EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school-Chapter 1067: Night Outpost (10)

When I first came to this world, there was a very short combination of words that took away my fighting spirit.

It was when the restrictions on using Gwangrim were lifted and I used Player's Trail for the first time.

I chose my main character, the last playable character, Baekho-gun, as the first card to use.

And just before using the card, I found the phrase.

[Available time 3 seconds]

At that time, with my skills, I could only handle the power of Baekho-gun, the final version of 'Wrath of the Heavenly God' with the restrictions lifted, for 3 seconds.

However, now that about a year and a half have passed, I have grown.

I have become accustomed to handling Player's Trail, and my physical abilities have also greatly improved.

So the number of moves I can make has increased.

Before making this move, I checked Baekho-gun's card to confirm.

[Available time 60 seconds]

It has increased significantly, but not by much.

Even if you use the nameless fate, you have to be careful when making your moves.

It couldn't be helped because the player's trajectory's characteristics, strong or rare powers, have a short usable time.

The white tiger, who had been quietly looking into my thoughts, said.

―It's increased twentyfold. That's great.

―It's noisy.

―It looks bad, but it doesn't seem to think it's noisy.

It was difficult because I couldn't hide anything from that tiger.

I thought that if I said something, Baekho-kun would laugh again, so I ignored him and continued my thoughts.

The time displayed while using the player's trajectory was like showing the remaining battery life.

Just like how electronic devices drain quickly if you keep them on or in a cold place, and how slow they drain if you leave them on low or unused, the 30-second time can increase or decrease.

It was enough to make moves.

I’m ready, but I don’t know how Baekho-kun will be.

―The problem is on your side. Are you ready?

―I’m ready to use the power given by the Heavenly God.

―Even though the opponent isn’t a bear?

―Yes.

He must have read my thoughts, but he acted confidently.

I thought he had secretly passed the Heavenly God’s Trial, but if Baekho-kun’s debuff had disappeared, Hwang Ji-ho or Eun-ho would have noticed it first.

Instead of explaining, Baekho-kun pulled out an unfamiliar item card.

―What’s this?

―It’s the ‘Heavenly God’s Indulgence’ that Eun-ho had made before Christmas.

Unlike his brother, Eun-ho always prepared to do the number diligently and was busy, but it seemed that he had thought of his brother and made such an item.

Baekho-kun briefly explained what effect the item had.

The Heavenly Indulgence is a consumable item that can remove the debuffs imposed by the Heavenly Indulgence while the item’s effect is active.

There was no doubt that Eunho had the ability to create such an item, but there were still a few questions.

‘The Heavenly Indulgence visited Eunho through a dream when he was a human, so he must have been aware that Eunho had awakened. If Eunho had tried to do something using the Heavenly Indulgence’s power, he would have known. Wouldn’t he need the Heavenly Indulgence’s permission to create something like the Indulgence? Did the Heavenly Indulgence give permission?

Then why did he make Baekho-gun use such a troublesome method instead of just removing the debuffs on his own?

Baekho-gun answered this question.

―To borrow Eunho’s expression, the Heavenly Indulgence ‘neglected’. He said that he knew what Eunho was trying to do, but he didn’t intervene.

The principle of the Indulgence’s operation is to temporarily erase sins by circulating the Heavenly Indulgence’s energy through the body.

It is said that Eunho went to the sunniest land in Cheoniksan Mountain to make the Heavenly God’s Indulgence and prayed to the Heavenly God where the energy of the sky reached.

There was no response from the Heavenly God, but it is said that there was ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) enough energy left in the bowl that Eunho prepared to make the Indulgence.

The Heavenly God did not help or prevent the making of the Indulgence.

‘Why did Baekho-gun get so angry about losing his true name, but why did he leave the making of the Indulgence?’

It was foolish to give meaning to the actions of a higher being or guess their intentions, but I could not understand it.

Maybe the Heavenly God had a reason why he could not intervene in this land?

If there was such a reason, it was clearly created by the mastermind.

But did Baekho-gun leave such a good item unused during the First Christmas scenario?

―Thanks to your tricks, it was resolved safely without me having to use my power. The only thing I could not stop that day was your journey to the underworld.

Baekho-gun brought up the story of the underworld that didn’t need to be told.

He must still be lingering even though he said he was going.

I ignored Baekho-gun, who seemed to have a lot to say, and didn’t bother to bring up the topic.

Baekho-gun and I could use our powers at the same time to move in one breath, so we had plenty of time.

Instead, we exchanged the necessary contact information and confirmed various details to set up a number.

While rereading the message and organizing the number, my eyes stopped at the part about Yongje-geon’s wish.

‘Han-i will now live as Cheongho. Han-i, who has regained his memories, may have a choice, but there’s no way he’d insist on living as Han-i when Hwang Ji-ho is in danger.’

I couldn’t figure out how Han-i would disappear in front of Dokgo Mi-ro.

When Eun-ho opened his eyes, I thought about what had happened to Cheon Seong-heon’s body and what he had thought when he saw it.

I had made my classmate go through something similar to me.

No, it wasn't similar.

I had half of my own choices, but Dokgo Mi-ro had no choice.

―Jo Eui-shin.

―Why.

―I knew what you were going to do, but I didn't stop you. You're half responsible.

―You promised not to interfere. You're not responsible.

―You promised not to interfere, but you never promised not to share the responsibility.

