I Will Save the World and Retire Chapter 156

Rescue request (2)

“Everyone is here.”

I gritted my teeth.

“I told Mr. Kim. Just tear it up and go in.”

Hong Seok-young spoke from next to me. The voice heard through the headset was low. My heightened senses picked up the noise of the helicopter’s rotor through the high-performance headset.

I grabbed my sword. A crackling, sparking sound was heard from the tip of the sword. Seokyoung Hong held my hand.

“calm down. “If the helicopter crashes, we might be okay, but the pilot dies.”

I looked at the cockpit.

The pilot who parted ways in the burning Seoul. Even though he knew he was going to die, he had no choice but to break up. That person, how long could he last?

I gritted my teeth. I will save it. This is someone who can be saved. If we just take care of all these damn bastards.

“… Should I have killed him?”

Lee Mi-seon urgently provided a helicopter. I don’t know about the complicated procedures. Lee Mi-seon must have taken care of everything.

That was the only thought that came to mind during the short time I went down to the pension where the children would be.

I am being so hypocritical for no reason… !

I thought there would come a day when I would regret it, but I never thought it would come so soon.

“no.”

Hong Seok-young denied it at once.

“Taking someone’s life can never be a shortcut.”

Hong Seok-young opened the helicopter door. A strong wind blows. I heard the pilot say he was going to lower the altitude.

“Because your teacher wouldn’t have wanted that either.”

“… … .”

“So you didn’t kill him too?”

I looked down. I can see the pension. Kim Chae-min’s magic that surrounds him. Red and blue colors are tightly woven like a rose in full bloom.

“ruler. “You can’t be an embarrassing older brother to your younger brother.”

Just before I jumped, Hong Seok-young added.

I gritted my teeth.

… I can’t honestly say that my younger self hardly ever thought about it.

It probably means that you still haven’t properly accepted the child.

I felt the wind hitting my face harshly. Kim Chae-min’s magic power has gotten closer. Raising her sword, she coiled her magic.

Break!

Kim Chae-min’s magic was torn away and he came down to the garden. Hong Seok-young came down afterwards, and the torn part was quickly repaired. It was also proof that Kim Chae-min was safe. He said he couldn’t move from his study because he was setting up defenses.

I saw Hong Seok-young.

“I will find my younger brother.”

“I’m heading to the study.”

Likewise, I hope that Tae-kyung Han, who was unable to enter the study, stays with the child.

I went into the pension.

* * *

The inside of the pension was full of roses.

It’s not a metaphor. It is a literal rose.

All the walls were covered in roses, as if I had entered a gorgeous rose garden. The scent of roses was so strong that it paralyzed my nose, and I felt dizzy.

However, there is a fishy smell of blood mixed in between them. You couldn’t miss it.

I followed the scent of blood and moved. The size of the pension didn’t help at all. Occasionally, I heard a thudding sound in the distance.

It’s probably Tae-kyung Han.

‘The key is when our cockroaches will finish adapting… . Still, if that guy arrives, he’ll have no choice but to run away, right?’

I’m still not sure what adaptation Alex Hope was talking about, but I’m sure it’s not a good one. He didn’t feel much skill from Semblum in the joint… . With Kim Chae-min’s help, Han Tae-kyung will be able to easily defeat him. He may be a noisy guy, but his skills are real.

Coo!

“Ugh… !”

But Tae-kyung Han appeared in front of me.

It seemed as if something had kicked it through the wall.

Tae-kyung Han was holding the stand tightly. Han Tae-gyeong was as tattered as the tattered hat. Taekyung Han coughed up his blood and looked up at me with blurry eyes.

“uh… Senior Woo?”

Yoo Ji-eun overlaps the fallen body. Yoo Ji-eun also coughed up blood like that. There was a wound on my abdomen so severe that even potions wouldn’t work… .

“… Teacher Han?”

Tae-kyung Han forced himself up using the back of his stand as a cane. He slipped on the blood soaking his hand and was about to fall again, so I belatedly came to my senses and helped him up.

“That weird-looking guy… . How does Mr. Kim do his magic? “Drill, go.”

“Looks weird? What does it look like?”

“Blue, hair, arms like wings… long.”

Semblum.

“I think he might be a wizard… .”

I am not in a state where I can stand up. Tae-kyung Han was seated. The stand rolls around. Since they didn’t have a suitable weapon, they must have been using that as a weapon.

