166 – Touhou (6)
Masked people who seem to be well over twenty.
Not one of them is weak.
At least Jibril could be sure that if he had been the only one to deal with them, he would not have been able to handle just three of them and would have collapsed.
Magic is useful, but it cannot be used well for combat purposes.
If you wanted to trick someone with an illusion and then run away, you could.
But the number of enemies exceeds twenty.

‘I’m really, really lucky to have Aria.’
My whole body was drenched in cold sweat as I spread the fog in real time, but I didn’t care.
If he had time to worry about such things, he used magic once more.
Kang, Kaang!
The metallic sound was heard more clearly because my eyes were closed.
The sharp sword clashes with the sword.
If he were not careful, he could have died from being hit by a knife that flew at him without his knowledge, but Jibril did his best not to lose his composure.
At this moment, he knew very well that he was the one holding up the battlefield.
It wasn’t overconfidence or arrogance or anything like that.
Rather, he was telling the truth.
Objectively, those masked people who carefully surround themselves are strong. In fact, Jibril knows this better than anyone else.
That’s because each and every one of them were elite troops of the moon night.
She could not have known, as she herself had once belonged to Wolya, one of the two powers that divided the East.
Isn’t it thanks to their magic that she and the others were able to shorten the travel time to the east this time?
A lot of things were needed to deal with such elite troops of Wolya.
First, the presence of a strikingly strong individual.
The element of force in battle was, of course, important.
Only in this way can Jibril play a complete supporting role.
In this case, Aria, who had achieved her own sword formation, took on that role.
The level of sword master is something that few people have achieved even in the East.
Probably even they, excellent agents, couldn’t help but be embarrassed. A young girl who hasn’t even met her terms and conditions manifests a sword form?
In general, it was a story that was difficult to believe.
‘But now, Aria is protecting me by my side.’
It didn’t matter. Anyway, now I just had to figure out a way to break through them and get out of this Wolya’s stronghold.
How could I have known that things would turn out like this?
Even though Jibril quickly erased the thoughts that came to his mind for a brief moment, he was unable to completely block the rising feeling of self-reproach.
She simply visited the organization’s headquarters to apologize for recklessly abusing Wolya’s unique secret techniques and to take on a small responsibility.
‘…… ‘No way would I have thought that they were the servants of the Dragon Emperor that Dante and the Slayer Dragon were looking for.’
This was completely unexpected. Jibril chewed her lips as she felt her vision gradually blurring and the sense of loss of vision fading away.
Was it a misjudgment to try to see through their intentions and plans without Dante and Tsumei as actual forces?
‘I never would have thought that one of the two great powers that dominate the East would have already fallen into the hands of an outsider called the Dragon Emperor… ….’
He said he had enjoyed the sightseeing enough and had nothing else to do, but he also caused great inconvenience to others who followed him.
Jibril let out a short sigh.
‘Thanks to these people, I am alive today.’
Nevertheless, I do my best to calm down my increasingly complicated feelings.
First of all, I had to stay calm.
Luckily among misfortunes, Aria was very strong.
It was at an unrivaled level here.
In addition, Grisha and Nick are also strong men who are definitely not lacking.
No matter how much you think about it, they are far beyond the level of first-year students at the academy.
The growth rate is truly astounding. Normally, they would have burst out in admiration, but right now, their abilities were holding on to Jibril’s life.
‘…… Phew.’
Of course, Jibril also had no intention of just receiving protection without doing anything.
You can blame yourself later for your own foolishness in choosing the wrong organization to belong to.
Now was the time to focus. Spot your enemies through blurred vision. Don’t miss a single one.
It is about driving out the enemy.
Whaaa!!
It was at that moment that Jibril’s white hair began to flutter here and there, swept away by pure magic.
She was not embarrassed.
“…… What? What!”
But others have no choice but to do so.
Did they realize the danger of the gathered magic power?
A man who appeared to be the leader of the masked people forcefully struck Grisha’s divine spear and threw her body away.
Of course, it was to prevent Jibril’s trick.
“Where?”
Grisha didn’t just watch that either.
