Chapter 90 – Father and Son (2)
“Found it.”
An Yu-seong finally spotted Chairman An Moo-seok’s vehicle and increased his speed.
-Vrooom!
The loud exhaust sound shook the road. At the same time, the signal coming from Chairman An Moo-seok was cut off.
“So they finally noticed.”
It was fortunate, if anything.
If the signal had been cut off even a little earlier, it would have been difficult to find them.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, he felt magic gathering in front of him.
“You want to get serious now?”
As the battle began, An Yu-seong seemed to become calmer instead. Complicated thoughts are unnecessary in battle. You only need to focus on surviving and killing the enemy.
-Screech!
As a pit of fire was created, An Yu-seong sharply turned the steering wheel.
-Boom!
A loud noise erupted as the magic exploded next to the vehicle.
He faintly heard a voice saying, “He dodged that!?”
The enemies’ surprise was natural.
It’s virtually impossible to dodge flames flying towards you in a vehicle going nearly 200km/h.
It was a feat possible only for a select few people like An Yus-eong who could anticipate and calculate everything in advance.
“This is fun!”
An Yu-seong smiled and increased his speed again.
The two vehicles were so close that they could see each other’s eyes.
Through the window, he could see his father’s expression, which was unreadable.
“Huh?”
For a moment, he saw the guys in the back seat pull something out.
It was a gun.
-Screech, Crash!
Before they could aim their guns, An Yu-seong swerved and rammed into their vehicle.
“This crazy bastard!”
The voices of the shocked enemies could be heard.
-Ratatata!
That’s when it happened.
Along with the sound of gunfire from behind, the glass windows shattered.
It seemed the enemies were split up in at least five vehicles.
“I should take care of those first.”
An Yu-seong smiled wickedly and cast a magic shield.
“Magic Shield.”
A basic and popular skill.
Originally, its purpose was simply to block enemy attacks.
Even then, it would break helplessly if it received even a slightly strong impact.
But An Yu-seong’s utilization surpassed the common sense of ordinary people.
-Vroom!
Vehicle jump ramp.
An Yu-seong cast a magic shield diagonally on the asphalt road he had just passed.
The magic shield, which should have shattered upon collision with the vehicle, created a miracle when laid low on the ground with a slight incline.
“Ahhh!”
“We’re flying!”
The enemies’ vehicles that passed over the magic shield flew through the air as if they had gone over a vehicle jump ramp.
-Crash!
Of course, since he had also added variations to the slope of the magic shield, the vehicles spun madly like a rotating ball and crashed outside the road.
“What was that? What kind of skill is that?!”
-Boom, Bang!
It’s a common magic shield.
This feat was possible because An Yu-seong had been flying through the air using magic shields from the beginning.
It’s an eccentricity that ordinary people could never utilize even if they knew the method.
The enemies disappeared one by one, not knowing what had hit them.
“Using guns when you’re supposed to be an ability user, and in South Korea of all places.”
An Yu-seong grinned after dealing with the lawless threats to South Korea.
“How long do you plan to keep driving like this?! Why don’t we get out and settle this?”
“Aaargh! What are you all doing against that blood clot of a kid!?”
Kim Jun-yong let out a scream, unable to contain his anger.
“Guild Master. We’ve almost arrived at the destination. There are guild members waiting there, so please be patient for a little longer.”
“Huff…”
Kim Jun-yong caught his breath at the guild member’s words.
“Time seems to be running short. Thanks to that bastard, we’ve drawn too much attention. Got it?!”
“Yes… I’ll proceed as quickly as possible.”

Seoraksan Mountain in Hong cheon, Gangwon-do.
It was about 80km away from Gangnam where An Yu-seong had been, a distance that would normally take about an hour and a half.
But An Yu-seong arrived here in just fifty minutes.
His license suspension was almost certain.
“So it’s a dungeon after all?”
He could see the entrance to a huge dungeon.
There were dozens of ability users waiting for him there, armed with weapons.
The guys who were with Chairman An Moo-seok seemed to have already entered the dungeon.
