Chapter 359 – Annoying Opponent
The criteria for strength vary.
The most widely accepted standard is strength, or physical strength. The importance of power has never faded since life existed on this earth.
It will certainly remain the same even as time passes.
The easiest way to exclude competitors fighting over limited resources is to drive them out through physical threats.
However, after civilization emerged in this world, other types of strength gradually began to show their importance.
Wisdom that creates variables and brings more efficient victory.
Perseverance to overcome adversity and seek another opportunity.
In addition, there are numerous factors that can help you win the competition in ways that are different from strength.
This is because, as long as the goal is not the survival of individual units but the survival of the entire group sharing the same civilization, it is impossible to win the competition with mere physical force alone.
It is no exaggeration to say that no one dares compare in terms of physical strength, not even Wolfgang.
Through countless losses and sacrifices, he knew better than anyone else that he could never win against his enemies with mere strength.
That’s probably why the twins, who had already reached a level of physical strength, were unable to overcome the panic that came from an unexpected situation and made a mistake.
Wolfgang was also inexperienced, so he fully understood.
Of course, I will have to scold him harshly later.
—Dudeuddeud… !
Is this really the nature of Death Worm, the most vicious monster in the southern part of the Empire?
Although he had never been to the South himself, Wolfgang thought that the vibrations he was feeling could never be surpassed by something like a giant earthworm.
Something very big and powerful.
It is digging into the ground and rising from the ground toward the ground.
Wolfgang ordered towards his twin.
“Come. Get ready right away. “It’s real from now on.”
“Yes!”
“Four!”
Then the twins immediately adjusted their posture as if they had never been embarrassed.
Just now, I was almost injured by a falling object when I was defenseless, but high-level superhumans can easily survive a landslide as long as they are properly prepared.
“W-what did I just…” “
Rumi is also blushing and moaning from the shame that only came to her belatedly.
If you focus on survival by hitting small falling objects and avoiding large falling objects, you will not have to risk your life from things like a building collapsing.
“Rumi, calm down. “Anyone can make mistakes.”
“Okay… This will never happen again.”
Unlike usual, Remi calmly calms down her younger sister like an older sister.
Although they were twins whose positions seemed to have been reversed, it was Remy who showed his true worth more in a real crisis.
“Well, I guess you don’t have to worry.”
It was a moment before the two girls burst into laughter at the unexpected sight they showed.
—Ugh… !
As the vibrations felt closer and closer, Wolfgang closed his eyes and began to activate his core.
Just looking at the momentum felt from afar, he was not an opponent to be taken lightly.
There is no reason to control your strength in this situation.
“Come.”
—Quaak!
Wolfgang carried Demon Bane on his back. What we need now is a fist, not a sword.
And then it was as if he had become the center of the world.
Put a lot of strength into both legs and exert control over the mana in the air to take control. At this moment, there is no place that Wolfgang’s power cannot reach.
The only human who exists between heaven and earth.
—Cooooo… !
He holds the energy of heaven and earth in his hands and wields them to his heart’s content.
[Arien Ryu Type 8]
[One Fist, Flat World (一拳平天下)]
Red eye lights flash and pitch-black mana gushes out with tremendous force.
That moment.
—Fuhuaaaaa!
“Booooo!”
“Haaa!”
A fist swung by a huge demon that rose up through the ground.
Wolfgang’s fists, filled with unprecedented power, were aimed at each other.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is the strongest blow since it is not accompanied by an unstable mental image and is struck using only Wolfgang’s mana and martial arts.
Even if it were Mount Tai, it was so powerful that it would not be able to withstand and would collapse.
A fleeting moment that the average person may not even notice.
—Spot!
A very small flash of light appeared between my two fists.
In an instant, the flash grew greedily, reaching limitless size.
—Kwagwaaaaang!
A huge explosion that is hard to believe was caused by two fists clashing together.
Even if you ignite thousands of tons of gunpowder, it probably wouldn’t produce this much power.
—Passsss… !
The aftermath of the impact swept through the collapsing headquarters building, turning it into powder.
