Auto Hunting With My Clones - Chapter 174
< The Duke's Disciple (3) >
Although he didn’t understand what Kairin said, Sang-woo stood up to the gym.
Blame it – Sang-
woo seems to have jumped really lightly, but he flew off and stood in the middle of the gym in an instant.
Seeing that, the eyes of the Raven Knights waiting around changed.
‘It’s strong.’
‘Who is it.’
‘It’s a person I haven’t seen before. The outfit is also unique.’
The knights felt unusual because he was already a majestic appearance, but Sang-woo’s light movements made him feel unusual.
And the same goes for Karin.
‘I can’t be careless.’
As the granddaughter of Duke Raven, Kairin has outstanding skills.
Of course, she was also able to move about as much as Sang-woo just before.
So there was no reason for her to be so nervous.
However, there was something unknown about Sang-woo, so I couldn’t help but be nervous.
Maybe it’s because of Sang-woo’s expression, where he can’t find the tension, smiling faintly while looking at him.
Karin suddenly felt bad.
‘Don’t ignore it.’
With that thought, she pulled out the sword she was wearing on her right waist.
Crim –
A sword that was pulled out with a clear sound.
It was a standard longsword in size and shape.
However, when a green aura was added on top of it and sharpness was added, the momentum seemed different.
Chuck-
Kairin put her left hand out slightly and pointed the tip of her sword at Sang-woo while standing flat.
“Get ready.”
She ordered Sang-woo to prepare.
However, Sang-woo just stared at Kai-rin without any preparation.
“Can we start?”
Two people who can’t communicate with each other, so they just talk about themselves.
And Raven and Nigel, who were watching it.
Nigel relayed her words to Sang-woo.
-Since you are Sangwoo’s older brother’s disciple, you should be comfortable with your words.
“Ah yes. Nigel.”
– Thank you. Anyway, Kairin says let’s get ready to start now.
“Are you ready? ah.”
Sang-woo, who was standing bare-chested as usual, opened the sub-space as if he knew it only then.
[Sub-Space]
A black hole formed in the air, and when I put my hand in and pulled it out,
a silver sword,
a wind spirit that looked unusual even at a glance, appeared.
Ea, the sword that Raven currently possesses, and the twin sword, Wind Spirit.
It was a rare sword made by Dubern.
In addition, more functions were added to Wind Spirit than Ea, so it was already clear that Kairin’s inferiority was already evident with the sword alone.
‘Can I use this.’
In fact, it would have been better to take out the normal sword that was given to the clones for supply.
However, Sang-woo took out the wind spirit out of habit, but judging from the current momentum, it would be rude to put the sword back in, so Sang-woo just listened to the wind spirit.
“It is a good sword.”
Kairin said that, but Sangwoo didn’t understand and just stood there with the tip of his sword facing the floor.
Just by looking at his appearance, he seemed so defenseless and unnerved.
‘Are you ignoring me?’
Kairin was suddenly taken aback by the way he wasn’t too nervous against her.
And that was right.
Because Sang-woo wasn’t nervous about her at all.
Of course, it was rude to stay like this, but since I hadn’t experienced sparring apart from my master, Raven, I wasn’t aware that this was a big rude thing.
Anyway, against Raven, who is extremely strong, he raised his sword and prepared himself for the perfect situation.
They are alter egos. Because they move according to the FM (Field Manual: field manual. Meaning similar to ‘standard’, ‘sample’, and ‘guidebook’), they were always nervous when training with Raven, so they went to training with perfect posture.
Anyway, his attitude irritated Kairin.
So, she started moving right away.
“going.”
Since it was a match, Kairin gave the signal to start out of courtesy.
At the same time, her body was projected forward.
Blame-
She quickly closed the distance to the point where the distance of about 4 to 5 meters with Sang-Woo was meaningless, and then
stabbed
her sword into Sang-Woo.
A neat stab with a snap of the wrist and elbow.
The movement was so good that it was so fast that I didn’t even know when it was stabbed.
However.
Chang-
Her sword was slightly pushed aside by Sang-woo’s sword, which may have been lifted at some point.
