The Live

Pot, Pop -

Kwa-woong!

A long wielding blade from the bottom up creates an elongated notch on the bottom of the cavity. Elvin's new brother, who was eager to split his body in half, was already gone.

“Damn it!”

Siffman lets out a rather urgent voice and melts back into the bloodstream.

But even before the end of the series, the blood of Muhammad that Elvin was holding flew in his hand.

Kwa-wook!

Muhamad's blood consumes Siffman's bloodshed.

Because of this, Siffman was unable to remove his posture and was forced to quickly exit his body without losing balance.

Evil-

In the process, Siffman's leg was cut deep enough. However, Siffman glances at Elvin as if he won't miss him without groaning once.

Elvin has red eyes and body. It means that photo-explosion was activated through Muhammad's blood.

‘If only it wasn't for that sword...' ’

The imagination about the sword was not too good.

It was all because of that sword that I started pushing little by little.

Siffman grits his teeth.

“You're gonna die here anyway. ”

At that moment, Elvin opens his mouth, dropping Muhammad suddenly.

“As the magic began to leak out, the others at the top should have noticed soon enough. Maybe they're starting to come this way one by one. ”

“So?”

“Let's end this here, without leaving anything to run away from. It's like you have no choice but to look at me like you're an asshole. ”

“Ha, ha ha……. ”

A small smile comes out of Siffman's mouth.

But soon the smile grew bigger.

“Kuhahahaha -!”

He sweeps his head with one hand, and Siffman bursts out a big smile.

It was almost a frenzied smile.

Siffman blindfolds himself for a long time, smiling like a lie.

Then I took a deep breath once and opened my mouth.

“Yes, thank you. I feel so much better now. ”

“Have you decided?”

“Yes. On second thought. Thinking about it, I feel like I've lost my life too much. ”

Siffman straightens up, smiling.

His movements, which had just felt blurry, suddenly became clear again.

Siffman, who was preparing to let himself out at any time, decided that he no longer needed to.

“Let's kill you here, and let's kill them both and get out of here slowly. I guess I thought it was too hard. ”

“I still don't think I understood the words.... ”

Whee!

Ting, Tiding-

Elvin throws the blood of the Muhammad back into his hands.

“I like your posture, though. ”

“Elbin-!"

Lois yells in surprise at Elvin, who draws his sword, leaving Muhamad's blood behind.

His sword was also an excellent top item, but there was nothing as efficient as Muhammad's blood in this situation.

Nevertheless, Elvin gives up his advantage and tries to fight Siffman.

“My ears are ringing. Be quiet. ”

Elvin glances at Siffman with Royse's cry in his ear. He was not as understanding as Royce was.

“You don't have to make that face. Looks like I won the fight with tempo. I need to lose my pride too. ”

“I don't think that's the only reason. ”

“Well, that too……. ”

Elvin's gaze is on Yun Jae, looking at him from behind Royse.

“I have someone who needs to show me how to fight real fights, not tempo. ”

“Cocky……. ”

Kwawu -

“Son of a...! ”

The energy of blood rushes around you, gathering around Siffman's blade.

An overwhelming amount of vitality shifts to magical power and hovers around Siffman's blade.

Elvin watches the figure and mutters in small silence.

“Why are you so stubborn? ”

Ooh, ooh, ooh-

Elvin's sword shed a low tear.

Like Siffman, he draws up all his magic and concentrates on the sword. The vivid blue magic was coalesced and then coalesced and solidified.

That aggregated magical power gradually changed color. The blue magic soon became white and colorless.

What-!

The magic scatters behind Elvin's back. It looks as if the blue wings have spread out.

“Well, I'm pretty confident in one room, actually. ”

Bump-

Thief, blah, blah.

The two of them set out toward each other at the same time.

The floor of the cavity that did not overcome the overwhelming amount of magical power split and began to crumble.

The two magical forces struggled as if they recognized each other as enemies.

