139. Illusion
Yoon Han-gyeol.
This guy was actually one of the guys who had made a name for himself in Part 1 even before his return.
A sword that can handle up to 7 weapons at once. It is especially powerful in 1-on-1 battles.
It was a natural thing.
Since it uses 7 of them, the accuracy is somewhat reduced, but it has the advantage of being able to attack enemies from a distance without taking risks.
And because it was a swordsmanship that was not tied to the human body, it had the advantage of being able to immediately stab anyone who saw a weakness.
And now, the aspect of a powerful interpersonal combat ability was being revealed.
The moment he flew into the air to escape Lee Yeon-ju’s [bondage], it was as if he had been waiting to fly into the air.
It was because Yoon Han-gyeol’s Lee Gi-eo-geom was shot like a bullet.
Fortunately, since I was very familiar with dogfights, it wasn’t difficult to use the air anchor and air beat evasive maneuvers in succession…
Shh …
First of all, it shot like a bullet, and if you try to avoid it with just a slight turn and minimal movement, it will immediately swing its sword, so it is not easy to just keep dodging.
‘Besides, Lee Yeon-ju will probably keep looking for an opportunity… … .’
While floating in the air and continuously dodging the sword, at some point, Yoon Han-gyeol appeared behind him, controlling the sword.
At that moment, several thoughts crossed my mind at once.
‘Should I shoot a guided missile like Kim Do-jun? Or… … get up close and shoot with dual pistols?’
[Guided Shot (Medium)], which I used when dealing with Kim Do-jun, was definitely a good countermeasure, but it consumed a lot of mana.
There, if you react properly and block it with a mana shield, it’s a total failure.
And above all, this match is meant to test out your newly acquired abilities, so it would be pointless to just use the same abilities.
‘Then… … let’s try this.’
While I was thinking about how I could win effectively while trying different methods, an interesting idea suddenly popped into my head.
***
I will definitely win.
That was the mindset that Yoon Han-gyeol had today.
Their first meeting was at an audition for the Hunter’s League. Yoon Han-gyeol was a promising prospect who was doing well, so he was honestly confident in his fighting skills and was actually at the top of the league.
‘It appeared there like a comet.’
Lee Chang-hyun showed himself to be much better than that. Even in the face of danger of falling, he seemed to be fearless and used his mana equipment naturally as if he were a flying creature.
And he led the game in a way that no one could have imagined, and in the end, he even ended up having a great time with Lee Geun-taek on an audition program.
I couldn’t help but admire that look and that play.
The reason I decided to become a hunter and dreamed of it all along was because I was moved by that overwhelming sight and appearance.
Of course, there were many excellent hunters in the first division and the international league. However, in Yoon Han-gyeol’s eyes, Lee Chang-hyun was different from them in some way.
Even the aspects that can easily be seen as being arrogant that are shown in interviews are all acceptable.
‘……but.’
However, that did not mean that Yoon Han-gyeol gave up on beating Lee Chang-hyeon.
Even when giving advice to Yoon Han-gyeol about swordsmanship. Even when listening to him talk about survival strategies in Hunter Survival.
And in the actual match, he eventually supports everyone and leads the game to victory.
Yoon Han-gyeol’s eyes were always directed at Lee Chang-hyun.
Defeating Lee Chang-hyun, who at first seemed infinitely close, but after getting closer, he seemed infinitely far away.
Because at some point, that became his new goal.
‘Of course it’s not 1 on 1… … .’
Lee Chang-hyun was the one who said that if it was an opponent you couldn’t win against, you had to do whatever it took to win.
Yoon Han-gyeol was smiling faintly at some point.
And the actual operation that was prepared was working better than expected. It was probably because Yoon Han-gyeol was in good condition, but he was able to push Lee Chang-hyun back better than expected with the Lee Gi-eo-geom.
‘It would be best to make a decision in this situation… … .’
While allowing for weak sword strikes, all lethal attacks were avoided.
It’s probably all calculated.
So the moment I wanted to push further.
‘… … Really, today. It might be possible.’
Perhaps because he thought that this couldn’t go on, Lee Chang-hyun used Airbeat to fly towards where Yoon Han-gyeol was controlling the sword.
It seemed that since there was no time to aim the gun accurately, the intention was to force the fight into close combat and create chaos.
But this is a situation I have experienced many times during personal training.
‘Yes, actually, I’ve been hurt many times by driving like this… … If you drive like this, you’ll win, but since I have to consider my body, I end up spending less time using the sword… … But.’
If that’s what happened, there’s no way I wouldn’t have prepared.
The 8th sword prepared for this day. Yes, Yoon Han-gyeol had prepared a new sword again.
It was completed with the addition of one sword that Yoon Han-gyeol personally wields among the seven Leegi Swords.
This is the true essence of close combat.
Besides, in close quarters combat between hunters, guns had no advantage over swords.
Rather, there was no reason to use a gun at close range, as the gun could be blocked by mana shields.
Yes. This is what Lee Chang-hyun got sucked into.
Yoon Han-gyeol recalled the fight he had pictured countless times in his head, and when Lee Chang-hyun came close, he pressed him with his sword.
Then, naturally, the evasive maneuvers continued as before.
If you’re not careful, you can evade at close range, even hitting Yoon Han-gyeol.
The cleverness that prevented Lee Chang-hyun from swinging the sword at will was evident. At that moment, Yoon Han-gyeol pulled out the eighth sword that Lee Chang-hyun did not know about.
