All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 060

 

‘He’s definitely a former Orc Champion, so his physical abilities are absolutely ridiculous.’

 

Triple Enhancement – Reinforcement.

 

Shin Hyeok’s new enhancement technique created by mixing mana, magic power, and Sacred Power.

 

Its amplification rate was incomparable to ordinary mana enhancement.

 

But even so, Shin Hyeok was clearly at a disadvantage in terms of physical abilities.

 

His opponent was a former Orc Champion.

 

Even though his physical abilities had declined due to restrictions placed on him when he became the Colosseum’s Champion, those abilities hadn’t gone anywhere.

 

Moreover, since Tarkan had also greatly enhanced his physical abilities through the Trinity of Light, there was a possibility that the current Tarkan had regained some of his past glory.

 

No, it was almost certain.

 

Nevertheless, Shin Hyeok was confident.

 

‘I will win.’

 

A perfect declaration of victory.

 

Of course, he’d often heard it was no different from a defeat flag, but that only applied to the losers of the era.

 

Ignoring the voice of a man with a donut hole in his chest saying ‘Cancel those words…!’ that flickered beside him, Shin Hyeok purchased a title addition ticket from the Achievement shop.

 

‘50,000 points… It’s expensive, but I would have had to buy it eventually.’

 

An expensive item that cost a whopping 50,000 points each.

 

Furthermore, it was an item whose price kept increasing with each purchase.

 

Still, since he didn’t need to buy two right now, Shin Hyeok bought just one and immediately equipped the Socheonma Candidate title following Disciple of Wushen (Temporary).

 

With this, all preparations were complete.

 

“Lightning Step.”

 

Crackle!

 

Black lightning wrapped around Shin Hyeok’s legs as his figure disappeared.

 

Only after Shin Hyeok disappeared did the thunder’s roar echo, making Tarkan flinch, but like the born warrior he was, he quickly recovered from his surprise and looked around.

 

Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh!

 

Shin Hyeok’s figure circling around him frantically was so fast that only afterimages were visible.

 

The combination of transcendent physical abilities and Cheonma Seonggong was that impressive.

 

But Tarkan was both a warrior and a shaman.

 

“Eagle’s eye, deer’s legs, wind’s embrace, earth’s sprint.”

 

Keeeeeeeeng!

 

He instantly chanted auxiliary spells.

 

Eagle’s eye that enhanced vision.

 

Deer’s legs that strengthened leg power.

 

Wind’s embrace that lightened the body.

 

Earth’s sprint that increased speed.

 

All of these settled together, and while the burden on his body increased as a backlash, his physical abilities enhanced by the Trinity of Light shook off the burden.

 

“Found you.”

 

Whoooooosh!

 

Based on the physical abilities enhanced through spells, Tarkan found Shin Hyeok’s current location and charged.

 

A terrifying speed that didn’t match his massive frame at all.

 

Reaching Shin Hyeok in an instant, Tarkan raised his glaive once more.

 

“Sky Splitter!”

 

“…!”

 

Whoooooooosh!!!

 

A downward strike followed by a hard downward strike.

 

Going one step further, a damn hard downward strike.

 

It was simple and crude, but its power was nothing short of outstanding.

 

The Colosseum’s floor collapsed, crumbled, and exploded.

 

Floor fragments scattered around like grenades, sweeping the surroundings.

 

Naturally, the fragments concentrated toward Shin Hyeok.

 

The fragment barrage that dominated the entire space pounded Shin Hyeok’s body.

 

“Protective Magic, Body Protection, Shield, Divine Barrier.”

 

Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud!

 

Quadruple layered shields.

 

Barriers deployed with magic power, mana, magic, and Sacred Power blocked the fragments.

 

A downpour.

 

Perhaps like standing in the middle of heavy hail, the impact flowed through the shields to Shin Hyeok.

 

But there was no substantial damage.

 

Therefore, the moment Shin Hyeok’s eyes gleamed.

 

“Continuous Twist Thrust.”

 

Choi Shin-hyeok Style Chapter 1 – Twist Thrust was deployed consecutively.

 

Thrusts alternating between the holy sword and Arcane Spear.

 

Since they were cleverly twisted making it impossible to predict their proper trajectory, Tarkan could only entrust his body to instinct.

 

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

 

Offsetting the impact that rang sharply along the glaive’s blade with fighting spirit, Tarkan roared.

 

“Graaaaaaah!!!”

 

A warrior’s roar.

 

This contained shamanic mysteries that made enemies cower and amplified his own physical abilities.

 

Morale boost was a bonus.

