All Master Who Regressed to Bronze Episode 094

Kwaaaaaaaang!!!

Bungjo and Yeomjo.

In the head-on collision between these two summon-like beings, there was no victor.

Certainly, the Heaven-Shattering Annihilation Style was an incomparably powerful technique, but Shin Hyeok who wielded it was still lacking, and Inho was in a state where his energy was completely drained from consecutive attacks and the Colosseum’s debuffs, so neither could claim perfect superiority.

Chiiiiiiik!

The entire Colosseum was engulfed in thick smoke from the aftermath of Bungjo and Yeomjo’s collision.

Though it was difficult to see even an inch ahead, Shin Hyeok stepped into the smoke without the slightest hesitation.

“Super Sense [D], Mana Detection [C].”

Super Sense and Mana Detection.

This was possible because he completely trusted these two skills.

With just these two skills, even if his eyes and ears were blocked, he could advance toward his exact target, so Shin Hyeok pressed forward through the smoke.

With each step he took, he drew closer to the target that Super Sense and Mana Detection conveyed to him.

At the same time, Shin Hyeok attacked the empty air of the smoke where nothing was visible.

Booooooong!

“Tsk.”

A massive fireball that came flying through the smoke exploded, covering the surroundings with sparks.

Watching the crackling sparks roll around on his Absorption Armor, Shin Hyeok clicked his tongue briefly and felt his target moving away from him.

‘Since he’s from the Heavenly Realm, he must have detection-type magic or skills.’

Inho had noticed Shin Hyeok’s approach and accurately launched an attack at Shin Hyeok’s location.

This meant he had high-grade skills at least at the level of Mana Detection, if not Super Sense.

If he hadn’t had them, Shin Hyeok could have delivered a critical hit in one strike by combining it with Assassination Manual [C], and though this regret flickered before his eyes, Shin Hyeok didn’t mind.

Since he hadn’t expected to close the distance in one go anyway, the regret quickly faded.

‘Heukcheonryeobo is risky, so I’ll have to settle for Ryeomapo.’

Heukcheonryeobo was too much of a strain due to his precarious mana.

So Shin Hyeok chose Ryeomapo as his second option and lightly kicked off from his position.

Kwarung!

Shin Hyeok, wrapped in black lightning, became a streak of black thunder and cut across the smoke.

But in response, Inho’s presence also moved away.

“…Ha, are we playing tag or something?”

A chase of pursuit and evasion.

Shin Hyeok let out a hollow laugh at how the situation that should have been reversed had turned out this way, then soon pulled up his energy with an expressionless face.

“Tag sounds great. If you get caught, you die, for real.”

Kugugugugugugugu!!!

Since Shin Hyeok had never once played with Inho during childhood, this game of tag with Inho at this very moment was incredibly enjoyable for him.

“Mana, magi, sacred power. Triple Energy Fusion – Enhancement.”

First, he scraped together all his remaining energy to use Triple Energy Fusion – Enhancement.

Shin Hyeok, having boosted his physical abilities once again, began chasing Inho in earnest.

* * *

“Huff, huk… Kuk! How did it come to this…”

The Colosseum filled with smoke.

Being as massive as a decent-sized stadium, there was no problem with running away, but this situation itself was a huge shock to Inho.

Running away.

He had never retreated even against Geom-wang, who was a fellow King-tier Player.

The same went for Emperor-tier Players.

There were only two who had made him feel defeat and frustration.

Emperor-tier Players.

America’s Mawang and Europe’s Muwang.

Excluding these two, Inho had never once thought himself beneath anyone.

This was especially true after he had obtained ‘her’.

But right now, at this very moment.

Inho was cornered to the point where he recalled the first time he faced Mawang and Muwang.

“I’ll kill you… I’ll kill you… I’ll definitely kill you…!!!”

The flames of his incarnation form flickered violently, representing Inho’s current emotions.

With bloodshot eyes, he roughly tore through the smoke.

He was being chased now, but just a little more.

If he could gather just a little more strength, he could mount a meaningful counterattack-

“Here’s Johnny!”

“…Kuk!”

Kwagagagagagagak!!!

But Inho’s wish could not be fulfilled.

Shin Hyeok appeared with a grin, cutting through the smoke with his holy sword, and his sword strikes began pressing Inho hard.

“How!”

“I’ve gotten somewhat familiar with assassin methods. The art of not being detected. Not being caught while hiding. How about it, easy right?”

“…Impudent!”

Inho was shocked to see Shin Hyeok approach without being caught by his detection magic, but when Shin Hyeok made Uncle Bob’s expression and shrugged his shoulders, Inho unleashed attacks with a face twisted like a demon.

