“Nice to meet you. I am the head of all secondary schools, a supernova in the host world, a tailor-made tutor, a facilitator of meetings, a legend of the pickpocket machine, and a gambler who never loses. He is the idol of children, a good caretaker, and a magician who shines with a criminal record.”
A wonderful self-introduction, if you look at each one, it's trivial. All based on true story. Even if you want to overpack, you have nothing to do.
Wolfen, who had guessed my identity, nodded slowly.
“magician. I've heard of it. He's a thug that comes down from the back alleys legendary.”
“It’s embarrassing.”
“Looking at what even the shadows couldn’t find, I thought it wasn’t Heo Myung… .”
Life wasn't wasted The Tantalus jailbreaker heard my name.
In any case, rumors are like shadows or echoes, so they tend to inflate. Will Wolfen overestimate my skills?
“It’s weird. In the days of Bonn, legends were not so easily given nicknames. But the military was a country lacking in mysteries to the point where even ordinary criminals had to venerate it.”
Pretending to be praised?
I'm sorry, but if you fight with trash talk, you fight 100 times and lose 100 times. If it was a world where words were fought, I would be the only God.
Somewhere, I'll show you the mind-reader's mind digging.
“I feel weird too. I thought that the shadows of the kingdom might sound a little rude, but they were still the ones who had a lot of fun.”
Having said that, he sighed heavily and muttered as if disappointed.
“Surely, even in Tantalus, you are a rat with the tail curled and pulled out. It's too out of shape to put the brand of the Tantalus Jail Breaker. So where can I go to brag that I escaped from Tantalus?”
Are you trying to deal with me with provocation? It was far away Mind-reading is a good ability to win favors, but it's better to arouse hostility.
When I mentioned Tantalus, Wolfen heard the unexpected story and asked, raising his eyes slightly.
“… Do you know about Tantalus?”
“I’ve been there once, how could I not know?”
Oh, yes. If you look at it, you can say that over there is my senior.
I replied with a brief salute to the old man who had been imprisoned in Tantalus first.
“Nice to meet you, senpai. Tantalus 2nd inmate. I lived in peace in Tantalus, where you were not, and after about three months I broke the abyss and escaped from prison. He was fine, but how did you happen to have been imprisoned for close to 20 years?”
“… Too much bluff. Is surviving the communist Tantalus something to be proud of?”
“Does it really look like a bluff?”
Be scared. Be afraid of my bluffs. The more I become a monster within you, the more powerful I will become.
I walked side to side lightly as if walking. He drew as much time as possible with meaningless steps, and chose words that arouse Wolfen's curiosity.
“Have you ever faced the Black Knight of the founder Tirkanzaka? Have you ever quarreled with the dog king? Did you resurrect an immortal who had been left with torn limbs and hang there when Jiseon turned the ground upside down?”
don't tell lies However, even if it is true, it does not mention anything that is too vain. as it is likely to happen anywhere.
If the other person's imagination does not reach, bluffing is just a floating cloud. If I were to say that I put a skewer in Tirkanzaka's heart and hit Jiseon in the back of the head, I'd only doubt it.
'The founder, the immortal, the king of beasts. things that were in the abyss. the story… It's not even the same. Only those who have seen it will know that the magician tore the limbs of the undead.'
Judgment was quick. Wolfen admitted that I had visited Tantalus. At the same time, he raised the boundaries of me and began to focus on my every move.
However, I did not intend to run away without the tail.
Although Wolfen had stupid subordinates, he wasn't as stupid as he thought.
'As long as we face each other, we cannot avoid a fight. In any case.'
okay. I expected it to be like this.
From a rational point of view, the correct answer is to fight face-to-face. Even if I was bluff, I had to fight to reveal it, and even if it wasn't bluff, I had to resist with all my might.
Even if it's not necessarily like that, he's a person who is confident in his abilities, so he won't lower his tail just because he's afraid.
'An opponent you have to face once for the hegemony of the back alley anyway.'
Hegemony while aiming for back alleys? Should it be simple, should it be grandiose?
I understand. I would like to live with You want to live your life enjoying wealth and wealth without looking at anyone.
Then, like me, be a friendly neighbor to everyone. Why are you trying to rule like that by killing yourself? unfortunately.
“Are you the one who interrupted Bourne’s plan, the magician?”
“Right.”
“Why did you resist Bonn?”
“yes? What else is that?”
Although he was a serious enough person to be funny, Wolfen asked more seriously.
