Episode 50

 

Chapter 50: Pride of the Craftsman Race (5)

 

Kwaaaaaa——

 

With a sound like an exploding shell, the ground overturned and massive clouds of dust billowed up.

 

And through the billowing clouds of dust, a single dwarf shot forward like a cannonball, wielding an axe larger than his own body that he had drawn from who knows where, swinging it toward Dohyun as he charged.

 

The axe, swung with added momentum from Talgrin’s charging speed, showed terrifying destructive power as it cut through the air, the mana-infused blade glowing red-hot as it swung down with enough force to split Dohyun in half.

 

Whiiiiik———

 

The axe swung with scorching heat was like an attack in itself just from its thermal energy, causing everything it touched to burst into flames as if spontaneously combusting, making the surrounding trees lose all moisture and catch fire, while the heat transformed into sharp killing intent that sought to cleave Dohyun’s body along with the axe.

 

However, Dohyun looked at the axe and muttered quietly.

 

“It is quite strong.”

 

Since blocking it with a weapon would likely result in his weapon being split due to its tremendous power, Dohyun kicked off the ground and easily leaped up, riding the air currents created by the swirling heat, then used telekinetic magic to create a foothold in midair and escaped from there.

 

The storm of heat shot forward with the axe, turning the entire surrounding area into a sea of flames.

 

Somehow feeling that the surroundings were burning even more than when he had summoned Agni, Dohyun whistled as he observed the scene.

 

“Whew.”

 

Definitely incredible.

 

He had wondered what the nickname “Lava Combatant” meant, but seeing it now, it was mana infused with heat.

 

So mana could contain attributes like that depending on one’s characteristics.

 

It wasn’t a perfect mastery and use of mental imagery, but rather attributes that were naturally contained, so the nature of this mana wasn’t immediately threatening to Dohyun.

 

Of course, it was troublesome to deal with, but what had Dohyun gained from observing Talgrin yesterday?

 

Analysis really is godlike.

 

Thinking this, Dohyun looked toward Talgrin, who had been carried forward by inertia, and saw a short, dark shadow rippling through the burning forest before Talgrin slowly walked out of the flames.

 

Crack, crackle.

 

Dohyun watched with interest as Talgrin emerged, trampling on trees that were burning just short of becoming charcoal, and Talgrin likewise looked at Dohyun as if finding him peculiar.

 

“Not bad for an inferior race.”

 

“Hmm, rather disappointing for a dwarf?”

 

Though Dohyun couldn’t help but get in a word, Talgrin didn’t respond to the provocation as before and instead carefully observed Dohyun.

 

While maintaining the burning heat that showed he wanted to tear Dohyun apart immediately, he cooled his head and glared at Dohyun.

 

Though Talgrin didn’t say more, he was seriously surprised.

 

At the fact that a human had actually dodged his attack.

 

An ordinary dwarf might have let their guard down, thinking it was just a human. Like the dwarfs who were facing Hanalin and Jiyuchan.

 

However, Talgrin was one of the capable dwarfs.

 

‘Don’t think of them as an inferior race.’

 

Talent can bloom in anyone.

 

That’s why superior races sometimes get hunted by inferior races, isn’t it? Even though humans had always been hunted and driven to extinction, Talgrin didn’t let his guard down.

 

He gripped his heat-infused mana axe again and corrected his stance.

 

He had focused on speed earlier to end it in one blow, but Talgrin’s original combat style wasn’t really speed-focused combat, so instead he added more heat mana to his heavy axe.

 

Crack——!

 

Kuuuuung——!!

 

As if something massive had trampled it, the ground around Talgrin’s feet was crushed and dented, and seeing this, Dohyun abandoned the leisurely attitude he had shown until now.

 

At the same time, Analysis was telling him.

 

Seeing the message written in a slightly orange color, Dohyun also corrected his stance without letting his guard down.

 

A red message would mean an impossible opponent to face, while a yellow message meant a fairly formidable opponent.

 

And orange was between red and yellow. It meant not impossible but quite a difficult opponent, so Dohyun thought to himself.

 

‘I thought he’d be more careless.’

 

Definitely a strong warrior.

 

After quickly assessing Dohyun’s capabilities, he had taken a proper stance to face him seriously. Dohyun also took his stance while watching such a Talgrin, and Talgrin moved first.

 

It wasn’t the same explosive movement as before, but a reasonably fast movement.

 

But Dohyun wasn’t fooled.

 

Kagagagaga——

 

Seeing furrows being carved in the ground along Talgrin’s movement trajectory, Talgrin’s current weight must be beyond imagination. If he blocked or got hit by that, he’d be split in half.

 

Keeping this in mind, Dohyun moved swiftly with Dark King’s Swiftness at the forefront, confusing Talgrin’s eyes.

 

His extremely efficient movements had not even a trace of waste. As he moved around Talgrin’s vicinity, perhaps because he moved at such a consistent and uniform speed?

 

Countless afterimages of Dohyun’s form appeared.

 

Naturally, these weren’t afterimages created by moving fast with just Dohyun’s characteristic movements.

 

Dohyun couldn’t yet produce such fast speeds.

 

But Dohyun had magic.

 

He used illusion magic to enhance the afterimages and deceive Talgrin’s eyes.

 

It was definitely effective as Talgrin stopped dead in his tracks.

 

Dohyun tried to attack Talgrin in that opening. At that moment, Talgrin shouted.

 

“If you don’t know which is real!”

 

Shouting this, he gripped the end of the axe handle, leaped up in place, spun around once in midair, and swung his heat-infused axe toward the ground like a massive fireball.

 

Then.

