Chapter 2244 – 2244. Rezo

I went up to the roof of the association with Lee Yeon-sook and other tailors.

A bitter wind blew and hit my body. There was no one here whose body would be shaken by the wind.

Miryeong approached the place where the magic stones were piled up. It was worth 200 billion won, but it was not as much as I thought. Because they were all high-purity S-class or higher magic stones. Expensive things worth at least 100 million.

The size wasn’t too big. Most are about 15 cm in diameter. If it is S grade or higher, it is more affected by purity than size.

Miryeong starts. Following her gesture, the accumulated magic stones began to emit a soft light. A halo of light begins to gather around her.

Those lights are mana, and mana becomes a magic trick and disappears. Even if you can’t see it, it exists. This is just a process to be reborn as a technique.

Mi-ryeong’s hand gestures continued for 30 minutes. On the outside, not much had changed. But the density of this rooftop space she is in has become ridiculously high for her. Association employees below level B could not stand it and had to go downstairs.

When you use Cheonan, you can see magic tricks spinning around Miryeong. It was a sad sight to see alone, but there was no way to see it with others.

There were people who understood Miryeong’s techniques differently than I did.

“Are they combining hundreds of techniques into one and creating a barrier? It’s impossible to handle a huge amount of energy at once, so I think it was done this way… I can’t believe this is possible. I never thought there would be such talent in Korea…”

Kim Ji-hak, the director of the Wizarding Nation, was filled with admiration. It was like this 10 minutes ago. Because he is a wizard, he feels different.

“…”

Lee Yeon-sook did not respond in particular. However, the woman who continued to smoke in her conference room was now just watching Mi-ryeong with her cigarette in her hand. Stay focused for 30 minutes.

Since each of them is a magician and a barrier priest, they must feel what I did not feel and understand what I did not understand.

‘One thing is certain: Miryeong’s level is incredible. Well, that’s something I already knew.’

In reality, there will be no magician who can follow Miryeong. In the first place, there seems to be a slight difference between Miryeong’s magic and reality’s magic.

“Okay, let’s get started!”

Miryeong shouted, stretching out her arms and spreading her palms. The magic she created was created as a barrier and covered the entire Seoul.

The scene seen through Cheonan was a shower of blue light falling on Seoul.

The barrier lasted about 15 seconds. After that, it disappeared without a trace. It was a barrier for exploration, so it’s not particularly important.

“Miryeong. What was the result?”

Kim Ji-hak asked nervously. If you fail, you’ll have lost 200 billion won, so of course you’ll be nervous.

“It was successful. “I’ll mark it on the floor.”

Mi-ryeong waves her hands towards her bottom. A map of Seoul was drawn on the concrete floor. Blue dots, orange dots, and blue dots were displayed on the map.

“Explain.”

Yeon-sook Lee said while looking at her map.

“I will do it even if you don’t. If you look here, most of the dots are blue, right? This too is a curse. Would you say it’s an ordinary curse that doesn’t threaten your life? “More than 30,000 people in Seoul have this curse.”

“It’s different from what I know. Aren’t there about 10,000 curse victims in Seoul?”

“… There are approximately 10,000 confirmed victims. Light curses occur due to environmental factors… “Most people probably don’t know that they are under a curse.”

Kim Ji-hak said as if making an excuse.

I know a bit about curses because I learned something in college. The light curse he is talking about is probably a light curse, such as making your skin itchy or having nightmares. Usually, these mild curses go away on their own. Even if that’s not the case, you can go to the hospital and have it cleaned up. Still, 30,000 seems a bit high.

“What is the orange dot?”

“It’s a curse that is life-threatening. “I’ll probably die within 3 years due to the curse?”

There were roughly 500 orange dots. The majority were gathered in one place. I knew it was a hospital.

“Miryeong. Can I record this? If your life is at risk, I think you need separate management.”

“Please. The red dot is a curse that is above the level. A total of 24. “I need to check for myself.”

Lee Yeon-sook looked at her map and tapped a few places.

“Leave this one out. “I can guess who it is.”

One of the red dots she removed was in a familiar hospital.

This is the hospital where Park Ga-in, Park Soo-ho’s younger sister, was admitted. Because Park Ga-in suffers from the curse of Baek-taek.

‘Maybe Miryeong can solve Baektaek’s curse.’

There are a total of 8 unconfirmed red dots.

“Kim Ji-hak, I will check on these four. Don’t approach too hastily, just specify the location. If it is not a biological bomb, bring it to a special hospital and isolate it. If a bio-bomb is suspected… Don’t force contact; lure them in an indirect way. “If you try to force it, it will explode.”

“Yes. “I will do as you say.”

Lee Yeon-sook also gave instructions to Mi-ryeong and me.

“You go to the designated location and wait. “I need to backtrack.”

