The battle with Minerva was always in the favor of this side.
Also, she doesn’t know, because I’ve already had a fight with her once.

Of course, it was a fight with her who had circumstances in her hands, but there was a big difference between having experience and not having experience.
And above all, in the shadows, I had the existence of Minerva, who saw through everything she was going to do 300 years ago and told me in advance.
This made a crucial difference.
[Ahhh!!!]
A huge dragon flies through the air and crashes into the ground.
Although it may not have caused her any major wounds, it must have been enough to shake her mind. In fact, Minerva, who had fallen to the ground, struggled and lost consciousness.
[How can such a power come to a human subject? !]
Minerva muttered in disbelief.
In fact, it was the same with this one.
[Look at it. Isn’t what the original woman said right?]
Minerva said in a triumphant voice.
Clearly, she, who had held herself in the shadows of the past, said this to me in a confident tone.
― Seeing that you can’t shake off the shadow of your real woman, it seems that your physical strength is far superior to our expectations. If so… You might be able to turn your maiden over as it is.
In fact, the higher the ability of the person who possesses the shadow, the higher the power of the swamp of shadows.
However, even if she thought that throwing Minerva would really make sense, she was so confident that she jumped in in doubt.
And the appearance of Minerva lying on the ground was proof of everything.
A simple collision with force alone can bring out a sufficient effect.
That fact alone was enough.
[Big black… !]
Struggling to keep her from getting up, she rushed forward and slapped her face with her fist, and her head hit the ground violently and bounced off.
Something flew in the air and fell down thickly.
It was blood and broken scales.
[Ah, heck… ! This, this cheeky… !]
Minerva was lying face down and just being beaten to me helplessly.
From the beginning, her poison didn’t work for me at all, and her attempts to vomit breath or to wield her tail were senseless because they had already been detected.
In the end, all that was left was to press down with pure physical ability, and even this lost the player to me.
There, Minerva’s shadow skillfully blocked her movements, and Sbengali, a parasitic bird of thorns, flew through the sky, constantly sprinkling powder like spores from mushrooms.
Gradually, the thought that I might be able to win this way began to raise my head slowly.
And it seemed that I wasn’t the only one who thought that way.
[this… Hopefully.]
[Umm.]
Apparently, Sbangali, who was relatively ignorant of the battle, mumbled, and Minerva quietly answered.
[If we go on like this, we will really win without any problems. … I’m ashamed of all the girls who saw this. Genga, the real woman at this time, was seriously unaware of the possibility that she might lose… ? No matter how you look at it, you are being arrogant and embarrassed to the point that there is nothing worse than making fun of you.]
She added one more thing.
[…] This is the one, making such a fuss like that makes me feel like an idiot.]
Dragon blood constantly seeps from the inside of his body, which has been strengthened as the king of thorns.
In this state, it seemed that we could fight for several days or days, and it seemed that no matter who the opponent was, he would not lose.
[It’s a bit dark… Ugh!?]
The shadow caught Minerva’s movement, which was about to swing his tail by surprise.
It was then when I clasped my hands and slammed it down, denting part of her tail, and she let out a painful scream.
[…] But it’s strange.]
Minerva, who was in the shadows, muttered quietly.
[Was the original woman so helpless? ? No matter how much you think about it… There was a time when you were in great danger… .]
That was then.
The first of us to react was Sbangali.
As he flew through the sky and continued to sprinkle powder that disturbed Minerva’s senses, he suddenly warned of a threat with a loud voice.
[Get out of the spot right now!]
As soon as I heard his words, I tried to kick the ground, but I couldn’t. Suddenly, I felt the pain as if my ankle was going to break, and I swallowed my breath and looked down.
[what… .]
Suddenly, the lens that had pierced the ground was holding my ankle.
And I knew what this was.
This is definitely the one Gina was imprisoned on… !
[Wait, dear! Get out of there, come on!]
Minerva panicked and warned of danger.
A huge shadow fell above his head, and a cry filled with anger was heard.
It was Minerva.
It was only a fleeting moment, but that brief moment was enough for her.
Suddenly she got up and straightened up, staring at me as if she was literally killing me.
[Ahhh!!!]
shouts of indignation.
Then her tail slapped my body relentlessly.
It was so quick that there was no time to do anything.
[―――――!!!]
[―――――!!!]
I heard someone calling me, but I couldn’t hear it.
No, I wonder if the voice calling me was correct.
In the intense shock that seemed to let go of the string of mind as it was, only the notification window that appeared in front of me was particularly vividly engraved in my mind.
[The quest ‘Sixth Evil’ begins.]
[I hope that the seven evils ‘Yuno’ will wake up from the buried ground and be rewarded for their lost time.]
[Be careful not to be locked up in his body for eternity.]
* * *
It was just an instant until everything turned around.
The dragon, with large and small wounds all over his body, roared again with anger when he saw the man being beaten by his tail and falling.
Her body, mind, and self-esteem, who lived with pride as being the strongest, had long been hurt so deeply that it could not be overlooked. And she knew better than anyone how to heal those wounds.
[I won’t forgive you… I will not forgive you… !]
Immediately with those words, she flew away and struck the man with her front paws as if catching a fly.
His body sank to the ground, and there was an eerie sound of something crushing.
In the midst of that, Minerva felt a strange excitement and upliftment as she quickly got up and tried to get her posture right.
