I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 176

176. Showdown (3)

ㅡKaang!!!

The sword that emits pure white light falls towards Murka’s neck and is soon blocked by Murka’s shield.

I thought it would just be blocked, but in Zeto’s field of view, there was a faint red line, a ‘weakness’, in Murka’s protective shield.

ㅡKagagak!!!

Zetto instantly twists the trajectory of the sword and draws down its weak point.

As a result, the protective barrier is mercilessly broken.

“……”

It was surprising that the shield was broken, but Murka witnessed the twisting of the mana flowing through Zeto’s body at that moment.

‘Something is coming.’

Judging that it was unusual, Murka predicted Zeto’s sword path that would follow.

‘What I’m aiming for… Is the neck.’

Within seconds, Jeto floated in the air and twisted and rotated his body.

Zetto’s double attack followed in the blink of an eye.

As expected by Murka, Zeto’s red sword aimed at his neck.

‘Is there any time to open the barrier again…’

However, Murka, who predicted the sword path, slightly twisted Zeto’s sword with his telekinesis magic.

ㅡ Fit!

Murka’s throat is cut.

However, it was so shallow that it was nothing more than a scratch on the neck.

As the sword twisted, Murka threw out her neck, barely avoiding a fatal wound.

ㅡPain!!!

Murka immediately gave a strong shock to Zeto’s abdomen with his psychokinesis magic and widened the distance.

Zetto, who was falling far away, managed to land safely by dragging the sword down before hitting the tree.

It was Murka who was in a hurry to respond, so Zeto did not suffer as much damage.

“…Not easy.”

Jetto said while wiping the blood from his mouth as the strain on his body was exerted by the power of the river and Shady.

“……”

Murka similarly ran his neck and looked at the bloody palm.

“Ha…”

He smiled lightly.

How many years has it been since you’ve been hurt by a human?

‘Is this the first time since the war?’

Murka rummaged for a moment and remembered the man with the eyes of the sly snake he had met in the past.

“It’s fun… It’s fun.”

Murka bursts into laughter in the end.

He didn’t deny it.

It was a very subtle difference.

If he had made a small mistake, his throat would have been cut deeply and he would have lost a lot of blood.

Furthermore, the terrible death felt by the blind.

For a brief moment, he felt ‘fear’.

It’s been a long time, even for him.

A battle where you feel the fear of death.

So I laughed.

After gaining power and getting back on track, he thought he had nothing to fear anymore.

However, a blind man who appeared out of nowhere set off an alarm for Murka, who was living a peaceful life.

‘Yes. It was originally like this…’

…To live as a demon.

“…”

On the other hand, Albed, who had been quietly standing next to Murka, was astonished.

‘I couldn’t see it.’

It was because he had no way of knowing what kind of sum Zeto and Murka had exchanged in that short period of time, just a few seconds ago.

“…You know my name.”

Asked Murka as he dismounted from his horse.

Jeto, who had been striding towards him, opened his mouth.

“I know. Murka, next to Albed.”

Zeto calmly points them out in order with his fingers.

“Ohhh… It’s a face I don’t remember… How did you get the information? Is it Eisel?”

“…If I tell you, will you give me a compliment?”

“Yes. I will bestow death upon you personally.”

“hahahaha… I’d like to decline that.”

After that, Jeto straightened his posture.

‘Is there no reason or need to hide anymore?’

Murka quickly looked around and surveyed the situation.

He thoroughly analyzed Jeto.

A swordsmanship that used to break weapons by aiming only for weapons to the point of being strange.

And even the shield that was broken a moment ago.

It was just luck, there were a lot of things that I was reluctant to dismiss as a coincidence.

If the protective shield hadn’t been broken right away, Zeto’s entire body would have been twisted by Murka’s telekinesis magic.

‘He had confidence.’

The conviction that you can break the shield.

No, that move was a move with the existence of a protective shield in mind in the first place.

“Hmm… I thought he fought strangely well for a blind subject…”

Murka let out a drool.

He analyzed, learned, and understood the plot.

Murka’s cold-hearted judgment follows soon.

‘It’s not an easy opponent to be caught off guard.’

If his hypothesis is correct, the blind man in front of him is an outrageous monster and an out-of-standard strong man who could threaten his life.

