11 – Showdown with Chiron
In Murim, the scary thing about the cavalry raised by the emperor and the nomads who treated horses as if they were their own body was due to their horsemanship.
Basically, a horse that is bigger than a human being, harder and faster is no different from a chariot that roams the battlefield in itself, and the presence of cavalry soldiers who assist blind spots on horseback and attack with spears or bows is no different from that of ordinary infantrymen.
Even if they have learned martial arts, how many warriors in Moorim can build barriers with words, not just one or two, and slash the advancing army?
If he had recovered at least half of his previous life’s inaction, this difference in size wouldn’t be such a big weakness.
The lower body of a horse and the upper body of a warrior.
That man, who is not even riding a horse, but a horse himself, what kind of inaction would he have built?
Looking at the still weak demonic spirit and slender body, it will be quite a struggle.
“Weapons are evenly distributed at will”
As Chiron beckoned, two centaurs, no two, no two…Anyway, the two brought a stand with all sorts of weapons and set it down in front of them.
From all kinds of swords to blunt weapons, spears, axes, and even whips and bows, he was a faithful armed man.
“Hmm… Then to this window”
“Wise choice, then I will use the spear as well.”
There was no weapon I couldn’t handle.
In the first place, the 12 gods who kidnapped me in my previous life along the Samdocheon River generously handed down their martial arts.
Swordsmanship is basic. Spears, axes, blunt weapons, bare-handed fighting, even using a whip, and first attack using a fan.
Among them, there were all sorts of miscellaneous arts, such as occult and witchcraft, as well as contemplation, astronomy, and fortune telling.
‘The person who actually taught me wasn’t a magician, but other noblemen scolded me for ruining the chairperson’s seat with miscellaneous alcohol.’
Unexpectedly, I used it well when I was performing in front of church members and people from political factions.
Anyway, the spear I readily reached out and grabbed was much lighter than the spear I had originally used, but it was quite heavy for this slender body.
‘It’s not bamboo, but it’s not a bad spear if it’s thick. The window edge finish is also certain’
– Huung!
Let’s just swing the spear as a test.
The spearmanship I have mastered is the Gwangpungsinchang Jangcheon’s Gwangpungshrekspear, which dominated the world with spearsmanship like ferocious winds in the past.
It is said that the spear, like a typhoon that rushes violently in an instant, is reversed and reversed in an instant.
-Whoa!
As I lightly held the foundation ceremony, the responding wind quietly rose up and raised dust, and soon calmed down as I stopped the window.
“…I’m sure there aren’t any gods blessed by Zephyrus in this forest?’
“If you are going to say that this is like a spear or divine work, then you should teach your body that it is an incorrect answer”.
“hehehe, I guess I will be taught by someone after a long time.”
“Because even a wise man learns from a child, and even the steps of a passing dog contain realization.
It is only up to the recipient to obtain it. Because the person who will be your teacher has such an open insight.
My heart is overjoyed.”
“hahahaha.”
“Whoops.”
A little war of nerves.
However, the old half-man, half-horse and I quietly looked at each other while exploring the true intentions contained within.
He is much bigger than me.
Skills honed while living like a god.
In addition, the power to freely control the mobility and destructive power of horses was a pretty difficult opponent for me, who had only dealt with humans so far.
[If you have to fight an unknown opponent, there is only one way to win.]
“….Go ahead!”
– Huung!
The step I took, the spear I sharpened, and the wind blew it apart in an instant.
Everything is grass, everything is grass.
Aiming for the half-man, half-horse’s heart, Myeongchi, Nangchu, and Gokji, the windspears flew in all directions.
“Oh no!?”
As a Greek hero teacher, perhaps surprised by the martial arts he had never seen before, Chiron spurred his front legs and swung his spear at the same time.
-Da da da da dadang!!
From noble mtl dot com
The sound of hitting wood resounded, and when my spear stopped for a moment, a horseshoe reminiscent of a hammer flew at my head.
It was impossible to block, but the falling spear sweeping the front in a fan was a hindrance to digging in or avoiding sideways.
– Bang!
Soon, a pair of horses’ hooves flipped over the ground and soared across the area as if dust were exploding, but I quickly pulled out through my already obscured vision.
“Sheesh… It’s not easy after all.”
My hands felt numb at the anti-elastic force that had just passed through the window.
Only spears collided with spears, but there was an enormous shock as if struck by some kind of metal, and even a ground-shaking hoof stamp.
It’s shameful that I was hit by the wind pressure and carried out backwards.
