Chapter 1177 – 1177. Hero Military Academy (7)
When you invaded a dream using the Invasion Skill, there were a few people who noticed it.
A representative example is Stella.
Stella, who has ruled the elves for a long time, has excellent cognitive abilities to the point where she can distinguish between dreams and reality.
And through that cognitive ability, she immediately realized that I was in a trance.
In addition, there was Beatrice, who gave me my first experience with a dream, and Viola, who kneaded me into bread after I had cast a dream.
‘… Now that I think about it, I guess Viola was a bitch?’
Viola didn’t realize it was a dream, but she (physically) kneaded the dream caster.
In a way, I thought he was the strongest being I’ve ever met.
‘Ah, it’s not a situation to think about anything else.’
I shook off the random thoughts that suddenly came to mind and refocused on the being in front of me.
There have been several cases like this so far where the owner of the dream has noticed.
But…
“I will ask you again. Who are you?”
“…”
It was the first time that a character other than the owner of the dream recognized me.
That’s the one I’m most wary of.
‘Is it real? Or is it a character in a dream, and did you recognize it by chance?’
If it is the latter, there is no problem.
However, if the Cho Kang-hyeon in front of you right now is you or someone connected to him… ?
‘If I get caught, it won’t end up being a hassle…’
It’s a pain in the ass.
However, I did not panic despite the sudden change and calmly maintained my hiding place.
The reason I remained calm in this situation was simple.
“… This is the last question. “Tell me who it is.”
Cho Kang-hyeon only recognized the ‘hidden being’ and did not seem to have figured out my identity.
‘I don’t know who I am.’
If I had known, I wouldn’t have asked that way.
At Cho Kang-hyeon’s bloody voice, Cho Seo-hyeon next to him looked around with a surprised expression.
“Who are you? Who is there? “You can’t see it with my eyes?”
“…”
Cho Kang-hyeon’s fierce eyes calmed down slightly when he heard Cho Seo-hyun’s voice.
But that was all.
Cho Kang-hyeon glared at me, ignoring Cho Seo-hyeon’s words…
“Three times, it’s over.”
“!?”
Quaaaaa! The Quagga Gaga River!
At the same time as those words were said, an abandoned building that Cho Seo-hyeon and Cho Kang-hyeon had passed by a little while ago began to collapse.
A loud noise that burst my eardrums penetrated my skin and stimulated all the nerves in my body.
And I wasn’t the only one who received such stimulation.
“Oh, the building!!”
Cho Seo-hyeon, who was next to Cho Kang-hyeon, was also shocked.
However, despite this shocking situation, Cho Seo-hyun…
“I don’t know what’s going on, but we have to get out of here!”
He grabbed Cho Kang-hyeon’s arm and started running somewhere.
However, Cho Seo-hyeon’s courageous actions were soon stopped.
“Ugh!?”
It wasn’t the monster or me that stopped her…
“Sister, I’m taking a break.”
It was super strong.
“Mousse…”
At one word from Cho Kang-hyeon, Cho Seo-hyun fell to the floor like a puppet whose strings had been cut.
At that moment, I flinched at the sight of her collapsed body and tried to rush over to help her, but…
“I guess it’s not a time to worry about other people right now, is it?”
“!?”
Kagagaga River!
The remains of the building that had collapsed a little while ago piled together and turned into a sharp awl shape.
Hundreds of awls as big as my forearms pointed their pointed blades at me.
And the sharp awls that showered me with light…
“If you remain quiet, I will just destroy your body and confirm your identity. What… “I don’t think a guy who ignored my answer three times could stay calm.”
It started raining down on me like meteorites.
Shoot!
As I looked at the raindrops, I could tell that Cho Kang-hyeon had lied to me.
‘Just destroy the limbs? Rather than grinding it in a grinder?’
If I catch those awl meteorites, my body will be torn apart beyond the point of being torn into pieces.
‘Okay, I’ll play with you!’
I began to run away from the countless raining awls.
The awls that flew in from the front rained down like bombs on the place where I was standing…
Kwagwagwagwagwang!! Kwaaaaang! Kwakwang!
