Episode 286 Acupuncture Point Scanning Upgrade (1)
“Sir Roberto! Run under that guy’s boat! Urus! Confrontation from the front! Sir Chiersa! “Detour to the rear!”
I shouted with all my might.
Until my throat explodes.
So that everyone can hear.
So that everyone can immediately hear and carry out our commands. He put a lot of confidence in his voice.
The basis for confidence was clear.
‘Finally… I can see it!’
Rakiel opened his eyes wide.
Kiiiiing-!
The blood-flame beast that I had been trying to observe earlier. The body of that huge blood-red monster awakened by the warlock. I could see the guy moving. Acupoint scanning was working properly. Of course, it was not as simple as turning on acupuncture point scanning like before.
In fact, he was paying a huge price.
Tsutsu! Tsk! Tsk! Pot! Pot! Papapapot-!
A vision that flickers countless times. The sensation of blinking hundreds of times per second. Or it feels like turning the light on and off hundreds of times.
He was turning the acupoint scanning on and off at a rate close to 60 times per second. Literally a series of high-speed on/off. This was possible thanks to the 8282 mode that was in effect at the time.
In addition, thanks to ultra-fast on/off, the original purpose of acupuncture point scanning was partially achieved.
‘I can see its movements… at least roughly!’
It was like that.
Every time I turned on acupuncture point scanning, I changed the scan target. A colony of hundreds of thousands of bats that make up the Blood Flame Beasts. Among them, various ones were selected at random. About 60 animals were scanned per second.
60 out of hundreds of thousands per second.
The direction in which 60 dots spread across the body move. Even the mana flow structure that connects them. That was enough to roughly understand its overall movements and intentions. This was thanks to a principle similar to a kind of motion capture process.
‘When filming a movie and capturing the actor’s motion with CG… it was like this, I guess?’
Suddenly I remembered seeing a similar video in Korea. Was it a documentary showing the filming process of a Hollywood science fiction film? I was amazed to see the actors performing passionately wearing jjoljjolgi (?) with dozens of dots on them. Wow, I can empathize even in that situation. They say I’m not an actor for nothing.
In any case, the ultra-high-speed on/off acupuncture point scanning that he was trying now was playing the same role as the dotted jjoljjol of motion capture that he had seen back then.
Thanks to you, I finally saw it!
“Damian! To my face! Block the second head first!”
shouted.
At that moment, the beast’s second head slowly retracted. Soon it stretched like a spring. Towards this way. Extremely fierce and fast.
But Damian was faster.
This was thanks to blocking the appropriate location in advance in response to their cries.
“Hmph!”
Damian’s lungs filled with air. The muscles of my entire body pulsated. The flow of mana guided the sword. A powerful blow that cut through the air created dozens of sword winds.
Tsuppapapapat!
The beast’s snake head was swept away by the sword wind. Hundreds of bats forming the forehead were slaughtered and sprinkled with blood.
But that only lasts for a moment. The new bats quickly repaired the damaged areas.
Its assault resumed.
Quad deud deuk!
The beast’s wide-open maw plowed the paving stones of the plaza. But Rachiel was no longer there. It was thanks to a quick dodge at the speed of 8282 mode while the guy was faltering due to Damian’s sword wind.
“Damian! Attack the left nape of the second head! Urus! Hit the chest with the horns! Sir Roberto! Protect Urus! “Sir Chiersa, Sylvia, and Lord Eisel of the Holy Church, follow me!”
I shouted quickly.
Perhaps due to the influence of the 8282 mode, even the shout was incredibly fast. It feels like the playback speed of an x-tube video has been increased to 5x speed. Or do you feel like a rapper whose specialty is rapid-fire rap?
Nevertheless, fortunately, everyone was a sword master or an equivalent level of skill, so they understood our cries without mistakes.
‘If everyone was given an English listening test, I would have gotten a perfect score!’
I put aside the slightly rising envy(?) and continued to shout. Following the shout from this side, everyone moved in unison and attacked and pounded the blood-flame beast.
Meanwhile, Rachiel observed the beast’s reaction.
