chapter 33
33 – Heroes are memorized types
There is a glass pyramid in the plaza in front of the Museum of Origins. Maybe that’s why it reminded me of the Louvre Museum on Earth.
This is a world-class tourist attraction. Of course, a lot of people flock to it.
Chun Ji-ye has always been reluctant to go to crowded places. She forcibly followed me to a place I didn’t like, so I didn’t bother to say anything about the clinging to her left arm.
But Cha Yeon-hwa tackled her.
“Is it okay to walk around like that outside?”
“What?”
“A grown-up man and woman clinging to each other, aren’t they shy at all?”
“Um… ….”
That’s a valid point. I’ve seen her since she was a snuffer, but Chun Jiye is already 16 years old.
People in this world age slowly and grow faster, but at the age of 16 they were already adults. Besides, next year she will be 17 years old. She formally becomes a legal adult.
‘I always consider a 19-year-old to be an adult.’
Anyway, I don’t know when I was younger, but now I’m attached to it, so what I did was right.
She turned her head slightly, and Cheonjiye shook her head to express her intention not to fall. She was, indeed, acting like she was a kid for the first time in a long time.
“…… They are family.”
She murmured very softly. She was persuaded by that.
Perhaps it was because I was an orphan in my previous life, I especially liked my family. I didn’t talk dirty every day, so sometimes I wanted to use violence, but anyway, Chun Ji-ye was my sister.
“Ah, he’s a younger brother, so what?”
I could tolerate this level of shame.
“…… Under!”
Cha Yeon-hwa turned her head away, as if she didn’t like her answer.
She was about to go inside after paying the entrance fee at the ticket counter.
It wasn’t just one or two places where the space was distorted. It was strange, so I focused my aura on my eyes. The shape was carefully observed. All of them saw something presumed to be a beak and wings.
‘It must be that group of crows.’
From the moment I boarded the Battle Cruiser, I knew that they were no ordinary crows. But I thought it even had the ability to become transparent.
If I had bad eyesight, I would have been watched with no way to deal with it.
As long as you don’t know your opponent’s limits, you should always be careful when choosing.
As I looked around the inside of the museum, I waited for the blind spot to come. It was to prepare for just one case.
I turned the corner and went inside the small exhibition room. A blind spot that cannot be reached by the crow’s vision has arrived. Immediately, telepathy was sent.
The two of them were briefly surprised by the sudden telepathy, but soon listened to the story with a calm look.
Crows have been following us since Battle Cruiser. It has the ability to be transparent. The number of confirmed individuals is 20. You can overhear the conversation, so refrain from that.
[I still felt dirty eyes. So what do you plan to do?]
Befitting the main character of part 5, Yeonhwa Cha also used telepathy.
Cheonjiye conveyed her opinion by writing letters on the palm of my hand. It was about grabbing it right now.
I disagreed with that opinion.
Cat fairies and Cat Sis were right. Those crows are all the same. As proof, the aura that composes the body was the same.
In other words, it was a story of a summoned beast born with the power of divine protection, like Armand’s chess knight.
I have taken advantage of my good eyesight and have been studying strengthening-type spiritual power techniques.
Among them, there is a technique that detects the location of the caster by reading the aura of the summoned person.
If we wait a little longer, we might be able to catch the man behind it.
[Let’s watch a little longer.]
It was the moment when I expressed my opinion.
Boom!
A violent explosion was heard.
We ran out alone, wondering what kind of commotion this was.
A cloud of smoke rises from everywhere. Two of the pillars supporting the huge hall were broken.
A dozen crows that were watching over me were engulfed in fire and writhing.
People fled in panic at the sudden terror. A disorderly situation causes many casualties. The guards tried to control the citizens, but it was not enough.
Boom! Bang! Bang!
Fireworks in the hall are called explosions.
At the center of all the chaos was a familiar villain dressed as a phantom thief.
***
Essia was constantly approaching the crow, flying around the hall with her space-jumping boots, wearing artifact gloves that exploded any substance she touched like a bomb after 1-3 seconds.
It was to annihilate them.
Crows are very nimble birds. As they kept avoiding it, it happened that they wrongly destroyed other places, but Escia didn’t stop.
The other day, he had been wanted as an unknown villain for terrorizing an aaa broadcasting station. She came out wearing the same outfit, but there was no reason to buy it now.
‘Choi Ae-nim wouldn’t know.’
Those crows are not for surveillance.
