73 – Discipline 24. The Leading Manager Follows Through to the End (10)

“Pfft… !”

As the heavy impact hit the cockpit, Chaeyeon screamed her last word.

However, her pouring space lightning could not pierce the chimera’s outer shell. She only did damage

Not only was it hard, but it was also because as soon as Chaeyeon noticed Woojin’s intrusion, she mounted a large lightning rod on her chimera.

But.

‘The lightning rod… !’

The lightning rod did its job of attracting space lightning towards me, but it was not enough to handle the electrical energy boasting an overwhelming high-voltage current.

In the end, it only succeeded in sending a portion of the massive lightning strike to the grounding wire, but it eventually exploded due to overload. It was fortunate for Chaeyeon that the damage was reduced thanks to that.

The residual electricity spread in all directions and engulfed the mechanical soldiers. Just like a shrimp’s back explodes in a whale fight.

Chimera is a weapon for later.

Using a chimera to defeat Woojin was like having a bigger belly button than a stomach, so I never considered modifying it to be used as a Great Leader.

In addition, the magical power that made up the chimera was very heavy, and it required a significant amount of magical energy to handle it.

Therefore, forming an insulator to immediately cover the chimera in response to Ujin’s invasion was difficult both in terms of time and in terms of magical power consumption.

It was best to respond with a grounded design.

However, this ultimately led to Chaeyeon’s regret.

‘I said I would never let my guard down again… ‘ !’

This is my first time receiving Woojin’s spatial lightning strike.

I didn’t know that such a powerful attack would come, so I wasn’t prepared, and because of that, I ended up facing the current result.

Woojin was caught off guard again.

The leader of Asung High School was an opponent whom no matter how cautious he was, he could not be enough.

Beep!

Beep!

“!”

A red warning message appeared on the screen in front of me, reporting the Chimera’s damaged state. It was a system introduced by Chaeyeon.

Thanks to the lightning rod, the space lightning was withstood, but the chimera was not in perfect condition.

Even the most powerful people can’t even make a scratch on the chimera’s body.

Chaeyeon felt that something was wrong with her.

And.

Boom!

An impact sound right in front of you.

It sounded like someone had landed.

Chaeyeon, who instinctively sensed something ominous, immediately changed her perspective. Then the screen in front of her showed the front.

In front of the chimera’s head, at close range.

A man was straddling the chimera’s mouth, holding on to a protruding mechanical part, and looking down at Chaeyeon in the cockpit.

It was Ahn Woo-jin, leader of Asong High School.

“It’s been a while.”

“… Ahn Woo-jin.”

Chaeyeon’s voice came out of the chimera’s speakers.

The miscellaneous mechanical soldiers around were all broken and charred by the lightning strike just moments ago, and smoke was rising.

All that remains is the chimera.

Chaeyeon assessed her own strength and spoke out.

“You… “You didn’t have full power back then?”

‘At that time’ meant the time when the two first met and fought.

A faint smile appeared in Chaeyeon’s voice

There was a tremor in that laughter. The tone also became higher. Because it was absurd.

Even back then, I thought Woojin was surprisingly good at fighting.

It was only now that Chaeyeon realized that she had not even revealed her full potential. I was too complicated.

“Think about it yourself.”

Woojin pulled out a single baton from his belt.

“On-site arrests are carried out and offenders are severely punished.”

Less evil!

When I swung the single bar to the side, the iron bar that had been pushed inside popped out.

A three-tiered pole of the highest hardness made of the skin of an iron-clad dragon, the demonic beast of the outside world.

It was Cheolryonggon.

“We will suppress it.”

“Ha, fun… !”

Chaeyeon smiled provocatively and used her magic.

‘No matter how strong that guy is, he can’t destroy the chimera.’

To destroy the Chimera, you must bring in a strong person of at least the 7th rank or higher. Like Seo Kang-jin of Spartoi or Goliath of the Six Sinners.

Deciding so, Chaeyeon took her time again.

“You may have forgotten, but those guys outside are still within my attack range. Are you going to let them die?”

“No problem.”

Woojin’s eyes were full of confidence.

“I guess we weren’t even prepared.”

“… ?”

Some of the screens in the Chimera cockpit were still transmitting the situation on the ground.

The snake’s tails stopped functioning for a moment due to the spatial lightning strike a while ago, but they started moving again and tried to store energy in their mouths.

