Genius Gamer, Reincarnated into a Heroic Family Chapter 287

Demon Noble Brechakin (4)

Harang’s eyes turned silver, and along with it, the color of his golden lower sword instantly turned black.

Complete darkness. As if looking at the night sky, a cluster of pure white stars falls from the top of the black surface that has lost its light.

Taniya’s eyes widened at the mysterious beauty, as if she was looking at the Milky Way in the sky.

I’ve seen him use the lower sword quite often while hanging out with him, but this is the first time I’ve seen it in that color.

Hurrah!

The white flames shooting out from the lower body of the sword had a pitch-black part that looked like a shadow.

Harmony of black and white.

[Kaladan Dragon Sword Type 0]

[Flame Stance]

The basic stance, without using any sword techniques, but with the flames of the dragon’s tongue wrapped around the sword. This was something that was impossible for Harang in the past. This was because it was only possible to wrap the dragon’s tongue around during the brief moment when using the sword technique.

But quite some time has passed, and his sword has also made considerable progress.

That damn thing… … !!

As I walked forward with my sword hanging down, a sharp afterimage remained even though the sword had not touched the ground.

Crunch! Crunch!

In addition, the weight that came from somewhere, the sharp cut felt as if it was crushed. It was as if there was something with tremendous weight.

-Interesting. The power of Kalantatis, the dragon’s tongue.

The Demon Count Brechakin also walked slowly towards Harang. He twisted his right arm and slowly released his black magic, causing the space to distort like a haze on an asphalt road in the hot summer.

It was unlike any demon I had ever encountered before. Most demons had the ability to pollute the air and corrupt life, but this demon’s influence was confined to the confines of space.

In fact, it would be fair to say that the entire land on which the expedition team stands is already a space contaminated by Brechakin’s dark magic.

But he is influencing the world in a different way.

‘Is that so…?’

Harang felt awkward even with the flow of air that brushed her cheek.

Since I was able to freely move through space, the entire interior of this ruins ruled by Brechakin felt like it was entangled in a giant spider web.

The being at the end of that spider web is the Brechakin before your eyes.

If he wanted to, he could attack Harang’s neck from a distance of several tens of meters.

Of course, it won’t be easy to get hit. Even if it can’t sense the flow of space, an 8-star drone will be able to sense the attack, and a 9-star drone will be able to sense the trajectory of space with its sixth sense.

Harang was an 8-star inspector, but thanks to his complete understanding of this space, he was able to clearly understand even Brechakin’s intentions.

However, that does not mean it is advantageous.

Knowing where your opponent is going to shoot his arrows doesn’t give you an advantage in that situation.

I think it would be more correct to say that it has become ‘a little less disadvantageous’.

Harang knew how to turn the disadvantages here into something more advantageous for himself.

“… …Cardion.”

As Harang recited, a purple shape appeared in the air.

Originally as small as a human face, Cardion, the spirit of chaos, was now much larger than Harang.

As soon as he appeared, he suddenly started showing off his muscular body and striking a pose, but then realized that the atmosphere was serious and crossed his arms.

-Hmm, a demon noble. This is my first time seeing him in person, but he’s quite an interesting opponent!

-What the heck, you? You think you can even command the spirit of chaos?

-Oh, what is this? Did you embed your soul in a sword? Hehe. You always do strange things!

Celine couldn’t help but be astonished.

Elementalism is a realm of pure talent.

Even the great Kaladan was only able to share affinity with spirits, and did not form a contract with any spirit.

But, making a contract with a spirit?

And it wasn’t even an ordinary spirit, it was a ‘spirit of chaos’ that was almost like a spirit king!

Cardion, who is known to be a fearsome being who could easily destroy a country if he were to regain all of his original power and who even the Spirit King cannot control, has made a contract with Harang…

“Take control.”

As Harang began to hum, Cardion took a deep breath.

Phew! I blew a strong blast of wind, and in an instant, invisible waves covered the entire area.

[Region of Chaos]

The colors of the world have been reversed.

The red sky turns blue, the black earth turns white.

-This is… … !

Count Brechakin, who was about to raise his hand, quickly extended his hand as he realized that his senses were tangled.

Tsk tsk! The space was torn and Harang’s neck was about to be cut off, but Harang didn’t even move. 

The spatial cut occurred far from Harang!

-Disturbing the senses… …But in this way, even the caster won’t be safe, right?

When Brechakin said that, Cardion chuckled.

-Everyone who has been affected by this technique says the same thing! Of course, that includes me!

As Cardion said, Harang took a step forward as if he was not affected by the disturbance of his senses.

[Transcending the Sixth Sense]

Black and white flames bloom from his eyes.

Synchronization rate… … 75%

The world has become distorted. 

In the vast space, only Brechakin’s presence was felt.

As if time had slowed down, Harang slowly exhaled and gripped the lower sword in the hazy wind.

-Is this all the power you have…?

