Episode 91. Tiger Hunt (5)
Yuri and the Hopi girl faced each other in an instant.
And as soon as it started, the glass ricocheted backwards with an explosion.
bang-!
The first blow seemed to give him a fairly heavy shock, but Yuri was smiling broadly.
‘As expected, the first bread wins!’
The first attack didn’t do much damage.
However, with the first move a moment ago, I was able to pass the first sum very easily.
Even though I didn’t even use the prepared hand, even though I didn’t even use the brain wing.
Even though I’m being beaten and bounced back, the situation has never been better than now.
It would be nice if things went well like this in the future.
‘Of course it can’t be.’
Chasing after the bounced glass, the Hopi woman followed.
Her fist came in front of Yuri’s nose.
Seeing that reminded me of a double nosebleed a few days ago.
‘I don’t think I’ll get hit by the same thing!’
Parts side-.
A thunder wing was overlaid on the cloud cover.
It shimmers like a haze, and Yuri’s new model is enveloped in a thunderbolt.
Hung-.
The tiger’s fist struck Yuri’s head.
No, to be precise, it was piercing the head of the afterimage left by Yuri.
And that was the moment.
‘… … ?!’
Sensing a crisis, she hurriedly threw her head back.
side-.
A tingling pain arose in the woman’s left cheek.
widely-.
“… … .”
The Hopi girl stopped in place.
She stared blankly at the glass that was 7 meters away before she knew it and rubbed her cheek.
Then, the metal gauntlet was stained with light blood.
The eyes of the leopard girl slightly widened at this.
A smile crept across her lips as she saw her own blood.
“under?”
I couldn’t even imagine.
on this boring mission.
To be hurt by a new chick that has just entered the cradle.
The Hopi woman’s smile began to take on a cruelty.
“also… fun.”
Looking at Yuri, who was still not relaxed even though he was 7m away, the Hopi woman flicked her tongue.
A red tongue moistened his lips.
‘Let’s play a little more!’
A sharp fang was exposed.
Goosebumps rose from the back of Yuri, who was watching this.
It was a warning from the body.
‘come!’
just as expected.
Hung-.
The Hopi girl who was far away disappeared as if it were going out.
And, before I knew it, I had reached the front of the glass.
The speed is so fast that it feels like instant movement.
The other day, I was puzzled by the same number.
But now Yuri is calmer than ever.
In his head, countless numbers were already being calculated.
The eyes and subtle movements of a leopard girl.
surrounding environment.
own movement and position.
As a result, in what direction and in what way the opponent will attack.
In an extremely short moment, Yuri’s mind came to the conclusion of the optimal number of leopard girls to see.
‘left!’
Yuri spread his brain wings one step ahead.
No matter how much he read the numbers, he couldn’t follow the tiger’s movements if he didn’t have brain wings.
Parts side-.
It was an impossible move unless you were certain that your numbers would be 100% correct.
Even the slightest miscalculation would result in a useless waste of the limited number of strokes.
And fortunately, Yuri’s calculations were correct.
Span-.
The fist aiming at Yuri’s left side seemed to pass at a close interval.
Conversely, Yuri’s sword was aiming for the opponent’s neck and was flying.
The process took about 3 seconds.
If someone had seen that scene, they would probably have tilted their heads as if it was strange.
From their point of view, it must have looked like Yuri was standing up when suddenly a leopard girl appeared and took care of it in vain, and even gave up her own head.
Yuri was convinced of this.
‘This worked!’
It was such a perfect prediction that I was sure to think so.
But something that Yuri didn’t foresee.
That is, just as you have the gift of reading numbers, the opponent will also read your numbers.
Especially, the cheek has already been cut once, and the Hopi woman is caught off guard.
Recognizing Yuri as a complete adversary, she was doing her best.
Shuk-.
Kang-!
As if he knew, the gauntlet blocked the sword aimed at his neck.
At the same time, a thumb abruptly rose from the fist that had passed Yuri’s side.
If she stayed like this, her thumb would touch Yuri’s side.
‘… … ?!’
Yuri is surprised by the Hopi woman’s anomaly.
Contrary to the bewildered head, the body instinctively raised a brain wing and instantly changed its direction.
Parts side-.
‘sh*t!’
Yuri’s face hardened.
Hoesim’s sword attack aimed at the neck was completely blocked by the Hopi Girl’s gauntlet.
Another brainwave was wasted responding to a sudden anomaly.
Even though he used his brain wings like that, he couldn’t properly avoid the Hopi girl’s attack.
The tip of her thumb lightly, very lightly, brushed the side of Yuri.
As a result.
Woodeuk-.
Yuri’s impression distorted at the sharp pain that rose up.
* * *
Standing on top of a tree, Arin looked at the person facing Yuri in the clearing.
‘That’s… tiger.’
Even though they were quite far apart, the fierce momentum of the crowd made their fur stand on end.
Arin’s hard-faced mind flashed the story Yuri had said.
[Unlike a bear hunt, a tiger hunt will only take a few minutes. And it’s not that difficult for you to do. No, is it difficult?]
A difficult task that is not difficult.
Yuri’s request was one.
[You and Poppy only twice… You just need to give me two chances.]
If he did that, he said he would take care of the rest.
And he gave a warning, not a warning.
[I know you’re hiding something. me too But this time… Don’t try to hide it, do your best. If not, you won’t be able to create opportunities in any way.]