But.

Quagga River!!

“!”

Cruise missiles flew from somewhere and hit each snake’s tail accurately.

There was an explosion, the snake’s head spun around, and the energy that had been condensed in its mouth was dispersed.

The TV attached to the mechanical snake’s body screamed, showing a grotesque expression of disgust.

Grenadier unit of Asong High School leader.

They received instructions from Woojin in advance.

When the mechanical snakes pop out of the ground and are about to launch a second attack, open fire.

‘Cruise missile!? How… ?’

I couldn’t believe it.

Isn’t this perfect timing?

Aseong High School’s leadership equipment could not be operated in the jurisdiction of Mahyeon High School. The surrounding circumstances Aseong High School’s leadership being involved could have been easily detected from a security drone.

In other words, the bombardment must have been fired from a distance that could not even be seen with an ordinary telescope.

Chaeyeon’s unique abilities spread out like a sea in the area.

It is impossible for the Asung High School detachment on the ground to provide information by sending audio or video to the grenadier unit.

Moreover, the chimera was not large enough to be seen outside the jurisdiction of Mahyeon High School.

How?

‘… Don’t think about it. There must be someone in the leadership team capable of that.’

In fact, Accountant Yoo Do-ha only carried out Ujin’s orders using his unique ability, Laplace’s Demon. Chaeyeon couldn’t know the specifics of that fact.

So, she decided to stop thinking about her and focus on Woojin in front of her.

“Okay, okay… ” , It’s really, really pretty. Are you prepared? But you, why are you doing this? I’m sure it’s going to be difficult, right? Are you really doing this to find the five hundred books?”

“…”

Woojin did not answer.

As expected.

If she hadn’t known that Chae-yeon was the one who secured Baek-seo Oh, she wouldn’t have taken such a bold step.

“Did you understand that the wrong kids came here so recklessly without the full force of the leader? “I don’t know how she knew I had the white paper, but I guess we’ll find out later.”

The chimera’s beast-like face heated up.

It was a change that happened in an instant.

“Take him with you.”

Yikes!

Slam!

The chimera’s head opened, and a large emitter protruded from it.

Several main guns and emitters even protruded in various directions around the head.

Woojin narrowed his eyes at her.

“If only I could!”

Chimera.

A monster mentioned in Homer’s epic, Shanhai Jing, and Theogony.

Its known appearance is that it has the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a snake.

Chimeras are vicious beasts that bring disaster.

Spits out violent flames.

Kwaaa!!

Frequently!!!!

Blue flames poured down toward Woojin.

The function of the chimera modified by Chaeyeon.

Flame emission.

Firearms extending in each direction poured out ferocious flames and ultra-high temperature magical shells like a waterfall. It was a large-scale attack.

However, no matter how wide-area the attack was, it was difficult to gain an advantage over Ujin in terms of ‘space’.

Damn it!

Inherent ability to dominate space.

Magic formula type 1, space leap.

Woojin quickly created a crack and leaped through space.

“As expected, you’re moving around in space as you please, Director Seondo!?”

Chaeyeon burst out laughing.

The amount of flames fired by the Chimera was enough to fill half of the vast basement.

Flames of over 1,500 degrees Celsius engulfed everywhere. Even structures made of steel began to melt in the flames.

“How much use do you think that ability will have here!? Ah!?”

Chaeyeon shouted arrogantly.

I already expected from the beginning that even if I showered this much fireworks, I wouldn’t be able to hit Woojin.

Unless you’re an idiot, you can easily predict that Woojin will leap through space.

In other words, Chaeyeon’s goal is to make the battle stage hell.

Grumbling!!

Fire surrounds everywhere.

No matter how large the facility is, it is always underground.

As a large amount of hot flame poured out in a confined space, oxygen began to deplete rapidly.

The toxic gas rapidly expanded, and the surrounding area, including the ground, walls, and ceiling, was heated to high temperatures.

Moreover, the temperature of the flame reaches the melting point of steel.

Even if you don’t come into contact with the flame, you can of course suffer third-degree or higher burns all over your body just by being near it for a moment.

It would have a significant negative impact on the respiratory system and eyes, and the body’s temperature regulation function could also be destroyed, leading to death.

In order to minimize the damage, I would have to pour in my magic to strengthen my body, but I would not be able to withstand this extreme environment forever.

