Episode 226: The captain goes ahead, the team members follow
Having to fend off an opponent’s attacks while having limited evasion abilities was like having to fight without several body parts.
‘If it was me and not Lee Chang-hyun in that situation, it would have been no different from a target.’
Of course, it wasn’t easy to install the mana equipment that bound my feet without being noticed.
Fortunately, several guys rushed in and bothered Chang-Hyeon, making him nervous, so he had an opening.
If Chang-Hyeon had noticed it in the middle, it would have ended without anything more to be done.
But no matter what the situation was, it was a success and Chang-Hyeon’s feet were tied. He had to finish this situation quickly and without letting his guard down.
It was a moment I had been secretly hoping for since [Hunters: The Next Generation].
‘Basically, the reason Lee Chang-hyun is strong is because of his strong attack power, and his accuracy in landing it. Lastly, he has the aerial evasion maneuver ability that makes such attacks possible. But now, that last part is completely blocked.’
If you miss this moment, it may be an opportunity that will never come again.
Woohoo -.
Seven of the swords rushed at Lee Chang-hyun at once. Before he could do anything, they were determined to finish him off while his feet were tied.
While his legs were still fully attached, he rushed at Lee Chang-hyun with the determination to make a life-or-death decision.
***
Meanwhile, Kim Do-jun and Lee Yeon-ju, who are watching with good fortune, are watching the river across the fire.
I was watching Lee Chang-hyun’s fight and was laughing.
“Wow… … He cleared them all away like that in one go. He messed up the opponent’s steps.”
The opponent’s throwing weapons were twisted into throwing weapons, and the steps of the melee dealers were twisted, making them look like fools.
Kim Do-jun could only admire Lee Chang-hyun’s brute force.
I even wondered how far Lee Chang-hyun could see, who could read the opponent’s attacks and trajectories in detail, disrupt their coordination, and deal with them in one go.
“……hmm!”
Of course, I still didn’t understand why Lee Yeon-ju was so proud of such admiration.
But what was even more surprising was that, as expected, I thought it would end with Lee Chang-hyun’s twin pistols firing, but Yoon Han-gyeol did not fall.
‘Even these days, in the PER practice room, Yoon Han-gyeol learns from Lee Chang-hyun by getting beat up. Today, he’s more motivated than usual.’
But honestly, I didn’t have high expectations. I’ve never seen Yoon Han-gyeol beat Lee Chang-hyun before.
However, the moment he saw Yoon Han-gyeol’s next move, Kim Do-jun couldn’t help but smile.
“Huh… … Huh? Why isn’t Chang-Hyeon moving all of a sudden? Is Han-Gyeol swinging his sword?? Isn’t this the timing when he should be flying up with the air anchor?”
Lee Yeon-ju has also breathed PER air for a while now, and is now able to predict Lee Chang-hyun’s next move.
They say that after three years of studying at a private school, a dog can recite poetry.
Kim Do-jun hid his laughter and spoke with a strict and serious face.
“It’s not that it doesn’t fly, it’s that it can’t fly.”
“… … .”
“Look at Changhyun’s feet.”
The color of the ground that Lee Chang-hyun was walking on had changed to blue, making it seem as if the ground was holding Lee Chang-hyun tightly.
“That’s a mana equipment I made. If you’re attached to it, you won’t be able to move for at least two feet.”
It was a kind of booby-trapped mana equipment. Since the absorption ability had to be strong enough to capture a hunter, the effective range was narrow, and most hunters often continued aerial combat, so it was left in a corner.
It seemed like that was the reason why Yoon Han-gyeol’s eyes lit up when he saw that before.
“Wow. I’m intoxicated by the mana equipment.”
Last time, Jin Su-hyeok saved PER’s ace Lee Chang-hyun from Team SAA’s strategy, and this time, he successfully reversed the situation by tying Lee Chang-hyun’s feet with the help of Yoon Han-gyeol.
At this point, I thought, I might have already reached a similar level to Austin in the US.
‘In the end, whoever uses my mana equipment wins… … Hehe.’
Now that his performance has continued from last time, will he become famous as a specialist in mana equipment like Austin?
All sorts of imaginations followed one after another.
‘What if I get an offer from an overseas team? … … But I still have a loyalty to Chang-Hyeon, so should I stay? But it would be too good an opportunity to miss out on… … .’
“Ah… … Just say you’ll let me join on the condition that Changhyun is good at it too.”
It was truly a brilliant plan that was good for both the sister and brother-in-law. Of course, parting with the other team members would be a bit painful… …
“Oh… … Ohhhhh!”
Ha. Yes, Lee Yeon-ju, who is making such strange exclamations right now, has overcome difficult times with me, but I can’t take her with me.
Isn’t sports a world that only looks at skills? It’s a shame, Lee Yeon-ju. You won’t be on the team I’m transferring to.
“Eww!”
No, I couldn’t stand it any longer.
“No! Why are you still making a fuss about what to watch when the game is already over?”
I’m making plans for the future for the first time in a while, but I can’t concentrate at all because of Lee Yeon-ju’s strange exclamations.
“What’s the end? Open your eyes wide and look properly!”
But what came back was only Lee Yeon-ju’s sharp rebuttal.
What on earth was it… … But the moment I turned around, I had no choice but to admit it.
Since he made it himself, he knew about the mana equipment. He thought it would suck Lee Chang-hyun in like an ant hell.
The fact that the game is going in a completely unexpected direction.
***
Yoon Han-gyeol’s fierce attack continued after confirming that his feet were tied.
Even though I had been teaching Yoon Han-gyeol and was well aware of his weaknesses, it was difficult for me to deal with the seven swords that came rushing in while my feet were tied.
