Chapter 248 – Episode 27. That Incident.
Of course, I couldn’t fly like those two, so the only way was to kick the wall and shoot straight at Famine like a slingshot.
If I raised my telekinesis level further, I would be able to use telekinesis to make my body float, but these days, I was focusing on shadow control and Shinkaiyatsude training, so I neglected telekinesis training, so I couldn’t fly.
“Bout!”
Shinkai Yatsude (深海八手) Harookanfure (波浪貫触: Blue Kwanchok)
I stretch out my fist, pulling up the abyss. Famine, who is in the middle of a fight with Aitana, notices my attack and creates gray smoke like a shield to block it.
Rumble!
When my fist collided with the gray smoke of famine, it sounded like thunder and a huge shock wave hit me.
The Abyss Lord’s battle equipment, which the Daughter of the Abyss gave him in return for his tribute, was quite impressive. Thanks to the various options, my physical abilities and the power of the abyss became stronger, and in addition, I was able to handle the abyss more smoothly with the knowledge I gained from sucking the statue’s nipples.
So the power of my fist was considerable, and as a result, a huge shock wave that hit the famine was reaching the surrounding area.
“Aaaaah!”
I was caught in the shock wave and fell to the ground, and the people in the audience affected by the shock wave also fell. Still, it seemed like no one was dead, just knocked down by the shock wave as they collided in the air and were some distance away.
“I don’t know who it is, but thank you.”
Aitana, who escaped the crisis thanks to me, shouted at me and then rushed at Famine again. Although Aitana’s golden energy dispersed the gray smoke of her famine, she could not completely destroy it.
I had just clashed with Famine and could vaguely sense the identity of the gray smoke that Famine was using. Like my abyss, the gray smoke of famine seemed to be a force associated with some cosmic entity.
I felt that the gray smoke used by Famine had the same power as the abyss I used. It was full of malice and disgusting energy, and it was by no means the power of a transcendent being that was kind to humans. It was a force full of malice.
“Hmm!”
I sent the abyss as much as possible to my thighs and calves, strengthened the muscles, bent my knees, and bounced back up. It’s quite annoying because the opponent flies in the sky. Because I can only do jump attacks.
“What a flea!”
When I jumped up and punched again, Famine seemed to be annoyed and summoned the gray smoke it used to fight Aitana, blocked my fist, gathered up the defensive smoke, and shot it at me. My body, which had already thrown one or two punches and was in free fall, could not avoid the puff of smoke from the famine.
Still, I was able to use my maximum telekinesis and move my body a little to the side.
Quaat!
A wad of smoke passed by, clawing at my shoulder. Because the armor defense of Abyss’s combat equipment was considerable, it was not destroyed, but the aftermath of the impact caused damage to my body inside.
Sigh! The pain was considerable. It felt like my muscles were torn and my bones were cracked. I thought I would be able to recover with my regenerative properties in a little while, so I thought about making my next attack right away.
If I hadn’t used telekinesis to move my body a little, I would have been hit in the abdomen and my internal organs would have been burned and I would have been unable to fight for a while until they regenerated.
I rolled my sore right shoulder and jumped up again. This time, I assisted with telekinesis and used Shadow Control to bounce me into the shadows beneath my feet, approaching Famine at a speed that was completely different from my previous jump.
Shinkaiyatsude (深海八手) Manshikaisshoku (10,000 branches become one tentacle.)
I gathered the energy of the abyss into one point and punched out using Manshikai Isshoku, which has the most destructive power among the techniques I can use. Famine seemed to find it quite annoying to pay attention to me while continuing to fight with Aitana, so she glanced at me and frowned.
However, as if feeling the abyss filled in my fist, Famine’s eyes widened and it quickly gathered gray smoke to block it.
I was late because I tried to do something urgently. My fist pierced Famine’s defenses for the first time. My fist struck Famine’s side, destroying the gray smoke that defended it.
Thud!
“Kaaaaa!!”
Famine screamed with large holes in its sides and abdomen as if it were being disintegrated by the energy of the abyss that had gathered in its hands. As if not wanting to miss the opportunity, Aitana rushed in and began striking Gageun with golden energy. I was falling again so I couldn’t hit the follow-up hit, but Aitana seemed to do the trick.
“Ugh! Pfft!”
It’s really spicy at first glance. His striking skills were so extraordinary that it seemed as if he had learned the art of fighting properly somewhere.
“Kaaaaa! “I won’t let you go!!!”
After being beaten for a long time, Famine screamed loudly and threw Aitana away. The gray smoke went straight into the gaping hole in the side and repaired the wounds of the famine. Then, it flew into the stands that were in spectator mode at incredible speed, covering a third of the stands with gray smoke.
“Off!”
“Huh!”
With countless cries of pain, famine consumed the vitality of nearly 20,000 spectators. This was the difficulty in dealing with famine. Even when injured, it recovers with gray smoke, and if there are people around, it absorbs their life force and strengthens its power again.
Therefore, in order to deal with famine, it was necessary to fight in a place with no people around as much as possible while continuously inflicting wounds and consuming the gray smoke. Equal mobility that can keep up with the mobility of a flying famine is a basic condition.
