Chapter 870: The End of The Scenario (3)

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

‘These bastards went nuts. Nuts.’

I even wanted to put special background music on that scene. It was so moving I was almost in tears. Fuck.

‘Okay. Fuck. To be honest, the moment they created is amazing.’

He was definitely a god worthy to partake in the final clash.

The truth was a little different, but they looked like heroes going against the demon who was trying to devour the continent.

Where else could this miracle that united everyone at the decisive moment have happened?

The scene was so amazing that it made me think a bright tomorrow awaited us. It was like I could already hear hopeful music playing.

Familiar faces were still coming out of the magic circles.

Not all of them were from the Blue Guild. There were some joining in that I couldn’t even remember the names of, but they had all probably been helped by or benefited from the Son of Light, considering their faces held more than determination.

They looked like they couldn’t watch me suffer any longer and that they’d do everything to save the Son of Light. It was as if they were telling me it was their turn to help me now…

It felt good to see so many people yelling for the Son of Light, but at the same time, it made me nervous.

‘Jihye, is this right?’

Our original scenario wasn’t like this. There were too many uninvited guests.

Jung Hayan, for example.

‘That bastard Raphael, too.’

I’d thought Jihye was going to talk to Han Sora, but anyone could see she was on the verge of losing reason.

Seeing strange monsters exploding like firecrackers while she maintained the teleportation magic hadn’t put me at ease. Although Han Sora was marking her closely, she would probably feel like she was riding a tightrope from her perspective.

It wouldn’t be strange if a meteorite fell here as soon as she slipped off of that tiny thread.

Had I known she was coming, I would have at least concealed my appearance.

“D-D-Die. I’ll kill you. D-Die…”

“Jung Hayan? Jung Hayan?”

The gray pigeon, whom I suspected was the culprit behind all this, was showing off his strength while proving that he was still in good health, but…

“Hyung! It’s me, Raphael! I’m here!”

‘You’re not the main character here. Fuck. You have a minor role!’

He had to stop stepping over his line. Why was the supporting actor acting as the lead actor and improvising without permission?

As someone who had to make a perfect scene, I couldn’t stand the chaos among the artists.

“Sniff… Hyung… You motherfucker! Aaaaaaaaaah!”

‘Piss off. Really. You’re too emotional. Don’t take the spotlight from our Hyunsung, you bastard.’

The overall image itself wasn’t that bad, but looking into the details, I was going to go crazy.

I doubted this had even been right in the first place.

Of course, we were earning a lot from the people. I fully understood director Lee Jihye’s intentions, who wanted to deliver hope and a message to mankind…

But I kept seeing members of the production overstepping their boundaries. To be honest, it wasn’t that our main actor didn’t sell many tickets. That gray bird just dared to keep flying around.

“Hyung! I’ll save you. Be patient.”

‘Gosh, just take him away…’

I couldn’t help but be skeptical about this entire situation. We were definitely benefitting from this scene, though. What Jung Hayan was showing was nothing short of a miracle, and her timing was exquisite.

‘Fuck, what good will thinking about it do me?’

It was out of my hands anyway. If Jihye decided this was right, there had to be a reason.

I was the one who’d planned it, but now, it was on her to change the scenario… I was also an actor on stage. I had to keep my mouth shut.

‘Jihye… Jihye…’

If it were true that she was organizing the main unit right now, then she’d let the lead actor regain the spotlight soon enough.

“Open the way! Open the damn way!”

Booooooooooooom!!!

I heard a voice roar within our ranks.

“Advance! Advance! One step forward!”

The shield unit was moving, led by Park Deokgu.

“Forward! Push!”

The priests’ divine power continued to fall on them as they did.

I saw the road slowly opening. It was small, but it was like watching the red sea part.

On the land filled with unspeakable abominations, humans were forming a path with their shields side by side.

“Make way!”

Its appearance alone made my jaw drop. It was a bit cringeworthy, but it was something we didn’t see every day.

Park Deokgu, who seemed more desperate than anyone else, stood out. The way he was holding the camp while keeping pace with other people made me reevaluate him.

‘He’s grown.’

If he hadn’t, Park Deokgu would have left long ago. Actually, he’d hit a wall a couple of times, and there were many things I’d had to take care of to make him stronger.

I’d thought no effort would be enough to take his name to the top of the continent, but looking at Park Deokgu now, it was no longer possible for me to have those thoughts.

He’d forgotten about the attack power he had no hope of gaining, and the other parts that were blocked by his limitations had been supplemented with buffs or equipment. With all of those combined, he climbed up.

Witnessing his figure overwhelming everyone despite already being among huge warriors made me feel a little sad without really registering it.

“Well, the only thing I can do is defend the frontlines.”

‘Pig bastard…’

“I can’t do that properly either, but if it’s dirty work, leave it to me.”

‘Don’t say embarrassing lines.’

“That is enough.”

It was Cho Hyejin who answered him. No, it was the members of the Blue Guild, led by Cho Hyejin.

“The command will come from headquarters. We will obey orders with the highest priority.”

“Got it.”

