Chapter 115
115: Lov Korea (2)
The day after the Dohyun Party’s guard duty ended, Han Muyeol had already submitted a sparring request to the Lov Korea team in advance. Naturally, this sparring request was kept secret so that only Han Muyeol and the Lov Korea Party would know about it.
Arena 8 was also sealed off so that no one else could even approach it, and he had even added conditions to this sparring match to ensure maximum confidentiality with the Lov Korea Party.
Most people wouldn’t have been trustworthy, but the Lov Korea Party was certainly reliable.
Even if Elliot, the Party Leader, wasn’t involved, the other four members were young people with exceptional patriotism and loyalty to the Association, so Han Muyeol trusted them and submitted the sparring request.
Of course, to be safe and prevent any unforeseen circumstances, he didn’t forget to provide Dohyun and his companions with new false identities.
Having prepared for this sparring match so thoroughly, he wasn’t particularly worried.
However, while Han Muyeol was concentrating on his work, he felt a vibration coming from afar and lifted his head.
Turning his head to pinpoint the source of the vibration, it was none other than Arena 8.
It was only 1:50 PM, not yet 2 o’clock, but the sparring had already begun, so he let out a light chuckle.
‘Youth.’
He thought it was fitting given how passionately they burned.
Dohyun had a rough and cocky side to him, and Elliot seemed light-hearted at first glance, but he was a man more serious than anyone else.
However, Han Muyeol smiled to himself and murmured inwardly.
‘It won’t be easy.’
It was surprising that the Dohyun Party had grasped the subtleties of the Inner Mindscape, but he didn’t think they had mastered it all in just one day.
While reviewing yesterday’s work, he had felt traces of sparring and vibrations, but even so, facing the Lov Korea Party—Elliot’s team—with only three people would be a heavy burden. Curious about what the outcome would be, Han Muyeol returned his focus to his work.
He knew that if results came, Dohyun would contact him on his own.
How much time had passed? True to form, Han Muyeol’s phone displayed Dohyun’s number, indicating an incoming call.
The time showed 2:15 PM.
‘Twenty-five minutes for the sparring?’
Shorter than expected, he wondered if the Dohyun Party was weaker than he’d anticipated, so he answered the call to find out how things had gone.
* * *
Before Han Muyeol answered the phone—that is, before it even became 1:50 PM—it was the moment Dohyun hurled a provocation at the Lov Korea Party.
“You talk way too much, don’t you? I’m not sure you’re even fit to be sparring partners.”
Upon hearing this, Mincheol Han stepped forward first, saying he would take the challenge, but Dohyun and all three others looked at Mincheol Han with confused expressions.
And seeing that reaction, once all members of the Lov Korea Party looked at the Dohyun Party, Dohyun spoke up directly.
“Why are you coming out alone?”
“…?”
Mincheol Han looked at Dohyun as if he didn’t understand, and this time, it was Hanalin, not Dohyun, who spoke to them.
“Wasn’t this supposed to be a party-versus-party sparring match? If it were a one-on-one match, we would have done it among ourselves…. Are we misunderstanding something?”
Her tone was far more polite and composed than Dohyun’s, but it carried Hanalin’s characteristic cold, icy edge, and the Lov Korea Party felt their pride completely deflate upon hearing those words.
They were growing at a rate that placed them among the top C-rank parties, so their pride was bound to be crushed even more.
All of them felt it, and as Mincheol Han stepped forward, the entire Lov Korea Party moved with Elliot at the lead.
And Elliot, standing at the very front, spoke.
“You know this isn’t the time to have fun, right?”
“…Yeah.”
“…You’re right.”
“…Heh heh heh.”
“…These reckless newcomers are all the same.”
They all spoke with smiles on their faces, but these were far from genuine—their expressions were rigid and strained, making it abundantly clear to anyone watching that they were thoroughly irritated.
Just as they were all looking down on us, Elliot alone sensed something extraordinary in Dohyun’s gaze fixed upon him, and he drew his sword with maximum intensity.
As the Lov Korea Party appeared to complete their preparations, the Dohyun Party began theirs as well.
Dohyun was the first to draw his spear, Jiyuchan unsheathed his sword, and Hanalin summoned her staff.
Meanwhile, the Lov Korea Party had Elliot draw his sword, Jisoo Kim pull out a war hammer and shield, Yeonsu Lee summon her staff, and Jahyeon Gu grasp his staff as well. Finally, Mincheol Han gripped dual daggers in both hands, and as soon as all preparations were complete, Jisoo Kim charged forward first.
Despite his delicate appearance, Jiyuchan rushed forward to meet Jisoo Kim, who wielded the heavy war hammer and shield.
Faced with Jiyuchan’s swift and nimble movements, Jisoo Kim raised his shield to brace for impact, and just as they were about to collide, something flew toward them from the Dohyun Party’s side.
Whiiiiiing————!!
Spinning furiously with a metallic shriek, the projectile hurtled toward Jisoo Kim’s shield, but the sound arrived too late for him to respond in time.
Claaaang———
As the metal vibrated sharply, Jisoo Kim’s shield shot upward. Feeling the sharp sting in his wrist from the heavy impact, Jisoo Kim saw Jiyuchan pressing through the opening.
It was an excellent combination, but coordinated attacks were hardly exclusive to the Dohyun Party.
As his shield rose, Jisoo Kim immediately prepared his war hammer, but because it was heavier than Jiyuchan’s sword, Jiyuchan swung his blade toward Jisoo Kim with slightly greater speed.
However.
Cliiing——
Elliot’s sword, bursting forth from behind Jisoo Kim, intercepted the beautiful golden flash of Jiyuchan’s white blade.
