chapter 895
895. [Western Front] – Understanding Anastasia (170)
***
So so so so so… !
A countless roar.
It was not a sound caused by ice shards and spear blades colliding.
It was the sound of ‘ice shards’ and another ‘ice shard’ canceling each other out.
And Anastasia was facing it with both eyes.
“… … .”
Even as my lips hesitated for a moment, my heart wavered slightly.
Now that I was concentrating my mind strongly to control my power, I felt like I was standing on the tip of a sword.
I am aware that my power can cause fatal injury to someone. Nevertheless, it is a situation where we must use force boldly and push through.
As I thought about that, a ‘miracle’ was literally unfolding in my field of vision.
Damn it! Shashashak… … !
By swinging the spear, stabbing it, and striking it again and again in a trance-like state, all the power of the cold that appears in the open state is neutralized.
No, it wasn’t just neutralizing it, it was ‘reversing’ it, just as it was told to me.
No one dares to surpass my strength in dealing with cold, and now Han Tiansheng was completely proving his words.
And referring to that miracle… … .
‘Bicheonsuwol.’
This was Han Tiansheng’s newly acquired power.
I can realize more clearly what kind of power it was that was able to overcome even Eustea.
And yet.
My heart wasn’t feeling very well.
It was no exaggeration to say that this was a power so absurd that it would catch any being off guard.
ㅡComplete understanding and twist.
At the same time, through the miracle that can be performed as a result, the power that flooded into oneself is returned to the opponent.
That is why the miracle that unfolded before my eyes was possible.
He shows off the miracle of returning all the ice shards that he infinitely shoots back to his spear without any effort.
And slowly, the end of that miracle became visible to me.
Sigh… !
A shard of ice twisted around the tip of the spear, carving a stab wound on Han Cheonseong’s body.
And the frequency was slowly increasing.
Even though the almost mysterious technique that demonstrated the power of Bicheonsuwol was a miracle in itself to me, the miracle was not infinite.
The difference in power between them is clear, and if Han Tiansheng chooses to face it rather than avoid it, I can confidently say that in an open state, I have the power to overwhelm even the nine apostles.
‘… … ‘Just now.’
It was a power that could be said to be sufficiently great.
With the nine apostles, a second opening would be a prerequisite, but simply speaking by force, I was saying that I was above everyone else.
However, Han Tiansheng showed this level of propaganda by encountering my power within the realm of my opening, even if only for a moment.
Perfect!
I flicked my hand for a moment. With that, all the rushing force of ice stopped.
ㅡ!
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!
It was immediately visible through numerous ice fragments suspended in mid-air.
“ha… … .”
The thick breath exhaled from his completely red face contained heat.
Meanwhile, I could see the hand holding the spear trembling.
margin.
And perhaps more than this would be impossible for Han Tiansheng.
The ice shards that could not be removed left numerous stab wounds on Han Tiansheng’s body, and if I had not momentarily controlled the ice shards, the wounds would have been fatal enough to pierce his body.
dump! Push!
Soon, Han Cheon-seong, who got down on one knee, slammed his spear into the ground, barely able to hold on, and I let out a small breath.
“It’s a very powerful force. “I won’t deny your proof either.”
Perhaps it is the third ritual shown in the last training, Surachilyeon.
Even though it was a completely different power from what was seen then, I couldn’t help but acknowledge it.
“… … .”
Han Tiansheng raised his head blankly, and his eyes seemed to be burning. We can face more than this… … But it wasn’t me.
Again. Again.
The sound of my steps as I walked across the ground that had turned into an icy area due to the opening rang especially loudly. Then, I slowly approached Han Tiansheng and gathered my thoughts.
Before long, I was able to stand in front of Han Tiansheng, who managed to avoid falling.
“I can definitely say it’s a miracle. “The power of Bicheonsuwol has endless applications and variations.”
Han Tiansheng exhaled and smiled for a moment.
“Nevertheless, I think there is still a lot missing.”
What he meant was that he knew it too.
How much ridiculous power he is trying to exert, and how much he is trying to obtain it.
And that it is still ‘incomplete’.
“I think you’ve shown some proof. however… … “This would be a force worse than not being dealt with.”
I felt like I needed to properly remind people of the dangers of this skill.
‘I think Eustea could have overcome it.’
That too would be a miracle.
Even though it was a miracle that Han Tian-seong created himself, I needed to tell him why it was called a miracle.
“I know it’s very dangerous. “It would be more dangerous to use it in actual combat than it is now.”
“… … You’re growing up, and you’re ready to move on. Because the power of other skills is evolving along with you.”
“So you’re telling me to give up?”
I nodded to the voice that looked up at me blankly and asked.
“Actually, I thought it was impossible. “No matter how deliberately we pushed him to realize the truth behind the ice shards, complete understanding was impossible in such a short period of time.”
In fact, I thought it was possible to learn the truth contained in ice fragments by encountering them thousands of times in a short period of time. However, reversing that in the realm of complete understanding was an area that was close to impossible, no matter how hard one was.
