Chapter 69

069 – The Protagonist Appears

“Everyone, calmly and orderly evacuate! We still have a distance from the attack point, so everyone can evacuate safely!”

Watching thousands of people exiting the buildings and moving again, Arin, observing through her drone, let out a deep sigh of relief. Then, as she tried to move the drone to the next location, she collapsed right there.

“Ms. Arin!”

Approaching her on the boat, a Brazilian government official extended a helping hand. Arin weakly raised her hand.

“I’m... I’m okay. Just leave me be.”

“But...”

“There’s no time to rest right now.”

Three more location remained. From the cat-and-mouse game with Banara, her mental state was shattered beyond recognition due to the drone manipulation surpassing her limits. Nevertheless, she clung to the boat’s railing and staggered to her feet.

Once again, she directed her will towards her drone.

– Goooooo –

The condition of Night Stella, responding to her will and moving again, wasn’t great either. Not only had she consecutively used the hypersonic afterburners, which had a limited operating time, but she also performed rapid high-speed maneuvers that placed a tremendous burden on the aircraft.

Furthermore, the Telethic Network, which drew immense crystal energy at once, was a considerable strain. Since a while ago, the crystal drive on Night Stella had been emitting a high-frequency noise, like the machine screaming, which painfully pierced Arin’s ears.

As the sound stabbed at her ears like a machine’s scream, Arin spoke to her drone with a soothing voice.

“Just a little more... Let’s hang in there a bit longer. I’ll muster up some strength too.”

– Goooooo –

“Alright. Be good.”

Contrary to her concerns, Night Stella continued to race through the sky above Manaus at a rapid pace. Finally, as the evacuation orders were delivered from the remaining three location, she collapsed again due to the overwhelming fatigue and nausea, vomiting once more.

“Uwaaah!!”

It was far more agonizing than the vomiting after the cat-and-mouse game with Banara. Since she had already expelled everything in her stomach, there was nothing but a slightly bitter liquid coming up, even if she vomited.

Amidst the pain of her throat turning inside out and her throat burning, Arin, feeling the pain as if someone was repeatedly pounding her back with a fist, dry heaved in a frenzy.

Watching her in pity, Marcos, the Brazilian government official, looked at the girl, not yet twenty, writhing in pain amidst lack of oxygen.

Then, even within her dizzying view, he watched her staggeringly grab the railing and stand up again. Unable to bear it, he grabbed her shoulders.

“Stop now. Hasn’t the evacuation order been fully transmitted already? Now, take a break!”

“We need to... make sure everyone... evacuated properly...”

“Leave that to the police there!”

“I’m sorry. I can’t just leave it like that.”

Once again, she sent her drone flying. However, Night Stella, whose power was almost depleted due to repeated hardships, couldn’t move as swiftly as before, executing her commands at a sluggish pace.

However, even that slow speed was much faster than regular drones. Arin moved Night Stella towards an area near the expected combat zone of these monsters. There, she began scanning the remaining citizens.

‘No one here.’

Due to the limited remaining energy, Arin couldn’t use a wide-range scan. Instead, she narrowed down the range and meticulously explored every corner, searching for where people might be. As soon as she spotted remaining individuals, she moved the drone to persuade them to evacuate.

– Why aren’t you evacuating?! This area will be swept away by those monsters in a little while! –

“Sorry, but I have things to take care of...”

– Is property more important than life?! Move quickly! We don’t have time! –

However, persuasion was not smooth. It was easier to convince those who believed there was still time, but it was challenging for those trying to grab even a bit of their property. When encountering such individuals, Arin used the Telethic Communicator to directly convey her will to their brains, substituting for persuasion.

All to save at least one more person. However, convincing someone who had completely given up on life proved impossible.

– Please, run away! –

[Emergency Beacon Activation. Calculating minimum power required for situation recovery based on collected combat data.]

[Calculation complete. Minimum of 3 or more Clan members with Rank 5 or higher required for situation recovery. Energy residue calculation for forced teleportation in progress... Failure. Insufficient energy residue in decision route. Recalculating current summonable personnel... Summonable personnel: 1. Initiation of Teleport Beacon (Teleport beacon) for forced summoning begins.]

In an instant, the lower part of Night Stella opened, and an appendage resembling a rod with a crystal attached shot out.

Simultaneously, Night Stella, having consumed all the remaining energy in the decision route, fell to the ground without strength.

Looking at the approaching ground in an instant, Arin unintentionally shouted.

At this moment, what was more precious to her than her own life was the drone.

Her drone, floating at a height sufficient to be destroyed if it fell to avoid attacks from this form, was in danger of losing power and colliding with the ground.

However, in the gradually darkening camera screen, she could see a dazzling light emanating from the beacon embedded in the ground.

And right next to it, the person she most wanted to see was being summoned in the midst of the formless crowd, bathed in dazzling light.

As if the light was gathered to create it, he stood confidently in that place, as if he had anticipated that something like this would happen.

And with one hand, he accepted Night Stella falling from above his head.

[Auxiliary power activated. Camera and recording module available.]

At that moment, the dimming camera turned on again, and in Arin’s view, Myung-jun’s face, looking down at the drone’s camera, appeared.

Then Arin spoke to Myung-jun, who held the drone with a somewhat awkward voice.

“I thought it was a function to send a rescue signal, but I didn’t think it could forcibly teleport.”

– Well, that’s possible, but it’s not cool, is it? The protagonist is supposed to appear at the most dangerous moment. –

“But there are too many opponents. Can you afford to wait until all the citizens evacuate?”

– No. Are you misunderstanding something? –

“Yes?”

In response to Arin’s question, Myung-jun flicked his index finger and said.

– I thought you might consider it as a function to send a rescue signal, but it’s not important to wait for time once you’ve used the forced summon function. The question is whether those guys with just that number can stop me. –

Having said that, Myung-jun took out a temporary battery from his pocket and charged Night Stella’s energy.

So that she could properly observe her own battle while controlling the drone.

Then, looking at the thousands of unfamiliar monsters approaching with a sense of crisis as he saw the light emitted from the beacon, he said.

– I’m curious about one thing, did you get permission from the Clan leader before using the beacon? –

“No.”

– Well, I thought you wouldn’t. But that’s not important. From the moment you used the beacon, I received an official request from the Servihum Clan, and what happens next is entirely your responsibility. –

Myung-jun’s tone did not imply a message to Arin to take responsibility. As long as he was being called, it meant that she had to be prepared to take that level of responsibility.

With Myung-jun’s thoughts transmitted as they were, Arin nodded her head, moving the drone up and down, expressing her agreement with Byung Jun’s opinion.

“You didn’t have to say it. I already had that in mind.”

– Good. Then, since you’ve received the ‘commission,’ handle it thoroughly. –

“Alone?”

– I’m Alone is enough. –

The moment Myung-jun finished speaking, Arin realized why Myung-jun firmly held the top spot in the world rankings among countless Awakeners worldwide.

A completely different kind of massacre, turned upside down from a little while ago, began unfolding in Myung-jun’s hands.

It was an overwhelming combat style that clearly demonstrated the ‘enormous difference’ in power between Orléans, the strongest awakener she knew, and Myung-jun.