He was different from ordinary demons who only build their pride by spouting things like human subjects.

Murka acknowledged Zeto and accepted the situation.

It was only then that I began to see clearly how to deal with him.

‘It’s already moved as he intended.’

Murka glanced at the hideous sphere where the flesh of the demons clumped together.

He was able to fight back easily, but even that was crushed with his own power.

‘I shook hands… But at the same time I figured out his weakness, so there’s no problem.’

Murka continued to retrace Jetto’s movements and analyze him.

Of course, Zeto, who knew this, rushed at Murka to avoid giving him such time, but Murka had already reached a conclusion a long time ago.

ㅡKaang!!!

Soon, Murka opened his mouth as he took Zeto’s sword that was approaching at high speed and blocked it with his telekinesis magic.

“Albed, how long are you going to stare blankly?”

“Ha, but… For me, his speed…”

Albed swallowed back his words.

He had long since lost his will to fight.

Murka knew too.

Albed’s limits.

Even in his unit, it was not a combatant’s role in direct combat.

In the first place, Zeto was persistently aiming at Murkaman as if Albed’s existence was not a threat at all.

“…Scatter magic bullets around. As much as possible. That’s enough for your role.”

Completely accustomed to Zeto’s speed, Murka evaded Zeto’s consecutive attacks and continued to speak while parrying them with his telekinesis magic.

‘Matan…?’

The basic magic of demons that is nothing more than a sphere that is simply condensed demonic energy.

It may shock you, but isn’t the magic too weak to kill such a monster?

Albed had such an idea, but there was no time to doubt Murka’s judgment.

Anyway, no matter how bad Albed was at fighting, he was a black horn, so the amount of magic was enough…

ㅡPabababak!!!

…Albed scattered countless magic bullets throughout the forest.

Within that moment, he picked up the magic bullets that were around him with his telekinesis magic and threw them in the direction of Zeto, striking them indiscriminately.

ㅡQuaang!!

ㅡQuaang!!!

An old tree in the forest is broken by the impact of the magic bullet, and a lump of land is hollowed out.

Soon, Jeto, who was no longer able to avoid the magic bullet, leaped backwards and increased the distance.

“You bastard… You see a lot.”

Murka muttered as she smiled at the joy of battle that she felt after a long time.

“…What are you talking about?”

Albed was just shy.

Aren’t there bandages around his eyes as if he’s supposed to be?

It’s because it sounded like a rather strange sound to the blind to see so much.

“He can see through the structure of magic. Furthermore, it is not an exaggeration to say that he can see through the structure of all things in this world.”

“You’re… Penetrating the structure of magic? What kind of…”

Albed couldn’t believe that such a person existed, but he had no choice but to believe.

Didn’t he witness it himself?

The fact that Murka’s protective shield broke so easily.

“Since it understands its structure, it must be easy to destroy it by touching the structurally weak part. It is similar to Dispel. It may be an ability obtained at the cost of losing sight… But it certainly has weaknesses.”

Murka stopped talking and threw magic bullets at Jeto who was on the other side.

Soon, before he had time to catch his breath, Jeto evaded the spur with his legs.

“It is quantity.”

“Quantity?”

“Doesn’t that guy only have one sword?”

Break magic by touching its structural weakness.

It was quite similar to Dispel, but Zeto’s method was different in that it was a physical act.

Because he can break the magic only by swinging his sword and cutting through the magic’s weakness.

“But isn’t that guy really fast? If he knocks them all out…”

“I thought there would be a limit. How is the structure of magic bullets?”

“It’s just condensed demonic energy…”

Albed, who continued to say that, soon realized.

The structure is simple.

Because it is simple, it can be more elaborate.

Because it is sophisticated, its weaknesses are blurred.

“Ha…!”

Albed, realizing this, admired it.

‘How can you complete the analysis and find a way to respond in such a short amount of time…’

He wasn’t particularly smart either, but Murka’s sense of battle, resourcefulness, and agility were simply unmatched.

On the other hand, Zeto had his eyes on the magic bullet that was aiming at him.

Murka’s words were correct.

Matan’s weak point was faint, so it took a lot of concentration to cut it down.

‘I expected Dispel to be read, but…’

What bothers me are the large number of magic bullets scattered throughout the forest.

