Episode 240
A forest with thick shadows and a narrow field of vision due to tall trees. However, Shin Yuseong closed his eyes and was looking at the scenery from a different perspective.
The sound of non-living things.
rock mana.
tree mana.
It’s a difference smaller than a grain of sand on the beach, but everything was meant to leave traces.
‘For example…’
Hunters with much higher mana than natural objects had a kind of habit. That is to put mana on your body in preparation for a surprise attack.
Of course, the manifested mana soon scattered into the air and lost its shape, but the diluted mana was clearly visible to Shin Yoosung.
‘This mana belongs to the Hunter. It’s not of nature.’
As if finding footprints in the white snow field, Shin Yoo-seong started reasoning by following the trail.
‘Although I erased all the footprints and even the smallest traces. Mana couldn’t be hidden.’
Yes, it is a subtle mana that ordinary hunters cannot even perceive. How to erase invisible traces?
However, Yooseong Shin followed the trail and looked at a tree. A tree placed between the side roads that are naturally guided as if to pass in front of it.
‘Predict the opponent’s entry road. dig a trap …Good workmanship.’
The moment Yuseong Shin entered the forest, he awakened his senses through high concentration. In the first place, he was not an opponent for this trap.
that buck
As if not noticing, the pace was the same as usual.
thud!
However, in an instant, Shin Yoo-seong put his foot on the ground and reached out his other hand toward the tree.
Toow-!
What Shin Yooseong fired with one hand was a highly compressed mass of mana.
Wedge!
The accelerated mass of mana was an attack that would instantly shatter barriers as well as trees if hit.
phut!
“Kuh-!”
Seiji avoided the fatal blow with his innate quickness, but was hit in the leg by a mana lump. Of course, Seiji stood firm. Rather, he asked a question leisurely with a curious face.
“I am ambushed and ambushed first… How did you find out?”
“Mana leaves traces.”
Finding out the opponent’s location with volatilized mana would have sounded crazy to an ordinary hunter, but Seiji believed Shin Yuseong’s words.
“haha! If that’s true, wouldn’t it already belong to the human category?”
fault!
Sage jumps into the air.
Jjiik!
Seiji laughs and tears the scroll from his bosom. The fire that started on the floor hit Shin Yoo-seong.
Whoa!
However, the nature of the flames unleashed by the scroll is also mana.
‘Mana resonance.’
Shin Yuseong twisted the axis of power while matching the wavelength of mana to the same number as the flame.
Parruk!
Instead of going in the direction you were originally going to, let the flames rise toward the other side. Seiji turned into the shadows of the four and threw memorized words from his arms.
Memorization thrown from all sides in an instant.
This was Seiji’s specialty using shadows. A secret technique that allows an attack in the end even if the other side is blocked.
but.
Shin Yuseong drew a circle while touching the air with his palm and rotated.
Whoa!
Black Dragon Hoecheon.
In an instant, along with the whirlwind of mana, the memorization rather flew towards the shadows.
Fuck!
Thanks to this, Seiji, who was hiding in the shadows, had his arm pierced by memorization.
[87% barrier left!]
[Damage 13%]
Despite the system’s warning and an arm injury, Seiji didn’t stop and swung his sword down at Shin Yoo-seong.
“The big sword!”
Swoop.
Shin Yoo-seong twists his body to shift his center of gravity and avoid it lightly. Seiji tried to swing his sword horizontally.
However, hands are faster than swords at short distances.
“At this distance, you will never be able to avoid it.”
With a calm face, Shin Yoo-seong spat out words that sounded like a death sentence.
Throwing Shinryu Bokryongam Slashing Ground
Mana condensed in the hand in an instant.
In Seiji’s eyes, the power of the blast dragon rock was like thousands of blades gathered together like a small sphere.
It was a power that could easily cut things like his own body into pieces and lay waste to the whole area.
‘We must retrieve the attack! If you hit that, there’s no next time!’
Seiji stepped back with a momentary decision, but there was no way he could get his usual speed in the situation where his posture collapsed.
Quaaaaaaah-!
‘I have no choice but to feed the shadows!’
The shadows that rose from the shadows were sucked in in an instant by the power of the black dragon rock crag that raged like a storm.
Shoot ah-!
Like a ferryboat being sucked into the center of a sea whirlwind, the Pooryongam Crusher swallowed the hundreds and thousands of shadows Seiji had pulled out.
‘More than half of the prepared shadows have already been…’
Consuming this amount of shadows in just one sum can I defeat this monster?
What if.
Even if I win this battle, can I win?
okay.
I hate to admit it, but Seiji knew. It will never happen. It was physically impossible for him to win Yooseong Shin or win the national championship.
Blame it-
Seiji took a step back to a safe distance and looked straight at Shin Yoo-seong.
Sueuu-
“Shin Yuseong.”
Slowly, a shadow rose from Seiji’s feet. Seiji laughed and sang Shin Yoo-seong even at the moment when his body was slowly being engulfed in the shadow.
“The day I lost to you. I was really upset. It brought me to tears.”
“…sage?”
It was the first time Shin Yoo-seong had heard such an honest story even though he had interacted with Seiji about Sumire’s work.
Square-square-
Shadow slowly but steadily encroached on Sage like a worm that gnaws at a tree.
Seiji, who was swallowed up by the shadow up to her legs, sighed.
“sorry. I didn’t want to say anything too ugly.”
Haha- and Seiji smiled as usual. However, the emotion contained in that smile seemed calm and resolute.
“But even with all my might, I couldn’t even reach you.”
own weakness.
Make your opponent strong.
“You are really strong. I envy you.”
Acknowledging all these facts is the exclusive property of the strong.
“…If it were you, not me, I’m sure Ryuko’s dream could have come true.”
Seiji smiled brightly.
Suddenly, the shadow wrapped around her entire body. Dozens of hundreds of shadows became one with Sage.
Jijik- Jijik-
“…You are the strongest I have ever recognized. against you I’m happy to show off this skill.”
Seiji’s voice was chaotic, as if it was a mixture of mechanical sounds and someone else’s voice.
Kwak-
clenched fists.
Seal for the sake of magic.
“Goes!”
