317 – Arena Terror (3)
From Noble mtl dot com
The [Demon’s Curse] Rune is a sacred rune that deals with curse spells.
A powerful debuff rune that can inflict status ailments such as slowing, weakness, and confusion on the target.
However, as my abilities became more diverse and my level as a holder rapidly increased, its effectiveness decreased significantly.
‘Because status abnormalities don’t have much meaning.’
The original power has become too strong, so the debuff is not having much of an effect.
It is faster and stronger to approach first and attack when the debuff is applied.
This was in a similar vein to the fact that I did not mainly use the ‘Howling’ skills registered in the [Boiling Werewolf Power] Rune.
Anyway, [Demon’s Curse] Has a particularly low level at level 7 among the runes I own.
‘Still, epic is epic.’
However, this is an epic level rune.
It shows much better performance than most normal runes of level 10 or higher.
One of them is the derived skill [Destruction of Barrier].
It is possible to completely break down a low-level barrier, and a barrier from intermediate level or higher can be penetrated like Caroline did just now.
It is natural that the time increases as the level increases.
Level 7 [Barrier Destruction] Broke through the fivefold magic barrier in exactly 10 seconds.
Blah blah blah blah
A clear gap appears in the five overlapping [Magic barriers].
[Curse of the Demon], As mentioned earlier, is a rune that deals with witchcraft.
In other words, it utilizes divine power rather than magical power.
Because of this, no matter how complicated the structure and the [Magic Barrier] Made up of high-level magic stones, a gap could be created in an instant.
Because it is not broken through with magic power in the first place.
“Wow – what on earth did you do?”
Ripley, who was watching the scene, asks in surprise.
I think it was quite surprising to see someone with such diverse abilities show such skills.
Unfortunately, there was no time to answer that question.
“Destroy… !!”
The vampire, Baron Caroline, recites a message within the barrier.
Casting the wide-area magic that was being prepared earlier.
The form is a spear of black magic.
The number is approximately twenty.
And at the same time, Kim Chae-eun, who was preparing a defensive spell here, shouts.
“Ice Wall! Double! Ultimate Frost!”
Kim Chae-eun’s specialty, [Double casting].
The defensive magic [Ice Wall] Increases its number through double casting.
A wall of ice that completely blocks the center of the stadium.
In addition, Kim Chae-eun used one additional skill inherent in [Ice Queen’s Crown].
A strange phenomenon called ‘simultaneous casting of three spells’ was unfolding, which was difficult for any high-ranking wizard to imitate.
Thanks to this, most of Caroline’s ‘black spears’, which were displayed as ultimate skills, were blocked by the wall and missed their targets.
Of course, there were spears that flew out of the walls….
“Wind Wall. Double.”
Ripley took care of the remaining attack.
Her [Beltane Spell] And [Elemental User] Runes are each at level 20.
She could do the [Double casting] Level of her defense magic with her eyes closed.
“Hmm… !!”
I didn’t just sit back and watch.
Use the [World’s Best Racehorse] To rush through the gap in the [Magic Barrier] At full speed.
A short assault is enough.
When I got within a certain distance and Caroline was caught in my field of vision.
I took out the holy sword and declared.
“Rush.”
Use [Shadow of Distortion] Without the slightest hesitation.
Anyway, this is the real world, not a dungeon.
There was only one person who left.
There was no reason to save the ultimate skill.
“…… !! Death… “
“It’s late.”
Push!
He cut off Caroline’s embarrassed words and cut her with his sword.
In an instant, black magic rushed in and created a [Black shield] Around her shoulder, but the ‘Holy Sword’, which showed extreme compatibility with the dark attribute, mercilessly tore the shield and pierced through her shoulder.
“Ah, ahhh… !!”
Screams of pain fill the stadium.
I never thought I would be attacked like this.
I could see Caroline’s eyes turning tinged with fear.
“Ugh… Dimension Warp!”
But she also had a last resort.
Although I had suspected her from the moment she first planned such a large-scale terrorist attack, she seemed to have prepared a means of escape in her own way.
Even though the arrangement of magical energy around her was distorted by [Shadow of Distortion], New magical energy gathered around her in an instant.
She tried to cancel her magic by quickly striking with the holy sword, but the intense magical energy and the reconstructed [Black Shield] Were blocking it, buying time.
If this is left as is, Caroline may run away.
‘The method… ‘There are none.’
At that moment, several ways to detain her flashed through her mind.
And among them, I chose one.
Recently acquired…
It was the ability of Hwang Seong-yeon, who is no longer dead.
“Enter the land where death has touched.”
[The Sword that Swallowed Darkness] Rune’s ultimate skill, [Boundary Bound].
A skill that releases explosive magical energy near the ground where one steps on it, shoots it to the back of the target, then grabs the target and binds it to the ground.
And then, a skill that creates 17 magic swords and inflicts additional damage on the target.
Although it cannot kill the opponent because it is for suppression, its suppression ability is close to the highest level.
