All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 020
Kwaaaaaa!
Despite being in a situation where one wrong step could send him plummeting thousands of feet into the abyss below, there was no hesitation whatsoever in Shin Hyeok’s footsteps.
Though it was an environment where proper footwork techniques couldn’t be used, Shin Hyeok’s steps were incredibly light.
Shin Hyeok, having reached Cheok Nosa’s front, thrust his sword forward.
He didn’t have the slightest thought that Cheok Nosa would be in danger.
Even if Shin Hyeok thrust his sword with all his might right now, he wasn’t even confident he could leave a single scratch on Cheok Nosa’s skin.
At Shin Hyeok’s full-powered thrust, Cheok Nosa extended his hand with a faint smile.
Slow yet fast, simple yet profound – a single strike.
At this rate, his sword would be taken away the moment it began, but Shin Hyeok demonstrated his technique with an expressionless face.
“Twist Thrust.”
“…!”
Choi Shin-hyeok Style Chapter 1 – Twist Thrust.
A snake-like thrust moving in syncopated rhythm cleverly evaded Cheok Nosa’s hand and burrowed toward his heart.
Cheok Nosa showed slight surprise at the attack that flowed past his hand like water and flew toward his heart.
Clang!
Of course, that didn’t mean it was successful.
The palm that had somehow smoothly returned precisely blocked the sword’s tip.
A clash between a Unique+ grade sword made primarily of Unique grade materials with Rare grade materials added, and a body made of flesh and blood.
Anyone would expect the former to win, but surprisingly, the result was the complete opposite.
“Cough!”
Shin Hyeok, who collided with Cheok Nosa’s palm, suffered severe internal injuries.
It was internal damage caused by the recoil from the robustness of Cheok Nosa’s body.
In contrast, not even a crack-like wound remained on Cheok Nosa’s palm.
More precisely, there were wounds more minute than that, but such injuries had long since disappeared before one could even blink.
At this fact, Shin Hyeok briefly pulled back his body and tended to his internal injuries.
In the fleeting moment of tending to his internal injuries.
“Now it’s my turn to give it a try.”
“…!”
Cheok Nosa, who had just received Shin Hyeok’s attack, demonstrated movements like flowing clouds as he smoothly approached.
The moment he perceived it, seeing Cheok Nosa who had come close beside him, Shin Hyeok gritted his teeth and struck out with his left palm.
Naturally, remembering the situation from just before, Shin Hyeok absolutely did not collide with Cheok Nosa’s body.
He used his mana to strike the air and push Cheok Nosa away.
Though he was pushed back only a very slight distance, Shin Hyeok, who had bought himself a moment of time, looked at Cheok Nosa’s hand flying toward him and gripped his sword diagonally.
“Blade Back Hook.”
Clank!
Choi Shin-hyeok Style Chapter 3 – Blade Back Hook.
It was a technique that used the back of the blade to diagonally deflect incoming attacks.
Though he felt sounds and impacts unbelievable for a collision with a hand, Shin Hyeok endured it.
First, because he had experienced it once before, he could prepare for it, and second, because he had deflected as much impact as possible with the Blade Back Hook.
However, since there couldn’t be no impact at all, Shin Hyeok staggered and increased his distance from Cheok Nosa.
“Are you trying to run away? But this place isn’t that wide. How long can you keep running-“
Whoooosh!
Cheok Nosa, who had been closely pursuing such Shin Hyeok, flinched at Shin Hyeok’s sword flying toward him.
Cheok Nosa was Wushen.
Naturally, being a martial artist as well, he couldn’t help but flinch at throwing one’s weapon without hesitation.
Therefore, he responded a beat late to Choi Shin-hyeok Style Chapter 7 – Weapon Throw.
Thud!
The sword, struck by Cheok Nosa’s forearm and bounced away, rolled on the ground.
While other players would have been horrified to see this, Shin Hyeok didn’t spare even a glance at the sword rolling on the ground and immediately drew a bow and arrows from his inventory.
That wasn’t the end of it.
“Undine, Kasa, Sylph, Gnome.”
Four low-grade spirits appeared in response to Shin Hyeok’s call.
They infused their power into Shin Hyeok’s bow and arrows.
With the spirits’ help, the Common grade bow and arrows temporarily gained power equivalent to Rare grade.
The archery that Shin Hyeok displayed with this precisely aimed at Cheok Nosa.
Pip pip pip pip ping!
Shin Hyeok’s archery, which shot over ten arrows in a brief moment, was nothing short of divine skill.
Choi Shin-hyeok Style Chapter 4 – Rapid Fire.
This was even more so considering that all of them were aimed only at Cheok Nosa’s vital points.
The joints of legs and arms.
The space between the eyebrows and the philtrum.
The chest and abdomen.
Even the groin.
Seeing the arrow flying toward his groin, Cheok Nosa couldn’t hide his absurdity – that said it all.
However, separate from that, Cheok Nosa’s defense was perfect.
Thud thud thud thud thud!
Hands that instantly multiplied like the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara caught all the flying arrows.
It was divine-level hand technique that went beyond defense to completely nullify the attacks themselves.
Despite his attacks being reduced to nothing, Shin Hyeok’s eyes were still fiercely burning with fighting spirit.
At this, Cheok Nosa burst into hearty laughter that didn’t match his appearance.
“Haha! Come! I’ll receive your full power with everything I have!”
It was the heart of a senior facing the sincerity of a much younger junior.
As if responding to Cheok Nosa’s shout upon facing this, Shin Hyeok drew suitable weapons from his inventory and charged forward.
Swish swish swish swish swish!
