My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 124
Episode 124. Counterattack (Complete)
The land where everything has vanished.
Behind me, the sound of debris falling from the remaining half of the manor can be heard.
Taking a deep breath and releasing ‘Black Dragon’, I walked forward step by step.
“Acting spoiled? You’re saying I was acting spoiled?”
Suzuki sprawled on the ground, trembling violently.
Her lower body had already been devoured by the magi and was crumbling to dust.
“I too, I too was always desperate-.”
“Really?”
“….”
“Do you really think so?”
I looked down at Suzuki intently.
She gritted her teeth at my gaze and shouted in a voice filled with resentment.
“You got lucky with a good unique skill and made it that far!”
“Well, I won’t deny that.”
I have no intention of denying that I got lucky with my unique skill.
‘Black Dragon’ is certainly tremendous power.
However.
“In Korea, you see. Compared to Japan, the number of S-rank Hunters is significantly fewer.”
The land is small.
There are cases where they leave for overseas.
It’s a place where many S-rank Hunters die because of North Korea.
Therefore, while Korea has 11 S-rank Hunters.
Among them, one person.
“There’s someone with the exact same special mutation type as you.”
“….”
“You have a unique skill where your right arm transforms into a rifle, right?”
Clench.
Suzuki didn’t give any answer and bit her lips hard.
“That person’s hand transforms into a blade. Naturally, they were less suited as a Hunter than you.”
Rifle and blade.
Long-range and close-range.
The starting point was the same – right hand transforming into a weapon.
Assuming they possessed no other powers besides that.
The hierarchy of strength was too clearly established.
“Yet that person became an S-rank Hunter. Why do you think that is?”
“….”
“You can’t answer, can you. If you knew that, you wouldn’t be here like this right now.”
The answer was simple.
That person didn’t stop.
Through sheer hard work.
“They awakened a new unique skill. After becoming an S-rank Hunter.”
“…!”
“Now do you understand who was acting spoiled with a narrow-minded perspective?”
Suzuki, now consumed by magi up to her torso, looked at me with red eyes trembling finely.
Reading the question ‘who is that person’ in her gaze, I opened my mouth in a calm voice.
“Do Pi-hyeon. A person now called by the alias Do Hwang.”
Suzuki with tears hanging at the corners of her eyes.
Suddenly, mana flared up from her as if it were her last, and the speed at which she was turning to dust stopped.
With only her head remaining, Suzuki squeezed out her last strength and shouted.
“I was merely buying time!”
“…What?”
“Even before you attacked the manor! Buying time to prepare for that person’s imminent arrival!”
“That person being….”
“Flame Emperor Gaien! Buying time for him to contain even a little more magi in his body-.”
“…I’ve never kept someone so loose-lipped by my side.”
Crack.
A spear of black flames descending from the sky pierces through Suzuki’s head.
At the same time, I feel an enormous magi.
Creaking as I raised my head, I met eyes with Gaien, who was looking down at me intently with his hands clasped behind his back.
“You….”
“A subject with dirty blood has done well to mess up the manor.”
Snap.
His finger flicks lightly.
At that moment, the sun that was slowly setting westward, the sky that was still blue.
Everything was covered by dark-colored flames.
“Thanks to you, I had to move while still accepting magi. Truly unpleasant.”
The center of the manor.
So this person was the source of the magi I had felt.
He hadn’t left the manor from the beginning.
The reason he told Hikari that was simply.
‘Because he couldn’t move during that time.’
Clenching my fist tightly, I looked up at Gaien.
The pure power he possesses is incomparable to Kargon’s, strictly speaking.
But the magi I’m feeling now is so thick and unpleasant.
The karmic fire burning with it as nourishment is so hot.
If I let my guard down even slightly, I feel like I’ll burn up completely.
‘This is dangerous.’
Hokkaido’s cold air instantly changed to scorching heat.
Hot heat and magi.
If I only had to deal with one of these, I could endure it sufficiently.
But two forces are coexisting.
This is a slightly different problem.
