Episode 103
‘… I don’t know what I’m looking at.’
Jang Han-soo, a second-class exorcist, who can actually be said to be the second member of Yoo Tae-jin’s party, only laughed out loud at the battle between Han Kang-yoon and Manticore that had finally begun.
When I glanced at the side in amazement, the reactions of the other colleagues were no different. In particular, Mikel was staring at it as if possessed with his eyes wide open.
‘If you watch a fight like that in front of your eyes, it’s worth it.’
In fact, with the exception of Yoo Tae-jin, Jang Han-soo and Choi Tae-gil, who can be said to be the center of the group. The difference in power was not that great,
However, if the two were to compete, the victory was always Hansoo Jang.
For Jang Han-soo, it was because he had experience of living and dying with countless criminals while acting as an executive officer at the headquarters.
And I was able to feel it more deeply as long as I was such a long Hansoo.
What Han Kang-yoon is doing right now, how absurd it is.
Koo!
Aww!
blah blah!

Manticore, full of anger, rushed and attacked in succession, but Han Kang-yoon avoided all of them with the help of her flexible body movements and timely deployment of magic.But the horses were avoiding it, and it was a breathtaking and shaky sight that could be said to have just passed by.
‘… It is as if the opponent’s attack had been re-measured with a ruler. Are you saying that was all the intended result?’
If I put myself or Choi Tae-gil in the place right now, would I be able to do even one-third of Han Kang-yoon’s work?
No, probably never.
Rather than a third, it would be nice if I could last even a third of it against him.
‘… … .’
From a certain moment, Jang Han-soo felt goosebumps rising all over his body.
I’ve met some really tall and tall people in my career as a bailiff, but I’ve certainly never seen anything like this level of skill anywhere else.
At the time of planning the operation, he said that he would come forward with such confidence.
Nettle juice!
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Han Kang-yoon, who escaped the tail swung by the Manticore at an invisible speed, grabbed it with a restraint technique and retreated from his seat once.
Jang Han-soo, who did not miss it, exclaimed.
“now!”
Whoops.
Nettle juice!
Aww!
quagga!
At the signal, everyone’s attack spells hit the Manticore directly, and the Manticore let out a painful scream and took a few steps back.
I’ve already hit multiple hits like this. Clearly, Manticore’s body had visibly increased wounds.

Manticore, who raised his eyes viciously, tries to run towards this side, but Han Kang-yoon, who has narrowed the distance again, attacks with a shikigami and interrupts it.In fact, from the standpoint of Manticore, it would be like going crazy.
‘… It seems like you’re literally attacking without a gap.’
A fight to destroy the opponent so thoroughly is rare even within the exorcism headquarters organization that has been working together for a long time.
However, now I had to do it anyway. Because there are so many things at stake in this one fight.
Their 7 years of years, civilians who are now close to the limit, and the wishes of their colleagues who have lost their lives were all here.
‘Please hold on a little longer.’
If you make even one mistake, it’s over. I can’t even imagine the pressure. Even Jang Han-soo, who was watching, was trembling from the tension, but Han Kang-yoon’s expression was always calm.
No, it seemed that he was deliberately controlling his breathing as much as possible for a long battle.
‘… It sounds like crazy, but if it was that guy, I think it would be true for some reason.’
The Manticore is an absurd level of monster. However, Kang-yoon Han was also like that in a sense.
Even if the mind was made of steel, it would not be possible to conduct such a precise battle under extreme pressure.
Therefore, it is safe to say that Kang-yoon Han’s concentration has already gone beyond the realm of human beings.
If it is Han Kang-yoon and no one else, it is possible. In the end, Jang Han-soo came to that conclusion and prepared to attack again.
At the very least, at least to take down the opponent as quickly as possible to lighten the burden.

Manticore was very strong. To be honest, I thought he was the strongest of all the enemies I had met so far, except for Hecktail.In particular, the strong physical ability to survive and regenerate no matter how much attack was really bothering me.
‘Definitely the strongest class in this Black Forest.’
However, in a way, the Manticore did not match well with the Hecktail.
Perhaps it was also vaguely felt by the Manticore who was dealing with me.
‘I expected it, but I can really read all the movements.’
Well, considering how many times I have reviewed Manticore’s attack pattern and its motion, it may be natural.
Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s easy.
Basically, he had a much higher spec than me, so I always had to read his actions in advance and move, and if I made a mistake, my life would be at risk right now.
Besides, Yoo Tae-jin and his party are doing damage with all their power from behind, but I can’t effectively deal damage to the Manticore.
However.
‘Somehow, I don’t think I’m going to lose at all.’
I thought maybe it was because of his mood, but as expected, Han Kang-yoon’s body was sharper in battle than I thought.
If this is also a kind of talent, then it would be a talent.
In addition, Manticore is a creature artificially created by a witch’s hand from the ground up, and of course, the method involved gold magic.
Therefore, Manticore’s attack was also unexpectedly blocked depending on the type.
Aww!
[Whoa!]
‘… It’s sad to see something like this. Still, I made it.’
Now, for some reason, Manticore had lost the confidence of the strong man from his eyes.
No, maybe it’s because I’m afraid of not allowing even a single attack of those countless attacks.
[Kooh… … .]
Perhaps that feeling was not an illusion, Manticore’s attack gradually weakened and began to slow down.
When that happened, the battle only changed to a more one-sided form.
And in the end.
[Kouruk.]
kuung.

