12. Brother

… … .

“… … That’s why my sister was losing consciousness.”

“That happened… …because of me, you lost your eyes.”

“Because my sister is more important than my eyes.”

When two siblings were talking about this and that.

Sihyeon just stood there, dumbfounded.

There was no choice.

If Seo Ji-hye hadn’t absorbed the lightning with Astraphe, she would have lost consciousness immediately.

‘It’s Ramiel’s trick.’

Let’s absorb all that white lightning.

Seo Ji-hye was no longer old or crazy.

“You’re so strong? You can move.”

“Sister. Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“I want to go out for a bit too… … I’m so frustrated.”

“Okay, then.”

Seo Young-woo came in a wheelchair as usual.

But that’s it.

There was no way he could push a wheelchair when he couldn’t even see ahead.

“I’ll push.”

“……Is that true?”

“Yeah, Inma. And you were talking informally to me earlier?”

“… … .”

“Yeah. Why are you saying that to your hyung, Youngwoo? Your older sister is the one who treated you like this.”

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… Tongue, tongue… Brother. Brother.”

Behind Seo Young-woo, who followed along awkwardly.

Sihyeon moved Seo Jihye and put her in a wheelchair.

“That’s what happened, brother.”

Anyway, it was true that Sihyeon treated and saved her older sister.

Seo Young-woo called him “hyung” and treated him with respect.

Of course, I didn’t know if this was only in front of my older sister or if it happened behind her back too.

That’s how it was right now.

“Wow… … It’s beautiful. It looks like a European cathedral.”

“is it so?”

After finishing the tour of the park with Sihyeon’s guidance.

Seo Ji-hye returned to her room and lay down.

“Don’t worry too much. I will come by periodically to treat you.”

“Thank you so much… thank you so much.”

Seo Ji-hye held Si-hyeon’s hand tightly.

Is it because he looks similar to Seo Young-woo?

She returned to her youthful appearance and was quite a beauty.

“I will repay this favor somehow.”

“I’ll pay you back. If you’re my sister or older sister, you’re still my boyfriend.”

Looking at Sihyeon, who naturally puts a hand on my shoulder and smiles.

Seo Young-woo smiled awkwardly.

“Yes, that’s right, brother. Thank you.”

“Then take a rest.”

“Follow me.”

As soon as I left the room.

Seo Young-woo said with a cold, hard expression.

“quietly.”

“Yes, yes. Of course.”

The place I finally followed Seo Young-woo to was his personal office.

It was a place filled with all kinds of white crosses.

The interior of the office was filled with a hazy fog.

Even the fog was glowing white, as if it contained divine power.

‘Fantasy Fog.’

Of course, Sihyeon knew the identity of this fog.

Fantasy fog.

If this fog enters the respiratory tract of a player or living creature, all stats will decrease along with hallucinations.

“What are your intentions?”

As soon as the office door closes.

Seo Young-woo asked.

“Wow. Did you see how you started speaking informally as soon as you came out? Youngwoo. The front and back are so different.”

When I was thinking to myself, ‘It’s just like before the regression.’

White lightning began to appear around Seo Young-woo’s body.

“You know this isn’t the time to joke around, right?”

Phage crackling.

At the same time, the fog around the office began to rise higher and higher.

“How did you know I had a sister, and what do you plan to do with her?”

“What are your intentions?”

[Item, ‘Astrape (C)’ is transformed.]

Flash!

The astrape on Sihyeon’s wrist changed.

It soon took the shape of a giant sword.

In preparation for any eventuality, Sihyeon also carried minimal armament.

“You’re being too kind to the person who saved you.”

“… … .”

At least it was true that Sihyeon had saved his older sister.

In fact, from Seo Young-woo’s point of view, it was right to be grateful.

“… … Thank you, no, I appreciate it.”

Seo Young-woo, who had thought this far, bowed his head without hesitation.

How can the leader of a force called Dongsan bow his head so easily?

It was unexpected from Sihyeon’s point of view as well.

“Ohh…….”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Just. It’s the first time I’ve ever been truly thankful.”

“… … ?”

Before regression.

In Si-hyeon’s perception, Seo Young-woo was a show-off, a piece of shit.

Even when cooperating to fight a disaster, he never bowed his head.

Because I’ve acted a lot on my own.

He had the ability and power to do so, and eventually started a war against other players at once.

‘Well. In the end, I killed him with my own hands.’

Anyway, it is true that Sihyeon treated the guy’s older sister, Seo Jihye.

“Is there anything you want?”

To Seo Young-woo’s question that happened to be asked at that time.

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.

“Yes.”

gulp.

I thought that what was coming had finally come.

Seo Young-woo swallowed dry saliva.

The other person is his older sister who raised him his whole life in place of his mother who abandoned the family.

Si-hyeon was the only person who could save Seo Ji-hye.

So, I had no choice but to listen to whatever he said.

“Call me hyung.”

“……yes?”

“Call me hyung.”

Sihyeon, who had come over before he knew it, smiled faintly and tapped Seoyoungwoo on the forehead.

Because he was a guy who was like an enemy I fought to the death before returning.

At the same time, I know the guy’s abilities, strength, and meticulousness.

I wanted to see Seo Young-woo treat me with respect, calling me “hyung hyung.”

‘That sounds fun.’

Sihyeon, who was mumbling like that, added with a playful expression.

“Understand?”

“… … Yes, brother.”

“And while we’re here, let’s do one more thing. This isn’t a favor. It’s something you and I absolutely have to do.”

“What is it?”

“The fourth plague.”

The previous playful appearance disappeared without a trace.

Sihyeon’s expression became very serious.

“We need to prepare.”

“Do you know about the fourth plague opponent?”

“You know, my specialty is prophet.”

