Chapter 134 – Astra
Pop! Boom! Puffup!
Quaaang!
Mana explodes like crazy inside the body, accelerating the speed.
I can still feel the tearing pain all over my body, but somehow it is tolerable thanks to the effect of the [Indomitable] Attribute integrated into the [Short Swordsman].
Even if it hurts unbearably in the first place, you shouldn’t stop.
The speed of exchanging attacks has already increased, and if I stop even for an instant, my neck will be blown off.
But it’s not all pain.
Every time you explode your magic, you give yourself feedback on how to swing your sword, where, and with what power it will be most effective.
As if the title [Small Swordsman] Was not earned for nothing, I could feel the efficiency of bursting magic power improving with each swing of the sword.
[You have reached a certain proficiency and acquired the skill, ‘Magical Explosion (B)’.]
“… ….”
I don’t think it was enough to acquire the skill. Besides, if it’s a B grade, it’s pretty compliant.
But… Even if I search the whole world, I’m sure I’m the only one with skills like this.
Magical Explosion is a technique that eventually harms the body itself.
It’s me, I have [Regeneration], And if I need to, I can borrow Kania’s [Super Regeneration] Through a copy….
Self-regeneration is not very common.
A trump card for a person without regenerative ability… It can be, but it doesn’t have such a huge effect as it is rated as B grade.
Anyway, it’s much better to just fight than to get a quick blow and blow away parts of the body.
From the point of view of other people, Magical Explosion will only be seen as a trash ability.
But… It’s different for me!
Pop! Pupperpuppung!
Magical energy creates a series of explosions, giving acceleration to the arm that wields the sword.
Certainly, after learning Magical Explosion as a skill, I was able to use it a little faster and more proficiently.
However, this is still not enough.
Kiyiyiying——!
From noble mtl dot com
The purple star stagnant in the heart rotates like crazy.
We need to pick up the pace.
Stronger, faster.
[‘Copy’ of the indomitable knight, Scarlett.]
[The attribute, ‘Wide’ is activated.]
Vitality circulates throughout the body.
Gwangpok is a technique that naturally raises one’s physical abilities to their limits.
Originally, there would be a penalty of letting go of reason in return, but it doesn’t really matter to me.
The attribute of [Indomitable] Merged with the title of [Swordsword].
Not only does it simply increase willpower, but it can also block mental abnormalities to some extent.
If the [Will] Trait I had in the past was a trait that allowed me to take a step further in any situation.
[Indomitable], Which is a superior compatibility, is a characteristic that allows you to overcome any situation.
Most people with the [Indomitable] Trait have a short lifespan.
People with this characteristic stand up to any ordeal without giving in.
The only way they can walk is to win or die.
It is impossible to never give up.
It’s not just because of the effect of [Indomitable].
People who have acquired the attribute of [Indomitable] Are indomitable in the first place.
Just like how I acquired the [Magical Explosion] Attribute by using countless magical explosions.
Since they are indomitable in the first place, they are those who have acquired the characteristic of [Indomitable].
[Indomitable] Is a tribute given by the goddess for such people.
A blessing for those who died fighting to the end without fear in the face of death.
A song of a goddess who wishes for warriors who never give up to die fighting with even a little more honor.
The [Indomitable] Attribute almost completely blocks mental damage.
Because that is indomitability.
Because it is a characteristic that embodies their will to not yield under any circumstances.
So no matter how much [Brightness] Is a negative trait of A-class, as long as [Indomitable] Is there, there is no reason to lose one’s reason.
So, that means I no longer have any reason to fear berserk-like attributes.
[The attribute, Runaway (A) is activated.]
A force far beyond my limits emanates from my body.
No, it was already at its limit.
[Regeneration] And [Super Regeneration] Were barely blocking it.
But it doesn’t matter.
“I just need to be able to move right now.”
Are you thinking of pouring everything in an instant anyway?
[Copy of Ifelsar Iruyen, a descendant of the Ancient Dragon.]
[The skill, Dragonization is activated.]
Pude deudeuk.
From its head grow two horns that are slightly different from those of Ifelsar, which are dark blue and purple at the same time.
The area around the heart was burning, and then part of the magical power flowing from the purple star that seemed about to explode at any moment began to move to the side.
Dragon Heart.
In novels, dragons are often described as the beginning of magic and the existence that reigns at the top of all races.
And the dragon heart is the source of such a dragon’s enormous magical power.
Just as such a dragon heart was born, the magical power that had been spreading out of control began to follow my control all at once.
