Absolute Necromancer Chapter 388

Episode 388

Scratch!

“… … Ugh.”

Jinhyuk frowned at the sharp pain that arose as the two wounds were added together.

It was difficult to dodge the first attack, the second, and the third attacks as well.

Jinhyeok gritted his teeth as he rolled on the floor repeatedly, figuring out the speed and trajectory of the sword strike.

‘If you just used battle foresight, you could dodge with some ease. If you shot continuously, you could just barely dodge. It’s terrible, it’s terrible.’

Because it was so obvious what Ryu Hwan’s purpose was.

But even if he knew what the purpose was, there was nothing Jinhyuk could do about it.

To use battle foresight, you need a goblin mask, but that was in Ryu Hwan’s hands.

“You are going too far.”

“what?”

“You are asking me to do something I cannot do.”

No matter how much Jinhyeok monopolized it, he couldn’t do something he couldn’t do.

Assuming there is no outside help.

Ryu Hwan responded with a sly laugh to such a blunt answer.

“I don’t think that’s something a guy who has survived by only doing impossible things should say.”

“… … It wasn’t just me who did this. In reality, surviving isn’t a victory either.”

“Yes, survival is not necessarily victory. But even that is not an exaggeration to say that it is impossible. If you have done that, you can do this too.”

“Do you see that potential in me?”

Making the impossible possible.

Born with normal human eyes, but convinced that he could see the world of battle vision and beyond.

Jinhyeok was secretly delighted, thinking that Ryu Hwan had seen that potential in him, but-

“I don’t know.”

“……yes?”

“I don’t know. How would I know if you have eyes like me or that guy? Even the high-ranking gods of time wouldn’t know that.”

“No, then why are you making me do such ridiculous things?”

Unfortunately, Ryu Hwan did not have such confidence.

At that fact, Jinhyeok felt his pulse drop and a sense of absurdity rise up at the same time, but Ryu Hwan remained calm.

“People are supposed to learn on their own if they don’t want to fall behind. Judging from the way you avoided it, I think you’ll get the feel of it after doing it a few more times.”

“… … What happens if you can’t avoid it?”

“You underestimate me. I think you can do it.”

“If. If only.”

Jinhyuk did not give up on the slim hope he had in his hands as Ryu Hwan clenched his fists and told him to cheer up with a completely untrustworthy face.

Just in case.

A question I asked because I wondered if Ryu-Hwan would be able to extinguish the sword attack even if there was a one in ten million chance that I would not be able to avoid it.

Thanks to that question, Jinhyuk was able to understand better.

“What can I do? If I’m unlucky, I’ll die, and if I’m unlucky, I’ll lose an arm. Oh, and you know how to use divine powers, too? If you just put them on roughly and go to Walpurgis, he’ll be able to heal the lost arms and legs.”

“…….”

It means that the only one who can protect your life is yourself.

Jinhyeok strained his eyes as he watched Ryu Hwan’s hand swing again, seemingly not caring much about his limbs flying away.

Kiiing-

The will to live and Jinhyeok’s spiritual power mixed together, turning his eyes a dark purple, and at the same time, two sword strikes struck Jinhyeok again.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

Jinhyeok’s life-threatening eye opening operation gained momentum as an explosion reverberated throughout the forest.

* * *

Kkudang tang tang!

Jinhyuk rolls on the floor with his steps twisted due to his rough movements to avoid the last sword strike.

Even though my body was already covered in dirt, there was a big difference between rolling around willingly and rolling around against my will.

of course-

“That’s it for today’s class.”

“… … Yes, thank you.”

Ryu Hwan, who actually made Jinhyeok roll on the floor, was incredibly calm.

The difference between him, who had a refreshing smile as if he had just gone for a morning walk, and someone who had just gone for an ordinary walk was his fearsome physical strength, which did not even break a drop of sweat.

Even Jinhyeok had to use his full strength every time he evaded, and even then, he would inevitably get one or two wounds, so Ryu Hwan’s stamina was monstrous, as he continued to attack for an hour without stopping without breaking a sweat.

“Phew… … Phew… … Phew… … Now I can live a little.”

Hwaaaaah!

