‘Ah, useless bastards…’ … .’
I’ve been stealing other people’s technology and writing it down, and it’s true that even Jeokbanhajang is a fountain of oil. It seemed that Yussus’s remark about being ungrateful was not completely unfounded.
Yussus gradually narrowed the distance.
Eldran was raised above his head.
“Die, you lowly bastard!”
Intense magical power condenses at the tip of the great sword and shines. The spreading light extends in a straight line through the dust, like moonlight in the fog.
Yes, like moonlight in the fog… … .
‘… … Fog?’
Suddenly, Russ’ eyes turned hazy.
The surroundings slowed down. It feels like all time passes slowly.
At the same time, a vision occurred to me.
The white cold fog spreading, Iniya’s incomprehensible auror skill that freezes everything.
‘Breath of the North Sea… … .’
Russ could understand most things after seeing him a few times, but he couldn’t understand that Auror skill. Aside from the fact that instilling cold energy is the power of elemental magic, no matter how much I practiced, I couldn’t figure out how to create countless aura particles and scatter them over a wide area.
So, despite my shame, I asked Iniya directly.
Originally, elves, unlike dwarves and orcs, were not a culture that passed down secrets to anyone. However, perhaps because he wanted to impress Reppenhardt, he willingly taught Iniya as well.
The only problem is… … .
‘What should I do? Well, water can become ice or vapor and become invisible, right? All things change, so embrace that change and let it melt into your life. And all you have to do is embody that image as an Auror.’
I was explaining it kindly to myself, but to others, there was no nonsense like this.
Well, Russ understood. He also has no idea how to explain the use of the Phantom Blade to others. Enlightenment is not something that can be explained in words.
After that, I tried it whenever I had time.
However, no matter how hard one tried, it was impossible to split the aura into particles. Even if we tried to divide the aura as finely as possible, the limit was the size of a grain of sand, and it was impossible to particleize it. Moreover, the control was only about five or six grains of sand.
I couldn’t understand it at all.
It is absurd to turn Aura into particles so small that they cannot be seen, but to individually control countless Aura particles so that they turn into fog? Even if he were a god, this would be impossible.
But Iniya is clearly doing the impossible,
It doesn’t make sense.
‘Yeah, that doesn’t make sense. The breath of the North Sea… … .’
Suddenly I became curious.
Why is the technical name ‘breath’? When it comes to technology that moves auror particles, I think powder or dust would be a more appropriate name. Even if we just look at its appearance, the name “fog” would be more appropriate.
“ah!”
Suddenly, something that had been blocked collapsed and something poured into my head like a waterfall. A waterfall of inspiration began to sweep away all that had been obscured.
I get it.
Iniya does not control particles one by one. Neither she nor anyone else could do such a terrible thing.
‘Yes, she didn’t break the aurors into particles.’
The name of the technology is ‘Breath’ of the North Sea.
Everyone in the world breathes. As you breathe in, take in the air you need for life, and exhale the air you don’t need. The air you inhale and the air you exhale become completely different air through breathing and return to the world.
Inhaling and exhaling means changing a part of the air in the world into a completely different quality.
‘She is changing the phenomenon called Aura into the phenomenon called Fog!’
Russ shuddered as he realized what that meant.
Iniya’s aura transforms matter!
It does not deal with individual particles. It is the material transformation of energy called life energy and aura into the form of fog. And the secret to handling the cold fog is to manipulate the huge lump of fog around as if playing with clay.
The three major elements that can never be controlled by magic: time, space, and matter.
Iniya was implementing a part of material transformation, one of the three major elements, using only the power of Auror.
‘Oh, I see… … .’
Intuition, beyond the realm of understanding, jumps here and there in my mind like a thunderbolt.
Skip the process to find the answer.
Russ also implements part of spatial control, one of the three major elements, solely through the power of Auror. Once I gained enlightenment, I automatically understood what I was lacking.
I was acting stupid.
Phantom Blade?
The name was wrong to begin with.
Giving a name to a technology is to make the image of the technology clearer. As a result, the more you practice the technique, the more solid your image becomes and the more powerful it becomes.
But was it really the Sword of Illusion that Russ wanted?
no.
What he wanted was not a sword that deceived the eyes like an illusion, but a sword that truly played with space.
‘What I wanted… … .’
Existing everywhere and nowhere… … .
‘A sword as empty as the air.’
It is a sword of the heart that cuts down the moment you wish for it and passes by like light if you do not wish for it.
Russ adjusted his sword and looked at Eusus in front of him.
“Die, you lowly bastard!”
The thought was long, but in reality, the time was only a moment. Eusus struck down his sword. As the sword was swung, powerful magical energy trembled.
With a grin, Russ also raised his sword.
The images in my mind were defined by language, and technical names that I had never thought of before naturally flowed out of my mouth.
“Historical sword, Horizon… … .”
Okay, now that I say it out loud, I understand.
This is right.
This is the correct name.
