Episode 161
The mourner is not an idiot.
He used to say he lacked wisdom, but that didn’t mean he was like an ignorant beast.
Its instincts are very sharp, and when it comes to making decisions for survival, it makes accurate predictions that are more than intelligent humans.
And the guy realized it with just one bump. The fact that if you keep using the curse as it is, you will eventually die.
“Kyaah!”
Kwajik!
Whoops!

Myodousa leapt off the ground as if bouncing a huge body and was shot at me.Although there is still a distance, if you release the yogi through the tail after landing, you can secure a sufficient range.
It was indeed the judgment of a skilled hunter.
However, the same goes for me in the fight.
In the first place, in order to prevent such a Myodusa while completely pouring out the curse, the shikigami had been kept alive until now.
“… Burn it.”
[Cheek!]
[huh!]
Gongsam, Noongsugwi, and even Sosoroe.
The shikigami capable of long-distance attacks poured check and control as best they could, and after that, Gongsam and Eve, who were strengthened through the mist of Amju (暗晝), caught the attention of Myodusa by hitting and falling in moderation.
“Ahhh-!”
A crisis came in just a few matches due to the existence of a basic specification difference, but it was not only my shikigami who were disturbing Myodousa.
“Chilsan Gyeok (七産擊)!”
Nettle juice!
quagga!
Whoa-!
Arietta’s high-level attacking technique, shot with good timing, accurately hit the torso of the unattended Myodousa for a moment.
At the time of the encounter, it was the Myodusa who easily endured Shin No-eul’s high-level techniques, but now it is exuding a sign of pain even at a glance.
As it turned out, the guy wasn’t the same as before.
‘Reaction was slow, and stamina dropped.’
So far, the guy has been in the position of an obvious predator.
It was able to withstand any attack based on its unique specs and vast magical power, and it was possible to wipe out all of them if they wanted to, no matter how many exorcists attacked them.
That’s why the guy who didn’t even feel a sense of crisis handed over too much information to this side.
‘However… … .’
Each attack that the members of the Red Red Army risked their lives for was like a piece of the puzzle to me.

Myodousa who overlooked it would surely pay the price.“Ahhh!”
Ground to wall, wall to tree, and tree to ground again.

Myodousa, who showed a truly acrobatic movement, was aiming for Arietta as it was.However, after waiting for such a timing, I breathed in and cursed again.
“The Temple of the Dead.”
Whoops.
Pasta crispy!
“… Shh!”
Koo!
thud!
The curse that continued to dig into the body, and the unstoppable bridle, Myodousa twisted nervously.
And taking advantage of that gap, Arietta’s new form, which activated the magic, became blurry and escaped from Myodusa’s arms in a strange form.
It was one of the unique techniques of Beatrice, the vampire who possessed the trait of the true spirit blood, was fogging.
wow.
‘It works too.’
As expected, I gently clenched my fists.
Of course, the crisis is still full. Basically, the guy and we are in different weight classes. If someone made a mistake, everything would immediately fall apart.
However, the shikigami connected to me could never miss the prepared timing, and Arietta is also a superhuman who can carry out operations close to perfection in any situation.
At this point, the sage would also have realized. The fact that I perfectly coped with his pattern, set a trap from which he could not escape.
‘Never miss it.’
Everyone worked so hard for this.
Externally, I was only a candidate for the Red Flower Team, but if I can’t finish it here, knowing the future and preparing for it, I won’t stand up for them.
“The Temple of the Dead.”
Whoops.
Pasta crispy!
“Mirror of a semicircle.”
Paz!
blah blah!
“Kyaak—!”
repeat, and repeat again.
Due to the endlessly pouring curses, the damage of the Myodusa continued to accumulate.
‘… About 20% of the public is left.’
He is also a living creature.
When it comes to this level, it is impossible to exert such overwhelming power as in the beginning.
So, there was only one thing left to win.
‘Who will go out first?’
The eyes of me and Myodusa, both showing signs of exhaustion, intertwined in the low air.
***
Arietta Morgan has been very highly valuing Han Kang-yoon’s talent since she was at the academy.
‘… Your junior is great.’
It was the same when we first met in the class promotion test, and when fighting against Shin Do-hoon, who became a poet, he always showed more than expected ability.
Considering his age, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was truly the divinity of this generation.
‘And the junior… … .’
Beyond the level of just becoming a little stronger or helping those around him, he has a huge will to contribute to the world in the coming crisis.
In fact, the vessel is different from anyone around him, including Arietta.
That’s why Arietta came here with Han Kang-yoon.
And through this incident, he reaffirmed the greatness of Han Kang-yoon.
‘… I can’t believe it.’
The S-Rank Yokai I actually encountered was beyond my imagination.
Even the members of the Red Army, who must have been active in the field for a long time, were no match for him, and Shin No-eul, an elite exorcist, also faded in front of him.
Without Han Kang-yun’s insight and timely judgment, most of them would have lost their lives right away.
In addition, Han Kang-yoon devised a way to defeat the opponent while preserving the lives of the members in this urgent situation.
As far as Arietta knew, there was no other person who could do this with such limited time and resources.
Han Kang-yoon was truly unique, and he was always leading the way.
Therefore, Arietta did not realize it, and did not notice it.
That Han Kang-yoon is also an ordinary person, except for those parts.
Cool!
“Kip!”
slurp.
Among the wires that had been running smoothly, an ominous sound suddenly resounded in my ears.
Arietta slowly turned her gaze away, trying to hide the rising anxiety.
And there, there was Han Kang-yoon, who was full of accumulated curses, holding her head with one hand and vomiting blood.
“… Junior!”
When you think about it, it made sense. It is a curse so powerful that even the mourners continue to receive blows.
Then, what about the human Kang-yoon Han?
Han Kang-yun himself said that he has a body that is exceptionally strong against curses, but even so, that is not absolute.
In the end, Han Kang-yun’s limitations came sooner than Myodousa.
“Cool! Whoa, whoa.”
Han Kang-yoon’s condition was not good, even with empty words. And it wasn’t just Arietta who noticed it.
“Shhh-!”

