Episode 58
Chapter 58: Lee Dohyun VS Hanalin, Jiyuchan (2)
Hanalin and Jiyuchan instinctively felt it. The man named Lee Dohyun standing before them was about to unleash his full power.
Realizing this, Hanalin and Jiyuchan faced Dohyun with even more tension than when they had fought the four dwarves earlier. It wasn’t simple mana pressure, but an overwhelming presence on a completely different level – Dohyun was already at a level where he could be called a D-rank Hunter, so Hanalin and Jiyuchan also drew out their full power.
Dohyun’s words were right.
Even if the two of them drew out their full power now, they might not be able to do anything about it. With that thought, they actually became calmer and were able to give their all.
Watching the two draw out their full power, Dohyun also smiled slightly.
‘Let’s see what the Guardian’s body can do.’
Whoooosh——
The sound of compressed air exploding echoed as Dohyun charged forward.
In the blink of an eye, the leap of one who had surpassed humanity and reached the realm of the superhuman was as fast as a machine, and just as precise.
Even when watching from the side, he had vaguely known, but now that Jiyuchan was facing Dohyun directly, he could truly realize it.
How chilling and terrifying those precise and efficient movements were.
Did everyone who faced Dohyun see and feel such things?
Rather, admiration for those who had faced Dohyun burst forth as Jiyuchan quickly reached Dohyun’s front.
Not too late, he blocked the path of Dohyun who was charging toward Hanalin and raised his sword, but Dohyun, as if mocking him, created a foothold in mid-air with telekinesis and lightly leaped over Jiyuchan.
Whooosh——
The sound of cutting through air rang out as Dohyun accelerated once more, charging toward Hanalin without losing any of his initial speed.
“!!!”
Jiyuchan hastily twisted his body to catch Dohyun from behind and attack, but with Jiyuchan’s slow reaction speed, he could never catch Dohyun.
Like someone who had already missed their chance, he only stared at Dohyun’s rear, but Jiyuchan didn’t give up there and ran forward.
Whooosh!!
Jiyuchan’s speed as he urgently kicked off the ground was fast, but Dohyun’s speed in reaching Hanalin was faster.
However, as if she already knew this, Hanalin watched Dohyun charging at her and let out a short breath.
“…Hoo.”
That exhaled breath instantly became cold air, and a chill began to swirl in front of Hanalin, while a magic circle made of cold air appeared floating in mid-air, though no one knew when it had formed.
Dohyun saw this and his eyes twitched, then he chuckled.
Knowing that Dohyun was targeting her from the very beginning, Hanalin had laid down a magic circle right from the start, and on top of that, she had spread mana imbued with cold air from her body, perfectly preparing her magic.
The simultaneously deployed magic circle unleashed magic, revealing its form in the sparring hall.
Intermediate elemental magic, Blizzard.
Originally a tactical magic that would spread widely around the area, gradually attacking surrounding life forms with cold air and ice-mixed winds.
However, the blizzard that Hanalin created was slightly different.
She twisted the magic circle’s trajectory and settings to set the direction, and the storm of snow and ice gathered in one place shot out like a straight beam in front of Dohyun.
The pure white beam occupying the air contained enough cold to instantly lower the temperature of the area by about 20 degrees, and the ice being shot was hard and sharp to match that cold.
Though the bone-chilling wind was condensed and fired.
Hissssss——
His firm legs supported the ground and he was only pushed back slightly, but not a single scratch appeared on Dohyun’s original outfit.
It was proof that he had perfectly blocked that surprise attack-like white beam.
Hanalin, watching such a Dohyun, could see heat waves rippling and wrapping around Dohyun in a spherical shape.
Just as Hanalin had changed the trajectory of the intermediate elemental magic Blizzard, Dohyun had also made an exploding wall curve around himself as a defensive barrier.
Though the flames had all been extinguished by contact with the white beam, only the heat remained, enveloping Dohyun’s body.
‘…Monster.’
Hanalin couldn’t help but be amazed once again at Dohyun’s magic casting speed and excellent sensitivity. Jiyuchan aimed for that moment when Dohyun briefly stopped and quickly rushed in.
But even though he rushed in quickly, since Jiyuchan was slow compared to Dohyun, Dohyun watched such a Jiyuchan and gripped a dagger in his left hand and a longsword in his right hand.
Jiyuchan, seeing him, explosively used his mana circulation technique for a moment, concentrating mana in his legs and shooting forward with explosive speed.
Bang——
Just like what Dohyun had done, the sound of air exploding rang out, and Jiyuchan imbued his swordsmanship with mana.
Though he gained explosive speed for a moment, it was definitely not fast enough to surpass Dohyun’s reaction.
When Jiyuchan closed the distance and swung his sword glowing with blue light, sword energy was emitted and a sword strike more sharp than anything else unfolded, heavily imbued with mana.
And he lightly blocked Jiyuchan’s charging sword strike with a lightly gripped dagger.
Since he gripped it lightly, Dohyun’s arm also moved lightly, swaying like a whip.
At first glance, it seemed like Dohyun’s lightly swinging arm would be blocked by the sword strike and bounce away, but that most efficiently swung dagger curved like a whip and exploded the air at the point where Jiyuchan’s sword strike was unfolding.
Whoosh——!
Claaang———
A sharp sound of metal clashing rang out as Jiyuchan’s sword trajectory was twisted, and Dohyun lightly dodged along that twisted sword path while swinging the longsword held in one hand.
Though it wasn’t whip-like like the dagger, it had sufficient power, swung quickly with sharp killing intent that could cut anything. The swung sword aimed for Jiyuchan’s waist.
