345. 13 Special activation skills. Copy (3)
[Malachos activated Earth’s Resonance.]
Coo Goo!
The earth ripples. Taesan spurns his feet to dodge the crashing waves of soil.
Malakos casts his magic toward Mount Tai, which floats into the air.
Taesan swings his sword
to ward off the flying magic and kicks the air. Activate Space Leap and fly towards Malakos.
Kagagagak!
After a long battle, Taesan defeated Malakos.
[A lich that has rotted alone. Malachos is resurrected.]
Malachos is resurrected again. Laughing at Mount Tai, he chanted magic.
Taesan grabs the sword and throws herself.
The ghost watched him silently.
[I don’t know.]
Taesan had been fighting Malachos for a whole day without a break.
Kagagagak!
Malachos’s attack was narrowly blocked, and he easily showed a gap. Malakos clapped his chin happily in the belief that he could win.
No matter how much I watched, I couldn’t tell what Taesan was aiming for. Eventually, the ghost gave up.
[Please explain. What are the conditions and how do I get them?]
“Don’t you know?”
[I can’t even detect it.]
The ghost was obviously strong. He had the talent and ability to attack the labyrinth.
However, that power was concentrated in swordsmanship.
Ghosts had less ability to understand and analyze various skill conditions than Taesan. Taesan opened his mouth.
“It must be an opponent who resurrects infinitely.”
Kagagak!
He cuts off the frost arrow. Step back and avoid the surge of
magic crystals .
“And there will be no loss of power when resurrected.”
[I know that far. I don’t know more than that.]
“And have an ego. Even if you are not perfect or outstanding, you have enough ego to be able to make some judgments and make changes in battle.”
[Ego?]
“And when you resurrect, you will have your previous memories. For now, there are four of them.”
There may be other conditions, but even Taesan didn’t know about them. The ghost asked again, still puzzled.
[You say you get copying under that condition? What are the acquisition conditions’?]
“Kill the opponent once and defeat the resurrected opponent in the same battle.”
Taesan said. The ghost paused.
[…same battle?]
“Yes.”
Kwajik.
Taesan defeated Malachos. Bone fragments scattered on the floor began to rise again and take shape.
[It’s not that the final attack is the same, it’s that the battle itself has to be the same?]
“That’s right.”
From the beginning of the battle to the end. Copy perfectly.
That was the condition for obtaining copying.
[That’s what.]
The ghost possessed a false laugh.
[Is that possible?]
Plus, absolute judgment, absolute protection, etc. The skills Taesan had acquired so far were also close to impossible.
Taesan overcame that impossibility and obtained the skill. The ghost gradually became chronic and stopped being startled by quite a few things.
However, as for the conditions for copying, even such a ghost could not get a sense of it.
[Copy of battle? How the hell are
you going to do that?]
The reason Taesan was able to acquire the skill so far was possible because he eliminated as many variables as possible.
In the case of addition, the opponent did not show any movement. All he had to do was adjust his swordsmanship and fit it perfectly.
The cowardly deformed body with its eyes closed was like a machine that responded appropriately when it received a certain amount of damage. I was able to get an absolute judgment because I just had to match the timing perfectly.
The conditions for absolute protection
were absurd, but once you figured out, it wasn’t too difficult to obtain it because you just had to wait after using the potion.
Almost all of them were elements that Taesan could control even if there were no variables.
But this time it was different.
Malachos had an ego.
During the battle, it was possible to show different movements according to Taesan’s movement.
That element was beyond Taesan’s control.
In fact, there were quite a few times when Malachos
showed different responses to Taesan’s movements.
[Can’t even knock it down in one blow?]
“I don’t know the detailed conditions, but I have to compete with a certain sum.”
[Huh.]
When I said that I had to see the opponent’s response unconditionally, the ghost laughed.
[Can’t control variables. Isn’t that something you can’t get?]
“Why can’t I?”
Compared to acquiring other skills, it was definitely
more difficult and there were many variables.
However, it was not at an uncontrollable level.
“You can get it.”
Taesan spoke calmly and moved his body. The Ghost also said no more.
It was impossible for him to judge, but Taesan had only acquired those skills so far.
If so, it would be the correct answer to watch quietly. The ghost judged so.
Time passed.
Taesan continued to defeat Malachos.
And in the process, I adjusted my movements little by little.
