I Became a Genius Swordsman in the Pretty Girl Game-Chapter 251

A deep hum resonated as the Glayus 666 quietly drove over the rough road surface. However, inside the car, there wasn't even the slightest shake.

“Wow! This ride is incredible! Amazing! There's no need to start the engine! It moves automatically! Is this really the Glayus 666!?”

Yuuri, sitting in the driver's seat, excitedly exclaimed.

Knowing how much Yuuri wanted to drive, I let her have the first ride.

At first, she hesitated, saying, “Are you sure? Isn’t the first drive usually done by the owner...?” but quickly took the wheel when I said, “Aren’t we friends?”

“Wow! I don't even need to hold the steering wheel. It takes the curves automatically!”

‘Well, as long as you’re happy.’

“Huh!? There's no need to step on the accelerator? It adjusts the gears by itself!”

However, Yuuri's voice gradually filled with uncertainty.

“Uh... even the brakes? It’s a smart automatic driving system that just takes the fastest route to the destination once you set it...?”

Being such a cutting-edge, high-end vehicle, the Glayus 666 required no driver intervention at all. All we had to do was sit and watch the road ahead. Honestly, with its automatic defense system, we could even lie down and sleep without any issues.

“Then, what's the point of sitting in the driver's seat...?”

Sitting in the passenger seat, I chuckled at her words.

“How is it? The dream car of all hunters?”

“...”

Yuuri clamped her mouth shut, her dream seemingly shattered in an instant.

“It's disappointing... Reality is more bitter than I thought...”

“Switch with me, Jin Yooha. Although there's not much need to switch... I still need to lie down in the back and get some rest.”

Yuuri swapped places with me and went to the back seat. Shasha Pong sat beside me.

As night fell, the surroundings grew dark. The road to Guangdong was pitch black and eerily quiet.

Beside me, Shasha Pong was nervously biting her nails while staring ahead.

“Don’t bite.”

I grabbed her hand to stop her from biting her nails. Shasha Pong turned to me, her eyes filled with anxiety.

Knowing what she was worried about, I spoke.

“Your father will be fine.”

“Really? Will he really be okay?”

“Yes, it might have been too late, but you brought that with you.”

I glanced behind us.

“...!”

There, Senior Ga-eul was charging the white marble with a face close to death.

“They said it would be fine as long as that shines, right? So trust us and wait. We'll save your father.”

I patted Shasha Pong’s head and smiled.

“Thank you... really.”

Shasha Pong nodded with tears in her eyes.

At that moment...

Screech—

The car came to a sudden stop. Narrowing my eyes, I looked out onto the dark road.

‘Wow, it detects enemies faster than I do? This thing is amazing.’

I noticed a group of enemies ahead and let out a chuckle.

“Shasha Pong.”

“Yes?”

“Wake everyone up and tell them to come out. You stay in the car.”

As the party members and I got out of the vehicle...

Buzz—

A semi-transparent hexagonal shield formed over the Glayus 666, activating its automatic defense system.

Tap, tap—

I lightly tapped the shield with my fist, thinking.

‘This car’s performance is amazing. We don't need to worry about the back.’

In the car were Shasha Pong, who lacked combat ability, and Senior Ga-eul, who was charging the white marble.

I had thought about leaving someone behind to protect them before the battle, but the vehicle's automatic defense meant one less worry.

“What’s happening?”

“Yawn—”

“Is this a rest stop...?”

The party members stretched and spoke as they exited the vehicle, seemingly relieved to be out after such a long time.

Among them, Kang Do-hee squinted into the darkness and spoke.

“It’s the enemy.”

“Yes, it is. We’re nearing our destination. We could ignore them and keep driving, but I think it’s better to deal with them here.”

“Hmmm, the streetlights are all off, so I can’t see well.”

Shin Se-hee extended her hand forward.

Whoosh—

A giant fireball bloomed above her head, revealing the enemies.

“...!”

“What... what is that...?”

“Crazy.”

“Horrifying.”

Everyone looked wide awake now. And for good reason.

The creatures' appearances were excessively grotesque.

They looked human at a glance but weren’t human. It was as if monster parts had been roughly stitched onto human bodies. Their eyes were entirely white, drooling, and they looked like zombies straight out of a horror movie.

— Groooaaarr—

— Grrraaaahhh—

It wouldn’t have been a big deal if there were only a few of them. But there were nearly hundreds of them gathered ahead.

Shin Se-hee clicked her tongue as she looked at them.

“Are these all...”

“Yes, Shin-ga's failed experiments. Chimeras.”

I nodded at her words.

“Shin Se-hee, can you increase the fire's intensity?”

“...Yes? Sure.”

Whooosh—!!!

At my request, Shin Se-hee made the fire even larger, burning brightly like the sun at night.

Then...

— Grrrk...!?

A few Chimeras in the distance turned their heads abruptly.

They had spotted us. Or rather, we had made them spot us.

— Screeech!!!

From afar, the creatures started charging at us, followed by more of {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} them, creating a scene reminiscent of a zombie movie.

“Come to think of it, Shin Se-hee, this is your first real combat, right?”

I asked lightly to ease the tension among the party.

“Jin Yooha, that’s not fair. We fought together against the Fire Dragon, and we recently went to the library together.”

“Oh, right. Sorry.”

“You only set flowers on fire back then. This is your first proper battle. I wonder if you can keep up with us.”

Kang Do-hee provoked Shin Se-hee.

To which Shin Se-hee responded with a smile.

“You seem to underestimate me because I sit at a desk all day. But don’t forget, I’m a Celestial.”

“Celestial? More like a snake.”

Listening to their banter, I strategized internally.

‘Hmm, without Senior Ga-eul, we have two specialists, two dealers, one tank, and one healer...’

Running the simulation in my head, I grinned.

With this combination, we could do something interesting.

‘My god, there are so many of them...!’

Sitting in the passenger seat, Shasha Pong gaped at the Chimeras ahead.

She knew what they were.

The failed products of inhumane experiments.

Her mother had forcibly brought people to the suspicious researchers for bizarre experiments. The failed ones were dumped near Guangdong.

It was to prevent strangers from entering Guangdong.

However, until a month ago, when she left home, their numbers weren’t this large.

Back then, she had found a gap to escape, but now it seemed impossible.

‘Was it a mistake...?’

A deep regret filled her heart, fearing she had dragged the people of Utopia into her personal troubles and led them to their deaths.

Then.

“Huff, huff... It’s okay.”

“Huh...? Were you talking to me?”

Hearing a voice beside her, she turned her head.

There stood Lim Ga-eul, drenched in sweat and looking pitiful.

“Huff, huff. Could you give me some water from the front?”

“Oh, yes. Here you go.”

Shasha Pong handed a water bottle to Lim Ga-eul, who gulped it down in one go.

“Phew— I feel alive now! I just wanted to tell you not to worry.”

“What do you mean? There are so many enemies...”

Lim Ga-eul brushed her wet hair back and tied it up.

“Well, my juniors whom I cherish and love are practically monsters.”

“...Monsters?”

“Yes. They often don’t realize it, but after spending an extra year at the academy, I know.”

Lim Ga-eul gazed out of the car’s window.

“How absurdly powerful Utopia is...”

Shasha Pong followed her gaze.

And she saw it.

A shower of fiery red rain falling from the sky.

“So, since you entrusted us with this task, you don’t need to worry.”

Boom—!!!
