I Will Save the World and Retire Chapter 158

Dad is strong (2)

I opened the lid of the potion bottle.

I could feel the refreshing scent of the potion through the thick burnt smell. Hong Seok-young carefully checked Woo Hee-jae’s wounds.

I’m not sure what caused the explosion. Since the explosion occurred anyway, it doesn’t really matter.

“… Tsk.”

If I had been wearing armor, I wouldn’t have been hurt this badly. I should have put something on in the helicopter. Hong Seok-young regretted it later.

Woo Hee-jae’s wounds are concentrated on her back. Since he mentioned his younger brother, I guess he did it to protect that child.

Hong Seok-young gritted his teeth. He was asked to save his younger brother. You can’t waste time.

He pulled out the knife stuck in Woo Hee-jae’s shoulder. The spoiled sword burned brightly, just like when I first held it without knowing what to do. Hong Seok-young forcibly broke the sword with his magic power. The flames fluttered in my hand and then lost momentum.

After pulling out the sword, I immediately poured the potion. You will need to receive proper treatment, but first aid is sufficient. I took out a few more bottles of potion and sprinkled it on Woo Hee-jae’s back. Just in case, I tilted the potion bottle and poured it into my mouth.

Hong Seok-young’s son, not his successor.

I didn’t even get into a pilot high school, so I went to a regular university and made a movie.

If this hadn’t happened, it would have been rare to go into battle directly. He said he has a hunter’s license, so at most he’s only been through a few dungeons. Hong Seok-young, if it were him, it’s clear that if the child said he didn’t like it, he wouldn’t have forced it.

‘dad.’

Hong Seok-young smiled faintly.

I said he had a bit of a master-like side to him. I raised you. It’s obvious even if you don’t look at it.

We had to move quickly, but we couldn’t leave the child in an unsafe space where an explosion might occur again. I used first aid with a potion, so I should be okay for now. Hong Seok-young carefully supported Woo Hee-jae.

We moved to a small lounge area a little away from the kitchen.

Hong Seok-young laid Woo Hee-jae down on the wide sofa. Meanwhile, Woo Hee-jae seemed to have come to his senses a little and opened his eyes blurry.

Hong Seok-young closed the eyes again with the palm of his hand and then spoke.

“Dad, I will definitely bring my younger brother.”

“… … .”

“You don’t have to worry too much.”

Woo Hee-jae mutters something. I listened for a moment to see if there was anything more he wanted to say, and all I could hear was grumbling.

What is he saying now. You’re talking nonsense again. Aren’t you tired of it?

Hong Seok-young chuckled.

“I’m leaving everything to Dad and resting.”

* * *

‘Teacher Hong, you know what my magic is, right?’

In the study, Kim Chae-min spoke quickly.

‘You probably know this, but I’ll explain in more detail.’

Of course, the pension is spacious. Kim Chae-min was unable to move as he was monitoring and defending a space measuring several hundred pyeong. However, as roses covered the pension, he was keenly aware of what was happening inside.

‘My magic is not dense. It’s basically a vine. Of course there is a gap.’

‘You know that.’

‘But that doesn’t mean it can’t be prevented. Why can’t the fish escape the net? My vines act as a net. Even if you try to crawl through the gap, it’s blocked.’

‘hmm.’

‘There’s someone who keeps poking inside through that gap right now?’

‘Where is it?’

‘In the kitchen. If you see the vines flinching before being pulled… A teacher is probably blocking it. Still, she won’t last long, ah. I think Teacher Wu went there too. ‘Someone’s moving.’

‘I sent it. I want Lee Rok to find it.’

Kim Chae-min’s face brightened a little.

‘Still, it’s difficult to catch intruders from inside due to the nature of the magic that tries to drive them out. They’ll get dragged out quickly. So, rather than trying to catch it from inside, it’s better to catch it when it runs away… .’

Hong Seok-young came out of the building and called Kim Chae-min. Before the signal even rang, she was picked up by Kim Chae-min.

-Mr. Hong?!

“Teachers Han and Teacher Wu are injured. “I poured the potion on you, so you’ll be okay for now, but you need treatment.”

– Hurt, yes, yes! I’ll send out all the hunters now.

“And the intruder escaped. “I’m thinking of going after him now.”

Kim Chae-min became quiet.

“You probably missed it, right?”

Seokyoung Hong scratched the dirt floor of the garden with the tip of his spear and waited. Fortunately, before Hong Seok-young’s patience ran out, Kim Chae-min opened her mouth.

-My magic is trickier on the outside than the inside? Do you think I missed it?

“then?”

-I haven’t escaped yet. North, within 5 km. If you are a teacher, you will find it right away.

“Thank you.”

Inside the dungeon, Semblum gained wings.

What Hong Seok-young learned while catching monsters was that the monster’s appearance and its abilities were generally the same.

There is nothing to think about difficultly.

If you have wings, you can fly. If you have developed leg muscles, you can lunge. If it has sharp claws, it swings them. Those that look like spiders spit out spider webs, and those that look like sheep live in flocks.

Semblum gained monster wings. Considering its size, it is questionable whether it can fly, but it is not strange to think that it has abilities related to mobility.

It is clear that the guy from the hotel in Seoul arrived here in just a few tens of minutes. However, Kim Chae-min said that it wasn’t that long ago that he started trying to break in in earnest. Unless it leaked somewhere else, it is not the ability to teleport like Alex Hope.

And when it comes to physical movement, just showing the guy’s head is enough.

Like right now.

Hong Seok-young kicked the ground. One beat later than Hong Seok-young, who ran out, the ground split open and the sound of a crack was heard.

The blue-haired wizard, who was struggling to escape from the vines, realized Hong Seok-young’s presence only after hearing the sound.

“Tsk… !”

