Episode 160 [ Slum, Spirit King’s Daughter – 3 ]
——————————
Jack Hamilton is seen from the window of a cheap hotel room at a shopping center. I was looking at the ‘hive’.
‘There… Jane is being held.’
Earlier, the ‘guest’ tortured the ‘geeks’ to find out some information, and Jack listened from the side.
The people who kidnapped her were a notorious player criminal organization named [Amaranth].
In this field, they are known as the best group of problem solvers that high-ranking people look to to solve problems.
Because it is made up of skilled veterans, it has a power comparable to that of most strategy guilds.
‘There must be a lot of people like that in there, right?’
At that time, a man came to my side. As expected, he was a short man with his face covered by a mask.
“Are you worried about your friend over there?”
It seemed like he was trying to comfort him, but his voice was creeping as if he lacked confidence.
“Ah, yes…”
But Jack had just confirmed with his own eyes that his skills were not average either.
There, standing in front of another window , When the woman created a whirlwind,
I saw this man freely controlling a large amount of electric current and injecting it into the whirlwind.
It seemed to be a kind of ‘control type’ ability that was impossible with ordinary magic.
Who on earth is Jane’s father? I was just wondering if they had sent these people.
“But you don’t have to worry. “Everything will go according to plan.”
For some reason, it was a voice filled with firm confidence, and Jack tilted his head, unable to hide his curiosity.
“But the number of criminal gang players out there… must be over a hundred.”
I had seen how strong that unidentified man was earlier, but I couldn’t help but be worried.
No matter how perfect the plan was, and no matter how many talented people were involved, it was a dangerous situation.
‘And even sneaking in alone….’
Is he really going to kill Jane? Will we be able to save her? Wouldn’t she die if we messed with the hive for no reason?
But…
“Uh… everything will be fine, though. “I promise.”
This man didn’t stop his words even though his voice was creeping, and Jack tilted his head.
“…I don’t quite understand. “How can you be so sure?”
“I don’t think this is a particularly persuasive statement…”
He scratched his head and mumbled a few times before coming up with an answer.
“…I’ve never seen him fail before.”
Who on earth is that man to talk so proudly?…
Jack looked outside the window at a large building painted green—the Hive.
It was currently unknown what was happening there.
‘But the man’s attack methods… I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere before…’
Jack felt like something came to mind, but he couldn’t find the right answer. Seeing as all three of those sent by Jane’s father were not taking off their masks, there must have been a reason why they had to hide their identities.
At that time, Hannah Tate, who was standing next to her, muttered.
“Jack, could Nicole’s words… really be a prophecy?”
Nicole Hanna brought up the strange kid’s name again:
“He told me. This situation right now… Jane is in danger and someone will save her…”
But Jack didn’t believe such nonsense.
“Oh, if you metaphorize everything like the Tarot in that way, it seems like it’s right for some reason. Nicole: Just looking at him, he looks somewhat dark and is probably into the occult, like astrology. don’t mind.”
Nicole… she was a somewhat strange child, but she was close to being insane.
‘What kind of nonsense does it mean that that crazy guy is a prophet?’
There has only been one player in history who could be called a prophet, and he is now dead.
He was a far cry from the guy who got kicked out of the potion factory after barely lasting three days.
“Jack, I heard more than you. That’s not all.”
“What did you hear from her again? “It’s all nonsense—”
At that moment—the first floor window broke and something jumped out.
“-uh?”
Someone carrying a backpack soared into the sky while holding someone.
It was… Lee Hyun-wook, and the person he was holding was Jane.
‘Did they really save him? And that so quickly…’
Jack lowered his head with his mouth wide open. I stirred it. I wondered if this made sense.
The first to move was Sehee Kim. She opened the window.
“Take out Park Jun-mo Mjolnir and prepare fire support from the rear!”
After saying those words, Kim Se-hee jumped down four stories.
***
Yggdrasil A detachment of parasitic dark elves had infiltrated this great city.
‘The number I saw underground was approximately thirty to forty.’
Now that they knew each other’s identities, a battle was inevitable.
Now, we had to pour all our firepower into taking tactical advantage without having to hide our identity.
‘First, tear down the entire building and sweep away all the miscellaneous obstacles.’