They pressed on Tae-kyung Han’s abdomen to stop the bleeding. It is not a fatal wound like Yoo Ji-eun.

“Here you are. Don’t lose your mind. “I’ll be back soon.”

“Senior Woo.”

Taekyung Han grabbed my clothes tightly. A red mark remains on a white shirt.

“That kid.”

“kid?”

The person Tae-kyung Han would call a kid… .

Mini me.

“That’s it, the kitchen. I made him run away to the kitchen. “It’s in the biggest place.”

“… … .”

I nodded.

“Go quickly.”

I just got up and ran in the direction Tae-kyung Han said.

It’s a short distance. There is absolutely no reason to be out of breath. But somehow, I felt out of breath all the way to my chin. She didn’t like that. Even though she wanted to swing her sword and set it on fire, she had a hard time calming herself down when she realized that the rose in front of her was Kim Chae-min’s. If this magic disappears, it will be a good environment for this guy to run wild.

I grabbed my sword.

There is a large dining table that can easily seat fifteen people. Usually, when it was meal time, we would all sit down and eat together. Even though Mini Me was grumpy, when I brought her, she sat between me and ate with a sullen expression on her face.

The floor is a mess. The table is also messy. The chairs were rolling around, and it was difficult to find Kim Chae-min’s rose in perfect shape here.

‘Do you know why I came to Korea?’

Alex Hope looked at me and Hong Seok-young with pity.

‘I was told to pull you two out. I understand that it’s a trap you can’t help but fall into, but you fell into it too easily.’

Kim Chae-min’s magic is shaking.

Without looking any further, I threw the sword there.

“evil!”

Semblum screamed, holding on to the arm where the sword was stuck. The fire on the sword burned Semblum’s wings. The guy gritted his teeth and pulled out his sword. Yoo Ji-eun’s black flame, which still burns all those who do not like her, has grown even stronger.

“Ugh… !”

Cheer up.

The guy dropped his sword. Blood drips down.

Taking advantage of that gap, Kim Chae-min’s rose vine grabbed him and dragged him into the air.

It was like this.

Since I can see the magic power, I can attack it in advance, but Han Tae-kyung would have had no choice but to allow the first attack. If that’s the case, it’s great that he was able to prevent it with such a wound.

‘Sandra always said that my problem is that I speak briefly.’

I looked into the kitchen.

‘That’s what I’m saying… . Didn’t I tell you? I didn’t say anything, but there’s nothing I can do if he notices. And the semi will notice as soon as it arrives. ‘But he still walks around with his eyes open.’

To be honest, I thought the problem wasn’t that I was short on words, but that I couldn’t explain things properly.

‘Anyway, if he takes me, my friend will be in trouble. I’m in big trouble. So make sure to kill me this time. ‘You promised me?’

Alex Hope was targeting Kang Tae-woo. So when he heard that he was being taken, he naturally thought of Kang Tae-woo.

Until Kim Chae-min mentioned Woo I-rok’s name, it didn’t occur to me that he might be what he was targeting.

And seeing as Semblum was making a fuss here, it seemed like that was true.

“evil!”

Sembloom was grabbed by the arm again and dragged by Kim Chae-min’s vines.

Han Tae-kyung was also blocked, and I was also blocked. There is nothing to learn. There seemed to be a reason why Alex Hope called it a cockroach.

“… … .”

I can’t keep doing this here. Let’s go to the study. First of all, ensuring safety is the most important thing. We can’t fight properly with Uirok here.

I blocked Semblum again and knocked on the door next to the refrigerator. It was a small space used as a food warehouse. I could also hear nervous breathing.

“Lee Rok.”

“… … … brother?”

After a while, Ui-rok answered carefully.

“It’s my brother. Are you opening the door?”

Wooirok was in the deepest part of the warehouse, putting away the box under the shelf and crouching down, hugging his knees.

I thought he might have been so scared that he was crying. This didn’t happen when I was ten. If I didn’t have an older brother, I don’t think I would have cried even if I had experienced the same thing. But isn’t that mini-me me, an older brother? Because I am much more dependent than the independent soul I was.

However, although Uirok looked scared, he was not crying. He wasn’t even shaking.

Uirok crawled out from under the shelf and looked at me with a blank expression. A smile slowly spread on Mini Me’s face.

“brother!”

“Lee Rok.”

“I thought you would come to save me!”

Uirok came hopping towards me.

“I was a little late last time, but you can take a look at that.”

“uh… Thank you for understanding.”

“Is everything okay now?”