If I had given even a little strength and endured, I would have fallen out.
“Tsk, the leather was so thick that it didn’t even fight back, right?”
A while ago, I pulled out and grabbed the spear as long as I could and swung it to cut Chiron’s demon.
I definitely felt it in my hand and was certain that it went in, but what was on the tip of the spear was not blood, but a few thick hairs.
As soon as I confirmed this, an unusual vibration began to resonate from the front.
-Doo-doo-doo!
“!!”
My vision was obscured by dust, but the dull vibration I felt through my toes made my spine go cold.
“Ha ha ha! It’s my turn this time!”
– Booung!
A half-man, half-horse that rushes at me, blowing away dust in an instant.
Just looking at the charging form there, I could clearly feel the purpose of suffocating you no matter where you evade.
If you are originally a cavalry soldier, it is impossible to attack in all directions because you have the horse’s head in between.
A style that is only possible because he is a centaur, a horse himself.
It was a crude tactic that only a strong person like him could do, excluding all other options and forcing only a head-to-head match.
“Ha ha ha! What to do now! Show me some more!”
In that violent rush, the words of Master Chang Chun’s words flashed through my mind.
‘Wind is flowing. The flow is the wind, and the wind is you.’
The flow of all things is mine.
Thoughts were brief, movements quick.
About two hundred steps to the wall behind your back.
I drew a circle with the blade of the spear while raising the footwork of the Wind Wind Changbeop, the Pungryubo, and my new model accepted Chiron’s momentum as it was and began to be pushed away like a kite.
-Chang!Chang!Chang!Chang!Chang!Chang!
Poke, cut, strike.
Longitudinal, horizontal, left, right.
Me who rides the wind and retreats, half-man, half-horse fiercely pursuing me.
As the spears of the attacker and the retreater collided, dust arrived and a gust of wind blew.
“Kiraat!!”
“Whoop, whoop, whoop…”
Keep calm.
The head is cold, the heart is hot, the muscles are flexible, and the breathing is short and fast.
Unknown martial art begins with breathing and ends with breathing.
If you lose your breath under any circumstances and become disturbed, this will lead to death.
“Ohhh… Really, there’s nothing wrong with it.
Chiron’s voice of admiration came through the plosives as he drove me almost to the wall.
However, it seems that the flow does not stop at this point, but that the last shot is left.
Where did the benevolent and intelligent image go before, Chiron was laughing ferociously.
“But, it looks like there is still more left to show you?”
– Bang!
He kicked the ground vigorously with his forepaws, and with an explosion almost like a bomb exploded, a 5-meter tall body stood on its feet in front of me.
“It won’t die… But it’ll be dangerous if you don’t do it right.”
-Coogggug!
A huge machete standing on its own two feet, and a human body above it, raised a spear with both hands and pulled it back with an unusual sound.
As if striking with a hammer, this posture twists the muscles and blood flow throughout the body and gathers all the strength at once.
At the same time, a huge air wave, as if a horse was running, pounded my whole body.
‘Gippa!’
This time it was my turn to be surprised.
In a world where martial arts don’t exist, just by raising your momentum, you’re crushing all directions with airwaves.
It was clear that this old centaur had made the right decision.
‘This, at least going to the hospital if I tried to do it moderately’
As soon as I got that intuition, I also aimed at Chiron and got into a stance.
-Huhhh!
Then the gust of wind generated by my air wave pushed back Chiron’s air wave and entered into a power struggle.
If Chiron is an earthquake, then I am a storm.
If Chiron is a hammer, I am a bow.
Chiron couldn’t help but be astonished at the momentum I spewed out.
“Ohh..! Come! You too were a warrior who awakened your aura!”
“Come? Oh, is it called Ki in Western style?”
In the Orient or martial arts, it is a flag.
Come or come in western or fantasy.
To go into detail, the qi of the East is a more profound system, and the aura of the West is closer to the manifestation of killing, but there was no particular reason to correct it.
-Coogggug!
-Hung woo woo woo!
To talk more than that, me and Chiron were fighting fiercely with each other.
The moment the balance is broken even slightly, the losers and winners will be decided.
The opponent is a point that flies horizontally.
The probability of an attack encountering each other was low, so it was a fight where whoever moved first or showed an opening would lose.
“hahahahaha… This makes the old half-man, half-horse blood boil.”
“…..”
The collision of air waves slowly running toward the peak.
Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and steam began to rise from Chiron’s body as heat, and the two spears crossed each other without saying who was first.
My braincel is dead
