Chapter 122: The Blue Dragon Guild and the Rare Awakened (7)
Blue Dragon Guild Situation Room.
Red alarm lights flashed crosswise, and the weak points of the barrier were dyed on the monitor in real-time.
“Don’t tell me this is…….”
Behind the voice of the researcher in the situation room, the look of anxiety on the faces of others deepened.
And
Boom!!!!!
Along with a tremendous explosion, the situation room shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
“South, West, East passage barrier functions stopped. Main building…… breached.”
A researcher’s low voice brought silence to the situation room.
The lights flashing on the screen had now all disappeared.
Danger marks.
Now there was no need to even display them.
The Staff Officer of the situation room.
His eyes shut tight.
Since he was appointed.
No, it was the first time since the Blue Dragon Guild was created.
One of the 3 Great Guilds of the Republic of Korea.
He had never even imagined that the fortress of the Blue Dragon Guild, which exuded authority just by its name, would allow enemy intrusion so easily.
Carda Organization.
A criminal organization made up of Rare Awakened.
But to this extent.
He never imagined they would commit such acts.
Let alone succeed.
“What should we do now…….”
The Staff Officer couldn’t even imagine in his head what would happen after this.
Because it was hard to believe it was reality.
At that moment.
“Don’t worry. We are here.”
A voice coming over the mechanical device.
Behind that voice, a researcher’s voice filled the situation room.
“New reactions confirmed in the barrier destruction areas! It’s the Team Leaders!”
The best fortress in the Republic of Korea.
Blue Dragon Guild.
However, what protected the center of the Blue Dragon Guild was not the barrier.
It was the executives of the Blue Dragon Guild who possessed overwhelming force.
A faint smile spread on the faces of the Staff Officer and researchers.
***
South Gate, North Gate, East Gate.
Crash sounds burst out simultaneously from the outskirts of the Blue Dragon Guild.
It was a reaction completely different from when attacks were pouring in to break the barrier.
“Ooh, fierce? To think there was a man like you in such a peaceful country.”
The executive of the Carda organization who was leading subordinates and attacking the South Gate.
A voice full of interest rang out from the mouth of the blonde woman wearing a mask.
“Talking about peace or whatever. Korea is a place that was called Hell Korea even before monsters appeared.”
What blocked that Carda executive was an executive of the Blue Dragon Guild.
It was Team Leader 1 of the Blue Dragon Guild, who had an impression so strong it was hard to even make eye contact.
“I don’t feel like fighting a woman, but, well, I have to get the price for smashing the house wall.”
That was the last of the conversation.
Another gate, the North Gate.
A battle was already taking place there.
A showdown between a Carda executive who could transform his body into liquid and a Blue Dragon Guild executive.
Surprise at the Rare Awakened ability that didn’t take damage no matter how strong the attack was only momentary.
The Blue Dragon Guild executive using a dialect was showing a laugh, revealing even his molars.
“Man, I met an interesting kid for the first time in a while. Let’s go to the end and see if my fist smashes first or if the liquid dries up first.”
Grin.
Next, the East Gate.
“Rude bastards. You come to someone else’s house empty-handed. If you come in a swarm like this, shouldn’t at least one of you buy some drinks?”
A man standing with his legs crooked in front of the gate.
It was the Blue Dragon Guild executive, Team Leader Nam.
“Anyway, whatever. Even though I look like this, I’m the rival of Lee Si-wang, the immovable A-Rank No. 1 of the Republic of Korea, you know? So, come at me all at once.”
With those words, his feet left the ground.
***
Battles occurring simultaneously.
The Team Leaders at each entrance took on the role of vanguards of the battle.
Following that, the guild employees who arrived at the scene fought against the soldiers of the Carda organization who invaded.
An unexpected bloody battle that occurred from early morning.
Like an all-out war.
Their battle was quite different from the picture seen in dungeons.
Human and human.
Awakened versus Awakened.
Furthermore.
One side was those who ignored the law and started a revolution with force to change the world.
The other side was those who enforced their own justice, risked their lives in dungeons to catch monsters, and were called heroes by citizens.
Causal relationships.
There were no past narratives either, but.
Both sides had reasons they couldn’t retreat.
