Chapter 925 – 925. Nightmare (5)
“Eight!”
Erin rotated her body and threw a kick back at Joo Hyun-seong.
“Oh.”
Joo Hyun-seong burst out in admiration as he saw Erin’s legs flying fiercely around her.
Soon, Joo Hyeon-seong raised his left arm and blocked Erin’s kick aimed at his temple.
“It’s fast. And it’s heavy.”
“Profit!”
However, contrary to the praise, Erin was enraged by Joo Hyun-seong’s clean blocking.
When I blocked her with a smile and an exclamation of admiration, I thought she was only making fun of me.
Erin landed on her floor and at the same time rotated her body once again to attack Joo Hyun-seong.
This time, with her body bent, she used a spinning blow, and the target was his side.
“An attack with large movements conversely creates a large gap.”
Joo Hyun-seong smiled and caught Erin’s roundhouse kick to his side.
A heavy blow that could not possibly come from a woman with a slender body and mass.
However, what makes it possible is not only rapid growth through strengthening the body, but also centrifugal force created by well-trained legs.
“Didn’t that guy teach you?”
“Joy! “I know!?”
She spoke indignantly, but even Erin didn’t expect that she would block it so cleanly.
“Haha! Feel so good!”
Joo Hyun-seong was impressed once again.
Erin had mastered how to use her own body.
She knows how to bring out her offensive power, which is multiplied by her own body, and she understands the principles and knows how to utilize them.
This is probably more like a habit ingrained into her body through consistent repetition and learning rather than an innate ability.
This was possible because someone consistently managed her, guided her, and paid attention to her.
It is natural that Eun-hyeon, who naturally raised Erin, can’t help but look satisfied.
“You really raised it well! “It’s very fun!”
Joo Hyeon-seong didn’t care at all even though Erin’s kick hit her square in the side.
Erin was momentarily shocked that her own attack didn’t go through at all.
‘No way!’
She kicked with all her might, but the feel of Joo Hyeon-seong’s side from her legs was too hard to be a vital point.
It was so hard, as if she was kicking a huge rock, that there was no sense that her own attack had actually gone through.
“What’s the matter. Miss? “You seem surprised?”
Perhaps it was because Erin’s embarrassment was so obvious, Joo Hyun-seong asked with a grin.
“Tsk… !”
Belatedly, Erin was startled and tried to widen the distance by retrieving the leg she had kicked, but she did not go as easily as Erin had intended.
Hyunseong Joo wrapped his arms around Erin’s legs and crossed her arms.
Erin’s legs were tightly pinned as she struggled to free herself from her epiphany’s arms, but she was so solid that she could not escape.
“I went in correctly, but I don’t know why there is no damage at all, right?”
“… !”
“If you don’t know, you should be right.”
Joo Hyeon-seong had no intention of paying attention to Erin because she was a woman and that she was Eun-hyeon’s student and wife.
Her fist from the other side slammed into Erin’s face as she held him in one of her arms, pinning Erin’s legs tightly to prevent him from escaping.
Pow!
“Huh!?”
Erin’s head turned, letting out her breath as her heavy fist struck her cheek.
I felt dizzy from the intense shock, almost as if I had been hit with a hammer.
The consciousness that fell into a dark abyss due to a temporary stunned state was forcibly brought to the surface.
Because there was no time for me to lose my mind.
The cheek where I got punched feels tingly and hot.
‘It really hurts!’
However, perhaps because he had been hit with a fist like this before, he immediately quickly adjusted his stance.
“Sigh!”
Joo Hyeon-seong’s arm was inserted and applied force to the fixed leg, forcing it to rotate.
Erin’s other foot flew through the air.
She hit Joo Hyun-seong on the chin.
Pow!
Joo Hyeon-seong’s head turned to the side like Erin’s when she was hit by her fist.
At the same time, Joo Hyun-seong’s arm, which was tightly holding Erin’s arm, was released.
As soon as she confirmed that her tight lock had been released, Erin kicked her bottom, breaking away from Joo Hyun-seong and increasing the distance between her.
Soon, Joo Hyeon-seong’s head returned to its original state and turned towards Erin.
“Under.”
Joo Hyun-seong looked at Erin with a grin at the corner of her mouth, wondering what was funny.
“… Hehe.”
Erin spit out the blood that had accumulated in her mouth and looked at Joo Hyun-seong.
The inside of her mouth must have been torn from the previous attack, and the blood flowing out mixed with saliva, making her feel very bad.
At the same time, Erin’s vigilance, as she continued to stare at Joo Hyun-seong, was not disturbed.
She looks pretty and fragile, but her actions are tough, like a fighter who has gone through many hardships.
“You noticed it sooner than I thought. “It worked this time.”
Erin’s prediction was correct.
This time she definitely had the sense that her own attack had gone into it.
“… “You’re concentrating your body’s strengthening on one point, right?”
“Okay. “You noticed it well.”
“I know one person who fought like you.”
Erin immediately thought of Ray Nan, with whom she had fought once.
She still shivers when she remembers the damage she suffered when he attacked her.
The blow was powerful enough to make her lose her mind for a moment, but what was even scarier was his defense, which caused no damage whatsoever no matter how many times he attacked her.
The reason why Rainen was able to use a strong and solid defense that could even block Erin’s attacks was because of her powerful magical power that she was born with.
According to the story I heard from Eunhyun and Illyana later, Raynan was a genius among geniuses who naturally possessed enormous magical power, second only to Illyana in their team.
