102 – Half-Leaf

‘Eck.’

Kwagagagak!!

The moment I rolled to the left again to avoid an additional hit,

I encountered large fingernail marks left in the air.

‘…To attack earlier!’

Pervert!!

“Keugh..!”

In the end, I couldn’t avoid the explosion and allowed an effective hit.

A part of mana is left in the air during an attack using shapeshifting, and then it explodes at the right time…?

Such an act is not at the level of drawing a circle and a square with both hands at the same time,

It was a skill that was as difficult as cooking and cutting with both hands at the same time.

Amazingly sophisticated mana control.

‘… They don’t even have two brains.’

Anyway, now is not the time to complain about the other person.

-Kreurreuk!

‘Comes.’

-Paaang!!

As if I were really a wolf,

The appearance of Mr. Silica, who lowers his body in the same quadrupedal posture and runs with explosive momentum.

… I need an illusion.

After urgently releasing the mana of the gauntlet,

Call Leah.

“Leah!”

-Paaah!

‘It’s fortunate.’

I kept calling from the arena earlier, but there was no answer, so I was just in case.

Fortunately, this time the call was answered.

By the way.

“… Leah?”

Lea’s appearance is a bit strange.

In the past, I must have had the appearance of a little girl,

Now, as if she had grown up, she was getting closer to her ladylike features.

-Smiley.

Any questions later,

I really don’t have time right now.

Imagine mana in the light of the eye to activate the fantasy eye.

-Kwaaak!!

I twisted my body to avoid Silica-san’s pitchfork hand that came into my arms before I knew it.

‘I avoided a direct hit with this…!’

There was still the reverberation of her fingernails.

If you dodge, it will be difficult to respond to an additional hit that will come soon,

If you don’t dodge it, you’ll get caught up in an additional explosion as before.

In that case.

-Keying!!

After summoning the holy sword in her right hand,

Shortly cuts the remaining mana horizontally.

Of course,

There is no way that the mana in the air will be cut off with a simple sword strike.

So,

Find the mana circuit that implanted the order of the explosion that can be seen through the illusion.

‘… It’s a bit tight!’

– Boom! Pop! Pop! Pop!

The core contained in the four fingernail-shaped mana,

Twist her wrists and zig-zag to destroy them.

A situation that happened in the blink of an eye.

This time, there was a gap on the side of Mr. Silica, who was preparing for an additional hit by moving in the opposite direction in advance.

He’s belatedly showing a shocked expression with a side glance, but…!

-Kaang!!!

“Hey!”

‘Is it hard?!’

Succeeded in delivering an attack with great movement to the side.

Although the form transformation was heavily encased in the power of reinforcement, it couldn’t inflict a fatal wound,

Still, with this level of physical force, the internal shock would have been great enough.

“…”

Are you taken aback by the unexpected blow?

Mr. Silica is looking at this side with her body wide open in her lowered posture.

It is quite impressive that the shadow’s tail wags.

“…With.”

I knew that such a high-quality form transformation was originally a skill of great difficulty, but…

‘How many mana circuits are there?’

Looking at Silica-san’s transformation into a wolf through the fantasy eye,

It was beyond my imagination.

It’s not just the rake that is in charge of the attack.

From the leg muscles responsible for speed,

A tail that amplifies weight balance and a sense of direction, and a wolf-shaped mask snout.

Really, the muscles of creatures were perfectly reproduced with only mana circuits.

‘It’s a monster.’

I don’t know what the hell happened in the past,

At that level, you must have an incredibly detailed knowledge of the creature called wolf.

If you use shapeshifting in this way,

It is very inefficient in terms of difficulty, but it will be the most accurate indicator for ‘image’, which is the most important in shape transformation.

A clear image that uses mana to create a certain shape.

The present Silica-san was literally a wolf itself.

I looked at the holy sword that was emitting soft light from my right hand for a long time, then,

As if he had figured out something soon, he started digging again.

-Kwajik!

“Wow!”

I realized that I could find and destroy the mana core,

I have been fighting a melee at a very close distance.

Because the size of the rake hand was reduced, it started with an elbow attack using the arm that became faster.

-Kaang!

Acrobatic kicks using wolf leg muscles.

– Huung!

And finally.

Whirick.

As it is in the air after kicking,

It uses its tail to jump up once more, spin, and even strike down.

“…!”

Quang!

The crown of the head, which had been stamped down, was pinned to the floor.

‘… Dangerous!’

Immediately, twist your back wide and pull your head up.

-Damn it!!

Immediately, I put my hands on top of where my head was and then a powerful downward attack pierced me.

“It’s Dalian, right?!”

“…The healers in Merveus are excellent.”

Excellent sleep,

If he had been hit properly by that attack, his head could have exploded.

