The meeting on subjugation of the second-class door ended sooner than expected, and the engineering leaders who had been scheduled for subjugation still remained in the building.
Just as I was about to double check if I had missed anything or if I had forgotten anything, a notification was sent to all the engineering leaders and guild members.
[There is going to be a battle of the guild chief. All of you are welcome to attend.]
“What? Guild master’s battle?”
“Can you actually see what you’ve only seen in the video?”
“It’s a battle of the best hunters…”
Not only the guild members, but also the engineering leaders were looking forward to it.
I already knew that Sung-hyun is strong, but apart from that, always seeing the power of a strong person was both a new stimulus and an interesting place.
As soon as it was announced that Seong-hyeon’s battle was about to begin, all the engineering leaders and guild members began to gather in a hurry.
“But who are you fighting with?”
“Did you even bring them from another guild?”
As if to solve such a question, In-hwan appeared immediately.
“Is this, Inhwan?”
“Hey, Inhwan also competed with the guild leader as the academy representative…”
It was an unexpected opponent, but In-hwan was also the academy representative.
It was also the first person I heard of in the eyes of the guild leader, Seong-hyeon.
In this rare sight, some guild members even bought snacks and sat down.
So everyone waited for Seong-hyeon, and not long after, Seong-hyun appeared.
“Wow!”
“Guild Master!”
A reaction I never expected.
I knew I would be welcomed, but I didn’t expect to receive such a cheer.
We didn’t see each other often, and of course we never went to subjugation together.
“Are you okay?”
In response to Seonghyeon’s question, Inhwan shrugged as if there was no problem.
“Sounds natural. never look at it If you’re a top-notch hunter, you have to show the overwhelming power that suits him.”
“okay.”
Just as he was about to start the match, he looked at the guild members where In-hwan was sitting and said.
“Before we get started, I have something to tell you. In this battle, the guild leader will not use two abilities. That crazy… no, a huge sword and a pet. In other words, he will deal with me only with his famous healing and pure physical abilities.”
Very few people knew about the stigma, so I wouldn’t be able to use it here anyway, and I wouldn’t even think about it.
When Seong-hyun said that he would fight without using as many as two abilities, the expectations of the guild members increased even more.
“Oh oh…”
“Are you also a top-level hunter…?”
The explanation of Seonghyun’s handicap must have ended, and the battle between the two began.
“then. let’s begin.”
Unlike In-hwan, who had a posture, Sung-hyeon stared at In-hwan in the same posture he had been standing in for the first time.
“…”
I was just looking at myself, but the feeling of intimidation felt as if I was holding a knife to my throat.
Perhaps because of that reason, In-hwan could not easily start an attack even though he was openly showing a gap.
Just as such a breathtaking confrontation was about to continue, Sunghyun opened his mouth first.
“Am I going first?”
“…no. Then it will be over, so I will start first.”
Inhwan exhaled lightly.
The opponent in front of you right now is not just the same team, but the one who has been listed as the top hunter.
‘It’s probably not even close to the level you’re trying to grasp lightly.’
Then it would have been better to show everything that could be shown.
I don’t know how long the barrier caused by De Marge’s equipment will last, but it will surely block one attack.
‘If you attack clumsily, you can’t even rub your collar.’
Then the most dangerous moment is the surest opportunity.
Seonghyeon decided not to use his ability, so he would have to approach him to attack.
‘The far away is an utterance, and the moment it approaches…’
I was thinking of pouring out all the magic that I could use.
“Goes.”
No complicated plans were needed.
To play against someone who was definitely stronger than you, you needed a clearer plan than a complicated one.
Since Inhwan knew better than anyone that nothing could be taken without losing anything, he was thinking of giving him the flesh and taking the bones.
‘Fire.’
After a few minutes of confrontation, it was Inhwan’s speech that signaled the beginning of the fire.
“It’s the first time I’ve met you in person.”
“…just saying that?”
Fire is the ability to burn the opponent’s magical power.
Of course, it wasn’t the same amount, but it was the ability to consume Inhwan’s mana as well.
Even though he was clearly aware of that, Seonghyeon stood upright and received Inhwan’s ability with his body.
“It doesn’t hurt…”
In-hwan, who was about to ask if he wasn’t in pain, kept his mouth shut, even though he was going to feel a lot of pain.
“Well, this might not be a big deal.”
But magic is separate from pain.
Whatever ability it was, it required magical power to use it.
‘…what?’
The amount of magical power was a confident Inhwan.
There was also a feeling that the opponent’s magical power was disappearing.
But it wasn’t over.
Combustion is obviously the ability to evaporate a certain percentage of the target’s magical power.
Inhwan’s magic power was also consumed, so I could roughly figure out how much magic the opponent had.
But it didn’t feel that way.
He just kept holding it as if he was pouring water on the bottom of the poison.
10%, 20%, 40%.
It is an ability that consumes much less mana than the opponent, but the fire did not end even though it consumed more than 40% of its mana.
‘crazy. Why is magic like this?’
Just as I was about to end the fire like that, I felt the energy I had consumed replenish.
‘…uh?’
