102 – 34. Something to devour.

“What if what you were holding changed? Is your body normal? Isn’t it?”

Kariel’s physical condition was not strange even if she died soon.

There’s no way it suddenly got better now.

When Ashes was angry, he threw himself like a wild bull on top of his head.

Kariel greeted her unexpectedly without any reaction.

She said her body was normal.

A little while ago, she was also dealing with Mines, and she was hit by various attacks, and her damage was accumulated.

I don’t know if that’s why, but as I moved, I felt that my momentum was a little less than before.

‘Anyway.’

It wasn’t that important.

The swords traced different trajectories with no way they would touch each other.

Suddenly, Ases’s sword was bent and swung as if it were sticking to the other side of the sword.

“?!”

As if the space was artificially curved, and even that wasn’t enough, and the sword moved as if it were aiming for a target?

She couldn’t believe the situation easily even after seeing it with her own two eyes.

On the one hand, it was immediately identified.

‘This is….’

Is it the absurdity that others feel when dealing with us?

It feels like the sword is being sucked in, and it’s strangely swinging differently than intended.

When you reach a certain level, even the process becomes controllable at the point of swinging the sword.

Strictly speaking, it was a kind of deception by the limit of technology.

It just makes the other person think that way.

However, it’s a different story at the point of contact.

From then on, like magic, it’s the opponent’s sword, and it’ll start to interfere with body control.

If you try to resist it, give it strength, squeeze your muscles, inject mana, and start using it.

I get sucked into the bog even more.

‘The principle is….’

The difference in how mana is used.

For example, by emptying the mana in the body, the instinctive and natural principles and processes to be filled are maximized.

Then, depending on the desired timing, you can either absorb mana in its natural state or absorb someone else’s and apply it.

If there is a downside, compared to other mana management methods, which use mana in a stored state to exert explosive functions, it is limited in many ways.

From strengthening the body, one encounters obstacles.

However, since it was empty, it was possible to rapidly fill it up as long as there was an abundance of mana around it, but because of that, there was no special thing to consider as a mana store in the body, so in the end, the whole body was used for that purpose.

So, in terms of management, it has very advantageous strengths in terms of circulation.

The ability to rapidly absorb even enormous amounts of mana, and to control the instantaneous firepower without any restrictions by deliberately dealing with circulation and reverse circulation at any time.

For example, if only the river is properly drilled.

It is a logic that whether the river flows up or down is completely irrelevant.

‘But.’

This is different.

It is the same, but the essence is different.

For example, this….

The reason that flows from top to bottom? Principle?

Maybe it’s like that.

Why did you notice this obvious thing only now?

Everything is sucked down.

Fall, not.

It will be sucked in.

Suction power? Manpower?

Something is different.

But the same thing is the same.

“Suck?!”

As soon as the center of gravity collapses, the body quickly goes along just by pulling.

At the point where Athes leaned her upper body limply, Kariel grabbed her own blade opposite her.

She turned her sword upside down as if shaking it off.

Thanks to that, Ahss, who was carried along with the sword stuck between them, could either roll or turn his body while holding onto him, if he didn’t want his wrist to bend 180 degrees.

I have no choice but to let go of the sword.

Here, her choice was to lay down her sword.

She was neither an old-fashioned knight, nor an insane tribe who would risk their lives on weapons.

Actually, if she wanted to, it wasn’t that difficult to follow her even while holding the sword.

‘That’s not the problem.’

It was just a sword, but if you made a mistake, you could even lose control of your entire body.

If I hadn’t grasped it just a little bit later, I would have been swung around with my entire body.

Chang-Geurang!

The fallen sword made a loud noise commensurate with its weight, and the frost landed on the ground.

With him.

“Stop.”

As if gliding, no, as if riding through space.

Kariel, who had dug into the gap between Minnes and Leo, who were about to collide, immediately swung her sword with one hand and struck her holy sword.

She slashed Mines’ arm with her free hand.

Just before that, her empty left hand ran around her waist and pulled out a small dagger.

Furthermore, the black darkness covered the dagger again.

From noble mtl dot com

Kariel threw it right onto the floor where Mines was standing.

“?!”

The moment when the white frost wind is about to blow.

With the dagger stuck in the ground, as if the frosty wind had pierced a hole in the water jar.

All the results she produced began to be sucked into the darkness of her dagger.

“Riel?! Why are you stopping me?!”

Ignoring Leo’s opinion as an action.

Kariel, who gripped the sword with both hands again, pushed Leo as if shaking him.

Although it was impossible to resist with force, a boy named Leo stood there very tenaciously, as if his sense of balance and ability to respond were absurd.

But even that is temporary.

Thanks to Kariel’s familiar but somehow unfamiliar movements, Leo, who lost his balance again, was indistinguishable from Ashes, and the holy sword was stolen by Kariel’s tricks, albeit helplessly.

No, the situation over there is worse than what happened to Ases….

In her moment, Kariel, holding the sword blade with both hands, pierced her around the grip and pommel like a javelin, slashed her knee, then lifted it up and hit her chin one after another.

