Chapter 926 – 926. Nightmare (6)
Peeing!
“Wow!”
Once again, the light emitted from the tip of Erin’s blade struck Hyeonseong Joo.
Is it correct to say that it attacked me?
Rather, it might be more accurate to say that I just passed by.
The light sent from the tip of the blade formed a thin solid line and rushed in.
The bloody sound of the air heating up and then burning passed Joo Hyeon-seong’s ears.
“How is it! “You can’t stop this!?”
Erin shot Joo Hyeon-seong triumphantly.
It was a completely different aspect from the bare-handed fight from earlier, when he read her attack pattern and path and confidently strengthened his defense.
The reason she couldn’t only choose to dodge was because the magic beam emitted from the tip of her blade had tremendous penetrating power and the offensive power to melt and tear the body to pieces.
Joo Hyeon-seong was helpless and had no choice but to choose to avoid her due to her unique technique that utilized the magical power of the divine beast that could never be stopped.
“This is foul! Miss!”
“What! He said that because I lack experience, my attacks are monotonous and easy to read! “Let’s try to stop this too!”
As Joo Hyun-seong, he wanted to give Erin advice on her fighting style and senses, but perhaps because her methods were wrong, it only ended up making Erin angry.
“It’s really bloody… !”
Joo Hyeon-seong stuck out her tongue and stared at Erin, who was holding her rapier.
Perhaps it was because she felt how powerful the swarm of light emitted from the tip of her rapier was that she broke into a cold sweat.
“Power is power, but…”
The most dangerous thing is that speed.
That line of light extending in a straight line literally exceeds the speed of light.
It was impossible for Joo Hyun-seong to respond to the speed that passed him by in an instant.
The reason he was able to avoid her narrow position was because he predicted the line of fire of her attack by looking at Erin’s posture and the tip of the rapier’s blade where her attack was directed.
But even that wasn’t perfect.
Because the interval between the start point of the attack and the point of arrival was so short and fast that it was literally the blink of an eye, it was impossible for her to avoid it completely even if she had predicted the attack’s path.
“What a ridiculous girl… !”
Joo Hyeon-seong smiled bitterly and avoided Erin’s ‘blue guard’ by a narrow margin.
The heat of the rays burning my skin and passing by made me break into a cold sweat.
“I’ve never been this scared, even when faced with soldiers holding firearms… “I mean!”
Peeing!
The good news was that speakers were impossible.
After using her technique, there was a clear period before she regained her stance and gathered her strength to fire.
How short the period is and how quickly the preparations are completed is a matter of Erin’s precise magic control and skill.
Joo Hyeon-seong dug into that gap.
[Erin’s unique sword technique]
[Cheongsa (靑射)]
“It’s a worm!”
Erin’s ‘blue eyes’ became more threatening the closer she got to her.
Because the attack, which was already fast, took place right in front of her eyes.
She thought she had narrowly avoided it, but the blue flame pierced Ju Hyeon-seong’s shoulder.
“Tsk… !”
Rather than saying ‘it hurts,’ it’s so hot that it makes you dizzy.
Joo Hyeon-seong frowned, endured the pain and moved forward.
“Profit!”
Erin was unable to hide her exasperated expression as Joo Hyun-seong approached her with a bold lunge.
In fact, this technique, which requires precise control of magical power and putting the entire body’s strength into a single thrust, still has a low accuracy rate due to the considerable amount of concentration required.
The power and speed were enough to make even Joo Hyun-seong break out in a cold sweat, but as it required precise control of magical power, the skill was still lacking.
And there are also disadvantages.
Even a pistol that boasts incredible power and speed can actually be a disadvantage in close combat where a certain distance cannot be secured.
Erin’s skills were no exception.
“I guess this isn’t the only thing I have to show you!”
Joo Hyeonseong shouted excitedly, fully intending to bring the fight back to close combat.
Even when faced with a sword-wielding opponent, Joo Hyeon-seong was still unable to hide his excitement, let alone being intimidated.
