The Kids I Saved Are Too Strong - Chapter 195



195 – awakening-1

When I came out of the gate, everything was as before.

The children were waiting in the room, and none of the furniture had changed.

If it weren’t for the red marble in my hand, nothing had changed to the point where I could believe that everything I entered and exited the gate was a dream.

‘Did I say the orb would guide me?’

I thought about what it would be like to tell the other kids and come and go, but it didn’t seem like that.

The person who gave the marble didn’t want it, so if you tell the kids, the marble might lose its effect.

As I fiddled with the marble, the marble pointed in one direction.

Outwardly, it was still a smooth spherical marble, but the feeling of touching it seemed to tell me where to go.

“Guys. Oppa, I’m going out for a while, so I’m with the other people in the building.”

“OK.”

Did you notice the unusualness of my expression?

Sahyuni took the children and moved to the place where the younger gang members gathered and evacuated.

‘The moon will not come for at least 10 hours from now.’

Because break time is over soon.

Ha-yeon went solo, so even if she wanted to come, she was too busy dating Oji, so there was no time to take a break.

Even if there was a break, it was clear that he would not come to my house and rest at work because he could not teleport.

‘Let’s finish it within 10 hours if possible.’

Right now, the kids are so busy that they can’t afford to look for me, but Wol-ha’s break time comes and if they see me missing when they return home, they’ll know where I am right away.

In order not to spread rumors, I wore clothes that didn’t match and put on a hat.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been holding a pistol and mounting a dagger on the other side.

‘A shield is useless after all.’

I asked for it to be made, but I worried about whether it would be good to use it, but I decided to leave it as well.

Because it was something I didn’t need right now.

After all preparations, I followed the signal of the orb and walked.

When I came out of the building under the moon, there were few people walking on the street.

It seemed that not all administration was paralyzed, seeing people sometimes carrying full of daily necessities, but on the first day, it was said that the situation was more serious than this.

Because many awakened people, including the younger generation, worked hard, there could be people carrying things like that.

I followed the guide of the beads and walked.

Sometimes a gate would suddenly appear, and monsters that the Awakeners hadn’t been able to deal with would attack me, but as Hyeonsu dealt with mana and I dealt with the body, the messy monsters were lightly torn apart and disappeared.

In the past, C-class monsters that were difficult to catch without a gun could now be cut down with ease.

It was the result of using the physical abilities I had accumulated so far, the skills of Hyeonsu, and the dagger provided by Hwaryeoni.

I walked slowly and arrived at an empty lot with nothing.

It wasn’t even an awkward vacant lot from the outside, and there was nothing unusual about it at all.

‘Is this right?’

No matter how you look at it, it was a space that was nothing special, but the marble clearly marked the area directly below where I was standing.

‘You mean to break through?’

So far, marbles have not thoughtlessly given a straight path.

If it was blocked by an obstacle, it pointed the way around it, so if the marble pointed in a downward direction, it could only be interpreted as penetrating the ground.

‘Hyeonsu, can you pierce it?’

‘I can pierce the soil, but I can’t pierce the ground.’

Should I say I’m lucky? The place where we were standing was a place made of dirt.

If this was a place made of concrete or asphalt, I might not have been able to move easily for fear of damaging the city, wondering if it could be penetrated, but fortunately, the floor was dirt.

‘If I don’t think I can break it, wouldn’t the marble point here?’

‘Even if it’s empty? I’ll try it.’

Hyeonsu collected mana in his dagger.

He swung the dagger on the ground the moment he sprayed mana into the dagger and transferred the mana inside the dagger to the blade.

-bang!!

A deep hole dug in the floor with a loud sound.

It was obviously a big hole for a single blow, but it was difficult to reach the point the marble was pointing at.

‘Looks like I’ll have to hit it one more time?’

‘okay.’

Hit the ground in the same way as before.

In the past, we would have had to take a break for two hours after finishing this half-powerful attack, but with Ansung’s help, we were able to deliver the same blow again.

-bang!!

After another loud sound, the ground dug once more to the same depth as before.

Can’t even do this? When I wanted to, the soil rained down and opened a hole in the ground.

The marble pointed to the hole, so I went down there and saw a wall that looked like an artificial structure was welcoming me.

The back part was hidden by the soil and was not visible, and only the front emitted a small light as if guiding me, but the beads also pointed to the front, so I walked forward.

As the light got weaker as we went, we strengthened our eyesight with mana, but since the light was still insufficient, we continued to use mana to illuminate our vision.

The underpass was made up of many branches, and the marbles gave directions at each fork in the road, and I moved along the marbles.

‘Where the hell is this place?’

I wondered if it was made because of the gate incident, but I didn’t think that the ground would be fine after removing the ground and making an underpass there.

‘Was it built as the city was created?’

No matter how much I thought about it, that possibility came to my mind.

Because assuming otherwise wouldn’t make sense.

‘I guess so? Even you, a native of the city, didn’t know that a place like this existed, right?’

Did Ha-yeon know?

‘Maybe he didn’t know? He didn’t build this city, but he’s an S-class Awoken. There’s an underpass in the basement, and there’s no way you wouldn’t notice it.

That’s right.

Even if he hadn’t participated in the making of the underpass, he would have known of its existence.

As they continued to move following the bead’s signal, an unknown phenomenon occurred.

Experientially, there were times when I was passing the same place after turning around once, but what I saw was a different place.

Since the scale was too large for humans to build and maintain, it could be assumed that this phenomenon was caused by this incident.

In the chaotically twisted space, the marbles clearly indicated the direction, so we continued walking as the marbles pointed out.

I was able to get a strong impression that the twisting of the space intensified the further I went, approaching the source of the incident.

‘It’ll arrive in a little while.’

Seeing that the flow in the severely twisted space gradually subsided, it seemed that we had almost arrived.

At the place where I arrived after turning the last corner, there was a huge gate that I had never seen before, shining brightly.

‘I wonder if this guy is the culprit?’

I agree with Hyeonsu’s words.

The gate incident happening outside was caused by this guy.

It seems that he is hiding his position due to the twist of space, but after the city is stabilized, it is highly likely that he will be caught immediately by the year or the moon.

Of course, no one knew when the city would stabilize.

‘So what am I going to do with this guy?’

Looking at the marble, it didn’t do anything except buzz and vibrate.

The Gate just existed without spitting out any monsters, as if it was daunting just to spray the Gate into the city, but just staring at it didn’t solve the problem.

After buzzing for a while, the orb slowly emerged and transformed into a shape that perfectly matched the shape of the woman I had seen earlier.

Except for the fact that her height, which seemed to be almost two meters tall, had grown to less than one-tenth of his height, there was no difference between her appearance and what I had seen before.

– You’ve come this far.

“What should I do now?”

-Getting rid of that gate is quite possible on your own.

“You have to tell me how to do it…”

-Don’t you know how to get rid of the gate? Just like the climbing gate, you have to go inside and clear it.

She smiled and came up to me and kissed me on the cheek.

-This is a gift from me. A child who resembles me