Watching the subject was the goal in itself.
Thanks to Essia watching the future of many parallel dimensions, she learned some secrets that were not revealed to the world.
One of them was witchcraft.
It is a type of magic that should belong to an auxiliary position, but it evokes a mystery similar to divine protection.
The reason why this is possible is that witchcraft does not stop at simply consuming spiritual energy, but is realized by sacrificing human souls.
That’s why, at first glance, the form resembles a normal one embodied in a spirit energy. However, it was incomparably ugly because it was a technique that sacrificed people if you dig it well.
Those crows are creatures born from witchcraft by sacrificing one person.
According to the future Escia witnessed, the effect was to twist and kill the target’s five organs and organs, which he had been observing for 66 hours.
The ability to interfere with the opponent is easy to resist. Otherwise, Awakeners with telekinesis would have ruled the world.
Under normal circumstances, Bi Eun-hyeon would have raised his spirit and resisted. Or at least he would have activated the healing factor and erased the wound.
However, in the future I saw, the man appears just in time.
With his protection, which incapacitates the target directly touched by the right hand for a certain period of time, it even blocks the activation of Bieunhyun’s healing factor.
In the midst of that, if you get seriously injured and the blood continues to pour out, anyone has no choice but to die.
This time, the situation was urgent, so the attack was carried out right away. I was careful not to let anyone die, but since it was a crowded place, many people were injured.
In Essia’s opinion, Bi Eun-hyeon had a very upright heart. Unlike last time, he may hate himself for hurting many people.
Even if it is.
‘To save my favorite, I have to sort them out.’
A man in a black suit appeared in front of Escia, who was about to spurt.
A scar extending from the left lip through the chin to the tip of the neck. He is the person in my memory.
Gulp, swallowed.
The author was strong enough to deal with Cha Yeon-hwa and Cheon Ji-ye at the same time in the fallen world line with Bi Eun-hyeon coughing up blood.
“Huh, that’s ridiculous. Terror at the museum. How did you sell your conscience?”
The protection given at the beginning is not the end point. As the user becomes stronger, it evolves accordingly.
In the near future, Essia will be able to use the records of the destroyed world in battle, but that was not the story at this point.
All she can offer now is her 15-year-old physical superiority over her peers. There were only artifacts that were swept around the world’s auction houses.
The moment her man jumped at her with her fists raised, Essia approached another crow who was hiding with her space-jumping boots. She just touched it and it exploded.
Boom!
With a flash, the charred crow fell to the ground. The man who watched it frowned.
“Huh…… , It’s a very strange thing. Why are you aiming for crows? I thought it was a coincidence, but it wasn’t.”
Her man corrected her posture.
“Who are you?”
“…… “
“No, there is no need to ask.”
It was a really fleeting moment. Essia had no time to respond. Her man was standing in front of her nose.
“Something that just needs to be disposed of.”
The crow feathers that clung to her gloves disappeared.
‘Right!’
Essia belatedly recalled the fact that her man could use the traces of her crow to move freely.
The knuckle hit Essia’s stomach. She rolled on the ground ungainly. Her man walked to where he stopped. She lifted her foot over her belly and slammed it down.
Her abdomen ruptured, and blood filled her mouth.
“Hoho, his organs must have been crushed, but he doesn’t even moan. Mental strength is amazing. Let’s see some mugs.”
The man who grabbed Essia’s hair tried to take off her mask. However, this, named write-protection, is never removed without the user’s will.
“Huh, that’s an artifact, too. How many do you have?”
“… Boo, are you envious?”
“It can’t be.”
The man tried to punch her again. But she had an intrusive presence.
Kidduk— The stiletto and the knuckles gnawed at each other, emitting a metallic sound.
The man recognized who belonged to the bright red stiletto in Bi Eun-hyeon’s hand, but she did not waver and stepped back from her.
She took out a forged hero card from her bosom.
“I am Marcus, the guard hero of the Origins Museum. We are now in the process of arresting the villain. I will not hold you accountable or responsible for your actions. Get out of the way right now.”
There was a fact that ‘Jeff’, who took the pseudonym Marcus, overlooked.
“Marcus? Was there such a hero?”
Originally, Bi Eun-hyeon was a seriously ill hero virtuoso.
It got even worse after possessing this world. Even the heroes who did not appear in the original story were memorized.
“I don’t know.”
At this point, he was a limited but living roster of heroes.