If it only narrows the distance, Erin’s ‘blue temple’ is practically useless.
“That can’t be right!”
Erin knew very well that her skills were not yet at a level where she could gain an absolute advantage.
Of course, as he was well aware of his weaknesses and loopholes, he also predicted that Joo Hyeon-seong would aim for those points and relentlessly narrow the distance.
That’s why she took a stance as if she was waiting.
Erin also rushed towards Joo Hyeon-seong, who was running towards her and closing the distance between him.
In an instant, the distance between the two narrows, and Erin, who is relatively small in stature, snuggles into her Joo Hyeon-seong’s arms.
Erin hurled her Levanteans towards her main star.
‘This…’
It cannot be avoided, Joo Hyeon-seong immediately concluded.
At the same time, I admire it.
‘Was it really this way?’
Unlike the fighting from before, Erin, holding her rapier in hand, was skilled and fierce.
As soon as she gets within range where she can’t dodge, she fiercely closes the distance and aims for the fatal blow.
The sharp tip of the rapier’s blade has already reached Joo Hyeon-seong’s chest.
It was already too late to avoid this attack.
Erin must have guided herself by calculating the distance she couldn’t avoid.
‘It’s pretty good.’
Joo Hyun-seong showed a satisfied expression.
Erin is aware of her own shortcomings and problems, and she knows how to continue to think and act in order to somehow overcome and break through them.
Even if it was an extremely ignorant method that bordered on ‘low-stone marching,’ she was growing.
‘Should I accept and lose at this point?’
Joo Hyeon-seong had no interest in winning or losing from the beginning.
His purpose from the beginning was to gauge the level of Erin, Eun-hyeon’s student, and give advice.
Now that she knew she didn’t need advice, she had no reason to fight anymore.
Not only is it purely physical ability, but the unique techniques she has created by taking advantage of her own characteristics are very creative.
Her own state that no one can imitate and that is not even easy to catch up to.
Isn’t it pretty cool?
Just as he was about to face Erin’s attack with a satisfied expression on his face.
Kwaaaaang!
Heaven and earth shook, split apart, and began to sweep the surrounding area.
“Kwaaagh!?”
At the moment when Joo Hyeon-seong almost achieved victory by delivering a fatal blow, Erin and Joo Hyeon-seong’s bodies were suddenly swept away by a storm that swirled nearby and the bodies of Erin and Joo Hyeon-seong momentarily floated into the air.
Erin, who landed once again on the unstable ground that shook her violently, panicked and turned her head towards the place where the storm that had swept over had formed.
“W-what!?”
She then stared at the sight that came into view, and was at a loss for words.
“Omg…”
The same goes for Joo Hyun-seong, who turned his head to check at the same time as Erin.
A wind as sharp as a cut blows, and a heat wave strong enough to distort the space explodes, filling the space.
Awls of thin ice pour down like rain, cooling the heat heated up by the heat wave.
The flat ground cracked, shook, and the terrain itself became distorted.
“… “Isn’t that a bit harsh?”
The scale of the fight between her and Erin so far was so different that it seemed like a ridiculous child’s play.
At the center of the disaster, which was creating a bloody storm that even affected the surrounding area, swordsmen and wizards who had reached the top level in their respective fields were competing against each other.
◆ ◆ ◆
[Double-digit sub-magic]
[Fireball]
Dozens of fireballs filled the sky and fell to the ground to bury just one person.
A magical volley containing the wizard’s will to completely incinerate the only swordsman standing on the ground.
“… “It’s enormous.”
Another Eunhyeon was amazed as she stared at the dozens of fireballs flying towards her.
Even when he was alive, he wondered if there had ever been a wizard who performed at this level.
Another Eunhyeon doesn’t know much about the field of magic.
Since they had never fought together, formed a party, or collaborated, it was impossible to estimate the level of the wizards.
However, even when she compared her level to the wizards of the era in which she lived, she was certain that she easily surpassed them.
Of course, I had no intention of simply accepting all of her magic and turning her into ashes.
