Chapter 333 If
ability is an engine, mana is like fuel. No matter how good an engine is, it cannot deliver power far beyond fuel.
Any action that cools you down, accelerates your speed, or increases your concentration goes into the right fuel.
That’s why it was uncommon to have an absolute impact on such a wide scale like Sandra’s ‘Eye of Restriction’.
Shin Yooseong was convinced.
“I want to ask you one last question before the battle. … What have you sacrificed for this power?”
Shin Yoo-seong said as he looked at the world where the sky, land, and sea turned crimson. Such a large-scale barrier was not a power that could be realized with 6th grade mana without the help of artifacts.
“What have you given up on?”
There is only one case where this power can be exerted. Whether it was in the form of a contract or a form of magic, it was a case of paying for the ability.
“What did I give up?”
Sandra, holding a sword, faced Shin Yoo-seong. The cool eyes that can even feel life are looking at Shin Yoo-seong, but they were not directed at Shin Yoo-seong.
“You are obsessed with the strangest part. Didn’t you come to ruin my revenge?”
Sandra remembered Shin Yoo-seong trying to hold back his revenge until the end. It was possible to know what kind of class Shin Yoo-seong was by seeing that he did not give up his will even in a situation where his life was in danger if his identity was discovered.
Even if it breaks, it doesn’t bend.
A straight man as if he drew a straight line.
“The strange attraction I felt the moment I saw you was probably because you were the exact opposite of me. Like a crow longing for a swan, it is a path of no return to me.”
One palm turned upwards.
Shootaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-
sandra looked at the crimson rain that was pouring down like the blood that filled the battlefield, little by little she searched for her memory.
“The person who taught me the sword was a renowned knight. He was a true master who taught me chivalry before I even grabbed a sword.”
Whoops-!
Sandra’s eyes flashed, and as she gripped her sword, the surrounding blood pooled. It was a form of strengthening the body by drawing mana from the blood.
“but-!”
Booung-!
Shin Yoo-seong gave up defense and stepped back due to the tremendous wind pressure emitted by the sword, but Sandra’s red sword spirit swept the entire front without discrimination.
Kwaaang-!
However, Sandra smiled at Shin Yoo-seong, who was still standing proudly. Seeing how easily he blocks attacks using body reinforcement, I had to admit that he was the biggest stumbling block in this war.
“…My teacher lost his life in vain in an ambush by dozens of people.”
Is it really Seiden’s spy?
Then why are you curious about your own situation? Who the hell was it to block the attack of one of the kings of the archipelago?
Sandra’s mind was complicated.
It was difficult to empathize and see through someone’s heart. Sandra was used to just using her eyes to see through and to have one-sided relationships.
“I threw away my pride and claimed my innocence to the humans who were his subordinates, but it was useless.”
Sandra recalled the day her strong teacher died in vain in front of her eyes.
“It was the moment I first had a wish. I wished many times to have the power to solve this whole situation.”
However, the girl’s wish never reached God. Nothing changed in reality and Sandra was taken to the execution ground as a criminal.
It’s a memory I can’t forget even now.
Sandra remembered her brother’s eyes as he looked at her, giving up everything. Because of his natural temperament, he was afraid of even small animals and locked himself in the library reading books…. What did he go through to be so calm in the face of death?
“Those who gathered in the square insulted my family as sinners, but to me they were a stern father, a benevolent mother and a timid older brother.”
There was no reason why they met such a miserable end. Those who made false accusations were weak, and those who gave orders were strong. The reason is that’s all.
“I have already lost everything. So there was nothing to give up. All I did was a desperate wish.”
want revenge
want to have power
I want to survive in this world where only winners and losers are divided.
Even at the moment when a lump of hot metal was branded as a crime, Sandra wished for it.
“The day when vengeance is over, if only I can have the power to repay them. It would be fine even if my life ended… I just thought that.”
The god Sandra believed in could not save Sandra, but the power of constraint granted her wish. He gave strength to Sandra and prepared everything for revenge.
“Do you really mind if that revenge is the end for you?”
In response to Shin Yoo-seong’s question, Sandra nodded, saying it was natural.
“okay. Even if it does, it doesn’t matter. I’m rather thankful that I let my miserable life come to an end like this.”
As if no further words were needed, Sandra stanced as she held the sword in both hands.
“So… if you value your life!”
coo-!
The moment Sandra hit the ground with her foot.
The spot where the rainwater splashed was dented and red mana gathered.
“Move!”
This kind of attack has not been common for Shin Yoo-seong until now. He wasn’t aiming for a blind spot, nor was he aiming for a blind spot with an acceleration that was difficult to follow like Ryujin.
Sandra’s only weapon is strength.
He was ignorantly wielding the overflowing mana surrounded by several layers of reinforcement.
‘There’s no need to hang out in the same way.’
What is the reason to bump into force against force?
