# 챕터 18

"어, 젠장." 다현이 차를 떠나 뒤를 돌아보며 말했다. 지소옥은 끝까지 그녀를 향해 환하게 미소 짓고 있었다. 마치 그녀가 다현에게 그녀에 대해 걱정하지 말고 가라고 말하는 것 같았다. 다현은 이빨을 살짝 물고 차 한 줄에 가볍게 뛰어들었다.

그런 다음 그녀는 지금까지 자신이 가지고 있던 뚜껑을 벗었습니다. 길고 허리 깊은 붉은 머리카락이 바람에 펄럭였다. 색상이 너무 강렬하여 하얀 피부가 더 창백해 보였습니다. 다현은 천천히 마나를 끌어올리기 시작했다. 강력한 마나의 물결이 휩쓸고 붉은 머리카락이 하늘로 뻗어 올라갔다.

"불꽃의 마법사들! 우와아아아!"

주변 사람들이 그녀를 알아보기 시작했고 흥분하여 소리 지르기 시작했습니다.

"레인보우 식스의 붉은 마녀가 왔어!"

"파괴자야! 우리는 살아있다!"

이들은 모두 S 계급 각성자 인 김다현을 묘사하는 단어였습니다.

"가능한 한 많이 물러나세요! 그 파열이 곧 터질 것입니다! 달려라!"

"뭐야? 본부 지원은 어떻습니까!" 누군가 깜짝 놀란 목소리로 큰 소리로 물었다.

"나는 세부 사항을 모른다. 나는 그들이 튀어 나온 후에 올 것이라고 생각한다. 가능한 한 서둘러 뒤로 물러서십시오! 위험해!" 다현이 말했다.

다현의 울부짖음에 혼란이 고조되었다. 달리는 동안 서로를 밀어 붙일 때 부상을 입은 사람들이 있었지만, 이것은 Dahyun이 할 수있는 최선의 방법이었습니다.

파열에 집중할 때였습니다. 그때였다. 손목에 걸린 전화기가 진동했다.

[파열 경고 공지.]

[각성자 관리국 던전관리국]

[서울섹터 B-3-NA 근처 파열]

[2학년 위험등급 악마야수, 스틸혼 램이 예상된다.]

"스틸혼 램? 모든 것 중에서, 왜 그런가." 다혁이 침을 뱉었다. 다현은 여섯 명의 한국 S계급 각성자 중 한 명이었지만 여전히 불 요소 마법 유형의 한계를 가지고 있었다.

"나는 이것에 내 목숨을 걸어야 할 것"이라고 Dahyun은 자신에게 말했다. 실제로 생명을 위험에 빠뜨리는 것은 그녀에게 중요하지 않았습니다. 그녀는 사냥꾼으로 경력을 시작하기로 결정한 후 언제든지 죽을 준비가되었습니다.

"하지만 뭐든 엄마를 보호해줄게!" 다현이 말했다.

파열은 점점 더 강해지고 있었다. 주먹 크기의 붉은 불꽃이 다현 주변에 형성되기 시작했다. 총 10개의 파이어볼이 점차 파랗게 변해 다현의 마나를 흡수했다.

50,000 화씨 이상의 푸른 불꽃. 그것은 그녀가 만들 수있는 가장 강한 불꽃이었습니다.

파열이 마침내 터져 공간을 찢어 버립니다. 그런 다음 찢어진 공간을 통해 강철 뿔 숫양 무리가 나타나기 시작했습니다. 짐승들은 키가 10 피트가 넘었고 날카롭게 보이는 거대한 강철 뿔과 푹신한 흰 모피로 덮인 시체가있었습니다.

"넌 날 통과해야 할 거야!" 다현이 강철혼 램 무리에 팔을 휘두르며 주장했다. 푸른 불꽃이 빛처럼 날아가 스틸혼 숫양의 머리에 꽂혔다. 파란 불꽃은 스틸혼의 몸 전체를 태우는 거대한 폭발을 일으켰다.

숫양. 짐승은 펄럭이며 격렬하게 흔들렸다. 그러자 온 몸을 태우는 것처럼 삼켜졌던 푸른 불꽃이 서서히 사라졌다.

다현은 보고 있을 때 눈살을 찌푸렸다.

"나는 그것이 작동하지 않을 것이라는 것을 알았다"고 Dahyun은 말했다.

스틸혼 램은 마법 타입 웨이크너들을 위해 싸운 최악의 상대였다. 양털 같은 체모는 엄청난 마법의 방어력을 가진 갑옷이었고, 두꺼운 가죽, 단단한 뿔 및 두개골은 마법을 통해 치명적인 타격을 처리하는 것을 거의 불가능하게 만들었습니다.

