Chapter 283 – Loss

#283.

A silhouette flickers through the steam.

That buck-

Eventually, with the sound of footsteps, a large man appeared through the steam. The man with his sword-red hair and eyes was wrapped in flames that had not yet been extinguished.

As the steam dissipated, the two Samhaes, who had also escaped the aftermath of the shock with us, stood up behind them.

‘Fuck…’

It would be a tough fight with just that one guy, but two more opponents of the same class joined. Either way, it was a battle against us.

Concerned about how to overcome this crisis, I immediately sent an electric message when I saw Kiris, who was excited as if she would rush at any moment.

– Keyless. Calm down.-

After hearing my words, Kiris’s eyes seemed to waver, and then calmly subsided.

Of course, the murderous spirit still in it has not been erased, but when it reaches the extreme, it goes back to the beginning. Like the story I heard somewhere, Kiris regained her cool.

Then, he began to observe the two emperors and Samurai.

The moment of dangerous confrontation that will be broken the moment anyone lifts a hand. Kiris sent a telegram to see if he had come to a conclusion.

– True. If we’re going to win, we’ll have to deal with the other two quickly.-

-Yes. Yes. Is there any way?-

Emperor Il-hwang is not someone who can be defeated just because he wants to. But the other two are different. To be honest, if I use overdrive, I was confident that I could handle it alone.

In response to my question, Kiris, who took her eyes off them for a moment and stared at me, made an offer.

-I will lure Ilhwang. In the meantime, I want you to take care of the two. Can you do it?-

If it’s clear that Leonard is behind them, the objective must be to kill Kiris. If Kiris ran away alone, there was a high possibility that Emperor Il-hwang would pursue her.

I’m probably going to let the remaining two take care of me, and I think I’ll just do it quickly and go to help Kiris.

Due to the core enchantment, the momentary destructive power has reached a level beyond the realm, so if I am now, I can handle two of them.

Perhaps Kirisu expected that, too, but the question is whether Kirisu can hold out until then.

If you use up to Overdrive and unlock the core aura you formed in Platinum, the match will probably be over in the blink of an eye.

But the same goes for Kiris.

No matter how much magic bullet there is, it’s not enough to catch up with the difference in realms.

As the level increases, the level difference rises exponentially. In particular, in a 1:1 match with Emperor Il-hwang, who has awakened the special power of will, Kiris will never survive.

-… I am okay. But what about the captain? He can’t handle it alone-

At my words, Kiris smiled lightly. He seemed to be a little happy that he was worried about him, so he made eye contact and answered confidently.

– I have no intention of winning alone recklessly. I’m thinking of just wasting time by keeping the distance. No matter how bad he is, he can’t carelessly ignore the magic bullet, so there’s no problem.

-I understand if you say so. Hold on for one minute. I go into it.-

-Okay. You are strong. Then see you later-

As soon as those words were finished, Kiris ran towards the west. Of course, I also headed east in reverse.

If the north is the pier, the south is the residence, and the east and west are empty right now. You can unleash your power with peace of mind.

Thinking so, I turned my head to capture the faces of the two people who would come after me, and what I saw was a large man with fierce flames, trailing right behind me.

‘Fuck!’

As I rolled my eyes to the side, I saw Kiris, who was flustered as she looked at the two chasing her.

He bit his lip and immediately met my gaze.

-Hold on for a bit. I’ll be there to help soon!-

Even Kirisu couldn’t understand why Emperor Emperor was following me.

We naturally assumed that their target would be Kiris. But that’s just our illusion, maybe… Their target may be me.

No, they are targeting me with a high probability.

‘Did he get caught?’

There’s no reason to chase a 9-star knight for no reason, so it’s easier to see that my identity has been revealed.

Then I wouldn’t even think about killing him. Even if I kill him, he will come back to life, so he will try to bring me alive somehow.

‘Then you have a chance. If you waste your time focusing only on defense… ‘

The time it took for me to talk to Kiris and organize my thoughts was long in words, but in reality it was very short.

Very briefly It was really just a fleeting moment, but it was enough for him.

Kwaaaaang-!

It looks like it was hit by a missile. Before I had time to respond properly, the fist flew into my abdomen, to be exact, the sword barely blocked the way.

“Gagging—”

The defense is shattered in one blow.

The sword that blocked my way was pushed back mercilessly, and I was kicked by his fist and bounced off.

Thump- thump! Kwakwang!

Despite the obvious defense, the internal organs were ruptured. He forcibly squeezed his throat, spitting out the thick blood that poured out, and turned his head to the front.

And,

Kwaaaaang!

The fist of the one who struck at an explosive speed unsuitable for a large body ricocheted it once more and threw it to the ground.

I tried to stop by driving my legs into the ground, but I couldn’t stand the impact and the ground just dug up. All I could do was make two long furrows on the ground like a good cow.

