After Returning, My Abilities are Infinite

Chapter 25: The First Plague (4)

The First Plague (4)

“We’re almost there… the boy… there’s only one child who’s been in for years…”

“…”

“Children don’t last a long time, but this child is just holding on to it. Everyone is interested in his awakening,” the guide explained as he led us.

“If you say something else without me asking, you die, too.” Yeon-soo warned him.

“Sorry, sorry, Queen!”

According to the guide, Seong Hyun-woo was attracting attention within the Natasha family. A child who has survived many years in an experiment that even adults can’t stand. Even though the stress was extreme, he was a boy who was steadily building up mental fatigue without any major problems.

Upon reaching the other cells, Han Yeon-soo took the lead.

The Kraken jumped out of her shadow, killing all the villains in the area before they could even react.

Then, the victims who were incarcerated were rescued.

[In the memory of the user ‘Jeong Si-woo,’ I found an existence that met the conditions.]

[Link succeeded.]

Kuwook!

I felt my power of holding the shield turn incredibly stronger…

?I won’t turn my back. ?

[Indomitable Guardian]

Link has risen to level D sometime ago. I could link up to D-class beings now… but this being is better suited to the situation.

“Si-woo! Esper’s ability! How do you plan to stop it with a shield?”

Han Yeon-soo shouted. She was correct. The shield is more suited to physical attacks. However, an Esper’s ability is also a kinetic force. It was invisible, but an attack nonetheless.

?I have never stepped back. I cannot step back. ?

?If I step back, people depending on me will be torn apart. ?

If I crush this shield against that invisible Esper line of attack…

I used my observational power to calculate the trajectory of the kinetic force radiating from Hyun-woo.

Here it goes…

[‘The Unbreakable Shield (D)’ is activated.]

[This shield will never break as long as it is being attacked.]

Teeing-!

I placed the shield against the empty air, and with it, an intense trembling shook the place.

“… Uh?”

[You succeeded in blocking an attack.]

The shield was fine without even a single crack.

[… Is there something that you can’t do?]

Only

My mouth, hidden behind the shield, curled up in a smile.

I know, right, I replied to the Traveler.

[It’s fun to watch. But from a spectating standpoint, I want to see you get in trouble even once.]

I’m sorry, but it won’t happen.

I enjoyed the sensation against my muscles as I began to block Seong Hyun-woo’s attacks one after another.

T-ing, Ting-!

A clear metal sound rang out every time his invisible attacks gets blocked by my shield.
