229. Madness of the Witchbeast – Bloody Battle with Apostle (3)
***
From nob le mt l. co m
Now that we have entered the depths of the forest in pursuit of the presence.
The sensation that nature felt was extremely close.
My thoughts, which I thought would be clearly felt when the distance narrowed, were just as wrong. More than anything else, the biggest thing was that I couldn’t even be sure that there was an apostle.
Even when I arrived, I didn’t feel anything.
So I had to figure out if the apostle had left or if he was still staying here.
“… … .”
It spreads energy as if bursting a large spiral, raising the senses to the fullest.
And then I could feel it.
‘there is.’
The apostle was here.
Between the old trees, in the dark space where there is no sunlight, it cleverly existed and was out of sight.
A presence that you would never recognize unless you focus on it.
While continuing to express the energy of the spiral as if spreading it greatly, the mind calmed down. It felt as if the apostle was waiting for the right moment while holding his breath.
Seruk! Power naturally came from the hand holding the spear, and it was impossible to take the first attack without haste.
‘Something is different.’
Madness episode of the Witchbeast. It was completely different from the feeling of the apostle explained in the work.
Originally, the first thing Leonhardt felt while facing the apostle in the play was ‘overwhelming’. It had an overwhelming size and was described as an apostle in the form of a lion, but the apostle in my eyes was not like that.
Its size is in the form of a normal lion, but it was dark enough to assimilate into darkness, so if you didn’t know it in advance, you wouldn’t have been able to properly distinguish its shape.
softly… !
The corners of my eyes narrowed to the lion’s mane, which waved slightly in the darkness. Compared to what I thought was a gigantic size, it was agile and had the form of an ordinary lion.
And the strength of existence is not clearly felt. Both his appearance and his presence seemed ambiguous.
‘Maybe it’s because it’s before the victim comes out.’
More than an hour has passed since the lecture started as a group. So many cadets spread out into the woods.
Since there are no victims, the size of the apostle may still be small. The sight that Leonhardt faced was an apostle devouring the cadets, so perhaps there was a possibility.
Seruk. I calmed my eyes so that I could react at any time while giving strength to the hand holding the spear.
and that moment.
■!
The darkness burst out like an explosion.
As he kicked the ground at once and threw a spear, his chest was stained with horror.
Chae Ae Aeng!!
The instant I felt that I had encountered the attack of the apostles enveloped in darkness, my body was greatly pushed back by a strong sense of repulsion.
Even though it was the expected power at the moment… I couldn’t understand it.
Still, I didn’t even have time to think.
Slurp!
He straightened his body while dragging the ground and tried to hit the spear again, but the darkness that burst out was gone.
“…!”
I hurriedly looked at my surroundings while feeling the energy of the activated spiral through my whole body.
The apostle’s presence is insignificant, so you can’t pay attention only to that presence. The speed was so fast that it would be difficult to react if you hadn’t prepared by looking at the movement a little while in advance.
gulp.
Even as I swallow my saliva, a sense of crisis and alertness fills my heart.
‘This… .’
It’s too risky. Even if it could be dealt with immediately, it was not the level of danger originally thought.
Wow!
The strong wind blew her eyes away for a moment.
Glesia, who had raised her sword before she knew it, was manifesting her characteristics brilliantly in the center of the intense wind, as if she was fully entering a combat stance.
“I won’t… disturb you.”
He nodded his head at the calm voice that followed.
I trusted Glesia, who naturally gave me the answer I was looking for.
In addition, the power of wind manifested by Glesia was more refined than before. And since the mighty wind was only blowing around Glesia, it was natural to believe it.
‘As far as speed goes… .’
Glessia can definitely react. There shouldn’t be any problem if it’s avoiding to protect one’s own body.
■!
As the darkness burst out like an explosion again and crossed the air, the spiral was stronger than before as it passed through the spear.
And like the first time, I didn’t have the thought of facing each other with force.
Jjaeng!
I just twisted the trajectory of the blade with the sense that I was stabbing it from below by deftly twisting the direction in which the figure of the apostle was rushing in.
Woowook!
And I clearly felt the leather in my hand and the heavy resistance that pierced the skin.
‘It’s reached!’
It was also evident that the body of the apostle reacted insignificantly.
good!
Even as he landed on the ground, he could see that the apostle quickly hid himself among the old trees again.
I made up my mind while maintaining the reverberation of the spiral that spread in the air. Calm yet serious.
I shouldn’t have been in a hurry.
The more the apostle was aiming for a surprise attack, the more I had to be calm.
***
■!
As if the darkness were spraying, it erodes the atmosphere and crosses the space.

Numerous traces visible in Glesia’s field of vision.
And at the same time, the nature right in front of him flings his body and repeatedly strikes the spear intensely.
ㅡㅡㅡ!!
Beyond wrapping Changshin, Han Chunseong, whose whole body was wrapped in blue spirals, was approaching with speed, so Glesia had to feel a sense close to a mystery.
