chapter 32
Episode 32
In the end, this absurd bet actually went ahead.
As they were giving out the names of the defense forces, of course they couldn’t fight each other, so they tried to decide the match by selecting a target and competing in one-on-one magic skills.
“The one who shoots down these three hundred birds first is the winner. Direct attacks against each other are prohibited, but as long as there is no damage, it is possible to interfere, right?”
“of course.”
On the other side, of course, Baek Ji-Woon came out as a player, and the problem was this one.
“You go out.”
“why?”
“It’s a good match.”
At my words, Cheongju-hwa agreed to it, showing a shaky look.
“… Well, since the last time I didn’t like that side.”
At first, I made a bet with Cheong Ji-yeon, so I couldn’t go out on my own.
“So, how long do you think it will take?”
Hearing that, Jiyeon Cheong said to me with a meaningful smile.
“Three minutes.”
No matter how much the country, I couldn’t help but be quite embarrassed by those words. It doesn’t make sense conceptually. It was a very outrageous evaluation.
It could be said that it was even more amazing as she was serious about getting 1st grade.
“Do you think that would be possible?”
“Maybe you know better?”
To that, I replied with a smile filled with admiration.
“You have good eyes.”
“There are probably not enough people who don’t notice.”
However, she was wrong. Unfortunately, I couldn’t come up with an answer by one point.
“It won’t take three minutes.”
“Are you serious about that?”
“It ends with the first one.”
“… her.”
After a while, the two met, and Baek Tae-gang threw three hundred birds into the sky and threw the amulet.
“It starts when all the amulets burn.”
Whoops.
Hwareuk.
So all the amulets burned.
The moment I blinked once, the match had already begun.
“Mahon Jaeroe!”
👌👌👌👌👌👌
It was the same when he attacked me earlier, but probably Baek Ji-woon is also an exorcist who mainly deals with magic and curses.
The black stem extending from the thrown amulet wrapped around the three hundred swans like a prison, which completely blocked the view of the cheongju flower.
“If you have to say you have talent, you are still at the level of a student.”
Baek Ji-woon laughed at Cheong Ju-hwa and tried to finish it as it is.
However, at that moment, Cheongju-hwa looked at Baek Tae-gang, who was in charge of the referee, and opened her mouth softly.
“Aren’t you judging?”
“… … .”
It was obviously a nonsensical statement, but Baek Tae-gang’s expression was dark. Soon, with his long tongue, he gave a soft reply.
“… We lost.”
“Yes? What does that mean?”
Baek Ji-woon asked in bewilderment, but Baek Tae-gang just frowned.
“… this stupid thing Look closely at the target.”
whip profit.
oh shit.
At Baek Tae-gang’s gesture, the prison built by Baek Ji-woon was shattered. What was revealed was the three swans with their wings bent and droopy.
“ね. This is absurd… … ! How on earth!”
“I just shot it as soon as it started.”
Actually, it wasn’t very strange. Just looking at the battle in Yeongwol-do was like that.
Even Sophia, who is called the best prospect of the next generation, has a history of allowing Cheongjuhwa’s first attack without even thinking of defending it.
And after the test was over, the professors all expressed admiration for the speed at which Cheongju-hwa was developed.
Baek Ji-woon in front of him is a talented third-class exorcist, but no matter how good he is, he is at a lower level than the professors of the academy.
If it was a direct battle with each other, I don’t know, or if it was a simple first-off fight, losing Cheongju-hwa could not happen.
Perhaps Cheong Ji-yeon also noticed the absurd speed of the development of Cheongju-hwa in the defense force during that time.
So, confident that he would win, he would have wagered a fight with his fortune. It was simple.
“uh… … . Is it over anyway?”
Cheongjuhwa, who had decided the match in an instant, asked this side with an awkward face.
Baek Tae-gang looked at Cheong Ji-yeon in disbelief.
“… Did you know it would be like this?”
“Well? You never know until you try something.”
Taekang Baek, who had a tongue-in-cheek, smiled in an unexpected way, pulled out a pure white stake and threw it at Jiyeon Cheong.
