EP.816 People of the Forest. (7)

***

Instead of looking for communists by looking at the secretary, you’re looking at the mana of the world tree?

In other words, that means they have a means to track the World Tree’s mana.

A mercenary who can track the World Tree’s mana… an elf hunter?

Just as Dawn squinted, gunfire poured through the window. Dawn created a wall of ice to block the window, then stepped back.

Miri, who was sitting on the bed behind her, seemed to be thinking similar thoughts, as she quickly took out her wand and said.

“Dawn, I think they’re elf hunters. I’ve barely been able to find them since the Chilean Dimension Gate was destroyed… .”

“You’ll know for sure if you grab it and squeeze it.”

Dawn immediately drew up her mana and pulled out the weapon serum. The enemy’s purpose or strength was unknown, but if they had come to capture the red star, they had clearly prepared for it.

And in the very next moment, Dawn could tell what the preparation was.

Cheeeeek – !!

The sound of gas engulfing the entire inn building.

As soon as Dawn was discovered, it must have been sprayed, as pure white gas was already rising through the crack in the closed inn door.

Was it a smoke grenade to enter the building? Or tear gas or poison gas? Whatever it was, Yeomyeong had no intention of sitting back and taking it.

He first took out a gas mask from his inventory and handed it to Miri. Immediately after Miri put on the gas mask faster than most soldiers, Yeomyeong kicked the inn wall with her foot.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of kicks caused the thick concrete wall to collapse, exposing the rebar. Yeomyeong poked her head out over the wall, creating a hole large enough for a person to crawl through.

“Is everyone okay?”

“Oh, that’s not okay!”

In the next room were Netty and Siri, both of them holding their stomachs and sobbing.

Are you already poisoned? Neti asked with a gagging expression as Dawn took out her gas mask and antidote to prevent further poisoning.

“Tongue, brother-in-law. Gas, don’t drink it. I think there was something mixed in the food I ate earlier.”

“With rice?”

So that’s why they didn’t realize it was poison? Yeomyeong frowned and fed the antidote to her sisters.

“As expected, forest people are not to be trusted… ”

Miri, who had driven away the gas with wind magic, ground her teeth. In the meantime, Yeomyeong, who had put gas masks on her sisters-in-law, lifted her foot to destroy the wall leading to the next room. I heard… .

bang!!!!

The room was first destroyed on the other side. A giant crow’s claws clacked, pushing away the concrete fragments, and dark eyes like obsidian met Dawn’s gaze.

“Disciple, are you safe?”

“Yes, Master?”

Corvus, who had transformed into a giant crow, clicked his beak to indicate that it was okay. Soon after, Lashik poked his head out from between her wings.

“Me and Dilla are safe! Hey, and the food I ate earlier didn’t taste good. There was a reason for that. They mixed poison in it, pretending it was spice.”

“… It wasn’t just tasteless. What kind of poison was it?”

“It seems like a specially made poison that can’t be detected by superhumans. It’s probably a latent poison that reacts with gas… But it’s not Asha’s style, considering it mixes with food and directly attacks the organs. I think it’s probably a poison made by South Americans…”

That was all for Lashk, who had been showing off his alchemy knowledge for a long time. At that moment, the sound of countless footsteps coming up the inn stairs could be heard.

-Surround them!

-You can kill everyone except the elves!

At least twenty people. After finishing counting the number of people, Yeomyeong met the Master’s eyes with cold eyes.

There was no need for conversation between the two. Corvus and Dawn simultaneously wove the same spell, and immediately after each touched the floor and the wall.

The entire second floor of the Hwansamdeunggul Inn was frozen.

***

-Ahhhh! My legs, my legs!!

-Don’t panic! Ice magic can heal! Anyone who can move, get up there now!!

The courage of the mercenaries climbing the stairs did not last long. As soon as they reached the second floor- BOOM!!!

Because a crow man burst out of the wall and blocked their path.

“This is the women’s domain. Men other than disciples are not allowed to enter.”

“Shoot!!!”

Beaks, claws, and ice magic poured out toward the mercenaries who reflexively raised their guns.

“I will make this recommendation only once. If you do not want to die, then all of you must lay down your weapons and surrender!”

As Corvus pushed the mercenaries down the stairs, Dawn did not follow her master.

The Master is a strong man who fought on the front lines of the American-Suin War. The fight inside the inn was enough for the Master and his party alone.

After making her decision, Dawn immediately leapt out the window.

!!!

Moonlight sparkled through the broken glass, and the rising dawn’s eyes illuminated the flames that were burning the village.

-The elf is out! Shoot!

Immediately afterwards, the mercenaries surrounding the inn aimed their guns at him. The weapons, which were closer to regular soldiers than mercenaries, such as rifles, grenade launchers, and anti-tank rockets, were aimed straight at Yeomyeong.

But, the only things being fired at him were rifles.

