Became an Academy Spearman

831. [Western Front] – Second opening (107)

***

Discomfort.

Discomfort… … .

Anastasia woke up with a strange alarm.

Something strange.

And that we need to be more cautious and cautious.

‘There’s something.’

We will soon be able to see the powerful beings who are supposed to be the Nine Apostles.

Sara la la rock… … !

As I watched the silver hair fluttering through the heavy air of the dark area, my heart sank to a deeper level.

While I was thinking about launching a second opening at once, I kept thinking that there would be more.

‘There’s clearly a plan.’

The nine apostles knew me from long ago.

My presence too.

My characteristics too.

How strong am I?

They already have enough attention and information about me.

If so, it would never have appeared without any preparation.

-The idea that there are two nine apostles.

That was the worst variable, as long as the two energies still existed. Even when I tried to think of variables I should consider, nothing came to mind.

‘If you are aiming for a time when you can use the skill along with the second opening.’

I don’t think I’ll lose.

No matter how carefully I thought about the possibility of my defeat and the plans the apostle had prepared, none of that meant much in the face of my power.

‘The power to freeze even space and time.’

I was now able to use the power that I had handled imperfectly at the moment of the previous sealing, to the point where I was able to get on track to some extent.

No matter how strong the two apostles are, their light will fade in the face of extreme cold that stops even space and time.

“… … .”

Suddenly, the death of the main character came to mind.

A few months ago, Redric Petelea met death along with two of the nine apostles. Even when I thought of that example, my heart did not change.

Because I think that and mine are completely different cases.

… … But what on earth is this sense of discomfort?

It’s just around the corner now.

If you jump across the ground just three more times, you will be able to see the nine apostles with your naked eyes.

“Let each of you develop openness and never step forward. “The battle against the apostles that will follow will be conducted solely by me.”

I am aware of the officers who speak coldly and follow me.

“yes. “I understand.”

“… … “I will keep that in mind.”

Answers from Ben Gale and Leria.

In addition, answers were also heard from the elite officers of the Silver Wing and the Red Wing. In addition, Gezer, a special officer, conducts an opening with them.

Nowadays, countless different areas of openness overlap.

‘are you okay.’

What I am taking them with is the aftermath of opening up. So, the idea was to prevent the aftermath of the dark zone from reaching other fronts.

By dealing with opening, the aftermath of force can also be controlled indirectly.

That means that even if a huge battle broke out that devastated space, they could control even the surrounding influences within their respective areas.

ㅡ!

As soon as I hit the ground and went through space again, the ice fragments around me shot out as if they were splitting countless darkness.

Shoo shoo shoo shoo!!!

And as the darkness was torn apart by the influence of ice, illuminating the space, I was able to face the nine apostles who could be said to be the source of disaster.

Ok.

As soon as I landed on the ground, I stopped backwards with my left hand.

From here on, they were not to approach any further.

Although I will watch the battle between me and the nine apostles from afar, I will control the power that will come as I open myself.

Above all.

‘Because it’s dangerous to go any further than this.’

No matter how strong my power of opening was, I had to consider the possibility that the power of the nine apostles would escape.

“Are they the nine apostles?”

While muttering, my eyes caught a man in the distance who seemed to be carrying red flames.

Red hair, a strong look, even the way he stares at me with languid eyes.

Again… … It was in human form.

For some reason, the clones of the nine apostles I encountered last time and the actual bodies of the nine apostles I encountered now have a strangely human appearance.

It was just very unpleasant for me.

“As expected, it’s Anastasia.”

The corner of my eyes twitched at the voice that rang even more clearly.

Suddenly, I kept my mouth shut while aiming my ice sword at him.

‘Question and answer dance.’

All that remains is to execute the apostle. Dialogue with an apostle is in itself extremely unnecessary.

“Second opening!”

With a strong cry, the pent-up power suddenly erupts in a huge way.

Saaa… … … … … … … … … !!!

A gigantic, swirling feast of light. And the pure white chill that was rushing through me took on a strange light, as if it was changing itself.

There is a being that can handle the secondary opening.

In the current empire, it would barely fill one hand, including mine.

No matter how strange the nine apostles’ tricks and schemes are, you won’t know unless you encounter them.

… … ! … … … … … !!!

Countless crystals of pure white light were layered over the ice sword, and a strange light was embroidered on the officer’s uniform, embracing me brightly.

For a moment, even the world slows down as if it had stopped, and everything is caught in Asurai’s eyes.

“… … .”

And within it, the nine apostles still maintain their positions and do nothing.

Even when I saw the second opening unfolding, it seemed as if they were taking their time.

‘It doesn’t matter.’

Whatever you decorate.

Nothing has meaning in the face of overwhelming power.

“Ice flower.”

With a cold voice, hundreds of flowers made of ice fill the space, as if responding to my will. And soon, even the darkness around it is completely driven away.

Come on.

The moment the sword was aimed at the apostle, it cut down the atmosphere with a single sword.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■!!!

A strange sound that seemed to cut through space rang out.

Hundreds of crystals forming ice flowers rush towards the apostle, each filled with light.

There was no doubt that it was an absolute force of destruction, a cold force that would kill every living thing it touched.

However, the moment I realized that I wouldn’t be able to finish it in one fell swoop.

ㅡKkieeeeek… … !

A very small sound reached my ears again.

It was so minute that even I felt like it was an illusion for a moment.

‘No, it can’t be an illusion.’

What was unfolding now was not a simple opening, but a secondary opening.

Since I had already acquired senses that were far beyond those of humans, there was no way I could be mistaken.