Whoo!
turuk.
And then he left the place. Leaving one last meaningful word.
“… It will not end like this.”
“If it’s not that, it’s rather sad this way.”
***
After breaking up with Baek Tae-gang and the others, when they got near the guardhouse, Ji-yeon Cheong opened her mouth.
“Would you like to go in first? I have something to talk about for a moment.”
“… Okay.”
The subject was Cheongjuhwa. Cheongju-hwa tilted her head for a moment, then turned and headed towards the defense force.
All that was left was Jiyeon Cheong and I, just the two of us.
Cheong Ji-yeon smiled and spoke to me.
“Would you like to walk?”
“… … .”
So I followed Cheong Ji-yeon to a place somewhere. The place we arrived at was an empty vacant lot with no popularity.
“Bet is a bet. You have to give what you give.”
Whik!
turuk.
“… Can I really give it to you? To be honest, I was half joking.”
“I’m not lying about this.”
I felt intuitively, this was definitely a flow that would be devastating if I took it as it is.
Not surprisingly, Cheong Ji-yeon began to speak with a serious face.
“People like me usually know who the other person is.”
Eventually, what she saw was the direction of the alley where the cheongju flower disappeared.
“That kid is definitely the one who can get stronger.”
“Is that so?”
“It was the first time I saw it. Maybe someday I will definitely reach the express?”
It was indeed an accurate assessment.
It’s amazing that you can think about it just by looking at it for a while.
But nothing to admire. Cheong Ji-yeon continued to speak with a somewhat overbearing smile.
“And you… … .”
Fuhuaak.
In that instant, an enormous amount of spiritual power erupted from Cheong Ji-yeon.
“It is definitely dangerous. Quite a bit too.”
What I started to feel immediately after was a feeling of pressure and living that gave me goosebumps.
“Actually, I don’t like Jung Hae. We broke the ties, but we were originally hostile.”
“… … .”
She already knew that I had a connection with Jung Hae. Somehow, I started to have a bad feeling.
“Say it. Why did you come here, even borrowing her power?”
“Are you saying I’m up to something?”
It wasn’t entirely wrong to be honest, but that was my personal purpose and far from any conspiracy. However, it seems that Cheong Ji-yeon has come to think that she is not alone after looking at my background.
“… Well, if I cut off one of my limbs, I’d say it even if I didn’t like it.”
keying.
Immediately after, it was surrounded by an invisible barrier on all sides, in an instant. There was no room for obstruction.
‘… Quite sincere, this.’
It was dangerous.
To be honest, I didn’t even think that I would form such a hostile relationship with a person as big as Cheong Ji-yeon.
Whoops.
“The white heat wave.”
Crazy!
The strength of the barrier is considerable. At least, it cannot be penetrated by ordinary intermediate techniques.
‘… At least, there is a possibility that you have to pour more power than the advanced techniques.’
I hardened my expression and looked at Jiyeon, who was smiling a little.
“You seem to have given up on escaping, haven’t you?”
“… I have no intention of fighting.”
“I have a lot.”
Whoa!
After she finished speaking, she spread blue marbles in the air.
Then he lifted a red amulet and signed a seal.
parsak.
“Yunhwa (玧化).”
Whoops.
Todok.
tock.
Then, the marbles that turned red began to sink into the ground, emitting their own spiritual energy.
“… … .”
We know the identity of Cheong Ji-yeon’s drinking ceremony. This is a preliminary step in preparing for the extensive restraint procedure.
And it belonged to a fairly powerful axis among redemption techniques.
“Do I really have to do this?”
“The thing that bothers me is because I’m the type that can’t just let it go.”
He didn’t seem to have any intention of quitting. In the end, I had to somehow get through the crisis on my own.
“Noongsugwi, Yeomho.”
Fuwaak!
[Keek!]
[king!]
When my name was called, my shadow shook and vomited out two familiar shikigami.
Whirlik!
Whoa!
