Chapter 66 – Blood Fight
#066.
“Ah… Oh!”
As if Gaon and a leopard-type beast crossed each other, they passed each other’s sides. The wounds are exactly the same size. Looking at it this way, it seems like an equal fight, but unfortunately, there are three more enemies than him.
Ha-yeon couldn’t take her eyes off him in that breathtaking workshop. It wasn’t simply because their lives depended on Gaon’s fight.
Rather, it was not on her mind. What she recalls is just a simple impression.
‘Beautiful.’
It wasn’t overwhelming or flashy, but it still had a magical power that made it impossible to take your eyes off it.
There was a moderation in every movement. Gaon’s gesture, which did not allow even the slightest distraction, looked like a piece of art.
The extreme meaning of spearmanship that Hayeon always wanted existed there. A simple trajectory, but it goes on without end.
Gaon’s body never stopped. She spins around and seems to wield her spear randomly, but there are always claws and teeth of beastmen in that place.
It’s as if I’m pointing my body towards the window on my own. Or it was a scene where Gaon seemed to be moving knowing the future a few seconds later.
All the pain in his body had long since disappeared. Because of Chorin’s healing, there is nothing to disturb her concentration, so she just looks at the feast of the beautiful spear as if possessed.
What awakened her spirit was the voice of Yoo Ji-hee, who had wrapped her body in a robe and was trembling.
“Cho, Chorin-sister. Can we not help? It’s too dangerous!”
“… Are you okay. Gaon will do something for you. I believe.”
Despite Chorin’s answer, Yoo Ji-hee’s face didn’t show any concern. I wanted to ask why you didn’t help with the magic you used earlier, but you don’t have the right to say that to yourself.
How could she carelessly say such a thing when she was held hostage and then helped unilaterally?
But she wasn’t okay with Chorin.
There’s no way she wouldn’t want to help. She was just waiting for the time.
Gaon told her. After healing them, never use mana. Don’t do that until you defeat all the beasts yourself. That’s why she couldn’t use magic arbitrarily.
Whatever the circumstances, the important thing was that they had no choice but to just watch.
Kang! Kaga River—!
As time passed, the fight intensified, and as a result, Gaon’s whole body increased in wounds. Of course, it was the same for the beastmen, but the four of them shared her wounds that Gaon would have to bear alone.
At this rate, there is no chance of winning.
‘I have to help too.’
It was time for Ha-yeon to look around to find a way to help. Suddenly a loud scream was heard.
─Aaaaang!
As he turned his head to the front, he saw one of the werewolf’s arms severed and springing into the air. Before long, the raised arm fell to the floor and fluttered wildly.
“Damn it!”
“Kill! Kill them quickly!”
Although one of the beastmen’s arms fell off, it was the guys who had the upper hand. But they couldn’t find any composure at all.
And Ha-yeon also realized the reason.
Of course, Gaon was getting stronger as time passed and the more she was hurt. As the blood flowing from the blood lines carved into her body increases, it becomes faster and the power of her spear amplifies.
“Suck!”
“Ah!”
With a booming sound, the spear dug into their gap again and punched a hole in the jaguar beastman’s shoulder. The attack that followed was covered up with a light kick.
The fight continues to pick up the tempo, and before you know it, the heat around them heats up.
Their bodies rotated, and the blood splattered from their bodies melted into steam with each blow of the spear.
A bloody fog spreads.
Gradually, a red mist rose from the epicenter of the battle and began to block the view.
All you can see is a blurry figure. Nevertheless, there was no difficulty in distinguishing Gaon. It is surprising to see them pushing through the gap between the giant beasts over 2m tall with light and fast movements.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was wonderful for Ha-yeon and Yoo Ji-hee, who had always been despised. One incompetent earthman overwhelms a group of beastmen who mercilessly slaughtered them.
It seemed like a kind of hope to them. It is a lamp that brightly illuminates the unknown darkness.
A savior that fills their self-esteem that has fallen to the bottom, giving them the confidence that they can do it too.
They watched in a daze, but came to their senses when the last beastman fell and the mist of blood dispersed to reveal the figure of Gaon.
He breathed heavily and faced the red-haired beastman. Even though his whole body is stained with blood, he doesn’t look ugly or weak at all.
Rather, it made his strength stand out.
The blood that stained the floor red was just a carpet under his feet.
At this moment, the only thing filling the female jin’s mind was Gaon’s wide and solid back.
***
Slap- slap-
Gaon slowly walked towards the beastly prince, spitting out jet-black eyes from his brightly shining eyes.
‘Now… Is it possible?’
Gaon contemplated inside, feeling his body strengthened to the limit by the indomitable effect. Fortunately, as expected, the indomitable body reinforcement was applied to the mana rod as well.
