chapter 94: the dignity of rank s (2)
at that moment, on the outskirts of samcheok, gangwon province.
thud-thud-thud-thud!
the hail of bullets didn’t stop.
already, several cars had turned into scrap metal under the concentrated gunfire, and red traces flowed out in the sticky engine oil.
“is, is it alright?”
“yes. of course. we are safe.”
“no, i mean my granddaughter!”
desmond pointed in the direction where one car had disappeared.
it was already out of sight, with only skid marks on the ground and hwalbindang thugs chasing after it visible.
“yes. she’s safer than you, chairman. the agent attached to her is a specialist.”
“who the hell is that!”
“it’s the goblin.”
“.......”
at gunggi’s words, desmond’s eyes widened momentarily, and then he placed his hand over his heart and heaved a deep sigh of relief.
“haaaa....”
“so, you feel relieved when you hear it’s the goblin?”
“if you’re lying, i’ll sue you. didn’t you say there’s no goblin on this mission?”
“i caught him playing around in samcheok at dawn. do you know how much i had to wheedle to ask for his support even though it wasn’t his mission?”
gunggi chuckled as she returned fire from the barricade made by the car.
“still, as a special service to you, chairman, i won’t charge you for hiring the goblin.”
“th, thank you....”
“but we can’t be responsible for other cases, okay?”
“other cases...?”
“yes. as always, when the goblin is with a female ability user... you know what happens, right?”
“...gasp!”
chairman desmond covered his mouth with his hand.
“sur, surely the goblin won’t try to seduce my granddaughter?!”
“the opposite, actually. if he doesn’t transform, it should be fine, but if he transforms and tries to save people, she will definitely fall for him.”
“...huh!”
at gunggi’s matter-of-fact statement, chairman desmond clenched his fist and thumped his chest.
“if i had known it was the goblin...!”
“why? because you didn’t send him with your granddaughter?”
“no, i should have gotten his autograph.”
“...i see.”
at the old man’s innocent gaze, gunggi chuckled dryly.
she wondered if this old man knew.
while the goblin would protect his granddaughter, he also planned to eliminate the genetic legacy of the armored taejo she carried.
“but... is it alright to keep going like this? i mean us.”
“us? well... it looks like the problem solver will be here soon.”
“problem solver?”
“yes. here they come.”
gunggi pointed to the southern sky.
“handling such incidents is a hero’s job.”
vroom───!
crossing the dawn sky, a figure in a suit resembling a red dragon rocket dropped into the middle of the road.
the sound of gunfire began to cease, and the hwalbindang members started to look at each other nervously, one by one.
as if an unexpected presence had suddenly appeared.
“ah, armored taejo?!”
“these kids.”
the armored taejo, who landed in a perfect superhero stance, quickly rose and cracked his neck left and right.
“how dare you kill people with guns in this country?”
a large shell came flying with white smoke, and i twisted the car body, which was about to tip over due to the sharp turn.
boom!
the car toppled sideways, and the anti-tank rocket slammed into the roof of the car.
crash!!
with a powerful explosion, the car was crushed, and i strongly surrounded my body with mana for protection before the car exploded.
bang.
the car exploded in a chain reaction with the explosion of the rocket.
in the midst of this, i got up without breathing, dusted off the black smoke caused by gunpowder and fuel, and moved forward.
[don’t you think that’s too powerful a weapon to use on a national highway?]
“you...?”
seeing me come out unscathed from the rocket explosion, the voice of the hwalbindang thug who had fired the rocket trembled.
“how did you survive that explosion...!”
[as an ability user, it is a basic necessity to protect oneself safely from modern explosive weaponry.]
it seems like about 8% of my magic power was used to create a fairly strong shield, but i could obtain one certain effect thanks to this 8% of magic power.
“ugh...!”
a decrease in enemy morale.
a drop in their willpower.
who wouldn’t feel terror after witnessing someone emerge unscathed from an anti-tank rocket explosion?
[are you yeongno?]
“.......”
[so, you’re the one who sent the threatening video to yuliana feygreen.]
i stretched out my right hand and pulled out another mask.
[even though the threat is one thing if you went as far as shooting a rocket, you must be punished.]
“you... surely not!”
[transform.]
as i put the newly created mask on top of the dolphin mask, i quickly transitioned the magic power covering my face.
[villain, yeongno.]
after lightly flicking the belt created with magic power, i complete the transformation at the speed of light.
[do you have any last words before your execution?]
“kr...! goblin...!”
i lightly clashed my two fists and converted the goblin bat in my hands into a ‘knuckle’ shape, reequipping them anew.
“that power, what the...! i’ve never heard of a goblin using red flames!”
[just got a little heat from the explosion.]
but in reality, i had just transformed into a state that could best utilize the magic power of my secret techniques.
[strike!]
[before i protect the target, i need to deal with you first.]
i pointed towards the sea, indicating to yuliana, who had slightly popped out from behind the wreckage of the exploded car to look ahead.
[if you don’t want to die, hide safely. at least there’s no one in this area who can kill you.]
“ah...!”
yuliana nodded at me and crossed the guardrail.
“i won’t let you get away!”
yeongno ran towards me and jumped enormously.
he tried to jump over me with his tremendous jumping power, but i jumped straight up from my spot and punched him in the solar plexus.
thwack!!
“kuack!”
a red flame exploded, striking his solar plexus.
i landed lightly on my feet and dusted off my hands. at the same time, yeongno was thrown back, his previous momentum completely nullified.
“ke, keuk...!”
[what are you looking at?]
just like i did before getting out of the car, i snapped my fingers again.
[your opponent is me.]
