096
Blue flames and gusts of wind filled the arena.
A blue flame handled by Dahlia Salentia.
A gust of wind handled by Kyle Ventia.
And the fusion of blue flame and gust of wind handled by Shin Ha-yul.
The three magics collided, and the remains of mana were scattered in all directions.
Flames roared, and the sound of howling wind filled the arena.
Kaaaaang-!
In the meantime, the sound of something physically colliding could also be heard intermittently.
It was the sound of Kyle’s sword and Shin Ha-yul’s fists clashing.
“You are really strong!”
Kyle stopped swinging his sword, stepped back and shouted.
Just a moment ago, Kyle’s clean body and uniform were scorched, cut, and rags.
Of course, thanks to the stadium’s protective settings, the wounds aren’t too deep.
“Kyle. What are you so excited about? … !”
Dahlia, who was wearing a blue flame beside her, glared at Kyle as if she were perverted.
It’s better than Kyle, but it’s also a mess with tanned skin and clothes.
“It’s good. How good is it?”
Kyle smiled like a beast as he gently wrapped his sword around him.
With sharp eyes, I look at Shin Ha-yul, who is wearing flames and wind like clothes.
“A formidable enemy that cannot even be scratched even with all its might. Where else will I meet someone like this!”
Unlike Kyle and Dahlia, Shin Ha-yul’s body and clothes were clean.
It was natural. Shin Ha-yul has never been attacked since the start of the game.
“Oh really, I can’t stand it.”
It’s a waste of time to catch your breath. Anything more. I want to share the sword with Shin Ha-yul as many times as possible.
The gust of wind that enveloped Kyle’s body intensified.
I sympathized with Kyle’s excited mind.
Kyle lowered his center of gravity.
Thighs and calves as if highly elastic springs were compressed to the limit.
In the next moment, Kyle’s body was flying through the sky.
The speed was so fast that Dahlia’s eyes seemed to blur afterimages.
In the blink of an eye, Kyle, who had reached Shin Ha-yul’s closest range, swung his sword.
Kaaaaaaang-!
The sound of Kyle’s sharp sword colliding with Shin Ha-yul’s fist rang even louder.
“ha ha ha! You’re blocking it too!”
A heavy shock was transmitted to the hand holding the sword.
The shock felt good.
“That idiot… … .”
Dahlia immediately moved the blue flame. The blue flame moved quickly and wrapped around Kyle.
right after that.
The magic of Shin Ha-yul came towards Kyle.
A sharp gust of wind with blue flames.
What should be called a typhoon of blue flames flew in from all directions with the momentum to grind Kyle.
Fire, fire, fire!
No matter how powerful that power is, Dahlia’s Blue Flame is fading away in an instant.
“… … It’s okay.”
Dahlia watched the scene and drooled.
‘I’m sure the amount of mana I have is more than my Blue Flame… … !’
amount of mana. In terms of magic output, Dahlia’s blue flame surpasses that of Shin Ha-yul’s.
If they clash head-on, it’s normal for Dahlia to overwhelm them.
However, what is currently overwhelming is the blue flame emitted by Shin Ha-yul.
To be precise, it was the fusion of the blue flame and the gust of wind emitted by Shin Ha-yul.
“You idiot Kyle! Escape quickly!”
Dahlia shouted.
A blue flame that is on the verge of extinction.
If this continues, Kyle will be eliminated, and Dahlia will also be eliminated.
That should be avoided somehow.
“Kyle!”
The problem is that Kyle has no intention of backing down.
The center of the battlefield where blue flames collide with blue flames.
Kyle quietly closed his eyes, as if he were standing in the eye of a hurricane.
“Whoa… … .”
deep breath.
The sword Kyle was holding held his breath.
Dahlia’s eyes widened at the sight.
‘That posture… … .’
that attitude.
that look.
is in memory
It is a replica of Min Ga-yeon’s posture and expression when fighting James in the past.
‘Did I learn that skill?’
At that moment, Dahlia’s blue flames completely disappeared.
After a while, Shin Ha-yul’s magic will tear Kyle’s entire body apart and burn it.
‘Goes.’
Just then, a storm of blue flames surrounded Kyle’s entire body.
Kyle’s three swords moved.
very relaxed.
However, a sharp sword that moves elegantly.
The sword attack, which apparently started slowly with a horizontal slash, quickly accelerated.
‘Gone… … .’
cut the wind
Wind god sword type 3.
breeze.
The name was given because it cuts the opponent’s throat without making any sound by cutting the friction between air and air.