Since the hive was a den of evil to begin with, I didn’t feel guilty about cleaning it in a somewhat rough way.
‘But in there… there was a level 119 dark elf boss monster.’
Lee Hyun-wook witnessed the guy’s ‘information’ at the moment he entered the first basement floor.
It seemed like he wasn’t going to die just because the building collapsed, so he had to prepare for a big battle.
Meanwhile, Maru was excitedly scraping the concrete of the building.
“Okay, I’ll destroy them all! I can’t stand it anymore! “Waaaa—”
The concrete exterior wall collapsed with a loud sound, like a sand castle.
Although the firepower was much less than when it was in a ‘runaway’ state right after coming out of the city vacuum cleaner,
scraping concrete was as easy as playing with clay for a grade A land spirit.
Lee Hyun-wook melted, crushed, and pulled out the exposed steel frames.
In just a few tens of seconds, the building shook dangerously and screams erupted from inside the building.
There was probably an escape procession going on… Maru piled up concrete debris in front of the door.
“Ugh—was that a bit too much?”
At that time, Hyunwook Lee detected several pillars that were carrying the most weight in the building.
‘This is the end.’
And the moment you give ‘metal fusion’ to the steel frame inside—
ku—gu—gu—gung——!
The entire building collapsed in an instant, sending whitish dust billowing high into the sky.
Residents in the area heard the violent roar and began to come out to the roadside in droves.
“What is this?”
“Ha, the hive… disappeared, right?”
It was a historic day when the backbone of Rutlet Town and a den of evil disappeared overnight.
“Huh—”
At that moment, Jane, who was in Lee Hyun-wook’s arms, opened her eyes and let out a rough breath.
“Hey, I’m sober… I haven’t come to my senses yet.”
She opened her eyes and was looking at Lee Hyun-wook, and her pupils were so wide.
“This is so unsettling…”
At this, Maru sounded the alarm in an urgent voice.
“That’s right! We have to avoid it right away! That guy is starting to run away.” Do it!”
It means that a runaway spirit loses its reason and exerts control over its properties beyond its limits. Perhaps
due to the shock of being trapped in the spirit prison, Jane lost her sense of reason.
“This water spirit is now everything that can be seen . “I’m going to stir up the water!”
And the one the runaway water spirit started to touch… was Lee Hyun-wook himself.
“—Pfft!”
‘Is it crazy that it’s making the moisture in my body boil?’
This level of detailed control of water properties was impossible even for the Spirit King of Water.
However, the runaway spirit forgets that it can disappear and goes beyond its limit.
‘But the limit can only be exceeded for a few minutes… We need to prevent runaway.’
Hyunwook Lee had stopped the runaway spirit colony a while ago. However, it was an unusual achievement achieved after meeting several conditions. He was powerless to stop the Spirit King’s daughter now.
‘In this state, both I and the Spirit King’s daughter will die!’
Hyunwook Lee produced metal and attached metal rings to Jane’s limbs, pushing her away.
At the same time, her body was bound with a bracelet filled from the right side: Gleipnir.
‘I don’t know if this will work…’
If Gleipnir, which can prevent the capture target from using skills and abilities, works, the problem is solved.
However…
– ‘Gleipnir’ is not applied because the ‘entity’ of the target is not detected.
It didn’t work because the spirit’s reality is not in that body but in another dimension – the phenomenal world.
“Ugh—!”
Before he knew it, the blood inside Lee Hyun-wook’s blood vessels was boiling and leaking out of his skin.
I felt like my heart was being squeezed like laundry, and I ended up coughing up a handful of blood.
Then, a nearby water and sewer pipe burst and a large amount of water began to gush into the sky.
“—What’s going on, boss!”
Kim Se-hee’s voice She rode the wind and glided across the asphalt.
“Don’t come any closer!”
“yes?”
“Get back!”
Lee Hyun-wook was able to withstand this strange attack with his strong bones, dragon power, mana shield, etc.
In addition, although their attributes were different, Maru, a grade A spirit, was helping with defense as much as possible.
On the other hand, in the case of Kim Se-hee, no matter how much of an elementalist she is, she will explode and die at once.