“Unbelievable… !”
Aitana muttered as if she was dazed when she saw that 20,000 people had died in an instant. The audience was in even more confusion than Aitana. Even if they tried to run away, it was impossible because all exits were already blocked by the gray smoke spread by the famine.
Perhaps because of the fact that they had to remain silent and prey to famine, many people continued to scream, faint, or go crazy unable to accept the unusual situation.
Fighting famine here was suicidal. The stadium was still full of spectators who could use Famine as a potion(?), And I, who could deal decent damage, had to keep jumping up and down to deal with Famine in the air. Aitana was just enough to withstand famine and fighting, but not enough to defeat it.
I glanced at one side of the stadium and saw soccer players, including Kazuhiro, sitting crowded on the bench. As it was floating in the air, the players in the stadium were at the farthest distance, so it was safer.
“Aaaaah!”
I only glanced at the bench for a moment, but in the meantime, Aitana was being pushed back due to famine.
It can’t go on like this. If we continued to fight like frogs and famines, jumping around like fleas, there was no chance of winning. After thinking of a trick, I ran back to Famine.
Shinkaiyatsude (深海八手) Isshokukamanshi (One tentacle becomes ten thousand branches.)
In contrast to Manshikai Ishoku, it was a technique that split a large amount of energy and colored the surrounding area into an abyss or attacked several people at once. Although Famine was on alert due to the previous blow, it was unable to stop the numerous abyss that split into thousands.
Shinkaiyatsude (深海八手) Senharikakekushi (Thousand Needle Skewers)
Senharikakekushi was a plant food I had just created that was linked to Isshokukamanshi. An herbivore called Kakekushi (Shadow Skewers) in Shinkaiyatsude was transformed into thousands of skewers by using the energy of the abyss to split it into thousands of pieces.
“Ugh!”
Famine blocked most of the shadow skewers, but even if she blocked countless shadow skewers, they were already lodged in various parts of her body. The skewers were connected by a black shadow thread.
I, who was in free fall again due to gravity, smiled and pulled the shadow thread. Famine, which had been pierced by the skewer connected to the shadow, began to fall to the ground along with me.
Thud! Thud!
Both Gyeong and I landed on the ground and rushed at each other at the same time without worrying about who went first.
Because they were connected to each other by shadows, the fighting style became one in which they did not avoid each other’s punches and kicks, but instead hit them and returned them immediately.
My attack penetrated Famine’s gray smoke and directly damaged my body, and Famine’s attack also shattered my armor and left scars on my body.
Famine continued to fight, recovering his body with gray smoke, and I also continued to fight, recovering with armor that heals damaged areas when injected with regenerative properties and abyss.
Aitana was helping me by flying like a falcon hunting and continuously clawing at the famine with her golden energy.
As they continued to recover and fight, the battle naturally became sluggish, but perhaps thinking that they could not waste any more time, Famine gathered up as much gray smoke as possible and threw it away like a cannonball. Of course, since I was at a short distance, I had no choice but to be hit by a lump of smoke.
There was no popping sound or anything when it hit me. The gray smoke suddenly expanded and enveloped me. Although it was protected by armor, gray smoke flowed in through broken parts here and there. Even though it only slightly touched my bare body, I could feel my vitality speeding up.
I wrapped myself around the abyss as much as I could to protect myself from being robbed of my life force by the power of famine. Naturally, the shadow skewers that were all over Famine’s body became weaker. Famine pulled out all his skewers while I was on the defensive and took to the sky again.
“That’s enough for today.”
After saying those words, Famine flew over and covered a part of the audience with gray smoke, then left the stadium and disappeared. About 5,000 more people must have died just because of that. It was a scary ability that was extremely strong against the weak. I think it would take quite some time for me to kill 5,000 people. I looked around. Aitana slowly descended and approached me, but I ran quickly.
There was only one reason for the famine to escape. It meant that it was time for the super-powered army secretly maintained by the United States to arrive. Since Famine is still in its early stage of appearance, it is likely that it cannot defeat the super-powered army yet, so it ran away. I had to leave immediately because I could get caught and become a test subject or be forced to join the army of super-powered beings.
“Uh, where are you going? “You are a hero!”
“Would you like to run away too?”
According to the game story, Aitana didn’t become a soldier because she liked it after this incident. As you can see, she founded an association for psychics right after she was discharged from the military.
Aitana probably didn’t understand what I was saying, but gave up chasing me and started flying around the stadium, taking care of the injured people. One person is good. He has a good body…
I jumped off the field with great physical strength. To break off the chase, I wandered through alleys and unlocked the armor in a deserted place. I felt a little empty because the abyss and increased physical ability that the armor gave me were gone, but there was still a refreshing feeling of taking off the stuffy armor.
After removing my armor, I immediately went out to the side of the road and caught a taxi.
“Where can I take you?”
“I’ll give you double, so please go to the Malibu beach residential area.”
Since it was far away, I was afraid the taxi driver would refuse to take me, so I told him I would pay twice as much and got into the taxi.