“… no. “You still have to be careful.”

Mini Me motioned to me with a nonchalant expression. When he bowed her waist in accordance with the gesture, she smiled brightly and placed him on her back. The warmth of her small child radiates from her back.

“But you will protect me.”

There was absolute trust in the child’s voice.

That I will protect myself no matter what happens.

The same beliefs I once had.

Without even knowing how I brought you from the orphanage or what I was thinking when I looked at myself every day.

As if he were the only one on his side in this world. As if I were his whole world.

Just like I once did.

Just as my faith, which had naturally faded when my older brother did not return, was revived again through my father.

“… okay.”

The light weight of a ten-year-old child weighed me down more heavily than anything else in the world.

“I will protect you.”

I am this child’s older brother.

This child’s whole world.

All the world this child remembers.

The standard for all the world that this child will learn as he grows up.

My eyes were sore.

I finally made up my mind.

Are you ready to become Wooirok’s older brother?

“You have to hold on tight.”

“huh.”

The force surrounding the neck is quite strong.

As soon as I left the warehouse, my magical power wavered. Semblum never learns anything.

Yoo Ji-eun’s sword was no longer thrown. If you make a mistake and get taken to Chaemin Kim along with Semblum, it may be difficult to get them back. You can’t lose a good item like that.

There are still a few more daggers left that Lee Mi-seon gave me. The dwarf’s gold dagger is effective in blocking magical power. I prepared because I thought Alex Hope’s movement was done using dungeon items or magic artifacts. In order to catch anything, you have to block the escape route.

Semblum blocked the sword with his arm again. This time he pulled the dagger straight away without even screaming. Blood was still flowing from his mangled arm.

The rose vine moves.

But Semblum immediately stretched out his hand. Not towards me or towards Ui-rok on my back… .

towards the floor.

“… … !”

My eyes moved along Semblum’s hand. A floor filled with the blood he spilled.

The blood is spaced apart at regular intervals. As if it was spilled like that on purpose.

And the blood that had fallen was somehow familiar to the eye. Just like the runes I saw many times in the lab.

Rune!

Belatedly, I realized what Semblum was trying to do. But it was already too late. Instead of trying to stop Semblum, I hugged my brother who was hanging on my back.

Kwaaaaaaa!!!

An explosion swept through the kitchen.

* * *

hot.

hot.

hot.

I don’t know why the rune’s effect was amplified so much. Since the location was a kitchen, oil or gas may have made the explosion worse. No, I guess so.

In the end, even hunters are not invincible. There is no such thing as a good situation where a hunter can be harmed with just an attack imbued with magical power.

Although it is stronger than others. So, wouldn’t it be the case that only his back was injured in the explosion and he survived?

As soon as I came to my senses, I started looking for my younger brother whom I had hugged for the last time.

“… “Hey, Rock?”

No answer came back.

But the child’s white face twitches. I can feel my heart beating. she is alive Then it’s done.

“It took too long.”

The air splits before my eyes.

“you you… .”

“Thank you for being in the dungeon earlier.”

Shem Bloom grinned and picked up my sword. Despite the burns, she stuck the sword she had picked up into my shoulder.

I was more concerned about the hand he was reaching out for than the pain. When he grabbed Uirok and pulled him, he fell helplessly out of my arms.

Shem Bloom glanced at my face and disappeared into thin air. With my brother.

“… … “Ugh, ugh.”

I couldn’t hold back my anger and scratched the floor. Kim Chae-min’s magic is there, so it should still be near the pension. You have to get up right now and chase after him. Can’t waste time.

He’s my younger brother. I was finally able to think of him as my younger brother!

“Teacher Wu!!”

Urgent footsteps stopped next to me.

“What is this…?” .”

The humming sound slowly takes shape.

“Teacher Wu, come to your senses! Don’t pass out now! Wait, I have a potion… “I carry a potion with me.”

“… do.”

“Woo Seon, Woo Heejae!”

My Name.

My blurry eyes suddenly brightened and I saw the face of a man calling my name with a worried face.

“Are you awake? Can you see me? Do you know who I am?!”

Hair disheveled haphazardly. Rough chin with traces of whiskers. Hands full of scars.

A person who promised to always protect me, help me, and make whatever I want come true.

“… Brother.”

“Brother? Lee Rok?”

“mister… .”

“Sem Bloom took you?!”

“… bar. father. Also, younger brother… Dong, life, please.”

father.

“dad.”
