The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 294
295 – Yapsap
We glare at each other’s shoulders. I sharpened my senses so that I could react sensitively to even the slightest movement. They decided on their actions and thoughts in one breath, smiled quietly at each other, and without even saying who should go first, kicked the ground violently and hurled their spears at each other’s vital points.
Without any trick, the tip of Cormo’s spear, which was reaching straight towards my heart, disappeared into the dimensional passage I had created, and at the same time, my spear pierced Cormo.
At the same time as Kormo’s upper body was leaning forward, I felt a strange sensation in the fingertips holding the spear. I let go of the spear without any intention of retrieving it and used my intangible breath to pull my body back in an instant.
Suddenly!
The robe I was wearing was cut. If the reaction had been even a little late, the upper body would have been cut off by Wolah. Cormo, whose body was leaning forward as if he was going to fall, put out one leg to regain his balance and regain his posture.
My spear did not pierce Cormo’s body. He twisted his body for a moment and let the attack pass through his empty armpits. Afterwards, he tilted his upper body as if he had been attacked and swung his weapon, using force to tear open the dimensional passage.
“Wow, the response is good. “I also use some strange tricks.”
“I’m too bad of a person to fall for a petty trick.”
After fixing his posture with his hind feet, he held the shadow spear again and crouched down. I could see the magic power fluctuating at the tip of Kormo’s spear. The surrounding space seemed distorted, as if a haze was swirling.
“Haha! Then, just try to hold on to this!”
Cormo seemed to be planning on continuing the attack, but at the same time as he breathed, he swung his spear roughly as if sweeping the road. The more he hit his spear, the more his back foot, which supported his stance, dug into the road surface. Although I was being pushed further and further to the end of the alley, I persevered until the end even though I was able to resist using space magic.
I did not fight Cormo out of the spirit of victory after meeting an enemy who used a spear. In the first place, I never had the arrogant thought that I would fight on equal footing against Kormo, the sword master hunter.
However, the reason why I did not use space magic to target the back, but only counterattacked with the speed of the spear, was to catch the opponent off guard and exploit his weak point.
The reason why the Spear of Shadow was intentionally used instead of the Spear of Destruction, which has the highest destructive power, was to induce caution. The fact that my opponent doesn’t know that I use two spears will definitely be a big variable in the fight.
Cormo’s successive blows cracked the ground in the alley, and a large line was drawn on the wall. I continued to retreat and finally arrived at the edge of the battlefield. This is a situation where you can no longer run away. Cormo, who induced it, smiled wryly and gave strength to his shoulders.
As soon as Kormo’s spear was swung, I realized that a moment of patience had shined. The spatial coordinates of the alley have already been fully recognized. I created a dimensional passage behind my back, moved a long way away from Kormo, and threw the Spear of Shadow with all my might at Kormo’s defenseless back.
Cormo, who sensed the enemy in front of him disappearing and the threat behind his back, put his feet in the air and rotated his body, entrusting himself to the power of swinging his spear. The surprise attack failed, but the original purpose of the javelin was just to buy time. It didn’t matter if he couldn’t damage his opponent.
I took out the Spear of Destruction from the space warehouse. In an instant, the situation changed. Now it was Cormo who was cornered by the border. Our streets are the end and end of alleys. Cormo can’t swing his spear at me at the end of the alley. But I had a way to escape the constraints of distance. One corner of his mouth twitched towards Kormo.
“Deception means I have the upper hand.”
“This b*stard… Was he a wizard?”
Drawing on the power of destruction, he stabbed the spear of destruction, whose blade had turned red, towards the entrance to the dimension. In front of Kormo, who was cornered, dozens of dimensional exits had been created through which he could target his opponent’s vital points from various angles.
Cormo is in a situation where he cannot retreat to the edge of the battlefield. Kormo, who had gained the advantage of a weapon that utilized the length of the spear by using the spear’s ability to interfere with the opponent’s distance control, ended up trapping himself in an iron cage as I had eliminated the spear’s disadvantage of distance control with spatial magic.
If the opponent had stepped back and swung his spear out of the range of the attack, it would have been impossible to launch a one-sided series of attacks. However, the opponent was forced to camp multiple times. Using space magic to instantly turn a cornered situation around, the situation on the battlefield was overwhelmingly turned in my favor.
