Episode 279 Lee (2)

* * *

Afterwards, Kang-hoo, who received the same response in another approach, immediately copied Lee’s skill with his worldly wisdom.

【The Art of Living – Paseon-gak】

Thanks to you, I learned the name.

An unusual name.

Although it was a one-time thing, Kang-hoo was temporarily given memories and experiences about the Paseon-gak.

Even if it wasn’t as clean as Lee’s, it seemed like it would be possible to implement the skill with fairly useful movements.

Lee changed his attack style as Kang-hoo approached him using a combination of shadow walking and jumping.

I intentionally added a variation because the previously developed method seemed to read the numbers.

Two consecutive kicks.

It was a threatening approach attack skill that involved jumping forward and kicking both feet alternately.

Unlike the previous attack pattern where he dealt with Kang-hoo in a restraining manner, he twisted it in the exact opposite way.

But there was one problem.

Boom!

Kang-hoo used the skill of breaking the barrier.

Although Lee had been keeping his opponent’s various strategies in mind, he never imagined that his own skills would return.

“Ugh!”

Without even having time to think about a counterattack, I was caught in the shockwave of the breakaway ship. It was an unexpected attack.

Copying the skills you wrote and using them exactly as is. Is this even possible?

Even though I managed to avoid the crack, my body lost its balance due to the shock wave and was pushed around as it pleased.

I had to keep my center of gravity and keep my feet on the ground, but since I couldn’t do that, I had no choice but to stumble.

In the meantime.

【Lightning ratio】

Kang-hoo swung a dagger.

An attack with a pushback effect applied.

Rather than calculating and throwing it, it was a dagger thrown out to see how Lee would react.

however.

Lee, who saw the dagger flying towards him and tried to kick it away as a matter of course, ran into another problem.

Pfft!

The moment Lee’s foot touched the dagger, he lost his balance and fell over because he was caught in the knockback effect.

Because I was pushed backwards with my legs raised straight up, my legs were torn more than necessary.

The force of the pushing effect was so great that a heavy, dull pain rose up between my legs.

Whew!

Kang-hoo again swung his lightning sword at the fallen Lee.

When you have a chance to fight a high-level opponent, you have to go hard against him. You can’t give him a chance to catch his breath.

Reality is not a turn-based game.

The enemy will never wait for me to perform my attacks in sequence. That’s more like fiction.

Pfft!

“Ugh!”

This time, Lee’s body, which had been blocked by crossing both arms, was pushed all the way down while sitting on the floor.

It wouldn’t be surprising if her skin was all peeled off because her butt was dragged along the dirt.

Seeing Lee lose his ability to respond, Kang-hoo leaps forward and prepares to immediately connect with a great beheading.

With the enemy’s legs as his main weapon, he’s sitting there, so there’s no better opportunity to attack than now.

The distance between him and Lee narrows to about 2m, and Kang-hoo leaps forward to find the perfect angle to pounce on him!

“… … !”

Kang-hoo, who felt suspicious, stopped his attacking stance and immediately used the clone technique.

Because he immediately summoned his clone in front of himself, his original body was pushed back in reaction.

This is a type of clone implementation that is not commonly used, but it felt like it had to be done this time.

As expected.

Shriririririk!

Lee, who was almost half-lying, suddenly lifted both legs and rotated them 360 degrees.

‘Kick the pinwheel.’

It was a skill named that way in the original because it seemed like the legs were spinning like pinwheels.

It was a heartbreaking moment.

The clone caught in the pinwheel kick was hit repeatedly under the chin and fell down.

Since it’s a clone, there’s no problem. If it was the real thing, it wouldn’t have been strange if everything below the chin was broken.

However, Lee ended up overinvesting because he noticed the situation and responded first.

Lee, who was lifted into the air while doing a pinwheel kick, exposed a more lethal vulnerability than ever.

【Hwa-ryong-chang】

Kang-hoo took out his long spear, added the Hwa-ryong-chang skill, and hurled it at Lee with all his might.

Since it was close and the target point was clear, there seemed to be no better timing than now.

Kwaaaaah!

A huge spear of flame flew out, making a cracking sound.

Phew!

“Kwaaah!”

It was stuck in Lee’s left thigh.

Since the spear wasn’t Kang-hoo’s main weapon, he couldn’t inflict a penetrating wound that would pierce his thigh.

However, the force was enough to penetrate half a span of the spear, and Lee, who was caught in the fire, was in pain.

‘I trust Suho and I will give it to him.’

Kang-hoo swept off his breastplate.

An existing breastplate that has not yet been replaced with a new one. The protection option will prevent one critical hit.

Lee is a stylish boss, so if you fight him with a sophisticated fighting style, you will inevitably get caught in the face.

So I was thinking of going for a dogfight. I should get as close as I can and neutralize his legs.

From the moment the spear was stuck in his thigh, it was almost certain which part he would bite and hang on to.

‘A single blow that is difficult to avoid is a strategic hit.’

After establishing the premise, he immediately attacked Lee.

“Kuaaaah! Aah!”

Paang! Pkaang!

Lee raised his still-stable right leg repeatedly and released a dizzying stream of qi.

The frequency of using the Qigong gun was so high that it could be said to be a Qigong skill that uses the feet.

Swish! Swish!

But this time, it was easy to dodge since it was a cannon that Lee fired without the public. It wasn’t even threatening.

In the end, Lee, who was unable to stop Kang-hoo’s approach, hurriedly took a stance to block Kang-hoo’s dagger.

It was a strategic response calculated to avoid fatal injuries even if one was stabbed somewhere.

but.