As such, the basic approach to deal with the Steelhorn Ram was to inflict a physical attack. Dahyun’s speciality was in wide ranged magic attacks, which made it worse.

"Then I’ll throw until it strikes you down!"

A Steelhorn ram with the flame completely extinguished prepared to charge Dahyun. Then it kicked off the ground to charge and Dahyun quickly swung her arm. More fireballs were thrown at the ram.

"Here’s the second shot!"

Steelhorn Ram shook off and resisted the flames again.

"Third! Please die for god’s sake!!"

The roaring of a Steelhorn Ram heard through the exploding flames.

"It’s dead!" shouted Dahyun as the flame exploded the skull of a Steelhorn Ram. The smell of burnt meat filled the area. Of course, Dahyun didn't have time to care about such trivial things. She just managed to knock down only one Steelhorn Ram that was leading the herd.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

She saw a total of eight Steelhorn Ram running out from the ripped space. She now had six blue flames around her and it was going to take at least a minute to recreate those blue flames. She was only able to take down one ram, or two if she risked her life. Dahyun finished the calculation and laughed bitterly.

Then she threw four flames at the Steelhorn Ram. Blue flames instantly struck into the head of the Steelhorn Ram, causing a massive explosion. The Steelhorn Ram fell to the ground.

There were seven Steelhorn Ram left now.

Dahyun looked around, but she could only see people shaking with fear as they tried to get further away.

"Damn those headquarters people. So slow."

Dahyun reached out her hands and grabbed the blue flame floating in the air. Blue flames in her both hands exploded, and Dahyun's whole body was engulfed in blue flames.

"I wished I didn’t have to use this.”

It was the strongest ability that Dahyun had, that burned her mana to use superhuman power. However, it was also a dangerous skill that burns life slowly and eventually turns one into a handful of ash when mana runs out.

Dahyun frowned briefly at the pain that seemed like her body was eaten away, but soon focused on Steelhorn Ram that was charging toward her. Dahyun was already ready to die when she decided to use her ultimate skill. She now just hoped that she did not waste her life in vain.

Dahyun's senses heightened as sharp as a blade, and felt like everything around her began to move slowly. Her use of ultimate skill had brought her into a new world with her superhuman senses. Thanks to that she was able to read the situation calmly while watching the seven Steelhorn Ram rushing at her.

‘I can see them. I can feel them. But can I do it?’ thought Dahyun. Although Steelhorn Rams were almost tangled up together as they charged, Dahyun hit the exact forehead with her fiery fist at the one in front.

“UGH!” Dahyun groaned at the moment of strike. It was an enormous feat that her delicate hands stopped the three-ton monster’s dash. But that was it. Steelhorn Ram faltered a bit but began to charge even more fiercely.

Dahyun jumped over the head of a Steelhorn Ram, and kicked the knee of the monster behind it. She did it because she realized that her attack was weak to strike hard skulls and hairy bodies.

As expected, there it worked. Steelhorn Ram collapsed, and Steelhorn Rams stopped from behind. She didn’t mean to take care of them all from the beginning.

‘I just need enough time for headquarters to come. That's the only way to save my mom.’ she thought. She just needed to focus on attacking their legs and buy some time. Then suddenly all the Steelhorn Ram lowered their bodies and began to move forward in groups, while swinging their steel horns. Unfortunately, they seemed to be more intelligent than they look.

"Ugh!"

And there was another problem. Mana began to be depleted and her skill slowly began to eat away at her life. She didn't have much time.

Dahyun ran fast, and aimed for the knee of a Steelhorn Ram, but was hit by its swinging horn and bounced back.

"Argh!"

Even in her right state, it was hard enough to attack, so it was no wonder she couldn’t make it anymore. However, Dahyun did not step down.

No, she couldn't back down.

‘If I die, I die!’ she thought. Behind her was the road full of cars, and mom was waiting not too far from there.

‘Just one more minute! One more minute!’

But contrary to Dahyun's firm will, her legs lost strength.

"Ugh!"

Dahyun stared at the ram charging at her with red eyes and barely turned her head to look at the back.

"Mom, I'm so sorry.”

***

Gyungho appeared suddenly over the cracked sector B-3-NA area. Of course, no one could see the sudden appearance because he was using a stealth skill to hide.

"I hope I’m not too late."

