141. Total War
Mana Unleashed. It was a technique that only a few people in Korea could use at the moment.
No, to be exact, it would be more accurate to say it is a state of mind or a concept rather than a skill.
In my case, before returning, when I opened the full bloom, I used it in a way that maximized the [Legendary Sniper] ability… … but in Lee Geun-taek’s case, I had no idea how it would manifest.
‘Scatter the spears… … Is it possible to freely manipulate the spear without holding it in the area where mana is deployed?’
In a split second, I considered several possibilities.
But that is just a prediction, and you will have to actually receive it to find out what it is.
‘By the way, is that Lee Geun-taek, who was called one of the best hunters of the first generation? … ?’
Mana Expansion was only available to a very small number of people before the regression, although the number of people who could use it increased over time.
Because it required a huge amount of mana, and was a technique that only Awakened users could use, along with an extremely meticulous level of mana control.
The difference between those who couldn’t use it and those who couldn’t was so great that everyone wanted to use it, but it was like that.
“Look clearly with those two eyes.”
Lee Geun-taek threw the spear he was carrying on his back and scattered it in all directions.
Then he threw a spear at me as I was flying through the air with an air anchor.
At first, I just had one in my hand.
And then there was another window right next to it.
It was a natural movement, as if watching a dance. Instead of throwing the spear that was hanging on his back, he pulled out the spear that was stuck in his back and threw it.
By doing so, we were able to maintain a fast moving speed and make maximum use of the body’s rotational power.
The elasticity of a fast-moving body is transferred to the windows scattered and inserted everywhere.
Several spears were fired rapidly, like arrows leaving a bow.
What was surprising was that each and every spear thrown by Lee Geun-taek flew in an incredible trajectory.
‘I thought I avoided it, but it ended up being twisted like this?’
No. This was clearly an area that was impossible to achieve with just ‘throwing well’.
I was quickly making evasive maneuvers using the air anchor, but the windows followed me in a curved trajectory as if they were magnets.
… … Perhaps it was an area created by the mana particles spread by Lee Geun-taek. It seemed like the mana spread by Lee Geun-taek was having an effect in some way.
“Hahaha. This is the end. You treat me like an old man in the back room. But that’s not right.”
Lee Geun-taek, who had thrown the spear halfway, waved his hand at me from the floor, probably convinced that he had won.
‘This inspiration… … .’
Looking at the intensity of the flying spear, it didn’t feel like it could be blocked by a mana shield at all.
It’s impossible to ignore it… …then.
I used my air dash to make up for the speed difference as quickly as possible and hid behind a giant tree.
“Huh. That guy is using his head. But… … .”
Kwakwakwa – Kwajik!
Although it was an incredibly huge tree, Lee Geun-taek’s spears pierced through it in a way that did not match its appearance.
‘… … But still, the rotation was killed a lot.’
Of course, the spears were still flying at me with a terrifying momentum, but I thought that simply dodging them was no longer the answer.
‘Since it’s going to keep following me anyway, I have no choice but to stop for now.’
After transforming the gun into a shield using [Magic Engineering Weapon Transformation], he then raised his mana and covered the front of the shield with ether.
Immediately afterwards, the spear that pierced the tree made contact with the shield it had created.
Squeak -. Kkiegigeek, kikiegigeek -.
I felt a strong trembling in the hand holding the shield. And that was not all, the shield suddenly deformed and jutted out towards me like a sharp piece of dented iron.
‘Surely… it’ll break through?’
Fortunately, the spear stopped there. Somehow, a cold sweat broke out on my back at the thought that even if I had thrown just one more spear, it might have gone through.
The moment I received it like that and was about to turn it into an offensive attack again.
Push -.
A hidden spear flew in on a completely unexpected trajectory and passed through my upper shoulder.
‘this……!’
“I thought you blocked everything. Heheheehe… … Unfortunately, I decided to do it properly today. Blocking the window was amazing, but it doesn’t end with just blocking it. If you can’t block it easily, your opponent will use the next plan. Think of it as a lesson.”
The moment I thought I had blocked it, it seemed that Lee Geun-taek had taken advantage of the weak point and launched the spear from a blind spot.
Fortunately, I somehow twisted my body a little at the last moment and avoided a direct hit… … .
‘This happened when we were stuck in the 1st division… … .’
When playing a game that follows the rules of the first division, where the outcome of the game is almost never reversed, this kind of situation can happen. It was the worst.
***
When Lee Chang-hyun transformed his weapon into a shield just in time before it reached Chang.
And when all of Lee Chang-hyun’s eyes were focused on the window.
‘This is the perfect time to aim for something… … I still lack training.’
No, rather, it would be more correct to see it as an inevitable choice forced upon them because they knew that they would not be able to stop it unless they tried with all their might.
In any case, it is ultimately due to a lack of skill, so isn’t it the same thing?
‘Think of it as a father’s heart, giving you a vaccination before going up to the first part. Don’t be too resentful. Hehe.’
Lee Geun-taek threw a spear at Lee Chang-hyeon from the square.
On a path that avoids the shield.
‘By the way, you blocked that window.’
