The Main Characters That Only I Know-Chapter 347:

A rain of arrows poured down from the sky.

Yoo Young-min shouted in alarm as he saw it.

“Mr. Maxwell! Above! Can you block that?!”

[I know.]

Pabababak!

The rain of arrows that targeted Yoo Young-min and Maxwell twisted in a strange direction and grazed them, sweeping the surrounding area.

The structures made of solid minerals were destroyed, and the flesh masses were infected with diseases and withered in an instant.

The only thing left around after a natural disaster-like attack passed by was Yoo Young-min and Maxwell.

They did not feel relieved that they survived, but stuck together like a triangle and moved quickly.

Only five minutes had passed.

But for Yoo Young-min, who had a disease spreading in his body, it was like five hours.

“Huff. Huff. Mr. Maxwell. How much longer?”

[We still have a long way to go. Please endure it. It’s more dangerous for you if I inject you with the story all at once.]

Maxwell slowly injected him with his [Probability Intervention] story while staying close to him.

Until then, there was no guarantee that the White Knight would leave them alone, so they kept running away and buying time.

Probability Intervention was not a trivial story that could be simply ripped off and handed over.

Slowly and carefully, Maxwell had to inject it directly into the target’s body to make it usable.

That was possible only because the target was Yoo Young-min, who knew how to handle all kinds of skills. If it was someone else, he couldn’t even inject the story.

The possibility of a trivial side character made the last way out at this moment.

‘I know that…!’

Yoo Young-min clenched his teeth and looked back. He was breathing hard and his vision was shaking more frequently.

Even in that state, what he saw clearly was the White Knight pulling the bowstring towards them.

‘That monster doesn’t get tired!’

The White Knight had fired more than 10,000 arrows by now. Yoo Young-min and Maxwell had blocked and dodged those attacks for five minutes.

In fact, if it wasn’t for Maxwell’s help, Yoo Young-min would have died long ago and wandered around the sky.

Most of the attacks were avoided and deflected thanks to Maxwell’s defense. But now that was getting harder and harder.

[We can only block one more attack.]

“What?! We still have to hold on for another five minutes!”

[What do you want me to do?]

“I mean…”

[I don’t mind dying anyway. I’ve dedicated my life for my lord, I’m not afraid of that. But you’re different, Youngmin. You’re a colleague who made a contract with my lord, but you don’t have to die here.]

“That’s…”

[I should have done this from the beginning. Run away. I’ll try to buy some more time.]

“No, that’s…!”

Yoo Young-min stopped talking and clenched his teeth.

Maxwell kept saving him and even at the last moment, he was willing to sacrifice himself to protect him.

In fact, he wouldn’t really die, he would just be summoned back.

Maxwell was nothing but a summon created by Yu-hyun. But Yoo Young-min owed him a great debt. The debt of his life.

He didn’t have to pay it back, but that would make him uncomfortable.

“Forget it.”

[What?]

“I can’t hold on any longer.”

Yoo Young-min felt that the disease had eaten away at his body a lot. He couldn’t see with his left eye anymore, and his feet and fingertips were numb. He felt cold and sweat ran down his back.

If he ran away from the White Knight like this, he wouldn’t be able to kill him and the germs would continue to eat his body until he died.

“In the end, I have no choice but to gamble.”

[What are you going to do?]

“Give me the rest of the story at once.”

[…You could die from that. You can’t control that power easily.]

“I’ll die anyway if I don’t do it. I’d rather try something than that.”

[…Okay.]

Maxwell nodded at Yoo Young-min’s unwavering gaze.

He looked back. He saw the White Knight shooting an arrow. He stretched out his arm and intervened in the probability. He erased the possibility of being hit and called for the possibility of the arrow going astray.

The number of times he could block the arrow was exhausted.

Maxwell had no choice but to do as Yoo Young-min wished.

[It will be painful. Don’t lose consciousness.]

“Okay.”

[Here we go.]

Maxwell injected all of his remaining story into Yoo Young-min.

“Krrrrr!”

Yoo Young-min felt a pain in his head as if his eyes were about to pop out from the massive amount of information swirling in his head. He felt a pain as if countless nails were being hammered into his brain and saliva dripped from his mouth.

