Chapter 108 – Power-Up Event
This year, we celebrated the New Year in Oz, not on the street.
And instead of tteokguk, I got one year older.
28 years have already passed since I was reincarnated.
In another world, there was no particular culture to celebrate the New Year.
Master and I have lived in oriental cultures in our previous lives, so we are used to such things, but people here seem to think of it as just a day when families get together and have a meal.
So on January 1st, I was satisfied with eating out with two people living together.
It’s been a long time since I ate roast turkey, so it was quite delicious.
After the frantic drinking party, Dorothea often went out for a drink with me, probably liking the Korean drinking party culture.
Madame Maria greeted me with her smile every time, and when I asked why, she said it was because my reputation among the ladies at Changgwan had greatly improved.
Unlike other VIPs, he gives a lot of tips, and his table manners are really good.
I know it’s meant to be nice to hear, but as a man, I couldn’t help but shrug my shoulders.
Anyway, while me and Dorothea went in and out of the bar, Vanessa stayed home alone and immersed herself in her training.
She said that a sword master who has reached the limit of nothingness would like to do more by training, but she said that she was aiming for a higher level than the sword master.
Like Tier 9 or Tier 10, it only exists in theory, so she’s still lost her way, but I decided to support Vanessa’s dream.
After becoming a durahan and living with only one sword for 300 years, shouldn’t he achieve at least one thing he wants?
I also had a time when I was so madly engrossed in training, so I understood that feeling even more.
It was when I was wasting my time in Oz.
“Yes? Suddenly, let’s practice?”
“Yes, training. It’s been quite a while since you sparred with me.”
Called to the Emerald Tower by a sudden call, I blinked at Master’s suggestion.
“Didn’t you say that when I reached the 6th rank, it was enough?”
“But I became the 7th tier. If I feel unfair about being weaker than me, I get stronger.”
“No, did you call me from this puppet early in the morning to say that?”
“I have to work during the day too. I don’t have time otherwise.”
While Master said that, she gestured to me to prepare quickly.
‘Damn it.’
Even though I grumbled inside, I knew there was no way to escape from Master’s clutches right now, so I had no choice but to prepare for sparring.
“Sueuuuuu…”
As a former Moorim person, Master’s specialty is hand-to-hand combat.
It was the same for me, who was taught martial arts directly by Master.
We slowly distanced ourselves from each other in the wide open space under the mage tower.
Bondi, the fight between masters begins with a territorial fight.
Slowly and deeply
We started breathing the same way.
Oh oh oh ──
Oh oh oh
It was like looking in a mirror.
The same posture for each other, the same breathing method for each other.
Although she changed from an old woman to a little girl through the half-role, Master was still Master.
I can’t picture myself winning.
So, I felt more challenged.
Kwadeuk-
The density of the rapidly rising magical power dug a hole under my feet.
Serene stillness.
Master flicked his hand as if asking him to come first, and I gladly complied.
Bang!!
A new model that shoots out like a missile.
I kicked Master’s waist with my leg wrapped around the fan blade.
“Late!”
However, after removing my legs with a nonchalant expression, Master took advantage of her small size and dug into her bosom.
Then, turn your body slightly and slam your shoulders into your chest.
Wind Demon Goddess
Type 4 Wind Forest Fire Mountain
“Keukhak!”
I vomited blood and flew back.
However, Master’s attacks did not end there.
Wind Demon Goddess
Type 2 Hwa-Pung-Nan-Yang
Like flowers blooming, dozens of wind chimes rise from the air and beat my body countless times.
If I stayed still like this, it seemed like I would become a good punching bag like before, so I hurriedly turned over and launched a counterattack.
‘Iljin Grenade’
The intangible blade flies towards Master.
However, the master might have noticed the attack even though he couldn’t see it with his magic wave, and it was not difficult to beat the lightning storm with his capital.
… Completely pushed out of a water fight.
I immediately changed my strategy.
Changes the magic armament worn on the body from Whirlwind Dogol to Jajeon Ilseom.
