“This way.”
Following MuiMui’s guidance, the infiltration team arrived at the road to island number 4.
“It’s high tide, so the road is submerged in water, but the water is not very deep. It’s not too far away, so you can move to the surface of the water if you need to.”
When the rigid body technique reached a certain level, it was possible to lighten the weight and run on the water by adjusting the aura in the body.
Theoretically, it would be possible to kick the air and run through the air, but it would be cheaper to make a foothold with an intangible sword.
On the other hand, water or thin tree branches were able to run around stably even at the student level.
“I heard that a powerful witch is blocking this road. Is that him?”
The party stopped at a location where they could see the coast and found a monster floating on the sea in the distance.
“You really do look like a human. Although it is jagged like it was made with origami.”
“You don’t look particularly strong, do you?”
The aura felt by the monster was not very different from the special mutants I met on the way here.
However, the strength of the Witchbeast was not determined only by the size of its strength.
“The opponent is the one who terrorized the group of refugees, including many knights. As long as you don’t know what kind of abilities you have, you can’t be careless.”
The information obtained from the group of refugees was only the appearance and the fact that they were strong.
They said that they were ambushed while already exhausted, and that the only thing they could do was run away.
“Is there any need to fight? I think it would be better to go back.”
At Ricardo’s question, MuiMui shook his head.
“We have to go out to sea to get out of his detection range and get back. If that happens and you end up attracting the attention of the Big Wave, it won’t be enough to deal with a single beast.”
“Are you saying it’s better to grab that one and go?”
It was better to defeat the fox than run into the tiger’s den.
“Then I’ll do my best to finish it quickly.”
The infiltration team, which had prepared an attack in a range out of reach of the Witchbeast’s senses, charged at the same time as the signal.
‘Brain name!’
Jigsaw Jigsaw!
The first to arrive at him was Ricardo, who activated a thunderbolt and ran in a straight line.
Riccardo, who rushed at the shortest distance to make use of the surprise effect, stabbed his sword at the beast’s neck in the blink of an eye.
Caang!
“What reaction rate… … !”
The Witchbeast, who had been standing still as if he didn’t know anything, swung his arm in an instant and cut off Ricardo’s sword.
then kick.
Wow!
Ricardo hurriedly blocked the kick, but was unable to completely offset the impact.
“Ricardo!”
“You can’t stop attacking!”
Tiu bounced off the surface of the water like throwing a water swallow, leaving behind the flying Ricardo and firing the intangible sword.
However, unlike before, the humanoid monster did not try to block or avoid this attack, but received all of them with its body.
His outer skin exposed under the blizzard was intact.
“No scratches!?”
“Then how about this!”
Afterwards, Noah’s sword, which did not give him a chance to rest, fell towards the Witchbeast.
Fire Dragon, a skill that Regina created by remodeling Noah’s Sky Split.
With this skill of constantly wrapping the fire property transformation around the sword, Noah was able to use the 4th level sword skill in real combat.
Hwareuk!
Where the sword passed, a trail of fire split the air.
Instead of accepting the magic capital attribute conversion, he avoided it.
Then, like Ricardo, he counterattacked with a roundabout kick, but Noah, who had seen it before, let most of the power go away and was only pushed a few steps on the surface.
“Oh my. Doesn’t it seem like you can’t block attribute conversion?”
“Others, step back! It won’t work on him unless it’s at the level of attribute conversion!”
Following Thiu’s words, the members of the infiltration team who were about to attack fell back.
Even if you can’t inflict a critical hit, you can still assist.
Their strength was also important.
‘Am I the only one who can use attribute conversion here, Ricardo?’
“Hey, Ricardo!”
“I didn’t hear it.”
Ricardo was blown away by the counterattack, but he closed the distance again to see if he was seriously injured.
Even if the body becomes stronger through rigid body technique, the weight does not increase.
In fights between strong players with strong power relative to their weight, even the slightest misplaced force would make them fly away like that.
“be careful. Even though most of the power was shed, it flew terribly. If you hit it wrong, it won’t end with breaking a bone.”
“Remember.”
The two of them split into sides and surrounded the Witchbeast in front and behind.
In the end, it was the two of them who finally had to stick the sword into his body.
The sum of the two was the most important.
[Giying]
Seeing the two of them, the witch waved her arms wide.
Then, a long blade protruded from the part where a human hand would be located.
“Does it not only resemble a human in appearance, but also uses a sword?”
“Wait, that posture… … Ricardo! damage!”
The moment Noah’s voice resounded, a humanoid monster jumped out from behind Ricardo.
Speed beyond expectations.
However, Ricardo, who had seen the opponent’s agility earlier, blocked the attack to the extent of being slightly pushed back.
From noble mtl dot com.
‘heavy!’
The defense is successful, but the attack is heavy.
What’s more, this place is above the water.
His follow-up hit is faster than correcting his sloppy posture on an unstable platform.
The moment the swords in both hands of the Witchbeast pierced Ricardo’s face and heart at the same time, Noah’s sword blocked it.
Caang!
It was a risky timing even though I ran with the brain myeongsin.
Even Noah was in danger from the counterattack, but thanks to Thiu and the other knights blocking his way, he was able to regain his stance.
“Am I not mistaken? That witch beast, it looks like he used swordsmanship right now?”
“that’s right. You didn’t see it wrong.”
The sword skill was not displayed, but what that monster used just now was definitely a human sword skill.
