Chapter 326 – 326. Defense
326. Defense
“Are these people?”
A man came in, looked at us and said to the association staff.
The hunters, except for me and the association staff, could not understand his words at all.
The reason I can hear Chinese is because I entered the worldview of ‘Taegeukjijon’. At that time, I naturally learned Chinese.
“Yes. The 10 people here are hunters who will support the evacuation of the villagers.”
“Thank you for your help. Come forward and come close to me. Please move quickly as time is running out.”
An association staff member translated his words and told us. We packed our equipment and approached the Chinese.
‘Is this person China’s Class A space traveler?’
I checked the Chinese.
His clothes were twisted, and there were black dark circles under his eyes. It was only natural that China had been given a level 5 monster disaster alert, so they would have had to work without sleep.
‘A person with the ability to move in space. Those with the ability to move to another country are very rare.’
Looking at that face that looks like it’s about to collapse at any moment, I’m not particularly envious.
“Whoa…. I will move.”
He spoke and raised Mana. And the moment we felt our bodies shake, we moved to a Chinese cattle village. There were 20 people who looked like Chinese hunters standing around us.
“Coke. Coke! Coke!”
It was the Chinese who space-shifted us who coughed. With a pale face, he looked in such bad shape that he thought he might collapse.
“… I’ll just go. I still have a lot of work to do….”
He spoke as if lamenting and then used his powers to disappear.
‘Ugh. It looks like they’re not joking around.’
Spatial movement is a rare ability, but it has a great ability, so it is treated much better than normal hunters. However, there is a risk of abuse of the ability, so you cannot use the ability at will.
When moving in space to a town or city of a certain size, you must obtain permission from the association or government. That is why people liken people with the ability to move through space to a dog on a leash.
“Ruler!”
A man caught our attention. He was a man in his thirties with short hair and glasses.
“My name is Jiu-jin from the Festio Guild. Does anyone here speak Chinese?”
Festio Guild.
It was the first guild name I had ever heard of. And what I don’t know is more than 70% chance that it’s an insignificant guild.
“I know how to do it.”
I raised my hand. Han Harin next to me looked at me suspiciously. But I was confident.
“There are people besides me who can speak Chinese. Nice to meet you.”
Jiujin came up to me, shook my hand and spoke in Chinese. It seemed to be testing me to see if I really spoke Chinese.
“Yes. Nice to meet you This is Sung Eugene.”
As we were shaking hands, someone came up to us.
“Hey. Korean Hunters. Now is not the time to say goodbye leisurely. You haven’t forgotten our mission, have you?”
He was a man in his mid-thirties, wearing a uniform. The man has a long black beard that extends down to his chest and is equipped with a large yam sword on his back.
“It can’t be. There is a saying that the faster you go, go back, and I thought there would still be room. Who are you?”
“I am Gonggon. A disciple of King Domun (覇王刀門). Rather than that, shouldn’t we reassure the residents who are waiting for us now?”
Gonggon pointed to either side. People who seemed to be villagers were watching us.
“Ah…. Gonggon. You’re right. Fellow villagers! We are hunters from Korea!”
•••
After that, we gathered together and planned a strategy, and decided to evacuate to Lanzhou City tomorrow at noon.
And now I’m looking down from the roof of the tallest building in town. To be exact, I was looking at a woman.
She was the Chinese side Hunter.
With long black hair tied back and fair skin, she was a rare beauty even in Korea. She wears a military uniform like Kong Gon and has a large yam sword on her back. I’ve seen Gong Gon treat her politely a few times.
‘If you look at similar uniforms and similar weapons, the answer will come out. They belong to the same guild. Did you say the Gate of the King? The female side has a higher status than Gonggon.’
The Chinese call themselves munpa rather than guilds. In fact, unlike guilds in other countries, guilds in China are a concept close to munpa in martial arts novels.
Could it be because she was staring at her too closely?
She looked at me I didn’t look away.
