Episode 49 – What is that?
49. What is that?
Leon set off toward the starting point, the southwest hilly area.
The area we passed on the way was still unclaimed.
Of course, Class A passed by, devouring them cleanly.
About 1 to 2 hours pass.
The flags of two grade 2 zones and four grade 3 zones were able to be changed to red.
Weapons from the 2nd grade area have no defense and only slightly increase athletic ability.
And the items coming out of the level 3 area were mainly consumable items such as potions.
I took care of everything, and it wasn’t bad.
Next to the warm flag that has just been blooming in the level 3 area.
Leon and his group were taking a break.
There were some cadets who drank mana recovery potions.
There was also a cadet checking the armament.
A hot wind, closer to summer than spring, passed by their faces.
The 6-hour sun in the sky had now crossed the center line and was falling down.
“Hmm…”
Leon was examining the two daggers he obtained here.
‘It’s okay.’
I really liked the fact that it sticks well to the hand.
The length of the blade is about a span.
It can also be used for throwing.
The weight, strength, and shape of the blade were also the type that Leon liked.
Pingrrr-
Two daggers danced beautifully on both of Leon’s hands.
Why is there a sudden interest in things like daggers?
‘It’s perfect to use later at night.’
Due to the nature of assassination that emphasizes agility and stealth, the most convenient weapon to use is a dagger.
Leon, who was interested in the art of assassination, had been consistently training in the art of daggers.
After acquiring the talent of the sword, his skills improved dramatically.
In short, I am confident.
It was at that time when Leon put the dagger in his waist and arms.
Passasak.
“······!”
A faint, subtle sound of grass grazing.
At first glance, it was so weak that it seemed like it was swaying in the wind.
It was a clear pretense of popularity.
Chaeng!
Leon opened his mouth at the same time as he kicked.
“Ready for battle!”
At the same time as he finished speaking, five of Leon’s heads rose up from over the hill to his left.
They started running without hiding their presence.
The face of the woman standing in the lead looked familiar to Leon.
Slim and sturdy body.
Slightly tied brown medium hair and soft eyes.
Jeniel Sovereign was the representative of Class J.
Five martial artists, leading her, charge at her with the momentum of a bull.
“What is that?”
Leon laughed and kicked the ground.
Even if some personnel were removed to guard the area.
There are thirteen people here, including myself.
What kind of confidence do they have to rush into a car with more than twice the number of people?
“······!?”
However.
Leon widened his eyes when he saw the items that the Class J cadets had taken out of their pockets.
Black outer shell, circuit engraved on the outside.
Even the circular pattern engraved on the lid.
Because it was a familiar object, Leon was able to recognize its identity at a glance.
Sigh!
A sphere the size of a stone flew from their fingertips with a booming sound.
At the feet of Class A cadets.
“San dog!!!”
“””······!”””
One word came out of Leon’s mouth.
The cadets threw their bodies left and right or backwards.
The fact that they were able to respond so surprisingly quickly to that momentary command could only be explained as the result of training and repetition.
Soon, a sphere fell where they were standing.
aaang-!!!
The condensed mana exploded and a violent explosion occurred.
My ears suddenly stopped working due to binge drinking.
The ground turned over and weeds and dirt rose into the air.
Due to the impact, the cadets’ new models were stretched out in the same direction they were launched.
The mana force field surrounding the bracelet artifact was shattered.
Thanks to this, I was able to avoid any damage to my body.
“······Crazy, where did you get the mana bomb?”
Leon, who had rolled forward, raised his upper body and spat out.
Of course, it seems to be a model with very low explosive power.
Still, it was powerful enough to send three or three people to the goal.
“hahahaha! Leon, hello!”
With cheerful laughter.
A feeling of coolness on the forehead.
Leon quickly put his head back.
Paang!
His fist popped out where his head was.
The bandaged fist was covered with a leather glove with a stud on it.
“As expected, it’s fast.”
Jeniel smiled brightly and withdrew her hand.
Her turquoise eyes widened beautifully.
“······.”
It was an urgent situation to say something like usual.
Leon’s energy quickly looked around.
The Class A cadets are struggling as they have not yet escaped the aftermath of the explosion.
Four Class J martial artists rush at them.
Other than that, there was no other sign of capture.
‘I should get out.’
Leon made a quick decision.
There is no way there are 5 people here.
Our allies in other areas will also be under attack by now.
Wouldn’t it be great if it were a head-to-head match?