I deliberately slowed down enough for Malachos to respond and created enough gaps for me to aim.
Without knowing anything, Malachos attacked the gap created by Taesan.
That’s how my hall passed.
Taesan, who had driven his sword into Malakas’s chest and knocked him down, checked the condition of his whole body.
The mind is not shaken. There is no muscle wasting. My stamina is fine.
The 100% battle duration made it so that the stamina was not consumed in just four days of battle.
“then.”
I learned enough about Malakos for four days.
it’s a slow start
Taesan kicked his feet. He rushed towards Malachos from the front.
A very obvious move. How to respond to it
was also obvious. First of all, just get out and look at the situation.
[Malachos activated the burning ball.]
The ball of flame flies toward Taesan’s head.
Taesan lowered his stance. I put my body on the ground and ran as it was.
[Malachos activates Earth’s Rumble.]
The land swells and rushes.
Taesan kicked off her feet and jumped into the air.
Toward Mount Tai, which rose into the air, Malachos
activated the Frozen World.
What a bummer!
[You activated a jump in the air.]
Taesan’s body escaped the frozen world and climbed higher.
[You activate Landing.]
Taesan’s body lands and is stamped. Malakos defends.
[Malachos activated the iron wall of protection.]
[Malachos activated the wave of liberation.]
Kaaang!
Taishan’s sword collides with the veil surrounding Malachos.
And the body is pushed away by the waves that followed.
Malakos swings his staff at Mount Tai, which floats into the air.
[Malachos activated Magic Crystal Surge.]
[You activated Frozen World.]
Taishan activated Frozen World.
Malachos also activated Frozen World and blocked the remaining aftermath with an iron wall of protection.
Kagagak!
A battle ensues. They attack each other, aiming for gaps.
follow up
Malachos hit his chin violently.
He was very excited now.
The battle was going as planned. It was a feeling I had never experienced before in my life .
The world one step above was welcoming him.
Kagagagak!
However, despite that sense of exaltation, Malachos collapsed. It was because Taesan couldn’t block the frozen world cast after moving backwards with Limited Blink.
Taesan jumps back and opens the distance again.
[A lich that has rotted alone. Malachos has been resurrected.]
Tadadak.
The resurrected Malachos clicked his chin happily.
He was confident of victory now.
The adventurer in front of him was strong, but he couldn’t figure out where his life vessel was.
And he was getting stronger as he battled over and over again.
He responded perfectly to the opponent’s attack and even made the best counterattack.
You can win this time. Malachos did not doubt that
.
And Taesan was the same.
“Shall we go?”
Taesan cleared his throat once and kicked.
The location where Taishan was running was exactly the same as where Taishan was in the previous battle.
Malachos raised his staff towards the galloping mountain.
[Malachos activated the burning ball.]
Taesan lowered his posture to avoid the flying burning ball.
Malachos sneered.
The opponent was approaching in the same way as before.
And the previous battle was very close. If we moved a little more efficiently, we could have won.
Then there was no need to move differently.
It’s just a matter of fighting the same way as before and twisting it when it’s important.
[Malachos activated Earth’s Resonance.]
The earth rippled. Taesan spurts the ground to evade.
Malachos thought quickly toward the rising mountain. what to trigger
Frost arrows cannot block it. The same goes for the Magic Crystal Surge.
The opponent has a skill called Jump in the Air.
First of all, you have to make them use that skill.
In other words, the same frozen world as before is optimal.
[Malachos activated Frozen World.]
[You activated Jump in the Air.]
The mountain rose in the air.
Previously, it was pushed back with the iron wall of protection and the wave of liberation. This time, Malachos intended to activate a frost arrow to pierce the opponent.
[You activated landing.]
However, Taesan’s body accelerated.
Malachos, who was about to activate Frost Arrow, realized it belatedly.
The falling speed of Mount Tai was very
fast.
In previous battles, he hadn’t noticed because he moved instinctively, but it was impossible to respond with attack magic at such a speed.
And he realized through the battles so far that the power contained in Taishan’s sword cannot be stopped with magic alone.
In the end, all he could do was defend.
[Malachos activated the iron wall of protection.]
[Malachos activated the wave of liberation.]
Two magics are activated at the same time. Taishan’s sword breaks the iron wall and is pushed away by the waves.
What is the best skill to subdue an opponent who rises and falls in the air?