Wow!

After flying thousands of meters like that and crashing into the foot of a mountain, my body stopped. The secondary impact with the viscera ruptured caused terrifying pain.

Indescribable pain. He moaned at the excruciating pain he could not get used to no matter how much he suffered and burned his organs.

Desperately wringing willpower, I forced myself out of the pit.

“… You came after me, not the vigilante?”

He beats people mercilessly and has a calm expression on his face. The aura of flame that covered his whole body was still there, but there was no sign of him running like a madman like before.

At my question, he clenched his fists hard enough to make the sound of bones grinding and slowly began to come closer.

It was an expression of intention that he did not intend to talk.

The strategy of attracting time through conversation failed, so I took a slow, deep breath and moved my aura.

One wheel, two wheels, three wheels. In an instant, the aura that swung around the whole body accelerated and rotated at a furious speed.

It sweeps the mana rod roughly and draws out all the potential that has been dormant in various parts of the body.

The life force added to the flow of the aura, amplified it even more, giving it a formidable force. She immediately used pain block and stood up in response to the terrible pain that ran through her in an instant.

“If a person speaks, why don’t you listen?”

Even at the moment when she bounced off the ground and crashed into the foot of the mountain, she raised her sword, which she did not miss, and killed her as if provoking her.

The answer came right away.

Kaaaaa!!

Speed ​​beyond recognition. Like a missile, the elbow exploded with heat, and the fist that flew in the blink of an eye overlapped with speed to increase the speed of the body and barely managed to knock it off.

Of course, with that alone, my posture collapsed and gaps were revealed.

Whoops-!

The fist doesn’t end with one shot. I retrieved my left fist, and at the same time my outstretched right fist flew in and sent me back again.

‘It’s broken.’

A hand that does not hold a sword. The left hand that received the attack was shattered. In particular, the part hit was completely powdered and limp like a mollusk.

It shouldn’t be like this either. I don’t know when Kiris will come, but I can’t hold out until then.

So I’ll have to make a decision.

‘Invest 10000 in all stats.’

It has been more than 8 months since I left the academy and left the world. During that time, I never once invested karma and collected it.

The amount of karma thus accumulated was slightly over 40,000. Distribute them to each stat.

Deude Deuk—!

The whole body collapses. Although there was no pain, the feeling of my body being broken and reconstructed in real time gave me a terrifying feeling.

Skin peeled off, muscles buckled, and bones shattered into pieces.

And at the same time, it started to evolve more firmly, flexibly, and efficiently.

“Huh…”

Every time a bone breaks and regenerates, the blood circulates faster and heats up. I exhaled and exhaled the heat, enjoying the moment of evolution.

After all, no matter how bad they are, they always wait when they transform or change. When he sees me, he calmly… Didn’t wait

Wow-!

“Keugh!”

The flying punches were knocked out using Yoo Soo’s technique.

Most of his strength was dissipated, but his flaccid arms couldn’t sustain even the slightest bit of energy.

I managed to catch the sword that I almost missed and stepped back.

─Furrrr

His fists are one shot, and each shot is no different from a bomb. Every time he swung, a great topic arose due to the strong force of flames that swept the surroundings.

Perhaps even if this opportunity was passed, the vigilantes would not be able to stay on the island any longer. How can I do that in a place where everything has turned to ashes?

Even in the midst of these thoughts, he continued to connect without delay.

His fists fire with terrifying speed.

It is so fast that even my eyes can see thousands or tens of thousands of afterimages.

Chin, shoulders, flanks, legs. A breathless and rapid offensive continued without covering the whole body. He cut off his breath, holding his breath, and quickly swung his sword.

Chae Jae Jae Jae Jae Jaejae!

Sparks are scattered in all directions, and the intense heat makes your back damp. The fire flicked its tongue as if it were alive, blocking my escape routes from all sides.

Due to Karma’s investment, his physical abilities exploded in real time, and he gradually followed his movements, but the consumption of his stamina was extremely severe.

The hot air shrank the lungs and increased the discomfort index, reducing mental strength.

Even in a dangerous situation to the point where I would die if I lost my eyes even a little bit, he was at ease.

As if looking at the liver, he gradually increased the speed of his attacks and put his fists into my vital points one by one.

Each time it was hit, the bones in that area were crushed and burned with flames.

Through this opportunity, I learned that human meat also smells pretty good when grilled. Of course, I didn’t want to know that.

“Huap!”

Whoops-!

I hit the fist that flew again with my sword and used that power to step back.

‘It’s done now.’

After sneakily examining my body, I finally realized that the evolution of my body had ended.

‘Let’s not be impatient.’

Basically, I go in the direction of holding out, but if the opportunity comes, I will definitely kill it.
