<Aaron Side Story Episode 36>

4. Those who crave power for themselves (7)

Plains at dusk.

A typhoon rages.

Originally, the wind did not blow in this dimension.

The airflow created by the clash between the two wrapped around the area like a tornado.

However, it was as quiet as the place where the two heroes collided head-on.

The ground they stood on was like the eye of a hurricane.

The black shadow and the hem of the long cloth sometimes passed as if intertwined, and the black light and the black light flashed.

‘In the world, how strong is it?’

Aaron couldn’t hide his surprise.

The sword of one thousand miles can be moved only by thinking, and it is a divine method that does not even require a preparation posture, that is, the ultimate movement technique.

Even at this moment, Aaron appeared and disappeared in all directions, aiming for the vital points of Lidigion.

Still can’t reach

Even if you try to cheat while teleporting repeatedly, you won’t get over it.

Every time the spear is stabbed, it dodges and passes it like a ghost.

Along with him, the sword light cut through Aaron’s body.

can’t even escape

That man’s foresight surpassed Aaron’s thinking speed.

“… … .”

While Aaron moves flamboyantly, leaving shadows everywhere.

There is no wastage in Lidigion’s movements.

He was steadily parrying the attack, and he was carving a sure blow into Aaron’s body.

Jungjungdong (still middle movement).

If you can read your opponent’s moves, a single move is enough.

Despite raising its output that much, Ridigion was ahead of Aaron by dozens of numbers.

‘I would have an overwhelming advantage.’

It was a ridiculous fight.

Even if that man is wounded only once, he is fatally wounded.

But you have hundreds of opportunities.

only once.

You only need to stab the window once.

Still, Aaron was struggling because he couldn’t do that.

At first glance, it looks fierce, but it isn’t.

Had it not been for the effect of Dream Ghost, which allowed all attacks to pass, Aaron would have died over a hundred times and been scattered on the ground.

‘Kill until death.’

Lydigion declared so.

Indeed, the declaration is being made.

Aaron has spent many years pursuing his dream, but that time is not forever.

Although there are no limits to dreams, there were limits to Aaron.

‘How much is left?’

When the dream ends, the miracle in Aaron’s body also leaves.

Returning to the weak who couldn’t do anything.

damn.

It has to be done before that.

Fighting like this is just a waste.

Aaron moved his body farther back.

“Is this the end?”

Lidigion gripped the hilt loosely.

Aaron didn’t respond.

I just remembered the next number.

‘Master said that he fought on an equal footing with that man.’

no.

may have surpassed

That’s why this guy is trying to test himself so severely.

‘It can’t go on like this.’

Even a deadly demonic spear is useless if it doesn’t reach it.

In order to compensate for the weakness, the body output was increased and various techniques were mixed, but it did not work.

‘Faster and stronger?’

Aaron shook his head.

The remaining power is not enough for that.

Compared to the years his mentor had accumulated, Aaron’s dreams were absurdly shallow.

‘then.’

I have no choice but to dig deeper.

into his forgotten memories.

Master must have left a way.

Didn’t you say you’d fought that monster before?

Aaron’s eyes opened.

“Did you remember?”

“… … yes.”

“Then come.”

Aaron laughed mischievously.

Pod!

The model appears on the right.

The silver spear blade flew like a wedge.

‘It spreads a shadow.’

Right before the spear edge touched the man’s chest.

Aaron’s hand gripped the spearhead twisted.

[mountain]

[water shadow]

Ugh!

The shadows sway.

Hundreds of shadows spread from the tip of the spear.

Each shadow rippled like a wave and covered the man’s body.

“… … .”

Ridigion backed away as if leaping sideways.

Instead of passing the attack with minimal movement, he avoided the spot altogether.

“Feel so good. Did you take the next step?”

“For an opponent like you, moon shadows are useless.”

“Did you know that now?”

“I’m sorry. Because I lack talent.”

“I just needed to know.”

are you kidding me

Aaron took a deep breath and held the spearhead firmly.

Pod!

This time it appears right in front of you.

As I stabbed the spear, the shadows rushed like waves.

However, the man did not miss the delicate gap between the shadows.

I swung my sword from the side, avoiding it as if showing off.

Round 2 has begun.

‘It spreads the shadow widely.’

As a side rather than a line.

As if spreading a net, the shadow stretches out to block the escape route.

The water shadow was an optimized technique for it.

Once stabbed.

Hundreds of shadows pop out and cover all sides.

Its shape is like the flow of an endless river.

Compared to the shadow of the moon, its power is lower, but its accuracy is incomparable.

Lidigion’s evasion became more intense.

sideways.

backwards.

forward again.

The man, who did not move much from his place, was slipping and stepping here and there.

Each wave of shadow has physical power.

It was like hundreds of people stabbing at the same time.

‘I can’t miss it.’

Don’t catch me this time

Aaron appeared on top of Lydigion and thrust his spear down.

The spears, which spread to hundreds, wrapped around the man and hit him.

There is nowhere to escape.

No matter how exquisite the method of avoiding it, the space itself to take out the body does not exist at all.

Even if it’s a god… … .

Kang!

cheerful sound.

The blade of the sword ricocheted the window.

Lydigion stood tall on the spot.

“… … .”

spam.

Lydigion passed Aaron, who fell down, and cut him.

“Instead of collecting shadows, they spread them. If so, it must be something that can be stopped with this sword.”

“… … !”

“Awaken more.”

yet.

Not yet.

before falling to the ground.

