Episode 188 – Seongro
The body is regenerating at a rapid rate.
‘But I can’t just wait until everything gets better.
The other person is a being without intelligence. There was no way they could wait for me to recover in this situation.
Even if the enemy was intelligent, it was a situation where one could not be expected to wait.
Even if I was in perfect condition to begin with, I was behind in speed.
I became acutely aware of the blow just now. You shouldn’t look and react.
‘We have to move in advance.’
Before Hyeolbi moves, predict the route in advance.
Kiiiiing———!
The purple star rotates like crazy. My eyeballs became hot and tingled.
This was because magical power was pushed into the eyes beyond their limit.
“Ugh….”
I felt hot blood flowing from my eyes. However, I achieved what I wanted.
‘I can see it.’
I can see his next move.
It is not a prophecy or anything like that. It was a prediction that had reached its extreme.
Countless amounts of information flow in through the field of vision.
The body of this guy is meticulously woven, unlike anything other than a body made by compressing the body.
Muscle movement, blood vessels twitching. Twitching skin.

Furthermore, the air around him sways, and the world’s environment changes every time he takes a step.
Literally all the information in the world was pouring into my head through my eyes.
My head is hot. The pain that felt like my brain was melting was threatening my life.
But it doesn’t matter.
‘A short decisive battle.’
This problem could be solved by killing him before his brain melted.
I didn’t know that it could be formidable. Even if my perspective on the world suddenly changed, it might be useless in front of a stronger enemy.
However, for some reason, confidence was supporting me.
‘I can win.’
No, should I call this confidence?
This was a certainty. The strange sensation that I always felt right before cutting off an enemy’s head was dominating my mind at this moment.
As if forewarning that I am about to kill him.
Wow!
When he extends his left hand, his left hand splits into dozens of branches and flies towards me with sharp tentacles.
If you get hit even once, you will die instantly from the subsequent attacks.
Then, if it doesn’t work out, it’s okay, right?
Normally, I would have thrown my body to the side, but this time I didn’t.
This was because his vision was strengthened beyond its limits and he was contemplating the inside of his body, which he could not see.
‘You can’t move like this.’
There are too many unnecessary movements. There is no need to avoid it excessively.
My burning brain finished interpreting my body in an instant.
How to move your body and how to handle this body.
Everything, down to the minute movements of each muscle.
It wasn’t difficult to execute it as is.
The body, which had begun to surpass even superhumans, made its decision and moved on its own.
‘You can just take one step from here.’
Take a step to the side according to your judgment. Even that wasn’t excessive movement.
It just fell off slightly to the side.
At that moment, the tentacle that arrived first narrowly passed over my shoulder.
It was close enough to feel the tentacles. But no wounds occurred.
If I hadn’t taken a step just now, my shoulder would have been pierced.
‘Optimal path, minimal movement.’
The movements that achieved extreme efficiency that I wanted to practice in the virtual labyrinth training were becoming a reality at this moment.
I see dozens of tentacles rushing towards me one after another.
Where should I avoid?
No matter which direction I dodge, the next tentacles will fly in to pierce my body.
‘Don’t overthink it.’
Move according to your instincts.
Rather, take one step forward.
Do not avoid. All you have to do is cut it all down.
If you want to protect your body, shouldn’t you get rid of everything that can hurt you?
They say the best defense is offense, and there is nothing wrong with what our ancestors said.
When I decided to cut everything down, the whole world suddenly started to slow down.
It hasn’t really slowed down. It’s just that their movements couldn’t keep up with the speed of my thinking.
My brain burns even hotter. The speed of accidents is accelerating.
‘Just avoid the first tentacle.’
Too close to swing a sword. Therefore, just twist your upper body slightly and let it flow lightly.
At the same time, raise the sword. The purpose was to cut off the second tentacle.
It was then that something unusual occurred.
‘What is that?’
Window? Rather, it was like sharp thorns on both sides.
Dozens of spears of light were embedded in each tentacle.