“magician. I heard you didn't really build any power. If so, isn't it also what you wanted the existing power to be pushed out?”
“It’s ridiculous. I'll ask the other way around. Why are you trying to clean the back alley? Touching people who have nothing to do with you?”
“It’s strange. Isn't it natural to have to destroy the original in order to build a new foundation?”
In Wolfen's common sense, he couldn't find any reason why he had to lean or be careful for someone else. Because he was stronger than anyone in the back alley.
I was reminded of the fact that Wolfen was a person from the kingdom days.
The kingdom is a harsh world where the weak and the strong win everything through duels.
For Wolfen, who was born, raised, and reigned there, it was common sense as natural as the fact that the sun rises in the east for the strong to steal from the weak.
I asked, out of curiosity.
“Did that person master the qigong of a coward? If he looks stronger than him, he hides, and if he looks like him, he tries to win by stealth?”
“That is the law of the world. The strong take, and the weak lose. The weak have no choice but to hide their body in order to survive. But Bon was stronger than them, and they did not hide. Bon will take everything from them.”
I can't speak. Ha, these people are real.
Not funny.
“It’s one-dimensional. You have to break your head in the military to come to your senses.”
“Unfortunately, that opportunity will never come. Both for you and for the military.”
As soon as those words were finished, the dagger flew away without any notice. A deadly dagger that is invisible and inaudible, surrounded by gloomy darkness, in a military alley where the dim lights of street lamps are all there is.
'Where should I try?'
The target is my right foot. The human eye has a dull sense of not coming in front, so the intention was to aim for that blind spot.
'First, the right foot. It is an invisible dagger. How are you going to respond?'
But if you're already reading it, it doesn't matter. I raised my right foot slightly and stepped back just before the dagger hit the ground.
q The dagger, which was lodged in the ground under my right foot, vibrated faintly. He leisurely spread his arms and shrugged his shoulders as if that was all.
Standing with me lightly stepping on the dagger, it seemed as if I had grabbed the dagger that was just flying by with my foot.
Seeing this, Wolfen added a little more caution.
'I'm not just a regular criminal. Be careful. They think they are dealing with the knights, and trample them thoroughly.'
Now the time to put it out with words is over.
From now on, it's only up to me to take the time.
“An old legend, Wolfenfenstein. Is it time for a generational change? Please disappear into the back of history.”
“If you deserve it.”
Wolfen took out his main weapon, the Sodo. A sword of ambiguous length, shorter than a dagger or a long sword, seemed to symbolize his identity.
The moment he raised his qigong, a dark energy surged from the blade, wrapped around the blade, and soon became invisible.
The symbol of the shadow and the best skill in close combat. A shadow sword that does not show gaps to opponents.
Thanks to reading Wolfen's thoughts, even knowing that Carl was there, tension came to me. If I do, the invisible blade will cut through my body.
“You will have to work great magic to survive. magician.”
Against that, I only have one deck of cards.
card was opened. In an instant, about 50 cards were scattered all over, and as I pretended to shuffle and applauded, dozens of cards disappeared all over the place.
Instead, all that was left was the single spear that had been replaced earlier.
I held the javelin in both hands and faced him.
“It’s a one-shot, trash.”
The new Wolfen has disappeared. Immediately afterward, an invisible blade flew towards me.
An indeterminate sodo was aimed at my shoulder. If I hadn't had mind-reading skills, I would have won here. Because I have no idea how far the blade has reached.
'Let's attack and see the reaction. Magician, can you notice the gap between the swords?'
However, through mind-reading, the intentions of the opponent were clearly felt. It was a slash that was lightly handed over from a distance so that he could fall back at any time.
Then there is no need to be afraid. He slightly twisted her shoulder and held out the spear. The spear blade pointed at the front of the approaching Wolfen at once.
'It's sharp. Responsive. only… .'
ting. Sodo easily bounced my spear. For a moment, I felt as if someone was pulling the spear.
sodo and spear. Although the difference in length was overwhelming, it was me who shook more violently. It only bounced off, but his hands were throbbing and the tip of the spear shook helplessly.
As if even this was a trick, he grabbed the lupus spear and stretched it out. Wolfen no longer overreacts to my attacks.
'You don't feel that much power and speed compared to sharp? Where, then, shall we have a struggle.'
Suddenly, at the same time as that thought, a dark and sticky energy was attached to the sword. An energy like black mud touched the spear, and immediately wrapped it around the spear and did not let go.