That silent slash cut off the head of Shin Ha-yul and passed.
Kyle moved to the back of Shin Ha-yul before he knew it.
Standing still in the posture immediately after swinging the sword.
Only Kyle’s rapid breathing could be heard especially clearly.
“It’s a huge blow.”
Shin Ha-yul muttered as if sincerely admiring it.
At the same time, the combination of superheat hell and wind god that surrounded Shin Ha-yul’s body began to disappear quickly.
‘… … Did you win?’
Kyle’s sword cuts through Shin Ha Yul.
As a result, the scenery where Shin Ha-yul’s magic seems to be disappearing.
Could it be that no matter how much of a servant he was, he couldn’t stop Kyle’s breeze at first glance?
Kyle returned the sword to his waist and stood upright.
“I have to say that after completely blocking it… … . It only sounds sarcastic.”
Shin Ha-yul perfectly blocked Kyle’s sharp sword.
“It just stopped. You know when you see it?”
I had no choice but to mobilize everything to block Kyle’s breeze.
It was such a great blow.
“If I hadn’t known about the breeze, or if I hadn’t known the wind god’s magic formula, I would have lost.”
“… … haha. Why?”
Kyle laughed as if he was having fun in the world for the last time.
“that word. I must be feeling bad. I don’t feel too bad.”
After laughing for a while, he turned his gaze to Dahlia.
The expression of something unpleasant.
“I honestly don’t think the US will win… … .”
Kyle’s body trembled.
“Because you made it this far, I won… … .”
And then it started to fall freely towards the ground.
“Power is… … many… subtract… … Because I put it.”
dump-!
Kyle said so at the end.
and.
―Kyle Ventia Damage Over! Of the three aces, Kyle is the first to exit!
The referee announced Kyle Ventia’s elimination.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Kyle’s body floats and flies out of the arena.
Only Shin Ha-yul and Dahlia remained in the realm.
* * *
On the other hand, the realm of Korea.
The second battlefield where six men and women are fighting.
―Kyle Ventia Damage Over! Of the three aces, Kyle is the first to exit!
The news of Kyle Ventia’s elimination was delivered to those who were fighting fiercely.
“… … Did Kyle lose?”
It was Maia who reacted the most furiously to the news.
The look on his face was that he never imagined that Kyle would lose.
“Whoa. Isn’t our leader really great?”
Ma Jin-seok, drenched in sweat, brushed his hair back and whistled. The muscles that have been pumped up from the fierce battle look more prominent today.
“Now what?”
Next to him, Kang Shin-woo, who was also drenched in sweat, radiated sharp eyes.
I slowly stare at the two American teams and the two British teams that are currently clashing.
“Since Kyle is eliminated, there’s no reason for you guys to continue forming alliances.”
As long as Kyle was eliminated, England’s chances of winning were gone.
There is no reason for Britain to continue to ally itself with the United States.
“… … I don’t want to do a good job for America, but I’d rather have America win than Korea to win a third championship.”
Maia clicked her tongue as if she didn’t like the world.
I really don’t like it. I really really don’t like it, but I’d rather the US win.
“is it. Too bad.”
Kang Shin-woo smiled and took a posture again.
Taekwondo posture.
It’s just a pose. The tension of the other four grew.
“Then let’s continue.”
“… … ah. be tired If I go back today, I will pass out for at least 12 hours.”
Ma Jin-seok also took a stance in the position of assisting Kang Shin-woo.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Maia and Sarah
The brows of each British and American staff furrowed.
“Why? Aren’t you coming?”
Kang Shin-woo asked while maintaining a sharp momentum.
Opponent didn’t answer.
Kang Shin-woo and Ma Jin-seok. And he just looks at Shin Ha-yul and Dahlia in turns in the distance.
“Right. Are you thinking about sending support to Dahlia Salentia?”
“… … .”
It was a straight line.
Kyle was defeated despite fighting 2:1. In other words, it is very unlikely that Dahlia will win the Sinha ratio at 1:1.
If so, wouldn’t it be better to send support now?
“If it were you from before, you would have made up your mind to defeat us before Dahlia fell. Have you changed your mind?”
Kang Shin-woo’s sarcasm made the four of them frown.
“Come on, come on. If it’s just the two of us dealing with each other, there will be no territory left in Korea. Even if you don’t have to defeat our leader, you win. If it were me, I would probably attack while thinking about applying.”
“… … Noisy.”
Maia gritted her teeth with a genuine annoyance.