As we moved forward while being hit by magic bullets, there were too many of them.

From noble mtl dot com.

The shock will quickly accumulate in your body.

Even if you remove Albed first, Murka will be in the way, and time and opportunity will be wasted.

It should never have become a war of attrition.

Judging that, Jeto quickly ran towards Murka while calculating the duration of ‘Blessing’.

“Now, what shall I show you this time?”

Soon after, Murka, who had let out a leisurely voice, rises into the air with Albed.

After all, a swordsman who handles a sword.

Even if there is a means to counter an enemy in the air… Such as swordsmanship, it is enough to take it.

Murka thought that if he led the war of attrition, he would be able to win easily.

Nonetheless, Jetto took his step towards Murka without hesitation.

Because the power he couldn’t analyze was still there.

“Your feet are slow. Are you tired already?”

Murka throws magic bullets at targets that are much slower than before.

Twisting his hands at the same time.

“Spiral.”

Casted Spiral.

ㅡKoo-Goo-Gung!!!

The area where Zeto used to be is twisted.

In the end, Murka’s invisible hand tries to embrace him.

A spiral approaching at the same time as a magic bullet that is difficult to break.

However, Zeto wasn’t particularly tired and slowed down.

He just didn’t cast 2 cards, he wasn’t even running, he was just walking nonchalantly toward Murka.

“Sierra Ryu Reverse Stream. Chapter 3…”

In the immediate vicinity of the chanted Jeto.

ㅡ Kwagagagak!!!!!!!

The red sword light that went against causality starts rampaging.

Innumerable sword attacks, magic bullets, spirals, and weak points are cut and broken.

Soon after, the shattered magi scatters into the air and disappears.

Zetto leisurely walked toward Murka, who had risen into the air.

“How could that…”

Albed, who could hardly understand the situation, was speechless.

The thing I didn’t understand was Murka, who was squinting her eyes as well.

‘That again? A strange swordsmanship activated by twisting the flow of mana…’

Even though I didn’t swing the sword, a sword strike appeared in the air.

There is no cause, but the effect appears.

The blind man shown below clearly went against cause and effect.

ㅡ Kwagakak!!

Jetto, who was walking while grinding all the magic bullets floating in the air, eventually reached the bottom of Murka.

Is there no point in throwing magic bullets anymore?

Thinking so, Murka paused the attack for a while and looked down at him to see Zeto.

As he walked, his sword, which had never been swung, still had a pure white light.

The power of that light is dangerous.

Instinct told me so.

Instinctive fear inscribed in the race itself.

‘No matter how hard he is, there’s no way he’s the hero’s reincarnation…’

But the only thing worth doing was the strength of the hero.

‘…I can’t figure out who he really is.’

Soon after, Murka shook his head to empty his thoughts and opened his mouth to Jeto who was below.

“…So what more can I do? It seems your sword can’t reach this far.”

As Murka said, the 3rd chapter cast by Zeto could not go against space like the 1st chapter, so there was no power to reach Murka who was floating in the air.

As in Edward’s fantasy before, there are no comrades to intercept the floating Murka.

Zetto was just helplessly staring at Murka.

At least it seemed that way to Murka.

But Jetto was looking at the sky, not at Murka.

‘It’s about time…’

He was waiting.

For the crime of violating cause and effect, a thousand kalpas will soon be imposed on him.

Soon Jeto kicks up the ground.

Casting 2 cards at the same time, he rapidly approached Murka in the air.

‘I never imagined you would come in person…’

After all, you’re shaking hands too.

Murka, who had already gotten used to Zeto’s speed, decided to put an end to it.

Isn’t it impossible to evade Jeto, which floated in the air?

Murka gathered Magi as much as possible and aimed for Zeto.

At that moment, a light flashed in the sky.

It was a lightning strike that was the penalty in Chapter 3.

The lightning fell from the floor where Zeto was to Murka, who was directly above him.

Murka collides with lightning before he has time to react.

Who can respond at the speed of light?

Jetto didn’t react either.

I just calculated the time and got the timing right.

“Keuugh…!!!”

The shock of the lightning strike was somehow manageable, but Murka’s concentration was distracted by the completely unexpected damage.