Still, Lee Hyun-wook prepared one last method for this moment.
“Team Leader Kim! Bring that girl Hannah Tate. Hurry!”
Lee Hyun-wook shouted and pushed Jane further into the sky.
‘Now, the only thing I could do was to keep her as far away as possible.’
As the distance grew, the strength of the power she could exert was bound to weaken.
She looked down at the ground with blurry eyes and struggled.
“Ugh—me—me—why—”
That once good face was distorted and dark. Anger began to appear.
It was not hostility born of bad feelings, but a survival instinct born of despair.
“Do something! You’ll disappear in a few minutes in that state!”
Lee Hyun-wook said that just protecting his life for now would be enough. No.
“—I brought the boss!”
At that time, Hannah arrived nearby. She was looking up at the sky with a blank face… when she saw her best friend, Jane, wave her hands and see water spray coming from all directions. “Oh my Jane… you
… How…”
Even she didn’t know Jane’s true self… It was the power of the Spirit King’s daughter.
At that time, Lee Hyun-wook rushed in and grabbed Hannah’s arm.
“Hannah, you have to wake Jane up! “She’s on a rampage right now!”
Hanna couldn’t help but be taken aback by Lee Hyun-wook’s words. But I need this timid girl now.
“I need your help like I said earlier!”
“yes? “How could I…”
“I just cried out your name before Jane lost her temper!”
“…my own name?”
“You are the only thing he can rely on right now!”
This was a lie. But it was true that for now she was the only one who could calm Jane down.
Hannah Tate As she became Jane’s only friend, she triggered the ‘Hidden Quest’ related to the Spirit King—later, Jack Hamilton would eventually carry out the quest, but for now, it was her.
‘And if you hold down the trigger, you can prevent Jane’s runaway.’
Hyun-Wook Lee was confident because he had experienced several cases of this ‘partnership’ type of event.
“I’m going to bring her now, so everyone stay back except Hannah! Hannah, you’ll be fine!”
Lee Hyun-wook pulled Jane, who had been floating dozens of meters in the air, to the ground.
Her body fell at high speed and stopped right before hitting the asphalt.
“I don’t want to, but I have to kill them all.”
She said, His face was contorted and he was drooling.
Qua—and—and—and——!
And water columns curved from all directions and hit the group’s heads, but Kim Se-hee created a wall of wind and knocked them away. However, as expected, it seemed quite burdensome as there was a difference in ‘class’.
“Ugh! Honey, just hang in there!”
Hannah was screaming inaudibly and struggling as hard as she could. But it seemed as if she would soon be pushed away. As
the wind and water beat against each other, the area was filled with fine water particles, making it difficult to breathe.
“Damn it—I don’t have time, Hannah!”
At Lee Hyun-wook’s shout, Hannah hesitantly approached, but ran forward as if she had made up her mind.
Then he took off his outer clothes, covered Jane’s naked body, and hugged her.
“Jane… it’s me! Come to your senses and I’m here to save you!”
At that moment, the water column stirred loudly. The immediate response came:
“Jane, it’s me, Hannah!”
“I’m sorry I couldn’t do anything when you were kidnapped…”
She hugged her friend tighter with tears in her eyes.
At that moment, the water columns lowered their height…
“Uh—”
and poured onto the floor, turning the entire area into a sea of water.
And finally, a voice of reason flowed from Jane’s mouth.
“…Hannah—my friend, did you save me?”
Lee Hyun-wook sighed in relief and then coughed up blood again.
“Ha—I really almost died this time…”
He took out a health recovery potion and drank it.
But at that moment, one side of his face turned blue.
Qua—ah—ah—ah——!
A powerful beam of light was rising from the distant western sky near Lake Chad.
At first glance, it seemed unusual and an ominous sign, so everyone hesitated and took a step back.
“Ha… what the fuck is that again?”
Kim Se-hee, who was covered in water and completely wet, looked irritated as she combed her hair.
“I guess the Spirit King… came by himself.”
Hearing his daughter’s screams, the Water Spirit King jumped out of the spirit world.
Qua—ah—ah—ah—ah——!
And all the water in Lake Chad was gathered into one vessel and raised up a huge water column.