‘Hoo. I look prettier this way. They seem to have the same skills as me to rape…. This is also reality. I’m going to have to grab the strands on the twist side. But how should I twist it?’
She was frowning. Doesn’t look very good.
She runs towards me Her footwork as she steps on the roof and jumps is as light as a bird taking flight.
‘It’s light work.’
It didn’t even take 5 minutes for it to come to me. He probably trained in martial arts from a very young age.
“Why are you spying on me from earlier?”
“Surveillance. Bad to hear I was just watching. Beauty like you is rare.”
“The bullshit…. You’ve been looking at me since daytime earlier. Do you think I would not know that?”
“It’s because I saw it because it’s pretty.”
“…….”
Even if I said that she was pretty, her cold atmosphere did not ease. Her eyes looking at me were full of doubt.
“I know you are from Korea. Reveal your identity.”
“I’m Seong Yu-jin, an E-class hunter.”
“You should know that she didn’t tell you what it was. …… Wait, E-class? E-class is doing this mission?”
“My skills are at the C level recognized by the association. You can also show your temporary hunter ID. And I don’t have a guild, so I don’t have anything to reveal. Ah, something called Yeongcheon-ryu?”
“Youngcheonryu… ?! You’re Youngcheon-ryu?!”
She nodded her head while watching her reaction that reminded her of something. Yeongcheon-ryu is also famous in China.
“I have revealed my identity. Now it’s your turn to reveal your identity.”
“This is Ryu Ja-young of the Gate of the King. I hope we will meet like this Good for you. Seong Yu-jin of Yeongcheon-ryu. I ask you for a job.”
Ryu Ja-young casually lifted the yam sword that was equipped on his back with his right hand. He doesn’t know how much he has trained in martial arts, but his posture is flawless.
“For a moment. Beam?! It’s not sparring, it’s bimu?!”
Dalian and bimu are different. I know it because I heard it from Jin Se-young.
In the case of sparring, it can be seen as training with an opponent, and bimu is more like a duel in which martial arts are aimed at each other.
The rain is brutal. If you’re unlucky, one or the other may lose your life.
“Yes. Wu of Yeongcheon Ryu heard from his father. He said fast and furious nothing. So I will check with my own eyes to see if my father is right.”
“Suddenly it’s raining, what is that….”
I tried to say no, but kept my mouth shut.
My head spins around
“Ryu Ja-young. Do you know what a beam dance means?”
Ryu Ja-young’s coolly stretched eyebrows wriggled.
“Do you think I would have applied to you without knowing the meaning of the dance?”
“If you knew, you would know that you are being rude right now. Right?”
“… Admit my rudeness sorry. However, I cannot refuse to apply for the military service.”
“I know. There is also a willingness to accept non-mu. If you accept the terms.”
“Condition?”
“The loser of the battle will grant the winner any request.”
“… Any request? I cannot accept such ambiguous conditions. Please tell me the details.”
I laughed. Surprisingly, Ryu Ja-young was strict. I was going to eat it after winning the match…. It would be better to abandon that plan.
“It’s training. When I want…. Help me with my training roughly three times.”
“If that’s a request…. I get it. I will listen.”
I put on a sinister smile that kept popping out. I didn’t say exactly what kind of training I wanted.
“Then now it’s your turn. When you win What are you going to ask me for?”
“When I won the match…. Okay. It was me who was rude and applied for the military service. I’m just curious about Youngcheonryu. Even if I win the match, I have no intention of asking you for anything.”
“Oh, okay.”
“Now let’s dance….”
“Wait, wait. What are you planning to do here?”
I pointed my finger under my feet. We are currently standing on the roof. If you fight here, the house will be destroyed.
“…….”
Ryu Ja-yeong looked around and then put the yam sword back on her back and said.
“I saw earlier that there is a nice vacant lot at the back of the village. Let’s dance there.”
“Great.”
•••
Kaaang!
I blocked the fall from above with the Hwaryeonbido on the side. I bounced unsteadily, and my legs were pushed back wobbly.