The distant horizon is clearly visible to the eye, but in reality it does not exist. No matter how close you get, there is only another distant horizon at the end.

Jump through the air, raise the empty sword and cut down the existence of something that does not exist!
Paaaat!
Russ’s Blade Auror has disappeared. At the same time, a flash of light appeared on both of Yusus’ knees. Fresh blood filled his thick armor and poured out.
A desperate scream could be faintly heard from inside the helmet.
“… … “Aaaah!”
4
Eussus was lying in a pool of blood.
‘What, what happened…? … ?’
Screaming in pain, Yussus tried to gather his fading mind.
I didn’t understand the situation.
Clearly, this armor was a peerless weapon that could block all of Russ’ attacks. And there was still not the slightest scratch on the golden armor that covered his legs.
But his body protected by that armor was different. Even though you can’t see the clean cut below his knee, the pain is clearly felt.
It was something I couldn’t understand.
Among martial arts, there is definitely a technique that involves striking the armor to pierce the impact and destroy the inside. Such as stacking several bricks and breaking only the middle brick. That’s what Leffenhardt’s Zero Impact is all about.
Eusus’s new armor, Eldril Gigantus, had the function of dissolving all shock through the armor itself in preparation for such types of techniques. Otherwise, no matter how strong the armor was, Yussus would never have been so fine.
But Russ’ offense wasn’t like that. The current blow completely ignored the armor itself and only cut off his main body!
‘How is this possible? … .’
Feeling a sharp pain from below his knees, Yussus screamed and vomited again and again.
“Keuuuuuuu!”
Russ looked at the fallen Yussus with angry eyes. Although his eyes were focused on Yusus, his consciousness was still immersed in the lingering effects of awakening.
‘This goes beyond real space… … .’
I could feel it.
His sword, his Blade Aura, leaps through space.
Rather than simply changing the location of space like the Phantom Blade, it cuts off only the exact part he wanted.
No matter how powerful your armor is, it is meaningless in front of this sword. Because you can ignore the armor and only cut the body inside. Right now I’ve cut off the entire leg, but if I wanted to, I could just cut off the bones, leaving the muscles and tendons intact.
Russ shuddered at his own realization.
‘If only I could handle this sword perfectly… … .’
His sword becomes a deadly sword that no one in the world can avoid!
The corners of Russ’ mouth turned left and right. His eyes shone arrogantly.
“Who can withstand a sword that transcends space? If you swing it, you will definitely hit! Hahahaha!”
Russ’ heart was filled with pride and he was about to burst into laughter. Suddenly, an image of someone passed through my mind.
It was Leppenhardt, a muscular giant who flexed his thick pectoral muscles and calmly accepted the spear knife.
“what?”
I came to my senses. When I thought about it, I thought this still wouldn’t work on Reppenhardt.
A technique that is guaranteed to hit the mark?
What, now, because you couldn’t land a hit, you were getting hit by Reppenhardt?
Isn’t it a problem because no matter how much you cut, it won’t work?
There is no point in ignoring the armor and cutting the body. The body itself is armor, so what?
Ignoring the bones and muscles and cutting only the internal organs is of no use to the descendants of that terrible Jim Unbreakable. Because it’s a strange mumun that uses its stomach and duodenum to provide auror guard.
Unless your skills have improved to the point where you can deal a fatal blow to that formidable body with just the Blade Aura, there is little point in using a hollow sword that is just a technique.
After my head cooled down, I could only see reality.
‘If it doesn’t work for you, it won’t work for Lord Kalken…’ … .’
Although it is not as strong as Jim Unbreakable, Kalken’s body, which has a strong body unique to Orcs, is not usually strong. Even if the empty sword hits, it will be able to push through with its unique destructive power.
Stalado, Iniyado, Atilcado… … They were still warriors who had reached a higher level than that. No matter how much he reached a new level, he still had a long way to go.
Fish style… … .
My pride disappeared like a deflated balloon. Russ’ complexion returned to normal.
‘No, this isn’t something I can laugh at because I’m good at it, I…’ … .’
Although Russ himself was not aware of it, this was quite a desirable phenomenon.
Most Auror users enter a new level through awakening and continue to follow that level for a long time. Excited by that amazing realization, you forget the state you have entered and give yourself over to the joy.
So, while most martial arts teachers teach how to control one’s mind and control oneself, Russ was very weak in that regard because he was such a natural genius. If he had left himself to his own pride, it might have taken him a few more years to relearn the air sword he had mastered.
As the excitement disappeared, the feeling of swinging the empty sword again enveloped my entire body. Russ calmly reflected on that sensation.
I almost did something stupid.
‘I am not yet qualified to be arrogant.’
Russ turned his attention to Eusus. With both legs cut off, he was lying face down on the ground and struggling to raise his upper body.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, me the guy like that… … To such a lowly bastard… … .”
Even though he crawls on the ground with a miserable appearance, his eyes still burn with hatred.
‘Time to finish.’