 

In response, Shin Hyeok lifted his foot and stomped directly on Tarkan’s instep.

 

“Foot Crusher.”

 

“…!”

 

Whoooooosh!

 

An impact powerful enough to burst the floor beneath fell precisely on Tarkan’s instep.

 

Many think feet are crude, but surprisingly, feet are delicate organs.

 

Especially the instep.

 

It’s easy to understand if you think of the pain when a box corner falls on that area where all sorts of nerves run around.

 

Naturally, the power of Shin Hyeok’s Foot Crusher wasn’t at the level of a box corner falling from 1 meter high.

 

His foot was half-destroyed.

 

Due to this, Tarkan’s mobility instantly dropped by nearly a third.

 

Tarkan could still move with his damaged foot.

 

Thanks to the Trinity of Light, his body was so enhanced that pain didn’t register properly.

 

But just because pain didn’t register didn’t mean he could maintain original efficiency.

 

From that point, Shin Hyeok’s hunt began.

 

“Lightning Step.”

 

Crackle!

 

Once again, black lightning wrapped around Shin Hyeok’s legs.

 

“Soul Thrust, Flash Demon, Wind Demon.”

 

Choi Shin-hyeok Style Chapter 6 – Soul Thrust.

 

Cheonma Seonggong Chapter 1, Section 2 – Flash Demon and Chapter 1, Section 3 – Wind Demon unfolded.

 

First, the holy sword’s Soul Thrust pierced through Tarkan, then the Arcane Spear’s Flash Demon pierced through again, and in that state, the Arcane Spear swung widely.

 

A triple combo that occurred in an instant.

 

Unable to dodge properly due to his reduced mobility and forced to block them, Tarkan’s figure swayed greatly.

 

A gap created in an instant.

 

“Body Slam.”

 

Thud!!!

 

Shin Hyeok didn’t miss that opportunity.

 

Choi Shin-hyeok Style Chapter 9 – Body Slam.

 

Launching off with Lightning Step, he flew and crashed into Tarkan’s upper body.

 

The heavy impact shattered bones and organs, and black dead blood trickled down from Tarkan’s mouth.

 

But Tarkan didn’t just take it lying down either.

 

Kwaaaak!

 

“Got you…!”

 

“…!”

 

Tarkan, who had caught Shin Hyeok attempting a body slam, swung his own head like a hammer and delivered a headbutt to Shin Hyeok.

 

Zzzeeeeeong!

 

“Ugh, my head is ringing…”

 

Despite the Absorption Armor’s unique skill: Shock Absorption absorbing most of the impact, Shin Hyeok staggered from the bone-rattling shock.

 

Of course, Tarkan wasn’t unscathed either.

 

Internal injuries from the body slam and skull fractures from his own headbutt.

 

He was busy struggling with all kinds of shock and pain.

 

A momentary lull as both recovered from their respective impacts.

 

That passed in the blink of an eye.

 

“Uoooooooo!!!”

 

“Kraaaaaaaa!!!”

 

The two men glared at each other with wide eyes and charged toward one another.

 

Bang! Bang! Kwang! Bang bang bang bang!!!

 

A frenzied melee unfolded.

 

The glaive, holy sword, and Arcane Spear clashed, creating sparks that formed small suns in a brutal war of attrition.

 

Within that chaos, both men reached their limits and began to surpass them.

 

“I’ll show you! My ultimate power! Planet Splitter!!!”

 

Following the downward strike, heavy downward strike, and fucking heavy downward strike came the final finishing move.

 

The really fucking heavy downward strike fell toward Shin Hyeok.

 

With power that could literally split a planet, Shin Hyeok also gritted his teeth and thrust his Arcane Spear.

 

“Lightning Wind Extreme Demon!”

 

[Cheonma shows interest.]

 

A new technique combining the Lightning Demon’s piercing power with the Wind Demon’s destructive force.

 

A technique that even Cheonma, the master of Cheonma Seonggong, found interesting enough to show interest in, clashed with the glaive.

 

Zzzeeeeeeeeeong!

 

An enormous shockwave erupted from the two men’s center, sending both their forms flying backward like cannonballs.

 

Kukwagagagagak!

 

The two men, who had skipped across the floor like stones and crashed into the wall, crawled out like zombies, clearing wall debris with their battered appearances.

 

Shin Hyeok, who emerged this way, no longer had the Arcane Spear in his hand.

 

“Looking for this?”

 

“…Wrapping the Arcane Spear in fighting spirit to interfere with its return. That’s a good method.”

 

The Arcane Spear, wrapped in crimson fighting spirit and trembling violently, was embedded next to Tarkan.

