Episode 30: Owner of the Corrupted Corridor (4)
“How can a human being…”
Belus muttered in disbelief.
That’s right.
Now the attack did not spare magic power to wipe out the humans in one blow.
however.
Why?
Can he be blocked so easily?
Jinhyuk shrugged.
“The skills you use and the flame attribute are incompatible.”
In addition, due to the gap stat and adaptive ability, the level difference is reversed.
If the situation is like this….
I don’t have confidence.
quality yourself.
“The moment Alice is sealed, the chances of you guys winning are gone.”
“It certainly seems difficult to win with magic.”
The mana that Belus had gathered was scattered.
“But, as you said, if there is a contradiction… it would be difficult to receive melee attacks with magic, right?”
A black-colored sword appeared in his right hand before he knew it.
It was a rapier favored by vampires.
furthermore.
[Belus activates Lv9 ‘Dark Fighting (暗黑鬪气)’!]
Black energy flowed gently through the sword body.
it’s black
It is also quite pure.
“There’s nothing like this to deal with guys who just run away like flying flies from afar.”
That’s not wrong.
Because magic-type abilities increase the risk extremely the moment the distance narrows.
Moreover, it was a move that had a good chance of winning if they attacked with as many as twelve at the same time.
okay.
that’s the fix
It’s a standard, but…
who said that?
You say I’m only strong with magic?
[Trait ‘Grave of the Sword’ is activated!]
In the quiet desolation.
The swordsman’s talent, which dominated an era, permeated Jinhyeok’s body.
It changes.
everything you see and feel.
pounding! pounding! pounding!
My heart beat wildly.
from fine muscle movements.
Until the process of magical power flowing.
The world seen through the mask was completely different from before.
‘I see… I guess I didn’t get the title of swordsman for free.’
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth went up.
＊＊＊
‘…what is it?’
Bellus tilted his head.
just now. Something has changed.
It’s hard to say exactly, but the atmosphere has completely changed.
Farr.
A faintly trembling hand.
no way.
‘Are you afraid?’
is this me?
Belus gnawed his molars.
“Don’t be funny…”
To be afraid of a human being
It cannot and should not exist.
Above all, we must break the hexadecimal nature that binds Him right now. There is no time to waste.
Bellus grabbed the sword.
“No matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to get the sword.”
A black aura that burns reassuringly.
It was a sword technique that was evaluated as having extreme cutting power.
“They attack all at once.”
“Remember. You must never miss it.”
“I’m going to have to cut off at least one limb. That will relieve your anger.”
The blood relatives formed an encirclement towards Jinhyeok.
before and after.
There is no room for a single ant to escape.
However, Jinhyeok stopped in his seat and did not respond.
He just scans his enemies with a bored expression.
“Be black. Was that all you believed?”
“Don’t be pretentious. No matter how much you fly and crawl, you can’t get out of here.”
Well, if I just say it, it will look like a bluff.
Because it was obvious to anyone who could see which side was advantageous and which side was disadvantageous.
then.
You can show it.
With skills, not words.
Jinhyeok infused magic into the dagger.
OK.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
A light so bright it was blinding.
“This can’t be…”
Belus’s eyes widened as if they were about to explode.
At most, it was on a different level from the sword covering the surface of the sword.
A blue aura that completely enveloped the dagger and rose 1m above it.
Undoubtedly.
This.
“Oh, aura blade?”
“Blowing energy into the sword. Shouldn’t it be at least this much?”
Jinhyeok stretched out his dagger.
Sharp enough to cut through the air.
Overwhelming force was directed at the blood relatives.
fault!
It was then that the new model disappeared.
“How is it gone?”
“where are you! Where are you?”
“shit. Don’t follow with your eyes, detect magic!”
Belus shouted, but it was too late.
“Aagh!”
Red blood gushed from the shoulder of the vampire on the most side.
Since his arm was completely cut off, it will take time even for a vampire with excellent resilience.
‘For now, one guy.’
Jinhyeok’s eyes followed the next target.
Starting with a thoroughly weak order.
Until the last strong one.
No matter how certain he is of victory, he doesn’t let his guard down.
Awesome!
The dagger drew a circle.
“Gagging!”
A short scream erupted from the vampire’s mouth as a wind hole pierced his thigh.
another guy like that.
[Stop it right now…!]
Alice seems to be screaming something, but I can’t hear her very well.
It was because he had already stuffed Braham’s ring deep into his inner pocket before the fight started.
“Don’t play alone, stay in formation! I mean, don’t fall for the opponent’s aim stupidly!”
Bellus had a blood band built up in his neck.
“Kuk!”
“Sheesh!”
It was only then that the vampires got into a stance.
The flanks were reinforced by filling the voids of the injured.
“Strike!”
Ten rapiers exploded at Jinhyeok.
The moment when swords collided with swords.
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
The rapier was split into dozens of pieces.
A blade that has been shattered.
As expected, swordsmanship could not withstand the swordsman.
‘Does not matter. Even if I lose half of it, I only need to make one successful attack.’
Sacrifice is inevitable.
Belus himself knew that better than anyone else.
Booung!
Boooooong!
But all rapiers cut through the air.
He couldn’t even chase Jinhyeok’s shadow.
30 seconds… 1 minute.
As time passed, Bellus’ face gradually turned to earthy color.
‘Even if I’m prepared to risk my life, I won’t even become an opponent.’