There was no feeling of recovery.
It felt as if I was using magic from a different source.
This paradoxical feeling, like mine or not.
‘Think later.’
Knowing that firing was useless, there was no need to continue.
Although the magic had been restored, there was no guarantee that it would happen again.
Inhwan immediately wrapped a blue flame around his hand and blew it at Seonghyeon.
I didn’t think the attack would hit, but at least I had to make Seonghyeon approach it.
“Pooh, blue flame…”
“It’s a different dimension from a red flame of the same size!”
The blue flame that fell on the floor continued to burn without being extinguished.
And the heat was exuding enough presence to be transmitted to the guild members who had gathered for the observation.
Of course, Sung-hyun’s presence was overwhelmingly overwhelming.
He was dodging all the blue flames of Inhwan with just a few steps, and even struck it with his bare hands.
Strangely enough, Sunghyun’s body could not be burned by the blue flames that seemed to burn the entire floor.
“…Is that great?”
“Empty words.”
Seonghyeon, who was moving sideways and avoiding the blue flame, soon turned toward Inhwan and started approaching him slowly.
In-hwan also continued to blow blue flames at Seong-hyeon.
Through the magic that is continuously restored.
But the distance is only getting closer.
The distance showed little sign of widening.
‘ね…! There’s nothing I can do about it!’
It’s a skill that consumes a lot of magic, but it’s worth using it because it has magic that is constantly being restored.
‘Ex!’
Inhwan’s hand, which was facing Seonghyeon, immediately turned to the floor, and when he used his ability, three rings made of blue flames were created in the air.
“Ohh…”
In-hwan injected a lot more magic than he had planned to Seong-hyeon, who gave only a very interesting look rather than a sense of crisis.
Then the ring of fire in the air doubled.
Eventually, at the moment when the infusion of magic was finished, blue flames began to erupt from the ring of fire with a fierce force.
A mutated 3rd-class door beast would instantly turn to ashes and disappear at the level of attack.
“…Huh, what a crazy person.”
There were not many exclamations that could express this situation other than cursing.
Things that float around Seonghyeon like a barrier.
At first glance, it didn’t seem that much different from Demarge’s barrier, but Inhwan was able to figure it out at once.
That’s not a well-crafted barrier.
He was simply pushing the flames away with the magical energy emanating from the inside of his body.
‘Where is the end of the alternative magic?’
With magical powers, there wasn’t much that could be done by its own existence without any abilities.
Pushing out the flames like that was actually a magical power that could not be done other than spewing it out, so I just did it.
Except that the amount is beyond imagination.
“Have you grown so much?”
“…thank you.”
Seong-hyeon, who had pushed out all the flames with mad magic, arrived in front of In-hwan in no time.
“ね!”
He quickly threw himself back and tried to widen the distance, but maybe it was too late to open the distance to Seong-hyeon, so Seong-hyun arrived at the landing point first.
“For now, take it easy…”
In-hwan hurriedly used Demarge’s barrier against fists flying towards his stomach.
“This is Demarge’s barrier.”
Seonghyeon, who confirmed the barrier, put in a little more force than he originally intended to attack.
There was a sound as if iron was collided, and Seong-hyeon’s fist was blocked by a barrier.
“As expected, DeMargue’s equipment…”
I was relieved for a moment at that sight, but that was also for a while.
The barrier is cracked.
“Hey, in one room…”
And while In-hwan was embarrassed, Seong-hyeon’s fist attacked the barrier once more, and in the end, the barrier that could not stand was broken.
The moment the fist that pierced the barrier was about to pierce Inhwan’s side, Inhwan shouted.
“Ha, surrender!”
Inhwan looked down at his fist.
An ordinary fist that had already shouted surrender and had all the momentum.
It was a fist that looked no different from ordinary people’s fists.
‘If that’s right…’
Inhwan lacked the ability to foretell the future, but the future was clearly visible.
It wasn’t just a fist that would end in great pain.
At least the ribs should have been powdered.
“Wow, wow!”
“Guild leader is the best!”
“Inhwan is good too!”
The inside was filled with cheers.
Seong-hyeon, who showed overwhelming skills even without using any abilities, and In-hwan, who poured unstoppable power against Seong-hyeon, the top hunter.
“Huh… have you all seen it? What will happen if we gossip about our guild leader?”
“haha! Inhwan is the guy!”
“Well done though! The fire was truly tingling!”
Good spectacle for some.
After the battle, which was a stimulus for new growth for some, ended, Seong-hyeon set up a separate place for In-hwan-ga.
“Did anything strange happen during the match? What has changed.”
“Um… ah! right. there was I don’t know what’s causing it, but my magic power keeps recovering.”
Again, the feeling I had before was not an illusion.
The feeling of using one’s own magical power that was felt when using that enormous power.
“Also…”
“Do you know anything?”
“Maybe you share my magic.”
At the words of sharing magical power, Inhwan remained stiff and began to stumble.
“Hey, you say you share your magic, you share your magic? your magic?”
It was an unacceptable word from common sense.

Magical power was nothing different from its own vitality.
Do you share that magic?
