chapter 367
367 – A Hidden Move
The healers who are accustomed to Park Chan-hee, who fell several times, diligently began healing.
Jang Yu-chan, who saw the distorted faces of the healers, suggested that the game resume once the injured were treated.
“You don’t have to say thank you. Healers are valuable assets. Haha.”
“······.”
It was very amusing to see Hyun Woo-seok’s eyes flutter at Jang Yu-chan’s remarks as if he had shown great consideration.
Hyun Woo-seok had an expression on his face that did not understand how something like this could happen. I don’t think I’ve ever imagined this kind of development.
Well, they are only grade C, but they are swordsmen with very high abilities, and with the advantage of space and even taking medicine, it would have been difficult to think that they would lose.
The plan for how to deal with us when they win and how to establish a relationship with Vision after that is probably down to ABCDE.
‘My mental state is a bit worse than I thought…’
Hyun Woo-seok with a mesmerized expression.
Then, I made eye contact with him and didn’t show any reaction.
The perception that it was a strong summoned beast was enough.
There is no need to show humane behavior.
Afterwards, two more hunters participated in Ilseom, but their level was significantly lower than the previous two, so I stayed still and only dealt with Rakan.
“Uuuuu! Stop!
The third opponent had to surrender without a single successful attack against Rakan.
The fourth opponent did quite well, but he was thrown to the ground and his back was stepped on by Rakan.
As soon as he had to repay the humiliation suffered by Noh Hayun, Hyun Woo-seok’s face became even darker.
Rakan was contemplating whether or not to grab the man’s neck and bite it with her mouth.
The man whose face was half swallowed by the wide open mouth he had slipped into his pants.
He lost consciousness.
‘I might not be able to recover from that…’
I felt regret that I had lost a valuable talent by sending Rakan for no reason.
However, in this special situation, it was necessary for Yeonhee to gain experience in operating summons.
“Ilwol, I was worried a lot. It seems like there’s less of a problem than I thought. Right?”
“Crack, crack, crack!”
I wasn’t that worried in the first place, but I still came in feeling nervous that my summons might be forcibly canceled or something like that.
But what we feared did not happen, and our power was already far beyond what we thought.
Even the guy who turned Noh Hayun into a groggy state wasn’t much of a threat to me.
Of course, they were targeting loopholes, but even if that wasn’t the case, it wouldn’t have been much of a problem to suppress them.
Hyeon Woo-seok looks at the sparring field with empty eyes.
What is he thinking now?
If I were a human, I would have been able to approach him and have many interesting conversations, but it was such a shame.
‘I hope you come to your senses. The biggest problem is that there is no one around to correct that guy.’
Ilseom’s swordsmen are remembered as a group that sacrificed their lives to fight when the Orc army came in the future.
So I didn’t understand what was happening anymore.
I don’t like what Hyun Woo-seok is doing, but I sincerely hope that he will take a slightly more righteous path.
That’s because it’s a question of survival. Otherwise, there’s no reason to worry about a brat like that.
– The last… It’s already the last?
– How did it end up like this?
In the end, I reached the last runner of Ilseom.
At this point, the atmosphere on the Ilseom side became very depressed, everyone had their heads down, and we were talking freely as if it were a festival.
– Have you seen the strength of our Lady Hayun’s colleagues?! Haha!!
– You resorted to cowardly measures and it was only like this? Hey you bastards!
– Wooooo!
– Next time, come over to us and let’s do it one more time! At that time, I will completely freeze everything!
Most of the people were booing, and it was so blatant that I wondered if it was okay to do that.
The hunters of the Ilseom Guild had to tremble and experience the humiliation, but they were unable to respond in any way because of what they had done.
Even though they clearly pushed us overwhelmingly and got what they wanted, they were in a situation where they were at their wits’ end, but seeing them being pushed back so far must have made their blood boil.
On the other hand, Jang Yu-chan of the Vision Guild and the person who appeared to be his secretary were now watching us more closely than Ilseom, and their conversation went a few steps further.
– I heard it from Lady Hayun… But that skeleton in full body armor is really scary. Shouldn’t we prepare as well?
-… Absolutely it’s ridiculously different from the latest information. That skull is already well beyond B grade. The same goes for that mutant werewolf. Not to mention Lee Yeon-hee, who uses two summons of higher rank than her at the same time in this environment.
– I heard that Lee Yeon-hee already has a contract with the White Knight Guild…
– Hehe… If we decide to do it, we can turn it into nothing. If you hand over a reasonable offer to the White Knight Guild, they won’t bother to capture those kids.
‘What kind of kimchi soup…’
I felt absurd as I saw Jang Yu-chan suddenly trying to scout us out.
You know we can listen… But maybe we’re just telling you to listen.
‘If we make an offer, they’ll let us go? Well… I think I can see the White Knight Guild a bit easily.’
Among the top hunters in the White Knight Guild, Kang Yeon-soo is the only one who is actively active externally.
The remaining hunters are surprisingly many dungeon junkies, so if the time goes on, there are bound to be people who look down on them like that.
However, the reason they want us is not just because they view the White Knight Guild as easygoing.
‘I guess it’s for Noh Hayun.’
Now you can see Noh Hayun sitting on the floor and catching her breath.
Because she had an eccentric personality, I thought she would be in an awkward position within the guild, but when I saw so many people following her and cheering her on, it seemed like she was quite loved.
