He was as big and as strong as Kang Heseop, who was standing next to him.
He was a manly person even at a glance.
Previously, I could hear a little about Yoon Daeho from Yerin and Jin at a Guild dinner.
They rated him as the next most influential person after guild Master Kang Heseop.
Externally, Kang Heseop’s first attack squad was known to be the guild’s best, but in reality, there seemed to be no significant difference between the first and second attack squad.
In addition, they have many potential talents in the guild, so if you look at the future growth potential, it is actually the best power of the guild.
Sehe and Taeho also seemed to have been selected as candidates for the second attack squad.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Lim Sihyeon. This is Lia, who came to help me.”
“Nice to meet you, Sihyeon. I’ve heard a lot about you and Lia. In particular, I heard that you showed great performance during the guild representative meeting.”
“Haha. What do you mean great… It was amazing…”
When I made an embarrassed face at Kang Heseop’s remark, Yoon Daeho’s lips slightly went up for a moment.
Soon, returning with a serious look, he began to explain about the mission.
“I’m going to do my job in the front, but everyone here is going to be in charge of fire support and assistance in the back. If you follow the instructions of the experienced people here, you will be able to complete the mission without much difficulty.”
Yoon Daeho briefly explained what we had to do from the back to me and Lia, who was doing this kind of a mission for the first time.
His calm and unshakable way of speaking felt reliable just by listening.
“I have some things to talk to other guilds, so I’ll go for a while. Then, see you guys later.”
He bowed his head politely once again and strode to the place where the other guild’s members were gathered.
I looked at his backside and muttered to myself,
“What a reliable person…”
Hearing my murmur, Yerin nodded and agreed.
“Right? If Uncle steps down as a guild Master someday, Captain Dae will probably become the new guild Master.”
The next guild Master of the Guardians Guild.
We only talked for a few minutes, but Captain Daeho seemed to be the right person for the position.
“Most of the people younger than me in the guild take many things for granted. But, Captain Dae isn’t like that. He’s very responsible, isn’t it amazing?”
“Huh? Really? Huh, Captain Daeho is younger than you?”
“Huh? Didn’t we talk about this at the Guild dinner? Captain Dae is a year younger than me.”
“……..???”
I opened my mouth automatically and looked blank.
He’s a year younger?
Why did I think he would be older than me?
Then, is he still in his 20s?
As if understanding how I felt, Jin smiled awkwardly.
“Captain Daeho looks a little mature for his age.”
“Ugh! What mature? He just looks old.”
Jin, who tried to wrap up the conversation smoothly, stopped talking after hearing Kang Heseop’s grumble.
“It’s because he was so young when he took the position of Captain of the attack squad. It’s a very stressful job, so naturally, you get old.”
“Come to think of it, Uncle Kang. Didn’t you take the position of the offensive squad Captain at the same age as Captain Dae?”
“Right. If I had taken the role a little later, my handsome face would have been a little longer…”
“No… Lies! Regardless of that, you had a rugged face since a long time ago.”
“What, what are you talking about? It became like this because I was stressed out running a guild. Current Korean idols will lose face in front of my looks of that time. Women flocked over wherever I went!”
“No, Lies. I’ve seen your old pictures…”
“Seo, it was because I grew a beard at those pictures. It was different when I shaved it neatly!”
While Kang Heseop was arguing with Yerin about his pride in his appearance, the time soon approached.
WHOOOOOOOOOM
WHOOOOOOOOOM
Mana began to swirl, noting the formation of Rift.
There were exclamations from the people who were watching from outside, but the Awakeners and guild officials calmly watched it.
At the time when the Rift appeared completely
“They are here!”
“Oh!”
Exclamations rose among the spectators once again.
“Angels!”
Spreading the white wings, several Angels descended from the Angel realm called Heaven.
Reporters holding cameras were busy taking pictures, and ordinary people also took out their phones and captured images of the Angels.
Among about 10 Angels who descended, there was a familiar angel, Ashmir.
Among them, the male Angel, who was standing in the front, stepped forward and said.
“I give my heartful thanks to all those Awakeners who are gathered here. I’m a member of Feistar surveillance team. My name is Kirwen.”
His voice sounded clear as if he was speaking from right next to me, even though he was standing a little far away.
He continued his speech with an expressionless face and a hard tone unique to that of Angels.
