NOVEL NEXT chapter 26
26 – Swordsman (6)
When I heard the ringing sound, I took out my phone and checked it. The word [Sujeong Han] Was written on the screen.
You said you’ve been very busy lately. Did you say that unprecedented things happen in which villains appear in groups?
As soon as I connected the phone, I heard an urgent voice and a request for help.
“Uh. Sujeong-ah.”
[Seo.Senior! Can you hear me? Can you help?]
“Suddenly?! What happened?”
[That’s… A request for support came in!]
I could hear the gasps of my breath as if I was running, and I seemed to be heading somewhere in a hurry.
I was worried about what was going on, but I decided to calm down Han Su-jeong first.
“Calm down for now. You look so impatient. You did that before. There’s nothing wrong with being impatient.”
[…] Ah… ]
As if I had realized something from my words, I heard the sound of stopping while moving in a hurry.
As the sound of his rapid breathing subsided little by little and his composure seemed to return, he slowly asked Han Soo-jung.
“You seem to have calmed down. Thank goodness. Speak slowly. What’s going on?”
[That’s… It is said that Team 1 was attacked while fighting the villains. Currently, there is no one other than me who can help.]
“Ask for other teams or team members? No 4 or 5… Maybe 2 or 3 teams can help? Or is there only one team left?”
[Currently, all members of Team 1 have been mobilized, and the remaining members of the other team are of low rank, so they are not helpful.]
“Ask for another branch. Ah… it’s too late. Okay. What’s the current situation?”
[I don’t lose my skills, but there are a lot of them, so I can understand that they’ve been beaten. Maybe there was an ambush.]
I know that the number of villains has increased dramatically recently, but to the extent that they even have an ambush.
Until now, if there were a lot of villains, from one to two, wasn’t it about three or four?
Most of the villains are individualistic, so they’re a minority, so they won’t move systematically…
Let’s deal with what’s right in front of us.
“Okay. Where are you? Let’s move together.”
[Really? Thank you. Senior… Not. Senior. You must have a sword! Are you okay?]
“Don’t worry about that. I have a sword.”
Looking down at the sword in his hand, he smiled softly.
Did you hear the conversation?
The sword, which had been quiet until just now, trembled minutely and seemed to howl.
As if urging you to write me in a hurry.
[Then I’m glad. The place where the request for support came in is a ◆□ abandoned construction site.]
“The assembly point.”
[◎◇ Let’s meet in front of the cafe intersection.]
“Okay. Don’t run. Get in the car.”
[I thought so anyway. Running for nothing is just a waste of stamina.]
When you become a superhuman, your basic physical abilities go up, but it’s not enough to just use it.
In the first place, most heroes do not train their bodies unless it is for secondary purposes such as beauty or health.
In the case of me, abilities are also involved, so I trained my body, because I only needed mana anyway.
“Then see you later.”
[Yes.]
After hanging up the phone, I immediately asked for an understanding from the elderly.
Because she couldn’t take her sister to a place full of villains.
“I’m sorry, sir. I’m in a hurry, so could you take care of my little sisters for a while?”
“It’s okay. Would you rather be okay?”
“It’s okay. With this sword, I can win even if a hundred people come.”
Seriously, not lies.
Baek Tae-hwan showed strength in Lee Seo-jin.
I patted him on the shoulder with a hearty smile and nodded as if to ask him to leave it.
“Then have a good trip. Thanks to you, I won’t be alone.”
“Thank you.”
Hurrying to say thanks, Lee Seo-jin was about to leave.
But just as she was about to leave, her sister stopped her with a loud cry.
“Brother. Take us too!!”
“Brother! Can’t you take us too…?!”
“What…?”
I was taken aback by her out of the blue.
As a situation is a situation, you don’t know what will happen in a place full of villains.
But you want to go with me?
I couldn’t do that, so I approached her sister to convince her and sat down on her knees to meet her gaze.
“No. You all know what the villains are like.”
“I can’t send my brother alone to a place where there are vicious guys like that!”
“That’s right. We can’t help but…”
“No. It’s more of a problem if you’re taken away and you’re swept away.”
“But…”
“I’m afraid my brother will get hurt…”
Looking at you earnestly wishing and begging.
She seemed to be hurting her heart so much that she would be comparable to any actor, but she had to distinguish between public and live.
But she showed no signs of backing down.
She has no powers, but she seems to want to be of some help.
But even so, if she took her sister, something bigger could happen.
Her heart hurts, but she needed to get out resolutely.
“No. No, no no.”
“…Whew…”
“…Haa…”
I wonder if the sisters understood what I was talking about.
She felt sorry for her as if she was really sorry, then fell down and lowered her head.
She looked so sad that she wanted to immediately withdraw her remarks, but once again she held on to her heart and stood up.
“Don’t worry. Nothing will happen. Elder. I’ll ask you then.”