“Fire Storm!”

Kwarurururururu!

A storm of flames.

Fire Storm unfolded from Inho’s hands, beginning to burn everything around without exception.

“Oh, S-rank.”

Naturally, this was S-rank fire magic that could only be deployed with S-rank magic skills.

Though it was of lower quality even among S-rank spells, S-rank was still S-rank.

Currently, Shin Hyeok had no S-rank skills unless he used the transcendent skill from his Plus Ultra Ring.

But it was fine.

Kiiiiiiing!!!

“Sword… aura?”

“Yes, quite useful, isn’t it?”

“Impossible!!! Sword aura- sword aura isn’t a technique that someone like you should be able to use!!!”

Because he had already used his transcendent skill in Wushen’s transcendent domain.

Comprehensive Weapon Arts [A] stepped into S-rank territory as a transcendent skill, and based on that, he pulled forward the technique, the miracle he had deployed in his future.

Sword aura.

A technique that could be counted on one hand even among Challengers, and at this point on Earth, only Muwang could deploy.

Even that was evaluated as incomplete and unstable – such was the position that the technique called sword aura held.

Such sword aura.

Inho let out a hollow laugh at the fact that it was brilliantly unfolding from none other than Shin Hyeok’s hands.

The reason was simple.

“Spear aura too… Haha, it’s like watching a terrible black comedy.”

Because Shin Hyeok’s aura wasn’t limited to just swords.

Holy sword and arcane spear.

Two auras blazing from two weapons.

Sword aura and spear aura.

Watching the aura burning with pure white sacred power on one side and pitch-black magi on the other left him speechless.

And having completed all preparations, Shin Hyeok swung both sword and spear simultaneously.

“Flash Wind Extreme Demon. Heaven-Annihilating Flash Slash.”

Cheonma Seonggong – Choi Shin-hyeok Style and Heaven-Shattering Annihilation Style Chapter 1 – Section 3, deployed based on arcane spear aura and holy sword aura.

Its power was beyond what could be described as tremendous.

Disaster.

That’s what S-rank skills are generally called.

Players below the Heavenly Realm level can’t possess them due to insufficient ability, and S-rank skills deployed by players of that level truly possess earth-shaking power.

Fire Storm, being an S-rank skill in name, was no less than a disaster.

In fact, Fire Storm was enough to engulf the entire Colosseum in flames.

If time continued like this, it was a foregone conclusion that the Colosseum would be reduced to ashes.

But the moment Shin Hyeok’s two techniques struck.

Kwagagagagagagagagagak!!!

Fire Storm was completely shattered.

Seeing his proud S-rank skill crumble from its core in a single blow, Inho gritted his teeth with a grinding sound.

Of course, that didn’t change anything.

Fire Storm was the strongest card Inho could show.

Though it didn’t display its original power due to his poor condition, the fact that it was his strongest card remained unchanged.

In other words, Inho had no means more powerful than this.

“Do you think I’ll just take this lying down?”

Even so, Inho didn’t give up.

His flame incarnation was still maintained, and the Colosseum had become a sea of fire due to Fire Storm’s influence.

Though he received debuffs, Inho was also receiving environmental advantages.

And Inho went one step further from there.

“Ignis!!! I offer the ember of annihilation flame!!! Answer my summons!!!”

“…!”

Annihilation flame.

He offered what he possessed as a price to summon the highest-grade fire spirit, Ignis.

From highest-grade spirits onward, each one was an existence equivalent to S-rank skills or higher.

Of course, since it wasn’t a direct contract but a temporary summoning contract, its power was greatly weakened, but even so, the prestige of a highest-grade spirit was never small.

Hwaleuleuleuleuleuleuk!

‘It’s hot. My whole body. No, it feels like my soul is burning.’

Golden power, physical enhancement from triple spirit fusion.

Body: flame resistance from the Flame Extreme Body.

The defensive power of the Absorption Armor.

Even with all these combined, he felt tremendous heat.

Shin Hyeok’s face slightly frowned at the sensation of standing in the middle of hellfire.

But that was all.

Crack!

‘Even a highest-grade spirit is manageable with sword aura. In the end, it’s just a battle of spear against spear. It’s a matter of who gets pierced first.’

Shin Hyeok watched Ignis slowly beginning to reveal himself and gripped the handles of his arcane spear and holy sword until they might break.

No matter who the opponent was, Shin Hyeok had no intention of giving up.

Just as he had before Cheonma, and just as he had before Wushen, he would simply trust in his martial arts and move forward.

