Nest of the Birds (5)
The moment 「Reversal」 was completed.
Jujak’s 「Karmic Fire」 was reflected.
As if mirrored.
Perfectly.
Exactly.
It returned toward Jujak.
Kwagagagagagagaga-!
Massive flames engulfed Jujak.
Its own ultimate skill.
Its own greatest power.
It burned itself.
[Health: 5,451,500 / 999,999,999]
Its health was reduced.
An enormous amount disappeared.
Nine hundred ninety million.
An amount of damage that the current Ryu Ji-a could never possibly deal.
With a single skill.
“Grrrr, how dare you!”
Jujak’s cry echoed through the sky.
It was enraged.
Even its beautiful voice had become rough.
Jujak launched its body from within the flames.
It spread its wings.
Crimson flames wrapped around itself.
It shook off the burning fire.
That scene itself.
Was like the sun being reborn.
Within flames mixed with crimson and gold.
The sight of Jujak gracefully spreading its wings.
For a moment, Ryu Ji-a’s eyes stopped.
Were those flames really.
That majestic?
That graceful?
It was clearly an enemy that had to be defeated.
Clearly a being that had to be overcome.
But that appearance was, truly.
‘Beautiful.’
However.
She had to do what needed to be done.
The provocation had to continue.
“Hahaha! You don’t even have half your health left!”
Ryu Ji-a shouted from atop the carpet.
With a voice as if playing a prank.
But her eyes were calculating.
Reading Jujak’s condition.
Predicting the next attack.
Even so, other emotions were mixed in Ryu Ji-a’s gaze.
Admiration and wariness. Awe and fighting spirit.
Both existed simultaneously.
Whoosh-
Jujak launched its body from within the flames.
That appearance clearly showed it had been wounded.
Burned feathers, a scorched body.
But those eyes were still cold and composed.
As if the difficulty of the game had changed.
“「Karmic Fire」.”
Jujak called out the name of that skill again.
Its strongest skill. Though it had been reflected, it didn’t seem to have any intention of abandoning it.
As if saying to try it once more if they dared.
Crackle-
Whoooosh-!
The second activation.
This time it was bigger. Stronger.
Flames covered the sky. As if the world itself was burning.
That sight was beautiful enough to send chills for a moment.
“Dodge! It’s coming again!”
Han Su-in shouted. But Ryu Ji-a’s gaze was still following those flames.
Should she use 「Reversal」 again?
Ryu Ji-a muttered, but soon shook her head.
The skill experienced through Adelaine’s 「Taste」 could only be used once.
Having already used it once, it was gone now.
She had to fight Jujak with only her original magic.
Was it a waste to use 「Reversal」 in that situation?
Should she have saved it a bit?
A moment of regret passed, but right now blocking this massive flame came first.
Even now, those flames were fiercely chasing after Ryu Ji-a, Lee Seo-yeon, and Han Su-in.
Whoooosh-!
Jujak’s 「Karmic Fire」 came down fiercely.
The distance rapidly closed.
Dozens of meters.
No, there weren’t even dozens of meters left.
Ryu Ji-a drew a magic circle.
But that alone wasn’t enough.
She knew it, but there was nothing she could do.
Han Su-in raised her sword.
But she couldn’t cut through these flames.
Lee Seo-yeon deployed a barrier.
But it had broken several times already.
She had used it many times already.
Her mana was also running low.
“What should we do…”
There was no skill to completely neutralize those massive flames.
The flames kept coming down.
Within arm’s reach.
Only a few seconds remained.
‘Where the hell is oppa.’
Kim Jun suddenly came to mind.
He definitely said this floor was easy.
‘This is manageable? Easy?’
No, how did he even know in the first place?
Kim Jun, who had been acting as if he knew the future from before.
Anyway.
“Shiiiit! Where are you! Kim Jun!!”
Ryu Ji-a began blaming Kim Jun in the face of Jujak’s desperate destructive power.
Because it seemed absolutely impossible to avoid.
Step-
At that moment.
