episode_0023

“Hahahahahahahahahaha!! Are you relying on such trivial information!!”

“Are you splitting it by yourself? Let me know too. Then we can split it together.”

“Hahahahahaha!! Yes, I will show you special mercy!”

Lucian took the empty bottle out of his pocket and shook it.

“This is a unique elixir for our tribe. If you drink it, you will become several times stronger than before for 30 minutes.”

“……Even if you dope and make a mess of it, seven is the most you can do?”

“Shut up!!!”

Lucian reacted violently to the sharp criticism that suddenly came.

It seems like he has a complex about his lack of ability.

“Fuck, that’s a bunch of drug dealers. Do they give out samples when you go to a club where the punks are?”

“Don’t treat me like a cheap drug!! You have to purify the water containing the leaves of the World Tree every day for 30 years to obtain one bottle!”

It is quite a valuable item at that level.

It’s not something that a freeloader like that can easily have.

“You didn’t bring it officially, you brought it secretly, right?”

“Oh, no. I just brought a few bottles just in case, since no one else needed them”

No, really?

“I thought it was trash, but it was fucking trash. You didn’t make it, your mom probably did.”

“Oh, no. I helped a little bit too!”

It would make more sense for me to escape Ada within 100 episodes.

It’s absolutely impossible, so I’m going to be more aggressive.

“Who are you helping? That’s fucking sick, you idiot.”

“Stop it!”

“That would have been quite difficult to make.”

“It won’t be that hard…”

Lucian answers with some uncertainty.

The more I do this, the more powerful my words become.

“Which asshole stole all the hard-earned potion I was trying to make and give to my children one by one?”

“Stop it!!!!!!!!!!”

Once again a groan was heard from the stands.

A small, clear sob.

‘Be filial, you little shits.’

But, the tribe is manufacturing doping drugs themselves?

The leaves on the pond were not lotus flowers, but coca leaves.

“I will not forget this humiliation I received from Danmyeongjong.”

“If you’re going to Futaba Park, take the little guys there with you.”

“I won’t kill you nicely!!!!!”

Two vines wrapped around my ankles and held me in place before I could react.

This time I didn’t notice at all.

At that moment, the number above the nobleman’s head went up again.

‘No, you crazy idiot. How many times do you have to regress?’

He quickly grabbed one of the two remaining axes and cut off the two trunks.

As soon as the stem breaks, it instinctively flies backwards.

The moment it hits the ground and dust rises, five trees rise sharply.

Exactly where I was just a moment ago.

Only then did the red number above Lucian’s head increase by one.

“You’re faster than you look, just die!”

“I’ll give you that shit back, for fuck’s sake.”

Check the remaining weapons.

2 axes. 3 daggers. 12 incendiary grenades.

I was planning to use it a little later, but if I save it, it won’t be enough for me to eat or drink.

This time, he jumps forward and throws a grenade diagonally upward into the air.

The last three remaining daggers shoot out simultaneously towards the front.

It puts a little strain on my wrist, but I can bear it.

Meanwhile, Lucian’s number above his head went up by one.

Immediately afterwards, trees began to grow diagonally in front of me on both sides.

It looks like it would be easy to grab and jump over.

but.

‘It’s cold.’

There was one thing that caught my eye.

Unlike the five trees that had sprouted a little while ago, this one is quite slow.

I quickly decided it was bait.

So what I chose to do instead of jumping over was to slide through the space below in the middle.

As I passed by, three trees had grown up and formed a piercing shape.

If I had chosen the path of jumping over it, I would have been skewered without a doubt.

‘…I almost lost, really.’

Just before I get up, I glance at the position of my weapon to check.

The only weapons you can pick up right away are a semi-automatic shotgun and a longsword.

It wasn’t bad.

Lucian, on the other hand, had a red number go up above his head.

When his trick didn’t work, he quickly became expressionless.

“On the topic of short-lived species, one lifeline seems to be a long-lived species!!”

“Please shut up. My heart is pounding in real time.”

As he stands up, he picks up the semi-automatic shotgun and longsword that were on the floor with his left and right hands respectively.

He holds the sword in his right hand in reverse, mounts the semi-automatic shotgun on his shoulder, and fires all five rounds remaining in the magazine.

– Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Just a moment ago, the wooden trap that Lucian had designed with his stupid head was still disappearing.

In addition, two trees grew to block the shotgun blast that had just been fired.

A total of seven plants have grown.

At that moment, with a hiss, the shotgun split in two.

The wind spirit shot a blast of wind and destroyed the shotgun.

It was a little disappointing, but it was okay.

‘But you used up all the wood, you punk?’

He spins the longsword he was holding in reverse, turns it into a sword, and immediately strikes it.

Towards Lucian’s neck.

But the numbers above Lucian’s head started to rise, and Lucian started to laugh.

