Episode 92
“Is there any chance of winning?”
The teacher also got up from his seat, probably overhearing our conversation.
It’s not easy to overcome feelings of self-destruction in a short period of time, but it seems like I’ve regained my composure.
“Seren has an ace up her sleeve. “I don’t know if it will work for a priest, but since I don’t have any other sharp swords, I’ll have to try walking.”
“Then I will go to the front. “You protect Seren.”
“Let’s do that.”
Immediately after Junian nodded, dozens of demons roaming the sky descended at the same time.
Oh oh oh oh!
The forest trembles.
I felt pressured, as if dozens of reapers were attacking me at the same time to take my life.
It’s true that I was overwhelmed.
But I wasn’t scared.
As was the case in the Gem Mountains, no matter how many enemies there are, the number of entities that can attack at the same time is limited.
Coo!
The moment the rock-sized objects fell at the same time, the ground shook from the impact.
Junian threw himself into the group of black demons without hesitation.
He voluntarily threw himself into the most dangerous battlefield.
Kwazizig!
Junian’s weapon was the Morning Star, which had a brutal appearance with sharp spikes studded like thorns on its round head.
Swinging such a vicious weapon with his monstrous body, Junian’s body was soon drenched in the devil’s blood.
‘Eek.’
Huh, I narrowly avoided the devil’s fist.
This is not the time to leisurely look around.
I also responded to BEAST’s offensive with full force, but I soon felt that this was not enough.
‘… Did you say that devils have nothing in common?’
Advice that Sanghyeolgong once gave me.
I know what that means after fighting for myself.
Most of the Beasts looked similar except for their size, but their personalities were different.
Some people just rely on their instincts.
Some people slyly saw an opportunity.
Even though it was surrounded by several snakes, one attacked with only the snake’s tail, while the other was thinking of striking with its horns.
There was also a guy who breathed fire without caring about the death of his fellow demons.
‘It’s a pain in the ass.’
In such a situation, not only do you have to kill the demon, but you also have to protect Seren, so even two bodies are not enough.
There is a lack of means.
‘What’s left to me other than the eclipse… … .’
This is the moment to consider various methods.
[Unsheath your sword.]
Suddenly, Musin spoke.
He is the type of person who only wakes up at truly unpredictable moments.
‘My main focus is fighting, not swordsmanship.’
It’s not that he doesn’t have expertise in swordsmanship, but in the current situation, it’s an obvious handshake.
The only way I can survive is because I’m using a familiar sword, wouldn’t I have been dead a long time ago if I had used a sword in the first place?
[I know.]
‘And you still want me to pick you?’
[That’s right. In the first place, I never said a word about not using the eclipse.]
I said, feeling a little dizzy.
‘That means… … .’
[Use both eclipse and swordsmanship.]
I burst out laughing at the ridiculous price.
‘It’s unfortunate, Lord Musin. ‘My level is not high enough to use two martial arts at the same time.’
In order to develop different martial arts skills at the same time, you must realize the trick of dividing one’s mind into another.
The teacher said that using distraction is a technique that cannot be learned through simple training, and that a certain degree of innate nature is also important.
[I didn’t say to deploy them simultaneously.]
‘It’s time to play with words… … .’
[Speaker, whether this is advice or just a list of words depends on your mindset.]
‘… … .’
[The important thing is the speed of switching between different martial arts. For example, if you can quickly switch between swordsmanship and martial arts in less than a split second, at first glance, it will look like you are practicing two martial arts at the same time.]
What kind of bullshit is that?
If it weren’t for this situation, I might have been so sarcastic.
Am I crazy, or is it because of this situation? Strangely enough, it felt like there was some truth to what Musin said.
And I was the type of person who had the temperament to do something if I wanted to.
Sreung!
The Seven Deadly Sins Sword was pulled out like lightning.
‘… ‘Hundred eclipses in the right hand and swordsmanship in the left.’
Swinging a sword with my left arm is something I am used to.
In my life before the retrograde, I was sharpening my sword as a left-hander when the tendon in my right arm was severed.

‘It’s not unfolding at the same time, but it’s a quick transition that feels like it… … .’
I slowly pondered Musin’s words.
Fortunately, my concentration was sharp in extreme situations.
I felt like I knew what Mushin meant by [rapid transition].
‘Let’s share our concentration.’
You cannot allocate equal concentration to both martial arts.
Proportionally, 7 for swordsmanship.
It is correct to use around 3 for an eclipse.
Baek Il-sik is the martial art I am most familiar with and confident in.
You have trained it to the point where you can use it even when you wake up from your sleep, so there is no need to obsess over it more than necessary.
Next, I thought about what kind of sword technique I would use with my left hand.
The first thing I used was a sword technique that I often used during my mercenary days.
This third-rate sword technique, which doesn’t even have a name, was an improvement on the family’s secret sword technique that I learned when I was young so that I could use it with my left hand.
In fact, there were many awkward aspects in unfolding it now.
It may be okay if it is a low-level monster, but it is not enough to deal with demons.
‘… … .’
The sight that flashed through my mind at that moment was the end of a sheer cliff.
A mud monster suddenly appears.
A boy walking calmly towards them.
What soon unfolded was a deadly swordsmanship that pursued only efficiency.
I immediately remembered the swordsmanship demonstrated by Cheolhyeolgong and opened it with my hands.
[Ho… … .]
The most important thing in this nameless swordsmanship is the mindset for a deadly attack.
You do not kill the enemy with one blow or two strikes.
It’s half a breath.
You can attack as many times as you want during that time, but you must kill it within half a breath.
