#288. The Wise Man 13
#Episode 288.
‘Is it something like a wide-area magic circle set up by a wise man? It’s a little different.’
While I was thinking that, I looked at the eagle-eyed yogi on the floor.
Suuuuuuuuu······
An ominous aura sank and rose above the ground.
It collided with the power of the sage that had been spread out like a carpet.
Kururururung——————!
Using the clash of those two overwhelming forces as a shield, I kicked the air and turned around. It seemed as if I could hear someone’s heavy breathing in my ear.
Even though Gonma’s attack only slightly grazed the abdomen, it was extremely painful. A bird struggling to survive while enduring the pain of its internal organs turning inside out. A good serial killer who saves people every time. A solemn chairman of Mega Corporation who works day and night to delay the destruction of the world······
Anyway, both the wise man and I survived by a hair’s breadth.
From the beginning, I had the idea of just avoiding fatal wounds. With the help of the Sage’s wide-area magic, I was able to move quickly as if my upper body was wide open, so I could respond to attacks that were beyond Gonma’s level of awareness to some extent.
Saaaa······
After a while, Ilehin Poycheka’s turquoise magic began to fall even more heavily. The strength that had been lost due to battle fatigue and injuries began to slowly return. It was quite helpful, considering that his physical condition was already at its worst.
I took a deep breath and looked back.
Hoooooow—!
A place where the atmosphere is bursting out from the pressure of both forces. In the midst of a fierce battle between the magic power of the sage and the demonic energy of Gonma.
【······.】
The bastard who had missed me because I was quick turned his head and looked at me.
And soon, blood started to ooze out from the entire body of the towering man, creating a slick that looked like oil.
Gulp, choaaaah—
At the same time, tentacles stretch out from the eyes, nose, and mouth. The eerieness, as if pulled up from the abyss, stimulates my senses endlessly.
Whew Whew—
It was about 3 meters tall. The arm that had been cut off by the wise man’s bombardment had quickly grown back above the shoulder. The sight of long, fingernail-like things extending from the side of the arm and the sight of it emitting a dark red film that was difficult to face was truly impressive.
By the way, just a moment ago, he was practically a corpse, but then he recovered so quickly as if nothing had happened?
How many years have you lived and accumulated energy? It is to the point where your son-in-law feels desolate and consumed by your presence.
“hmm.”
It’s not just that the amount of yoga is ridiculously large.
As a human, I sense a strange power that evokes a primal fear that is difficult to understand.
A little higher than the powerful named Rosilsk.
If so, then it means that it is on par with the dead, incomprehensible corpse.
···Level 11.
The gap between him and him was so great that it could not be filled with pure skill. It was like standing in front of the plum blossoms of the volcano during the peak of the martial arts world. The tingling went up through the soles of my feet and up to my ribs, making my body stiffen. Just pulling out the sword from its scabbard was enough to be praised for its incredible willpower.
Of course, I am confident that I can swing my sword even against a distant opponent. In fact, it is something that is very familiar to me and not new.
【Why do you trust the wise man? He is no longer human, so you would think he has some kind of intention.】
He doesn’t stutter anymore. Is he finally done with his anger?
“I couldn’t side with you, who are obviously a monster, so I sided with the wise man, who is less of a monster. Is there a problem?”
【 None. I have decided to kill you two here and now. 】
“Okay, do your best.”
Anyway, in order to kill that Gonma, the wise man and I have to rush in and kill him all at once. There won’t be many chances. Since the expedition members who are fighting against Sachuksan on the other side are falling down one by one, I focused my energy on my pupils that were about to break free.
Whoop—
I gasped for air as if my lungs were going to burst.
The internal energy containing the functions of the Wireless Earth God Energy spreads throughout the energy veins. The harmonious and pure internal energy is widely swept throughout the entire body. It is like awakening the microcosm of the human body through breathing.
Now, Gonma is exerting even stronger control over the wise men.
From the short conversation before, I could tell that the wise man and Gonma were old friends. However, when the wise man pulled out the demon and used magic, the creature became furious and seemed quite surprised by the unexpected situation. It was as if he was trying to have a useless conversation with me, who I used to treat like an insect.
Eventually, I could understand why.
“He came to retrieve the blood that the first being gave me. However, he was in a difficult position because he extracted the essence and put it in the ‘totem’.”
The wise man, who had been standing still with an unreadable expression for a moment, took a step forward and spoke. I was quite surprised to hear the general story, but nodded my head appropriately. So that was how it happened. It was a stroke of luck that I had the wise man’s branch with me.