I pushed and pushed again, without anyone being stronger or weaker.

“…… This is not good enough. ”

Pasasak-

Royse lays a stack of membranes laid out around her.

Just the wavelength of the magical power that was scattered to the four sides as the two people were fighting immediately was generating a little gold in the membrane.

‘The problem is next. ’

Royse stares at Elvin's face.

I haven't seen a nervous face like that in a long time. Even if he is a skilled flyer, the opposing Pokémon has never been better.

‘Please don't die. ’

Lois closes her eyes and prays to herself.

I hope Elvin is okay every time something like this happens.

Zec, Zec...

Almost simultaneously, the image of Elvin, Siffman and the two of them disappears.

Right after.

Shhhhhhh!

Two different coloured magical forces collided in the center of the cavity.

Ta-da!

“Aah!”

Elvin, wrapped in bandages, screams loudly, not like him.

After wrapping around the bandage, Royse shakes his back with his palms and asks with a voice full of days.

“Does it hurt?"

“A little.”

“What's wrong with a man who knows he's sick? ”

“What am I? ”

Ta-da!

Royse slaps Elvin on the back again with a gentle question. This time, even with magic, Elvin's body collapses forward.

“The patient is dying... …. ”

Royse flinches again at Elvin's thumb.

However, I sighed deeply and muttered.

“Ha, I thought I was going to die. ”

“Isn't that what I was going to say? ”

Elvin sits back on his bed with his arms wide open.

“I'm the one who almost died. ”

“Yes, you. But you're awake. I almost died. ”

Elvin's entire body is covered in scars, large and small.

Besides, it wasn't an ordinary wound. A wound cut from a coagulated blade full of blood mist didn't even heal easily with a dazzling recovery skill.

It was best to wrap this bandage around it and prevent further bleeding.

“I guess I'm the only one who hears it. ”

“Yes, you are. ”

Royse shakes his head as if he couldn't stop Elvin from complaining.

Even though Elvin was wounded like that, so was his opponent, Shiv.

No, it wasn't just an injury.

‘They both lost their minds. ’

It was a horrible situation to reconsider.

When Royse first saw Elvin unconscious with blood all over his body, she only knew he was dead. It was that big of an injury.

The opponent, Siffman, is no different.

Elvin wasn't the only one who lost his mind. The two of them slammed into each other's last momentum, and the result was a draw.

Of course, regardless of the victories of the fight, Siffman's fate was already sealed.

“What are you two doing right now? Have fun.”

Waxak-

The regular person sitting next to the bed said as she laughed at the cookie that had come from somewhere.

Elvin narrows his gaze and laughs as he laughs.

“I don't even know the grace that saved my life. ”

“Heehee.”

Waxak-

Regular smiled and even shoved cookies in his mouth. Yoon Jae squeezed one of his regular heads behind him and asked.

“How are you feeling? ”

“You're good to go. Well, they nag me to take a break. ”

Royce said that again, but soon he saw Yoon Jae's face and endured it. Yoon Jae looks at Royse, who seems to be about to explode.

“And you are? They were both pierced by one hole in the ship. ”

“It's worth living. We've been able to move since yesterday. ”

The healing skills of the other world are far superior to modern ones. Skill heals even a hole in the stomach in half a day.

Of course, that didn't mean we could get the blood back. It was proof that Elvin had lost a lot of blood for two days.

“Glad you could make it. I thought maybe one of you would die. ”

I don't know who to talk to. Who's been hurt worse than a hole in their stomach?

According to Elvin, Yoon Jae smiles beautifully.

“Thank you. Thank you. ”

Yoon Jae blamed himself.

You learn that Murder is targeting you in the clan, and you recognize its presence.

The reason we tried to lure him together was because we thought maybe we could win.

It was insurance, as he said, that left a message asking Elvin for help.

Perhaps if a Muderer who is much stronger than we expected would find himself, we would need his help.

