Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 152
‘What if the Seed wasn’t everything…?’
What if the ones placed in his arms were just decoys, and there was one more planted near his chest!
I need to get it out right now.
Thump!
Rustle!
At that moment, the sound of thin branches extending all at once from his heart could be heard.
Jin Siwon hesitated, blinked once, then turned his head left and right.
“…”
He looked at Sergey and pressed his lower lip firmly.
“Sergey.”
Sergey slowly turned his head.
“Huh?”
The moment he faced Jin Siwon. Goosebumps rose as if someone had grabbed the back of his neck.
Jin Siwon smiled while pressing his lower lip firmly.
Sergey blankly spoke her name.
“…Irina?”
How?
“I kept you by my side hoping for a day like this.”
Jin Siwon’s hand- no, Irina’s hand brushed against Sergey’s face.
“If the younger sibling I barely found dies before my eyes-”
Her left hand instantly pierced through Sergey’s chest.
“-Zhenya will be completely destroyed.”
“Cough!”
Sergey coughed up blood.
“You were useful until the very end, Mykola.”
Mykola?
He wasn’t the only one puzzled by the familiar name.
Sergey looked at the face of the person who had questioned the name.
The first thing that caught his sight were distorted green eyes.
Jin Siwon caught Sergey as he collapsed.
Beyond his fading consciousness, a cracked voice could be heard.
“Mykola…?”
Mykola. Who was that again?
* * *
“What a shame. It was the moment I wanted to see most.”
Irina slowly turned her head.
She looked resentfully at the one who had forcibly severed the skill that connected her to Jin Siwon.
“As expected. I knew we’d meet again.”
Nayeon, who had wrapped Irina in silver vines, smiled coldly while pulling the vines taut.
After encountering Irina at the school, Nayeon had contacted the investigation agency to try to dig up information on Moon Ira.
However, all records before entering Korea were fake, and after that meeting, the teacher named ‘Moon Ira’ had vanished without a trace.
Unable to leave such a dangerous person alone, Nayeon had been tracking Irina’s whereabouts in cooperation with the Awakened Investigation Team.
What finally gave them a lead was a photo taken at Infinity Wave,
and following that trail had brought them to Jeju Island.
“Why are there so many interruptions…”
Irina pressed her lower lip firmly and let out a deep sigh.
The moment the emergency message was sent to the tablet, she had instinctively known that the Great Dungeon transformation was over.
In that case, she had no choice but to give up on the child.
Eventually, setting aside her regret, Irina activated the seed she had planted in Jin Siwon.
To at least obtain Zhenya before leaving.
But at such a crucial moment, an unexpected obstacle had to appear…
“I think I’m starting to dislike Korea more and more.”
As soon as Irina finished speaking, people in black suits rushed toward Nayeon in a swarm.
Nayeon stepped back and activated her skill across the area.
Whirrr.
[Skill ‘Silver Vine (S)’ is activated.]
Transforms according to the caster’s will. When restraining targets with vines, temporarily blocks magical power.
As the people rushing toward Nayeon were engulfed by thorny vines, they began falling one by one like puppets with cut strings.
“I thought this before too, but that skill is convenient.”
Irina, who was restrained by Nayeon’s technique, smiled.
She was extracting herself from the bonds without caring that the vine’s thorns were tearing and piercing her flesh.
Though her entire body was stained with blood, the wounds torn and pierced by thorns quickly healed, maintaining smooth skin.
“The convenient thing seems to be your body though.”
Nayeon spoke as if disgusted after seeing Irina’s tremendous recovery ability.
“Perhaps so.”
As Irina finished her amused words, the people who had been motionless while wrapped in vines began to struggle.
Just like Irina had done, they were tearing off the vines without caring that they were ripping and piercing their flesh.
However, the torn flesh only bled and did not regenerate.
“Ugh…”
Nayeon let out a groan at the sight of them rushing forward covered in blood, like zombies that would charge ahead without feeling pain even if their limbs were torn off.
“Hmm, how cute.”
Irina pressed harder against Nayeon, who had shown a moment of weakness.
As if she didn’t care at all about the controlled people getting hurt, she kept pushing them toward Nayeon, and Nayeon was being pushed back step by step.
“Save me, please save me.”
“It hurts….”
