Chapter 254 The
virtual portal was a simulation space that perfectly moved reality.
“I’m really going to die…”
Kim Eun-ah, whose body was ruined thanks to her, was vividly feeling the pain and details of the wound.
“There is no guarantee that I will meet Yooseong even if I go down the forest…”
How many people are left in this competition now? What is certain is that there have been quite a few dropouts among the candidates for the championship now that Adela has fallen.
‘Except for Ryujin from Skyscraper. There is no candidate who can threaten Yooseong in battle.’
If there was a variable, it was the existence of Dian, who showed a great surprise against Adela.
‘…Can I be of any help in this state?’
Kim Eun-ah checked her physical condition. Kim Eun-ah limped and Mana crawled on the floor. I lost so much mana, is it possible to recover naturally?
limp limp.
Kim Eun-ah, who was limping down from overuse of her body, recalled the past for no reason.
[I really can’t walk… Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa of herself]
Shin Yooseong gave his back to himself as he stumbled after the fierce battle with cheats. Because I knew Shin Yoo-seong’s personality of always being considerate of others, he was carried meekly, which didn’t suit him.
[good. Then… Excuse me.]
The experience was not as bad as I thought. Of course, it was embarrassing, but it was very warm…
[Hold on tight.]
Maybe it was because she was deeply immersed in her old memories.
‘…Well, let’s go down a bit.’

Dian runs away towards the forest road.
Aakman, who held his breath and watched the scene on the screen, accidentally spilled Elan next to him.
“hey. I have a question, but have you ever seen the party leader’s ability?”
Speaking of that ability, Arkman said words like passwords. Elan smiled lightly.
“of course. Thanks to that, I was able to solve difficult operations with ease.”
okay.
Certainly, with Dian’s skill, he could break the opponent’s guard and take advantage of a surprise attack. However, Aakman, who had a relatively short time with Dian, had a question.
“But I don’t understand it very often. To be able to mimic the image at will… Isn’t it far from being a fire ability?”
The ability that can be displayed according to the amount of mana a hunter has varies widely, but at least the effect of the skill according to the nature of the innate characteristic often had a common feature.
If it’s electricity, it’s the application of a skill based on electricity. Necromancers were based on black magic, and in the case of cold air, most of them were based on ice.
“Ackman. If you think of it as fire, it looks different, but it’s actually the same. The party leader… So, it’s because the attribute Dian uses isn’t real fire.”
“Isn’t it fire?”
Aakman asked with a surprised face.
Elan nodded. Dian’s characteristics were so unique that even Ackman, a member of his party, did not know about them.
“okay. not fire Should I say it’s close to a curse? Most of the characteristics are innate at birth… but that’s not the case with Dian-sama.”
Elan’s difficult explanation, like an enigma, made Aakman more difficult to understand, let alone understand.
“Then what kind of fire is the party leader using?”
“Exactly, it is an aspiration in the form of fire. It’s not fire. Although you can take that form the moment you wish to make it in the form of fire. It’s more like a lump of mana.”
Desire in the form of fire.
A curse that pretends to be a trait.
It was difficult to explain Dian’s power with an accurate concept, which was not even clear to compare.
“Well, he explained the difficult things with simple words. He has a knack for explaining difficult words more difficult.”
In the end, Elan pondered for a while and grabbed the artificial flower in the vase for easy explanation.
“What does this look like?”
“It is a flower.”
“okay. It is in the shape of a flower. But the essence is paper and tape. That never changes.”
Ah-! I admired it. Elan smiled proudly and removed the petals of the artificial flower.
“You seem to have a vague understanding. Our party leader’s abilities are like this piece of paper. It is emitted in the form of fire, but the nature of its properties is magic. It is also of the nature of a curse.”
After understanding everything, Aakman had a question.
“Then you’re saying it doesn’t have to be a flame, right? Even if you can’t copy the nature, you can make any shape you want…”
The question I’m going to ask now is not about principles. He was curious about his party leader, Dian, and the magic that was given to him.
“Then why is it a fire?”
It doesn’t matter if it’s not fire.
The concentrated mana mass has power in itself. If so, did the trait passed down to them, including Dian, take the form of fire?
Elan murmured at Aakman’s question and spat out a short sigh.
“well… . no one will ever know that But having watched him closely, I think I know why.”
Flicker-
Elan burned the petals of the artificial flower, or just the paper.
“Isn’t it because they thought that the magic they carried on… resembled a flame that left only ash in the place where it passed?”
“Something philosophical. I didn’t want to hear that answer.”
