Boundless Necromancer - Chapter 89
089. Changcheon Sword Dragon (4)
The first feeling I felt after the fall at transcendental speed was regret.
「The ghost has absorbed the damage inflicted on the user.」
「The shadow of the shadow has disappeared.」 “
The shadow of the shadow has disappeared…”
Extinct…”
Even after replenishing mana, all remaining spirits fall into the passive shield.
My vision was completely red, so I couldn’t tell what was going on.
I can only guess from the fact that I can think that my brain isn’t hurt that badly.
「The skill ‘Ashen Blood’ is activated.」
「All types of pain inflicted on the user are reduced by 40%.」
As if there were no senses in the whole body, nothing was felt.
But one thing I know for sure is that I am not in a normal state right now.
I couldn’t see, I couldn’t hear, and my touch was so dull that it seemed almost non-existent.
It was clear to me that I was seriously injured.
It was to the point where it seemed like a lie that he had defended himself with Yeoncheol’s pendant or the vampire count’s old tailcoat.
It was stupid.
I really thought I had become a transcendent being, and I didn’t even think about taking care of it.
Of course, seeing as he was still alive and using his skills, he wouldn’t have been wrong at all.
‘I’ll have to think about taking care of myself later.’
Even so, I didn’t want to move all the time to the extent that my body was broken.
「The mastery of the skill ‘Ashen Blood’ rises by 20% with the death penalty.」
…No, seeing the proficiency rise like this, I think it’s okay to move a little tougher.
Within a complex state of mind in many ways, I soon felt my vision slowly return.
At the same time, the senses of the whole body, which were stiff as if completely paralyzed, returned and excruciating pain came.
“…”
I wondered why I didn’t feel anything, and the situation I was in was more serious than I thought.
Fortunately, it was not allowed to attack from the outside because it was covered with steel wings.
The legs in the lower part of the body were completely crushed, and the shape was unrecognizable, and the left hand was not seen where it flew.
of course-.
‘This will play again.’
Injuries that would be difficult to undo even with a recovery potion began to heal within seconds.
The bone of the broken leg is reborn, the skin is added, and the lower half of the body returns.
The missing left hand wriggled from the wrist, and soon reproduced the shape of the hand.
Indeed, I moved my hand feeling relieved that I had synthesized the gray blood skill in the waiting room before.
Thanks to his right hand, he was safely holding the Blood Heaven Demon Sword he had been wearing.
The old tailcoat of the Vampire Count did not show much damage either.
At that, I slowly rose from my seat, spreading the steel wings that enveloped my entire body.
Patter.
Rising from the rubble, I stepped out of the rubble with my wobbly legs.
In the meantime, I collected all the blood in my mouth, spat it out, and muttered something lamentable.
“…falling from the real sky is something you can’t do twice.”
That was the moment.
“Who are you?”
I immediately turned my head and looked in the direction from which the words had been heard.
Soon after, I was shocked to see a young man in a blue uniform standing there.
“…”
Changcheon Sword Dragon Namgoonghyeok was not seriously injured, contrary to what I had assumed.
Of course, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, but there were no outwardly serious injuries like mine.
‘Why…’
The rush that came with that fall was, to be honest, the most lethal attack I could make.
Even if I didn’t have infinite utility like swordsmanship, I was certain that I could do the best I could in terms of killing.
Even so, there were almost no proper wounds, so I had no choice but to be embarrassed.
However, as soon as he saw his swollen right hand and the sword held in that hand.
I was able to understand why Namgung-hyeok was fine in a direction I didn’t want to imagine.
“…you hit me.”
I was wrapped in steel wings and fell, and in that moment I was struck down with a sword.
No, to be more precise, he would have driven me away with a sword.
But that fact alone made me nervous.
It was the earlier charge that he gathered all the mana in his body and crashed into Namgung-hyeok.
However, Namgoong-hyeok properly recognized the sudden surprise attack and sent it away as if striking it with a sword.
however-.
“―Didn’t this Confucius ask you? Who are you?”
There was no time for him to feel astonished.
Kaaang!
