Chapter 28

10. Lee Ji-hye (3)

“… … It was quite a blow of conversion.”

Lee Ji-hye, who lost her energy while hovering, landed on her ground and muttered in a weak voice.

“The timing of her surprise was excellent,” she said.

Cha Shin Hyeon followed him down and said.

“But she’s been fighting before, isn’t she?”

“What do you mean?”

“It can’t be a perfect surprise.”

No matter how secretive you are, a perfect surprise is not possible unless you know that one day they will appear and attack again. There is a big difference between knowing and not knowing.

Of course, even if it was perfect, whether it could harm Cha Shin Hyeon was another matter.

“Even so, it wouldn’t make a huge difference in terms of being able to outwit her. Isn’t that just because my skills are not as good as yours?”

“Well, I won’t deny it.”

“tooth.”

Lee Ji-hye pouted her lips at the honest answer without mercy. But Cha Shin Hyeon’s point of view was serious.

“But this is also your problem. Isn’t there little difference between one second or two seconds or nothing?”

“Yes?”

“Except for stat correction, for one second, I was only attacking with no skill, and this second was only for camouflage, although it showed the skill to deal with stealth and shadows, and in the end, the decisive attack was no work.”

“Well······.”

“I don’t think my meaning as a high-ranking hunter is fading if this is the case. To see it as a synergy between martial arts and skill, the skill side seems to be quite lacking.”

“Actually, that’s it.”

Lee Ji-hye, who had hesitated, opened her mouth.

“It’s martial arts, I learned it at Moorim, but the skill was used against monsters, right?”

“However?”

“So there was not much need to adjust the strength and weakness. Of course, there are skills that require delicacy, but shadow play is a skill that focuses only on killing enemies by trapping them…”

“what?”

Cha Shin Hyeon burst out laughing involuntarily.

“So you’re saying that you’re worried about me now and that you’ve been gentle with me?”

“Oh, no, you wouldn’t take it that far.”

Lee Ji-hye quickly patted her hand.

“This is just a test, isn’t it? It’s the same as not using water in the rain. It’s not my intention to kill Cha Shin Hyeon, but it’s making the atmosphere tougher…”

“When I write, I must die to be able to live. I’m sorry to say this, but isn’t that something sewage should be concerned about?”

Cha Shin Hyeon was fed up.

Lee Ji-hye’s face turned a little red.

He was talking to her.

“Didn’t you also wonder how much power you have? I also want to see the power. It’s not like I’m trying to watch the shattering skills.”

“… … like.”

After hesitating for a moment, Lee Ji-hye nodded her head.

“Then we really do our best to deal with monsters.”

“It should have been.”

“Don’t be too vigilant. It’s really different from the previous two.”

“The more different, the more welcome.”

The stronger Lee Ji-hye was, the more fun she would have with her, and she could also picture her own future. Since her senior, who ‘paralleled’ her uninhabited and hunter, was her, she could look at her and reminisce about her future work.

“Then let’s get started.”

As she gracefully greeted her, she disappeared again.It evaporated in a way that was not caught by the senses like before.

After a while.

The ground began to turn black.

‘Is this again?’

I get tired of repeating things that didn’t work.

With that thought, Cha Shin Hyeon floated into the air. If they came out the same, they would respond in the same way.

Then I realized

“her?”

Unlike before, which was relatively small, the surrounding land was all dyed black.

No, it’s not just the land. Even the surrounding structures such as playground equipment and benches were eroded in black.

dreaming.

The world shakes. Would it be more accurate to say that I’m drooling?

The light objects that lost the contrast and were unified in black also lost their shape. The crushed black formed a huge wall and swept through Cha Shin Hyeon in its entirety. It was like a tsunami.



‘Quantity is quantity.’

Cha Shin Hyeon, who found a simple and clear answer, raised the altitude a little.

He climbed up to a position about 10 meters from the ground and covered his whole body with a river. As if surrounded by blue flames, the concentrated aerodynamics vibrated.

Pavabak!

The waves of the liberated river rushed out in all directions.

Compared to the black tsunami, the appearance of the blue waves seemed a little lacking, but the amount of energy it contained was different.

Kwagwagwagwang!

The waves pushed the tsunami away.