Celine couldn’t help but be quite surprised. Until the last time she possessed Taniya’s body and confronted him, she had thought she was making a fool of him.

It was a mistake. If Harang Paul Caladan had put his mind to it, if he had been sincere, he would not have been able to use his magic powers against someone like himself.

The reason he fought with the sword on equal footing was because he purely wanted to learn swordsmanship from the swordsman named Celain!

When that realization came to her, a shiver ran through Celine.

How could he have been so powerful at such a young age, yet still constantly seek instruction and enlightenment?

[Kaladan Dragon Sword 3rd Form] 

[Taecheonhwaryongbi (Great Heavenly Fire Dragon Flying)]

Hwaruk! A black and white dragon of flames appeared riding on Harang’s lower sword. Previously, a huge dragon had been swinging forward and destroying the area, but now its form has changed.

Compressed size to concentrate destructive power! 

[Compression]

Dduk dduk!!

Harang’s sword trembled as if it would fall under the overwhelming weight, but his expression did not change.

As I lightly lifted myself up as if I was waving a fan and leaped forward, the black and white dragon coiled around the lower sword opened its mouth wide.

[One-wheeled strike]

-this!

Brechakin clapped his hands together and clicked his tongue at the terrifying amount of magical power.

Jeez! The space between Harang and Brechakin widened, but Harang ran faster than that.

‘You’re coming this fast while holding that weight…?! That’s ridiculous!’

No, that wasn’t it. Looking closely, Harang couldn’t maintain that fast of a pace. Rather, the ground was so heavy that it seemed to cave in with each step he took, so he was slower than just walking.

But why does it feel so fast? It was simple.

‘He’s using my space!’

This site, also known as the Kaladan Legacy, was founded over a thousand years ago, but is now entirely Brechakin’s domain, completely consumed by the dark magic he controls and completely under his thumb.

That is, no matter who comes from the world, they cannot interfere with or use Brechakin’s space.

That was common sense.

‘Could it be… … that he had dyed some of the spaces controlled by the Spirit of Chaos with his own magic?’

Brechakin, who had come to that realization, decided that he could no longer create space between himself and Harang, so he hit the floor with all his might.

Crack! The earth splits. To be exact, the space that appeared to be the ‘shape of the earth’ was torn to the sides, and a new field was created underneath.

A world turned upside down. 

Brechakin’s body crashed into the middle of a ruined castle, covered in dense jungle.

‘Once he gets out of the realm of chaos, he can’t do such things!’

With that thought in mind, I landed on a castle covered in jungle, but the colors of the world were still reversed.

-How… …Ugh!

Brechakin hurriedly drew up his black magic as the terrifying weight fell on his head.

He tried to twist the space in the middle, but even faster than that, a black and white dragon came through the gap and struck him all over his body!

Kwah-!!

As if a meteor had fallen, the castle collapsed with a tremendous noise.

‘… … !!’

Brechakin couldn’t even scream. The power to split the castle in half with a single blow! Normal 8-star knights couldn’t produce such an attack power. The Kaladan in front of him possessed some kind of abnormal power.

‘Why does the realm of chaos never end… … .’

Brechakin, who had fallen to the ground along with the collapsed castle with both arms completely shattered, only then realized.

The fact that the realm of chaos is moving with Harang.

-Ma, that’s ridiculous… … .

Usually, magic that controls an area with magical power cannot be moved around arbitrarily. People imagine that kind of magic in the form of a barrier is similar to a plate or bowl, but that is not the case.

The boundary area was made up of densely engraved magical lines and dots on a three-dimensional coordinate system, but it was absolutely impossible to move it sideways like pushing a bowl.

Because moving just 1cm required recalculating the coordinate system of all the barriers!

If that were possible, Brechakin’s abilities would have been the best, and he wouldn’t have been defeated by Celain in the battle hundreds of years ago!

-How… how is that possible!

As Brechakin shouted, Harang’s second blow struck the ground.

Kookbang!! The earth shattered again and another space appeared.

Red rock buildings with monkey patterns carved all over them began to rise from between the collapsed cracks of the ruins! 

Useless information was leaked into Harang’s [Satbyeol-an]. It was ridiculous information such as that those buildings were traces of the ancient civilization of Sewon, where monkeys lived in another dimension.

He quickly tried to deliver a third strike after clearing away the system message, but was forced to take a step back as the world was covered in red monkey buildings.

Hwaruk… … !

In the meantime, the dragon sword went out. His maximum limit was three consecutive strikes, and time was running out before he could land the final blow.

‘Not good.’

Harang frowned and used divine power to heal the muscles in his right arm.

His muscles were badly damaged from swinging a sword that weighed as much as a small building.

It is never a good idea to use divine power to restore muscle, but it is inevitable given the urgent situation.

Crackle!!

[Kaladan Dragon Sword Type 0]

[Lightning stance]

This time, the lower sword was imbued with black and white lightning. If flames were destructive, lightning possessed the property of overwhelming penetrative power.

