The Four Cards

Where is Daisy Rune!

“He’s currently working on a space expansion magic inside…”
“Lee Seonbaek! I’m here!”
A voice came from an unexpected place, not the guild.
Daisy was running towards me with a sun-like face.
“Good. Daisy, from now on…”
Snip.
A sharp and dull sound was heard for a moment.
My eyes blinked instinctively.
Splattering blood.
A sharp blade.
Fluttering black hair, a golden head falling to the ground and rolling.
Yeon Taeseon had beheaded Daisy.
“…”
“…”
A moment of silence fell.
There were still civilians around.
They couldn’t come to their senses after witnessing the murder that had happened right in front of them.
Before a noise could break out, I blocked their screams with a silence magic.
“Look properly.”
Yeon Taeseon’s starlight eye shone chillingly.
“This is not that damn thing.”
At those words, my pounding heart regained its composure.
I shone my Sun’s Eye and looked at the fallen head and the blood soaking the ground.
It was full of dead, black starlight.
There was also a simple disguise magic, and when I dispelled it, it was not Daisy, but the form of an angel made of a golden plaster statue.
“[Deception]. It’s one of the Ruins’ stigmas, and it appears like this.”
The process of a Constellation becoming ‘that’ was not in a Constellation’s knowledge.
This part had to rely entirely on the Regressor’s knowledge.
After gaining a new understanding that a stigma could appear in this way, I greeted the real Daisy, who was rushing out of the guild.
“Seonibaek! What’s this about me being dead?”
“Let’s just say a Lilac-like guy caused some trouble. What’s the problem now?”
“Right! We’re using the underground training hall as an emergency shelter, but I’m not a spatial magic major, so I can’t expand it!”
“Is a city-sized space enough?”
“Probably?”
Expanding a space is a piece of cake.
I didn’t even enter the guild and calculated the coordinates with my Sun’s Eye.
Indeed, although the size was already that of a few soccer fields put together, there wasn’t enough space because of the humans who couldn’t feel the reality of the destruction.
“This is my spot!”
“Where’s your spot and my spot in a shelter? Is this old man crazy!”
Meaning, they were fighting over spots.
“…”
I felt a brief sense of disillusionment, but what can you do.
Humans are harmful when seen from afar, and beneficial when seen up close.
There are many good people, so I have to try to save them.
A magic circle of [Expansion] appeared between those who were fighting over spots.
I fixed the magic circle on the corners and various parts of the floor, and since these people were fighting over spots because they were close to the exit, I also made a few more exits.
A large white door was placed in an appropriate position.
Whichever door you opened, it would lead to the outside of the Nate Guild’s training hall.
As the space stretched out, the space that had seemed a little cramped instantly looked like a vast land.
While the people were dumbfounded by the endless training hall, I cast [Illusion] and [Cognition], hoping that they would forget the evacuation situation for a moment.
The hard training hall ceiling changed into a clear sky.
The sun was shining, and a strangely cool breeze tickled people’s cheeks.
At some point, the floor had changed from stone and dirt to short grass.
“What is this…”
As they say, if the environment is bad, people’s hearts also become narrow.
The [Illusion] and [Cognition] magic, when mixed, can create a virtual space, so after finishing the processing, I looked at Daisy.
“…Is it over?”
“Yeah. There’s no problem even if everyone here comes in.”
I thought a city was a bit much, so I expanded it to about the size of Gangnam?
So it should be fine.
At those words, a quick-witted guild staff member sped up the process of accepting the evacuees.
The line of people who were lined up quickly shortened, but more people flocked than were shortened.
‘Can our staff even handle this?’
Just then, Jiye, who had run out of things to do, came out of the guild again.
As soon as she saw me, she bowed her head and then immediately began to report.
“We’re accepting the evacuees smoothly. However, since our staff are not used to this kind of thing, and a small mistake can lead to a big accident, we’ve requested help from the association. They said they would send support at a fast pace, and probably in about 20 minutes here…”
Vrooom…!
Before Jiye could even finish her words, a military vehicle rushed in, skillfully weaving through the people.
Soon, the parked vehicle’s door opened, and several soldiers jumped out and instantly began to control the people.
Not the police, not the firefighters, but soldiers had suddenly appeared.
“Don’t push!”
“We’re support personnel! Please cooperate!”
“Oh my, old-timer!”
“Mom! No, please focus on evacuating for now!”
Although some reunions took place, it was not a tearful reunion given the situation.
The sound of heavy military boots echoed, and when I turned my head, a rather familiar face was there.
“I am Lee Hyeono, dispatched as a support personnel from the association.”
Hmm.
I grabbed the handsome soldier’s shoulder.
“Hyung-ssi.”
“Yes? Yes.”
“You be the leader for a while.”
“Yes…?”
I gestured to Yeon Taeseon with my eyes.
The guy, who had nodded his head, immediately used his unique skill.