Unfortunately, the opponent was not able to cope with Yoon Jae and his regular enemies, and fortunately, Elvin and Lois were able to help in time. If they hadn't, they'd all be dead.

Elvin accepts a small nod as a thank you, then looks back at Royse and asks.

“What happened to Siffman, by the way? You said you weren't dead.”

“I sealed the magical power and left a chain of reinforced necks all around my body. Maybe it's impossible to get out on magnetism. ”

“You're not going to kill him right away? ”

“That's a lot of information he knows. ”

Siffman was as talented as he was within the clan as he was within five fingers.

Moreover, he was also the person who was the subject of the Dark Mix trials, when the Devil's Seed first appeared. There was just too much information for him to kill.

“Thanks to you two, I was able to catch Siffman. If you interrogate him, you'll know quite a lot. ”

“We didn't catch Siffman. ”

“It would have been impossible if you hadn't pulled Siffman into the basement, and you didn't use the note to call us for help. You two have a lot of balls to catch Siffman. ”

Yun Jae did not deny Royse's words.

Even more denial would not change Royce's mind, and it was good for him or his regular self.

“Well, now that you've seen Elvin's face, we'll be going. I'll come back when I'm better. ”

“A day like this will do you good. Come tomorrow.”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Yoon Jae bowed his head to the two of them and left the room. Regular people also followed behind Yun Jae.

As soon as he regained consciousness, Elvin leaned back to his seat, frowning and frowning.

“Knng, I thought that hurt. ”

“Why are you bluffing, bluffing. ”

“I can't just lie there in front of them. ”

“Ahhh-”

Royse shakes his head, sighing as if he can't stop it. I've been watching Elvin like this for seven years, and it hasn't changed a bit.

“So what was it like? Siffman.”

“What did you see? He looked like a monster. I don't want to fight him twice. ”

Elvin replies with a look of boredom.

He didn't enjoy fighting.

Of course, when it was thought to be a necessary fight, he sometimes overused it, but it was far from the thrilling perverts who crossed the gap of life.

“Those two survived such an opponent? ”

“Wounded. Of course that's because Siffman was careless... ”

The latter was a little hesitant, but Elvin paused.

“I was a little surprised, actually. ”

There were several times when Yoon Jae and regular people were surprised.

No, it's more accurate to say you're surprised every time.

The first time they killed Murderer Dean Alador, the first time they killed Abram, the first time they got information about the Devil's Seed from the Dark Mix.

Even after killing Geoffrey and cutting down the devil's head in Garrian's underground maze.

I was never not always surprised.

But it wasn't this time.

The opponent is Siffman.

A skillful ranker of the highest rankers, some of whom can be called rankers.

It was almost a miracle we survived that Siffman for a few minutes.

‘It's not a miracle, it's skill. ’

Miracles don't just happen.

It's worth it to get up.

In that sense, a real miracle may not exist.

Miracles are made.

“Really...... maybe you're right. ”

“What did I say? ”

“The two of you. ”

Royse turns her head to a visit just before the two of them left.

“A little... I'd like to look forward to it. ”

* * *

After Elvin's visit, Yoon Jae turns to walk down the hall.

“Go ahead. I have to go away for a while. ”

“Where are you going? You're going down the hall again? ”

“Huh."

“How long ago did you almost die and want to go again? You're a real poison. ”

“Not if you don't want to go. ”

“Is there hardly a collapse now? ”

“It doesn't matter. I'll go first. ”

Yoon Jae faces down the stairs, and the normal faces up, the opposite side.

Yoon Jae, who went down the stairs in slow steps, soon arrived in the underground cavity. At the mouth of the cavity was a heap of rocks that collapsed from the ceiling.

Tuck, tuck, tuck.

Yoon Jae walked into the cavity, pushing the rock away with his hands.

Every step of the way, a pile of dust rises from the ground. Yoon Jae, who coughed and coughed, blocked his mouth and nose with his hands.

“What a mess.”

The ceiling and the wall collapsed.

