Rachel let out a giggling laugh.
In the meantime, Choi Yu Seong picked up two spears with both hands at the same time.
Then he threw one straight toward the Barrier and ran head-on.
“This crafty gold nugget!”
Rachel threw the hatchet once again toward the thrown spear and blocked Choi Yu Seong’s attack with her index finger.
Clang-! Choi Yu Seong’s spear bounces high into the air with the sound of iron rings.
Choi Yu Seong felt the sensation of his stomach shaking again due to the shock from the counterattack.
However, Choi Yu Seong’s spear did not stop.
He tried to hit Rachel’s head using the spear while winding it straight inside from the lifting direction.
Of course, it was a trick that didn’t work at all.
Rachel recovered the hatchet with her left hand and struck Choi Yu Seong’s spear with her index finger once more.
“Kueeek-!”
It was at the same time that Choi Yu Seong spilled blood.
Even though the Pharaoh’s Caprice has turned into a battle suit and reduced the shock, it’s this bad.
‘If I had received it with only my body, I would have already died. Damn!’
Choi Yu Seong, who cursed inwardly, picked up the spear and threw it at the Gate of Life once again even in a blurry vision.
At the same time, he stretched his right foot toward Rachel and tried to hit her chin.
“Still crossing the line? You should get punished. Our gold nugget.”
Rachel smiled and lightly flicked the tip of Choi Yu Seong’s toe with her index finger.
Crakakack-!
Choi Yu Seong’s heel was tattered and twisted with the sound of bones breaking.
His eyes became very wide.
Rolling on the floor in the pain that heated the brain, Choi Yu Seong’s scream rang loudly.
“Keaaargh-!”
“Don’t worry, gold nugget. Humans don’t die because they can’t use their limbs.”
Rachel said as she retrieved the hatchet that was stuck on the floor again.
“But if you lie down like that, I want to throw this again because I’m bored. Ah, for reference, you won’t die easily even if your limbs get cut.”
“..uck. It’s like shit!”
Choi Yu Seong swore and raised himself.
He had to stand on one leg due to the bent ankle and was in an awkward posture, but he couldn’t lie down.
His red bloodshot eyes glared at the happily smiling Rachel as if he would tear her to death.
“Cool.”
The moment Rachel exclaimed.
Spark spewed out from Choi Yu Seong’s whole body.
“Huh? You still have a hidden ability.”
Choi Yu Seong used Wind Stance after that and rushed toward Rachel.
Because he rushed on one leg, he didn’t get a proper speed.
“Uwaaah-!”
Rachel’s index finger stabbed into the shoulder of Choi Yu Seong, who reached to hit Rachel with a scream.
Then, a hot and sharp touch stirred his shoulder indiscriminately.
“Keaargh..”
While struggling with pain, that sensation was pulled out and disappeared.
In the bloodshot eyes of Choi Yu Seong, Rachel’s face was seen licking her index finger soaked in dark red blood.
“Hmm.. Sweet.”
“Ha..”
Choi Yu Seong clicked his tongue.
She received Choi Yu Seong’s Spark head-on as if she didn’t feel anything.
‘I expected it, but..’
It was an extremely huge gap.
The idea of fighting and winning against such a monster is also absurd.
It was something impossible in the first place.
Rachel tilted her head as she saw Choi Yu Seong, who knelt and bowed his head deeply as if drooping on the floor.
“Giving up here?”
“No way.”
Choi Yu Seong raised his head and laughed.
And he lifted a spear on the floor with his still intact right hand and used Spark again.
Then, he threw the spear toward the Gate of Life once more and gave strength to his kneeling knees.
‘I never expected I’m going to actually do this.’
Doing a stance reminiscent of a powerful attack that gains momentum by bending the knees seen in a certain comic on Earth, Choi Yu Seong’s head brushed past Rachel’s chin.
Rachel’s eyes full of madness showed off her deep murderous intent as she saw Choi Yu Seong.
‘His eyes are alive even in the midst of this. Cute gold nugget.’
Suddenly, she felt very regretful.
“Aah, I should’ve killed you right away if it’s not for the money.”
Rachel threw the ax once again with her left hand toward the flying spear and felt her heart beating.
‘How long has it been since I’ve been this excited? Money or whatever, I just..’
Wanna kill him right away and check his brain.
How can he still have that gaze after being beaten that much?
Generally, people might feel quite scared or desperate at this point.
‘It’s so amazing!’
The moment Rachel unknowingly aimed the tip of her finger at the center of Choi Yu Seong’s forehead.
Crakakack-!
There was a loud sound that everyone could hear.
“Huh?”
First of all, Rachel’s gaze turned in the direction of the sound.
Choi Yu Seong, who soared high with his head stretched in a rather ugly position, also turned his head.
The hatchet, which flew cutting Choi Yu Seong’s spear half and strongly stuck to the ground, was causing a lot of cracks like lightning.
It’s collapsing.
Rachel’s mind, which was filled with curiosity about the recklessly rushing Choi Yu Seong, flashed as soon as that thought came to mind.