Of course, Jinhyuk, who had regained his original form in an instant by training hard for an hour with a few deep breaths and healing his wounds with divine powers, had become a little monster.

After recovering from the wounds he received from Ryu Hwan and regaining some of his stamina, Jinhyeok bowed his head once again.

“Thank you for the great map.”

Because now that the training is over, regardless of the difficult moments, I can see that it definitely helped me.

But the words he blurted out during difficult times without going through the filter of his thoughts remained like spilled water.

“What are you talking about? I still remember you calling me a f*cking son of a bitch 15 minutes ago.”

“No, that’s… … .”

“And 19 minutes ago, you said you wanted to take off your rank and have a go at it.”

“…….”

“Oh, 36 minutes ago you said you would break off the horn and make it into a single horn?”

“… … Ahem.”

“Let’s do well?”

“……yes.”

Knock knock-

Ryu Hwan, who had come over without notice, smiled brightly and lightly patted Jinhyeok on the cheek.

Although it was light by Ryu Hwan’s standards, he felt a chill on his face, but Ryu Hwan forgot about the curses Jinhyeok had hurled during the training session.

‘We need to keep pushing forward, but it’s a bit much to beat him up with swear words.’

Well, the reason wasn’t because Jinhyeok was pretty, but rather because he wanted to hit her later, but Jinhyeok had no way of knowing.

When Ryu Hwan, who had shaken off the lump in his throat, was about to take a nap in the shade of a tree while humming a tune.

“How long do you think it will take?”

“… … Hmm, it depends on how you do it. Of course, even if you are prepared to die, you may never be able to open your eyes. I have never seen an acquired eye opening before. Nana Haruyū was born with innate eyesight.”

“that…….”

“But I don’t know why, but I think you can do it. To be honest, you haven’t been properly hurt by a sword since the first time, right? You’ve strengthened your eyes with a mysterious energy called spiritual power, and you’ve been able to embody the power contained in the goblin mask, however weakly. If you amplify that and make it completely yours… … That’s when you’ll open your eyes.”

“hmm……!”

Jinhyuk let out a low sigh at the sight of Ryu Hwan humming his words.

The power he called Yeongan was certainly great and had less resistance, but it was no better than ‘Battle Precognition’.

It was only natural that my head would ache as I thought about refining it and bringing it up to the level of battle foresight.

“If I could draw out the same level of power contained in the mask with my own power, what would be the benefit to me?”

That is why Jinhyuk dug into the benefits of using his battle foresight without a mask through hard work.

Even now, if you wear a mask, it was to instill in yourself a reason and legitimacy for having to go through arduous training in order to gain the ability to wear it as your own.

“It’s like a guy who can’t even walk asking to be taught how to run.”

From Ryu Hwan’s perspective, it was an absurd thing –

“But if you knew the benefits of running, wouldn’t you try harder to run? Of course, you would put more effort and passion into walking as well.”

Jinhyuk clung persistently.

Ryu Hwan ended up giving up after seeing Jin Hyuk clinging so desperately to him.

“… … If you throw it in water, only the spout will float around. Well, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for you to know that in advance.”

Ryu Hwan got up from the floor with a “sssssss” sound and asked while dusting himself off.

“You saw something at the end yesterday, right? Something different from usual.”

“… … Are you talking about that world dyed red?”

“Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about.”

A new world that I could only see after abusing my eyes to the point of bloody tears flowing from both of them and overlapping the battle vision three times.

Jinhyuk shivered as he recalled the place where the whole world was dyed red.

‘It was a scary place.’

Although he only had a second to properly examine the place, Jinhyuk was given a lot of information during that time and was able to avoid a brutal attack.

And by then, Jinhyeok could also sense what Ryu Hwan meant.

“… … Could it be that what you want, Master, is for me to step into that world?”

“That’s right. Even if you open your eyes, it will be difficult to enter the world you saw right now. Maha World, so only then will you receive help from the mask.”

“For that, this kind of grueling training… … .”

“No, I just do it because I feel like I can get it faster if my life is at stake.”

“…….”

Jinhyeok glared at Ryu Hwan, who was calmly spouting out creepy words, but Ryu Hwan was not the type to be scared by such words.

Swish-

Instead, he took out the large brush he was carrying on his back.

