134 – 2. Old Summoner (81)
#133
Quaaagh!!!
A wave of skin rushes in and swallows everything around it.
The clumsy teeth on the surface gnaw through roads and chew through trees. What he ate became food for him, further increasing the size of his soft body.
“Goowook…Geeek…Ah, faaa…”
However, compared to the beginning, the outburst has weakened somewhat. The body, which was huge enough to cover the sky, was reduced by being carbonized by the flames. The flesh that spreads to the side freezes and cracks.
The mysterious thing is that everything is made only of ‘fire’.
It’s so huge that it’s perfectly controlling its movements, as if it were unfounded to worry that it might cause damage to the inner part of the city.
Ban Tae-woong caught his breath and looked at the woman who was accomplishing the feat alone. Wearing red and blue flames and burning the rushing flesh, he looked like a hero taking on a natural disaster.
‘That person is the chairman of the Discipline Committee.’
Rui Shirogane from Class 3 S.
She is Toru Shirogane’s older sister in the same class, and she is a person who has clearly improved her skills compared to her existing skills, perhaps because she achieved success by taking the exam with Shinwoo.
As long as he is a cadet at her academy, it is impossible not to know about her. Even in normal times, she constantly patrols the campus, but it is because everyone was fascinated by the spectacular yet overwhelming battle that day.
In the first year, all those who handled fire tried to imitate her skills in some way, so it’s needless to say her popularity.
The figure she saw then was definitely overwhelming, but it was not as strong as the one she sees now.
‘Was he hiding his power?’
Maybe it was. But in other words, she is able to achieve such a high score even while hiding her powers.
3Rd and 1st year. Is there such a big difference in just 2 years? Ban Tae-woong let out a sigh secretly in between the rough breaths.
The mana is still intact. The damage stock of [Reverse Counter] Was also not bad.
But he was in poor physical strength because he moved a lot beyond that.
It was difficult to accumulate the damage of the [Reverse Counter] Because the moment it touched that huge body, its mouth protruded and tried to chew and swallow it.
Because of its size, even when avoiding one of its attacks, this side has to run dozens of steps.
The fatigue of mental and physical strength was no joke because it had to be moderately fit considering all of that.
In fact, there are not many cases where the accumulated damage stock was hit directly by an attack, and most of it was accumulated by the aftermath of avoiding an attack.
Tae-woong hardened his expression as he seemed to have discovered one more chronic weakness in himself that only needed to be beaten to become stronger.
Hwaaak
A bright and warm light unique to divine power surrounds her body. Minor wounds are healed, and the rapid, rough breathing gradually calms down.
“Are you okay…?”
“…Yes, thank you Narae.”
My gloomy mood has subsided somewhat with the appearance of Na-rae Shin, a girl with blue hair. Yeah, let’s just be glad that no one has died yet.
If the evacuation had not been done thanks to the words of the summoner Shinwoo had left behind in advance, the damage would have been really great.
That’s because the surroundings were completely ruins. What would he have done if there were people here?
Unstoppable screams and explosions, blood and sobs seeping through collapsed buildings, monsters shouting and the cacophony of those trembling in fear. Imagining that, Tae-woong hardened his expression again.
…I never wanted to go through such a terrible situation.
“Haa, it’s playing again.”
With Lucia’s annoyed sigh, Taewoong looked at the monster that caused the ruins of this place.
Oops, oops!!
He grew his shrunken body again by licking and swallowing the rubble of collapsed buildings and the ground around him. Regenerate immediately after eating. When it grows like that, it jumps and moves again.
At first, I thought I couldn’t find an answer, but as time passed, the time to replay decreased, probably because I got used to its simple attack pattern.
With that, I gradually gained some composure and was able to catch a clue about the strategy.
The guy is tied up in this desolate place so that he can no longer recover and repeats his attacks.
The moment his regenerative power can’t keep up is the moment he dies.
Having hope for that, we continued the long-term battle.
“Still, I am showing signs of improvement.”
Regenerative power decreased noticeably. Perhaps it was because she had been forcibly restored, her body’s hardness had become softer than before.
As soon as the attack began to work in earnest, the moment I saw that the regeneration slowed down and the size gradually decreased, I could see that he was getting nervous.