“Don’t worry. You’ll be all right.”
“…Go carefully.”
“Come home. Brother.”
When I saw the sisters seeing off weakly, I left the studio with the thought that I should ease my mind later.

◎◇ Café Intersection.
Han Soo-jeong was standing still and trying to figure out what to do.
“Sujeong-ah.”
“Senior Seo Jin!”
In the meantime, when Lee Seo-jin came, Han Su-jeong was happy.
As soon as they met, the two started discussing.
“The current situation.”
“It’s not good. The number of enemies is 10. Currently, 3 members of the 1st team are captured. I came to see the situation at first glance, but I think they are seriously injured.”
“Is it fatal?”
“Fortunately, not to that extent. But you never know what they might do…”
“Let’s hurry.
“Okay.”
After grasping the overall situation, the two hurriedly moved.
After arriving at the abandoned construction site that was requested for assistance, he hid himself and looked around.
“…There he is.”
“It’s nice that I don’t have to look for it.”
There were several groups of villains right inside, not far from the entrance.
I was mocking and beating and playing with the 1st team members who were in a mess.
Han Sujeong, who was enraged at the sight, almost ran out immediately, but was restrained and managed to stop.
“Is that the end? Ambushes or reinforcements?”
“Nothing. According to the intelligence department, they are all over there.”
“That’s right… Have you figured out their ranks?”
“The highest value is A. The lowest value is D.”
“Hmm…”
I thought about it for a while.
The number is ten. There is no one particularly dangerous.
The physical condition and condition are at their peak.
Then… That should be enough.
“Sujeong-ah. Take care of the rear support here. I think I’ll be enough here.”
“Yes? Senpai? What do you mean by that?”
After making a request and moving, Sujeong Han hurriedly tried to stop her.
However, Lee Seo-jin moved one step faster, and although he was embarrassed, he decided to observe the situation.
Lee Seo-jin walked slowly.
The narcissistic villains didn’t feel who was approaching them.
“Puhahahaha! These guys are heroes? Isn’t it a big deal?”
Dubuk… Thump…
“Right. These bastards… Huh?”
As soon as we arrived right behind us, one of the villains, who felt something strange, turned around.
Then at that moment.
Pushyuk—!!
“Wow!!!”
He was cut in an instant, and blood welled up in his chest.
“Who are you?!”
“What!? When did you come?!”
After one person was killed, all the other nine people focused their attention on Lee Seo-jin.
But Seojin Lee was not taken aback.
I immediately swung my sword and cut two people at the same time.
“Keah!!”
“Ugh!!!”
Invisible speed.
Three people were cut in an instant, but as if nothing happened, Lee Seo-jin looked at them coldly with a cool gaze.
I raised my sword, but when I realized that I was strong, the remaining villains were taken aback.
But that was short-lived and they began to attack the words of the leader.
“Hero! Attack!!”
Lee Seo-jin was attacked as soon as he was speechless.
Fire—!
The flames raged and flew away.
Awesome—!
An ice pick was created in the air and flew away.
Whoops—!
A sharp wind blew as if tore it apart.
After taking a short deep breath, Lee Seo-jin swung his sword while looking straight at the attack.
“Balken sword— circuit.”
Suk-!
A sharp brushing sound rang out.
The sword’s trajectory drew a straight line and penetrated the approaching magic.
Then the flying magic disappeared in an instant.
The flames spread in the middle as if the wind had brushed through them.
The ice was broken into pieces.
The wind was sharply swept away by a bigger wind, then suddenly cut off.
Besides, the aftermath of the magic swirled around the sword for a while as if it had been sucked in by the sword, then disappeared.
The villains were taken aback by the sight they had never seen before.
“Eh. That’s ridiculous?!”
“You cut the fire and the wind…?!”
“What is that sword?!”
Embarrassed. It was bound to show a gap.
A slight gap gave Lee Seo-jin a chance to make the best attack.
I leaned down, took a posture as if I was about to run away, and gathered my strength.
When enough strength was gathered, Lee Seo-jin ran out like an explosion.
“Island”
Suseusseuk—!!
In the blink of an eye, Lee Seo-jin passed by a group of villains.
Unresponsive speed.
The villains were at a loss as to what had happened.
But I soon found out.
Pushyuk—!!
Because she had several sword marks on her body and fresh blood spurted out.
“Keuuk…!”
“Unbelievable…”
“What is this…”
One or two villains collapsed while staring blankly at Lee Seo-jin, unable to even scream.
Finally, even the captain collapsed, and Lee Seo-jin lightly swung his sword to remove the stained blood.
Surereung─
─Tak.
Leader.
All the villains have fallen, but Lee Seo-jin still exudes a cold and lofty atmosphere.
“Senior…?!”
Han Su-jeong, who was preparing for the unexpected by looking at the situation from behind, was so surprised that no words came out.
