Old Guard (3)

Celestial Yuseong, Theresa, and Frey and Euasis unleashed their unique abilities.

huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

A great mana rose with a brilliant light.

"Have you left your colleagues on standby and connected the dimensions?"

The Hound slowly opened his mouth.

I even predicted the traps, but I didn't even realize that there was a plot like this.

However.

Such a reaction was only brief.

"So what are you going to do? Did you really think this would change the situation?"

At least, if hundreds or thousands of troops are lining up, I don't know.

For the Old Guard, this was just a ridiculous level to even call it an ambush.

It was because he was not used to dealing with melee battles and multiple enemies, and it was becoming a daily routine.

By the way, the most annoying enemy... .

A doll with blue hair.

'Homunculus... . Rumors circulated that it was going to be auctioned off. In the end, it was completed.'

okay. As long as you are careful about that, there are no variables.

Chunkyung!

Hound drew his sword.

kukukuku!

An ominous aura covered the entire blade.

"Damn it. Who else is that goddamn bastard?"

Cheon Yuseong asked immediately.

"Huh? What?"

"What, what? Suddenly, the middle manager told me to prepare for an enemy coming here soon. Aren't out-of-standard monsters coming to Ururu!"

uh... it?

"It's not a big deal. It looks three-dimensional, so it wouldn't even make a single punch to you, would it?"

Jinhyuk deliberately shivered, but Cheon Yoosung's expression didn't look very good.

The mana that is transmitted to the skin is so painful that it stings.

I can't even imagine how strong the enemies were.

"It's not going to be easy to play against 1:1."

Theresa added a word.

I was thinking of triggering 'Corruption', but I wasn't sure if I would be able to properly deal with one person with that.

"I think the transformation of the ruins has something to do with them. The reverberation of mana... is similar. It's creepy."

Finally, Yuasis caught mana flowing from the Old Guards' bodies.

whatever happened

As long as what each other wants overlaps, fights are unavoidable.

"Kill them. All except Kang Jin-hyuk."

With the command of the hound, a full-scale battle began.

Aww! bang! bang! kwaang!

mana and mana collide.

Cheon Yu-seong unfolded the Basic Form of the Soul Sword and faced Sally of the Old Guard head-on.

In less than 10 seconds, dozens of sword strikes came and went.

The afterimage was also a series of quick swords that were difficult to measure properly.

"It's pretty good. For a human being."

A sly smile crept across Sally's lips.

"You're so annoyingly fast."

Cheon Yu-seong broke his molar and bit it.

I used the fastest Basic Form among the Basic Forms I had, but my opponent read all the swords with ease.

It's the first time I've felt this way since fighting that damn dead person.

Kaka Kaka!

Again, the sword pierced the air.

The flames faded, leaving a remnant in the air.

"If you were strong enough, you would have noticed this battle? It's meaningless to keep going beyond this."

"Yeah... you're right. To be honest, I don't even think I can win."

The stronger you are, the more you have to get used to measuring the gap with your opponent.

Knowing your level means that your eyes for predicting the game will become sharper.

However.

Cheon Yoosung held the sword with both hands.

hundreds of times. No, thousands of times.

Tried and frustrated.

To win, I have drunk the bitter cup of countless defeats so far.

Is that so?

"I don't know anything else I am superior to that child in my tenacity to not give up even if I die."

Pants... .

A beautiful melody rode the sword and began to sing.

Sword Qi and Sword Qi harmonize together,

In the meantime, to climb the tower.

However, to surpass one rival.

Everything that had been built up burned.

" !!"

Sally crossed two swords.

KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa!

A strike like the mountain of Taesan struck the sword.

I haven't been able to let go of all the shock.

"The title of swordsmanship is definitely an undeserved title for me. As you said, there are still countless enemies that I cannot overcome."

Yoosung Cheon immediately prepared the following Basic Form.

The sums that flowed naturally like flowing water reminded me of a single giant sword.

kukukuku!

The mana on the sword deepened even more.

At the same time, Selly's feet, who were being attacked, slowly dug into the ground.

"However, I will defeat you today and rise to a position worthy of that title with my own strength."

" a cheeky little kid go."

The swords danced again.

"Sheesh, Sally's son. It's a struggle."

BlackRock, who was demonstrating an arrow, clicked his tongue.

It was because it was frustrating to see that only one swordsman, Naburin, could not subdue one.

"I'll take care of the two of you quickly. I don't save face until the old guard with a name is dragged around by the dwarves."

less two.

Teresa and Yuasis.

It is a combination of an all-round dealer who can tank and heal and a long-distance dealer.

'If you say that you are the head of the Dryad clan, all you have to do is flirt from a distance... . Is this the one who uses divine power? hmmm. It's nothing if you look at each other, but if the two of you work together, the assortment will come out.'

At least.

I don't think it will end too easily.

Tsutsu.

In an instant, the disappeared Black Rock appeared above their heads.

"Let's see the reaction speed first..."

Boo woo woo... .

bang!

The arrow split the air.

from above.

Under.

A ray of light fell.

"Careful!"

Teresa took out her shield a little late, protecting Uaasis.

However, the shield was deflected with one shot of an arrow.

