Chapter 152 – Strike Back
#152.
“The cheeky ones!”
Scarily as Prause charged, Kal Dran, who had escaped the aftermath of the Mirror of Truth, drew his own sword and shook it in all directions from him.
Along the trajectory of the big swing, a strong air of red flame that rose in an instant spread.
“Where!”
“Be judged by God!”
The attack was received by Prause and Julkes.
First of all, Prauss stretched out his strong ki and removed the attack through a snake-like movement, and Yulkes blocked the remaining attacks using the divine barrier.
The barrier rippled and vibrated whenever the river of flame exploded, but it did not collapse in the end and successfully dispelled all attacks.
However, Kaldran’s attack has just begun.
“As expected, humans are a disgusting race. There is no difference between you and the demons.”
With an angry voice, a huge mass of flame was formed about 5m above the ground.
It was as if a small sun had descended on the ground.
The stinging heat and intense light made it difficult to respond to attacks.
“Die!”
At the same time as he was doing his job, the little sun became almost a hundred bullets and scattered all over the place.
Doo doo doo doo doo!
“This!”
“Ouch… !”
Prause also concentrated on avoiding and defending as much as possible, as if he could not handle such an attack.
In the end, those countless bullets collided intact with Yulkes’s barrier, and after blocking about half of them, they were broken.
Kwagwagwagwagwang—!
“For Martina!”
“Aaaaagh!!”
There were still many spectators near the execution site.
The Paladins try to block the blind attacks targeting them, but it is unreasonable to block the river with their level.
In the end, the whole body was burned, or it was pierced by strong wind and lay down.
Gaon also moves in its own way and kicks off the attacks, but the surroundings are completely devastated due to less than half of the attacks in close to a hundred hands.
‘As expected, it can’t go on like this.’
I’m sorry for the paladins who came to help, but in front of the realm of 9 stars, they are rather a hindrance.
If they had been able to play an active part, they wouldn’t have let Chorin and Hayeon go.
Gaon glanced at the three lovers watching him from afar, where they would not be exposed to attack, and placed a hand on his chest.
To be precise, I focused my mind on the middle battle that I had pioneered after reaching 7 stars.
Mana basically always cycles.
Therefore, it is not possible to store mana in various parts of the body normally.
If you have already received mana before the lower end and try to store it again before stopping, it will eventually cause a backlash and scatter.
Normally, I would understand that it was unavoidable, but Gaon did not stop.
He had the experience of absorbing the heart of a black dragon in his previous life and forming a dragon heart before he stopped.
Why does the heart of the dragon work and not the danteon? He searched for it over and over again and eventually came to find a way.
It is to use truth.
Jinbeop is a thing that imitates the spirit vein.
It interprets the spirit vein, the channel of the world where mana flows, through the eight trigrams, temporarily holds energy, and uses that energy to reveal various effects.
Gaon conceived of it and formed the formation of the middle school.
By name.
‘Mojo Danjeon.’
Using the technique of rubella that shaped the storm, gather all the energy, build it up as a form, and store the energy.
In fact, it is a technique that is not very useful.
The time it takes to build up that form is also time, and it’s only a one-time use that disappears after using it once, and although it’s an imitation, the impact of destroying the danteon remains as permanent damage to the body.
In severe cases, this technique, which can even reach mana regurgitation, is in fact a technique of Dongguijin.
However, by Gaon’s side, there is a person who can solve all the risks.
So, you can use it without hesitation.
‘Opening!’
Crackle—!
Along with a small rupture sound resounding inside the body, the imitation danteon formed before the interruption was destroyed, and the energy contained within it spread all over the place.
Gi-ki couldn’t find a place to settle down and tried to run outside, but he couldn’t break through Ga-on’s barrier and wandered on the road.
Of course, if this happens, the body that is saturated with energy will not be able to withstand it and will just collapse, but that was not something to think about right now.
‘It’s possible now.’
The difference between 7 and 8 stars is the movement of systemic veins.
By connecting all passages in the body without any impurities, mana can move the moment the will is released.
As a result, it is not restricted by the form, so it is possible to freely handle the river.
In other words, mana just needs to be located at the desired moment.
And now, his whole body was filled with energy that ran amok with nowhere to go.
“Whoa…”
After taking a long breath, Gaon’s eyes turned to Kaldran, Praus, and Yulkes, who were exchanging battles while he focused for a moment.
Although Praus and Julkes were strong men who reached the level of 8 stars, they were struggling as if they had reached their limits just by coping with Kaldran’s attacks.
Milenia, Volkar, Cain, and their guild members also joined in and continued the offensive, but they still failed to gain the upper hand.
At this rate, even the slightest mistake would upset all balance.
‘I have to join.’
It seems that the frustration is going away now.
He was always suffering from insufficient mana and was unable to fight properly due to his weak physical ability, but this time he seemed to be able to show off his skills a little.
