. “I said it clearly.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Eunha Seo was seen leaning to the side and falling down.

No, no. I’m falling down.

“Sleep… !”

The last thing I saw was Eunha putting down her eyesight and throwing herself at me, and my vision went black.

By the way, how do I fix this?

I’d rather just hit my head on the ground and lose my memory.