However, Elan’s words seemed to help his understanding, and Aakman turned his head to look at the screen. It was Dian on the screen, but someone other than Dian was warming up.
“Looking at it that way… It’s a very convenient ability. Surely, if you look like that, you have no choice but to be vigilant, right?”
Dian’s transformation into a stranger so completely made even Aakman admire.

A huge magical storm created by the collision between Adela and the Bone Dragon. Even though it was not clear whether it was an enemy or an ally, Shin Yoo-seong was sure that the traces led to the forest.
‘More than 5 people entered the forest, and the location of the footprints is closer to tracking than fleeing…’
The distance of the footprints is different for those who run away and those who chase. In addition, judging from the number of people, he had to keep in mind the situation that would have led to another battle later.
rustle rustle.
The sound of rustling leaves can be heard in the distance. Yooseong Shin turned his head toward the source of the sound.
“Yooseong-ah…”
“Is it Eun-ah?”
It was Kim Eun-ah, who staggered out of the bush with a voice that was all too familiar, holding onto her shoulder with one arm.
Kim Eun-ah let out a rough breath as if her happy expression was seriously hurt for a while.
“It’s good to see you early…. I just had a battle upstairs. I won, but the wounds…”
Kim Eun-ah staggered as she grabbed one arm. Shin Yoo-seong urgently helped Kim Eun-ah.
“How have you been?”
When Shin Yoo-seong asked about what had happened so far, Kim Eun-ah paused for a moment.
“I joined with Sumire and fought Adela. How did he win… but Sumire was eliminated.”
“Is that why you eliminated Adela and ran away along the forest road?”
“…huh. yes. Adela is stronger than I thought.”
Let’s drop our heads and answer calmly, as if Kim Eun-ah has no face. Shin Yooseong smiled lightly and told a meaningful story.
“okay? Is that all you know?”
“uh? huh. yes. All I know is that there But…”
Kim Eun-ah, who ignored Shin Yoo-sung’s laughter, carefully touched her elbow with her index finger and asked.
“…Hey, if I’m okay, can I be carried on my back? That… injured my leg.”
Shin Yoo-seong looked down at Kim Eun-ah and raised one hand.
“figure. voice. Then there’s the talk. What a great ability.
Hwa-ak –
Shin Yoo-seong’s fingertips quickly squeeze toward the body. Kim Eun-ah hurriedly twisted her body, but her arm was pierced.
“Ugh-!”
Kim Eun-ah, who quickly stepped back, put on a vicious expression and bubbling – her body turned into black foam and began to boil.
“Kuh- how did you know? My transformation was perfect…”
Dian, who soon regained his original form, asked with his eyes wide open, and Shin Yoo-seong lightly brushed his hands.
“I guess I couldn’t imitate his personality.”
If Shin Yoo-seong knew Kim Eun-ah, even if she wanted to be carried, she would have expressed it around for a long time. Kim Eun-ah was shy and wasn’t used to relying on others.
“Actually, I knew you weren’t Eun-ah from the moment I first saw you. I just wanted to hear the information you knew.”
“…from the moment you first saw me?”
Dian grabbed the stabbed arm with his fingertips. Let’s feel the burning pain in the arm that was infiltrated by Shin Yoo-seong’s mana. As if it was cumbersome, he removed his arm and threw it away.
Bubbling-
Then Dian’s right arm fell to the floor and disappeared as a bubble. Shin Yuseong looked at the terrible scene with an expressionless face and uttered a short chant.
“…You smell like the dead.”
Shin Yuseong’s words were not metaphors.
Dian smelled closer to death than the undead that Sumire was dealing with. The curse spell that had been handed down by using hunters as hosts gradually swallowed Dian, and before he knew it, the spell instead of Dian’s spirit became the main body.
“Still, I could feel the truth in your words. Is it true that Eun-ah ran away along the forest road?”
Diane didn’t even laugh.
From the beginning, he felt cold anger at the fact that he was being used on the palm of Shin Yoo-seong.
“also. It might have been your side, not Adela, who needed to be eliminated. …you are too dangerous.”
“then. Was it you who eliminated Adela? It must have been a surprise attack through this ability…”
“Why do you think so?”
Shin Yooseong responded to Dian’s question as if it were natural.
“Because you are too weak compared to Adela to compete head-on.”
A short but very poignant word. Now, in a situation where there is no way to escape, Dian made a final decision by looking at Shin Yoo-seong.
“okay? Then let’s check it out. Our magic formula that has been handed down over and over… A genius nurtured by the king. Which of the two is stronger?”
This is surprise, escape, and trickery.
It was Dian’s first and last head-to-head match that finally reached the end.