Where is that?

Even in the midst of that, he managed to step forward and hook her leg and pull it, so it seemed that he couldn’t stand or stand anywhere.

It was quite exquisite that the back of the head did not fall to the ground even though the butt was shot.

Did you even adjust that?

“This is our problem! Why are you interfering?!”

Maybe Minnes has reached the stage where she can go beyond being puzzled and burst into dissatisfaction.

Mines, who was bitten by the dagger, tried to activate his authority again.

This time, Kariel suddenly transformed her sword in her hand, and she threw it as it was.

“?!”

Mines quickly responded by building an ice barrier.

Mysteriously, the black projectile thrown by Kariel passed through even that, as if twisting space, and eventually pierced Minnes’ abdomen at once.

“Kyaaah!”

Minnes was half-lying on the floor, dragged by the projectile as if he were doomed to the ground.

It was only then that I could figure out that the projectile was in the shape of a spear.

“… ….”

Raising her holy sword and holding it in her hand, Kariel glared at it, then walked in the direction Leo fell.

“… ….”

It’s different, but it’s too different.

It was still as if he was staggering and having a hard time, but he acted as if he was used to such a situation, and there was nothing unrestrained about him.

In less than 10 seconds, the jeongjak landed on the surroundings again.

Those who watched, not knowing how the situation was going, enjoyed unknown anticipation, chills, and anxiety at the same time as Kariel handed her holy sword to Leo, kneeling halfway down her knee.

What are the two of you talking about?

It was around the time Ases hesitated a little and lifted his fallen sword.

Kariel stepped away from Leo and this time she was walking towards Mines.

As he walked, he reached out and the dagger stuck in the ground was sucked into his grasp like a creature.

Would you like it again? Behind the waist? Thighs?

He settled down as if he had been put in somewhere. This time, despite his stomach being pierced, he looked down at Mines, who didn’t seem to have suffered any fatal injuries, and looked down at her eyes, where her resentment, depression, anxiety, and despair sat down thickly. And

She again lowered her lower body to her eye level with her.

Asses.

I hated myself so helplessly to watch that scene.

“I told you not to do that.”

That damn place.

Please….

What are you trying to do?

It shouldn’t end like this.

‘This isn’t right.’

Who dares to wield the lives of others as they please?

Who dares to distort the trajectory of another person’s life?

The two of them, originally, fight and fight until a decision is made, or even if they postpone it, they will come to a decision again someday.

It’s fate that should end like that.

A fate worse than that devoured them all.

Yes.

Like the darkness it wields.

That’s something that bizarrely sucks up everything and tries to devour it.

And now, even Kariel has become such an existence.

How should I describe this?

A joke of fate? Kidding? Deception?

Trumbling, why is this step toward it so slow and heavy?

Is this a pointless outburst?

“Coke!”

I wondered why it was so hard to breathe, and blood was flowing from her nose.

Where does it flow?

Some parts of it have hardened, so my nose is stuffy.

When you breathe through your mouth, a bloody smell vibrates strangely.

Shouldn’t it be the opposite? I covered my nose, but why does the smell vibrate?

I don’t understand English.

“Crazy b*tch. Are you going to stop fussing now?”

A little further away, Venus comes to the fight again.

“Isn’t it time to know? Do you think you can deal with that in your current state?”

“… Would you like to risk only fights you can win? You’re a mean and dirty bastard.”

“Why is there such a conclusion… ha.”

Even that expression of sighing with confusion now only seems deceiving.

He has talent, but he is hungry nonetheless.

I have many talents, but I couldn’t get anything I really wanted.

No, I’ve never wanted it, and I’ve got it.

Thirst was not satisfied.

It just keeps growing without bottom or end.

The more you know.

I was more hungry than when I didn’t know, and I was having a hard time.

Some say they knew it from birth.

Some say that you learn to know.

Some people learn only through difficulties.

Some say they only found out after overcoming trials.

Although the process is different, the realization is the same for all. Who said it?

‘Ah.’

That’s what he did.

Kariel.

I wanted to have that wisdom.

I’m more than proud of you.

I wanted to have that carefree mindset.

I still do.

Even at this age, they are things that can never be overlooked.

What is the difference between you and me?

I didn’t know if I lived through a loss like you, so I watched it anyway.

As expected.

You didn’t get anything?

I only lost money every time.

It was all pointless and useless.

By the way.

Are there any useful actions in this world?

“Unreasonable.”

While Ashes was chanting.

The conversation between Kariel and Mines was already coming to an end.

Retrieving her black spear from her abdomen, it seems as if she had never been stabbed or pierced.

She straightened her body upright.

“… ….”

In that silence thick with tension.

She is Kariel with trembling eyes.

And then he took a look at Leo and the rest of the staff.

“… ….”

With my eyes closed.

I was frozen just like that.

As if a new ice statue had been created.

A white frost wind blew up a gust of wind.

Now, even that statue is cracked and broken.

Soon, only pieces of shattered ice and frost dust.

It was only vaguely filling that void.
