The sword that spread the plum blossoms crumbled like sand.
The sword power was completely lost.
It’s no pity, because it was that western assassin’s anyway.
‘The level of completion is not bad.’
Originally, the Plum Blossom Sword Technique would bring about tremendous fatigue after use, but the Plum Blossom Sword Technique that Lee Han was using now was as different as a chicken and a duck compared to the day before.
What’s the difference?
‘Being able to fly makes a big difference.’
A small but huge development.
Lee Han no longer gets tired of using the Plum Blossom Sword Technique no matter how many times he uses it.
… No, to be exact, I was able to replenish my physical and mental strength as quickly as I consumed them.
The reason this is possible is probably… .
‘It must mean that there is meaning in training.’
If Taechang had seen it, he would have always said that it was thanks to physical and mental power protection characteristics like [Diamond Seung] or [Indomitable], but Lee Han tended to ignore such explanations of game abilities.
He was living in reality, and his strength, stamina, and skills were merely the product of his efforts, not the skills of a game.
So the same goes for the plum blossom sword technique.
I trained like crazy and grew more than the day before, so it became possible to continue to do so.
Faster and sharper than when you first unfolded it!
‘About twenty times?’
wickedness!
Confident that he could easily perform the Plum Blossom Sword Technique twenty times, Lee Han picked up the sword he had taken away and swung it again.
It was a pretty good sword, so the sword power was not bad, and thanks to that.
Hwaaaaak!
The fluttering plum blossoms were also quite a sight.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
“!!?”
“-·-!”
“-·-·-eww‥-?!”
They were complaining of pain, but their tongues had been cut off and they could not speak properly.
“You guys are a different breed. Why did you cut off my perfectly good tongue?”
Lee Han lightly hit them, but they didn’t have the presence of mind to respond.
Because the swirling plum blossom petals pierced through the assassin’s skin and directly penetrated his heart and other organs.
Literally flying bullets.
The power of plum blossoms was centered on penetrating power and cutting power.
However.
“But it’s not like you guys are that sloppy, right?”
Crack!
The Plum Blossom Sword Technique is intense, but it is not impossible to defeat once your eyes and body adapt.
This is proof that his own Plum Blossom Sword Technique still has many shortcomings.
still.
“I cleaned out all the bad guys, so this was pretty usable.”
“-‥-!”
Of the roughly fifty guys, half were killed.
The remaining half were badly wounded and some were bleeding, but not bad enough to kill them, and the surviving Assassins were emitting intense hostility and murderous intent towards him.
But strangely, Lee Han didn’t feel threatened at all.
He is the type of person who never lets his guard down no matter how weak his opponent is, but why is he like this… .
“Why are these assassin bastards so slow?”
“!!”
-Is it easy?
Pfft!
The moment Lee Han kicked his leg, he instantly took over their backs.
The technique of the naturally unfolding Gungshin Tanyeong seemed to be completely integrated with Lee Han.
The results of the efforts made after the battle in the tunnel were finally showing, and now that he could naturally use the techniques of the Gungshin Tanyoung.
Phew!
Hunting an Assassin felt infinitely simpler than an owl hunting a mouse.
“-‥-44-·-1!”
Is he the one giving orders among the assassins?
As soon as he realized that there was a large gap between them and Yi Han, he gave an order, and in an instant, the Assassins’ momentum changed, and three of them rushed at Yi Han.
like that….
Phew!
The assassins who rushed in ‘self-destructed’.
An assault using their own bodies as bombs.
It couldn’t have been anything other than a chilling move to eliminate an opponent with one’s life, and that move of turning one’s entire body into a bomb was incredibly threatening.
Exploding the body by stimulating the casting method means that the bones and flesh explode like claymore, eliminating the target.
It must be more powerful than any bomb, and no matter how skilled a knight is, he will not be able to avoid serious injury.
That’s ‘common sense’.
but.
“Hey, I feel sick… .”
Knock knock.
“… … .”
“Why do all these assassins use such dirty methods? Tsk!”
… common sense only applies to those who are not in their right mind, but it does not apply to him.
There wasn’t even a single trace of the common blemish on Lee Han’s body.
The clothes were just a little dirty and torn.
And his body, visible through his torn clothes, was just… .
“… … How can you have a body like that?”
The only one among the Assassins with a intact tongue was the first to ask a question.
It’s a stunning body.
A body as miraculous as ‘steel’, one wonders if it is human skin.
Could an ogre or troll have a body like that if they trained their muscles?
… I don’t know. It’s my first time seeing ‘something like that.’
I just wonder if they received illegal procedures like that.
“… Such a natural procedure would be impossible?”
There is a fatal weakness in the practice of magic, and that is that it distances itself from the human form.
It would be normal for his skin to change to resemble that of a monster, but no trace of that was seen on his body.
And Lee Han, who received this evaluation.
“Don’t you think I’m like you?”
He laughed.
What about illegal procedures!
“I spent more than 12 hours a day just training to build this body.”
A tearful effort to use the Gungshin Tanyoung and Geumgang as passives.
Lee Han frowned at the disparagement that tried to dismiss it as an illegal procedure without knowing the effort.
“Then can this also be done with that procedure?”
WHEEK!
Hit the air with your fist.
It was a strange and mysterious behavior, and I wondered why it was doing that.
Crunch!