Weapon throws at speeds too fast to see continued.
Swords, spears, axes, daggers, and more.
An incredibly diverse array of weapons flew through the air rushing toward Cheok Nosa, and Cheok Nosa deflected them with gentle or firm touches.
During this, Shin Hyeok’s figure disappeared.
‘…Behind!’
Though he had lowered his level for the meeting with Shin Hyeok, Wushen’s intuition hadn’t gone anywhere.
The moment Cheok Nosa felt Shin Hyeok preparing a chilling strike behind him and lightly turned his body to prepare for it.
‘A fist?’
Shin Hyeok with his fist clenched came into view.
At the same time.
Thud thud thud thud thud!
Choi Shin-hyeok Style Chapter 6 – Soul Thrust was unleashed.
Soul Thrust performed with fists.
It contained the mysteries of explosive force and fist wind.
The will to use fist wind to avoid direct impact, and explosive force to shake not the sturdy exterior but the interior.
Since it was an attack unleashed at ultra-close range, even Cheok Nosa couldn’t block everything this time.
Finally allowing several hits, Cheok Nosa wore a slight smile.
“Heavy. Isn’t this a bit too much for an old man?”
“You were the one who said you’d receive my full power, Cheok Nosa.”
“Ahem, but… if this is the end, it’s a bit disappointing…”
“I thought you might say that.”
“What do you mean?”
“Please be careful. In a state where you’ve lowered your physical abilities to match my level out of consideration for me, it might hurt a little.”
“…Kahahaha, good! Very good! Come!”
Cheok Nosa, who was greatly pleased with Shin Hyeok not only noticing that he was adjusting to match him but also giving him a heads-up that it might hurt in that state, returned to his original stance.
One hand behind his back, the other extended forward as he waited for Shin Hyeok’s attack.
In response, Shin Hyeok let the mana throughout his entire body run wild.
Kugugugugugugugu!
“Hooh!”
Cheok Nosa, who immediately realized what Shin Hyeok was trying to do, let out an exclamation of admiration.
Despite the Wushen’s admiration, Shin Hyeok paid no heed and brought out his final move.
“…Overload.”
Choi Shin-hyeok Style Chapter 10 – Overload.
A secret technique that pushes one’s physical body beyond its limits for a very short time by letting mana run wild throughout the entire body.
However, even the slightest mistake could cause the mana load to become tangled or completely shattered, so it wasn’t a method just anyone could use.
And Shin Hyeok was a Player who had handled this better than anyone else in his previous life.
“…I’m going.”
All preparations were complete.
His body, which had barely qualified for Gold level, instantly surged up to Platinum level.
In that state, the final move Shin Hyeok would unleash was-
“Heaven-Shattering Annihilation Style – Heaven Annihilation Collapsing Bird Fist.”
Cheok Nosa’s martial art.
It was the Heaven Annihilation Collapsing Bird Fist of the Heaven-Shattering Annihilation Style.
Though he had shown the Heaven Annihilation Collapsing Bird Fist while passing through the waves, the technique he was displaying now was 180 degrees different from then.
His greatly enhanced physical abilities.
Mana boiling up like lava.
The Heaven Annihilation Collapsing Bird Fist created with these was nothing short of completely different from before.
“…Truly beautiful. Then I cannot remain idle either.”
Though it was like showing off in front of the original creator since he was displaying the technique before Cheok Nosa, the originator, Cheok Nosa was rather satisfied.
And Cheok Nosa’s satisfaction soon took the form of action.
Invisible flying blades compressed from a mixture of air and mana.
Holding them in his hands, Cheok Nosa spoke with a smiling face.
“Heaven-Shattering Annihilation Style.”
“…!!!”
The Heaven-Shattering Annihilation Style directly unleashed from the hands of the being called the originator, the original creator.
Shin Hyeok had already seen it once in the past.
The Heaven-Shattering Annihilation Style he had seen then was the Heaven Annihilation Collapsing Bird Fist, Chapter 1, Section 1.
And the Heaven-Shattering Annihilation Style he would see again now was definitely not the Heaven Annihilation Collapsing Bird Fist.
Just as two suns cannot be tolerated in one sky, only one collapsing bird had risen.
But like the divine being said to have shot down the sun, Cheok Nosa aimed his invisible flying blades at the collapsing bird that would destroy the heavens.
Finally, seeing the collapsing bird flying toward him, Cheok Nosa opened his mouth.
“Heaven Annihilation Ultimate Thunder Flying Blade.”
“…!!!”
Ping!
Despite dozens of invisible flying blades being shot, only one sound of cutting through air could be heard.
An unbelievably precise and swift attack.
That was the blade containing the strongest lightning that destroys the heavens.
The Heaven Annihilation Ultimate Thunder Flying Blade.
-…!!!
Watching the giant collapsing bird that would destroy the heavens get struck by dozens of invisible flying blades and crash down with a mournful cry, Shin Hyeok fainted from the recoil of Overload.
[You have acquired Skill: Heaven-Shattering Annihilation Style[B].]
[Skill: Fist Technique[E] has been absorbed into Heaven-Shattering Annihilation Style[B].]
The last message window Shin Hyeok saw before fainting was more than enough to bring a smile to his lips as he lost consciousness.
“He’s not quite ready to be taken as a disciple yet, so temporary disciple would be better. I should prepare one more gift befitting that status.”
[You have acquired Title: Wushen’s Disciple (Temporary).]
[You have acquired Skill: Taiji Divine Art[D].]
On top of that, Cheok Nosa’s generous gifts were like a grandmother’s feast table on a holiday – a bonus.
