The Jelly Alien Will Save You!
Episode 92
“The wounds on Shi Hyeon’s body are from Seong Woo’s skill.”
For a moment, a cold silence flowed.
As I thought…
I bit my lips and furrowed my brow.
I had spent time in the hospital watching Queisa’s footage over and over again.
There was no way I wouldn’t know that Yoo Seong Woo’s skill left characteristic scars when it hit.
Yoo Seong Woo’s skill was ‘Toxic Crystallization’.
It was characterized by polygonal cracks that formed at the impact site.
The scars carved into Shi Hyeon’s arm were like fingerprints proving that Yoo Seong Woo was the attacker.
And crucially, something I glimpsed where Yoo Seong Woo appeared turned my suspicion into certainty.
It was the yellow hazmat suit he had taken off.
“…”
Yoo Seong Woo’s eyes, which had been trembling as if flustered, instantly sank to an eerily calm state.
I tilted my head to the side. Cool-toned words flowed from my mouth.
“Why did you do it? What happened?”
Yoo Seong Woo laughed quietly.
“Haha… Dam. Do you know what you’re holding in your hand?”
“I know very well. Do you know what this is?”
Yoo Seong Woo quickly surveyed the surroundings.
He was checking if someone was helping me.
I pushed the muzzle deeper.
“Don’t move. My fingers are shaking and I might shoot.”
Despite my warning, Yoo Seong Woo leisurely pulled up the corners of his mouth. That fishy smile contained clear mockery directed at me.
“Our Dam, you must have been very anxious without the guild master. Picking up strange toys somewhere.”
He reached out his hand like lightning toward my wrist while coaxing me gently.
He seemed confident that I wouldn’t even be able to react and would be easily subdued.
In reality, the terminally ill Do Dam would be no match for the awakened Yoo Seong Woo.
But in that brief moment when he reached out his hand, I very lightly flicked my finger.
Beep-!
Such a trivial and cute sound effect to hear again.
However, the heavy mass of light that burst from the muzzle was anything but trivial.
“Kuk…!”
Boom-!
Yoo Seong Woo’s body floated into the air as if hit by an invisible giant truck.
“Keouk…!”
Crash!
He flew far back and crashed into a cylindrical machine.
Thick dust rose up.
The Queisa sub-guild master and Yellow Hazmat Suit had been pathetically knocked down by one shot from my toy-like gun.
“Cough… How can you… cough, use that?”
Yoo Seong Woo roughly wiped his bleeding lips and glared at me with eyes filled with shock.
His usually relaxed face was distorted hideously for the first time.
It was the face of someone who realized that the prey he believed he had perfectly controlled was actually holding his leash.
I smiled coldly at him.
“The toy seems quite painful.”
Yoo Seong Woo’s eyes wavered.
Watching him, I aimed the Energy Injector again.
I had to prevent him from approaching me. Yoo Seong Woo was a dealer strong in close combat.
Moreover, the longer I dragged this out, the more disadvantageous the fight would become for me since I couldn’t move my body freely.
Beep!
Beep!
Beep!
Following Yoo Seong Woo’s movements as he quickly escaped from his position, rapid fire began.
Yoo Seong Woo threw his body behind machinery to avoid the masses of light, grinding his teeth.
“Ha, to think you would be chosen…”
Chosen? I furrowed my brow.
Just as I was about to ask what that meant, a killing intent that seemed to freeze the air swept over my entire body.
Yoo Seong Woo burst out from his cover, dripping with killing intent, and charged toward me.
I too was about to pull the trigger of the Energy Injector without backing down.
Thud-!
A figure with a heavy presence appeared between us.
Yoo Seong Woo’s attack was blocked in mid-air.
Meanwhile, a silver-haired boy lifted me up as I sat collapsed.
It was Yeonjam.
In front of me stood a man in a black suit. He smiled while blocking Yoo Seong Woo’s arm.
“Hello, Seong Woo.”
Yoo Seong Woo spat blood and smiled back.
He drew twin swords from subspace. They were pitch-black curved swords without any decoration.
“Guild Master. I was curious if you had really been devoured by another Xion, but you’re alive and well.”
Black tentacles began to appear around Gyeol.
“You worried about something stupid, Yoo Seong Woo.”
Just as Gyeol’s black tentacles twisted and were about to pour straight toward Yoo Seong Woo.
Regular, heavy military boot sounds began approaching.
Thud thud thud!
Could it be Yellow Hazmat Suit reinforcements?
