Episode 179 – Faceplate
“Aagh!”
Boo-woong!
Difficulty dodges what is presumed to be a sharp blade cutting through the wind.
In the process, I threw myself sideways and rolled on the floor, but that was no big deal.
‘Is this the time to save face!’
In a space where nothing can be seen, something rushes to tear me apart.
Even this bastard seems to be able to see straight ahead, and he has been targeting and attacking me with precision every time.
“I can’t see anything!”
Even detecting with magical power is still not possible.
“Why do all these cases happen!”
That’s why the only thing I can rely on now is my other senses.
When the face support comes close to me, its unique rotten smell vibrates.
I don’t think I’m going to reduce the sound of my footsteps, but I can hear the creepy sound of the 6 legs going around not only on the floor, but also on the walls and ceiling.
If you ask me why I am a spider and I have 6 legs instead of 8.
You can confidently say that it is because the two frontmost legs are equipped with huge blades.
Wedge love liquid!
“Kyaaagh!”
With the sound of the blade slicing through the air, the wind sweeping down my cheek as it swayed, I managed to avoid it repeatedly with only my instincts.
Kiyiing——!
In an attempt to light up this darkness somehow, I tried rotating the purple star and letting Durandal shine….
In the midst of that, the only thing visible is the purple Durandal.
In this space, it seems that there are multiple layers of magic that blocks the light entirely, and even though it is possible to shine alone, it seems impossible to let the light spread to other places.
In the end, it means that we have no choice but to rely on our other senses to fight.
“No, even the blind heroes fight while sensing their surroundings with magic!”
Kwaaang!
“Evil!”
What the hell is this case!
Of course, if you fight someday, you might even run out of magic in a dark place!
However, I wonder if this is too much.
“Kuu!”
Kagagak!
Once again, the swinging blade rubs against Durandal, making a grotesque sound.
Quite heavy power.
Of course, sight plays a very important role in combat.
It is not simply a matter of where the attack comes in or where it is desirable to attack.
Opponent’s size, weapon length. How far forward is the weapon being swung towards me, and what is the angle?
Combining all that information, whether to block or avoid that attack, if so, how to block it and where to place Durandal.
Where should I give strength?
Most of all that information is processed visually.
Of course, with the points I learned through other senses, I make up for the parts lacking in sight alone, and there are also some points that are in the realm of instinct.
Although it is said that magic can cover it to some extent.
Under the current situation, even that is not possible.
But sometimes I hear that kind of thing.
In order to reach a certain level, you have to deny everything you originally knew and be born anew.
Because of this, sometimes there are idiots who practice with their eyes and ears blocked and their mana sealed.
Of course, many of them either died or gave up shortly thereafter.
If the state of the swordsman had been that easy, the Demon King would have been subjugated long ago.
And now, right here, I felt like I was being forced into that training involuntarily.
Wedge love liquid!
Once again, the face holder brandishes the blade.
But this time, they don’t fight back.
‘If we keep fighting like this, I’ll die of exhaustion first.’
First you have to wield an attack to deal with the enemy.
Fast-forward!
The outer skin of the cotton support is hard.
Of course, you can’t hurt by simply swinging it, so you have to use your sword skills.
And I have a very good skill that specializes in penetrating barriers.
The sword is changing as it takes the form of a spear.
If my prediction is correct, the face holder is probably the boss here. It’s a story that if you kill him, it’s all over.
So, put all your strength into one blow-!
“Wow!”
But before that, the blade of the face holder swung once more and grazed my cheek.
I could feel the warm blood running down my cheeks.
‘… Right. He had two knives.’
I forgot because I couldn’t see it.
Could it be because I started to attack?
As if he had only played with me until now, he began to attack me, swinging the blades on both arms wildly.
Shuk. Shushuk. Shu Shu Shuk. Shook,
Two huge blades are pouring down on me out of sight.
“Crazy!”
I tried to block it by swinging Durandal as much as I could, but it was impossible to block all of them.