If we waged a guerrilla war using mana bombs, this side was at a disadvantage.
‘I told you to jump as soon as you see something, so you won’t die.’
It wasn’t set up to protect the area, it was set up for simple security purposes.
Even if you get hit by a bomb, you won’t be hit right away because there is a mana field.
‘After everyone gathers, strike at once.’
To do that, the first thing to do was to knock down the bull in front of her.
“You have a lot on your mind?”
Jeniel was looking for a loophole in Leon with her beast-like eyes.
“Come in?”
As he said that, Leon went in first.
Tap, knock!
Step left and right, shake once, then rush to the right.
Jeniel’s shoulders began to move as if she was trying to counter at the right timing.
Leon immediately turned to the left and accelerated once more.
Sigh!
His new form tore through the air, leaving a blurry afterimage behind.
“Inhale!”
Jeniel’s response was quick.
While spinning his body like a top, he delivered a front kick towards Leon’s face.
A kick with added rotational force was fired in the direction Leon was charging.
With just a passing blow, his entire skull would be shattered.
Bam!!
A loud noise erupted.
It wasn’t the sound of Leon’s head cracking.
It was a noise made when the ground he was stepping on caved in.
Finally, Leon, who accelerated to maximum speed, was able to escape Jeniel’s sight for an instant.
“······!”
Right? Left? Back?
Jeniel’s eyes were tearing open.
Rather than looking for her opponent, she first surrounded her entire body with mana and solidified it.
Then, following her instincts, she swung her arms.
Wow!
From Noble mtl dot com
Right.
Her forearm, clad in self-defense gear, collided with the Cheonsaegeom.
“······You filmed it, right?”
“Yes.”
Answering confidently, Jeniel dug deep into his body.
Good sensitivity.
Leon clicked her tongue and stepped on her heavenly spirit beam, bypassing her as if brushing past her.
It was less than 10 seconds since the attack took place.
Some of the Class A cadets seemed to be giving up.
This is because the enemy is persistently attacking the few who were directly hit by the explosion.
‘I’ll finish it this time.’
With a promise, Leon rushed towards Jeniel once again.
Tap, Tak-
As before, step left and right.
Boom!
But this time, the opponent quickly kicked the ground.
As soon as I get to close range, I draw my sword from bottom to top.
The first form of Jecheon Geombeop (制天劍法), Yeomyeong (黎明).
Sweet!
The swordsman, embodying the art of good fortune, drew a diagonal line in the air, leaving only a faint beam of light.
“How many times have you seen it?”
Jeniel had a good sense of perspective.
Just by looking at Leon’s movements, she knew what technique he was going to use and started to point it at the expected path.
Jjaeng!
Once again, the blade was blocked by the fist.
Of course.
This was what Leon intended.
If she had written her first expression sincerely, she wouldn’t have even noticed she was writing the technique.
The sword and the fist are in contact.
Leon’s left hand entered her chest, then jumped out.
His arm waved in the air, drawing a short arc.
Pararak!
“······!”
Jeniel then realized that Leon was holding the sword with only one hand.
She was using both her hands to block her sword strikes.
Poobuk!
Two daggers were stuck on both of her shoulders.
Good!
The other one cut deeply into my temple.
If I hadn’t turned my head reflexively, it would have gotten stuck between my eyes.
“It feels really good. Avoid that again?”
Leon, who was muttering, was kicking her hard in the abdomen.
Boo!
I kicked my stomach and it felt like I was kicking a rock.
The bodies of martial artists are stronger than you can imagine.
If I hadn’t loaded the mana, my ankle would have definitely broken.
“Whoosh!”
Jeniel, who was hit in the solar plexus, flew backwards with a groan.
Blood spurted out from her face, which turned red.
If you hit the right spot, your body won’t feel tired.
Now was the time to jump.
“Retreat, retreat!”
Shouting, Leon scattered sword energy at the enemies who were beating up his allies, creating an opening for them.
“Going to the meeting point!”
In preparation for situations like this, there was an area where we had arranged a meeting place in advance.
Class A began to pant and withdraw.
“Do you think we’ll catch everything if we just fight?”
While playing with his feet, Pierre asked a question.
Of course it is.
The follow-up team of Class J may come to provide support.
If you fight with them for no reason, your allies on the other side could get swept away.
Instead of summarizing this and talking about it point by point.
“······.”
Leon gave me a look.
Nod.
Pierre immediately lowered his head.
