Chapter 150 – Two Steps From Hell (1)

We have always been by Hell.
Just two steps to hell.
Battle. Battle. And another battle.
Cross that line of death.
Over and over the corpse of a comrade.
Came to this moment.
And I go beyond someone else’s sacrifice again
Run and run again

Tak Tak Tak!!!

“Hey, hey! Oops! Black!”

Something dripping from your eyes is sweating.
Because I’ve been sprinting for quite some time now.

Tak tok tok!!

“Huh, huh!!”

It feels like my breath is reaching my chin.
But the world makes me run at ease
Didn’t let it go

Kwachang!!
Kuaang!!

Suddenly, disgusting gray tentacles
It flew through the side window.

“Kuk!!”

I can’t stop the running inertia!!
I jumped with all my might.
Fortunately, like a palace, the ceiling is very high,
It could jump on tentacles.

Tuuk!

Stepping on tentacles,

Taat!

Jump over and keep running!!

“Kkrouk, kireuk, koowook!”
“Nannannannannannannan gang gang gang gang gang ganghee hee!!!!!!”

Crazy.
Count Mido was swallowed up by the monster on his right arm.
Small grayish tentacles erupted from its eyes, mouth, and nose.
… A very disgusting appearance.
And for some reason, it seems that the color of the tentacles has also changed.

Tak Tak Tak!!

“Kkkeok, kkeokkeok, kkeokkuk!”
“Nannannannannannannan gang gang gang gang gang ganghee hee!!!!!!”

Whoa… !

This… !!! Attack from behind… !!
There is no room to escape!! Time too!!

“Damn!!”

I extended Master’s dagger to block the tentacles.
That… It was a mistake.

Kwaaang!!

“Kheuheouk!!”

I am pushed by great weight and mass,
I fell through the wall of the 3rd floor hallway and fell outside.
Shit! If only there was the Taoist ‘Cat’s Step’!
You take less fall damage!

Courage! Quadang!

I tried to hold on to the eaves of the second floor outside the building,

Snuggle Geek!!! Fast deuk… !!!

Even if I grabbed it until my fingernails were broken and bleeding, I couldn’t catch it.
I eventually miss the eaves,

Courage!

After hitting the eaves of the first floor,

Kwadangtangtang!!

“Keuhuh!!”

Fell to the floor
Fortunately, before hitting the stone floor,
Grab the eaves of the first floor once more to slow down
It’s a mess because it landed with a fall.
If it had just fallen, it would have broken somewhere.

“Keuuugh!!”

My whole body trembled.
Although the baby commander’s armor is strong,
The weight and mass of the attack
You can’t stop the shock.

“Heo-eok, hee-eok!!”

Overcome the aches and pains of the whole body,
I barely stand up.

Clink!
Wow…

“Kkrouk, kireuk, koowook!”
“Nannannannannannannan gang gang gang gang gang ganghee hee!!!!!!”

Nonsense.
That weight.
That mass.
Jumping like that from the height of the third floor… It’s flying… ?

“Keuheuk, haaaaa!!”

He quickly picks up his body and throws his body with all his might.

Because his drop point is right above me!!!

Wooooo!!!
Softly… !!!

Count, a monster bigger than four or five bulls put together
Crush the place where I was.
Paving stones installed on the road to the palace
It breaks apart and shakes.

“Kkkuk, kukuk, kukkkuk!”
“Nannannannannannannan gang gang gang gang gang ganghee hee!!!!!!”

“Heo-eok, hee-eok!!!”

Damn, the body… Don’t move well!
Damn you!!

Poof!

In my eyes looking around
A large stone building stands out.
And a sign drawn at the entrance to the basement catches my eye.

“… That!”

Took, woodadadada!!!

Sprint.
The basement of a stone building filled with no gaps.
If that’s there!!
You can do it!!
It’s a gamble!!

Rumbling!!

“Damn!! It’s locked!!”

Thud! Bang! Thud! Bang!

“Kruruk, karak, kukkuk!”
“Nannannannannannannan gang gang gang gang gang ganghee hee!!!!!!”

“Lumika!!”

With a cheer,
Put the sharp master’s dagger into the keyhole
Break the lock

Cudangtang!!

Inside, bags of flour and sugar are piled up as indicated.
Underground storage.
A place where ingredients are kept for use by royal patissiers!!

