Before I approach, it seems they wanted to handle my arrival first.
I prepared a decisive move, but when everything missed, I felt that despair.
Of course, there wasn’t exactly time to enjoy the moment.
“Now’s the time!”
“Yep!”
The close-range fighters, who realized too late and were trying to pounce on me, did not expect the magic staff of Dayoung to be thrust at the enemy first.
The Spectre’s Current unleashed, a massive and beautiful particle beam of magical energy cascaded toward the frontline of the raid.
“Ugh!”
“Ahhh! Scatter!”
“That’s one giant and beautiful spell, damn it!”
What’s with this? Is this a dying declaration? Save the nonsense for hell.
I was dumbfounded by the horrific cries with wording that made my head spin.
Well, I understood their feelings; it was absurd for a mage to perform long-range shooting right in front of the front lines.
Under normal circumstances, I would be torn apart without even getting ready for something like this.
I dealt a powerful blow, but I could say this level of attack was insufficient against such a vast army.
If it stops here, it can’t be called a dual hero transformation.
“Keep firing!”
“Okay!”
Dayoung poured mana into it, continuing the casting.
As long as she had remaining mana, the spell’s effect could be maintained, which was the characteristic of the Spectre’s Current.
That means I could keep dishing out particle beams as far as mana allowed.
‘Judging by Dayoung’s stats and equipment, the max duration is likely 12 seconds.’
Five seconds just passed, so I only needed seven remaining seconds.
Maintaining the charged particle beam, I twisted my body to the right.
Then….
[Hey, this sucks!]
[It’s a complete eraser!]
[Seriously, do we need to bring at least 10,000 to beat Friede forming dual heroes?]
[LOL, if we gather and fight, the server might just crash from lag.]
[Honestly, I bet those Trom peeps will nerf Supernova right after the Friede fan meeting.]
[No way, not buying that!]
I instinctively turned my gaze to the colorful chat window and ran with all my might.
Of course, Dayoung’s particle beam on my back followed my movements.
So what happens? It’s simple.
“Ugh!”
“Hey, run faster!”
“Don’t push me, Tenryeon!”
“Wouldn’t you push if that giant and beautiful pillar was coming at you?”
The raid team gets swept away by the destructive wave of the charged particle beam.
Seven seconds is a really coveted time, though for an ordinary person, it wouldn’t have that much effect.
But with the speed activated from Supernova, I had formidable destructive power capable of sweeping away all the enemies in sight.
Even as I marveled at such a cartoonish spectacle while running, I never expected this kind of scene could happen in a game called Soul Warfare.
“Sis, it’s over!”
With the magic effect disappearing, Dayoung’s shout echoed.
As I licked my lips, seeing that more than half of the enemy’s front line had been swept away, I thought to myself. I believed I had endured long enough. Now that the reason I couldn’t dive in was gone, it was time to charge in and create chaos.
I turned the direction and dove right into the gaping hole in the enemy’s ranks.
“Stop him!”
From a distance, I heard shouts likely originating from the factory, but…
‘Too late.’
As I decapitated an enemy knight with my claymore, I detected the murderous intent targeting us and jumped over the collapsing knight’s body.
While I was mid-air, I saw a giant figure looking up at me too late; I smashed my holy sword down onto its exposed head.
—Splat!
Blood spurted like a fountain, almost hitting my face through the cracked helmet.
Having my vision obscured by the splatter was merely inconvenient; it was also unsettling.
‘I’ll have to change this setting later.’
Feeling a bit embarrassed when Dayoung clutched her chest might’ve stemmed from that too.
For now, I decided to think about it later and moved toward my next target.
‘First, I need to take care of that side.’
I couldn’t keep wrestling with the armored idiots forever.
I had to obliterate the ranged attackers and mages like archers and sorcerers as soon as possible since I didn’t know when they might annoy me with covering fire again.
A small assassination squad armed with light armor and agile weapons stood in the way, but after experiencing my earlier momentum, pushing through was no trouble.
“Run away!”
“Scatter!”
“Retreat, Deshaaat!”
There were sporadic shots, but compared to the prior concentrated fire, their attacks were laughably weak and uncoordinated.
As I sidestepped arrows and mana bullets, I checked on Dayoung’s status.
Her keen eyes were clear, scanning for opportunities.
‘Good resolve.’
It seemed the awkwardness had disappeared by now. She probably had her mana restored by this time.
“I’m going in!”
Before I could even open my mouth, Dayoung’s shout reached my ears first.
With her casting finished, the staff raised high, she prepared to strike down at the clustered enemies.
The Great Magic “Pillar of Light of the Saint.”
A massive burst of light descended with the momentum to tear apart the enemies on the ground.
Now that movement was restricted to avoid hitting the landing zone, this was truly a slaughter time.
“Everyone, charge!”
While I was busy beheading the fleeing mage’s back, I spotted an unexpected figure among the late-arriving crowd.
“It’s the factory.”
Dayoung shouted, her voice tinged with excitement.
“If we catch that person, it’s over, right?”
“Yep, the war ends if either the total annihilation or the factory is destroyed.”
“Seeing them charging like that, they must know it’s over, huh?”
Given their previous display of power, it’s safe to say they’re not fools.
I didn’t have to put myself through the highly arduous task of total annihilation, which was great for me.
“Let’s go, Dayoung. It’s the final move.”
“Okay. I’ll get ready.”
I raised my holy sword high toward the approaching factory and its group.
—Ching!
The first charge echo.
The magic circle of light glimmered and vanished from the hilt, wrapping the sword in a glow of light.
Seeing it, the enemies charging in were rather invigorated.
