Chapter 292
292: Frenzied Battle Fiend Hasty (1)
* * *
Crash——!
Hasty collided with the ground, his heads shaking from the impact, yet he paid it no mind as his thoughts consumed him.
The reason for his preoccupation was that he couldn’t fathom how Dohyun had escaped. He’d distinctly felt the sensation of grabbing and hurling Dohyun, and a Crater had indeed formed. But the moment that Crater appeared, Dohyun materialized behind him—a development that defied belief.
Yet Hasty’s heads didn’t dwell on it further.
Whatever technique it was, that creature possessed exceptional physical prowess and equally formidable magic.
With only that much recognition, Hasty burst forth from the ground where he’d been driven.
As Hasty sprang up, Dohyun couldn’t help but smirk at the sight of him—not a single wound marring his body.
‘So being driven into the ground doesn’t leave a scratch.’
In other words, even that seemingly solid ground was soft compared to his skin.
With such exceptional durability and formidable combat instincts, where could I find a better opponent? I’d been wanting to test my magic anyway—this works perfectly.
With that thought, Dohyun unleashed his magic.
A bead of light materialized. At this point alone, it was merely a basic Light spell.
But Dohyun infused that light with his Inner Mindscape.
“Kahahaha!” “Excellent!”
“You know how to fight!”
At that, Hasty’s exclamations burst forth, and seeing the Light spell directed at him, as if he’d already abandoned the notion of dodging, he poured forth his own magical power and transformed it into an aura to meet it.
Dohyun smirked at this desperate attempt at defense.
Admiring Hasty’s indomitable spirit that never yielded in a clash of pure force, Dohyun accepted the confrontation.
“Very well, let’s see what you’ve got.”
As Dohyun spoke, the Inner Mindscape he’d imbued into the light was nothing extraordinary.
Rather than imposing the mysterious and novel laws of a new world from his Inner Mindscape, he simply granted the light a virtual mass that existed within his Inner Mindscape.
He hadn’t granted it much mass.
Or more precisely, the magic currently permitted to Dohyun wasn’t at that level yet.
Thus, the virtual mass granted was a mere 0.1 grams.
Though the virtual mass was lighter than a grain of sand, the instant it was imparted to the light, Hasty’s expression hardened.
Though the Asura’s fighting spirit burned to clash force against force, they were no foolish, senseless suicide seekers, so his expression changed the moment he perceived that light.
The instant he recognized this wasn’t mere magic, he cried out.
“Blood, surge forth!”
“Fighting spirit, ignite!”
“Frenzy, awaken!”
The moment Hasty’s three mouths roared simultaneously, the magical power and aura pouring from him began to transform in an instant.
Blood began coursing rapidly through Hasty’s body, which had possessed a pale blue complexion as an Asura, and his skin gradually shifted from blue to crimson, while the magical power erupting from him transformed into a rough and crude fighting spirit.
Finally.
“Kraaaaaaah!”
“Krwaaaaaaah!!”
“Kahahahahaha!!!”
Wild laughter erupted as his pupils seemed to spread across his entire eyes, all three pairs of eyes turning pitch black as they fixed upon Dohyun.
Then, as if challenging him to try, Hasty surrounded himself with roiling Qi, his already reddened skin staining deeper crimson with that violent energy, wrapping himself in an aura far thicker and more compressed than mere strength—a raw, savage force that turned his gaze toward the light Dohyun had created.
“Will I die!”
“Will you die!”
“Come at me!”
Watching Hasty speak like a complete madman, Dohyun’s expression hardened slightly as if burdened, but he soon nodded as if in understanding.
“If that’s what you wish.”
With those words, Dohyun fired light imbued with virtual mass drawn from his Inner Mindscape toward Hasty.
The light, now slightly heavier from the virtual mass granted to it, moved fractionally slower than ordinary light, yet that difference was imperceptible to anyone.
The light imbued with virtual mass shot forth toward Hasty, and though Hasty hadn’t even perceived the light’s movement, the instant Dohyun spoke, he thrust all six of his arms forward with all his might, opening six fists toward the light.
Crude, unrefined fists.
Those versed in martial arts might have deemed such fists inefficient, yet Dohyun perceived something else within them—true martial form.
Utterly devoid of technique or artifice, crude beyond compare, yet precisely because of that simplicity, it was pure martial essence.
