Chapter 446 – 446. Trials Given (2)
The beginning had no hints.
Tens of thousands of monsters are the words of pitiful humans whose bodies have been mutated due to exposure to polluted mana.
They are the people of an empire that was completely corrupted by the emperor of the Mirvabilla Empire 20 years ago.
Once the human body is mutated due to contamination, the contaminated mana is not enough to eat away at the human body, but also gnaws away at the brain inside the head.
That’s why it’s impossible to save people who have progressed to contamination.
Rather, cutting off the breath of the beast that has turned into a cruel form is no different from salvation as a human being.
Those hideous beasts drool and screamed at Eunhyun.
Kyaaaaaek!
The screams coming from the cracked vocal cords are no longer human voices.
All at once, the magic beasts started to run towards Eunhyeon.
“… Pestilence.”
Eunhyun had to spit out disgust without even realizing it.
– Try to cross the threshold that you couldn’t cross, this time. That is the first trial given to you.
It was so sudden, but Jupiter’s voice that resonated in his soul was very brief.
In this situation where his own past was replayed, Eun-hyeon was able to immediately realize her role.
“… Great. I mean let’s do it. Now?”
He himself died at this time.
This experience of facing death once was also a barrier that he could not overcome.
Jupiter’s intention was no different than to go beyond this and prove to himself that he was different from then.
He saw through the provocative intention to go beyond this level in order to pass the ordeal given by him and acquire the status of a proper ‘half god’ even though he is a human being.
Kyaaaek!
After grasping the situation and understanding the conditions for passing the ordeal, Eunhyeon took action without hesitation.
[God’s key to reproduce history]
[Summon, Bartaltak and Moraltak]
So he tried to summon a legendary weapon that existed in the past using his own key.
The silver sacred aura that was in the shape of a sword held in both hands disappeared as if it melted into the air while the divine power was condensed.
“… What?”
Kieeck!
“Kuh!?”
It was only for a while that Eunhyeon was taken aback with a dazed expression at the sudden variable.
Eunhyeon had to wake up in a hurry to the wild screams of the monsters hitting her ears.
After punching the jaws of the beasts that were sticking their teeth towards her, Eunhyeon jumped backwards to distance himself from the beasts.
Ignoring the distance he opened up by making a big jump, the monsters started chasing after him.
[Eunhyeon’s Unique Ability]
[Accident acceleration]
The time Eunhyeon was able to earn was only a few seconds, but it was enough time to sort out the confusion in his heart and the questions that popped into his head.
“…”
After finishing her thoughts, Eun-hyeon immediately opened and closed her hands repeatedly.
Eventually, as before, he summoned a sword using his power.
When the longsword he had been using was summoned without any problems, Eunhyeon frowned.
“Shit.”
However, he was convinced as he stared at the regular longsword summoned using the power of Urd, not his own key.
His own power is limited.
But in a way, it is natural.
This is his ordeal of having to overcome the wall he couldn’t cross at the time.
If there is one added condition, it is that he must jump on the same condition as then.
After death, one’s recently created key cannot be used, at least during this first ordeal.
Eun-hyeon realized that he was looking at this ordeal too easily.
The ordeal to acquire perfect godhood couldn’t be that simple.
He redefine the conditions for passing this ordeal again and again.
‘To survive against these tens of thousands of demon beasts without using authority.’
That is the clearing condition of this first trial.
‘Can I do it?’
Eun-hyeon hesitated for a moment in the stream of consciousness, which had accelerated several dozen times faster due to the acceleration of thought, and fell into trouble, but the worry did not last long.
‘I have to.’
Rather than worrying about whether you can do it, it is what you have to do.
The kind of thing you have to try, succeed, and show results.
Kyaaaek!
Squeak
He inserted his sword into the head of the demon beast that ran right in front of him, and slashed the beast head and body in two with force in his arms.
At the same time, demonic beasts rushed from all sides to bite Eunhyeon’s body open and tried to bite Eunhyeon’s body.
Kyririk!
The monsters bit the air and clashed their teeth.
[Juhyeonseong Polar Plain]
[Lee Hyung-hwan-wi]
Before they even realized that what they had bitten off was just an afterimage left in the air.
[Siete Swordsmanship]
[Wind of Thousand Flowers]
Eun-hyeon, who was above the sky, descends and slams her sword on the floor.
Kwaaang!
The violently shaking imperial palace floor split, and a gust of wind revolving around the sword and silver string stuck in the floor swept away the monsters and roughly tore them apart.
Far from recognizing Eun-hyeon’s attack, the magic beasts, who could not even read his movements properly, chased only afterimages of him and flew through the air without a chance to feel pain.
Eunhyeon didn’t even have time to look at the beasts whose corpses were torn to pieces before they even had time to scream.
With the current attack, dozens of monsters were torn apart in an instant, but the number of monsters he had to deal with was close to tens of thousands.
“Did you fill 0.01% with this?”
Even after doing the math myself, I laughed out loud.
Strangely, however, his body did not hesitate at all.
Even though the experience of that time that drove him to death is replayed, he does not feel fear or fear.
At that time, Eun-hyeon did not feel fear or fear even while standing there with her limbs bitten off and her flesh eaten by demon beasts, even while her life was being cut.
What Eun-hyeon felt at that time was a sense of accomplishment that she had completed her mission and a sense of relief that she had reached the end of her long journey.