‘Please, just hit me once. I’ll stab you gently.’

The tip of the sword suddenly changed direction.

This is also due to the spirit’s interference.

Thanks to that, it ended up slightly brushing Lucian’s right shoulder instead of his neck.

“It’s useless!”

But it was a barely earned opportunity.

It can’t end like this.

The attack is blocked, but he doesn’t stop and firmly grabs Lucian’s collar with his left hand.

Then he tried to press the blade of his longsword against Lucian’s neck.

“Didn’t you say it was useless!!”

Once again, it was a spirit that faithfully blocked my attacks.

Thanks to this, the blade cannot approach Lucian’s neck at all within a certain distance.

He started to push Lucian back in that state in order to damage him in any way possible.

“Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!”

“Stop splitting it. I really want to split your head.”

“If you can split it, split it. What are you going to do by pushing it like this?”

Once again, the spirit pushed me away.

The distance between me and Lucian widened once again.

The only good thing is that it was pushed back less than before.

‘Fuck, that thing is a real performance killer, seriously.’

But the efforts were not in vain.

At first, one of the incendiary grenades I threw diagonally landed between me and Lucian.

Run quickly and pick up the dropped grenade.

At the same time, remove the safety catches from all incendiary grenades you have.

I trusted the defensive performance of the defensive court and ran straight to Lucian.

“Allahu Akbar!”

“Get out!!!!”

“You’re going to die here with Huu!!!”

– Cheeek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A brilliant light so bright that it seemed as if one was going blind emerged from the training ground.

Lucian’s urgent voice is heard in a situation where even the visibility is unclear.

“Hey, stop making a fuss and get out!!!”

With Lucian’s roar, the wind spirit fired a powerful shockwave in all directions.

Thanks to that, I got pushed away again.

Further than before.

As I get up, I unfasten the now useless incendiary grenade belt and throw it away.

A situation where a large cloud of dust was raised due to the spirit’s shockwave, obscuring vision.

I began to pray earnestly in my heart.

‘I’m going crazy because of the coat specs, so please just give up, you punk.’

But they say that prayers are not originally answered.

Someone in the stands shouted loudly.

“Did you get it?”

“Hey, you fucking punk, for real!”

Unfortunately, Lucian was still alive.

The flames that I hoped would move from my body towards Lucian did not fulfill their purpose.

The trees that had grown back just in time perfectly protected Lucian’s body in a tangled manner.

However, Lucian’s face at the moment looked extremely tired and haggard.

He was breathing heavily, perhaps due to the recoil from using his abilities in succession.

‘My situation is no different from theirs.’

Even though I have a lot of stamina, I am not willing to accept an unfair trade of stamina.

I’m already starting to feel tired.

The armed situation was not very good either.

His only weapons are the longsword in his right hand and the two axes on his waist.

Plus, the color of the coat has changed a little bit due to the crazy thing he did a little while ago.

From glossy black to simply dull black.

The defensive performance has disappeared.

For a moment, I lamented that the defensive performance was only up to this level, but I soon changed my mind.

‘It’s a good thing he’s still alive after doing that crazy thing.’

But there was absolutely no chance of winning.

I felt stuffy and anxious.

At that moment, a woman’s voice began to ring in my head.

A voice that I have never heard before and that feels somewhat mysterious.

[Do you want power?]

‘?????’

[He asked if I wanted power.]

I cheered inside.

I thought it had finally come.

‘You came, damn it! I’m the main character now!’

I calmed my excitement and answered calmly.

But the desire stirring within those words could not be hidden.

‘Yes, I want the strength to overcome this situation.’

[Okay. Just do exactly what I say.]

‘of course.’

Ah, the basic part of a novel is the main character’s awakening scene.

I can’t stand this.

I smiled sinisterly and stared at Lucian.

Lucian looked as if he was startled by my sudden change in appearance.

He didn’t even think about attacking me, he just stared blankly.

Even the stadium was suddenly overwhelmed by the changed atmosphere, and silence fell.

[Follow me. I am!]

“I!”

[I declare it here and now!]

“I declare it here and now!!”

He opens his mouth again, pointing the tip of his sword at Lucian.

[Dye this hand with blood!]

“This hand, dyed in blood!”

[I will step on your corpses and climb up!]

“I’ll step on your corpses and climb up!”

[From now on, listen to what I say and be afraid!]

“From now on, listen to what I say and be afraid!”

As I said, everyone seemed a little scared.

Of course.

The protagonist’s awakening is enough to instill fear in everyone.

[Raise your hands towards the sky and shout: Status Window!!!]

“Status Window!!!”

[SYSTEM!!!]

“System!!!”

[Status!!!!!!]

“Status!!!!!!”

It was quiet.

Nothing appeared.

All that exists is the silence that dominates the stadium.

