Chapter 175 – The Fifth Trait

Hey profit!!!

Ha-jin’s bone knife slammed into the face of Tanjiro, who was stuck on the floor.
And both Hajin and Tanjiro knew it.
Shunbo’s cooldown hasn’t returned yet, and Tanjiro, stuck on the ground, isn’t in a state where he can dodge this attack.
So instead of avoiding it, Tanjiro decided to block it.
No, I got caught.

Kwaaaaa!!!!
Rumble-

Blood dripped from Tanjiro’s hand as he grabbed the bone knife that stopped right in front of his eyes, riding the bone knife and dripping back onto Tanjiro’s face.
Nevertheless, the attack was somehow blocked.
However, Ha-jin immediately pressed the back of the bone knife with his left hand and advanced the tip of the knife further, and now it was close enough that the bone knife seemed to touch the retina.
However, Tanjiro’s hand gripped the bone knife even more strongly to the point that it could no longer move.

“I’ll kill you painfully…!”

A voice supported by evil flowed from Tanjiro’s mouth.
It was Tanjiro who wanted Hajin to become stronger, but he never thought that he would suffer such a humiliating situation.
No, it was something that should never have happened to Tanjiro, who was proud of himself.
So, the game is over.
The only thing left to do is to bring greater shame and humiliation to Ha-jin, who has brought such disgrace and humiliation to herself, and to bring despair worse than death.

[The transcendent body (A) is manifested.]

The message window was already floating in front of Tanjiro’s eyes, not Hajin’s.
Tanjiro also had the same characteristics that Hajin used.
That means that the advantage that Hajin created while using the transcendent body will disappear.

Knock!!!

Tanjiro, who had disappeared with the bone knife stuck in the floor, was slashing the knife from the top of the back of Hajin’s head.
Even if he couldn’t kill Ha-jin with this attack, he was convinced that he, who had the upper hand in her physical ability again, would push Ha-jin.

Wheeik!!!

Tanjiro’s Japanese sword that rips through the air.
The floor cracked and a telephone pole several meters away split in half, as if black air had been emitted.
And it was a real swordsman.

『Sword Skill (A) – Overlay the sword with intangible energy. Can emit up to 10 meters. Ignores defense by 50%. Cooldown 10 seconds.』

Although it did not improve the physical ability separately, 50% of defense ignoring was equivalent to obtaining tremendous attack power.
And a bone knife moving rapidly towards the temple of Tanjiro, who created a shocking scene through his sword skills.

Hey profit!!!
Caang!!!

The Japanese sword that had cut through the air was swung sideways, deflecting the bone knife that was piercing it, and at the same time, Tanjiro’s left hand twisted her body and reached toward Ha-jin’s neck.

Snap!!

Tanjiro’s left hand grabbed Hajin’s neck.
However, if it was left-handed, there was also Hajin.

Shiiik!!

Ha-jin’s left hand moves toward Tanjiro’s eyes with his fingers spread in a V shape.

Awesome!!!

Genitals, saliva, and this time eyes.
Tanjiro, angry enough to grind his teeth at Ha-jin’s successive attacks, which went against a fair confrontation, swung his hand that was holding his neck and hit Ha-jin’s left hand.
Then, Hajin’s right foot wriggled and was lifted.
The moment Tanjiro’s face crumpled, his anger soaring to the top of his head at Ha-jin’s meanness to target his genitals again, saliva gushed out of Ha-jin’s mouth like a hydra with his right foot falling to the floor again.

“Two!!”
“Do it in moderation!!!”

Tanjiro’s anger bursts out.
However, as if he had already expected it, Tanjiro avoided her face with the lower left corner to avoid the lightly flying spit, and before he knew it, he raised the Japanese sword located in front of his ship towards Hajin.

Wheeik!!!

With the Japanese sword swung as if her right arm was wide open, Ha-jin avoided the attack by bending her back almost to lie down.
No, I didn’t lie down, I actually lay down in the air.
With the right foot kicking up again.

Whiik!!
Chin!!!

However, the Japanese sword fell down along with Hajin’s right foot, which was caught by Tanjiro’s left hand that came down between the crotch, and Tanjiro’s right arm that was wide open.
For a moment, in Tanjiro’s head, he thought that killing Hajin so easily was a favor, but such a messy confrontation…
No, it was even more unpleasant to continue a low-level fight that couldn’t even be called a confrontation, so there was no hesitation at the falling blade.
Of course, it wasn’t a fight that could be ended so easily.

