Chapter 547 – Internal Strife #3

Grace is fidgeting in front of me.
I said, looking down at her as she knelt down in the only safe room in her command center.

“I’m sure he told you to take your time dealing with Yoo Seung-hyun, right?”

“Well, that is…”

“Are you hesitant? “Putting a knife in a colleague’s back?”

“… Sorry. “If you give me one more chance…”

“I am very disappointed.”

A very cold tone of voice.
Grace, startled by this, pulled her knees closer to me.

“Boo, please… I’ll do better this time…!”

It’s worth seeing him trying to grab the crotch of his pants, but then realizing that he can’t just touch his owner, so he just hangs his head in shame.
Who would call a child like this a hero? Rosario may be shedding bloody tears.

“It is done.”

“Master…! Please…! I made a mistake because my judgment was clouded by the emotion of the moment…! “I won’t make any mistakes this time…”

I have no choice but to show you mercy when you ask for it that much.
I asked, grabbing Grace’s chin and lifting her head up.

“It’s your last chance, can you do well?”

“Yes…! Yes!!”

“If I kill him, I will kill him?”

“Yes, that’s right…!”

I can see any remaining hesitation disappearing.
It is a will that I like. However, Yoo Seung-hyun’s end belongs to Sehwa.
All Grace needs to do is bide her time so the monster can run wild.

“You’re good at talking after you just ran away.”

“I won’t do that anymore…!”

“Try to trust me for the last time.”

“Yes…! Thank you!”

Grace, with a bright color on her face, flinched as if she was going to kick out the door at any moment.
I answered Grace by raising one corner of her mouth, and watched her get up and leave her room and put on her communication device.
Afterwards, I contacted Sehwa, who was waiting for this situation more than anyone else.

@@

Kaaaaang-!

‘Pfft!’

My whole body is shaking.
That’s how powerful it was. Irene’s attack.
Moreover, his weapon was much smaller than Irene’s great sword, so there was a high possibility that he would be defeated in a head-on fight.

No, I don’t know why we’re fighting like this in the first place.
Rachel, who flopped down in the air, shouted at Irene, who was standing far away, watching her every move with her eyes wide open.

“What are you doing! Why are you attacking me! “While we are doing this, the command center is…”

“I told you. “Don’t disturb the master.”

“So who is the master?”

“Shut up.”

There is no sign of retreating at all.
Judging by the way things were going, Irene seemed to be undergoing something similar to her brainwashing.
She had no idea how she had brought down that strong child, but seeing as she was pointing a knife at her, she knew for sure.

Irene asked, quickly grasping the situation.

“Does Grace know you’re doing this?”

“Know. “Her sister is the same.”

Are you saying that even Grace suffered?
It’s hopeless.

I was confident that I could beat Irene, who had been pathetically attacked by a monster.
Because if she is not with Grace, she is weaker than herself or Yoo Seung-hyun.
Same goes for Grace. These two exert greater power when together.

The problem is that even if you can win, it takes time.
If Irene and Grace took the time to take charge of herself and Yoo Seung-hyun… The headquarters would be completely destroyed.

“Are you sure you want to fight me?”

In response to Rachel’s chilling question, which lowered her gaze, Irene nodded her head while clutching her sword tightly and answered in a sarcastic tone.

“If you just say that, all the agents in the command room will die?”

“Good.”

Let’s think later about what happened to the kind Irene who changed in an instant.
The urgent priority now is to subdue Irene.
After making her judgment, Rachel unleashed the power of Aether flowing through her body to its fullest extent.

Puhwaak-!

At the same time, white brilliance fills the dark night sky.
Seeing the light shining brightly around her, Irene, who sensed that Rachel would come forward with all her might, also did her best to face it.

Saaagh…!

Although it was the same color of power, the force emitted was different.
If Rachel’s aether felt like it exploded all at once, Irene’s felt like it was spreading out, as if it was creeping… Encroaching.

‘There’s something else.’

Rachel, who felt the energy leaking from Irene with her whole body, kicked the air, thinking that maybe the magic energy in Irene’s body had done something.

Bwaaeng-!

She arrived right in front of Irene in a split second.
Rachel, who simultaneously fired multiple blades circling around her, vowed to quickly end the duel with Irene, who quickly swung her greatsword and began to block her barrage.