He unilaterally attacked without giving anyone a chance to catch his breath. Each one is a blow filled with the power of destruction. It was an honest strike that targeted vital points from all directions without even a single thought. From Cormo’s perspective, he had no choice but to use all his strength to block my attack.
In one-on-one attacks, even though our maximum speeds were similar, I was inferior to Kormo in terms of power. However, it was almost impossible to close the distance to an opponent who was only repeating the simple action of ‘stabbing the spear’ towards the entrance of the dimension from afar while blocking attacks coming from all directions. Even more so if that simple stab is a blow with a power that cannot be ignored.
Kormo’s fatigue increases rapidly and damage accumulates. He may have used the power of chaos, but the power of destruction was not fully effective like in the fight with Professor Dwin, but the power contained in the spear of destruction was enough to tear off human flesh.
“You coward! I was expecting it to be a battle of the same spearman… ! Fight fair and square!!!”
Kormo shouted in an angry voice. I couldn’t help but laugh at that voice. The reason I chose the spear as a weapon was because of Cormo in front of me. In the early days of Possession, when I was wondering how to become stronger, I remembered Cormo from Confsion and laid the foundation for my fighting style.
Kormo and I have the same fighting style. In a ‘battlefield’ where the opponent who has a unilateral advantage cannot cross the border, you take advantage of the spear and drive the opponent into a corner to attack. But I didn’t have the ‘battlefield’ that Kormo had.
No, there was no need. By obtaining Rosaline’s space magic, unlike the ‘battlefield’ where even you cannot cross the border, you can only impose one-sided distance restrictions on your opponent.
Delivers a lethal attack by repeating simple stabs from a distance. Forcing the opponent who couldn’t hold on to take the loss and approach was the ‘Yapsap using space magic’ combat method that I thought of.
In the past, while playing a fighting game with a friend at an arcade, I remember having to shoot a long shot three times in a row from a distance and end up fighting, so I planned a fighting method in which I had no choice but to unilaterally force losses on my opponent.
I was even told to give up the spear because I had no talent. I, who had no natural magic power, had no choice but to surpass my skills in order to survive in an academy filled with talents from all over the continent. I said with a bright smile, feeling strangely touched that even Cormo, who was the originator of my fighting style, called me a coward.
“I’m truly happy to be recognized by you.”
“You son of a b*tch!”
Arms, shoulders, and even thighs. Cormo, with pieces of flesh falling off, was seen to finally turn the situation around by briefly grabbing his spear. Lightning of immense power rushed towards me like a flash through the tip of the spear where his magical power was concentrated.
Kwaaa!
A white flash of light rushes through, turning the road surface of the alley over with a loud noise. However, I had already leisurely read the flow of the fight by simply stabbing the spear and changing the settings of the dimension exit.
It is so obvious that the other person will do anything to change the situation. We had already completed preparations to deal with sudden variables. The pure white flash that was rushing towards me was swallowed up in the huge dimensional passage created in front of me and returned to its owner, turning Kormo’s left arm into ashes.
“Kwaaa… ! This kid… !”
Cormo, who was swinging his spear with both arms to block the attack, lost one arm. Fatigue continues to accumulate as they try to block the constant barrage of attacks. Now, all I had to do was prepare for the opponent’s counterattack, ravage to my heart’s content, and then deal the final blow.
Cormo did not give up and resisted hard. However, Kormo was far away and was only able to approach me with a long-range attack by taking two steps. Cormoor’s defense on his left side was broken due to the loss of his left arm.
Due to persistent attacks aimed at openings, Kormo, whose thigh was torn in half by the spear blade, was no longer able to maintain his stance. Kormo had already predicted defeat when the attack on which he poured all his magic failed. It was very easy to drive the Spear of Destruction into the head of Cormo, who fell on the alley floor while letting out a scream that was close to a scream.
After the battle, I took a deep breath. I, who had not yet reached the realm of transcendence, overcame Confsion with tactics alone. An emotion that I don’t know if it was a sense of accomplishment or something else made my heart pound. Some people may call this fight cowardly or petty, but in a fight where life is at stake, justice is who survives.
