Episode 4 A Lucky Day (4)
Chain-shaped electric shocks scattered in all directions like a net and rushed rapidly towards Jaehyun’s torso.
A fierce flow of magical power. It was an attack far beyond what Jaehyun could handle.
But for some reason, Jaehyun didn’t avoid it. He just stared blankly at the «Chain of Lightning» flying towards him.
Quaang! Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
A bolt of lightning struck Jaehyun’s body. The electric chain tore through Jaehyun’s body again and again.
Jung Woo-min’s attack was fierce and fast. Jaehyun gritted it.
The < < Chain of Lightning > > was peeling off Jaehyun’s skin. He tried his best not to lose consciousness, but ended up bending his knees.
“Heuk!”
Jaehyun’s body staggered as he vomited blood, then rolled on the floor. The chain of electricity imbued with magical energy engulfed Jaehyun’s body and made a high-pressure crackling sound.
Tsutsutsutsutsu!
“Because I really don’t understand. The father is the son after the wife.”
Jung Woo-min sneered at Jae-hyeon, who was dying from being electrocuted by his Chain of Lightning.
“Isn’t it? Does your brother think so too?”
Jung Woo-min trampled Jae-hyun under his feet with a cold expression all the time.
After a while.
Finally, when Jae-hyeon’s body stiffened and stopped moving, Jung Woo-min gathered his magic and turned around.
Jaehyun seemed to have no strength to move unless a miracle happened.
But then.
Woo woo woo . . . .
The ground vibrates and the boundary surface on which it was standing began to fragment into small pieces .
Jung Woo-min’s forehead twisted.
‘what? What is this horsepower? Min Jae-hyun must have already died. Even…….’
A fierce mana storm felt from the back. Jung Woo-min felt goose bumps all over his body.
‘The magical power is getting stronger and stronger.’
Jung Woo-min immediately stopped walking and quickly turned around and took a combat stance.
As expected, the flow of mana was flowing from Jaehyun’s body. The energy of life tinged with blue light wrapped around Jaehyun’s dying body.
Jung Woo-min’s face stiffened. Jaehyun’s body was wriggling.
“What is… is going on?”
Jung Woo-min shook his head and collected mana in his fingertips again. He recited an incantation to use the 《Chain of Lightning》.
This time, I continued casting with upbringing, not in my heart. With a stronger attack, he intended to cut off Jaehyun’s breath all at once.
‘This time I have to finish it for sure.’
I don’t know, but I have a strong sense of that. Jung Woo-min quickly completed casting and prepared to shoot for Jae-hyun.
Ughhh…….
Magical letters that ordinary people can’t read at all were written in the air, and soon began to gather at Jung Woo-min’s fingertips.
After a while.
The letters changed into a yellowish chain in conjunction with Jung Woo-min’s magical power.
Cheer up!
“Now please really die.”
The electric shock shot from Jung Woo-min’s fingertips flew towards Jae-hyun’s torso.
however.
Jaehyun didn’t dodge this time either, just staring blankly at the lightning rushing towards him.
at that time. Jung Woo-min’s expression when he saw Jae-hyun’s face was stained with bewilderment.
‘A person who will die soon… is he laughing?’
Incomprehensible words flowed from Jaehyun’s bloody mouth.
“……mounting. The Lost Eye of Odin.”
―Equip the 《Odin’s Lost Eye》 item.
―The item is bound to the user.
“I know. You can’t sell it anymore.”
―The active skill 《Absolute Calculation》 was acquired by equipping 《Odin’s Lost Eye》.
Along with the system sound, Jung Woo-min’s attack touched Jae-hyun’s torso.
It looked exactly like it had been touched.
Wooooooo……! Pachang!
Jung Woo-min’s face crumpled fiercely. He cried out in disbelief at what had happened before his eyes.
“How the hell could this be! The magic…scattered?!”
The < Chain of Lightning > rushing through Jaehyun’s body was completely destroyed and scattered like grains of sand. Remnants of magic floated around Jaehyun.