“We found anomalies in the Rift that opened now, and we called together a group of people with outstanding performance. If this Rift is not removed in time, the dimension you exist can be in great danger.”
I muttered with a look of a little incomprehension as I listened to Kirwen.
“If it’s such a big risk, why aren’t you guys helping? I thought they’d do anything for the balance of the dimension….”
“They say they can’t directly help in a situation like this because that’s their rule.”
It is said that the Angels follow strict rules to keep the balance of dimensions, but sometimes their actions felt very illogical.
It seems like they put more effort into following the set-out rules rather than keeping the balance of the dimension.
As I thought about the nature of the Angels, Kirwen’s speech was coming to an end.
“Then I wish you all the best of luck.”
Finishing his words, he opened the way for the Rift with other Angels.
Each Awakeners naturally began to prepare to enter the Rift.
“Have a safe trip.”
“Uncle Kang, Sayonara.”
“Bye, guild master.”
We headed to the side where the Rift was open, after receiving Kang Heseop’s farewell.
About 50 people gathered in their respective positions.
“Then I’ll enter.”
With someone’s cry, Awakeners started entering the Rift one after another.
We were relatively in the rear, so we had some time to enter.
I stared blankly at the Rift for a brief moment.
On the surface, it was no different from the usual Rifts I’ve seen before.
However, as we approached the Rift, unknown anxiety grew deep inside me little by little.
As my expression hardened with the unknown anxiety, I felt someone looking at me.
I turned my head in the direction where I felt someone’s gaze, unconsciously.
At the end of my sight, there was Angel Kirwen looking at me.
‘Was it just a coincidence that our eyes met? Or am I mistaken?’
The mysterious feeling in Kirwen’s eyes was enough to confuse me for a moment.
“…Brother Si.”
“…Sihyeon. Lim Sihyeon!”
“Uh…….Uh?”
I was surprised and escaped from my own world by the call of Yerin.
“It’s our turn to go in.”
“Uh… yeah.”
She burst out laughing at me answering a little dimly.
“Hahahaha! Are you nervous? Don’t worry, the great Yerin will take care of everything for you. Trust me and follow me.”
Yerin intentionally exaggerated and talked to relieve my tension.
Thanks to that, I was able to smirk and forget the strange feeling a little.
“It’s all right now. Let’s go in.”
“Let’s go.”
We stepped towards the Rift.
Entering the Rift, we met a series of powerful enemies that we had never seen before, and we did not fight as our lives depend on it.
Rather, it was so peaceful that I felt bored compared to when I entered other Rifts.
Are this thanks to the gathering of a lot of talented people?
There were several battles, but we in the rear didn’t have a chance to step up.
Our mission was to defend against possible attacks from the rear and support the battle on the front lines, but most of the battles ended blandly because of the strong power of Awakeners.
Except for Jin’s magic support for firepower a few times, we really didn’t do anything.
I felt a little sorry for Lia, following me as an escort for such a mission.
Still, it was fun to see other Awakeners’ skills.
Among them, Captain Daeho’s skills were very good.
His weapon was a big sword. The big sword was brandished freely and completely destroyed the attacking monsters.
Just watching the relentless battle made me feel like I had an adrenaline rush.
Repeating the fighting and resting, the party headed deeper into the Rift.
It was really a smooth progress without any accidents, but there was still anxiety in my mind that I couldn’t shake off.
“Sihyeon,”
Lia whispered approaching me.
“Huh, Lia?”
“Is there anything you’re worried about? You don’t seem good…”
Lia found out that I was different from my usual self and looked worried.
I hesitated for a moment because I didn’t know what to explain, and then confessed what I was feeling right now.
“It’s not that I’m worried about something. I don’t know why, but I keep feeling anxious. This Rift feels more ominous than usual….”
“Is that so? I don’t know anything about Rifts because I’ve never been to one before. Should I ask others?”
“No, it’s okay. I guess I’m a little nervous.”
I waved my hands and said I was fine.
Lia nodded her head at my vague expression.
I didn’t want to shake the good atmosphere for no reason at a time when the mission was going smoothly.
I guess it might be because I wasn’t doing anything.
Contrary to my anxiety, the mission progressed smoothly, and we quickly reached the place where the boss of the Rift was.