Lee Seo-yeon stepped forward in front of Ryu Ji-a and Han Su-in.
Holding a small staff.
“What are you trying to do, unnie?”
Ryu Ji-a shouted.
“Stay still.”
Lee Seo-yeon answered very calmly, unlike Ryu Ji-a.
“What can unnie do! Let’s just run away quickly!”
“Stay still.”
Her voice was still calm.
As if she had foreseen this moment.
“Huuu.”
Everyone in the world overlooks it.
How much a supporter’s abilities can enhance a team’s potential.
With the advent of the Hunter era, supporters naturally began to be looked down upon like in games.
It’s the dealers who finish things.
It’s the dealers who are game changers.
You can clear without supporters. But you can’t clear without dealers.
Supporters are merely tools for dealers.
Such words circulated.
But.
Wooooong-
That too.
Woooooooong-!
For someone like Lee Seo-yeon.
Flash-!
Was nothing but meaningless words.
Lee Seo-yeon’s staff cut through the sky as it rose.
A massive light exploded.
[Skill: 「Sanctuary Declaration」]
[Grade: SS]
[Description: All damage nullified for [10] seconds, Attack Power/Magic Power increased by [50]% for all party members within the area for [100] seconds, Fatal damage nullified for [60] seconds afterward]
[Special: When receiving fatal damage, health will not drop below 1 for [60] seconds]
Brilliant and holy light explosively spread out.
Centered on Lee Seo-yeon.
Those lights connected to each other.
Like connecting stems.
Like connecting life.
Swooosh-
They wrapped around Ryu Ji-a and Han Su-in’s bodies.
Golden rays of light enveloped them.
As if divine blessing was descending.
As if dressing them in soft silk clothes.
The sight itself was elegant.
Sacred.
Kwaaaaaaaaa-!
Jujak’s 「Karmic Fire」 touched that golden dome.
Boom boom boom boom-!
A tremendous collision sound rang out.
But.
The golden sanctuary that Lee Seo-yeon declared.
Never broke.
“Uh, unnie! You had this kind of skill? It’s different from before?!”
Ryu Ji-a shouted in surprise.
“Focus!”
Lee Seo-yeon answered.
The effect of nullifying all damage for [10] seconds.
While it lasted, the three were perfectly protected.
And when those [10] seconds ended.
“Now!”
Death nullification for [60] seconds.
A state of virtual immortality where health wouldn’t drop below [1] began.
In other words, the opponent’s attacks weren’t a consideration.
They could just attack recklessly.
A kind of damage time.
The time Lee Seo-yeon created.
Those [60] seconds were exactly that.
Pat-
Han Su-in was already moving.
Because she realized the meaning of this brilliant light surrounding her.
These [60] seconds.
Though a short time.
For a skilled person like Han Su-in, there was no better time than this.
It was enough.
She could finish it sufficiently.
Spread-
Angel wings unfolded.
Han Su-in’s body charged toward Jujak.
It wasn’t movement in a straight line.
In curves. Drawing arcs. Avoiding all the flames Jujak emitted.
To Jujak’s back.
“W-wait!”
Jujak’s scream burst out.
It was bewildering.
Because something was strange.
Its sure-win skill had been blocked.
And now.
Color had returned to faces that had clearly been immersed in despair.
Movement had begun.
Especially that woman.
The skill that small, agile woman had deployed.
That certainly.
Gulp-
Made Jujak’s heart shudder.
Han Su-in’s sword rose.
Slowly.
But tremendous magical power was gathering within it.
Lee Seo-yeon’s granted [50]% attack power increase.
[60] seconds of invincible state.
Everything concentrated following Han Su-in.
“…「Eclipse」.”
A moon rose in the sky.
A red moon.
Jujak’s body floated up like the moon.
But the next moment.
Han Su-in’s figure completely covered the moon.
As if devouring the moon.
Eclipse.
In that fleeting moment.
───!
The moon was split in half.
No, Jujak’s body was torn in two.
Cleanly.