Manticore’s pupils, which were bleeding profusely, clouded, then lost their balance and fell to the cold ground.The battle that lasted over an hour, he could not endure it and did his best.
‘Is it over?’
Wiping the sweat from my forehead, I opened the distance and waited for the group to approach.
Han Seo-ah, who approached me first, looked over my wounds and handed me the drinking water I was carrying.
“it’s okay? Have you been hurt anywhere?”
“… don’t worry. Because none of it was right.”
Frankly, from the last minute, Manticore had barely managed to replenish the poison and mercilessly sprayed it, causing a crisis.
However, fortunately, the game was decided before I lost concentration.
After confirming that Manticore was dead, Choi Tae-gil approached me and grabbed my shoulder.
“Are you this bird X, are you in good health?”
“Yes. A little tired, but okay.”
“… For being such a monster, I apologize for calling you San-nim. You are a great guy.”
Tae-gil Choi seemed to have been shocked by the battle a while ago.
However, to be honest, I didn’t think I did such a great job because I was dealing with an enemy I had already seen.
First of all, it’s not over yet.
“Hurry up. We must retrieve the key that will lead us to the next arena of testing.”
So, we moved forward without a break.
The place we immediately arrived at was a place where there were mysterious statues that Yoo Tae-jin and his party named the altar.
“Yeah, you mean you can get the key here after you get it?”
“Certainly, it was written that way in the book. Oh, I guess I know this.”
Tae-jin Yoo, walking through the statues that resembled the Manticore, drew a line from the end of the horns on his head and began to dig the point where the three lines intersect.
“In a society of witches, straight horns symbolize unchanging truth. Maybe there is something here.”
It was definitely correct. As it was last time, it seems that you really have quite a bit of knowledge about witches.
When the ground was dug up like that, a mysterious tombstone appeared there.
Since the area boss, Manticore, had already been defeated, the tombstone was emitting its own light.
“… leader. I think I can hear this.”
As Da-in Choi spoke, Mikel, the strongest, stood up and lifted the tombstone.
What came out of it, as I knew it, was a small jewel.
‘One saved.’
What was left was another gem that could be obtained through a similar process after killing the Seven Gaksa.
‘I purposely sent a black swan to the altar there in advance.’
No news as of yet. Since he accurately calculated the time and started to act, it was clear that the Seven Stars must have met Xiao Chen by now.
‘… Xiao Chen is not the type to ignore such challenges.’
She was basically a hedonist who pursued all kinds of interests, so there was no way she could get past the mighty Yoma of Heptagonism.
Perhaps my thoughts were wrong, and soon a response came from the black swan, who was sharing the view. Xiao Chen had defeated the Seven Gak Temple.
‘done.’
Since the condition had been fulfilled, I quickly ordered that the jewels over there be taken and summoned the Black Swan.
So, finally, both gems were gathered in our hands.
“From now on, we have to move quickly. Woo Ki-bum and his party must have noticed that something was changing.”
“Okay, so now we have to go to the test coffin, right?”
In fact, the huge structure in the deepest part of the Black Forest that Yoo Tae-jin and his party had discovered and carefully searched was like a kind of testing ground to obtain a full-fledged qualification.
Now that you have captured the area bosses and solved the puzzle, you can use two jewels to get into it.
“… It seems that the road is now in sight.”
The group clenched their fists and seemed to be determined in their hearts to escape from this place.
Seeing that, I, too, took a deep breath to calm myself down.
‘I’m sure they’ll notice it and approach it.’
Although she hadn’t expressed it until now, the whole area was already under her supervision anyway.
If you look closely, you can see that her search barriers are everywhere.
Xiao Chen, a member of the night school and a special barrier, will surely follow us to the Trial Coffin.
But she won’t know.
‘Come if you want.’
That the very coffin of testing will be her grave.
