254 – Reunion (1)
[The contract is successful! ‘Hatten (-/Special)’ is added to the list of contract targets for the ‘Valkyrie’s Horse’ rune. Since the name has already been confirmed, a new name cannot be given. Unusual contracts partially limit the contractor’s abilities.]
[Current contract monster list (2/2)]
[I made a contract with a long-time friend of mine that was temporarily forgotten. The traces of years spent fighting with them will rapidly increase your understanding of runes.]
[The level of the ‘Valkyrie’s Horse’ rune has increased.]
[Acquires 5 leadership points based on the rune’s disposition.]
Pulien clan, Hatten.
This is the second contract obtained after Atsuta Jingu’s ‘Nine-Tailed Fox’.
In fact, Gumiho was not a very attractive contractor in this melee.
Because it was a monster whose abilities and rune settings were focused on magic, it was most effective when attacking from afar and inflicting a large number of status ailments, and it was also not suitable for avoiding enemies that attacked at random.
On the other hand, Hatten is a race born for close combat.
It was originally a monster that was good at hand-to-hand combat even when it was a werewolf, but now that it has turned into a wolf, it goes without saying.
The sharply forged teeth and claws were enough to tear down enemies, and as a wolf, its speed and strength were further enhanced through contracts, making it comparable to an awakened lycan.
A stronger contractor optimized for close combat.
The owner who got on it was an archer.
In the current melee situation, it was the combination that could most effectively break through the battlefield.
Awww-!!
Pushii-
Kaang! Kaaang!!
Ku, quagga gaga-!!
Arrows with an appropriate combination of magic and physical power rain down.
And a wolf roaming freely above it.
The warriors of the Barathen camp also widened their eyes at the sight of these hero-like figures who appeared out of nowhere.
“That…” “What?”
“Hateen and the human archer together… !!”
“Mountain archers, no, mounted archers!!”
In fact, attention is bound to be focused.
Haten and Moon Ga-eun suddenly appeared, shooting without hesitation here and there on the battlefield and ruthlessly stepping on the enemies…
I couldn’t go without being noticed.
Haten used the advantage of his wolf form to bite and tear at enemies at high speed, while Moon Ga-eun constantly shot arrows from above, supporting and finishing off his allies.
Valkyries and the Pulien clan on the battlefield.
The two entities’ chemistry was better than expected, and Moon Ga-eun skillfully continued the fight even though the movements were quite rough and intense.
‘Hate, take it back when I come down!’
-Okay!
In particular, the highlight was when the enemy army became too numerous during the battle.
As the enemy wolves outnumbered each other and came close to surrounding them…
Moon Ga-eun leaped from Hatten, ascended to the sky, and shot an arrow in the air to eliminate enemies.
Moon Ga-eun falls to the ground as soon as the numbers are properly organized.
Hatten jumps on her and burns her again.
Breathing and movement that is close to fantasy.
It was an appearance that could be seen as the ‘highlight of a mounted battle.’
“Wow, wow…” .”
“Hey, we can win! “We can win too!”
“Let’s fight! Warriors, let’s wake up and fight!!”
And the mysterious gaze of our allies towards them…
It suddenly turned into passion and stimulated the warriors of Barathen.
The Lycans, who had been consistent on the defensive, began to advance little by little.
Furthermore, as Moon Ga-eun’s performance loosened their grip, they also had no hesitation in transforming into wolf form.
There is no longer a need to just defend like before.
Suddenly increased morale and hope that it can be done.
All of Barathen’s warriors awakened into wolf form and attempted a counterattack.
-Master, your horseback riding skills are truly excellent. The enemies are losing their senses!
‘I’ve ridden on people who are rougher and cooler than you.’
-… Riding a person?
‘Yes. And can you please stop calling me ‘master’ because it’s disgusting?’
-No, I call you master. Then what do you say?
Haten and Moon Ga-eun show off their outstanding performance with an unexpected combination.
The right side area was also struggling.
A turnaround was finally achieved.
* * *
Awww-!!
Quang- Quagga River-!!
‘There are so many of them.’
I clicked my tongue as I continued to defeat the pack of wolves mixed with Jürgen and Lycan.
There are many.
There are too many.
Generally speaking, it would have been much more convenient to fight in the city and defend it, but there was a reason why they brought their entire army and raided us.
Overwhelming difference in number of troops.
I already knew this, but when I saw it with my own eyes and body, I could clearly feel the disadvantage.
The number of Lycans that emerged from the ground was limited to 8, but since then, wolves have continued to invade friendly territory from the front area.
“Do Jae-hyeon, are you okay?”
Tak-
During the hectic fight, he turns back to Enrichten, ‘Tol Baraten’, who was fighting alongside him.
He was following the traces I had run from earlier and leading our troops from the front area.
“I have no problem. “What happened to our troops who left the operation?”
Before the enemy raid begins.
The operation we planned in anticipation of this situation.
A separate unit strategy to leave the barracks, circle the battlefield, and cut off the enemy’s rear supply route.
Enrichten’s voice as he answered this was bright.
“Schilten, who led the detachment, sent a signal. It’s a huge success. “If we can withstand this all-out war, the war will probably be in our favor even if the Kalak guys go back.”
From Noble mtl dot com
It was a welcome sound when I heard it.
Schilten doubted me and had some trouble with me, but his skills were trustworthy.