The new spear begins to burn more fiercely.
“Bite, Sharktooth.”
At the same time as a short chant, the new spear, Ego Weapon Sharktooth, burst into vivid brilliance.
The moment her man’s movements slowed down for a moment, Grisha did not miss that moment.
Kwagwagwagwagwa-!!
Go straight ahead using the explosively pulsating Shinchang as a beam of light.
The tip of her spear advanced without hesitation and eventually struck her man’s abdomen.
“Wow…… !”
She did not let down her guard. But was it because I was impatient?
Her man quickly collapsed her body with a faint scream.
And Jibril’s magic.
At this moment, it came true.
Kwagagagagagagak!!!
Primary roar. Additionally, a surge of unaligned magic power.
What follows is ice petals that fill the entire area.
“…… ?!”
“What…” … !”
The masked people were not usually embarrassed, but this time they seemed unable to hold back their urgent voices.
They tried to pull themselves back somehow.
It was a useless struggle.
Errr!!
The ice that swept all around Jibril and his group took the form of huge icicles or stalactites.
And those people didn’t even touch a single hair-.
The masked people over 20 were silenced in an instant.
“…… Ha!”
The silence did not last very long.
Jibril was the first to get down on his knees.
The way he was breathing heavily seemed like he was overexerting himself.
Aria was startled and tried to help her.
“Gwae, it’s okay. “It’s worth holding on to.”
Jibril smiled heartily while waving his hand as if telling him not to worry too much.
I didn’t necessarily add the words, ‘It’s still okay.’
Instead of showing a weaker appearance, she scanned the masked people around her with a sharp gaze.
Without being able to get up from my seat.
“Was the magic applied successfully? ….”
And after completing her confirmation, she sighed in relief.
All the masked people were trapped in the ice pillar.
Spiritual magic, Binghwa (氷花).
Surprisingly, this was not a magic trick for attack.
On the outside, it may look like it was swept away by a huge ice tsunami, but the reality was quite different.
To be precise, it feels like being locked in a block of ice and shown an illusion.
The characteristic is that the sight seen is different depending on the path of good and evil that the subject has walked.
If you have literally lived a good life, you can at least have a happy daydream according to your desires…….
What if you have committed countless evil deeds?
There is no need to explain.
Jibril caught his breath again and finally stood up.
He couldn’t afford to relax forever.
I barely escaped the siege, but I guess I’ve been caught by my pursuers just now.
We had to make sure we got out of here before the other tracking team arrived.
I still haven’t figured out the exact identity of this space. However, Jibril had a premonition somehow.
…… No matter how you look at it, this place was not the home of a normal organization.
A space like this was spread out beneath Wolya’s mansion?
If it was underground, it would just head towards the ground, but that was also something you never knew.
If, according to Wolya’s proprietary patent, this is an external ‘somewhere’ connected to Wolya’s external headquarters through the space leap technique.
And if it is a place where so many gang members are staying that there is really no way to escape -.
“… ….”
Jibril gritted his teeth hard before continuing his thoughts.
He will have endless negative thoughts.
Now I had to move. Jibril looked back at his comrades around him with a determined exhalation.
In a moment of crisis, good people still recognized Jibril as a conductor and followed him.
I had a duty to lead them.
Jibril swallowed his dry saliva and opened his mouth.
“──Twenty-four, have you defeated everyone?”
“… ….”
Wear it.
It was just before I was about to open it.
A cold, subdued voice.
I don’t feel any emotions.
The admiring tone somehow gives the illusion of being made up.
Sreung!
Instinctively, it was Aria who pulled out the sword that had been sheathed.
The Moonlight Pledge began to receive her Aura.
“Grisha, Nick. “Please take Jibril and stay away.”
That is what I said next.
Grisha and Nick’s expressions hardened.
At first glance, it may have been a remark that touched one’s pride, but it was the situation.
Aria’s voice was really unusual, and they also felt it subconsciously.
Carefully turn her head. Check the other person’s appearance.
And I am sure.
They couldn’t stop the author on their own.
To put it bluntly, there is a lack of ability.