Jump! Shit-
The incontinence went to the floor centering on his right foot.
Due to the rapid increase in physical ability in a short period of time, the perfect coordination of strength has not yet been achieved.
After estimating him and adapting properly, he kicked the ground vigorously and exploded mana.
Kwaaaaang-!
With a huge storm emanating from his toe, Gaon became a dot and fired at Kal Dran.
Shockwaves were scattered in all directions as he ran beyond the speed of sound, knocking off Kaldran who was swinging his sword at Prause.
Kaaang!
Kaldran, who received Gaon’s blow in an unstable position and was not prepared properly, was unable to dispel all the shock and bounced back.
Gaon spurred through the air and chased after him, stabbing the spear continuously.
Phut! Pababang!
Head, chest, belly, and then head again.
The attack was so fast that it seemed as if the spear had split into multiple pieces, but Kaldran used his miraculous swordsmanship to parry it.
The explosion of flames at the moment of collision tore Gaon’s palm apart, but he didn’t care at all and continued to attack.
When the battle between him and Kaldran continued for about a second, Prauss, who had caught up with him, swung his sword in a semicircle and split Kaldran’s side.
To block it, Gaon’s spear pierced his temple, aiming for Kal Dran’s gap, and Volkar’s halberd, which joined later, took a picture of his shoulder.
When he removed it, the cold air bursting from Cain’s alchemy arrow extinguished the flames, and Milenya’s elemental magic seized him by the ankles and pulled him down to the ground.
Dozens of attacks poured in in such a short amount of time, and even if it was Kal Dran, his hands were bound to be twisted.
In the span of one second, he is forced to make hundreds of thousands of choices, and he loses his life the moment any of those choices go wrong.
Due to Gaon’s joining, Kal Dran, who was now completely on the defensive, gnashed his teeth and his eyes flashed and his energy exploded.
“Kuaaaaa!”
Kwagwagwang!!
The flames erupted through the pores of the whole body exploded, blowing away everyone who was attacking the surroundings.
Paaang—!
Gaon immediately used Poongwolbo to blast the wind in the opposite direction to relieve his shock and correct his body balance.
And when he turned his head to the front, Kal Dran was holding a sword of flame right in front of him.
I see a long trail of flames behind him.
“Kwaap!”
“Keugh!”
───!
I went deaf for an instant due to the excessive drinking that exceeded human limits.
A huge shock weighed down on the body to the extent that the bones of the whole body creaked.
Gaon struggled against the formidable heat that melted his strong energy in real time, struggling to let go of the blow.
However, the guy retrieved his sword as if he had no regrets about this blow, and summoned dozens of flame swords from around him and fired them at Gaon.
Each of them had tremendous power.
In fact, speaking of the 9-star level, it is safe to say that the form of martial arts has already reached its peak.
As such, it could not be said that he was not an opponent at all even when compared to Gaon.
The flaming swords flying in an optimal trajectory for killing people were short-lived, but enough to stop Gaon.
As if forming a passing formation, the flame swords moved by themselves and poured waves of attacks toward Gaon from all sides.
Meanwhile, Khaldran turned to deal with the others.
The first thing to deal with when you are accepted is the person who achieves the center. However, if it is difficult to break down the center, it is natural to attack from the outside.
Knowing that Gaon is the most troublesome opponent by parrying the previous blow, and that he cannot be defeated before the others join in, he has changed his aim.
‘Let’s calm down.’
Watching the people start to collapse as the central shaft fell off, Gaon, who struck down the flame sword, cooled his mind and raised his concentration.
A total of 12 flame swords. It perceives all of it through its sharpened senses, and calculates the flight trajectory.
Of course, it’s tough to have things go according to all his expectations. But if that’s the case, you should induce them to do so.
9 star realm. The quality and quantity of magical power possessed. Type of swordsmanship learned. Up to the character of the parties.
Putting them all together, it exposes the gaps that he should have seen when he sees them, and by doing so, gives the illusion that he can get rid of them.
That was the moment when the most gaps were revealed.
Gaon, who had been holding on, began to stumble on purpose, and at the crucial moment, he sensed the flame sword flying from both directions and rolled up his mouth.
Right before his chest and back were pierced by two flaming swords, Gaon swung his spear wide, covering his vision and at the same time using the method of hiding his energy, a characteristic of rubella, to deceive Kaldran.
As he leaned back diagonally to the right, two flame swords passed by and collided with each other, causing an explosion.
It was the moment when the passing team collapsed.
Gaon destroyed the flame sword one after another, and eventually was able to destroy the passing group before a minute had passed.
However, by that time, most of the personnel had already collapsed with serious injuries.
All that was left were the three guild leaders, including Prause and Yulkes.
Even they were on the verge of collapsing.
‘Shit!’
The damage is greater than expected.
Gaon immediately spurred his air and lunged at Kaldran.
