The Status Window Disappeared - Chapter 147
It’s hard to leave home (9)
Chris had no choice but to harden his complexion when he saw the White Dragon Master step forward.
As the teacher of the prefecture, he differs from his pupil in his attitude.
Looking at the side with his sword lightly in front, he didn’t feel the slightest gap.
Even if he can’t do it, he’s more powerful than the Kwon King.
If you compare it to the western continent, it would be in the middle rank among the six kings.
I didn’t think I would lose, but the problem is how much energy I consume.
His fight doesn’t end with defeating the White Dragon Master in front of him.
The assassination of the imperial family can be finished at this point, but if you want to escape with Ye-ryun, you must leave some extra energy.
When Chris showed signs of hesitation to attack, the opponent, who seemed to be on fire, came out first.
“What are you so worried about!”
With a light step, the distance between the two narrows in an instant.
Athlete stabs.
However, unlike the one Chris threw, it was a check ball that did not put weight on it.
The gesture that seemed to touch the opponent was very cold.
‘Strengthen the shield, hit the shield!’
Chris tried to counterattack using the skill of the Shield Knight, but the attack of the White Dragon Master was heavier than expected.
The gray-haired old man landed a heavy blow on Chris’ wrist even though his center of gravity wasn’t leaning forward.
It was a blow so strong that Chris, who never lowered his guard according to Gearic’s teachings, managed to receive it.
‘what? Isn’t that a posture that can put strength into an attack?’
When an attack that was completely different from the opponent’s posture flew in, Chris raised the tension.
The head of the white dragon poses like a turtle and strikes Chris again with a stabbing sword.
Contrary to his ridiculous posture, its power is slightly inferior to that of the King of Power.
Chris widens the distance by injecting strength into his already wobbly left arm.
Since he roughly knew the opponent’s skills, he was thinking of supplementing the buff, but the White Dragon Master wouldn’t allow it.
Attacking him again with a ghost-like footwork.
Chris had no choice but to raise his shield again and focus on defense.
Even though the opponent’s reach is longer, the distance between each other is kept like a knife, so there is hardly any chance to counterattack.
Chris gnawed his teeth at his naive and efficient tactics. At first, I compared him to King Kwon, but I couldn’t help but stick my tongue out at the skill of an old man who was quicker and cleverer than him.
The shield knight’s defense is said to be the best in the world, but if he continues on like this, he will get tired first.
However, the opponent is a master who can launch an attack of proper power in any posture.
If you only believe in the vitality of the status window and run recklessly, you will be severely punished.
He calmly prepared for the roar of the shield and organized his thoughts.
Unlike King of Kwon or King of Singer, who had some serious flaws, this opponent doesn’t seem to have any particular weakness.
If I had to compare it to the Six Kings, the Sword King is a man who seems to have weakened a bit.
Because he is a well-balanced and talented person, he is not compatible with Chris, who finds loopholes and stabs them.
But if you don’t have any weaknesses, you can create them.
Chris decided to boldly use the card he had prepared before fighting the White Dragon Master.
When he activates the roar of the shield, a huge amount of magical energy forms on the blade of the demonic sword.
The White Dragon Master, noticing the unusual appearance, hardens his complexion and prepares for defense.
“Hmm? This… … .”
‘The roar of the shield!’
The storm that came out of Chris’s swordplay ran without hesitation.
The White Dragon Master, who was preparing for the shock, flinched when he saw the direction of his attack.
Chris’ blow wasn’t aimed at him from the start.
The destination of the ferocious roar is the place where Hyeoncheong, a disciple of the Baekryongmonju, has collapsed.
‘Now, I have to save my disciple!’
Hyeoncheong, who was defeated by Chris, cannot block or avoid the roar of the shield.
Even the White Dragon Master would be shaken if his apprentice was attacked.
Chris deliberately left the prefecture alive to induce his sacrifice.
But, contrary to his expectations, isn’t the master of the White Dragon throwing away his pupil and rushing at Chris?
