Chapter 397 – Unquenchable Anger (3)
Gluttony.
The energy coiled deep in the chest sweeps the battlefield.
Quad!
The red energy is tearing away once again.
[Hungry gluttony feasts on the power of anger, ‘Unquenchable Rage’!]
[The power of the absorbed power is weak…]
At first, he complained a lot about being forced to eat picky food, but now he obeys me obediently.
No, more accurately, I am learning how to deal with this energy.
[Hungry gluttony… !]
[Absorbed power…]
In the end, it is the power to take away from others.
Therefore, it could not be used hastily.
I don’t really like large-scale, bloody battles, but today was quite enjoyable.
Because I am finally learning how to use this energy most effectively.
“Keuuk… !”
“Aaaaah!”
“Keruk…”
With the red energy on his back, he runs among Lu Bu’s rampaging subordinates.
With two hands filled with the energy of gluttony, he pierces their circuits, selects only the enemy, extracts them, and absorbs them.
Those who lost their power quickly became weaker.
And Chinese soldiers and Orthodox knights approach the weakened guys.
As the unfavorable situation gradually turns around, the size of the enemy energy stored in the body increases.
“Little bit more…”
I feel it.
The enemy plane, which had been sleeping without doing anything due to its weak power, slowly wakes up.
The moment I have enough of it to flow through my body, it will fully wake up.
“Kaaak!”
A new strength will arise in me.
It was a time when I was roaming all over the battlefield like a wolf roaming freely through a flock of sheep.
“This is the last… !”
By the time we had captured the last enemy flag and finally reached the desired size.
Whooooo-!
The huge sound of the blast pierces all the noise and rings fiercely in my ears.
Something is flying.
Let’s recognize that one fact and instinctively throw ourselves forward.
Kwaaaaang-!
A huge crater appeared on the airport floor where I was standing just moments ago.
What can be seen between the rising dust pits is a long window.
No.
What was aimed at me was the Bangcheonhwageuk thrown by Lu Bu.
A guy who walks leisurely across the frozen battlefield for an instant due to the shocking blow.
He went into the crater created by my friend, retrieved the weapon, and pointed it at me again.
“What kind of bizarre trick did you use?”
It seems like he sensed something strange.
But.
Everywhere I pass by, my subordinates lose strength and fall to the ground from enemy attacks, and it’s even weirder if you don’t recognize them.
He shrugs his shoulders and jokes at the harsh question.
“Well.”
Am I crazy?
Reveal the enemy’s bottom line.
As if he didn’t like the sight of me like that, his dark gums twitched.
“… “The young guy speaks short.”
“Isn’t it funny to be polite to your enemy?”
That guy is very funny.
I wonder who is talking about being polite to whom when he himself is the one who speaks informally to those who are weaker than him regardless of age.
He is the typical incarnation of naivety and fire.
“… “You’re not wrong.”
A guy who understands things quickly.
Although he’s a bit lethargic, he’s just that kind of person.
Maybe that’s why it’s so strong.
Maybe it’s because I’m stubborn in some strange places, but in places like this, I have almost no stubbornness.
“But that’s the end of it.”
A guy who moves Bangcheonhwageuk, which easily weighs over 100kg, as freely as if he were turning a toothpick with one hand.
“Since you have piqued my interest, I will deal with you myself from now on.”
The guy is rushing in.
A speed so terrifying that it leaves a dark afterimage wherever it passes.
But it’s not so much that you can’t see it.
If you react calmly, you can repel any number of attacks.
However, the problem is that speed is only a disadvantage, not an advantage.
Lü Bu was called unrivaled during the Three Kingdoms period.
The real strength of the guy who was called his reincarnation or descendant was strength.
“Hriyat!”
Kwakwakwakwa-!
A strength that has reached an unprecedented level of 120.
Bang Cheonhwageuk, wielded with a force that is far beyond the human realm, is aiming for my neck.
Clear the option of defense from your mind.
The only thing to consider is avoidance.
Just because you can see the trajectory, you should not do anything crazy like take a step or two to avoid the attack and think about a counterattack.
The strength of 120 gave a sharp wind that swept the surroundings with just an ordinary swing.
Therefore, when dealing with it, you should always move while assuming an attack range that is 2 to 3 meters longer than the length of Bangcheonhwageuk.
Like right now.
“Eek.”
As I spurted off the ground with two legs full of magical energy and took a quick step back, a bitter wind swept through the area where I had been standing just a moment ago.
Puhwaaaaak!
A rough sound.
That is precisely why Lu Bu reigns in fear among his enemies.
A noise that gives me chills just by hearing it reminds me of what if.
What would have happened if I had blocked that attack instead of dodging it?
After that, the thought of my own death naturally causes the other person to feel fear.
The body naturally shrinks, and the opponent’s attacks become more and more intense.
Okay.
The cause of defeat for most of the enemies facing Lü Bu is self-destruction.
I made an irreversible mistake while trying to escape the endless fear.