This is going to be a pure battle of strength.
chit. The weak smell is amazing. If I compete for power like this, my insignificant strength is exposed.
I can't help it. The window is not worth it.
Remove the immobile spear from your hand, and remove a card from its sleeve.
Diamond 9, hatchet.
A hatchet in a shape that was good for throwing was held in his left hand. He kicked the clawed spear with his knees, and threw the ax away while hiding in the shadow of the spear.
The sharp-edged ax swung round and round and struck Wolfen's chest as if it were splitting it apart. Wolfen reacted to the sudden appearance of the axe.
'The card has been turned into a weapon. alchemy?'
Will it bounce off with anti-reflection pore, or will it be avoided?
The worries were brief. Wolfen did not gamble for his own safety. Because it was difficult to deflect a rotating ax that was thrown from close range with an anti-tank ball.
'Avoid.'
Wolfen turned his body greatly. The cloak fluttered, and the spear and the ax vanished over Wolfen's shoulder in vain. He lightly stepped on his foot and looked at my hands and feet with sharp eyes.
'Your main weapon is not a spear. alchemy? Or, another weapon?'
Not all weapons In the first place, I don't have a main weapon.
I've already consumed two cards. It would be nice if I could pick it up again, but I can't afford to.
This gap is an opportunity. Taking advantage of his retreat, I quickly ran into the alley. An intolerable question appeared on Wolfen's face as I ran away with my back clear.
'escape? I can't quite figure out the tactics. You don't know how disadvantageous it is to show your back in a fight, right?'
The reason it's at a disadvantage to show your back in a fight is because you can't see your back. If you can't see behind your back, you won't be able to understand the opponent's attack, so running away is always at a disadvantage in battlefields and duels.
But for me, who is mind-reading, it makes no difference whether I look back or forward. After all, the opponent's attack is read as mind-reading.
No, it's better to show your back to distract others.
'Throw a dagger and approach carefully.'
Why does that dagger come out endlessly? It's not like I'm making cards and carrying around.
After a moment of murmuring, the two daggers that Wolfen fired flew straight toward my back. The moment the dagger left his hand, he immediately rolled forward. A cool sensation ran across his back. A little bit, but my cloak was torn.
Although it is made of rather expensive materials, the pore of Wolfen is particularly sharp. I think it would be better not to expect too much protection.
'I sensed a dagger flying behind my back. I feel good. If so, how about spreading the energy in all directions? Let's see if we can still detect it.'
In an instant, darkness rose. The energy that spread in all directions approached, filling the street like a mist. If someone you don't know happened to see this spectacle, they would have thought that there was a landslide somewhere and the wind was blowing dust.
Driving a fluttering shadow and hiding in it, Wolfen rushed to me in the shadow.
I paused when I saw the revolver I was hiding under my cloak.
'gun? Could alchemy make guns?'
Diamond 6, revolver.
Five diamonds left from the last shot. There is no chance unless the antitank qigong has become thinner due to the expansion of qigong.
Crackle chuckle. The secretly transformed revolver is brought to his waist. While holding the trigger, he struck the ball and fired five bullets at once.
Tata Tata.
At short intervals, they aimed their guns at the main body accurately, even in the dark. Arms, legs, chest, forehead, legs. Bullets were lodged in Wolfen's limbs.
After being shocked in a short period of time, Wolfen stumbled for a moment.
'I do not know. I can't pinpoint my skills. One thing is for sure, it has a wonderful sense of humor.'
However, even the thinned anti-tank pores can easily block bullets. A bullet that fell to the ground in vain, unable to penetrate even the black clothes, let alone the body.
Wolfen captured his energy. The energy that spread out in all directions seeped through his nose and mouth once again.
It was as if Wolfen was swallowing up the darkness.
'Then I give up hiding. A face-to-face confrontation… . It's not my area of expertise, but that's the only way.'
Wolfen, who finally realized his superiority, decided to be stupid instead of using his head.
Black Spirit Qigong is an assassination technique that hides its appearance with the energy that swallows light and sound, and targets the opponent's gaps. Therefore, it is a normal usage to deceive the enemy's senses by scattering them like a wolf pen.
However, Wolfen boldly abandoned its use.
Returning the energy that had been exhaled uncontrollably to the body. Instead of scattering it in all directions to obscure the view, it concentrated inside the body to add strength.
A wicked use that does not show the original intention. However.
'We compete only with strength and qigong.'
It's rat poison for me.
oh shit
