Chapter 186 : The Monster Rookie of the 1st Unit (3)
Chapter 186 : The Monster Rookie of the 1st Unit (3)
Jo Sujin rushed toward the darkness of the tunnel.
'She's fast!'
Su-hyeon's eyes widened slightly.
Rat-tat-tat-tat!
Whizz!
Numerous attacks flew toward her, but.
Jo Sujin, who had already mounted the texture of the wind, simply continued forward, easily avoiding all those attacks.
'Amazing evasion ability.'
Su-hyeon inwardly admired.
'It's quite different from my method of dodging through dynamic vision.'
"Hey, let me cover you at least!"
Woong!
A massive wave that flew from behind blew away bullets, flames, and bazooka shells.
Boom! Boom!
'Must be Kang Jaewoo.'
Kang Jaewoo, who took on the rear support role, had the characteristic 'Resonance'.
It was a power specialized in shooting down long-range attacks by emitting vibration waves.
'Of course, he's good at fighting too.'
Su-hyeon smiled at the tactics that fit together like gears, then created Mana Shields in the air to step on while closely following behind Jo Sujin.
"Oh my, look at this guy?"
Jo Sujin, who drew her longsword, launched a slashing attack using the wind toward the front.
'Hmm!'
Su-hyeon admired once more.
'That's different from the flying strike used by the Sword Spirit.'
The slashing attack launched using the wind was relatively less weighty compared to a flying strike, but more nimble and sharper.
'I can't lose.'
Whoosh!
Su-hyeon also launched a flying strike full of sword energy.
"Aaargh!"
Screams of Ma-in were heard wherever his flying strike flew.
'Whoa.'
Jo Sujin, who glanced back, laughed as if dumbfounded.
'Have I ever seen such a precious bastard?'
She had heard he was that Lee Ho-seung guy's disciple, but this is...
'He was raising a tiger cub.'
No wonder he contacted her and nagged about not treating his prized disciple badly.
'He's indeed worthy of such fuss, isn't he?'
She smirked.
Meanwhile, there was one more person in A Squad who could keep up with the charging speed of the two people who had gained momentum.
"Senior Squad Leader!"
"Oh, Taesung! You're here!"
Kim Taesung, who had transformed into a beast-man, appeared beside the two with tremendous speed.
'Were-Black Panther.'
Su-hyeon's eyes gleamed at the fighting spirit emanating from his sleek yet muscular body.
'It would be difficult to be confident about winning even if I used all my strength now.'
Indeed, Kim Taesung's current estimated grade was A.
'Better than most Squad Leaders.'
Su-hyeon thought it was fitting for a squad that claimed to be the strongest blade in the 1st Unit.
"Hey, rookie!"
"Yes, Senior Squad Leader!"
"Stand on my left!"
"Understood."
'This is unexpected.'
It meant to take charge of one wing among the three vertices.
This would have been unthinkable with the usual Jo Sujin.
But she was already excited, so she was going with the flow.
'I can't miss this.'
Su-hyeon wasn't a man to miss an opportunity earned by his own skills.
"Let's go!"
"Yes!"
Su-hyeon gripped his Moonless Sword tightly.
Boom!
The charge of the three people crushed the vanguard of the Ma-in who had set up a formation and were waiting.
❀⋆。°✿☆❀✿°。⋆❀
Were-Black Panther Kim Taesung.
Based on the overwhelming athletic abilities unique to feline predators, he was freely tearing through enemy lines, appearing at the flanks and rear of Ma-in to deliver powerful surprise attacks.
"Gaargh!"
"That bastard is too fast!"
Sometimes on four legs, sometimes on two.
Unlike ordinary lycanthrope awakened ones, there were almost none among them who could counter Kim Taesung's movements, which fully utilized the tactics inherent to his species.
"I'll take care of that bastard!"
Even if a powerful Ma-in among them stepped forward to face him.
Whoosh!
They couldn't track his movements that utilized his unique flexibility and elasticity.
Slish!
"Aaaargh!"
They couldn't protect themselves from his powerful claws, and.
Crack!
They couldn't maintain consciousness against the intense attack of his forepaws.
Thud!
Kim Taesung, who easily took down a Ma-in, performed a backflip about 3 meters into the air to avoid an attack coming from behind.
'I'll subdue them as quickly as possible while they can't get their bearings.'
The predator's eyes beneath his mask gleamed sharply.
'By the way, this is unexpected.'
His gaze turned toward Su-hyeon.
