Chapter 28 A United Front (3)

Near the department store JaeHyun had been shopping at a moment ago,

Ahn Seok-Gu and Ahn HoYeon could be seen browsing through items.

This and this one. And that one as well. Please wrap all of them up.

Do we need to buy that much?

As Ahn Seok-Gu picked a lot of items, HoYeon asked with a worried expression. Their family was recently doing very well financially, so he felt worried since the money that was earned was all being spent on himself.

But Seok-Gu simply nodded with no regard to his worry.

Everything will be of use to you. You mustnt think it's a waste. Besides, you will be earning double this money after a while. If you become an S-rank Raider, this much will be nothing.

Even so. Youre having a hard time because of me Mother is also having difficulties.

Thats for me to worry about. Dont let it bother you, just focus on training.

That was what Ahn Seok-Gu had said, but he didnt look concerned in the least. HoYeon sighed and bowed his head powerlessly.

Father regards me as a tool. A tool that would be thrown away if it doesnt become an S-rank raider. Must I continue to live like this in the future?

He knew that he shouldnt be thinking such thoughts. But what could he do when his resolve kept weakening?

From the moment his father found out he had talent as a raider, he was forced to train.

At first, it was fine. He was a ray of light to a family that was dirt poor. His mother was elated when she found out that he had talent as a raider.

However, it wasnt like that now.

He couldnt remember why he wanted to become a raider anymore.

He was simply living a life of robotically training repeatedly. It had been a long time since he lost all his noble goals and values.

Nowadays, praise from others simply goes in one ear and comes out the other.

How many more years did he have to keep training and crossing swords with others before this kind of life ended?

Ahn HoYeon probably wouldnt be able to escape from this life until he took his last breath as a raider.

If so, what did it mean to be a raider?

Was it simply someone who hunted monsters and stole treasure from dungeons?

No. That was all wrong.

Raiders were people who helped others. It was a noble profession wherein they helped people in crises and saved lives.

But nowadays, people considered raiders to be idols who played with death.

Appearing on TV laughing and chattering. Not wanting to enter low-level dungeons that didnt earn them a lot of money.

Were these people who were desperately running after money truly raiders?

I know. My current thoughts are too immature.

Ahn HoYeon understood how things were. Nothing in this world moved without money.

That fact didnt change even in the present world where monsters had appeared.

Father Ill come back after resting for a moment. The training from yesterday seems to have tired me out a bit.

Ok. Ill finish up quickly and go back. Wait somewhere close to the station.

Okay.

Ahn Seok-Gu nodded his head.

Although he had yelled at his son yesterday, the opponent was still a cadet about to graduate from Millaes Academy. Not being tired would be stranger.

Bowing his head as if to a stranger, HoYeon left.

Walking down the shabby roads by the shop and going inside a little bit, he could see a fountain.

We used to come here often before Mom got sick.

Of course, the past he was reminiscing on was more than 10 years ago.

It was before his mother had to be hospitalized.

At the time, Ahn HoYeon was still young and reckless.

I was really happy back then.

Those words had come from the bottom of his heart. In the past, even though he didnt receive this much attention from others, he was happy.

But what about now?

Look over there. Isnt that Ahn HoYeon?

Ah~ That Combat genius?

I didnt think Id see him at a place like this.

Although he had adapted to the flashes of the camera, he was already like a monkey at a zoo. No, he felt he had become an existence even lower than that.

but he was fighting against the monsters by himself.

Is that Lightning Chain ?! What on earth is happening right now?

Ahn HoYeon couldnt believe what he was seeing. Normally, when a dungeon break like this occurred, Warrior-raiders were first assigned rather than Magician-raiders.

Magicians had trouble quickly defeating monsters since incanting in a rush was difficult, and if several didnt gather together, their power would drastically decrease.

But what the hell was this guy in front of his eyes?

Although he was a Magician, he was incanting at a rapid pace and killing monsters left and right.

A guy who looked around his age was able to do such a thing.

Of course, just in terms of attack power, Magic is stronger than Combat. But incanting always holds Magicians back in a fast-paced situation like an actual fight. But for that guy theres almost no casting delay. Is this really possible?

Bzzzzzt!

The chain flowing with lightning was floating around JaeHyun as it killed the monsters. With a loud bang, the goblins heads exploded one after another.

Cleaning up the monsters on the street took about a minute. JaeHyun walked toward Ahn HoYeon without letting his guard down.

Tag. Okay, now that were done playing Freeze Tag, you should also help.

And you are?

Now isnt the time for that. Youre a Warrior, right? I need your help.

At JaeHyuns words, HoYeon thought for a moment. What kind of help could he give to such a powerful guy?

But the rest of his words were enough to make Ahn HoYeon move.

It would be difficult for me to take care of all the goblins alone like this. I need the skill Taunt .

Quickly nodding his head, HoYeon stood behind JaeHyun and gathered his mana. No matter how strong JaeHyun was, it didnt mean that he had eyes on the back of his head.

If a few goblins escaped from here, the streets would quickly run with blood.

The other guy had planned up to that point and came to him to ask him to use the Taunt skill.

That meant that there was no reason to hesitate.

The reason he came here was also to stop the death of innocent passers-by.

Ahn HoYeon nodded his head as he looked at JaeHyun.

If I can be of help.

Active skill Taunting Roar has been activated.

Monsters in a 50m radius are watching you.

30% of Magic & Physical attack damage has decreased.

The moment he activated the skill, a red light started to wrap around Ahn HoYeons body. JaeHyun smiled as he watched HoYeon activate his skill.

As expected of Ahn HoYeon. He really has great talent as a Warrior.

Ahn HoYeon had quickly gathered his mana and activated Taunting Roar ,

a skill that made him the focus of all monsters within a 50m radius of himself.

JaeHyun carefully observed the path of the approaching monsters.

Remember. We cant allow these things to go to the square.

Yes!

Contrary to his petrified expression a moment ago, Ahn HoYeon was now filled with confidence. Although he was still sweating and his legs were still shaking, his posture was quite alright.

That was probably what talent was.

JaeHyun suddenly realized how important luck was in life.

Those who didnt have anything kept being poor, and those who were rich continued to increase their worth. This was the life humans experienced after the Yggdrasil rose and monsters appeared.

And he was someone who had the interest of a god at the highest peak of that luck.

Lets go, then!

At JaeHyuns words, Ahn HoYeon quickly took out a shield from his inventory and equipped it.

Yeah. This is what a raider is. What I have to do is save people.

It was the moment a bright light shone from Ahn HoYeons melancholic face.