‘I cannot use the sword’s reach.’

The sword is certainly a great weapon,

When I close the distance in this way, I lose speed.

‘… sh*t.’

Swinging a sword at Silica-san, who continued to run at her regretfully, made her enter into an evasive action,

Into Silica-san’s face, as if she would not miss the time to retrieve the sword, she immediately bounced her waist up.

-KANG!!

I hit a lot of mana into the handle of the sword and raised the muzzle to hit it.

“…Kreur!”

Thanks to light and mana, there was some effect,

Instead of inflicting a fatal wound, it only angered Mr. Silica.

‘Defense is too high.’

I had never experienced anything like this, even against knights wearing heavy armor in Elbheim.

I can’t use the blade that has the offensive power to pierce the delicately woven mana circuit.

Unfortunately, the sparring so far ended just by bringing a sword to a vital point, but

The fact that the sparring with Mr. Silica does not end until the wolf’s shape shift is broken is a big step forward.

On the other hand, if I allow an attack near the chin or stomach, the ending will be stunned.

This is truly an irrational sparring.

“Something…!”

Get off!

-Paaat!!!

Let’s instantaneously release the mana of light within the body,

The wolf-shaped armor made of shadows swayed for an instant, blocking Silica-san’s vision.

‘…Think about it.’

First, look at the key part of the silica seed that is blinding and blinding through the annular eye.

It’s impossible.

In order to increase attack power, you need to recover the mana that goes into the illusion.

That’s why you can’t accurately hit the weak point of the constantly shimmering shapeshifter.

First, close your eyes and return the Phantom Eye and the holy sword to your body.

At the same time, I felt mana pouring out and filling my veins like a broken dam.

‘… Light with mana and shade.’

A means to use the shadow formula to achieve maximum attack power.

Currently, the strongest skill I can use is a tornado that mixes light and dark mana.

Because you can’t concentrate your attacks on one point, you could end up using up all your mana and not being able to break through your defense.

Then…

– Tight.

Let’s apply the shape transformation of silica seeds.

Of course, I’ve never used it, but

Thanks to the visionary eyes, I vaguely realized how to control mana.

The next problem is images…

Fortunately for me,

There was an animal that I had observed closely for a long time enough to refer to the shape change.

In case something goes wrong with the thread connected to Selina, the ‘animal’ that has been watching every day even writes fantasy eyes.

Even so, it is impossible to reproduce it as perfectly as silica all at once.

So…

‘Only the most representative body parts.’

Close your eyes and focus on the mana inside.

Then,

I exploded the amplified mana with the maximum concentration I could.

**

– Huung!

“Oops. If you avoid that and that…”

Quaguaguaga!!!

From noble mtl dot com

“That’s how it should be…”

“Well. It’s a skill that all opponents who first deal with Silica are defeated.

Didn’t you too? Banter.”

“That’s right…”

Arone and Banter are sitting on a bench far away and watching the match.

For both of them, strengthening eyesight with mana was a piece of cake.

As if watching it in front of my eyes, I was evaluating the couple’s sparring.

“…Captain. Are you really okay?”

“…”

“I’m not going to look at silica… I might get hurt?”

“Right. Yeah, of course… Oh! You suddenly unlocked the gauntlet?”

Adela’s expression was not good looking at the flowing couplets.

Of course,

She said that no family would be happy to see her brother, whom she swore to protect for the rest of her life, fly away…

‘… Rye.’

When Rai said he wanted to fight by his side,

Her sense of happiness surged up as Adela affirmed her whole life she had lived.

But to fall for her quirks and accept her brother’s favor,

Adela was a person who had the position and responsibility to face the coming reality.

‘…Thank you very much.’

No.

-Koo Woo-wook.

Of course, Adela’s heart broke as she had to reject her sister’s favor.

However,

If, by any chance, Rai decides to follow her Seong Jin-ha into the upcoming fight…

Rye’s growth was definitely explosive.

She was on her way to becoming stronger faster than anyone she had ever seen.

She is even more so than Seong Jin-ha, who has been convinced that she is the greatest talent of all time.

‘…Not yet.’

However, Seong Jin-ha and Rai have different circumstances.

Seong Jin-ha inherited the blood of Jinjo,

Because when she was with the queen or when dealing with vampires, at least she had a trump card to defend herself.

‘Just a little bit…’

If only a little more time had passed,

If only I had had at least half a year more time.

As Adela bit her lip, she raised her head as if in agony to face her arena.

She shouldn’t avert her eyes at least.

This Dalian,

Because it was an act of Adela’s own choosing.

All candidates with the potential to look after Lai were excluded.

I realized the meaning of Rai fighting by my side in this Dalian,

So that I can have time to think for a while.