Meanwhile, Yoo Seung-hyun was still active near the armory.

Kwaduk-!

-Keek!

After eliminating the last remaining monster, he tilted his head as a huge force collided far from his headquarters.

‘It’s Rachel and Irene’s…?’

I can’t tell the details just by feeling the energy, but it seems like something is wrong.
It’s strange that Irene, who should have supported her command center in the first place, disappeared.
Yoo Seung-hyeon, who sensed that the situation was taking an unusual turn, spoke to the agents gathered around him.

“Please take your weapons and provide support elsewhere. Currently, Evilion energy can be felt throughout the headquarters, and the monsters from the northeast passage to the main auditorium are all rated F. “You should focus on drilling through this area and use the main auditorium as a temporary base.”

The agents, whose morale was boosted by the clear explanation and trustworthy attitude shown just now, responded unanimously.

“”All right.””

Yoo Seung-hyun, who organized the armory, found Grace while dealing with high-level monsters that agents could not deal with.
I thought he went somewhere else to apply, but where is he?

At the moment when I was moving quickly with such thoughts,

Wow!

The wall in front of Yoo Seung-hyeon’s eyes collapsed as if it had been shattered, and Grace came out from there.
Yoo Seung-hyun stopped in his tracks and asked.

“Grace? “Where on earth have you been?”

“…”

She didn’t answer.
She hesitated, but at the same time, with a face full of determination, she just blocked Yoo Seung-hyun’s path.
Yoo Seung-hyun, who was watching Grace’s condition, suddenly had a question in her mind.

Grace has not used Aether’s power.
But how was it possible to break down that solid wall?

And, as she had thought about before, she is curious about the source of the Evilion energy inherent within her body.
Besides… It seemed like the energy was released when the wall was shattered…

“Grace, you…”

“Sorry.”

The moment Yoo Seung-hyun trailed off, the hesitation disappeared from Grace’s eyes.
She stroked the device on her wrist as if it were precious and transformed while Yoo Seung-hyun was confused.

Haha!

A blindingly bright white light completely filled the passageway.
Yoo Seung-hyun, dazzled by the transformation without even controlling his strength, covered his forehead with his hand.
At that time,

‘Uh?’

Seunghyun Yoo’s spine sent shivers down his spine.
It wasn’t anything else, it was because I felt a murderous intent coming from behind at an incredible speed.
Startled, he turned his body and swung his fist.

Kwaaaaa!

Yoo Seung-hyun took a couple of steps back after drinking heavily.
What he saw when he was suddenly ambushed was,

Sssss…!

It was a green arrow that pierced the headquarters’ extremely sturdy building, was shot at him, and was scattered on the floor… It was losing its light.

“This…?”

Seunghyun Yoo checked it out and thought it looked very familiar.
He had clearly seen this arrow before.
Not directly, but I’ve seen him a few times in the media.
He even had a deep relationship with the owner of this arrow. Although we are not very friendly.

‘Yuria…?’

It was a bit vague, but it was certain.
This was Yuria’s arrow. A mysterious arrow created when she transforms into a Beast Slayer and pulls the bowstring.

Why was this shot at me?
I don’t know. I couldn’t possibly interpret this situation that was happening right now with my own head.

“Tsk…”

A tingling pain coming from the arm that blocked the arrow.
Yoo Seung-hyeon, who was frowning at that, looked at the wall of the headquarters that had been pierced by the arrow.

‘I don’t feel it.’

No matter where I try, I can’t feel Yuria’s unique clear energy.
Was it sniping? Or was it not Yuria, but someone else… No, it wasn’t a person, but something similar to a monster?

If so, how could something shoot Yuria’s arrow?
Did Yuria get hit? Is it possible that support cannot come to headquarters because the headquarters is also under attack?

Yoo Seung-hyun was lost in thought, wrapping his head around his increasingly complicated thoughts.

“Huh!?”

When I felt a deadly force coming from behind, I turned around, scared as I was before blocking the arrow.

Wedge-!

A great sword of enormous size. Grace is seen swinging it.
The destination of one sharp blade that seems to gently tear your skin with just a touch is…
It was Yoo Seung-hyun’s own neck.

“Sigh!”

Kaan-!