'He knows how to fight. Whether he's good enough to overtake Seo Jun-seong and even defeat Min Hae-na, I'm not sure yet.'
Kim Taesung's eyes narrowed as he recalled the exploits Min Hae-na had shown as an intern around this time last year.
'I'm getting curious. Let's see.'
Meanwhile, Su-hyeon, who was striking Ma-in with his Moonless Sword without coating it with sword energy and easily bringing them down, was facing a large Ma-in wielding a giant flail.
"I'll crush you to pieces!"
Woosh!
The flail flew in with a chilling sound of air being cut.
Crash!
Su-hyeon easily avoided the attack and dove in close to the Ma-in.
"Hehe, come on!"
As if it were a trap, the Ma-in extended his fist gripping knuckles.
"Hmm."
It was a sharp straight that seemed well-trained, but.
It found the wrong address.
'Mana Shield, Hardening Mode.'
Woong.
Su-hyeon, wearing gauntlets, extended a left straight.
Crack!
Su-hyeon's fist, which crushed the Ma-in's steel knuckles with protruding spikes, went on to pulverize the bones in the Ma-in's fist.
"Aaaargh!"
The Ma-in, who dropped the flail, howled while clutching his shattered right hand.
'It works well indeed.'
Su-hyeon thought.
With his regular fists, they would have collided and engaged in a power struggle.
From there, he would have had to engage in the next tactical exchange.
But now he had completely crushed not just the knuckles but the fist itself.
'This makes things too easy.'
Hardness equals attack power.
Su-hyeon's fist, equipped with speed, power, and hardness, had evolved one step further at this moment.
Crack!
Su-hyeon planted a left body blow straight into the suffering Ma-in's liver.
"Uugh..."
The Ma-in, with eyes wide open, collapsed forward while clutching his side.
Boom!
"Gack, gaaack!"
"Hmm."
Seeing the Ma-in writhing in pain, Su-hyeon reflected.
'Should I have hit a bit softer?'
Jo Sujin was using wind spirits to launch slashing attacks and avoid enemy attacks while simultaneously.
"Go, Salamander!"
Kweeee!
She was also stirring up a firestorm by mixing in fire spirits.
"Kuuk, what the hell is that!"
"You idiot, that woman is the crazy elf of the 1st Unit!"
"Ah! So that's the crazy..."
Flare!
The flames infused with wind even roasted the Ma-in's tongues.
"These bastards have disrespectful mouths."
"Fire!"
Rat-tat-tat!
Jo Sujin, who easily dodged the incoming bullets with her unique lightfoot technique, launched a slashing attack to cut through the guns.
'She fights well.'
Su-hyeon thought as he glanced at her.
Jo Sujin's wind was not like Hong In-hyeon's typhoon that swept everything away.
It was the best sub-weapon that supported her own powerful combat ability.
'She's strong.'
Jo Sujin's longsword, which had descended to the ground, was slicing through skilled Ma-in.
'If I had to describe it, it's closer to a bastard sword.'
Jo Sujin's longsword, which had a usage method falling into the category of one-and-a-half-handed sword like Su-hyeon's, was also a widely renowned famous sword.
"Aah!"
"Gaaah!"
'She's cutting and stabbing only parts that avoid fatal wounds.'
In Jo Sujin's field of vision, she spotted a Ma-in who looked like an executive at a glance.
"Taesung! Isn't that bastard famous?"
"Yes! The drug dealer Lee Gwangseon! A red Ma-in wanted for civilian massacres!"
"Fucking bastard! You're dead!"
"Immediate execution?"
"Do you even need to ask!"
Jo Sujin's gaze became fierce.
One doesn't become a red Ma-in simply by being a bit strong.
'It's designating Ma-in who habitually engage in deliberate attacks against innocent people, hunters, or Execution Force members according to their own criteria.'
Su-hyeon thought.
"For bastards like that, killing them is self-defense!"
The Ma-in facing Jo Sujin's anger spat out curses.
"Goddamn it! Of all people, that bitch?"
This wasn't their plan.
'We're screwed. Who would have thought the 1st Unit bastards would come.'
"Bullshit! If you want to die cleanly, stick your neck out, you bastard!"
"Would you do that if you were me?"
Anyway, shouldn't they at least try to fight?
The Ma-in loaded his fist by swinging his waist back as if doing shot put.
Rumble, rumble.
The twitching fist gave a hint of the power being condensed there, but.
"What the hell is that idiot doing?"