Meanwhile, the number on this side was decreasing one by one.
have you always been
I don’t even know how it happened.
It’s like facing a ghost.
puck!
Another fell.
There are no more blood relatives standing by.
“shit.”
Now… I don’t know what’s what.
Belus felt a cold aura approaching from behind.
And that’s it.
It was the last scene he remembered.
＊＊＊
The fight is over.
so vain
No, the word futile is only applicable to Jinhyeok, the person involved.
Those who watched the whole process couldn’t even lift a finger from the thrill that wrapped around their whole body.
“Mr. Teresa…”
Song Cheon-hwa stammered and opened her mouth.
What did you see?
Was this real?
Wiping out the blood of the true ancestors alone, which even the raid team couldn’t touch.
No ranker can do this.
gulp!
Dry saliva ran down Song Chun-hwa’s throat.
“That man. Do you know who it is?
“…”
Theresa didn’t answer.
Instead, he glanced at Jinhyuk.
That you’re wearing a mask.
It must mean that you don’t want to reveal your identity in front of people.
“We met by chance in the middle and came together. He just told me to trust him, but he didn’t tell me about the other details, so I don’t know.”
“I see… Ah!?”
Song Chun-hwa, who reluctantly nodded, let out an exclamation.
It was because he saw Jinhyuk wearing a mask trying to do something.
“for a moment! Please wait a moment!”
Song Cheon-hwa ran to Jin-hyeok at once.
“Why is that?”
Jinhyeok, who was standing in front of the holy relic, looked back.
“That… I am Song Chun-hwa, the engineering leader who is leading this raid.”
“I know roughly.”
Responsible for the failed raid.
An incompetent commander who is more fearsome than the enemy.
If you were like me, you would be crushed in the corner, even if you were embarrassed.
What face are you talking to?
…done.
This guy knows what he did wrong.
“Take the injured and leave the ruins. Since he has a lot of stamina, he will need fluids and simple nutrition.”
Jinhyeok shook his hand as if it was annoying.
however.
Song Chun-hwa seemed troubled and did not think of leaving.
“Before that, I have something to tell you about the holy relic.”
no way.
Are you claiming the right to relics here?
and.
He’s a bigger guy than I thought.
“I don’t know if you know, but the ownership of all the items obtained in this raid belongs to our Balhae guild…”
Jinhyeok cut off Song Cheonhwa’s words.
“You saved my life, but even the holy relic is different?”
Dog noises are also very annoying.
Is it so novel that you can’t wait to see what he will say next?
Song Cheon-hwa, too, seemed to have been stabbed, and quickly added words.
“Instead, we will give you another reward. Whether it’s money or coins, we’ll take care of it so you’re never disappointed.”
“It’s a reward…”
This can’t be done.
I had no intention of doing it this far.
You can’t help it if you want it that much.
“You don’t have to. Just take it. sleep.”
Jinhyuk took a step to the side.
“Am I really going to be okay?”
“sure. Instead, just don’t regret it. whatever the outcome.”
“yes?”
“I just said it.”
Jinhyuk shrugged.
Song Chun-hwa felt uneasy, but she soon shaved her head.
It is because there is no reason to refuse to concede the relic.
A piece of wood lying on a flat rock.
It’s Merlin’s Wand.
It was one of the seven broken pieces, but that didn’t diminish its value.
‘Using it as a magic ingredient, the utility value is truly endless.’
Song Chun-hwa’s eyes were stained with greed.
Taking this would make up for some of the stigma of the raid’s captivity.
But the moment I caught the fragment with my hand.
Hot.
It felt like a burning pain.
Song Chun-hwa was taken aback and removed his hand.
However, the thing that surprised him more than the reddened skin.
It was a pattern in the shape of an inverted cross marked on the palm of his hand.
“What is this?”
What…
“It’s a curse.”
Originally, it is a holy relic that can only be obtained by destroying Alice.
However, since Ellis touched the holy relic while it was still sealed, she was bound to be cursed.
“That curse! Can’t it be… are you dying? I am?”
“It is not life-threatening. Just…”
“Just?”
It’s called hairlessness.
“The hair on the whole body is completely gone.”
In simple terms, it means that you have to live smoothly for the rest of your life.
“That can be.”
Song Chun-hwa touched her hair with trembling hands.
uhh
Seeing that handfuls are falling out, it seems that there are only a few hours left.
so you said
you’ll regret it
Well, these words are useless now.
“No… No, no, no!”
Song Chun-hwa screamed and ran somewhere. It seems that he is going to the place where there is a mirror, but not looking at it will be good for his mental health.
＊＊＊
“…you are mean.”
Theresa smiled with a complicated feeling.
“I tried to touch other people’s rice cakes, so it’s self-inflicted.”
“But if this happens, wouldn’t Jin-hyeok have to give up the holy relic too?”
no.
That’s not it.
‘Because I know how to touch the holy relic while avoiding the curse.’
‘Blessing of the Stars’.
As long as you can learn the divine power, you can endure this level of curse.
“Before answering Theresa’s question, may I ask you one question?”
“Sure.”
“Do you admit that you lived thanks to me?”
“….”
Teresa stared into Jinhyeok’s eyes.
If it hadn’t been for Jinhyeok…
none of the raiders would have made it out alive.
“yes. thank you. Thanks to you, I live.”
Theresa nodded.
