Chapter 119 – Before the Strongest in Year 1 ( 6 )
‘The 10th generation of Karmajindo. I am also one of the top 10 families. I put all that magic together and lost to the other person?’
Croa already knew that in Class D, there were no other people from the 10th generation other than the 100th family.
‘Anyway, what should I do now?’
“Mah… Majin is dead? He said he would definitely win…!”
Joo Jin-wook showed an attitude of not knowing what to do with Karma-jin’s elimination.
At first glance, Joo Jin-wook didn’t seem to have a strong personality because he had a small body and a delicate impression.
It was because of the ability of Joo Jin-wook to be a supporter in the special system.
This worldview is an unconventional worldview. His personality tended to be determined by his given ability.
Since Joo Jin-wook’s ability was to entrust his power to others rather than to step forward himself, he had no choice but to have a timid personality.
‘It seems difficult to leave it to Jin-wook..’
Croa looked at Joo Jin-wook and made a worried expression.
If he doesn’t step up, he’ll be helplessly defeated.
Even if you step forward and get good results, you will fail the Ma family test because you showed your presence.
‘What do we do..’
Croa, who was completely cornered, moved slowly and looked down at the road under the castle wall.
Koo—! Koo–!
A giant with a mass of muscles moving forward with an impact sound that could be heard from far away.
“…”
“I put my head out, should I shoot? Unni!”
A white-haired girl riding on the shoulders of the muscular giant and holding a crossbow the size of her own come into view.
Thump… Thump…
To that confident advance that was obviously coming to attack this way.
‘Yes. If it’s a test to fail anyway…’
“Jin-wook.”
“Uh.. Huh?”
“Share the magic you used on Karmajin. Can you still use it?”
“Can I still use it…? You’re asking if it’s connected with Margin?”
At Joo Jin-wook’s question, Croa nodded with a firm face.
“Because I can use it as long as I don’t die…”
Karmajin is not really dead, and Joo Jin-wook’s magical connection ability was connected to Croa and Karmajin before boarding the virtual reality device.
In other words, even at the point where Karmajin is eliminated, you can channel magic into one team member, including the power of Karmajin.
“Walk to me.”
“..Croa to you?!”
“If we stay like this, we’ll lose. In that case, wouldn’t it be better for me to do something?”
“That’s..”
At Croa’s words, Joo Jin-wook hesitated for a moment.
It was because of the question of whether it would be okay to leave it to Croa, along with the thought that Karmajin, who had a coercive attitude even in the class, would just let this task go.
‘Uh? But isn’t Croa the number one in our class?’
In fact, Croa ranked higher than Garmajin in terms of test results.
“Okay! Croa, I’ll drive it to you!”
Shuuu—..!!
In this way, Croa received the magical powers of Joo Jin-wook and Karma-jin.
=======
Coo…
“Shall we go in like this, sister?”
A boy’s voice sounded a little childish from the inside of the iron helmet.
“In case you don’t know. Don’t relax and go inside.”
Baek Seo-hee, riding on the shoulder, answers with a haughty face.
Cooong– cooong–
At the same time, Namsang, a giant, steps forward through the gates of Class C with a large iron ax in his hand.
“It’s okay.”
Since the entrance to the castle was smaller than Namsang’s size, he passed through it while slightly lowering his head.
Thud…
The exposed space was empty.
The internal model of the castle was all the same regardless of the team, so it was all the same, with the stairs going up, a large space for easy battles, and the knight’s armor standing for decoration.
“Sister! I think they all hid because they were scared? I think they are upstairs!”
“…”
Even at the words of Lee Hye-jin, who was chattering and acting cute next to her, Baek Seo-hee did not let go of her expression, and she slowly looked inside.
Floor and ceiling.
The stairs and the shadow behind them.
And even decorative armor.
Sreuk…
Unlike other people, Baek Seo-hee, who has a little special eyes, examines her armor with sad blue eyes.
‘Biological reaction.’
She found that the green aura that can be felt by living things was concentrated in one piece of armor.
“Hyejin. Protest.”
“Ah yes.”
Immediately upon Baek Seo-hee’s voice, Lee Hye-jin puts a bolt string on the crossbow and checks the armor that Baek Seo-hee’s gaze is facing.
“On the count of three…Shoot!”
Piing–!!
At Baek Seo-hee’s one word, ‘shoot’, Lee Hye-jin immediately bounced the crossbow trigger as she had trained.
Nettle liquid—!
Bolt arrows flew towards the knight’s armor, like a long string coming out of a crossbow.
“…”
The armor stood still in that posture until the arrow reached right in front of it.
Whack–! Teeing–!!
