Episode 58
58: Dohyun VS Hanalin, Jiyuchan (2)
Hanalin and Jiyuchan instinctively sensed it. The man named Dohyun standing before them was about to unleash his full power.
Upon realizing this, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan faced Dohyun with far greater tension than when they had confronted the four Dwarves before. Dohyun’s presence was no longer mere mana pressure—his aura had transcended into an entirely different dimension, a level that would qualify him as a D-rank Hunter. Thus, Hanalin and Jiyuchan likewise drew forth their full strength.
Dohyun’s words had been correct.
Even if they unleashed their complete power now, they might still be unable to overcome him. As this thought crystallized, they paradoxically grew calmer, allowing them to channel their full capabilities.
Watching the two of them draw forth their strength, Dohyun’s lips curved into a subtle smile.
‘Let me see what the Guardian’s body is truly capable of.’
Whoooosh—
The sound of compressed air rupturing echoed through the space as Dohyun surged forward.
In the blink of an eye, his footwork—belonging to one who had transcended human limits and entered the realm of the superhuman—was as swift and precise as machinery itself.
Though Jiyuchan had caught glimpses of this when observing from the sidelines, facing Dohyun directly allowed him to truly comprehend it.
Just how terrifying and chilling those refined, efficient movements were.
Had everyone who faced Dohyun witnessed and felt the same thing?
Admiration for those who had faced Dohyun burst forth from within him as Jiyuchan rapidly reached a position before Dohyun.
Raising his blade to block Dohyun’s path as he surged toward Hanalin, Dohyun seemed to mock him—using telekinesis to create a foothold in midair, he lightly vaulted over Jiyuchan.
Crack—
The sound of air being torn filled the space as Dohyun accelerated once more, maintaining his original velocity without the slightest loss as he surged toward Hanalin.
“!!!”
Jiyuchan frantically twisted his body to seize Dohyun from behind and counterattack, but his sluggish reaction speed made it impossible to catch him.
Like someone who had already missed his opportunity, Jiyuchan could only aim for Dohyun’s retreating form, yet he refused to give up and charged forward.
Boom!!
Though Jiyuchan’s speed as he desperately kicked off the ground was considerable, Dohyun’s velocity in reaching Hanalin was faster still.
Yet as if she had already anticipated this, Hanalin exhaled sharply as Dohyun rushed toward her.
“…Hah.”
That exhaled breath transformed into biting cold in an instant, and a frigid aura began to swirl before Hanalin. In midair, a magic circle composed of cold energy materialized as if it had always been there.
Dohyun’s eyes narrowed upon seeing it, and he let out a soft chuckle.
Hanalin, already aware that Dohyun was targeting her, had laid down a magic circle from the very start, and furthermore, she had woven mana infused with cold energy throughout her body, perfectly preparing her magic.
Simultaneously, the unfolded magic circle unleashed its spell, revealing itself across the Sparring Hall.
Intermediate elemental magic—Blizzard.
Normally, this tactical magic would spread widely across the surroundings, striking nearby living creatures with frigid, icy winds bit by bit.
However, the Blizzard that Hanalin had conjured was different.
She had twisted the magic circle’s trajectory and settings to redirect its course, concentrating the storm of snow and ice into a single point that fired toward Dohyun like a beam of pure white light.
The pristine white ray piercing through midair carried such intense cold that it lowered the temperature of the entire area by roughly twenty degrees, and the ice shards it carried were correspondingly hard and razor-sharp.
A biting, cutting wind—compressed and unleashed.
Screeeech—
His sturdy legs braced against the ground, sliding back only slightly, yet not a single scratch marred Dohyun’s original attire.
It was proof that he had perfectly defended against that near-ambush of pure white light.
Observing Dohyun, Hanalin could discern a shimmering heat enveloping him in a spherical barrier.
Just as Hanalin had altered the trajectory of the intermediate elemental magic Blizzard, Dohyun had similarly curved a blazing wall into a sphere around himself, transforming it into a defensive barrier.
The flames had been completely extinguished by the pure white beam, but the residual heat still enveloped my body.
‘…A monster.’
Hanalin couldn’t help but marvel anew at my magical casting speed and exceptional sensitivity. Jiyuchan seized that brief moment when I paused and rushed forward at incredible velocity.
But despite his rapid approach, Jiyuchan was still slower than me, so I gripped a short sword in my left hand and a longsword in my right as I watched him come.
The moment Jiyuchan saw this, he explosively channeled his mana, concentrating it into both legs before launching himself forward at a burst of devastating speed.
Boom——
The sound of air tearing apart echoed just as I had done, and Jiyuchan infused his swordsmanship with mana.
He achieved explosive speed in an instant, but it was nowhere near fast enough to surpass my reaction time.
As Jiyuchan closed the distance and swung his blue-glowing blade, the sword aura erupted simultaneously, releasing a cutting strike sharper than anything else, brimming with mana.
And I blocked his incoming strike with the short sword held lightly in my grip.
Because I held it so lightly, my arm also moved with that same lightness, undulating like a whip.
At first glance, my arm seemed like it would be knocked back by his sword strike, but that short sword, wielded with perfect efficiency, flexed like a whip and burst through the air at the exact point where Jiyuchan’s blade was descending.
Boom——!
Clang———
The sharp metallic ring echoed as Jiyuchan’s sword trajectory twisted, and I smoothly evaded along that altered path while swinging my longsword held in one hand.