‘Interfere with the summoning? No, that’s a poor strategy. The summoning is already in progress anyway. To forcibly break a contract summoning a high-level existence like a highest-grade spirit, I’d have to overexert myself, and there’s no guarantee of success even then. So the answer is a frontal confrontation.’

Having quickly assessed the situation, Shin Hyeok immediately checked his own condition.

‘I can properly deliver one blow. If I mix spiritual power with strong energy to amplify the strike itself and gather most of my remaining energy, I can deal significant damage close to reverse summoning even to a highest-grade spirit. Good, I’ll go with this.’

After considering everything from his physical aspects like stamina, energy, and mental strength to his skills and characteristics, Shin Hyeok drew out everything he had to face Ignis who would soon appear.

“Taeguk Divine Art, Cheonma Divine Technique.”

Kiiiiiiing!

First, to replenish his insufficient mana and magic energy, he raised the gear of Taeguk Divine Art and Cheonma Divine Technique, which were already operating at their limits, one level higher.

Thanks to this, pain beyond his brain burning to melting struck him, but Shin Hyeok’s face only frowned slightly.

“Shield, Divine Shield, Protective Energy, Protective Magic Energy.”

Jiiiiiiiing!

Next was defense.

Four defensive barriers deployed using everything he had.

Magic Shield.

Sacred Power’s Divine Shield.

Mana’s Protective Energy.

Magic Energy’s Protective Magic Energy.

The quadruple-layered shields protected Shin Hyeok without any gaps, but Shin Hyeok didn’t stop there.

“Auto Defense System – Overclock.”

Kiiiiiiing!

He pushed the legendary equipment: Auto Defense System to its limits.

It would overload and become unusable for some time afterward, but in a situation where even the immediate future was uncertain, the future didn’t matter.

This completed the defense portion.

Well, it might be insufficient, but since there were no more options even if he struggled, Shin Hyeok coolly gave up.

Originally, Shin Hyeok was more confident in offense than defense, and above all, defense was merely a stepping stone to withstand Ignis’s attack and deliver his own.

And having finished his preparations, Shin Hyeok finally drew up his spiritual power.

Puhwak!

“Sigh.”

Of course, the amount was pitifully small.

It couldn’t be helped.

Spiritual power was the lowest among Shin Hyeok’s stats.

Its recovery speed was also the lowest.

As such, at this moment just after finishing his spar with Wushen, he didn’t have much spiritual power.

But Shin Hyeok suppressed the sigh that burst out and mixed spiritual power into his sword aura and spear aura.

Though it was like a situation of truffle content (0.0000083%), the effect of spiritual power was definitely remarkable.

Purple light swirled around the pure white sword aura and jet-black spear aura, supplementing the slightly lacking power and force.

“All preparations are complete. Is the other side almost ready too?”

While Shin Hyeok prepared, Inho also didn’t particularly interfere with Shin Hyeok and focused only on summoning.

Though he offered the huge price of annihilation flame, summoning was another story, so Inho also had no time to pay attention to Shin Hyeok, allowing both to focus only on themselves.

Having focused only on themselves, both finished their preparations almost simultaneously—

Kwaaaaaaaaa!

From the sky of the Colosseum, close to an otherworld isolated from reality, a handsome male figure in the form of fire appeared with a massive pillar of flame.

An intensity that made one think this might be what the sun would look like if it became human.

‘Ignis. It’s been a while.’

Naturally, he was an acquaintance of Shin Hyeok.

Of course, only before his regression.

Having faced him as both enemy and ally, he couldn’t help but feel nostalgia first upon seeing Ignis.

But now he was an enemy.

So when Shin Hyeok glared at Ignis and gripped his spear shaft and sword handle even tighter.

The strong energy gleaming from Shin Hyeok and his weapons.

More precisely, Ignis, who was looking at the spiritual power mixed within it, asked.

-Human. Should I kill that being?

Death.

At those words, Inho, who had summoned Ignis, was horrified and shook his head.

“What are you saying! Just pressure him until he’s about to die!”

-I see.

Since he didn’t expect Ignis to try to kill Shin Hyeok outright, when Inho corrected him, Ignis soon held something out to Inho.

-Take this.

“This is… the annihilation flame. Why are you giving this back…?”

The ember of annihilation flame.

When Inho received back what he had offered as the contract’s price and looked at Ignis with a bewildered face.

Suleuleuleuk-

-Now, come at me! I am your opponent, human!

“…?”

“…?”

Ignis naturally moved to Shin Hyeok’s side.

Shin Hyeok has gained Ignis as a companion!