She prepares a combat stance for an instant and cuts off the flying arrows with the daggers she pulled out from somewhere.
“Profit..!”
Seeing this, Lee Hye-jin immediately tried to fire the bolt that was loaded into the crossbow.
Shuk–!
‘Did they disappear?!’
She couldn’t pull the trigger of her crossbow as the gray knight disappeared from sight as if she had never been there.
“Ahead!”
At that time, Baek Seo-hee’s refreshing voice burst out.
Shuuk–!
The knight’s armor, thought to have disappeared, appears right under the giant, Namsang.
“Huh–!!”
Koo—!!
Namsang immediately let out a scream and swung the ax handle he was holding down at the knight.
Wow..
‘Did I get rid of it?’
Baek Seo-hee came up with such a thought for an instant in the face of an attack that would inevitably result in instant death if hit.
‘No.. Yet.’
..But when the message to kill didn’t appear, I checked the smoke around the ax stuck in the floor.
Baek Seo-hee, who can detect the bio-energy of living things like her infrared camera and has also maximized her eyesight with her own ability, looked around her head and tried to find the missing person.
“No way..!”
And when he saw Lee Hye-jin riding on the opposite shoulder of her male statue with a feeling of just in case.
Seureung-..
“…”
Right behind Lee Hye-jin, who had a bewildered expression, I saw a knight thrusting the blade of a dagger.
“Blood..!”
Fu-wook-!!
“To..?”
Before she could warn her, the knight plunged her dagger into Lee Hye-jin’s nape and disappeared.
“Uugh… Ugh..!!”
It wasn’t real pain, but Lee Hye-jin opened her eyes and trembled all over at the pressure that made her lose her mind.
In danger of being eliminated and disappearing if it stays like this.
…Pluck.
Wooung ..- With a group of white lights floating in her hand, Baek Seo-hee’s gaze enters as she speaks with open eyes.
“Huh..!!”
Suwook-..!
Lee Hye-jin pulls out the dagger stuck in the back of her own neck with the spirit of her scream.
Wow..
“Haha..”
At the same time, the back of Lee Hye-jin’s neck, which was dug up by her white light, is completely restored.
‘Do you cure that?’
The knight, Croa, who was hiding behind her stairs and watching it, saw Lee Hye-jin being treated with her astonished face.
Lee Hye-jin’s mental strength to pull out the dagger stuck in her neck was amazing, but Baek Seo-hee’s healing ability to instantly heal it from a distance also made no sense.
‘I heard Baekga is famous for its healing power…’
For a moment, she was surprised by Baekga’s healing ability, which she saw with her own eyes.
“Here!”
Koo–! Koo–!
Following Baek Seo-hee’s instructions, who had already confirmed Croa’s location, Nam-sang was running toward the stairs with his huge body.
Booooong—!
Namsang swings the ax horizontally as if swinging it.
‘Acceleration.’
At that moment, Croa manifests her ability, ‘body speed acceleration’.
Quaaaaah
Dududuk…!
In Croa’s eyes, the ax hit the stairs and the flying stone fragments all looked slow like a slow motion video.
Taat-!
In the slow-flowing space, Croa moves at its original speed.
‘Acceleration. Acceleration. Acceleration.’
No, he can move even faster by adding his ability.
Originally, it would cause a delay (waiting time) or dizziness due to lack of mana even if it was stacked only once or twice, but now with the mana of the other two team members added, it was possible to activate up to 5 or more stacks without any problems.
Tap-! Shuuk—-!
When viewed from the outside, Croa moves at a speed close to teleportation, ducks down to avoid the slow ax handle wielded by Namsang, and moves to the back of Namsang, lowering her stance as if she is about to touch the ground…!
Squeak–! Squeak–!
‘Release.’
He slashed Nam-sang’s Achilles tendon on both heels with a dagger and released his ability.
“Huh– Big.. Billion?!”
Nam-sang screams at the pain he feels in his heel while swinging an ax with high spirits.
Staggering – As it is, the strength in the leg muscles is relaxed.
Koo–..!
“Kyaaak?!”
Together with Lee Hye-jin, who was riding on her shoulder, Nam-sang fell face down.
Chuck-.
In the midst of that, a white figure gently landed in front of Croa.
“Something unusual. The ability to accelerate the body’s speed?”
“..!?”
When Baek Seo-hee asked to see through her ability, Croa raised her dagger without saying anything.
“I also have the ability to control my physical abilities. You’ll feel it soon, right?”
“Feel…Lose?”
Croa, who had a puzzled expression inside the helmet at Baek Seo-hee’s words.
Blurry– shoot ah–
‘What..?’
“Is the light out?!”
For an instant, she felt a great sense of bewilderment at the vision that was dyed black.