The guy who attacked three times in a row curls up one corner of his mouth and chuckles.
“You want to fly like a rat.”
And then immediately takes the cardinal approach again.
“But how long do you think that will last?”
It’s just as he said.
You can never achieve victory just by avoiding attacks.
Are you waiting for the opponent’s stamina to run out after attacking you harshly?
That too is absurd.
That guy is not just strong, he also has great stamina.
Huh-!
Paang!
Kwakwakwa!
This is truly an unreasonable fight.
For example, in the game, Lu Bu is a fraud.
A nonsensical scammer whose one ordinary basic attack and one hit are at the level of another character’s ultimate.
Still, I sometimes fantasized about fighting that guy every time I trained.
He was the strongest in name and reality.
Especially when fighting one-on-one, he is invincible and seems like there is no one he can beat.
So it was fun.
Just by constantly repeating the question, ‘What should I do to fight against that unreasonable guy?’ And finding my own answer, my skills improved noticeably.
I thought the answer would only remain in my head.
Contrary to my ambition to challenge him at least once, my body was falling apart.
But finally the opportunity came.
An opportunity to determine whether the answer I came up with is correct or incorrect.
The guy shouts.
“How long are you going to just run around like a rat?”
Answer this.
“I’m still trying to get along.”
Stop your retreating steps and take your stance.
You can never win by just avoiding it.
So we have to face it.
We must repel this attack that seems absolutely impossible to repel.
There is a sword technique invented for this purpose.
“Hairyu Sword (回流劍).”
Let me see.
Are the answers I wrote on the test named Yeo Bu correct or incorrect?
* * *
Circulation.
As you can guess from the name, the principle was very simple.
Rather than countering the opponent’s strong attack, he accepts it as is and turns his body.
The power gained in this way is gathered into the sword and fired straight at the opponent.
This was the entire principle of the hoiryu sword he created.
In fact, it wasn’t even an invention.
Attacking by exploiting the opponent’s power has been around since before the hunter society began.
Therefore, Lu Bu was not very surprised by the number of opponents.
There is no one in the world who can bear the brunt of my power.
The opponent who knows this is always planning to use his power to counterattack.
“It’s obvious.”
However, no one has succeeded in implementing that method.
To take advantage of an opponent’s power, you literally have to get into the center of his attack.
That is impossible without precise timing, as if measured with a ruler.
Do you think it will be easy?
Surrendering my body to a single-hit killing attack wielded with a strength of 120?
Everyone can think of it with their head, but a body consumed by fear cannot achieve it.
So far, all S-class hunters who have set out to defeat him and gain fame have been like that.
That’s why he had no doubt this time too.
My Bangcheonhwageuk will pierce and destroy the body of an opponent who uses a move close to the enemy.
It was definitely like that.
Cheaeng!
“… !”
I can’t feel any pain from the attack with all my might.
This is because the moment my Bangcheonhwageuk touched, the opponent’s sword and body rotated, sending the attack away.
Lu Bu saw clearly.
The unprecedented power and gaze radiating from a body that spins fiercely like a top before your eyes.
“Amazing.”
I realize it again.
How did the opponent feel when receiving my attack?
That made it even more surprising.
An opponent who takes advantage of a power that even he is not sure he can easily achieve.
A sword strike loaded with rough rotational force created using one’s own strength flies.
Wedge-!
A move faster and sharper than any attack I’ve seen so far.
To prevent this, the spear of Bangcheonhwageuk is raised.
Kwakwakwakwa!
Quad deuk!
Lu Bu’s body is helplessly pushed away by a huge force.
He managed to block the attack by stepping back more than 5 meters and smiled at his opponent.
“Very good.”
High praise that had never come out of his mouth was poured out towards Kim Do-jin.
But when he heard this, he couldn’t laugh.
It was a move of conversion.
A bold and courageous strike that can never be performed unless you are prepared to die.
Thanks to this, he was able to push his opponent 5 meters away and received rave reviews.
‘Wasn’t it the right answer?’
It didn’t seem to be the right answer.
Cheonggrang!
Kim Do-jin loses hold of the sword he was holding.
I tried to hold it somehow, but it was impossible.
The attack made contact for just a split second, but the arm did not respond.
“Up, William. Your arm… !”
Kim Do-jin only looks down at his arm when he hears the saintly woman’s fuss coming from behind him.
The skin on the arm that blocked Lu Bu’s attack had turned dark.
It seems like everything in my arms is shattered and torn.
‘I can’t believe I made my arms like this in just a split second.’
Kim Do-jin commented on himself.
The Hoiryu sword created to deal with him was ‘a wrong answer that was close to the right answer.’
But he was not disappointed.
Because there was now a person by his side who could further develop the ‘wrong answer that was close to the right answer’ and make it a ‘wrong answer that was infinitely close to the right answer.’
“Saint.”
“… Please speak.”
“Please heal my arm. From now on.”
A saint with incredible resilience, able to reattach even her severed arm.
A walking elixir was alive and breathing beside him.