Myodosa Temple, who has been cursed by Han Kang-yoon for helpless time.A skilled hunter could not miss this opportunity.
“Sister!”
Seizing the opportunity, Myodousa ran towards Han Kang-yoon taking advantage of the momentary gap, and Arietta also flew in the same direction, using her magic trick.
Han Kang-yoon would have to deviate from the designated place, but it was decided that there was nothing that could be done as the situation was the situation.
However, for some reason, Han Kang-yoon frowned and hurriedly shouted to Arietta.
“Big! no!”
“… What?”
At that moment, the path of Myodousa, who seemed to be aiming for Han Kang-yoon, changed drastically.
slurp.
quagga!
What that huge body pointed to was Arietta herself.
From the beginning, Myodousa’s target was Arietta.
‘… ah.’
Arietta realized.
The current attack would never be unavoidable.
Arietta had unparalleled resilience, but even at a point where she is controlling her vampire behavior to the extent that she can control it, even that is not perfect.
If the attack was allowed as it is, it was clear that Arietta would die with a high probability.
‘… I made a mistake.’
Han Kang-yun’s instructions were to stop the movement of Myodousa and keep the curse flowing, but it was also a means to protect the shikigami and Arietta from him.
Accurate distance control and timing without even an inch of error are required.
Since he had broken that by himself, it was only natural that he could not escape his attack.
Arietta hardened her expression with regret, but then softly closed her eyes.
Anyway, the lives Myeong-yul and Han Kang-yoon saved were only used up now.
There was no regret. It was only regrettable that I could no longer help Han Kang-yoon after making a promise at the best.
Tuuk.
Someone pushed Arietta’s body, who had accepted the end like that.
“What?”
What Arietta could see, staring to the side with surprised eyes, was Han Kang-yoon, who moved and pushed herself away while blood was dripping from her mouth.
Kwajik!
Woodduck!
Suddenly, a terrifying shattering sound resounded, and Han Kang-yun’s body was bitten by Myodousa’s mouth and floated up into the sky.
“Taishanmun (殆痠璊)!”
Fortunately, Shin No-eul, who had barely recovered his energy from behind, fired a high-level restraint technique to stop the movement of Myodousa, but even at a glance, Han Kang-yoon’s appearance was miserable.
“… Junior!”
Whirlik.
Turk!
Arietta, who quickly grabbed Han Kang-yoon from the air and stepped back, checked the condition.
cry!
slurp.
Organs that are messed up in the blood that leaks from the affected area like water.
The nearby bones were probably smashed as well.
“no. This could be… … .”
In a situation where resuscitation was impossible no matter how you looked at it, Arietta fell into despair.
Han Kang-yoon was not a good person to be sacrificed just to save himself.
Obviously, he was a nobleman who still had work to do for the world.
A method flashed through Arietta’s head as she was desperately thinking about it.
That is, the ritual of supremacy utilizing the characteristics of Jingwihyeol (眞貴血).
If you accept Han Kang-yun’s overflowing blood right now and unlock your power to the maximum, you can do it.
‘But, that’s it.’
Kang-yoon Han once told me that it should never be used.

Moreover, there was not enough time to fully perform the ritual in the current situation.A huge shadow fell in front of Arietta, who was holding onto Han Kang-yoon’s body without being able to do this or that.

Myodousa, who had somehow released the bond, started moving again to finish the battle.“ah… … .”
In a situation full of despair, a low, dull sound resounded.
coogong.
coogong.
It was like a beating heart, and it felt like something was pulsating.
coogong.
The source of such a sound was Han Kang-yoon, lying on the floor.
“… what?”
Soon after, Arietta witnessed an astonishing sight.
It was as if Han Kang-yun’s bones were being put together, the bleeding stopped, and the wounds were repairing like new flesh.
Wow!
Wow!
kuudduk.
After a few short seconds passed, Han Kang-yoon opened her eyes and got up from Arietta’s arms.
“Didn’t you say that last time?”
“… What?”
“I’m not going to lie about this.”
The memory of jokingly revealing one of the secrets of delayed illusion to reassure Arietta, who was in turmoil.
Han Kang-yoon, who remembered it, smiled and shifted his gaze to Myodousa in front of him.
It was time to conclude a long battle.
