Chapter 779 – 779. Scream of the Hounds (4)
It wasn’t that Cha Hanseong was ignoring or belittling Emilia.
It was just that he felt psychological reluctance to attack a girl with the appearance of a child, no matter how much she was a doll.
Of course, how Emilia accepted Cha Han-sung’s treatment was a completely different matter.
No, in the first place, it is questionable whether it is even possible for a non-human doll to feel the thoughts or treatment of Cha Han-sung.
But Emilia.
Cooong!
As if he was going to break Cha Han-seong’s complacent perception, he rushed furiously.
“What!?”
The echo created by kicking the floor was an intense sound that could not come from the appearance of a small girl.
Cha Hanseong, who did not know the exact weight of Emilia, which was filled with numerous parts and bodies, did not understand the meaning of the sound.
But I could instinctively feel that something was dangerous.
It was because Emilia, the cause of the sound, was running toward Cha Han-seong at high speed.
When she came to her senses and grasped her situation, Emilia had already come right in front of her and burrowed into her arms.
“Keugh!?”
Cha Hanseong hurriedly stepped back from Emilia to keep her distance.
Faced with the rapidly widening distance in front of them, Emilia murmured briefly.
“Formation B. Enter pattern 7.”
As soon as the order was over, the doll girls of the Dominus Unit, who started their actions in unison, started attacking Cha Hanseong.
“… !”
The doll girl, who had jumped high towards her lower castle, swung her bastard sword the size of her own height and slammed it down at him.
A series of attacks began that did not even give them time to let out their astonishment.
Cha Hanseong swung his sword and deflected the doll girl’s bell slash from above.
Kaaang!
“Nice… Eww!”
Cha Hanseong frowned involuntarily.
Heavy
I only competed once, but the load on my wrist holding the sword was no joke.
It means that the power contained in the colliding bastard sword is just as great.
The weight of the sword itself is the same, but it means that the basic power of the doll girl and the action of attacking by putting all of that power and weight into the sword is perfect and powerful beyond all else.
‘This is better than most prosecutors…’
Cha Han-seong had to change his mind and eat.
The opponents in front of her were not ordinary girls that she could easily subdue.
If he made a mistake and remained complacent, the strong conviction that he was the one who would suffer in an instant sent a warning to Cha Han-seong’s reason.
He counterattacked without hesitation at the doll girl in the air who deflected the bastard sword.
She quickly regained her stance and swung her sword to cut the doll girl’s waist.
Kaaang!
The doll girl floating in the air immediately took the huge blade of the Bastard Sword and blocked Cha Han-seong’s sword.
It’s still solid and sturdy.
However, the doll girl blocked Cha Han-seong’s attack in the air without too much trouble.
There is no emotion of agitation or passion, and the efficient and cool movements are so neat.
‘If it was a person, she would definitely have entered…’ .’
As her Cha Han-seong, she was confident that it was a counterattack of her conversion, but she couldn’t help but be embarrassed when she saw her own attack neatly blocked.
Of course.
These are dolls, not people.
There is no room for the element of emotion to intervene in the information in front of your eyes, and it is an alien existence that moves only with designed reason and determined actions.
Cha Han-seong was feeling the difference little by little.
“Under.”
But bewilderment gradually turned into a strange feeling.
Cha Hanseong laughed.
Ju-hong, who was watching the battle between Cha Han-seong and Emilia’s puppet troops from a distance, noticed Cha Han-seong’s expression.
“Uh? … Smile?”
Was laughing
In a bloody situation in which one limb could be shattered if he made a wrong decision, Cha Han-seong is smiling as he watches for an opportunity to counterattack after blocking the raging series of attacks by the Dominus puppet unit.
“Maybe you’re enjoying yourself.”
“What? Enjoy it?”
Ju-hong frowned at Eun-hyeon’s words, who were smiling.
“Can you enjoy that? Why?”
“Well what… Because it’s fun?”
What Cha Han-seong can have in this sparring, which simulates the actual battle situation to the extreme, is a combat experience that assumes a one-on-one fight.
To recreate that situation, the puppet unit including Emilia really had the right elements.
It doesn’t hurt anyone in particular, and even if the doll girls, including Emilia, are damaged in this battle, Eunhyun can restore them again.
It’s something to be afraid of getting hurt, but if it’s really life-threatening, Eun-hyeon will stop it, and Eun-hyeon can easily heal a broken limb.
Then there is no need to hesitate any longer.
Emilia’s battle with the Dominus doll army now is similar to experiencing various battles through simulations or games for Cha Han-sung.
Although, of course, it is a very big difference from the game that you have to throw your own body without hesitation.
“Right now, Cha Han-seong wants to use his skills without hesitation.”
Through sparring with Riod, Cha Hanseong learned some of Riod’s swordsmanship.
And as a contractor of the holy sword, the basic body specs and the total amount of magical power also increased dramatically.
“What was lacking was practical experience.”
No matter how much you hone and train your skills, and even if your physical abilities improve, using them is another matter.
I had the opportunity to gain that experience, how could I not be happy?
“… What are men?”
There was only one thing that Ju-Hong could sympathize with.
The desire to win against that doll girl named Emilia and the Dominus doll army controlled by the girl.
That was the only common idea.
Zhu Hong was also an inescapable person who was born with the temperament of a warrior.
