Chapter 693 Chapter
177. Yona Yona Yona…(2)
The party continued to move forward following the traces of marriage.
“If it wasn’t for you… we would have been fooling around without even being able to tell the difference between the real child and the fake one. After that, I’m not even sure it was the real Yona that we first found in this forest.”
two types of marriage.
Jin couldn’t be sure which of them belonged to the real Jonah. No matter how many people he meets, he is only confident that he can subdue them all, as long as it is not in the form of a concerted effort.
Even if they did joint work, it wouldn’t be a problem at all from the moment they perfectly distinguished the real from the fake.
‘If a large number of fakes entered the forest, the reason is probably to catch Yona’s sister… or to get rid of them.’
Then Jin’s job would be to not just secure Jonah, but also to protect her.
Owl was blaming himself for that very point.
Ignorance carried out the operation without even assuming the existence of the fake Jonah.
“Of course, it is difficult to anticipate that the forest may be mixed with fakes. Especially since Akin is the only place Yona-sama was found.”
Jin recognized him and said.
“I made this mistake even after hearing clearly that fakes are being made with the traces of chaos that Yona leaves after meeting you in the second castle of Hairan. You have no face to see that child.”
“Oh, don’t make it too complicated. After all, there are two types of mating season, and none of their owners have left the forest yet. We can solve it from now on.”
At least three, at most five.
That’s roughly the amount of traces of Jonah’s chaos that unknown people have missed so far.
Assuming the worst case scenario, Jin thought there were more than ten fakes in the forest.
Even so, it seemed that the current power would be enough to solve it.
“You may need to speed up. I have a hunch that fakes are targeting you. Well… let’s start with a simple approach. You two would do well to cover your ears.”
Suck…!
Jin takes a deep breath.
Sister Jonah-!
Soon after, Jin let out a sound with all his might, and I saw that several trees in front of me were broken and uprooted by the wind pressure.
An echo resounded through the forest as if an earthquake had struck.
If not Hedo and Oul, but ordinary warriors standing next to them, their eardrums would burst and they would pass out.
“It’s good to have a voice. If your sister was in the woods, she must have heard it.”
“Thank you Sir Hedo. Owl-sama, if Owl-sama is somewhere in the forest ahead and hears my voice, how would you like to come? If you need to confirm my location. For the purpose of attempting an assassination or monitoring trends.”
Owl understood that immediately.
“It’s to see the path of Jonah’s movement. Follow me.”
Instead of carefully and meticulously chasing after the marriage like just before, the party followed Oul at full speed.
Owl moved, showing a look befitting the title of King of the Unknown, and the speed at which he moved through the trees and the speed at which Jin and Hedo ran in a straight line were about the same.
Best of all, Owl made almost no sound as he moved. As if the wind was running, not a person.
“Surely the Nameless King. Is your sister named Salshin greater than me?”
“Perhaps. I’ve already heard that when it comes to assassination, my sister surpassed Oul-sama a long time ago. I’ve never heard your footsteps before.”
While running like that, Oul suddenly stopped walking.
This time, he was the first to recognize an aura that others hadn’t read.
“Live.”
At those words, Jin and Hedo also read the feeble feeling.
real or fake One of them had just moved noticeably closer.
Jin read the marriage note that was left nearby.
“There is still a much darker spirit than before. There are still two types, so it must mean that both the real sister and the fake one responded to my voice.”
pop!
As soon as he finished his words, a red flare rose from the other side of the forest. Jonah appeared on one side of the siege.
Jindo fired flares. It was a signal flare announcing a yellow unusual event.
At the same time, a golden aura surged into the sky, and it was the flight of the veil. In an instant, he headed for the place where the red flare exploded, and after a while flew back toward Jin. With a face full of annoyance.
“Vail, did you see Jonah-sama from the side where the red flare just went off?”
[I didn’t see it. It was said that it disappeared after only one surprise attack. I was going to search the area, but why did you suddenly call?]
“Surprise? How many victims?”
[The guy named Kell is injured, but it’s a bit cut.]
“It’s fortunate. There are fake Jonas mixed in the forest.”
[what? Not one?]
“Inform the rest of the crew, and if you see something real or fake, subdue it and bring it to me. Remember, never kill or maim. Captured alive and unharmed. If it is determined that it is impossible alone, pursue it and fire a signal flare so that the people in the siege are not harmed.”