Those fists extended solely for combat were infinitely close to true martial form, and the moment Hasty’s martial essence met Dohyun’s light—
“Ggguuugh!!!”
“Ggghhhk!!!”
“Gggaaah!!!”
As that light, where a single grain of sand weighed heavier than an entire Mountain, pressed against him, Hasty’s six eyes bulged wide as all his arms trembled violently, straining to hold firm.
The light touching his fists drove Hasty backward relentlessly, carving out what seemed like a vast Canyon, yet Hasty continued to resist.
All six fists were being crushed and pulped, their bones grinding to dust, yet still he held.
And so, with that devastating force contained within the light, he finally—
“Khhaaaagh!!!”
“Uryaaaagh!!!”
“Fuaaaagh!!!”
With grotesque roars, he twisted all six fists simultaneously, and the light spiraled with that rotation, ricocheting past Hasty and flying toward a rather massive Mountain beside the Canyon they’d carved, detonating in a tremendous explosion.
———————!!!
A sound so catastrophically immense that living beings couldn’t even perceive it thundered forth, and the Mountain struck directly simply ceased to exist, as if it had never been there at all.
Witnessing Hasty deflect such devastating light with merely six arms wreathed in Qi, Dohyun could only marvel.
He’d wondered just how formidable a warrior race could be, and now he understood—this was the true power of the Asura Clan.
Hasty, consumed by frenzy, laughed heartily and bellowed.
“Khhahahaha!!!”
“I deflected it!!!”
“Now it’s my turn!!!”
With that cry, Hasty charged at Dohyun like a projectile, arriving before his laughter and words had even finished.
That magic, where a single grain of sand weighed heavier than a massive Mountain, wasn’t the sort Hasty could employ recklessly.
But if it weren’t for that, he needed to close the distance, and he couldn’t use it indiscriminately. Even consumed by frenzy, the combat instincts carved into his very nature grew sharper still.
Thus, Hasty’s six crushed fists, upon reaching Dohyun, writhed and regenerated in an instant, raining down upon him like a gentle drizzle.
Whoooosh—crack crack crack———!!!
Tearing through the air and erupting with sonic booms, those six fists wreathed in Qi descended upon Dohyun in rapid succession like a barrage, yet Dohyun immediately deployed his magic.
Magic circles that he wouldn’t normally use unfurled, appearing precisely at the impact points of the descending six fists, shielding Dohyun’s body.
Yet even through that protective barrier, Dohyun’s body was gradually sinking into the ground beneath him.
I blocked six fists, but the impact reverberated through my shield, and with each downward strike from Hasty, I sank deeper into the ground as if being buried alive, my protective barrier descending with me.
‘It’s still difficult to dissipate the impact entirely through magic.’
Seeing this, Hasty laughed heartily at me trapped beneath the earth and shouted.
“You’re quite resilient!”
“Then how about this!”
“Let’s see you block this!”
Hasty’s three chattering mouths cried out as three of his right arms twisted together like a spiral, merging into one massive fist before driving it down toward my barrier.
Recognizing that crude, powerful fist descending again, I unleashed magic once more.
Thus, a sphere of light materialized.
Normally, this would create hesitation and an opening, but such tactical tricks held no sway over Hasty.
Whether the sphere of light appeared or not, he would drive his fist down regardless—even if he perished unable to withstand that radiance, so be it.
His current priority was executing this attack!
A thought befitting the Asura Clan flowed through him, and the moment my tactical feint failed, I unleashed the light toward Hasty, simultaneously obscuring both distance and vision in an instant.
Flash——!
Boom——————!!!
Crash——————————!!!
As the light pushed Hasty back, he recognized the recoil and drove his fist forward simultaneously, and with the brilliant radiance, a surge of energy erupted, detonating deep within the ground.
The explosion carried heat and impact like a bomb, causing the surrounding air to rush inward and outward rapidly, creating a mushroom-shaped formation from the resulting pressure wave.
The tremendous impact split the nearby mountain range as if cleaving it asunder, and Hasty rebounded backward, escaping the blast and mushroom cloud. As he observed carefully, he immediately sensed that familiar sensation again and rapidly threw a punch behind him, feeling resistance.
Clang——————!!!