“…”
I had no choice but to frown as I blocked the rushing sword with the Blood Demon Sword.
It was strong.
Namgoong-hyeok not only had sword skills, but also had considerable physical abilities.
My hands tremble and my arms feel like they’re about to break if I’m just competing.
But that’s why I was bluffing and staring straight at Namgung-hyeok as I spoke.
“I searched for him so desperately, but when I met him, I didn’t even know who he was.”
The moment Namgung-hyeok opened his mouth, frowning at the words he had almost sneered at.
“…What is that—.”
“I don’t know if I can find out if I do this.”
I immediately raised the corner of my mouth while injecting the magic within my body into the sword.
「The authority ‘Sword Merchant’ is activated.」
「The skill, ‘Sword Sword Merchant’ is activated.」
Gripping—!
In the moment I witnessed the torrent of thunderstorms swirling around the blade.
Namgoong-hyeok’s eyes changed and he opened his mouth in amazement.
“Sword skill…!?”
and-.
“I am the challenger Han Seong-yoon.”
At that moment, I roared as I drove Namgoonghyuk’s sword like a storm.
***
Faced with an opponent I could never defeat, I squeezed all my strength.
「The skill ‘Instantaneous Acceleration’ is activated.」
My muscles and bones creaked and my body was damaged by the movement beyond the limit.
Due to the effect of the skill, the mana flowing through the body runs wild and the blood vessels are torn.
Is it because of the unexpected movement, or if it is because of overcoming the limit right away?
The body sounds an alarm and shouts that if you cross the line, you will not be able to return.
And I gave the original warning of life that was passed like that…
「The skill ‘Grace of Wind’ is activated.」
「All speeds increase by 70%.」
「Current skill overlap progress – 7/7」
Don’t worry for a second and ignored it.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Even though there is no retreat from each other.
Asphalt roads shatter due to mere clashes of sheer force.
Of course, even in the midst of that, Namgung-hyeok only slightly raised his eyebrows as if he was surprised.
“Is it a swordsman?”
He didn’t bleed from his mouth or shake his arms like I did.
Even before I knew it, the sword in Namgung-hyeok’s hand was filled with sword spirit.
“I can’t believe I stole Baek Seon-hak’s sword…”
Ignoring Namgoong-hyeok, who suddenly started to raise his voice.
As if to pierce that momentary gap, I twisted the sword that was facing me right away and aimed at Namgung-hyeok’s neck.
Namgoonghyeok leaned back to avoid the blade as it slipped away like a snake, then clicked his tongue.
“If you are full of thoughts of useless fighting. This is why the challenger at the minor level is…”
Then, without stopping, I started swinging my sword around Namgung-hyeok.
Chaechaechaeng!
However, Namgung-hyeok countered all of the sword strikes even with his right hand swollen.
“Your poor swordsmanship.”
It was as it was said.
Currently, the iron-blooded monarch guessed that Namgoong-hyeok’s swordsmanship skill was grade A.
However, the level of my swordsmanship skill is only C, so I have no choice but to be satisfied.
Nevertheless, I had skills to supplement my lack of swordsmanship skills.
「The skill ‘Frenzy Swordplay (C+)’ is activated.」
「Increases sword attack speed by 20%.」
「Current skill overlap progress – 10/10」
But it wasn’t enough.
Like a sword play, they make scripts and put them together.
Namgung-hyeok blocked every sword I threw out as if it were ridiculous.
Minimizing movements, blocking all blades that threaten the body, and occasionally shedding blades.
“Looks like the only thing you stole from White Shen Crane is sword skill.”
There was an absolute wall that could not be crossed there.
But from the start, I didn’t think I could beat Namgoong-hyeok with a sword.
It was only for one moment that she rushed at him so zealously.
Roaring!
“…!?”
Unexpectedly, a fire breaks out behind Namgoong-hyeok, and the flames spread around him. 「By the authority ‘suppression of fire’, the ability of the person
who touches the flame is greatly reduced.」
「By the user of the authority ‘suppression of fire’, you become temporarily immune to the flame.」
I looked away.
