Chapter 12 - Change (2)

Blue sword qi surrounded the Seven-Branched Sword. The blade shone from the pure mana. Sneaking a glance at Kim Suho's Seven-Branched Sword, Chae Nayun asked.

"You ready?"

"Yeah."

Meanwhile, I slowly backed away. There was nothing I could do here. Kim Suho would reveal his hidden power and easily take care of this djinn. Overwhelmed by Kim Suho's might, Chae Nayun would give up being his rival and admire him instead.

"Support me."

Kim Suho spoke as he adjusted his grip on the sword.

"Support? Please, I'll be the one to kill him."

Chae Nayun playfully rebutted and nocked another magic arrow.

"Guooo—!"

The djinn ignited his magic power before she could fire. An evil black qi hurled towards them like hellfire, but a single streak of light extinguished it. A sword saint could cut fire, wind, and even magic power.

Chae Nayun's arrow flew through the lifted magic power. The condensed mana arrow pierced the djinn's shoulder.

Kim Suho didn't miss this opportunity. Leaping up, he slashed down diagonally. This attack should've immobilized the djinn, but he only smiled despite being cut. Kim Suho instinctively felt something was wrong. Immediately, fierce magic power shot out from the wound. The shockwave blew Kim Suho away as if a storm had crashed through. He didn't even have the chance to scream and crashed into a wall across the room.

"..."

"..."

Both Chae Nayun and I became speechless. Strange. Something was definitely strange. This shouldn't have happened. After being pushed back a bit, Kim Suho should've released his hidden power and overwhelmed the enemy.

"Uuu..."

Thankfully, Kim Suho stood back up, but he didn't seem to be in good shape.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"I'm fine... Kuu."

Kim Suho needed time to heal. The djinn walked towards Chae Nayun as her face stiffened.

Chweek— Chweek—

Chae Nayun fired two arrows, but none of them worked. The djinn didn't stop even though she continued to shoot until he looked like a porcupine.

"This isn't regeneration."

Chae Nayun murmured in a daze. As she said, this djinn didn't have high regenerative power. He simply had a sturdy body. In the first place, I didn't design him to be an opponent Chae Nayun could defeat.

Chae Nayun's face turned pale as fear and horror crept up inside her.

"Just support me!"

Kim Suho jumped in front of her and blocked the djinn's path. However, the djinn kept his eyes on Chae Nayun. Condensing his black mana onto his arm, he produced a giant wolf-like beast that bared its fangs toward Kim Suho.

"Uuuk!"

The djinn fought Kim Suho with one hand and grabbed Chae Nayun's face with the other.

"Are we screwed?"

I murmured.

By now, I had run away to the back of the exhibition. However, this place was already occupied by a father and child.

"Go that way."

"Y-Yes?"

"There, go farther back. It's dangerous here."