If there is even one setback, the devil who is still alive will inflict fatal wounds on me.
‘… ‘It’s a mad swordsmanship.’
His swordsmanship showed his confidence that he could surely finish off any enemy within half a breath.
In many ways, the swordsmanship is too much for my body.
If this continues, I will fall first before all the demons are killed.
‘What next?’
I used a third-rate sword technique from my mercenary days.
I also used the Great Demon sword technique demonstrated by Sanghyeolgong.
So what’s left for me now?
‘-ah.’
The next thing that came to mind was the martial arts and symbol of the Unknown King that Musin showed at the altar of the Forgotten God.
Galaxy Sword Silver River Sword.
If only I could imitate that divine power.
[…] … .]
There is a saying that ignorance is medicine.
That was my case now.
Perhaps, if he truly understood the secrets of the Galaxy Sword, he would not have dared to use it with the Hundred Illusions.
Because it was a swordsmanship that looked over your shoulder,
Because it’s just a clumsy imitation.
Thanks to that, I was able to at least imitate the Galaxy Sword.
And then I had a strange moment.
It’s such a melee.
The transition between martial arts could not be natural at every moment.
Occasionally, I would strike the demon with my fist holding the sword and unfold the galaxy sword with my hand raised like a blade.
At this moment, for some reason, I didn’t feel the difference between swordsmanship and martial arts.
I realized that depending on how I set my mind to it, I could use the Galaxy Sword with my bare hands and the Hundred Eclipse with my sword.
So then, what exactly is the difference between swordsmanship and boxing as martial arts?
‘knife.’
I saw the Seven Deadly Sins Sword.
The sword is definitely comfortable.
Basically, it is harder than the body, has a shape specialized for attacks, and has a long range.
‘flesh.’
However, the physical body is not without its own advantages.
Of course, it is much more flexible than a fixed sword, and there are many ways to respond.
There was also the point that, unlike a sword, any abnormality could be identified as soon as it occurred.
‘then… … .’
The second half of the 100-day eclipse may have been unnecessary from the beginning.
Then why did the teacher tell me that Baek Il Sik is only half a martial art?
‘Because you don’t want Baek Il Sik to be my only martial artist?’
This is just a guess on my part, but perhaps he was concerned that this martial arts skill would become my breaking point?
[A single tree born in chlorine fire. There is nothing lacking to aim for Red Heaven.]
Mushin said in a voice filled with laughter.
[Congratulations on entering the Galaxy Sword, Yeonja.]
* * *
The body is hot.
Certainly, both White Eclipse and Galaxy Sword are martial arts of upward mobility, so playing them alternately is not an easy task.
To tell you the truth.
Such physical overload was to some extent desired.
The body, which was moving beyond its limits, creaked as if it would break at any moment, but on the contrary, it gradually became hotter.
The conditions are gradually changing to become optimal for using the chlorinated first ball.
The moment I felt nothing but heat in my body, I even momentarily forgot the influence of the instrument… … .
Finally, we entered White Fire.
Puhwaak!
I cut two beasts apart with my hand blade.
It wasn’t as clean as when a sword was used, so the cross sections of these guys’ wounds looked like they had been torn apart.
It’s hard to explain in words what my condition is like right now.
Generally, when you enter a state of whitening, fatigue and pain disappear, and their place is filled with a sense of elation.
Right now, I still feel dizzy and nauseous.
It seems that the evil god’s curse cannot be overcome even with white flowers.
Woooooooo-.
An uncomfortable crying sound was heard at that moment.
‘Banshee?’
The cries of the low-level demon that Hector spoke of suddenly turned into screams.
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The moment the tearing scream reached my ears, my body became slightly sluggish.
Does it dull the body rather than a direct attack?
Wow!
‘cancellation.’
That wasn’t all.
Then the banshee’s long tongue pierced me like a spear.
I dodged the attack, and then grabbed my tongue as I was throwing it away.
The tongue was strong, so even though I pulled it pretty hard, it didn’t tear and the banshee’s body followed along.
I turned the banshee’s body like a windmill and drove away the surrounding beasts.
It wasn’t easy because I had to be careful not to affect Seren.
‘little bit more-.’
The number of demons had decreased noticeably.
I don’t have time to look, but I can hear the sound of flesh being crushed every now and then, so I see that Junian is still alive.
Actually, I was quite surprised at myself.
Aside from yelling, I didn’t know I could fight to this extent.
Is this really important?
I don’t intend to disparage the training at Yeongsan, but if I had stayed there all the time, it would have taken me several years to realize this principle.
‘but… … .’
My body was slowly but clearly reaching its limit.
How much longer can I endure?
The mastermind, the priest, hasn’t even joined yet…
“… … !”
At that moment, a demon was spotted approaching Seren from behind.
Seren was concentrating to the point where she was sweating in this cold weather, so she didn’t seem to notice the approach.
I hurriedly threw the Seven Deadly Swords.
Sigh!
The sword pierced the devil’s head, killing him instantly.
The absence of a sword instantly destroyed the previously close battle situation.
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Have the devils realized that now is a golden opportunity?
A group of banshees, looking for an opportunity in the sky, screamed as if in a chorus.
Then, the body did not stop at becoming dull.
Suddenly, the body stopped moving for an instant.
Tsuzzzz!
And a pitch-black storm raged from the palms of the priests who had been watching until now.
I gritted my molars as if they were going to break and forced myself to move, but I was one step too late.
Squeak-.
Pain that comes like a wave.
An emptiness I’ve never experienced before
Clap.
I saw parts of what had once been my body fall to the ground.
Right arm was cut off.