At that moment, Gonma took a step forward and interrupted the sage’s words.
【 I heard that a guy who was preparing for war in Loki recently died. Everyone under his command died with him, so they all disappeared. For nearly 190 years, he was not satisfied with his position. He wanted to surpass the other elders and stand at the top······. 】
The bastard was unraveling the story of the incomprehensible, emaciated corpse. He was acting leisurely like a martial arts master telling a tale from long ago in front of his subordinates.
After all, the wise man was revived just before he died, and my current condition is not good either, so it was understandable.
【······Now that he has not been able to achieve anything in the war he had been waiting for so long, he must be very angry in the afterlife. You guys should follow him and appease him for eternity.】
soon.
Hooooooooooo—
The air flow changed abruptly with the arrogant Gonma’s words. The air he breathed in was filled with a faint ghostly scent.
“The blood given directly by the First Being has special powers and potential. It instills primal fear in both humans and corpses, and enhances some abilities to transcendence.”
The wise man spoke quickly as he prepared his magic. I also slowly finished preparing to join the attack and poured all my energy into Yongcheonhyeol.
“That Gonma can amplify the yoke and instantly explode the space it touches. If we were to compare it to an unmanned entity, it could condense a hundred years’ worth of internal energy into an instant and explode it at will. That gleaming film is also a yoke itself that has condensed the yoke to its limit, so it’s dangerous even if you touch it. I’ve been blocking it until now, but—”
“We don’t have much time, so let’s go quickly. A man is about faith and confidence.”
“······.”
Before the wise man’s words were even finished······
The sharp, honed beam of light flashed without hesitation.
Swaaaaaaah——!
I split the moment and linked the long, flowing lines of the island and the herbivore. The distance between me and Gonma was swept away, and the black breath that cut through the space reached Gonma’s Adam’s apple in one breath.
But, of course, it didn’t reach the end.
【 ···. 】
The red oil film of Gonma flashed for a moment, and then a huge amount of demonic energy was concentrated in front of his nose, lightly twisting the island’s herbivore. What he did was just a gesture. An existence that could destroy the sword of the Twelve Emperors at level 10 with a gesture was right before my eyes.
It’s like time has stopped.
My sword, which had been advancing without hesitation, stopped in front of me. The sword I had polished so far felt useless. From the very first moment, I became an infinitely small being.
Ah, the world is wide.
The strong have become commonplace.
Even if you risk your life and overcome countless death lines to develop your skills and abilities, you will inevitably encounter a far-off powerhouse like this. At that time, you must go back to the beginning and clash your heads. If you fight like that and lack courage, you will run away, and if you are unlucky, you will die. If you are lucky, you will live. If you are even lucky, you will gain enlightenment.
Crackle, crackle, crackle—!!!
The next moment, I felt my palms tear apart under the incredible pressure.
I think I might not be very lucky today.
However, I had a gut feeling and was certain at the same time.
If you’re lucky enough to survive, you can take a step forward. So for now, let’s be content with stealing the attention of the wise man.
“······.”
I filled my eyes with the unwavering aura of Gonma that was too difficult to even face. I could clearly feel the lack. I erased it cleanly from my mind without even having to weigh the odds. Because a vivid death awaits me beyond the wall that I cannot yet see.
Knock knock!
The yogic energy rushes in from both sides and weighs down on the body.
When I perceived with my transcendent senses the bastard’s strange and unexpected attack, I was left with only one option.
Kurururung—————!
The immense wind pressure. The sound of a hand being torn apart. A terrible killing intent. Nevertheless, he poured the turquoise magic and the power of the wireless earth god’s art into his hand and silently cut down the front.
······Oh Hyung-geom. Zhejiang Stream.
Hundreds of sword lights shot out following the thought. Without even knowing what I was cutting, I cut through the space where Gonma was like a ray of light. A sword that a madman had honed throughout his life, solely to kill his enemies and survive.
Even though the terrifying yogic energy clams down and blocks your breathing, your arms move without stopping. The qi waves that the sword light has forged spread out in all directions like tidal waves, continuously making dull, cracking sounds. The sword shards swirled around like a storm, shaking the very axis of the earth.
But that was only for a moment.
Pavabavat—
···The slick, dark red oil film bounced off the blade of the light. The sword light flew in all directions but did not hit, so this could not be considered a meaningful attack or defense. No matter how many times I cut, only a feeling of helplessness spread.
Phew!
