Chapter 145 – Crown of Trials
I put on my coat, put on my shoes, and slipped out into the hallway.
My head was complicated. Other thoughts kept popping into my head as if they were biting their tails. I just messed up my hair.
I stared at the mask window.
“Heavenly Horse”. It starts with mastering the Magi. It is a nonsensical unique ability that controls all the demons around it and can even draw and use the opponent’s demons.
The ability to call all demons and demon lords natural enemies.
Dominate, not indulge. It is one of the few abilities that later evolve into an Ex rank.
But if there are advantages, there are also disadvantages. The spirits of the heavenly demons, called artificial demons, exist in “Heavenly Demons”. Those ghosts struggle to take over the user’s body.
‘Actually, that’s not even a disadvantage.’
“Heavenly Horse”.
Its real downside isn’t that. This is because the ability called [Heavenly Demon] Changes my status window.
A little more like the Heavenly Demon, a little more like the Demon King.
「Overlord」, 「Yin-Yang body」, 「Byeongangsoe」. All of these traits I have are changed to traits such as 「Heavenly Demon Retardation」, 「Super Intuition」, And 「Evil Sense」, And I adjust them to suit the way the Heavenly Demon fights.
That’s why I was wary of acquiring the “Heavenly Demon”.
I took a few deep breaths.
Anyway, I got a mask that imitates the current celestial demon.
‘Should I use it?’
Various thoughts were entangled.
Right now, my characteristics are a little unstable. Extremely strengthening stats, raising one level in an instant, dragging the opponent into a short-term decisive battle to finish off the opponent.
That is the basic gist of my fighting style. It’s not a way to give flesh and take bones. It is a battle method of giving bones and taking bones.
However, the story changes when you master the Thunder Spirit Art and acquire the Thunder God. It’s because if you get the spirit called Thunder God, your attack power will increase dramatically.
It changes from giving bones to taking bones to fighting by giving bones and taking the life of the opponent.
If he even gains the god of thunder, he becomes strong enough to kill an opponent of the same rank in a short-term decisive battle in one breath.
‘Even if it’s up to the prize.’
The highest grade is tough.
There are plenty of villains who live on only regenerative power, but there are those who die only when they are broken down into cells, and those who erase mountains with a single blow.
… Anyway, if [Heavenly Demon] Interferes with my fighting style and changes my ability, my attack power becomes too ambiguous. Extremely biased attack power is reduced, and it becomes all-round so that it can respond to other situations.
All-around.
It’s a nice word, but in other words, it can be an obscure ambiguity.
As I walked down the hallway with my hair tousled, a building came into view.
A building made of black wood.
It is called Professor Dong, and it is a place where all kinds of professors and fairies live. Most of the professors have a house, but there are many people who live here because the professor’s building is rich in mana.
As he headed toward the professor’s building, several fairies caught his eye.
I passed the fairies and took my phone out of my pocket. I took out my cell phone and sent a message to Grandehill.
– Dehil, can we meet now?
Dehil was my nickname for Grandehil.
-Grande Hill: Yes, it is possible.
Less than two seconds after sending the message, a reply came.
-Grande Hill: I am currently educating student Kim Si-yeon. It’s going to take a little while. Is that okay?
-Yep
I replied succinctly and headed to the building.
“What are you here for?”
A boy who looked like a middle school student standing in front of the building asked me.
“I’m here to meet Grande Hill.”
“Ah, so you’re here to meet the lady-in-waiting.”
The fairy scribbled something on the blackboard. Then he nodded her head and said she was allowed in.
“The lady-in-waiting is currently in building C-12. If she heads that way, she will be able to see her.”
“Yeah.”
I walked straight inside.
As I walked inside while looking at the map provided nearby, I saw the training ground. I opened the door a little and looked inside.
A battle was going on inside.
Hwaaak!
A fierce gust of wind was blowing in all directions. A pale green wolf formed by the wind was growling at Grandehill.
It was Kim Si-yeon’s ability, the power of the storm.
Kim Si-yeon in that state becomes an extremely difficult being. This is because her speed increases to the limit, and she even has the power of killing a god with a storm.
Dig!
Kim Si-yeon’s eyes shone light green. As her black hair took in the mana of the storm, she began to turn light green.
Then she channeled her mana into her sword. Light green wind. The storm’s mana, which denied all existence, stayed in Kim Si-yeon’s sword.
I was curious about how strong Kim Si-yeon had suddenly become, so I used the knowledge browsing.
▼
Name: Siyeon Kim
Strength: 17
Agility: 25
Stamina: 19
Magic attribute: 25
Unique Ability: Storm
Attributes: Mythical Wolf (S), Wind God (A), Beast Intuition (B+), Flexible Body (C+)
It was an extreme ability. Only magic and agility were raised to increase attack power. Characteristics are also well developed.
Koo Goo Goo!
A gale arose. The light green wind turned into a storm and blew in all directions. Grandehill looked at it calmly and held out a sword with only the handle.
The air was drawn like black ink scattered on drawing paper. Kim Si-yeon’s gale spread in all directions and shot toward Grande Hill.
Blades of wind in the shape of a crescent moon were fired in all directions of Grande Hill. Grande Hill put her sword forward expressionlessly.
The handle of the sword received Grandehill’s mana, and the black ink took shape in the form of a sword.
Grandehill’s movement is the epitome of simplicity. She avoided anything that could avoid the blades in the form of a crescent moon thrown by Kim Si-yeon, and those that hit her body were torn with the blade made of space control.
