Ahead of the final battle, all personnel had a short break.
I didn’t do anything, and it’s already the final battle. It felt surreal that we came all the way here so easily.
I asked Yerin who was next to me.
“I’m sorry for the guys who are fighting hard in front, but doesn’t it feel too easy for an Angel mission?”
“It doesn’t have to be a difficult one just because it’s an Angel mission.”
“Well… That’s true, but…,”
Jin, who was sitting nearby and resting, smiled and added an explanation.
“It may feel easier because the Awakeners that are participating are top-tier. The monsters that we’ve dealt so far are a formidable enemy for normal Awakeners.”
“Is that so?”
I nodded with an expression that I was somewhat convinced by Jin’s explanation.
When we were talking leisurely, Yoon Daeho, who was in front of us, approached us.
Jin was the first to see him approaching and called out to him.
“Oh? Captain Daeho.”
“I came to talk about the last battle. Before that, do you have any problems in the back?”
Yerin replied playfully to Yoon Daeho’s question.
“Thanks to Captain Dae’s performance in the front, we have nothing to do. It’s boring. How about doing it a little moderately?”
Yoon Daeho replied with a faint smile.
“Did you? Still, you’ll have plenty of chances to go wild in the last battle. The men who just went out to patrol came back with information, and it looks it will be quite a troublesome enemy.”
He gave the information that the scouts brought.
“The last enemy is said to be a giant mushroom-shaped monster. It appears to be a monster that attacks using its poison, and additionally, small mushroom monsters are guarding it.”
“It’s poison… That must be a little troublesome.”
Yoon Daeho nodded at Jin’s words.
“Each of us has a detoxifying potion, but if the battle gets prolonged, the damage will continue to increase. After a short conversation with other guilds, we decided to end the battle quickly.”
It seemed like while some of the prominent Awakeners attack the giant mushroom monster, the rest of the crew would be dealing with the surrounding small monsters.
Except for Yoon Daeho and Jin, we seemed to be in the group that attacks the small monsters.
“Sihyeon.”
“Yes?”
“I heard that you can use a powerful buff using your summons. So far, we haven’t needed much, but it would be helpful in the last battle. So can you…?”
“Sure, I’ll prepare it right away.”
“Thank you. It might be a little hectic during the last battle. If possible, please follow the instructions of Yerin.”
He carefully took care of the guild members before the last battle. I couldn’t believe he was one year younger than me.
I immediately took the summoning stone out of my pocket.
It was a new summoning stone that was given to me as soon as I was deployed to the Angel mission this time.
WURRRRR
As if responding to my call, the summoning stone began to resonate.
After a while, a strong beam of light poured out, taking on two small shapes.
Pow wo woooo
“Hi, Popi!”
Summon Akum and Summon Gyuri who appeared after a long time hugged me straight away as usual as soon as they saw me.
Guild members who had already met the two children smiled happily, and only Yoon Daeho opened his eyes wide.
“Sihyeon, are these guys your summons?”
“Yes, this cute furry guy is Akum. This is Gyuri.”
– Pow woooooo.
“I’m Gyuri, popi!”
“Uh… Uh… An… Hello.”
It felt refreshing to watch Yoon Daeho, who was unwavering like an iron wall in the battle, shaken by the appearance of the children.
“As I heard, Sihyeon’s summons are really very unique.”
“Hahaha! I hear that a lot.”
After a small laugh at his evaluation, I immediately asked the children for help.
“Guys. In a little while, the people here are going to fight the bad guys. Can you help them stay strong?”
“Okay, Popi! Leave it to me, Popi!”
Pow wo wooo wooo!
Gyuri soared into the sky with a confident expression on her face, and then she flew around quickly while sprinkling fairy dust.
[Fairy dust takes effect.]
[Magic stat increases.]
[Magic attack increases]
[Magic attack resistance increases.]
[Agility increases.]
[Status abnormality resistance increases.]
At the same time, Akum also started to dance.
[Baby Yakum’s cheering takes effect]
[Physical strength increases]
[Resistance increases]
[Physical attack resistance increases]
[Magic attack resistance increases]
[Status abnormality resistance increases]
Everyone’s body began to shine with subtle light.
And as the number of stats rose sharply in an instant, people from all over the place responded with surprise.
“Wow! What’s this all of a sudden?”
“Who, who has this incredible buff skill?”
“Who the hell is it?”
People quickly confirmed the effectiveness of buffs, but they didn’t seem to notice who used them.
Gyuri, who worked hard to sprinkle fairy dust, returned with a tired look.
“Phew! I put too much fairy dust, Popi! I’m so tired, Popi.”
“Gyuri, you did a great job. Go in and rest for a while.”
“Ugh…”
After praising Gyuri for her hard work, I put her in my shirt pocket so that she could rest for a while.
Seeing that, Akum clung to my leg, asking me to compliment him.
– Poo-woo. Poo woo wooo.
“Yes yes. My dear Akum also worked hard.”
When I gently patted his fur and praised him, Akum smiled satisfactorily.
Fortunately, Akum seemed to be full of energy compared to Gyuri.
I asked Yoon Daeho, who looked this way with a blank face.
“Captain Daeho. Will this help?”
“YES, of course! It will be of tremendous help. It’s completely beyond my expectations. With this kind of effect, it’d be better if it wasn’t known.”
He showed a bit of excitement for the first time and nodded his head in succession.
I felt proud on the inside because I felt like I did something useful being on this mission.
After the strategy was delivered to all personnel, they immediately began to move for the final battle.
A giant mushroom monster could be seen from afar.
Around the monster, small mushroom monsters were hovering around as if escorting the big one.
They don’t seem to have the ability to sense the presence, so they didn’t react even when we got close enough.
Everyone prepared to attack while approaching the monster as close as possible.
There was a moment of silence around…
“Everyone! ATTACK”
All the Awakeners began to attack with someone’s cry from the front.
