Chapter 153 – Strike Back
153 – Counterattack
#153.
On the other hand, when Gaon had just gotten out of the flame sword pass and charged at Kaldran, there were three women looking at him.
“Sister, can I really stay like this?”
“… I can’t help it. Because we are too weak.”
While answering Ha-yeon, Cho-rin clasped her hands together as if praying, and continued to transmit her mana from her magic stone to Ga-on.
The heat of the flames emitted by Kaldran was so strong that Gaon’s body was severely burned here and there even though he hadn’t been hit by the proper attack.
There is no effect right now, but if it continues to deteriorate, its combat power will eventually decline. Chorin was healing his wounds to help as much as possible.
He, of course, did not blindly erase all the wounds.
Not only was that a waste of his mana, but due to the nature of Gaon, who gets stronger the more he gets injured, it was something that could cause even greater injuries.
In the end, there was no choice but to keep his physical ability at a level where he could keep up with the attack to some extent.
Seeing her like that, her Hayeon bit her lip.
‘It’s not helping at all.’
The reason why he followed Gaon is because he loves him, but the desire to improve to become stronger also accounts for a large proportion.
He swore he would never be miserable again, but it wasn’t long before a feeling of powerlessness crept into his bones.
Ha-yeon looked at the workshop, which she could only see as flames and wind dancing, and tightened her hand holding her spear.
Just when the two of them were lost in their own thoughts, Priscilla opened her mouth.
“… Sorry.”
When Hayeon turned her head, she saw Priscilla with her head down.
“I’m sorry for being greedy and dragging you into useless things. Really… I have no shame, but I wanted to apologize.”
Ha-yeon doesn’t know how to comfort a person like this. That’s why she muttered and worried, but Chorin answered.
“You don’t have to. Even if I was in that situation, I would have fallen for Gaon.”
“That…”
When she said that her Priscilla understood her, Chorin, who had been trying to muffle her words with a complicated expression on her face, turned her head to face her.
“Instead, it would be better to prepare yourself when this is over, right? Because I won’t see you.”
“… Of course.”
“Is it so. Then… Wait now Until Mr. Gaon finishes everything.”
Chorin looked in the direction of Gaon again and focused her magical energy.
She didn’t even think that Gaon would lose.
To Chorin, Gaon was always a cool and strong man.
At that time, in her eyes, Gaon could not overcome Kaldran’s sword power and saw it bounce back.
Immediately after, Kaldran soared upward, and the huge flames that burned all over formed a single sun.
People attacked and tried to stop it somehow, but again to no avail.
‘Miss Gaon!’
As if the end of the world had come, she tried to push her fears away by filling her heart with a sense of despair.
Just then, a voice sounded in her ear.
-Chorin, please heal me.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Gaon stepping forward.
***
“Go away!”
Kwaaang!
It couldn’t be blazing, but now it was just a white-stained sword, and power that was incomparable to before came out.
Gaon’s body was thrown back by the incomparable sword power.
I looked around and saw everyone tired.
Prause’s one arm was drooping from being fully cooked, and Yulketh’s mouth was bleeding from an internal injury as the barrier was broken countless times.
Milenya’s mana is low and her complexion is bluish, and Volkar is sweating profusely from the heat, unbecomingly.
Cain threw away the broken bow and took out a new one, groping for an empty waist.
Kaldran’s voice filled the space filled with such rough breathing.
“Now it is. Entire. I will kill them all with all my might.”
As soon as he finished his words, Kaldran soared high and formed a small sun in the air again.
But its size was nothing compared to the one before.
The giant sphere of flame, which was five times larger than before, began to slowly fall.
Coo coo coo…
It was such a hopeless sight that I was mistaken that the world was collapsing.
It’s true that Kaldran has the upper hand, but that doesn’t mean he’s relaxed.
There was a limit to the amount of mana he had, and in the end, it would only be at a disadvantage if the fight was prolonged.
In order to end the sluggish fight at once, he drew most of his mana and focused on the blow.
The mana that dwells there is huge enough to blow up the surrounding area. Perhaps the moment it fell, not only this execution site but also the entire plaza would melt.
“Stop!”
“Pour all the attacks!”
Everyone squeezed all their strength and launched an attack at the small sun, but they were all consumed by flames and turned to ashes in vain.
Antonio, who was concentrating on healing and assisting the injured, also displayed the grace of God and fired a huge cannon, but it stopped moving for a very short time and had no effect.
“Shit… Is it unstoppable?”
“Cheer up, everyone. I could!”
Volkar was like himself, but he despaired at the sight of an unreachable flame no matter what he did, while Milenya comforted everyone and had hope.
The moment the word “Give up” Was popping up in everyone’s heads, Gaon moved.
‘I have to stop it.’
Calculating all their strength together, they can handle Kaldran.
This blow now will also wipe out most people, but if you only aim for survival, you have enough talent to withstand it.
But what does that even mean?
He came to prevent destruction, not just to be comfortable with himself. If that was the case, he would have already been eating a giggle somewhere.
In the end, I had to somehow block the current blow.