Yeah, I can’t just die like this.
You, who pushed the real woman and me this far, can’t just fall to this level.
This is the first time in your life that you have caused such humiliation and hurt.
You are the first person to push your real woman like this.
Dokdo, which she was proud of, didn’t work at all, and you were the first to see through everything about her and pierce through it.
so… !
[I will crush you!]
With those words, Minerva flew away again.
The man, Yoo Ji-hyuk, immediately flew away, followed by her tail sweeping through it.
I already knew it wasn’t going to work.
Minerva roared again and slammed her foreleg down.
As expected, this attack had to be avoided without difficulty.
As she was thinking about the next number, anticipating the countless workshops she would share with him dozens of times after that, she felt as if something was being trampled on.
[…] Well?]
He was lying on his front foot.
He was crying and spitting out black, dead blood as it was stomped on his front foot.
[Big black… .]
Yet at the sight of him shivering, trembling, and giving strength to escape somehow, Minerva felt a sense of loss that could not be helped.
Embarrassed by the momentary passing emotion, she growled excessively as if trying to deny it, and opened her mouth towards him.
[Like before, what do you do without looking at it vigorously? Yes?]
[nice… eww… .]
Yoo Ji-hyuk groaned and dropped his body.
Realizing that his posture wasn’t good and he couldn’t shake her off like before because of the blow he had just hit, he groaned and vomited black, dead blood again.
To make matters worse, the king of thorns that covered his body was gradually disappearing. He murmured as if it were ridiculous.
“Well, since when… like that. Have a good relationship… ?”
[…] what?]
“Please, like this… Interfering… .”
[…] You bastard, what the hell are you talking about now?]
Yoo Ji-hyuk did not answer Minerva’s question.
He was just groaning, clenching his teeth and muttering something.
“… no. are you okay. don’t come out If you come out now, I really can’t. because it’s okay… !”
For a moment, he screamed in pain.
It was because Minerva had crushed his body as if rubbing his front foot.
[Aren’t you telling me to answer? What the hell do you mean… ?!]
Minerva paused as if he had found something.
Her crimson eyes had discovered pieces of crystal scattered right next to Yoo Ji-hyuk.
[This… .]
She muttered in embarrassment, then quickly raised her front foot.
Fragments were scattered around his hideously mangled body.
Most of all, she found the crystal still sticking to his ankle and closed her mouth involuntarily.
Come to think of it, there were a couple of strange things.
It was also a fact that she would have noticed sooner if she had been her usual.
Yoo Ji-hyuk suddenly stopped attacking.
Yoo Ji-hyuk was beaten helplessly even though the attack could have been avoided enough.
Now all questions have been answered.
[no way… .]
Minerva muttered in disbelief.
Regaining her sanity in an instant, she quietly recalled the duel that had just happened.
If he hadn’t been disturbed, who would be lying down now?
… She knew the answer better than anyone.
So she couldn’t contain her anger.
[U-no… !!! You guys, you dare… !!!]
What she hated the most was having someone intervene in a sacred duel.
What’s more, the human he met for the first time, who pushed him, fell down helplessly.
There, he didn’t even know it, he just pushed him away.
As a result, even life was saved.
The facts gathered and they were digging into her pride more sharply than any other dagger.
Feeling like she was about to explode, she let out an angry roar again.
Her crimson eyes were now facing someone other than Yoo Ji-hyuk.
* * *
“Ugh!”
Han Soo-young quickly flew away, reaching out and scattering arrows of magical power.
The crystals hit by the magic arrow hesitated for a moment, but they were approaching her tenaciously.
“Shut up!”
Ever since she saw the rat accidentally touching the crystal and being trapped in the lens, she was extremely wary of touching the lens. As soon as she saw that, she could recognize that it was the crystal of Yu-no’s seven evils that Yoo Ji-hyuk was talking about.
‘Is Jihyuk okay? ?’
Another seven evil species that suddenly appeared.
It was an existence with strength that could be compared to that of Minerva.
It was impossible to just wait for him here and now, in a field where he didn’t know how a person like him would behave.
If you think common sense, it was right to get out of here right now.
It was because there was nothing he could do the moment he ran into Yuno after delaying for nothing. On the contrary, it was said that it could only cause concerns to Yoo Ji-hyuk.
‘However… .’
What if Juno joins Minerva?
If that happened, it was clear that no matter how much he was, he couldn’t help it.
And in that situation, he was the only one who could help him.
“… I can’t help it.”
Han Soo-young, who muttered like that, hovered around and touched the buckler and the lens that were protecting her.
“Help me. We need to figure out Jihyuk’s location right now and get out of here. So… !”
In an instant, Han Soo-young knew what it felt like to freeze the blood flowing through her body.
She slowly turned her head and looked back.
A gigantic golem made of crystal, lava and rocks looked down on her.
“ah… !”
Han Soo-young started to squeeze her magic power by clenching her teeth in order to somehow escape while making a noise without realizing it. Even though she was pouring out most of her magical power to maintain the spells she had cast on Yoo Ji-hyuk, she was able to squeeze it out without difficulty.
have to run away
With that in mind, it was time to get out of there right away.
[aa!!!]
It’s like the heavens and the earth are shaking.
Then, the high-heat breath engulfed the crystal golem’s body.
[U-Know!!!]
With an angry shout, another seven bells appeared from the sky.
A man was held weakly by her front paws.
