Chapter 167 – Chapter 02: The Gold Half Is the Hero, the Half Is XXX
‘What the hell is this guy…? … !’
Of course, Moon Ae-ri, who was raised to be an assassin by Crescent from a very young age, was able to quickly overcome her feelings of embarrassment.
However, dealing with embarrassment and coming up with a response to a sudden change in environment were two different problems.
Even if you didn’t panic, it was difficult to immediately think of a way to respond to a weapon that exploded every time the sword body collided.
And that’s why Nefty, who was covering her face with a hoodie that resembled a robe and modulating her voice using techniques she had learned at Crescent, could not help but curse inwardly.
‘Why do you suddenly appear and disturb me during the entrance exam?’ … ?! How on earth do you know the assassination martial arts of those damned pseudo-bastards?!’
A truly unexpected appearance. I was personally interested in Eugene as a character because of what happened during the entrance exam, but that was just a personal story.
The story is that he is a public figure who has absolutely nothing to do with the assassination mission downloaded from Crescent.
Therefore, Moon Ae-ri had no idea that Eugene would naturally intervene the moment she attempted to assassinate the top idol, Nefty, as per the orders given from Crescent.
However, Eugene suddenly intervened without any reason.
It was a very frustrating situation for Moon Ae-ri as she even went so far as to protect Nefty against herself, revealing skills that were incomparable to what she showed during the entrance exam.
‘Fuck… !’
Therefore, she pretends to be as cool as possible on the outside, but in her heart, she curses with all her might, and concludes that she should avoid as much as possible from blocking Eugene’s screaming from the front.
At the same time as making that decision, Moon Ae-ri deceived the opponent’s five senses again, took steps to point behind Jeol Yu-jin’s back, and swung the auror-covered dagger towards Jeol Yu-jin’s spine.
Gigi geek!
However, there was no way such a trick would work on Jeol Yu-jin, who was deploying the Unirat Radar.
Jeol Yu-jin protects herself by blocking Moon Ae-ri’s dagger and heading towards his back without even looking back.
And when his screams collided with Moon Ae-ri’s dagger, and the Aurors and externalization began to rebel again, he immediately threw a roundhouse kick at Moon Ae-ri.
Whick! Kang!!
Eugene’s roundhouse kick aimed at his temple as if he was not going to give him a chance to swing the other dagger.
In response, Moon Ae-ri, as if it had worked out well, raised the edge of the dagger that was not blocked by the scream and tried to cut off Eugene’s leg.
However, contrary to her expectations, Eugene’s kick, which is in an externalized state, does not cut at the moment it touches her dagger surrounded by an auror, but rather causes a repulsion between the tangible energies and bounces the dagger away.
“What?!”
Among martial artists who use auras, it was common knowledge that aurors could not be worn on bodies other than weapons.
Martial artists who use their fists or feet also wear auras because it is the gauntlet or combat boots they wear, not the body itself.
Even though it is said that martial artists who use their feet can put aura on their feet just by wearing shoes, that is limited to martial artists of that type.
However, seeing as he is wearing an auror (externalization to be exact) in his screaming voice, Jeol Yu-jin is clearly a swordsman.
But does such a prosecutor have tangible energy around his feet? She couldn’t help but be embarrassed because it couldn’t happen based on Moon Ae-ri’s common sense.
“Hmph!”
Bang!!
“Huh?!”
Of course, Eugene had no intention of missing her flustered look. He resumes his attack by immediately raising a scream and slashing with his spinning body along with a roundhouse kick.
Moon Ae-ri, who missed the timing to evade him, had no choice but to try to throw away the dagger that was swung at him.
As a result, a collision between the dagger and the screaming sound that she was trying to avoid occurred, and as if she had been waiting, Yu-jin Jeol pulled the trigger the moment her dagger touched, exploding the long tangible unirut and external fire wrapped around her sword body.
“Now, come to your senses and keep blocking! Or die?”
Moon Ae-ri feels the aura on the dagger being peeled off by the power of the explosion and the dagger that was trying to deflect the screaming sound is thrown away.
Nevertheless, she put away the dagger that blocked the roar she was swinging, and stuck to the trajectory she was swinging with the reverberations of the explosion surrounding her. She tilted her head back to draw a line from the scream, and Moon Ae-ri narrowly succeeded in dodging it.
Moon Ae-ri dodges and immediately screams, moving to block Eugene’s attack, and grits her teeth in response to Eugene’s provocation, which she has the time to spare.
“Who is killing whom… !”
Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak! Quang!
Once again, she crossed her two daggers to block the cries of Je Yu-jin’s slash, but immediately after, she was swept away by another explosion of energy and had no choice but to roll on the floor.
Crack! Tsuzuzu that is! Widely!
‘Ugh… ?! No matter how you look at it, isn’t that a gunblade or a cannonblade weapon?!’
Thanks to the aura surrounding her dagger, she was somehow able to cancel out the power of the explosion, but only just.
She avoided being swept from the front by the explosion, but it was difficult to avoid the aftermath, so she suffered little by little internal injuries every time she blocked Eugene’s screams from the front.
The impact of the explosion destroyed the aura surrounding her dagger, and she, too, had no choice but to roll around on the floor and quickly stand up, adjusting her posture, revealing a large gap.