Spam. Fuhak!!

They cut and tore the sacks,
Fine white powder is scattered all over the warehouse.

“Cough, Cough!!”

It reminds me of what Rumika said when we were dating before.

[Oppa~ You know what?
Dessert of the royal family in Amity, so delicious?
The secret is good quality very fine flour and sugar,
And what is the secret ingredient?!]

[Okay? Uh, that’s right
But you, cooking is a gem disease?
Why from a head towel to an apron
Are you heavily armed?
What are you going to make?]

[Um~~ No, just.
I want to try baking as a hobby.
… What? Why are you laughing?!
Oh, you’re not making it for your brother?!
I’m making this for my dad?!?!]

[Hmm~ Yes~~?
Here, there is apple jam from Matera~~?
I guess the father-in-law also liked the apple jam cookies?
Cuck Cuck Cuck!!]

… Lumica. Thanks.
You saved me so many times!!

Fuhak! Pak!! Awesome!!

I swing my sword without mercy
Tear the flour and sugar bags.

Pod. Chew.

Put your hand on her and put it on your tongue.
The powder is very fine.

“Kklak, kkeoruk, kurululuk!”
“Nannannannannannannan gang gang gang gang gang ganghee hee!!!!!!”

It’s a gamble.

Whoops!!

Kuaang!!

Tentacles stretch out and enter the cellar,
Thanks to this, flour and sugar spread throughout the cellar.

Thud. Bang. Cooong. Quaang.

“Kkuluk, Gkureuk, Kkuk!”
“Nannannannannannannan gang gang gang gang gang ganghee hee!!!!!!”

Eventually, he smashed the basement entrance
Something between a monster sneaking in and Count Mido.

“Here it is, you weak-minded brat!!!”

Let me shout in the white dust,
The monster gradually jumps towards me.

Thud! Bang! Thud! Bang!
Udangtang!! Bang bang!!

Whoa… Oops, I don’t know

“Rumikaaaaa!!!”

I shorten Master’s dagger,
I run towards Count Mido with all my might.

“Hold on. Back. Krouk, kireuk!”
“Nannannannannannannan gang gang gang gang gang gang haha!!”

Whoa… !

Tentacles fly towards me,

“Blink!”

Pod!

I blink behind Count Mido
Run back to the basement entrance.
It’s covered in white powder, so it jumps as if tripping on the floor.

Udangtangtang!!

Come out as if rolling with white powder
Cast spells and wear magic rings.

“Instantaneous defense! Fire Arrow!!”

Instant shield and magic ring’s one-time shield
Block the basement entrance,
Summons a fire arrow into the basement and launches it.

Yet,

Aaaaa!!!!

Dust explosion.
With a shock that shakes the building,
The shield is also shaken.

“Aww!! Enforce!! Barrier!”

Spreading a lot of amulets in your arms
Strengthens the shield and creates an additional barrier.
Use up all magic earrings and magic rings.
Block the entrance with a barrier.

And.

Coo coo coo… !!!

Explosions subside,

Kwah Kwah Kwah Kwah Kwah!!!

The building… It’s collapsing!!

“Aaaaa!!!”

Hurry up and get out of the collapsing range of the building!

Kwakwa kwa… Kwaaaaang!!!

“Heo-eok, hee-eok!!”

Fluff.

Unknowingly, I sprawled out on the ground.

“Cool, heouk… Together, heck, it was dirty,
Let’s not see each other again…”

Seriously.
What I saw in Chonghaejin was very slow.
What is that… Are you flying around?
It’s terrible.

Blood shot!!

Heartlessly, a second beam of light shoots into the sky.
An ominous purple pillar.
… There is no time to rest.

“Keukcha.”

I barely get myself up.

Kurr… Cooong.

Building rubble shakes.

“… This. Didn’t I say, ‘Did you do it?’?!”

“Hollyuk… Gurgling…
“I’m sorry… River… Do it…”

This.
If this guy comes out, I can’t stand it.
No force, no weight, no speed.
It’s all heavy.

Ends here
Battle at Cheonghaejin.
His weakness was fire!!
I am just a beginner in fire magic.
How to overcome the limit?!

Cast an order,

“… Lend me your strength, Seven Swords!”

Wow… !!

