Chapter 199 – #44_God of War

#197

One.
The flow of the fight was one-sided.

A white knight who puts pressure on Siwoo with various tricks and tricks.
Long spears up to 3M freely adjusted the distance and delivered a one-sided attack.
It stabs him in the face, and sometimes breaks down with his thigh at an unexpected timing.

The initiative is completely overtaken, and Siwoo is barely able to counter it.
The more he moved, the more blood flowed from his torn eyelids.

-Kang! Kang!

It seems crazy.
Even the slightest carelessness would take away one’s life. Several times in a second, blows flew incessantly.
Colorful and ever-changing
In order to respond to attacks that do not pattern, there is no answer other than improvisation.
The blood dried in a different way from the magic battle.

“Whoop!”

Siwoo drew an arc and blocked the spear tip with his shield.
At the same time, the boat was hit by a spear that rotated.
A shock that penetrates the armor and causes the internal organs to collapse.
As if the air in my lungs had been squeezed, it came out against my will.

– Quaang!

Siwoo’s back foot pushed the ground with all its might.
Desperately dragging his legs, which had become heavy as if he were wearing lead shackles, he instead stepped forward.
Rather than fighting at an obscure distance, he intended to induce a dogfight at full close range.

However, the white knight did not move even the smallest thing as Siu intended.
Receiving Siwoo’s rush, he backstepped.

As a result, the gap widens again.
In close combat between cold weapons, there are advantages and disadvantages depending on how the distance is controlled.
The distance between the two was always constant.
The spear can stab without a circle, and the gap where the sword cannot produce an effective hit is created by the white knight from beginning to end.
Moreover, it was impossible to use the ribbon to shake it off in the hectic wave of attacks.

The White Knight and the Black Knight faced off once more.
Shadows scattered like smoke in the reflections of magical power that sparkled in gold and red, respectively.
Due to the gradual loss of physical strength, the damage to the armor increases.

-Bang!
“Ouch!”

This time, the spear that had been fired twice from bottom to top suddenly rotated.
The spear, which had been swung wide, hit Sau’s temple.
An unpleasant sound comes from my throat, and my consciousness fades for a moment.
Had it not been for the part connecting the helmet and the armor, he would have broken his neck and died.

-Bang! Bang! Bang!

Temporary concussion caused by allowing effective hits.
The ground shakes.
His vision shook as if only his eyeballs were submerged in water.
The breath that I had been controlling at best came out of my chin, and my breathing became more rapid.
The attack got stronger. The white knight, who seized the victory, fiercely pushed Siwoo as if to end the fight.

-Bang!

The shield, which I had promised not to let go of, bounced helplessly from three stabs.

Wide open torso.
The white knight lowers his stance, pushes the ground with his knees, and stabs his spear with all his might.

The target is the heart.
It was too late to remake the shield.
It was too late to turn around.
I can vividly feel the sickle of the god of death hanging around my neck.

Siwoo’s hand, which was holding the sword in an extreme situation, moves by itself.

-Visor!

“Uh?”

Was it a coincidence?
The blade that dug into the trajectory at an angle changed the path of the thrust.

The twisted blades slid down the sides of his armor, leaving long scars but unable to tear through the flesh.

Siu did not exert much force.
He only heard very little of the axis of power.
The series of movements were so natural and skillful that even Siwoo himself was surprised.
Contrary to the surprise, Siwoo’s feet move.

The biggest gap of the spear is when the stabbing with the full blow misses.
I can’t let go of the first victory since the fight started.
He grabbed the spear stick that passed by his waist and held it tightly.
Close.
Unknowingly, I dug into the gap between the white knights, who seemed so far away that I could not reach them.

– Booung!

In response, a white shield rushed like an avalanche.
It’s not like getting hit with a shield anyway.
Gives his bones and cuts his throat.
Siu, prepared to be beaten, aimed at his throat with the tip of the sword held at an angle.

It was the white knight who retreated first.
Throwing back his helmet, he desperately backed away from Siwoo.
The distance has widened again, but the feeling remains in his fingertips.
The mystical feeling of sending a heavy attack with feather-like power whines at the tip of his sword.