The mana rod, which was much harder and tougher than usual, seemed to be able to withstand it even if it was somewhat overworked. In this state, you can beat him.
Because of this, he dared to refuse to heal Chorin. In a normal state, even the other prisoners could not handle it, let alone this guy in front of them.
When Gaon reached 5m in front of the male prince, the guy who had been grinding his teeth with a nervous expression shouted loudly.
“Why are you interfering! Are you saying it’s okay to die because of a worm-like earthling like that!”
Prince. He obviously said he was a prince.
Bloodtail royals have red hair and are born with a special ability to deal with blood.
But I can’t find anything like that in him.
Yes is one of two things. Was he really not a member of the royal family, or was it a kinship so far away that it would be embarrassing to even call him a member of the royal family?
At that level, it would be ambiguous to even call him a member of the royal family, but this guy doesn’t seem to be like that.
He is arrogant and has a personality that looks down on others. Maybe that’s how he releases his inferiority towards royalty.
Of course, that’s not important.
Why are you prepared to die to protect earthlings like worms, and why do you shed blood?
The answer to that is really simple.
“Because I am that worm-like earthling.”
“What?”
“That means I am included in the earthlings you considered worms. The Beast Prince of Blood Tail, who is at the level of a rogue among collaterals. Is this enough to answer?”
“You bastard!!”
As expected, Gaon’s guess was correct, and he reacted violently to his words. He pulled out an aura by crushing his face like a savage demon at once.
The rising red aura goes beyond gathering on the fingernails and rises up, and soon begins to cover the whole body.
If the level of 5-star simply expresses the aura, then the level of 6-star can be seen as a level where the aura can be freely transformed.
Just like what he does now, it can be operated by simply escaping from the body or the weapon being used, inflating it to a larger size, or covering the entire body.
In addition, it was possible to remove the vulnerability that ranged attacks were impossible by blowing an aura.
However, this did not have a significant effect on Gaon. The problem was very simple and clear. There is an overwhelming difference from just the amount of Aura.
Even simply by quantity, he would have about ten times the aura of Gaon. With that kind of aura wrapped around his body, he couldn’t even get a scratch on him.
So, he had to strain a little too.
“Whoa-“
“You bastard! I’ll tear you to death!”
“…”
Certainly, he couldn’t find reason in his eyes, as if what he had said was counterintelligence to him. Red, bloodshot eyes literally stare at him with a beastly murderous intent.
I thought I couldn’t control myself and my breathing became rough, but heheh! He roared and lunged at him, snapping his claws.
In response, Gaon brought the spear to his fingernails. It was truly dangerous to see a giant beastman over 2m30cm tall with just one spear.
In fact, if they collided like this, Gaon would be crushed in an instant.
‘Concentration.’
I focused my mind on Danjeon.
He focused on the storm that revolved around it. It accelerates its rotation to form a voracious vortex that devours everything.
The mighty flow absorbed the energy scattered throughout the veins of the body.
Congenital Qi (先天眞氣).
It means the energy that is innate by birth. In other words, it can also be called life force.
It is far purer and more powerful than normal internal energy, and once used, it can never be refilled.
Not only that, but it also has the side effect of losing internal energy or becoming a nuisance.
So it’s a skill that should never be used normally, but unfortunately Gaon has a way to fill that vitality.
To be precise, I have someone right next to me who can replenish my vitality.
So I was able to do some crowding.
‘Concentration.’
Suncheonjingi was caught up in the flow of the storm and became one with Mana, splitting in both directions. It seemed as if the mana load of every passing path was bubbling up.
Even though it was still only a simple operation stage, my throat burned hotly and I felt the fishy taste of blood.
Suppressing the feeling of vomiting, he continued to move the Seoncheon Jingi, and soon moved it through his hand to the window.
In the meantime, they were on the verge of colliding with each other’s attacks.
Gaon focused all his mind on the claws tearing through the air and embodied the images in his mind.
Tsutsutsutsut-
The auras of different stems extending from both hands snaked up the spearhead and became entangled in a spiral.
Spiral wind.
The moment Gaon’s spear and claw met, he exerted all his strength and rotated his wrist strongly.
Whoa-!
In an instant, the wind blew.
As the two auras at the tip of the spear rotate, they simultaneously retain the attributes of wind and change. Its intense rotation becomes a storm that absorbs and destroys everything.
“Ugh!? What the hell is this… !”
He braced his legs as he watched his arms being swallowed up by the storm. He tries to pull his arm out as it is, but if that’s the case, he shouldn’t have rushed so ignorantly in the first place.
Quagga gagagak!!
A storm engulfs everything.
