Chapter 750: To The End (9)

‘Ah, sh*t… My head hurts so much, really.’

I had already expected that it wouldn’t be easy, but I had to admit that the difficulty was greater than I thought.

‘Wow. Sh*t…’

I really couldn’t afford to care about other things. In a situation where I could say that all I could do was follow Kim Hyunsung’s movements, even Park Deokgu talking next to me felt annoying.

“Was that Hyunsung just now?”

‘Didn’t you just see him? Fuck. It was Kim Hyunsung.’

“When did he get here… I’m telling you that I can’t see the limit! Didn’t I say this before? When the two of you are together, you’re invincible.”

‘I mean, I understand, so be quiet a bit.’

“Whew…”

“Gosh! Be quiet!”

“Ah… Okay…”

-What?

“It’s nothing.”

Even when my time was taken by the pig bastard for a moment, the battlefield didn’t stop constantly changing.

‘Fuck, I thought it would work.’

Not only did I get Elune’s telescope, but there was also an increase in my intellectual stats.

However, it seemed that I had been conceited. Wasn’t it ridiculous to miss Kim Hyunsung while driving Raphael?

It was me, not Kim Hyunsung, who wasn’t prepared. The car that had some upgrades wasn’t enough for a pilot named Lee Kiyoung to handle.

Of course, I had an excuse.

There was more space to cover.

Kim Hyunsung, who had large black wings, was no longer limited by space.

It meant that the dirt floor wasn’t the only place Kim Hyunsung could use as a battlefield. The entire vast sky was no different than Kim Hyunsung’s territory.

In other words, I had to cover the front and back of the guy as well as the top and bottom.

The attack could fall from the top, or an arrow could come up from the bottom, so I felt that I lacked sight.

‘Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Right, fuck. That’s an excuse. That’s just an excuse.’

The reason why I wasn’t able to use his 100% potential was my own incompetence.

I could bet that Kim Hyunsung could move faster and neutralize enemies more efficiently.

Up until now, I thought I was pulling everything out of him, but at that moment, I knew that wasn’t the case.

-Are you okay?

‘Are you okay…?’

He could afford to talk. He even had the time to leisurely worry about others? Did he have enough time to see what’s going on with me?

It took only a few seconds for him to pause, but he couldn’t be unaware of the consequences of those seconds and how important those seconds were.

Wasn’t it obvious? I could bet that he must’ve thought he could fill the delay with his personal abilities.

Not surprisingly, while Kim Hyunsung was speeding up more and more, it seemed like he was saying that he could still afford to do more. He was even showing an uncomfortable face.

‘It’s really annoying. Really. Are you not satisfied? Is this not enough?’

He seemed to want to say that he could move faster.

‘Is this all you have?’

He seemed to be thinking like that. I wanted to increase the pace a little bit faster, but even that wasn’t easy.

It made no sense to use this tactic unless I could get 100% efficiency out of our regressor.

Wasn’t it funny? It was the control tower that limited the movement of the troops and couldn’t utilize their maximum potential.

The possibility was low, but if I were Kim Hyunsung, I might have planned to abandon Lee Kiyoung.

‘Oh, Kiyoung is useless now, too. How about finding someone else?’

Of course, I knew that Kim Hyunsung wouldn’t say that, but I started to get annoyed.

‘Is this not enough? Even like this?’

I immediately tapped on the Goddess’s Mirror. I knew that was my limit, but it didn’t stop me from trying.

I continuously transmitted coordinates and gave quests to Kim Hyunsung, who had reached the next forward base.

I also didn’t forget to capture the battlefield in my eyes. I looked at the Goddess’s Hand Mirror in front of me, which was more comfortable to see.

As I turned a bit, I noticed the people setting up the control room at high speed.

It was then that I realized that I had come down from Park Deokgu’s shield and sat in a chair, but nothing changed. The things I had to do were already decided, after all.

‘Right. Fuck. Was the environment too bad before? It was, right? The field of view was too narrow, and it was a temporary control room. Wait. Fuck. Wait. I’ll do well this time.’

Once again, I captured the screen in my eyes. A multi-angle view that was similar to fly-like eyes entered my head at once.

Of course, it wasn’t easy to process the enormous amount of information that came in instantly.

Kim Hyunsung was constantly moving while I was running the program in my head.

In the end, I had no choice but to give a vague quest.

After sending Kim Hyunsung some coordinates, I tailored the situation around him for his benefit. It might’ve been dangerous, like walking on a tightrope, but I should do it like that for the moment.

-Kiyoung?

‘I’m sending it. Fuck, wait.’

Who was at forward base 21? Who was nearest to us? Park Yeon-joo? Was it Park Yeon-joo?

With my one hand, I tapped the mirror, and with the telescope, I looked for the Black Swan’s Guild Master.

As expected, I saw her having a fierce battle with the pigeons.

As in Park Deokgu’s prank case, the way she continued to shoot black armaments was certainly not lacking. She was one of the State’s eight seats, after all.

“Park Yeon-joo. Hyunsung is going there. As soon as he joins in, move with him to the points I have sent.”

-Huh?

There was no time to express questions. Kim Hyunsung passing by right away would’ve already reflected in her sight.

Park Yeon-joo immediately responded, and I realized I was using the Guild Master of one of the three major guilds of Lindel too easily.

It was so organic that it was difficult to express how they connected, swinging their swords and continuing to move.

Sometimes they scattered and stuck together, and they fought with their backs left to the other.

While Kim Hyunsung moved forward, Park Yeon-joo followed Kim Hyunsung and threw black daggers.

