Chapter 148 – 148 Arcane Swordsmanship (8)
*
The first one grabbed a knife and ran at it.
A sharp attack aiming for a vital point was let go of the side of the sword, and the body was exposed defenseless.
Just as I was about to knock it down in one shot, an attack from a guy with a spear came in from behind to keep me in check.
‘The timing is better than I thought…’
In a situation where I would be attacked in reverse if I went further in here, I stepped back without panicking.
“We have an unconditional advantage! Run!!”
Even the one who first let off the attack appears to be running towards it without showing any signs of fear.
“Protect Minji!!”
“For Minji!!”
I was dumbfounded by the sight, so my expression hardened.
What do they mean by protecting Minji?
Compared to what seems like nothing special, the guys got along better than I thought.
They weren’t even opponents in a one-on-one comparison, but seeing the guys with each other, I changed my mind.
They could be said to be quite advanced in their hunting skills.
How many hunters can beat a large monster one-on-one?
Unless you are a top-tier hunter, it will be impossible to defeat large monsters alone in most cases.
But man is an animal that knows how to use his head. It hunts large monsters based on pattern analysis of their weaknesses, attack ranges, and how they move.
Even hunters who look weak when viewed individually, many hunters who are well matched can catch monsters that cannot be hunted individually.
Disperse the eyes of large monsters through appropriate aggro, and if you keep accumulating even weak damage, you can never ignore it.
When it comes to hunting, there are times when low-ranking hunters who are well matched perform better than high-ranking hunters who do not match.
And the guys got along well.
“Aim for an opening right after the attack!”
“Attack the rear!”
As if hunting monsters, they were building a perfect formation.
The guys in front attack with the main attack, the guys with long-range weapons like spears aim for gaps, or interrupt the moment I want to attack.
They were very difficult guys to deal with. There was hardly any opportunity to attack.
“I got hit in the shoulder!!”
“A12 covers right away, both thrusting at the same time!”
Because I only have two arms, it was difficult to react to attacks coming in almost simultaneously.
I’ve had a lot of experience fighting many people, but it’s the first time I’ve fought with guys who match so well.
The guys who fought earlier had gaps between attacks even if they attacked together, but they had almost no gaps.
At least because of the difference in swordsmanship, he was successful in attacking once by throwing away the sword and hitting the counter, but it was difficult to succeed in a proper attack.
‘Haven’t you done this once or twice…’
It was not a move that could be made in a short time. I don’t know how many victims there are.
Compared to their appearance, they weren’t easygoing guys.
“Okay! Keep backing up!!”
“Rush!! Protect Minji!!”
The good news is that because all of them had to move together at once, their movement speed was reduced.
It wasn’t a proper battle, but it felt strange to be being pushed by them.
It was very annoying as if he had received professional training for Daguri.
“Fireball!!”
“Thunderball!!”
If you want to step back too far, those who appear to be wizards behind you will blow their magic.
As I threw myself away with a backward roll, the magic they threw fell on the spot where I was.
To be honest, I thought I could win even if I was rough, but they were quite talented than I thought.
“Why is that bastard so good at avoiding…?”
“I’m starting to get a bit anxious…”
“Gal! Are you saying that your feelings for Minji-nim are only that much!”
“Hmm… I didn’t intend to fight properly, but I can’t help it.”
I was thinking of dealing with him in moderation, but I feel like it won’t end like that.
It just looked good to knock it down quickly.
[Anti-Ma: Activate]
[Sword Aura: Activate]
A pure blue flame began to bloom on the practice sword.
“Is that the anti-magic ability?”
“Ha, it’s nothing, don’t worry!”
I’ll admit that the ability to collaborate is good. It is also true that if the cooperative ability is good, even low-ranked hunters can face stronger enemies.
But there was a pretty big wall between them and me.
The moment I leaped with magical energy in my legs, the distance with them was reduced in an instant.
“Uh..Uhh..!”
Among the cadets, my stats are near the top. How many B+ rank hunters out of the beggar cadets who were underestimated because of the previous evaluation?
Except for the guys standing leisurely at the back, I could honestly say that they were talking nonsense.
Even so, it seems to occupy a position in the mid-level, but it is not my opponent.
I admit that the ability to complement each other’s movements is excellent and the sum is well matched. But if you can’t withstand the attack, that’s meaningless.
The guy who first wielded the sword lifted the sword belatedly, but the moment the sword touched the brightly shining aura.
His sword was cut off.
“Sa… Save!”
Well, he wasn’t a villain, and he had no intention of killing the cadet. I hit him on the chin with the back of the sword handle.
One ended up like this.
The guys next to me and the guy behind me hurriedly attacked with spears, but the situation was different from before.
I cut the swords of the guys next to me with an aura and grabbed the spear stabbed by the guy behind me with my other hand and pulled it.
“Fuck…Fuck!!”