“I’m in a hurry, so could you move aside?”
“Your jokes are going too far. Don’t think you’ll enter alive.”
The one who seemed to be the leader spat out in response to An Yu-seong’s words.
“Well, I wasn’t really expecting much when I said that.”
As An Yu-seong spoke, he threw a dagger. Then he immediately took out a new dagger from his inventory and repeated the throwing.
The method of taking out a new dagger and gripping it in his hand as soon as one dagger left his hand. In the blink of an eye, dozens of daggers flew towards the enemies.
-Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
With a B-grade weapon skill, the daggers flew towards the enemies foreheads without a single error.
“This petty trick!”
At the moment the enemies were blocking and dodging the daggers, An Yu-seong, who had accelerated his body, was already right in front of them.
“Uh, ugh…!”
-Crunch!
An Yu-seong, who had planted a mace in the face of the surprised enemy, pulled out a shield.
-Boom!
“What kind of crazy bastard is this! I told you not to use area magic!”
The enemies launched area magic at An Yu-seong despite the presence of their comrades.
But An Yu-seong, who had anticipated this, calmly blocked the attack and used a skill.
‘Magic Shield.’
In an instant, a slanted magic shield was created under the feet of the enemy approaching An Yu-seong.
“Ugh?!”
The enemy who stepped on the sloped magic shield lost his balance and staggered. As a result, the spear he was wielding was directed towards his comrade next to him.
“Argh! What are you doing?!”
While the enemies were flustered, An Yu-seong quickly dove in.
And he amiably planted daggers in the enemies’ chins.
“Gurgle…”
The enemies’ eyes widened in shock, and blood flowed from their mouths.
An Yu-seong gradually fell into a trance.
An enemy using magic in the distance.
A dagger leaves his hand.
He doesn’t need to confirm the result.
He had already disrupted the enemy’s balance with his skill, so the enemy couldn’t dodge.
Naturally, the dagger was lodged in the flailing enemy’s nape.
An Yu-seong didn’t even check the result and immediately lowered his posture while raising his shield.
Magic passes over his head, and several weapons fall on the shield.
-Clang!
A heavy impact pressed down on his arm.
At that moment, An Yu-seong had already pulled out a hand Ax and gripped it.
From his lowered stance, An Yu-seong swung the hand Ax and struck between the armor of one of the enemies.
“Arghhhh!”
-Thud!
And with the force of standing up, he swung his shield and struck the enemy’s face.
Where the enemy fell, there was already a sharp magic shield in place.
That sharp-edged thing, which could no longer be called a shield, pierced into the falling enemy’s eye.
-Whoosh, whoosh!
A sword and a large Ax flew at him again.
The Ax is slow and easy to dodge.
He moved his body towards the AX, narrowly avoiding it, and used the Ax to block the sword’s path.
Simultaneously, he thrust a dagger taken from his inventory into the inside of the enemy’s elbow.
It was an unavoidable choice as other vital points were protected by hard metal.
“You rat bastard!”
The enemy must have been quite tough, as he immediately drew another weapon.
But in that interval, An Yu-seong, who had pulled out a mace, struck the enemy’s head.
-Boom!
The enemy’s head, along with the helmet, crumpled like a can.
Even the tough guy couldn’t withstand that impact and collapsed.
An Yu-seong kicked him away before he could fully fall.
The enemy who was about to swing his sword hesitated as he caught his flying comrade.
-Swoosh!
An Yu-seong immediately turned around and threw a dagger.
Another enemy who was about to shoot an arrow dodged the dagger in shock.
“Phew…”
The archer sighed in relief as the dagger narrowly missed.
However, another dagger that flew in succession pierced through the enemy’s cheek.
-Thud!
“Aaaaaargh!”
He planted a mace in the face of the enemy writhing in pain.
“Haah…”
An Yu-seong caught his breath for a moment.
Time taken so far: 15 seconds.
In just 15 seconds, seven ability users had died.
Wind blew across the quiet mountainside, and shock and silence froze the air.
“This is fun.”
