Chapter 316: In the Name of Light (1)

“What?”
“I-I think someone is here. There seems to be someone outside breaking the barrier. I’m not sure, but I think so…”
“Can you check it now?”
“I’ll check it out…”
I could see Jung Hayan slowly chanting the spell.
She must be trying to watch the situation with Anemone’s Eyes because that was the only way to find out what was going on outside right now.
I should take some action, too.
I could see a little embarrassment in Jung Hayan’s face when she slowly opened her eyes.
“Who is it?”
“…”
“Quickly.”
“TTthat person.”
“What?”
“It’s that person. The Republic people.”
“…”
Jung Hayan, who glanced at me, seems to think that I might misunderstand something, but I was not in a situation where I could misunderstand that.
I was also getting more and more anxious.
Naturally, I felt that the fire I had barely recovered could be rekindled. No, internal problems were no longer a problem.
I had stopped Jung Hayan in the first place to avoid being pointed out as an outlaw. It was to avoid the continent’s public rush and to establish an alliance between this side and Laios.
If they were to find this out now, the alliance would no longer be possible. I would also be recorded as the continent’s political opponent and be attacked by neighboring countries.
‘Why did they come so quickly? Fuck…’
That was the evidence that Jin Qing was competent.
It meant that he had that much good magical skills to move just by following my trail.
It was not easy for an ordinary wizard to feel the trace itself.
To search for the magic that Jung Hayan twisted in double and triple was also impossible for other wizards with stats over 90.
Perhaps he found my whereabouts because of my movements. Nevertheless, it was undeniable that the Republic side moved quickly.
It didn’t matter as to how he found me. What was more important is that I was cornered as a result of that.
There were a lot of magic barriers and a huge magic circle.
And anyone could see that Jung Hayan in there was the one who unleashed the magic. By any means, I was no better than a cornered rat.
‘I’m screwed. What should I do?’
My head was burning with stress from the series of recent events.
“Can you erase the magic circle now?”
“I-I can erase it, but it will take a while. Perhaps there will be some traces left… And… I think they have broken through the first barrier right now.”
‘Sh*t.’
“What should I do?”
“Wait.”
“It seems that the second barrier has also been broken…”
“What?”
“I think they got there in the third time…”
‘Why so fast?’
“Is there any other way to get out of here?”
“No. There’s no such… S-should I look for it?”
“No.”
Even looking for it, a way out would not appear anywhere.
‘Damn it, damn it…’
The situation was rapidly getting worse, just like when the murder suspect was found at the scene by the police.
“Park Deokgu and Han Sora…”
When I were to think about it, I started to worry about Park Deokgu and Han Sora, who were still waiting outside.
First of all, it was important to inform them of this situation.
As I hurried out of the room, what I could see was Han Sora, who was waiting for me with a nervous expression.
Park Deokgu still didn’t seem to know what’s going on.
“Has everything worked out? No, rather, why the hell are we here?”
“I’ll explain later.”
“You keep saying that. The curiosity is driving me crazy.”
Park Deokgu really looked curious.
Perhaps looking at my face, he realized that the situation was indeed serious.
Of course, Han Sora was no exception. In her case, she began to turn pale. It was obvious as to what she was thinking.
She must be thinking that things with Jung Hayan went wrong.
“Things went well, right?”
“Yes. It went well.”
“Re… ally?”
“Yes. You don’t have to be nervous.”
“Because you don’t look so good…”
“Something else happened. First, let’s go insi… no, No, I think it’d be better if only Sora came in. Deokgu, you keep on alert. If something happens, call me right away.”
Deokgu, who did not know what was going on, was excluded for now.
It was hard to predict as to how he would react if he heard that they destroyed the city.
‘It’s better for Park Deokgu not to know.’
It was correct to hide the fact that Jung Hayan and Han Sora’s collaboration destroyed the city.
However, it looked like his frustration has already reached the limit. I could see him opening his mouth with a loud voice.
“Hey, what is it? I followed you because you asked me to, but I don’t know what the hell is going on. Up until now, the inside was making a rumbling sound. No, was Hayan inside? Is it really Hayan who did that before? It seems like she was screaming, too… I can think of a way to help if you explain what this is all about!”
“I’ll explain everything in a bit.”
“Perhaps…”
“What?”
“What happened today…”
‘This pig is faster than I thought…’
It was momentary, but it was natural that my heart sank.
However, I had to clench my fists at what he said later.
“Did you found the whereabouts? Did you catch the culprit? No, at least a hint? So that’s why only the wizards moved?”
