Nest of the Birds (2)
Kim Jun likes to meddle. Especially with Park Min-soo.
“I can handle it myself!”
“That’s not how you do it. Lower your stance a bit.”
“I know!”
“If you know, then do it.”
“Ugh!”
It wasn’t pointless nagging.
Nearly 2 meters tall, his entire body covered in muscle.
‘Every single movement is hilarious.’
He was barely gripping a cloak the size of a palm.
No, it was too small to even call a cloak.
Flutter-
Every time the wind blew, that tiny piece of cloth would sway, and Park Min-soo’s muscular arm would tremble along with it.
He looked like a baby clinging to his mother’s hem.
“Aaah!”
Park Min-soo let out a scream. His massive body kept swaying.
“Uwaah! I’m gonna die!”
Park Min-soo desperately gripped the cloak tight, but his fingers completely covered that small piece of cloth.
“You need to lower your stance!”
“I already lowered it!”
“Lower it more! You need to properly center your weight!”
A cloak hanging by a single finger was supporting over 100 kilograms of weight, so it couldn’t help but shake.
Park Min-soo continued trembling as he desperately held on.
He didn’t even have the luxury of catching the approaching pterodactyls. Just moving was difficult enough.
“Hyung… do we really have to keep going like this?”
Park Min-soo’s voice trembled.
“Of course. What, are you scared?”
Kim Jun asked with a laugh.
“Can we rest a little?”
“Would that be okay?”
Park Min-soo asked pleadingly.
“Hehe.”
Kim Jun smiled wickedly and pointed ahead.
Right in front of them, a massive island appeared. An island floating in the sky. It was as huge as a continent.
“Why don’t you rest over there?”
As soon as Kim Jun gave permission, Park Min-soo hurriedly controlled his cloak and headed there.
Thoom-!
When his massive body landed on the island, a heavy footstep echoed.
And then.
Rumble-
The entire island vibrated. Park Min-soo lifted his head.
“Huh? What?”
Whoooosh-
The island’s buoyancy disappeared. Downward. Continuously downward. The island began to descend.
“Whaaaaat?!”
Park Min-soo screamed.
His massive body on the island also fell downward together.
His fingers gripping the cloak, any resistance was meaningless.
“What, what is this! The island is falling?!”
Park Min-soo shouted with a trembling voice.
“Yeah. So hang in there.”
Kim Jun burst into laughter.
He had known this fact from the beginning.
The floating islands of the 33rd Floor, [Nest of the Birds], normally maintain themselves well in the air.
But the moment a player steps foot on them, they immediately lose their buoyancy.
In other words, there was no time to rest.
“There’s no time to rest, Min-soo.”
“Uwaah! Hyung!! What kind of place is this!”
Unlike this Park Min-soo, the other team members looked quite different.
“This is pretty fun, isn’t it?”
Lee Seo-yeon launched herself from atop a giant book.
Like gliding over water, she moved freely between the floating islands.
“Right, unnie!”
Ryu Ji-a smiled from atop her carpet.
The vehicle that had been awkward at first was now familiar to her hands.
She glided to gain altitude, avoided pterodactyls, and eliminated them when necessary.
And Han Su-in was.
“…”
Quietly ascending with her angel wings spread.
Though not as flashy as the other team members, her movements were the most stable.
As if she had already finished adapting, she maintained a stance ready to kill enemies at any moment.
Seeing her slightly flushed expression, she seemed to be enjoying it somewhat too.
*
Dealing with the pterodactyls wasn’t a problem.
Because here was.
“Wahahahahahaha! Burn to death, all of you!”
The show-off loving mage, Ryu Ji-a.
Swish-
Ryu Ji-a raised her hand to the sky.
Her finger traced through the air, and magic circles appeared.
As if wanting to show off the new techniques she learned from Adelaine.
One, two, three.
And four.
Countless magic circles overlapped and layered.
The skills she learned from Adelaine weren’t really anything special.
Just how to further analyze and deconstruct the magic she already possessed, to create new magic on the spot.
Since Ryu Ji-a didn’t need new skills.
“「Meteor-August Wind-Aqua Arrow-Thunder」!”
“She’s really like an elementary schooler.”
…The combined name was a bit strange.
But the power was tremendous.
Caw-!
The pterodactyls surrounding them tried to flee in surprise at Ryu Ji-a’s aura.
Boom boom boom boom bang-!
Giant meteors blasted all the floating islands in the air.
When the destroyed island fragments shattered into hundreds of pebbles, a massive wind surged up around Ryu Ji-a.
Those island fragments scattered in all directions like exploding grenades, completely tearing apart the wings of the fleeing pterodactyls.
There, water arrows that had risen high into the sky spread across the heavens.
The surroundings became humid along with the still-lingering heat of “Meteor.”
Crackle-
And at that moment, lightning struck down.
Crackle-zzzzzt-!
The electricity conducted in all directions through the moisture. An enormous area was electrocuted in an instant.
“Ugegegegegegegek!”
Of course, including Park Min-soo.
“You did that on purpose! Are you crazy!”
“Hmph!”
“No, why is she acting like that? She’s really going to cause an accident at this rate.”
“Just focus on moving properly.”
“My precious cloak got a hole in it because of you!”
Park Min-soo pointed at the hole.
Where the lightning had passed through. Cleanly pierced fabric. Through that hole, the endless void below was visible.
“Huh? Is it my fault? If you had dodged properly, you wouldn’t have gotten hit.”
“How could I dodge? I can’t even maintain my posture!”
At that moment.
“Hm?”
Everyone froze.
Despite clearly floating in mid-air, it felt like an earthquake was happening.
Grooooo-
Pterodactyls.
Whether vibration waves had spread from Ryu Ji-a’s massive spells, or they had heard the cries of other pterodactyls.