Gaon whispered to his bracelet, thinking Chorin might be listening.
“Chorin, please heal me.”
There was no answer, but it will live up to expectations wonderfully.
Gaon looked at the falling sun and drew out the vitality of his whole body.
Congenital tremor.
It draws out the energy that people are born with, and although it has been greatly reduced due to previous battles, it still mixes with the energy that is full and raises its strength.
As a reaction against him, incontinence went to his bones in real time and pain surged, but he repeated that he was healed by the vitality transmitted from his bracelet.
‘You can do it.’
Gaon gently swept down the gale handed to him by Hayeon.
Ugh-
Along with the resonance, I felt a sense of unity with the weapon.
Having achieved unity, Gaon saw the wind blowing from the windspear and flowing through his entire body.
The airflow of the wind was further amplified into rubella, and he vigorously rolled his feet and shot upwards.
Kwaaang-!
With the strong gust of wind, Gaon became a huge whirlpool.
Waterspout.
It is a technique that combines all three tricks of Rannachal, and has the power to pierce the opponent’s power by drawing it in and using it against it at the same time.
At this moment, he had become a spear.
Now, due to the effect of the gale, it does not even receive air resistance. He surpassed supersonic speed in an instant.
Buildings that were half-destroyed by Kaldran’s attack collapsed due to the spreading shockwave, and all the flames that burned around him were sucked into the storm that surrounded him and became part of it.
This flame definitely belonged to Kaldran, but the moment he got caught up in the storm of Gaon, control was taken away.
‘Wind and flames go well together.’
It was a fact that I knew from the beginning, but I realized it even more deeply through the fight with Volkar.
Of course, since Kaldran learned how to perform the flame aura, his resistance to the fire element must be high, but there is a limit to that as well.
Above all, Kaldran’s flame has not reached the level of burning it yet.
It will act as a buffer and give Gaon the strength to pierce the sun of despair.
‘Pierce through.’
Every force has a central axis.
That gigantic mass of flame is also a clear function of mana. The center of that mana. If the core is pierced, it will eventually lose its shape and collapse.
Gaon found the center while feeling the breath created by the mixture of fire and wind.
‘There it is.’
It was the only black dot in the sphere of red flame. That place was the ignition point and the place where mana worked.
“Huh!”
At the moment of collision, Gaon condensed all the mana and ancestral energy and threw it through the window at once.
Phew!
Surprisingly, the start went smoothly.
His storm burrowed into the sun with ease.
Ignoring the terrible heat blazing from all sides, rather attracting them and using them as one’s own power, the appearance of advancing is like a salmon going up a river.
Gaon, who was heading towards the center of the sun, was able to reach the sunspot through an eternity of patience, although it was close to an instant.
Pajijik-!
Sparks flew as the giant whirlpool collided with sunspots. A bundle of red energy caused a backlash and created a tremendous repulsive force.
‘Not enough yet!’
Gaon drew more Seoncheon Jinki and put strength into his spear.
At the same time, indomitability was strengthened, and although it was a little, the burden was relieved.
Of course, this is only a temporary phenomenon, and after a while, you will experience a rapid decline in power.
Jiji Jijik!
Beyond the spark of energy, past the sun, Kaldran and Gaon’s gaze collided.
He couldn’t even move, as if he was using all his power to keep the sun up.
The dark red eyes that had been eaten by the shadows were filled with great anger and a kind of madness.
He bit his lip hard, and more flames spewed out from his whole body, powering the sun.
The orb of flame, which had been blown away by the storm, began to expand again.
‘It’s breathtaking.’
If only this attack is undone, their chances of victory increase greatly.
Having used up almost all of his mana, Kaldran’s combat power would plummet, and he would not be able to handle the attacks of everyone who had saved enough energy.
However, that does not reduce the sacrifice.
The evil one will try to take even one more, and if he disregards his life and attacks, the damage will be great.
Gaon didn’t want to let a single person die.
Of course, his arms are so narrow that he cannot save everyone in the world.
But, at least, I wanted to prevent the death of the precious people in front of my eyes.
Making the impossible possible.
That is what he has to do, and at the same time it is what only he can do.
Rumbling—
The size of the storm gradually decreased due to the growing heat and falling mana, and the heat was transmitted to the inside.
The whole body is burning and melting in an instant.
At least, the indomitable effect is strengthened and it maintains its shape from a certain point, but the problem is that it started to affect the bracelet that was being passed on from Chorin’s vitality.
Without the bracelet, this confrontation would be broken in an instant.
Chorin also knew that, so he put all his energy into regenerating the bracelet, and naturally, the replenishment of Seoncheonjingi slowed down and the storm of Gaon weakened.
In this case, you have two options.
One is to step back and seek the next opportunity. Of course, in this case, the sun kills almost everyone.
The other is to pour all of the energy that is exhausted into the attack by putting a strong shield on the body.
It was a game of whether his body would be consumed by the flames first, or whether the sunspot would be broken.
It was the time when Gaon had made a decision and was about to release Kang Ki-mak.
Death passed him by.