[Then, let’s start by chasing the guy who attacked Kell… Ah, what else is that!]
Boom puff!
Unfortunately, Bale didn’t have time for that.
From then on, flares began to be fired from all directions.
“Everyone, go check it out and report the situation to Jin, Vale.”
[Ugh… I got it!]
Veil answered as she flew into the sky.
He did an excellent job of real-time contact network using his transcendent flight ability.
[Your sister was found there too, Ranke chased them out.]
[Two people came out at the same time, but Bianca responded and ran away right away…] [
I just ran into them and chased them down, injuring them. Oh, no fatal wounds! It’s just enough to slightly cut his arm, so he can tell him apart from the other Yonas.]
In that way, Veil did an excellent job as a real-time contact network like Jeonseo-gu. If it wasn’t for him, everyone in the search team would be in great confusion.
Ranke and Bianca were also playing a big role as expected. If Jin hadn’t brought them all, even if the dead had already come out, they would have come out several times.
Owl marked the location of all Jonas on the map whenever Bale reported, and pondered over their expected movement, and Jin did not let go of his concentration to distinguish the two types of matrimony more clearly.
Because of Hedo, the two were able to completely immerse themselves at times.
Soon, Oul selected several of the most probable paths among Yona’s expected paths, and Jin perfectly distinguished the marriage period.
“I’m sure, Mr. Owl. The real sister’s energy is one, while the fake ones’ energy is overlapped. Duplication is the energy of fakes. There are a total of three criteria for fakes that are duplicated around here.”
This was the reason Jin continued to focus on the marriage division after entering the forest.
It was necessary to determine which of the two types of aura was unique, and the number of fakes had to be inferred through the overlapping aura.
“Besides, sister’s energy is getting stronger, so it’s highly likely that anything found in other siege ships is fake due to time.”
In other words, the real Jonah was the closest to the current party. with three fake Jonahs.
“Then, the circulation is also narrowed down to one or two, 12 riders.”
Oul’s idea of Jonas’ route was no different.
If the fakes are pushing to kill the real Jonah and vice versa. Either way, Owl was certain that the Jonahs would meet soon.
It was because each time Bale reported, the Jonas on the side of the siege were moving more and more into the forest. It’s like narrowing the siege towards the prey.
“The fakes must be trying to gather in the center of the forest after disturbing us. But there is one strange thing.”
“What’s wrong?”
“The real Jonah is definitely more capable than the fake ones. He must have already cut one by himself, but there is no trace of that at all.”
“So you’re saying that Jonah’s sister is only running away.”
“It’s a situation where Jonah can’t perform his normal abilities, or there are other obstacles.”
“You’d better go to the center of the forest first, Nameless King.”
No sign of battle was found until we reached the center of the forest. Instead, the party began to be attacked from then on.
Suddenly, the back of my back got chilly, and when I turned around, a knife flew at me.
After defending the first, second and third raids.
Jin concluded.
“…The one who is attacking us right now is the real Yona-sama. The aura does not overlap with other matrimonial spirits.”
I needed three times because I could only check the moment of avoiding an attack.
“Besides, other fakes are nearby. Since the marriage spirits of the fakes are constantly intertwined and moving… It’s one of the differences between you and the real sister.”
“Is it nearby?”
“Yes, and the ones that were read to us earlier are fakes. The real sister Yona who was attacked just now… doesn’t even leave such a feeble life. Even the unavoidable marriage period is to the point that no one can recognize it except me.”
Jin looked around with a confused face.
In other words, Jin and Oul’s expectations were wrong.
The fakes didn’t move to get rid of Jonah, and the real Jonah wasn’t running away from them.
What the real and fake Jonas were aiming for.
It was Jin’s group from the beginning. Even they had been moving together ever since Nameless confirmed Jonah’s whereabouts on Akin.
From then on, the real and the fake moved alternately so that the unknown would recognize them as ‘one person’, so it was only natural that Owl couldn’t assume the fake.
“It’s not that Jonah couldn’t cut the fakes, but that he was cooperating in the first place…”
The moment Owl said that, the scenery of the forest the party was watching distorted at a rapid pace.
The ‘trap’ set by Jonas was activated.
Black curtains rose from all sides, and Jin immediately recognized that it was a subspace of chaos.
The three drew their swords back to back.
Then, a completely unexpected voice came out of the darkness.
[Jin… It’s been a while.]
Joshua Runcandel.
It was his voice.