In any case.
It wasn’t just one.
Grooooo-
Grooooo-
Grooooo-
Dozens, hundreds of pterodactyls came swarming toward this place, cutting through the sky.
“Everyone don’t stop, keep climbing!”
Kim Jun shouted.
Flutter-!
Everyone began moving in unison.
Gripping books, controlling carpets, spreading wings.
Han Su-in was already climbing dozens of meters ahead.
Angel wings spread wide, cutting through the sky.
One wingbeat.
She rose dozens of meters.
Two wingbeats.
Another dozens of meters up.
It was already perfect. Her harmony with these wings.
As if they were part of her own body, Han Su-in moved freely through the air.
The pterodactyls came swarming.
But Han Su-in first looked for the big ones.
Larger than the other pterodactyls, those in the upper ranks of the clustered groups.
They seemed to be giving orders.
Han Su-in headed toward them.
With wings spread, she twisted her body in mid-air.
Her companions following behind. She checked if Park Min-soo was keeping up with them.
And she raised her sword.
A large pterodactyl appeared before her.
It opened its mouth.
Han Su-in didn’t hesitate.
───!
The sword flashed.
She severed the pterodactyl’s neck.
That massive body screaming as it plummeted.
But Han Su-in was already looking for the next one.
There was another large pterodactyl.
She dealt with that one too.
Her movement in the air was perfect.
Like she was dancing.
But it was a dance of death.
Han Su-in’s sword continued to flash.
While protecting her companions.
While opening a path.
Prioritizing the elimination of large pterodactyls.
She climbed like that.
“I’m going to kill more!”
Ryu Ji-a shouted.
On her carpet, she raised both hands.
Her fingers traced through the air.
One hand drew a red magic circle, the other drew a green magic circle.
Simultaneously.
The magic circles materialized.
Perfect angle. Perfect timing.
Pop-!
A fire arrow burned a pterodactyl’s wing.
And almost simultaneously.
Slash-!
A wind blade cut down another pterodactyl.
One became two, two became three.
Ryu Ji-a’s spells exploded in succession.
But her gaze kept turning downward.
“Where is Park Min-soo??”
Lee Seo-yeon followed behind riding her giant book.
“「Enhancement」.”
Lee Seo-yeon’s warm voice echoed through the air.
The light surrounding her companions grew brighter.
Han Su-in’s movements became faster.
Ryu Ji-a’s magic became stronger.
“「Protection」.”
Lee Seo-yeon’s voice rang out again.
An invisible shield protecting everyone from the pterodactyls’ attacks.
Riding her book, in the sky, continuously climbing.
Lee Seo-yeon sustained the team.
They were perfect.
But Park Min-soo was.
“Uuuuuh!”
That very handkerchief that had holes pierced through it by Ryu Ji-a’s lightning magic.
That handkerchief, which already seemed like it was falling, kept crying out.
Wind passed through those holes.
One pterosaur charged toward Park Min-soo.
“Whoa!!”
Park Min-soo gripped the handkerchief with his hand even tighter.
But he couldn’t block with his other hand.
The pterosaur’s claws slashed across his shoulder.
“Ugh, it’s hard enough to keep my balance! Get lost!”
Blood flowed. His clothes tore.
At the same time, his body shook from the impact.
Park Min-soo’s body tilted to one side.
“Whoa?!”
The fingers gripping the handkerchief trembled.
The holes were getting bigger and bigger.
A tearing sound rang out.
Riiip-
One hole widened further.
Wind whooshed through it.
“Whoaaaa!!”
Park Min-soo clutched the handkerchief even more desperately.
But the strength in his fingers was also failing.
The pterosaurs kept swarming.
Another pterosaur passed by Park Min-soo’s side.
“Whoaaaaa!”
Park Min-soo’s massive body began to tilt.
It was no longer vertical.
It tilted.
As if surrendering to gravity.
The fingers gripping the handkerchief trembled.
One finger came loose.
Two fingers came loose.
Three fingers.
Four fingers.
“Waaaaah-!!”
Park Min-soo’s massive scream echoed through the sky.
The last finger slipped away from the handkerchief.
Pop-
The handkerchief flew away.
It scattered in the wind.
And Park Min-soo’s heavy body.
Had nothing left to hold onto.
Gravity pulled him down.
Downward.
“Park Min-soo!!”
Ryu Ji-a shouted.
But Park Min-soo’s body was already falling dozens of meters below.
Through the cries of the pterosaurs.
Below the Clouds.
Into the Black Darkness beneath.
The team members looking down from above.
And Park Min-soo plummeting below.
Watching that scene.
Kim Jun sighed.
“Sigh.”
He had planned to do nothing on this floor and just ride the bus.
But sure enough, Ryu Ji-a and Park Min-soo had created work for Kim Jun.
“Everyone stay up there.”
Kim Jun said.
“And Ji-a.”
“Yeah?”
Ryu Ji-a turned her head on the carpet.
“Since this happened because of you.”
Kim Jun’s expression was quite serious.
“If you don’t take down the boss before I come back up.”
“Then what?”
“A million nuclear flicks to the forehead.”
Shiver-
Ryu Ji-a’s face turned pale.
“Why, why is it because of me!”
Ryu Ji-a puffed her cheeks and protested, but.
“Min-soo’s cloak got holes in it because of you.”
“That was strategically unavoid…”
“You deliberately hit Min-soo too.”
“Tch.”
“Acting cute won’t work.”
“!!!!”
…She looked somewhat shocked.
But this time, Kim Jun had no intention of indulging her.
Swoosh-
He folded his wings.
Black and red slowly overlapped against his body.
And Kim Jun launched his body from the sky.
Toward the bottom.
He began falling vertically.
