ORV- [Not a character]

Ch. 24-Chimera is strong but Lee Jihye is stronger

The team consisting of Yoo Jonghyuk, Kim Dokja, Yoo Sangah, Han Sooyoung and Jung Heewon... Kim Dokja quintet? Is that what this would be called? The point is anyways that the team of five was still just five members. The whole group was still not assembled. 

So, in order to lessen the risk of the upcoming scenarios, the Kim Dokja quintet faithfully searched for the next members. With the guidance of both Kim Dokja and Yoo Jonghyuk it was hard to find the teammates location. Lee Jihye was next on the list mainly because of the distance between Jung Heewon's work place and Lee Jihye's school. 

Even if they wanted to find for example Lee Gilyoung, they would have to take a detour and it wouldn't be as efficient, also it was unknown where Lee Gilyoung currently is so that was also a reason not to search right now. Lee Hyunsung was further away that Lee Jihye but at least his position was known. But like how it was with Jung Heewon, movements of the other party weren't known so they could only search in the close proximity. Gong Pildu wasn't even on the list, poor Gong Pildu.

Yoo Jonghyuk had already gone through the options before. Yoo Jonghyuk had collected his teammates like this multiple times already, though there are a few more this time around, it still wasn't a hard task to do. There wasn't the pressure of the usual scenario tying them down even though they were waiting for postponed scenario. 

The mind of the group wasn't to say peaceful, it was only peaceful in comparison to the days in the underground subway. The subway was dark and humid with bloodstained walls and encounters with life and death situations were all too common. This freshness in the air put a better mood on Kim Dokja quintet. 

The mobs of plant like monsters had already switched to that of rat-like monster. And now with Jung Heewon here the hoard of mobs were even easier to defeat. The problem that could have caused problems if they were any weaker would of been the poisonous ones. 

Because the terrain had switch they no longer encounter the poisonous insects. Because the insects had a weaker body structure, the most effective way to kill was to use poison. Large and small bodies with blades attached to their bodies and the poison cover on top, it made it increasingly difficult to kill if you weren't highly alert at all times. This consumed more mental strength and more time was needed to rest which slowed down them considerable. 

Now as if to reward the group Yoo Jonghyuk and Kim Dokja suddenly stopped. In the distance a loud roar was heard. It seemed to be the reason why the monsters had lessen the closer they had gotten. 

Yoo Sangah remember how she had seen Lee Jihye on the blue transparent screen on the subway, it was clear that the background shown was a school. It made sense that if anywhere Lee Jihye would appear it would be here. 

Kim Dokja quintet made their way around the building and discovered that a chimera was fighting a black haired youth. This youth was obviously Lee Jihye. Though the chimera was that of a lower level than the insect-dragon chimera in the paradise, it was still a chimera. 

The chimera was that of a combination between lion and a praying mantis. Bug-like eyes, antenna and sharp blade as claws. It was indeed at a higher level of that then the monsters nearby. 

Still, Lee Jihye had been fighting for a while. She herself couldn't focus on the time because of how focused she was on the fight. She noticed the movements behind her but couldn't turn around and so instead she choose a different view to attack from. Since the chances of the newcomers being enemies, she couldn't have her back against them. If they were to attack would have run away because she could deal with any other targets right now. 

Dodging to the side she could spot in the corner of her eye a group of five, some of which she was very familiar with. 

Her master had come for her!
