Episode 435 Technique
The inside of the hall was filled with a red light like a butcher shop due to the red light emanating from the guy’s eyes, and I could feel the hunters controlled by the guy approaching from all directions without hesitation.
It seems that he felt threatened because his ability failed twice and he made a quick decision.
As if that thought wasn’t a groundless one, the abilities of the Hunters located in all directions were tightening without question.
Fortunately, there was a way to deal with it.
‘It may be difficult to completely block them all, but… … .’
The ability. The power to read the signs. The power to read the trajectory. Because I had [the piercing eyes].
He began to use up all the mana he had saved up while entrusting the ambushes to them all the way here.
Because there was no time to measure this and that anymore.
As [Piercing Eyes] opened, the trajectory of the hunters’ attacks that entered this place began to show signs, like the red line laser detectors in spy movies where treasures sleep.
The end where their gaze is located is me.
The trajectories of various attacks flying towards me were pouring out without any gaps, as if there was no place to escape.
Chakrams that fly in a circular motion, boomerang-shaped throwing weapons that aim for the back even if you dodge them once, all kinds of magical weapons created with the ability. Is that all?
The ground I was standing on had, without any warning, turned into a swamp, making it difficult to jump up.
‘Tch… I should have taken care of the abilities that didn’t even have signs in advance.’
The battle doesn’t start out all that well from the start.
But, at that moment, I could see a small gap.
And then he smiled faintly.
If there is a way to solve some difficult, huge problem, it would be to start with what you can do now. The hint would be to start by untangling the small knots.

[Leonardo: If there was only one way for Lee Chang-hyun to win, it would have been to accept the sniping offer in the first place. After all, you have to be able to accept even small losses for the sake of a greater cause.]
Did Lee Geun-taek not like the part where Leonardo described it as a ‘small loss’? His eyebrows were twitching as if he was furious.
It was a natural story. Since then, Korea has received enormous praise from the world, but there has been no practical benefit.
Not only that? Rather, Korea has fallen far behind from being the strongest hunter nation, and has not even been able to exert any influence in the Hunters League until Lee Chang-hyun appeared.
[Caster: So, from the moment this battle began, there was absolutely no chance of victory for Lee Chang-hyun? Still, since that monster’s ability is mental and Lee Chang-hyun seems to have overcome it somehow, there must be a way to destroy it…
[Leonardo: If we were going to argue about the odds of victory, we should have finished it off before we could summon the things controlled by that red-light-blasting monster.]
[Caster: So what that means is… …
[Leonardo: It’s over.]
Unlike his usual tendency to leave open the possibility, Leonardo simply answered with a cynical expression.
That must be because the situation was so hopeless.
No matter how great a hunter you are, there is a limit to how much you can take in. After all, you can’t avoid all of those attacks. Thinking about it from a human perspective, it couldn’t be helped.
But even amidst such discussions, Lee Chang-hyun’s struggles continued surprisingly.
Attacks are coming at you so fast that you can’t even tell where to run to.
With the projectiles, of course, and the Hunters’ abilities to manipulate explosions and mana, there shouldn’t be anywhere to set foot.
Because Lee Chang-hyun was showing off an amazing performance.
[Caster: Lee Chang-hyun! I think the only way to win is to dodge into the air. I’ll use the rope I used to climb up the fortress wall earlier and hang it on the ceiling to fly up!]
[Leonardo: You’ve set up a self-inflicted wound. There isn’t even an air anchor there. Even if you could use rope action, your speed and freedom would be reduced. In a situation like that, you’d be more likely to get hit by a blind attack… ]
Of course, there were still critical comments about it.
As if to prove that in the end, a fight is not something you say with words, but something you show with actions.
Lee Chang-hyun showed excellent evasion.
First of all, there was the micro moving, which was previously said to be Lee Chang-hyun’s specialty.
[Caster: Player Lee Chang-hyun… …! Player Lee Chang-hyun is dodging the attacks coming towards him in the air by just a thin margin!]
[Lee Geun-taek: It’s about filling in the missing space… by avoiding it with minimal movement.]
Is that all? As if they were flying projectiles. They seem to be reading the trajectories of the attacks perfectly. They dodge one by one even though there seems to be no room.
How can they get through such a narrow gap, how can they avoid attacks that enter without any gaps being filled? It’s questionable.
[Lee Geun-taek: It may seem like there is no room to dodge, but not all of those attacks reach Lee Chang-hyun at the same time… … So.]
So, dodge the attacks in sequence, with minimal movement.
You can think of it as the extreme of it. It was an evasion that was extremely simple, yet no one could reproduce.
Of course, even if you avoid it like that, it isn’t that easy.
Because the number and types of Hunters they dealt with were so diverse. There were Hunters who had the unique ability to fly in strange orbits that had never been seen before, and there were Hunters like Lee Chang-hyun who flew into the air and rushed into close combat.
But they are the same too.
Was it because Lee Chang-hyun was subject to long-range attacks in a narrow area? Because he was also unable to escape from those attacks, they actually did not have much of an impact.