But ironically, he did not have the magical talent to handle all that enormous magical power.
Raynan, who took a cue from Anies, who was born blessed with divinity and possessed overwhelming defensive power, developed his own way of fighting.
So, by semi-forcibly honing his senses and pouring all his magic into strengthening his body, Raynan was able to use a powerful defense that was harder than rock and stronger than steel.
His body, which improved its defense by covering it with magical energy as if coating its entire body, provided overwhelming offensive power in strikes as much as its defensive power.
And according to Eun-hyeon’s explanation, there was also a different way of strengthening Raynan’s body than the one that improved all of the body’s overall abilities.
“Instead of simply strengthening the body, the attack and defense power were further increased by concentrating the strengthening in a specific area, right?”
“Okay.”
Hyeonseong Joo said yes without hesitation as to what to hide.
In the first place, this strengthening method was also taught by Eunhyeon, who had been taught by him, to Raynan using the case of Anies as an example.
This technology, which focuses magic power and reinforcement on one specific area, allows you to use powerful attack and defense power, but on the other hand, it is a double-edged sword that leaves other areas relatively vulnerable.
“If you can predict or respond to the opponent’s movements, there is nothing as perfect as this.”
In other words, it meant that Joo Hyun-seong could read all of Erin’s movements.
“…”
Erin’s eyebrows twitched when she realized that.
For some reason, I felt very proud and annoyed.
It was a story I always heard from everyone.
The movements are too monotonous.
It’s so easy to read.
I lack experience.
There is no skill.
Among the many battles Erin had to endure, the reasons why she had to struggle.
“What’s the matter. Miss? “Are you angry?”
“…”
Erin didn’t answer.
Joo Hyeon-seong’s question was nothing short of the truth.
“… “Is it true?”
“Under…”
Erin let out her sigh.
“Is the attack monotonous? “Are your movements easy to read?”
“… Miss?”
At the moment when she was puzzled by Erin’s voice continuing to mutter something, Erin glared at her Joo Hyun-seong, revealing her irritation.
“You lack experience?”
“No. Well, it’s not that she’s lacking anything, but what can I say, I can see right away where she’s aiming…”
Hyunseong Joo unknowingly made excuses and comforted her Erin.
The atmosphere around her became unusually heavy.
She could feel the air trembling and the temperature rising.
Finally, Erin opened her mouth.
“That’s it!”
Erin let out a roar that contained her annoyance.
Lily and Verdandi nearby looked at Erin in surprise as she heard Erin’s voice spread through the air.
“… Erin?”
Lily called out to her to check on Erin’s condition as her bunch whined, but Erin did not answer her Lily’s calls.
Rather, Erin looked at Lily again.
“Sister Lily!”
“Uh, huh?”
“Make me my rapier!”
Now that she was in the space of her dreams rather than her reality, Erin asked for her own beloved sword.
“Uh, ah, okay.”
Lily didn’t know why her emotions were so heightened, but she immediately created a replica of the Levante that Erin had used and threw it at Erin.
She caught the Levantean flying in a parabola as if to catch him, and immediately pulled her sword blade out of her scabbard.
At the same time, blue flames erupted from Erin’s body and swirled around her.
As if to represent Erin’s heightened emotions, a blue flame made of her magical power covered Erin’s entire body.
Fox ears and nine silver-white tails appeared on the tip of her head.
Erin shouted as she took her stance, revealing the form of a divine beast that she rarely used unless she was on the front lines.
“Have you tried avoiding this before?”
Movement is monotonous.
Easy to read.
In that case, all you have to do is make an attack that is monotonous and easy to read, but can never be countered.
Low rock formation (猪突猛進)
Erin was so angry and fuming like her little child that she pulled out her own secret.
She pulled back her hand holding the rapier, as if she was stringing her bow.
The moment the blue flame condensing on the blade reached its limit and began to shine, Erin shot her blade forward.
[Erin’s unique sword technique]
[Cheongsa (靑射)]
A solid blue line fired from the tip of the rapier’s blade flew in a straight line and reached Joo Hyeon-seong.
“Sigh… !?”
Joo Hyeon-seong was startled and turned his head.
Blood flowed from his cheek where a needle-like solid line passed.
“…”
If he hadn’t escaped he would have died.
He was sure of it.
From the legs of the lower body stepping on the floor, to the force coming up through the twisting waist to the blade holding the sword in the upper body, the posture and movement perfectly convey the physical force without waste.
The series of processes is a beautiful demonstration of technology that can be praised as ‘perfection’ and is admired.
The technique of utilizing everything, including one’s magical powers and physical abilities, is so beautiful that one cannot help but admire it.
And what was even more surprising was the magical power of the mysterious blue flame that was released in an instant.
“That was just…”
The solid line, which was like a laser made of light, was like an intangible projectile in which Erin’s magical power was concentrated.
The attack, which is faster than a bullet or faster than light, boasts extreme penetrating power that makes defense meaningless from the moment it reaches the target.
Overwhelming attack power that is impossible to see, avoid, or even block.
The technique performed with the sword was close to ‘shooting’ and did not fall into the category of ‘sword striking’, and was enough to make even Joo Hyeon-seong, who faced the attack, break into a cold sweat.
“This is a foul…”
The overwhelming power of the divine beast, capable of overturning the perfection of the body’s physical and technical skills, exceeded Joo Hyeon-seong’s expectations.
“It’s noisy! One more hit!”
As Erin took her stance again, a concentrated blue light glowed from the tip of her rapier.