It didn’t block it in the form of a block, but it was just a look of raising the sword and slightly deflecting it from the path of the sword.
‘fast.’
Kairin was embarrassed and nervous at the same time because he couldn’t see Sang-woo’s arm movement properly, and said,
‘It’s slow.’
Sang-woo was thinking, ‘As expected, it’s not a big deal’.
In his eyes, Kairin’s movements were so slow that he almost yawned.
Of course, yawning for real is a big disrespect, so I just thought about it and didn’t put it into action.
‘…Are you ignoring me?’
However, the woman’s touch was scary.
In Sang-woo’s relaxed expression, she instinctively sensed that he was being looked down upon.
That’s why she wants to win even more.
‘…what are you…’
Anger toward the other person rose little by little.
Then, rather than the original desire to confirm the successor of the Stormbringer sword method, the desire to give him a proper blow grew stronger.
So she immediately tried to push away Sang-woo’s sword.
If he pushed the blocked sword aside, he could cut Sang-woo’s head right away.
Creepy –
However, the sword doesn’t even move enough to make you wonder if it’s right that a person is holding the sword.
The sword in Sang-woo’s right hand looked as if it were tightly engaged with a mechanical press.
That’s why only the sound of the sword scraping was noisy.
‘…then.’
She immediately removed the sword and used that power to rotate her body, aiming for the left waist on the other side of Sang-woo.
Kkong-
However, Sang-woo blocked the left side by spinning the sword he was holding upright.
Even though the aura was not applied to the sword, perhaps because the sword was superior, she could easily block the sword with Kairin’s aura.
No, it was easily blocked.
‘Fast and strong.’
Seeing that her opponent could easily block her with only a few moves compared to her big moves, Kairin decided to change her strategy.
Susuk-
The leg that seemed to be planted in the ground to pour a powerful blow was finally removed from the ground and started to move.
As if he was about to attack, Kairin circled around Sang-woo, looking for an opening.
And Sang-woo looks at Kai-rin while standing still to her beat.
It was similar to how it looked at the beginning.
defenseless attitude.
However, after seeing Sang-woo’s strength and fast movement with a solid sword, Kai-rin couldn’t jump in as easily as before despite such a defenseless appearance.
Even his flimsy appearance now came to me like a big wall.
‘…There are no gaps.’
It was Kairin who couldn’t figure out where to attack.
And Raven and Nigel, who accurately grasped her psychology.
-The results seem to have already come out.
-okay. You probably can’t see the gap right now… Sangwoo-kun is amazing.
Nigel said as if he understood Kairin’s feelings.
In fact, it was the feeling he felt a lot when he sparred with his older brother.
And Raven agrees with that statement.
-then. Who is my friend? haha.
He was the one who had become an outcast (?) before he knew it.
And Nigel was unfamiliar with such an older brother.
‘The man he considered the best…’
The Raven he knew wasn’t arrogant, but he wasn’t humble either.
That’s why no one acknowledged it well, but Raven, who was so stubborn, showed the appearance of acknowledging others.
‘In many ways you are a great person.’
That’s why Nigel came to rate Sang-woo even more highly.
Anyway, regardless of what the two of them thought, Kairin was having a hard time.
Even the Raven Knights, who were watching from the sidelines, felt that their defeat was already deep, and they circled around Sang-woo dozens of times, unable to even raise their swords once.
And even though she was just walking around, her whole body was drenched in sweat.
‘…If I go on like this, nothing will happen.’
And Kairin finally chose a different strategy, as if she felt that she had no chance of winning if she went on like this.
She immediately brought the sword behind her back and took a stance for a big swing.
Sang-woo, who was a little bored with that appearance, was finally happy.
‘Oh, finally attack. But the movements are familiar, aren’t they?’
By the time Sang-woo thought so.
As expected, Kairin’s sword swung wide.
Shaak-
However, the sword’s range did not reach Sang-woo’s yet, so the sword just passed through the air.
And that wasn’t the end.
Her body rotated again along with the passing sword.
And it started spinning without stopping.
