206 – Main Villain (5)
“Whew.”
After confirming that the magic circle had stopped moving, I corrected my posture.
My body was a little sore, but the results weren’t that bad.
More than anything, the cats in the magic circle seemed safe. Where is Danya among them? It was not easy to check because everyone was lying down.
In the end, Evan’s purpose is to activate this magic circle. For him, a magician, it must have been an internal injury to have the magic circle that was in preparation for operation being forcibly canceled.
Even if it is not the highest score that can be achieved with this single blow, it is still a high score.
His frowning expression proves that fact.
“You damn kid.”
— Pusssssuk!
The dust rising behind him.
The magic circle blinking in red adds to the atmosphere.
He raises his hand.
— Quaaang!
I reflexively raised my shield to block, but when I came to my senses, I was flying backwards.

Heavy energy felt in the arms.
A wolf-shaped shadow was pushing me with the force of crushing it.
Transform Lunar into a spear shape and insert it into it.
Passsssut!
A shape that becomes black fog and disperses.
“What should I do with my shadow…?”
Even though he was slightly embarrassed, he regained his stance. The composure that comes from the experience of an executive at Shaleam Bridge. But I didn’t miss the opportunity.
When dealing with someone that strong, every breath is important. Although it is said that the magic circle was destroyed and suffered damage, it is of Shaleam Bridge 5 status. This means that there is no comparison with Richard, whose Danjeon was destroyed before.
You have to give your all whenever you have the upper hand, even for a moment.
Paaat!
Immediately magnetize the ground and leap towards the guy.
The moment when space becomes closer as if folding.
“…!”
The distance has been narrowed by about half.
The moment he took his stance, expecting to headbutt his body, I strengthened his arm and swung it.
In the middle of the leap, another leap is added and the spear is fired at the speed of light.
— Push!
Blood spurts from his shoulder with an impact sound.
“Ugh!”
Glurung!
Evan enters the shadow pool.
It was a few steps later that he popped out.
This means it was within my expected range.
Staying the same path, I swung my shield at him.
— Quaaang!
This time it was a direct attack.
Evan’s new model was pushed back roughly.
‘It’s an opportunity.’
Two successful strikes in succession.
I had a gut feeling that an opportunity like this would never come again. I charged forward and picked up Lunar, who had fallen to the ground.
This is the first Lunar Gauntlet mode I’ve used in a while.
Even if I sharpen it, it will be blocked by the blood stain.
I stuck it right in his face.
— Whoa whoa!
A heavy shock is transmitted through the fist.
Evan’s head turns roughly.
‘That’s it.’
It shook my brain greatly.
I wouldn’t even have the presence of mind to properly defend myself right now.
I immediately transformed Lunar into a sharp point and prepared to stab it at the guy.
The moment when the follow-up blow was delivered once again.
—
Runar, which had been transformed into a spear, was captured as is.
No.
Should I say I feel stuck somewhere?
A pitch-black shadow enveloped not only Lunar but also my arm.
“Up to there.”
The moment Evan opens his mouth like that.
I got goosebumps all over my body.
I gave up on Lunar and quickly widened the distance.
— Kwakang!
A huge shadow mouth rising from where I was.
It greedily swallowed the fragments of the ground and disappeared into the darkness again.
“You were quick to notice earlier.”
“…….”
“Do you have the sense to feel a shadow?”
I don’t know why I feel this way either.
Before Evan’s attack, something like a strange intuition enveloped me.
‘… Could it be because of power?’
The black energy tangled in that shadow is clearly contrary to the sanctity of power. If this is an effect of power, we can say that we have at least one hopeful way to confront Evan.
Roughly overturned stone floor.
We kept our distance and stared at each other.
Evan opened his mouth.
“Well, you can’t say it that easily. Ever since the higher-ups took interest in you, I thought there was something there.”
“The superiors?”
“You don’t need to know that. You’ll see it anyway if I catch you here.”
“Do you think I will be easily captured?”
“Hmm, definitely.”
Jeobbuk.
He took a step forward with his foot.
“He uses a variety of attacks. He doesn’t look like a wizard. He seems closer to us than that. I think I understand why he’s so interested in it, whether it’s a blood girl or a religious leader…”
“Well, I don’t really want to have anything to do with mosquitoes like you.”
Mosquito.
Evan frowned at the derogatory term used to refer to the Shale Church.
A fleeting moment of time.
A tremendous sense of crisis felt in an instant.
— Quaaang!