Another Eunhyeon lightly waved her hand towards the fireballs flying towards her.
The spheres of flame that were about to touch his hand all escaped his body and collided with the ground.
Quaaaaang!
Amid the dozens of fireballs exploding as they hit the ground, amidst the intense burning heat, another Eunhyeon looked leisurely at Illyana floating in the sky.
“…”
Illyana didn’t really like the seemingly relaxed attitude of Eunhyeon.
Rather than saying that her own attacks didn’t work at all, her impression was that she had just swatted her own magic aside, as if she were throwing her things away.
It was very nerve-wracking that, instead of using the same magic to block or evade her own attack, which was made up of her magical power and had no form of her own, she forcibly deflected it like a flowing stream of water.
Illyana thought.
“If it doesn’t work, try something else.”
Once again, dozens of magic circles appeared around her and began to rotate furiously.
Like an engine running continuously, the magic circles that started to activate poured out magic all at once.
[Four-digit sub-magic]
[Wind Cutter]
[Three-digit sub-magic]
[Icicle Needle]
A bitter cold wind blew through the air, and ice picks fell like rain, cooling the sweltering heat.
The other Eun-hyeon, as expected, was not shaken at all even when she faced the fierce magic barrage aimed at her.
She waved her hands leisurely, deflecting the shapeless wind.
Even the heat around her froze, flicking away the cold awl that dispersed the smoke.
There was something strange about the fact that even an awl of cold air with a clear shape and mass was thrown away.
His actions, which do not block the rain of cold awls, which already have stronger penetrating and attacking power due to the fall, from the front, but direct them to the side and let them flow, are full of a sense of strangeness.
“…”
“You look like you don’t like something.”
“No? “Not at all?”
Illyana feigned calmness and responded to Eunhyeon’s other point.
“Anyway, it’s really bloody.”
Another Eunhyeon looked at the surrounding area that had been devastated by Illyana’s magic rampage.
“Your husband could have been caught up in it, that’s bold. Or maybe you just did it without thinking.”
“It can’t possibly be like that.”
Illyana said, laughing at another Eunhyeon.
This wide range of magic spells also means that the range of damage was carefully calculated so as not to reach Eunhyeon.
And this wasn’t her only aim.
Damn it!
In a situation where the distorted terrain was turning into a mess due to countless magic attacks, the terrain between Eunhyeon and Eunhyeon was divided.
“Under.”
The other Eunhyun laughed as if she was dumbfounded.
Did she think that such a shallow tactic to separate herself and her Eun-hyeon would work on her?
But she didn’t care if she was separated from Eunhyun.
She wasn’t the only one preventing his wives from reaching his side.
“What is the reason for doing this?”
“Because I don’t want her to get sick anymore.”
In his dreams, Illyana’s feelings for him deepened after she learned of his past.
The same would be true of her other wives.
The fundamental reason why we push ourselves and hurt ourselves.
After learning about her abnormal way of thinking, which places no value on her own life, and the starting point of her broken heart, her feelings became even stronger.
“Growth achieved through pain and suffering? I don’t want that. I am… “I want Hyun to be happy.”
I wish I could no longer suffer, no longer be in pain, and be happy.
“Guardian of the Underworld? Apostle of the Goddess? Slaying the devils? “All of that has nothing to do with me.”
In any case, she could not feel any sense of duty or obligation to protect Illyana.
The driving force behind Illyana’s growth and actions was to spend her entire life with her companion.
“What exactly is the growth that must be achieved by constantly stimulating and suffering from the terrible trauma of the past?”
What meaning is there?
It would have been better not to have achieved that kind of growth.
“Because I would rather fulfill a mission that requires you to hurt yourself so much. All you have to do is just stay by my side.”
“What is your reason for doing this?”
“…”
Another Eunhyeon did not answer Illyana’s question.
“For what purpose did you cling to my husband, a remnant of thoughts that had already died in another world, and create a futile affair?”
As if reacting to Illyana’s threatening life, her magic scattered around her fluctuated.