A movement to hold back and make it difficult to respond due to the structure of the human body, or to take away the opponent’s weapon by intertwining swords.
All of them were the only things Noah had ever seen.
“Noah, that swordsmanship… … .”
I don’t understand how that is possible, but it was absolutely not an illusion of the eye.
“okay. Roselia-senpai’s swordsmanship is clear.”
Ribery’s swordsmanship was specialized in counterattacks, but the twins’ swordsmanship was special.
Their swordsmanship, which was created from the beginning on the premise that the two would fight together, was closer to pouring out continuous attacks rather than a defensive stance aiming for a counterattack.
One person is in charge of attacking, and the other is in charge of defense and counterattack.
Depending on the need, the role changes freely in any situation.
The infinite chain unfolding with two twin swords and a total of four swords was a storm that could not be blocked with poor skills.
‘There’s no chance of misrecognizing such an unusual swordsmanship. That is the swordsmanship of the twin seniors, especially Roselia senior.’
“What do you mean? Did you mean that the previous year’s Top Sword winner was killed by that guy?”
“I don’t know. However, it is certain that he has seen your swordsmanship before.”
It was hard to imagine that Roselia had been beaten by him.
Even if she had to fight alongside Linaria in order to display her full power, she was a strong player who had risen to the 12th rank of Nightray by herself.
‘The 15 immovable people are the best geniuses in this country. Although they are still students, they are already stronger than most knights.’
Noah had previously competed against Veronica, one of the 15 in the tryouts.
It was hard to believe that this guy was so strong that Roselia couldn’t even run away.
“… … So, at least that’s the guy who survived the previous year’s topsword winner and survived.”
A witch who uses Roselia’s swordsmanship.
Despite not being able to use sword skills, he was strong.
‘I can’t use swordsmanship or martial arts, but the beast’s strong body supports it. Above all, I don’t know what his superpower is yet.’
“I will deal with that guy.”
“what? What are you talking about when it’s not enough even if we all attack together?”
“If you have the skills now, that would be it. In that sense, that guy is perfect for me.”
Noah straightened his sword and stepped forward.
For some reason, he only reacted passively to attacks from this side, not attacking humans even when he was right in front of him.
It’s as if you guys can’t be my opponent with your skills, and you don’t even pay attention to this side.
“You’re being cheeky on the topic of witchcraft.”
Calm down your mind.
That guy’s movements are so fast that you can only counter them with the use of Brain Myungsin.
It’s to the point where it’s hard to even continue a proper battle with normal attacks.
But it was a different story if I had time to gather my mind.
good!
The moment I stepped into his gap, a blade flew.
‘right hand!’
An attack aimed at the hand holding the sword.
Noah moved slightly to the side and let the attack flow.
then the side.
As he has blades attached to both hands, the composition of his attacks is tight.
Tadadadang!
A quick battle comes and goes in an instant.
Surprisingly, Noah was reliably blocking the demon’s attack.
Thiu and Ricardo couldn’t hide their surprise.
“What happened? That guy is completely different from before, isn’t he?”
“Even during the workshops, I am getting stronger every moment.”
Sensory training with Theodore.
In the training that brought the intuition from the realm of unconsciousness down to the realm of consciousness, Noah refined himself to the limit.
The completion of the Ki achieved based on it.
Grandpa explained this to Noah before.
“The completion of qi means that your body will stand in the same condition as mine.”
“yes? Then, will I be able to use my grandfather’s secrets too?”
“It’s not like the amount of aura suddenly increased or the swordsmanship skill increased, so that’s impossible. The completion of Ki is more like having all of your potentials open at all times.”
The reaction speed is made to zero, so you can move at the same time as you think, and you can unfold the action you drew in your head without any error.
When even spinal reflexes can be consciously controlled using aura, the user will have a perfect body to practice swordsmanship.
“At that time, the limits of your growth will disappear.”
I seemed to understand its meaning now.
‘A body that can handle all attributes and can perform any swordsmanship.’
In this world where dual attribute users are rare, Noah could handle fire, water, and lightning naturally.
Other properties will be the same.
Preparation in advance to be able to perform any swordsmanship.
After that, the wall no longer exists for Noah.
Infinite growth that is not blocked by limits.
That was what ki meant in the end of the game.
“I will learn from you how to defeat you.”
Stand tall and parry all attacks that come within range.
If the opponent overdoes it and tries to strike deep into the range of the sword, lightly step back, widen the distance, and aim for a counterattack.
Simple routines that are easy to say.
However, each time this routine was repeated, the humanoid monster’s wounds began to increase one by one.
Instead, Noah kept stepping back step by step, but that’s it.
Ting!
-!
Noah, who continued to step back and receive attacks, stopped.
“Now I see. Your movements.”
Take a step forward.
The Witchbeast, who had been attacking unilaterally, was in a hurry to defend, and only Noah was attacking.
reversal of the tide.
The gap in skill has now been overturned here.
[Key profit! Kiik!]
“Are you afraid?”
His swordsmanship and physical abilities were all better than Noah’s.
Until recently, he was so confident that he would ignore Noah even if he was by his side unless he came within the gap.
But now.
The guy was struggling to get away from Noah’s attack.
being hunted
For the first time, the powerful Witchbeast, who lived only as a hunter, felt the fear of being hunted.
Fear seizes the body and stretches.
Noah did not miss that opportunity.
“Black.”
Black teeth cut the beast in half.
“I won’t give you time to use your abilities.”
