Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 890



890. [Western Front] – The Appearance of Sinchang Eustea (165)

***

After starting the duel with Eustea.

… … I immediately realized the reality.

I am the one who inherits power.

What an absurdly powerful being it was.

Chaechaechaechaeng!

The sharp sound of metal resounding intensely hits my ears like crazy. The spiral that flew as spears collided resulted in the creation of atmospheric distortion.

A strange phenomenon in which spiral air currents become entangled and cancel each other out.

Even if the blade of the spear was slightly off, it was a fatal wound, and a fatal wound meant death.

“… … !”

At that moment, Eustea gently twisted the hand that had stabbed the spear, and I naturally also thrust the spear and twisted my hand.

ㅡ!

And soon, each other’s windows burst into a huge spiral airflow again, creating a bright golden reverberation throughout the space.

However, the reality felt like I was suffocating without realizing it.

‘That doesn’t make sense.’

I have been trying to follow Eustea’s power and have come to my own realization. The power of Eustea that I pursue, its essence is a spear skill that is close to mystical and acrobatic.

In short, it was his ‘spear skill’ itself.

However, Eustea’s intention was not to attack me with a spear attack.

Shoo shoo… !

As his spear took over the space, I suddenly took a deep breath.

“Hmph!”

It made no sense how many times he could throw out a spear in one breath.

And the resulting spiral current makes no more sense. Each window he created moves along the path of a giant spiral without hesitation, as if cruising.

‘how… … ‘You’re better at dealing with spirals than me, right?’

The logic of the giant spiral using the concept of oppression.

From noble mtl dot com

My skill is Surana Seon Chil-sik.

I touched on the power of combining the two earlier.

It could only be called my ‘original’. Even in Eustea’s memories, he had never dealt with a force like the spiral.

This is purely my realization,

This was the path I pursued.

But now.

Saaa!!

The spear he stabbed creates a path for a huge storm and puts pressure on me. That meant he had already surpassed me in dealing with the spiral.

Even though it’s only been a few hours since I appeared in this space.

Showing off a use of power that has already surpassed mine.

Chichichik!

Then, as I ran into the window and heard a bursting sound, I had no choice but to be pushed away so easily that it was pointless.

The spear blade, which passes by the blade of the spear, rushes towards me as if it is rapidly accelerating.

He also realized that it was a use of the power of dealing with spirals.

Immediately afterwards, my hand holding the spear rose into the air as if twisted greatly.

‘transition!’

Even though I quickly grabbed the spear that flew away during the extreme sense of crisis… !

Phew!

Accompanied by a clear breaking sound, intense pain rushes through my entire body.

“… … !”

In my eyes, I saw Eustea, who was just a breath away.

Between his messy black hair, his slender appearance caught my eye.

“… … .”

His eyes, which had no elevation or lows, inadvertently contained me.

And in the meantime, my eyes looked blankly downward. To be precise, it was aimed at the golden spear that pierced my heart, and that spear existed as if it were only natural.

“Cough!”

Although he was coughing up blood in extreme pain, the strength in his hand holding the spear was gone.

Not even 30 minutes had passed since the duel with Eustea began.

But I had to face my ‘first death.’

… … .

After that, death came to me again and again.

It is not like feeling death indirectly or metaphorically.

I was experiencing the unreality that reached the extreme of experiencing ‘death’ directly.

The first death was from a puncture through the heart.

The second death occurred when the arm holding the spear was twisted by the spiral emitted by Eustea and my entire body exploded.

In the third death, his head was blown open by a spear across space, and he didn’t even feel pain.

… … .

Besides that, three more deaths visited me.

And such a death… … .

Tight.

The moment I closed my eyes again and opened them, I was able to live and breathe in this space again, as if even death was a lie.

It was as he said.

I do not die within this space.

This is how I came back to life.

“Han Tiansheng, hold the spear again.”

As Eustea’s voice rang loudly, I clenched my hands in pain that remained like an illusion.

Good!

Then, with my vision colored in golden light, a spear immediately appeared and was held in my hand.

‘Is this already the 6th death?’

But I didn’t even have time to think about it.

Clap la la la rock… … !!

Two giant spirals emerge from the spear held up by Eustea in the front, swirling brilliantly.

