Chapter 46

Interesting fight

On the building rooftop six men were scattered here and there with serious expressions.

Among those six the man with the most rune characters was in the center of the rooftop.

He was the leader leading the remaining five. They call him team leader.

Anyway the team leader in the center of the rooftop with brows furrowed as much as possible confirmed the floor in various methods.

Here is the place where the bio core made by the organization was.

The bio core installed here periodically produces crawling old men.

A method of connecting with the building through mystery and extracting energy, and using that energy to produce anomalies.

So the anomalies the bio core installed here produced couldn't leave this building.

Also the reason for particularly producing crawling old men.

Anyway since shouldn't go outside the building, from the start making anomalies that can't go out maximized efficiency.

Of course the cost aspect was a bit larger.

"How can it be like this?"

The team leader couldn't easily accept this situation.

The bio core disappeared as if originally never there.

Even no traces of connecting with the building through mystery.

Connecting through mystery means not physically connected but spiritually connected so eliminating like this is impossible. Minimal traces are bound to remain.

Traces of forcibly extracting mystery, or residual mystery remaining.

But here even such things weren't there.

The team leader operated the mystery measuring device dozens of times repeatedly. But each time the result was the same.

Couldn't find any traces of mystery. The numerical value being 0 is not. But this degree of numerical value is a numerical value that naturally comes out if a region where anomalies were active even a little.

"Wow, this going crazy."

The situation was unusual.

The broadcasting guy coming here was a result the organization stirred from the start. Even sponsoring on Choi Byeong-uk's broadcast and recommending this building as a horror experience place and put effort so he decides.

Thanks to that the crawling old man's face came out frontally on the broadcast. Up to there was the organization's aim.

Also fully expected that the Management Bureau would come out for investigation. Something like that happened how would the Management Bureau stay still.

But, from there it went wrong.

The anomaly situation of this building shouldn't be handled so easily.

One has to make the Management Bureau pay attention to here in earnest.

But that all fell through.

In the end the responsibility one has to bear oneself.

The team leader scratched his head hard.

"How to resolve this?"

What how what how to do. Just report and wait for disposition.

Maybe might give extenuating circumstances.

The team leader forcibly awakening such vague expectation looked around the subordinates.

"Nothing came out there?"

"Except very faintly traces of combat none. The crawling old man seems hit with one sword. Well, traces too faint so not certain though."

The team leader exhaled a deep sigh.

"Hoo. Well, it can't be helped. Let's withdraw. First report and receive new instructions or whatever one has to do."

"Yes."

Trying to finish the situation like that and withdraw, the one who was at the edge of the rooftop urgently said.

"Team leader, someone came."

"Who? Report exactly."

"A car entered the parking lot. Uh... that somehow seems like the Management Bureau guys' car that confirmed here earlier?"

"What?"

The team leader quickly ran and looked down at the parking lot beyond the rooftop railing.

Just the car stopped and people were getting off from inside.

Certain. The Management Bureau guys who were examining here earlier.

"Ha. Finished business and pretended to return and waited for us?"

Too ignored the Management Bureau. Honestly didn't expect would pay attention this much.

"What public servant does up to that?"

Of course the Management Bureau is a bit distant from public servants.

"First only think of getting out. Don't fight for no reason."

"Yes."

The team leader moved thinking how to get out from here.

First going down from the rooftop is first. Here only one entrance so hard to run away.

* * *

"As expected as anticipated."

At Gwak So-yul's words Kang Sang-uk nodded.

"Fortunately discovered the tail, so now only remaining surely catching. If catching them and interrogating one will be able to find clues regarding the recent matter of anomalies occurring sharply increasing."

Kim Gyeong-tae moved smartly.

"First I'll set the barrier!"

Kim Gyeong-tae hurriedly ran toward the building entrance and stuck a small flag right in front of the entrance.

At the same time as sticking an intense wave spread from the flag and wrapped the surroundings including the building about ten-odd meters with a barrier.

Kim Gyeong-tae who stuck the flag sat down on the floor and panted.

"Huk. Huk. Wow, this really hard."

Kang Sang-uk seeing that chuckled.

"Still our newbie, talent is fairly? Originally sticking that usually faints. So one can have pride."

Kim Gyeong-tae supporting knees with a groaning sound raised his body.

"Ugh. Words that become strength."

Kang Sang-uk tapped Kim Gyeong-tae's shoulder.

"First rest here. If someone comes out just shoot and discard."

"Yes."

Kim Gyeong-tae answered and at the same time took out a gun.

Kang Sang-uk seeing that nodded. At this degree enough.

"Our senior Gwak So-yul also don't overdo. Don't forget that we are only the role of dragging time to the end."

"Yes. Know."

Already requested support troops, and diligently running this way. Ability users are only the three here, but the support troops are skilled ones armed with firearms so in ordinary situations rather more useful than ability users.

