Chapter 18

‘Ah, if only I could use the Observer’s Power.’ That was the most powerful Power of Astaroth, so Kang Yu couldn’t use it now.

Kang Yu sighed in disappointment and descended to the ground smoothly.

— Brothers! What are you guys doing?

That’s when Kang Yu heard the familiar voice and the clear sound of metal.

— Dae Su? — That was Dae Su’s voice, who had earlier been gathering the parties in front of the gate. His voice was filled with anger, and he spoke faster than usual.

‘What’s going on out there?’ If it was just some random person, Kang Yu wouldn’t have cared about what was going on, but it was a familiar voice, so he was curious.

Once Kang Yu reached the ground, he headed towards the voice.

— Ha, you even act like a filthy pig.

— What the…

Kang Yu saw two guys — one with an axe and the other with a sword — surrounding Dae Su.

Next to him, there was a bleeding Robber with whom they’d talked with at the gate.

— Why are you attacking your own teammates?!

— Why are you so loud? Now all lizardmen will come here.

— Answer the question! — shouted Dae Su, putting up a shield in front of himself.

‘Scene of betrayal?’ Listening to Dae Su’s dialogue with his comrades, Kang Yu squinted.

Even when he’d heard only a fragment of the conversation, it wasn’t hard to understand what’s going on.

Those two guys had been in Dae Su’s party and then suddenly attacked their teammates.

‘’Teamkillers?’ It looks like they sneaked into the gate under the guise of group members, but their goal wasn’t to kill monsters but to kill their own teammates to take their valuables and items.

After all, it wasn’t surprising if someone died in the gate, so they abuse their special abilities by killing other Players.

— Don’t make any noise, — One of the guys swung an axe next to Dae Su’s head.

He kept staring firmly at the guys without letting go of his shield.

— Huh, you’re really tough.

— Are you sure you have two ranks? Why are you holding up so well?

The guys were surprised by Dae Su’s strength.

And he, with his teeth clenched, concentrated all his power on his arm with the shield. And the shield caught on fire with a bluish tint.

— My soul, unlike yours, is not for sale.

— You seem to have discovered a powerful ability?

— If you have not reached rank 3, you cannot defeat us.

The guys grinned and started getting even closer to Dae Su.

Dae Su fought surprisingly well, but no matter how you spun it, his opponents had level 30 and rank 4. The difference was incommensurable.

— It’s time to finish.

— You know you can’t kill him, right?

— Of course.

They smiled sinisterly and intercepted the guns.

Kang Yu, who was hiding behind tangled tree branches nearby, frowned when he heard this conversation.

‘Can’t kill?’ Those words didn’t fit the description of a teamkiller.

Kang Yu looked at Dae Su, who was holding a shield in his hand and became concerned.

‘Should I help?’ If it was a stranger, he would have just walked by.

Because even though they didn’t get to know each other very long, Dae Su had made a good impression, and Kang Yu didn’t want to just pass by.

— Hold the shield tighter, pig. It’s going to hurt.

The guy with the axe began to concentrate his strength and his axe was shrouded in black smoke.

When he saw it, Kang Yu’s eyes opened wide.

‘Magi…’ The power that the guy with the axe had was definitely Magi.

It was very different from Maryok.

Besides…

It’s a force that normal humans can’t possess.

Kang Yu, with a frown and a deep breath, came out from behind the trees.

It wasn’t about saving Dae Su anymore.

‘Who are those guys?’ They were people who could use Magi. Kang Yu needed to know who they were.