It was only a large brush, but in Ryu Hwan’s hands, even a dog’s paw turned into a murder weapon, so there was no reason not to be afraid of a brush.

“I apologize for what I just said.”

“Why? Do you think I’m going to hit you with this?”

“……greatness.”

“Don’t worry. This is a tool that will boost your motivation, just like you said.”

“What is that… … .”

Jinhyuk tilted his head at the words, “A tool that will boost your motivation,” separate from the thought that he would beat himself with a brush.

“Open the door.”

Crunch!

Ryu Hwan began to paint in the air in a calm, unchanging voice.

Red ink begins to dye the world red through the brush in Ryu Hwan’s hand.

Chulpuk- Chulpuk- Chulpuk-

The world dyed red is revealed once again through Ryu Hwan’s fingertips, which move calmly and meticulously, unlike the speed that is getting faster and faster.

Kukugugugugu-

“… … Huh!”

“Don’t move. This world is not yet yours.”

When Jinhyeok groaned harshly under the pressure of feeling as if the Earth’s gravity was focused solely on him, Ryu Hwan, who had been calmly painting, ordered Jinhyeok not to move.

Of course, even if he was told to move, Jinhyuk was crushed by the pressure and couldn’t even move a finger.

Meanwhile, Ryu Hwan’s hand dyed everything Jinhyeok’s eyes touched red.

“This is the Maha World. It’s the place you saw. Unlike yesterday, you didn’t come here on your own two feet. I opened the door for you myself, so it’ll be hard for you to move properly.”

“… … That’s amazing.”

Jinhyuk, who had not been able to properly look around yesterday because of the urgent situation, slowly turned his eyes and took in the Maha world.

A space where time seems to have stopped.

To be precise, it was a space where time flowed so slowly that it seemed as if it had stopped.

A place where you have to go deeper into the world as seen through battle foresight.

Jinhyuk, who stepped foot in there as a guest, could truly feel the value of this space.

“If you can officially enter here… …then you will be able to acquire the speed appropriate for this space.”

“Like Mr. Ryu Hwan?”

“No way. If you try to eat it raw, you’ll end up in trouble. I was fast even before I set foot in the Maha world.”

“That’s… … a bit disappointing.”

Jinhyuk was very disappointed when he heard that even if he opened his eyes and barely entered the Maha world through the goblin mask, it would be impossible to achieve the speed of Ryu Hwan.

But the regret didn’t last long.

“But I still like it.”

“You have to listen. Even including you, there are only three people allowed in here.”

“Is this the original color?”

Ryu Hwan slightly shook his head at Jinhyeok, who was winking at the red world.

“It’s because it’s dyed in my color now, but you could dye it in your own color. You could even name this world whatever you want.”

“That sounds appealing.”

You can give this fascinating world your own color and name.

That alone was enough to satisfy Jinhyuk, so he smiled faintly even in an environment where it was difficult to lift a finger.

Ryu Hwan shook his head with a tired expression as he watched Jinhyeok smiling at the thought of making the vast world his own instead of being intimidated by it.

“That guy is like a rascal.”

“I hear that a lot.”

“Whew, that’s it. That’s it for the viewing.”

Boom! Thud! Thud! Thud!

When Ryu Hwan finished speaking, he lightly touched the floor with his brush and the red ink that had spread throughout the world fell down with a splash.

That too for a moment.

The red ink was absorbed into the brush head.

On the floor where red ink had been splattered, not even a trace could be found.

While Jinhyuk returned to reality where birds were chirping and the scent of the forest was in the air, he was breathing heavily.

dump-

“Go now. Come back here tomorrow at this time.”

“……yes.”

Ryu Hwan, who had returned to the shade of the tree where he had been resting, waved his hand and gave an order to the guests.

It was a greeting that could hardly be called harsh, but he bowed his head slightly and returned to Walpurgis’ hut.

“Maha World… … Maha World… … I have truly seen something wonderful.”

Maha world.

Jinhyuk’s lips formed a deep smile without him realizing it as he muttered the name of the unknown world he had never known and the one that would take him to a higher place.

Jinhyuk unconsciously muttered pleasant words that made him completely forget even the fatigue and hardship he had endured, and he walked briskly towards the cabin filled with people waiting for him.
