Episode 233. Each person’s choice (2)
‘Shadow Kill’ is based on high-speed movement using shadows.
Since there is almost no sound or presence, and short-distance space movement is possible, it is a very difficult technique for opponents.
In addition, if Wolyeong’s unique ‘no sound step’ is used…
the sharpness is doubled.
Kaaang!
There is no time to discriminate how many sums come and go in one second.
A dazzling fire flashed.
Kakakakang!
Soon the sword attack was driven like a storm.
“Kuk!”
Namgungcheon took a deep breath.
Wolyeong, who had been in front until just now, suddenly attacked through the shadow behind her.
I avoided it by a piece of paper, but it was close again this time.
Had he reacted even slightly, he would have lost his life.
[Namgung Cheon activates Lv10 ‘Changgung Wuae Sword Technique’!]
The Namgung family’s solo martial arts, which is simple but contains all the techniques of swords, unfolded.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
A light and cheerful sword swept the place where Wolyeong had been.
however.
It was after Wolyeong saw through all the sword paths.
Wolyeong,
who had moved into the shadows, took her stance again.
It is impossible to break through Wolyeong within a short period of time, even if the sword was handed down directly from the master of the Namgung family.
“Damn it! Cheon Yoo-seong!”
In the end, Namgungcheon made a decision.
“Don’t just stare at me, help me now!”
It’s a pity that I can’t kill them all alone, but I can’t help it.
Now that this has happened, I have no choice but to borrow someone else’s hand.
But for some reason, Chun Yu-seong did not move easily from his place.
“What are you doing! If you stay like this, everyone will die!”
Namgung-cheon pushed again, but Cheon Yoo-seong just stared at Wolyeong.
A moment of silence passes.
Chun Yoo-seong slowly opened his mouth.
“You… why do you trust him so much?”
“I really want to ask. I heard that you have been with your lord for a long time. So why don’t you trust him?”
flinch
There was a slight change in Chun Yu-seong’s face.
However, the change quickly disappeared.
“That guy and I don’t trust each other. An enemy to be defeated with a sword. Nothing more, nothing less.”
“Do you really think so? My lord… has spoken of you many times. Cold and brusque, but not such a bad fellow.”
“…”
“Chun Yoo-seong! Don’t be fooled by such words, chase him and cut him right now. Wasn’t that what you were with us for?”
As the atmosphere was about to become strange, Namgungcheon raised his voice even more.
“Don’t forget the day you first came to us. Why did you throw everything and join hands with Murim? Remember that!”
purpose.
Yes.
The decision to be with Moorim was by no means a light decision.
That cold decision… Chun Yu-seong chewed it slowly.
“…i get it.”
The conversation ends there.
Quaang!
Chun Yoo-seong turned his back and kicked the seat toward Jin-hyeok.
＊＊＊
Is it because of the flames created by the flame skeletons rampaging?
The windows were stained red.
And Jin-hyeok was waiting for Cheon Yoo-seong in the dazzling light pouring through the window.
“It’s finally here. Well, I expected it to happen like this, but isn’t the timing a bit bad?”
Jinhyuk shrugged.
The current situation is reminiscent of an apocalypse.
Even at this moment, the people of the Empire and Murim risked their lives fighting against the monsters emerging from the abyss.
However,
“I also expected a better stage than this. However, not everything goes like the heart.”
For Chun Yu-seong, this fight was far more important than the end of the world.
Again, this is a manly statement.
facing the top and bottom of the stairs.
The two faced each other.
…silence flows.
Because we know each other so well.
The sword was not easily drawn.
Right then.
coo kung!
A shard of marble fell between them as the ceiling collapsed.
A momentary void created by falling stones.
[Cheon Yoo-seong activates his unique ability ‘Sword Song’!]
The sword pulled out like lightning neatly cut through the fragments.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Through the cut fragments, I could see Jinhyeok holding ‘fangs’ in reverse.
The blade, which was burning black due to the ‘grave of the sword’, collided head-on with Cheon Yoo-seong’s sword.
Chun Yuseong bit his molars.
‘From now on is important.’
Until now, I have fought countless times against dead people like Taishan.
I lost again and again, until the bitter aftertaste of defeat was on my tongue.
Not all of those experiences were meaningless.
Kagagagak!
Chun Yoo-seong, who seemed to be ready for a head-to-head confrontation, moved his sword technique downward in an instant.
The sword that flowed down the black surface aimed at Jinhyeok’s instep.
“…!”
Jinhyeok quickly turned around, but Chun Yuseong was even reading the number.
“Yes. You always tend to shift your center of gravity to the right when caught off guard.”
The sword moved at an odd angle like a snake.
If the timing is off even a little bit, the fangs will hit me first.
It was not natural to make a mistake with the timing.
Quaang!
Jinhyuk’s body staggered greatly.
The right thigh, which should have been a support, trembled slightly.
Right now.
‘This time I will win.’
Only one chance.
Chun Yoo-seong vomited out all the mana he had accumulated.
The typified blue aura was fully expressed through the sword.
Wow!
As the sword strikes exploded, Jinhyeok frantically swung his dagger.
Cacan! Kaaang!
A cold sweat broke out and breathing quickened.
In contrast, Chun Yoo-seong, who seized the victory, ran even more wildly.
And finally.
The moment when there is no place to retreat anymore.
[Chun You-seong activates Lv14 ‘Battlefield Selection’!]
[Cheon You-seong activates Lv14 ‘Ilgito’!]
Two skills were cast at the same time.
‘Battlefield Selection’, where you can choose the stage that is most advantageous to you.