With a bang-!
Break–!
“Huh?!”
A blow that hit the stomach hard before you even got used to the situation.
‘The armor is pierced…!’
The body and bones were shocked by something presumed to be a fist penetrating the abdominal parts of the iron armor.
‘..Acceleration.’
After quickly restoring the inside of the body that was actually damaged by accelerating the body’s recovery ability.
Dig-!
He immediately threw himself to the side and rolled on the ground.
Haha…”
Although she managed to get her breathing in order and stand upright.
Beep—-
‘Tinnitus…?’
With noise like ultrasonic waves penetrating the ears, the surrounding sounds became inaudible.
‘The ability to control the body… Did you mean this?’
Croa realized that her sight and hearing were paralyzed.
The cause is the ability of ‘Baek Seo-hee’ without having to think deeply.
‘The ability to paralyze the opponent’s senses when hit? Then what about the time? I didn’t even reach it…’
Croa couldn’t do anything about the current situation, even though she threw a question into the confusion in her head.
“Stay there~ Revenge for attacking me earlier! I’ll plug it right in!”
“Big..”
Lee Hye-jin and Nam-sang, who were attacked by Croa, surround Croa with a triangle including Baek Seo-hee.
“It’s a big deal.. I’m gone..”
No matter how fast you are, you cannot win in this narrow space without sight and hearing.
Except for ‘one thing’.
‘I hope Jin-wook avoids it.’
Currently, Joo Jin-wook is waiting in front of the cliff on the back wall of the castle.
“Whoa…”
Swoop-
Croa quickly circulated his mana as he breathed, and slowly raised one hand above his head.
‘The only magic I can use.’
He was born in a family of magic experts, but he couldn’t use most magic.
– Nyohuhu! As powerful as it is, the reaction will not be normal. I don’t know if I can write about your subject.
It is a magic taught to me by a strange man with purple hair whom I happened to meet in the garden when I was young.
Whiiing—..!!
‘Acceleration. Acceleration. Acceleration. Acceleration. Acceleration..!!!’
It accelerates and rotates the air around the hand, not the body.
Whoops—!!
At Croa’s fingertips, the whirlwind begins to form a cone-shaped tornado.
“Stop!”
Baek Seo-hee, noticing that Croa was not serious, shouted.
“Ahhh..!!”
“Everything… I can’t get closer! Sister!”
Neither Lee Hye-jin nor Nam-sang, who turned into a giant, couldn’t get close to him due to the wind revolving around Croa.
“No! Run away!”
In the end, Baek Seo-hee, who decided that she had to get out of the current place, shouted.
“Croa…”
Maga’s magic is named after the person who developed it.
Whoa—!
Pagagagak—!!
A cone of tornadoes so huge that it would destroy the entire ceiling of the castle.
“…—Award!!”
Whiik—
As you lower your hands, push them forward.
Quagga gagagak—!!!!!!
Kwaaang—!!!
The entire front of the castle is blown away by a cone-shaped tornado.
Wheein—!!
When the tornado that was emitted forward swallowed everything and dissipated.
Seruk.
“You can see the eyes..?”
Croa felt her eyesight and hearing return.
[Class C Croa ==〉 Class D Namsang K I LL !! ]
[Class C Croa ==〉 Class D Hyejin Lee K I LL !! ]
[Class C Croa ==〉 Class C Joo Jin-wook K I LL !! ]
“Ah… After all.”
Croa, who was looking at the message in front of her eyes with a face that said she did it, despaired when she saw the name of Joo Jin-wook floating at the end.
‘Because I blew up the entire castle…’
The building itself, called the castle, had disappeared without a trace, to the extent that the cliff behind it could be seen.
“If that’s the case, it’s a draw…”
Chuck.
“…?”
Croa turned around with a stiff face at the presence of a voice coming from behind.
“…”
There stood Baek Seo-hee, half of her face and half of her upper body melted into a group of white light.
“How are you… How are you… Alive?”
If it was real, not virtual reality, Croa asked with a white face as she saw Baek Seo-hee, who was alive with her half body blown off.
“…”
However, Baek Seo-hee did not answer him and held onto the part of her body that had disappeared, floating a healing light on the hand of her remaining arm.
Shu Woo-wook…
“Ha..”
Soon, as her damaged part returned, Baek Seo-hee let out a sigh of relief.
“If you’re desperate… This way is also available.”
With an expressionless face again, he leaves a word for Croa.
Tring-!
At the same time, the notification sound of the message sounds.
[Class D catches the king of Class C and wins! ]
[Class A and Class D will go up in the final to decide who is the strongest!!! ]
Baek Seo-hee’s class won.
