Episode 142
I first checked the information of the 16 people on the arena using the emotion function.
‘About level 41 to level 48 sign.’
The hooded male who belonged to somewhere in the enemy team had the highest level, followed by Sofia, who was at level 45.
I was still only at level 42, so I could actually see that I was below the midpoint.
‘All but two or three are similar.’
As a result of carefully checking the characteristics, Choi Chang-il, a man with two hoods, was stronger than expected, not to mention Sophia.
He, too, has surpassed the level of any level 3 exorcist. It was clear that it was probably one of the best skills in this jockey.
“What should I do?”

Min-woo Heo, a level 44 young man who participated in the same group as me, asked me a lot of questions, so I decided the situation and gave the answer right away.“As soon as the match starts, you have to develop your defensive skills as best you can.”
“Yes?”
Beep!
As soon as the signal for the start of the match rang without any time for questioning, I immediately started deploying the Wall of Heaven, an intermediate-level defense technique.
And less than 10 seconds after the ceremony was completed, Sophia, who was seated in the center of the stadium, fired a powerful high-level operation targeting everyone except her teammates.
“The Palgong Seon Ha Mangju (汃攻旋荷罔駐).”
A general-purpose advanced technique that binds enemies by impacting them with waves of spiritual power.
But its power was never unusual.
👌👌👌👌👌👌
Wedge lover!
“Wow!”
“Huh!”
“Ahhh-!”
Those who didn’t get the timing right, and those who hurriedly performed defense techniques, could not fairly overcome the waves of spiritual power and were thrown out of the arena.

My teammate Heo Min-woo was no different, and a total of twelve people were out in this match by the technique a while ago.All that was left was Sophia, Sophia’s assistant, and the two men and me.
‘… Have you improved your skills this much?’
In the meantime, we used to roughly anticipate the training together, but it is a real difference from when we faced the same ritual in Yeongwol-do.
Both the speed and power of the operation’s development exceeded our expectations for a long time.
‘It would have been difficult to block it if it had been an attack technique rather than a restraint technique.’
In order not to lose without a pulse, we have to raise the tension even more.
The promise to fight the battle was a promise, but I had a clear goal of setting a comprehensive record in this qualification test and raising the value of my name.
“Ugh. Can you take care of the man over there, Mr. Jung? I have something to do here.”
“Ah yes. Yep. I will.”
The young man, who was Sophia’s assistant, showed a hardened reaction as if he could not easily accept the scene that had just happened, and then moved to confront Choi Chang-il, a man in the hood.
To be honest, Sophia must know that she can’t fight Choi Chang-il over there, but she seems to have no choice but to get rid of all the hindrances and fight with me.
In fact, Sophia did her part by wiping out the rest of the group, so there’s nothing to complain about.
Sophia, who glanced at the two who started to face each other from a distance, then smiled brightly and met my gaze.
“don’t worry. Soon there will be only the two of us left.”
“… Is it okay to do this in the qualification exam?”
“yes. There’s no rule that says you have to deal with it, so there’s no problem, right?”
Sophia was completely ready to fight.
In response, I also moved the shadows and summoned all the shikigami that I usually use as my main force.
However, except for Eve who was revived this time.
slurp.
Whoops!
Fuwaak!
“Well done. Of course it has to be like that.”
“Don’t worry, I will keep my promise.”
“Thank you for that.”
After speaking, Sophia did not delay and proceeded with the rite in succession.
Even what you can see right away is the white heat wave, non-poisonous poison, and even the Gazetteer, a heavy gold technique for close combat.
It was Sophia who usually prefers to keep an appropriate distance, but it seems that she was considering a close-quarters battle specifically aimed at me.
Of course, the feast of magic that was approaching at an unbelievable speed made my hands to deal with it even busier.
Whoops.
“Bibong, incandescent charm.”
First of all, the simple defensive technique, Bibong, is completed in advance and placed in a position to offset the non-poisonous disease, and immediately afterward, it covers the difference in spiritual power by using the incandescent charm, an improvement technique of the white heat wave.
Sophia, approaching with a blade of spiritual power in her hand, will be held in check by Gongsami’s flames and Black Eum’s feathers.
It was a very complicated task just thinking about it, but my body and head, already accustomed to this kind of situation, naturally performed them.
Despite the succession of ceremonies in a difficult-to-block composition, when no gaps were visible as expected, Sophia first stepped back with a regretful expression on her face.
And then he complained to me.
“Chi, melee combat is weak, so it doesn’t really mean anything.”
“Because I’m paying that much attention.”
After finishing her words, Sophia began to develop her magic while raising her spiritual powers again, making sure she was not tired.
Two this time.
One of them is a photograph of the Three Six Yellow Emperors (三淯晃沙陣) that I have seen several times before.
However, the other one was an unfamiliar technique that I had not seen in a while.
“Because Kang Yunyi is very good at coping with general-purpose techniques. I’ve been preparing for something a little different.”
“… … .”