Beyond the owners of the murmuring voices, Irina, who had distanced herself from Nayeon, waved her hand gently.
Then she turned around, trying to leave.
If there had been no presence behind her, she would have disappeared quickly.
What stopped Irina was someone emanating the presence of enormous magical power.
A force that seemed to crush her entire body just by existing.
If it was someone with this level of power, there was only one person.
‘On Jurim….’
She couldn’t move even a single step. Irina weakly raised her head.
Jurim, who met her eyes, slightly frowned.
When he gestured slightly, the crowd heading toward Nayeon was swept away all at once.
They stood clustered together, unable to move as if blocked by an invisible force.
Jurim, who quietly muttered “You look alike” toward Irina, calmly asked Nayeon.
“Where’s Gru?”
“Huh? Gru?”
Nayeon, who had completely suppressed the people rushing like zombies with thornless vines, dusted off her hands and walked over.
“Is Gru on Jeju Island?”
“….”
Nayeon seemed to really not know.
He hadn’t been visible in the guest room either. Gidan wasn’t answering his phone, doing who knows what.
Thinking that danger might have befallen Gru, he had moved to where magical power was occurring, but the ones he encountered were a woman who looked like Jin Siwon’s younger sibling and Nayeon.
Jurim clicked his tongue briefly.
‘I should put a location tracker on him, but did I make it call-type for nothing?’
Cold sweat ran down the back of his neck.
There was no time.
The Master of the 99th Floor had appeared arbitrarily and consumed a lot of magical power.
If he opened Super Sense, how long could he last….
He stopped calculating and looked down at Irina.
Was it called Gnosis?
First, he should kill this thing-
That was when it happened.
Sensing the chilling killing intent, Irina opened her mouth.
“Rooftop.”
Irina looked straight ahead and spoke clearly.
“If it’s the child, he’s on the rooftop.”
* * *
Zachary MacLaren headed for the helicopter on the rooftop as soon as he realized that his business partner Allen Cravis had figured everything out.
Waiting for Irina who said she had something to do before leaving, he spat out curses.
“How long do I have to wait? Damn it.”
Just then, Irina’s zombies with seeds planted in them began climbing up onto the rooftop railing one by one.
‘Why are those guys suddenly? Are they plotting something?’
Or… were they sending him some kind of signal.
If she was using the ones with sprouted seeds rather than skills, it might mean she currently couldn’t use magical power.
Zachary trusted his intuition.
“Pursuers…”
He pulled out an emergency escape item from his chest.
When the item is used, it temporarily disrupts nearby waves, causing confusion among hunters and suppressing skill usage.
While it couldn’t completely cut off magical power, it was the optimal item for briefly diverting attention to escape.
“Hurry…”
Without loosening his tension, he looked toward the rooftop door.
* * *
The stronger one is, the more they let their guard down.
Irina knew this very well.
Thanks to that, she had been able to break the minds of Kirus’s high officials.
On Jurim, who had climbed onto the rooftop, looked at the helicopter with a bored expression.
At his expression that seemed to say ‘is that all you were after,’ Irina smiled calmly.
“The child is inside the helicopter. How about we exchange each other’s custody.”
On Jurim shrugged as if it was no big deal.
When the desired answer came, Irina smiled slyly, and Shin Nayeon urgently tried to stop On Jurim.
“Guild Master! Are you going to let them escape?”
However, On Jurim only shook his head as if he wanted to finish this quickly.
Shin Nayeon composed her frustrated feelings.
Irina moved straight toward the helicopter.
A presence could be felt from inside the helicopter. It would be Zachary.
If she could just make him look away from On Jurim for a moment, afterwards they could use Zachary’s stealth skill to make the entire helicopter disappear.
When Irina exhaled, white breath dispersed.
I’m tired.
Everything went wrong.
What happened to Zhenya.
Irina slowly blinked her eyes.
Is she completely out of her mind by now?
Zhenya.
Just wait a little longer.
I’m the only family you truly have left.
I’m the one person you should resent and love.
It was the moment Irina was approaching the helicopter step by step.
“…?”
What extended out from the helicopter door was a hand stained bright red.
The muzzle of a black Glock was aimed at her.
“Zhenya?”
The blood-stained hand pulled the trigger.
Bang!
