Episode 145. trap (6)
Cudangtang!!
Along with the shock came an excruciating pain.
A dizzyingly shaky sight.
I was out of breath.
‘… what.’
I was confused, but I still couldn’t come to my senses in front of my spinning eyes.
Just then, a familiar voice from far away echoed faintly in my ears.
$%@… ! %#.
%$^$@… .
I could barely make out what it was saying, but it seemed like it was calling me.
As soon as I realized that, I suddenly became conscious.
‘What am I doing?’
got up right away.
But it got stuck in the middle.
Awesome!
The moment I put my hands on the ground and tried to stand up, my elbows bent in the opposite direction.
Through his reddened vision, he could see his left arm bent in disarray.
‘… no way?’
A little while ago, when I was blocking Balak’s attack.
I held the handle with my right hand and supported the blade with my left hand.
At that time, most of the strength came from his left arm, so it seemed to have been bent in the opposite direction.
“… … .”
It didn’t hurt at all.
Precisely, it means that the condition is bad enough to feel no pain, but it was better to not have pain right now.
So that there is no discomfort in moving.
“Off, ugh”
Once I got up, I touched the ground with the other hand that was still intact.
I quickly checked my condition.
Fortunately, the rest of the body, including the right arm, was miraculously intact.
“… Roan! Are you okay?”
Uriel exclaimed anxiously.
Seeing that the corners of her eyes turned red, her expression looked more painful than mine.
“Okay… .”
I answered reflexively.
I wanted to tell them it was okay, but to be honest, it wasn’t okay at all.
The left arm was smashed.
Even his energy was shattered on the floor, even his sword.
“ah.”
Uriel’s expression turned pale as if he had seen my dangling left arm belatedly.
Ian wasn’t quite like that, but he couldn’t stop his expression from hardening.
On the other hand, Ballack laughed and admired with a strange tone.
“Are you really human? It’s a miracle to be alive.”
“… … .”
I was suddenly caught off guard.
But Balak didn’t ask the question very seriously, so he continued.
“Well, it doesn’t matter.”
Still standing like a mountain, Balak approaches with heavy steps.
It is to end a long battle.
“Because dying is the same thing anyway.”
There was life in his eyes.
“Roan!”
“!”
Uriel and Ian stood in his way to protect me.
It was an ulterior motive to buy some time away.
“You are misunderstanding something.”
“… what?”
To the two who stood with determined expressions. Balak scratched his head with a cold expression.
“Did it look easy to block? But you guys can’t stop a single thing.”
Wow!!!
“Keugh!?”
Just as he said, Ian couldn’t stand it a few times and fell out.
The situation was not different with Yuriel.
It was natural.
It’s an attack that shouldn’t be blocked in the first place.
I was forced to take it to protect myself, but it couldn’t be effective.
In addition, while both of them were exhausted, it was all the more so because Balak’s body was finally heated up.
Cool, kuck!
The two of them go far away.
Probably broken somewhere, the two trembled and couldn’t get up.
Balak looked at it, but instead of finishing it, he approached me.
soon. A faint shadow fell.
“ah.”
When I raised my head, a giant figure of almost 3m was approaching right in front of me.
he lowered the axe.
Quaang!!
He jumped and dodged the attack.
I threw away the sword with only the handle remaining and picked up Yuriel’s sword that had fallen nearby.
“Are you still not giving up?”
“… … .”
I didn’t answer.
From noble mtl dot com
I closed my ears to concentrate, corrected my sword, and corrected my posture.
I thought as I brushed back the wet hair that was blocking my view.
‘you can do it.’
You only have to endure a few times.
Those few times are hard, but maybe.
It could have been possible now.
Because a little while ago.
the last minute of the last. when concentration is at its peak.
I used to see it pretty clearly.
‘… you can do it.’
repeat once again
chuck.
I put my left arm, which I can’t use anyway, behind my waist.
Standing at an angle, he pointed the tip of his sword at Balak.
“Hmm?”
Balak paused at the unusual posture.
But that’s only for a moment.
He rushed in to finish the long battle.
thump thump!
Ballack running like a tank.
“… … .”
It was a tingling sight, but I focused on his movement without blinking an eye as I bent my knees.
Concentrated and focused.
As a result. The only talent that Sir Kayla, who had never praised, was now shining.
My unique talent, which even our ancestors who commanded the times did not have.
The ability to remember what you’ve seen once.
An insight to see and understand once.
Based on this, I quickly memorized and analyzed Ballack’s personality, physical abilities, martial arts, and attack patterns.
Love liquid!
Balak’s attack rushes in quickly.
It was still intimidating… .
‘… see!’
Because it’s already been several hours.
Also, Balak’s martial arts didn’t have such a complex technique.
I was able to finish figuring out his pattern in a short amount of time.
“after.”
I exhaled and bent my knees.
He extended his sword without wavering.
At the same time as the sword extended, a blue sword stood at its tip.
* * *
‘That’s stupid.’
It was a thought I had while watching the opponent who was struggling as if he had some regrets.
There was no way I could block an attack with one hand that I couldn’t block with both hands.
No, even if his left arm was intact in the first place, it would have been impossible to stop him.
It was only when he challenged the former corps commander and when he faced John in the empire that he drew this much strength.