I shook my head at those words and quickly recalled the numerous magic tricks in my memory.
And, sooner or later, I was able to discover its identity.
‘No, where the hell did that come from?’
Somehow, once I saw it, I couldn’t understand it, so I came with a really minor type of magic.
The name of Sophia’s second ceremony was Yuhonchogye (蹂魂焦癸).
Its method is similar to that of the curse type, but it is a special redemption technique that takes a different structure as far as the shape is concerned.
The person who is the target of this magic will be bound by a bond that is heavier by the amount of the current spiritual link.
A minor technique that was only used to sniper classes in a specific meta in PVP.
However, for me as a shikimist and a goldsmith, it can be said to be fatal.
‘There are hundreds of thousands of ghosts stolen from Gongsami, so if you get hit, the damage will be terrific.’
However, I must say that I am fortunate enough, as I have often been the target of this technique in PVP, so I also remember how to deal with it.
Yuhonchogye (蹂魂焦癸) method, it is possible to perform the fracture (破絶) with the same intermediate level of the same type of operation, baliyeon (縛離連).
‘It’s been a while, so the timing is a bit confusing… … .’
But for now, I have no choice but to do it.
I first developed a wall operation in Changcheon to block the three-and-a-half-hwang picture, and then immediately prepared a fracture procedure and started running forward.
‘At 12 o’clock, the moment when the second and third rings of the inscription are connected.’
In order to aim for that point, we had to close the distance quickly.
Whoops.
Peeing!
Sophia, who confirmed my approach, swung out one hand and fired a white fire wave magic while performing her magic spell, but it was blocked by a curtain from the black sound following me from above.
In that way, I was able to break Sophia’s wedding ceremonies by breaking it at the right time.
Whoops.
Pasch.
blah blah!
As the spell completely collapsed, a significant shock was delivered to Sophia, and I took the opportunity to retreat and replenish the consumed spiritual power by using the Spiritual Combustion property.
Whoops.
woo woo woo.
Sophia grimaced for a moment and shook her hands, then spoke to me with a look of wonder.
“Ugh. Did you even know this drink? I can’t believe it.”
“I happened to have the opportunity to meet you.”
“Can you? It was taken from the depths of the warehouse of the sponsored family… … .”
“Perhaps the origin of the ritual itself is different.”
In the first place, as it is an old-fashioned magic, if you make excuses like this, you can’t help but believe it.
Sophia sighed as if exhausted, raising her spiritual power, and then wrapped herself up using both defensive and barrier techniques at the same time.
“I can’t help it. It doesn’t look like it’s going to win this way. Ugh, everything you’ve been preparing for is meaningless.”
“To be honest, it was pretty intimidating.”
“Ugh. is it? I didn’t see it that way at all.”
Sophia puffed up her cheeks with dissatisfied eyes.
Then, he glanced to the side and shot a merciless attack on Choi Chang-il, a man with two guns, who at some point had eliminated Sophia’s teammate.
Nettle juice!
Wow!
blah blah!
“Ugh. That’s neat. There’s nothing to look at now, right?”
Perhaps she was worried that she would get involved, Sophia began to inflate the size of her spiritual power with a force that was significantly different from before.
“It may turn out to be a bit ugly, but after all, if you want to win, you have no choice but to fight with firepower.”
“… … .”
“From now on, I’m going to shoot three advanced techniques one after another. In the end, I will write the most confident attack technique.”
It was both a provocation and an expression of confidence that could not be hidden.
In other words, if you can stop it, stop it.
‘… To be honest, in a fight between cadets, it’s completely against the law.’
First of all, what is high-tech?
There are not many 3rd-level exorcists that can be used, and even if they have the ability, there are many who remain in the state of intermediate magic for the rest of their lives because they cannot realize the logic of the insanely complicated magic.
Even at Cheonghwa Academy, where Korea’s most talented people gather, there are only a handful of cadets who can use it.
However, with her extraordinary brain and vast spiritual power, Sophia has already reached the level of perfection in even advanced techniques.
If you look at the speed and power of the previous Palgong Seon Ha Mangju (汃攻旋荷罔駐), you can probably use other techniques perfectly.
However, I buried that pressure in one side of my mind and smiled inside.
Even before this fight even started, I had foreseen the fact that I would face this kind of situation.
‘It’s obvious in a way.’
Of course, Sophia is a master of battle far beyond the level of a cadet, but I also had no intention of being beaten by an ordinary number, so the match naturally grew longer.
This inevitably narrows the number of actions Sophia can take.
And the surest means she would take in such a situation.
It’s about using your greatest strength, your spiritual power, to fight firepower.
In a word, it was also the moment I had been waiting for all along.
I glanced at the shikigami and summoned some shikigami, who now had no meaning in containment, into the shadows.
Then, another shikigami was sent out from within.
slurp.
Fuwaak!
That is the legacy left by the ancient witch Verdi, and the watchman who guarded the witch’s room.
“… Please give me an order.”
It was the magic doll Eve.
