vs. Yang Jung-geun and the Aces (1)
Yang Jung-geun’s plan was simple and clear.
The idea was to lure thieves who had lost communication with each other using Pungbitgaram and then eliminate them.
And now, Pungbitgaram met a thief and was luring him by pretending to help him.
“As expected, you are easily fooled when you meet the same thief after being alone all this time.”
Yang Jung-geun muttered, raising one corner of his mouth.
Currently, the thieves had to endure 24 hours of loneliness in a situation where they were unable to communicate with each other.
Above all, he was very anxious because he had lost contact with Kim Jin-seong, who had been giving operational instructions.
So, in a way, it was a natural thing to easily fall for Pungbitgaram’s persuasion and follow him.
“It’s 100 meters away.”
When the thieves were finally caught at the end of his radar range, Lee Deok-gu said to Yang Jung-geun:
“Not yet. “If you come just a little longer…”
Yang Jung-geun answered as if he was talking to himself, waiting for the right moment to get a little closer.
Lee Deok-gu, who was watching, recalled Kim Jin-seong’s message from a little while ago.
– I plan to use Pungbitgaram and that thief to kidnap Yang Jung-geun.
‘I’m thinking of using the same thief as bait…’
It seemed like a good decision.
In fact, from Kim Jin-seong’s perspective, there seemed to be no loss just because there was no thief like him.
After a while, the distance between Pungbitgaram and the thief following him became less than 50m, enough that the taggers, including Yang Jung-geun, came into sight.
At that time, Yang Jung-geun gave instructions through the smartphone earphones.
“Now! “Start.”
After hearing the instructions, Pungbitgaram immediately transformed into smoke.
The smoke spread out in an instant, completely surrounding the vast space centered on the thief.
A ‘smoke magic circle’ that completely blocks the surrounding view has been completed.
“···Well, what are you doing?”
The thief who was following was embarrassed and looked around at the smoke-covered surroundings.
However, Pungbitgaram did not respond and immediately used a lightning attack.
Crumbling!
“Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
A thief who screams and shakes his whole body.
But he didn’t just suffer like that. This is just using a unique skill.
“······!”
Pungbitgaram, who transformed into smoke, was very surprised.
Suddenly, the smoke around the thief disappeared. It even seemed like he was running out of range with all his might.
It seemed clear to anyone that the ‘smoke magic circle’ had been completely resolved.
‘The magic circle is also a magic circle, so how did you get rid of the electric shock… Ah!’
Pungbitgaram, who was astonished, finally made an expression of disappointment.
Suddenly, the image of the thief on iTube who had escaped danger with similar abilities during the first round of the preliminary round flashed through my mind.
‘That bastard had the ability to dispel!’
Dispel, a skill that nullifies all magic cast on you.
In that case, it makes sense that he was momentarily freed from both the magic circle and the electric shock condition.
Pungbitgaram immediately shouted in a loud voice.
“Run to the right!”
“I know, man!”
Yang Jung-geun’s answer was heard right nearby.
As I looked around, I saw the taggers already completely surrounding Pungbitgaram and the fleeing thief.
It seemed that Pungbitgaram was moving quickly while unfolding the ‘smoke magic circle’.
“omg···!”
The thief, seeing a considerable number of taggers, was frightened and did not know what to do.
I ran back towards the beach where the siege net was thin, but it was already too late to break through.
Jiing-!
“Ahh!”
At that moment, the thief screamed and fell to the floor as the laser pierced his thigh.
It was an attack by Hwang Bo-kyung, one of the ace team members of the tag team.
“good job! Then, everyone prepare to pour out their skills at the same time!”
At Yang Jung-geun’s shout, the taggers surrounding him all prepared to use their skills against the thief.
“3, 2, 1. Fire!”
At the same time as Yang Jung-geun’s shout, the taggers’ skills all poured down on the fallen thief.
The scene where dozens of skills poured into one place was truly spectacular.
In the aftermath, sounds like thunder were heard one after another.
After a while, the smoke in the wake of the skills slowly dispersed.
Soon, the sight of the corpse lying on the ground in a miserable state caught the eyes of the taggers.
“it’s okay! Now let’s hear who passed the preliminaries right away!”
It was the time when the taggers who heard Yang Jung-geun’s words all looked towards the main castle where the announcement was to be made with faces filled with anticipation.
Suddenly, Yang Jung-geun’s spirit sent a signal of crisis.
‘···uh?’
His gaze reflexively turned to his feet.

Suddenly, a huge circular black hole was being created.