 

Because of Tarkan’s fighting spirit, the skill: Return was being interfered with and couldn’t come back to Shin Hyeok.

 

With this, Shin Hyeok had lost one of his two arms.

 

In the current situation, he couldn’t use Admiral Yi Sun-sin’s bow either, so only one weapon remained: the holy sword.

 

“This is nice. It brings back old memories.”

 

“…What?”

 

“The Arcane Spear and holy sword. Wielding two weapons and advancing like a tank has its own charm, but… I suppose I’m a natural swordsman after all.”

 

Chak-

 

Shin Hyeok, who had been reminiscing about the distant past with a faint smile, gripped the holy sword with both hands for the first time.

 

Since he had to hold the Arcane Spear in his other hand, he had always held the holy sword with just one hand, but the moment he gripped it with both hands.

 

“Transcendence.”

 

The Plus Ultra Ring on Shin Hyeok’s finger emitted a harsh light and seeped into Shin Hyeok.

 

Transcendence.

 

A fraudulent skill that raised one of his possessed skills by one level.

 

The skill it chose was-

 

“Comprehensive Weapon Arts [B].”

 

It was Comprehensive Weapon Arts [B].

 

Soon, Comprehensive Weapon Arts [B], imbued with the power of transcendence, rose to Comprehensive Weapon Arts [A].

 

Kiiiiiiing!

 

Comprehensive Weapon Arts [A] hammered sword principles, sword paths, sword fighting, and other information that normally couldn’t be given to the current Shin Hyeok into his mind.

 

Anyone else would have collapsed unable to endure this, becoming half-disabled or even dying in severe cases, but for Shin Hyeok, it was merely a path he had already walked.

 

Therefore, the moment he instantly devoured the information provided by Comprehensive Weapon Arts [A] and melted it into his body.

 

Tsutsutsutsutsutsu!

 

“Sword aura…”

 

Brilliant sword aura bloomed above Shin Hyeok’s holy sword.

 

It wasn’t ordinary sword aura either.

 

The milky white holy sword aura that had grown by absorbing the holy sword’s Sacred Power was like that of a noble paladin.

 

But Tarkan, looking at the holy sword aura, felt it.

 

‘That… is even more intense than fighting sword aura.’

 

Usually, the nature of techniques like sword aura is determined by the energy used.

 

Mana embodies purity, magic embodies explosiveness, fighting spirit embodies intensity, and Sacred Power embodies holiness.

 

However, this principle fades before one thing.

 

‘Human warrior, Shin-hyeok Choi. Is your mental image that intense?’

 

Mental image.

 

Whether warrior, mage, or spirit summoner.

 

Even beings like blacksmiths and alchemists who don’t wield swords or staves possess mental images.

 

Depending on what that is, cases exist where one gains characteristics opposite to the energy used.

 

Of course, it was a sight even Tarkan had never seen, but with the result before his eyes, he couldn’t help but believe it.

 

“Good! A warrior’s end should rightfully be more solemn, heavier, and more magnificent than any other time! Here, today! The moment my final hour is decided has arrived, so how could I avoid it! Come! I shall receive your sword!”

 

Bang bang!

 

Competitive spirit and fighting spirit dwelt in Tarkan’s eyes as he pounded his chest until it might break.

 

As his emotions responded and his red burning fighting sword aura became even more intense.

 

“I could have used sword aura even without transcendence. Nevertheless, the reason I used transcendence is just one.”

 

“…!”

 

Sarararararak!

 

Shin Hyeok’s holy sword aura instantly unraveled.

 

Did it disappear?

 

No, that wasn’t it.

 

“Sword… threads… How, how do you possess that power… Challenger… How can you handle something that only players with S-rank sword skills or equivalent can use?”

 

Sword threads.

 

Shin Hyeok’s holy sword aura had transformed into dozens of holy sword threads.

 

As Tarkan stared blankly at the fluttering threads of sword aura.

 

“Here I go.”

 

“…Ha! My end will be most magnificent.”

 

Shin Hyeok kicked off from his position, and Tarkan let out a hollow laugh.

 

Chwareureureureuk!

 

Simultaneously, the pure white threads of sword aura surrounded Tarkan like a cocoon.

 

Thuduk!

 

The sword aura cocoon collapsed shortly after.

 

In the place where the sword thread cocoon had unraveled, only one person stood.

 

A being standing proudly like a butterfly that had completed its metamorphosis within the cocoon.

 

Naturally, it was Shin Hyeok.

 

[Waaaaaaaaaaa!]

 

The roar of the audience filling the Colosseum.

 

It was the moment a new Colosseum Champion was decided.