Just like an elite soldier sweeping away the clutter, the raging river mercilessly pounded and smashed the rushing shadows. The space that used to be a playground has turned into ruins.

“···········?”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who had been happily beating the shadows for a while, suddenly caught a strange signal.

he looked back

Apartment right next to the playground. In other words, the dong where the Cha Shin Hyeon siblings live.

The black color that began to color the ground and spread out gradually took over even that large building.

It didn’t look like an apartment, but a huge tombstone. Of course, none of these tombstones are so gloomy.

‘no way?’

Snow catches people

A 19-story black apartment, curved like a whip, fell over Cha Shin Hyeon’s head.

Aaaaaaaaah!

A section of several tens of meters was swept away. It was a relentless attack that even crushed other neighboring apartment buildings.

He easily escaped from the destruction range and was not injured, but watching it made me laugh out loud.

“What is this.”

It was the largest and most absurd attack out of all the attacks he had experienced since he was born. How could you ever experience the size of a weapon the size of an apartment!

Of course, the whip (?) is not disposable. The whip that had crushed the ground was swung sideways this time. It was in a dome with a radius of 50 meters, but since the apartment was about that high, it was difficult to avoid.

Then don’t avoid it.

Cha Shin Hyeon raised her fist towards the flying apartment.

It looked no different from a mere human punching a tsunami, but in terms of power, Cha Shin Hyeon was the tsunami.

Quad Duck!

The back of the apartment exploded. The upper part of the apartment, cut off in the middle, rolled on the ground.

But, as I’ve experienced before, these black things don’t give up easily.

Even though only the base remained, the apartment still boasting a height of several tens of meters was still targeting Cha Shin Hyeon.

The upper part, which rolled on the ground, was attached to the ground and became a new building.

The land, which had been dyed black from the beginning, is still targeting him.

The whole small world ran rampant against him and tried to crush him.

bang! Whoops! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Of course, there was no power to break through Cha Shin Hyeon’s strength. But no matter how much he smashed it, it was meaningless. The broken fragments stick to each other, grow bigger, and attack again.

When the war situation was in a stalemate, Lee Ji-hye reappeared.

She stood at the top of the shadow of an apartment building that still maintained its height.

Cha Shin Hyeon’s gaze turned towards him.

She then boarded over the shadow swung by Lee Ji-hye and she flew quickly to Cha Shin Hyeon.

Shh!

The meaning of a surprise attack has diminished, but the situation is different from before. A mass of shadows are trying to eat Cha Shin Hyeon from all sides. It wasn’t something she could only defend with Lee Ji-hye.

Cha Shin Hyeon kept an eye on Lee Ji-hye, as she constantly poured out her energy and cleaned her surroundings.

Imbued with her power in her two daggers, she smashed her shadow at her last moments.

She accelerates further and shoots forward.

Cha Shin Hyeon stretched his right hand forward to respond face-to-face.

The dagger and the hand were about to collide, just before that.

Shh.

Lee Ji-hye’s body disappeared without any sign, then she popped right behind Cha Shin Hyeon. It happened in an instant.

It is not a high-speed linear movement, but a space movement that moves from point to point. Her existence was erased from the world and then appeared, just as in computer work, ‘cut’ and then ‘paste’.

Lee Ji-hye just pierced her dagger into Cha Shin Hyeon’s back.

She didn’t aim at her deadly heart or her liver, but there was no mercy in her hand as she stabbed her knife. It was Cha Shin Hyeon who told me not to look down on me and to do my best.

The two blades, convinced of success, flew silently and pierced deeply.

she thought so

“Ugh?!”

Just before she touched the hem of Cha Shin Hyeon’s robe, Lee Ji-hye stopped.

No, she didn’t stop, she stopped. forcibly.

no one caught it It’s not even blocked by a wall. It’s not like he’s changed his mind.

There was nothing stopping her from her.

Still, Lee Ji-hye could not pierce her dagger. She couldn’t move as if she had been subdued by the demon blood.

It was a situation that I couldn’t explain because I couldn’t understand it myself, but if I force myself to express it… … .

Should I call it a feeling of ‘no stabbing is allowed’?

bang!