Since it was such a sincere attack, I was sure that the opponent who was already in a mess would never be able to take it.
If I receive it, my body will not be fine, of course, and it will break along with the sword.
… I thought so.
However, something was strange.
‘… what?’
I took a quick look around.
Shortly thereafter, I noticed something strange.
‘Is it stopped?’
A piece of stone or a leaf blown away by the wind was fixed in the air as if nailed to its place.
‘No, it didn’t stop.’
Looking closely, they were moving at a very slow speed.
However, the fact that he had mistakenly thought that he had stopped was that his perception speed had increased rapidly to that extent.
‘This… .’
Assessing the situation was very quick.
Now, the warrior’s instinct was sending a warning to something unknown.
It’s dangerous, so be careful.
Or it could be dangerous, so be careful.
It was a feeling blessed as a warrior, having saved his life many times, but now doubt prevailed.
‘What the hell?’
This feeling was rarely wrong, but this time I couldn’t figure out what was dangerous.
Everyone is dying, so why?
So I swung the ax all the way. Did you misunderstand something, thinking about it.
However, the moment I met the other person’s sunken eyes, my mind flashed.
“… … !”
At this moment, the opponent’s red eyes were moving minutely.
It was creepy and gave me goosebumps.
‘watching?!’
The opponent was staring straight at the ax blade even in the slowed down time.
Monstrous concentration.
Along with the feeling of being read inside, which I felt at the very beginning, uncomfortable feelings of unknown origin welled up… .
‘No, it’s a useless worry.’
Apart from concentration, I can’t do anything with that state of my body.
Maybe it was because the first cut was unexpected, so it seemed that he reacted unnecessarily sensitively.
‘I’ll have to finish it quickly.’
The corps left outside seemed to be pushed back, perhaps because of the surprise.
So when I organize my thoughts saying that I have to go out to finish it quickly.
Queek.
‘hmm?’
Opponent changed his stance.
with one hand on your hip.
He straightened his sword.
Whoops!
A deep blue sword that spreads out and naturally frosts only at the tip of the sword.
The tip of the sword collided with the ax blade.
Kang!!!!
This time, the contact surface was extremely small, so a sharp metal sound resounded and the thin blade of the sword swayed like a wave.
But it didn’t break.
The opponent was also standing still.
This was due to the extreme reduction of the contact surface and the concentration of mana.
“what… !”
I opened my eyes.
Feeling the thrill, I forgot that I was an enemy, and suddenly burst out in amazement.
do you mean that is possible?
This wasn’t the level of letting go of an attack.
With restrained movements to the limit, it was able to defend and attack at the same time.
If you compare it to a wizard, it was like shooting an arrow exactly at the right time to fire the magic right in front of your nose.
as proof.
Cheer!
Perhaps because the attack was blocked from the front, pain rose from the wrist as a result of the recoil.
It was a very strange pain.
“Whoa… .”
The opponent inhaled.
Then, in an instant, it accelerated and came in like a shot.
“… … !”
I reacted in time, but the opponent rocked back and forth in an irregular rhythm and caught my eye.
The ax cut through the air.
As a result.
… Fit!
An attack that grazes the forearm.
It ended with a scratch, but allowing the attack itself was a problem.
“Such cheeky!”
His eyes turned bright red with anger, and his hands tightened.
If the opponent’s technique is great, you can press it with even stronger force.
“Don’t think of dying in peace!”
Hwaaak!
Raised the magic.
more, more. pushed to the limit.
Burning everything that was handed over for the battle to be fought outside.
however.
Caan… !
“What!?”
The opponent accepted even this.
It was a bit difficult, but that’s it.
As time went by, I gradually started to get used to even this speed.
Rather, it became increasingly aggressive.
Indeed, this side’s movements were all moving as if they had expected them.
Fit! Pipit!
“What?!”
The opponent’s sword gradually grazed near the heart.
Still, I couldn’t fight back.
No matter what you try, the opponent moves as if you expected it, because in the end you don’t know what to do.
“ah.”
I realized it at this time.
The unknown identity of the uncomfortable feelings I felt from the start of the battle.
It was a sense of crisis. The sense of crisis that comes from being able to lose.
‘I?’
The head did not know it, but the sharpened instinct of a warrior sent a warning from the beginning.
Boouk!!
“Kuh… !”
The moment the leather is cut into patches. I had to admit it and decide again.
‘Damn it, I can’t help it.’
It was a method I never wanted to use because my pride was hurt as a warrior, but I had to win right away.
I shouted at the warriors who were on the lookout.
“Attack!”
“… !!!”
The warriors’ expressions changed.
He even ran away furiously.
When the number reached 100, the opponent stopped attacking and retreated.
‘It’s over.’
It was a thought that I took a deep breath.
No matter how skillful you are, your light will fade in front of numbers like this.
That’s why the opponent’s reaction was far beyond expectations.
“Balak.”
He suddenly opened his mouth.
“hmm?”
“If you are going to give up your pride, you should have done it sooner.”
“What is that… . Smile?”
he was smiling brightly.
‘Could there be something else… !?’
I felt uneasy again at that sight, so I gripped the ax tightly.
Sadal got up before he could even swing it.
“late.”
Because it’s already night.
immediately after speaking.
Dark red waves swept everywhere.