The awls that followed behind changed direction like guided missiles and started flying towards me.
Shoot!
I had recently improved my physical abilities and was confident in my speed, but…
‘You can never escape!’
It was far short of the speed of the guided missile sent by Cho Kang-hyeon.
I quickly created a bow and arrow through dream manipulation, and fired the arrow at the flying awl.
My goal was not to destroy the judo awl.
Shoot! Quaaaaa! Quack! Kwaaaaang!
The direction of the awls pouring in as a group was slightly changed so that they collided with each other.
The judo awl that was flying in front stumbled after being hit by the arrow I shot, and collided with the awls that were flying behind and began to crush each other.
I sighed and expressed my regret.
‘It would have been easier if I had used superconductor arrows.’
If that were the case, there would be no need to run away like this.
Creating a superconductor arrow in a dream wasn’t that difficult.
Nevertheless, the reason I didn’t make it was simple.
‘If he is connected to Cho Kang-hyeon outside or is the same person…’
The possibility of my identity being discovered will increase dramatically.
To prevent such a situation, superconductor arrows were not used.
‘But I won’t be left helpless like before.’
I wanted to take a breather like that, but…
“… “He’s a boring guy.”
With a single word from Cho Kang-hyeon, the shattered awls came together again and started flying towards me.
Actually, it wasn’t a big problem that only the awl flew in.
The real problem is…
“!?”
The bow and arrows I made a while ago have rotted to the point where they crumble even in the breeze.
I quickly threw away the bow and arrows I was holding and made a new bow and arrows…
“As I said before, I wish you would stop doing boring things.”
“!?”
Kwasik.
Before the arrow could be fired, the bow and arrow rotted and fell apart.
I brushed off the rotten wood chips from my hands and put all my effort into running again.
‘I didn’t think it would be easy, but this is a bit tough!’
In fact, there was an easy way to resolve this situation without having to fight with Cho Kang-hyeon.
Canceling the sleep.
If it comes from Cho Seo-hyeon’s dream, there is no need to start such a difficult fight.
Nevertheless, I…
‘If not now, when will you fight?’
In order to check Cho Kang-hyeon’s skills, I did not disable Chim-mong.
One day, the day will come when I fight with Cho Kang-hyeon.
I decided that I had to fight now to prepare for that time.
Of course, the being fighting me now may not be the body of Super Strong.
But…
‘But the abilities seem to be similar.’
It doesn’t matter if it’s a powder instead of the main body, or a fake rather than a powder.
In any case, there is no change in the fact that he is a copy of Super Kanghyun’s abilities.
I think so…
‘Try to block this too!’
I fired a barrage of wind magic at the awls pouring at me.
Although it is a wind magic with weak attack power, let’s attack with the awl like a hack…
Kwaaaaang! Kwakwakwak! Kwakwakwakwak!!
It started to shake with a small stumble, but then quickly changed direction and stumbled so much that they collided with each other or fell to the floor.
Let me use magic like that and avoid another crisis…
“Ha… “You choose to do things that aren’t fun.”
He glared at me and started casting something.
But…
“Huh?”
“… ?”
Unlike when the bow and arrow rotted earlier, nothing special happened.
Cho Kang-hyeon’s face, which had been stained with irritation, simply changed into embarrassment.
Cho Kang-hyeon, who was embarrassed, did not stop and continued to cast something at me.
But despite his attempts, my escape went smoothly.
“Radish… What…”
“…”
I, who had been puzzled by Cho Kang-hyeon’s embarrassed appearance earlier, was finally able to realize what he had done.
‘You were trying to do something to my mana.’
Super Ganghyeon was attempting to manipulate my mana, as if he had broken my bow and arrow.
But unfortunately, his repeated attempts…
“Why… “It’s not working, right?”
He failed again and again, only putting embarrassment on his face.
I was able to infer some of his abilities through his actions and reactions.
‘Is it possible to manipulate not only objects but also mana?’
It looked slightly different from the deconstruction technique.