A space that was unlikely to open began to open.

‘Ah, fuck. I forgot the physical strength recovery.’

Recasting the recovery spell and buff right away was ideal, but the situation had already been missed, and there was no way to do it anymore. I should’ve asked for wizardry reinforcement for the two.

While Kim Hyunsung and Park Yeon-joo stopped moving for a moment, an enormous magic spell fell, but they didn’t get caught up in the scope of the explosion.

The wind magic cast in advance pushed them into the right place.

-Clear.

-Blue Guild Master…

-Long time no see, Black Swan Guild… Clear… Master.

-Yeah. Seeing you standing up like this…

-Clear.

For a moment, the two gained momentum.

While spinning around in the air, Park Yeon-joo used all kinds of splendid techniques and threw daggers in all directions, while Kim Hyunsung continued to swing his sword through the space opened up by Park Yeon-joo.

-Hyunsung, up!

Park Yeon-joo alerted him when she saw an enemy pigeon dropping light from the sky, but Kim Hyunsung wasn’t shaken.

The nearby magic corps had already completed the protection magic spell by then. Even…

Whooooooooooosh!

Dragonic Breath shot from a distance swept away the enemy floating in the air with that sound. Park Yeon-joo’s mission ended there.

‘Wasn’t that cool, Hyunsung? It was cool, right?’

-Please be safe, Blue Guild Master.

-Clear.

I could see Kim Hyunsung straightening his wings and heading into the air.

When I calculated the positions of the arrows flying in from all directions and sent the coordinates, Kim Hyunsung flew in a circle in the air.

‘Wasn’t it cool? Really? It was no joke, right?’

I hoped he thought so since it was something that I elaborated on in my own way.

‘You can move faster.’

He would be able to move faster, right?

Whoooooooooooooosh!

When I heard that sound, the dragon’s Breath filled the sky. In the meantime, Kim Hyunsung continued to move.

As if he knew when the Breath would pour out, Kim Hyunsung was moving one step ahead of the other pigeons in the air. By a hair’s breadth, all the Breaths missed Kim Hyunsung. No, it looked like the tip of his wing was slightly burned… There must’ve been a very slight error.

Well, that was a level that could be taken into account. It would be okay. It didn’t seem like Kim Hyunsung also noticed, considering there was no change in Kim Hyunsung’s expression while keeping moving fast.

Right. Fuck, his face remained unchanged.

‘Is it not enough yet? Still?’

I couldn’t tell how far to go about it, and I honestly just wanted to give up on the tactic Kim Hyunsung.

‘How about this?’

-Clear.

‘Can you move like this?’

-Clear.

Still no change. Although there might be mistakes from my side, Kim Hyunsung didn’t make any. His still dissatisfied face annoyed me. I didn’t know why he was so dissatisfied, but…

‘I have to see more. I have to think faster.’

The screen, which slowly began to stretch on my fingertips, filled the entire control room.

Large and small screens continued to show different scenes.

‘Am I a little behind?’

Kim Hyunsung was performing something more of a mission than a quest. During the command system’s few-second delay, the guy with nothing to do covered the rest of the way.

‘Even this? Even like this?’

It seemed like a vein would burst in my eyes. My head was throbbing and spinning, but my high intellect stats didn’t allow that to distract me.

My nosebleed continued to drip, but I couldn’t afford to wipe it off. I thought that if I wiped it with my forearm, my face would be covered with blood.

‘Still? Still? It looks good now, right? Right?’

-I’ll increase it a little more.

‘This son of a bitch.’

It was no longer within my abilities.

‘More than this is impossible.’

My head had already crossed the limit of acceptable information. The hardware was screaming, and the fuse was about to go out.

‘What do you really want me to do more than this?’

I was taking it with my head and eyes, what was happening in an entire area. It felt awkward for me to say this, but it was a feat that had already exceeded the scope of mediocrity.

Even I wondered about whether it would be possible, so what else did I need to say? Yes. That was the limit of our tactic.

‘I have to feel a little more.’

I had to, in order to enter the battlefield directly.

I had to be in sync with Kim Hyunsung. Just as his eyes were looking at the battlefield, I had to look at where Kim Hyunsung was looking as well.

‘I have to feel it with my skin.’

I needed a whole new kind of information, not just what I could see visually.

In other words, guts. The sensation felt by the swordsman on the battlefield at its peak, the threat felt by his skin, the odor that rubbed the tip of his nose, the unconscious movement accumulated through experience, the texture of the floor, the flow of air, and the blood of enemies touching his body.

I should be able to feel everything Kim Hyunsung was feeling. I needed more information at that moment.

‘Is it possible?’

If it was impossible, I had to make it possible. No, I could probably do something similar to it that was possible.

First, the view that Kim Hyunsung was looking at. What the Goddess’s Mirror showed wasn’t the same. What I needed was to see with his own eyes. I had the telescope. Hence, I could fix that.

Could he split the telescope in half? If I lent him the telescope for a second, was it possible for us to look at the same place?

Was that possible with the remaining divinity? I felt desperate. I had been looking for a way somehow, but there was still no answer.

It was as if I was falling behind. The feeling of moving a bit further away by a few steps over and over again consumed my pride.

‘You think I can’t do it?’

If it were impossible, I wouldn’t even get to where I was.

‘I can do it.’

It was possible with the system. No, this was what I should’ve had from the start. It was the ability I should have.

‘I have to do it. Give it to me. So give it out. It was originally mine.’

At this, I punched the floor in annoyance.