So Zeto was able to approach Murka unhindered by the telekinesis magic.

ㅡKeying!!

Zetto’s red sword was swinging aiming at Murka’s chest.

“Mr Murka…!!!”

Albed’s cry.

In an unexpected crisis, Zeto, who was aiming for Murka, was intercepted by scattering magic bullets.

ㅡ Kwaaeng!!!!!

As Zetto swings his sword, he is intercepted by magic bullets.

Fortunately.

Thanks to this, Jeto’s sword was able to keep from reaching Murka.

But at that moment, Albed doubted his own eyes.

‘I threw it because I was in a hurry… Why was I able to hit him after I couldn’t keep up with his speed?’

A little doubt.

ㅡ Seokkuk!!!

Even though Zeto’s sword didn’t reach, Murka’s chest was cut and black blood gushed out.

Zetto made use of the number he had been saving.

As much as the moment he swung his sword, Zeto cast one, not two.

So I was able to cut down Murka through space.

However, Murka put a protective shield around his neck even when he lost his concentration.

It was so elaborate that even the weak point of the shield was packed in the opposite direction from Zeto.

So he had no choice but to aim for the heart.

“…Tsk.”

It wasn’t easy to switch directly from Chapter 2 to Chapter 3. So he had no choice but to write the easier chapter 1, and Zeto was hit by Albed’s magic bullet just as he was about to cast the third chapter.

ㅡQuarreung!!!!

A thunderclap reverberated in the sky, and at the same time the three floated in the air and fell.

This is because Murka, who was mortally wounded, could no longer float up in the air with telekinesis magic.

ㅡ Fluffy.

Soon Albed, who was falling with Murka, picks him up.

‘Did he get a deep cut in his chest? It’s not an instant death, but it will die soon…’

Albed, frowning, carefully examined the condition of Murka, who had been cut by Jeto.

‘I’ve widened the distance… But there’s no chance of winning against such an outrageous monster without Murka-sama.’

Having made that decision, Albed turned his head and checked the direction in which Zeto flew away after being hit by the magic bullet.

Because all around him was a forest, he couldn’t see it yet.

‘Is this an opportunity to preserve life?’

Albed swallowed his saliva.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t put it into practice.

He knew.

If Murka, the right-hand man of the corps leader, dies and the inability to deal with Eisel is revealed to the surface, both demons and humans will not be able to escape being chased until death.

Let’s do it instead.

The moment Albed had that thought.

ㅡTeouk.

Suddenly, Murka grabs Albed’s neck.

“…Keep…Keep… Mmm…Mr Murka…?”

Murka strangles Albed.

Instantly, the demon is pulled into the hands of Murka, who fixed Albed’s neck.

Murka couldn’t die like this.

A death like this was unacceptable.

So he made a decision.

ㅡSuddenly!

Soon, the sad sound of someone’s head being cut echoes through the forest.

***

“Ha ha… Ha ha…”

Meanwhile, Eisel, who was in the forest on the other side, was running hurriedly in the direction of Zeto.

No matter how long she waited, Murka didn’t appear. It was because she heard the sound of lightning while feeling her strangeness.

ㅡQuarreung!!!!

Another lightning strike.

‘It’s clear what’s going on over there.’

It was so bizarre that lightning fell from a dry sky.

It was in the middle of passing through a gap in the demon realm.

As she ran, she looked at the gap in the Demon Realm that was visible in the distance, at the ‘bird cage’.

‘There’s no way it’s a jetoil…’

Didn’t she push herself?

It was a place where there was no way to crawl out this fast.

Eisel thought, gasping for breath.

If Murka really is out there.

‘Then who the hell is blocking Murka over there…?’

***

“Saint…?”

She tilted her head, looking at her Bernice, where Inès had hardly moved her steps.

Soon after, Bernice starts moving her steps again.

“…Does anything happen?”

Because Bernice’s expression wasn’t particularly good today, Innes asked.

“…No, it’s nothing. It just feels like something sinister is about to happen.”

“If it’s an ominous thing…?”

“……”

Bernice, who was unable to answer, looked back for no reason.

Someone I knew was about to die.

But she didn’t want to put such curse words in her mouth.

“……”

The saintess, unable to tell lies, chose her silence.