Even though she was wielding the sword with one hand, protecting the Neff Key in her arms, she was helplessly pushed back by the gimmick of an explosion exploding from her sword body, something she remembered too late.
In her past life, there was a game character who used a weapon that exploded from the blade like that as her main weapon.
The problem was that the game character was able to use such weapons only because the stage on which the game character was active was modern times.
In short, in order to use such complex mechanical weapons, mechanical engineering must be developed to a modern level…
‘No, in what fantasy world does a guy using mechanical weapons like that come out?!’
… Looking at the level of civilization, Orbital World was a modern world, but it was a magical civilization, and no matter how you think about it, it was not a world where mechanical civilization had developed to the point where mechanical weapons like that appeared!
However, Moon Ae-ri can’t help but burst into anger at the existence of someone who pushes her, wielding a weapon that seems to come from a different genre.
‘Shit… ! You can’t fail your mission… !’
At that fact, Moon Ae-ri’s blood began to rush to her head, and she soon decided to spend some time appreciating her inner feelings and to attack Yu-jin more aggressively.
“Haaah!!”
Simultaneously with that determination, this time it was Moon Ae-ri charging at him from the front, and at the sight of that, Jeol Yu-jin leisurely raised a scream while inwardly clicking her tongue.
‘I wish they would slowly retreat, but I guess that would be impossible since they are still tied to a leash by a third force.’
At the same time as that thought, Jeol Yu-jin began to respond to the continuous attacks of Moon Ae-ri, who stood in front of him and swung indiscriminately through his strengthened physical ability.
Giggeek! Giggeek! Kajik!
Using only the snap of his wrist, he moves the monster wearing external boots as efficiently as possible, and blocks the daggers that are thrown at him appropriately, aiming at his vital points or at Nefty in his arms.
Depending on how you look at it, the dagger’s trajectory seemed to be swinging irregularly, but the Crescent assassination school used by Moon Ae-ri was literally a school.
Rules were contained within the irregularities, and Jeol Yu-jin’s battle logic was so deep that, given enough time, the rules could be read.
‘Good, I can see it slowly.’
In addition, the reaction school trained by Jeol Yu-jin is a school that allows you to react and respond immediately even if the opponent catches you off guard and attacks you after inducing you in some way.
In other words, it was said that it was a school that could easily defend against an opponent’s attack if one took a thorough defensive stance.
And as if to prove that fact, Jeol Yu-jin does not allow a single attack even in situations where he has not yet fully grasped the opponent’s battle logic. No, he rather…
“Sigh!”
Quang!
“This is really… !”
… As soon as there was even a slight gap in the trajectory of the two daggers that Moon Ae-ri was swinging, she counterattacked with a loud roar.
If you try to block it, an explosion will occur from the sword body, and even if you cancel out the explosion through aura, you will inevitably suffer internal injuries in the aftermath.
In response to that fact, Moon Ae-ri had no choice but to vent her frustration after momentarily striking Jeol Yu-jin’s screams from the front with a dagger held by a weightlifter.
He predicted that an explosion would occur the moment the dagger and the roar collided, and raised his aura even stronger to prevent the dagger from bouncing.
And through him, he was able to regain control of the attack and point a dagger at Jeol Yu-jin, or more precisely, at Nefty, whom he was protecting.
However, as if he was expecting it, he quickly took a few steps back, so I forced myself to fight back, risking internal injuries, but failed.
Meanwhile, Moon Ae-ri is fighting like hell inside! He said angrily and ran again toward Jeol Yu-jin, who had retreated.
“Sigh!”
Then, instead of attacking Jeol Yu-jin from the front, Moon Ae-ri feints, pretending to attack, then jumps forward and tumbles forward, jumping over Jeol Yu-jin’s head.
Kagagak!
At the same time, she jumped over him and swung her dagger at the top of his head at an unexpected timing, but he raised a scream and blocked her attack.
No, he doesn’t stop there, he blocks the attack with a roar and even shows off a trick where he separates the cylinder, ejects all the spent bullets, and then fires a new bullet in an instant!
“This… !”
Moon Ae-ri, who failed to attack the top of his head while he was conscious, landed on Jeol Yu-jin’s back and immediately swung his dagger, aiming for his Atiles gun.
Widely!
And even though she was holding Nefty in her arms, Yu-jin Jeol jumped lightly as if she had no weight at all and avoided her attack, then turned her body in the air and looked directly at her Moon Ae-ri again. .
“… Okay, let’s go to the end and see who wins.”
“I was thinking that it would be nice if you would step away.”
“Ha, whose will it is?!”
Jeol Yu-jin and Moon Ae-ri faced each other again and immediately resumed the battle, clashing their two daggers and making loud noises…
‘Okay, I’ve almost got it all figured out. Seeing that the attack is causing unnecessary tremors, it seems that patience is reaching its limit, isn’t it? Well then, let’s push it from here on out… !’
At the moment of restarting everything, Jeol Yu-jin internally feels that things are progressing the way she wants due to the ‘desire’ felt in the trajectory of the dagger Moon Ae-ri swings.
In response, Jeol Yu-jin began to push Moon Ae-ri using the gimmick of screaming in earnest.
Bang! Bang! Quagwang!
“This bastard… ?!”