With the sound of striking massive metal, Hasty turned around belatedly only to blink in surprise—I, who should have been trapped within that mushroom cloud, now stood behind him.
Again.
It was identical to when he first grabbed me and hurled me away, and in that moment, Hasty understood.
Initially, I had wrapped myself in a barrier, and while I descended with that barrier intact, I had performed a spatial displacement—leaving the barrier behind while slipping out myself.
In that instant, as the air behind him compressed slightly, Hasty could confirm it with certainty.
Hasty was aware that spatial displacement was something like an exclusive privilege granted only to A-Grade Hunters, but now was not the time to dwell on such matters.
Yet I spoke to Hasty as I observed him.
“You’re smarter than you appear.”
Since I had blocked Hasty’s fist, he had to launch another attack.
Therefore, Hasty paid no heed to my words.
The mere fact that Hasty’s constantly chattering mouths fell silent spoke volumes about his focus in this battle.
Hasty threw a punch toward me, and I responded with magic, experimenting with a new spell against him.
Ultimately, I interpreted magic as a method of expressing my inner mindscape upon the world, and through this understanding, I created a new spell.
If Grand Magic Celestial Orbit Formula manipulates celestial bodies and weaves magic through them, I similarly borrowed from that concept to forge a new magic.
During this very battle.
As mana converged, I drew upon the manifestations of my inner mindscape concentrated within my body.
First, Usurpation—greedily seizing everything that belongs to others.
Then Fusion—voraciously consuming all that mana and unifying it into one.
Finally, Calamity—converging what I had created into destruction itself, annihilating all things.
As all of this concentrated in a single point, a black dot materialized in my hand.
When Hasty combined those three techniques together, he realized something had gone terribly wrong.
That eerie black dot voraciously devoured mana, gathered it together, merged it, and then thoroughly annihilated it.
The surging blood rapidly cooled.
The fighting spirit flowing through his blood was sucked away as well.
With his blood turned cold and his fighting spirit vanished, the frenzy too began to dissipate.
Watching that black dot absorb all of his opponent’s mana, Dohyun smiled faintly and murmured to himself.
“This works.”
At Dohyun’s words, Hasty’s frenzy subsided and his blue skin returned to normal, but with all his mana gone, his expression became far paler than usual as he let out a hollow laugh.
“Kha ha ha.”
“Impressive.”
“But!”
Yet Hasty refused to yield.
His mana was gone, his fighting spirit vanished? Every last trace of mana drained from his body?
What good was any of that?
He still possessed this sturdy body, didn’t he?
Hasty burned with such resolve and charged at Dohyun.
And that judgment of Hasty’s proved correct.
‘He’s still willing to fight like this.’
Dohyun murmured this to himself with a wry smile.
He had already used two major techniques.
Containing imaginary mass alone consumed enormous amounts of mana, and lacking sufficient mana, he had even burned his inner energy to successfully create that mana black hole just now, but like Hasty, he had lost most of his mana and inner energy.
In the end, only his body remained—the same was true for Dohyun.
When only meager mana remained, there was but one method he could employ.
And so, as if finding it amusing and having no choice, Dohyun grasped his twin short blades and murmured.
“Then there’s no help for it.”
Within Dohyun’s inner mindscape, he activated Sashin, the most cost-effective skill available.
Hasty’s formidable physique was difficult for Dohyun to handle without using mana at all.
And so he selected a skill that could employ 『Impact』, and that was precisely Sashin.
But then.
[Sashin is delighted.]
[Sashin is very delighted.]
[Sashin is deeply moved.]
[Sashin pledges his loyalty.]
Such messages appeared far too loudly before Dohyun, and he furrowed his brow in thought.
‘I really don’t want to use this again.’
At that thought, the messages immediately vanished, and Dohyun watched Hasty charging toward him, grasped his twin short blades, and smiled.
Then let’s see.
“You’ve enjoyed the magic show—now let me demonstrate martial arts.”
“Kha ha ha ha!!!”
“Excellent!!!”
“I’m coming too!!!”
Hasty bellowed with exuberance and charged at me, his six arms moving with frenzied purpose despite lacking mana.
I swung my twin daggers toward his incoming fists.
Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang——!!!
A tempest of brilliant sparks erupted as the shockwaves from our collision radiated outward, obliterating everything in their path and carving razor-sharp wounds through the air.
