Chapter 136 – End of Summer Vacation (7)
***
After gaining mental stability skills, I was able to properly watch people fight.
It wasn’t a level where I could calmly look at a situation where blood was splattering, and my body was being cut, but at least it stabilized my mind enough to check my priorities on what to do.
Vulcan Ludric, who jumped into the group of monsters first, was engaged in hand-to-hand combat without being pushed back by the troll wielding a huge bat.
I thought that just watching him fight would exhaust a lot of his stamina, but there wasn’t even a single minor wound on his body visible through the torn clothes.
Then, the next one was Miyama Asui, who showed the power to cut down all the monsters by herself until she reached the boss room, but her sword energy was destroyed, and she changed her fighting style.
He wrapped the flying sword energy around his sword and began to dance and cut down the approaching orcs using the sword he held with both hands.
Miyama Asui did not specialize in using sword energy to deal with large numbers of enemies, but on the way to the end of the sword technique, sword energy was flying, and the sword dance was so splendid that it felt like it was used because it was effective in dealing with many enemies.
Fighting while avoiding all attacks reminded me of Xian, but now Xian was fighting the orcs differently than usual.
Xian, who made a black shield in his left hand, looked a bit like Naen, but the direction of the sword seemed a little different.
It seems like he’s using a black shield to block the enemy’s attacks, but the attack that follows is a way to kill the orc by stabbing him in the vital spot, so there’s a clear difference from Miyama Asui’s fancy sword dance.
The Shadow Lance that was shown to me was not used, so its instantaneous power was low, but it seemed like he was fighting without wasting the most power among the three.
As Xian cut down all the orcs that came toward her, the trolls who had been waiting for her men to fall began to move.
I also thought that I wanted to be more helpful to Sian.
I can no longer be satisfied with just watching from behind like this.
‘I didn’t know that the reason I finished what I needed to learn in the second semester during vacation would come later.’
What I need to take away from this Global Academy is…
***
I killed the last orc that was on my side and took a quick breather.
Vulcan was still engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the leader troll, and Asui Miyama also seemed likely to kill all the orcs soon.
When dealing with trolls, fire is advantageous as it can weaken their regenerative power, which is their biggest advantage.
Or, it could inflict so much damage at once that it can’t regenerate.
Anyway, there are only two options: Shadow Circle and Yeomryun.
“Tu-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra!”
A troll holding a large bat swung quickly at me.
Even if you use a shield, it would be difficult to block that power.
I fell back while using my insight to read the heavy trajectory of the bat.
Buuuuung!
Because it fell quite far, the bat swung by the troll cut through the air, but the problem came after that.
‘For some reason, it seemed like my calmness continued to kick in.’
If an average person used it, it would hurt their joints, but the troll didn’t care and swung the bat again.
The sound of bones and muscles screaming from the excessive movement was heard, but the troll ignored the pain and swung the bat without hesitation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Shadow Circle and Flame Wheel require time to be thrown, so it’s a bit difficult to respond to such continuous attacks, isn’t it?
‘Then let’s go back to basics.’
I returned the shield and sword made with Shadow Craft to shadows and used Youngtu to cover my entire body with shadows.
Now that even the outline is blurred, loopholes begin to appear in the troll’s attacks.
And when I saw the biggest gap I had seen while avoiding attacks so far, I ran forward without missing that gap.
Use Shadow Craft to make gauntlets on both arms.
Yeomryun Kwon (炎輪拳) Ilryun (一輪).
Howling!
The Ring of Fire, which felt somewhat incomplete when used until now, has perfection.
And when my fist passed through the ring, it helped me overcome the limit of mana that my arm could hold in an instant through the Flame Magic.
Kwaaaaang!
When faced with a regime filled with the power of heat, the trolls were largely pushed out.
There was a distorted wound on the chest where my fist hit, as if it had been burned, and the wound showed no signs of healing.
‘The firepower is not enough for the single wheel.’
If so, just add more firepower.
He patted his chest and jumped back at the troll, who was very angry and screaming.
“Tra la la la rock!!!”
Yeomryun Kwon (炎輪拳) Two wheels (two wheels).
Two rings of fire appeared in front of the left hand.
The troll used a huge bat as a shield as it punched with even more heat than before.
Kwazijijik!
It’s not like swinging a fist with your bare hands like Han Xian.
Since I was wearing gauntlets made of Shadow Craft, which can be called a sword or sword, there was almost no shock to me.
And for Yeonyeom Shingong, this situation wasn’t too bad.
By absorbing the heat spreading around me, I was able to generate even greater strength.
Yeomryun Fwon (炎輪拳) Three Wheels (三輪).
Three rings of fire appeared in front of the right fist.
“This is going to be hard to endure.”
The troll, having lost a weapon that could block attacks, chose to cross its thick arms.
As he was a big guy, his crossed arms he felt like a huge green shield, but I was confident that I could destroy it.
I absorbed the heat with all my might and threw out a stronger fist.
Kwaaaaang!
