Chapter 733 – 733. The God of Superpower (怪力亂神) (1)
The nine-tailed fox from another dimension has disappeared.
The body that collapsed on the floor and fell forward was too weak.
Erin stared blankly at the body that was not even breathing, as if the soul had never existed.
“…”
That body looks just like you.
To be precise, it was a self who existed in another dimension, so it would be natural.
However, unlike Erin now, her skinny and weak body, as if she hadn’t been properly nourished, was very pitiful.
She did not meet Eun-hyeon and was controlled by a nine-tailed fox, and in the end, the individual named ‘Erin’ disappeared.
It made Erin think about various things, but that composure did not last long.
[Immature things! I should have told you to focus!?]
“Ah… Ugh!?”
Along with the harsh words of a nine-tailed fox that awakens her thoughts, thoughts of a far-flung size invade Erin’s mind.
It is the thoughts of the dead that melted into the turbid magic of humans who were absorbed by the nine-tailed fox.
The limbs were cut off, and the whole body was burned, screaming in pain.
A mother’s plea over and over again not to take her child’s life.
The cries of those desperate for help.
As another nine-tailed fox admitted its defeat and chose to disappear at the same time, the huge magic power inside it was flowing into Erin’s body.
Erin’s spirit, which she had been desperately holding on to, is being hit one after another by the strong impact that gnaws at her heart.
What desperately holds her spirit of Erin now is her nine-tailed fox’s thoughts aiding her.
[Slowly. Slowly accept these magical thoughts. You don’t have to accept everything all at once. Slowly starting from the nearest one in front. And in turn…]
“… After… Right.”
Taking the nine-tailed fox’s advice, Erin took a deep breath as she felt an intense headache that threatened to knock her out at any moment.
Slowly accept the thoughts that shake your mind strongly.
If Erin was alone, she might have been swept away by the thoughts of the dead and her mind would have collapsed and become a ruined person, but now Erin can withstand the wave of thoughts because of the help of the nine-tailed fox.
Measure the amount of mental damage that Erinn can take, and adjust it so that it does not exceed that number.
In real time, he was controlling the amount of thoughts Erin could handle.
However, the current situation where all the nerves are being poured into the purification of this turbid magical power is too defenseless for Erin.
[Hundred Ghosts.]
At the voice of the nine-tailed fox speaking through her mind, the blue ghosts that had finished fighting stopped taking a break and all turned to Erin.
[Keep this immature thing.]
“I take orders.”
The White Ghosts followed the order without hesitation.
Now, it is said that control over the white ghosts was completely handed over to Erin, but the white ghosts treated her former owner, the nine-tailed fox, with respect.
All at once, with her Erin at the center, they guarded her surroundings in a formation that surrounded her in all directions as if to protect her.
It wasn’t decided when exactly the deadline was, but it didn’t matter to the hundred ghosts at all.
As long as Errin’s magical powers that make up their bodies don’t disappear, this order will continue until Erinn wakes up.
It was enough for the hundred ghosts to face the fact.
[Immature. Keep your mind straight.]
The gumiho warned again.
If you lose your concentration even a little, your mind will collapse at once, being swept away by this sea of countless thoughts.
[Before that, you must purify and absorb all these evil thoughts and make all these turbid magical powers yours.]
“… Okay.”
In fact, Erin did not understand all of the nine-tailed fox’s repeated explanation.
But there was one thing she knew for sure.
He said that he had to comfort the tens of thousands of souls and thoughts that were slaughtered by nine-tailed foxes and met a miserable end.
“Let’s begin.”
Erin took her heart through her deep breaths and began to purify her, her eyes widening with determination.
◆ ◆ ◆
Kyaaah!
The heavy monster’s tail whips around at a speed that doesn’t match its mass.
Buildings collide with each other, and the ground is dented and cracked because it cannot withstand the violence.
“Kuh… !”
Eira, narrowly escaping from the aftermath of the devastation created by the rampage of her tail, swung at terrifying speed, was in a difficult situation, not knowing how to attack this huge enemy in front of her eyes.
If you use her ki to approach and physically attack, it is not easy to approach because of the maddening tail of the basilisk and the acidic liquid that spews out of its mouth.