It was twice as tall as the Magic Tower, so it cast a long shadow over downtown Yggdrasil.
“Wouldn’t a water column of that size… level the city?”
“Well, Donald Harris won’t sit still.”
Sure enough, a blue whirlwind began to arise across the street.
Hoo—woo—woo—woo——!
Donald Harris, manager of the World Tree, took action.
“Wow… Anyway, half the city will be blown away?”
The moment those two whirlwinds collided, the roots of Yggdrasil could have been shaken by their power.
And just as the villain had planned, the battle between the Spirit King and the manager of the World Tree begins.
‘If the two old men really start fighting emotionally, what can I do? ‘You won’t be able to stop it.’
Then, enormous damage will be caused to Yggdrasil and it will become a catalyst for the invasion of the Dark Elf army.
“We, or that girl, must stop it before that happens.”
Hyunwook Lee walked towards the two women, Jane and Hannah.
“I’m sorry for the person who just woke up… Can you please stop your father?”
Jack and Hannah, who had blank expressions at those words, took a deep breath and looked at Jane.
“Ah, you’re the father? “Jane, is your father here?”
Jane nodded, looking at the water column rising high into the western sky.
“If you don’t go quickly, your father will have a fight with the manager of the World Tree.”
Only then did Jane stand up unsteadily and looked at Hyunwook Lee.
“But… who are you and do you know that?”
“Hmm? Jane, wasn’t this the person your father sent you?”
When Jack asked, Jane shook her head resolutely without hesitation,
“No, I’m a complete stranger. And my father didn’t send me either.”
In the first place, the person the Spirit King would send should have been a spirit, but Lee Hyun-wook was a human.
At this, Jack blocked Jane’s path and screamed.
“What! Are you fooling us? Who are you?”
It is true that he saved them, but if his identity was unknown, it was right to be cautious.
It was an understandable reaction, as good intentions without reason are rare in this lawless slum.
“I—”
Lee Hyun-wook opened his mouth, but was unable to answer.
This time, That’s because something soared right in front of me.
“Oh, you’re so different…”
Qua—ga—ga—ga—ga——!
Hive As it was digging through the remains of that building, something green was reaching up into the sky. It started.
It was a bundle of green vines… Each one was so thick that it felt like an Imoogi.
Perhaps the elementalists of the dark elf forest had sowed a lot of seeds right before the building collapsed.
‘That is the so-called green wave. It’s a plant weapon.’
As if to prove its name, green vines rose up like a wave and knocked down the surrounding buildings.
“Kyaaaa—”
“Run away!”
The residents of the slum who were watching this situation began to run away in a hurry.
Lee Hyun-wook put metal belts on all of the group and sent them flying into the sky. At that moment
,
the green wave hit the group. It crushed the place where it was and consumed the surrounding buildings.
In just ten seconds, it soared hundreds of meters high and encroached on a 1-2 km radius of the entire area.
“Damn, if this continues, all the people of Rutlet Town will die! “Fuck…”
Jack screamed. It was a rough neighborhood that he could hardly trust, but it was also the place that contained everything he had.
“What should I do? I need to save those people! There are a lot of good people out there!”
At those words, Hyunwook Lee pulled his body and brought him right in front of him.
“Jack, you can stop worrying about this and take Jane to Lake Chad.”
“Huh? What is that…”
“I’ll save this place, so you just take care of Jane.”
“Uh…”
“Just because I didn’t tell you who I am doesn’t mean you won’t believe me, right?”
Hyunwook Lee said that and nodded behind Jack.
“And ride that thing.”
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

huge was flying from there.
Jack turned his head to check its identity.
It was ‘what’.
“Then you are all…”
Only then did Jack realize the identity of the déjà vu he had been feeling.
Silver arrows soared from that man’s waist…
And the unusual power of metal control…
“Steel Rain…”
Lee Hyun-wook took off his mask, and Jack’s pupils grew even wider.
“…is it really true?”
A man who prevented numerous disasters and became a pillar of humanity’s support was here.
Next, an AD-2 flowed from Lee Hyun-wook’s wrist, and
from there, four giant swords, Mogley, were summoned and lined up in the air.
“Now, go quickly. The weeding work will be completed when you return.”
