Chapter 1514 – 1514. Map of Ascension
– What should I do? Shall we ambush first?
I heard Mi-ryung’s voice in my head.
It is different from the whole tone, which is secretly conveyed by putting the voice on the qi. It was close to telepathy. This would be a trick
I answered her with her telephony as I was not as telepathic as she was.
– Let’s wait. Jeongcheok and the ronin will show up soon and get your attention. Let’s start then
I didn’t want to work alone as if I was poisoned.
Had I waited a day or two?
The black tigers, who were holding their breath, looked at the chief black tiger as if they sensed something. A black tiger sitting on a rock gets up. Unlike other tigers, Black Tiger stood up on two legs like a human.
The Black Tiger roared, looking somewhere in the forest.
“Uhhhhh!”
The sound echoed through the forest. Except for the black tigers, the black tigers moved. It moved to ambush the slowly approaching ronin first.
This time, the black tiger, the leader, also came down slowly from the rock, probably thinking of moving. And he slowly walks on his own two feet as if he were special.
‘Is it now?’
After telling Mi-ryung not to intervene, I rushed at Black Tiger. He swung his sword with a blue river at the black fur.
“?!”
Black Tiger responded. Move his whole body swiftly to avoid my attack. And he looks at me with a shocked expression.
“Amazing. If I hadn’t reacted even a little bit, I would have died.”
Even the reaction of the youkai was good. I just regretted not being able to kill him in one shot.
‘I thought it was a surprise attack with perfect timing.’
I don’t know about anything else, but I think that one sense is better than me. Of course, that didn’t mean that the black tiger had an advantage. Battles aren’t so simple that winning or losing can be decided with just one sense.
“Shut up and give me your skin.”
Thunderstorm gale trust.
Paper weave.
Sparks flew all over the body.
[Use acceleration. It stays on for 10 minutes. Stacks Remaining: 6]
I did not intend to prolong the battle, so I accelerated with all my might from the beginning. Close the distance and swing your sword.
The sword’s wielding itself was so bad that even third-rate uninhabited people laughed at it. Because I just swung it around. But no one can laugh at my sword. Even if the group contained in one blow was terrible, its speed exceeded the perception of ordinary people.
My current blow was faster than sound.
“Aww!”
Blood spurted from the black tiger’s right arm. His arm couldn’t be cut off. The black tiger pulled back his body in response to the blow that transcended the speed of sound.
I took a breath and looked at the ground. Black Tiger’s footprints remained strong. Regularity was felt in the footprints.
“Did you learn martial arts?”
“Do you think martial arts are the exclusive property of humans?”
“I was just curious and asked. Usually youkai hone their skills rather than martial arts.”
“My only ability is a strong body. It seemed to go well with martial arts that use the body. Especially… This Jobeop (爪法) is martial arts!”
Black Tiger swings his claws. Four condensed black rivers fly. Instead of dodging, I countered with a strong force. Four rivers flew in opposite directions. Trees and rocks touched by the river were cut down and fell to the ground.
Article Law. Martial arts using fingernails. It was a fairly minor martial art that was rarely learned among martial arts.
“Cluck. Get this from somewhere!”
The black tiger’s arms and legs move dazzlingly. It seemed like they were attacking an invisible target as if they were doing shadow boxing. But I couldn’t relax. It was because every time he swung his arms and legs, strong energy flew.
‘It’s impossible to accept it like before.’
If you are obsessed with receiving it, your body will be sliced by the continuous strong wind. There is also a limit to enduring with self-defense.
‘Avoid and approach.’
Thunderstorm thunderstorm.
Step on the steps Thunder rumbles at your toes.
I approached, avoiding all the flying winds. Black Tiger was no fool. He keeps my legs in check and puts as much distance as possible. However, the distance between them is getting smaller and smaller.
Black Tiger wielded his claws and claws without a break, but his strong qi could not be blown away forever. There was a moment when his breathing was disrupted, and I aimed for that gap.
[Uses a moment. Stacks Remaining: 5]
The distance closes in an instant.
Cerebrospinal flow Brain death.
The tip of his sword twisted like a snake and aimed at the center of Black Tiger’s chest.
“You got it! White lotus!”
Black Tiger blew the pipe he was holding in his mouth. White smoke rose like an explosion and pushed me away. I was blown back by the smoke. I tried to stick my knife into the ground before the distance got too far, but the white smoke didn’t stop and pushed me all the way out.
‘Damn it. This isn’t martial arts, it’s the power of magic.’
The body is hot. White smoke permeates through the self-defense machine. If it stays like this, it will become human smoked meat.
I pulled the knife from the ground. The body rises and flies backwards. In the meantime, focus your mind and swing your sword.
Thunderstorm. Thunderstorm.
Blue light split the white smoke. At the end of the cracked smoke, a black tiger stood awake. I stepped on the thunderbolt once again and ran toward the black tiger.
Shit.
The black tiger smiles and sticks out its claws at me. The strong energy gathered at the tips of the nails and formed a sphere.