Aaron’s body disappeared and reappeared above the Lidigion.

[mountain]

[water shadow]

Shadows spread in all directions.

Kang!

always blocked

‘then!’

Papapapapapang!

stab countless times

Thousands of windows covered the heavens and the earth.

It’s not a trick.

Each one had physical power.

There seemed to be nowhere to escape.

can not avoid.

I can’t avoid it.

Pod!

Aaron, who jumped into the higher sky, swung his spear long.

[mountain]

[Flower Shadow]

The shadowed window drew a semicircle.

A black flower bloomed in the jet-black trail.

According to some legend.

It is said that if you reach the extreme of fantasy, you can make flowers bloom with your sword.

It proves that it has reached a certain level.

The flower blossomed with the sword was the essence of martial arts with a hundred meanings and a thousand changes.

Those who have not even entered the path of nothing are blooming those flowers.

Of course, it is not a true flower.

It is only a shadow reflected on the back of the flower.

Each leaf of the flower blossomed with a sword contains a deep sense of enlightenment and has a profound fragrance.

A flower that blooms in the shadow has no scent and no appearance.

It was a clumsy imitation.

Even so, even if it is the shadow of a flower reflected in the river.

Each leaf contains dreams and tears.

Whoops!

Every time the spear draws a trajectory, the shadow blooms a jet-black flower.

Every time a flower bud opens, shadows with countless changes scatter and sweep everywhere.

hundreds.

thousands.

tens of thousands of shadows.

There is no target to aim for now.

Rather, that would be better.

If you’re going to avoid it anyway.

Cover the whole world with the shadows of water and flowers.

Whoa!

A shadow rushes around Aaron.

Standing in the sky, he was stabbing his spear into the air at random.

Whenever that happens, waves of shadow cover the front.

A flower made of shadows bloomed and formed branches.

can not avoid.

I can’t avoid it.

now i don’t see anything

Everywhere I could see was covered in dark shadows, like pitch black.

“… … .”

But in the distance, in the thick darkness, I see a sword light that removes the shadows.

Even though I should have been swept away and reduced to dust.

‘How could that be?’

I don’t understand.

I couldn’t understand how I could survive in that storm.

I know it in my head.

It’s probably creating space while cutting out the shadows that flock to it.

so how do you do that?

Already this wilderness is buried in the shadow of infinity.

Just standing there will be torn apart by the waves of shadow.

Still, the man did not fall.

only like this

Isn’t it like crossing a stormy sea in the middle of the night with an old raft?

‘Right.’

I don’t know if I didn’t need to understand.

That man won’t understand himself either.

On the one hand, I thought I was lucky.

If you had halfway talent, what would you have thought when you saw that man?

It was a wall that could not be overcome.

“I will go.”

said Aaron.

I don’t know if that guy is listening or not.

‘I didn’t have to drag it out for a long time.’

In the end, if only it was going to end like this.

Victory and defeat had to be decided with a single collision.

Anything you do to that man is a waste.

No matter what magic you cast, it won’t work.

Whoa oh oh!

The shadows that drove in from all directions are lifted.

The shadows that spread all over the place were sucked into Aaron’s body again.

The pitch black world regained its scenery.

In front of me, a man in a long robe lowered his sword.

There are no scratches on his body.

Even the end of the sleeve of the long cloth was not cut.

Can we call this a win?

“Come.”

Ridigion said.

“yes.”

Aaron answered.

took a stance afterwards.

left hand forward. right hand back.

Keep your shoulders and feet parallel.

billions of times.

It was a posture that had been repeated thousands of times.

Aaron couldn’t go any further.

I couldn’t taste Rannachal’s technique nor the state after that.

But the dream is not over.

Even if it is a strength built up through lies and fantasies.

The longing for that dream was not a lie.

Whoa!

A black shadow began to roll in.

swirl

Smoke billowed as it wrapped around the tip of the spear.

‘I put everything in this blow.’

There is only one chance of winning.

A blow of inevitability that no one could ever evade or block.

I had to do this from the beginning.

One stab was enough.

Aaron drew it from the heart.

Tens of thousands of flowers blooming in branches and leaves.

The flow of the arrogant river leading under the fluttering petals.

covers the whole world

Paint the world with your dreams.

reality into fantasy.

fantasy as a shadow.

Took.

Aaron, lightly hitting the ground, ran out.

Pour out all remaining spirits.

A silver spearhead shot at Lydigion’s neck.

The moment the sting advances.

The shadows that had lingered on the edge of the window flowed out.

A fragment of a pitch-black dream.

Like ink on drawing paper, jet black spreads out and fills the world.

[mountain]

[Flower Shadow]

The shadows made countless flowers bloom and scattered leaves.

There is no scent whatsoever.

It is not a flower that blooms with enlightenment.

only a shadow

[mountain]

[water shadow]

Shadows flowed like a river and covered the area.

This is also not the state of nothingness.

It is not a river flowing through enlightenment.

It’s just a fantasy.

Just a shadow, a fleeting illusion.

It’s just a lie that will disappear when the sun rises.

No one will admit that this technique is a martial art.

but it seems

If you long for it, you will see it in the petals and in the waves.

How much blood and tears are contained in each scattering petal.

How much frustration and despair are contained in each drop of water that forms the river.

Even if it was flowers and water that bloomed in lies, dreams shimmered transparently in them.

[joint]

[Nakhwa flow water]

A shadow swept the world.

after a while

the shadows lifted

The plains regained the stillness as if it had never happened.

There were two men standing there.