If disintegration is the ability to completely collapse mana itself, then the ability of super strength is…
‘It felt like they were trying to hack it.’
It felt like they were trying to manipulate the nature of my mana.
At first, I thought his ability might have worked thanks to the use of magic circles…
‘No… ‘It’s even breaking through the magic circle!’
His ability seemed to be able to penetrate the magic circle and affect the mana itself.
However, Super Strong’s ability only pierced my use of the magic circle and had no effect on my mana.
‘Is this the limit of salt?’
In order to obtain more certain information, I used mana to manipulate the dream and create a person.
The character I created…
“I’m dying!”
It was Oh Hyeon-min who had lost his new look to me.
As soon as I created Oh Hyeon-min, I immediately had Cho Kang-hyeon use ice magic.
Cho Kang-hyeon, who was confused just a moment ago…
“… It’s annoying.”
I made an emotionless expression again and used the ability I had used on Oh Hyeon-min.
Oh Hyun-min, who received Jjang Kang-hyeon’s abilities like that…
Kwajijijijik!
“Wow…”
He was hit back by the freezing magic he had used, and his entire body was torn apart like a piece of meat.
“Whoa… As expected, it works well.”
Cho Kang-hyeon smiled with satisfaction as he looked at Oh Hyun-min’s torn body.
This made it clear.
‘It is also the ability to manipulate mana.’
Cho Kang-hyeon had the ability to control not only inanimate objects but also the opponent’s mana.
Satisfied with Oh Hyun-min’s miserable appearance, Cho Kang-hyeon used his abilities on me again.
But his abilities…
“… “What on earth are you doing?”
It only penetrated through the magic circle, but had no effect on my mana.
Why did Cho Kang-hyeon’s ability only affect Oh Hyun-min’s mana, but not my mana?
It wasn’t until I saw Cho Kang-hyeon’s irritated face that I realized the reason.
‘Spiritual power!’
Spiritual power obtained by combining magic power through alchemy not long ago.
Super Strong’s ability can manipulate mana based on magical power, but it cannot manipulate spiritual power, which is a higher compatibility with mana.
When I found out that fact, I breathed a sigh of relief as I saw Oh Hyun-min turned into a piece of meat in the distance.
‘Wow… If it weren’t for my spiritual power, I’d be like that too, right?’
Of course, considering my reflexes, I wouldn’t have turned out to be as miserable as Oh Hyeon-min.
However, even if it was not a piece of meat, it would have suffered considerable damage.
I was relieved to have escaped being a piece of meat and observed Cho Kang-hyeon’s appearance.
Cho Kang-hyeon must have decided that it was impossible to manipulate my mana, so he started attacking me again in the same way as before.
Super Ganghyeon attacks me with a much larger amount than before.
In this way, I was able to avoid Cho Kang-hyeon’s attacks and roughly understand his abilities.
‘Inanimate objects and mana… And…’
Cho Kang-hyeon even used Oh Hyun-min to attack me.
What do you mean by using Oh Hyun-min?
As soon as…
“Keeeeek!”
‘… Mine?’
After turning Oh Hyeon-min into a demon, I made him attack me.
Oh Hyeon-min, who became a demon, began pouring out the freezing magic that he had attacked Cho Kang-hyeon earlier at me.
I was worried while avoiding the attacks of the two people.
‘I want to find out more about my abilities, but…’
While thinking about that, I checked the appearance of Cho Seo-hyun lying next to Cho Kang-hyeon.
Cho Seo-hyeon, who had the courage to try to save Cho Kang-hyeon just a moment ago.
She is currently…
‘… Let’s finish it.’
He was lying under a pile of dust and the remains of a building.
I didn’t want to see Cho Seohyun like that anymore.
I wanted to quickly get it out of that pile of dust.
Of course, you can forcibly end this situation by canceling the immersion dream, but…
‘… I will fight this guy one last time and take him out right away, so just wait.’
So I decide…
‘Whether you’re real or fake, let’s see how far you can block my attacks.’
He started running towards Zhonggang County.