…… The burning blue eyes were there.
Wearing dark gray robes deeply pressed down.
Reveals a hand that is not human.
What is it? There will be no time to think about it.
“Come on, quickly!”
The man moved at the same time as Aria screamed.
The blue eyes glowed, and Aria had to feel her body stiffen for a moment.
‘Pfft…’ … !’
Sense of stiffness. Is it petrification magic?
No, no. It doesn’t feel like magic.
With that ability, I couldn’t sense anything called mana from those two blue eyes.
Rather, a flow of energy closer to the source can be seen.
It was the so-called dragon’s magic power, whose exact identity Aria could not immediately determine.
Quaaa!
“…… !”
While I was thinking about something else for a moment, the man threw himself away.
It feels like a huge monster has opened its mouth.
Aria followed the movement with her eyes wide open. And then she finally realized it.
You can chase it.
I could not miss the enemy.
The two ‘eyes’ that she had been practicing continuously, and which had received rave reviews from the Sword Saint, were most clearly activated at this moment.
Saaa-
The oath under the moon is moving.
The auror was shaken.
Like a stone falling onto a quiet lake, and like the slow waves of the lake caused by such a stone.
Covered with a sword.
Forms an intangible blade.
The sword type appears.
Taesan (泰山) was completed there.
“Um…… !”
At that moment, the blue-eyed man also could not underestimate the sword that Aria was thrusting into him.
She opened her eyes wide, showing her alertness for the first time.
Wheeooooo!!
The dragon’s magic began to swirl like a storm in both hands of the man.
A sudden change in energy, but it felt extremely natural.
No one could have predicted the moment they collided and the subsequent results.
The power of the company was strong, but Aria in a crisis situation was also amazing.
Even if it wasn’t to the point where I could say I had achieved a level of growth, I felt like I had at least glimpsed something that would allow me to reach the level of a sword saint.
That was enough.
‘In this fight, as long as I survive…… !’
Aria bit her lip so hard that blood leaked out.
A collision is imminent.
1 Second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds. It felt like time was passing by so slowly, but that time of enlightenment will also come to an end someday.
That time was now.
The energies of each sword and spear begin a fight to occupy territory.
It was the man’s courage that won.
The blade and palm collide head-on and move to crush each other horribly.
It was Aria’s sword that won.
It was the man who gained the upper hand first.
Arya pierced his skin.
A close match with no way to predict the outcome.
And what is an unexpected event?
Dismissal!!
Really, it came all of a sudden.
“…… “Eh.”
“What?”
Aria let out an awkward voice and flinched, and before she could take advantage, her man also let out an embarrassed voice.
The two people’s gazes returned.
Quargrung !!!
The Thunder God has descended.
I had an illusion.
“Wow, wow…… !”
It was a mistake on the part of the company.
It wasn’t Aria.
“…… Uh, um.”
She seemed to be just plain surprised, but she wasn’t any more shocked than that and just shifted her gaze shyly.
Arya, with her sword hanging down, was soon left with no choice but to choose her only best response.
“Wow. Wow. Whenever I’m in danger, the only person who saves me is you. I got help this time too…….”
With a voice filled with exclamation and regret at the loss of her soul, Aria greeted her friend, from whom she had no idea where he had come from.
Through a battle that risks one’s life, the level of the sword grows in the process…….
That no longer exists.
Stolen by Dante!
‘No, why did he show up at this time? Really, why…… ?’
If you want to take it away, it would be better if you took something else.
Aria muttered to herself while hiding her disapproval.
‘For example, it’s my first time…….’
It was a story about love.
‘…… It’s the first one…….’
From noble mtl dot com
It was about a lover.
“You.”
Anyway, around the time Aria was thinking about a delusion that was not a delusion.
Dante was looking down at the fallen man with a truly subtle expression.
“Well, I’m really sorry, but can I ask one question?”
The reason was simple.
“…… “I was wondering if you knew Shen and Jake.”
“… ….”
“No, I think the eyes are a bit similar. As a bonus, the face…….”
Her man was silent.
…… She didn’t faint.
