-Are you surprised? Didn’t I just say I was defending?
Yes, it was.
Looking at the cracked land, if you’re not careful for a moment, you might go to the underworld and reunite with King Yeomra.
Two more left though.
You only need to succeed twice.
Stepping on footsteps, she quickly closed the distance with Luciel.
I swung a tree branch, but this time I couldn’t feel it either.
Blink again.
It seems that he decided to fight in a hit-and-run fashion, perhaps because he was beaten so badly at first.
Still, I couldn’t continue to use Blink, so I thought that if I waited, an opportunity would come.
But after a while, I realized that something was wrong.
It feels like it’s been 20 minutes, but Luciel uses Blink continuously and attacks by appearing and disappearing repeatedly.
Blink, which teleports a short distance, is not a magic that can be used at all.
I’m a swordsmanship teacher, but I know that Blink has to do calculations, not just use mana to move where it can be seen.
There was a delay and it was normal to be able to predict the location to some extent with the flow of mana, but Luciel had no such restrictions at all.
Besides, I gave them distance at first, but after they almost touched me 10 minutes ago, they only shoot magic from a distance.
I thought it was worth it because I easily won the first point, but it’s really frustrating.
No, isn’t it too mean to say that magic is not the main force?
I think the fact that I cut off my arm in the first place raised my awareness too much.
I think if I had focused on defense and seized the gap and counterattacked, I would have easily filled it three times… .
Well, that doesn’t mean the situation is very hopeless.
At least, the pattern of shooting magic from a distance is simple and easy to block.
However, I am the one who ends up at a disadvantage if we fight attrition like this.
Luciel, who uses Blink and magic bullets, will consume more energy than I do, but Luciel, the guardian of the demon tree, can draw magic from the demon tree.
Of course, in order to save my energy and mental strength as much as possible, I refrain from attacking as much as possible, and avoid what I can avoid as much as possible.
My internal energy is also recovering naturally.
However, if the speed at which my inner energy recovers is the electricity that I gather by solar heat, Luciel’s side is no different from nuclear power generation.
Quaang-.
He hit the flying magic bullet and sent the branch flying away.
As before, Luciel disappeared, but it doesn’t matter.
―Why throw the weapon? give up?
At the same time, Luciel appeared.
Giving up is bullsh*t. I twisted the branch that had been flying in vain towards Luciel.
It rotates and emits strong air.
Luciel disappeared again, but hundreds of thousands of strong air fragments filled the space and started to explode.
Quaang-! Quaang-! Quaang-!
A version of the Sword of the Heavenly Demon Sword, the Meteor Explosion Demon River, and the Sword.
It feels like half of the internal energy in the danjeon has disappeared in an instant.
The Yii Sword is also a Yii Sword, but it is too inefficient to make a strong weapon out of wood.
Actually, I was going to use this as a special move when I had one last shot left, but… It was so frustrating that I couldn’t help it.
It disappeared along the way, but a bloody feather fell where it was.
“Now there is only one left.”
I thought maybe I could fill both times, but unfortunately, I quickly picked up a branch from the floor in preparation for a counterattack.
* * *
White blood dripped at the tips of the wings, but the pain was not great.
Because it’s really just a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of
If you use regeneration magic, it will return to its original state in no time.
Is that guy really human?
The attack just before was of a type I had never seen before in my life.
I still don’t understand how he even cut off my arm in the first place.
Although I was careless, the branches of the demon tree really had no effect.
In addition, he had magical powers wrapped around his arms to cut down branches… .
“Now there is only one left.”
I was very excited.
At this rate, I might really allow three attacks.
Did you just have to trust me?
Like that guy said, if the demon king attacks again while I’m injured, it’s really dangerous… .
“I don’t know who is testing whom. Isn’t that enough to change the rules? If you hit me three times, I will acknowledge you.”
decided.
I didn’t intend to put all my effort into this, trying to control the filthy demon that was still trying to devour me, but I couldn’t stand it.
Cheeky human bastard. Who dares tell you that your face is ugly?
It sucked the magic of the demon beast and released all the wild magic.
The feeling of dirty magic spreading through the body is the worst, but on the contrary, it overflows with power.
“one.”
At the same time as I spoke, I moved behind him with Blink and punched him.
bang-.
“Without hitting, what… 100 million!”
It flies to the other side, but it feels like the shock wasn’t delivered properly at the end as if he slightly bent down.
Does not matter.
“Two.”
I used Blink again towards him.
Quaang-! Wooddeuk-.
I aimed for the stomach, but this time he twisted and hit me in the shoulder.
Still, there was a feeling for sure.
“Generation.”
Swoop-.
Maybe because he kept talking to me, this time he swings a tree branch with his other arm.
stupid child.
“That’s your alter ego.”
At the same time as he spoke, he once again kicked the guy’s leg from behind.
Wooddeuk-.
With the sound of bones breaking, he collapses as it is.
“Being arrogant to someone who is a lowly human being.”
I was thinking of finishing it, but a tree branch flew in and I immediately used Blink to avoid it.
Even in a situation like this, to fight back is as high as mental strength, but looking at it now, the speed is absurdly slower than before.