However, even that seemed like a miraculous success for Han Cheon-seong.
‘Is the level of complete understanding different from what I thought?’
Even if that were the case, my feelings were strange.
“… … Didn’t I do it? Although I understand that it is imperfect, the possibility clearly exists.”
“This is nothing more than imperfection. “It has the power to take your life with just one mistake.”
He declared coldly.
Even if I completely mastered this power, I didn’t think I should handle it.
‘The moment of believing and relying on this power.’
In itself, Han Tiansheng will face death at every moment.
A strange state in which one is not aware of the danger even though one is standing at the tip of a sword.
It was no different from calling it the worst.
“But I think it has to be dealt with.”
“… … I understand your will. First, let’s take a break and think more. “Right now, relax your hand holding the spear, it will strain your muscles.”
Even though I put aside a move for a while, I changed the move.
Bar… … .
“… … yes.”
After barely answering, Han Tiansheng very carefully put down the spear in his hand.
Tuk.
And even at that moment, Han Tiansheng’s hands were shaking.
It was obvious to my eyes.
‘Eusea… … .’
What did he really want from Han Cheon-seong?
From a few words yesterday, I thought it was probably something to do with erosion. It’s not something that has a negative impact, it’s something that has a positive impact.
So, I understood that a phenomenon similar to self-medication also appeared yesterday.
But Han Tiansheng’s attitude was the problem.
Sreuk.
As I gently sat down next to him, I naturally stored my sword.
“… … “I apologize if I seemed rude.”
Seeing Han Tiansheng carefully apologizing, laughter inadvertently leaked out.
“No, I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s rude. “I think what you say is valid.”
He asserted his opinion so strongly and expressed his opinion to me.
But that disappeared like a lie and he soon returned to his usual gentle self. And it was easy to see that this was Han Tiansheng’s true nature.
That nature is like this.
“Can you tell me more about the moment you encountered Eustea?”
“… … “This is going to be a bit long.”
“It’s okay if it’s long. “Because I want to listen properly.”
A hero named Eustea.
An encounter with a hero whose strength is known to be impossible to measure would certainly have surpassed reality.
And it was seen that it had a great influence on Han Cheon-seong, to the point of instilling another will in him.
‘To persuade.’
Perhaps the order would be to understand Yustea first, not Han Tiansheng.
“Then I will inform you carefully.”
“thank you.”
That’s how I heard about the time with Eustea.
The blood-red sea described as a world of imagination.
My first encounter with Eustea up there.
And an endless series of sparring where you can vividly feel death… … .
As Han Tiansheng’s explanation continued one by one, I felt eerie.
“… “I felt that he was manifesting based on my own strength, so the way for me to defeat him was to obtain greater power.”
“So the power awakened… .”
“Eh, it’s Bicheonsuwol.”
Han Tiansheng spoke calmly, and to anyone, it seemed as if he had overcome a small ordeal.
However, I realized the true meaning behind those words.
‘This is…’ … .’
It was bondage.
I knew that Eustea’s will was to save Han Tiansheng from his own erosion. And I also understood that that will was in fact like another death.
but.
“So I think I need to try harder. Eustea devoted herself to the empire in the past, and now she has devoted herself to me again to save me. Because I have to respond to his will and move forward more properly. Only then… … .”
Han Cheon-seong, who repeatedly revealed his intentions to me, was extremely transparent.
As he slowly recovers his stamina, the gun in his eyes returns.
But I felt a little scared.
“Han Tiansheng.”
“yes. “Major.”
The face that gently turned its head towards me at my call was already uttering a calm prayer.
“Let’s end today’s training here.”
“… … yes? “I have now regained my stamina.”
“No, I think it would be better to talk to you a little more slowly from now on. “I think I can listen to you and give you more advice.”
“The advice is… … “Thank you very much, but I want to practice Bicheon Suwol more.”
“We’ll deal with that again tomorrow.”
He speaks back strongly.
What Han Tiansheng needs now.
No, what Han Tiansheng must take was his own rest.
‘… Eustea may not have meant it.’
Maybe Eustea was just trying to help her overcome her erosion.
However, Han Tiansheng did not accept that very much.
That was exactly the problem.
Han Tiansheng… … You’re pushing yourself harder and putting a bigger burden on your mind.
“… … .”
When Han Cheon-seong hesitated for a moment with his lips, I naturally stretched out my hand.
Sreuk.
“ah.”
Seeing Han Tiansheng looking at me in surprise for a moment, I felt a little awkward, but I took the initiative to lead him by the hand.
“… … So, I won’t be spending any more time in the training room today. “Okay?”
“Yes, I understand.”
I felt confused as I watched Han Tiansheng answer reluctantly.
It is not a feeling of being foolish or foolish.
… … This was a very disturbing feeling.
‘Eostea’s Dedication.’
His dedication to protecting the empire is clearly worthy of admiration and praise.
However, Han Tiansheng, influenced by his dedication, looked very dangerous.