Seeing Jung Woo-min’s tired face, Jae-hyun raised his right arm.
“Jung Woo-min.”
– You have learned a new skill.
―Displays skill information.
[Active Skill]
Name: Absolute Operation (絕大演算)
Rating: EX
Stats: –
Understand and destroy the structure of magic operation.
1. Reverse the magic, transform it into a formula, and destroy it.
2. Magic that is destroyed by 《Absolute Calculation》 consumes different horsepower depending on the rank.
“I will kill you as painfully as possible.”
Jaehyun’s left eye was colored with a blazing golden light.
―The effect of 《Odin’s Lost Eye》 is activated.
―Consumes one blank card.
―Copy the skill 《Chain of Lightning》.
Soft notification sound. Soon, bright yellow lightning began to form from Jaehyun’s raised right arm. A magic that perfectly matches Jung Woo-min’s < Chain of Lightning >.
Jung Woo-min’s brow furrowed.
‘How can I put my 《Chain of Lightning》 on a martial arts subject!
Jung Woo-min looked at Jae-hyun standing in front of him with a puzzled expression.
A completely different atmosphere from just a moment ago, and a body with almost intimidating mana flowing out.
However, the most surprising thing was the fact that Jaehyun was wearing his magic < Chain of Lightning > on his arm.
A magic that took many years to master even for those who were considered brilliant.
Furthermore, Jaehyun is a fighter-based radar.
But how can I use the high-level magic 《Chain of Lightning》?
In a situation that was not easily understood, Jung Woo-min bit his lip.
“I don’t know how you can use such high-level magic… Do you think you can deal with me with just that?”
at that time. Jaehyun’s lips opened slowly.
“well. Whether you can do it or not.”
Jaehyun smiled lightly.
“You decide for yourself.”
The < Chain of Lightning >, which was expanding its magical power with fierce momentum, left Jaehyun’s hand and rushed towards Jung Woomin’s torso.
The attack was several times faster than Jung Woo-min’s earlier shot.
“Big!”
Jung Woo-min hurriedly deployed magic in response to Jae-hyun’s attack and deployed a defensive force field.
‘shit! This is…….’
Kwakwagwawang!
Jung Woo-min, who narrowly blocked the attack, glared at Jae-hyun from the front with a heavy breath.
‘It’s far more powerful than my magic…!’
* * *
Boom! bang! Quaang!
A relentless stream of attacks of reappearance. Jung Woo-min managed to break the chain using the force field, aiming for a gap in the representation. However, Jaehyun’s attack was incredibly fast.
The image of Jaehyun attacking me while burning my life.
It was like a magic beast.
And finally.
Faster than Jung Woo-min’s defense, the chain of re-enactment pierced him.
‘shit! This can’t be avoided…….’
Chow!
Four chains pouring down on Jung Woo-min.
At the moment of desperation, he was finally able to escape Jaehyun’s attack and was pierced through his body.
Jung Woo-min, unable to move, and Jae-hyeon walking towards him.
“Oh! Queue!”
Jung Woo-min struggled, but Jae-hyun lowered his raised hand as if he didn’t want to hear it anymore.
Cheer up!
The chain pierced Jung Woo-min’s chest, making a sound through the air.
“Heuk!”
A blow that aimed precisely at the heart without an inch of error.
Soon after, Jung Woo-min’s body sagged.
“done.”
The battle was won, but Jaehyun was also in a bad situation.
Thanks to using all the mana in his body to attack Jung Woo-min, not a single mana remained in his body and his physical strength reached the floor, so he couldn’t even move.
“I got a mythical level item at best… and I die in vain like this.”
Somehow I was lucky today.
Jaehyun aloofly accepted his situation and closed his eyes.
death.
A fearful word that I had to face countless times while working as a radar.
But in reality, it’s even more so.
‘cold.’
Jaehyun closed his eyes in the abyss of the dungeon and the spirit of the dungeon.
―You have downloaded a new operating system. Would you like to run it?
* * *
―Running a new operating system heals all your wounds and takes you back in time to what you most desire.