The wings are already tattered. It is a work by Tae-kyung Han and Hee-jae Woo.

Seokyoung Hong slowed down right in front of Semblum. The guy’s eyes are shaking. He couldn’t keep up with the pace. If he had been alone, he would have swung his spear and cut it down, but he couldn’t because he was holding Ui Rock, who was lying limp and unconscious. Instead, Hong Seok-young swiveled the window.

He held the spear upside down and stabbed Semblum in the solar plexus with the blunt end of the spear.

“Wow!”

Semblum was unable to dodge properly and rolled around on the floor holding his stomach. This is why wizards. As Semblum’s resistance weakened due to shock, Kim Chae-min did not miss the opportunity. The vine lunged at him again and wrapped itself around Semblum. You may not have full control of his movements, but at least he won’t suddenly fly away.

This is why things are easier if you have a trustworthy wizard. The problem is that most wizards cannot be trusted. As expected, bringing in Kim Chae-min was the right answer. If it weren’t for the runes, he would have been difficult to catch.

… When I think about it that way, I owe a lot to the son from the future. If you miss him here, you won’t be able to see him.

“Don’t come any closer!”

Shem Bloom hurriedly pulled Uirok towards him. It was different from the way she had a somewhat detached expression in front of the monster. If this was more human, it would be humane and full of life, but if what you were doing was covering your body with a child’s body… .

Hong Seok-young did not hide his bad mood.

“Do you think I will take care of you if you take my child hostage?”

“Everyone knows that Hong Seok-young likes children!”

“… Is it because I’m a foreigner? The tone is a bit odd. “If possible, wouldn’t you tell me that he is a kind man to children?”

Seokyoung Hong put down the spear. The spear fell to the ground with a heavy sound. Hong Seok-young scratched his head.

“And you know that, but don’t you know that I won’t let anyone who takes a child hostage live?”

Hong Seok-young’s favorite weapon is a spear. A window taller than Hong Seok-young. Perhaps because of the presence and intimidation of the weapon, people often easily forgot that Hong Seok-young was capable of doing without a spear.

In the end, weapons only assist the hunter and cannot enhance the hunter’s skills.

And Hong Seok-young was not foolish enough to be helplessly defeated by someone who could not even follow his movements.

I saw the child Semblum was holding. Although she was concerned about her limp body, she seemed unharmed other than scratches on her face. Her breathing is also stable. No, it’s not stable… .

Are you pretending to faint?

Hong Seok-young grinned. She is a smart child. When she thought that she would grow up to be Woohee Jae, she was both funny and amazing. I think the essence is the same no matter how old you get.

I tried to cut it off right away, but since I have a child, it didn’t seem good for my emotions to be too cruel. Of course I don’t plan on looking at it, but I don’t know.

There are many ways to take someone’s life without seeing blood. Hong Seok-young was not a hunter who only conquered dungeons. She has often been tasked with tracking down and dealing with illegal awakeners at home or abroad when requested by the government.

So Hong Seok-young grabbed Semblum’s neck without hesitation. As expected, the wizard could do nothing.

Again.

There was the sound of a thin wooden stick breaking.

Seokyoung Hong looked down at Semblum, whose eyes were wide open with a cold face. She has no intention of playing around. She has no intention of playing to the tune of Semblum.

Semblum’s body collapsed without even being able to scream. Hong Seok-young took Ui-rok from his hand. As I lifted his light body and held him in my arms, his head fell back.

No, who on earth does she look like?

“… “You can open your eyes now, Lee Rok.”

“… … .”

“There are no bad people. “The uncle scolded me.”

“… … .”

When I saw the limp body, I had an intuition that parenting in the future would not be easy. It was his instinct as a father. If Woo Hee-jae had known, he would have been annoyed and asked if he was still talking nonsense, but Woo Hee-jae wasn’t here right now.

So Hong Seok-young thought somewhat lightly.

“Shall I go back to my brother?”

Isn’t that what your future self did? Then he can do it himself.

‘… ah. If this is the case, will I have to work hard to survive in the future?’

“… … “Umm.”

As soon as I mentioned my brother, the child slowly opened his eyes. She faints from the shock of the explosion, but when she opens her eyes, she finds herself with a stranger. If he were a normal child he would have been scared and burst into tears, but he didn’t show any signs of that. Rather, I looked at Hong Seok-young with wide-open eyes.

“Is your brother okay?”

“huh?”

“Brother. Earlier… People.”

Uirok pointed at Semblum, who was lying down. Hong Seok-young blocked the child’s view while pretending to control Woo I-rok.

“I thought my brother was dead… .”

“I’m a little hurt, but I’m okay.”

“… “You’re hurt?”

Ui-rok struggled. Hong Seok-young quickly calmed the child down.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

“… “Are you okay?”

“He was injured but is receiving treatment. “If you move right away, the wound may get worse, so you came to pick me up.”

Uirok chewed his lower lip. Same habits as Woo Hee-jae.

Then, as I was thinking about something, my face relaxed.

“It’s okay as long as my brother is okay.”

“okay?”

“If only there was someone who could treat me differently than before… .”

“… okay.”

Ui-rok is a child born and raised in the Ark’s Human Research Institute. For a child with such a growth process to grow up so well, it must have been thanks to the hard work of his older brother, who is presumed to be dead.

Woo I-rok twisted his body to escape Hong Seok-young’s arms, but Hong Seok-young quickly lifted him up again.

“Oh, what is it!”

“It’s a long way from here to the pension. “I’ll take you there.”

“I am not a child!”

“But it would be easier if you took me there.”

A frowning face glared at Hong Seok-young. It couldn’t be helped since she was the same person, but her face was so similar to Woo Hee-jae that Hong Seok-young asked without realizing it.

“Wouldn’t you like to do it, uncle’s son?”
