Chapter 167 – Nakhwa (5)
“…So, teacher, please do what you have to do.”
I clenched my fists.
‘…What I have to do.’
Needless to say, he defeated me in the first playthrough.
But how to knock it down.
No matter how weakened the opponent is, it is a spec that has already seen the ending.
Originally, an opponent that could not be defeated no matter what.
…And yet I had to do it.
I let out a short breath and sorted out the situation.
‘Three advantages given to me…’
The first advantage is utility.
In the first round, I was a prosecutor.
An attack-specialized swordsman whose utility is all entrusted to Lucia.
So now without Lucia, this guy has no choice but to lack utility compared to the power he has.
The second is that its body his is a ‘sacred sword’.
The moment I swallowed him with a shadow, I realized that the source of magic was not the ‘body’ but the ‘sacred sword’.
In other words, if you can take away the ‘Holy Sword’ without having to defeat the ‘Resurrected Corruption’, it will self-destruct.
The final advantage is that the country itself exists.
I know all of his patterns.
Attack patterns, techniques used, even mindset.
I knew myself better than ‘Resurrected Fall’ itself.
─Kooung!
Then, once more, the shadow swayed.
‘There is no time.’
I had to make the most of all these advantages and defeat him.

Compared to his opponent, his stats were disastrous, but he had no time to lament that.
‘…I need to make the optimal settings.’
Utilize the trainer’s abilities to the fullest to deal with the ‘Resurrected Corruption’.
‘I must bring the shadow and body reinforcement.’
Now, no matter what ability I put in, the shadow’s utility couldn’t match, and the body reinforcement was the least means to capture even the guy’s movements.
‘In the end, there are two remaining slots.’
— Empty.
— Empty.
Among the cards I can use right now, these are the strongest Lucia and Vivian.
I open up the list of the two magics and simulate each combination in my head.
As if warning from an overworked brain, nosebleeds pour out and cold sweat pours down.
‘…Little bit more.’
By the time my vision is blurred and my mind has reached its limit.
‘Whoa…’
I was able to fill the empty slots.
Never, I can’t say it’s perfect, but I prepared the best I could.
After closing the status window, I took a long breath and moved forward.
Kwaaang─
At the same time, the ‘revived corruption’ in front of me also broke through the shadows and popped out.
“…”
The revived Fall was furious at Eugene.
I was trapped in an unknown space.
That space reminded him of when he was just a demon before he got the name of ‘Depravity’, so ‘Resurrected Corruption’ was enraged.
I also felt the life of such a ‘resurrected fall’.
But what about that?
I already felt the overwhelming fear of Bianca’s death to feel the fear of his anger at her.
‘Strengthening the body.’
As I moved my lips silently, my heart beat wildly and blood poured out all over my body.
[Ability level]
Strength 22 + 11 Agility 22 + 11 Stamina 25 + 11
Intelligence 22 Magic 24 Luck 35
‘The victory is in an instant.’
Anyway, with my meager magical power, I can’t drag out the battle for a long time.
—Thrilling
The moment the body strengthening was activated, the ‘resurrected corruption’ looked at Eugene.
‘How..?’
The ‘resurrected fall’ was incomprehensible. What he was using now was not magic, but his own ability his.
Wizards use magic, and unique abilities use unique abilities.
It’s a rule that hasn’t had a single exception since this world existed.
‘What did he do?’
Apart from the strength and weakness of power, Eugene, who deviated from the laws of the world, felt uncomfortable with the ‘resurrected fall’.
‘…Kill.’
The ‘resurrected corruption’ rushed at Eugene, wrapped in the demonic energy emitted by the corrupted holy sword.
Quaang-
The movement of the ‘Resurrected Corruption’ could not be seen properly even with the eyes strengthened by body reinforcement.
But you know what technology to use.
Unlike other four major families, the Calliope family, which does not have kinship magic, is a swordsmanship consisting of seven rituals passed down only to the successor.
Calliope 1 Meal ─ Dried Ice
-Quaaah!
The blackened holy sword fell to cut Eugene in half, head to head.
Kwaaang-
The ‘Revived Corruption’, which had a fist-sized hole in its armor, was pushed back.
‘Resurrected Corruption’ could not understand this situation.
Eugene didn’t use any ability, so what was this wound?
“…”
[Tear apart—wolf—fangs (advanced special magic)] – [Created as a trainer from ‘Lucia’, power 77.2%]
Special magic
Unlike elemental magic, it was magic that maximized the effect on a specific target.
The conditions are complicated, it consumes a lot of mana, and the range is short, but if you somehow complete the conditions like now, it will be fatal even against a high-ranking opponent.
‘…With this one shot, 80% of my remaining magic power was gone.’
If ‘Resurrected Corruption’ hadn’t used falling ice, most of the precious mana would have evaporated into the air.
I was pretty sure the guy would start off with ice.
「Psychokinesis」
‘Resurrected Corruption’ paused for a moment before sending sharpened awl-shaped telekinesis through the cracks in the armor.