"Alright, let's go."

Kang Sang-uk and Gwak So-yul entered the building.

One can just wait outside and respond, but not knowing what variables will be made inside so one has to enter and confirm.

If those do crazy things it becomes really troublesome.

The two people entered the building and sharpened their senses.

"Seems no particular problems. Right?"

"Yes. Nothing getting caught in my senses either. Still just in case one has to prepare."

Gwak So-yul took out a crystal ball from the bosom.

The light faintly flowing from the crystal ball touched the barrier and intertwined complexly.

Gwak So-yul after blowing power into the crystal ball, quietly placed it on the floor.

Jade-colored light riding the floor from the crystal ball as center flowed and spread.

The light covered the entire 1st floor then sank to the floor and disappeared.

"Done. Shall we go up."

At Gwak So-yul's words Kang Sang-uk nodding took out a bundle of talismans from the bosom. And stepped on the stairs.

Even while going up the stairs one by one opened all senses wide and concentrated.

If feeling even a little human presence one has to respond right away.

Like that riding the stairs and going up, arrived at the 2nd floor. But on the 2nd floor no one. Kang Sang-uk continuously went up.

The 3rd floor likewise no one.

But certain human presence was felt from above. The enemies are now on the 4th floor.

Kang Sang-uk pulled a few talismans from the talisman bundle and scattered in the air.

Flutter!

Five talismans fixed in the air. In that state followed Kang Sang-uk's movements.

This was a simple talisman barrier. One that can block danger one or two times in sudden situations.

Kang Sang-uk prepared by pulling a few more talismans in advance. Will throw the moment the enemy appears.

This was a talisman containing binding power.

Knowing the number of enemies is six because already watched from afar.

So the prepared talismans were exactly six.

Kang Sang-uk slowly, carefully went up the stairs.

And the moment just stepped on the 4th floor, threw the talismans as is.

Flutter!

Six talismans poured out binding power.

On the 4th floor as Kang Sang-uk expected six enemies were there, and the talismans quickly flew accurately toward them.

But they didn't get hit so easily.

Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!

Bullets that killed the sound as much as possible with silencers pierced the talismans thud thud.

Kang Sang-uk seeing that was startled.

The talismans he just threw weren't things one can block with bullets. Even if hit by bullets flutter and let flow, shouldn't be pierced like that.

That is, meaning mystery is contained in those bullets.

Kang Sang-uk soon grasped the cause.

'Rune!'

Rune characters engraved on the guns were seen. And the rune characters the six men wrapped all over their bodies were also seen.

Rune magic the price is harsh so people who use aren't many. Not knowing but if using madly like that superior treatment ampoules will be needed.

Literally a hippopotamus eating money.

But the effect is certain. When wanting almost without delay instant activation is possible, and if only able to endure one can use however many times.

Like now.

Six strands of light beams were shot at Kang Sang-uk.

Pipipiping!

The talisman barrier Kang Sang-uk had spread in advance blocked the light beams then burned pitch black and became ashes.

The six men aimed guns at Kang Sang-uk.

Kang Sang-uk seeing that urgently threw the talisman bundle.

Pararararak!

All talismans spread wide embroidering the air.

"Cough!"

Because overdoing vomited blood but still succeeded.

Kwarrrrr!

Flare!

Jeojeojeong!

The talismans burning lightning poured, flames rose, and shockwaves burst out.

And some bound the enemies, some became sharp blades and cut the enemies.

The six men couldn't come to senses blocking the pouring attacks. The rune characters drawn on their clothes spat light, and a hazy membrane arose and blocked the talisman attacks.

But the price was miserable. They continuously vomited blood, and faces paled.

Soon one by one kneeling and collapsed.

Thud. Thud.

Still no one died. But a state where no strange even if dying anytime.

Because most organs deleted due to the rune magic used recklessly just now.

Kang Sang-uk looked down at the collapsed ones with a ruined expression.

"Ah... only dragging time that..."

Kang Sang-uk approached the collapsed ones. Of course didn't let his guard down. He rummaged the bosom and took out remaining talismans and threw in the air.

Five talismans fixed in the air and formed a talisman barrier. Just in case one has to prepare this degree.

Talisman price a bit costs, but that one receives support is enough.

Confirming up close everyone was right before breath passing. There was one person whose state looked a bit better, but he was also on the verge.

The person whose state was a bit better was exactly the team leader. He as Kang Sang-uk approached closely rolled his pupils and looked up at him.

The team leader's mouth corners twisted grotesquely.

Kang Sang-uk seeing that urgently retreated backward. No, tried to retreat.

But the team leader was a bit faster. His body melted as is then a huge light beam covered Kang Sang-uk.

Flare!

Five talisman barriers burned in an instant.

Kang Sang-uk's eyes became dark.

Kwaaaang!