Phew!

“Kkaaaah… … !”

“I also tried using my feet a bit.”

Expectations were shattered again.

Kang-hoo, who had been taking a stance as if he was about to swing a dagger, suddenly stretched out his leg with all his might and forcefully pushed the spear stuck in Lee’s thigh with the sole of his foot.

It was a preliminary operation to completely destroy one of Lee’s two main legs.

As a result, the spear tore deeper into his thigh muscle, leaving a wound that was more than a span and a half long instead of half a span.

Seeing Lee’s confused expression, consumed by pain, Kang-hoo pressed even harder.

At that moment, Lee’s chest, which was groaning and twisting, was in an unoccupied state. The guard was down.

Kang-hoo put on weight.

And with the Great Decapitation skill, he tried to thrust the frosty dagger straight into Lee’s heart.

But right then.

“… … .”

Kang-hoo saw a purple light flashing from Lee’s right leg for a moment.

It was clearly an effect linked to a skill. At the same time, it was a room that gave off an ominous feeling.

A fleeting moment.

Kang-hoo had a gut feeling.

‘This is the finishing move.’

Even while consumed by pain.

The guy was using the crisis as an opportunity, and was looking at a picture that would return the blow properly.

If there was no guardian, it was a situation where one could die without even screaming. The power was that significant.

But now, as planned from the beginning, the situation is such that we have decided to strategically hit one.

So, Kang-hoo believed in the activation of Su-ho and threw his own trick regardless of Lee’s kick.

【Line of Distortion】

Papat!

I created a starting point to implement the diagonal line of distortion towards the left side of Lee’s head.

and.

Bam!

A loud noise came from under Kang-hoo’s chin. It was so loud that anyone who heard it would have thought his jaw had been shattered.

【’Guardian’ is activated, nullifying fatal injuries inflicted by enemies. The Guardian effect disappears.】

‘Okay.’

The guardian has been activated.

The sound was loud, but Kang-hoo, who was actually attacked, did not receive any damage.

“… … ?”

Lee’s eyes were filled with question marks.

Even though I had struck a decisive blow, nothing happened. It was an absurd situation.

At that point, Kang-hoo was pulling the destination point of the distorted diagonal line that had been implemented to Lee’s right.

The reason is.

“Keeeek!”

The purpose was to crush Lee’s neck. It was a plan that was planned from the beginning.

Suho removed the most difficult barrier to access, allowing him to climb onto Lee’s body.

Kwuuk!

“Keeek! Eeeeek!”

Kang-hoo pulled the starting point and the ending point as far to the sides as possible, making the diagonal line of distortion tight.

【distortion】

It also triggered distortion.

Even if distortion is triggered along the line, the starting point and the ending point are safe because they are not in the area of ​​distortion.

If Kang-hoo had been impatient and had been holding onto the line, his own hand would have been torn off right away.

The next moment.

Kagagak! Kagagak! Kagagak!

Lee’s neck, which was properly pressed against the diagonal line of distortion, began to tear apart.

Looking at the current structure, it was no different from cutting Lee’s neck with a saw.

“Ugh! Ugh!”

Lee couldn’t even scream properly and just flailed his body.

Even if it’s not a boss monster, but a boss monster harem, I can’t be insensitive to this pain.

The current state of pushing forward with all one’s might.

【acceleration】

In this state where the pressure of the diagonal line was further increased, Kang-hoo deployed his acceleration skill.

At this point, it was similar to putting a few bricks on top of a saw and stepping on them. The pressure was properly applied.

“Crunch! Crunch!”

A scream of pain was heard, but Kang-hoo didn’t even blink an eye.

Red blood poured out like a fountain from the guy’s neck, soaking his face.

A blood shower was expected, as throats were being slit right in front of our noses.

A grotesque sight.

That’s why Kang-hoo thought it was a more meaningful situation.

Because I’m killing the mid-boss monster by any means necessary.

It was a battle that I initially approached with a high probability of failure, with the intention of giving up if necessary.

But when I actually got into it, things went in a much better direction than I had expected.

After that.

Lee struggled to kick Kang-hoo out before his neck was completely cut off.

But, with his chest pressed against mine and he was on top of me, I couldn’t push away Kang-hoo who was determined to strangle me.

Eventually, Lee’s neck, which had passed the critical point that his neck could withstand, was severed by the diagonal line of distortion.

It was neither tattered nor dangling, it was a perfect separation of head and body.

“Whew. Whoa. I don’t know how much strength I put into my body. I feel like my gall bladder is coming up.”

Kang-hoo, who was out of breath, frowned at the dull pain that was running down his shoulders.

I turned my head here and there just in case.

However, it only lasted a little while, and fortunately, it didn’t seem to reach the level of causing gallstones.

The level has reached 276.

It was a 3 point increase in one breath, and considering that Riga was a mid-boss monster, it was a natural reward.

“This is… … a guardian angel.”

Kang-hoo gave a general review.

If there had been no guardian, it felt like the move wouldn’t have worked from the start. A second try was impossible.

Anyway, the goal was achieved.

Now that you’ve made good use of the Guardian option, you can safely replace your Breastplate with the Corrupted Stigmata.

And now all that remains is to rob him of one of his foot skills, which was activated with Lee’s death.

“Now you’re even showing off your footwork.”

Kang-hoo burst into laughter when he saw the list of skill thefts printed out in front of him.

Kang-hoo, who had never used kicks in countless battles, was about to acquire the skill to use his feet.

Raising both legs above waist height and attacking the opponent! That was a completely different world to Kang-hoo.