Baekho-gun was talking nonsense.

I'm not sure if those words were comforting, but they reduced his useless thoughts.

At that moment, Baekho, who was checking the device, spoke.

―Eun-ho checked the situation through Okto-yeon's Moon Palace Map. Gong Cheong-hwon and Jeok-ho opened the stone gate.

―Okay.

There was no time anymore.

They had to go through the stone wall and reach the underground hall where Hwang Ji-ho was, and then move and make a move themselves.

The place to move is the middle of the enemy camp.

The mastermind would have expected Hwang Ji-ho, Jeok-ho, Gong Cheong-hwan, and Cheong-ho to join forces, so it would be difficult to make a move using those four.

So the only ones I could move properly were the knights the enemy hadn't expected, Baekho-gun, and myself.

―Read my mind well and move properly. You have to time it so that it seems like you're talking at the same time.

―Don't worry. How many years do you think I've been reading your mind?

When I heard that, I thought I might be a little worried in another sense.

However, Baekho-gun just snickered as he looked at me in his clothes.

That stupidly large white tiger's clothes were quite large, but this time I had to borrow Baekho-gun's appearance, so there was nothing I could do.

―Let's go, Jo Eui-shin.

Instead of answering, I activated Gwangrim and borrowed Baekho-gun's appearance.

〈Gwangrim, use ‘Player’s Trajectory’.〉

And a white flash covered my eyes.

In the blink of an eye, Baekhogun and I arrived at the underground round table hall of the rose farm, the battleground, using the power of the Heavenly God.

Baekhogun’s sharp senses detected many things.

The heterogeneous energy of the Jin tribe, the soil that seemed to contain a power other than intelligence, the scent of roses that filled the underground, the moisture and dust unique to the underground, the smell of blood, and even the energy of Hwang Jiho that felt weaker than usual.

Not only that, I could also feel Baekhogun’s anger, who looked just like me.

‘Let’s say what that arrogant white tiger would say in this situation.’

If Baekhogun followed along well, it wouldn’t be difficult to deceive them.

I was only able to be sure after seeing the reactions of those who were shocked by Baekhogun’s appearance.

Even the mastermind who had almost predicted what would happen today didn’t know this.

I looked at those who were talking nonsense and shouting and made a cool judgment.

‘If it was the mastermind, he would have tried another method immediately. Are you trying to use a tiger-hunting weapon on Baekho-gun? Judging from how he can’t respond properly, I guess he can’t give orders right away.’

It was highly likely that the mastermind was watching this situation, but it was a one-way street.

I listened to what they were talking about without leaving anything out.

With Baekho-gun’s sharp senses, I could remember everything they said without paying much attention.

‘Some people call the mastermind ‘that guy,’ but others call him ‘that person.’ That means there are those who are not in a master-servant relationship but in a cooperative relationship.’

At that moment, the Jin clan with narrow pupils pointed at me and said.

“Only one of the two Baekhos has the true name! Aim for that one first!”

The Jin clan didn’t point at me, but the ones here were skilled enough to immediately pull themselves together and determine if it was the real name or not.

Their eyes were focused on me.

If I could swing my sword as much as I wanted using the Baekho-gun’s power like I did earlier, it wouldn’t matter how many people attacked me, but in fact, I was reaching my limit.

The number floating in the system window that only I could see was decreasing.

[Available time 5 seconds]

[Available time 4 seconds]

... ... .

If I were to replace it with a debuffed version of the Baekho-gun, it would be possible to maintain the appearance, but then they would immediately notice that one side was weaker.

The time was gradually decreasing, but there were still numbers.

―At first, you’d be flustered to see two of you appear, so you wouldn’t notice right away. But once you calm down, you’ll notice. You can only sense the energy of the real name from me.

―... ... .

The Baekho-gun made a face that didn’t seem to like what I said.

If you were going to make that kind of face, why didn’t you just take my name from me earlier?

Right now, I have to make a move, so it’s difficult, but if you’re going to bother, I hope you can take it later.

―No.

Baekho-gun flatly refused.

It seemed like he still had no intention of withdrawing the protection he had given me with my name.

―Then fight well. If you’re the best warrior in the clan, you can cut down all the enemies if you know how they’re going to move in advance, right?

―Of course.

―Since the enemy is targeting me, take them all down at once.

Baekho-gun answered without a word to my words.

―Okay.

I looked at the enemies rushing toward me, recalling Baekho-gun’s answer.

I quietly released Baek-ah’s summons.

The enemy is right in front of me, but right now there was no need to keep summoning Baek-ah.

The enemy moved as I thought and prepared to counter it, so there was no reason to waste strength.

Blood.

The enemies who had come close suddenly fell to the ground.

They turned their heads blankly as if they had lost their senses and looked at their collapsed legs, losing their balance.

Everyone's lower knees and ankles were empty.

Instead of the parts that should have supported their bodies, only the flash left by Baek-ah remained.

Baek-ho, the best martial artist of the clan who knew what they were aiming for in advance and who had grasped all of their physical abilities with one swing of his sword, swung his sword without any sound or light and cut them.

Choaaaah!

The blood that spurted out belatedly soaked the ground, but not a single drop splashed on me.

Meanwhile, the available time for Gwangrim displayed in the system window was approaching 0, but this power was not released.

Before we knew it, midnight was just around the corner, the time when Gwanglim would reset.