Thanks to this, the neglected prefectural office was torn apart without even being able to properly scream.
The heartless White Dragon Master pressed Chris without even looking back at the shattered corpse of his disciple.
Confused by the unexpected action, Chris’ posture begins to shake dangerously.
The White Dragon Master, who had a clear advantage, glared at him and muttered.
“A coward, aiming at Hyeoncheong, who was defenseless, to kill me… … .”
“No, could you save me?”
Chris, who was gritting his teeth and resisting, finally said something, and he laughed.
In fact, it seemed that the collapsed prefectural office had nothing to do with it.
“Sounds stupid… The disciple has to grow again. But if I die, White Dragon Gate will end as it is. There is no need for a disciple to hold on to the teacher’s ankles. At a time like this, isn’t it the duty of a disciple to be willing to sacrifice for the master?”
“Then don’t say anything to me!”
Chris, who could not stand his attack, shouted ferociously and lowered his shield.
The sword of the White Dragon Master, who had been stabbing nonstop, pierced his shoulder.
Embarrassed by the opponent’s strange behavior, the head of the White Dragon Gate took a defensive stance in preparation for the subsequent counterattack.
‘Suddenly lowering the shield. Are you going to try it at least?’
However, Chris pretended to counterattack and swung his sword, then rolled to the side and started to escape.
The wounds inflicted by the White Dragon Master heal in an instant by the vitality of the status window.
The shield that was dropped when hit on the shoulder is also summoned and equipped again as soon as he gets up.
Thanks to that, Chris’ condition is no different from before.
“You serpentine bastard!”
The White Dragon Master, who witnessed the escape as if she was shedding her skin, started pursuing.
I was a little flustered and missed it a while ago, but since I found out that the opponent has an abnormal regenerative ability, there is no next time.
If it regenerates, attack more and be vigilant.
Chris, who was running away from the excited White Dragon Master, soon arrived at the place where he had annihilated the priests of Suzaku.
When he stopped escaping, the White Dragon Master approached leisurely, looking around at the corpses scattered everywhere.
“What are you going to do by running away here? Would you like to show off your knack for reviving corpses?”
“No, I just want to use some epic items.”
When Chris, who decided to take the risk, swung the demonic sword, the surrounding blood began to gather in an instant.
Because of the battle with the priests, this place is literally a bloodbath.
Being wary of the ominous demonic sword, the head of the White Dragon Gate calmed down his slightly rough breathing.
In the meantime, blood-colored crystals created by the magic sword’s ability fly towards him.
He straightened his longsword and swung it quickly, cutting them off one by one.
Compared to the time I fought Helyuon, I said there wasn’t enough blood, but to block all the crystals that could have been dozens.
Baekryongmunju’s swordplay was flamboyant, reminiscent of the sword screen in martial arts.
Chris, whose gaze was taken by the unbelievable sight, quickly activated the skill before the sword’s power ran out.
To be honest, I didn’t think he was a guy that could be defeated with Origin Epic’s ability alone.
“Class change, berserker. Big run!”
The mana of the whole body boiled violently, and blood flowed from the chil-gong.
Thanks to the armor of absorption, the purified energy is once again formed on the sword and resonates.
The head of the White Dragon Gate, who had experienced the roar of the shield earlier, jumped at him risking the crystal of blood to be embedded in his body.
However, the brawn strengthened by the massive rush easily shook off his pursuit.
‘The rush of the knight, the roar of the shield!’
Chris, who had retreated with a momentum that seemed to rip the soil beneath his feet, soon secured an appropriate distance and delivered a trumpeting blow.
The White Dragon Master, who has fallen within the scope of the technique, is caught up in the storm that immediately follows and is thrown violently.
It seems that he somehow escaped death, but with the strength remaining after blocking the blood crystal, he could not withstand the roar of the shield.
Chris, exhausted from the unexpected fierce battle, took a heavy step.