The floor cracks and turns upside down, puncturing all over the place. A larger cavity was completely ruined than the chaotic playground.

It was a duel joint that those of you who are rankers considered to be a duel. Of course, it was a significant place for shock resistance.

And yet, this much.

Ultimate, extremely -

Yoon Jae pushes the giant rock off the ground with her bare hands.

It was a rock more than a handbreadth tall, but it was not so heavy for Yoon Jae who already had the power to reach the top.

Kung-

The sideways rock crashes to the ground, echoing a cavity full of voices.

Yoon Jae looks at the trace beneath the rock.

“… Is this it? ”

Then I turned my eyes around.

The recesses beneath the rock are swept away. The force spreads throughout the cavity, knocking down walls and ceilings and turning the floor upside down.

At the last moment, that was where Elvin and Siffman collided.

Fluffy...

Yoon Jae sat down immediately.

Then I closed my eyes.

Gulp -

Suddenly, I was sweating and my mouth was dry. My hands on my knees are trembling as if I were nervous.

When I close my eyes, I can clearly see the fight that took place here.

It was a blessing.

Yoon Jae hasn't missed a single moment of the battle between Elvin and Siffman. I tried to see and remember the fight that was hard to catch up with.

“Huff, huff -”

Suddenly, Yoon Jae opened his eyes and breathed heavily.

I couldn't breathe unconsciously all the time. It meant that he was that focused.

“I can't keep up. ”

Uh-huh.

Yoon Jae punched the floor with his fist.

Then he raised his hand and put it on his forehead.

‘It's not just about being strong and fast. ’

Elvin and Siffman were definitely strong.

They were stronger, faster, and more magical than themselves.

But that wasn't the only difference.

- What the hell was that?

- Then, how did it move like that?

- Why…….

I felt like the more I overcame the fight, the deeper I fell into the labyrinth.

I tried to understand things that I didn't understand, but if I didn't understand, I repeated it again.

What I did not see was a picture of the process in my mind.

Repeating the series, Yoon Jae stood up with her eyes open.

And…….

Huff, huff, huff.

Saaak -

I reproduced it with my own body.

‘No, no. ’

Yoon Jae followed Elvin's fight.

How he dealt with Siffman, how he dealt with the situation, how he reacted.

The method was closer to the basics of the system, and it was more than fair. It was the exact opposite of a quirky and deceptive Siffman.

Nevertheless, Elvin was strong. Above all, he was faithful to the fundamentals.

“A little more straightforward……. ”

Huh-

You strike the sword straight, without bending.

“Reduce change. ”

Quadduk-

Lean forward and brace your lower body. At the same time, you swing your sword across your waist with a large spin.

Huh-

Imitate Elvin's movements. I felt like something was right but not right for me.

But I still didn't realize anything.

‘Stats aren't the only thing. ’

Stats, skills, and items.

Often in the other world, these three were known as the conditions of strength.

However, these three were not necessarily indicators of unconditional strength.

‘Even if you have the same power and magic, it is ultimately human to deal with it. ’

Power differed by a thousand steps depending on the position in which the same person wielded the sword.

Likewise, the efficiency varies depending on how much movement is minimized by people with the same agility.

Yoon Jae changed his position to swing the sword.

‘This is not my position. ’

Elvin's posture, which had been painted in his head, disappeared.

Yoon Jae put his face on it.

I changed my attitude. I slowly adjusted to a position that was comfortable for me, as if stretching my uncomfortable clothes.

Volcanic - Hook-

Kagagaga-

The user fights with virtual opponents in front of its eyes.

The opponent is Siffman. Of course not.

I cut my throat without a fight. I didn't actually die, so I challenged him again.

More and more time to endure.

‘At this time... ’

Yoon Jae's eyes gradually deepened.

Increased concentration, and the same process was completed at the end.

With the battle between Elvin and Siffman, Yoon Jae gradually set foot into a new realm.
