268. East, Cheonseon Academy (33)

“Sahye, no matter how you think about it, it seems dangerous…”

Jin Yeoring grumbled while climbing the rocky hill.

The woman who climbed the rocky hill ahead of her was Hye, her company.

“If not like this, when do you think you will be able to see the skills of masters at the Hwagyeong level again?”

“But… The teachers said it was dangerous…”

“Aren’t you curious about the inaction of that ‘black blood’?”

“…I wonder.”

“Then keep your mouth shut and come up. If you get caught, you might be penalized.”

“……”

Soon, Jin Yeo-lyeong gave up on tackling her further and quietly climbed the rocky hill.

Even halfway through the climb, she heard a roar over the hill and stopped and flinched, but in the end she was able to climb the rocky hill.

“Puha… What a mess…”

As she stood on top of the hill and licked her hands, Dangsa Hye muttered.

A part of the spacious academic hall was completely ruined, leaving only the remains of the buildings.

“That thing appeared this time…”

In the center of it was a giant rock monster in the shape of a human.

“If such a huge guy hits the ground like that, the entire Sky Island would resonate.”

“Black blood is…”

“Looks like we’re fighting.”

“I can’t see it well… Is it hard to kill a monster like that at once, no matter how black-blooded it is?”

“Wait, Sahye. Look over there. There’s something.”

Queen Yeo-ling soon discovered something and pointed to the sky. Immediately, Dang Sang-hye’s eyes followed where she pointed.

The pink sky at dawn was as beautiful as ever.

A black object was falling there.

I don’t know what it is or how it’s falling from such a height, but it’s hard to explain that it’s simply an ordinary fall.

“Black Star…”

Something black that fell like a meteor shower pierced his tail and blew away in the strong wind.

“No, that’s a person.”

Suddenly, Qin Yeoring made that assertion.

“Human?”

“Yes, if you focus your energy on your eyes, you can see things a little far away. Originally, Master taught me to observe herbivores carefully…”

“Introspection…? You learn everything from fortune tellers…?”

“……”

“No, I mean great. I envy you. Seriously. So, who do you see?”

“No, I don’t know who it is. Judging from the fact that he brought out a sword or something, he doesn’t seem to be of black blood. Maybe it’s one of the other instructors.”

I could see it in Yeoryeong Jin’s eyes.

As he fell vertically from the sky, he seemed to be holding a sword.

Instantly, he swung his sword at the beast below.

Qin Liu Ling, she thought for a moment that she had misunderstood herself.

Because he fell on the head of the beast and was far away from the beast.

The sword spirit didn’t even come out of his sword.

But a strange sound that she shouldn’t hear rings in her ears.

ㅡ BEAUTIFUL!! Awesome!!!!!

The outer skin of the ghost tree was splitting into several branches.

From this point on, Dang Sanghye could be confirmed with the naked eye.

“What the hell is going on…?”

Jin Liu Ling could not reply to the muttering of her Tang Dynasty Hui. Because even she couldn’t figure out what was going on.

It was blooming.

ㅡFoohwaahak!!!!!

The outer skin of a ghost beast that had cracked open like a flower bud was opening, and there was another giant of an old tree in it, and an unidentified thick pink smoke was emanating from its body.

Yeo-ryeong Jin, who had this in her eyes, spilled her doubts.

“Maehwa…?”

“Maehwa? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“That’s the plum leaf…”

Thousands and tens of thousands of plum blossom leaves were sprouting from the Yosu’s body, which had completely shed itself.

“……”

Because it was a monster of a bizarre form he had never seen before, Yeoryeong Jin was speechless.

In another sense, I had to keep my mouth shut.

She was even more reticent because it reminded her of an extinct school that used plum blossoms as a symbol.

“What happened? The monster split apart… I can’t believe it… Has the battle already ended?”

“No… I think from now on…”

Jin Yeo-ryeong didn’t know exactly what was going on, but she guessed that as she caught sight of a man falling over Yosu.

Falling, he put his sword back into its scabbard.

It was only after that that she heard a series of loud noises that pierced her ears.

Hundreds of thousands of red sword lights and pink sword lights rained down around the witch who was scattering plum leaves.

Lady Qin, who watched the scene with her ears plugged, murmured softly.

“Jetto…?”

She once had that red sword glow in her eyes.

The gigantic explosion that occurred when the swords collided with each other was reminiscent of the sword dance between ‘Wei Zihan’, the head of the Tianxian Academy, and ‘Zeto’, a blind swordsman from the West.

“How…?”

And that was impossible.

Her face wasn’t even reflected where Wieja Han-eun went in an emergency situation, and didn’t Zeto meet her at the unarmed place where she was just now?

On the other hand, Dang Sang-hye, who did not miss such a question of Jin Yeo-ryeong even in the midst of a loud binge, thought to herself.

‘He’s been talking about something ever since. Did I really fall for the heart?’