“By the way, can he really win?”
“Well. It’s good if you win, it doesn’t matter if you lose.”
“…”
Ju-hong silently glanced at Eun-hyeon next to him.
His words were sincere, not mixed with lies.
In this training, it doesn’t matter who wins, either Hanseong Cha or Emilia.
In repeated engagements, Cha Han-seong’s goal is to gain a lot of experience close to actual combat, and in Emilia’s case, the real purpose is to collect a lot of combat data.
“… What would that person look like if they knew that the doll was still growing?”
Emilia is still growing.
Now, Emilia has collected various data from battles with Eunhyeon, Erin, and Juhong, and based on that, she has created various formations and strategies, and is constantly evolving.
“Found error in Pattern 13. Two second fix.”
From the start of the attack, whether to counterattack with the opponent’s attack, to defend, to counterattack later or to widen the distance, various actions that change from moment to moment.
It collects patterns of behavior and responds by establishing tactics accordingly.
The location of established formations, the timing of attacks and defenses or counterattacks.
The various strategies and tactics created based on the collected battle data of the three people are going through dozens of revisions and adjustments over and over again.
Gradually like that, Emilia is becoming more precise and growing.
“That person must think of you as an impostor.”
“You think so?”
“Of course.”
Ju-Hong, of course, agreed.
When I first encountered Emilia, the vermilion record was 59 seconds.
However, it was not the time it took for Ju-Hong to subdue Emilia and the Dominus puppet squad, but the time it took for Ju-Hong to admit defeat.
Erin’s record at that time was 38 seconds.
Ironically, this is the amount of time it took Erin to render Emilia and all of her dolls incapacitated.
At the time of their first meeting, Ju-hong, who had been unintentionally crushed by Erin, became reluctant to hear the result and challenged Emilia again.
However, instead of shortening Juhong’s record, it actually increased to 1 minute and 27 seconds.
It was the result of Emilia, who collected all the data, including vermillion’s habits, skills, and physical abilities, rather overpowered vermillion.
When he heard the story belatedly, the feeling Ju-hong felt was that he had been tricked.
But he’s actually defeated, so his teeth are gnashing at having to admit it even if he doesn’t want to admit it.
No matter how elaborate and meticulous Emilia devised strategies and tactics, there were those she could not surpass.
Eunhyeon and Erin were like that.
Eun-hyeon always exploited the loopholes in Emilia’s strategy and tactics to neutralize her puppets, and in Erin’s case, she overpowered the puppets by using the magic power of Shinsu, which exceeded the durability and output of the puppets.
It was the difference between ‘thinking ability’ and ‘overwhelming power’ that could not be covered even with elaborate strategies and tactics.
“I will definitely win someday.”
“Well. It won’t be easy.”
Eun-hyeon laughed with Ju-hong, who was determined to die.
Even now, even at this moment, Emilia, who is collecting battle data with Cha Han-seong and creating more and more elaborate strategies and tactics, will continue to grow.
“Whose side is your brother on!?”
“I’m on Hong’s side.”
Thinking of how Juhong would grow with this made me laugh.
However, Ju-hong felt strange and slapped Eun-hyeon on the back.
“It was bad!”
“Haha.”
She’s a bit of a hot-handed little sister, but when she accepts her complaints like this, she sometimes reminds me of her old memories, and it’s quite fun.
While accepting Ju-hong’s complaint, Eun-hyeon focused on the battle between Cha Han-seong and the dolls.
“How is it? Wouldn’t that be enough to give the Heilang members some hands-on experience?”
Zhu Hong let out a sigh.
She also had a history of helping the Heilang members in their training, so it was a rough estimate of how strong they were.
So I was sure.
“… I don’t think I can do it anymore, so it’s good if I don’t beg for help.”
All the Heilang members would scream if they thought that what awaited them, who were becoming more and more exhausted from the tag team, was that puppet corps.
Kwaaang!
As he sighed, an intense roar hit Scarlet’s ears.
Ju-hong, who moved his gaze toward Cha Han-seong and Emilia, the cause of the roar, put on an expression of disbelief.
“Omg… ?”
What her scarlet eyes saw was the sight of several of Emilia’s puppet troops, who were wearing black goth loli clothes, lying on the ground.
“Hmm… I knew it.”
Eunhyun nodded her head as if she had expected it.
In Cha Han-sung’s hand was Durandal, a holy sword that could double his power.
Currently, one of Emilia’s fatal weaknesses lies in her durability, which cannot withstand a series of powerful attacks.
The reason Emilia and the Dominus doll army were overpowered by Erin in less than a minute was because the magical power of the Shinsoo used by Erin was unexpectedly strong.
A group tactic using dolls is certainly a powerful weapon, but the doll girls, the subject of which, are a collection of technologies made of very delicate and sophisticated parts.
If they encounter an opponent whose offensive power exceeds a certain level that overwhelms their durability, the defeat of the doll girls is an unavoidable result.
“Hehe.”
However, even after confirming the defect again, Eun-hyeon smiled as if she was in a good mood.
At the current dwarf forge in the Duchy of Armitas, the production of metal that would increase its durability at once hadn’t reached its completion stage.
I already laughed at the thought of making the parts of the dolls with the metal of the name ‘Mithril Alloy’ and giving them a spec upgrade.