‘Simply changing the nature of mana… .’
Incredible utilization that can show this much speed. It was all the more unbelievable for her, who had to deal with the wind and pursue faster speeds.
Chow!
Immediately after that, the apostle’s blood spilled out, scattering fine traces in the space, and his gaze went blankly.
“… … .”
Blood gushing out and a new type of agar rushing violently twisting the spear. The true value of his power comes into my eyes.
The speed was even faster than when he sparred with himself.
And even the use of power was proficient.
The new type, which moved as if scattering afterimages, was now confronting the apostle, who was enveloped in darkness, so quickly that it felt like it had instantly appeared and disappeared in space.
and in between
■!
When the darkness suddenly burst out from under her feet, Glessia immediately jumped in response.
I couldn’t just watch Han Chun-seong and the apostle’s workshop. The darkness that was presumed to be an apostle was bursting with darkness from time to time as if he was also targeting it.
Perong!
As the space before I moved exploded into darkness and the ground was greatly shaved away, my heart sank even colder.
‘This is the power of an apostle… .’
The apostle I met for the first time felt so intimidating.
It was difficult to even breathe properly just being in the same space, and I couldn’t even get used to the feeling of being wet.
however. It wasn’t like that anymore.
While confronting the apostle, he kept his eyes on the character of the agar, and slowly came to realize the existence of the apostle.
“…”
While gripping the sword with both hands, I carefully kept my eyes open to the battles unfolding in my field of vision.
■!■!■!■!
Between the darkness that erupted simultaneously from all sides, the apostle’s offensive became more and more fierce.
As if reacting to it, the movement of Han Chun-seong, twisting and throwing the window every moment, was also clearly visible.
visor! Chaechaechaeng!
The movement of Han Chun-seong slashes the spear with a completely emotionless face. Every time it encounters darkness, the spirals surrounding the spear shake greatly, and even the spear pole shakes greatly.
The sight of the situation was just strange. Obviously, it was the apostle who continued to get hurt.
Traces of the blood spilled by the apostle have already been embroidered in various spaces, and in the meantime, Han Chun-seong calmly reacts as if responding to the apostle.
I took a deep breath as I looked at each of them one by one.
‘are you okay.’
It was obviously an urgent situation, so there was no chance for me to help Han Chun-seong.
But that’s why I knew it was best to protect my body even more. Watching him stand against the apostle, I always prepared myself the more I reacted.
■!
And when the darkness that was greatly pushed by the spear suddenly changed direction and rushed at me, I immediately kicked the ground.
‘You must not run into the apostle.’
It is possible that Han Chun-seong stabs the spear and encounters power because it pierces the apostle’s trajectory.
And now I know that’s impossible.
If you try to bump into it, you will suffer damage. so avoid it
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!
As the wind wrapped around my body blew as if pointing the way forward, my body naturally moved quickly through the air.
As I fled my body like that to avoid the darkness, at the same time I saw Han Chun-seong rushing after him quickly.
It was a moment of great distance.
“… !”
A sudden darkness in the atmosphere took a sudden place in the direction I was moving. As soon as the darkness swelled up, a sense of near-death crisis welled up.
He immediately thrust the sword held in both hands toward the front.
Shaaa!!
At the same time as a storm-like wind gushes out from the sword body… … .
Kwaaang!!
A huge explosion sounded like it was hitting my ears.
***
-I can not know.
– I can’t even understand.
Even so, he was steadily inflicting damage on the apostle.
Knowing that an unprecedented power, which the apostle I knew did not have, was targeting Glesia from time to time, I tried to focus the apostle’s attention on me by launching an attack more ferociously.
however… .
The moment when the apostle who encountered my power suddenly twisted his body and rushed towards Glesia.
“… … .”
It seemed like my breath stopped for a moment.
Even so, I quickly followed after the apostle, relieved for a moment at the sight of Glesia moving faster than I thought.
Chichichi!!
It was the moment when the blade of the spear, meshed with the darkness, reacted intensely and burst into a spiral in the atmosphere.
Kwaaang!!
Even after pushing the apostle away by swinging his spear at the sudden explosion from behind, his gaze suddenly shifted.
“ah… … .”
I couldn’t understand even when I opened my mouth in a daze.
Glesia succeeded in evading the apostle. And so that the apostle could not even aim for Glesia again, he pursued right after him and stopped the apostle.
But now.
The sight I saw was beyond my expectations.
… … .
Blood dripped into the air.
It wasn’t the same dark blood that had been shed by hitting apostles so far.
It had a very… vivid red color.
“Agar Castle!”
Unconsciously, I was shaking my head at the sight of Glesia screaming urgently with her face covered in blood.
It shouldn’t have been like this…
“…”
As I blankly gazed at the darkness rushing in front of me… … .
It seemed that my heart was out of order.