As soon as Jiyuchan saw that sword, he instinctively knew.
That sword now contained not only mana from swordsmanship but also the basic general magic Sharpness.
Though it wasn’t as light as the dagger, it was a sword strike that could cut his waist clean in half even with such a casual swing. Jiyuchan’s eyes widened as he released his lower body that had been firmly fixed for swinging his sword, and simultaneously lightly kicked off the ground, managing to dodge Dohyun’s sword with a forward roll like doing a high jump.
Riiip—
However, due to the sword path being twisted and his posture being released, Jiyuchan heard sounds from within as if some of his arm muscles had torn, but he didn’t frown once and after tumbling forward, he corrected his posture again and charged at Dohyun.
Again Dohyun swung his longsword toward Jiyuchan, and simultaneously threw his dagger upward, then flicked his fingers, causing the ground to suddenly rise toward the high-speed bullet that had been charging fiercely.
Whiiiing——
Craaash—
Whoosh—!
The bullet blocked by the rising ground destroyed more than half of the earth but couldn’t penetrate through. Dohyun immediately swung his longsword toward Jiyuchan, and due to the heavy mana contained within it, Jiyuchan gripped his sword tightly with both hands to block it, but was pushed back a full 10 meters due to the heavy sword strike.
Chiiiiiii——
Watching Jiyuchan get pushed back like that, Dohyun caught the dagger that was floating in the air, spinning and falling down, with his left hand again.
It looked almost like a skillful technique, but both Hanalin and Jiyuchan were breaking out in cold sweat as they watched.
At this rate, they really wouldn’t be able to leave even a single scratch on him as Dohyun had said, so both of them gathered their energy to push themselves harder, and Dohyun was thinking to himself as he watched them.
‘Guardian’s body is totally overpowered, isn’t it?’
The two couldn’t know, but right now Dohyun was pushing himself considerably hard.
He was pushing his muscles to their limit and using them like crazy, not caring whether his muscles tore or not.
The dagger he had swung like a whip had actually torn all his cartilage, ligaments, and muscles with just that one strike, but thanks to the Guardian’s body rapidly regenerating, he could somehow move his left hand now.
Of course, the pain was tremendous.
Conversely speaking.
‘If I just endure the pain, I can exert power beyond my limits.’
In other words, it wasn’t that Jiyuchan and Hanalin were weak.
Dohyun was now more than 30% stronger compared to when he had faced Talgrin.
But even so, there was no way Hanalin and Jiyuchan would accept that. Seeing the two people’s eyes burning brightly, Dohyun also felt slightly amused but could feel his spine tingling.
It was really a precarious tightrope walk.
If Dohyun slipped even a little here, it wouldn’t be strange for him to suffer fatal injuries from those two, so Dohyun thought to himself.
‘Still, I need to show the dignity of a party leader.’
Thinking that, Dohyun quickly rushed at Hanalin again, and Jiyuchan ran diagonally to block him, swinging his sword at Dohyun.
They exchanged dozens of sword strikes per second, while Hanalin provided cover from behind, shooting out spells.
With three or four spells being shot at once, Dohyun had no choice but to use both magic and sword simultaneously to block Jiyuchan and Hanalin’s attacks.
Unlike at the beginning, the two’s coordination gradually improved and their attacks became increasingly fierce. Dohyun smiled inwardly.
‘They really are monsters.’
Someone might have snapped back asking who was talking, but Dohyun was sincere.
Even though he was fighting while knowing all the attack trajectories and spell types in advance through analysis, sparring with these two was no easy task.
But that’s what made it meaningful, wasn’t it?
Dohyun thought he should push himself harder and rushed toward the two, while Jiyuchan and Hanalin also faced Dohyun who was charging at them with sword and staff in hand.
* * *
Whoooong——!
Kuuuung——!!
Kwaaaaang——!!!
Strong shockwaves occurred several times, powerful enough to shake the entire Sparring Hall, and not only those doing equipment training but also those training in the sparring hall all stopped to watch Dohyun’s party’s sparring match.
Since the Hunter Association designated separate exclusive sparring halls and training grounds for D-rank level Hunters and above, there were no D-rank or higher Hunters here.
Perhaps because of that, everyone could only watch Dohyun’s party’s sparring and express their admiration.
To think such combat was possible.
There were quite a few E-rank Hunters here too, but they could only gape at those movements they absolutely couldn’t follow.
“He, he blocked that?”
“I, I missed that movement just now….”
“Crazy, that’s supposed to be D-ranks fighting???”
“Whoa.”
“What’s with that guy using both magic and swordsmanship???”
“Insane, that’s insane.”
The level difference was so great that they didn’t even feel jealous, only awe rising among them, and Lee Heejai was also gaping like the others.
A similar emotion to when he first saw Hanalin was rising in Lee Heejai.
Could he become like that too?
When that thought occurred to him, he felt somewhat pathetic standing here admiring them.
Wasn’t this just like being an extra who only admires and watches geniuses?
With that thought, Lee Heejai turned his eyes away from their sparring and returned to the equipment training area.
‘I’ll become stronger too….’
Thinking that, he started training, and not long after Lee Heejai resumed his training, Dohyun’s party’s match was decided.
The victor was.
“Haak, haaak.”
“Heok, heoook.”
Hanalin and Jiyuchan had collapsed on the floor, breathing frantically as if exhausted, and Dohyun stood before them in a hunched posture but still standing, looking at the two and saying tiredly.
“Phewwww, I barely won, really.”
It was Dohyun.