Yeomho made a somersault and climbed onto my shoulder as it was, and Noongsugwi checked the opponent and spouted a yogi with a shaky face.
“Oh, I have something that looks pretty strong for a student.”
“Didn’t you research everything anyway?”
“I haven’t heard of those two.”
yes it will be The students who saw Yeom-ho and Noongsu-gwi directly didn’t think of anyone other than Seo Ji-an and Sophia.
“Aren’t you going to take the rest out?”
“This is all that is left. Everything else has been ordered.”
“It made me sad.”
He says so, but he doesn’t show any regret at all. Without waiting, Cheong Ji-yeon recited the mantra of the high-tech ceremony that she had been preparing for.
Qingdao Temple Wuhua Land.
Gongrim area.
“The wine of redemption.”
Fuwaak!
saraak.
Flower stalks made of spiritual power began to protrude from all over the ground where the beads had dug in.
There were sharp thorns all over the stem, and the size was also considerable.
Obviously, if you are caught by that, it will be difficult to survive.
“Noongsoogi.”
[Kech?]
Hearing my calm voice, the old man shook his head. He already knew that it was an attack that could not be stopped by his own curse.
“It’s okay, shoot it.”
[Kik… … .]
Whoa!
The old man threw a curse on the ground with a skeptical face, and the stems that were running towards me withdrew their bodies for a moment.
At that moment, I concentrated my mind and carefully observed the spiritual powers that rose everywhere.
And, I finally found the place I was looking for.
‘… over there.’
🤩
Whoops.
With the help of cheongjuhwa, he takes a specially made blackbu from his waist and picks it up. And he breathed in his spirit without any blockage.
“Public food greed.”
👌👌👌👌👌👌
Paz!
A spell used to break Sophia’s barrier.
As it was, an intermediate skill that contained a curse hit the ground directly.
Immediately after, the sound of something breaking was heard.
Crisp!
“… How did know?”
The red flags are slowly disappearing despite their magnificence.
Cheong Ji-yeon, who was watching the situation, asked me as if it was rather interesting.
“You can see it.”
“You’re talking silly.”
Originally, there is only one central medium necessary for the art of jeokchihwa. I knew it through my knowledge of the game.
So what would it be? All but one of the many marbles were all piles.
“… Even so, it’s not a trick that can be broken so easily.”
I can only say that that part was good.
The medium for developing the liquor of jeokchihwa is a spirit created by gathering pure spiritual power.
They are relatively vulnerable to curses and magic-type magic.
So, if it was my curse that was fully compensated for the gold business, I was able to do enough damage.
“Slowly, I’m starting to get really excited.”
With a happy face, Cheong Ji-yeon prepared for the next attack.
Spiritual powers gather in an instant, and each of them has a role and constitutes a rite.
‘Spiritual power focused at 3 o’clock, slash-shaped engraving.’
I activated all the thought circuits and analyzed them. You have to figure it all out in at least a second.
The technique I’m going to use from now on was only able to succeed by aiming at the timing with no error.
‘Intermediate attack technique, fire bullets (砲靈彈).’
analysis is over. The techniques she composes are mid-level to high-level attacking techniques.
A method in which spiritual power is used as a gift to pray to a spirit, and in return, it shoots a spell that directly damages the soul of the opponent.
‘Even in episode 1, it’s a pretty minor drink.’
But it was enough. If it’s a shotgun, I’ve seen it a few times in PVP. I took the amulet in my hand, timing it slowly.
And the moment Cheong Ji-yeon performed the ceremony, I also recited the starting words.
“Poyoungtan!”
“heat wave.”
My heat wave is a low-level attack technique, and the shotgun bullet is an attack technique that is considered top-notch even in the intermediate level.
Considering the level difference between each other, the outcome of the victory seemed clear.
However.
👌👌👌👌👌👌
Whoa-!
“This is what… … .”
With my spell, which was fired without power, Cheong Ji-yeon’s fireball was shredded without a trace.
fracture.
It was the moment when one of the techniques, so-called Biggie, was finally revealed to this world.