Once the flow was lost, the light cut helplessly through the air. As the sword cut through the air, the oil film covering Gonma’s skin spread out as if it had been waiting, completely covering the view. Inside, the master, the volcanic ash, and the three stars of the empire were visible.
Surely, I can’t have already fallen into hell.
If that’s the case, then you must be seeing things because you’re on the verge of death.
Choaaaaaaah!
I drew a long line through the middle of the oil slick that was trying to cover me. However, I narrowed my eyes as my arms began to lose strength, as if I had already reached my limit. Inside the oil slick, the blue-green magic that had been pouring down over my head seemed to have stopped.
It only now dawns on me. Without the magical power that Ilehin Poycheka Matapju sends me, I am too exhausted to fight properly.
Followed by.
The body that sensed a vague power belatedly rang the alarm. Of course, it was too late to avoid it. It was fortunate that there was no need to worry about infection.
Crunch!
‘···.’
Gonma’s nails cut through his thigh and left arm. Blood gushed out at once. Since both were cut so deeply, his pulse might have been damaged.
I immediately threw myself sideways and rolled around. Rolling on the dirty floor, I swept the ground with a beam of light. Then a cloud of dust rose up and momentarily obscured my vision.
At that moment, the back of my neck felt tingly and I lifted the light up above my head.
Kaaaaaaang—!
A huge flame flew from the black sword. A crushing load was applied to my wrist. It was an attack that I had blocked intuitively.
The bastard was a monster that could kill a level 8 enemy from 10km away in one blow, and he was also capable of close combat. Several attacks followed, and I focused on protecting my neck.
Phew!
“······.”
A tentacle pierced through the short gap between the swords. When I raised my head, the tentacle that had been waving from the snout of the ogre was slipping through my shoulder and slipping out. Thanks to that, my entire shoulder felt hot as if it was on fire. When my arm didn’t move straight away, my movements were also halted.
You’re no match for me.
My breathing and concentration were momentarily disrupted.
Woof woof woof—!!!
The murderous intent of Gonma, which had risen to the tip of his head, was directed at me. I tried to jump up and escape Gonma’s grasp by using the Ihyeonghwanwi technique, but when I thought about it, my thigh had been deeply scratched just before. The half-assed Kyungshin method was caught up to by Gonma’s lightning-like speed.
A three-meter-tall shadow looms overhead. The creature’s torn mouth gapes open.
Oh my gosh!
A crumbling space.
A huge yogic energy exploded above my head, and I was hit in the back of the head by the force before I could fight back, and I was thrown to the ground. Even though I was wearing a self-defense ki, the yogic energy that had penetrated me made me feel so dizzy that I thought I would lose consciousness.
Yes, about 15 seconds after the battle started.
I sold one eye during combat for the first time.
The sage’s eyes were currently blurry and losing their clarity. He was preparing to use magic by drawing up some magical power, but even at a glance, the expression of the formula was slower than before.
Well, I guess it can’t be helped.
The light beam that had been so light is now starting to feel heavier. It’s hard to even lift a single sword properly, so it seems like I can’t even use the third style of the Oh-hyung sword, let alone the fourth style.
I spun around on the ground and swung my sword. Tentacles were thrust in all directions, and Gonma’s condensed yōki burst out, pushing his internal organs up into his throat. I held out for a few more seconds, waiting for the sage’s help, but unfortunately, nothing much happened after that.
Battles don’t always go as planned.
I don’t think I acted rashly, but if I die like this, should I blame the wise man who hesitated? Or should I blame myself for acting like I did in my previous life and coming to the brink of death?
I guess it’s the latter.
Thinking about it that way, I felt a strange sense of relief. Wasn’t I that kind of person all along?
Plus, suddenly, this thought occurs to me.
Am I supposed to just follow my master’s sword until I die?
This time too, and next time too?
If I do that, how embarrassing will the author, who is my teacher, be? People will laugh at me, saying that this idiot has not changed at all.
This is the third time he has died in the world of martial arts. In this life, he has a grand ambition to delay the destruction of the world by a few years, but how can a man die without keeping even one of those promises?
······The strength left my hands.
Before I die, let me swing it my way.
My head was filled with just that thought.
It wasn’t a profound realization, but rather a determination to use the sword as I pleased.
I have swung my sword countless times in my past lives. But to swing my sword at such an important moment without permission would be a shock to my teacher.
Still, I decided to do it.
In front of an insurmountable wall, what should I show off? The sword I have honed so far, or the me who has made up my mind?
It was something I didn’t know yet.
“······.”
I just swung the beam at the rushing Gonma.
Tsk tsk tsk-