Yang Jung-geun’s eyes widened at that familiar sight.
It was the same hole we saw in the warehouse when the reconnaissance team was kidnapped.
‘It’s a warp hole!’
Yang Jung-geun shouted loudly and jumped to the side.
“It’s Jinseong Kim!! Avoid everyone!!”
At the sound, the taggers around reflexively jumped away.
Almost at the same time, a wide warp hole was created on the side where Yang Jung-geun was standing.
The warp hole swallowed up the body of the thief, who was left alone in a place where all the taggers had avoided, and disappeared.
The taggers broke into a cold sweat at the bloody sight.
But that was all.
“Phew…!”
“I survived by a narrow margin.”
“Did you avoid everything? “It’s awesome?”
It was really fortunate that none of the taggers were swept into the range of the warp hole.
It was a time when everyone was relieved.
Ugh-!
Suddenly, a ringing sound that can be heard when mana spreads was heard from one side.
This was the place where Yang Jung-geun threw himself.
“Huh?!”
“W-what?!”
For some reason, a black mana cloud was engulfing Yang Jung-geun and several taggers.
The taggers inside quickly tried to escape, but it was already too late.
Yang Jung-geun and the taggers who were within the range of the black mana cloud disappeared in an instant.
“omg···!”
“Where did it go?”
“It seems like a teleportation skill?”
“Is this also Kim Jin-seong’s doing…?”
When the confused taggers spit out one word at a time with surprised expressions.
Lee Deok-gu continued to stare blankly at the place where Yang Jung-geun disappeared with a shocked expression.
‘Obviously, as soon as the watchful eye touched the ground, a mana cloud appeared!’
Deokgu Lee, who was activating his radar skill, was able to perfectly witness the situation just now.
The surveillance eyes floating in the sky suddenly fell on Yang Jung-geun, who was running away from the warp hole.
At the same time, a mana cloud was created, and what happened afterwards was exactly what everyone witnessed.
‘Was the surveillance eye originally that fast? No, more than that, how can I use the teleportation skill with a watchful eye…?’
Deokgu Lee, who witnessed the detailed process, was even more unable to understand the situation.
Clearly, Lee Deok-gu clearly witnessed a black mana cloud spouting out from the watchful eye.
Lee Deok-gu could swear with everything that he never used a separate skill like teleportation.
‘Kim Jin-seong, what kind of person is this…!’
Fear of Kim Jin-seong began to arise in Lee Deok-gu’s heart.
* * *
“Are you surprised?”
Kim Jin-seong’s voice rang softly through the fourth basement floor.
Jinseong Kim’s relaxed posture was surrounded by numerous Quagmire summons that he had created in advance.
and···.
“Tsk…!”
“Damn it!”
Five taggers, including Yang Jung-geun, grit their teeth while looking at the surrounded summons.
Kim Jin-seong thought to himself as he looked at them, who were facing each other with their backs to him with a very nervous expression.
‘Honestly, I was surprised too. I didn’t know that skills that were completed through fusion once could be fused again.’
A skill fusion notification window appeared in front of Kim Jin-seong’s eyes.
▶ Through skill fusion, the ‘Mana Hawk – Equip Teleportation Skill’ skill and the ‘Watching Eye’ skill have been fused.
– The flight speed of the ‘Watching Eye’ summon becomes incredibly fast.
– From now on, you can only use the ‘Teleport’ skill when using ‘Watching Eye’.
– When using the ‘Teleport’ skill, creatures within a wide range centered on the ‘Watching Eye’ summon are immediately teleported to the location designated by the user.
– Conversely, you can also instantly move from a designated location to the location where the ‘Watching Eye’ was located.
– If you use the ‘Teleport’ skill, the ‘Watching Eye’ summon will disappear immediately.
– Can teleport up to 40m distance.
▶ The ‘Mana Hawk – Equip Teleportation Skill’ skill has disappeared.
▶ 5,000 Vis Crimea points were used for skill fusion costs.
This time, Kim Jin-seong once again fused the ‘Watching Eye’ skill with the upgraded ‘Mana Hawk’ skill that had previously been fused with teleportation.
As a result, the ‘Watching Eye’ skill was able to use the advantages of the existing ‘Mana Hawk’ skill and the ‘Teleport’ skill, and the existing upgraded Mana Hawk skill became a material and disappeared.
‘If continued fusion with existing fusion skills is possible in this way, in theory, it can be upgraded infinitely.’
In fact, the upgraded ‘Surveillance Eye’ obtained through the second fusion has much improved detailed abilities.
