179 – Ilseom
The realization that Serena gained while returning Layla and her gang, who were halfway between life and death, was a redefinition of the concept of cutting something with a sword itself.
Who in the world can cut the action, who in the world can cut the sound, and who in the world can cut the action of striking a sword.
Normally, it can be said that it is impossible.
Except for one person, Serena.
It didn’t matter if Olivia’s body burned like black mana or not, or whether strangely warped spaces were stacked on top of each other.
Likewise, it didn’t matter whether Serena’s wind shear was out of reach or whether there were obstacles in the path of the sword.
All you need is one thing. It was just that Serena was determined to cut Olivia.
“I made it clear.”
The blue wall and the dark black eye met each other.
“If that jaw doesn’t shut up, I’ll make it myself.”
“Something like you? Me?”
As Olivia laughed, the distortion in space grew stronger. In an instant, Serena could notice that the distance between the two had increased enormously.
Clearly, the wind shear and the greatsword were pushing each other away, struggling to touch each other. However, the flip side was completely different. Even if Serena stretched out her fist here, it would never reach Olivia.
The distance between Serena and Olivia has already grown far. The world he saw with his eyes no longer meant anything. The first organ to begin to distort was the eyes.
With the naked eye, she could reach it if she stretched out her hand, and if she added a bit of exaggeration, Serena’s exhaled breath would not completely fade away and would fly near Olivia, but in reality it was tens or hundreds of times that.
So I closed my eyes.
In such a space, vision was of no use, only adding to the confusion. I closed my eyes, read the flow of mana, and tried to feel the world through my skin.
Closing your eyes with an enemy right in front of you was like committing suicide. However, in the current situation, trying to capture the enemy visually was a more dangerous action.
I checked Olivia. His whole body was wrapped in jet-black flames, and he was pushing his greatsword with mocking eyes at Serena. The pressure on the wind shear was significant.
Even if Serena pushed that sword away and wielded a wind shear, she probably wouldn’t be able to decapitate that bitch. It’s right in front of you, but it’s not right in front of you.
Conversely, if that bitch pushes away the wind shear and strikes Serena with her greatsword, Serena’s head will be split in half by that greatsword.
unfair? This was the world that year had created. It was natural for all the laws of physics to honor their Creator.
‘can do.’
So, I decided to cut down the entire world.
He took a deep breath and stopped breathing. He stomped his left foot forward and bent his knee to put strength on his left leg. The center of gravity was shifted forward.
In that state, I bent down and pulled the handle of the wind shear to the right side. The left arm pressed against the abdomen. The tip of the knife looked in the opposite direction.
As the wind shear was pushed back, the greatsword slammed into Olivia’s head. There was no need to avoid it. There was no need to be afraid.
Before that, it was enough to swing the wind shear first before that greatsword split his head.
“that word.”
Serena opened her eyes.
And he exhaled.
“I made sure to keep it.”
It was to see with my own two eyes the appearance of the belly of that damn bitch who stole his master and his intestines spilling out.
I wielded a wind shear. The sensation of something thin brushing past the sword blade encased in a huge amount of blue mana was transmitted along the fingers.
Attempts to widen the distance by warping space were nothing more than meaningless desperate attempts, as long as the wind shear had already embodied the concept of cutting.
Serena now could even cut out the fact that the space was warped. As if to prove it, Olivia’s body, which had been felt from far away, was dragged right in front of her before she knew it.
It could not be stopped or avoided. Serena had already achieved the desired result even before the wind shear was wielded.
Because there is a cause, the effect does not follow. The cause was created because the effect was first drawn.
That was the meaning of being able to cut something that couldn’t be cut.
“—Ah?”
Olivia let out a short question. The greatsword that had been aiming at Serena’s head stiffened. The jet-black flames that wrapped around her body slowly faded.
Drops of blood were seeping through her short skirt.
The stab wound, which started in the left ilium, spread horizontally toward the pelvis, passed through the lower abdomen, and stopped expanding only after reaching the right ilium.
Serena took advantage of the opportunity to quickly spread the distance and straighten her posture. I wanted to continue the attack, but the moment before was purely for a blow, so there were too many gaps.
If you wanted to force an attack, you could do that. However, whether the attack would be threatening was another matter.
“……you.”
The two jet-black eyes, whose brilliance had disappeared, turned to Serena.
“What did you just do?”
“I just kept my word.”
Serena calmly took back Olivia’s words and prepared for the next attack. Although it did hurt, that alone was not enough in many ways.
Olivia was still standing, and didn’t seem to have suffered too much damage. The upper body and the lower body do not play separately, but are they still standing on their two legs?
It wasn’t a success because it hurt, but it was practically a failure because the body wasn’t dismembered. It means that the blow inflicted with the intention of slicing the upper and lower body in two was no more than a wound.
‘Even in the meantime, he avoided fatal injuries… … ?’
Clearly, her fingers felt the sensation of cutting off a woman’s unique organ that exists to accept and conceive a man’s seed, which must be contained in her lower abdomen.
It’s not a perfect success, it’s an imperfect success, so it’s a problem.
And that also indicated that Serena hadn’t completely overpowered Olivia yet and was just boiling over. This gap could be overturned at any time.
Serena groaned inwardly. Even though I thought I had opened a new level with a blow that I thought was a near-perfect success, it was finally the same starting line.
If so, what kind of strength does it have?
“Kee-hee-hee, ki-hee-hee, ki-hee-hee-hee…”
At that moment, Olivia let out an odd laugh. It was a laugh so full of madness that I wondered why he was laughing like that.
It was all the more bizarre since he had been staring at Serena with dead eyes just a moment ago.
Serena quickly erased the question from her mind and firmly gripped the handle of the wind shear. Trying to understand the crazy bitch’s psychology was the only loss.
No matter how it laughed at it or what it said, it was none of Serena’s business. I can’t laugh when I die anyway.
And Serena was going to kill that bitch.
“It’s funny, yes. It’s definitely funny. Is there a reason why Master’s soul reacted to the three of you? I don’t know what he did, but yes. There was a reason why Master’s soul fluctuated so rapidly. I haven’t even raised the level of my soul yet. If it’s this much, he would have done it. As expected, Master’s eyes are not wrong. That’s why he saved me. He recognized fools and idiots like you. Oh, that’s right. I have one more reason to kill you guys. “I’ll take you guys away and tell you that Master’s eyesight is wrong, and I’ll comfort the disappointed Master with my body. Hehe, okay. Let’s do that. Yes. I’d better do that.”
“……The lord’s soul reacted?”
In the midst of Olivia’s self-utterance in madness, Serena, who remembered a word she couldn’t help but muttered.
I didn’t even have to worry about who the expression “you three” was referring to. However, the expression that the master’s soul responded continued to bother me.
Immediately, I thought of the bond between the souls, the oath between the lord and Serena, but that was not a clear answer. Didn’t you say that the ability to regenerate even restores the soul?
So, Serena had no idea what the correlation was between Serena reaching another level and the reaction of her master’s soul.
“You seem to be misunderstanding something.”
The cut on Olivia’s belly slowly healed. Seeing this, Serena frowned. healed? that wound?
No matter how half-successful it may be, it was a trace that even the fact that the body existed in that place had been cut down. Normal healing magic wouldn’t even be able to offset it.
Doubts cropped up, but there was no time to sit back and solve them. Olivia stopped her grotesque giggle and creaked her head.
“You can’t kill me with just cutting a concept.”
“gibberish.”
Serena pointed the tip of her wind shear at Olivia. There was not even a hint of hesitation in that movement.
“I’ll prove your wild guesses wrong.”
