00165 Nightmare ———————————————— ————————=
“Don’t stop, keep going.”
It is clear that the owner of this soft voice is Go Yeon-joo. She, who had been her keeper all this time, is finally starting to step forward. If it was her, she could count on her to have her back. So, she followed her words and accelerated her forward movement even more. She heard her words and within three seconds she felt the stinging sting shooting at the back of her head disappear.
Horrence raised the darkness again and took a defensive stance against my sword. The basis of my swordsmanship was a swordsmanship based on line defense. As such, unless the opponent attacked, it was difficult to use the strength in reverse, but now, unlike in the first round, I had a strength level of 94 points.
The sword, which had flowed smoothly as if swimming, soon changed into a vicious force and dug inwards as if enveloping the darkness. The guy hurriedly tried to break off the attack by slashing his sword at a right angle, but as soon as he twisted it once, it was thrown away without any chance.
Darkness soon arose, but there was already a small gap. Through that gap, my sword ravaged his chest once again. The feeling of cutting an ax into a tree made of steel comes through the body of the sword. But the Doom Knight did not back down.
He held the sword embedded in his chest with his left hand, and stabbed the black sword shimmering in the darkness with his right hand. I quickly let go of the sword, then climbed up off the ground and did a somersault into the air. At that moment, a solid silver line was seen below, dividing the darkness and drawing a half moon, and Horrence seemed to not have the confidence to even handle it, so he immediately took a step back.
But Go Yeon-ju was persistent. The place where there is darkness everywhere is like her ground. She suddenly rose up in front of her retreating knight and immediately raised her foot and struck the handle of her sword hard.
Taang! Grumble!
The sword that was half embedded was completely dug in, leaving only the handle. The bastard screamed fiercely and swung his black sword in anger, but the Shadow Queen immediately seeped into her darkness again, as if to intimidate her opponent.
Eventually, as I landed on the floor, she also rose up next to me and pointed to the sword stuck in her chest. Without saying a word, I held out my hand and created an object in the air. Soon the sword fell off on its own and I gently found it in my hand again. For some reason, if Horrence had a face, he would probably be looking at my sword right now.
“oh. “I kicked you really hard, but it doesn’t look like it hurt you much.”
“There is damage. Still, I think the psychological shock will be greater.”
“Ho Ho.”
It would have been difficult to deal with just me alone, but just as I thought I could barely withstand the wizards’ attack, an intruder appeared again. That’s also a user with a similar level to me. Ko Yeon-ju eventually said, “I’ll take care of Won-ho, so don’t worry and just play.” With those words, it died down again, and I slowly began to shorten the distance.
The black sword slashed and slashed non-stop between me and the guy as we faced each other again. She said she had her back, but her timing hasn’t been great since he awakened her. I kept trying to create a gap by shedding one and sticking out the other.
As long as it has a body, you can inflict damage by stabbing and cutting. However, the problem is that spiritual bodies also coexist. Simply put, I was clearly superior to him in terms of swordsmanship. But what I wanted was an opening where I could deliver a powerful blow to the guy’s body in all directions. In that case, I had to aim for a time when the darkness surrounding him was so shocked that he could not react, that is, when he was neutralized by the same magic combination as before. However, with Jeong Ha-yeon retiring, it became more difficult to expect magic linkage.
No matter how much of a loophole was created through the offensive, the gap could only be stabbed or cut once. If I tried to go out a little stronger, the same situation as before could have happened. Also, it was true that as we tried to move forward while fighting off the darkness that was constantly pouring in from all directions, the timing we had achieved was shortened and our aim became difficult.
I felt like I could create an opportunity if I pushed myself a little harder. However, I had maintained the raid very safely up to this point, so I didn’t want to disturb the atmosphere with unnecessary actions. I continued to strike and accumulate damage, thinking that if I waited, the opportunity would surely come.
While we were exchanging attacks for a moment, the moment the darkness that was pushing in like a wave of water deflected, I suddenly dug inward. As the sword of darkness cut sharply at my waist from the side, I moved the sword to the left. Then he counterattacked by rotating his body sharply in the direction of the force applied through the sword.
Pow!
When I struck the sword with the rotational force of the recoil, I saw its body tilted at an angle. And just then, a dark shadow rose up from the floor below the direction his body was leaning. The shadow passed over Horrence’s body, leaving a long afterglow of silver lines. Even without looking at the identity of the shadow, I could tell that it was Ko Yeon-joo. Perhaps she also thought that now was a good time to aim. But it wasn’t just Go Yeon-ju.
“come! KuiRitaTooth! The screaming fatalist who rules the 14th Legion! “Wipe it away!”
Vivian’s voice could be heard shouting as if she was quite angry at the fact that Imprison had been defeated without much effort earlier, and was putting on a bravery that she normally would not wear. She summoned the highest legion she had ever seen. I haven’t seen much of the 10th Division since they were dealing with the hordes of the dead in the ruined laboratory, so it was nice to see them again here.