I nodded and answered.

“Of course.”

The location chosen by Lee Yeon-sook was a small village a little far from Seoul. Although it is a village close to Seoul, it has no infrastructure and no people. However, the roads and houses were neatly maintained, so it was a place that felt strange. There was a large tree at the end of the village. The tree looks like it is overlooking the village.

“Hmm. It’s a very magical place. “Is that tree a guardian tree?”

Miryeong, who was looking here and there, smiled as if it was interesting.

“Guardian tree? What are you talking about? “I don’t feel any special mana or anything.”

“It’s not a spell that has a direct effect. Would you say it is closer to the origin? Now, look at this town here. When you look at the location of the house and the shape of the road, doesn’t something come to mind?”

“What comes to mind?”

“Look closely. “In detail.”

I narrowed my eyes and looked down at the village. After looking at it like that for a while, I suddenly realized.

“… Korean peninsula? Home is the region and city. The road is a river. “Is that reservoir over there in Jeju Island?”

“Yes. That’s right. As I said before, it doesn’t have a direct effect, but… I guess it will prevent some of the bad energy heading towards Korea? Well, I would rather say that it is a suitable place to use magic. It would be easy to backtrack from here.”

Was there a place like this in Korea? I found out about it for the first time because I wasn’t interested.

It may not be that surprising, given that magic and sorcery have existed for thousands of years. The number of awakened people increased significantly with the creation of the gate. In terms of time, it is only a few decades.

After some time, several cars arrived at the entrance to the village. The car stopped without entering the village even though there was enough space. People in suits, including Lee Yeon-sook and Kim Ji-hak, got out of the car. The association staff approached, dragging the arrested person.

“There are five bio-bombs. What they all have in common is that they are all witch doctors who learned from someone. That someone is probably Rezo. Since each person remembered a different face, it was impossible to trace it. Backtracking through curses. Is it possible?”

Lee Yeon-sook had a cigarette in her mouth. Mi-ryeong stared at the arrested people.

“You sealed the biobomb curse?”

“It would be difficult if it exploded in the middle. Should I break the seal?”

Mi-ryeong shook her head and answered Kim Ji-hak’s question.

“Well done. Just because it’s sealed doesn’t mean the curse itself disappears. It’s easier to backtrack. Let’s get started. “I don’t really need a jujube tree that was struck by lightning.”

Shoot aaaaa.

The guardian tree behind Mi-ryeong sways without wind. As she watched in surprise, Mi-ryeong said.

“It’s on an unknown mountain in Yeoju. I’ll tell you the exact location by looking at the map. “Is it possible to live a natural life in the mountains?”

“When we discovered it in Europe, it was still in the mountains. “It’s not particularly surprising.”

Yeon-sook Lee took out a map of Yeoju City on her smartphone. Mi-ryeong points to a place with her finger and gives instructions to others.

“Kim Ji-hak. Cooperate with the police and seal off the surrounding area. Move carefully so as not to be caught. “I will handle Rezo myself.”

“… Shouldn’t we ask other S-class hunters for cooperation?”

“Rezo’s subjugation in Europe ended in vain. Rezo’s military power was the lowest among S-class. “Europe simply overreacted because it was scared of Reggio’s terrorist acts.”

“It makes sense. Right now, Korea is on the verge of falling into panic. In particular, the Republic of Korea is not resistant to terrorism… “I will handle the work as instructed.”

Lee Yeon-sook looked back at us.

“What are you going to do? You’ve done enough, so you can get out of here. Compensation will be paid based on Seong Yu-jin’s performance as you wish. I’ll also give you compensation as a bonus. “It won’t be much.”

Mi-ryeong looked at me. She handed over the choice to me.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to go back and enjoy a date night with Miryeong.

“Can I follow you?”

“I can’t protect you. Even if you follow me and die for no reason, don’t blame me. “Do you have insurance?”

“I will follow you. “We take care of our bodies.”

It was an opportunity to see a battle between S-classes. How can I pass up this opportunity? Some say that watching a fight is the most fun next to fire fighting.

“Move immediately.”

Arrived at destination. The blockade had already begun. At this point, Rezo would have realized that his location was discovered.

Lee Yeon-sook calmly walked to the mountain with a cigarette in her mouth. Even though it was a mountain, she had no qualms about smoking.

A strong presence was felt in the center of the mountain. It was clear that Rezo was an S-class criminal. He wasn’t hiding and was waiting for us.

“Ah, this mountain itself is stained with a curse. It’s a big deal.”

She suddenly spoke as if Mi-ryeong was sighing.

“What’s the big deal?”

“So this mountain became a curse bomb… It’s going to explode.”

“When?”

“… 3.”

“3 minutes?”

“2. 1.”

Kwahiah ahhhhh!