However, if it were to say that a ranged attack using magic outside the basilisk’s range worked, that was not the case either.
[Three-digit magic]
[Ice Needle]
The magic of the adventurer wizards in the Ephrate territory came together to activate a common magic.
Countless thorns of ice created by the condensation of water vapor in the dusty air due to the riot.
The thorns flew all at once towards the basilisk, but did not give proper damage.
“… As expected, I think what to do with those scales.”
It was Cha Han-seong that pointed out the fundamental problem.
The fundamental reason that any magic attack cannot do proper damage is because of the basilisk’s scales, which are strong and have unparalleled defense.
“Yes. But the problem is… How do you do what you said…”
Even if it’s not to the level of Illyana, if it’s the firepower of a high-digit magician who can use at least six-digit magic, it can do enough damage, but if such high-end power was here, the fight with the Basilisk would have been very easy.
‘Anyway, if it’s Erinn’s fox-fire… Could it have done the damage?’
There was a possibility, but it’s hard to expect Erin’s help now.
Erin, who is in charge of the opponent of the Shinsoo who appeared out of nowhere and had the same appearance as Erin, must be as busy as the current situation here.
“Also… Physical attacks seem to be the answer.”
No matter how much I thought about it, there was only one answer.
Right now, the Basilisk has lost one eye due to Eira’s attack and is in a state of violent riot as if struggling while feeling intense pain.
It is impossible to tear through those tough scales and inflict damage, but the entire body of a basilisk is not covered with scales.
Erin and Ayra’s excellent combination gave fatal damage, so there was no method as sure as this.
“But senior… Struggling into that chaos and aiming for the basilisk’s eyes…”
“It won’t be easy.”
Ayra admitted it meekly.
The reason he was able to pierce the basilisk’s eye with a blade was because of Erin’s preemptive attack, which showed surprising physical strength.
Approaching that basilisk, which has become more wild and violent, and giving physical damage to it is, at first glance, close to a suicidal act.
“… I will make a gap.”
“… You?”
“Yes.”
Cha Hanseong nodded with a determined face.
“But all I can do is create a gap. Then…”
“Okay. Let’s do it.”
Eira, who confirmed her firm determination to do it, could not refuse Cha Han-seong’s proposal.
As there was no other way in the first place, I had to try any way in the current situation.
“Yes?”
“What are you so surprised about? You suggested doing it.”
“No. Even so…”
When Cha Han-seong agreed so easily, he was taken aback.
If the basilisk is temporarily incapacitated, it is then up to Ayra to deliver the final blow.
In a way, it seemed like an irresponsible act of leaving her dangerous role to her, and it bothered her, but Eira didn’t care about that at all.
“Let’s do it. And this has happened before.”
“… Yes.”
I recalled that a similar trend had occurred during the previous vampire eradication operation.
Of course, at that time, it was Eira’s job to take the time while Cha Hanseong was gathering her strength, but now, on the contrary, it is the opposite situation with Cha Hansung creating gaps in the enemy and Eira striking her final blow.
“Then I will ask you.”
“Yes.”
After hearing Cha Han-seong’s answer, Eira grabbed her sword and ran towards the basilisk.
Kyaaaaa!
The basilisk, sensing her presence with only one eye approaching her, let out a roar and spit at her.
She twisted her body sideways to avoid the dangerous acid saliva that could melt even iron as well as stone with her touch.
Chi profit
Part of the armor on her shoulder rapidly corroded and melted, producing smoke.
She thought she had avoided it perfectly, but it seemed to have grazed her shoulder a little, perhaps because of the nature of her liquid.
“…”
Ayra once again put the trait into her head, keeping her attention firmly on her and closing her distance from the basilisk.
It remains unchanged that the difference in her physique is an overwhelming disadvantage.
Even if the body was strengthened with magical powers, the blows of the torso, which were swung based on the massive mass of that massive body, would be close to a fatal wound even with just one hit.
‘Are you okay. See. I can avoid it.’
Ayra’s her purpose is not to damage the basilisk.
To attract that monster’s attention and keep aggro.
