chapter 35
35 – Extraordinary Talent
***
Boom!
As Casimes swung her sword, she looked at the boy in front of her with her eyes mixed with admiration and half regret.
‘It is admirable that he perfectly imitated his swordsmanship…. I can’t use ‘myth’ with that alone.’
Lee Seon-woo’s swordsmanship, wielding the sword right in front of his eyes, was perfect even in the eyes of Cassimes himself. It’s like you’ve brought a mirror.
However, the magic trick cannot be used alone.
‘It is said that warriors who have reached the level of masters can put ‘images’ into the martial arts themselves.’
The most important thing in using five skills is the ‘intention’ that is put into swordsmanship. Physical abilities, skills, and mana management are just one of the essentials.
If you don’t have intentions, even if you follow the five intentions accurately, it’s no different than an empty shell.
‘If you wield the skills you have honed and polished with a firm image and strong will that can be called miasma… ‘
──Isn’t that what the mystery is?
The magic tricks of masters distort even the laws of the world.
Kwaang——!!!
Pud Deuk-!
“…Geugh!”
The amplified sword strike is wielded beyond common sense, and Lee Seon-woo’s hand that struck it is broken.
Perhaps the next attack will be the last.
‘Sorry, sorry…. If you were born into an aristocratic family with martial arts in your family, at least if you had someone to tell you about the upper level, you would have already invented the martial arts….’
A feeling of regret lingered in my mouth whenever I saw those who were born with brilliant talents but were not born with the right environment.
And when you meet such people, what Casimes can do….
‘I’ll break this old man…’ !’
To become an ordeal that blocks the opponent’s path.
If you’re talented like that, you must have tremendous pride in your talent.
Generally, such people are satisfied with their skills, so they don’t know what they lack.
Because they don’t know what’s lacking, they don’t have the ‘virulence’ to twist the world’s laws.
‘I’ll break you once. And if it happens there, I’ll be able to get a clue to the mystery.’
If you rebuild your once broken will, you will become stronger than before.
Having such an idea, Professor Casimes swung a greatsword to finish off Lee Seon-woo.
Bang───!!!!!!
“What—?!”
Received a shock more than expected, and bounced off a distance of several meters along with the greatsword.
The tingle he felt in his hand, Kasimes’s face turned in astonishment.
“No way…! Did you really succeed…?!”
At the end of Cassimes’ gaze, he didn’t even look at the hand that had begun to heal.
There was Lee Seon-woo, who was quietly aiming a sword at him.
“Hey…!”
The corner of Casimes’s mouth went up involuntarily when he saw Lee Seon-woo’s eyes.
Lee Seon-woo’s eyes were a mixture of clear speculation and a vicious spirit that would chew and swallow everything that stood in his way.
“…….”
Professor Cassimes quietly raised his sword and took a stance.
A student with eyes like that… No. Because there is only one thing that can be done for a junior warrior.
Lee Seon-woo and Casimes charged at the same time.
──Boom!
Swords collide with swords.
Bang-! Bang-! Bang-!
‘This guy… !’
If you look at the current situation from the outside, it looks nothing different from before, but….
Goosebumps ran down Cassimes’ back as they exchanged swords.
Her power amplification is still lower than her own, but….
Clearly, Seonwoo Lee’s sword attack was ‘amplifying beyond common sense’!
‘… Really. You mean it was stolen… ? My intentions… !?’
Even if the same weapon is used, as long as the school is not the same, each master’s skill is ‘different’.
If he had imagined himself endlessly slashing with the greatsword’s great sword.
The greatsword master who fought decades ago. In a single blow, I used a magic trick containing an image that shatters everything.
So, as long as he doesn’t teach me his swordsmanship in detail. Even if they are similar, ‘exactly the same secret’ cannot be used.
… However, a young genius with a shining talent right in front of his eyes. Through a short-lived struggle, he swallowed everything of his own swordsmanship.
Bang-! Bang-! Bang-!
‘Whoa, whoo, whoo! That’s great, really great!!’
Every time the swords collide, the ‘completeness’ of the secret skill goes up.
Bang—!!!
Every time he exchanges blows, Lee Seon-woo’s attitude, which was exactly the same as Kasimes’s, ‘changes’.
Even in the most perfect posture for Cassimes. Body size, weight, arm and leg length, muscle development, bone thickness… Etc. Lee Seon-woo, whose everything is different, must have felt a very slight foreign body even if he swung it in the same posture.
And now, it was ‘changing’.
Bang——!!!
The swords change each time they collide. While using Casimes’ swordsmanship, he was ‘adjusting’ it to suit his own body.
The talent of swordsmanship that seems to go blind. The great swordsmanship Cassimes perfected over decades is broken into pieces, disassembled, and ‘reassembled’ into swordsmanship for his master.
Bang——!!!!!!
Every time swords collide. The ‘intention’ contained in the Five Eui is solidified.
Even those who have reached the level of a hero cannot dare measure…. A talent for magic that could be called a disaster.
Read and analyze in detail the history and images of swordsmanship contained in Cassimes’ magic.
As time goes by, Lee Seon-woo’s intentions in his sword become solid, detailed, and thick.
Bang——!
With one swing, 100 days of a criminal.
Bang——!!
With two swings, 100 days of genius.
Bang——!!!
Three swings, 100 days of genius.
The young swordsman in front of me was getting stronger with each swing, transcending the years.
With each collision, everything in his swordsmanship was absorbed.
“hahahaha!!! Yes! Take it all, take it all!!!”
I’ll gladly give it to you if my own decades serve as food for this genius!
The guy who will perfect his swordsmanship is right in front of you! What’s wrong with coming now!