Perfectly.
[Health : 0 / 999,999,999]
Jujak couldn’t scream.
The body already split in two.
Could no longer speak any words.
*
Groooooooo-
An unknown, eerie cry was heard.
It wasn’t Jujak’s cry.
From below. Much further below.
It was a cry as if welcoming Kim Jun and Park Min-soo.
They continued descending through that endless massive cavity.
Downward. Continuously downward.
Much deeper than the height they had descended to find Park Min-soo.
Time passed.
Dozens of minutes.
No, perhaps even longer.
Descending along the cavity’s wall, Kim Jun felt something.
“There’s definitely something there.”
It was intuition.
The feeling that something was in this place.
“Wahahahaha! You’re sightseeing thanks to me, hyung!”
Park Min-soo chattered. Having escaped the terror of falling, his true nature now emerged.
“Let’s learn to tone down the nonsense a bit, Min-soo.”
“Ah, by the way, you know? There’s a rumor going around the lower floors lately. What is it, you ask? Should I tell you? Then I’ll tell you. What it is, is…(omitted)…Wahahahahahaha! How’s that! Interesting, right! We can enhance comfortably thanks to hyung anyway… Ah, shouldn’t we go enhance soon? We’ve accumulated a lot of Lunarium too. But over there…”
Kim Jun spoke, but Park Min-soo’s mouth still wouldn’t rest.
They continued descending meanwhile.
And finally.
The bottom came into view.
The floor of the endless cavity. And there, a massive cave entrance was situated.
“Huh? Here…a cave?”
“Hmm…”
Also. A tremendous aura could be felt.
It was extraordinary.
Like traces of some massive being that had been in that place since ancient times.
An aura like a place where something powerful had once dwelled.
Wooooong-!
The aura grew stronger.
The closer they got to the cave, the denser that aura became.
The air itself grew heavy. A pressure as if someone’s hand was pressing on their chests.
“…It feels familiar somehow.”
“Right. I find it familiar too? This aura is like…”
Both Kim Jun and Park Min-soo felt it.
That this aura was something special.
But even without knowing exactly what it was.
That aura certainly resembled Kim Jun’s.
No, to be precise.
“Isn’t this the aura hyung emits?”
Among the demonic and fire powers Kim Jun had newly acquired, the fire aura.
It was very similar to that.
Wooooong-!
At that moment.
Kim Jun’s entire body convulsed.
Something penetrated through him.
Flash-!
「Guide’s Light」.
That EX-grade skill he couldn’t activate himself suddenly became active.
—-

—-
The place that light pointed to was deep within the cave. Deeper inside. That was the place.
Kim Jun felt it.
He had to go.
He had to enter that cave.
He had to do so.
Baseless conviction. However, since 「Guide’s Light」 was guiding him, it was also grounded conviction.
“Hyung, that place is…?”
“We have to go.”
The two entered the cave.
It was dark. Deep and black darkness.
But 「Guide’s Light」 illuminated the path.
A gentle golden light pointed ahead, and they continued forward following it.
Swoosh-
Finally.
They had reached the end of the cave.
A massive stone wall blocked their path ahead.
A gigantic wall that seemed to be dozens of meters high.
Characters were densely carved across its entire surface.
Like someone’s monument. Or perhaps a warning.
“What does it say?”
Kim Jun approached.
“Hmm…”
It was an ancient language. Not a trace of any civilization, but a language that only the Tower possessed.
Looking closely at those characters, they were strangely captivating.
Rough strokes as if someone had desperately scrawled them, yet combined with lines that were both rigid and soft.
A handwriting that seemed to contain both anger and affection. Beautiful yet painful. That kind of feeling.
Naturally, there was no way he could read it.
“Hm?”
“What is it. Do you know what it says?”
He definitely shouldn’t have been able to read it…
“Kaiser’s second legacy…”
It was being read.
The ancient characters written in the Tower’s language.
As if someone’s voice was flowing directly into Kim Jun’s mind.
“Is sealed in this place.”
