Elsword – Time Trouble v4c0-1

0. What ends the fight
Crash.
Sound of wall being destroyed was heard. Add took a glance towards the direction of the sound then
groaned.
Wall behind the dimension distortion barrier was completely shattered. Clear blue sky could be seen
above and streets could be seen below. The wall was blown off completely.
‘So it wasn’t a frontal attack. Was it an attack aiming for our back?’
The strange shout that Chung made before his attack, and a giant explosion that came after.
The El Search Party and Penensio were safe thanks to Add quickly noticing the danger Chung’s
weapon posed and opening the dimension distortion mode just in time. Judging by how the soldiers
weren’t harmed as well, Chung must be able to adjust the range of his attack.
“I’ll go in.”
Elsword whispered in a low voice as he positioned his sword. He was trying to run in and take
Chung down quickly.
Chung seemed slightly surprised by the barrier Add’s Dynamos created but warned sternly right
after.
“I adjusted the power just now but I didn’t expect you to block it. This is the final warning.”
“…..”
Chung looked quite powerful but he wasn’t unbeatable if the entire El Search Party attacked him
together.
Rena, Elsword and Eve were all giving a glance towards Add. They were notifying Add that they’d
act soon as he gave his order.
But Add couldn’t decide quickly. It wasn’t because he didn’t have a plan to suppress Chung. The
problem was what happened after.
Although temporary, their target was Hamel’s lord. What will happen after they suppressed this boy
by force? They could make entire Hamel…no, the entire nation of Senace their enemy.
On the other hand, it’s not like the problem would solve itself from him keep hesitating.

Just when Add was about to open his mouth after deciding to go ahead and fight ….gazes of the
other members got focused in front. Add’s tongue froze in place after he followed the others’ gaze
to look.
Ara was outside the barrier before he had realized it.
“I’m sorry everyone. Troubling you all because of me……”
“Hey, what…..”
Add was at a loss for words when Ara apologized while bowing. This barrier absorbed physical
shock….but there was no feature to block the people inside from leaving.
I should add it in later. Add thought this while still confused about the situation.
Then Ara relayed abrupt parting words to them.
“Looks like we’ll have to part here. Everyone, please take care of yourselves.”
“What are you saying?”
“Wait a moment, Ara Haan.”
“Ara, what are you…?”
Other members realized what she meant and hastily tried to dissuade her. But Ara shook her head
heavily.
“If many people were injured and hurt because of what my elder brother did, then that’s also a
burden I have to carry. There’s no reason for everyone else to get caught up in this.”
“Don’t say something so absurd Big Sister Ara.”
Elsword suddenly spoke angrily.
“That’s what I should have said when I was fighting with my big sister. You saying that right now is
unfair.”
“That’s…..”
“Alright, we’ll surrender.”
At that moment, Add held up both his hands then withdrew the barrier.
Elsword, Rena and even Eve couldn’t hide their shock and all looked at Add. They thought Add
would obviously fight to protect Ara. What was he doing?
Add ignored everyone else’s gazes then asked for confirmation with a blunt voice.

“Hey brat. Is the promise from before still valid? The one about where we won’t be involved if we
hand over that idiot.”
“My name is not brat, it’s Chung.”
“I’m calling you a brat because you’re responding like that. Anyways….”
Add pulled the bang on his hair with a tired expression. Elsword, Eve and Rena were looking at him
with surprised rabbit’s eyes but they still didn’t intrude in on his conversation with Chung.
Did that mean they’ll trust him and watch what he does? This felt mysteriously shocking to Add as
he forced himself to focus on the conversation.
“Fine, take her away. Let’s come up with a plan to defeat Ran afterwards.”
“…..”
Chung wordlessly ordered the soldiers with a hand gesture. Soldiers took away Ara’s spear then
grabbed both her arms.
Ara looked back with soaked eyes before she got taken away.
“Mr.Add.”
“What?”
Ara bowed to Add’s cold response.
“Thank you for all your help until now. Please take care of the others.”
“…..Leave it to me.”
After Add’s cold response, Ara smiled with teary eyes then got taken away by the soldiers.
Elsword, Rena and Eve stared at Add for a long while and then withdrew their weapons. It felt like
things became annoying to deal with but Add decided to keep a clear head for now.
“Something unruly just happened, but let’s start coming up with the plan to beat Ran now.”
That’s the only reason why he could speak to Chung while still smiling.
Although it was unexpectedly difficult
