The Kids I Saved Are Too Strong - Chapter 167
167 – Unclosing Gate-5
Ha-yeon, who entered the gate, came out again.
Although I believed it would come back, I was completely relieved that there was one in a row.
“Baek Yeon-ha, Lee Go-yang, and I will go back in and come out.”
‘Is this a story that only we should talk about?’
Following Ha-yeon into the gate, a gloomy swamp appeared.
‘It’s embarrassing.’
It felt really bad to feel the dampness all over my body as soon as I entered.
“Why did you only call us?”
“Didn’t I say that my powers are limited?”
“Has it gotten worse?”
When the younger sister asked with a worried expression, Ha Yeoni nodded quietly.
“Somehow I feel like the Gates are rejecting me.”
“Are you at the gate?”
“It just feels like that, it feels like the mana around me is disturbing me, this entire space is holding me in check.”
“I don’t think it’s an area that can be detected with my ability.”
“yes?”
Hayeon laughed weakly.
“My brother and I will be waiting here, so can you bring the kids in?”
“OK.”
The younger stepped into the gate.
“It’s dizzy…”
“I mean, I have no idea what the gate is doing.”
“So…”
While the two of them were breathing deeply, the guards quickly began to come in.
“Baek Yeon-ha, please collect information.”
“Yep!”
Younger shouted loudly and showed off his ability.
“Is the situation serious?”
The young man hardened his expression.
Her expression looked so serious that I was nervous without knowing it and stuck close to her.
“What’s the matter?”
“The biological reactions around me are similar to before, but I can feel a different powerful aura from deep underground.”
Tension spread throughout the guards.
The powerful monster itself was a great danger that could endanger the expedition.
“Is it an A-class monster?”
In response to Ha-yeon’s heavy question, Young-ha shook her head from side to side.
“no.”
The mood of the guards grew heavier.
The younger age attracted the atmosphere like that, but there was no way the boss monster was grade B. Because of that, it was right to think that if it wasn’t A-class, it was S-class.
“But it’s not even an S-class monster. The gap between A-class monsters and S-class monsters is huge, but I think it’s a monster with strength that’s somewhere in between.”
“Can you think of it as an A+?”
“It’s stronger than that… I think it would be more accurate to call it S-.”
It was better than facing an S-class monster, but the fact that the opponent was stronger than an A+-class monster made the atmosphere very heavy.
The fact that younger people insisted on adding the word S- means that it is closer to S-class than A-class, and even though we cannot be sure that we will not be able to defeat an existence that strong, it is because it is a powerful enough enemy to take damage.
“Sigh…”
Hayeon let out a deep sigh.
When she let out a sigh, the atmosphere throughout the expedition went down, but the real problem wasn’t the only one.
“I have something to pass on to you.”
‘Are you trying to tell me that I’m being limited by my abilities?’
If Ha-yeon was able to display her full abilities, there was no problem whether she was A+ or S-class. Ha-yeon was a complete S-class Awakener, and I couldn’t be her opponent if it wasn’t the same S-class.
But now, Ha-yeon’s abilities were quite limited.
I couldn’t show my skills properly, and there was no confidence that I could face the boss monster alone.
“When we entered the second gate, I felt that my powers were limited. However, it was insignificant, and I felt that there was no problem in catching monsters anyway, so I did not delay the attack. But when I entered the third gate, my His powers have been further restricted, and he is overflowing to be called an A-class Awakener, but has become insufficient to be called an S-Class Awakener.”
A heavy atmosphere enveloped the guards.
It was a very big risk that Ha-yeon, the most powerful being, lost her power.
Ha-yeon is strong enough to fight well enough against all the other Awoken by herself, but that power is gone…
“I’m not sure I can catch the boss monster Baek Yeon-ha said by myself.”
no one answered
As time passed without anyone talking, I heard Park Ji-hyun’s voice.
“So what are you saying!”
His voice was full of rebelliousness, but his intentions did not seem impure.
The basic personality and voice are rough, but the intention itself was pure.
“Our expedition is not composed of only one captain. Even if the captain has weakened, we are fine! Then, isn’t it okay to continue exploring?”
“Park Ji-hyun is right. I roughly estimated it, and I can catch the boss monster with the power I have now.”
When the younger sister looked at Ha-yeon with a confident expression, Ha-yeon also nodded with a determined look.
“I understand your feelings. I will not defeat the expedition team.
“I came in for that.”
Park Ji-hyun’s light voice eased the surrounding atmosphere.
“Then Baek Yeon-ha, can you analyze the boss monster even if it’s a bit far away?”
“Yes, I can.”
“Lee Go-yang protects Baek Yeon-ha. She will be busy analyzing Baek Yeon-ha’s boss monster, so you must protect Baek Yeon-ha.”
“All right!”
First of all, I started dealing with normal monsters.
I felt a sense of disgust when I was dealing with a monster that had no resemblance to the species of the earth, but as Ha-yeon and other high-level Awakeners moved quickly and cut down the monsters, the normal monsters were quickly annihilated.
“Baek Yeon-ha, is the analysis finished?”
“Yes, it’s over.”
The younger sister began to explain in detail about the boss monster hiding under the swamp.
He explained in detail how big he was, what kind of weapons he hid in his body, what he had to pay attention to, etc., but the level was so detailed that it far exceeded my thoughts, so I couldn’t help but listen in awe.
‘Is this the power of an A-Class Awakener?’
Although not incompetently strong, it seemed to be unrivaled in gathering information.
“I don’t think the enemy is that picky.”
After hearing all the stories about the boss from the younger, I started the meeting right away.
About 30 minutes flew by as we talked in detail about how to deal with his movements and how to deal with special situations.
“Okay, I think I’ve made enough countermeasures.”
The plan I made in 30 minutes wasn’t that complicated.
If it was a raid in which all guards participated, the difficulty would have risen dramatically, but since only Ha Yeoni and other high-level Awakeners decided to participate in the raid, the plan itself was not complicated.
It wasn’t that the other guards weren’t doing their job at all, but the awakened ones who had the ability to attack from a long distance decided to help catch the boss monster while looking at the situation.
I also decided to help out with a pistol from time to time.
“Then we’ll go right in.”
The floor started to shake as Ha-yeon headed up to the coordinates where the boss monster was located.
Because it was a swamp, the vibration was not transmitted perfectly, but a huge vibration hit us, making us feel the size of the boss monster, and the boss monster covered in sticky ooze appeared in front of the awakened people.
– I was waiting for you to arrive.
The distance between us and the boss monster was quite short, but the sound of the boss monster could be heard very clearly.
‘Could the monster speak?’
I’ve heard that high-ranking monsters often have intelligence, but I think this is the first time I’ve heard that.
– How was the gate I prepared, challengers.
The Awakeners in the front row responded to the boss monster, but we couldn’t hear it.
The distance between them and us was so great that there was no way we could hear them unless they were talking as loud as the boss monster.
We’ll have to take extra steps to listen to them.
-hahahahaha, yes, of course I prepared it, I didn’t want to divide it into 3 floors, but I couldn’t help it.
-Your strength? Of course I limited it, this place is not for the strong like you. It is a place for those who want to become strong.
-The editorial is long, now let’s start the final test.
The size of the boss monster surrounded by ooze suddenly swelled up, spreading a large vibration over a wide area.
