Chapter 349: The Rescue (4)
You sealed Lee Sun-Ho away? Gi-Gyu couldnt believe it. It was true that no one had seen much of Lee Sun-Ho recently, but he hadnt expected to find out his whereabouts like this.
And to be sealed away? By his own guild members? It was unbelievable, so Gi-Gyu studied Kang Ji-Hee.
Could you get rid of that lizardman? Kang Ji-Hee requested cautiously. When Gi-Gyu looked back, he noticed the lizardman giving the stink eye to her guild members.
Kirrrk! Kirkuk!
Gi-Gyu's attack had already left the members injured enough, so it looked like they were just marinating in their suffering now.
Thats enough, Gi-Gyu ordered.
Kirrk The lizardman looked saddened by Gi-Gyus order but quickly backed away.
Kang Ji-Hee requested, If its okay with you, may I heal my guild members before we continue our conversation?
Ill do it. Gi-Gyu had no time to waste. Even talking to her like this seemed like a waste of time to him. He splashed some white light on them by waving his hand.
...! The wounded Angela Guild members on the ground looked at each other in shock. Their injuries had healed instantly.
And our stamina too! Being in the Tower exhausted one physically and mentally, and Gi-Gyu had mended both. Even the support category high-rankers couldnt heal this many players all at once.
How?! The Angela Guild members were in disbelief, while Kang Ji-Hee stared at Gi-Gyu with an odd look.
She stammered, H-how do you have that p-power?
Pardon? Gi-Gyu frowned.
Youre the Trumpet of Apocalypse, so how did you use the power of Life? asked Kang Ji-Hee.
It was now Gi-Gyus turn to be shocked. Do you know about Life?
That question made him sound like a cult member; it was wholly unintentional.
***
To Gi-Gyus surprise, Kang Ji-Hee was aware of Life. Most high-rankers Gi-Gyu had met so far were ignorant of this power. Even Lou didnt know much about it in the past.
Life is Kang Ji-Hee seemed hesitant and still in disbelief, but she explained, Its the power our guild master used to use Only a few most important members of our guild are aware of it.
Lee Sun-Ho can use Life? Gi-Gyu was just as confused, as he had no idea Lee Sun-Ho could also use Life.
Kang Ji-Hee quickly recovered from her shock and apologized, First, Im very sorry for attacking you without listening to you.
May I ask why you did that? Gi-Gyu wasnt upset about the Angela Guild attacking him because he hadnt treated them like a threat. After all, no human would get angry at an ant for attacking them.
That was because our guild masters condition worsened after he met you, explained Kang Ji-Hee.
...? Gi-Gyu had many questions, but he listened patiently. Kang Ji-Hee tried her best to explain quickly and efficiently what sealing Lee Sun-Ho away meant, why they had attacked him, and why they were outside the 79th-floor entrance.
Kang Ji-Hee seemed relieved to have Gi-Gyu here. Her anxiety slowly decreased as she talked to him.
Is it because she wants to rely on someone? Gi-Gyu wondered.
Anyway, so thats what happened When Kang Ji-Hee finished, Gi-Gyu realized why she had felt relief.
...! Kang Ji-Hee and the other players gasped.

Fuck! Fuck! Go Hyung-Chul shrieked. Lately, he had been swearing a lot more than usual. Dammit!
But that couldnt be helped. Their situation was so desperate that he had to let out some of his frustration one way or the other.
Get ready! Go Hyung-Chul yelled. The barrier will disappear soon.
Yesterday, something changed in the fight between Ironshield and the unknown player. Go Hyung-Chul couldnt tell what exactly, but it didnt matter.
Haures offered, Ill give you more of my sorcerous energy!
Go Hyung-Chul screamed at the Red Players, I still need more magic!
The Red Players, who had been resting to recover, replied, W-well help!
You just need our power, right?
The Red Players sent their magic to Go Hyung-Chul, who used everything he had to maintain the barrier. He didnt know what was happening outside, but he could at least tell one thing.
The fight outside is about to end. Go Hyung-Chul could feel that the vicious battle was nearing its end. The entire floor shook as if it was going to crumble down. There was no way Go Hyung-Chul could keep up his barrier in this condition.
I cant last much longer! he screamed. Gi-Gyu still hadn't arrived, and they couldnt run either.
I cant leave Hal and the other knights here! Go Hyung-Chul yelled. He thought Hals evolution was almost over, but Hal and his knights were still immobile like statues. To protect them, Go Hyung-Chul needed to be near them.
Fuck! Go Hyung-Chul screamed again when he heard a clear, unmistakable sound.
Crack.
Its cracking! Youre all on your own. I will keep the barrier only around the Drake-Knight Order! Go Hyung-Chul yelled.
Whoooosh!
A giant force swept the entire floor, and the Red Players and Haures just tried their best not to be swept away.
Ackkkk! the weakest Red Player screamed. He was the first victim as his body melted; the wave held some kind of acidic energy. S-save me!
It was hard to believe that this player had made it this far.
This acid is like gastric juice, Go Hyung-Chul thought as he concentrated on keeping the barrier around Hal.
Ughhh he groaned as the acid covered the barrier. Is this the end?
The last of his barrier finally disappeared. The acidic energy would now reach them and corrode them.
Fwoosh!
Just then, a giant black barrier formed around them.
Huhhh? Go Hyung-Chul became confused, but he was an experienced player. He quickly enabled his skill, Shadow Barrier!
Realizing he had regained his power, Go Hyung-Chul exclaimed, Finally! Youre here, you bastard!