“It seems like it’s been a long time since we were together like this.”

“Yeah.”

Alps, Yoo Ah-young, and Kim Ye-ri continued talking. They started running down the path opened by the big pigs.

Unlike me, who hadn’t participated in proper training for so long, the Blue Guild members never skipped intense training.

Their responses were instantaneous. It even made me react before thinking.

Their actions demonstrated just how strong a well-balanced party could be.

In fact, even the textbooks talked about that.

The party members started to move.

Centered on Cho Hyejin, their purpose was to pierce through. Those who entered the camp grew tense, almost as if they were looking directly at a pointed spear that could never be stopped.

Their operation started with her taking one step forward.

She jumped like a bullet, threw her spear, and Sun Hee-young and Elena, who were in the middle of the formation, began to chant divine incantations.

Sprinting ahead of the party and leaving two priests behind was dangerous, but the two rangers in charge of the party’s flanks made it possible.

‘Kim Chang-ryul and Kim Ye-ri.’

Actually, I didn’t even need to talk about Kim Ye-ri. She was an all-rounder disguised as a ranger, and she was so good even in close combat that she was called the downgraded version of Kim Hyunsung.

The pressure they felt as they marked all kinds of variables coming in from all directions was higher than Cho Hyejin, who was at the forefront.

They constantly kept an eye on the party while responding in real-time to any situation brought by external forces.

Even manager Kim Mi-young couldn’t make comments or give them commands. In other words, the two rangers had to make arbitrary decisions.

They were the ones who had to constantly think and come to conclusions about what to give up and what to take.

For example, they chose what to do when magic spells that rangers couldn’t stop were fired at them or when they had to move to avoid being surrounded.

And during this time, Kim Ye-ri had to choose. With the tentacles pouring out and the beast blocking their way, she chose to cut through them all.

She didn’t bother with the tentacles coming from above, most likely under the notion that Ahn Ki-mo would block them.

“Nice, uncle Ki-mo.”

“Haha…”

Kim Chang-ryul also left some of the burdens to Yoo Ah-young, who was taking care of the Blue’s rearguard.

“I trust my colleagues.”

I’d love to say cringe-inducing lines like that, but that wasn’t the case at all. This win was made possible by the system.

It was the result of training thousands, tens of thousands, millions of times.

The system was the one that allowed them to distinguish between what they could and couldn’t do as individuals and how to distribute their burdens evenly.

That was why the priests, wizards, and Hwang Jeong-yeon could continue to chant spells inside the square.

Buffs were constantly coming down to the frontline. Whenever their energy ran out, divine power and magic hit them once again.

Of course, the one who made the biggest contribution in making these impossible tactics possible was…

“Our Hayan.”

Booooooooooooooooooooooooom!!!

Magical power split into millions of strands continued to fall around the party.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooom!!!

The divine power emitted by Elena and Sun Hee-young was also beyond ordinary, but Jung Hayan was in an entirely different league.

Her magical thorn, which moved as if it had its own will, continued to expand its range and penetrated quite a lot of our opponents.

Even Han Sora was a big help. I wanted to show her, but I couldn’t since she wasn’t the one that should be getting the spotlight.

“These bastards!”

The Song Villain fired out a large amount of magical power. At this point, it was time for him to stop.

“Leave it to us!”

Park Deokgu, who had switched with Cho Hyejin, raised his shield. Together with Yoo Ahyoung and Ahn Ki-mo, they blocked the attack head-on.

“I’ll throw it in a different direction! Hwang Jeong-yeon!”

“Yes, Ahyoung. Deokgu.”

Sun Hee-young provided buffs that could assist the members at the frontline. At the same time, Hwang Jeong-yeon used magic to reduce the physical shock received by tanks, changing kinetic energy to magical energy. She was secretly an all-rounder too. She just didn’t have magic power.

In the meantime, Elena was…

“Cho Hyejin!”

“Thank you.”

She loaded more fuel into Cho Hyejin. Only Alps, who was still lacking in skill, snooped around. Whitey barked and took care of their mental health.

It was probably an overwhelming scene to see up close, but it still made my jaw drop even when viewed from a distance.

What they were doing was too unrealistic as a small party fighting in a place filled with hideous tentacles and monstrosities.

Unsurprisingly, I heard the ones watching them murmuring.

“How… is that possible…?”

“Keep your eyes open. Our people need to learn from them. Trust your colleagues…”

That wasn’t the power of trust and friendship. That was the fruit of their training and hard work, and the power of the system.

The red waves were starting to break apart.

In the middle of the square, Kim Hyunsung looked comfortable. Though he always led the party members in the frontlines, he moved while being protected this time.

‘He probably thinks he should trust his colleagues more.’

Perhaps they would live up to Kim Hyunsung’s expectations.

And just as expected…

‘Did the delivery arrive?’

The magic square that had been heavily defended was forcibly opened. At that moment, Kim Hyunsung spread his wings as the sunset fell behind him.

Unlike before, when his face had looked nervous, now he seemed to be at ease.

“I will save you.”

“…”

The scene made me feel sad for some reason.

“For sure this time.”