It was then.

Around Rai, who suddenly retrieved the Shadow Gauntlet,

The light started to burst out.

“… Huh?”

“That’s…! That’s the one from the martial arts competition, right?”

“… That’s right.”

That unknown power was also suspicious.

At first, it was said that it was an artifact obtained by luck, but

The unknown power reflected in Adela’s eyes was by no means a student’s ability to acquire artifacts.

‘…No matter how much I ask, they just goof around.’

Am I not being trusted as an older sister…

But that unknown power was also within the assumption.

The sword of light that exchanged attacks with Jinha at the martial arts tournament was clearly a threat to the vampires, but

That said, silica…

-Suddenly!

Pervert!

“…?”

“Just…”

“… You cut off Mana? And cut her wrists in a zigzag motion?!”

Bewildered in the eyes of the two people, including Adela.

Of course,

Adela can also cut mana from her air.

But that’s about wiping out the mana in the air with overwhelming speed or power.

You can’t just find the core of mana and cut it like that.

No,

How could you see the core of mana in such a short period of time?

Besides what I saw,

Destroying four cores accurately with one swing…!

-KANG!!!

Even us looking at it from afar are so embarrassed,

How would Silica feel about experiencing this unbelievable act?

Of course, I couldn’t bear to react, so I allowed a big attack on my back and flew a long distance.

What followed was also a series of surprises.

Silica, like her skilled veteran, clings to her close to prevent her from using the reach of her sword and performs fighting techniques.

It’s dangerous, but avoiding all but one of Silica’s attacks isn’t enough,

He even uses the handle of his sword to counterattack.

“… Huh. That’s the first year of the academy?”

“At that level, close combat is much better than Rampart, isn’t it?”

But what shocked them more than anything was,

The explosion of light that followed.

-Paaah!!

“Wow!”

“What is the amount of light…!! It reaches all the way here?!”

Appeared just as the light was fading,

A huge black shadow.

“…What is that?”

Two pairs of huge wings sprouted from Rai’s back.

It is said to be a wing, but it is not a common bird-shaped wing,

-Chack!

Pointy spines sparsely protruding from between the thick bones.

A form filled with a tight film between them.

It’s shaped like a bat’s wings,

Its size and majesty itself were on a different level.

Yes,

That looks like…

“… Dragons?”

I’ve actually seen sub-dragons like Drake, as well as Adela and the Knights,

I even had the experience of subjugation.

But for some reason,

The impressions of the three people who first felt the moment they saw Rai’s wings were consistent.

A being in a legend.

If the dragon, the guardian of the dimension, had existed,

It must have had these wings.

**

– Chow!!!

Desperately refines and fixes the form of mana bursting out of the wing bones like an explosion.

‘… Please.’

– Blame it!

But the amount of mana that came out was more than I expected,

Forcibly refining the shape according to the image in my head, I ended up with huge wings that were outside the standard.

I can only use it for admiration, let alone attack.

‘I can’t help it.’

I gave up on expressing both wings,

Leave only one wing and use mana on the other side to form a mana circuit.

‘… Will be.’

The mana circuits on the remaining right wing are tightly woven like a spider’s web.

A little more…!

Just a little more!

Let’s forcibly squeeze out an incomprehensible amount of information for the human brain.

My brain is overloaded and my head hurts…!

‘It’s done!’

Gearco succeeded in completely seizing the initiative of one wing.

By the way.

‘… Wait a minute.’

How did the dragon fight with its wings?

All the dragons and drakes I’ve seen so far have only seen sharp claws or menacing breaths.

Wings are just for flying,

Even with that one-sided wing, it can’t even fly.

“… Screwed up.”

The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of Sella is wings.

First of all, I converted it into a wing shape, but…

At that time.

“… Dazzling. Suddenly something…”

Mr. Silica began to come to her senses.

‘I don’t know.’

There was no more time.

I just thought of concentrating the attack on one point…!!

Infuse mana into the light in the mana circuit engraved on the wings to strengthen the attack…

– Wooooo!!!!

I was going to.

Let’s infuse mana into the light in the tightly woven mana circuit,

More than I had imagined, the mana was greatly amplified.

Reflexively raise your right hand diagonally in surprise, and let’s release mana to the wings all at once.

-Peeing!

With the sound of something breaking,

Mr. Silica’s tail was cut off.

‘… Huh?’

And.

-Kwagwagwagwagwagwa!!!!!!!

Belatedly, the lines of black mana explode in a straight line,

An explosive roar follows.

“…”

Silica-san, who barely got out of her line and only had her tail cut off,

The last thing I did was stare at the line that accurately split the arena in half with blank eyes.

“…”

“…”

Dalian has come to an end.