In my hands stretched out to the sky with the light of joy
You are given a sword with three branches on each side of the sword.

“Fire… Cheek! Cheek! Cheek! Cheek! Cheek!”

Continue to memorize the order.
I’m not a double speller
‘Delayed Fireball’ is also difficult.
But it’s different if it’s a first-class magic weapon from the Hwan Empire.

Each time you memorize one, the tip and branch of the seven maps
The energy of red flame forms…

“Aaaaa!!”

Let me wield a seven-pointed sword,
The body of the tentacle monster revealed through the cracks in the building
Count Mido’s body explodes with five fireballs all at once.

Woo woo woo woo… !!!
Aaaaa!!!!

Explosions roar,

Count Mido and his right arm’s tentacle monster
Burn in together

“Kwwawwawwawwaw!!!”
“I am… River… Sun… !!!”

I leave the burning monster behind,
Go up the corridor on the 3rd floor again
Run through the rose garden
Chiljido reverse summons in no time.
This mana cost too much to maintain.

Tak Tak Tak!!

“Heh, heo!”

Please wait a little longer, sick princess!!
I’m coming!!

But indifferently, a third beam of light soars into the sky.

Blood shot!!

“That… !!”

Will the ceremony be complete when a few purple lights go up?
According to the summoning ceremony I know, there are six of them.

Hopefully we need more pillars of light,
Run hard

Tak Tak Tak Tak!!!

Jump!!

Cudangtang!!

Through several doors and buildings,
We finally arrived at the rose garden!!

The pillars of light soaring up into the sky
It was pretty close.

“Is that it?!”

Let’s run fast along the road,

“… Unexpected. Mido and my men were there.”

Support position!

Crush the soil and barely stop.

The one who blocked is the old face.
Knight Commander of the Knights Templar.
Raynald.

“Ah, those weaklings and tremors?
I couldn’t afford to eat.”

Despite my provocation, Reynald didn’t blink an eye.

Snap.

Let him beckon,

Chuck. Chuck. Chuck.

… Four swordsmen in black cloaks wearing bizarre iron masks
Lined up left and right.

“… Law Guards.”

An elite agent who handles the dark affairs of the Knights Templar and the cathedral.
Hope to see you again here

“You’re trying. It’s a fleeting effort.”

That bastard is more annoyed by the quiet talker.

“It is my dream. A prince on a white horse who saves the princess.”

“It will be a pile of white bones.
Stroke the neck painlessly.”

Ssuk! Papapat!!

These guys.
The movement is similar to that blind nun earlier!!
Had I not met the blind nun,
I would have been very upset by this move.

In an instant, the passers-by occupying all sides.

Every single thing!

Four everywhere.
All middle class with swords at the height of the stomach.

Shook!!!!

They poke at different heights at the same timing,
The sound is almost audible.

I only hit the lower body and rushed forward!

Kagagak!!

The baby longevity’s armor blocks the enemy’s stabbing,

Whoo!

Swing short

Shut up!

Also.
It’s like a blind nun’s steps.
I knew how to slide and backstep!
Increase!

Snap!

“!”

Squeak.

Master’s dagger suddenly stretched and cut his throat, but
It was rather shallow.
I almost cut my carotid artery,
He doesn’t make that common moan.
These bastards, somehow, they look like dolls with emotions removed.
A terrible sense of heterogeneity.
Like…
The feeling that some of the instincts you have as a person have been removed.

“Bout!”

Pop!

Throw smoke bombs down,
Take out the amulet with your left hand.

“Spread!!”

Spreads a smoke screen with magic arts.

A puff of smoke
To the place where Reynald is a little far away
Spread all over

Shu Shu Shuk!!
Caang! Visor!

Stabs coming in from three directions, even through the smoke.
Barely cut off the face,
The chest side is received with the baby commander’s armor.
A coordinated attack that is too fast and difficult to block.
Defense and evasion are impossible only by trusting in the armor.

Kagagak!!!

Although the chest and stomach are stabbed,
The baby longevity’s armor bounces off the sword.

… Lumica.
You really saved my life many times.
Armor performance is really awesome!!!

Subtly sends a mental interference wave to 4 members of the Law Guard.

Paper weave! Dismissed!

Good.
Targets 2 people with relatively weak mental barriers.
The paper I saw in Master’s lab!