Because while controlling the seven black swords, he displayed swordsmanship that was much sharper than expected.
‘Did something change after you opened that box?’
I had that thought. Up until now, I’ve tried to use the eighth sword and made many mistakes because the balance was lost.
It was as if God had given him the opportunity to beat Lee Chang-hyun.

Yoon Han-gyeol knew how to cherish that opportunity.
“Don’t be too disappointed! After all, the performance only served to bring you closer.”
It would be difficult for Lee Yeon-ju to be active in such an urgent and entangled close combat. Now, it’s a real 1-on-1.
“And even the best players have lost to their teammates at least once, right?”
My adrenaline was pumping. It felt like time was passing slowly.
At close range, the sword is advantageous. In addition, the Igi-eo sword, which is close to the strongest in one-on-one combat, is helping Yoon Han-gyeol.
And that fleeting moment, the likes of which I have never felt in my entire life, where it felt as if I could feel every single hair.
Yoon Han-gyeol’s eighth sword knocked away one of Lee Chang-hyun’s pistols that was about to be thrust at Yoon Han-gyeol.
A pistol neatly knocked out of Lee Chang-hyun’s hand.
It stands to reason that it would be much easier if there was only one pistol to guard against.
But, this close range makes it easy to read facial expressions.
Lee Chang-hyun was smiling.
“Well, for sure. There’s no player in the world who only wins. But… … .”
The guy kept reaching out as if to grab me, his hand empty from the pistol flying out.
‘… … !’
“I don’t think I’ll lose today.”
Lee Chang-hyun is not a martial arts hunter. That was clear. He has never shown himself doing something simply with force.
Just touching the body. That alone wouldn’t have been enough to do anything…
The moment Lee Chang-hyun’s fingertips lightly touched Yoon Han-gyeol’s body, a familiar light spread out.
But despite the intensity of the light, nothing happened, and Yoon Han-gyeol’s arm swinging the sword did not stop.
‘What were you trying to do? But… … whatever it was.’
A sharp, stabbing sensation that is sure to wrap around you.
Thud -.
Lee Chang-hyun has definitely fallen.
There was something bubbling inside me.
It spread out refreshingly, as if the refreshing juice was bursting out.
A triumph that feels so good you can’t believe it.
Yoon Han-gyeol was clearly smiling, calming his pounding heart.
***
“Phew… … That was dangerous.”
What happened? Yoon Han-gyeol clearly stabbed Lee Chang-hyun and thought he won.
Rather, it was Yoon Han-gyeol who collapsed and was eliminated from the battlefield.
He also had a smiling expression, as if he was in a very good mood.
[Full Bloom – Talent Blossoming: Commander of the Ideal Dream].
Since PER went up in the second part, it was a skill that helped a lot in raising the form of the team members.
… … And now. It was a completely new skill that could be used.
‘You can force someone to show you a certain image… … .’
If you touch someone physically, the image is conveyed even if the other person does not want to accept it.
A one-word explanation that seems really insignificant.
But the effect was by no means light.
Finally, the moment when Yoon Han-gyeol struck Lee Chang-hyun’s pistol with the eighth sword, the tip of Lee Chang-hyun’s hand touched Yoon Han-gyeol.
[Commander of the Ideal Dream] was activated after that.
Yoon Han-gyeol stood there blankly for a moment, stopping all actions.
‘Maybe you were looking at the image I planted… … .’
Up to this point, it was the same ability as before, but the problem was that there was no consent from Yoon Han-gyeol and they were in the middle of a battle.
In just one moment, their bodies touched, and Yoon Han-gyeol was rendered powerless.
When I see you laughing, it seems like you’re having a fantasy about beating me…
‘I think there might be quite a few useful places outside of the game.’
It was an ability that even Lee Chang-hyun could admire, as it was an ability that he had never heard of before.
It’s a shame that it can only be used by touching it, but it has versatility and a rarity in how to use it.
Because it was clear that it was a skill of great value.
My heart was pounding.
Because I was gradually developing and acquiring new abilities that I had never seen before.
I couldn’t even imagine what would happen if [Mankai] reached S+ rank.
While I was walking back through my life before my regression.
I was now on a new path.
‘By the way, you’ve handled 7 swords and now you’re handling one more sword as your main body… Is this the effect of Chairman Lee Geun-taek’s relic?’
In order to conserve mana, I refrained from using [Piercing Eyes], so I couldn’t tell right away.
However, it was really surprising that he used the eighth sword.
It may be a bit odd to call it a weakness, but it was the weakest part. That was because it was a close-range battle with Yoon Han-gyeol’s main body.
Yoon Han-gyeol completely erased such shortcomings by using his sword to attack together.
‘You’ve grown up.’
I thought that even if we count them as one-on-ones, they would be quite strong.
Well, it would be difficult if there was a counter ability that prevented the ability from being used like last time, but that’s not common.
Of course, the problem this time was that it wasn’t just Yoon Han-gyeol who had grown.
Team member growth. This will definitely be a big gain.
***
Meanwhile, in a wide open space.
Lee Geun-taek was scratching his back.
“Is it because I’m trying to use my body after a long time that I can’t control myself… … .”
And around it.
The remaining PER players, including Ryu Jae-jun, Kim Yu-hyeon, and Lee Gil-han, were all down.
“Keep on going… … Jaejun, that guy. I thought he had grown a bit, but he still has a long way to go. By the way, I thought that guy Lee Changhyun was coming this way, but why is he so late?”
