Return of the Archmage

3.

We were talking about spirits.

"Ghosts are actually easier to deal with than tigers, assuming they're in the same class."

"When a comet is easy for you, you're weak in magic?”

"Yes, I'm vulnerable to magic and I'm also affected by magical attacks. No, you just have to think that you can do damage with those attacks.”

In a way, a monster with the opposite properties of a tiger.

"The magic you used before you ran away didn't seem to have damaged the spirits."

"Of course. I didn't use Mana much because I knew she was a spirit."

There are more things to care about than tigers to deal with such monsters.

It's hard to kill a tiger directly, but we've already shown that we can deal with it if we have the power and skill to kill it, but the spirit is not enough.

"Why?"

It is a monster that is bound to be more difficult for users, but on the contrary, Lee Hye-sung, who is specialized in magic, ran away without hesitation even though he could not dare to follow even Kang In-ho.

I wondered why.

"Well, it's better to show it in person than to explain it."

Lee Hye-sung raised Mana instead of answering.

Don't surround yourself.

Then he beckons.

"Poke me."

Kang In-ho pulled out a sword and threw it out.

A sword that moves toward the side that doesn't harm one's life just in case.

However, even that did not allow the mana surrounding Lee's body.

Ting-!

“……!”

Before touching the sides, the bouncing mana soon disappears.

It was stabbed with a clear intention, but it felt like it was invalidated rather than bounced off.

It's the first time I've experienced it, so I feel uncomfortable.

"I feel like I didn't do any damage when I got in.”

Kang In-ho expressed his discomfort.

Lee Hye-sung nodded.

"It's invalidated. The one I just wrote is Absoulute Shield. It's Ariel's new skill, Gaho. It's similar. Spirits usually have these skills as basic passes. There's a condition that it's an attack with Mana. It's a physical attack. It's immunity."

"…Isn't it too much of a scam?"

"Well, it's comfortable to say it's a one-time trip. There's cool time, too. It's more comfortable for people who know spirits. We can kill the unprotected spirit without shielding it once."

"It's not going to be easy, is it?”

"I don't think so. At least you're on the same level as a tiger.”

To put it plainly, the bitter smile on his lips implies all the reasons for his escape.

"You can see it as a monster specializing in magic. Unfortunately, I'm not good enough to kill him in one shot during cool time without shield. Do I need to use some cores to see the possibility? Anyway, if you don't catch them at once, they're hopeless."

It was a preliminary survey anyway.

It was not intended to completely recover the contaminated area, and this much information is sufficient.

We still have about a month left.

In the meantime, you can find the answer.

"I want the spirits to sprout the tigers before we get in."

At the same time, it is accompanied by prayer.

"Didn't you just make up what you said earlier?”

"Are the spirits and the tigers fighting for power?”

"Yes."

"I wrote a novel, but I think it's probably right.”

"On what grounds?"

"That's what spirits are like."

“……?”

"I hate it except for the same spirits. That's why they live alone in the spirit world. I don't even sign contracts with humans. In fantasy novels, the distortion is actually the biggest thing about spirits."

"I see."

If that is true, it is not a bad development considering the quest of recovering contaminated areas.

It means that if the two tribes, believed to be the strongest monsters in the polluted area, fight, they will only have to settle the final winner.

"The tiger is losing, right?”

"Probably? That's too bad."

"Well, if there's almost no physical attack."

Even that is resistant to magic attacks, so it may be the most difficult kind of monster for users.

If it wasn't for Lee Hye-sung, Kang In-ho might have given up dealing with him.

If I had to fight one day, I would have tried to find an answer.

"That's why I said monsters might come out.”

After all, it's hunting.

If you raise the level, prepare for the stats, and go in, the chances of a slim chance will increase.

"Spirits do not, after all, allow them to be in their homes other than spirits. They'll either fight them or run away to live. It was made up at first, but what I said after seeing the spirit was a well-founded novel. Anyway, let's forget about it for a while and crack it. I hope Ariel can raise her level to about 20 and get a good skill."

Lee Hye-sung also lay in bed with the same conclusion.

Unfortunately, their conclusions were not acceptable in the contaminated area.

I got a call from the Chinese government.

A tiger attacked the human house.

***

It must be refreshing to see a tiger running around the city in the morning on the news.

If there is a bunch of monsters like crack brakes, sometimes it's understandable. They suddenly appear in the city like wild boars and show off their presence, so even people passing by the scene are filming with their cell phones without feeling real.