In addition, his movements became more agile, so from now on he was able to move at a faster speed.

After kicking the floor, Harang, who was stuck on the side of the rising red building, searched the surroundings with the help of Saetbyeol.

Even as dozens of buildings rose, Harang’s eyes spread out like a 4D map of the space like radar, completely capturing every space without any gaps.

Wince!

“… … !!”

At that moment, I suddenly felt an unpleasant and strange sensation as if my neck was being cut off, so I hurriedly lowered my head and the space behind my head was torn in half.

‘Have you overcome the chaos…?’

No one has ever demonstrated such detailed attacks in the Realm of Chaos. Not even the Ancients could fully exert their power in the Realm of Chaos.

But, such detailed spatial manipulation in a place that cannot even be seen with the naked eye. It was an incredibly great technique.

Dismissal! Then, as the second space cut rushed towards Harang’s waist, Harang kicked off the side of the building and jumped.

Brechakin couldn’t keep up with Harang’s speed as he leaped forward at a speed like a ray of light, scattering black and white lightning bolts.

No matter how much concentration I had used to overcome the chaos, it was impossible to capture an opponent moving so quickly.

-This guy… …he knows my condition exactly.

Brechakin, who was hiding somewhere in the red building, gritted his teeth and sweated profusely.

I aimed for the bastard’s neck with maximum concentration. 

Of course, I expected to avoid it. However, I thought the Realm of Chaos had lost its meaning and wanted to collect it, but Harang had no intention of doing so at all.

I realized that I could barely use the technique through extreme concentration.

‘That area must be consuming a tremendous amount of magical power right now. It won’t be able to sustain itself for long.’

In contrast, Brechakin was increasingly adapting to the chaos.

‘I can now protect a 1m radius around me with spatial distortion.’

Even though the battle had only been going on for five minutes, Brechakin was adapting with incredible speed.

It seemed obvious that if just a little more time was given, the situation would turn in Brechakin’s favor.

‘But before that, he’ll make a move.’

Brechakin cut through the space and moved to the top of the building right next to it.

Thud! Immediately afterwards, the spot where Brechakin had originally stood was pierced by a black and white lightning bolt, and the entire building was destroyed.

Harang appears from behind.

‘Those damn eyes! No matter where I’m hiding, they pinpoint my exact location. I can’t hide or run away.’

I wish I could buy a little more time, but that’s not possible.

Even in terms of sheer speed, Harang is faster than him. He could use his ability to leap through space, but he showed a terrifying ability to chase after him even through the space passage he used.

‘… … If that’s the case, there is only one way.’

Brechakin cupped his hands in a circle. Harang took a stance to attack before he could do anything, but the phenomenon happened even faster than that.

“This is… … .”

-Hey, I’m seeing this again?

– Hehe, you’re doing something interesting!

Chelain and Cardion each spoke a word. The phenomenon unfolding before their eyes was truly mysterious and strange, to the point that even the warrior’s companions and the spirits of chaos were amazed.

Guuuungug… … !!

Space becomes distorted. It becomes round and blurry, as if the world were reflected through a convex lens.

Harang couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, feeling as if she was looking at the world through a magnifying glass. She never thought that she could manipulate space to this extent.

-Did you really think that the Devil Count was only that bad?

“… … It’s a little surprising.”

It’s not just the distortion that’s happening. Near the edge of the distorted convex lens, another world is starting to pop out!

Towards the top, an active volcano spewed forth red magma, below, a sandy beach with sharp shards of glass whirling like a storm, to the east, a tidal wave that froze everything it touched, and to the west, a bundle of sharp tentacles made of shadow rose up.

Brechakin, with his arms spread out in the middle, had his red eyes narrowed.

-I won’t be treated the same way as before.

-oh…….

Seeing that sight, Celine covered her mouth and let out a small gasp of surprise.

-I guess he must have trained a lot since what happened to him 500 years ago. He’s completely flawless now.

In short, it can be said that the reason why the current Brechakin has become stronger is because of Chelain.

But as if it didn’t matter, Harang aimed the black and white lightning sword at Ha-won.

“That’s a blessing.”

-huh?

When Harang, who she thought would resent her, suddenly expressed gratitude, Chelain thought she was being sarcastic.

But that wasn’t the case. He’s not the type of person to use sarcastic language. 

And look at that expression on his face. 

That face, filled with excitement, was not a sarcastic remark, but a look of genuine gratitude.

‘Technology may have become more advanced than it was 500 years ago, but black magic is still far behind.’

In other words, it became a pure skill battle between Harang and Brechakin, who were confident in their skills but had not yet fully grown as unmanned units.

Harang was full of anger, but he could never have such an exciting duel anywhere else, so he showed his burning competitive spirit.

“How much has changed since 500 years ago… … I will receive it directly with my sword.”