‘That doesn’t mean I can’t win though.’
It’s dangerous.
But that doesn’t mean I’ll lose.
Looking up at Gaien, I raised the corners of my mouth and shouted.
“The unpleasant one is rather this side. An S-rank Hunter wrapping magi around his body.”
“Magi is tremendous power. Just using it can make you dozens of times stronger than before.”
“So you’re saying you accepted magi for that reason?”
“What other reason could there be besides that?”
Gaien, asking back as if he truly couldn’t understand, swept his hand down.
A rain of flames infused with magi began pouring from the sky.
I reached out my hand toward the baptism of flames that would destroy everything in the area.
[Mist – Shadow in Fog]
The storm of black mist extending from my right hand swirled violently and devoured all the flames.
The mist writhing as if it would melt at any moment from the heat mixed with magi.
Clenching my fist tightly to crush the flames before the mist could melt away, I dusted off my fist and looked up at the sky.
“What to do about this. My attack was blocked by dirty blood.”
I grinned wickedly at Gaien.
Gaien’s brow twitched once before he growled and shouted.
“Delude yourself all you want, trash. Right now I’m just using my power incorrectly since I’m handling magi for the first time!”
Soon, magi began radiating from Gaien’s entire body.
Perhaps his words about using his power incorrectly weren’t completely false, as even more intense magi burst forth from his body.
The magi felt stronger than even the scorching heat.
After roughly releasing his magi, he glared with red eyes and flicked his hand.
[Purgatory – Eruption]
The floor began to warp.
Soon after, I started to feel intense heat rising from the ground.
Eyes widening, I kicked off the ground as fast as possible to escape the warped area.
“This crazy…!”
Kwagagagagak!
Black flames tainted with magi shot up with enough force to reach the sky.
Having barely dodged the flames, I quickly regained my stance and kicked off the ground.
[Mist – Flying Above Mist]
I shot toward Gaien at high speed while clenching my fist.
But Gaien was also S-rank.
He wasn’t an opponent who would go down easily.
As if he naturally expected me to dodge, he had prepared a follow-up attack.
[Purgatory – Flame Spear]
A massive flaming spear formed in his right hand.
The same attack that had mercilessly pierced through Suzuki’s head was now aimed at mine.
Clicking my tongue, I unclenched my fist and concentrated mist beneath my feet.
[Mist – Sliding Mist]
As if a foothold had formed beneath my feet.
I stepped on the air to dodge the arrow, then bent my knees in midair once more.
[Mist – Flying Above Mist]
This time, instead of going from bottom to top.
From top to bottom.
Now in a position looking down at Gaien, I shot toward him violently.
“…How unpleasant.”
He looked at me and darkly lowered his eyes.
Then, as if the games were over.
[Purgatory – War Play]
He donned armor made of black flames over his entire body.
I quickly used ‘Sliding Mist’ to stop my body due to the considerable temperature radiating from him.
“I thought you’d be A-rank at best.”
A helmet with horns like a rhinoceros beetle.
A mask covering the lower half of his face.
Armor that looked like woven tiles and shin guards too.
Gaien, wearing armor that naturally brought to mind images of Japanese armor, pointed the blazing black flame sword in his right hand at me.
“I, Flame Emperor Gaien, acknowledge you as S-rank. Trash.”
Drip, drip.
Lava-like sticky flames dripped from the tip of the sword he held.
The fallen flames easily melted the ground.
High-temperature heat that instantly melted even the earth.
He exhaled hazy steam through the gaps in the mask covering his lower face and swung the sword in his hand horizontally.
[Purgatory – Fierce Wind]
Despite merely swinging his sword from such a distance.
I felt a burning sensation in my abdomen following the trajectory of his sword swing.
“Kuk…”
Clutching my abdomen, I let out a small groan.
It stung.
To me, it seemed like an ordinary swing without even mana infused.
Perhaps magi was infused in the heat itself, as that magi interfered with recovery.
I wanted to ignore it and continue the battle immediately, but I couldn’t.