Both had swung their swords in what amounted to mere feints, executing light slashes with minimal force, yet Jiyuchan and Elliot simultaneously felt a substantial impact and recognized each other as formidable swordsmen.
This time, a dark shadow materialized above where Jiyuchan stood. It was the colossal war hammer that Jisoo Kim had hoisted, and it plummeted down like a hawk diving from the sky in an instant.
Just as the tremendous impact was about to engulf Jiyuchan, a grayish-white light flashed brilliantly, hurtling toward Jisoo Kim’s war hammer.
Claaaang————!
The massive metal rang out once more, sending metallic reverberations throughout the area, and Jisoo Kim’s expression crumbled in that instant.
That war hammer had been swung with all his might, yet watching Dohyun suddenly appear before him and deflect it with merely a single spear, his eyes trembled in disbelief.
With his shield deflected and his war hammer repelled, the only thing protecting Jisoo Kim’s body was his armor. In that moment, Dohyun stored his spear in a bracelet and instantly drew a long sword.
Faced with this sudden weapon change, Yeonsu Lee, the mage waiting in the rear, was about to use magic to intercept when Hanalin snapped her fingers.
Snap——
Yeonsu Lee’s unfolded magic circle flickered momentarily before shattering into fragments, scattering mana shards in all directions.
Seeing this, Yeonsu Lee looked at Hanalin in disbelief, while Hanalin simply spread her fingers again without concern. Mana leaked forth, and magic manifested without even forming a magic circle.
This was different from magic that took form through concentrated will.
The mana itself had become magic, and as the shaped magic unfolded, Yeonsu Lee’s pupils trembled violently upon witnessing it.
She hastily deployed a magic circle to block it, but it was too late compared to Hanalin’s magic.
Boom-boom-boom————!!
While Yeonsu Lee’s magic might have been superior in raw power, it could not compete with Hanalin’s in speed and volume.
“…I’ll help!”
As Yeonsu Lee, the mage, became overwhelmed, Jahyeon Gu, the healer, began assisting her, while Hanalin focused entirely on pressuring both of them with magic.
With all ranged support now tied down, Mincheol Han and Elliot burst forward toward the defenseless Jisoo Kim.
Elliot, who had been forced back by Jiyuchan, was able to return quickly, and Mincheol Han, the rogue, also rushed toward Dohyun, who was preparing to swing his sword.
Jiyuchan, wielding his sword, shot forward to meet Mincheol Han as he charged. Seeing Jiyuchan suddenly appear, Mincheol Han clicked his tongue and crossed his dual daggers to block Jiyuchan’s blade.
Cliiing——
As the metallic sound tore through the air, Mincheol Han and Jiyuchan separated, leaving only Elliot, Jisoo Kim, and Dohyun facing each other.
A pale gray blade energy infused with sharp killing intent flew toward Jisoo Kim, and Elliot drew up his own blade energy to block Dohyun’s strike.
Clang!!!
With a fierce metallic ring, Dohyun continued without pause, swinging his sword faster and faster, while Elliot met each strike with cold, emotionless precision.
The moment Elliot engaged Dohyun, Jisoo Kim—whose hand had shot upward from the recoil—recovered both his shield and mace, then lunged forward with his shield raised. But Dohyun used his bracelet to summon back his sword and conjured two short blades instead.
Gripping both daggers shortened his reach, and for an instant Elliot flinched at the sudden shift. In that moment, Dohyun hurled one of the daggers at him.
Normally he would have deflected such a projectile without hesitation, but Elliot sensed an extraordinary aura emanating from the blade and quickly twisted his body in midair. As the dagger struck, the wall behind him erupted in a crater, and a chill ran down his spine.
Dohyun, watching this with slight regret, adjusted his grip on the remaining dagger. As Jisoo Kim rushed toward him, Dohyun flowed gracefully past the shield charge and tried to drive the blade through the gap between the armor plates that briefly opened.
But Jisoo Kim sensed the danger and barely managed to raise his mace to block the dagger.
Clang!!!
Having barely blocked the dagger, Jisoo Kim turned to face Dohyun, who had retreated, and tried to raise his shield first. But in that instant, an elongated pale gray spear blade gleamed as it flew in, and in the gap created by his turning motion, it knocked his shield away with speed.
Boom——!
As the shield was driven back and Jisoo Kim’s stance wavered, Dohyun recovered the spear and summoned a long sword, feinting a slash. Elliot rushed in like lightning to block, but unfortunately it was a trick.
The swung sword had already shortened into a dagger, which Dohyun drove into the gap between the armor plates of Jisoo Kim’s abdomen as his shield was pushed back.
Squelch——!
Since it was a real blade rather than a training dagger, Jisoo Kim grimaced in considerable pain, yet he released his mace and tried to grab Dohyun’s hand instead.
He had released his weapon to sacrifice the flesh and seize the bone, but Dohyun merely grinned with satisfaction and spoke.
“You can’t drop your weapon. Not unless you have as many as I do.”
With those words, Dohyun released the dagger and summoned a spear with his bracelet, launching the point directly at Jisoo Kim.
Whoosh——!!
A piercing sound erupted as Jisoo Kim, who had been serving as the thick shield for Lov Korea Party, was sent flying and crashed into the wall.
Boom————!!!
As Jisoo Kim slammed into the wall with tremendous force, the eyes of all Lov Korea Party members shifted slightly.
The shock that bloomed in their eyes—which had been burning with indignation moments before, convinced this was righteous instruction—made Dohyun smirk.
‘This is more fun than I expected.’