“I don’t think the four of us can beat the two of us. I wouldn’t say that.”
The corner of Kang Shin-woo’s mouth raised only one side. Seeing that, Sarah gnashed her teeth this time.
“Really, that representative is that subordinate… … . There’s no sarcasm… … .”
His snarkyness is the same as Shin Ha-yul.
I wish they both died instantly.
“I’ll admit what I’ll admit. We cannot penetrate you.”
“Hoo.”
At Sarah’s words, Kang Shin-woo exclaimed as if he was surprised.
“Kang Shin-woo from Sinmugangga. I’ve heard rumors that it’s invincible when it comes to regional protection. I never thought it would be like this.”
The arcane magic of the Shenwugang family has the same name as the family pen name.
Goddess.
The name was given because it boasts god-like martial arts.
The effect is body strengthening.
Of course, it’s not just body strengthening. It strengthens the caster’s muscles, as well as bones, internal organs, blood vessels, and even nerve tissue.
With this magic combined with the ancient martial arts that Shinmugangga boasts, it boasts monstrous strength only when it comes to fighting against people.
“The giant there too. What kind of training did you do for the last two months to grow that much?”
Ma Jin-seok giggled and laughed.
“Our leader is also gifted at teaching people.”
“… … .”
Sarah’s expression darkened again. He thought he was superior to his servant Yul in terms of teaching. He’s pushed even that.
“Are you going to stay like that forever?”
Ma Jin-seok shrugged.
“What is good is good. I think being still is also a way. You don’t have to be tired of each other, right?”
Those four cannot break through Kang Shin-woo and Ma Jin-seok.
In terms of strength, four people have the advantage, but from the moment Korea enters defense, they are equal.
Even so, I can’t send support to Dahlia.
It’s on the same page now, but if we send support to Dahlia, the charter will turn that way.
Kang Shin-woo and Ma Jin-seok’s joint effort cannot be stopped by two people.
‘Sending only one supporter would be a way, but… … .’
that doesn’t make any sense
It was an opponent that Kyle and Dahlia could not defeat even with the combined effort.
I don’t think sending one person here will change anything.
Instead of being helpful, he might be a hindrance to Dahlia.
‘There’s nothing I can do.’
The win or loss of this match has long since left their hands.
All they can do is pray for Dahlia to win.
“… … fight?”
“You have to fight.”
Through this battle, the only thing we can do is collect the data of Kang Shin-woo and Ma Jin-seok.
To secure victory in five matches remaining.
* * *
quiet arena.
Dahlia was glaring at me with an exhausted expression.
As if to prove she was exhausted, the Blue Flames also had less than 10% left compared to right after the start.
“It looks difficult. How about giving up?”
“… … Do you look hard? Then my smoke seems to be working well.”
Desperately swallowing his rough breath, he feigned composure.
It looked pretty pitiful.
“You look like you’re having a hard time. You haven’t been able to use proper magic since before.”
“… … .”
I was tired as well.
It consumed quite a lot of mental power due to the fusion of the wind god and superheat hell at the same time.
There’s the last blow of Kyle.
I used almost all my energy to block the breeze.
Rather, it could be said that I was more impoverished in terms of magic.
“Well, I’ll admit it. Right now I’m on the verge of running out of spirit.”
“… … It is very easy to admit.”
“Because I’m not the type to make meaningless fakes.”
“Are you trying to turn me around, that word?”
“Think what you like.”
Fakes do not work in the current situation.
If I could use magic normally, there would be no need to continue this long battle.
At the point where I didn’t even counterattack properly against Dahlia’s offensive, it’s safe to say that my mental power was exhausted.
“anyway. If you fight with magic, you will win. That’s why my condition is not good.”
I coolly admitted it.
That’s why my mental state is not good.
“So you’re giving up?”
“no. No way.”
I took a stance.
A completely different attitude from before.
A posture for pure martial arts that completely excludes the use of magic.
“That posture… … Of the Shinmugang family… … .”
Dahlia’s eyes widened.
“that’s right. ancient martial arts. Taekwondo.”
Although it is a martial art learned by scratching the surface, it can be used to some extent.
“Then please… … .”
However, the only thing imitating is the martial art of the Xinwu Gangga.
Xinwu Gangga’s arcane magic is not at the level of imitation.
Shinmugangga Arcane Magic.
“Divine martial arts. Is this your first time seeing it?”
Ring of Resonance.
enforce.
My body had more firmness than Kang Shin-woo.