Shin Yoo-
seong kicked off the side of his sword with a half-moon-shaped kick, flexibly deflecting Sandra’s attack.
‘The next important thing is.’
There is inevitably a gap between attack and attack. Sandra, who failed to attack, was still unable to retrieve the sword as the axis of power was twisted.
Chow-!
Shin Yoo-seong’s legs drawing a half-moon came back in front of him. It was one movement.
However, Shin Yoo-seong went further.
As if he would not waste even the action of retrieving his feet, he used his body’s recoil to spur the government.
thud!
The feeling of a heavy blow delivered as the fist touches the thick armor.
“Kuh-!”
Sandra stuck her sword into the ground to keep from retreating, but the shock was not mellow.
Steel armor was meaningless to Shin Yoo-seong, who handles waves of mana. The blow delivered through the object was delivered to Sandra as it was.
paralyze the body
mind-numbing pain.
With just one match, each other’s skills were judged. Sandra’s risk level was level 6, but that was only when the ‘Eye of Restriction’ was applied.
Now that Shin Yoo-seong has become a woman’s body and is free from restrictions. If you only looked at combat power, you couldn’t be the target of comparison.
“Why on earth… you mean you’re blocking my way now? There is only one step left!”
Sandra, who was certain of defeat, felt complete despair.
“Without you, all of this great work would be over!”
Sandra howled and raised her mana to the limit and swung her sword. The red rain boils like lava, and every time Sandra swings her sword, thump! It hit Shin Yooseong with a sound.
“This time… again! Is it lack of power!? Then why! I threw everything away, why the hell-!”
Sandra’s high-purity mana mass tried to melt everything it touched, but it couldn’t keep up with the new meteor’s movement.
Wolyeongbobeop, a type of throwing god.
Sandra just chased after the shaking remnant and repeated meaningless knife cutting. The mana in her body was rapidly decreasing, but Sandra could not stop it.
Slashing from the top, side, and front, Sandra continued to pick up speed.
“This is all I have! This revenge is the reason that saved me-!”
However, Sandra’s sword did not reach. No matter how much power she handled, Sandra’s attacks, blinded by excitement, were no different from those of a blind man.
It was a false sense of exaltation.
Instead of immersing themselves in the battle and catching the flow and momentum, they were just swept away by the fear of failure and suppressed the fear by swinging their swords.
Tsui!
A shaky afterimage appeared behind Sandra. If the opponent loses his temper and swings his sword, Shin Yoo-seong just puts his fist into his body, which is full of gaps.
thud-!
This time, Sandra stumbled at the tingling waves of mana flowing through her armor.
“Ouch! I will never lose…”
Sandra said, bloodshot in her berserk eyes. The red rain water flowing down her eyes seemed to represent Sandra’s emotions.
How many moments have you endured with pain and patience under the purpose of revenge?
But everyone here knew the outcome.
“Sa Sandra-sama…”
“This one-sided…”
Sandra would have thought of a desperate battle in the rain in the worst case, but the result was one-sided.
Shin Yooseong didn’t even have trouble breathing, while Sandra’s whole body was in a mess.
“Even if you say that… isn’t it you who gave up already?”
The one who knows the outcome of the battle better than anyone else is none other than Sandra.
“For me… that’s all I have left. I can’t give up!”
Sandra was devastated.
Twenty years ago, a young girl who lost her family and one eye overnight became a monarch while wandering around the battlefield.
What was the pain for?
What was the patience for?
Even now, 20 years later, the outcome that befell Sandra was the same.
It was an equally meaningless resistance and was crushed by a stronger force.
“Even if I die-!”
Sandra squeezed out all the mana in her body and rushed at Shin Yoo-seong. However, no matter how much I longed for it and wished for it, there was no miracle. Sandra’s attack did not reach Shin Yuseong, who was not the target of the ability.
Sandra’s sword missed and Shin Yoo-seong, who avoided the sword, dug into Sandra. What faced Sandra in front of her was an obvious defeat.
‘…is this the end?’
The memories of the 20 years that had plagued him and the patience he had endured while moving around the battlefield were all over.
Shin Yoo-seong’s hand pierces through his gaps, and this cursed life. It was clear that it would end all these wars.
All that remains is despair and hopelessness.
Anger was an extravagant emotion for Sandra, who burned everything and turned it into ashes. Sandra even wanted to let go of all this fate and become free.
Chin-
A life that scatters like a panorama.
What is reflected in it is a life full of pain and regret. Thinking that everything was over, Sandra closed her eyes.
The red rain water flowing down the corner of her eyes instead of Sandra, who has lost the ability to shed tears.
Shoot ah-
the end of the story has come.
Now, the long act is over and the Hunter has only the ending to clear the quest by defeating the boss.
chuck.
However, Shin Yoo-seong’s next action was a result that no one in this battlefield could have imagined.