Let’s just go like this. He does his own thing
Since it is not possible to fully tank against such a huge guy, Taewoong chose to focus on his weak points and divert his nerves to other places other than Shirogane-senpai.
“Rose. What is this weakness?”
“Wait a minute.”
What was adopted for him was the power of Mi Cheon.
Her job [Borderline Assassin] Has the power to clearly divide the boundary line between the vulnerable and non-vulnerable parts of the target.
Perhaps it is a side effect of this power that can make even vaguely weak parts into definite weaknesses, she has an ‘eye’ that can identify the weak points of the target.
In addition, there is a job-specific skill, [Dead Murder], Which can temporarily grant the power of a job by transferring magical power, so you can empower others other than yourself.
However, it is not omnipotent as much as it is fraudulent power.
In order to use a job-specific skill, you must first contact the target to receive the ability while putting the target to display the weakness into your field of vision.
Furthermore, it is not an exaggeration to say that all powers related to the [Borderline Assassin] Become unusable because the power to draw a boundary line becomes unusable for a while when the skill is used.
It’s not that his basic physical abilities are low or anything like that, so he can fight, but it’s clear that he won’t be able to display his usual skills.
The change in the period is proportional to the strength of the target that displayed the weakness.
The stronger the opponent, the longer the duration, and the weaker, the shorter.
I heard that when she killed the warlock who raided the academy the other day, she suffered a lot because she couldn’t use her ability for a long time after using this power.
“…Now the mouth, located 2 steps behind the left front leg, is the weakest. And if you accumulate damage on her right hind leg, I think you can make it a weak point.”
I can’t use [Recess Murder] Now as it’s going to be a long battle. That’s why she had to go through the hassle of listening to her weaknesses directly and attacking them in this way.
“Okay. I’ll go to the left with Lili and get the enemy’s attention first. Lucia, Jangmi, and Erica turn right and ask for damage accumulation.”
“Yes.”
“Okay.”
Narae and Sera are waiting apart. If she, the only healer in this position, accidentally gets injured, her fighting power will decrease.
There are summoned beasts left behind by Shinwoo and the help of the people of the Shirogane family, so even if there is a hole somewhere, you can help right away.
Let’s just go like this. That’s what I was thinking while I was moving.
Flash!
Taeung felt a chilling sensation at the ominous flash of color that shone on the other side.
Then, following his instincts, he attacked the monster, rushed in front of Shirogane-senpai’s mother, who had been thrown into the air, and swung the sword right away.
Beep beep—–!!!
From noble mtl dot com
At the same time, a strong current of magical power cut through. His arms tremble, his muscles tear, and pain rises. The blood vessels that were prominent due to excessive force burst and the skin was dyed red.
“Keuuugh…!!!”
Kigik, kagagagak!!
The blade of the sword that had taken care of me until now began to creak and let out an ominous scream. Even though it was only overlaid with magic, it was visible that fatigue was gradually accumulating.
I just keep getting pushed out like this. However, it is unreasonable to cut too much. The fatigue that had already accumulated on the sword was considerable. If you force it here, it will break as it is. His intuition as a prosecutor did.
I didn’t even bring a spare sword because I was going to buy a new sword today and ask for this sword to be repaired.
If this is broken, the means of attack will be reduced.
‘I have to bounce it off..!’
Gathered magic. However, he lacked the strength to support him, perhaps because he was suspended in the air. The pushing force on the other side is stronger. At least if you can do something…
Kugureuk!!
Something hard touched his feet as if his own prayers had reached him. Lili, who understood the situation, immediately raised the soil and made a foothold.
Thump!
Immediately straightened his posture and stomped his foot.
My mother’s side understood the situation and walked away from me. Since her attack was clearly aimed at her, it seems that she judged that her power would weaken if she distanced herself from herself.
Actually, that number was useful. The flow of mana, which seemed to crush Tae-woong at any moment, shook and weakened in an instant.
Taewoong, who did not miss the opportunity, gave strength to his lower body and then twisted the sword’s trajectory.
Magic power is supported widely and firmly close to the shield rather than the shape of the blade. In that state, he twisted his body.
Suaaa!!!