Moreover, for some reason, Woojin guesses that Oh Baekseo is here.

‘Even though his facial expression is reasonable, I can see that he is anxious to find the Five Books!? No matter how much you move around, you have no choice but to fight here. If you want to kill me as quickly as possible and take Five Baekseo away… !’

The option of escaping by leaping through space to the ground, leaving Chaeyeon behind, would not be a good choice.

Woojin must have fully anticipated that things will become more disadvantageous for him as time passes.

That was Chaeyeon’s aim.

If the enemy is someone who moves through space at will.

All he had to do was limit the space he could move around and change it to an extremely evil environment. Chae-yeon was taking advantage of Woo-jin’s urgent need to find Oh Baek-seo.

Of course, there was also the option of taking Oh Baek-seo hostage, but for some reason, Chae-yeon didn’t want to be that cowardly. She didn’t even know why she was like that.

Grrrr!!

The entire underground facility lit up with blue flames. Because of the fire, Chaeyeon was unable to check where Woojin was.

There was no counterattack. The only sound of burning flames was deafening.

‘Did you go to observe the situation for a moment? Are you planning a plan? Foot, it’s no use… !’

At that time.

Damn it!

Suddenly, the air split wide open.

Some of the large amount of flames that the Chimera was shooting out poured into the crack.

Immediately after, a crack appeared behind the chimera and the flames were released.

Grumbling!!!

The flames radiating beyond the crack attacked the Chimera through the crack that formed behind the Chimera.

Inherent ability to dominate space.

Magic formula type 3, inversion space.

But.

“Phew! There’s no use in doing that!? It looks like they’re planning to steam it to death, but the temperature here is controlled thanks to the cooling system!? Besides, in order to melt my chimera, I wonder if I should be able to at least melt the titanium… !”

It was a time when Chaeyeon shouted as if it was funny.

“Huh?”

In the flames pouring through the crack from behind.

Woojin jumped out through the flames, crossing her arms and covering her face.

Chaeyeon’s eyes were wide open.

The chimera’s head, which was emitting flames, turned backwards. Chaeyeon was surprised and reflexively tried to target Woojin.

Woojin’s clothes and body were scorched by flames.

A terrible pain must have struck him.

The damage was minimal thanks to strengthening the body with magical power and quickly escaping the flames, but even that would have been fatal to a person.

Chaeyeon hurriedly tried to respond to Woojin, but she was already too close to attack with her chimera function.

He tried to reach the chimera’s head first, before its head, which was emitting flames, turned to Ujin.

‘That crazy b*stard… ! Are you crazy!? You could die, but jump into this fire!?’

Chaeyeon felt strange.

From noble mtl dot come

Even though he could die, Woojin jumped into the flames emitted by the chimera as a trick.

Meanwhile, Woojin had thought about it in advance.

Chaeyeon’s hideout located in the basement.

Chimera’s abilities seen in the original work.

Spatial abilities discovered by Chaeyeon.

Taking all of that into consideration, it was one of the cases where Woojin had already expected that Chaeyeon would turn the battlefield into a space of death in order to counter her spatial abilities.

All you needed was determination.

Woe! Cheolryonggon stretched out through the flames.

Woojin raised his magic power.

It’s so bad!!

A blueish-green electric shock rose up fiercely on the Iron Dragon’s armor.

Like a flash of lightning, like an arrow, Woojin stretched out powerfully in a straight line.

With his other hand, Woojin took out a wall axle and collided with Cheolryonggon, causing a lightning explosion. All of that was controlled by Woojin and followed Cheolryonggon.

Even the lightning magical energy that had been stored up was taken out just for this moment.

It is impossible to break the chimera’s outer shell with Woojin’s power.

However, in order to create an advantageous battlefield, Chaeyeon opened the chimera’s head and took out a flamethrower.

All Woojin had to do was aim for the open part.

Then you will be able to destroy the chimera.

It was an opportunity that would never come again, and if it wasn’t for this time, victory would have been lost.

So never.

Woojin had no intention of wasting this opportunity.

Within Asung High School, Ahn Woo-jin was treated as a top tier powerhouse even when he was in the 4th tier.

Wasn’t even the leader of Mahyeon High School, a top 5th tier player looking at the 6th tier, on par with Woojin in terms of physical strength?

This was also the case when competing to the extent that the body was strengthened with magical power.