-Hey you little shits!! I said avoid the vital points!! We have to capture them alive!!

It was thanks to the orders of the man who was shouting behind the mercenaries.

He was a middle-aged man who looked familiar. Judging from the medals he wore on his chest, he seemed to be the commander of this mercenary unit.

All I have to do is catch that guy. Dawn lightly blocked the rifle shots with her shield and jumped down between the mercenaries.

Immediately afterwards, the three superhumans standing next to the middle-aged man reacted to him.

The man in front held a sword, the one in the middle held a large caliber pistol, and the last one held a net.

“Capture him now! I’ll have him for dinner tomorrow morning!!”

At the same time as the man’s shout, the three superhumans moved as one. A perfect, unified attack without any unnecessary elements.

Thud!!

The start was a large-caliber pistol. A large bullet that ordinary people would never imagine being able to control recoil flew towards Yeomyeong. Yeomyeong, who was watching the guy’s gun, tilted her upper body slightly to avoid the bullet, but the guys threw a net as if they had expected it.

Chomp!

Dawn swung her armed serum and cut the net.

But the net that had been split in half snapped shut like the mouth of a carnivorous plant and, slam!, caught Dawn. It was definitely a net-shaped magic tool that had been designed with the intention of being cut in mind.

The last one was a superman with a sword. He stabbed the sword at the dawn caught in the net with perfect precision.

Force evasion with a gun, tie them up with a net, and finish them off with a sword.

It was a perfect joint attack to deal with a superhuman stronger than themselves. Judging from the lack of unnecessary details in their posture, it was clear that it was a joint attack honed through actual combat.

If it weren’t for the dawn’s opponent, their combined attack today would have set a new record.

But what was in front of them was a red star. A superhuman who had withstood the heat of a nuclear weapon. He could not be captured by a net, so Dawn swung the People’s Hammer while still caught in the net.

!!!!

The sword that collided with the hammer shattered into pieces. The body of the superman with a surprised expression lost its balance, revealing its abdomen. Dawn kicked his abdomen without any mercy.

!

With the sound of a leather drum bursting, the superhuman’s body flew to the other side. He was lucky in a way because he knew what kind of attack he was being hit with. The other two didn’t have time to react.

Dawn used her telekinesis to snap the neck of the guy with the gun, and kicked the jaw of the guy who was desperately pulling out the new net.

Once per person.

After taking out the three superhumans with just three attacks, Yeomyeong approached the middle-aged man. The man who had been licking his lips at Yeomyeong just a few seconds ago blinked as if he didn’t understand the situation.

“Hey, the three Iriat people so easily? Is this really the Red Star?”

Then, could it be a fake red star? In an instant, Dawn closed the distance and grabbed the man by the neck!

“Who are you? Why did you attack us?”

Was it because he had his neck held loosely so that he could answer? Instead of answering, the man who had his neck held screamed. As miserably as a pig being dragged to the slaughterhouse.

“What, what are you guys doing!! Save me now!! Kill this guy!!!”

However, none of the mercenaries behind pulled the trigger because they would have definitely hit a middle-aged man.

Then, as Yeomyeong held a middle-aged man up as a shield and held him out to the guys, the mercenaries were helpless and just fiddled with the trigger.

“You little shit, do you know who I am? Let go of me! I said let go!!”

The middle-aged man struggled once more. Yeomyeong grabbed his neck once more and asked.

“Just answer my question.”

“This little Chino kid, I’ll kill you and feed you to pigs… Kekekeke!”

Dawn swung the weapon serum and stabbed the guy in the shoulder. When words don’t work, violence is the best form of communication.

The man who had been writhing in pain finally spoke politely.

“Please, spare my life.”

“That depends on what you say.”

“Well, what can I tell you?”

“How did you know I had the World Tree’s mana?”

“Three, there is a tracker that tracks the mana of the World Tree.”

The man took something out of his bosom, his unpierced arm trembling. It was a leaf-shaped pendant, and in the center of the leaf, made of gold, was embedded a World Tree crystal smaller than a little fingernail.

Is this a magical tool that tracks the mana of the World Tree, like a compass that tracks dragons?

Dawn snatched the pendant and asked.

“You have something like this… Are you an elf hunter?”

“Oh, no…! We, we’re just ordinary mercenaries specializing in picking herbs… .”

At that moment, a radio transmission was heard from the walkie-talkie attached to the middle-aged man’s waist.

– Colonel, the center of the village has been cleared. The Red Star Children have all surrendered, and there are no superhumans or elves in sight.

“… .”

-But these guys are too low level. None of them can shoot properly… It seems like they just wasted their poison. What about the self-proclaimed Red Star?

Dawn glared at the man called Colonel with cold eyes. The man, embarrassed, couldn’t meet her gaze and just looked around, then suddenly shouted.