For those people, the tiger gave them a sense of reality.

"Crrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

A huge body jumps up and falls where people stick together.

"Scream!"

He scratches and bites his toenails as if proving that he is not just a tiger escaping from the zoo.

It is a monster that even users can't handle, so what about ordinary people?

The monster's attack, which comes out of nowhere where evacuation broadcasts are not even shown, is an inevitable death sentence.

Dozens of people end their lives at a time.

Only then do people scream and run away as the blood is scattered and the bodies are torn to shreds.

But then it was too late to run away.

It is impossible to escape the moment you enter the sight of a tiger, and the moment you are recognized as a prey.

No, it's possible.

If you pray.

Fortunately, there wasn't only one person who had the misfortune of being in the same space with a tiger.

Divide in all directions and pray to God.

Please let the tiger go to the other side and hurt others.

I hope you don't turn your head towards me.

The same was true of the people who watched the situation in the building.

Please don't come here.

Only 30 minutes.

In 30 minutes, a city was in chaos.

Hundreds of people were killed and users rushed in to buy civilian escape time, but unfortunately, they died just like civilians without even grabbing the tiger's ankle.

Level 7 Contaminated Monster Power!

"Growl!"

With the roar of the tiger, the wave of mana spreads widely.

Holograms visible to users confronting each other.

[Decreases stats by 7%.]

The ability to be seen in the boundary of the contaminated area is used by tigers from the contaminated area.

Despair is covered on users' expressions before the question of how to use them.

"It's ruined."

"Shifal."

It's a monster with no answer.

Such monsters even used debuffs that cut users' stats.

Death has no choice but to pass through my head.

Nevertheless, it does not run away.

Users who will flee have already fled.

Users who have gathered to catch the eyes of tigers for a while remain intentionally for civilians who have not yet escaped.

And we have to buy time for the rankers to arrive.

Their spirit of sacrifice shone.

God hasn't abandoned them yet.

Many users were sacrificed, but they showed that they didn't do anything that cost everyone.

"Wow, it really came out.”

A pure white sword that falls from the sky penetrates the tiger's spine.

"Growl!"

A huge anger is directed to the sky, but the person involved does not budge.

"You still think this is your front yard."

Of course.

The surprise attack was also successful, and the sword was placed on the tiger's back, and most of all, it is not affected by the boundary.

It's a 7% reduction in stats, which doesn't even feel like a debuff compared to the debuffs we've experienced in the contaminated area.

Above all, there is no need to catch Lee Hye-sung alone here.

"Let's get this straight. I think there's one more reason to hunt."

"Let's do it. I didn't expect what you said to come true.

"I didn't know either. I guess the spirits here are just one thing. "I can't stand the back of my head and see that I'm in the contaminated area."

Kang In-ho also steals the sword.

And then they rush in.

It was not difficult to hunt a tiger that had been caught once in better condition.

Things have been sorted out, but the world is hotter than ever with stories about pollution.

***

Confusion and confusion.

These are things that cannot be left out when there is a change in the world.

Thirty years ago, it was when there was a crack and when users began to appear.

The change that comes without any preparation took a lot of time to adjust, and trial and error also occurred numerous times.

The death of many people in the process does not change.

Change comes with death.

There has never been a time when it comes to crack-related changes.

It's not just death.

So many people die.

That's why people are worried.

The contaminated area is no longer safe.

The crack brakes themselves weren't safe if they didn't stop.

- What standard is the change coming from?

This change was also sure to lead to tremendous damage.

Not many contaminated areas distributed around the world.

The monsters there are currently monsters at levels beyond human control.

If they all move again, how much damage will they have to bear?

No, is it ever over?

Anxiety, an uneasy social atmosphere, is not good in many ways.

It also affects the economy.

Countries were obliged to quell the unrest.

That's why the attention was more focused.

Can this comet party recover the contaminated area?

In fact, there may be a special condition that Lee Hye-sung lives in the 7-level contaminated area where he wants to recover, but Lee Hye-sung didn't have to talk about it.

If you can recover, doesn't that mean there's only one party in the world that can remove this time bomb?

It was not a strategy to specifically intend this situation.

It's just that I'm not 100% sure.

In this situation, I made a remark that I wasn't sure about. If not, the backlog will be entirely on him.

At the end of the year, people around the world were worried and praying for Lee Hye-sung, the hope of mankind, at a time when they had to wrap up the year and prepare for the new year.