But even so, in the end, the number of hunters being controlled continued to increase, and at the same time, attacks continued to increase.
[Leonardo: Tsk… … Even so, it’s just defense. In the end, I’m in a situation where I can’t do anything because I’m just avoiding… … Nothing has changed… … What?]
A situation where there was no other answer than to avoid it. Lee Chang-hyun, who had been evading by pulling the rope hooked to the ceiling and climbing up, was showing his second move.
[Caster: Lee Chang-hyun… … starts to break down the ceiling!]
***
A fight between many and one. There are countless obvious disadvantages to one person.
The number of abilities, the amount of mana, the odds of winning when going to war of attrition, etc…
But that doesn’t mean it actually gets twice as difficult as it is with each additional person.
It was for a simple reason.
‘It’s not easy to achieve perfect harmony.’
Of course, the compatibility of abilities, but also the fighting tendencies and habits of the team members. Anticipating the next attack and adjusting to it. That is something that cannot be achieved without years of mutual understanding and deep understanding.
So, to me who was flying, what I saw below was an extremely simple situation.
The trajectories of the hunters’ attacks, as shown by the red and blue [Piercing Eyes], seem to completely fill up my vision.
They were like playing a bullet hell game. All you had to do was dodge them with your [complete body].
one two.
Not everything reaches me at the same time. Perfectly. By ‘moving’ my body slightly in the direction of not reaching it, in time.

But that wasn’t the problem.
‘This won’t work… … .’
He flew up to the ceiling so that most of his abilities would not be easily accessible, and even if they were, it would take a long time, but the number of hunters he had to deal with was gradually increasing.
So this was like a time attack.
Before the situation becomes too much for me to handle. A time attack to see if I can take that guy down or not.
It was obvious how it would look.
At first glance, the opponents appear to be in the tens or hundreds, and it seems like I don’t have any particular chance of winning.
But… … In times like these, if you look at the situation simply, there was a simple and good way.
The most intuitive way. Yeah.
‘[Piercing Eyes]. And from what I observed, it was clearly visible.’
A bit of a clumsy combination attack by hunters who don’t show great synergy.
And the weakness of a guy who is particularly difficult to care about, who cannot take advantage of various viewpoints.
The way to suppress that guy must be inside here.
[Magic Engineering Weapon Transformation], without needing even an inch of time, further transformed the rope’s hook.
Not something that is simply ‘hanging’ on a structure, but something that can be ‘destructed’.
Then, as soon as the hook rope was hung, the ceiling could not support it and began to collapse, leaving behind debris.
At the same time, the sky was visible beyond the fortress ceiling, and a cloud of dust rose. It was a situation reminiscent of the audition program when I first entered the Hunter’s League after returning.
But unlike that time, was it because it was such a huge fortress?
The ceiling didn’t collapse all at once, but was slowly collapsing through repeated hook actions and avoidance of the hunters’ attacks.
‘There are definitely more blind attacks.’
Destructive psychic attacks. And aside from the ability to control vast numbers of entities at will, there must be some way to destroy them.
Among those Hunters that control it, it would be impossible to reproduce things like the sense of location or the individual sense of detecting mana.
So the next step was simple.
‘I can see it, but he can’t see it… This is the kind of situation I’m most used to finishing.’
With the ceiling collapsing, I fall as the grappling rope loses its support.
I opened my eyes in that cloud of dust and looked for the guy.
Countless attacks rain down into the air, as if trying to blow up all the debris.
Since I had already dodged all the attacks that were directed solely at me, it wasn’t difficult to dodge.
[Absolute Shooting Area] is unfolding.
A moment when time seemed to have stopped.
Her clothes and hair were fluttering like crazy. And she aimed her gun, not even swayed by the wind.
Fix the viewpoint in the middle of the fall, and align the crosshair with the power of [Piercing Eye].
At the same time, the debris flying under the ability of [Absolute Shot Area] and the dust cloud cannot obscure the surroundings. The trajectory is twisted as if a connecting passage has been created, and the path to the target is instantly clear.
And the moment everything is done.
Crazy vibrations and the sound of destruction. Even with flying debris, I just stare at my target and hold my breath.
It fires a single shot without the need for multiple shots.
bang!
A sniper rifle of [Magic Engineering Weapon Transformation] that is so huge that it seems impossible to even lift and move it. The large-caliber [Ether Bullet] that goes into it.
Even though I was floating in the air, I felt a rebound as if I was flying back up.
But the result was also quite satisfactory.
Because the central target that the bullet had perfectly pierced through seemed to have been completely erased without even a trace, only a destroyed space was visible.
Immediately after that. As if the fight up until now was all an illusion.
The numerous Hunters around him were shooting their abilities into the air like zombies, as if the strings connecting them to a puppet had snapped.
All of a sudden, without strength, I fell down.
Immediately after that, I was the only one standing on the battlefield.
My whole body was trembling with the breath and heat that was belatedly rising.