Kang Hwan (罡丸). A small bomb made by compressing strong air.
Kang Hwan flew to me. It was impossible to avoid it completely even if it was for a moment.
[Uses a moment. Stacks Remaining: 4]
Used a moment I searched for an answer in a slowed down world. I wouldn’t die if I avoided it even now, but I had to be prepared to lose at least one limb.
It is also good to believe in complete recovery and move forward.
‘My pride gets hurt when I get attacked just now….’
Contemplating, I activated the time of genius.
[Activates Time of Genius for 10 seconds.]
Kang Hwan of Black Tiger stands out in particular. Kanghwan’s structure was visible. When the strong ring explodes, the compressed strong air will sweep in all directions like a storm and cut everything.
‘There is only one way. I just need to cut down the whole strong ring.’
It’s easy to say. And the reality is not as easy as the words that are spit out in the middle of the day.
‘It seems different this time.’
Move the knife as your senses and inspiration lead you.
Brain stream (雷天流).
Cut
It should not be simply cut.
You have to cut down the core that makes up the stronghold. It is clearly a realm of concepts beyond physical laws.
‘It is possible.’
The reason is simple. I am at a higher level than Black Tiger.
The blade of lightning swings. Kang-hwan is split in half. Instead of exploding, Kanghwan disappeared as if he was melting into the air.
Cerebral stream Heodo (虛道)..
Run through the air There is nothing to block. I became a thunderbolt and thrust the knife into his chest.
“It doesn’t explode?! What did you do?!”
The astonished black tiger cries out. It smelled like a beast. His voice is full of regret.
“What is the trick? It’s just that you’re weaker than me.”
Before Black Tiger’s claws moved, he raised his sword and cut off his head. A fountain of blood gushed out. The black tiger’s huge body fell backwards and fell. You don’t have to do a confirmation kill. The guy is definitely dead.
“Thanks for your efforts.”
Mi-ryung appeared from the side. She wiped my hair with a white towel. The towel was stained red with the blood of the Black Tiger.
I looked around. It was a mess. There were no intact trees. It seemed that the ground had turned upside down.
“Miyoung. Let’s take care of things first. Don’t you have the space he had?”
“Well. Will there be If you reach the level of the five qi, you will be able to obtain a sense of space. By the way… This monster isn’t even wearing clothes….”
“Usually youkai carry them inside their bodies.”
Of course, such monsters were very rare.
Paper weave.
The electric current from my hand ran through the black tiger’s body once. It’s kind of a scan.
“Did you find it?”
“It’s in your ears. It’s not like it was put in deeply, but it feels like it’s overlaid?”
I put my hand in his right ear. He took out a wooden box slightly smaller than the palm of his hand without difficulty. I took out all the stuff in the space box.
The martial arts book called Cheol-o-jobeop (鐵烏爪法) fell first. Then cheap elixirs and human meat pour in. There was over 300 kg of human meat alone. Mostly the head and thighs.
“Wow. I’m afraid someone isn’t a monster, so I carry human meat. Well? West?”
As if I was possessed, I held the secret money that had fallen to the floor in my hand. On the cover, the words “Yeok-Mashin Gong” Were written on it.
“Why does this guy have the secret level of a reverse magician? No way… Is this guy also a member of the Mukjiryun?”
“A reverse magician? Hmm. The book has a strange energy to it. Can I have a look for a second?”
“Uh. I do not care. Instead, don’t overcook it.”
“A. Why am I learning to pour out such ominous energy?”
Mi-ryung started looking at the reverse magic trick. Her face grew more and more serious. I sorted it out first. All human meat was discarded, and the black tiger’s corpse and cheap elixirs were placed in the space box. The martial arts called Cheol-ojo law was just burned. I’m not interested either.
“West. This… It’s a pretty dangerous trick.”
“They say it’s a martial art close to magic. Was there a real trick?”
“The book itself is normal except for the fact that it has an evil aura. It is a structure in which you unconsciously use the technique while operating your internal power according to the structure written here. Still, if that’s all, that’s fine. It’s not a tactic that’s so simple that the tactic can be activated just that much. However….”
“However?”
“The moment the human flesh is consumed, the magic is fully activated.”
“You mean the magic that transforms you into a monster?”
“Yes. And the youkai will gain even stronger power.”
“…… Does it work for youkai too?”
That was the first time I’d heard of it.
“Because the technique written here is for youkai in the first place. Nachal’s drink. It’s the Raksha’s technique to become stronger by eating humans.”
I tilted my head. I know it’s a great trick. But is that enough to make Mi-ryung look serious?
“Why so serious? This isn’t a technique that will harm you if you don’t master it. If there’s a problem, it’s a problem that the reverse magicians have to deal with.”
“The sake of Rakshasa is not the magic of this world.”
“Is it a technique from another world?”
“Yes. The sake of Rakshasa is the magic of the underworld. In other words, it is magic.”