An Yu-seong said with a grin.
The enemies faces completely stiffened.
“Mo-monster…”
A few enemies, overcome with fear, stepped back.
“Damn it, what are you doing! Don’t be cowards, you bastards! Are you really the Kangshin Guild?!”
The enemies leader shouted desperately.
“Attack all at once!”
“Uwaaaaah!”
Kangshin is not an ordinary guild.
Those who don’t follow the orders of the executives die.
Escape is not allowed either.
If they were going to die anyway, they had no choice but to bet on the option with slightly higher odds.
“Die!”
The enemies began to charge in with their reason completely paralyzed.
The area magic that had stopped also started to pour in again.
They seemed not to care about sacrificing their comrades if it meant killing An Yu-seong.
“You should have done this from the start.”
An Yu-seong’s blood-stained mace cut through the air,
-Crunch!
New blood was added on top of the dried bloodstains.

“So, what we see here is Chairman An Moo-seok’s location, right? And An Yu-seong is chasing after this.”
“Yes.”
At Shin Seong-a’s answer, Kang Hyeon hurriedly ran to the car.
“What are you doing! We’re going after them right now!”
Shin Tae-gil took the wheel again, and Kang Hyeon and Shin Seong-a got in the back seat.
“How long do you think it will take to catch up?”
“Considering the distance they’ve moved and the time, they’re moving at a very high speed. It will probably be difficult to catch up.”
“Damn it! Let’s go anyway!”
Shin Tae-gil stepped hard on the accelerator and the vehicle shot forward.
“Mr. Kang Hyeon. Here, this…”
“What’s this?”
Suddenly, Shin Seong-a handed a smartphone to Kang Hyeon.
A breaking news report was streaming on it.
-This scene, reminiscent of a battlefield, is at Bridge 1 on the Seoul-Yangyang Expressway.
Currently, a group is engaged in a car chase, and in the process, there are multiple casualties and 8 vehicles completely destroyed.
These individuals are identified as members of the renowned domestic ability user organization, Kangshin Guild, and they are currently kidnapping Chairman An Moo-seok of Hyesung Group…
Shin Tae-gil’s expression darkened as he heard the news.
“Sigh, another major incident so soon…”
“Cheer up. That’s why we’re going to resolve it now.”
Kang Hyeon smiled and offered a not-quite-comforting comfort to Shin Tae-gil.
“By the way, Kangshin Guild… Isn’t that where Chairman An Moo-seok has been investing recently?”
“That’s right. I’ve even met them before.”
“What?”
Shin Tae-gil was surprised at Kang Hyeon’s words.
“Mr. Kang Hyeon. Don’t tell me you’ve done something again?”
“Damn it. Why do you say it like that? I just met them because of some circumstances, and this has nothing to do with me!”
It was then.
Shin Seong-a suddenly started to panic. She tapped on her smartphone repeatedly and then wore a dejected expression.
“What? What’s the matter?”
“The signal has been cut off.”
“What?”
“The location is no longer being displayed.”
“Haah…”
Kang Hyeon sighed and roughly ran his hand through his hair.
“We have to keep going for now. We’re still far from the point shown in the news. And turn the car around! It’s probably going to be very congested there.”
“That was the plan.”
For a while after that, there was no conversation.
Everyone was lost in their own thoughts, with only the noise of the speeding vehicle filling the surroundings.
‘It’s a problem even if we arrive at the point where the signal was cut off.’
There was no way to know how far they had moved on the highway.
There was no information at all, and the breaking news seemed to be repeating the same scenes without any new information.
“Mr. Kang Hyeon!”
Suddenly, Shin Seong-a shouted.
“I got a text message. It’s from Mr. An Yu-seong.”
“What? Where does it say?”
“It says Seoraksan.”
“You heard that? Step on it!”
The remaining distance was 25km. It was a winding mountain road, but if they moved quickly, they could arrive within 20 minutes.
“Hold on tight!”
Shin Tae-gil said and pressed hard on the accelerator.
The vehicle’s speedometer was already showing over 180km/h.