Of course, I couldn’t just let it go like that.
Shushushung!
Yoon Han-gyeol’s Igi-eogeom, which shoots like a gun and attempts to stab. It is obviously impossible to block it with a mana shield. Even if you set up a mana protector, it would be meaningless because it would probably distort the path.
So the only way is to avoid it by improvising and keeping your feet still.
‘Not only ordinary people, but also any awakened person would not be able to avoid it with both feet together… … ‘
As someone who was able to evade vital point attacks by moving to the location of the heart with the [Perfect Body] ability, I was able to do this much.
A technique that moves bones and muscles that would appear in a martial arts novel.

Mana violently spun around, shaking my entire body.
And the results were clear.
I was able to dodge all the flying swords in acrobatic positions that a normal human body would not be able to achieve.
‘Haha… … But this, the people watching from outside might be a bit shocked.’
It’s not the fact that he avoided it, but this bizarre pose.
Besides, even if I avoided it like this, the situation didn’t change at all.
His feet still hadn’t left the ground, and with his stable posture already broken, there was no way to avoid the sword strike that was coming at him again.
In the end, if the feet didn’t move, there was no way to overcome the overwhelming disadvantage.
I had to think quickly.
There was only a split second before Yoon Han-gyeol launched his attacks one after another.
Unless we could do something about this chewy mana equipment, defeat was certain.
All kinds of assumptions and thoughts lingered in my head and then disappeared.
Should I maximize the recoil output of the airbeat and try to escape from the impact?
Or should we end it by standing together with Yoon Han-gyeol and shooting at him with a life-or-death determination?
No. No. None of them were correct.
‘When using [Perfect Body] to make the mana flow more strongly through the body, the suction power on the feet became stronger momentarily. Even if you use mana equipment, the suction power increases that much more, which can only cause shock to the body.
And making a life-or-death decision… …Yoon Han-gyeol can move, but I can’t. If Yoon Han-gyeol quickly dodges my shots and attacks me with only the Igi-geom, that’s the end.’
In a split second, countless methods were devised and discarded based on experience and logic.
Then, suddenly, one thing occurred to me. A question.
This mana equipment, probably made by Kim Do-jun, was based on some sort of principle that allowed it to be so powerful.
‘If it was some kind of adhesive, I would have just taken off my shoes and flown up barefoot. But even that didn’t work.’
That doesn’t mean it was a force like gravity.
Even when I avoided the attack in a strange posture with my body balance ruined [with a perfect body], my posture did not collapse.
If gravity were to be particularly strong enough to hold it in place, it would have exerted a strong force not only on the feet but also on other parts of the body.
When I felt something particularly strange, it was only when I simply turned the mana circuit and used my ability.
‘… … .’
When you release mana? The pressure gets stronger?
Only then did the magic seem to fit.
Why doesn’t this floor attract or hold onto other odds and ends, yet when I step on it, it sticks and doesn’t come off?
And even now, when dust or other debris flies around, it doesn’t stick at all, but why is it that only my body sticks so perfectly and doesn’t fall off?
‘The mana inside my body is acting like a magnet.’
If I think about it as a mana equipment, I might have realized it quickly and simply. I laughed so hard that I wondered why I didn’t know.
In simplicity, the best method was hidden.
If it’s like Kim Do-jun, then is it like Kim Do-jun?
‘Of course, the simpler it is, the simpler the response will be.’
If Kim Do-jun brings a sword that causes eye strain, you can wear sunglasses, and if he brings a sword that causes noise, you can wear earplugs.
If you have an adhesive platform that draws in mana, you can use a mana blocking robe that prevents the mana in your body from leaking out.
Fortunately, I wear a mask and play in ranked matches, so I have scraped up all the mana equipment that is on the market.
Since I had a fight with Kim Do-jun while wearing a mask just before this match, I had all the mana equipment.
The upper body was broken once. And before Yoon Han-gyeol’s sword returned and cut again with the next attack. He quickly put on the mana blocking robe.
Then, as expected, the foot came off like a ghost.
‘If it was the Hunter’s League where there was a limit to the number of mana equipment, I would have been defeated without a fight.’
It felt like I could feel the growth of my team members once again.
In part 3 or 2, have my teammates ever made me this nervous?
Of course. Now it was time to end the game.
Looking at Yoon Han-gyeol, who was dumbfounded, as if he had never thought that he would be released from the mana equipment that was holding him tightly.
After lightly jumping into the air, he was lifted into the air with the additional recoil force of the airbeat.
‘I guess you never thought you’d be released.’
I was confident about that.
If I had tried to force it off without thinking twice, by reflexively emitting mana or using airbeat right there, it would have stuck with much greater force and become completely stuck like gum.
but.
“My career is much longer than you think.”
If you know the ground is dangerous, you can do an aerial battle.
Stepping on the airbeat and continuing onto the air anchor, the super-fast movement and the rapid fire of dual pistols began.
Yoon Han-gyeol quickly came to his senses, summoned the sword, fired a bullet, and moved quickly, but in a situation where I could move just as much, there were plenty of ways to hit Yoon Han-gyeol even if he ran away.
To begin with, I had the advantage in aerial maneuverability.
Even if you block a bullet once.
Flash -.
The calculated ricochet shot with [Piercing Eyes] will inevitably be used at times like this.
Fish.
“Hey. But it’s nothing compared to those little guys who fell over there all at once. You can be proud.”
The game ended in vain with Yoon Han-gyeol giving him some comfort as he collapsed in frustration, perhaps because he had used too much of his brain.
But if you think about it, wasn’t it Yoon Han-gyeol who betrayed you? Why am I comforting you…
fantasy,