─Kwak!
The telekinesis disappeared without a trace by spewing out the ‘resurrected corruption’ demonic energy.
Calliope style 3 meals ─ parbing (破氷)
As the guy grabbed the holy sword with both hands and slashed it wide, the ground could not stand it and was ripped off.
Instead of stepping back, I ducked down as if my body was touching the floor.
Poo-!
Boulders bounced off her body her, tearing her skin and cracking her bones, but she survived.
“…”
‘Resurrected Corruption’, who confirmed that I was avoiding even parbing, grabbed the sword in the opposite direction without stopping and lowered it diagonally.
Calliope Type 6 – Extreme Ice World
The appearance is similar to parbing, but the content is completely different.
That sword doesn’t just cut through the air.
In other words, it is a technology that creates a world of extreme ice by cutting down all of the energy in the air, except for the cold.
‘I was waiting.’
I knew it the moment I dodged the sword.
That guy is certain of victory.
I ran further forward.
Damn-
The world of extreme ice is coming and, as expected, the ice sticks to the legs.
Parching—!
Breaks right away
“…!”
Even though his face was covered with a helmet, he could feel the ‘revived corruption’ started.
– Extremely increases cold resistance.
– The affinity of cold heat is significantly increased.
He probably wouldn’t have expected that I’d ingested ice crystals.
However, the hesitation of the ‘resurrected fall’ did not last long.
Calliope style 2 meals ─ short ice (斷氷)
A stab that boasts the fastest speed among Calliope’s sword techniques.
‘I don’t avoid this.’
He Throws the right hand, strengthened by telekinesis, at the ice shot towards the head, twisting the sword’s trajectory.
Kwazigiik─
I felt a burning pain as my right hand was completely ripped off.
‘However…’
I survived this time too.
Although her body was in disarray, she managed to get to the front of the ‘revived corruption’somehow.
“…”
“…”
A short amount of time, not enough to blink once.
‘Resurrected Corruption’ and I exchanged glances.
It was like he was asking me.
What are you going to do with such a broken body?
As he said, both magic and stamina are already at the bottom.
I couldn’t use intermediate magic, and at most I could use low-level magic two or three times.
The odds don’t exist for me.
The plan was to make him think…
[Tie it up (Low Special Magic)] – [Created as a trainer from ‘Lucia’, power 77.2%]
The magic used during the bondage play with Lucia.
Compared to normal restraint magic that uses medium-level magic, this guy consumes only the mana needed for low-level magic.
Looking at it this way, it is a magic with good cost-effectiveness, but it had a fatal flaw that it could not be used without the permission of the other party.
‘…However.’
I hate to admit it, but this guy is me.
It was proved by being swallowed up by the shadows.
As long as I allowed it, there was no need to ask for his permission.
Kuwook-!
Even if ‘resurrected corruption’ was tied, what I used was low-level magic.
It’s just a level where you can release it once you give it strength.
But that gap was enough.
「Rise — Shadow」
While he was tied up, I took out a wooden box from the shadows and at the same time used my telekinesis to smash it.
“… !”
At that moment, for the first time, I felt that he was astonished, not embarrassed.
‘Creeping fear’
This was the last hand I had.
As soon as I put the tentacle floating in the air into my mouth and swallowed it, I felt a swarm of insects crawling inside my body.
Chow!
And the right arm that grew back with the power of the tentacles.
Concentrating all my strength on my right arm, I fired the holy sword held by ‘Resurrected Corruption’.
“…!!”
The guy who lost the holy sword is surprised and stretches it out in his hand.
「Swallow—Shadow」
Unfortunately, the holy sword had already been swallowed by the shadow.
“.
Pug, pug, pug!
After confirming that the holy sword was gone, the ‘Resurrected Corruption’ loses his temper and continues to strike his fist.
“…Let me… Let go…!!”
The voice of a guy scratching metal.
“…Fuck…You… You asshole…”
I also answered in a strained voice.
Kwajik-!
The face that was crushed by the attack of ‘Resurrected Corruption’ is restored and crushed by the power of the tentacles, and then crushed again.
It’s not just the face.
Every part of the body that the fist touches is crushed like that.
…But that’s fine.
I didn’t think of winning in a cool way from the beginning.
Even if it’s cowardly and ugly, if I survive somehow, it’s my victory.
“… Gooooo aooooo!”
Sensing his own defeat, the ‘Resurrected Corruption’ screams in anger and slams his fist into the chest.
Took—
It didn’t hurt anymore.
“…Gah…Ah…!!”
The demonic energy supplied by the holy sword disappears, and the body of the guy maintained by the demonic energy also turns to dust and falls away.
Tok, tok, tok.
Pieces of armor fall one by one, and the ‘resurrected corruption’ scatters into dust.
‘… Barely… Lived.’
Being alive is a miracle in itself.
He barely survived with the power of his tentacles, but his brain and heart his exploded several times.
─Tung
The moment I saw the lost helmet fall in front of my eyes.
Consciousness went out.