“You.. No way. From the beginning?”
Rachel looked at Choi Yu Seong with surprised eyes.
The first thing that came to her mind was when he scattered a large number of spears at a level that seemed useless after purchasing them.
Spear throw attacks, which have little meaning, were following after that.
Every time, Rachel herself threw the hatchet to keep the Barrier Scroll.
‘Since I’ll lose If I go out of the circle.’
She didn’t mean to keep it, but she was adjusting to the flow to enjoy it.
But now, it seems her position was the opposite.
‘I wasn’t playing, but just moving according to the will of this crafty gold nugget guy.’
The thick concrete floor cannot be broken with Choi Yu Seong’s ability.
But for Rachel, it was easier than a piece of cake.
It was a very simple and ridiculous matter that an indifferent and lightly thrown hatchet broke the ground.
That’s why she didn’t care at all.
The carelessness created this situation.
Rachel’s surprised gaze turned toward Choi Yu Seong, who was already smiling.
Choi Yu Seong thought from the moment he first talked to her.
The Barrier cannot be broken from the outside unless by the same Barrier Master.
But outside, there must have been people waiting to help Choi Yu Seong.
For example Jin Do Yun, Jin Yu Ri who may have been contacted, people who follow her, or countless people who will flock after hearing the fuss.
Therefore, Choi Yu Seong’s goal was not to win the game against Rachel.
Choi Yu Seong’s goal did not change even a bit from the first moment Ghost appeared.
‘Break the Barrier and open the Gate of Life.”
It was close to gambling actually.
If the arrogant but clever Rachel had noticed Choi Yu Seong’s intention in the middle, all plans would have been in vain.
However, Choi Yu Seong’s plan was successful as a result.
What else do I need to say?
“I was lucky.”
Or as always, Rachel’s gambling luck was bad.
At the end of those words. Kwakwakwang-! A loud thunder sound rang out then the floor began to collapse and pour down.
Then, a distortion phenomenon that seems to sway the space occurred briefly and the Barrier began to break.
At the same time, a roar like glass breaking was heard.
Starting with the area where the Barrier Spell was drawn, the rooftop collapsed. But in front of Rachel’s toes, it stayed still as if scared and could not move on any further.
At the chaotic and destructive scene, Rachel went crazy.
“Ahaha, hahahaha-!”
There was no more reason left in her eyes.
“It’s fun! Choi Yu Seong, I’m having so much fun!”
Rachel lifted the collar of Choi Yu Seong, who was on the verge of falling due to standing right in front of her, and looked straight into his black eyes with a mad gaze.
“Wanna live, right? So, you really want to live?”
Should he say it.
He only thought about that even when he felt like he was going to fall off the collapsing rooftop.
Rachel’s cheeks reddened when she saw Choi Yu Seong’s eyes.
The mad eyes scatter as if they had witnessed the most beautiful artwork in the world.
‘Like it, like it, like it, I like it so much. They’re such gorgeous eyes that I want to dig them whole and use them as a decoration at home.’
I can’t.
Rachel could no longer stand her raging instinct.
“But what to do? I want to kill you so much. Of course simply, I won’t kill you. I’m already looking forward to the moment when you ask me to kill you, you know? Before that, how much fun you’ll make me! How much fun will it be? Kyakyakya!”
It was at that moment that a silver flash flashed over the right wrist of Rachel, who burst into laughter from madness.
Slash-!
It got cut off.
The monstrous and untouchable Rachel from Choi Yu Seong’s point of view got her wrist cut in vain.
Because of that, Choi Yu Seong thought he would fall like a broken kite again.
That would have happened without the hand holding him in the back of his neck, dangling not much different than Rachel.
In the blurry vision that seemed to be far away, Choi Yu Seong struggled to turn his head to the side and looked at the person who held him like a mother cat lifting her baby.
“This foolish guy. What kind of rag is this?”
The other spoke quite bluntly and had a rather odd appearance.
‘Rabbit mask?’
It is not the expected support like Jin Do Yun or Jin Yu Ri.
However, he definitely saw the word ‘rabbit mask’ in the original novel.
The problem was that he didn’t remember clearly.
It was difficult to even maintain consciousness to be precise.
The Rabbit Mask, a figure also known with the code name Myo belonging to the Martial Guard Corps, Choi Mi Na faced Rachel, who was looking at her with a gaze full of anger that contradicted with the bizarre wide smile.
Regardless of the heart-fluttering expression likely to be seen in any horror movie, Choi Mi Na didn’t care much while lightly stretching her stiff neck and said.
“Still, you did well. It’s weird to say this is a gift and I don’t really like you, but don’t worry. From now on, this?noonim?will protect you.”
Was there ever a time when the word ‘noonim’ and the sound of bones rubbing and cracking were so reliable?
‘Please.. I leave it to you.’
Choi Yu Seong, who thought he felt quite at ease for some reason, replied with his eyes and then went unconscious.
Clearly, it was the limit.
