Before he could even rest a flow of new portal open up bigger then last , he have to get on the job once more , shi yoon just creat a portal back up the same roof , but then the sticky , and dangerous monster start flying towards him with a lot more power then the other.
The gap between the rooftops blurred as Shi Yoon channeled raw Soul Energy, turning his sprint into a controlled missile trajectory. His focus was a needle point: Seo-Jun was less than two hundred meters from the incursion, and the A.S. Alpha-Unit was already establishing a foothold.
He landed hard on the roof of the library annex, the sound muffled by his reinforced boots. Below, the Alpha-Unit was spectacular and horrifying: a gargantuan insectoid carapace, shifting and rippling like polished mercury, radiating pure dimensional cold. It had already lashed out, incinerating a nearby lamppost and scattering civilians—most running blindly, their eyes unable to register the colossal threat.
"Reaper-Designate, engage target!" the Watch crackled.
Shi-Yoon didn't need the order. He dropped from the roof, the Reaper's Blade already an outstretched scythe of crackling energy before his feet hit the park grass.
"You're a blind spot too," Shi-Yoon hissed at the colossal insectoid, swinging the scythe in a low arc that sheared through the asphalt.
The creature shrieked, a sound like grinding teeth, and recoiled from the scythe's cosmic edge. Its carapace, however, instantly sealed the wound. No residual energy bleed. No tell-tale sign of a fatal point. Because Shi-Yoon couldn't see its life timer, he was essentially fighting a creature with infinite health.
It doesn't matter how sharp the blade is if you don't know where the heart is.
He spun, channeling Soul Energy into the blade, which erupted in a terrifying blue flare. He needed a critical hit, a finality his powers usually guaranteed. He leaped, aiming for the neck joint, but the Alpha-Unit simply extruded a thick, black metallic shield from its back, catching the blow and shoving him backward.
FRUSTRATION. His precision, his expert ability to end a fight in a single, surgical strike, was useless. He was reduced to brute force, a hack-and-slash warrior, something he despised.
The Aether-Watch on his wrist screamed again, but this time, it was a new threat. Not one, but three new incursion points flashed red on the tactical map, forming a triangle around the immediate area.
They're flanking me! Shi Yoon realized, his teeth grinding. It's not just one A.S. unit; the anomaly is pulling in multiple high-grade entities simultaneously.
From the newly formed rifts stepped three Grade A Aberrations: tall, spectral figures wielding wickedly sharp bone weapons. They didn't target the civilians; they moved to support the Alpha-Unit, forming a protective perimeter. They knew the protocol.
"Dispatch, confirm these targets are also untraceable," Shi Yoon demanded, dodging a laser-like blast from the Alpha-Unit and deflecting a slash from an Aberration in the same second.
"Affirmative, Reaper Designate," the cold voice replied. "All targets in the sector show fatalistic signature zero. Recommend immediate extraction—"
"Negative," Shi Yoon cut in. Seo Jun was still within a hundred meters, trapped in the library with the Aberrations closing the perimeter.
Shi Yoon's indifference evaporated, replaced by a pure, terrifying rage. He was being played. His mistake eleven years ago had turned him into the guardian of a beacon, and now the universe was sending its fiercest hunters to him, stripping him of his key weapon, and daring him to fail.
He didn't waste time on finesse. He slammed the butt of the Reaper's Blade into the ground, overloading his own core. The resulting pulse wasn't a tactical strike; it was a sheer wave of cosmic energy that blasted outward, momentarily staggering the Aberrations and forcing the Alpha-Unit to shield itself.
In that precious half-second, Shi-Yoon saw his objective: he abandoned the A.S. unit and dashed toward the perimeter, slicing the nearest Aberration in half. The spectral body didn't dissipate; it just reformed, still a blind spot, still a threat.
Fine, Shi Yoon thought, his eyes narrowed into furious slits. If I can't kill you quickly, I'll kill you slowly.
He unleashed a barrage of concentrated Soul Energy, locking the Aberrations down with sheer power, creating a temporary, chaotic prison. His only goal now was to collapse the perimeter, secure Seo Jun, and get them both out before the fury of the blind spot consumed the entire city block.
Shi Yoon made the barrage grow rounders around those A.S , he creat a portal and appeared right next the library, before he could do a single thing more , the A.S unit break through and unleashed towards him, Shi Yoon separated his scythe, becoming two scythe, he goes towards them and start slashing around but nothing work , they reformed and they grown bigger.
Okay! You wanted to play this way! We will play, Shi Yoon though