Cha Shin Hyeon lightly shattered the shadow that Lee Ji-hye used as a springboard, still flying to attack him. He took a step forward and turned back.

“Three seconds over.”

As if those words were a signal, the restraints of her body were released.

However, Lee Ji-hye lost the will to attack any more.

The world she had been wriggling in a while ago suddenly stopped. As if she tried to make a model of a city out of clay and failed properly, the black shapes scattered around in disorder were bizarre.

“Tell me about your evaluation.”

Cha Shin Hyeon opened her mouth as she looked at Lee Ji-hye, who was stunned.

“Assuming we are fighting in this world, we can kill even the best people in the world. without taking any damage. What is your Hunter level?”

“It’s level 65.”

“Then the synergy seems to be quite large.”

Seo Kang-jin, who was a level 50 hunter, was similar in strength to the ultimate master. If so, it can be assumed that the level 65 hunter is a stronger, more powerful teenager.

So, it is said that if Lee Ji-hye’s abilities are separated, it can be divided into a teenage expert Mu-in and a teenage high-level hunter… … .Can two teenage masters work together to kill the best person in the world without any damage?

Of course, being the first person in the world always refers to the strongest uninhabited person ‘in the current generation’, so the power of the first person under the world is different for each generation. But no matter how weak he was, he wasn’t that weak.

It seemed to Cha Shin Hyeon that 1 plus 1 was not 2, but 4 or so. At least in Lee Ji-hye’s case, the synergy between Mujin and Hunter was really excellent.

“Is that so…….”

Despite hearing her praise, Lee Ji-hye’s expression looked complicated.

“But I haven’t touched a single hem of your clothes, so I’m not very confident. You were the first person in the world, weren’t you?”

“Yeah, it was ‘I’ who was the best in the world.”

Cha Shin Hyeon stresses the past tense.

“If it was me at the time, I would have been beaten. At least it would have been classic. It’s just that even after I grew older and became the master of the previous generation, I continued to train and kept improving.”

“… … How far have you gone?”

“Your last attack was really good.”

Cha Shin Hyeon changed the subject for a while.

“I never thought I would jump over space. But it was not successful. What do you think is blocking it?”

“well······.”

She made a face that Lee Ji-hye did not know at all.

“Moorim’s status window has a description of the state next to the level. Do you know what I mean?”

“Yes.”

Here’s an example of her status window:

Outer work: Level 32 (The state of the invincible self-defense god)

Inner strength: level 31 (the state of the gear sword)

Total: level 63

If you look at the level part separately, it looks like this.

The level was to indicate one’s level in numbers so that it was easy to understand, and the words in parentheses meant that Moorim called this level.

“There is a stage that will be unlocked when you reach level 40.”

“Level 40…….”

Unlike a hunter, who raises a level just by catching a monster, Jihye Lee knows how difficult it is to raise a level for an uninhabited person. Especially the higher the level.

She said that her level 40 was a far cry from her. Since you can’t raise either external or internal skills, if you’re level 40, your external skills will be comparable to that.

“ Cha Shin Hyeon said he was level 80 or higher…?”

Instead of answering with a smile, Cha Shin Hyeon gently raised her hand.

Lee Ji-hye’s eyes naturally follow her fingertips.

She stretched her arms toward the sky, and clenched her fists except for her index finger. As if drawing her straight line, Cha Shin Hyeon drew her index finger in the air.

“The name of the stage is Heart Sword Image.”

No strong earth winds were fired, nor did the rivers erupt like fireworks. It was just an ordinary finger pointing.

Actually, it’s not really a meaningful action.

It’s just a performance to show Lee Ji-hye visually more clearly. It was a free move.

However, the results were not without meaning.

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooll from above

the sky was torn

Once activated, the gray world that should continue to exist until Lee Ji-hye herself releases it was torn apart by Cha Shin Hyeon’s will.

The sky of the cracked world eventually shattered, revealing the dark night sky outside.

At that moment, the shadow play skill was completely canceled. Just as dust is washed away by water, the gray color disappears in an instant.

Suddenly, the two were standing on the playground that had returned to normal.

“This is the state of the sword that you usually think of.”

Cha Shin Hyeon’s calm voice pierced into Lee Ji-hye’s ears, who was lost in thought.
