110 – Long wait.
A knight of blue luck. Albert closed and opened his eyes.
‘This is… ?’
He slowly examined the changed scenery around him.
What is unfolding before your eyes is not the hallway of the temple. A view of shallow water that stretches endlessly.
Water and sky.
There must be only those two, but the problem was that the area was far beyond imagination. Albert kept blinking his eyes at the unfathomable vastness.
‘Even if it’s a unique barrier…. Isn’t it just an illusion?’
Even so, I break out in a cold sweat for no reason.
He disciplined himself at every moment so as not to be enchanted. Even now, he has contracted with Mine and gained power.
Therefore, the premise that it is inside the inherent barrier itself is strange. It was even more strange that he was in a cold sweat.
However.
‘Strange.’
Even his sword was warning its owner, Albert, to be careful.
Sometimes the feeling felt from the sword is more accurate than a hundred words of explanation. Unknowingly, I gripped his handle tightly, and within a short time, I raised my unique ability.
‘Plan, a freshman in the Faculty of Magic.’
When approaching in a timely manner. Less than a year had passed since Plann entered the academy.
It goes without saying that this is the first time you have experienced the subjugation system, and it will be your first time to step into a dangerous area and risk your life in a real battle.
‘But why….’
Albert’s unique ability. Culling of the weak.
The greater the difference in skills between each other, the greater Albert gains strength. This simple unique ability does not currently work against flans.
“… Weeding out the weak won’t work.”
Albert muttered quietly so that only his knights could hear. Even though it was a serious story, the reaction that came back was simple.
Kian pretended to have a relaxed smile.
“This was expected. You can’t be vigilant against flan.”
“Weeding out the weak doesn’t work? I’m glad you made a contract with Mine, dude.”
The other article also tapped Albert on the shoulder to reassure him not to worry too much.
Albert licked his dry lips.
In fact, what he really wanted to convey to his teammates was not that he was weaker than the flan, but that we could all be weaker than the flan.
“Everyone, please stay in line. I will come forward and deal with you from the beginning.”
Qian smiled and she moved forward.
Albert couldn’t catch him. Because he couldn’t exactly put into words the sensations he felt in his body.
Even if you step out, there is no sound in shallow water. Kian was the first to break the silence in this strange barrier where common sense doesn’t work.
“I told you to choose whether to call or die, right?”
Plan just approaches without answering.
Qian slowly continued.
“If I have to do something, I raise it.”
Plan still doesn’t say anything. He didn’t even know if he was listening to Kian.
“I will raise. If he’s confident, it’s natural for him to raise the plate.”
In the meantime, the distance between the two became very close. Flan finally stopped and opened his mouth.
“Is the hand open yet?”
“Hmm?”
“Seeing that he only talks a lot, it looks like he is holding a rudder.”
At those words, Qian’s face, which had been spinning until now, became more serious. The knight quietly straightened his sword.
“… What are you in such a hurry for?”
I pretended to be relaxed, but Qian was in a bad mood.
He was a person who understood better than anyone that the world of gambling was cold.
The conversation between the participants in the middle is not very important. If you win because your hand is stronger than your opponent’s, it’s enough, and a relaxed person naturally spares words.
Suddenly, he thinks of himself at the casino.
Qian had encountered many bluffs and tricks, and each time he saw his strong hand and snorted inwardly.
But just now, didn’t he throw his words out for nothing?
Like a person who has to rely on bravado by grabbing a rudder.
“….”
Qian straightened his sword.
Now that I think about it, there was one more strange thing.
‘They’re getting closer to me.’
Originally, the knight should chase the wizard. In a situation where the wizard is approaching like now, wouldn’t it be better to take your time and laugh at it?
I feel sorry for not being easily understood for acting differently than usual. Just like myself on the first day I visited a casino.
“… It is nonsense.”
Qian quietly raised his unique ability.
And the moment Flan entered the range, he swung his sword with all his might.
The double-edged sword attempts to slash Flan’s neck horizontally at a speed that is difficult to track with the naked eye.
Ting!
However, Qian’s arm was in place. That’s what flan bounced off like that.
Kian murmured quietly.
“… Great. One pair first.”
I still have time. No, on the contrary, I feel regretful and regretful if it has already happened to me.
Qian’s unique ability is Combination Attack.
It is a simple yet powerful ability that increases its power tremendously the more times you swing the sword in battle.
At the same time, it was also the ability that best suited Qian. It was as if they were drawing better and better cards in poker and heading to the top of the genealogy.
So the fun begins now. No matter who your opponent is, you won’t be able to defeat Qian in a long game.
Qian swung his sword once again, receiving the power of the ‘coupling attack’. This time, a strong strike.
From noble mtl dot com
‘Two pair.’
Whiing!
But this time it was completely off the mark. He was a little embarrassed when the dull sensation returned to his hand.
I can’t hear any sound even when I step on the shallow water. There is no tingling sensation either. The boundary and color between the sky and the ground are ambiguous.
… It’s like struggling and fighting in a dream.
“Mmm.”
Qian shook his head vigorously.
Being devoured in the other person’s intended space was something that could never have happened.
“Let’s start in earnest from now on!”
Qian shouted loudly and charged.
His sword splendidly embroidered the air. He elaborately draws the patterns on the poker cards with the tip of his sword, and swings his sword only to suffocate the opponent.
Bang! Quaang!
However, they all bounce off.
Triple, Straight, Backstraight…. All of the subsequent attacks did not work on Plan.
And at some point. When our eyes met in midair.
Plan said with his eyes that your hand was a rogue hand. Kean gritted it.
“You can’t afford to… !”
Qian diligently swung his sword and caught the upward trend of his consecutive attacks.
Anyway, the more you wield it, the stronger you become. In other words, Qian is getting an advantage even now, when the game is getting longer by 1 minute and 1 second.
But.
‘Why?’
I don’t feel like I’m gaining an advantage.
“Huh-!”
Combination of serial attacks and demons. The sword cut through the space with a lot of black energy. It was the strongest blow that skipped several stages of the chain attack.
The sword covered in energy looked several times longer than usual. Just when it looked like it would crush the entire flan.
Plan’s words hit my ear one beat faster.
“The reason Chungwoon is disbanding today.”
Stand tall.
The next moment, Qian’s arm stopped.
Without even a hint of slowing down, his arm just stayed in the process for a moment.
“It’s not because I made a contract with Mine.”
Qian still did not understand the situation. But the moment he felt that his arms were not moving, an uneasy feeling came over his head.
Plan was staring at himself quietly.
He spat out word by word. As if telling these facts was far more important than fighting.
“It’s because they ignored the wizard’s potential.”
The moment I heard those words clearly.
“Ugh… ?”
Suddenly, the field of view splits into two.
It was as if the angle of view suddenly widened, like a bird with eyeballs attached to the side. The left and right sides convey a completely different view to Kean.
It sinks slowly, very slowly towards shallow water.
‘Illusion? No….’
After a while, what came into his field of vision was a human body split in half exactly vertically.
Kian’s body, split in half, was staring at each other while lying down.
‘At some point.’
As if reading his thoughts, Plan quietly opened his mouth.
“The moment I stepped on the surface, it was already too late.”
After solving the last curiosity of his life, Qian’s consciousness finally disappeared.
Black blood flows from Kian’s body, which is split in half. At the same time, as the unique barrier is released, the familiar hallway of the temple is revealed again.
Plan cast his gaze on the remaining three knights.
“I made you wait a long time.”
Just saying one word.