Her real purpose is to buy time and set up a spot where Cha Han-sung’s attack can hit.
To that end, Eira performed her breathtaking acrobatics while avoiding the attack of a monster that was tens of times her own size.
‘… How long can I last?’
I don’t even have time to think like that.
The basilisk’s tail that slashes through the wind and the menacing acid saliva that shoots from its mouth is scary.
The time to desperately maintain aggro in a cold sweat was less than 30 seconds, but for Eira, that 30 seconds was longer than 30 minutes.
While Eira was desperately pulling aggro to buy time, Cha Han-sung concentrated on putting his magic into his sword.
[‘How can I catch up with Riod’s swordsmanship?’? Hmm. Well.]
Cha Han-seong naturally recalled the conversation he had with Eun-hyeon.
[Why are you asking me, not Riod?]
[The captain… You are a respectable person, but… To be honest, the captain’s explanation is a bit…]
[Ah.]
Looking at Cha Hanseong, who seemed to have difficulty connecting words, and blurted out the end, Eunhyeon realized the meaning of what he was trying to say.
Everyone knows that Riod is the best knight in the kingdom with the most exceptional talent in the field of swordsmanship.
However, whether or not it can teach someone good swordsmanship, leading to talent as a teacher, is a completely different issue.
Although Cha Hanseong was learning swordsmanship from Riod, there was a limit to learning something from Riod, who had developed and perfected most of his swordsmanship as a sensory part of talent.
[Surely… Riod is the kind of person who doesn’t understand why others can’t do what he can do.]
[…]
His explanation got to the point.
Reode thinks it will be possible to reach a certain level, although it will be difficult for him to reach his level if he puts in effort.
However, in reality, there are overflowing people who have no talent for swordsmanship, and most of them do not sympathize with that irrational idea.
Neither Eun-hyeon nor Cha Han-seong had any intention of denying Riode’s theory, but at least they could not sympathize.
[But is there a need to perfectly imitate Riod’s sword?]
[… Yes?]
Eun-hyeon had doubts about Cha Han-seong’s worries.
[Why are you trying to perfectly reproduce Riod’s swordsmanship?]
[That’s it… It’s because the captain’s swordsmanship is the strongest in the kingdom of Pernias, on the continent of Arcena.]
[Wrong.]
[… ?]
[It’s not because Riod’s swordsmanship is the strongest. Riod is the strongest because he is using that swordsmanship. The nature of the problem itself is wrong. In the first place, Riod’s swordsmanship is a sword that Riod created in an optimal form to suit himself.]
Riod’s physique, strength and magical power, and his usual habits that he inadvertently creates are melted and reflected in his swordsmanship, which is Riod’s ‘Olivion swordsmanship’.
It is close to impossible for Hansung Cha to perfectly reproduce it.
This is because his physique, strength and magical power, and the weight of the experience of the effort and time accumulated to create that swordsmanship are significantly different.
[Let’s take Eira as an example. Ayra had never learned a sword from Riod. But… She now understands and establishes the Olivion swordsmanship in her own form, admirably, and has made it her own.]
In order to make up for the lack of physical ability due to gender differences, the heavy and serious swordsmanship was sublimated into a sharper, faster and fiercer swordsmanship.
She didn’t receive any special instruction, she just looked at and mastered Rio de’s sword, understood it, changed it, and made it her own.
Although there may be differences in the technologies that are expressed, the fundamentals have not changed.
If you look at it like this, wouldn’t Eira also be a sword genius who inherited her father’s talent intact?
[The reason doesn’t matter. She will create the form of swordsmanship that suits her best in any form. Because the things I learned from Leo don’t disappear at all.]
His own sword made like that.
Through Eun-hyeon’s advice that the trigger doesn’t matter, what Cha Han-seong got as a motif was the skill of the main character in a cartoon he had seen as a child.
It was just a technology in a fictional story, but there was a time when I had a pure desire to try and reproduce it in my childhood.
It wasn’t that there wasn’t any hesitation about whether this could be the case.
‘I don’t know.’
For the first time, Cha Han-seong showed off his swordsmanship, which was created with such a feeling.
[Olivion swordsmanship]
[Wound of the Wind]