***

ㅡ Tak.

During a glide-level fall, I put ‘Sierra’ into the scabbard. There was no need to wield the sword cumbersomely anymore.

The curious thing is that ‘Sierra’ did not fall out of the scabbard even though the scabbard was facing down.

‘Ha, if this is a fantasy, then it should be called a fantasy.’

Sierra was a useful tool with many convenient features.

I soon got rid of my wandering thoughts by focusing on the countless plum blossom leaves below.

From now on, a lot of concentration was required.

I scattered my senses to locate all the plum leaves.

“Kuhup…”

With that alone, my head hurt like it would break, and it came to the point of vomiting blood, but I held back and calculated the best sword path.

‘Okay. It was absurd madness.’

It was to the point where I could feel why Sierra, who trusted me so much and stayed on the sidelines every time, stopped me this time.

But it was too late for her to regret it.

After finishing the calculations in time, I shouted at Priscilla, who was hiding below.

“Priscilla!!!”

I had to clear Priscilla’s path first.

At my cry, Priscilla jumped over the ruined building and landed her foot on her wall.

ㅡ Kudeug… Boom!!!

The speed was much faster than I expected.

Despite knowing that even one of those countless plum leaves would shatter her body if she brushed against it, Priscilla did not slow down and rushed toward Wii Zihan at a faster rate than before.

It was a move based entirely on trust, without the slightest hesitation.

Then it was my turn to repay the trust.

Priscilla’s final leap.

I tore off a part of the plum blossom that was blocking her path.

As soon as the plum leaves part, Wei Zihan’s sword strikes soar in the air.

My sword strike and Wei Zihan’s sword strike collided, and the plum blossom leaves around it cracked as Wei Zihan’s sword extended from a random location.

ㅡQua Gaga Gak!!!!!!

Some say it’s a chain reaction.

With a single sword strike, he split as many plum leaves as possible, and Wei Zihan’s sword strike in response cut off the plum leaves that were around it.

It would have been nice if it ended with a single sword strike, but I had to cover Priscilla so that Ouija Han’s sword, extending from her plum leaf, would not reach Priscilla.

ㅡ Kang! Caan!!

ㅡKagagak!

Red sword light splattered around Priscilla.

My vision is getting blurry.

‘Hold on a little longer.’

Within seconds, Priscilla safely broke through the plum blossoms pouring down on her, and she landed on the center of the giant Ouija Han, which was made of old trees.

What is the final blow she prepared?

Standing on Ouija Han’s skin, Priscilla took out her dagger, which emitted pure white light.

As I sensed her movements, I tilted my head naturally even in the middle of falling.

‘Did you just create a sword with divine power…?’

It was completely out of common sense.

That’s because mana and holy power are separate auras with completely different uses and properties.

Making sword steel with mana and sword steel with divine power were two different things.

In the first place, I didn’t even know there was a person other than the saintess who could do such a thing.

‘Even with a dagger.’

Only then, whether you are a low-level beginner player or a high-level veteran player, regardless of level, if you meet the conditions, you can understand the level of ‘Ghost of the Holy Kingdom’, which ended with kidnapping and confinement.

‘That’s it…’

Priscilla seems to have the intention of splitting Wei Zihan in half with sword steel.

‘…I can’t miss the last hit.’

I needed to level up as I had already used up a lot of her stamina just to break through Priscilla’s path.

Priscilla thrust a dagger into Yui Jahan’s heart.

The white sword steel, which was increasing in length, completely pierced Wei Zihan’s body.

From noble mtl dot com

Right away, the sword river surged upward.

ㅡQuad deed deed!!!

I poured all my remaining stamina into Wei Zihan’s body, which Sword Gang had split, and pierced it with a sword strike.

“Kooooo!!!”

Wei Zihan, who was quiet while scattering plum leaves, screams in pain as his body begins to split in half.

ㅡQuad Deuk!!!!!

How many sword strikes did he put in in that short time of just a few seconds?

“……”

The dying words of Wei Zihan, which had stabbed his ears, ceased.

‘Last burning…’

Around the time when such a thought passed through my head as I saw the plum blossom leaves that were just around the corner.

The suddenly popped up status window covers my front.

[ Solved the quest out of the world line! ]

[ Resolve the quest ‘Assassinate Wiijahan’! ]

[ Achieving ‘A Human Beyond the World Line’ Achievement! ]

[ Recalculating world line… ]

Oh, suddenly our status window does something that it doesn’t do. The guy who hadn’t said a word about quests.

‘Rather than that, does this fall under the category of ‘assassination’?’

Anyway, the important thing right now is that I felt my body filling up with energy.

Your level has risen.

It seems that he managed to hit the last blow somehow.

After taking my eyes off the status window without even checking how much the level had risen, I immediately looked at the plum blossom leaves that were spreading without splitting.

In the end, it goes against cause and effect.

I embroidered a sword that I hadn’t even wielded in a place I shouldn’t have been able to reach.