‘It seems like most people have seen it since they were young, but…’
Considering that she looked at us with warm eyes after training with her and getting along with her naturally, the biggest reason she ultimately wanted to recruit us was for Noh Hayun.
‘Hmm?’
When I was lost in other thoughts, I felt a certain energy stimulating me.
And as it began to stagger and move, it seemed clear that the ace of this match was the one that revived expectations on the Ilseom side as well.
“Hyun, do your best. You can think that there is no turning back.”
“…Yes.”
A woman with a gloomy tone responds to Hyun Woo-seok’s words in a hushed voice and then walks shakily toward me again.
‘Hyuna… Hyuna… Did she have a name like that?’
Once we put our swords together, I felt like I would remember.
A prosecutor named Hyuna, who had reached a distance of about 5 meters from us, bowed at the waist and immediately put her feet up.
Woooooung──
As soon as she took her stance, her unfamiliar energy enveloped her, pushing her slightly out of the realm of my senses.
Banish is the ability to detect and destroy intangible energy.
A red-haired elf was seen a while back.
It felt like that woman was doing it unconsciously as well.
‘Uh…A little bit of this. It’s dangerous. Even though I didn’t take any medicine, I still have that much energy?’
The energy I felt was very dark and shady.
It is said that the energy of a person who has practiced swordsmanship for a long time reveals the person’s hidden inner self, and we suddenly wondered what kind of life the person in front of us had led.
“Ilwol… Let’s spread some distance between us. I don’t feel good.”
Nod-
Yeonhee, who has a good sense of humor, must have sensed that something was unusual, and she began to back away.
– Ho… Did you recognize that?
Vision’s Jang Yu-chan nodded his head as if he was amazed, and Hyun Woo-seok chewed his lips for a moment.
“Whoa—”
The other person, named Hyuna, exhaled once, and his arm moved, creating an afterimage as if time had stopped.
[Ilsum-Sixth Step]
‘Hmm?!’
The game started, and the woman’s sharp sword was pulled out of its sheath and instantly flew towards Yeonhee’s neck her.
However, because she came out in front of Yeonhee and was tightly guarded by Rakan, she could not achieve what she wanted with her sword.
Titty teasing!
I quickly deflected the attack with my great sword and had to console myself.
‘Damn… That’s a great sword. It was dangerous, right?’
Of course, it was blocked, but it was really incredibly fast.
The magical energy swirling from the tip of the sword pierced a part of my arm that was outstretched for defense the size of a coin.
It is an insane sword technique that penetrates not only flame armor but also [Strong skin].
‘The guys in front were just groomsmen. There was a trump card. I believed in him and proposed a winning streak.’
I, who had a little taste of Hyeon Jung-gil’s swordsmanship, was able to understand right away after competing with him.
‘You have to meet Hyun Woo-seok in person to know how great of a genius he is… But this woman definitely has a genius just as great as him.’
It seems that he even interpreted Ilseom’s swordsmanship in his own way and arbitrarily changed his movements to use his sword his with extreme speed. That was also amazingly effective.
Pajijik- Pajik-
Of course, freely using [Lightning Walk] Was basic.
Chae-Chae-Chaeng!
‘Ugh?! What kind of sword?!’
The sword even curved like a snake and pierced my side.
Pugh—!
“Hey, Ilwol!”
“Crack, crack, crack!”
I signaled to Yeonhee, who was started, that it was okay.
‘It’s a monster…’
A destructive sword technique that possesses both anomalous and destructive power.
The sword that penetrated the armor penetrated the empty space next to the bone, but it was a powerful stab that gave goosebumps for a moment.
“Is it empty…?”
“Tick, tick, tick.”
“Skull…”
······················································································. ·····························································································
With just two collisions, the atmosphere of the sparring hall changed drastically.
“Hehe, was this a cute kid hiding away?”
“You can look forward to it…”
“Indeed…”
He is so strong that even Hyun Woo-seok, who had kept his mouth shut, told him to look forward to it.
-Good! Wipe out that monster!
– Even the instructors recognized Kwon Hyun-ah’s sharp sword skills!
-Avenge my arm! Hyunya!
The atmosphere became so heated that even the losers, who were busy receiving treatment for their injuries, cheered.
Regardless of that, I thought it was a rare opportunity, so I stepped forward.
As she aimed the great sword, Kwon Hyeon-ah put a smile on her face.
‘Are you saying your swordsmanship isn’t scary…?’
They looked at each other and then pulled away at the same time as if they had made a promise.
‘Where!’
The woman enters, persistently targeting Yeonhee.
In some ways, that could have been a better strategy than dealing with me and Rakan.
However, Yeonhee has already moved up in grade.
It won’t be easy as long as Ran is supporting Yeonhee’s potential and Rakan is protecting her. I won’t let you do that.
“Tch…”
In the end, it seems like she looked for a few more opportunities and decided that she couldn’t help it and decided to focus on winning against me.
Of course, I didn’t forget to keep a close eye on Rakan’s movements so as not to make the same mistake as Park Chan-hee.
Chae-chaeng-! Chang─!
Every time Kwon Hyun-ah moves, a strong sound rings out again and again.
‘It’s difficult to get close. There’s no point in turning into a combat type… I’d like to share the sword more.’
It was purely personal greed.
Although I was learning from the teacher, it was a battle against myself, and the experience I gained through sparring was unprecedented.
I couldn’t help but be excited at the feeling of meeting the best helper to help me grow.