The Baekryongmonju, who was barely breathing while lying on the floor, opened her mouth as if to say something to him.
Chris didn’t hear it properly and slammed the demonic sword into the defenseless old man’s chest.
The demonic sword, which has been devoured again, presents a terrifying sensation and makes a ravenous sound.
When Chris, who was sitting on the ground, let go of it for a moment, the demonic sword flew into his wrist after eating.
He gritted his teeth in excruciating pain, not expecting that the creature would now strike him in the head.
After drinking enough of his master’s blood, the guy slipped out of his wrist and returned to his hand.
Chris, who hurriedly opened the status window to check his magic power and vitality, muttered something dumbfounded.
“You bastard, did you suck very well?”
Almost all of the vitality and mana that I had been waiting for was sucked away.
Now Chris really has only a fingernail of strength left.
After staring at the magic sword for a while, he trudged to the prison of the imperial palace.
The prison he visited for a meeting with Ye-ryun was empty due to a fire.
Almost all of the prison guards seem to have been mobilized to put out the fire, and only a minimum number of guards remain.
Chris used what little mana he had left to deal with them and headed to the training cell.
Prisoners who witnessed the flames and smoke clamored from both sides, but he was exhausted and did not even look at him properly.
Ye-ryun, who was confined in the innermost cell of the prison, opened her eyes wide when she saw Chris covered in blood.
Her body, which had maintained aloofness despite the sudden fire, clung to the wooden bars.
“Chris! I hope that fire… … .”
“Let’s go out quickly. I don’t have much time.”
Less important explanations can be done later.
Chris hurried her as she watched the flames fade.
The one who was imprisoned was Ye-ryun, but Chris stumbled uneasy not long after he started to escape.
Sensation as if stones were hanging all over the body. Symptoms of severe magical power depletion overtook him a step later.
“Wow, it’s been such a long time.”
“my… Let me help you.”
Ye-ryun, who was about the same height as Chris, hurriedly supported him.
She was a prisoner of imperial status, so she did not wear prisoner’s clothes, and she was not branded on her forehead.
For the two of them, who have to avoid the eyes of others, it’s a lot of luck.
Taking advantage of the chaos that still lingered, the two escaped from the palace and soon entered a crowded city.
The people of the Qin Empire were very embarrassed by the unprecedented burning of the imperial palace.
“What kind of fire is there in the imperial palace? Where did the enemies come from?”
“I’d better run away right now. Everyone, just take your valuables and come out.”
“Citizens of the Qin Empire, go home safely! That fire was a mere accident!”
People who were anxious, people who were trying to run away, and people who were trying to calm them were mixing to add to the confusion.
Chris and Ye-ryun avoided people’s eyes and moved toward the port.
With his eyes closed, he spoke in a voice that seemed to be forcibly squeezed.
“I ordered the shaman and the maid to somehow save the ship. Running away by land is suicidal… It would be better to go to sea. They are probably waiting for us at the port.”
“Ah, I get it. Chris. Come to your senses.”
Chris, who was walking with Ye-ryun’s support, managed to arrive at the port.
There must be soldiers of the empire all over the city right now, but it’s different to reach here. This could only be called luck.
While carefully examining their surroundings, the head maid and the shaman come into view.
“Yes, Ye-ryun! It is this way! We found a merchant ship leaving for the western continent! Because the caravan that delivered the letter the other day offered a room… … .”
“what? Not some kind of fishing boat, but a huge merchant ship?”
Chris, doubting their luck, asked back in disbelief.
However, Ye-ryun follows the two with a very calm expression.
A reaction as if he knew it would happen.
I’m playing surprise, but I’m not so desperate.
The head maid and the shaman, who were guiding the way from the front, didn’t seem to notice it, and made their way through the crowd, carefully examining their surroundings.
Ye-ryun, who was supporting Chris, noticed his questionable expression and smiled faintly, and gently placed her index finger on Chris’ lips.