“The authority has been activated…! Don’t die until another challenger arrives!”
Soon after, I came across the rubble of the building and noticed Catherine shouting at me, as if telling me not to push myself any further.
Only then did Namgung-hyeok get angry as if he realized that I hadn’t attacked him without thinking.
“I’ll make you regret interfering with Confucius’ fight just for the sake of bugs.”
Namgoong-hyeok nervously turned around and immediately moved forward as if he was going to kill Catherine.
It didn’t reach me, who activated all skills and had transcendent mobility.
Kaaang!
Swords collide with each other, sparks fly, and the gap between them is newly measured.
In the meantime, I said with a smirk, convinced that Namgung-hyeok had weakened.
“Did you ask if I stole the sword of Baekseonhak?”
“…”
“Soon I will be using your sword too.”
“A mere minor challenger dares to deceive Confucius with false martial arts…!!”
That was the moment.
“I guess you didn’t think that you could be defeated by such a small challenger.”
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Kim Seung-hoon, who appeared with thunderbolts wrapped around his body, immediately swung the Ohhamma at Namgoong-hyuk.
Namgoong-hyeok frowned at the attack, but immediately backed away from me and immediately took up defense.
Kaaang!
It must have been quite a shock, but Namgung-hyeok was pushed back and had to
hurriedly regain his balance.
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
“I will help too.”
It was a skill activated by Oh Chun-seok, who had the magic book open in one hand before he knew it.
Namgoong-hyeok, after blocking the ice bombardment, gnashed his teeth as if he was annoyed, then opened his mouth.
“…It really annoys me that it doesn’t diminish even after I kill it.”
In an instant, Namgoong-hyeok’s eyes split open like those of a reptile and began to breathe life.
An unknown chill ran through my body, and I sensed that a crisis was approaching.
sense.
A conclusion reached only by sheer instinct whispered to me.
Now, the ruler of the blue sky that no one can handle has awakened.
however-.
“It would be frustrating wearing a mask, so let’s send it in advance.”
Before he could properly respond to that intuition, Namgung-hyeok moved faster.
As if the space was folded at the moment Namgung-hyeok stretched out his leg, his new body appeared in front of Kim Seung-hun.
Accurately, Namgoong-hyeok struck with his left fist as if he was going to break Kim Seung-hoon’s black mask.
Even in that situation, Kim Seung-hoon tried to counterattack right away, but his body flew faster before that.
Aaaaaaaaaagh!
Leaving behind Kim Seung-hoon, who flew into the wreckage of the building, Namgung-hyuk immediately changed his target.
Not to anyone else, but to Catherine, who is putting restrictions on him.
Of course, Oh Chun-seok hurriedly activated his magic-type skills and opened the ice barrier….
Even under the proper restrictions, Kim Seung-hun did not work for those who were capable of flying at once.
Kwajangchang!
At the same time as the ice barrier collapsed, Namgung-hyuk stretched out his sword at Oh Chun-seok as if to kill him.
Moving right there, I slashed Namgoong-hyeok’s sword and fired at him in the form of a slash.
visor!
“Yeah, now that it’s like this, I’ll take care of you first.”
Namgoong-hyeok lightly blocked the lightning-attributed flash sword and smiled.
Soon he reached out his hand to me and grasped the air as if he had grabbed me.
“Forced duel.”
and-.
「Due to the unique characteristic ‘Forced duel’, a duel area is formed within a radius of 30m.」
At that moment, a white curtain of light spread from Namgoonghyeok’s hands as if a trap was unfolding. 「Except challenger Han Seong-yoon and challenger Namgoong-hyeok
, entry into the duel area is prohibited.」
「The duel area is maintained for 10 minutes and this area cannot be destroyed.」
“….”
The moment when the ‘territory’ was formed and only me and Namgoong-hyuk remained around.
“I didn’t want to use it, but… Since I also had restrictions on my shoulders, let’s call them the same restrictions.”
He looked at me muttering dissatisfiedly and then said:
“I’ll make it clear to you that everything you use is just an imitation of martial arts.”
It was the beginning of an unanswerable battle.