Although he is very sorry that he felt it in death, for this reason he was not at all shaken in this ordeal.
‘Faster. More precisely.’
Right now, Eun-hyeon’s mind is filled only with how to clear this ordeal.
Eun-hyeon, who was looking for a way to deal with the demons more efficiently and faster, eventually began to act.
[Eunhyeon’s Unique Ability]
[Time Acceleration]
Eun-hyeon, who accelerated the time of his own body, threw himself into the hordes of brutal beasts baring their teeth and drooling dirty drool towards him.
Squeak
The number of corpses that piled up by cutting off the heads, bodies, arms and legs of demon beasts one after another began to increase exponentially.
Even as the number increased, quickly becoming a hundred, then a thousand, and reaching the number of ten thousand, Eun-hyeon continued to move.
From the beginning, he did not hesitate to reveal his power.
It is a completely different strategy from 20 years ago, when we fought while adjusting the pace.
The goal set in the first place is different from 20 years ago.
At that time 20 years ago, his role was as a shield.
The role of holding tens of thousands of demons at this spot so as not to send a single demon to the place where the six heroes who were members of her team are engaged in a battle with the emperor of the empire.
But now, Eun-hyeon is different.
It was the same situation as then and the given conditions were similar, but there was a clear difference.
How can the difference between the time when I already gave up on life and the heart that wants to move forward with a strong desire for life can be the same?
Moreover, the achievement that Eunhyeon made during these two years was not only the creation of her own authority, which is the key to the gods that reproduces history.
[Siete Swordsmanship]
[Plum Blossom Zen]
Siete’s skill is to sever the target’s throat by avoiding the opponent’s attack, using the gap, and striking the counter at extreme speed.
It is a single-shot technique used on a single target that cuts down the opponent with fast sword speed that is invisible to the naked eye, but Eun-hyeon, whose body movement has been raised to the limit due to time acceleration, can kill dozens of demons in just a few seconds through continuous use of the technique. Showed the extreme of cutting technology.
Even so, I don’t stop thinking.
‘I could have used it twice more.’
I felt sorry for missing the timing due to the limitations caused by muscle fatigue and the linkage of movements.
Recalling once again the swordsmanship she received from her teacher, who had been turned into a Death Knight due to Mediah’s trickery in the Elven Forest, Eunhyeon, who was making her own swordsmanship, never missed training even once after that.
Eunhyun continued to grow.
It is not included in the authority of a god, but the extreme of skill that Eun-hyeon has accumulated over the course of a day, a month, and a year.
Kyaaek!
The beasts whose limbs were severed by Eun-hyeon’s sword, unable to chase even afterimages, were dying helplessly, screaming, and the number was gradually decreasing.
However, despite growing like that, Eunhyun was gradually reaching her limits.
“Nice… Ugh!”
The penalty of excessive time acceleration still gnaws at Eun-hyeon’s body.
With the amount of exercise that transcended human limits, the muscles of the whole body screamed and the joints creaked, and cracks began to be planted in the precise movements that had no error.
No matter how much he grew and became stronger, the human body had its limits.
It is impossible to get rid of limits, although it is possible to increase the limits by investing a lot of time and effort.
‘This is the beginning.’
Eunhyun bit her teeth tightly and stared at the group of demon beasts.
Because she couldn’t hold on to this limit, Eun-hyeon met her death.
If you want to have a godhead, if you want to prove that you are different from your past self, you have to go beyond this moment.
The number of monsters that threatened him is now less than half.
The fact that he slaughtered more monsters at a much faster rate than 20 years ago is unmistakable proof that Eunhyun has grown up.
[Eunhyeon’s Unique Ability]
[Time Reversal]
The muscles of the whole body that screamed and complained of pain return to their original state, and the joints that creaked from violent movements are restored to their original state before being damaged again.
“Let’s finish this quickly. I have a lot to do with you guys.”
Jupiter said that this was the first trial.
It means that the ordeal given to oneself is not one, but multiple.
Eun-hyeon continued to imagine what he would have to go through and never stop slaughtering demons.
Kyaaek!
The imperial palace filled with screams was filled with the blood and corpses of demon beasts, and Eunhyeon, standing alone in the center, trampled the body of the last demonic beast with her feet and fixed it to the floor so that it could not move.
Without hesitation, he thrust the knife into the beast’s neck.
“After… Eww…”
After cutting off the last demon’s breath, Eun-hyeon staggered and moved his steps.
His legs were about to lose strength, as if he would collapse at any moment, but Eun-hyeon stubbornly held on and moved his legs.
I wanted to refrain from sitting down inside the corpses of those monsters.
“Ha… Isn’t this just a reproduced space? What is so hard?”
As a test of the gods, he recreated his past, but his body was screaming with muscle pain, and this pain was as real as reality.
“How long have you been like this?”
As soon as he murmured that question in his mouth, he gradually realized that the world around him had begun to distort.
He hardened his face as he realized that this was a precursor to the next ordeal.
“Is it true that you roll right away without even giving a break?”
At least when he was training Erin, he gave himself enough time to rest his body, even if it was only 5 minutes, but Jupiter’s case was even worse.
If Erin had heard this story, she would have said ‘yes or not!’ As she grumbled, and Eun-hyeon looked around at the distorted and reconstructed world, lost in her thoughts.
As he thought about the first ordeal, Eun-hyeon frowned as he predicted what would happen with the next ordeal.
“I hope it isn’t.”