A strange, unknown voice that I heard right before I lost consciousness.
Jaehyun couldn’t even tell whether the voice he heard in his distant mind was real or an hallucination.
But there was one thing I could tell for sure.
“You… you’re saying… you’re going to save me?”
A decision must be made before normal thinking is paralyzed. Jaehyun squeezed out all his remaining energy and muttered to the voice that resonated in his head.
‘Regression…’? I don’t know what you’re talking about…’
“Yes. Try it.”
Jaehyun’s lips fell, and at the same time, his body fell to the floor.
―Run the new operating system 《Nornir System》.
―From now on, you have become the «Adversary» of the lofty Æsir.
―You have acquired the passive skill 《The One Who Attracts the Attention of the Gods》.
―You have acquired the passive skill 《The Eye of Absolute God》.
-The anti-Aesir gods watch over you.
* * *
―Return to the time when users wished.
―The current date is November 15, 2020.
―……You have succeeded in recovering 20% of your body. Restrictions on non-combat activities have been lifted.
―The new quest 《Relax is the mother of success!》 has been automatically accepted.
By the time he no longer felt the pain that gripped his heart, Jaehyun opened his eyes.
“uh?”
And the next moment he was in deep embarrassment.
“What the heck is this… what’s the situation?”
Jaehyun got up and looked around the bed he was lying on.
Soft duvets and pillows. The warm atmosphere of the room and the subtle aroma of coffee. A bit worn out, but still wearable pajamas. School uniforms from middle school hanging on the wall.
It was strange. He must have died after the battle with Jung Woo-min a while ago.
Jaehyun muttered as he pressed his thumb to his temple with a headache.
“Ha… Am I dreaming right now? This is definitely the house I used to live in…….”
But what was most absurd was the quest window in front of him.
[Sub Quest]
Rest is the mother of success!
You are a critically ill patient who miraculously survived the brink of death. Give your body plenty of rest to recover your stamina.
―Recovers up to 80% of HP.
Difficulty: F
Stamina: 28/140
Compensation: Blank Card × 1
“Suddenly, going back 10 years ago wasn’t enough, so there’s even a quest window?”
‘Originally, there was no quest-like function in the Aesir system.’
Jaehyun stared blankly at the status window floating in the air. He began to organize his thoughts to understand the situation he was in.
‘Let’s start over. First of all, I didn’t die in the fight with Jung Woo-min. The reason is?
Probably because of the new system. Thanks to that, I’m still going back to the past.’
It was hard to believe, but Jaehyun immediately agreed.
It is a mentality that has already been trained by the appearance of Yggdrasil and monsters in 2011.
It’s not the first time he’s been through such a bizarre thing, and if there’s one thing Jaehyun has learned from repeating situations like this.
It was the fact that adapting and judging quickly was the most important thing.
‘If the information provided by the system is correct, now is 11 years ago. It’s the third year of middle school.’
―We have succeeded in returning to the days when users most desired.
―The operating system has been successfully changed to 《Nornir System》.
A voice that reminds me to hear it again.
“Nornir… is that the name of the new system? I honestly have no idea what it is. …… but.”
Jaehyun thought and thought. What you are going through right now is a series of incomprehensible situations.
Betrayal of father and Jung Woo-min. Mother died 5 years ago. A new operating system and a return to the past. Things that don’t readily connect.
“One thing is certain.”
Jaehyun clenched his fists and looked at the calendar on the desk. There was something small written on it with a red circle on November 16th.
Jaehyun already knew the contents without reading it.
The day to write the application form for Milles Academy!
PS. Be sure to go martial arts!
Jaehyun has constantly regretted the choices he made on this day over the past few years.
The day I wrote an application for admission to Miles Academy, where I gave up my talent for magic and chose the martial arts that didn’t suit my aptitude.
The corner of Jaehyun’s mouth went up. He said while erasing the bottom line of the calendar with a ballpoint pen.
“I won’t make the same mistake twice.”
A valuable opportunity to get again.
Jaehyun thought of becoming a wizard this time.