‘This bastard…’
“Isn’t that it?”
‘This lovely pig bastard!!’
It was only momentary, but a lightbulb had flicked on inside my head.
I wonder why I didn’t think of this. This pig, who gave me a big hint, became lovely.
‘You bastard!’
I didn’t know if it was a coincidence or not, but I realized it at Park Deokgu’s guess.
‘That’s it!!’
The perfect solution that looked like a picture.
Of course, there would be several variables, but what else could I do?
Currently, there was nothing else I could do.
“Right. Deokgu. You’re right. Fuck! You’re right! How did you know?! Puhahaha!”
I sent him a heartwarming smile instantly.
The pride of getting the right answer passed through Park Deokgu’s face momentarily.
“Really? Yes. I knew it! I knew it! It’s my job to notice what you’re thinking! Phew… Am I not your brother Park Deokgu? But why did you hide it from me? Were you giving me a quiz or something?”
“It’s not enough to tell Laios people or anyone else yet.”
“There’s no reason to hide it even from me! I’m disappointed.”
“I was going to tell you at the right time. It’s not because I don’t trust you, but because I haven’t been certain yet. It’s also dangerous. Anyway, I got caught, so there’s nothing I can do. Everything you said was right, Deokgu. Pfff. Just like you said, Hayan, Sora, and I were looking for the one who did that magic, and I’m not sure, but we’ve come to a conclusion.”
“Still…”
“Don’t be too upset. It was all because I had something in mind. I think I have to look at the situation inside once again, so if anyone comes until the investigation inside is finished…”
“Stay alert, you mean?”
“Of course. You are the only one I can trust. Deokgu, you can do it, right?”
“Of course, I can! If that’s the case, leave it to me! Because I will be holding on to prevent even one ant approach! Yes, I will!”
“Wow! Our Deokgu is so reliable!”
“When it comes to trust, come to Park Deokgu! Saying it like that, I can feel the responsibility!”
I saw Park Deokgu raising his shield after nodding effusively.
I felt like it would have been better if Ahn Ki-mo or Kim Ye-ri had been here. I didn’t know if this would be the second episode of Park Deokgu’s prank, but this wouldn’t happen.
‘Maybe he’s not an idiot.’
I didn’t know how he appeared at the right moment and helped at the right time.
I looked at Park Deokgu with my Mind’s Eye, but the way the guy was snorting and holding the shield was still the same.
In the meantime, Han Sora was looking at me as if saying what I was talking about, but what could I do?
Han Sora, one of the culprits, didn’t have the right to do that kind of expression.
I kept feeling like I was going to burst into laughter. I quickly spoke up.
“I would like you to help me with the investigation inside, Sora-ssi.”
“What?”
“Quickly. It’s urgent.”
“What… happened? Are you… sure everything’s fine? Perhaps…”
“It’s not what you’re thinking, so, quickly. It’s urgent.”
“I, I… I won’t get in trouble, right? You’re not angry, right?”
“It’s nothing like that, so come in quickly.”
“Really? Really? I’m not going to be sacrificed…”
“I’m not calling you for that. Please come inside quickly. This is not a request. It is necessary.”
“R-Really…”
“Go in quickly, Sora. It’s! This is all necessary to catch the outlaw! If you avoid this because it’s dangerous, those who were unjustly sacrificed… Anyway! I don’t know who they are, but those vile scumbags need to be eliminated! I don’t know where they live, but since it’s caught in Hyung-nim’s hand! They will definitely pay for their sins! Yes! Absolutely! It’ll be crushed! The moment you get caught by the righteous Lee Kiyoung, the bad guys will tremble!”
“Right. We must find the outlaw. Right! Deokgu, then, I’ll trust you. Criminals usually come back to the scene, so they might come back here. Perhaps they know we’ve arrived here.”
“It’s okay, just leave it to me. I’ll be holding on tight until your investigation is over.”
The problem with Park Deokgu was over.
When I hurriedly looked at Han Sora, I saw her moving as if she was really reluctant.
When we entered, I could see her flinching as if she saw Jung Hayan nervous, but when Jung Hayan came running to me, she sighed, relieved.
She realized that the problem between Jung Hayan and I had been solved.
“Thank God. Thank God… I’m saved…”
She even started to cry thick tears. However, we didn’t have any time to spare.
“I’m saved… It’s all solved.”
“Not everything has been resolved, Sora-ssi.”
“Yes?”
“Just one more thing.”
“W… What.”
“You can summon it, right?”
I could see her face looking at me as if she was asking what I was talking about.