Bang——!!!!!!
Cassimes began to use the best magic tricks he could use with his current physical abilities.
Thumping thump——!!!
The sword, which was already so fast that it was invisible to the eye, accelerated even more.
In line with that, the opponent’s sword also accelerates endlessly.
Thumping thump——!!!!!
Every time the swords collide, a flower of iron and fire blooms.
A sharp weapon cut through the flower, causing a new flower of fire to bloom.
“Awesome, great…”
Char Sylvest, who was watching it, said something like that without realizing it.
The steel circle dance of the young swordsman and the old swordsman unfolded before our eyes.
It is….
It seemed like they were dancing in fine tune.
It was like a fierce struggle for the lives of the swordsmen.
It was like a young bird learning how to fly from its parents.
It was so beautiful, it was a sight I wanted to see forever, but
Everything has an end.
… And the end was always sudden.
Kwachang-!
Lee Seon-woo’s sword and Casimes’ great sword broke at the same time. The dance of steel and flames ended just like that.
“……Ah.”
A sigh mixed with regret came out of Char Sylvest’s mouth without realizing it.
Professor Casimes also made a pitiful expression.
And the other party, Seonwoo Lee….
The eyes that look like a ‘silent lake’ shine, showing a cool-headed reason.
“Krisia—!!! It’s now—!!!”
Seonwoo Lee, his eyes shining, firmly held onto Professor Cassie Mess’s left hand with his left hand.
With my right hand, I held the blade of a half-cut sword floating in the air.
As it is, he slashed his hand and Professor Casimes’s hand.
Push!
The sharp blade of the sword pierced the left hand of the two and fixed it firmly.
“You, you!”
“If this happens, you won’t be able to get out like before, right?”
“This bastard is right as expected!!!”
Ssiik-
Professor Cassimes calls out in awe to Seonwoo Lee, who smiles with his eyes shining even as he sweats in pain.
To him like that. Waiting for Lee Seon-woo’s signal, Krysia’s arrow was shot.
“Grow up! Ironwood…! [Rapid growth]!!!”
Kwaaa—!!!
The arrows fired quickly grew into large trees.
The tree flying through the wind was already good enough to be called a ballista, one of the siege weapons.
“…Hey! This much, one hand is enough!!!”
In an instant, an aura is concentrated in the free right hand. Soon, he spiraled out.
“【Spiral Strike Fist】!!!”
Kwagagagak─!!!
The vortex created by the high-speed rotation of the aura concentrated on the fist literally grinds through hard ironwood.
I think I sent it out without even having time to properly concentrate…. It was a punch with ferocious destructive power that sent chills down the spine.
‘But with this, both hands are tied! Good!’
A flash-
The purple night cat, who was only aiming for this moment, had bright eyes.
Blame-
Nice, who was using [Cognitive Impairment] To its extreme, was hiding in a crater on the floor of the arena.
Light and cheerful, he approached in an instant with stealthy steps and swung a dagger clad in an aura from behind Professor Casimes.
And….
Kwadeuk—!
“…Nyan?! I asked Nyan!?”
Professor Cassimes turned his head and ‘bitten’ his dagger.
“It’s so hard, it’s so bad… It’s so bad!!! (I’ve endured until this moment, my patience is great, but… I was already vigilant!!!)”
“That’s ridiculous!? It’s not a monster, how can you block it with your teeth?!”
“Ahhhhh!!
“The story of killing an Ogre Lord by biting it with his teeth was not a metaphor, was it real!?”
Kidduk-!
Professor Cassimes stopped chewing on Nice’s dagger. A blue aura covered his teeth.
A scene beyond imagination, when everyone loses their senses.
“Aggagak!!! (Gap!!!)”
Casimes’ right hand crushed all of Krysia’s attacks. Stretched towards Nice.
With Casimes’ skills, he could deflect varnish with one hand. Just like this, when the students’ counterattack is about to fail.
Took-
Something touched Cassimes’ right chest.
“Ugh! Ugh!? (What?! When!?)”
It was the index finger of Lee Seon-woo’s right hand.
Cassimes didn’t notice until Lee Seon-woo’s right hand touched him. In order to be wary of Nice’s surprise, he was building his senses keenly.
The reason…
‘Just ’10 seconds’! Right after the sword broke…. Exactly, 10 seconds have passed!’
[Gift: Change [Dragon Power (B-)] To [Cognitive Impairment (C+)].]
It takes 10 seconds to change a copied gift. And the moment I stopped Nice’s surprise, 10 seconds had passed.
Krysia’s attack, Nice’s surprise attack…. Only, it was for this one move!
Cassimes was clearly wary of Nice and was keeping his senses sharp.
Even if you turn your nerves to Nice’s surprise attack. If all my presence disappears, I’ll know right away.
… So only, ‘Only in the right hand’. Concentrated the [Cognitive Impairment] Ability as much as possible.
All for this contact that lasts less than 0.1 Second!
“Extremely…!!! (Oops…!!!)”
It was Professor Cassie Mess who hurriedly swung his hand to sever my arm, but….
─It’s already too late!
Thunder Magic LV4
[Electronic Shock] Gae(改)
「Thunder’s index finger」
Karleung—!
Concentrated on the tip of the index finger, the electric shock amplified several times in power. It pierced Cassimes’ body with a thunderous sound.
Pajijijik─!!!
“──.”
Nice’s tail hair, which had fallen before she knew it, was set on bristle, and a lightning bolt struck Professor Casimes.
Professor Cassimes, who was struck by lightning at Younggeori,
Kung-!
He plucked his eyes and collapsed.