ㅡ Kwakwang!!! Kwaaang!!!!

There were so many plum leaves that my head exploded.

I don’t care if Wii Zihan’s sword that came out of the plum leaf was the twenty-four plum sword method or the zixingong. Just like a machine, Maehwa was just scattering foot and foot sword strikes that touched the spirit.

Soon after, the explosions heard in succession and the black light that covered the front disappeared, and the floor began to be visible.

‘It’s done.’

I barely made it.

Now that all the plum blossoms have disappeared, there will be no more accidental victims or students and cadets in the academy from being injured by falling plum leaves outside the Sky Island.

The only thing left now is a stable landing.

I immediately put my sword into the old tree that was ‘Wui Zihan’ where the red circle disappeared.

ㅡ Kwadeudeuk!

At the same time, I threw Arachne’s thread from my bosom and wrapped it around his arm to support his falling body as much as possible.

“……”

I couldn’t swallow the blood that was filling up, so eventually blood came out of my mouth and dripped down my chin.

When I got close to the floor, I fell down as it was because my body lost all strength.

I hit the rubble of a building and then I rolled down.

“Puhaa… Use it…”

I stretched out right on the spot and couldn’t even stand up, so I could barely swallow the fishy blood.

My physical condition was unreasonable.

I had to cast three chapters in a row while recovering through leveling up, so it was probably a natural result.

‘Recovery because Priscilla is here…’

The real problem was next.

It was the human subject’s turn to pay the price for daring to go against cause and effect.

ㅡ Rumble…

Dark-colored dark clouds began to gather in the clear sky.

[ This is scolded. ]

Sierra looked up at the sky while intently looking down at me who had fallen down.

‘Shady… I left it…’

I tried to look at the status window to see if I could get anything out of it, but my vision was blurry.

‘I need to call Priscilla…’

I couldn’t even open my mouth.

At the point where I kept closing my eyes, I heard a voice from the other side. But I couldn’t hear whose voice it was or what it was saying.

At the same time, a huge dark cloud gathered around me flashed.

After that, I couldn’t open my eyes.

***

When I came to my senses, the back of my head felt soft.

This soft feeling was probably the knee of an unknown woman.

“Priscilla…?”

In a weary voice, I called the name of the woman who supposedly owned her knee.

“……”

I opened my eyes because there was no answer.

The platinum-haired girl who was looking down at me had a pouty face.

Unfortunately, that was the wrong answer.

“Well, is it enough to find the medical officer…”

Eisel, whose expression immediately relaxed, muttered.

“Ms. Eisel…?”

“Yes, I am here.”

“Miss Eisel is here…”

I still feel dizzy.

Looking at the same pink sky as before, it seems that not much time has passed.

“Jetto, did you think I would be fooled twice?”

“Ah…”

It seems Shady’s true identity was discovered by her.

I see.

Twice was impossible.

“What did you do? You didn’t say anything.”

“That’s… I don’t want Miss Eisel to be in danger.”

“But Zeto was in danger. No, it seems he’s already in a pretty dangerous state.”

Eisel, who was giving me a pillow for her lap, started beating me by telling me the truth.

“Still, I haven’t lost much.”

I won an achievement I didn’t even know existed.

I wonder what the other rewards are, but I’ll put it off until later.

Rather than that, how am I alive?

Have you developed resistance to lightning after being hit by a thousand eons?

“Jetto, I have a question.”

“What is it?”

“Can you tell me why the lightning struck Zeto?”

“hahahaha, kuhup… Puhahahaha… Lightning strike…?”

I spilled blood while laughing and tried to smile. Just as I was thinking about him, Eisel asked a sharp question like a ghost.

“Please don’t pretend.”

Eisel pokes my cheek and wipes the blood from her mouth with her own hands.

“As long as you live, there may be lightning strikes. I must have had a little bad luck.”

“No matter how unlucky it is. Do you think it makes sense that lightning strikes dozens of times precisely aimed at Zeto?”

Dozens of lightning strikes.

Yes. It can’t go beyond bad luck.

[It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a woman who cuts off her thousand eons with her bare hands…]

Then, with Sierra’s serious voice echoing in her head, she was able to infer what had happened.

Shady was discovered by Aisel, and she immediately came here. Aisel, an unexpected guest of hers, appeared and Priscilla seemed to hide her body as it was.

I expected Priscilla to move me away from the eons, but she thought that Eisel would appear and become her shield.

It must have been a thunderbolt of tremendous firepower, but Eisel seemed to have blocked the thousand eons without a single wound on her.

I wonder if she was also growing hers before I knew it.

“Well, maybe God punished me.”

At my words, Eisel eventually bursts into laughter.

“Poohw, stop talking nonsense. Why would a god punish this annoyingly nice guy?

The corners of her mouth naturally go up at Eisel’s calm smile as she looked down at me.

“I mean.”
