Chapter 272 – Legacy of House Ellenen (13)
*
Matilda looked at her wordlessly at Siwoo Kim, who was concentrating the flow of her own mana in front of her eyes.
She couldn’t help but admire her mental strength to remain silent and focus on her flow, even though it was obviously in great pain.
It must be incredibly painful, but can a human body withstand this?
It was no exaggeration to say that the work I am currently doing is reconstructing the human body.
‘How are you holding on to this?..’
How can I stay still without struggling?
Callis couldn’t even do this.
Can’t you feel the pain?
“Ugh… Ugh…”
Seeing her impatiently frowning, it was clear that she was feeling pain as it was.
“…”
The person concerned is enduring the pain, but he cannot be still.
“Ku… Cool…”
I don’t know who it is, but I wonder if I’ve become attached to it after seeing the constant fighting.
Matilda put on a pitiful expression and continued her work.
‘It reminds me of the old days…’
She intended to spend the rest of her life studying magic as normal, but she didn’t know that demons would suddenly appear.
At Freya’s request, she met Kalis for the first time.
Born as the son of a poor farmer, a countryman living with the goal of becoming a knight.
At that time he was really a poor person, but how hard she tried to change him into a normal person.
‘He was a monster as much as his talent.’
A genius who was born as the son of a poor farmer and learned mana on his own without anyone’s help.
He had a tremendous talent to the point of being chosen by a goddess, but that was the problem.
The path made by accumulating mana without any foundation was a mess.
Like a road paved with mid-gu heating, it is safe to say that the efficiency of Callis’s body was the worst.
His talent was excellent and he was a sponge-like man who absorbed everything whenever he was informed, but mana efficiency caught him off guard.
The devil’s forces continued to grow stronger, but he couldn’t find a new hero.
And even if they succeed in rescuing them, can they find a human more talented than Kalis?
‘I’ve never seen such a person yet…’
In order to make Kalis into a true warrior, it was necessary to tear down the existing passage and create a new path.
However, it was not something that could be done easily, and it was the worst gamble in which success could not be guaranteed even at the risk of one’s life.
That’s why he was able to create this space with Freya’s help.
A special space where the body continues to be reconstructed without dying even after death is not without limits, but this much was possible.
‘At that time, no matter how much Callis insisted on being sick…’
This was also the reason she knew well about Kalis’ swordsmanship.
It was as if he had fixed the passage of Kalis with his own hands and made a simbeop.
‘Hmm.. I don’t think I need to fix it as much as Kalis..’
Compared to Calis, the passage Kim Si-woo had could be said to be the difference between heaven and earth.
It was almost perfect, as if it had been artificially created.
If there is only a problem, is it not the short circuit, but the path made for the heart?
Her job, like Khalis, was to create a new path that would connect her to Danjeon, and she would create a new path that only he had.
‘It will end sooner than I thought.’
No matter how regenerative the space was, she alone could not reconstruct Kim Si-woo’s body.
He could open a road, but it was up to Kim Si-woo to make it into a road.
“…”
…
How long has it been
Matilda wiped her sweat-soaked brow and stood up.
Kim Si-woo, who died countless times in the process of reconstruction.
‘Couldn’t he have gone crazy?’
Just because he doesn’t die doesn’t mean he can survive everything.
The moment I was looking down at Kim Si-woo, who was covered in blood with a worried face, my closed eyes opened.
“Is it over?”
“I don’t know if it’s human.”
“Thank you. What should I call you?”
“I don’t know…”
“You’re picky.”
Siwoo Kim muttered that and stood up from his seat.
He staggered from sitting for a long time, but somehow managed to get up.
“I felt it while examining your body earlier, but you’re not a person here, are you?”
“…How did know?”
“I felt a very foreign aura in my heart. It’s not mana, it’s not demon power, it’s another power.”
Seeing his confident face, Kim Si-woo nodded his head without making excuses.
“Well… I don’t think I can hide it.”
“Probably she sent it. It’s still her random thing.”
“Right. Frey…”
“That’s all I can help with. I’ve simply helped build the road, and how you use it is up to you.”
“You mean to pass the test?”
“Yeah.. That’s a promise. Good luck.”
Finally, with that answer, Kim Si-woo’s doppelganger changed to appear emotionless, just like the first time they met.
“Yes. Let’s try.”
*
He never thought he would do this again.