Can you recreate that?

“Whoa… Whoa…”

A rough breath comes out.
Dancing on a blade with fluff all over the body.
Scary. Pain. I want to run away right now.
There is no reason why Siwoo, who is just an ordinary person, should be interested in a life-or-death struggle.

Haha….”

But there was a laugh.
It was an incomprehensible laugh that wasted precious breath.

Let’s do it.
Let’s see if it works only once.
An intolerable and dangerous impulse dominates the body.

Siu didn’t make a shield.
Instead, hold the longsword firmly with both hands.
It seems that Siwoo’s counterattack a while ago was dangerous enough to raise the white knight’s vigilance.
The white knight didn’t rush into it like before, but kept his spear as long as possible and kept his guard on his guard.

– Catch up!

A ribbon twists in the air.
Now I have a chance to use it.
It was clearly the white knight’s mistake to allow the use of the ribbon, which had been sealed.

-Ping!

Two strands of ribbon, which are shot as they fold the space, pass by both sides of the white knight.
At first glance, it looks like a mistake, but it’s not.

“Haaaaa!!”

Siu firmly stuck both ends of the ribbon into the rooftop.
By contracting the ribbon and kicking off the floor at the same time, it becomes possible to accelerate incomparably with the shadow’s wings.
Shi-woo rushes in as if running on the wind, and the white knight prepares a counterattack despite sudden and unexpected acceleration.

The white knight aims for Siwoo’s chest as he flies away.
A sharp blow that cannot be blocked or avoided in the upper slashing stance.

Siwoo aims for a slash that crosses the white knight’s shoulder from his side.
It will cut faster than the stabbing speed.

-Suddenly!

The shadows of the two crossed and Siu’s body tumbled across the roof.
His body couldn’t sustain the power of the slash he had put all his effort into, so it was like rolling a wheel in the air.
He quickly bounced off the ground like a cat about to fall and looked back.
I see the white knight collapsing.

– Iron gruck!

The spear aiming at Siwoo’s heart was cut in two along with the thick armor.
The thick armor was completely cut away, and only the thrilling vibrations felt by cutting metal remained in both hands.

“I won!”

Siu cheered.
It was the moment when a funeral mad movie was added.
The adrenaline secreted to the point of paralyzing his brain remained in his veins even after the battle was over, raising his spirits.

Siwoo sat down on the floor and caught his breath.
He ruminates on the final blow that passed by so quickly that even his memory was hazy.
He was mysterious
The strange feeling of connecting the sword and fingertips as one.
Even if it was a rock blocking the way, the slash seemed like it would have cut through it smoothly.
To think that skill came from one’s own hand and not someone else’s.

“I’ve never even cut fruit before…”

Well, witches and magic exist, and monsters appear and slaughter people, so this is an anomaly.
Siu got up from his seat to fulfill his purpose of coming here.

Both his strength and stamina hit rock bottom.
Hudeul distance supports his knees and snips off the flute on the altar with his sword.

-Huhhhhh!

A strange cry was heard as if the jeeryeong had succeeded.
It was like the agony of a deep sea monster heard in the deep sea.
The gloomy film surrounding the building disappeared as if a muddy stream were staying there.
When the mana, which seemed to weigh heavily on his chest, disappeared, Siwoo was able to relax.

“Whoa…”

When the fierce battle between life and death was over, he naturally thought of a disaster.
People who were bitten by monsters and died innocently.

Siwoo did not think of himself as an adult gentleman.
He wasn’t the main character of a boy’s cartoon who blamed himself for the death of someone he didn’t even know and said, “If only I had been a little stronger!”

A bitter taste like a burnt smell and anger at the witch who did this linger in my dry mouth.
The first horrific scene you encounter flickers in your retinas.
He shook his head excitedly and shook it off.

“Let’s run away.”

Now is the time to lose weight.
First of all, Siu’s use of magic was a secret, and more than anything else, he was exhausted.
His body shuddered unnecessarily as he felt the clothes beneath his armor drenched in cold sweat.