Dig!!!

Before Tanjiro’s Japanese sword split Ha-jin in half, Ha-jin kicked up his left foot, which had been scooped up with soil on the top of his foot, from the broken floor in place of his blocked right foot.

“Ugh!!”

This time, with soil that was more damaging than saliva properly sprinkled in his eyes, Tanjiro hit the Japanese sword again and again with his eyes tightly closed in pain, but the Japanese sword, which continued to fall without feeling anything, landed on the floor. It was just hit.
And a sharp sound piercing my ears.

Shahah!!!

Instinctively, the face was pulled back, but red blood lines formed on Tanjiro’s forehead and blood spurted out.

Chow!!!

Tanjiro, who was unable to properly avoid Hajin’s attack due to his temporarily blinded eyes, struggled to think of his eyes closed somehow, but this time, the blood flowing from his long forked forehead stained his blurry vision red.
As a bonus, along with a handful of dirt that once again covers your eyes.

Dig!!!

“Keugh..!! This guy!!!!”

This isn’t a match.
It’s not even a confrontation.
It’s just a struggle for survival that only uncivilized beasts do.
Yes.
For Tanjiro, the fight against a strong man who can compete with him was a match and confrontation with the samurai spirit that has been passed down from generation to generation, but for Hajino, it is just a simple act of taking the life of an objectionable creature in front of his eyes.
Of course, Hajin also had a sense of competition or goodwill, but now was not the time to afford it.
Because it was the moment when his women and his people might be going through life and death.

“Let’s die now.”
“… “

Hearing Hajin’s voice right in front of him.
But a rustling sound came from the side.
And even the movement you feel behind your back.
If he had just attacked, he would have been able to identify Ha-jin’s location by sound, but knowing that, Ha-jin deliberately did nothing and just watched Tanjiro.
Even if you stay still, Tanjiro will soon turn away from you.

Crisp!!

Hearing the sound of stepping on cement fragments rolling on the floor behind him, Tanjiro hurriedly turned around and swung his Japanese sword.

Awesome!!!

The feeling of something being cut, transmitted precisely through the blade.
It was definitely a living thing.
But at that moment, Tanjiro realized.
That she made a mistake.
I heard the sound of bone knives cutting the air with furious force.
Even towards the back of his head.

Shiiyik!!!

With the sound of getting closer, Tanjiro bends his neck and tilts his head.
However, the point of the knife, which had already reached the back of the head, continued to move forward, tearing through the scalp, and darted forward along the side of the tilted head.

Chow!!!

Blood leaked from Tanjiro’s torn scalp from the back of his head to his temples, dyeing his black hair red.
And for the first time in his life, Tanjiro felt the momentary fear of death.

‘I’m dying…? There’s someone stronger than me?’

It’s not just spitting, attacking the genitals, attacking the eyes, and throwing dirt on Ha Jin to lead the fight in his favor.
Of course, that part had an impact, but as time went by, Ha-jin continued to grow stronger as if he were growing up due to the special Berserker and Knight of the battlefield.
However, Tanjiro also knew.
Of course, I knew that there were characteristics that became stronger as time passed, and of course I assumed that Hajin had several of those characteristics.
Nevertheless, Hajin’s power is beyond the scope of Tanjiro’s understanding.

“How can you be so strong without fighting those monsters!!”

After arriving in Korea for the first time and confirming that there are no real monsters like Japan, Tanjiro was convinced that there would be no one stronger than himself.
Perhaps that certainty, a hostile belief in one’s own strength, brought about this situation.
Because while Tanjiro was conducting futile experiments with Dr. Mashiki in order to become a being who could call himself a god, Hajin continued to accumulate his powers.
Of course, not all of Tanjiro’s powers have been revealed yet.
Still.

“This dog, it’s so persistent .. !! Stop looking!! I’m busy!!!”

Shahah!!
Caang!!!

Tanjiro bounces back while blocking the swinging bone knife.
Hajin couldn’t help but stick out her tongue at the sight of Tanjiro continuing to block her attacks even though she couldn’t open her eyes properly.
But he had no time for admiration.
Because I have to go back to Namsan as soon as possible.
And because we have to see the end before Tanjiro can recover his eyes.
However, Tanjiro begins to exude an unusual atmosphere.

“… Are you just catching a dog form..? So, have you already written all four?”