It was to find weaknesses.
‘That guy can’t just finish that.’
I was able to tell after observing several attacks. No matter how powerful the attack was, it did not flinch. It wasn’t that the attack didn’t work. In fact, it was the opposite. Every time I cut and exploded, the fountain of blood exploded so refreshingly.
There was a separate problem.
The point was that the damaged area continued to recover.
‘It’s because of the hundreds of thousands of bat colonies that make up the place. No matter how much we cut and explode, the number of bat colonies is too large. Before that bat colony is exhausted… to the point where we get exhausted first.’
That was the problem.
The number could be reduced by continuing to attack, but the problem was that the number was too large. It’s like facing hundreds of zombies with only a pistol in hand.
‘There is no end to this. Moreover, although everyone recovered from anemia after taking Baemaksan, it is not complete. My condition is actually a mess. You’ll probably get tired much faster than usual.’
When observed through acupuncture point scanning, it certainly looked like that. My eyebrows naturally furrowed. It can’t go on like this. No matter how hard I tried to run the hope circuit, it was the same.
‘Besides, I…’
I’m already getting tired.
It wasn’t too much of a stretch.
It was because of the 8282 mode.
“after…! Whoop!”
Rachiel took a deep breath and opened her eyes. My body became so hot. My body temperature soared and sweat flowed like rain. I even felt dizzy. This was due to the extremely fast metabolism and rapid physical strength consumption.
But I couldn’t stop it. If you stop, you will immediately become the target of that bloody beast. You’ll probably end up with minced meat or squid in no time.
So I was going crazy. It was going to be hard, but if you really didn’t want to die, you had to force yourself to keep moving. Of all the experiences I have had using 8282 mode so far, this was by far the most intense and worst experience.
“…omg! “Huh!”
Not only did I feel like I was out of breath, but even my five organs and six organs were in an uproar inside.
Ding dong!
[The five organs and six departments are declaring an emergency due to your rapid loss of physical strength!]
[Heart: Hey! Body! I explode! If you run like this, you’ll explode!]
[Lung: Lung… pah…↘]
[Captain: Your lung has already exploded?]
[Lung: No! We have to come to our senses!]
[Stomach: It’s so hard that you’re dying, so what kind of spirit do you have?]
[Kidney: Is there a good quote to help you come to your senses at a time like this?]
[Spleen: Team leader, I have something to tell you.]
[Heart: …! ]
[Lungs: …!]
[Large intestine: …Wow, goosebumps.]
[Lip: I was in a dazed state for about 10 seconds.]
[Stomach: 2222222 ㄹㅇ hahaha]
[Kidney: 33333 Even if it’s difficult, please don’t treat me without warning. ㄷㄷ Please at least give me time for the handover ah haha]
[The Ojangyukbu encouraged your struggle and sponsored 300 HP.]
[Currently possessed HP: 20600]
“…Whoop! omg!”
Thank you, but unfortunately, there was no real support. It was so hard. Even so, you have to endure the harsh stress while having lower physical strength than others. Isn’t this what it would feel like if you were forced to run 30 laps of the playground while suffering from heat exhaustion?
But that didn’t mean I could stop.
‘He also noticed that I lead everyone.’
I could intuit it.
That bloody beast that the warlock transformed into. That guy also seemed to have a general understanding of his role. As proof of this, they have been targeting this side openly and persistently for some time now. They probably think that if they just kill me, they can easily deal with the rest. That is also the correct answer.
Besides…
‘Because of the operating range of acupuncture point scanning… I can’t stop the movement.’
10 meters.
That was the observation range of the current acupuncture point scanning. In other words, to observe it, you had to get within a range of 10 meters.
However, the beast was about 50 meters long. In other words, you cannot observe the whole thing by standing in one place. So you have to run. You have to circle around the guy in all directions and observe his whole body. Only then can you roughly understand the overall movement and direct everyone.
So… I feel like I’m going to die.
“…omg! Wow! Whoop!”