“!!?!”
Soon they had to open their eyes again.
dump….
Because one of the Assassins’ head turned into a crushed tomato and he died instantly.
-Gyeoksan Tau.
He threw his punches indiscriminately, but the assassin was unable to stop them.
An invisible fist is coming at you like a cannonball, how can you stop it?
“Stop it.”
Kindly, he punched the air again, signaling that he was going to throw a punch.
like that.
Crunch!
The number of assassins who turned into tomatoes increased, and it was enough to tell the assassins who had endured cruel and thorough training that they were ‘bewildered’.
“Why can’t you stop it even if I tell you?”
Lee Han was kind, but unfortunately there were no assassins who accepted his kindness.
* * *
dump…!
The Assassins had all become Dullahan.
That means everyone said goodbye to their heads.
“…They were some tough guys.”
It may seem like it was handled easily, but Lee Han knows.
These guys were able to win easily because they were confused by their own methods.
Starting with the Plum Blossom Sword Technique, then the Gungshin Tanyeong and Geumgang, and finally the Gyeoksan Tau.
This is probably the first time you’ve seen this type of fighting style in this world, so you’ll be hit without even having time to adapt.
Don’t call me a coward.
Because originally, there was no such thing as cowardice in fighting.
However, that does not mean that the Assassin was easy.
Especially in the case of suicide bombing, it was a somewhat embarrassing and extremely cruel method.
Maybe if it wasn’t me, but some other guy…
“Hmm, isn’t that it too?”
Lee Han thought that the situation would have been resolved even if he had not deliberately stepped forward.
That would be true.
“You are truly amazing, Sir Turtle. It makes my efforts to come here to support you seem pointless.”
There were other guys escorting him besides himself.
“…Not Tristan, but Galahad or Lionel?”
“This is Galahad.”
“okay?”
There were quite a few Assassins, aside from those stopped by Lee Han.
This crazy tanned guy must have so much money that he hired a truckload of assassins.
However, Lee Han only stopped those coming from the east and paid no attention to the rest, because he knew that there were quite a few people other than himself who were trying to protect the children.
Judging by the presence coming from the west, it seems to be Tristan.
Because it is a familiar atmosphere.
So the strangers who blocked the other two directions… .
“Oh, now that I look at it like this, it looks familiar. Is that one of the black masked people that came when the old chick became my neighbor?”
“…Do you still remember what happened back then?”
“I have a bad memory, but strangely, I’m good at remembering things through bodies. Should I say that I can’t remember faces, but I remember spirit?”
“That’s amazing….”
Shadows of Galahad.
I think it’s been a while since I saw Irene Windler when she became my neighbor six months ago.
“We fought for nothing… If you guys were here, I wouldn’t have had to come out.”
Tristan and Galahad.
They would be escort knights dispatched to protect Gomsuni and the magic chick.
Do a good job.
‘What are those white cats doing?’
The other clans do this to prevent any possible situations, but Pendragon is really… .
‘Oh my god, what are you doing, big sister?’
The Crown Princess he knew was not an incompetent person, so he couldn’t have predicted something like this.
I feel a little embarrassed.
Because, whether you like it or not, it was your job.
“Haha, it’s not like we fought for nothing. Of all the Assassins that Turtle Sir has faced, he was the strongest. If you hadn’t blocked him, the damage would have been considerable, or his defenses might have been breached.”
“You don’t have to praise me….”
“To be honest. As expected, you are the one who nags at the Duke.”
“… Were you there too?”
“I personally think it’s cool.”
“… … So that’s the gentleman who saw my dark history.”
Lee Han ended up laughing bitterly.
The fact that he was one of the spectators who saw his dark history, that is, the arrogant way he spoke to the Duke… .
However, Galahad’s knight had a cheerful expression.
“Haha, the only one who would say that is a dark history is Sir Turtle. In Galahad, they call him ‘the Loyal One,’ the Loyal One.”
“Loyal person…?”
“It’s an abbreviation for ‘a brave man who does not spare advice.’ Persecuting Your Majesty is probably an achievement that no one except the late minister could have achieved, ahaha!”
“Hmm….”
It couldn’t have been a more awkward nickname.
‘Is this an insult or a compliment?’
Yi Han scratched his cheek, but he could tell that Galahad’s men did not dislike him, as they approached him with favor.
what.
“… I think that guy hates me so much.”
It was not possible to please everyone.
─Crack!
There was a spear that could instantly pierce through the remaining ten or so Assassins.
It was a very universal, basic spear that represented the meaning of the word “spear.”
But the moment the plain-looking spear was thrust out, it looked like a destructive ballista that could pierce through anything.
It was a spear technique that could not help but elicit admiration, and even if I did not want to admit it, I had to admit that if there was a most ideal ‘stabbing’ movement, it was this one.
It was that perfect.
And the face of the knight who had executed that perfect stab that drew such admiration was one that even Lee Han knew.
“Stabbing is an art, but this guy has a ruined personality.”
“…haha.”
Galahad’s knight laughed.
The situation was so funny at the time.
The vice-captain who saw his battle a little while ago also.
– Huh, he may be a rough guy, but he’s still a great fighter.
Because I acknowledged the other person but still made insulting remarks.
Looking at this, the knight thought.
Those who are originally talented.
‘… Are they similar?’
They are really interesting people.