They probably thought they could reach me before the sword fully charged.
Honestly, that judgment was probably sound.
To wipe them all out completely, I must charge up completely to level 3. With the distance now being relatively short, it made things a bit easier.
—Ching!
The second charge echo.
The aura of light enveloping the sword grew in size.
As we approached the last third charge…
“You’re dead, let’s have some fun!”
‘How shameless!’
The factory’s shout was truly a detestable parting word.
As his sword came down with the momentum to cleave my head, Dayoung’s staff burst forth with light first.
Survival Skill “Flash of Light.”
The light projecting from the staff enveloped Dayoung and me before vanishing.
When the light disappeared, what greeted me was the sight of the factory’s curved sword, swinging through empty space, and his group’s backs retreating.
And….
—Ching!
The third charge echo.
The gigantic aura finally shimmered with the holy sword’s power.
With the flashing light behind me and the distance adequate now, it was the best time to decide the victor of this battle.
“I’m going too!”
With the casting done, I pooled the last of my mana together for the final strike, and my holy sword reached out alongside Dayoung.
Holy Light Sword “Wave of Light.”
Grand Magic “Spectre’s Current.”
Two waves of different lights swept over all the enemies in front of us.
* * *
Everyone had logged off from the field, leaving only the two of us in the space.
As we took a momentary break and deactivated the broadcast, Sehee spoke first.
“Good job.”
“What did I do? You did all the work, sis.”
With Dayoung’s lips pouting in frustration, Sehee softly ruffled her hair with a smile.
Even if she said that, striking accurately at such an incredibly fast speed consumed a lot of stamina.
Unless it was the power inherent to a hero, moving in this way with a mundane body would surely bring greater fatigue.
Yet, seeing Dayoung follow along without a word made me feel proud.
Once things settled down, I finally felt the senses in my body that I had forgotten returning.
Focusing wore off, granting me some leisure to scan my surroundings.
“Ugh, by the way, it’s hot. Is it because I moved around so much?”
“Ah?!”
As I removed my armor, Dayoung screamed at Sehee’s damp upper body.
The skin-tight suit clung tightly to her, with her chest puffed out in an alluring manner.
Had it been until this point, I wouldn’t have been surprised by her size, being used to seeing my sister’s chest.
The issue was that Dayoung’s heart began to race at the sight of Sehee’s fully dampened chest.
‘This smell…’
It was the fragrance of peach.
Rich and thick enough to make my mind swirl… a sweet aroma.
Knowing full well that the source of this dampness wasn’t merely sweat. It was no wonder I was startled.
“Sis, change the settings already! Turn off all the adult modes! You’re not into anything crude or violent, right?”
Losing my composure and making this suggestion made me feel sad, but what could I do?
I really didn’t want folks conjuring up terrible fantasies seeing my beloved sister in a disheveled state.
“Ah, I see. I thought it was basic, but it seems there were specific settings available after all. No one told me.”
“I’ll explain it to you now. Look at the screen. This setting is crucial.”
I showed the setting labeled ‘Ethics Code’ and continued my explanation.
If this wasn’t deactivated, it could lead to scenarios involving other male party members activating adult modes, which could anger viewers.
By tying it to streaming, I explained it with all my heart, and Sehee smiled gently.
“Alright, I need to tweak the settings after we leave this room. Thanks.”
“It’s nothing.”
“Then, I’m heading out, so what do you plan to do?”
“Oh, I just want to take a short break. I’ll log off shortly.”
“Okay, see you later.”
“Good job, sis.”
As I watched Sehee’s figure fade away after logging off, Dayoung erupted with a long-repressed emotion.
“Ughhhhh!!! What the hell! Why are there leaks? Sis is still a virgin, isn’t she? No matter how I try to rationalize it, it doesn’t add up! I can’t keep thinking about it! What if she’s done something terrible and even had a kid? Don’t tell me she got involved with some guy? I can’t take it if that’s true!”
Wait. That can’t be. My sister wouldn’t do that. She’s not the kind of person to lie.
Yeah, it’s best to deduce this must be, like a side effect of awakening a hero bestowed by the goddess’s blessing or something.
Right. That explanation makes the most sense.
“Hah… hehehe. Yeah, that’s it.”
With her already loosened state and glazed eyes, Dayoung’s gaze was fixed on her damp palm.
It reminded her of a story she once heard from a cousin.
What was it called again? That thing about how staying unwashed for a long time would leave a foul smell in your underpants, yet getting a whiff of it could be strangely addictive?
“Was it cockaine…?”
Yeah, that name probably rang a bell.
A tale that made one laugh at the absurd blend of words.
In essence, it was like something that one didn’t need to smell but ended up doing anyway due to an unrestrained curiosity fueled by unprecedented magical power.
Dayoung realized she was presently on that very testing ground.
No, she was subjected to even greater temptations.
While cocaine can’t be consumed, this was different…
“Maybe just a tiny taste… is it okay?”
Breast milk. It’s so nutrient-rich. It’s virtual reality. Therefore, nothing bad could happen.
My mind swirled with numerous convenient justifications.
Slowly… her damp fingers ventured toward her nose.
“Hah, haha! What am I, a fool? There’s no way I would actually lick it! No way!”
While trembling, like a star getting sucked into a black hole,
she ended up inserting just one finger into her mouth.
“…!”
Her wide, astonished eyes sparkled with delight.
The rich flavor she tasted on the tip of her tongue was undeniably that of a succulent yellow peach.
It was only after she licked everything off her finger that she found her thirst quenched.
It wasn’t a ridiculous impulse; it was just… a craving.