I thought I wouldn’t have to go through anything other than stabilizing my mana that was about to burst with Seo-ah’s help in the past.
Who would have known that I would come to another dimension and experience it again.
‘I can’t even count how many times I’ve died.’
Every time I moved my stiff body, my body made a crunching sound.
By the way, it felt like Danjeon was finally in place.
In the past, it had a strong feeling of just storing magical energy, but now it felt like the magic heart had doubled.
Feeling awkward because of the sudden increase in presence.
Every time the magic was circulated, it felt different because of the structure that changed.
The only way to adapt to this is to continue to accumulate experience and learn as you do now.
“Anyway… There’s no easy way to go.”
What can I do, since I have no talent, I have no choice but to keep trying in an ignorant way.
Given that she knew of Freyja’s existence, she was presumed to be Matilda, as expected.
Without her help, she wouldn’t have grown so fast.
[ “I still remember…” ]
Freya’s voice, somehow faint, I don’t know what kind of relationship the two had, but it felt like it wasn’t a relationship between a god and a human.
‘Do you know something?’
[“I’m sorry. I don’t think I can say this in any other way.” ]
Well, it probably doesn’t matter now.
Let’s try it like always
*
A quiet space without a single wind.
As if reacting to each other’s will, the power around the two of them contained their will.
In the space where there should be nothing, two blue moons were guarding their positions in the thick darkness.
It was enough to be distracted by the foreign light, but it was a story that had nothing to do with those standing under it.
While facing each other, holding the sword, they slowly stepped forward.
Elenenga Arcane Swordsmanship.
Cheongwolbo [靑月步]
The moment your feet touched the ground, they disappeared in an instant, as if melted in the moonlight.
__Paaang!!!!
It suddenly appeared in the dark with an intense rupture sound. Her hair fluttered in the shockwave that occurred the moment the swords touched.
The moment a man stained with darkness rushed to stab his heart, the number of men increased to two.
Kim Si-woo closed his eyes in a situation where he could not tell which was false and which was real.
It had substance, as if both were real. The moment he had to make a choice within a very short time, Kim Si-woo quietly opened his eyes.
Full moon [幻月]
Before the sword reached his heart, Kim Si-woo, who was split in two, swung the sword like a man.
__Chaeeng!!!
At the same time, along with the sounding shock wave, the figures of the man on the left and Siwoo Kim dispersed like smoke.
In a situation where they had no choice but to doubt their eyes, the two swung their swords silently without being surprised at all.
Every time the moon that conjures a person shines, the figures of the two disappear and then suddenly appear.
__Kwaguawang!!!
The swords simply collided, but the sound of an explosion so intense that my heart rang filled the air.
Unlike before, when it was pushed unilaterally, the doppelganger slowly began to be pushed back.
___________________!!!!
Aura and aura met, and a creepy sound resounded as something was being ground.
A doppelganger who is slowly being pushed back by the power of Antima.
“…”
He seemed to be hiding and quickly stepping back, as if he had no intention of fighting in a way that was disadvantageous to him.
It was possible to determine the location to some extent when it was close, but it was a characteristic of Cheongwolbo that it was impossible to determine the location when the distance fell.
As long as it was a swordsmanship implemented with the will of those around it, it was impossible to tell what was fake and what was real.
Kim Si-woo, who reacts quickly with his animal-like senses accumulated through continuous battles.
He didn’t have time to think about which ones were fake and which ones were real.
Even if he hesitated for a short time, it was a battle where his throat ran away.
A battle ensued where there was no time to breathe, and everyone retreated back.
“…”
“…”
The two faced each other and quietly raised their swords. The moment the moon started shining brighter than before, the two swung their swords into the air.
The blade moved naturally like water flowing, and the moon that had been floating in the sky began to set with such a natural movement.
Falling moon [落月]
The moment the moon disappeared, a huge shock occurred that seemed to sweep everything away.
When the light disappears, only darkness remains.
__Kagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagaga!!!!!!!!!!
Everything around disappeared with a huge explosion.
In the place where the light disappeared and the darkness fell, nothing could be seen.
After a deafening, intense explosion.
“…”
As the darkness that engulfed the surroundings disappeared, a figure slowly began to emerge between the two.
In a shock so intense that the space, which had been fine with any shock, was half destroyed, only one person stood firm.
“…”
When everything disappeared, only Kim Si-woo was left.
