Chapter 548 – Mischievous Humiliation

@@

Ka-ga-ga-ga-!

Sparks flying in all directions.
Irene, who reversed her great sword and blocked the waves of Rachel’s endless sword blows,

Pfft-!

She frowned at the stinging pain rising in her own calf.

“Tsk…!”

One of her many swords sliced ​​through his leg.
It was a shame she was protected by Aether, otherwise her legs would have been cut off.

Rachel was truly attacking herself.
She honestly didn’t expect it to be like this. I thought she would panic a little more after being stabbed in the back of the head by her colleague… But the speed with which she regained her composure was ridiculously fast.

There’s a rumor that she’s the chief secretary’s most trusted hero… And that’s right.

Pak-!

Irene, who blocked Rachel’s attack with her arm, spoke with a sincere tone.

“Amazing?”

“Stop empty words.”

“It’s not empty words. “I’m serious.”

“Sigh…!”

Did he think that this interlude was just a ploy to waste time?
Rachel caught her breath and lunged forward, closing the distance in an instant.

You can go head-to-head with Rachel like this, but close combat is at a huge disadvantage.
If only Grace was by her side, she would be confident in dealing with Rachel, Yoo Seung-hyun, or both, but she is alone now.

The owner’s order was to take a reasonable amount of time, and the interior of the command room was being cleaned up, so it seemed right to stop fighting now.

Kaaaaang-!

Irene made her threat rather loudly, swatting Rachel’s thrust aside with a jaunty sound.

“If you come any closer, I will blow off the chief secretary’s head.”

Then Rachel paused, trying to keep up her momentum.
Irene took advantage of that opportunity and continued her words.

“It’s a long way away, but I’m sure you feel it too. “How is the situation in the command center going?”

“…”

She was as she said.
In the command room, victory or defeat has already been clearly revealed.
Female agents with magical energy killed most of the male agents and were capturing the remaining people whose resistance was weakened.

Rachel’s resolve to end this duel with her speed has failed.
From the beginning, the probability of success was extremely slim.
The difference in power within the command center was so large.

“Shit…”

Rachel, unable to overcome her anger, clenched her fists.
While she was doing this, many casualties occurred.
The good news was that the chief of staff was okay… But that alone wasn’t any consolation.

In addition, the huge Evilion energy felt from afar was also a factor of anxiety.
At least S-class… No, energy far beyond S-class has taken hold at some point and is watching Yoo Seung-hyun, who is fighting with himself and the energy that appears to be Grace’s at the headquarters.

If this is the case, it’s as if we’re under siege.
I should have looked around a little more carefully… I feel angry.
While Rachel, feeling helpless and defeated, confronts Irene with various feelings of self-destruction, in a passageway inside the headquarters…

Fuuuh-!

“Ugh!”

Yoo Seung-hyun was busy blocking Grace’s offensive.

“Why…!”

Even though I continued to ask questions from earlier, I didn’t hear an answer from Grace.
She could only purse her lips and attack Yoo Seung-hyun herself.
With eyes full of guilt.

“Gray…”

Whoa!

Yoo Seung-hyeon, who desperately tried to call Grace, was frightened and raised his arms when a large sword flew in front of his nose.

Kaan-! Kwasik!

Although he blocked the attack, the force was so strong that his body was smashed against the wall.
Yoo Seung-hyun, who was slightly buried inside as a crack appeared in the extremely strong wall of the headquarters, gritted his teeth and escaped from the wall.

‘Damn…’

The energy of monsters is fluctuating around me.
Evidence of an attack.
If things continue like this, the agents’ sacrifices will increase.

‘We must counterattack…’

His head understood that he had to subdue Grace, but his heart wouldn’t let him do it.
My heart ached very much. His comrade points a sword at him, and he himself attacks his comrade.

Yoo Seung-hyun’s eyes changed as he felt great regret at his own indecisiveness.
Rather than continuing like this, I decided to fight with Grace for now.

Did you notice his thoughts?
Grace, who was taking a stance while rotating her greatsword with one hand, suddenly hit the floor with her greatsword.

Kwaduk-! Wooooow…!

At the same time, a bright glow arises from where the sword was inserted.
Yoo Seung-hyun, who noticed that Grace was trying to destroy the surroundings, opened his mouth.

“Grace! “You now…!”