There was also a reason that Ryu Ja-young’s physical ability was superior to mine, but Ryu Ja-young’s method of defeat was, as the name suggests, a fighting style that pushes with force. If I collide head-on, I have no choice but to be pushed away.
‘It’s a great power. Besides, the Way of the King is not ignorant at all, unlike how it looks ignorant. If it was really ignorant martial arts, there’s no way I would be pushed out like this.’
I widened my distance and looked at the red swords swaying on Ryu Ja-young’s yam-do. Some would say that it should be called pottery because it is the energy generated by the Tao, but most do not make such a distinction and call it Geomgi. Although I tend to differentiate between the energy generated by spears and fists.
“Youngcheonryu…. It’s disappointing from what I’ve heard.”
“That is too hasty a judgment. I haven’t even started yet.”
Grip support.
A red thunderbolt wriggled ferociously from the sword shimmering with blue sword.
Ja-Young Ryu widened his eyes as if in surprise, then quickly calmed down his expression and stanceed more carefully than before.
His attitude, which had been exclusively offensive, changed to defensive.
‘Are you trying to explore the Yeongcheon Stream? … Great. If you can explore, try it.’
[Use acceleration. It stays on for 10 minutes. Stacks Remaining: 4]
Stepping on her brain note, she ran towards her Ryu Ja-young and brandished her sword. Ryu Ja-young raises her mana to the limit and wields her yam sword.
Caught
Yeongcheon Stream Byeokgye.
Ryu Ja-young’s sword sword attacks the wrong place right next to my body. I walked past her and poked her fist into her slender side. No matter how much, she couldn’t cut her side with her sword.
But my fist was blocked by something transparent 3 cm in front of her body.
“…… !”
Booooong!
Ryu Ja-young swung her yam sword. She was blown backwards by the huge winds from Yamado, which threw her body off balance. I did somersaults in the air and landed on the floor, frowning.
“Ryu Ja-young. What is that?”
“It is my ability. Phase defense. The ability of the barrier to automatically protect me.”
“… Do I have to break that barrier to beat you?”
“No. If you are stronger than me, I will admit defeat without hesitation.”
“That’s a good attitude.”
I ran at her again and used her barrier.
“That technique no longer works.”
I wasn’t surprised because I was expecting it. I pretended to wield her sword at her, and under her I tried to hook her leg by extending her leg. However, both were blocked. The knife was blocked by the yam sword, and the legs walked but did not budge.
Ryu Ja-young was far ahead in strength.
Whoops! Booung! Wow!
Ryu Ja-young’s attack is not fast. But powerful Even if it brushes against her, she will be seriously hurt by the aftermath.
Right now, the ground around her was a mess. The floor is dug, dust is flying, and pieces of stone are broken.
‘Besides, he has great stamina. If that’s the case, I’ll get tired first.’
She was a tough woman
I wonder if he will be this tough in bed.
‘Let’s do our best this time. If not… I have to win even with full recovery.’
I used all my mana to fire a lightning strike.
“… That red lightning is dangerous.”
“Don’t use red mines?”
“No way. Do you think I would say something like that? Come on.”
Grip support.
Their arms clashed against each other. Red lightning rode the sword and flowed into Ryu Ja-young’s hand. The barrier around her body flashed, but a portion of the lightning rode into her body.
Ryu Ja-yeong grits her teeth and wields her yam sword.
[Uses a moment. Stacks Remaining: 3]
I dodged to the side and hit her in the side with the hilt. It’s blocked by a barrier, but it doesn’t matter. Because my purpose is to make current flow.
Boo woo woo!
[Uses a moment. Stacks Remaining: 2]
Avoiding being swung to the left, he burrowed into her arms.
Dismissal. Dismissal.
Ryu Ja-young, who was electrocuted by her enemy lightning, reacted much later than before. The knife was aimed at her neck.
“Big uh…. I lost.”
