The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 180
◈ Episode 180. Dragon Descend (4)
The black dragon’s eyes widen for an instant.
The first thing you see is Kim Joo-hyuk smiling confidently.
The next thing we saw was the dark-colored sword that was blocking the red lightning coming down.
The last thing he saw was his right arm flying in the air.
The right arm of a black dragon swimming in a sky full of dark clouds with red blood.
“…!”
The time it took to recognize the situation was a split second.
‘how?’
Black Dragon’s thoughts accelerate.
He apparently threw lightning on Kim Joo-hyuk’s head to prevent him from blocking his attack.
Kim Joo-hyuk blocked the lightning using a silent sword, just as the black dragon intended.
With that, the black dragon leaped forward and stabbed Kim Joo-hyuk’s heart with his right hand.
That’s it.
Yeah, that should have been the end of it.
However, the current situation was very different from what the black dragon thought.
The ink-colored sword that was blocking the lightning had already cut through his right arm.
Obviously, the right arm that had to mercilessly dig into Martial God’s chest and pull out the heart was flying in the sky.
fault-!
Black Dragon, noticing this fact, immediately pulls back and widens the distance between Kim Joo-hyuk and Kim Joo-hyuk.
At that, Kim Joo-hyuk smiled and raised his ink-colored sword.
The black dragon frowned.
Because his right arm was blown off?
no.
So, is it because you feel bad?
That’s not it either.
There was only one reason why the black dragon frowned in this situation.
‘I didn’t see it.’
He didn’t see Martial God’s attack.
The black dragon was looking at Martial God from the moment it dropped the lightning, and was also looking at him the moment it aimed at his heart.
Nevertheless, the black dragon did not notice.
The moment he swings his sword.
“You didn’t really think you would be fooled by such a simple trick, did you?”
Seeing the black dragon’s expression, Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth with a smile on his face.
Of course, the move that Black Dragon attempted against Kim Joo-hyuk was not a very sophisticated tactic.
However, just because it was not a sophisticated tactic that took a lot of thought, it did not mean that it was a tactic that anyone could easily destroy.
The lightning struck by the black dragon was fast.
The movement of the black dragon, which had absorbed all the constellations and doped its abilities, was so fast that Kim Joo-hyuk could not catch up with it.
“There was a trick hidden away.”
The black dragon’s murmur.
“Then you didn’t think I would just die for nothing, right?”
“…That doesn’t make sense.”
When Kim Joo-hyuk responded with a grin, Black Dragon looked at Kim Joo-hyuk with an expression of complete incomprehension.
‘My skills have grown a little more than then.’
The black dragon was able to tell what he was like just by observing him for a very short period of time, so he was unable to understand the current situation.
Clearly, Martial God is strong.
The technology is clearly much more advanced than it was 300 years ago.
But even so.
‘It’s definitely not enough to beat me now.’
Martial God’s current prowess was far less than that of himself, who had devoured most of the constellations that came down to this world with him.
Therefore, understanding is not possible.
But the black dragon immediately shook its head and erased that thought.
In any case, it was impossible to stop fighting just because the martial god was stronger than expected.
“Then I will go with all my heart.”
The black dragon said so and spewed out thick magical energy in all directions.
A terrifying magical power that makes you feel suffocated just by feeling it nearby.
Looking at that, Kim Joo-hyuk smiled confidently.
‘This guy is giving me more trouble than I thought.’
He was looking at the black dragon with a frown.
The sight of the black dragon scattering thick magical energy was truly overwhelming.
Plus.
“The fuck, isn’t this a foul?”
Kim Joo-hyuk frowned as he watched his cut off right arm regenerate at an unbelievable speed.
fault-!
At that moment, Kim Joo-hyuk had already leapt towards the black dragon.
“!”
The black dragon noticed this and immediately moved its body.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk persistently chased after the retreating black dragon.
bang! Kwagagagak! bang!
Red lightning falls from above Kim Joo-hyuk’s head every time.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk avoided the lightning rather than hitting it.
Because I already realized that something troublesome would happen the moment I fell from the black dragon.
And Kim Joo-hyuk, who pursued the black dragon so persistently.
Crackle!
I reached the black dragon.
“Tsk…!”
The black dragon frowns and catches Kim Joo-hyuk’s attack with its arms covered in black scales.
His left hand moves in an instant, aiming for Kim Joo-hyuk’s heart once again.
however.
widely-!
“Oh!”
As soon as his left hand moved, Kim Joo-hyuk hooked Black Dragon’s right foot as if he had been waiting.
Kim Joo-hyuk tried to swing his silent sword at the black dragon, whose posture momentarily collapsed.
“!”
Just as he was about to fall, the black dragon changed direction in an instant and burrowed deep into Kim Joo-hyuk’s arms.
A black dragon that eliminates space for swinging the sword.
He tried to move his sword and fist again, as if this situation was an opportunity.
Wow!
Kim Joo-hyuk landed a knee kick into Black Dragon’s stomach.
“Tsk-!”
A groaning black dragon.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk did not stop there and immediately struck the lowered Black Dragon’s face with the handle of his sword.
At the same time, Kim Joo-hyuk immediately tried to land a blow on the black dragon.
Kwaaaaang!
“Tsk-!”
Kim Joo-hyuk ended up missing the timing due to lightning striking from the sky.