The guy’s barrage of attacks poured out.
It was an attack so intense and flawless that it could not be blocked just by feeling it.
Dozens of shadows pour down like endless fists.
The important part is the berserker’s shield.
The other parts are Lunar and Ether.
— Kwakang! Pow!
Numerous collision sounds erupted among them.
Numerous magics are cast even between strikes.
When Evan shoots out a bunch of shadows, he somehow manages to shed them with his shield. Without missing the floor that was broken by the wrong magic, I used ‘Leap’ again and shot it at Evan.
Of course, Evan simply adjusts his coat here and there to easily block his attacks, but his attacks are weakening in the meantime.
Use this as a chance to breathe, reorganize your form, and prepare to block the next fatal wound.
Numerous wounds etched all over the body.
I desperately feel that if I don’t maintain extreme concentration, I will end up right here.
This is an overwhelming opponent.
But at the same time, an overwhelming feeling arises.
The fact that we can hold out even a little bit against such an overwhelming guy.
Should I say this is the joy of growing up?
Or is it self-help for a situation where there is no hope or dream to overcome?
Even as I was being beaten, I couldn’t hide the way the corners of my mouth kept turning up.
I am happy with this situation right now.
In this process of analyzing and calculating the opponent’s attacks without any time to breathe, and blocking them just to survive, I myself grow rapidly.
It is the sharpness of the path and the occasional artistic curves.
The attack launched by the 5th ranked member of Shaleam Bridge is truly beautiful.
— Crackle!
What can I say about the shadow that seems to wander far away, but then comes back and strangles me…? ….
It was so insidious that when I noticed it, I laughed with goosebumps and tilted my neck to barely avoid it.
“hehehe!”
“You crazy bastard!”
I don’t know why that side gets scratched more…
‘This is a technique and therefore magic.’
Each of those paths are entered into your head and bring about some kind of enlightenment.
This is it.
It feels like finding a circuit in magic, like the sword path of the teacher’s folktale sword technique.
My origin is the earth.
Water, fire, grass… ….
Unlike other elements, this is an element that all humans must step on.
You can’t escape the ground unless you’re falling from the sky.
— Whoa whoa!
I focus on that realization even when the shadow of the guy I couldn’t stop is turning my face harshly.
Earth.
What is soil?
Everything starts from soil and returns to soil.
— Pababababat!
A wisp of dirt came out from the ground through the shadows.
“…?”
Evan is making a bewildered expression at the thin, fountain-like earthen pillar.
— Sara la la rock!
The dirt fell to the other side in a semicircle around Evan.
A line of earth that precisely cuts the wave of shadow in half.
The moment it completes a semicircle.
— Sigh!
Numerous sand strands surround the surface of the semicircle, as if capillaries are forming.
“…!”
Before Evan took any action.
The stems of the earth rising in the shape of snowflakes precisely bind him.
In an instant, all of Evan’s techniques stopped.
He seemed to be contemplating his condition with his eyes wide open.
He slowly opens his mouth.
“You little boy.”
“…….”
“Have all the paths to the magic method been blocked with dirt?”
I couldn’t help but nod.
He got hit by the shadow earlier and his neck couldn’t bend. Is this a good thing?
While thinking that, I converted Lunar.
No. I didn’t really care about Lunar.
The land feels closer than ever.
I vividly realized what elements I needed from the earth.
The feeling as if the land and I have become one.
I just bring up the elements I need right now.
Of course, it is a gauntlet after all.
One way or another, I feel like swinging my fist is an unstoppable fate.
— Kwaaa!
I took it and stuck it in.
There is no need to think about the future.
Even if your fist gets crushed, you take the opportunity.
— Udduk!
Evan’s neck was bent at exactly the right angle.
Just like this, slam your fist straight down and kill the guy.
The moment I grabbed both of his hands and tried to hit him like a hammer.
— Sting!
I felt unprecedented goosebumps behind my back.
I tried to turn my body and block the back of my head.
— Crackle!
Something sinister. A truly ominous sound was heard.
It was after that that I felt a sharp pain in my hand.
Belatedly, vision grasps the situation.
My hand held in the shadow.
Another Evan standing there.
“I thought there was something strange. I left out the shadow a little.”
— Passsssut!
The body originally thought to be him collapses into black and disappears.
And the shadow holding my hand grins.
“He’s such an interesting guy in many ways.”
— Crackle!
The crushing sound is heard once again.
It was the sound of my fist being crushed.
oh my, this guy is so strong!!
