Chapter 247
247: Davy Jones (3)
The two crescents that seemed poised to completely sever Davy Jones’ neck spun violently and lodged against his back instead.
The twin crescents, which should have targeted his neck, ultimately embedded themselves in his back rather than finding their mark.
Yet.
Sceeeeeee——
Shhwaaaaaack———!!!
「Ugh.」
Davy Jones, his back carved deeply by the crescent blades spinning like a rotary saw, spoke with an expression of utter bewilderment.
「How are you even——!!!」
His words were incomprehensible, but I paid them no mind and retreated, and the moment Davy Jones lunged after me with bloodshot eyes, the Plague Lord, Jiyuchan, Ines, and Jerome stepped forward, wielding their blades and chain censers against him.
The Plague Lord’s chain censer swung first, coiling around Davy Jones’ body.
Claaaang——
The sound of chains rang out, ensnaring Davy Jones, but.
Crack, creak.
The chains groaned as if about to snap, and just as they seemed ready to break, Jiyuchan’s Platinum Force moved.
It was a technique I had never attempted before, yet I drew upon every ounce of concentration to execute it.
Golden Blade
Superior Martial Technique
Sixth Form
Platinum Chain Severance
The Platinum Force transformed into chains, coiling around Davy Jones’ body.
As Davy Jones’ movements ceased, bound by chains that would not break no matter how much force he exerted, Ines and Jerome stepped forward next.
Both of them condensed their blade force to such intensity that executing techniques became difficult, creating blade force like Jiyuchan and wielding it against Davy Jones.
Screeeeee———!!!
Ines’ and Jerome’s blades, swung like scissors from both directions, crossed as they aimed for Davy Jones’ neck, but.
‘So hard… incredibly hard!’
‘What in the——!’
His neck’s skin was so resilient and unyielding that it defied belief for living flesh, and though their blade force carved deep lacerations, Davy Jones’ neck remained intact.
Startled by how impossibly hardened Davy Jones’ body had become, Ines and Jerome showed a momentary opening, and Jiyuchan shouted.
“Dodge!!!”
I cried out urgently, but it was already too late to evade.
Davy Jones snapped both the Platinum chains and the iron chains in one motion, then whipped his two arms like whips toward Ines and Jerome.
As his whip-like tentacle arms lashed at them, the sound arrived belatedly.
Whoosh! Shhwang!!!
Thuuuuuang——!!!
By the time the sound of collision with something solid echoed, Ines and Jerome had already been sent flying faster than sound itself, crashing into the mountainside that had been scraped away where Davy Jones had collided.
They had both raised their blades to defend before the attack struck.
Screech, clang!
Screeeech.
Jerome’s sword, raised to block, shattered into fragments, and Ines’ pulse blade likewise dissipated into the void as plasma discharged around it.
Only then, as Baeryujin arrived belatedly, did he bite his lip and unleash a technique.
Eternal Flame Extinguishing Technique
Seventh Form
World-Ending Inferno
Twilight flames that would incinerate the world surged forth, and Baeryujin, wreathed in those blazes, hurled a punch toward Davy Jones.
Then.
Eternal Flame Extinguishing Technique
Ninth Form
Total Annihilation Responsive Fire
The world-ending flames answered Baeryujin, unleashing a destruction fire meant solely for Davy Jones.
Whoooosh!!
Yet even as Davy Jones took the blow, he spoke with contempt.
「Do you truly believe I would fall to flames so lukewarm compared to your disciple’s?」
Unlike before, with his rationality fully restored, his voice made Baeryujin feel a chill run down his spine despite the protective flames enveloping his body.
Could Davy Jones truly not be captured? As doubt flickered across Baeryujin’s eyes, a sharp young voice called out from behind.
“Master Baek! This time, really hold him down!!!”
At those words, Baeryujin snapped to attention. And the moment he did, he understood.
“Sound attack!?”
「Your instincts remain sharp, youngster.」
Davy Jones spoke thus, infusing his voice once more with dark energy.
But this time, having drawn energy to protect his ears, Baeryujin managed to resist. The instant he felt it, he cried out.
“He’s launching a mental attack! It’s a form of sound technique! Everyone, defend yourselves!”
At Baeryujin’s warning, everyone startled and braced themselves, and Dohyun gave Baeryujin a thumbs up upon witnessing his awareness.
And seeing that, both Davy Jones and Baeryujin thought simultaneously.
‘He detected it first?’
「’Impossible.’」
The attack Davy Jones had just employed was a technique bordering on linguistic curse—so covert that even its victim could scarcely perceive it.
To use an analogy, it was like supernatural gaslighting; a technique that perfectly manipulated the psyche to bend it to his will. He had subtly used it on Baeryujin, yet Dohyun from afar had detected it and awakened Baeryujin’s mind? It was unbelievable, yet the circumstances made it undeniably true.
Davy Jones muttered to himself.
「Indeed, he proves himself worthy—one who touched the pinnacle of the Eternal Flame Extinguishing Technique before you.」
Davy Jones attempted once more to disturb Baeryujin’s mind with another linguistic curse, but Baeryujin instead laughed boldly and shouted.