 

Kwagagagaga———

 

As if he had struck the earth’s very veins, the heat penetrated deep into the ground, causing the earth to crack and red lava to surge upward.

 

Rumble!

 

Whoooooosh———!!!

 

Dohyun was momentarily startled by the sight that looked like lava erupting from a volcanic crater, but it wasn’t actual lava.

 

The fragments of the ground, heated by the axe’s heat, had turned red-hot and looked like lava.

 

However, whether it was lava or not, the heat contained within was real, so the stone fragments that shot up carrying the heat were burning and melting everything around them.

 

The hot air heated the atmosphere, causing rapid convection that erased all the illusions. Despite having heat resistance against the scorching heat, Dohyun’s figure was revealed as he squinted and blocked the heat.

 

Seeing this, Talgrin thought it was his chance and moved to swing his axe, while Dohyun grimaced fiercely and quickly swung his sword.

 

Since there was no preparatory motion, the heat and weight contained in Talgrin’s axe were light, but even that was deadly.

 

However, at that moment, Dohyun filled his sword with so much mana that it made even the air ripple, using mana manipulation techniques as he swung his sword.

 

Dohyun’s movements, using the Sword King’s Intuition and moving with the Dark King’s Swiftness, swung his sword toward the optimal path, and when it clashed with the axe.

 

Claaaaaang———!!

 

A sharp metallic sound rang out fiercely as both Talgrin and Dohyun were pushed back simultaneously.

 

However, perhaps due to insufficient strength, the distance Dohyun was pushed back was twice as long as Talgrin’s. But Dohyun rushed toward Talgrin again, and Talgrin also swung his heat-infused axe toward Dohyun.

 

Though he could feel the scorching heat, Dohyun barely managed to dodge it and struck with his sword, while Talgrin skillfully blocked all of Dohyun’s sword strikes with his axe handle.

 

The sparks flying through the air gradually increased. Dohyun dodged all of Talgrin’s attacks, and though Talgrin was slow, he was blocking all of Dohyun’s attacks.

 

As this fierce exchange continued.

 

Dohyun closed the distance, and the moment the gap between him and Talgrin narrowed to a span, he opened his mouth.

 

Talgrin, seeing Dohyun open his mouth, seemed to sense something ominous and tried to push Dohyun away with his axe using powerful force, but Dohyun was slightly faster.

 

He used a sonic roar utilizing ultrasonic waves toward Talgrin.

 

The sound waves spread out and struck Talgrin’s head precisely, and Talgrin couldn’t help but be swept up in the illusion that the world was spinning around him.

 

Whiiiiiii———

 

Pop———

 

Though Talgrin couldn’t hear it, he felt something bursting out, and he could feel both ears leaking hot liquid.

 

Dohyun’s sonic roar had just burst both his eardrums and severely shaken his brain, causing significant damage.

 

Even so, Talgrin gripped his single axe and charged at Dohyun.

 

Seeing Talgrin charging without caring about his injuries, Dohyun couldn’t help but click his tongue.

 

“Tough guy.”

 

“For an inferior race, you have many tricks!!!”

 

Unable to hear well, Talgrin shouted even louder than before toward Dohyun who was saying something.

 

Looking at him, Dohyun honestly thought he was impressive.

 

Even though he couldn’t hear, even though his brain was shaken and his sense of balance wasn’t intact, Talgrin charging straight forward was certainly an excellent warrior.

 

However, seeing him charge like that while steeped in greed and having thrown away his pride, Dohyun shook his head as if it was pitiful.

 

And as they exchanged attacks and defenses while Dohyun dodged Talgrin’s attacks, Talgrin felt a strange sensation. He felt wind rotating as if a typhoon was swirling, and somehow a shadow that blocked the sky.

 

He dodged Dohyun’s attack and looked up.

 

There he could see a stone spear that had been rotating fiercely, which Talgrin couldn’t hear due to his burst eardrums.

 

Whiiiiiiii———

 

The applied magic attack that Hanalin had created had power superior to intermediate magic, but it had several weaknesses.

 

One was that it took too long to prepare, and another was that it could be detected by sound due to its fierce rotation speed.

 

But what if he couldn’t hear that sound?

 

If prepared in advance and then fired, it could become a perfect attack without weaknesses.

 

Dohyun fired the stone spear that was rotating fiercely in the sky, and Talgrin, who discovered it, felt eeriness spread throughout his body.

 

He realized that if he got hit by that, he would die immediately.

 

With the illusion that the goddess of death was looking at him, Talgrin also unleashed his full power.

 

“Graaaaaaah!!!”

 

As he let out a battle cry and put all his heat into his axe, the sturdy axe that had withstood Talgrin’s fierce attacks and heavy weight until now was gradually losing its form as if melting.

 

However, Talgrin didn’t care and while the axe blade was still intact, he swung his axe toward the stone spear that was falling while rotating fiercely. The heat gathered together and shot out as if sharpening a blade, splitting even the fiercely rotating stone spear in two.

 

Kwaddddddeung———!!!

 

A sound like lightning striking echoed as waves spread around, and powerful winds rose up, giving the illusion that the already wide open field was becoming even wider.

 

The moment Talgrin, who had barely managed to split that stone spear, lowered his gaze to look for Dohyun, his vision dropped endlessly low to meet the ground. Talgrin felt his vision spinning around the world and could see his own body with its neck severed.

 

And behind his own body, seeing Dohyun, who had appeared using stealth, sheathing his sword after swinging it, Talgrin tried to say something but couldn’t speak in the end, and his eyes dimmed just like that.

 

“Phew, that wasn’t easy.”