With that level of force, not only would the entire passage be destroyed, but we would also have to worry about casualties.
Proof that they are not even thinking about the safety of the command staff.
When Yoo Seung-hyeon, who was surprised by him, tried to rush at him,

Whoops!

A creepy portal, a passage for monsters, appeared behind Grace.

Hot!

He swallowed her whole.
Yoo Seung-hyun’s legs stopped at what happened in the blink of an eye.

‘W-what is it…?’

Grace’s aura, which had been giving off a sinister force just now, disappeared as if it had been erased from this world.
The same goes for far up in the air. Irene’s Aether, who was dealing with Rachel, disappeared without a trace.

That wasn’t all.
All traces of the monsters that attacked the headquarters have completely disappeared.
It seemed correct to say that the energy itself had disappeared. It was as if I had entered a portal.

“What is this… What’s going on…”

Yoo Seung-hyun was confused and looked around.
A passageway shattered with traces of a duel.
From one of the broken walls, Rachel appeared.

She, whose suit was torn in several places, also had the same expression as Yoo Seung-hyun.
Still, Lee Seong came back faster than Yoo Seung-hyeon, and she grabbed his shoulder and shook him as he was unable to come to his senses.

“Wake…! “The chief secretary has disappeared…!”

“W-what…? “The chief secretary?”

“Not only that, but all the agents in the command room are gone. “That portal… You saw it too, right?”

“Saw…! “Grace right in front of my eyes…”

“So do i. I was fighting with Irene when he suddenly got on it and disappeared. “I think the portal was carrying monsters and kidnapping the chief secretary and the agents.”

“So… What on earth is happening now…!?”

“I don’t know. Like you, I don’t understand. But one thing is for sure, we are completely screwed now.”

I can clearly agree with that much.
They are now in the worst situation… No, worse than that.

I don’t know why it happened like this.
I wish someone could explain. Understanding is needed.
Right now, Yoo Seung-hyun’s mind was in such a complicated state that he could only think of such things.

In particular, the arrow that appears to have been shot by Yuria.
He was especially confused because it attacked him.

“First of all… Let’s take care of the injured first. “We have to help.”

Yoo Seung-hyun shook his head at Rachel’s next words and nodded with a stern expression.
The moment the two people, who had resolved to bury their doubts for now, were about to move their bodies,

Cheesy!

A noise came from the communication device worn in Yoo Seung-hyun’s ear, and a familiar… And long-missed voice was heard.

-… Hyuna, can you hear me? Seunghyun, answer me.

Sehwa was a lover who loved her dearly, but has now become a precious friend.

Yoo Seung-hyun, whose eyes widened at the sudden sound of her beautiful voice, raised his voice.

“Sehwa…? “Is it Sehwa?”

-That’s right. Where are you now? Command post?

“Huh. Now…”

-I also have a general understanding of it because the doctor explained it to me. Were you attacked by a monster?

“Oh, that’s right… Is the headquarters also…?”

-Okay. Monsters came here too. Yuria and the others suddenly…

Sehwa is speechless.
Yoo Seung-hyun immediately realized what had happened to her.
Sehwa was also attacked by the Beast Slayers at headquarters.

If, for some reason, not only Grace and Irene, but also the Beast Slayers at headquarters went crazy…
In that case, it makes sense that Yuria’s arrow flew towards him.

Yoo Seung-hyun swallowed his saliva and asked.

“There… It’s just you and the doctor?”

-Yeah… The others were fighting with me, and then all of a sudden they all jumped through the monster portal…

It’s the same thing that he and Rachel went through.
It seems like it happened simultaneously.

Anyway, it’s just the two of us…
Of the five headquarters Beast Slayers, four defected?
Why? Could it be that the Evilion energy within their bodies was causing mental confusion?
I know that Sehwag also has Evilion energy in his body… But I suddenly feel worried.

First of all, it is clear that we cannot just sit there like this.
Dr. Sehwawa needs help now.
The same goes for myself, Rachel, and Command.
Joining forces is an urgent priority.

“Sehwa, do you want to come here now? “Can you come?”

-There is. The portal is broken… But the fighter remains.

“Then come with the doctor. “The same thing happened to us too.”

-Okay…! I’ll be going soon.

“Okay. There are a lot of wounded on our side… I think communication should end here. “Come and let’s talk.”

-Yeah… I’m sorry…