The maximum distance has now doubled to 40m. In addition, due to the ‘magic constitution’ characteristic, instantaneous movement is possible up to a distance of 80m.
Therefore, it was possible to safely transport Yang Jung-geun and others to the fourth floor deep underground.
“Anyway, we’re in big trouble? “I went forward believing only in numbers, and now I have to fight with only four people.”
“Ugh…!”
In response to Kim Jin-seong’s provocation, Yang Jung-geun gritted his teeth but could not reply even a single word.
Then, he immediately pressed the microphone button on his smartphone earphone and shouted loudly.
“All taggers, quickly come down to the underground passage!! Jinseong Kim is here!!”
Yang Jung-geun’s subsequent cries felt urgent and even desperate.
“Hunting and defense teams all come down to the sewer!! right now!!”
* * *
“what? Even the defense team?”
“All the people in the main castle? ···hello?”
Several taggers asked what the situation was, but no more voices were heard through the earphones.
“uh···.”
“What should I do…?”
Soon the taggers began to look at each other, not knowing what to do.
When Yang Jung-geun, who had decided everything, disappeared, chaos immediately came.
It was then.
“Well, then…”
Lee Deok-gu’s cautious voice reached the ears of all the taggers.
As everyone looked, Deokgu Lee continued.
“Let’s go to the underground passage first, right? “Mr. Jung-geun can help, and there could be other thieves hiding besides Kim Jin-seong, right?”
The taggers look at each other again at those words.
However, as if there was no other way, he immediately nodded.
“Then let’s go quickly.”
Soon Deokgu Lee turned around and began moving quickly toward the location of the underground passage he had memorized in advance.
More than a hundred taggers naturally followed behind him.
Lee Deok-gu glanced back and bit his lip from the overwhelming emotions.
‘I finally regained my position as leader!’
Although Yang Jung-geun was properly branded as a ‘failure’, in any case, other than Yang Jung-geun, he was the only one who had played the role of leader so far in this round.
Of course, someone out of nowhere could come out of nowhere and aim for the leader position.
But Kim Jin-seong didn’t think that way before.
– Everyone must have seen you being despised by Yang Jung-geun. Everyone knows how burdensome the leadership role is, so no one will be willing to step forward.
Kim Jin-seong’s thought was that if Lee Deok-gu steps forward again in such a situation, he will follow as if he can’t win.
The result was a huge success.
‘After moving to the underground passage according to Kim Jin-seong’s instructions…’
That was when Lee Deok-gu thought about it.
[The tagger has defeated the thief. The tag team secured 24 people who passed the preliminary round.]
Announcements began to be heard from the direction of the main castle, and Lee Deok-gu turned his head in that direction.
‘Kim Jin-seong said that the contents of this broadcast will have a big impact on future operations.’
The taggers stopped and started to listen with nervous expressions.
[We will announce the tagger participants who were directly involved in the treatment…]
Soon, the main speaker began calling out the names of those confirmed to have passed the preliminary round.
* * *
“You’re calling the defense team?”
Jinseong Kim chuckled.
“Do you think I’m a bit scary enough to call the defense team in the main castle?”
“입 닥쳐, 이 개새끼야!!”
Yang Jung-geun shouts in a panic.
“You made a mistake, you bastard. “I don’t know if it’s just me, but if there are four of us here, you and I can just eat steamed rice!”
“Hoo…really?”
“You’re going to regret teleporting not just me, but five people at once, you little piece of trash!”
Yang Jung-geun’s eyes were overflowing with life and looked like they were about to drip.
However, Kim Jin-seong looked rather excited about the sight.
“Then try to make me regret it.”
As soon as Kim Jin-seong finished speaking, the Quagmire summons moved.
The sight of Quagmires all launching their bodies towards Yang Jung-geun and others!
At the same time, Yang Jung-geun moved.
“Huh!”
He struck the ground with his palm and created a subspace magic circle in an instant.
At the same time, the environment around Kim Jin-seong changed into a hazy, fog-like appearance. It was due to the influence of the subspace magic circle.
“You idiot! “I didn’t know that I could never enter subspace from outside if I didn’t want to!”
Yang Jung-geun shouted this while smiling in triumph.
As he said, the Quagmire summons that should have attacked Yang Jung-geun and others a long time ago did not appear to be able to enter the magic circle even though a long time had passed.
“Now, try taking on the five of us by yourself! “And that’s on my home ground!”
With Yang Jung-geun’s shout, the taggers standing next to him all took an attacking stance toward Kim Jin-seong, who was left alone.
