I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling

85 – 【Geugyu Seryu (極柔世流編)】

─Swoop

Against the riot of slashing attacks that came like a heavy rain, Mystil Thein gently and leisurely drew lines in the air with the sword gently held in his hand over and over again.

It seemed to others to be absurdly foolish, like a child swinging a fragile reed at a rain of arrows.

‘I realized that my inevitable death was right around the corner, and I finally lost my mind! Mistiltein! ‘

In fact, Zenitz’s face, watching the act squarely, was painted with a smile that mingled half with her sneering at Mistiltein and half with her ecstasy at her own victory.

‘It’s very unfortunate that I couldn’t baptize you because I was taken alive…. Even the corpse of a strong man like that is quite useful. As for that guy… He will probably join the 5th bishop’s ‘city army’…. No, since the corpse will be shattered, it might be used as material for the 6th Bishop’s ‘Demon Soldier’.’

Zenitz, who was already confident that he had won, laughed heartily at the thought of how Mistiltein’s torn corpse would be used—

─Chang!

“——Huh?”

——The grinning sound resounded through his cavity, and his laughing expression froze.

──Chae-jae-jae-jae-jae-jae-jae-jae-jae-jae-jae-jae-jae-jae-jae-jae-jae

As if to inform Zenitz that the sound just wasn’t an auditory hallucination, dozens of high-pitched sounds began to fill the cavity.

Feeling that something was wrong with that sound, Zenitz hurriedly turned his gaze towards Mistiltein──

“What the hell…!? What the hell did you do…!?”

──I witnessed a ‘completely incomprehensible phenomenon’ and fell into great confusion.

-Swoop

As Mistiltein’s sword swung softly in the air,

Hwiik-

Zenitz’s slash, which came right in front of Misteltein and ‘didn’t touch’ the iron sword, was so naturally ‘reversed’…

-Cheong!

They collided with the slash that followed, offset each other and disappeared.

That very strange sight was repeated every time Mistiltein drew a smooth line in the air.

“What the heck, what are you talking about!!! That’s—!!!”

Zenitz, who even felt fear at the sight, sent out a series of slashes as if desperate….

“It’s useless.”

By Mistiltein’s sword, which was mercilessly swung, Zenitz’s desperate efforts were put to nothing.

What causes that incomprehensible shape is… The mystery of That Misteltein realized in the face of death.

【Geugyu Seryu Edition (極柔世流編)】

It was created by weaving together the ‘enlightenment of space’ derived from high-level space magic and the ‘enlightenment of swordsmanship’——a ‘space-distorting demonic sword’.

Beyond letting go of the opponent’s attacks, handling them at will——It was a gimmick that could be said to be the ultimate swordsmanship of “Manipulating the flow of the world.”

‘A softness that has reached its peak, weaves even the flow of the world.’

Swoop-

An invisible ‘flow’ created in the air whenever the sword is swung.

The slash that enters the ‘flow’ is reversed according to the flow, just like nature’s principle that water flows from top to bottom, and is offset with other slashes.

Zenitz is now looking at that scene with eyes filled with despair, beyond the emotion of fear.

Without missing such an opportunity, I approached Zenitz in an instant, swung the sword firmly in his hand from top to bottom, and Zenitz ──

─Seoguk

──It was cut.

“──Kuuu!!!”

Zenitz screams in agony as blood oozes from the wound on his left arm, which was neatly cut to the shoulder. Although he instinctively twisted his body to avoid the sword sword aiming at his neck, he could not completely avoid it.

“As much as you…! Even if I die, I will definitely kill you——!!!”

Shoo-!

Zenitz, whose eyes were filled with veins and glaring, pierced me with the sword he was still holding on to his remaining right arm.

What greeted Zenitz like that…

“Only you die.”

──Fire!

I made it by recovering all the magical power I was using for ——It was a blood-red fire that held immense heat.

Intermediate Fire Magic 「Beads of Beads」

Triple triple overlapping

『Red Salt Wine』

──Quaaa!!!!!

The pillar of flame emanating super heat from my palm engulfed the devil’s follower with a stunned look on his face.

“───!!!!!!”

Sosa, which is said to be one of the most painful deaths in the world.

Zenitz, who had been forcibly aware of it as his whole body was burning, let out a soundless agony with his throat that had already been burned without a trace──

Puss…

──It turned into a handful of ashes.

[The level of Has risen!]

[Acquire the title ”!]

[Acquire the attribute !]

[Muscle strength increases……

[Agility is higher……

“Hey hey hey!!! (Owner niyyyim!!!)”

“Mr. Misteltain…!”

After defeating Zenitz, a system message pops up so explosively that it fills the field of view, and Baekmyeon and Ezerina run from far away with worried faces.

“Whoa…”

I checked them out of the corner of my eye and let out a long breath, relaxing my entire body.

******

A small room magically hidden in a corner of the pupil.

There, I was flipping through a piece of paper that had something written on it in the room.

“…Hmm. Is this all useful information?”

“Shhh! (Master! Here again!)”

“Ah, thanks. Baek.”

I received the data that Baekmyeon handed over and took a picture with the communicator (similar to a smartphone) distributed by the academy. It was transmitted to the crystal sphere for communication in the dark tomb.

The test communicator (I’m calling it a smartphone) made in this production department will be inoperable unless there is a communication tower with a special barrel magic installed in the academy….

Because I myself can reproduce the function of the communication tower with . It could be used normally outside the academy.

‘Then… Shall we settle the growth of this battle?’

Once I roughly finished my work, I opened the status window and looked at it in detail.