The huge light beam hit the transparent membrane right in front of Kang Sang-uk and glanced upward.

The ceiling was smashed. And the light beam disappeared.

Kang Sang-uk swept down the startled chest.

"Hoo. Thank you."

When Kang Sang-uk turned, Gwak So-yul with a face turned pure white was seen. In the hand tightly gripping a crystal ball.

Consumed all the ether possessed making the transparent membrane that blocked the huge light beam just now.

Probably to fill this again will take fairly time.

"A, almost big trouble."

"Didn't happen. Thanks to Gwak So-yul-ssi."

Gwak So-yul looked at Kang Sang-uk with speechless eyes.

Kang Sang-uk chuckled then moved steps.

"Alright, now let's go. The rest cleanup tell the people coming behind to do on their own."

Gwak So-yul briefly half-glared at Kang Sang-uk's back then exhaled a deep sigh and followed.

Seo I-hyeon sent the ear bug again to the shadow eye and watched the fight between the Management Bureau and the strange guys from start to end.

The fight was very interesting.

Starting from sticking a flag and setting a barrier to installing traps using a crystal ball, and using talismans to spread a simple barrier, binding and pouring lightning, fire, wind, shockwaves, etc., and lastly blocking the enemy's attack using the crystal ball.

The enemy's attacks dealing with the Management Bureau were also interesting.

Especially the last attack. The rune magic activated sacrificing all one's body was very impressive.

That thick light beam glanced off the crystal ball's barrier, but pierced the 4th floor ceiling and also pierced the 5th floor ceiling.

Anyway thanks to that one could confirm even partially what power the Management Bureau's ability users use and how.

And thanks to quickly inserting the ear bug one could hear even partially the conversation of the ones on the rooftop.

Well, useful ones weren't particularly.

Roughly confirmed only that those brought the strange mucus lump that produces crawling old men here.

Seeing continuously examining the place it was and measuring something with the measuring device from time to time and grumbling, probably the situation that happened was hard to believe.

Seo I-hyeon freshly slightly stroked 'Breath of the Avesta'. 'Breath of the Avesta' is now fully hugged in Seo I-hyeon's bosom. Pages unfolded wide.

'This is not even a cat or dog.'

'Bug Praise Theory' was hesitating in the passenger seat and only continuously gauging the mood.

Seo I-hyeon seeing that chuckled and slightly gestured with his hand. Then 'Bug Praise Theory' leaped its body and stuck tightly to one of Seo I-hyeon's arms. As expected with pages unfolded wide.

'Breath of the Avesta' slightly growled at such 'Bug Praise Theory', but 'Bug Praise Theory' stuck even tighter to Seo I-hyeon's arm.

'Breath of the Avesta' didn't say anything more and just was. As if since Seo I-hyeon permitted it can't be helped.

Anyway Seo I-hyeon enjoyed the hug of the two magic books and continuously examined the situation with the shadow eye.

When the Management Bureau ability users leave the place thought of going and taking even the corpses, but they kept the place to the end.

After a while, several large vehicles entered the parking lot.

Soldiers wearing military uniforms of black camouflage pattern poured down.

On the clothes nothing that can identify them was attached.

Holding short rifles, a form of gun Seo I-hyeon had never seen even once.

Of course no matter how Seo I-hyeon went to the army knowledge regarding guns isn't that profound. But anyway a peculiar gun is certain.

Because on the grip part of the gun a jewel containing a crude light was embedded.

Dozens of soldiers surrounded the building. They were tensed as much as possible, but when Kang Sang-uk and Gwak So-yul came out from inside and exchanged a few words the tension sharply loosened.

The soldiers poured inside and secured six corpses.

And searched the interior thoroughly once more for sure then left like a receding tide.

Literally came like wind and disappeared like wind.

Seo I-hyeon admired throughout watching their actions. How orderly and neat.

"That is soldiers."

Seems not ordinarily hard trained.

Like that including soldiers the Management Bureau people all left.

Seo I-hyeon watched about one more hour after that. Just in case someone else might come.

Of course until one hour passed no one came.

Seo I-hyeon decided to finish this request here and started the car.

The two magic books were still stuck to Seo I-hyeon's chest and forearm.

"Now separate a bit so I can drive."

At Seo I-hyeon's words 'Bug Praise Theory' delayed a bit but still relatively right away separated.

But 'Breath of the Avesta' rubbed more as if even acting spoiled.

Seo I-hyeon seeing that chuckled.

Even doing this somehow not particularly hateful. Of course if continuously not listening to words like this troublesome.

'Breath of the Avesta' whether read Seo I-hyeon's thoughts, at an appropriate timing sneakily separated.

Seo I-hyeon quietly watched that appearance then suddenly something came to mind.

"By the way the blood of mine you sucked all night, how did you?"

At Seo I-hyeon's sudden question 'Breath of the Avesta''s movement stopped dead.