One turn
,
two turns ,
three turns
… As more rotations were added, her body spun like a top, and the sword swung around as if it would cut down everything around it.
like a blender.
And Sang-woo knew that technique very well.
‘Is it a whirlwind?’
Yes.
The technique she used was the 4th stage whirlwind of the Stormbringer sword method.
‘They said they couldn’t learn the Stormbringer sword, so what?’
Of course, compared to Sangwoo’s casting whirlwind, the casting speed was a bit ambiguous.
That’s when Sang-woo starts to have doubts.
Kairin’s whirlwind slash seemed to have finally gained enough rotational power, and it quickly rushed into Sang-woo, showing off fierce momentum.
Whee-a-a-a-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaeg-
A tremendous momentum as if it were going to change everything.
However, when Sang-woo slipped his sword in,
go go-!
I heard the sound of swords clashing against each other.
Crack-!
There was the sound of pieces of metal breaking.
Unable to overcome the power of the Whirlwind Slash and the hardness of the Wind Spirit, Kairin’s sword broke.
Blades scattered in all directions along with him.
Broken pieces of the sword bounced all over the arena and even toward Kairin like daggers.
‘Oh…’
Sang-woo didn’t know that the sword would break.
No, to be precise, I didn’t know that it would pour in all directions like a dagger so sharp.
However, a moment of embarrassment.
In an instant, he responded using his skills.
[Psychokinetic power]
At the same time, the overwhelming energy engulfed all directions, and all the sword blades that were bouncing in all directions stopped in the air.
At the same time, because the rotation was forcibly stopped, Kairin, who seemed to have almost fainted from the shock, also stopped collapsing in the air without collapsing to the ground.
All of that happened in the blink of an eye, less than a second.
However, the people watching all of this were superhumans.
The Raven Knights, who were surprised to see the blades bouncing, were embarrassed to see them floating in the air while trying to avoid it belatedly.
‘what.’
‘I think it was a dangerous situation.’
They panicked, but didn’t make the mistake of spitting out their thoughts and waited for control to come down.
Just silently staring at Nigel, Duke of Raven.
However, he seemed to be taken aback by the sudden situation and stood still with his eyes wide open.
-Are you okay?
Instead, Raven next to him asked Sang-woo.
“are you okay.”
Sangwoo shrugged and replied.
However, it wasn’t Sang-woo that Raven asked.
-Not you. are you strong that’s karin
“Are you Kairin? I’ll be fine…”
Sang-woo answered and looked at Kai-rin.
In fact, since Kairin was standing at the center of the rotation, the blades didn’t bounce too much, and it must have stopped right before they attacked, so there was no damage.
And when I peeked at his face earlier, he was fortunately unharmed.
‘…no, he’s hurt.’
However, looking at it now, Kairin’s arms, which seemed to have passed out, tightly gripped the sword were twisted here and there.
It must have been injured by the impact of the clashing swords.
Even the iron armor that surrounded her body on the outside was bent, so there was no way that Kairin’s arms inside could be intact.
‘Oh, I bought this again.’
It wasn’t intentional, but as soon as he came to the master’s family, he hurt his acquaintances or his family.
Sang-woo answered with cold sweat inside.
“…I’m a bit hurt.”
– You’re hurt too. Somehow, the shape of the arm is a bit strange. I’ll have to look at the details.
When Raven said that, Nigel got up too, probably worried.
They are about to come up to the gymnasium.
Sang-woo tried to destroy (?) the evidence to quickly settle the case.
[
Sacred
Power]
[Great Heal]
He tried to heal Kairin.
Then, a bright golden light formed all over her body.
‘Please please please please…’ He
couldn’t see how much his arm was injured because it was covered by the iron armor, so he didn’t know the details.
[Sacred power]
[Sacred power]
[Sacred power]
[Sacred power]
…Is it because it consumed a lot of mana?
Then, even though the level was low, a tremendous golden light was concentrated on Kairin’s body, especially her arms, just like when Bless used it.
Sabu and Nigel arrived after such a moment of time.
She hardened her complexion as she looked at Kairin’s twisted armour, floating in the air.