It wasn’t as whip-like as the short sword, but it carried sufficient force—swung with speed that could cut through anything, it gleamed with a sharp killing intent. The blade aimed for Jiyuchan’s waist.
The moment Jiyuchan saw that blade, he understood instinctively.
That sword wasn’t just infused with mana from swordsmanship—it had a low-tier general magic Sharpness spell layered on it.
Though not as light as the short sword, a blade swung so casually could still cleave his waist clean in two. Jiyuchan’s eyes widened, and he loosened his lower body that had been locked rigid from his sword swing, then lightly pushed off the ground, executing a forward roll to evade my blade as if performing a high jump.
Crack—
However, because his sword path twisted and his stance collapsed, some of his arm muscles tore—a sound only he could hear internally—but Jiyuchan didn’t even frown. He tumbled forward, reset his stance, and rushed at me again.
I swung my longsword at Jiyuchan again, and simultaneously threw my short sword upward before snapping my fingers, causing the ground to suddenly surge up to intercept the high-speed projectile that was hurtling down.
Screee——
Boom boom boom—
Crash—!
The projectile blocked by the rising earth destroyed more than half the ground but failed to penetrate. I immediately swung my longsword at Jiyuchan, and the heavy mana contained within it forced him to grip his blade with both hands to block it. The weighty strike sent him sliding backward nearly ten meters.
Screech———
Watching Jiyuchan get pushed back, I floated into midair, spun gracefully, and caught the falling short sword in my left hand as I descended.
It looked almost like an art form, but both Hanalin and Jiyuchan were breaking into cold sweat watching it.
At this rate, I really would leave them without a scratch, just as I’d said—both of them mustered their resolve with that thought, gathering their strength, while I observed them and thought internally.
‘The Guardian’s body is truly broken, isn’t it?’
They didn’t know it, but I was currently pushing myself to the limit.
I was driving my muscles to their absolute threshold, using them recklessly regardless of whether they tore or not.
That short sword I’d wielded like a whip—even that single strike had torn through cartilage, ligaments, and muscle, but thanks to the Guardian’s body rapidly regenerating, I could somehow still move my left hand now.
Of course, the pain was immense.
In other words.
‘If I just endure the pain, I can exert strength beyond my limits.’
Which meant Jiyuchan and Hanalin weren’t weak at all.
Compared to when I faced Talgrin, I was now operating at over thirty percent greater strength.
But even so, there was no way Hanalin and Jiyuchan could accept that. Looking at their brilliantly shining eyes, I smiled slightly myself, yet felt my spine tingling with an inexplicable chill.
A truly precarious balancing act.
If I slipped even slightly here, it wouldn’t be surprising if I dealt fatal blows to both of them—such was the situation, and I couldn’t help but think about it.
‘Still, I need to show the dignity of a party leader.’
With that thought, I rushed at Hanalin again, and Jiyuchan charged diagonally to intercept me, swinging his sword at me.
We exchanged dozens of sword strikes per second, while Hanalin provided cover from behind, unleashing spells.
With three or four spells firing at once, I had no choice but to use both magic and sword simultaneously to block the attacks from Jiyuchan and Hanalin.
Unlike at first, their coordination gradually improved, and their attacks grew increasingly fierce. I laughed inwardly.
‘They really are monsters.’
It sounded like something someone else would say in exasperation, but I meant it sincerely.
Even knowing their attack trajectories and spell types in advance through Analysis, sparring with these two was far from easy.
But that’s precisely what made it meaningful.
I pushed myself harder and charged toward them, and Jiyuchan and Hanalin, gripping sword and staff respectively, rushed forward to meet me.
* * *
Boom——!
Rumble——!!
Crash——!!!
Powerful shockwaves erupted multiple times, shaking the entire Sparring Hall, and those engaged in Equipment Training, as well as those training in the Sparring Hall, all stopped to watch the Dohyun Party’s match.
At the Hunter Association, D-rank and above Hunters were assigned separate dedicated Sparring Halls or Training Grounds, so there were no D-rank or higher Hunters here.
Because of this, everyone watching the Dohyun Party’s match couldn’t help but gasp in admiration.
Such combat was actually possible.
There were quite a few E-rank Hunters here, and they could only stand with their mouths agape, utterly unable to follow those movements.
“Did… did he block that?”
“I… I lost track of the movement just now…”
“Insane, is this really a D-rank battle???”
“Wow.”
“Why is that person using both magic and swordsmanship???”
“It’s crazy, absolutely crazy.”
The gap in level was so vast that jealousy didn’t arise—only awe bloomed among them, and Lee Heejai stood with his mouth open like the rest.
A feeling similar to what he’d experienced when he first saw Hanalin was stirring within Lee Heejai.
Could he become like that too?
At that thought, he felt somehow pathetic standing here marveling and merely watching them.
Wasn’t he just like an extra, gawking at geniuses and doing nothing but spectating?
With that thought, Lee Heejai tore his eyes from their match and returned to the Equipment Training Ground.
‘I’ll get stronger too…”
With that resolve, he resumed training, and not long after Lee Heejai restarted, the Dohyun Party’s match reached its conclusion.
The victor was.
“Huff, haaah.”
“Gasp, gaasp.”
Hanalin and Jiyuchan lay collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily as if exhausted, and before them, I stood in a hunched posture, still on my feet, looking at the two of them and speaking wearily.
“Phew, I barely won, seriously.”
It was Dohyun.