The lion-head-shaped beast rushed at him at incredible speed, and then entered its head with its mouth wide open. However, because his body was tilted, it passed by with a large bite not on his head, but on his left shoulder.
And soon, we could see that Horrence’s left arm had been completely torn off. Of course, the darkness would come again and the arm would regenerate, but judging by the current situation, it was a very good attack.
Go Yeon-ju and Vivien’s unexpected attack caused its body to collapse even further, and I felt that the time had finally come. It was the signal of the end that I had been anxiously waiting for. This time, I was about to grab my sword and go in with the intention of putting an end to it.
“hot!”
“Ha!”
Come to think of it, it wasn’t just me and Go Yeon-ju, but there were two other people as well. An Hyeon and Yu-jeong also seemed to be measuring the time to enter by watching the exchange of attacks between me and him. Moreover, when Go Yeon-ju struck once more, each of them seemed to think this was the perfect opportunity and rushed forward with their weapons raised. The katana and spear were stained with white light, and each person had a translucent shield on their body, so it seemed like they were receiving protection from priests and wizards.
Ahn Hyeon, perhaps intending to attack first, lunged forward and took the lead. While the guy first pierced the body once with the spear and immediately escaped, Yujeong, who was a little later, swung his dagger and closed the distance. At that moment, a large explosion of darkness occurred again, centered on the left arm that had been torn from the body of the man who was leaning. As if a fountain was pouring down, the darkness filled the surroundings without any gaps, and soon the sound of tearing the soft skin of the street was heard.
It was just a blink of an eye. It may not have been more than a second, but before I knew it, Yu-jeong’s body was seen hanging in the air. And the darkness was sticking out of her abdomen in a ghastly shape.
“Ahh… . Cough!”
A moment of silence passed. Meanwhile, the guy who had put her body back together slowly corrected her posture and lifted her up as if showing off the darkness that had pierced her. Like her clothes hanging on her clothesline, Yujeong’s waist bends further and her long hair falls down accordingly.
“purr!”
I couldn’t see Horrence’s expression. But for some reason, I felt like he was grinning. Could it be that he was targeting me from the beginning? Did they target other users with the expectation that they would attack me? I don’t know what the Doom Knight was thinking, but I had a strong feeling that he was probably deliberately targeting other users to provoke me. Because the guy sharply swung his sword at me as if he was going to take back what had been done to him.
Crash, shake.
The oil well stuck in the black sword was seen coming out, flying through the air, and then falling helplessly on the floor. Yujeong, who was thrown exactly in front of me, immediately crouched down and covered his abdomen with his hand. But there was so much blood seeping from her hand that she was already getting a little bit of it on her floor.
“ah… green onion… . Cough!”
Vivid blood flowed from her lips along with a voice soaked in pain. And the moment she saw her crouching figure, her current appearance as Yu-jeong and her past memories of Han So-young overlapped.
Belphegor was laughing wildly while holding her up.
The Clan Lord of Istantel Row was thrown in front of us with a large hole in his abdomen.
And a few strands of blood flowed down the corner of her mouth.
That moment. I felt my heart beating rapidly. Blood spurted all the way to her head, and her eyes were spinning. A burning anger wells up in her chest and hot breath comes out of her nose.
I got down on one knee and supported the oil well. Then she lifts her arm, shows her bracelet, and whispers in her ear, “Recovery.” He whispered quietly. Yujeong opened her eyes with difficulty, and she barely opened her mouth to repeat what I said. Then, she could see a brief flash of light from the bracelet she was wearing.
The healing power contained in the bracelet took effect, and her tremors subsided slightly. However, her wounds were so severe in the first place that there was no way she could heal them. I called Ahn Hyeon, who had already fallen behind, and entrusted him with the oil well.
“I think it would be best for you and Yujeong to leave now. “Take Yujeong to Ansol and treat her.”
“Tongue, bro.”
“request.”
The moment Ahn Hyun heard the request, his eyes widened. Then he hurriedly took the oil well and started running towards his companions without saying a word. And then I tilted my sword again and looked at Horrence in front of me. And then he opened his mouth in a cold voice.
“High user performance.”
“yes.”
She, who was quietly hiding in the dark, immediately appeared at my call. I continued quietly without looking away from Horrence.
“It’s okay if you don’t do it anymore Wonho.”
“what… .”
“Please take care of the group behind us.”
“… all right.”
When I interrupted her mid-sentence, she walked away without saying anything more. However, the answer came half a beat slower, so it seemed like he understood what I meant.
The words themselves were nothing strange, but judging from the way they spoke, it seemed like they were telling me to stay back because it seemed like it would get in my way. It was clear that the words were rude to users who reached
IstanTel Law, the clan I was part of during the first round, had one user called Phantasm Sword User. It was his unique ability, and he was one of the few users I was friendly with. And I was able to learn Lee Hyeong Hwan Wi (移形換位) from him. At that time, while teaching, he added one thing.
My current magical ability is 96 points. So how many times can it be used against Horrence?
I raised my head and stared at the guy in front of me with cold eyes. I was planning on paying him back thoroughly for bringing back unpleasant memories.