“Aaaaah!”
“Ugh… !”
The twins behind Wolfgang sensed the unusual force and quickly combined their strength to deploy a holy power shield, barely managing to avoid being swept away by the explosion.
“This kind of crazy power… !”
“The teacher said… “
—Blah blah blah!
In return for sacrificing movement, the paladin’s holy power shield, which specializes in defense and almost completely cancels out the impact of a simple physical attack, splits like a cookie.
But I can’t just sit still like this.
‘Remy’
‘Yes, Rumi.’
The twins quickly turned their eyes towards the monster that rose from the ground and towards Wolfgang, trying to find out what they could do.
Let’s take a look at the two who exchanged their first blows through extremely sensitive sense of humor instead of limited vision due to the dust.
“Keuuuuu… !”
“This guy is pretty strong.”
Surprisingly, the result was white and medieval.
Neither side appears to have suffered much damage.
Wolfgang was waving his hands as if his fists were a little sore.
The underground monster curls up its body like a ball and is very wary of its opponent.
For a moment, I was astonished at how seemingly nothing had happened after exchanging blows that could destroy a mountain.
After confirming the identity of the monster, Rumi muttered inadvertently.
“Demons… ?”
Two arms and two legs. The monster with twenty hands and toes and one head clearly had a very similar appearance to a human.
Even at a glance, it appears to be a giant who is well over 5 meters tall.
Except for the two horns on the head, which are reminiscent of ox horns.
Remy also opened her mouth wide and took a deep breath.
“Nonsense. That giant is the same species as that bitch? He was human-sized! “Is his father an Oger?”
“Is now the time for jokes?”
Meanwhile, Wolfgang glared at the enemy in front of him.
His instinct as a warrior automatically began to analyze the opponent.
‘What on earth is this guy? It definitely tasted a bit strange.’
I never thought I would be able to crush all my enemies with one blow.
He was clearly a strong man, but there are also stronger beings in the world.
Even now, even though he is stronger than he was during the war, he cannot think of any way to fight against Khagan, and he will still feel threatened for his life when he stands in front of His Majesty the Emperor.
Of course, if you fight against your teacher, Arien, you will still be defeated.
Also, if you were to scour the continent, you might find one or two more transcendents or sleeping dragons who have turned their backs on the world and gone into seclusion.
Those beings will never be able to win either.
Of course, if you turn it around.
As long as the enemy was not a transcendental person, Wolfgang was confident that he would not lose no matter who he fought. This is probably the case, as it is impossible for a strong person who has reached such a high level to fail in self-objectification.
“Keuuuuu… “
“You don’t know how to say anything other than keuhuh.”
However, there was something ‘strange’ about that guy in front of me.
Even if he didn’t use his imagination, the strike just now was an attack that Wolfgang put a lot of effort into preparing.
It feels like a somewhat understated explanation to demolish a mountain with one punch.
If it were simple destructive power, it would be a blow close to the power he could produce.
You face such an attack and just endure it like nothing happens.
‘He’s definitely not a transcendental person.’
There is absolutely no possibility that he is a transcendent. Because he didn’t feel any of the pressure that is characteristic of a transcendental person.
In terms of the force felt, she is stronger than Astrid. At that level, it is normal for things to be resolved along the lines of the 1st Prince without even having to go to Wolfgang.
Exchanging equal blows against an enemy of that level?
It was clearly something that didn’t make sense.
If so, there is only one possibility that can be thought of.
Wolfgang frowned and muttered.
“You have some annoying powers.”
The demon in front of me also has special powers, just like Ramiel.
Given the circumstances, it must be related to force or shock.
Even Ramiel, whose strength itself is not that great, can’t let down his guard when dealing with him because he can move through space for short distances at will.
To sum up, the demon in front of me was a powerful enemy that could never be ignored.
“Well, you’ll figure it out if you stick with it.”
Wolfgang was thinking that as he raised his sword.
Right at that moment.
“Are you the enemy…?”
The demon in front of me opened its mouth in a very slow voice.