Saying that it shouldn’t be messed up.
When asked to reveal what was hidden, Poppy agreed.
However, Arin was a little unsatisfied.
‘A tiger is that much?’
At what point did the tiger ask me to open my hidden card?
However, such doubts had to be dispelled as the tiger spewed out a terrifying spirit.
‘Even if it’s this far, if it’s this far… That guy I’m facing… … .’
The energy Yuri, who is facing the tiger right now, must be several times stronger than this.
Even so, Yuri was burning his fighting spirit against the tiger.
For some reason, the image of Yuri from the back remained strangely intense in Arin’s mind.
and that moment.
The new type of glass disappeared in a blur.
bang-!
Soon human fists collided with swords, and an explosion like thunder was heard.
‘it started.’
From now on, in a few minutes everything will be decided.
And now it’s only a fleeting moment that you can get involved in that fight.
So Arin had to prepare for that moment.
‘You want me to bring out everything I’m hiding?’
Shuk-.
She took out an arrow and held it up.
‘I’ll do that if you want.’
Then he closed his eyes and sighed briefly.
“The Pursuit.”
Arin’s voice was short and small, but strangely buzzing.
She lightly put her lips on the arrowhead.
OK.
Ugh-.
A pale ivory light lingered on the arrow.
Arin immediately put an arrow on the string.
The extreme-.
The bow rod stretched to its limit screamed.
The blue eyes watching the fierce fight taking place in the clearing aimed at the moment.
two eyes wide open.
slow breathing.
The moment when you feel as if the world has stopped.
‘now!’
A white hand let go of the bowstring.
Push-!
A light-filled arrow was shot.
* * *
‘Kuh, the ribs are out!’
It’s just that my fingertips are lightly brushed.
It seemed that one of his ribs had been slightly cracked.
If it was just a little too late to avoid it, it wouldn’t have ended to the point of cracking.
I cracked my ribs like that, but the real crisis started now.
‘Posture!’
Yuri’s posture was disturbed by the sudden irregularity, but the Hopi girl seemed to be going to continue the next attack right away.
Yuri, who was not ready for the next move, hurriedly opened his brain.
Parts side-.
‘It’s already the 4th.’
Now, there is only one brain wing left.
I had to use the brain wing, which was to be used once and for all, as an attack, not simply for evasion, but the situation was not easy.
‘aperture… If only there was a slight gap.’
little gap.
The moment when a very small opportunity became so desperate.
Shuk-.
An arrow tinged with ivory light appeared.
As if it had moved instantaneously, an arrow suddenly appeared between Yuri and the Leopard girl.
‘uh?’
‘… … ?!’
In the slow flow of time.
Yuri and the tiger girl made a puzzled expression at the same time.
That would be the case, because the arrow seemed to pass between them without any purpose whatsoever.
However, it was in an instant that the puzzled look on his face changed to amazement.
The extreme-.
The arrow moved.
No, this was not something that could be simply described as moving.
that… … .
‘An arrow… Are you bending?’
The arrow, which was flying normally, was bent as if someone was grabbing it and bending it.
It was a truly absurd sight.
An arrow that was flying well suddenly bent?!
And this happened because the arrowhead suddenly changed its direction, and the arrowhead couldn’t keep up with the change of direction.
Geuggeuk-!
In the end, the arrow was bent in the form of ‘ㄱ’.
The arrow, which seemed to pass between Yuri and the Hopi girl, gradually slowed down and became almost stationary, and finally… … .
Pang-!
The arrow, which had been bent in the shape of a ‘ㄱ’, straightened straight out and flew in the direction indicated by the arrowhead.
Of course, the target of the arrowhead is of course… … .
“… … ?!”
It was a Hopi girl.
Even if she’s probably the one who’s been through all the prenatal battles.
It would be the first time that an arrow breaks in an ‘a’ shape and flies in front of your eyes.
Naturally embarrassed by this absurd situation, she reached out to grab the arrow.
At this, Yuri’s eyes flashed.
‘opportunity!’
I could tell who created this opportunity without thinking deeply.
I wanted to give a thumbs up to where Arin was.
But more than that, it was thousands of times more important to take advantage of this golden opportunity that Arin created.
Kwadeuk-.
The moment the Hopi girl snatched the arrow that was aiming for her chest and threw the harpoon out of her hand.
Parts, parts, parts -.
Yuri’s brain wings, which had been raised to the highest level immediately, fluctuated violently.
At the same time, Yuri, who had even spread her sword, swung her sword aiming for a gap.
The target is the right breast of the leopard girl.
Yu-ri was delighted when she saw the leopard girl who seemed to be still standing still.
‘It’s reached!’
A gap made by Arin.
Aiming for that gap, his sword finally reached the Hopi woman.
This must have been a fatal wound.
and 1 second later.
Cagan-!
The positions of Yuri and Hopi were mixed.
Two people who turned their backs on each other.
Small drops of blood dripped from Yuri’s sword.
The blood was not Yuri’s.
If so, it’s clear that the attack went well.
However, Yuri’s face was hardened.
He even spat out a small curse.
“… Yem disease.”
It was also because the feeling of being caught on the tip of the sword was strange.
“hmm… this.”
Yuri turned her back at the sound she heard from behind.
Only then did Yuri know what the strange feeling was at the tip of the sword.
A torn top that started from the waist of the woman’s chest and reached her shoulders.
Between them, a solid iron breastplate appeared.