Even for Lee Geun-taek, it was quite surprising.
The ‘Mana Expansion’ of this realm that he had just created not only allowed him to freely control the spear, but also added tremendous rotational power.
The destructive power was enough to tear apart mana shields like a piece of paper…
Stop it?
‘It doesn’t seem to be a normal shield… … .’
I felt a sense of accomplishment. Well, it’s been a few years since ‘Mana Development’, so it wouldn’t be fun for Lee Geun-taek if it ended so quickly.

But that doesn’t mean I’m going to play around with it easily.
He blocked it. However, the spear that had just been fired again clearly passed by Lee Chang-hyun.
Maybe it was because I wasn’t originally aiming for a direct hit. I was just trying to disable one arm, but the guy twisted his body to avoid it, and only ended up hurting his shoulder.
Reflexes and kinetic vision. I thought that this was definitely one of the most impressive abilities among the awakened ones.
but……
‘The risk of Part 1. Pain… … Part 1 is not easy to turn around once you allow an attack because of its existence… … ‘
Once you get hit, twice is easy. The moment you get hurt, your power is halved and the tense battle falls apart in an instant.
This was probably a situation that Lee Chang-hyun, who was encountering Part 1 for the first time, could not have imagined at all.
Because you’ve never faced an opponent this close or ahead of you before, and that too under the 1st division rules.
“How does it feel to taste something spicy to an old man, Chang-hyeon?”
“It hurts more than poking my gums with a toothpick.”
Lee Geun-taek was momentarily dumbfounded. It was impossible for him to make such a joke in a situation that he had never encountered before.
Indeed, does he possess first-class material?
“The first part of the game is different from the games we’ve played so far. It’s almost impossible to turn a losing game around just by gritting your teeth and charging forward. How about you, now that you’ve experienced it yourself?”
The pain caused by an injury makes it impossible for the body to handle itself as it normally would.
If you fight with a body that doesn’t have enough strength, it’s natural that it will collapse in an instant.
Even looking at Lee Chang-hyun now, it is like that.
It was ‘just a scratch on the window’, but his shoulder was already covered in blood, and in that state, his left arm wouldn’t have the strength it used to…
If you’re holding a weapon with one hand, you need to use the air anchor to maneuver in the air with the other hand, but right now, you don’t have that other hand.
‘But if you roll around on the floor with me, the result is obvious… … .’
The results are already out.
The moment Lee Chang-hyun missed the last window and it was over.
“You must be very tired from the pain you are experiencing for the first time… … I will take responsibility for the whole thing and finish it so that you don’t get any more tired. You won’t be able to use the air anchor anyway.”
He added a word, waving his hand.
“Come.”
… … But, strangely enough, Lee Chang-hyun just stood there and didn’t move.
Was I so surprised by the sensation I felt for the first time? But the next moment I realized that the thought was ridiculously stupid.
Lee Chang-hyun flew into the air, still handling the air anchor with his left arm, as if his shoulder injury was nothing.
As if there was no problem.
‘Ugh… … .’
It wasn’t just about enduring the pain and moving.
A more realistic battlefield than the first league. Lee Geun-taek, who fought at the top, knew it.
Even the most experienced hunter, accustomed to enduring pain, could not have survived such an injury.
At best, it’s possible to attach an air anchor to a drooping arm, but that kind of thing is -.
“You’re saying you’ll finish it without tiring me out? I’m young so I don’t know. I guess the chairman is already tired because he’s old. Then I guess I have no choice but to finish it for him.”
Lee Chang-hyun smiled, revealing his white teeth, and strode through the air.
It looked like things were starting to move again.
‘Heh heh… That guy. Can’t he feel pain? Or… … Does he have some kind of ability related to that?’
Otherwise, it would be a nonsensical movement. Of course, if at some point you really go beyond your body’s limits, you will be ruined and unable to move.
He’s got to be one of the best talents in the league at least.
“upstart.”
I guess it won’t stop unless they actually tear one of my arms off my body.
But that doesn’t change the situation.
Then all you have to do is throw the window again… …
‘… … .’
Tata tata tata tang!
As expected, the guy kept firing his gun in the air to keep him from throwing the window.
Although there were occasional strong bullets mixed in, Lee Geun-taek’s mana had already been deployed in this area.
Wow -.
Even the skill of cutting off such bullets with a spear is a simple task.
“It seems like the same method doesn’t work on the Chairman… … .”
“Do you realize it now?”
At that moment, Lee Chang-hyun began shouting wildly as if he was going to use his firepower to decide the outcome.
“This time, I will hit the Chairman’s [spear], [shield], [head], [shoulder], [left arm], [right arm], [left leg], and [right leg] with each bullet.”
As if responding to those words, mana suddenly gathered around Lee Chang-hyun.
‘Is talking about where to hit the trigger for the ability…?
At this point, I couldn’t help but notice. Last time, when I said I would hit the head and shield, the firepower was so exceptionally strong.
“Okay. Then I will put every last spear left on this floor into your heart.”
There may be a way to stop it, but this was a fight the guy had started. Lee Geun-taek did not dislike the challenge.