Good and evil.
Justice versus justice.
It wasn’t that kind of fight.
One side just needed a sacrifice.
And the other side just didn’t want to lose what they had built up and didn’t want to die.
They are fighting instinctively.
There isn’t really a reason.
If they just lose, if they retreat.
They die.
Therefore, a fight to kill the person in front of them in order not to die continued.
The fight went on for quite a long time.
There were many reasons, but.
The biggest reason was.
“They are…… stronger than I thought?”
The leader of Carda watching the battle from the sky.
Rossi touched his mask.
The Republic of Korea, which rode the current of the Awakening Era well, became a developed country from the moment the world faced change, and possessed more strong Awakened called S-Ranks than any other nation.
A reign of peace that monopolized honey and oil because they settled down early.
I thought they were guys like flowers in a greenhouse…….
“Of course, since they are Awakened, I expected them to have strong power but… aren’t they tougher than expected? I thought they were just soldiers who couldn’t even shoot a gun.”
Most of the personnel of the Carda organization, including Rossi, were those beside crime, far from the law.
They committed crimes to survive since childhood, and they are those who lived at the bottom, threatened with their lives, not just starving.
Great Awakening Era.
Nothing changed.
They awakened as Rare Awakened.
Many things happened just because their Unique Skills were rare.
Someone had to become a test subject.
Someone was despised saying they were not helpful in battle.
There were places that didn’t accept them as colleagues because they were different even if they had strong power.
It is a place where such people gathered.
The Carda organization is.
Those full of deficiencies and wounds.
Where crime is daily life, and murder is a friend.
Those kinds of people.
It should be an organization where only such people gathered….
One corner of Rossi’s mouth floating in the air went up.
“It seems I underestimated them too much.”
Rossi, looking down at the appearance of the Blue Dragon Guild putting up an unexpected good fight, nodded.
Then.
Rossi, whose eyes changed in an instant, snapped his fingers.
Snap!
Then a short-haired woman appeared next to Rossi in an instant.
A woman with copper-colored skin revealed herself in an empty space as if she had teleported.
Holding a young child in one hand.
Rossi, showing a welcoming look through the mask, roughly grabbed and pulled Yang Min-seon with one arm.
“Still, it’s just the wriggling of earthworms anyway.”
Rossi’s other hand, holding Yang Min-seon, was raised.
***
Blue Dragon Guild Situation Room.
“What on earth is this…….”
The Staff Officer’s face color had turned purple.
One researcher who was not making a face much different from him opened his mouth with difficulty.
“North Gate. East Gate, South Gate…… The Team Leaders who went to all areas…… have all been defeated.”
Executives of one of the 3 Great Guilds of the Republic of Korea.
Republic of Korea A-Rank Top Tier.
They, who possessed power stronger than the Guild Masters of decent medium-to-large guilds.
Were defeated in a single blow.
The faces of the personnel in the situation room darkened.
“How on earth…… did this happen…….”
The anticipation harbored by the appearance of the Team Leaders.
The anticipation heightened by the deployment of guild members.
Turned to ash and flew away in an instant.
“Life or death confirmation impossible. The final defense line has been breached.”
***
Similar time.
A luxury sedan running towards Cheorwon from early dawn.
Yoo jin and Lee Si-wang arrived in Cheorwon.
To be precise, Yoo jin’s student Yang Yeong-seon’s main house.
Yoo Jin's face, having gotten out of the car and capturing the iron gate in his eyes, was coldly heavy.
Lee Si-wang, standing side by side, was also killing his expression without saying a word.
“Let’s go.”
Yoo jin and Lee Si-wang’s steps headed to the door.
A moment later.
“I am sorry for coming this early in the morning, Grandmother.”
“Oh my, not at all, Teacher. For an old person like me, it’s lunch time now.”
“Ah, yes. Thank you for understanding.”
The atmosphere brightened quickly with the words of age.
A small smile also spread on Yoo jin’s face.
However, what followed was silence.
Lee Si-wang turned his head and looked at Yoo jin.
Disturbed breathing.
Lips that seemed like they would open but wouldn’t.
Seeing him for quite a long time, and even seeing him up close, it’s really hard to get used to.