‘Ilgito’ boasts the highest efficiency at 1:1.
All of them were skills that had been honed to the limit for this match.
[The world of images unfolds.]
A world that has turned into an achromatic color.
There were no flames that were burning red, nor demons that were rampaging like crazy.
Jinhyeok clicked his tongue as he looked at the depressing space.
“Don’t you know the expression of putting your hands in your hands? We’re not in our teens, so if we go wild like that, we’ll go out of our way.”
“Even if you’re completely pushed back, the kill is still the same. Did you know? Even if you’re injured in one leg, you can’t defeat me.”
“Maybe. I’ll definitely have a hard time this time.”
“Struggling… a bit? Is that all there is to sentimentality?”
“huh.”
Jinhyuk nodded.
“…I see. Confidence that never loses composure under any circumstances. That is why you are defeated by me today.”
Chun Youseong stretched out his sword.
Tsutsutsu…!
The air changes rapidly.
The firearm that touched the skin had a different feel from any sword Chun Yoo-seong had ever shown.
It had to be.
Because this sword wasn’t that guy’s sword.
‘No way…’
Jinhyeok’s eyes narrowed.
‘Chuhon Sword Dance (追魂劍舞)’
Founder of Chuhon Sayeong
Undoubtedly.
The 10th herb
is said to contain the essence of the numerous herbs in the ’10th Formula’.
It’s obviously not perfect.
However.
Chun Youseong reproduced the fragment of the sword.
‘Thunderstorm’!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Kwaaang!
Dozens of bolts of lightning falling from the sky completely ground the ground.
No matter how strong it was, there were even some holes in the barrier due to ‘battlefield selection’.
“Hee-eok …. Hee-euk. Hee.”
Chun Yu-seong took a deep breath.
done.
If this is the case, no matter how damned I am, I won’t be safe.
‘My… Victory!’
The long, long fight has finally come to an end.
however.
“Thunderstorm is great, but if you don’t learn it with 6 stars or higher, the pattern becomes simple. Even if you use a low-level ceremony, it would have been more likely to increase the degree of completion.”
A familiar voice came from the rising smoke.
too casual.
It’s a way of speaking that doesn’t seem to have taken any damage at all.
Even the rough breathing and moaning from before had all disappeared.
“I can’t believe it… Did you read the movement of the lightning, even that?”
“To be honest, I was a bit surprised. It seems like you’ve been training really hard.”
This is true.
I never imagined that I would see Type 10 of the Soul Resurrection Sword here.
Awesome!
“Don’t show unnecessary sympathy! Get rid of those words!”
Chun Youseong swung his sword again.
However, there was no way that the body, which had exhausted all of its mana from the previous attack, could gain power and speed.
The sword cut through the air.
“Thousands of times.”
Booung!
“Tens of thousands of times! I held the sword. I did not neglect training to the extent that my hands were bleeding.”
Chun Yuseong let out a sound close to a scream.
It was a shout that seemed to explode all at once from the anger and fatigue that had accumulated over the years.
“I gave up everything to defeat you. I threw my everything away! But… why the hell! Why every time… the result is like this…” The tip of the sword was disheveled
.
hooked!
The sword, which had lost its power, stuck to the floor.
“I… don’t know how to win. Now I really… don’t know.”
Chun Yoo-seong’s body trembled slightly.
Outstanding talent and hard work that rivals it.
Even with all of that… a wall you can never get over.
That despair was like a shackle that denied one’s own existence.
Jinhyuk, who watched the scene for a while, opened his mouth.
“You’re the one I’ve been arguing with in the tower the longest.”
Even when everyone else folds and leaves.
The one who fought until the very end was Chun Yu-seong.
At first, that kind of guy was just annoying…
but after everyone left the tower, I realized that I missed even that annoying thing.
Naturally.
Because no one was left around the deceased.
“Talent and hard work. The reason you keep losing even though you have it all is because you are in a hurry.”
“Urgent…?”
“okay. I know you’re nervous, but don’t try to finish everything all at once.”
The Tower is always here.
And…
“I will always be here too.”
Now and in the future.
Once again at the top of the Tower. There was an infinite amount of time left before
we left
. So stop crying. Why is the guy who was called the Sword Saint in the past crying? Take off your form.”
“Who, who cried!”
Chun Yoo-seong quickly wiped his eyes.
It seems that he is really upset when he shows such an appearance.
“I’m sorry for looking ugly. okay. Maybe I’ve lost my original intention.”
Chun Yu-seong smiled bitterly.
The days when just taking on challenges motivated you.
How many different and novel ways to attack your opponent and whether it will work.
Expectations are swollen . “I owe you .
Really…”
There was silence for a moment, as if he hadn’t said anything behind his back.
But it only lasted
for a moment .
“…Thank you.
”
It’s not normal to soothe a child who is crying and fussing. It
was even more difficult to pretend to be in a close contest of strength.
But thanks to such hard work, I cleared the first condition.
Right.
To acquire a new skill . Conditions.

Copying two skills. This is

In addition, due to Wolyeong’s choice, he had to copy ‘Shadow Kill’, so in this fight, he obtained a whopping 3 skills.
Jinhyeok’s mouth went up.
“Didn’t you say you owed me?”
“Hmm? “
Why are you pretending not to know? I told you just now. I owe you.”
“I-I said so…”
Then it’s time to pay off that debt.
Right now.
[The sub-space inventory is opened.]
[French luxury lace. You chose a maid outfit.]
The light of emotion disappeared from Cheon Yoo-seong’s face in an instant,
leaving only deep, dark despair and regret.