With that, the battle returned to square one again.
Kim Joo-hyuk constantly rushed at Black Dragon to not give him time to deal with the lightning properly.
Black Dragon tried to separate Kim Joo-hyuk as much as possible and continued to increase the distance.
And in the midst of that battle, Black Dragon looked shocked as he saw Kim Joo-hyuk running in front of him.
‘Is this even possible…!’
Martial God’s skills were worse than his own.
The same goes for physical abilities.
However, Black Dragon, who was clearly superior to Kim Joo-hyuk, was losing to Kim Joo-hyuk even though his basic specifications were clearly high.
Kkkdeudeudeuk-!
“Tsk!”
Black Dragon groaned involuntarily and looked at Kim Joo-hyuk, who had arrived in front of him at some point.
Seeing him avoiding the lightning falling from the sky as if he was seeing through everything, the black dragon frowned as if he should not waste any more time.
Kwakagagak-!
“!”
Immediately, he unleashed his magic power and unexpectedly punched Kim Joo-hyuk.
Much faster than before.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk calmly retrieved his sword and blocked the black dragon’s surprise attack.
The next moment.
Baaaaagh-!
“Huh-!?”
Kim Joo-hyuk allowed the black dragon to strike.
Kim Joo-hyuk frowns at the terrible pain that makes him irritated.
He frowned as if it was strange to see the black dragon suddenly looking so different from before.
On the other hand, the black dragon, which had been on the defensive a little while ago, opened its mouth, flowing dark red magic around its body.
“The joke ends here.”
“If you’re going to show it, why the fuck should you show it all at once?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s irritated voice.
However, the black dragon opened his mouth with a more relaxed expression than before.
“Honestly, I didn’t think it was worth dealing with the abilities of the guys who preyed on you.”
“…Digesting it?”
“Yes, my ability, Predation, can take away a certain amount of ability points by eating the opponent, but if I give up permanently raising the ability level and just digest them like this-” Tsk-
!
“!”
“It means you can do it like this.”
Wow!
The black dragon approaches at an invisible speed and swings its fist covered in black scales.
In response, Kim Joo-hyuk momentarily raised his sword and blocked the attack.
‘What the fuck!’
He gritted his teeth as his hands tingled even more after blocking just one attack than blocking the previous lightning strike.
However.
“Let’s finish it quickly.”
“!”
From then on, there was no time to express my feelings toward Kim Joo-hyuk.
Boom!
The black dragon’s fist hits Kim Joo-hyuk’s body.
Along with him, Kim Joo-hyuk opens his eyes wide.
In the meantime, he quickly grasped the situation and tried to raise his sword.
Wow!
“Kak-!”
The black dragon was faster.
Black Dragon mercilessly thrusts his fists out at a speed that even Kim Joo-hyuk cannot see clearly, as if he were a different person than before.
Even while being hit, Kim Joo-hyuk tried to somehow raise his sword to defend himself.
Sigh!
The black dragon was too fast.
Kim Joo-hyuk’s eyes are constantly turning.
From the front to the top.
From top to bottom.
From bottom to front.
From the front to the ground.
and.
“Mushin, you are definitely amazing. “Even before we learned our names, there was already a world of difference in skills between you and me, but I was being pushed out.”
As soon as Kim Joo-hyuk blocked the black dragon’s fist with his back, he opened his mouth like that.
“But no matter how much you are called a warrior and have trained your own martial arts, it is still meaningless in the face of your overwhelming prowess.”
“Damn it…!”
Kim Joo-hyuk responds to Black Dragon’s words.
“If you don’t believe me, look at yourself now. “Do you think I’m wrong?”
However, Black Dragon still calmly spoke to Kim Joo-hyuk with a slight smile.
That’s because Kim Joo-hyuk’s current condition seemed a bit difficult to call normal.
The clothes he was wearing were completely tattered, and there were a few rather ugly-looking scars here and there on his apparently clean body.
It was truly a miserable sight compared to just a few minutes ago.
But despite that situation-
“…?”
-Kim Joo-hyuk was smiling.
A laugh that is close to ridicule no matter who sees it.
“Is it a joke, a pride, or a laugh of escape from the fear of collapsing?”
The black dragon looks at that smile for a while and then asks a question.
“What do you think?”
Kim Joo-hyuk responded that way, as if asking him to guess.
“It seems to me that what you are doing is simply denying your own defeat.”
“Do you really think so?”
“what?”
“If you really think so, you might want to check it out.”
Soon, Kim Joo-hyuk smiled as he spoke and put the ink-colored sword he was holding into its scabbard.
“…?”
The black dragon looks at Kim Joo-hyuk suddenly leading the sword during battle, as if he is puzzled.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk did not answer the black dragon’s question and put his sword away.
Soon he got into position.
The right hand holding the sword sheath is at your waist.
The left hand is placed on the handle of the sword so that it can be held at any time.
The legs were spread back and forth to firmly support the body.
That last one.
“You said that no matter how much you train your martial arts, you can’t do anything in the face of overwhelming prowess, right?”
“…what?”
Kim Joo-hyuk has a smile on his face.
“So, try blocking it.”
I just held the sword.
“me.”
The next moment.
“!”
Martial God Ryu (武神流) was revealed to the world.