Jo Sujin mocked.
Wasn't it a stance obviously showing he would punch with that fist?
"Huuup!"
The energy accumulated to the extreme was released all at once, and a straight extended with a speed reminiscent of supersonic.
Boom!
The shockwave created from the fist was strong enough to break walls, but.
Jo Sujin, who dodged by riding the wind, suddenly appeared above the Ma-in's head and was swinging down her longsword.
"Got you!"
The Ma-in, who grinned, sent dozens or hundreds of punches raining down on Jo Sujin like a machine.
Swish-swish-swish-swish!
"This bastard is shooting a machine gun with his fists! Have you been reading too many comics?"
Jo Sujin, who raised the wind, fluttered like paper avoiding the barrage as she closed the distance.
"I'm someone who doesn't get hit even if a machine gun is fired at me, and you think I'd get hit by something like this?"
Slish!
She cut off the Ma-in's left shoulder.
"Aaaargh!"
"Bastard, how dare you call that a tactic."
The Ma-in's powerful right straight flew at Jo Sujin, who sneered.
However.
Slish!
Sujin swung her sword to match the flying trajectory, precisely cutting off the Ma-in's wrist.
"Aaaargh!"
"Does it hurt? You wouldn't have known that when you were cutting others."
Boom!
Jo Sujin, who struck the Ma-in with a palm strike accompanied by wind, sent him flying to the wall and slowly walked over.
"S-spare me...!"
"Bullshit."
Clang!
Jo Sujin, who cut off his head, clicked her tongue as if she just realized something.
"Ah, I should have asked where the boss is hiding."
Isn't the head she needed to ask already flying through the air?
"Taesung!"
Jo Sujin turned around to ask her reliable subordinate.
"There's a secret passage. It's said he's hiding there. A large number of bombs are planted, so we need to be careful."
Su-hyeon, who had already subdued an enemy, recited the information he had secured.
"...Oh, really?"
Jo Sujin, who was dumbfounded, smacked her lips.
'What is this guy, really?'
❀⋆。°✿☆❀✿°。⋆❀
After Jo Sujin, Kim Taesung, and I broke through, the remaining remnants were being cleaned up by the squad members who followed.
"How many cartel bastards were swarming in this tunnel?"
"There must have been a hundred. The scale is substantial."
"Geez. But the leaders still haven't appeared, is that it?"
The squad members, who had separately subdued Ma-in and humans, barely showed even a scratch on their bodies.
'This unit is frighteningly strong.'
Ghost-like coordination, individual capabilities, fighting spirit, operation execution ability.
From any angle, they truly deserved to be called the elite of the elite.
Above all, Senior Squad Leader Jo Sujin's overwhelming breakthrough power, destructiveness, and versatility completed this unit.
"Hmm. Well then. Taesung, did you dig up anything too?"
Jo Sujin, who summarized the situation, asked Kim Taesung.
"Yes."
What he said was almost identical to the information I had uncovered.
"...Cross-verification completed."
Jo Sujin, who smacked her lips, shrugged.
"Rookie, good job."
"Thank you."
"My goodness, what high school kid gets praised by our Squad Leader from their first mission."
The squad members gathered, snickering.
"Hey, this rookie is no joke?"
"He fights quite well, doesn't he."
"Seems to have many talents too."
"Thank you."
"Shut up. The situation isn't over yet, so don't inflate his ego."
"Senior Squad Leader, you praised him first."
"Shut up before I crush you."
"Yes!"
Jo Sujin, who shut the squad member's mouth, asked Kim Taesung.
"So. The escape route of the leaders?"
"There is one. According to the confession..."
'He's indeed thorough.'
The coldness and thoroughness of Kim Taesung, who assisted Jo Sujin who moved with improvisational and animal instincts.
The balance of this unit was truly perfect.
"Good. Four of you block the escape route."
Jo Sujin's decision was both quick and precise.
'Her tactical capability is also excellent.'
"Taesung, you take command."
"Understood. Then..."
Kim Taesung's gaze briefly rested on me.
"Rookie, you move in a free role. We haven't taught you any tactical actions anyway."
"Understood."
"Don't get in the way by overreaching."
"I'll keep that in mind."
"I'm watching you."
Jo Sujin, who still seemed dissatisfied about something, yet couldn't really say anything because I was doing too well, clicked her tongue and said.
"Everyone."
"Yes!"
"Let's finish this quickly and go eat!"
"Yessir!"