A shock as if hit head-on with a siege pendulum shook her whole body.

"Aww!"

"Mister Teresa!"

Uais hung an arrow made from twisted hair on the protest.

A momentary gap that a tanker treasured.

Don't miss this opportunity.

Paang!

An arrow made of hair ran in a straight orbit.

Fast. Accurate.

step,

"Slow."

That's it.

The time BlackRock reloaded the arrow was faster than the speed at which the arrow flew.

Besides.

Surprisingly, it wasn't just the speed.

It wasn't enough to hit the tip of the arrow in the air, so the second arrow flowed down the side of the arrow that Yuasis fired.

poop!

"Aww!"

A scream of pain erupted from Yuasith's mouth.

The arrow pierced his shoulder and pierced the opposite wall.

'Dangerous .'

Teresa instinctively used 'Corruption'.

Now we have to fight regardless of the judges.

Meanwhile.

A little further away, another battle was about to unfold.

"My opponent is you. Still, it's not bad since you're hunting the strongest prey."

The fourth figure of the Old Guard.

He was a melee martial artist called Roy Fang.

Her whole body was covered in red tattoos, and her hair was slick and had no frills.

kuung!

Blue-green flames erupt as they clashed their fists.

The two properties of ice and poison were synthesized.

"Do you know me ?"

Frey, who had been nominated, tilted her head.

"Aldamada. Aren't you the greatest Master grade an alchemist ever made? I'm personally very happy to have had the opportunity to hunt a homunculus called Alpha."

Roy Fang was motivated.

It's only natural to carry out Nyarlathotep's orders... .

Hunting strong prey was the driving force that made them feel alive.

"I don't know about satisfaction. Maybe it's good to fight a strong enemy."

"Is that so? Then, why are you fighting?"

At Roy Fang's words, Frey looked at the spear in both hands for a moment.

Why are you fighting... .

that .

"I have someone I want to protect."

The first person to give you a name.

A person who promised not to be a weapon of war as a tool, but to be with him as a colleague.

A little more with him... I want to be together.

If there's a reason, that's it.

A fierce battle ensued.

Jinhyuk carefully examined the situation.

'It's holding up better than I thought.'

Thanks to everyone's help, we were able to create a void for three out of four.

There's only one left.

Hound.

He is the leader of this member.

The fighting power of the Hound was great, to the extent that the other three could not win even if they attacked.

The point of this battle is not who wins whom.

to obtain the crown of doom.

That must be the purpose and reason for coming here.

" seeing that he is rolling his head so hard, he must be calculating how to get the crown. After all, he shouldn't have easily wasted the opportunity he had gained by sacrificing his colleagues as well."

"It's a bit harsh. It's a sacrifice. Everyone came out voluntarily."

and.

"Why do you think we're going to be sacrificed?"

I think you look down on the power of the Goin Corporation.

This one hasn't even seen all the cards yet.

uuung!

Jinhyuk opened his subspace inventory.

with dazzling light. The second reinforcements showed up.

"Momii!"

The sweet potato proudly stretched out its four legs.

Black scales and amber eyes blazed with fire.

There stood a noble nobleman with long silver hair hanging next to the sweet potato.

Alice von Ataraxia.

If the Old Guard are hunting dogs that slaughter the top rankers inside the tower... .

Elise is one of the absolutes that symbolize the tower.

Even if it's not in its prime, it doesn't mean that the experience and dignity are damaged.

"I promised. After this job is over, I have to eat wherever I want. The menu should be what I want. There should be no other distractions. Especially not that blue-dyed blue-haired or stupid saint! Absolutely! Promise me! Okay? "

Alice shot her with a prickly face.

They said they would work hard to release it, but it seems that there are still a lot of complaints.

"Yeah. That's what I promise for sure."

"Heh! Well, I'm going to trust you just this one time and make a Treasured sword."

"Don't worry about that and just focus. It's not an enemy to take lightly."

"I know."

Did the enemy feel anything unusual? Alice did her best from the start.

[Ellis activates her unique holy spear, 'Apocalypse of Gaebyeok'!]

with red rings.

The fire seemed to rise as the sun appeared.

Dozens of red harpoons erupted out of the trembling space.

"Are you going to deal with the guy in front of you?"

"I can deal with that guy. You guys help the rest. Especially since Teresa and Yuasis are struggling, starting there."

"Okay. Then, let's move quickly with the spirit beasts."

Elise tilted her head towards the spirits that came with her.

"Yes, leave it to me, Master."

"We'll fight hard. I'll give it a shot."

"Hehehe. Whoa. What kind of idiot touched the heart of our Cold Blooded, where there are no blood or tears?"

The spirit beasts were arguing with all kinds of flattery.

ancestral to the ancients. Even the spirit beasts there.

This turned out to be a pretty good thing to do.

However. right at that moment.

kukukuku!

The sand dunes within the dunes began to shake violently.

The position of the sand began to change due to the internal trait that changes according to the position of the sun.

sparkle.

It was then that a black light appeared among the sand.

in a huge amount of granules.

"...!"

"found."

Jinhyuk's and Hound's eyes lit up at the same time.

no doubt

The 'crown of defeat' is in that torrent.