“Kahahaha!!! Senior, if you experienced it yourself, you’d understand just how monstrous he is.”
At Baeryujin’s response, Davy Jones could only be astonished. The linguistic curse he had just employed, though less subtle, was maximized to provoke Baeryujin’s inferiority complex—yet it had no effect whatsoever.
Rather, Baeryujin’s movements became even more refined, blocking all of Davy Jones’ attacks, and as Dohyun, the Ruin’s Dragon Solvent, the Plague Lord, and Ines and Jerome were sent flying, Jiyuchan, who barely maintained his position, stepped forward to attack.
While Baeryujin handled all defense and his wounds accumulated, he endured well, and as he defended, the four of them took turns attacking Davy Jones.
And soon, once the tanks’ stability was fully established, healing spells rained down on Baeryujin, and Davy Jones’ brow furrowed.
At this rate, it would be he who was pushed back. Davy Jones resolved to employ a hidden technique without hesitation.
And ignoring those attacking from the rear, Davy Jones fixed his gaze on Baeryujin.
「Youngster, you are the most irritating of all.」
As Davy Jones ceased his whip-like assault and retreated a step, Baeryujin felt a warning bell toll in his mind and summoned his protective aura.
The Eternal Flame Extinguishing Technique’s protective aura rose forth.
The protective aura of the Eternal Flame Extinguishing Technique, bearing the will to incinerate all that flew toward its master, surged upward—but in that instant, something pierced through Baeryujin’s aura and hurtled toward him. Dohyun swiftly kicked him aside.
Kwaaang——!!
Pshhht!
As Dohyun’s kick sent Baeryujin sprawling, whatever had been aimed at his heart lodged itself in his shoulder instead, and ignoring his protective aura entirely, a fist-sized hole tore through his right chest.
“Cough…”
His lung was pierced, and blood spilled from his mouth. Had Dohyun not intervened, his heart would have been skewered and he would have died. Baeryujin realized this as he looked down at his chest, finally able to discern what had struck him.
“…Ink?”
At those words, Davy Jones regarded Baeryujin with amusement and spoke.
「Now there is no one left who can stop me with that.」
With that, Davy Jones brought his hands together again, and in that instant, Analysis in Dohyun’s eyes screamed a warning. He quickly evaded, and the projectile grazed past his face.
Fwishhh!
Drip, drip, drip.
As hot blood trickled down his cheek, Dohyun felt his mind turn cold in response.
“Insane.”
The moment Dohyun realized Davy Jones was compressing his ink and firing it at high velocity with both hands clasped together, he couldn’t help but be astounded.
The ink launched at such speed was an overwhelmingly powerful attack in itself, and it was so fast and forceful that it pierced through protective auras as if they didn’t exist.
Dohyun’s brow furrowed as he witnessed this.
He wondered if this could even be blocked.
-Dohyun, big brother.
Hanalin’s telepathy reached him from behind. Had Davy Jones been rational, he might have sensed that faint mana, but elated from having just retired Baeryujin, he began rampaging wildly.
Ink projectiles launched toward Dohyun once more.
Piiiiing———!!
Fwish! Fwish! Fwish!
As three streams of ink hurtled toward him simultaneously, Dohyun barely evaded them using Analysis, and hearing Hanalin’s words, he nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Davy Jones, still unaware, remained focused solely on attacking Dohyun.
Even as Ruin’s Dragon Solvent, the Plague Lord, and Jiyuchan rushed at him, he dismissed them as an annoyance, flinging ink while pursuing the three, and continued sniping at Dohyun from a distance.
And as Vera and Hezway, their mana recovered, assisted by hurling ether shells and spears of light to restrain Davy Jones—
Davy Jones fixated obsessively on Dohyun alone, while Dohyun merely evaded his attacks.
「Try dodging this as well! With that vaunted Reaper’s power!!!」
As if some trigger had been pulled, Dohyun evaded every ink projectile Davy Jones fired at him.
It was a precarious situation, yet Dohyun smiled confidently nonetheless.
With even Baeryujin retired, there was truly no tank left in this place to restrain Davy Jones.
Fighting him one-on-one would be certain defeat.
Yet this creature, relying solely on ink and not using his body, pursued Dohyun as he weaved and dodged—which was actually favorable.
Of course, attacks from Ruin’s Dragon Solvent and the Plague Lord did strike, but only then did Davy Jones regain focus, spraying ink into midair and hardening it to block those assaults.
It was rather irritating, but he ignored all other attacks and fixated solely on Dohyun.
And watching Davy Jones, Dohyun thought to himself.
‘Does he have some connection with the Reaper?’
It made sense that Dohyun would think that way. After all, Davy Jones was visibly losing his rationality the moment he used the Grim Reaper’s relic.
Dohyun continued to evade the attacks while waiting for Hanalin.
Then.
“Done!”
As Hanalin cried out, Dohyun swiftly moved his body and slipped away from his position.
And then.
Celestial Star Orbit Formula
First Incantation
Interstellar Ignition
A star was born in that space.