-Clap clap clap clap

While doing the calculations to go straight to the officetel by moving the coordinates, Siwoo opened his eyes wide.
It was because three white knights climbed up the outer wall and came into sight.

As if it had been mass-produced in a factory, the homunculus with the same appearance aroused a sense of déjà vu.
It must be because it gave off the same atmosphere as the black dog that was splitting up in the body of the mother dog.

“Acypal, this is over the line.”

I barely caught one, but three more?
Can’t even die
When Siwoo decided to focus on escaping with all his strength…

A white thunderbolt broke out.

– Two bang!

No, to be precise, it wasn’t a thunderbolt.
A slash that was wielded with incredible speed and power.
The ferocious blow, as if testing the limits of the laws of physics, was accompanied by flashes and roars.

The white knight he had worked so hard to catch was cut lengthwise like a chicken being groomed on a cutting board.
Siu, who was distracted by the powerful blow, could see the silhouette of the witch who belatedly summoned the thunderbolt.

White.
It is pink.
I could only discern this much even though I was so focused that my eyes would fall out.
Such a nimble movement.
Eventually, the white knight, who belatedly noticed the situation, aimed his spear at the newly appeared witch.

– Two bang! Bang!

But,
It was a pointless resistance.
The spear tip, which Siwoo struggled to adapt to, deflected cleanly.
Something flashed, and the breastplate of one of the white knights turned into a dented can.
Another chill snapped his throat and killed him, with his limbs blown off.

It was only after the witch stopped destroying one-sidedly that Siwoo could see her.
A witch standing among the flying fragments of the White Knight.

Light pink hair and magenta eyes that cannot exist in reality.
The straight and thin eyelashes were thick and long, giving off a mysterious atmosphere as if cherry blossoms were piled high above the eyes.
Her hand against her grip on her sword held the twisted helm like a knuckleball grip.

It’s obvious, but it’s beautiful because it’s a witch.
However, apart from her appearance that disturbs her eyes, the aura that radiates from her whole body is more like that of a warrior than a witch.
Remnants of magic power shimmering like a haze remained on her shoulders.
She makes us wonder how a human being can exude such spirit.

Magenta eyes whirled around and pierced Siwoo.
She shuddered at the same time.
It is because she felt an intuitive murderous intent to the point of tingling her flesh in her gaze, which seemed to be concentrated with anger and hatred.

Since she killed the white knight, of course she considered her an ally.
Siu hurriedly prepared for battle.
It didn’t matter if she could hold on or not.
Couldn’t she just lay down her neck and die?
She plucks her ribbons from her maiden loom, forges her shield to cover half of her body, and sees an opportunity to counterattack with her sword.

She “Came to keep her promise.”

A cute voice that doesn’t match her solemn tone at all spreads like her bleak breath.
Promise?
There was no time to ask what the words meant.

I could see bluish veins sprouting on the back of my little hand that was already holding the sword.
Come.
Siu lowered her balance and focused all her attention not to lose sight of the witch’s movements.
Concentration enough to feel breathing, the rough beating of the heart, and even the blood flowing through the veins.

The witch kicked the ground.
She is gone

Missed.
Upon realizing that, he reflexively protected his heart, neck, and head with a shield.
He crouched down like a tortoise and raised the hardness of the shadow to the limit to defend himself.

– Kwaaaaang!
“Cuck!”

Shock like a broken spine.
The pain that felt like being beaten all over with a sledgehammer made me gasp.
Blood gushed from his mouth and sprayed his blood through the visor.

It wasn’t a sword attack.
The witch didn’t even swing her sword.
She just stepped on her advance and stuck her little fist into her middle.
That alone shattered her shield as well as her armor.

She could intuit.
Her ribs would have been harpooned.
She may have had a ruptured liver.
If the target was the heart, she would die.

“You wouldn’t have forgotten me.”

As if being sucked into her tunnel, the face of the witch who was constructing her light source came to mind, as if immersed in ecstasy, through the vision of Siu, which was cast by her darkness.