The area in front of my eyes gradually turned yellow. Right now, I’m moving like crazy, holding on to the weak(?) 8282 mode, but what happens when the mode ends? Could it be that the aftereffects of the explosive amount of stamina I have expended hit me all at once and I faint?
Moreover, there was something more serious.
‘At this rate, I can’t figure out that guy’s weaknesses.’
Now I was busy moving around the beast and could barely see its exterior. This was due to the limitation of the observation range of 10 meters. Because of its large size, the inside of its body could not be seen. To observe the bats that make up that place, the scope of acupuncture scanning would have to be wider…
‘What should I do?’
Cold sweat dripping.
I was at a loss.
My body continues to beat, the acupuncture point scanning is running like crazy, my mouth is busy giving commands… but my mind is becoming more and more complicated.
The end of the fight, which would continue like this, was naturally drawn.
A war of attrition with no answer.
A hopeless struggle.
Such a grim outcome.
You lost but fought well? I didn’t want to experience an ending like that. Not only Damian Urus and others who trusted me and fought alongside me, but also the emperor and countless others who fell in the square will all die. I don’t like that. Why have I worked so hard until now? If I take care of it a little better, I….
‘I can live my whole life playing and eating healthily!’
It’s not about humanity.
Of course it’s not about responsibility.
It’s all for the rest of my prosperous life. My life will be enriched only when everyone, including me, lives well and the empire becomes strong. You will be able to enjoy the life of an unemployed building owner.
So, we cannot be helpless like this. You can’t just suck your fingers without taking action.
Something has to be done.
Anything…
it was at that time.
Rattling!
“…!”
The moment I was about to jump off the ground again, an ominous rattling sensation came over me on one side of my heart. heart attack? It wasn’t.
[The effect of K-flavored thorns has diminished.]
[Metabolic ‘8282 mode’ ends.]
…Whoop!
“Hmm…”
I caught my breath.
The body, which had been accelerating to its fullest extent, suddenly slowed down. The consequences of the explosive movement so far came all at once like an aftereffect. But there was no time to be caught up in that pain.
Rachiel raised her head first.
Our eyes met.
Five heads of blood-red beasts looking down at us. Thousands of pairs of eyes hanging there. All eyes were smiling in this direction. As if he was chanting, ‘Gotcha.’
“….”
I got goosebumps.
It raised its black thorn again. We have to stab it quickly. You need to activate 8282 mode again. While I was thinking , “Hurry up before I get attacked by the beast,”
two of the beast’s heads darted towards me.
Quaaaa-!
“…!”
Two heads the size of dump trucks hurtling through the air. Mouth wide open. A fang made up of a flock of bats.
Can it be avoided? no. It could have been avoided if it was in 8282 mode. At the very least, if I had been able to completely understand all of his movements through acupoint scanning, I would have been able to see the angle to avoid it even if I wasn’t in 8282 mode.
But now it is neither.
8282 Mode has ended.
Acupoint scanning is still imperfect.
Plus, the distance from Damian and others who can help me is too far. Especially now. Just like this. Coincidentally.
“majesty-!”
Damian runs screaming.
The guy’s urgent expression.
The gesture seemed slow. The attack of the blood-red beast rushing towards us was the same. The world is slow. Is this the magic light you see right before you die?
But it was that moment.
Ding dong!
A notification sound rings in my ears like a thread.
In a desperate moment, an unexpected message began to appear before my eyes.
[You used the acupuncture point skill option ①: acupuncture point scanning in a unique way.]
[You combined and applied the acceleration ability of the metabolism 8282 mode to perform an extreme form of skill option that turns acupuncture point scanning on and off hundreds of times per second. I put it into practice.]
[This hard work gave explosive experience to the acupuncture point scanning option.]
[The function of the acupuncture point scanning option is upgraded.]
[The ‘Vampire Lord’s True Blood’ component that you previously absorbed is used to upgrade the acupuncture point scanning option. It exerts a special and profound influence.]
[The observation range of acupuncture point scanning is greatly expanded.]
[If the observation target of acupuncture point scanning has hemoglobin-based blood, the number of scan targets increases infinitely.]