Thinking he used Blink for no reason, I threw a magic bullet at him.
Quaang-!
A thick layer of dust rises, and he is nowhere to be seen.
The moment I thought I had escaped with that kind of body condition, I felt an unusual energy from behind.
When I turned my head, the branches of the tree rotated as before and spewed Aura Blades.
“Stupid guy.”
Did you think you’d get hit twice by the same attack?
I already made a barrier.
* * *
– Stupid boy.
I used all my remaining strength to use the Heavenly Demon Sword’s Five Meteor Detonation Demon Steel, but a black barrier formed around it.
The strong air fragments hit the barrier, but it doesn’t even get scratched.
I thought that if I fought head-on, I would be able to attack at least once, but I was completely mistaken.
Against Luciel, who spread eight wings, which he hadn’t shown even once in the original work, he couldn’t follow his movements at all.
It really only needs to be done once… .
The body feels like it’s about to break.
My right shoulder and leg are already numb,
It was a miracle that he had just dodged the magic bullet.
It has no weapon, but even if it does, it is in the worst state, unable to wield or move.
This is the end… No, it can’t be.
There is still a way.
It’s a technique that I’ve never succeeded in even under normal conditions, but now I have to do it. No, you can.
Because I made a promise
Dear Minha, I will take responsibility for everything.
I will give the best present to my classmates too.
can never give up
* * *
Swoop-.
Although it is a tree branch, the moment it touches the rock, the rock is gently cut off as if the head is being cut.
“Is this enough success? I didn’t write my inner skills.”
Tree branches that have been strengthened with the conviction that they will never break will not break, but they have no cutting power unless additional sword or sword skills are added.
However, if you add the will to cut anything in a strengthened state, you can even have this cutting power.
“I have eyes too, you bastard.”
“Success, right?”
“what… It’s not perfect yet, but I’d say that’s enough.”
“Well, if the student did well, please praise him for doing well. What is ‘You can do that’?”
“I wasn’t going to say anything for fear that your timid fellow might be disappointed, but touch it here.”
The place Master pointed at was the cross section of the rock.
When I touch it, it is mostly smooth, but there are some rough edges.
“It goes beyond these little things. But anyway, isn’t cutting cutting cutting?”
“Tsk tsk! I do not reflect… . Well, well done.”
“Finally, you have surpassed the master.”
“What kind of sh*t is that?”
“Didn’t Master say that he realized double thoughts at the age of twenty-seven? I am twenty-six this year.”
“I don’t have much to say. I enlightened myself, and you taught me, but beyond anything!”
“Someone seems to have said in the past that it is the duty of a teacher to congratulate a disciple without envy… .”
“Don’t be cocky. The next step is never easy.”
“There are things I haven’t told Master yet, but actually three of them are possible. It’s not as perfect as the two, but I think with a little practice it will be fine.”
“Hmph, who said there were three next steps? If you’ve mastered redundancy, you should be able to do that.”
“Then what is your gap? Your dog seems to be having a hard time.”
“How can you think so one-dimensionally? The next step is not to increase the number of intentions applied simultaneously. I will show you, so take a good look.”
I got it and looked at the master intently, but nothing happened.
“What are you doing?”
“Well, there’s no way you can feel this at your level. Look at the rock you just cut.”
Why is the rock suddenly… . Nonsense! what’s this?
I was really surprised.
The rock that I had cut into two just a moment ago had become four before I knew it.
“How did you do it?”
“Don’t look at me, look at the rock again.”
“Yes?”
I looked at the rocks, but this time there are eight.
What the hell is it?
Master didn’t move or make a sound.
“If your will reaches its extreme, you can become a sword with just your will without any medium.”
“You say you use your thoughts without a mediator? Will that happen?”
Could it be the sword of the heart?
heart sword. In martial arts novels, it is a skill used by really great masters, and it is a sword that cuts people with only the heart.
“Simgeom? did you come up with it? Its name isn’t bad either, but the name of this is Intangible Sword.”
* * *
Quaang-!
After blocking the last strong wind, I looked down and saw that the guy didn’t move with his eyes closed.
Did you pass out?
I think it’s like that, but it’s amazing that you’re fighting back like this when you’re not in good health.
If I hadn’t done my best, I would have allowed the third attack.
I was about to finish, but I slowly descended.
Even though he couldn’t make it through the third attack, the skill he showed was more than expected.
The face isn’t my taste, but it’s not to the point of being uncomfortable to look at. The moment I thought about trusting him, he opened his eyes.
Didn’t you faint? Well, it doesn’t matter. The barrier hasn’t been released yet, and he doesn’t even have a weapon anymore.
Above all, it makes no sense to rebel against me in such a state.
“count… third time. Keep your promise.”
After talking, my eyes closed again, as if I had really fainted.
I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.
Suddenly three times
“Do you think I will fall under the same attack twice? Your last attack failed. not three times… .”
I couldn’t finish talking.
I thought he had let go of his mind from the shock of defeat, but I was wrong.
Hundreds of strands of hair are blown away by the wind.
Nonsense. How could this be?
It didn’t move at all and I couldn’t feel anything.
Even the barrier didn’t feel any shock… .
“you… What the hell is it?”