Sparks sparked, sparks caused by magic and magic’s repulsion flew like crazy. However, he succeeded safely in letting go of the attack.
The rest is the direction of this force.
With some consideration, I decided to shoot it into the sky. As he shoots to the ground, the dust that rises obstructs his vision.
It is dangerous to link it halfway to the enemy, as it can confuse the allies, and it can lead to misfires if not done well. So what naturally remained was the sky.
“Wow!!!”
Heavy magical power is released in an attempt to attack. At the same time, he left his seat and left, and the magic that completely lost its target exploded into the air and scattered the energy of magic in all directions.
“Whoa!”
Exhaling briefly, Tae-woong frowned and glared at the culprit of the attack. A man in a flashy suit that would appear in a high-end club. It was Hisame Yashiro who was responsible for releasing this monster.
“Kick, Kiki… It’s a pity. I couldn’t kill him.”
The only strange thing was that there was blood on his body and furthermore, his complexion was very pale. His hair, which he might have had at first, is now scattered.
Have you been fighting a battle somewhere?
I had to frown at his self-confident smile and the black emotion that resided inside.
“Hisame Yashiro…!!”
“As a result of identification, Hisame Yashiro is correct.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Hanabi Shirogane’s anger and Comet’s remarks, which had even abandoned honorifics. It was not a good look at all.
Because he is the one who created this division. Hisame Yashiro, who was happy to receive such a hostile gaze on her body, lifted the thing in her arms into the air and let out her madness.
“Keukikikick…! Jerk the!! Did you think I would just run away?! The reason I wasted my time was to find this!!”
While saying that, what he showed was an old gourd. A yellow bandage and a red thread to seal something were tightly wrapped around the grotesquely shaped gourd, which could be seen even at a glance.
“…Mom, what is that?”
“I don’t know either. I saw it frozen the other day when I was cleaning out the storage room… But it must have been in the storage room of the Shirogane family for a long time.”
“That man knows what it is and wants to use it. Is this?”
Hanabi Shirogane made an ambiguous expression at Taewoong’s words and nodded her head.
“Yes, seeing that man appearing proudly like that, there is a high probability that the item has something to do with Yashiro’s level.”
“Unpaid?”
“Yes, all of them are sealed scrolls with goddamn spells that give away a dog’s humanity. I heard that there is a forbidden technique that no one except Dangju is allowed to read or even touch.”
“So, you mean you came with a lot of determination?”
At Hanabi Shirogane’s words, Rui Shirogane’s temper became even more brutal.
“Ah… I was going to proceed quietly because if this story goes to the ears of the other guys, I’ll be checked and bothered, but… There’s no point in doing that since it’s already in my hands.”
Having said that, Hisame Yashiro slowly raised her hand and took out her amulet. Up to that point, I hadn’t felt anything.
Just when I was wondering if that was something I could get my hands on even saying that, the two overlapped.
“I… Become complete!!!”
Thumping!
The sound of my heart pounding came strangely loud.
Tak, Tak!
At that moment, the vial began to crack. A bright, sparkling light seeped through the gold, but as the gold grew larger, the light gradually darkened and became black.
When two things that were nothing were added together, change began. Everyone was vigilant and prepared for the sudden change, and watched so that they could attack at any moment.
“Ugh?!”
“…Danger!!”
The first to notice the abnormality were those who used magic. Among them, Lili manipulated the ground with magic and pushed everyone back, and Ookuchi, who aimed for the gap, moved.
“Gooooo!!!!”
“hahahaha!!! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!”
The monster moved, aiming for it, but Hisame Yashiro laughed madly at the cracking vial as if he didn’t care about the monster’s appearance.
I began to feel an overwhelming amount of magical power from him that other people could notice.
His body came to life in real time and began to glow brilliantly. It was the same as before the change.
“That idiot…!”
But the monster arrived first before him. Rui Shirogane tried to move, but Hanabi Shirogane stopped it.
“It is too late.”
Awesome!!
“…Ah?”
Okuchi, who had come close to me and opened his mouth wide, and Hisame Yashiro, who had finally grasped her appearance, intersected with mesmerized voices.
Tup!!!
My mouth was closed.