Strength : 52 (C) → 56 (C+)

Agility: 58 (C+) → 62 (B-)

Durability: 50 (C) → 55 (C+)

HP: 51 (C) → 57 (C+)

HP : 70 (B+) → 72 (B+)

Sense: 68 (B+) → 70 (B+)

First of all, the stats. As this battle was fierce, the growth rate of [Breaking the Limit] Rose to the highest level, and as it was a battle where almost all types of stats were used, as a result, all stats rose very steeply.

At this level, the growth rate is similar to clearing about 20 dungeons…… No, it seemed better than that.

‘As expected, the actual battle at the risk of one’s life grows the fastest….’

I can’t fight a life-threatening battle like this every day, though.

I am still physically and mentally exhausted even after the battle. When fatigue builds up like that, in the end, you will make a decisive mistake in real battle and die in a daze.

‘… Well, anyway, if you fight the demon church like today, you’ll risk your life against such a formidable enemy quite often, so there’s no need to force it.’

Remembering the thorny road of hardship that lay ahead of me, I put on a slightly confused expression.

It’s good to have many opportunities for growth, but wouldn’t it be too much… ?

‘… Anyway, next is the function.’

I quickly glanced at only the parts that had grown in the long stretched feature section.

＜(Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Thursday, Light) Magic LV5 → LV6＞

NEW

‘Ugh…. That’s a lot.’

First of all, this time, all the basic 7 attribute magics (including dark magic, which was originally LV6) have risen to LV6, just before LV7, where advanced magic can be used.

‘The level of magic will naturally rise if you continue to use magic like this….’

… If there is an opportunity, I have a strange feeling that it will rise at once.

‘I wonder if I should go to Professor Markard’s lab next time….’

When I think of Professor Markard, who looked at me with clear, madman-like eyes, never being pushed back by the maddened eyes of a follower of demons, my steps involuntarily become heavy….

‘It would be nice to go there…. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t interested at all.’

I decided to pay a visit to Professor Marquard the next time, so I checked other things.

These two reached LV7.

In other words, he has reached the stage where he can be called a master in this field….

In the first place, I had a talent that could be called a disaster when it comes to magical power, but since I was able to handle the same skill freely beyond anyone’s imagination, there wasn’t such a huge change.

Still, basic abilities such as maximum output and mana-to-mass enhancement ratio have improved by ‘half a factor’ compared to before, so even if there are no major changes, they are very good.

‘ Seems to be referring to the technique I used earlier that absorbs mana in its natural state while fighting and purifies it on the fly to restore the body’s magic.’

Assuming that I use that function while standing in one place, even if I shoot intermediate level magic at a rate of 1 per second, I will be able to create a terrifying scene where my magic power is always at its highest.

It can be said that it is the same as a battery that fires shells that hit a range of several meters at a rate of one per second, and a battery that can fire more than 10 times per second if you set your mind to it.

‘Hmm. I made it on the spot, but I got a very useful skill.’

If other battle wizards knew this skill, wouldn’t they want their hands coming out of their necks?

Well, in order to acquire this skill, you must have at least an A-class attribute related to minimum magical power.

‘The reason why the level of skills related to space such as And Has risen…… It’s probably because of the [Geugyu Seryu Edition] That I created this time.’

Thanks to not only the realization of the martial arts, but also the realization of the space, all abilities related to space have increased thanks to the creation of an occult that interferes with space.

‘Thanks to that, I think I can use , Which is famous for being extremely tricky and delicate, even during intense battles.’

From noble mtl dot com

I laughed with satisfaction at the fact that the means I could use in battle increased.

‘Next, the new acquired attribute …… Well, I can tell just by looking at the name.’

As a simple test, I bent my wrist back.

Took-

Then, the back of the hand easily touched the back of the arm. For an ordinary person, it was almost impossible to break it, but it was not so burdensome.

When I bent my ankle as a test, I was able to confirm that it was bent almost 90 degrees.

‘… It’s my body, but it’s flexible enough to be a bit disgusting.’

I felt like I had become some kind of mollusk.

‘Well, that’s just how it feels. It’s a very useful feature, though. Especially for a swordsman, flexibility of the wrist is one of the most important things.’

With this kind of flexibility like a mollusk, you should be able to use Much more smoothly than before acquiring the attribute.

“Alright…Then let’s go, Baek.”

“Shee!”

After confirming everything I had to check, I wrapped the cotton around my neck and left the hidden room.

“Ah… Are you done with your errands, Mr. Mistiltein?”

Ezerina, carrying her younger sister on her back, greets me with a somewhat weak expression.

In front of her lay the upright bodies of many severely mutilated people.

“They…”

“……Yes. They are the neighbors of the town I lived in.”

“……Is that so?”

At the words of Ezerina, who looked as if she was about to shed tears at any second, I silently bowed my head deeply with the meaning of offering to the corpses of the villagers.

Ezerina looked at me with grateful eyes and bowed her head just like me.

… Perhaps it was because of his mood, but somehow the mana filled with negative emotions in his cavity seemed to fade.

“Then… Let’s get out of this damn place, Mistiltein-nim.”

As she lifted her head, the deep sadness disappeared from Ezerina’s eyes, and the light of her strong will lingered.

“…Ah, yes.”

I looked at her indigo blue eyes, shining like jewels, as if bewitched… Holding her outstretched hand, he drew a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

“I’ll use To return to the city at once. Hold tight so you don’t miss it.”

“Yes!……Yes? Right now, you are using That only the highest level mages can barely use——”

Shook-

At the end of Ezerina’s voice full of doubts and astonishment, the figures of three people and one bird disappeared from the wide cavity.