Several skills passed through Malachos’ mind.
Frost arrows or fireballs are not very effective skills. As Earth Resonance is a skill related to the earth, it is meaningless against opponents in the air.
The frozen world is
not suitable for the current situation, considering the battle with Taesan so far.
A conclusion has been drawn.
[Malachos activated Magic Crystal Surge.]
Only then did Malachos realize.
It was becoming the exact same flow as the previous battle.
[…Aha.]
The ghost also realized it belatedly.
As the battle continued, Taesan showed a little gap. He narrowly avoided Malachos’ skill and deliberately
created an opening.
[It was for induction.]
Malachos remembered the previous battle with his ego.
That’s why, when responding to Taesan’s attack, he recalls his previous memories and moves toward the optimal answer.
In other words, depending on how Taesan moved in the battles so far and how he imprinted it, he could induce Malachos’ movement in a specific situation.
[This again… it’s amazing.]
Hundreds and thousands of battles that took place over four days that
the ghost didn’t pay much attention to .
Taesan meant that he designed the battle to obtain copy by grasping the opponent of Malachos in each battle and analyzing the conditions.
The four days were all for this battle.
Malachos also noticed. For this battle, Taesan had been fighting him all this time.
He made a quick decision.
In that case, it was enough to move differently from the opponent’s intention.
He is an adventurer who has stepped into the depths. Now he died and became a piece of bone, but his talent and judgment did not go anywhere.
Malachos looked at Mount Tai, which had just cleared the rush of magic crystals.
In the previous battle, Taishan had activated Frozen World in this situation.
This time was no different. As if waiting for the rush of magic crystals from Malakos, Taesan activated the frozen world.
Deciding to continue a different battle structure from before, Malachos raised his staff.
But Malachos realized.
There was no other magic.
The surge of magic crystals from the fireball frost arrows could not stop the frozen world of Mount Tai. The skill that can respond together is the frozen world. It was one.
And the power contained in Taishan’s frozen world was stronger than his frozen world.
In order to prevent it, I had to block it with the iron wall of protection after activating the frozen world.
Only then could he gain the upper hand.
Malachos, who had the talent to step on the depths, could tell. It was an optimal action that could not be added or reduced.
[You activated the frozen world.]
[Malachos activated the frozen world.]
[Malachos activated the iron wall of protection.]
In the end, the exact same battle continues.
Malachos was shocked.
In the previous battle, he
was excited that the battle was going as he wanted and that it was going according to his design. I had no doubt that I had seen a higher world.
It was a very close defeat, so I thought that if I changed the battle a little, I could win enough.
what a stupid idea
All of that was the result of having everything else blocked by the opponent.
There was only one move he could make. Without knowing that, he
mistakenly thought that the battle was going on as he wanted.
Even though it was all in the opponent’s palm.
Rather, he was being analyzed by Taesan. In what situation, what to use, what to move based on, and what to judge as an advantage, all of that.
Malachos’ hand holding the staff began to lose strength.
But regardless, his hand raised the staff.
He is a monster of the labyrinth.
Until he collapsed,
he had to deal with the enemy.
Taesan leaned against the wall and rushed at it. The magic he used in the previous battle was the Earth’s Rumble. Malachos somehow wanted to use a different magic.
But I couldn’t.
During the battle during Nahol, this composition continued to emerge. In the process, all the magic he had used was destroyed, and the only thing that had the highest odds was the Earth’s echo.
Taishan was aiming for the same battle as the previous one.
If you want to break such a development, you can use other magic except for the echo of the earth.
However, he died and became a lich, but he was a wizard who stepped on the depths while alive.
He, who always chose the right answer, could not choose the wrong answer now.
[Malachos activated the echo of the earth.]
Taesan was also waiting for that magic.
A battle ensues.
And the battle reached the end point by point, with all the composition remaining unchanged from before.
[You activated the starlight arrow.]
The starlight arrow is fired at Malachos. There was no time to use other magic. Even though he knew the outcome, Malachos immediately activated the frozen world and the iron wall of protection. The iron wall was shattered by the force.
[You have activated Limited Blink.]
Taesan moved behind Malachos
.
Malachos wanted to respond somehow. He twisted desperately and raised his staff.
Even the action was perfectly identical to the previous battle.
[You activated the frozen world.]
A chill hit Malachos.