My heart sank unpleasantly.
The moment I turned around tensely.
“…Que, Queisa?”
“It’s Queisa!”
Surprised voices could be heard.
What emerged through the darkness were none other than soldiers with guns.
Captain Gong Ju Won and his team at the front were frozen in position, about to aim their guns.
Someone said in a dumbfounded voice.
“How is Guild Master Do Gyeol here…?”
The moment Gyeol’s gaze briefly turned to the soldiers when his name was called.
Yoo Seong Woo disappeared as if melting into the darkness.
‘That’s Shi Hyeon’s skill…?!’
Gyeol belatedly extended his tentacles, but Yoo Seong Woo had already disappeared.
The black tentacles violently slashed through empty air.
Gyeol exhaled heavily and pressed his forehead.
“Damn it.”
His gaze glared at the darkness where Yoo Seong Woo had disappeared for a while.
* * *
Meanwhile.
– Did you find the target? Shoot to kill as soon as you confirm! I repeat, shoot to kill immediately!
Captain Gong Ju Won ignored the voice coming through the radio.
– Why aren’t you responding! Shoot right now!
To Lieutenant Colonel Kang Gi-seok who was shouting loudly, he sighed quietly and radioed back.
“Battalion Commander, it’s not the target. It’s Queisa.”
– What? What’s this sudden talk about Queisa? Aren’t they all dead?
“They’re alive.”
Then, Lieutenant Colonel Kang Gi-seok spoke irritably, as if receiving a report from someone else.
– Chae Heon? What’s this nonsense about Chae Heon? Are you all seeing things! Stop talking nonsense and get it together!
Lieutenant Colonel Kang Gi-seok’s booming shouts echoed through the tower via Gong Ju Won’s radio.
That was the moment.
CRASH-!
The thick iron door of the stairwell connected to the upper floors was torn away with a thunderous noise.
What emerged from beyond was Chae Heon.
Behind him, other soldiers could be seen hesitantly following.
“Lieutenant Colonel… Chae Heon.”
“How…”
“Were you alive all this time?”
Captain Gong Ju Won swallowed dryly as he watched his murmuring team members.
The mere fact that Chae Heon and Do Gyeol were alive was enough to turn the entire military upside down.
But Gong Ju Won’s mind was racing with even more complex thoughts.
‘If both of them are here, could Jelly also be…?’
He was worried that if Jelly was discovered too, it would become an even bigger problem.
Then Captain Gong Ju Won’s gaze turned toward the area behind Do Gyeol.
There, a Gray-Haired Boy was holding a Mysterious Woman.
She was such an extraordinary beauty that it was rare to see someone like her.
Forgetting their earlier shock at seeing the supposedly dead, the team members’ gazes kept stealing glances at her as if mesmerized.
At this, Chae Heon’s eyebrows shot up in displeasure.
– These pathetic fools…! Getting caught up in hallucinations as a group…!
Lieutenant Colonel Kang Gi-seok continued shouting through the radio.
– Retreat for now! And bring all those ghosts, whether they’re Chae Heon or Queisa, to me! If you can’t do that, you’ll literally be dead, understand!
Lieutenant Colonel Kang Gi-seok’s shouts once again echoed thunderously through the interior of the tower.
* * *
Special Forces Command and Control Room.
Lieutenant Colonel Kang Gi-seok thought.
Am I the one who’s dead?
Am I the one seeing hallucinations?
No, this can’t be possible.
Kang Gi-seok swallowed dryly.
Guild Master Do Gyeol and Lieutenant Colonel Chae Heon sitting in front of him were staring at him intensely.
The humans who had been revered as legends, called humanity’s hope, were sitting before him alive and breathing!
“…”
“…”
“…”
What filled the command and control room was suffocating silence.
Kang Gi-seok felt like he might faint from lack of breath at any moment.
It was Guild Master Do Gyeol who first broke that silence.
He leaned back diagonally in his chair and curled up the corners of his mouth.
“Don’t soldiers these days salute their superiors?”
“He’s become quite MZ while we were gone, hasn’t he? Lieutenant Colonel Kang.”
Do Gyeol spoke sarcastically, and Chae Heon picked up the conversation.
Lieutenant Colonel Kang Gi-seok’s face flushed as if it might burst.
Soon he sprang up like a spring and saluted in proper posture.
“Unity!”
Though he was quite a bit younger, Lieutenant Colonel Chae Heon was definitely higher in rank than himself.