I must have been holding onto the spear quite tightly, so the guy behind me was dragged along. He stunned him by striking him in the chin, and the sword was cut off and he thrust his fist into the abdomen of the panicking guys.
“Kuuk!!”
“Puuk!!”
They flew off with a loud noise and crashed into the wall.
“Fireball!!”
“Ice Bolt!!”
Belatedly, the wizards cast magic, but the moment it touched the aura, it disappeared in the air with a small shock.
“I… I didn’t say that much!”
“I heard you raised your rank by cheating!!”
“Get some sleep.”
When I put my fist into the abdomen of the screaming guys, I passed out as I drool.
“Mi…Protect Minji!!”
“For Minji!!”
His feelings for Min-ji were not false, and even when his defeat was confirmed, he ran without fear.
That’s commendable, but I don’t know why Minji does something she doesn’t like.
One-shot, one-kill, just one person fell down with each swing of the fist.
I knew it had gotten stronger, but I didn’t know it would make such a difference.
‘Was the aura too much…’
Well, it’s not even the top rank among first-year students, and I’m sure the middle-class guys can’t withstand my ability, which is no different from an active hunter.
As they fell one by one with each attack, the formation they boasted of and everything became meaningless.
However, because of the attack to the extent that it did not die, the sound of music was resonating around.
“Ugh…”
“Kreak…”
I’ll have to take care of Minji so that he doesn’t bother me after defeating him.
“The rumors weren’t true…”
“Rumor?”
“There were rumors that you climbed the ranks through dishonest things… It doesn’t matter.”
The guy who seemed strong at least warmed up and walked forward.
“Because the swordsman can’t be my opponent.”
He threw off his uniform and murmured. He pulled up his shirt, revealing his bulging muscles.
Starting with his hands, his entire body gradually began to transform into a metallic material.
‘Is he a unique ability?’
The guy who looked like a metal man looked solid even from the outside.
“You shouldn’t have crossed the line… Siwoo Kim.”
“Did I cross the line?”
“How dare you treat Minji-nim that way? A guy like you is not a woman who can do anything carelessly!!”
He screamed and came running, swinging his sword involuntarily.
‘I made a mistake…!’
Contrary to the expectation that he would be seriously injured, the aura on his arms was lightly blocked. Hardness beyond expectations.
Haha!! It’s not even itchy!!”
He pushed away his sword and began ignorantly swinging his fists. It is ignorantly hard enough to block even an aura.
“…?”
The moment I dodged his fist, the wall behind me shattered like a cookie. He wasn’t as bad as he thought.
“I’ll take care of it so that you can’t approach Minji again…!”
It was a skill I had never heard of before. Inherent Ability Metallization [金屬化] The ability to change one’s body into metal through magic.
He had heard that it was not a metal such as iron or gold, but that it could withstand any impact if converted into a higher metal.
‘Maybe his name is… Is it Kim Dong-pil, who is ranked 150th in the freshman year rankings?’
He was a guy who could take all attacks with his body, and he remembered his name because he was the one who could take sword swordsman with his bare body.
It was an ability that was called the counter of swordsmen because it was so hard that sword skills did not work.
He had once looked at him and wondered how hard he would be, but he never thought such a good opportunity would arise.
“Are you Kim Dong-pil?”
“That… I don’t know who he is.”
If he doesn’t know, he says he doesn’t know, he calls him.
“Aren’t you? A person with the ability to metallize.”
“I… I don’t know! Don’t just run away, attack. Siwoo Kim!!”
Seeing the reaction, Kim Dong-pil became clear. I heard that the instructors also acknowledged Kim Dong-pil’s hardness.
He swung his sword a few times to avoid his fist, but it was my sword that bounced off. Looking at the body of a guy who can withstand the current aura, admiration came out.
‘He’s famous for being tough, so will he be able to withstand my sword skills?’
[ The power of the sword aura increases due to the excess magic attribute. 130%]
[ The power of the sword aura increases due to the excess magic attribute. 140%]
[ The power of the sword aura increases due to the excess magic attribute. 150%]
…
As soon as he began to pour ignorant magical power into the sword, the surrounding magical power around the sword began to rotate with a terrifying force.
“How long are you going to run away!! Kim Siwoo!!”
“Shall we check how hard it is?”
He had a calm voice even when he saw my swordsman burning with terrifying momentum. He seemed confident in his abilities.
I started swinging my sword at him without mercy.
When I started to speed up the attack, he couldn’t react and was attacked one-sidedly.
‘Crazy… What is so hard…’
Upon contact, sparks flew in all directions. Rather, it was my aura that was pushed aside after the violent collision.
“Didn’t I tell you? A swordsman can’t beat me!!!”
It was a threatening attack, but it wasn’t difficult to dodge the attack, perhaps because he was less agile than me.
A defense that can never be penetrated by the current Aura. The best opponent to test the cutting power of my aura.
‘This… Isn’t that the best punching bag?’