‘Hyung, you wrote so naturally with this much story?’

Even though it was an unauthorized power, he only received a part of it, but his brain was overloaded. He didn’t know how many times the light flashed and flickered in front of his eyes.

But still. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Yoo Young-min didn’t lose consciousness and activated his [Skill Creation].

‘I know. I can’t freely handle this much power without being ready at my level. At best, I can only divert it to one place. But that’s enough.’

Yoo Young-min’s [Skill Creation] required a huge amount of story, or TP. The amount consumed varied depending on the level of the skill he wanted to create.

This was when Yoo Young-min heard about Maxwell’s [Probability Intervention].

He used it as a material to create a new skill.

[Mana Bullet Creation – Maxwell’s Mana Bullet (One-time Use)]

‘I did it.’

Yoo Young-min smiled as he held the bullet in his hand. All the stories that had been tormenting his mind were gathered in the bullet in his right hand.

He immediately took out a pistol from his inventory as a spare.

‘My sniper rifle is broken, and my bow is malfunctioning. But one shot, anything is fine. As long as I can shoot, it’s enough.’

Even if it was just a mediocre pistol.

Click.

The reloading that he had repeated countless times before was done swiftly and smoothly by his hand, even in his blurry vision.

The white knight, who saw that scene, felt a sense of crisis and charged towards Yoo Young-min and Maxwell with his horse.

He intended to knock them down before Yoo Young-min could fire that gun.

“You’re too late.”

Yoo Young-min sneered at the white knight and aimed his gun.

‘Ah.’

But at the crucial moment, his vision spun and his aim was off.

Yoo Young-min bit his lip.

‘It’s not working.’

His vision was blurry and his fingers were trembling. He wasn’t sure if he was aiming properly. He could barely see the shape of the white knight in the foggy sight.

That was when.

[Pull the trigger.]

He felt a touch on his wrist and heard Maxwell’s voice in his ear.

[I will aim for you.]

“…Thank you.”

Yoo Young-min let go of his mind and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The bullet flew out. The white knight tried to repel it with his power, but.

The bullet disappeared in mid-air, then reappeared in front of the white knight’s forehead, crossing the space.

The white knight’s eyes widened in horror.

Maxwell’s mana bullet pierced through the white knight’s forehead.

[One of them has lost their energy.]

Descartes felt one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse’s energy disappear from afar. freeweɓnovel.cøm

It meant that Maxwell, who was moving with Yoo Young-min, had won against the enemy he was fighting with.

Descartes felt a ripple in his reason that never lost its calmness in any situation.

Was it competitiveness or ambition?

[I can’t just keep losing either.]

Descartes glanced back. There, Kang Hye-rim was standing still with her eyes closed, meditating.

She had been in a state of no-mind for a while now, but Descartes didn’t know when she would open her eyes.

He couldn’t see the future like Laplace, nor realize the possibilities like Maxwell.

The only power he had was to go back and forth between illusion and reality and deceive the opponent.

But that was enough for now.

Descartes spread his wings and shot out black feathers. Countless feathers turned into snakes and coiled around the enemy knight’s body.

The enemy knight snorted and slashed his sword, tearing apart the snakes.

Descartes rolled lightly on the ground. The ground rippled like a wave, then a huge landslide tried to swallow up the enemy knight. The enemy knight drove his horse straight towards the wave.

Boom!

A tunnel was drilled through the center of the wave. Descartes did everything he could to stop the enemy knight’s approach.

‘I can’t escape to the Wonderland with her. If I touch her now, everything will be ruined.’

Nor could he drag the enemy knight into the Wonderland. The enemy knight was stronger than Descartes. The illusion using the Wonderland only worked on the weak, not on the overwhelmingly strong.

If Yuhyun was here, maybe, but it was impossible with Descartes’ power alone.

Descartes created countless clones of himself to distract the enemy knight’s attention.

The enemy knight swung his arm. The horizontal sword cut through the clones in an instant.

He couldn’t stop him. The enemy knight was a runaway tank itself.

But he still blocked him.

[I will protect my lord’s lady with everything I have.]

Descartes reached out his arm towards the enemy knight who approached him closely.

Just a little bit, if he could buy a moment of time, he didn’t care if this miserable flesh collapsed.