Demon King.
Returnee.
A monster that can eliminate a nation, or the earth, if he puts his mind to it.
“…….”
Regarding students and matters related to them.
Why does he worry and worry again like this?
He was someone for whom being cool and refreshing was a basic passive, but to think he would find it difficult to say the first word conveying the matter about the children to the grandmother, and the apology for the promise made yesterday.
He is probably worrying and worrying inside.
He must be running simulations several times.
Lee Si-wang thought it would be a little like that since he had watched him from the closest distance until now.
Knowing that, Lee Si-wang waited calmly without saying a word.
He tried to loosen the atmosphere comfortably by playing a joke, but he quit.
Because he is this kind of person.
Although called a monster Returnee.
Because he is a teacher.
He will definitely find the answer.
At that time when only silence was flowing.
A sound was heard over the shoulder of the grandmother who was staring intently only at Yoo Jin's face.
The sound coming from the television in the living room far away.
― Breaking news.
The Blue Dragon Guild headquarters is being attacked.
No, it is said they have already allowed intrusion up to the central part.
The terror occurred just yesterday, but to attack the headquarters of one of the 3 Great Guilds of the Republic of Korea the very next day…….
Silence turned into stillness.
Yoo jin and Lee Si-wang’s gazes headed to one place.
― This news just came in.
It is the news that all executives of the Blue Dragon Guild have been defeated by the Carda organization.
Life or death has not been confirmed yet, but if the final line, the executives, has been breached, practically…….
Yoo jin and Lee Si-wang’s expressions hardened stiffly.
“…….”
“…….”
They couldn’t even imagine.
Because it was the place they were at until they arrived here.
In addition to that, they couldn’t believe that the fortress of the Blue Dragon Guild, one of the 3 Great Guilds of the Republic of Korea, was breached so futilely.
And the Carda organization that executed it.
Since the Great Awakening Era began.
This level of crime and terror.
And they thought perhaps there was definitely no organization that focused the attention of the whole world in an instant like this.
They thought maybe a group giving more shock than the Returnees called gods had appeared.
Unlike Lee Si-wang with a tense expression.
Yoo Jin's expression captured in his eyes was a little different.
It was hardened stiffly, but how to say it, tension or such emotions could not be felt from his face.
Rather.
The emotion felt from his face was refreshed.
As if he found the answer he chose and chose.
Yoo jin rose from his seat and bowed his head to the grandmother.
“I will bring the children back this evening. I came to say this. Not tomorrow but today… so…… please prepare delicious side dishes the children like, Grandmother.”
Yoo jin, who lifted his head, left a soft smile and turned his body.
The flustered Lee Si-wang also bowed along and turned his body.
The grandmother made a dumbfounded expression at first, but soon smiled slightly and just watched their backs as they rose from their seats and left the door.
There was a mountain of things she wanted to ask and hear, but.
The grandmother just prepared to go out to town.
To buy side dishes the children like.
***
Seoul.
Blue Dragon Guild Head Office.
The Blue Dragon Guild main building where entry was now possible from anywhere.
The name Iron-blooded Fortress is no more.
The defensive shield protecting the Blue Dragon Guild.
All barriers disappeared.
Therefore, the Carda organization was slowly moving their steps toward the main gate.
Like an army with victory right in front of their eyes.
The subordinates, including the leader of the Carda organization, Rossi, and the executives were entering the main building with confident steps.
“At this point, it’s practically the same as having smashed everything, but well, still. We have to kill the captain to properly destroy the castle.”
Leader of the Carda organization.
Rossi, wearing a mask, smiled and stepped onto the lobby stairs of the main building.
At that moment.
Bam!!!!!!
Along with a tremendous explosion sound, something fell from a high place in the building.
Like a cannon.
Something fell onto the stairs.
Everyone covered their faces at the wind and tremendous shockwave.
Like the last remaining firewall.
A shadow blocking the entrance.
“You came. King of the fortress.”
Wrinkles deepening through the mask.
In front of that.
“I don’t know if it’s Carda or Carta. But you can’t take a single step inside the building. Because I hate bugs.”
S-Rank Awakened.
Blue Dragon Guild Master Kim Cheol-gu appeared.