ㅡ! ㅡㅡㅡ!!

Standing alone on the blood-red sea, he was once again displaying his power, creating waves like huge waves.

“Whoa.”

After letting out a deep breath, he strengthened the hand holding the spear and created a giant spiral.

Still, I felt like I needed to know just one thing.

“… “Is this the power of will?”

The Eustea that existed before me was undoubtedly ‘real’.

However, even this is like a ‘chiseum’ that is only a part of the will he had during his lifetime.

“Yes, this is the power of will.”

Seeing him calmly agreeing, I felt a shiver run through my body.

‘With only a will like convenience.’

In this way, he embodies images that go far beyond common sense.

This world of images itself was already no different from reality to me.

“okay. “I understand.”

I answer blankly and take in the vast expanse of space, the blood-red sea.

It is a space of struggle where people come back to life and exchange spears with him even though he has already died several times, and a strange image of him that is maintained only by his will.

“… “I can see why you were convinced it couldn’t withstand erosion.”

“Yes, I repeat, I do not underestimate you. No matter how much growth you have achieved, the risk of erosion is just ridiculously high.”

He spoke calmly.

That’s just the reality.

‘Surana dock.’

Even as I naturally put more power into the spear, it felt like I was given a very short reprieve.

Eustea gave exactly 5 minutes after returning from the dead. That’s why, even though he showed such great power, he didn’t push me right away.

If I don’t defeat him, I will have to wander this space endlessly.

‘Even this is for the sake of the spirit.’

So that I don’t collapse here.

And I will never break down here.

“… … .”

In the short time of respite, I remembered our union with him a little while ago.

How many different spears he wields, and how he attacks me with completely different changes even though he clearly wields my power.

So I admitted it.

‘Difference in rank.’

Even though he is like me, there is a wall between him and me.

Therefore, there was only one thing I had to pursue in this sparring.

Slurp.

The hand holding the spear changed, and a subtle laugh escaped.

He tried to save me by dying, but he didn’t have any mercy in his hands. Rather, he just stabbed me with his spear to kill me.

And in the process, he wants me to ‘change’.

I hope that I can overcome him with a strength beyond my previous strength. Because that change will soon become my ‘growth’.

When our eyes met, he suddenly opened his mouth.

“The mind is not infinite.”

“… … infinity.”

“You seem to think that strength of mind is possible through a simple change of will, but that is nothing more than an illusion.”

His calm words were advice.

… … Valuable advice that cannot be obtained at any original value in this world.

“Why isn’t it infinite?”

And I had my doubts about it.

That’s like putting limits on your own mind. I had to face reality with an indomitable will and an unbreakable heart, but that in itself was a contradiction.

“Because it’s stupid.”

Stop.

… … My eyes grew blurry at his words.

“That means you lack enlightenment.”

“You might think so. However, trying to overcome your limits without even knowing your own limits. That is the same as wishing for infinity when your mind is not infinite. “Isn’t that what you think?”

As he twisted the corner of his mouth with a small smile, the hand holding the spear seemed to suddenly lose strength.

“… … .”

For a moment, I felt like my head was floating.

His words were by no means something to be brushed aside lightly.

The man who had already killed me several times faced my window and gave me advice that I needed to learn.

And that… … It was completely to the point.

Not knowing my limits.

I’m thinking of looking at the next thing.

I believe that the mind is infinite, but I do not know what the limits of my mind are.

What is not infinite,

I believe it is infinite.

It was like this space right now.

As if I were alone in the vast, blood-red sea, I couldn’t even figure out where to go and was trying to only look ahead.

I try to move forward blindly, not even knowing if what I’m trying to do is truly the right path or if it’s really the path I should take.

Countless thoughts shake my mind.

“Raise your spear.”

And at the sound of his brilliant voice, I suddenly found myself raising my window in a daze.

A shiver ran through my whole body.

And in my head, a logic that I had never felt before was established.

“… Eustea, I feel so fortunate.”

“Are you lucky?”

I continued speaking as I looked at him who was about to give me death.

“The fact that you did not become an apostle because of the original apostle is more fortunate than anything else.”

I truly thought so.

Even though it’s just an assumption, he can’t face a future where he becomes an enemy.

… I’m so glad that happened.