It was an ability that I was helplessly defeated by Hwang Seong-yeon, and it was a deceptive power that even those with considerable skill could not block.
“Turn it off, keaaagh-?!”
Caroline screams again and falls down.
She tried to run away using a special ability called [Dimension Warp], But her feet were instantly tied and she fell to the ground.
All of her magic power had already been gathered and her skill was about to be activated, but the more intense energy of her [Her Vigilance Bondage] Canceled her skill and caused her to collapse.
An additional 17 magic swords were poured out here.
“Keu, eup…” !!”
Caroline can’t even scream properly anymore.
[Bound of Vigilance] Is a skill that cannot kill the opponent but only suppresses it, so if that condition had not existed, she would have already died instantly.
Instead, [Bound of Vigilance] Is a skill that maximizes that suppression.
Caroline, who was lying on the ground, was bound by her magic sword and could not move her body at all.
“You’ve finally become a bit calmer. Why is it so tough? “I guess it’s because he’s a vampire.”
[Shadow of Distortion] And [Boundary of Boundaries].
I used two ‘Legendary Rune Ultimate Skills’.
A skill combo that not only Caroline, but also most top holders, can withstand.
As I used her powerful abilities one after another, I was able to overpower her in an instant.
‘… The conditions were good.’
The terrorist attack was sudden, but the combat structure was good for me.
First of all, the opponent is a wizard type holder that is difficult to defend against.
And since he is a deserter who has escaped the dungeon, it is difficult for reinforcements to come.
I took advantage of those advantages and used my best skills without hesitation.
Thanks to this, I was able to subdue a Baron-level vampire in less than 30 seconds.
“Keu, eup-!!”
“Don’t struggle. “Someone will come to take you soon.”
After the failure of the Ludenarch School’s all-out attack on the current world.
A new defector who appears for the first time.
The fact that the defector is a vampire, a special spirit, and that he can use black magic by making a [Pledge of Darkness].
There were quite a few facts that needed to be investigated based on the situation that was immediately revealed.
Baron Caroline will be taken to the International Holder Association for questioning.
“Jaehyun… !”
After the situation ended like that.
Kim Chae-eun runs from far away with a worried face.
At first glance, it seemed like he communicated with high-ranking holders, evacuated the audience from the stadium, and came inside after clearing up the surroundings.
I am confident that I will definitely beat Caroline.
And the decision came from the holder’s awareness of safety.
She was now an A-level holder.
“Do Jae-hyun, what on earth are you?”
Ripley came up next to me and asked with a puzzled look on her face.
He looked dumbfounded at the sight of him breaking through the barrier and subduing a baron-level vampire in less than 30 seconds.
I smiled brightly at her.
“Your master.”
“… ….”
In that way, the arena terrorism was completely suppressed.

-The arena terror attack that terrified New Yorkers was the work of the Ludenarch School?
-The United States is no longer a safe zone! Vigilance needs to be much strengthened…
-Korean hero Do Jae-hyeon, this time saving America and New York! First move after becoming an S-class holder.
-Bill Clark, President of the International Holder Association, “We plan to award a plaque of appreciation and honorarium to Do Jae-hyun.”
The shocking arena terrorist incident has ended.
There was a disaster in which one holder and one member of the public died, but thanks to the clean follow-up process between me and the other holders, we were able to minimize casualties.
In addition, as it was revealed that the deceased victims were involved in arena match-fixing, it seems that sympathy for the victims has disappeared to some extent.
Anyway, all my plans to come to New York and have fun were ruined.
“hehehe. I’m okay.”
“Really?”
“Yes! It’s more important that people don’t get hurt. “We have about three more days.”
Fortunately, Kim Chae-eun accepted the incident with her unique positive attitude.
It was a force majeure event anyway, and it seemed like they were taking it more seriously because it was an important event that uncovered the tail of the Ludenarch School.
And it was really surprising.
There was also good news.
“You two are dating?!”
“… Hey, please speak quietly.”
“Wow, what on earth is Jinwoo Park? “When did you get the courage to confess?”
“… ….”
Park Jin-woo scratches his head in silence at that question.
It was a bit strange that he didn’t look like Park Jin-woo, but anyway, it was the sergeant that made him and Camilla start dating.
It was disappointing that our ambitiously planned double date in New York was canceled, but a result like this was something to celebrate.
“Okay. As the clan master, I command. During her vacation, she had a lot of fun with Camilla. “We’ve just started dating, so I’m going to spill the beans.”
“What are you saying? “I applied for the vacation, so why are you paying for it condescendingly?”
“I am the Ojakgyo of Love, man. “Good things are good things.”
Anyway, the first day in New York, which was quite meaningful to both Jinwoo Park and me, passed.
The next day.
I and Kim Chae-eun entered a building that was huge even from the outside.
The Clan Tower is expected to be the largest in Manhattan.
And when we entered, we were greeted with luxurious hospitality.
“Welcome, Do Jae-hyeon Holder.”
Clan work on the second day in earnest.
It was a meeting with the Clan and Liam Hendrix.