[Let’s see, this is…
‘Just as the rotation coefficient of the fire chakra is suppressed at a critical point,
By suppressing suggestion in the same way
A conditional suggestion that activates at a certain point in the future… ‘
This is the principle of delayed fireball
It is also used for hints.]

Okay.
Until Master caught me wearing a bra
I also thought about how to apply it.

[What paper did you read?]

[Using the principle of delayed fireball
This is a thesis related to post-invocation therapy of suggestion.]

[What did you feel after reading it?]

[Good for fooling people around the target
I think it’s magic.]

It is difficult to mentally interfere with one person.
Because you get caught
The other person notices when the second person interferes.

Using delayed mental interference,
To make several people momentarily betray at the same time.
That’s my win

Cacan! Visor!

Increase, decrease!
Always, always, always, always!!!

Chaeng Chaeng Chaeng!!

Adjusting the length of the master’s dagger, the upper, middle, and lower speed three-step thrust.
Drive the law guards in front.

In the smoke,
We must not let each other see the sparks flying in our heads!

Fuck!

“Kuk!”

While planning a strategy, he was hit in the face by a fist holding a sword,

Jjoong!

“Big!!”

He stumbles forward after being hit on the back by a sword that struck him like a club.
There is no mind to the blades flying from all directions.
In the meantime, a knife came flying to cut my thigh.

“Haap!”

Bonguk Sword (本國劍法), Yedo (銳刀), Twenty-four Bosebeop (二十四步勢法).
Grace (隱望勢)!

One-legged crane position
Side defense with the blade pointed down.

Kwagagagak!!

After that, it turns around and cuts like a hidden snake entwines itself!!

Just like that of the blind nun,
Extend your sword as much as possible and cut four at once!!

Sereung.

“Heuk!”

Finally, one of them collapses, blood spraying down his neck.
Accurately cut the carotid artery!!
Persimmon came to her hand!

Taking advantage of this gap, to the two people who made fortunes earlier
Activate the 4th stage magic ‘Delayed Mental Pollution’!!
Makes allies betray after 10 seconds!

The content is ‘Kill the one who is close’!

Pajijijijik!!
Parts Tsutsutsu!!

He also doesn’t groan once.
A grotesque act that shows no pain,
Rather, it becomes a weakness.
Because I can’t inform my colleagues of the danger.

Whoo! Fuck! Spaw!

“Kuk!”

While casting magic,
It hits her in the shoulder and cuts her leg.

Breaking over the armor, slowing my movement with impact,
In the meantime, a passing technique to cut the leg.
These bastards, you can’t leave them alone for long!

Pajijijik!!!
Parts Tsutsutsutsu!!!

Ok, got in!!
Punch a hole in your mental barrier,
Temporarily mental contamination after 10 seconds!

“Haap!!”

10… 9… 8…

Kang! Kang!

Two frontal attacks like drawing butterfly wings
Raise a continuous oblique line and cut it out with a slash.
And roll straight ahead.

Whoo!

A knife passes by where I was.
Hit the floor with a fall and get up right away
Past the law guard,
Run towards Reynald!

7… 6…

“Under! That hair!”

Reynald finally draws his sword.
Claymore, a large sword.

Chuck.

He holding down with both hands and holding his posture.
Don’t be scared
Break through

That’s right!!

“Haste!”

The three law guards are following me relentlessly.
At this point, it will become a sandwich for Reynald and the Law Guard!!

5… 4…

“Ahhh!!”

“Come!!”

What are you doing, son of a bitch.

3… 2…

“Blink!”

Flash!

Seeing Raynald’s sword fly
Blink behind him.
Blinking consumes a lot of mana, but it can’t be helped…
Turn around, lower your posture, and cut your legs!

Awesome! Big!

“Kuk!!”

Accurately cut the joints of the armour’s armor behind the knee.

Reinald staggered back and aimed his sword.
Three law guards surged behind him.

One… Activate!

Hooked! Pooh!!

“That guy… Kuck!”

Reynald, who was aiming at me with a sword,
The swords of his men that pierced the gaps in his own armor
He looks up in disbelief.

With those eyes
The words that I pressed into his chest
Exhale coolly

“Go to hell.”

Even scared
Even if you are afraid.
The reason why you are only two steps from hell.
Enemy.
To kick into hell.