The man who was so strong is now ranked 6th.

There was no way Chaeyeon could have predicted how explosive the blow he would swing with all his might his his his he would be.

Pot!

Finally, Woojin reached the chimera’s head.

“Come out.”

Reciting in a bloody tone.

I swung the iron dragon with all the power of my whole body.

Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga river!!!

A fierce attack struck.

At a speed that the eye could not trace, the Cheolryonggon swirled around, splitting the heated air and flames.

Overwhelming shock waves repeatedly struck the Chimera, and even the fierce flames and powerful lightning magic collided, causing an overload.

Finished.

Kwahiah ah!!!!

A powerful explosion of dense magical power occurred.

Even if it was a chimera, there was no way it could be safe from the impact that poured into the open area.

The chimera’s body shattered and scattered in all directions. Chaeyeon flew out of the cockpit and landed against the wall. The impact of the explosion caused significant damage to her internal organs and bones.

Woojin was also caught in the explosion, but he immediately escaped the scene by leaping in space. However, he had already fully experienced the shock of being hit by the explosion.

The afterglow of the explosion left a thick layer of dust. Cracks appeared in the floor, which had not yet become hot due to the flames not reaching it. Woojin came out of the crack and rolled around on the floor.

“Whoa… !”

Woojin touched the floor and held his ribs, panting.

When he looked down, his arms were tanned. The heat still lingered in the body and seemed to burn the skin and internal organs.

I could tell that my body was in disarray after that brief collision.

“Ha… , Ha…”

Woojin raised his upper body, conscious of his rough breathing. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the dust.

Moon Chae-yeon has not collapsed yet.

In that case, she shouldn’t have fallen.

At that time, wow. Someone was held in Woojin’s arms.

“Is it okay?”

A light-haired girl wearing Aseong High School uniform.

It was a golden sheep.

If he had suffered terrible pain due to the penalty of his unique ability, Woojin would not have been able to endure any longer. Woojin felt grateful that Geumyang appeared at this time.

“… It’s okay.”

Woojin calmed his breathing and answered while embracing the head of the golden sheep.

“Let’s win and go back.”

“Yes.”

When she blinked, Geumyang had disappeared into her own labyrinth.

Woojin slowly stood up. Her dust was slowly fading away.

A blurry image in the field of vision.

Chaeyeon’s appearance was slowly appearing.

In Chaeyeon’s eyes, the protectors that covered her eyes and the mechanical armor that covered her entire body her were partially destroyed. She held her face with one of her hands and gasped for breath.

Her condition was a mess because she was directly caught in the blow that Ujin swung with all her might in the Chimera’s cockpit. A deep crater remained where she hit her wall.

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, Chaeyeon burst out laughing.

“Ah… , I feel so stupid…”

Slurp.

Chaeyeon used her unique ability to form her mechanical spear and hold it in her right hand.

It was her weapon that she took out on the first day she fought with Woojin.

“What should I do… ” , Living a life like this…”

Chaeyeon struggled to keep her balance and stood up on her two legs.

“What is this?” , Fuck… Hehe…”

Chaeyeon was flirting.

However, her laugh was close to self-deprecation.

She feels sorry for herself and seems to be laughing at herself.

“Hey, leader, leader.”

Chaeyeon glared at Woojin with her face covered in blood and pointed behind her.

“If you go behind me, there are five hundred books? It won’t be long before I die. I’m trying to get my unique abilities, but that ultimately leads to my death, right? If we stop it, your deputy leader will live and your unique ability will be safe.”

The blood in her mouth she saw into her gurgling her voice her her. Every time she spoke, blood flowed from the corner of Chaeyeon’s mouth.

Chaeyeon’s pupils shook her violently. It was because he was holding on to her consciousness with all his might.

“Unique abilities… ?”

Woojin could not hide his surprise at the unexpected story.

Chaeyeon waved her hand playfully.

“You must have been surprised, you must have been surprised~. Because it defies common sense. Well, it’s troublesome to explain… And you think I won’t get out of the way until I die?”

Chaeyeon barely got into a fighting stance, holding her mechanical spear with both hands.

“So.”

Chaeyeon smiled brightly and cheerfully.

“Do you think you should kill me and leave?”

“…”

Woojin held the Cheolryonggon tightly again without answering.

The two looked into each other’s eyes for a moment, then raised their remaining magical power and kicked the ground.