“… … !”

So, in a sense of time where the world seemed to have stopped, I looked urgently at my surroundings instead of at the nine apostles.

What is it?

What on earth caused the sound to appear?

Where does the sound come from?

And in the midst of such a difficult time that it is difficult to feel that time has passed… … .

I noticed that there were no traces anywhere.

That’s why I raised my head.

To the sky, the blind spot of vision.

“… … .”

I soon saw everything stopped and I felt like I was moving alone.

‘What is that… … ?’

It was a strange sphere.

It was as if it existed completely colorless, floating in the air, and had a strangely non-existent presence.

I couldn’t feel any force, and I wouldn’t have even noticed it if I hadn’t raised my head to hear the strange, subtle sound.

■■■■■!!!

Dozens of ice flowers, manifested according to will, rush towards that sphere at once.

That was almost no time difference from when I cut down the nine apostles in front of me.

And saw.

Wow… … !!

A colorless sphere suddenly took shape and engulfed me.

‘It explodes!’

In the midst of endlessly accelerating thoughts, I believed in the power of cold crystals.

No matter what it is, the moment it touches the cold flower that has the power of secondary opening.

Either it will explode or its shape will shatter into pieces… … .

That was the moment I thought about it.

Tuk.

The moment when only one of the dozens of ice crystals touched it.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ ■■!!

An intangible sphere that suddenly grew in size as if covering all directions enveloped me.

“… … !”

In the midst of the accelerating thought, I instinctively swung the knife.

The completion of an unprecedented ceremony that even used the power of ice-making as a catalyst.

‘Sealing ceremony!’

Therefore, I realized that it was a sealing ceremony that was completely different from the past.

It’s not based on any significant amount of power either. The entire body of this colorless sphere that surrounds me now is equivalent to the presence of one of the nine apostles.

That meant only one thing.

-Sacrifice.

The nine apostles who appeared before my eyes now sacrificed the other nine apostles along with their own power to create an absurd sealing ceremony.

‘Doing something ridiculous… … !’

I had to tear this sphere apart in one fell swoop.

The moment this level of sealing was completely established, even I couldn’t easily escape.

***

“Second opening!”

… … ! … … … … … !!!

A place far away.

And the moment we face the disaster called the Nine Apostles. Anastasia immediately burst out with great power.

“… … what.”

“Second opening… … .”

The vast majority of officers who were watching her could not help but be entranced at that moment.

Each of them was developing their own opening and realizing their own area with numerous colors.

Nevertheless, even among veteran officers who had been on the battlefield for many years, very few officers saw Anastasia’s second opening. Therefore, the main officers of the Silver Wing and the Red Wing also blankly lost their minds at the manifestation of power unfolding before their eyes.

A massive mana storm.

No, the core of mana explodes like crazy, endlessly devouring space.

The concept of ‘openness’ was originally about coloring a space of a certain radius as one’s own. A state in which greater power is expressed within that space and is not interfered with by external forces.

However, Anastasia’s second opening had already completely surpassed that.

Sararak!

Cheonseong, who was staring blankly at Anastasia through his black hair blowing wildly in the huge storm of mana, was no exception.

‘What the… … .’

Could there be mana outside the standard?

Previously open.

A manifestation of openness that is completely different from the creation of the extreme cold zone that engulfed the central area of ​​the red zone.

Extremely compressed mana that exists amidst a storm of felt mana.

The density of that mana… … I couldn’t even explain it in words.

The level is different.

No, it was a manifestation of such powerful power that it made you wonder if they were the same person.

It was as if a god with pure white silver hair had appeared and descended before me.

So, I was so overwhelmed for a moment that I even forgot about reality.

How dangerous is the situation now?

It’s also a situation where you can’t relax at all while facing the nine apostles.

“Binghwa!”

And without any surprise at the manifestation of such power, Anastasia swung her sword.

I couldn’t even see when I swung it, but the ice flower crystal with the light that seemed to engulf the entire space was a spectacle in itself.

It was that moment.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ.

Everything I felt through my vision slowed down for an instant.

A strange feeling as if the world was slowly coming to a halt.

It felt that way even though the way we think about the world was accelerating early on due to the opening up.

And then I saw a strange sight, as if I had pictured it with my eyes.

Ice flower crystals filled with light flow across space at an extremely slow pace. The absolutely fast speed now seems slow.

It seemed infinitely faster to me.

Anastasia suddenly looked around and suddenly raised her head.

Then, my eyes also turned unrealistically to the sky.

To catch something she saw.

“… … … … … .”

My hair turns pure white.

And something.

It comes back to me as if it were twisted and reappearing in my memory.

What is that?

The empty space of a dark area where there is nothing.

‘Something’ existed in the air filled with crystals of energy containing Anastasia’s light.

ㅡDeja vu.

I’ve never seen it or encountered it anywhere.

I already knew.

What is that?

What kind of power is that?

Slurp.

I moved my hand while feeling like the world had stopped.

No, I knew it was already too late to even move my hand.

That thing is already unstoppable.

Still, it has to be done.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■!!

Following my strong will, my spear quickly escapes my hand and quickly crosses the air. Even when I looked at the window embroidering the golden light trail, I didn’t even think about it.

What I saw and what I was trying to see.

I wonder why the window embroiders the space according to its will now… … .

But it arrived.

ㅡ!

Just as Anastasia’s appearance was about to disappear into color in an instant, my spear managed to land right next to her.

“transition!”

Looking at Anastasia, who had just disappeared from reality, I unleashed my power of openness with all my might.