It wasn’t someone’s attack. That was only visible to my eyes.
‘The path of light.’
No, it’s a little different. It was definitely a path of light, but now it was changing into something else, completely attuned to me.
‘I’ve heard it before. It is said that the shape of the path visible to each Sword Saint is different.’
Then, this is probably the way I will see the world in the future.
The spear of light shattered and changed shape little by little each time the tentacle moved.
The path essentially shows the optimal path to cut down the enemy.
It is natural that the optimal route changes from moment to moment depending on the other party’s movements.
‘It doesn’t matter. ‘Because I can catch up with that.’
You have to do it even if you don’t have it. It wasn’t simply because lives were at stake.
‘This is my turning point.’
Will we break down the wall and move forward?
Or will I be left out and die as a failure who dreamed of saving the world?
The star paths embedded in the tentacles were each of different colors.
It shows the order in which to swing the sword.
‘The guy in front is the darkest.’
I swing Durandal as is.
The body moving along the optimal path was several times faster than usual.
This is because I showed off the most perfect movements that fit my body.
And finally, Durandal cuts down the tentacles along the castle path.
‘This easy?’
The tentacles were cut so easily that it seemed like a waste of time.
It felt as if my head had been cut with the world’s most precious sword.
‘I thought it would be incredibly hard.’
Does this mean that no matter how much a corpse is put together, it is just a lump of corpse?
I thought that maybe I had become that much stronger in this brief moment, but I quickly pushed it aside.
Because he is not the main character in the novel, there is almost no possibility of that happening.
“Don’t think about anything else. “It continues right away.”
I muttered to myself even though no one was listening.
It was to improve concentration. At the same time, it also proved that he was relaxed enough to open his mouth while fighting.
The castle road unfolds strangely before your eyes. They are all connected by different tentacles.
‘Cut everything down.’
From what I just did, it wasn’t that difficult.
Rush forward and swing Durandal. The series of attacks continues to the point where it is difficult for even one to follow.
Dinananmu.
It was no longer wielded at random, but was beginning to form a form.
All of the swung swords passed through the castle path, and at the same time, the thing that was shining golden light flickered with a purple flash, and its tentacles fell off with a snap.
‘It’s complicated.’
That was all.
The large number of tentacles is just annoying. It didn’t come across as a formidable enemy like before.
“Kiruk….”
With a confused reaction, Hyeolbi raises his remaining right arm. This was before all the remaining tentacles had been removed.
It swelled up in an instant like the blow that hit me earlier.
Buuung!
It tore through the air and rushed towards me sideways.
However, it also could not escape the influence of Seongro.
Faaat!
This time it is not in the form of a window. A huge circle of light was drawn in the center of the huge right arm.
As if telling us to cut through that place.
But now was not the time. Although the circle of light was becoming darker by the minute, it was still a color that was pushed down the priority list.
‘Not yet. Not yet. ‘You have to get your timing right.’
Then, the circle of light, which has become increasingly darker, begins to sparkle and shine.
“Now!”
The sword energy of the spear prepared in advance is released with maximum power.
At the same time, one of the tentacles that was overlapping in the path was also pierced.
Pow-!
The huge right arm explodes with a circle of light and a round shape! And it exploded.
Boo!
The arm, which had been cut off from half way up and had a shorter reach, passed in front of my nose without being able to hit me.
The cut surface pierced by the spear was clearly visible.
In the process, a little bit of rotten blood spattered, but even that was avoided by simply stepping back.
‘I even used a half-tone on a kid like this?’
I couldn’t believe it. I wish it was just a dream.
All interest in Hyeolbi disappeared. I just thought I wanted to deal with it quickly and go find the blood map.
Did it respond to that unconsciousness?
Faaat!
Once again, the shining star was illuminating the guy’s neck, head, and heart from various angles.
When I saw that, I burst into laughter.
There were countless ways to kill him.
The guy who felt like a huge wall just a moment ago is now much weaker than me.