As purple lightning flashed from his limbs, Master’s face changed for the first time.
This is Ozma’s original spell.
Of course, it was bound to be a type of magic that Master had never seen before.
I immediately kicked the ground.
Phut!!
Body lighter than before.
Whirlwind Dogol was a magic that combined attack and defense, and Jajeon Ilseom was a magic that only focused on speed.
“Where!”
However, Master responded to my speed, which was hard to follow with the eye.
A fist that came right in front of me.
However, the real scary thing about bicycle rotation is that it is not simply that the speed of the body increases.
By manipulating bioelectrical currents to the brain and accelerating to the speed of thinking, reflexes have been greatly strengthened.
I momentarily knocked off Master’s fist and hit his chest with the tip of my toe.
“Kuk!”
A small body pushed helplessly.
There was a feeling of hitting, but it didn’t seem to go in properly, so I immediately stepped on the advance and twisted my right hand.
The fist, entangled in lightning, flies toward Master’s chin.
‘This works!’
It was when I called for joy in my heart.
“Did you think you won?”
A nasty smile appeared on Master’s face, which had been wearing a look of embarrassment until just now.
Whiririk!
Even with just a slight touch, the trajectory of the fist deflected arbitrarily.
As a result of this, Master threw me to the ground by hanging my legs naturally.
Thud!!
It feels like my power has been used against me.
As I stared blankly at the ceiling of the training ground, Master looked down at me with her hands behind her back.
“How about sparring with Master after a long time?”
I looked up at such a master and smiled dejectedly.
“You’re still strong.”
“It’s too obvious, so I have nothing to say.”
“…What was the technique you just used?”
Then, Master answered by gently rubbing his face with the Baekwooseon that he always carries.
“This is Taegeuk’s technique. I applied a little bit of the shaman’s skills.”
“Master, you’re from the albino sect.”
“As there is a saying, ‘Wuu (Martial Arts)’ is a law that goes up to the top, everything leads to one road.”
While still saying things that I couldn’t understand, Master glanced at my stomach.
“Rather than that, you’ve gained some belly fat. Have you been eating well and playing well lately?”
I immediately excused myself.
“Personally, I’m so busy that I don’t have time to exercise…”
“Go! Exercise is what you have to do even when you don’t have time!
After hearing Master’s screams for the first time in a while, I immediately stood up.
My whole body was throbbing, but it wasn’t to the extent that I couldn’t move, probably because Master was controlling my strength.
“Didn’t you call me to exercise anyway? I have nothing to do for the time being, so let Master roll me.”
Master then looked at me as if he was dumbfounded.
“You still have a thick face.”
“What can I do, I was born like this.”
After I said that and shrugged his shoulders, Master covered his mouth with Baekwooseon and smiled.
“Are you prepared?”
“If I was afraid of training, I would have gone into hiding without coming here in the first place. You know that well. My personality.”
Then Master nodded and said,
“Then, I’ll pass it on from now on. The vision of the school that I newly organized as I ascended to the 7th tier.”
“Are you referring to the techniques I just used? It doesn’t seem like much has changed from what I learned.”
Master then shook his head and spread both hands.
“I realized that there was a problem with the existing magic composition formula as I climbed to the 7th tier. I optimized it and developed a new magic technique that fits our school’s arcane breathing method.”
“What is that?”
“Wind Demon Goddess.”
As soon as I heard a familiar name, I had no choice but to tackle it.
“Isn’t that the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art?”
“Shut up.”
Match!
“Ooh! Against dictatorship!”
After being hit over the head with a fan, I booed Master.
However, Master snorted at him and did not pretend to listen to the disciple’s opinion.
Although he is our master, his naming sense is very poor.
If only I followed my half, I could have given it a cooler name.
“Anyway, from this time on, you will become the learner of our school’s vision, the Heavenly Demon Art.
“Master, did you just say the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art?”
“I’m getting tongue-tied because of you, so shut up!”
Master blushed and pounded my head repeatedly with a fan.
It seems embarrassing to be caught plagiarizing.