Fortunately, Jisook was still safe due to Dahyun's desperate use of her ultimate skill. The problem was that Dahyun, fighting against Steelhorn Rams with flames all over her body, was gradually weakening.

"S-shit!"

Gyungho saw Dahyun suddenly collapsing and the Steelhorn Ram rushing toward her and quickly reached for coins in his pocket and sprayed it in the air. Coins magically hovered in the air. Gyungho’s mana began to flow out and stormed.

The skull of a thick Steelhorn Ram would usually withstand most attacks, let alone an attack with a small coin. However, with the swordsmanship skill of Level 10, coins were transformed into the strongest weapon by infusing it with mana.

Gyungho then looked at the mana infused coins and increased mana input further. It was the power of his skill Amplification Level 10. The mana on the coin increased, increasing penetration and cutting power by ten folds..

As soon as Kyungho's hand moved slightly, a white mana coin struck down like a flash of light. The coin struck, making a white trajectory glow, penetrated the heads of Steelhorn Rams that were charging toward Dahyun.

Heads of all Steelhorn Rams exploded. Gyungho then hurried down to the ground where Dahyun fell. Gyungho saw a blue flame eating away Dahyun’s life and brushed it off. The blue flame faded away like magic.

"You haven’t changed a bit. Reckless as always. It must’ve been painful after your mana depleted,” said Gyungho.

Life energy getting burned away was a huge pain. Gyungho knew how painful it was better than anyone else so he became saddened. After getting out of his stealth skill, Gyungho reached out to Dahyun's stomach and began to activate her mana core with his mana.

Gyungho could not heal Jisook from her illness, but he had tricks up his sleeves when it came to a mana problem.

“Hang in there,’ said Gyungho.

He was better at controlling men than his cooking skills.

White light lingered above Gyungho’s hand and Dahyun’s pale cheeks began to blush up. After concentrating on mana control for a while, Gyungho took his hand off of Dahyun’s stomach with a short sigh.

He then got up and cut the Steelhorn Ram’s horns and meat from its buttocks and placed it into his dimensional space and checked on Dahyun. Her breathing was returning to normal and the mana was flowing back again.

“You punk, it’s been a long time. I’ll see you soon,” said Gyungho. He then turned around to look at Jisook, hid himself under a stealth skill and flew away.

After Gyungho was gone, Dahyun groaned faintly.

“Nngh…”

She barely pulled herself up and checked on her body.

“Huh?”

She knew that the blue flame was burning her away just until a while ago.

“That’s right! Mom!”

Dahyun however, remembered about Jisook and quickly got up and turned around.

“M-Mom!”

There she saw Jisook sobbing from a distance.

***

A fancy sports car accompanied by a loud noise stopped in front of the restaurant. It was Dahyun.

“Gyungho! Dahyun is here!” said Jisook.

She tried to pretend nothing had happened, but her eyes were swollen from crying. Gyungho acted as if he didn’t notice and greeted Dahyun following in.

“Dahyun? Whoa, it’s been a long time!”

But Gyungho actually had just saved Dahyun’s life. Dahyun was clean, as if she had just come back from a hair salon. She had a light blue short sleeved one piece skirt, and she looked pretty thanks to her tall height and slender figure.

“I heard from Mom that you got mixed into the Rupture. It’s good to see you back in one piece,” said Dahyun.

Gyungho knew that she was acting.

“You are in one piece, right?” Dahyun asked as she walked over to Gyungho and scanned.

“Yeah, I am actually healthier now,” said Gyungho.

That’s when Dahyun drew closer and gnarled in a low voice.

“You bastard, I’ll beat you up if you make mom sad again. Got it?”

She then smashed Gyungho on his back. But Gyungho still smiled.

“You haven’t changed,” said Gyungho. Dahyun was still the same Dahyun from ten years ago.

“I bet you two have a lot of things to catch up on. I’ll go prepare lunch,” said Jisook.

“That’s alright mom. I already made tteokbokki. I just need to reheat it,” said Gyungho.

“Oh, but Dahyun said she doesn't want to eat tteokbokki,” said Jisook as she turned to Dahyun worryingly.

#

Dahyun grinned and shook her head.

“No, mom. Gyungho was made for us after 10 years. I can’t refuse that,” said Dahyun.

“Are you sure? Okay then, I’ll reheat it and get it out,” said Jisook.

“It’s alright. You two sit down and wait,” said Gyungho as he pushed Jisook to the table. He then added, “Just don’t be surprised when you find it too delicious. I’ll be back in just a moment!”

Gyungho smiled as he went back into the kitchen.