Geomki, Shunbo, and A-class traits that drove Hajin after the search battle, and even a transcendent body that raised her physical abilities once more a moment ago.
Ha-jin knew that Tanjiro was already using all four of his attributes, so he decided to just attack, even if he felt a bit uncomfortable.
In the end, he concluded that it was a trick to buy time to recover his eyes while catching dog form.

Puff- Poof!!

Ha-jin, who threw the corpse of a zombie that Tanjiro mistakenly cut down high, started moving in time for the corpse to fall on Tanjiro’s back.

Tadat-
Took!!

After Hajin jumped into the air, Tanjiro didn’t budge even though the corpse fell on his back.

‘Was it too loud?’

Even thinking about it, it was an obvious deception, and in a situation where she couldn’t see her eyes anyway, she decided that she had an advantage. The moment Hajin fell down and struck her with a bone knife, Tanjiro’s red eyes flashed open.
And Tanjiro appears behind Hajin’s back and wields a Japanese sword.

“Aren’t you tired?!”

Wheeik!!!

Hajin, fed up with Sunbo, twisted her body in the air and brandished her bone knife.
But she sensed something was wrong.
No, even without her traits, Ha-jin’s five senses, who have excellent senses, are screaming that they are in danger.
But she is already in a situation where she can neither undo her own actions nor escape her out of thin air with nothing.

‘What the hell happened… ‘

Chow!!!

Ha-jin’s blood splattered into the air.
And again, Tanjiro’s Japanese sword swings toward Hajin’s neck.

Kkagang!!!
Geuggeuggeuk!!!!
Chew!!!

She barely protected her neck with her bone knife, but the Japanese sword swung as she scraped her bone knife, creating a long, diagonal cut across Hajin’s face.

Tuk-tududuk-tuduk-

Red blood dripping down to the floor.
There was a lot of blood that flowed from her scarred face, but the amount of blood that poured out of her chest, which had been cut horizontally so that it could not be seen, was so great that it formed a puddle under her feet.
A wound so deep that almost bone was exposed.

“Ah… “

A moan like a sigh escaped Hajin’s mouth.
Hardly… No, the appearance that I had never seen in Hajin until now was telling me how deep the wound was.
But the problem is that we are only just beginning.

Shashashashashak!!!
Kang! Kkagang!!
Chew! Chew!!
Squeak-

Ha-jin has scars forming all over her body as she barely defends her vital points with a Japanese sword that is being slashed as if she were chopping it up.
This time, Hajin, not Tanjiro, could not understand the current situation.

‘What the hell is this..?! I must have used all four attributes…!!’

It wasn’t that Hajin misunderstood or misunderstood.
Obviously, Tanjiro has used all four characteristics.
Only the fifth characteristic manifested.
It’s also a trait that doesn’t have a rank like blood madness.

『No-self (?) – It reaches the state of no-self and leads all living things to death. Strength +?%, Agility +?%, Stamina +?% When used. Remaining number of uses (3/5)』

Selflessness, which means that the country does not exist either.
Tanjiro, who was ruled by an unknown force, became a murderer who would not stop killing all living things around him or until he himself died.
And Hajin facing him.

Shiiik!!
Whiik- shahah!!!

The Japanese sword that was being stabbed bent like a snake and fell from above his head, and the Japanese sword, which created a cross-shaped wound in the chest of Ha-jin, who hurriedly stepped back, pursued and stabbed Ha-jin again.
And Ha-jin muttered with his arms drooping down as if he had given up further fighting.

“What has changed… “

Hey hey profit!!!

“No!!!!”

Yes, whether Hajin became stronger or Tanjiro became stronger, nothing changed.
It was a fight that ended when one of the two died from the beginning.

Shaaaaa!!!
Cang!!!!!!
Cooooo!!!!!

The extending Japanese sword collided with the slashing bone knife, creating a shockwave that engulfed Hajin and Tanjiro and spread out in all directions.

Wow Chang Chang Chang!!!
Thud!! Coo kung!!!

All the windows around it are shattered, and the car slides as if it were being pushed, colliding with walls and colliding with each other.
And the gust of wind, which spread without stopping, swept through the narrow alleys and shattered all the windows that remained intact.
The wave of tremendous power created by Hajin and Tanjiro became a signal flare that woke up a being who had been sleeping very deeply in a place not too far away.
Even if it’s not right now, like Japan, the signal that hasten the end of Korea…