“A prophet… … .”

Prophet.

Originally, it referred to a being that sees the future and prepares for situations.

In this situation where reality has become like a disaster, it was called with a different meaning.

The characteristic that a prophet possesses is ‘information’.

I don’t know what ‘things’ will happen in the future.

You could see who the next disaster opponent was, what quests or rewards were hidden, and who had what powers.

“The next disaster we face is the gremlin.”

“A gremlin?”

“Yes. A green-skinned demon, a species of demon. It is smaller than a goblin, and has the characteristic of having weak armor.”

“Weaker than a goblin… … .”

Seo Young-woo felt relieved when he heard that.

With the current number of troops in the cemetery, goblins and such can be easily wiped out.

But there are guys weaker than those guys.

‘Besides, if they’re demons, they’re incredibly easy for us to use as divine powers.’

It was fortunate for Seo Young-woo.

“Don’t let your guard down.”

Did he realize that Seo Young-woo had let his guard down?

Sihyeon pointed out that very fact.

“Of course, since they are demons, it’s easy for players like us who use divine powers to catch them. But the scariest thing about them is their quantity.”

“Are you talking about quantity?”

“Yes. The quantity. Even if it’s not enough, at least ten times as many goblin cubs will pour out.”

“……that.”

The moment I heard the ridiculous number of ten times that of goblins.

Seo Young-woo’s expression hardened.

“You do realize that there’s nothing good about failing to clear the main quest, right?”

“sure.”

A main quest that appears every time a disaster occurs.

If he fails, he will lose all the power he has built and all the players he has collected.

His only family member, his older sister, could also be at risk.

That’s why clearing the main quest and preparing was extremely important to Seo Young-woo as well.

“How can I prepare?”

“There are only two things you need to protect yourself against gremlins: defense and stamina.”

“Defense and stamina?”

“Yeah. They don’t have much attack power, but they have sharp claws. We need to prepare for that.”

“… … I will strengthen the armor of the knights.”

“That’s important too. But stamina is more important. Since there are so many gremlins, you’ll be fighting them throughout the entire disaster.”

“So you’re saying it’s going to be a battle of physical strength?”

“Yes. Make sure you have plenty of potions, and make sure the knights can be replaced, and then the most important thing.”

Sihyeon clenched her fist.

“Priests. We must protect the priests.”

“All right.”

Sihyeon also told me various other little things.

‘……This?’

Seo Young-woo couldn’t help but be impressed by Si-hyeon’s thorough appearance.

‘He’s thorough. That’s why he kept getting MVP awards.’

3 consecutive MVPs.

It seemed like his fame wasn’t something he just earned.

Knowing information by utilizing the trait of a prophet was something that anyone could do if they were lucky.

But Sihyeon was different.

Going one step further.

They actively used information and knew how to minimize damage and maximize gains.

‘Yeah… … This is like the work of a professional. Have you been to a war zone?’

Seo Young-woo had also completed his military service, but Si-hyeon’s ability to plan strategies was truly admirable.

“Don’t worry too much. I’ll be at the front.”

“I have no worries at all. Our garden is strong too.”

“Then that’s good.”

Sihyeon raised the corners of her mouth.

“I’m hungry. Let’s eat.”

“Yes, brother.”

“I told you to call me hyung, not hyung.”

“Yes, brother.”

“You little stubborn kid.”

“Brother. But there’s one thing I’m curious about.”

“say.”

“I’ve heard that prophets pay a great price for information. It feels like a small price to pay for something like offering my eyes.”

“… … .”

“What did you offer, brother?”

“That’s a secret.”

Sihyeon laughed.

“You’ll find out later.”

Something was fishy though.

Seo Young-woo decided not to think deeply about it.

“Okay. Now that we’re talking, I’ll have someone bring some food over here. What’s on the menu…?”

“What are you asking?”

Shh.

“Definitely meat.”

After finishing the meal with Seo Young-woo.

Sihyeon entered the room smiling.

‘It’s strange.’

There are no words to express how I feel right now.

It was strange.

Before returning, Seo Young-woo and I lived as rivals our entire lives.

‘Even though we were rivals, Seo Young-woo was much stronger than me in the beginning and had a lot of power.’

Anyway, Seo Young-woo and I, who used to growl at each other like that, ended up getting along so well.

I felt strange.

‘I thought we’d be living in a state of anxiety, unable to catch each other even after returning. Is it because of Seo Ji-hye?’

Because I didn’t know that Seo Young-woo had an older sister.

It was a vision that Sihyeon had not thought of a way to utilize.

‘I guess I’ll have to use it for the time being.’

Although it was expressed as use.

It was a good thing for both of us.

Sihyeon was able to absorb lightning, increase Astraphe’s proficiency, and gain Seo Ji-hye’s trust by healing her.

Seo Young-woo and Seo Ji-hye were happy because they received treatment.

‘With this much information, Dongsan will know how to prepare for disaster.’

Seo Young-woo wasn’t Seo Young-woo for nothing.

Even without Sihyeon in the first place, he was a guy who would have had tremendous power.

Sihyeon could be seen as having done everything she had to do by just providing the information.

‘Gremlin.’

Originally, he should have prepared himself for the next disaster.

There was no need for that.

‘This one is enough.’

The corners of Shihyeon’s lips rose as he patted Michael’s armor and the holy glory.

Gremlins were a demon race.

The demon race takes greater damage from divine powers due to their nature.

There was no need to worry, as the Holy Glory had the power to transform all magical power into divine power.

Considering that gremlins are small demons, the title will be of great help.

In addition, the Holy Glory has a physical and magical resistance of 150.

It wasn’t something that could be pierced by a gremlin’s claws or anything.

‘Okay, now what I had to do is done.’