The operation was a success and the road was cleared.
Now then….
“We just have to hold on.”
“That’s the biggest problem.”
“Puh-uh, don’t die.”
The enemy’s troops have no end in sight, no matter how many times you kill them.
If only we could endure them…
We were able to win not only this battle but also the war.
After I finished my brief conversation with Enrichten.
I immediately ran forward again.
The thing in his hand is [Claw Short Sword], And the martial skill he uses is [Plum Blossom Sword Technique].
‘A short sword is more efficient than a sword.’
Using a sword allows you to kill enemies more reliably.
Anyway, my main physical attack right now is swordsmanship, and the sword’s utility and application are also much better than other weapons.
But now, it was more important to inflict a wide range of shallow blows rather than inflicting strong blows on the enemy.
Because the current situation is a many-to-many battle.
Because I don’t hunt alone.
There are rear personnel to assist with my attacks and movements, and there are allies to finish me off when I cause damage.
In particular, since all the enemies were in the form of agile wolves, the shorter the reach, the better to match their speed.
Awww-!!
Kang! Kang! Kagang-!
Fortunately, that judgment was correct.
[Maehwa Sword Technique], Which specializes in continuously moving and hunting enemies, was very effective in hunting multiple enemies.
In addition, the body is strengthened with [Warriors’ Strengthening Art], And the power of attacks increases thanks to [Silver Moon Shadow].
Even without using any special skills, it was inflicting damage on the enemies.
Still, if I felt like it wasn’t enough, I strengthened the attack by mixing in [Deadly Poison] Or [Force of the Explosive Sword].
Can- Kagan-
Kaga River- Kaga River-!!
I moved without stopping.
‘Faster. ‘Stronger.’
Swings the short swords in an almost trance-like posture.
The herbivorous techniques of [Plum Blossom Sword Technique] Taught by Master Yu Eun-seol are deeply engraved in my body.
Although it is not as fancy as her [Snow Plum Blossom] Or the original martial arts [Twenty-Four Plum Blossom Sword Technique], The herbivores that I understood and perfected formed another area of their own and guided my body.
Cut, cut, stab, cut.
Stab, cut, cut again.
The two small swords felt so free in my palms and fingertips.
Sometimes in reverse, sometimes in straight posture.
It felt like my hands were going to explode from constantly moving the short swords, but I continued the attack without wavering at all.
What can I say about that?
It was as if the world stopped…
I felt like I was moving alone.
And finally.
[I discovered the secret to the ultimate skill! The passing wind and falling flower petals… There is a beauty in your swordsmanship that is difficult to express. Movements that no one has ever used unfold within you.]
[The ultimate skill of the ‘Plum Blossom Sword Technique’ rune, ‘Aesthetics of Falling Flowers’ was created. If you implement this 5 times in the future, it will be registered as an official ultimate skill. The rune used in the skill is ‘Warriors’ Strengthening Art.’ You can only use this skill if you have the relevant rune.]
I was also able to gain insight that I had never imagined.
‘… ‘Ultimate skill?’
Creation of the ultimate skill.
This is something that only those who have practiced martial arts for at least 10 years can do.
Only geniuses among geniuses can do it, but among them, only those who are lucky can do it.
That happened to me too.
A rune made from the deteriorated version of [Twenty Four Plum Blossom Sword Technique], [Plum Blossom Sword Technique].
Of course, since it wasn’t an official martial arts skill, I didn’t have the proper skills, and the herbal skills themselves were clunky…
It seems like this sword technique came to me and was interpreted in a completely new way.
I raised my physical support to the limit through the [Warrior’s Enhancement Art] Rune, and thanks to that, I was able to swat countless wolves with my small sword.
The attack that went into it was fast.
Its power was by no means light.
‘Say it again.’
After digging into the enemy lines in a very short period of time.
An effect that causes powerful damage by scraping everything off.
The ultimate skill [Aesthetics of Falling Flowers] Was an area-based skill in the form of a physical attack.
‘I created the ultimate skill…’ .’
Honestly, I was dumbfounded because something so unexpected happened.
[Pasang Cheongeom] Made by Master Tak Won-ho or [Yusu Hwalgeom] Made by Master Myeong-hyeon Kim.
I couldn’t believe that I, too, had created such an ultimate skill accumulated through years of experience and know-how.
Awww-!!
Boom! Quagga-!!
But there was no time to appreciate it.
Even if the ultimate skill was created, it was still unfinished and could not be used, and it was not enough to completely end this battle.
The priority was to deal with the enemies that were coming immediately.
“…… ?!”
But then.
Between the enemies Lycan and Jurgen.
I felt a very familiar yet ominous energy.
Feeling completely human, different from the wolves around him.
It seems like countless people have been killed so far…
The magic power of a dark and destructive force.
‘Arm replacement surgery… !’
I immediately changed my weapon to [Confessor’s Sword].
And with a firm grip on the hand…
He turned his body as if spinning and swung his sword.
Kaaang-!!
An intense metallic sound is heard as swords collide.
And.
“Really… “It was a fun meeting, Do Jae-hyun.”
“Hwang Seong-yeon… !!”
A person still being tracked in the Holder world.
Former assistant master of And the worst criminal in Korea.
The person who drove me to death a while ago…
A man believed to be an S-class holder.
Hwang Seong-yeon was crossing swords in front of my eyes.
