Chapter 110. Resolution

ED: Chrysanthemum

“……Shit, I fell for it.”

“Fell for what? Is there a problem, Senior Brother?”

“Yeah. A big problem.”

Juk Hyul Myung chewed his nails as he became angry at his own stupidity.

“To strike at the weak points…… Damn, so he’s pretty smart, huh?”

It looked like the enemy had taken care of the weak ones around him first.

‘Why’d I realize this now?’

Juk Hyul Myung frowned, and looked around.

The huge presence from before had disappeared.

The enemy seemed to be extremely careful in his actions.

He had felt something move slightly, but since it was far away, Juk Hyul Myung couldn’t move.

It wasn’t like he could leave Ju Da Hye alone.

“Shit. Shit……!”

He was frustrated.

He knew what the creator of the formation was trying to do, but he didn’t know how to stop the bastard.

‘Is there really no way?’

After thinking a bit, Juk Hyul Myung shook his head.

There was always a way to solve something.

He just hadn’t found it yet.

Juk Hyul Myung grabbed onto Ju Da Hye’s hands that had gotten themselves tightly woven around their waist.

“Let go, it’s annoying.”

“No!”

“I’m telling you, you don’t have to do this? I won’t run away?”

“Still, no!”

Juk Hyul Myung was unable to understand why the girl was doing this.

He didn’t understand with his current understanding of a female’s mind.

“It’s hot.”

“Just endure it.”

“……Why the hell are you like this?”

Ju Da Hye grabbed onto Juk Hyul Myung even tighter than before instead of responding.

Juk Hyul Myung was annoyed by this, but he didn’t do anything.

He just didn’t want to solve things by force.

“Damn it, do what you want.”

“……You can’t run from me now, Senior Brother.”

“I’m telling you, I won’t run.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. What am I going to do if I leave you behind? Teacher’s going to kill me if I do that.”

Ju Da Hye smiled after hearing this.

But that smile was not one of happiness, but rather one of bitterness.

“Eh? Why are you smiling?”

Although Ju Da Hye smiled behind Juk Hyul Myung, Juk Hyul Myung didn’t miss her smile.

He was an expert, after all.

“You don’t need to know.”

Ju Da Hye forced herself to smile brightly.

She needed to look happy.

At least in front of Juk Hyul Myung, she needed to look happy.

That was what he liked of her.

She didn’t want to look sad and depressing in front of him.

“You seem to have a lot of secrets nowadays?”

“I had a lot of secrets from the start?”

“Really?”

“You’re actually kinda stupid, you know?”

“No way.”

Juk Hyul Myung scratched his head in confusion.

Come to think of it, this girl was the only senior sister who would talk to him for a long time.

Was it because he teased her a lot, as she felt like a younger sister?

It seemed that she was scared of him leaving her behind.

‘I would never do that.’

Juk Hyul Myung had merely teased the girl all these years.

He would never do something like leave her behind when things got a little hard.

‘He said he wouldn’t run.’

Ju Da Hye understood Juk Hyul Myung’s words a little differently.

And she then sighed inside.

‘Please understand my actions. I can’t help but do it.’

Honestly, Ju Da Hye wasn’t interested in how dangerous their current situation was.

As long as the Senior Brother was there, everything would work itselves out.

But……

‘He wouldn’t know how I feel about him…….’

Juk Hyul Myung definitely wouldn’t know of how she was feeling.

He probably wasn’t even interested.

It made her feel hurt.

It made her feel sad.

‘Since when was it all like this?’

From the start, she had always liked her Senior Brother.

But the Senior Brother was so amazing that she couldn’t even approach him easily.

Ju Da Hye strengthened her grip even more on Juk Hyul Myung’s waise.

‘Let me be like this for just today.’

A person who was like a sparkling star in the night sky.

It was just for a single day, but Ju Da Hye was able to think of this person as hers.

Her Senior Brother’s back was large, and warm.

Juk Hyul Myung felt his Junior Sister behind his back, and sighed.

He didn’t know what the enemy was doing, but he could not move.

But he wouldn’t be able to do anything like this.

It wasn’t like he could wait for death either.

Juk Hyul Myung looked around, and steadied his breath.

Now wasn’t the time to try to restrain himself.

A huge amount of energy began to move around Juk Hyul Myung’s body.

“We’ll charge through.”

Around the time when Juk Hyul Myung began to gather strength, Gu Hui was trying to do something similar.

Thankfully, his situation was better off than Juk Hyul Myung’s.

He still had his subordinates, and he knew of what would happen.

Because of that, the Nanman Beast Gate was able to maintain a safe position without suffering from any damages.

But that would reach an end soon.

Gu Hui knew this, as he had realized what the enemy was doing.

‘He’s taking care of the Alliance.’

Leave the body be, and cut off the limbs.

It seemed to be a nice plan.

Seeing how he was like this, Juk Hyul Myung was probably imprisoned somewhere as well.