Strangely, the burn was gradually expanding its range.
At this rate, my entire upper body would be covered in burns within a minute.
I rotated my mana as quickly as possible to heal the burn.
Gaien spoke to me in a calm voice.
“Our Narukami family has carried on tradition since the Edo shogunate.”
When their weapons rang out in battle, that battlefield would be victorious.
100 battles, 100 victories.
A family called the gods of war.
Hence Narukami (Crying God).
Those who inherited the legitimate blood of Narukami all shared the same characteristic.
“We are those who enjoy battle.”
Those who enjoy battle.
Those who feel ecstasy in battle itself.
“The War Play I just used is the ultimate form of Narukami.”
Though they carry different meanings.
When the Narukami bloodline reaches its end, it automatically creates appropriate attire.
The battle-mad factor engraved in their blood recognizes this place as a battlefield and creates suitable attire.
“Yes, we enjoy battle.”
We enjoy the act of battle itself.
We pursue ever greater power.
That’s why.
“We accepted magi.”
Swoosh.
The sword quietly rose.
Gripping the sword hilt tightly with both hands, he raised the sword beside his head.
“So come at me, trash.”
“…Who are you calling trash? You piece of waste.”
Thwack-
Simultaneously, I leaped in while stepping on the air.
I pulled back my tightly clenched right hand.
But before that.
Gaien’s sword, with its far superior reach, slashed upward from below.
[Purgatory – Rising Fire]
Dark flames exploded upward along the sword.
I quickly jerked my head to the side.
Flames barely grazed my shoulder.
Hot.
So incredibly hot.
It felt like my skin was melting away.
But instead of screaming, I gritted my teeth and pulled up the corners of my mouth.
“You missed?”
“…!”
How much did he underestimate me to show such an opening?
I twisted my waist greatly and threw a punch toward Gaien’s exposed side.
[Martial Arts – Rampage ]
Thud- Boom!
Mist burst out from the opposite side after penetrating through his body.
The impact must have been considerable, as Gaien’s greatly constricted pupils trembled violently.
But he too did not let out a scream.
Instead of screaming, he chose to bring down diagonally the sword he had swung upward.
[Purgatory – Explosive Flame Vertical Slash ]
Exploding flames were drawn vertically.
The blade struck my body precisely.
At the terrible pain I felt in that instant, I opened my mouth wide.
‘I need to quickly reattach my body…!’
Flinch.
He definitely slashed down with his sword.
But my body remained attached without being split apart.
As proof, my left hand that should have flown away was moving normally.
“Ho, you’re wearing quite excellent armor.”
The clothes made from dark black iron that Kargon had gifted me.
Perhaps because of that.
The clothes negated the cutting force that the slash itself possessed.
However.
“It seems it can’t block the heat though.”
It couldn’t block the heat contained within the slash.
‘Still, it’s fine.’
The fact that my arm didn’t fly off meant I could still move it.
I bit down hard on my cheek to awaken my mind.
The fishy scent of blood I felt in my mouth.
Gritting my teeth like that, I struck down hard on Gaien’s head with my right hand.
“Kugh, cough!”
Whoosh, boom!
Gaien was driven into the ground.
Having sent him flying, I coughed roughly and furrowed my brow.
‘This hurts like hell.’
They say burning pain is the most agonizing among all the pain humans can feel.
I can endure everything else, but I just can’t stand burns.
‘Still, thanks to burning to death hundreds of times in the Tutorial Tower, I’m okay.’
I can still endure it for now.
Spitting out saliva mixed with blood, I bent my knees.
In any case.
“Come, trash! Show me your full power!”
“Shut your mouth.”
It was certain that he wasn’t an opponent I could get past half-heartedly.
[Thousand Transformations – Dragon Scales ]
Scales of mist sprouted above my fist.
Those scales of mist traveled up my arm and reached my shoulder.
‘Up to my right arm.’
Having extended the range of ‘Black Dragon’ up to my right arm, I bent my knees while leaning diagonally.
Like that, I shot toward Gaien at high speed.