The loud sound of my hand colliding with the troll’s arm was enough to drown out the sound of bones breaking.
The troll was flying far away with both arms burning. I couldn’t kill it, but it made me incapable of fighting.
While running to finish, I jumped big.
I made three flame rings according to the angle of the fall and drove my fist into the troll’s heart.
Whoa, whoa!
The troll’s vitality clung tenaciously to recover from the bursting heart, but its regenerative power soon lost its power in the spreading heat.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Vulcan was still fighting the troll leader.
That guy said he would fight with all his might, but isn’t he limiting his power his?
And when I looked to the side, I saw Asui Miyama fighting with two trolls, and there were several troll body parts lying around.
‘I understand that you are not at a level where you can recover body parts quickly?’
I know that it has a level of regenerative power that makes it impervious to accumulating small attacks to induce bleeding or damage to body parts, but I thought there was something different about that.
“Miyama, can I help you with one thing?”
“Please do me a favor. These guys’ regenerative abilities are a little strange!”
Yes, it seems.
Just now, Miyama Asui cut the troll’s body in half with a sharp sword, but it immediately recovered and began to attack.
If Seoyeon hadn’t acquired the mental stability skill, she might have fainted when she saw that strange sight.
‘Then. Let’s use the maximum strength we can now.’
Skill Link-Boost
Shadow Mastery. Flame wheel.
Shadow Circle.
A ring made of shadows appeared in front of my eyes.
I used the skill again by creating a shadow craft to throw the spear towards the ring.
Flame wheel.
Rings of fire and rings of shadow were placed alternately, and I saw the troll beyond the rings and threw the spear as hard as I could.
The ring of shadow added acceleration and penetration to the spear made of shadow.
The ring of fire added heat and destructive power to the window made of shadow.
After a short period of time as the six rings gave strength to the Spear of Shadow, the Spear of Shadow, filled with heat, disappeared from my sight.
Kwaaaaa!!!
As I moved my gaze along the trace of heat left by the heat-filled shadow spear extending out, I saw that one troll’s upper body had almost disappeared.
The troll, which had a hole in it, collapsed as if the abnormal regenerative power had been properly blocked by the intense heat.
“Yusian. That’s your strength. I confirmed it.”
Asui Miyama spoke quietly and adjusted his posture holding his sword.
And while easily dodging the troll’s attack, I stabbed him in the chest.
Self-made!!!
Numerous sword energy spewed out from the area where the sword penetrated the troll, completely tearing the troll to pieces.
Then, after shaking off the sword, he put it neatly in its scabbard and came towards me.
“You’re definitely not the weakest in the academy anymore, right? If you’re the weakest, then our academy is at a ridiculously high level.”
“Miyama, were you conserving your strength?”
“No. There is a recoil when using this technique. It releases about a hundred times the sword energy at once, so once you use it, you cannot use the sword energy again.”
If you can use that level of attack in succession, that’s the problem.
Still, I think the time when you can’t use sword skills at all will be short.
That’s the power of the status window ability, and we are the quest ability that can surpass it.
“Vulcan! Aren’t you going to finish it? The ice cream is melting!”
Kwaaaaang!
“I ate all of mine?”
At that moment, the troll leader began to lose power.
Vulcan Ludric unleashed an attack that exceeded the regenerative power of the troll leader, who was using his regenerative power to withstand all attacks.
Sigh! Bye bye!
The sound of bones being ground to dust, rather than breaking, echoed from the troll leader’s body in a way that gave him a little goosebump.
The troll leader, who had been repeatedly punched by Vulcan Ludric, fell to the floor and could not get up, probably because he had lost his ridiculous regenerative ability.
“Asui, did you clear the quest?”
“Okay. You can finish it.”
“Okay. I’ll finish it.”
Vulcan Ludric clenched his fists and raised them slightly higher.
And a huge amount of mana was concentrated in the fist, forming a very large gray sphere.
Geogeogeogeokeuk!!!
A huge gray fist hit the troll leader who was lying on the floor, and the rotational force in the fist crushed the troll to the floor.
When Vulcan Ludric straightened his back, the tension on his arms disappeared.
“Finished. The ice cream didn’t melt, right?”
“Well, it might have melted because it’s a little hot here. If you eat here, it will melt quickly, so let’s go out and eat in the dungeon.”
I looked at my friends from class Q heading towards the exit and called Seoyeon behind them.
“Seo-yeon.”
“Yes. I’ll go.”
At the entrance to the boss room, Seoyeon ran to avoid the corpses of orcs and trolls.
And Seoyeon stood next to me and said.
“I think I understand why class Q is an exception when considering the strength of academy students.”
“That’s right. I didn’t know those two would be like that.”
“Sian, does that include you too?”
“Really? Well. I guess it’s because I look at those two that I feel my shortcomings.”
Mountain beyond the mountain? Still, I felt like I had grown enough for those two people to show me their strong skills.
It would be difficult to catch up right away, but I left the dungeon with Seoyeon, thinking that I could catch up if I had time.