“Yes, if you really are the Red Star, you’d better let go of this right now! Do you know who’s behind us?”

“What, are there any invited warriors?”

“Eh, Elan Vital! The French are behind us! If we don’t let this go right now, it’s going to be a diplomatic conflict!”

“… .”

The French army is popping out here?

‘Elf hunters and the French army… .’

Dawn thought it was a good thing. Since they had caught up to the French army sooner than expected, they could just catch them and extract information.

Dawn, making a quick decision, instead of swinging the weapon serum and cutting off the colonel’s arm, took the guy’s radio.

“To those who are listening, I, Red Star, have secured the personal escort of your commander, the Colonel.”

The confusion was palpable not only on the other side of the radio, but throughout the village. Yeomyeong continued speaking without paying attention.

“I will make this recommendation only once. If you do not want to die, you all must lay down your weapons and surrender.”

I applied the Master’s warning, but perhaps it was because the Red Star Children were too easily subdued? The effect was not great.

-If you don’t want to die, surrender.

A harsh reply came from the other end of the radio. The colonel, who was caught by Dawn, shouted that he could persuade her, but Dawn grabbed him and soared into the sky again.

What a dog that bites a person needs is not conversation, but violence.

“Ugh! Sa, save me!”

The moment the captured colonel started struggling, the mercenaries who saw him aimed their guns at Yeomyeong.

Dawn raised her empty hands and ‘aimed’ at every mercenary that came into sight.

The spatial perception and rippling mana that spread along Jugashvili’s aura, and the spells that followed Jugashvili’s mana were amplified and covered the entire village.

-What the hell, full force!

-The colonel is under arrest!

-Shut up! I’ll take responsibility! Shoot me now!!

The mercenary who noticed what Yeomyeong was going to do shouted, but it was already too late. Yeomyeong just- clenched her fist.

The next moment, the bodies of nearly a hundred mercenaries rose upward.

Cough, ugh-!

The mercenaries, who had their throats grabbed by an invisible force, struggled and grabbed their own throats, even throwing away their weapons.

However, anatomically, if the carotid artery in the neck is compressed, a person would faint within a few seconds at the shortest and within tens of seconds at the longest.

Dawn proved this fact himself. In less than 30 seconds after he clenched his fist, all the mercenaries who had taken over the village were knocked unconscious.

“This, this is crazy… .”

The colonel, who was being held captive by the dawn, looked down at the sight and was horrified. It was an unbelievable sight. The mercenaries who had received professional training were being swept away like insects by just one person.

Whether he was trembling or not, Dawn scanned the quiet village.

One, two, three, four, five… I felt at least a countable number of superhumans running away with their telekinesis cut off.

The judgment and skill to cut off telekinesis, and the speed to escape from senses. To this extent, he was of a higher level than most Korean soldiers.

‘Not just any elf hunter.’

The two letters Chile appeared in his head. No way… Dawn gathered his mana in ominous certainty.

He planned to freeze the village and then capture the mercenaries and forest dwellers. And just before his order was almost completed.

One of the hidden mercenary superhumans jumped out from between the buildings. He had no spell prepared or gun, but was holding a small, unidentifiable signal.

Before I could even determine what the signal was, Dawn’s senses sent out a warning signal upon seeing the guy.

‘The dimension is getting… thinner?’

The moment when Dawn instinctively raised her head.

Choaaaak – ! The night sky above the village split apart.

***

Miri saw the arms of the mercenaries who surrendered on the first floor being tied up.

Outside the window, a dimensional gate appears, splitting the night sky.

It was smaller than the Chicago portal, larger than the Gaeseong portal, and unlike regular portals, it faced the ground, and above all… it was unstable.

The entire dimensional portal that had opened was shaking and rippling, and even to a non-dimensional portal expert, it looked like it would collapse in a few minutes.

Who the hell creates these dimensional gates?

The question didn’t last long, because unidentified wizards emerged from beyond the dimensional gate.

Wizards wearing military uniforms and their faces covered with black masks.

But there was no unit mark or even camouflage pattern to be found on their uniforms. I was convinced that they were a special force, aka Black Ops, operating unofficially to avoid diplomatic issues.

But which country’s black ops?

While Miri narrowed her eyes, the wizards who had been looking down at the village for a moment simultaneously took the same stance. They held their empty hands tightly as if they were holding swords.

Miri, who saw that, pricked up her ears without realizing it. Her elf instinct was telling her. This was dangerous.

And Miri wasn’t the only one who felt that instinct.

“Defensive spell! It doesn’t matter if it’s a shield spell or a wind wall! Cast the spell as large as you can!!”

The very next moment, after Corvus shouted like that, he created a wall of ice.

Hwarururuk!! Flames burst out from the hands of the Black Ops. Long flames, like swords made of flames. It was a magic that Soemiri knew all too well.

The flame that represents France…

“…Precieuse?”