Not only that, but the whole body heats up, and the structure of the body changes little by little.
It’s different from when Ipelsar uses Yonginhwa.
The human form was maintained forever, but the inside was changing.
With a body that can produce more powerful physical abilities.
With a structure that allows more mana to flow and better control.
At the same time, I feel that my perspective is changing little by little.
I can see the flow of magic better than I usually see.
Roughly how mana flows inside the bodies of others, and where the source of that mana is located.
Everything is at a glance.
I was dumbfounded and laughed out loud.
Did Ipelsar look at the world from this point of view until now?
When I slightly lift Durandal, my face is reflected on the clear day.
Two black horns growing on top of his head.
A dark blue color fluctuates between the cracks in the horn, and a pale purple color is embedded in the inside.
In addition, the pupils, like Ifelsar’s, were split vertically and had the dragon’s eyes, which are common in fantasy novels.
With a look like this, it might be more accurate to call him a demon lord rather than a holy knight.
Unlike Siwoo Han’s magical power, it’s not a sacred golden color, but a purple color.
But what about that?
I’m not Han Si-woo, it’s me.
Then you are just a stranger who took over Han Si-woo’s body, but you don’t have to go down the same path just because you followed his will.
I walk my own path. That’s it.
He held the sword with both hands and raised it.
Han Si-woo, who had an expressionless face at my changed appearance, also took the same posture as me.
The basic posture of all swordsmanship.
We looked at each other silently like that.
At the same time, they swung their swords.
Bang!
The left feet of the two people step forward at the same time and firmly step on the ground as if stepping on an advance.
Eventually, the two swords collided.
——————!
Paradoxically, an inaudible explosion erupts, and the space begins to tear apart.
But….
‘Not enough.’
It’s much better than before, but it’s still lagging behind.
But… From the beginning, I had no intention of fighting.
Chow ah!
A shadow stretched from behind Han Si-woo’s back and covers his eyes.
Shadow control is just beginning to get used to.
At the same time, I twisted my body slightly to the side with my sword.
Kaga gak gak gak!
The direction of his sword, which had been falling toward my head, broke and began to slice through his shoulder blades, not his head.
“Ugh… !”
Right away, he swung the sword sideways with one hand. Towards Siwoo Han’s hand holding Durandal.
Push Shoot! Although he succeeded in leaving a small scar on the back of his hand, he is a paladin who has already reached the end of the world several times.
Covering his eyes for a moment could not mortally wound him.
In an instant, he dropped my shoulder and pulled his hand slightly to the side to avoid a fatal injury.
But… Wasn’t it his wrist that I was aiming for in the first place?
Quaaa!
The immense magical power inside Durandal I was holding exploded in an instant.
The only thing I can use [Magical Explosion] Is my own magic.
Then, of course, the magical power contained in my sword is also included.
In the aftermath of the explosion, Durandal escapes from my hand and is blown away.
But the same goes for Siwoo Han. It was because his Durandal, who was at close range with my sword, was also within the range of the explosion.
Both me and him became barehanded in an instant.
However, I have one more sword that I can summon.
[Hero, ‘Copy’ Stia.]
Quaaa!
An enormous light bursts from my one remaining hand.
Holy sword, Astra.
A sword of light that has not even been properly formed, drawing part of its power because it is not a real hero.
But its power is real.
There is no time to regenerate an arm that was severed with [Super Regeneration].
I swung the Astra as hard as I could towards Siwoo Han, who had lost his sword.
However, Siwoo Han’s expression did not change even as he watched Astra rush towards him.
It was just that, as she stretched out her hand toward Astra, she chanted quietly.
“Astra.”
“…… ?”
Why the name of the Holy Sword all of a sudden?
And at that moment, his hand, which had reached out to my astra, began to be wrapped in light.
Before long, Astra and his hands collided.
Quaaagh!
It bounced backwards with a tremendous impact.
“Ugh….”
“Remember. Never forget.”
After rolling on the floor several times, when I raised my head and looked at him, I couldn’t help but be stunned.
“You… you that…….”
“The Demon King is not the end.”
The armor of starlight mounted on the hand he held out. Because I knew all too well what it was.
Armor of the warrior. Holy Sword Astra.
Original, not fake, copied as a copy.
Why does Siwoo Han have Astra?
Moreover, whenever the hero changes, Astra’s form always changes. Never had the same shape.
But what the hell is that?
Why does it have the exact same shape as Stia’s Astra?