Kim Si-yeon’s attack continued.
“Suck!”
Siyeon Kim put her hands together and made her light green beads.
Kwagwagwa—!
A gale swept around. The wind began to blow around the light green sphere. The wind ate up the mana around it and grew bigger, becoming a huge storm.
I was puzzled.
‘Have you learned that already?’
That kind of attack is better against opponents weaker than you. Because the light green orb is the center of that storm. If you destroy that marble, it was a structure that would collapse at once.
On the face of it, that is.
The ink in front of Grande Hill reflected light green marbles. Grandehill swung his sword.
Dig-!
The orb glowed and the gale lost its power.
“It wasn’t a bad try. I used mana around me to weaken the magic of denying existence, but the range is still good and the attack power is not bad. However, the weakness is too obvious.”
I heard Grandehill’s low-pitched voice.
Looking at the scene, Siyeon Kim grinned.
Wooooo!
The wind blew toward the orb. The stormy winds blew toward Grande Hill at once with a direction.
Kwagwagwagwagwa—!
The greenish winds came together one by one, creating greenish waves. They started to wave toward Grande Hill.
Grandehill made an admiring expression. And pair. I did the act of clapping my hands. With that, Grandehill occupied Kim Si-yeon’s back.
This was the reason why people with abilities related to the space world were evaluated as strong. Attack if attack, defend if defense, utility if utility. Because they all have strengths.
“It was a pretty good try. The act of inducing distraction and destroying marbles, fighting back by itself.”
“This… Profit… This, this dog… !”
Grande Hill praised Siyeon Kim, but Siyeon Kim seemed to be indignant, and she glared at Grande Hill. Is now the time to intervene?
I sighed and clapped my hands.
Clap clap clap
Grandehill and Kim Si-yeon’s eyes turned to me. Siyeon Kim opened her eyes wide and looked surprised, and Grande Hill greeted me with a relatively calm expression.
“It’s been a while, sister.”
“Uh? Shi, Siwoo!”
She came in front of me just as Kim Si-yeon flew at me. She looked at me with twinkling eyes. It seemed that something like a dog’s tail could be seen behind Kim Si-yeon.
“But what happened? You said you were going on a trip to Japan with me next month, but you couldn’t stand it and came to see me?”
I moderately nodded in affirmation.
Then, Grandehill’s expression twisted a little.
“Siwoo. Shall we go soon?”
Where didn’t say that The atmosphere at Grande Hill was a bit heavy. I nodded and opened my mouth.
“Is that so? Oh, come to think of it, Siyeon-noona said that you can write and receive letters these days, right?”
Under the rule that you shouldn’t be too tight, Kim Si-yeon is taking some of her freedom. However, the problem with her is that her freedom is about the size of a letter. Who the hell writes letters these days?
I took out a piece of paper and a pen from the subspace, wrote down my dormitory address, and gave it to Siyeon Kim.
“Write a letter here, sister.”
“Ugh, okay. Be sure to reply!”
Kim Si-yeon said in a slightly weak voice. I nodded and said that I would definitely reply, and walked to another place with Grandehill.
“Sorry, was it sudden? Is it break time now? I’ll finish the business quickly and go.”
“No. It’s break time, but I think seeing Siwoo is more relaxing.”
I was puzzled.
Grandehill’s words caught on more than I thought.
“… Yes?”
I suddenly remembered that most of the requests were made to Grandehill.
“Yeah. But what about?”
“No, I just want to see you. It’s been a while since I’ve been on a date… I guess it’s a bit difficult.”
“…It’s possible.”
Grandehill nodded slowly and said.
With a slightly scary smile.
***
Abandoned building with half-collapsed walls and broken windows visible. There, in the moonlight, Hong Yu-hwa brushed her red hair.
“A lazy goat?”
It was a lovely voice.
The shadow nodded at the words of her own master.
“Yes. News is coming that the sloth goat has awakened. What should I do?”
“Isn’t it too far for the lazy goat to wake up?”
“Yes. This is an unexpected situation. The gluttony worm and the jealous snake also show signs of waking up earlier than expected.”
“And those two too?”
Hmm-Hong Yu-hwa thought as she twisted her blood-red hair with her fingers. Some of the giants fell asleep to recover their strength in the aftermath of the battle.
The dragon of arrogance was sharpening its sword of vengeance and gaining strength, and the beast of greed did not want to reveal itself. The demon beast of rage was overconfident in its own strength and was about to be killed by humans, so it took refuge in a deep place out of reach of humans.
How can the so-called giants become like this? If the demon king saw it, he would have been pathetic and replaced the giant evil.
“Was the place where the lazy goat slept in Japan?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Prepare. I am going to Japan.”
“All right.”
The shadow has disappeared somewhere.
Hong Yu-hwa lazily placed her hand on her chin.
A man clad in purple thunderbolts came to mind. Did he say Siwoo Lee? Even though he couldn’t use his power properly because of the queen’s notice, he was a person who kept pushing himself.
I was intrigued and asked to investigate. The more I got to know him, the more interesting he was.
At the beginning of her semester, she clearly had less ability than most students. Did she hide herself, or did she awaken her talent for some reason?
She found the former interesting too, but the latter more interesting.
With that level of talent, over time, wouldn’t she be able to become one of the giants?
I remembered the man I sent some time ago. He is an illusionist who uses the mental system. It’s been a while since the man, but there is no news.
‘Maybe.’
He would be dead In the hands of a man called Siu Lee.
Hong Yu-hwa smiled leaning forward.