The enemy knight’s merciless thrust aimed at Descartes’ forehead.

Before that sword tip touched Descartes.

Clang!

A sword blocked it.

“Thank you for buying me some time.”

[It was nothing.]

Descartes backed away.

Kang Hye-rim looked no different from before. The lightning that wrapped around her body had disappeared, and her hair dyed in silver-gray had returned to black again.

But Descartes and the enemy knight felt it clearly.

She was different from before now.

The enemy knight sensed danger and kicked up again. He raised his sword, which was filled with the will to cut the world in half.

And swung it down.

At that moment, when the giant sun fell towards the earth, Descartes saw it.

A very small and thin ray of light that pierced through the red world and rose up.

And when it passed, what remained in its place was the sight of an enemy knight, cut precisely from the crotch to the forehead, along with the horse he was riding.

“It’s over.”

The enemy knight’s body collapsed to both sides.

***

Two of the four horsemen of the apocalypse had died. The black horseman of famine realized that his comrades had fallen, but he did not relax or become more passionate in the fight.

He had no such leisure.

When the black horseman stretched out his arm and used his power of famine, Darwin threw himself to block it.

The guy’s body had no concept of aging, so the black horseman’s power of famine did not work on him.

Seo Sumin took advantage of that gap and struck a blow, but the black horseman either dodged or defended.

“Hmm. I think I could do something if I timed it a little better, but it’s a bit frustrating.”

Seo Sumin realized that the black horseman was not perfect. The guy’s defense weakened when he used his power of famine for offense. So she planned to counter him when he attacked and Darwin blocked him with his body.

“His offense and defense are very fast. It’s hard to catch the gap in between.”

There was a slight time lag between Darwin blocking with his body and Seo Sumin attacking from behind.

That time was so short that it was less than 0.1 seconds, but the time it took for the black horseman to reorganize his power was much shorter.

Seo Sumin pouted her lips in frustration. She couldn’t swing her weapons recklessly because she was annoyed. She would only lose if her cherished Mokryong Sword and specially made bat disappeared.

“Hmm. Ah, come to think of it, I didn’t have to go through all this trouble.”

Seo Sumin had a good idea and whispered in Darwin’s ear.

After hearing her words, Darwin scratched his head with his finger.

“Okay, let’s go again.”

Seo Sumin unfolded mental realm towards the black horseman. Nine whirlwinds converged into one and aimed at the black horseman’s vital point.

The black horseman lightly raised his power and erased mental realm, then immediately switched to offense and targeted Seo Sumin.

Of course, Darwin stepped forward and blocked his power with his body.

The black horseman naturally entered defense mode to prepare for the next attack, but Seo Sumin’s attack did not come.

Then Seo Sumin, who had been hiding behind Darwin’s back, ran to the side.

Her action of leaving the shield was extremely dangerous, and the black horseman naturally tried to seize that opportunity and switch his power to offense.

And that was his downfall.

Whoosh.

The moment the black horseman was distracted by targeting Seo Sumin.

Darwin had approached him closely.

Darwin’s thick arms swelled up like logs and his fist flew out. The dry black horseman widened his eyes at the sight.

The price of carelessness was huge. Thud! Darwin’s giant fist blew away the black horseman’s upper body.

“Whew.”

Seo Sumin whistled as she moved away from his power.

The plan she told Darwin was nothing special. This time she would be the bait, and let Darwin finish off the black horseman.

Darwin had no match in using his physique, but his head did not roll well and he was dull.

He thought of protecting Seo Sumin by blocking his power with his body, but he did not think of attacking the black horseman himself.

“Tsk. If I had used my brain a little more, I could have easily figured it out.”

His habit of solving everything with strength turned into a boomerang and worked against him.

Well, at least he solved it well now, so that was a relief.

“I’d like to take a break if I could, but I guess I can’t.”

He felt a surge of power from afar. One of them was very familiar to him: Yu-hyun’s.

The one Yu-hyun was facing was much more powerful than the black horseman he fought.

He didn’t think Yu-hyun would lose, but he couldn’t just sit here and suck his fingers either.

“Let’s go.”

Nodding.

Darwin put Seo Sumin on his shoulder, which had become his designated seat, and ran like a bulldozer.
