There were a total of three 'reinforcements' that Yoo Jonghyuk invited. Beast Master Shin Yoosung, Steel Sword Lee Hyunsung and…
“Hyunsung-ssi! Please take Dokjssi out of here!”
Ariadne's web shot through the air and placed me on Lee Hyunsung's back. A woman in a cat suit was running through the sky with the Hermes Walking Method. It was the incarnation of Olympus, Yoo Sangah.
“Yoosung, fire the breath from a long distance! Continue until Hyunsung-ssi leaves!”
The chimera dragon roared and fired a breath. The Apocalypse Imoogi screamed like it was quite painful.
[The constellation 'Master of Steel' has given a great probability to his incarnation.]
[The constellation 'Abandoned Lover of the Labyrinth' is supporting her incarnation.]
[The constellation 'Master of the Skywalk' is supporting his incarnation.]
The constellations supporting Lee Hyunsung and Yoo Sangah seemed to be struggling. Thanks to Yoo Sangah's commands, I was forcibly carried on Lee Hyunsung's shoulder.
“…Lee Hyunsung-ssi.”
“Stay still, Dokjssi.”
“You don't have to do this. I can move now.”
Lee Hyunsung didn't loosen his hard arms at my words. The only thing he did was silently climb the gorge. Once the top of the gorge could be seen, Lee Hyunsung opened his mouth. “Dokjssi, have you ever thrown a grenade?”
“…Grenade?”
“To use a grenade, you have to go through three steps. Remove the safety clip, remove the safety pin and throw it.
“I know because I've thrown it in the training camp.”
“Then you know how important the safety pin is for a grenade.”
I realized what Lee Hyunsung was trying to say.
“I lost the safety pin.”
“…Wasn't it the bullet shell last time?”
“I thought that I shouldn't lose it again.” Lee Hyunsung turned his head and looked back at me. “Once the safety pin is inserted, it must be done well.”
Soon after, we reached the top of the gorge. At the bottom, Yoo Sangah and Shin Yoosung were riding the chimera dragon out of the gorge. I saw Shin Yoosung's brightly smiling face and my heart felt complicated.
“Hyunsung-ssi.”
“…Yes.”
I knew what Lee Hyunsung wanted to say. He had been a soldier all his life so this was the only way he could express it.
“Thank you for coming.”
I heard a sniffling sound but pretended not to know anything. After a while, something rolled like an acorn and crashed into my leg.
“Ahjussi!”
She hugged my tattered leg like it was precious.
“It's been a while, Yoosung.”
Shin Yoosung nodded vigorously when her face against my coat. I patted Shin Yoosung's back while Yoo Sangah approached. “It has been a long time, Dokjssi.”
