Chapter 99: The Dignity Of Rank S (7)

“Ahh. This is [Pupa]. Snow White has secured October Travel’s private jet. It’s currently tethered at the airport. And... she’s in a standoff with the Goblin now.”

S-class hero Tae Irin sipped from a fortified drink through a straw atop the airport building, where the airport runway was visible, reporting the spectacle before her eyes to the Taegeuk Watch.

“Snow White has spread a barrier, and the Goblin is trapped inside. It seems we got him properly today.”

[Is, is that so! Then we can arrest the Goblin today?!]

“I’m not sure. The Goblin always escapes well.”

Tae Irin yawned deeply with a tired face and looked at the screen of the Taegeuk Watch.

Her dark circles were slightly pronounced.

Her curled black bob was a little shaggy, probably from staying up all night, and there were dark circles under her eyes.

Even if you were an S-class ability user, staying up day and night without proper sleep was exhausting.

[I beg you, Irin. I know it’s unfair to ask you to clean up after that guy every time he causes trouble...!]

“Isn’t it the fault of his parents that he grew up like that, not the fault of his grandfather.”

[.......]

“It’s okay. Our grandfather took care of us. But what are you going to do about October Travel?”

[It ends when we secure the genes of the founder. It’s hard to punish legally, and if the founder is found to have done such a thing, the founder will also be criticized.]

The side that caused the problem was Yuliana of October Travel, but the prestige of an S-class hero was at stake here.

No matter how much the hero had the image of a mischievous child, this kind of accident was a problem directly related to the national image, not just the hero.

[I beg you. Arrest Yuliana and reclaim the genes by all means. You wouldn’t want hundreds of nephews popping up out of nowhere, either.]

“Yes, that’s right. Without parents...no, there would be a mother. Well, there’s no need to say much. I’ll arrest her as soon as that barrier is released.”

Tae Irin covered the Taegeuk Watch with her hand and stopped the call.

“...I can’t miss this awesome match.”

She hadn’t properly seen the earlier part as she was reporting, but the battle between the two S-class individuals was gradually escalating.

“Wow...!”

White wings spread out from behind Snow White.

The ice feathers were each a potent lethal blade, and the Goblin stepped back slightly at the sight.

“Indeed, it’s my unni.”

The Goblin can’t escape easily, either.

It didn’t matter if it was the Goblin. If an S-Class had been setting traps for the past 30 minutes and fighting in that same place, he wouldn’t be able to suddenly disappear with that strange ability.

“This time, I will definitely find out.”

Teleportation?

Invisibility?

Spatial movement?

Time leap?

No matter what the ability, the Goblin will definitely figure out an ability and use it to vanish without a trace after the battle.

“... The only one who can find that out among the S-Class is me. So, I have to find out. This time, for sure....”

Tae Irin suppressed her fatigue with caffeine in her tonic and braced herself.

It was very tiring to ‘fly’ here from Gangwon Province, but she woke herself up by tapping her cheek with her hand, determined to uncover the true nature of the Goblin.

“Ah!”

During a momentary burst of sleep, Snow White’s attack turned into a failure.

The Goblin caused an explosion by sprinkling fire on the ice feathers, and the ice feathers that were rushing toward the Goblin quickly fell down.

“If it becomes like that...! Ah, as expected. My sister isn’t the kind to end it there.”

Snow White immediately retrieved the ice feathers, flew towards the explosion, and created a giant iceberg.

Meteor?

Rather, wouldn’t it be closer to a glacier?

“Wow, my sister is amazing.”

With just a few gestures, Snow White created a huge glacier and threw it.

No matter how much of an S-class hero you were, it looked obvious that if you took that as it was, you would be crushed under the glacier and unable to move.

Was he avoiding?

If the Goblin avoided it, would he trigger that disappearance ability again?

She would definitely watch.

Tae Irin stared directly at the front with wide eyes and-

“Huh?”

She saw it.



“Do you see those people? They’re all glued to the airport windows, watching us.”

Just as Snow White said, everyone at Yangyang Airport was aiming their smartphones, and Taegeuk Watches out of the windows, filming the battle.

[It will be talked about that October Travel’s private jet was tied up like this.]

“October Travel can’t dare to tell the truth openly either unless this woman here goes around blabbing.”

[I see. But, you’re overlooking one thing.]

I pointed to the airplane caught in the ice net.

[After all, a troll tends to appear more often and more frequently against heroes than villains.]

“...!”

The place where Snow White stood began to tremble.

The airplane tried to ignite its engine forcibly even while tied in the ice net.

“What, what is this...?!”

[It seems like they’ve forcibly ignited the airplane’s engine from inside. Now, what will you do? If you keep using your power, the engine will overheat and... the airplane will explode.]

“This damn...!”

Snow White spat out some harsh words.

“Hey! Turn off the engine! Now!”

[Didn’t you operate the net separately? If you release the airplane, does this side also get released? It’s a shame. I didn’t intend it, but... I guess I should thank Yuliana.]

I was half serious.

Thud, thud!

The turbine tried to rotate, but the airplane kept being suppressed, and I could physically feel the heat rising from near the engine.

[What will you do? Will you break the barrier, or will you keep me trapped in this battlefield by maintaining the barrier?]

“Tch...!”

[Next time, make a separate barrier. Or rather than using your ability to catch the airplane, use some other method...]

Suddenly.

A loud noise came from behind.

Kyaaoooᅳᅳᅳᅳ!!

The sound of a scrap metal dragon roaring.

“Ah...!”

Snow White let out an exclamation and laughed, and I let out a sigh involuntarily.

[Even rotten S-classes are S-classes, huh.]

“Come hereᅳᅳᅳᅳ!!”

The cause of all this chaos.

“Come hereᅳᅳᅳᅳ!!”

Armored Taejo arrived at Yangyang Airport, riding the flying scrap metal dragon.

“Iron Dragon, take flight! I, have arrived!!”

Vroom.

With each propulsion of his suit attached to the scrap metal dragon, Armored Taejo maneuvered the flying dragon directly, pointing at the airplane.

“Sister! I will take care of Yuliana Faygreen! You handle the Goblin!!”

[Tch.]

The net that had tied the airplane was released.

At the same time, Snow White jumped down from the airplane and charged at me, and the scrap metal dragon clung to the airplane’s neck as if to bite it.

Uwoooᅳᅳᅳ.

The airplane’s engine stopped.

The scrap metal dragon wrapped around the airplane like a whirlwind.

Behind me, the ice net disappeared.

I took a big leap backward from my spot, but Snow White, with ice feathers stuck in both hands like daggers, didn’t intend to let me go.

“It’s over, Goblin!!”

If things were going this way-

Unfortunately.

[5 minutes have passed.]

A huge pillar of fire poured down on me.

The fire pillar turned into a whirlwind surrounding me, protecting me.

Rrrrr.

Along with a tiger-like roar.