In the first place, there were some cases where I couldn’t stop it because I wasn’t completely used to it.
Thanks to that, the wounds on my body started to increase one by one.
‘Is it fortunate that I avoided the vital point….’
So far, it only stings a little, but it’s not a big problem moving your body.
… It’s a problem because this is going to be a big problem soon.
Slowly! Awesome!
Even at this moment, the wounds are increasing on my body.
Even if you get hit by a blow, it catches up with you at great speed and swings the blade.
Even if it retreats to the wall, it will attack while climbing the wall, making it even more disadvantageous.
There were no blind spots in this space.
‘Should I run away?’
I’d rather run through the passage we came from earlier….
“Huh?”
Where did I come in?
I can’t see where the passage is because I can’t see anything.
Besides, I don’t even remember because I wandered around dizzy after the battle with the face holder.
‘I have no choice but to fight in the end.’
I don’t think I’ll be able to find the passage while running away from the face holder.
If you’re lucky enough to find a passage, you’ll jump right in, but there’s no time to prioritize that.
“Damn it!”
Creates a sword blade of a spear and stabs it continuously in the direction where you can feel the presence of the face holder.
It’s not as powerful as the one used for containment, but it’s powerful enough to pierce the skin and leave light wounds.
Kagagak!
I was lucky enough to get a hit, so I heard the sound of scratching or breaking the outer shell.
‘But I couldn’t hurt myself.’
The sense of the cotton support is much better than I thought. As soon as he saw the spear, he threw himself backwards to minimize damage.
But don’t be discouraged by that.
At least, the fact that the face holder avoided it means that he himself judged the attack just now to be threatening.
Now that the guy is flustered, you have to push hard enough to have a chance.
Kicks off the ground, leaps forward, and hacks the front with a sword.
Dina Ranmu.
Dina亂舞.
Slowly!
The head of the face immediately moved her body and seemed to try to avoid it, but she couldn’t completely avoid it and she was hit by a part of Dina’s rampage.
“It was cut.”
She’s not completely dismembered, but she’s definitely pierced her skin and inflicted a direct wound.
“Kyaaagh——!”
An enraged man-faced landlord loses her temper and approaches this way, wielding her two blades at her haphazardly.
A black wind blows here as strong as the wind from an electric fan.
Ugh… ! This… !
It looks like Dina Nanmu!
Since the root of Dina Ranmu is just randomly chopping things up, there is no choice but to resemble them.
But… But she can’t avoid it… !
Because it’s [Romantic]… !
As a man, the inevitable fate!
I can’t stand colliding with the same skills!!
I also advance toward the face holder approaching me, wielding her sword at random.
While using Dina Ranmu!
Dina Ranmu is originally a technique to hack at random without thinking.
In the current situation, it can be said to be the most effective means of attack.
Because they wield it at random, regardless of whether they can see it in front of their eyes or not.
Kagak! Visor! Kagagagak! Visor! Visor!
Inmyeonjiju’s chopping and Dina’s rampage finally collide.
It’s cool… !
The wounds are increasing one by one on the body, but I can’t stand this romance.
Seriously, I can’t stand it!
Besides, now I’m under the penalty of having my eyesight and magic detection sealed, so I can easily subdue only the original Faceplate.
Slowly!
If we clash like this, of course, I have no choice but to win.
“Okay… !”
The sound of a certain part that had been completely severed and blown off as it caught on the tip of the sword fell to the floor was heard.
The position at the time of the cut was solid, judging by the size, it must have cut off about one leg.
Of course, it didn’t look like it was a forelimb with a blade on it… It was significant that one leg, which was essential for balance, was amputated.
The victory has completely passed over to me.
The voice of the face holder who screamed gradually faded away and soared upwards.
It seems to have thought that it would be caught soon after running away, so it is running upward through the spider’s web.
“Looks like you might miss it!”
Immediately changed the shape of the sword and fired at the flying face support.
Spaaagh!