[Specter of the Past: Selecting ‘Lee Hyeono’.]
[State: ‘The Un-spectered’ can be selected.]
A status abnormality that temporarily swaps the opponent’s ‘experience’.
In the process, the memories of Lee Hyeono from before the regression… that is, from inside the sacred artifact, might get a little mixed in and cause confusion, but it couldn’t be helped.
Rather, it would be a gain to have at least one more person who realizes how serious this situation is.
A deep blue light was sucked into Lee Hyeono.
Lee Hyeono, who had staggered as if he were dizzy for a moment, soon blinked his eyes and opened his mouth with a confused expression.
“What is this…”
“Work, hyung-ssi.”
When I pushed him into the crowd, Lee Hyeono immediately came to his senses.
In that short time, he had organized his memories and experiences and had organized the clueless soldiers and staff to line up the people.
Isn’t that guy a born leader?
He looks like he’d be good at group projects.
“Constellation-nim! Guild Leader-nim! We’re here!”
Just then, Seoah, riding a fluffy cotton doll, arrived with a bounce.
The other members of the 2nd team were tucked in her side.
I felt sorry for Seoah, who was just a high school student, for a moment, but I soon said to Seoah.
“Seoah.”
“Yes!”
“If you could become a much more capable person than you are now, what would you…”
“That’s awesome! What is it? I’ll do it!”
“It’s a little dizzying and confusing…”
“I’ll do it!”
No, let me explain a little.
You’re a minor.
Although she kept interrupting me, I finally finished my explanation with perseverance.
Even after hearing everything, Seoah lay down on the floor and said she would do it.
Yeon Taeseon sighed, but he still cast his unique skill.
The same blue light was sucked into Seoah.

[Specter of the Past: Selecting ‘Kim Seoah’.]
[State: ‘The Un-spectered’ can be selected.]
The movement of Seoah, who was lying down and whining like a 5-year-old, stopped.
She looked around for a moment, and then, as if her memories were quite mixed up, she held her head and thought.
“…What about Mina?”
“Wait for that child.”
In the first place, since she’s not even human, there were many difficulties in bringing her.
Seoah instantly became more mature and naturally stood in the position of the 2nd team leader.
I also called over Cheon Sanho and Cheon Seona.
With a healer and the Cheon siblings, who are a bit timid but have some military strength, it’s enough as a backup plan.
Though it would usually end at the 2nd team’s level.
The safety measures for the civilians are enough now.
If someone dies even after this, it’s force majeure.
Because I’m a Constellation, not a god.
“Then…”
“L-look over there!”
Some of the people who were flocking in pointed at the sky.
The golden bead was breaking.
Kigigik…
With a creepy sound, golden feathers sprouted from between the bead.
The size gradually grew, and in the place where the upside-down tower had disappeared, numerous wings gradually sprouted.
Gold began to flow down from the golden one-eye with a thousand wings and one missing.
“Is that gold?”
The people were agitated.
Even in this situation, just because of greed.
I looked back at my contractors.
Han Sion, who had received the stigma I had torn from The Crow’s Ruins.
Baek Jiye, who had a celestial-grade heart, the same as the pre-ascension race of The Crow’s Ruins.
And Daisy Rune, who could temporarily become a Constellation.
And even Yeon Taeseon, who has the experience of a failed regression.
These four were the cards I could use.