After about 20 seconds, I started to think something was strange.

‘What? Does awakening of abilities happen without any feeling?’

[….Phew..]

‘??????????

[Pfft, phew, phewhahahahahahaha]

‘What the hell, what the fuck. What the hell is going on?’

[Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!! Is there a retard here who imitates me?]

uh?

At that moment, Kyou-Kyou and Hye-Ji’s voices were heard.

When I turned around, Kyou-kyo was holding his stomach and Hye-ji was holding her forehead.

“Shinwoo-chan still hasn’t gotten over his 2nd year of middle school syndromewww”

“Ha, what the hell happened to me…”

Meanwhile, Yerim was looking at me with a very pitiful look.

A gaze that seems to be that of a patient suffering from mental illness.

“Well… Shinwoo, if you’re feeling a little uneasy, I’ll introduce you to a doctor I know.”

ah.

What the fuck.

Everyone except for three was dumbfounded.

I was desperately looking for the woman who had been laughing at me with bloodshot eyes.

Then I found it in the back stands.

A woman is smiling with her hands on her temples and her eyes closed.

‘It’s you. You piece of shit.’

There was no hesitation.

Only anger ruled me.

◦ ◦ ◦ Go !!!!

Lucian, who was shivering in place as I swung my axe, was more ferocious than any other sight in the world.

Of course, in my current situation, I didn’t have the luxury of worrying about such things.

Lucian, you’re out.

If you don’t want to fall behind.

The axe, which was flying at a fierce speed towards the woman in the audience, was soon blocked by a translucent protective shield.

“Tsk, is that a barrier?”

“That little shit used telepathy on my head.”

A moment later, the Goddess of Fake Awakening was dragged out of the training ground.

The female student was screaming loudly until the moment she was dragged out.

“저 개새끼가 서포터를 도구라고 했다고!!!!!!”

“I want just revenge!!!!!”

The duel resumed after a bit of commotion.

Of course, I couldn’t retrieve the axe I threw earlier.

‘Fuck, I just blew up the weapon.’

When I was in second year of middle school, I did something stupid and ended up in a mental hospital.

PTSD is really starting to kick in, for real.

He vowed to himself that he would soon be teaching etiquette at the academy with an axe.

I miss someone desperately.

‘Ian Percus… I miss you today.’

***

“Uh….Shall we begin?”

“Yeah.”

Lucian suddenly started using formal language.

But it wasn’t that important, so I tried to ignore it and started concentrating on the fight.

I forced my trembling legs to move forward and ran towards Lucian.

With his left hand he picks up the last remaining axe from his waistband and throws it.

This time too, the spirit blocked it without fail.

‘It’s weaker than before.’

Certainly, the spirits are tired too.

Unlike the first time, it was blocked only about an inch away from Lucian.

Even the axe didn’t bounce far and landed at Lucian’s feet.

This is a very good sign for me.

Meanwhile, four plants rush in to block my approach.

However, there was a change from before.

A dull, twisted appearance, like rotten wood.

The flying speed was also significantly reduced compared to before.

‘It’s worth a try.’

I dodged a tree flying towards my head and slapped my side with my gauntleted hand.

A tree that breaks and falls without any strength.

With that level of durability, there was no reason to be afraid anymore.

A tree flying towards the chest punches straight ahead.

The tree that raises its foot and aims for the right ankle is brought down as it is.

Finally, the tree targeting my left flank.

This time, I quickly run away while twisting my body to dodge.

‘It’s working!’

To kill the momentum of my rush, Lucian grew a large tree that he had seen at first in front of him.

And then Lucian mutters the spell again.

‘I like the easy choice too.’

With a large tree in front of you, throw the expired coat to the left.

At the same time, throw your body to the right, opposite to the direction in which you threw the coat.

Lucian urgently reaches out his hand towards the black coat that suddenly appears.

– Shhh!!

Once again, the blade of wind sticks into the coat.

But since it was a good item, it didn’t tear, but flew far away and rolled on the ground.

From afar, I thought I heard Hyeji shouting, “That’s too bad!”, but winning was the priority right now.

While running to the right, turn again.

He swung his sword with all his might towards Lucian to drive the wedge in.

‘It’s really over!’

However, there were two problems.

One is that I was so excited that my judgment was momentarily clouded.

Another thing is that the number above Lucian’s head went up by one more.

The price was dire.

What I saw as I swung my sword was not Lucian’s neck.

Two vines flying towards me like whips.

‘Oh, that’s right. There were seven in total.’

I went back and saw it, damn it.

I should have been better at counting numbers.

– Bam!!!!

“Aaah!!!”

Hit by a vine and bounce off, rolling on the ground.

The only good thing is that he didn’t put down his sword.

But the rest was the worst.

I have no more weapons.

My physical condition was the worst. Getting up was nearly impossible.

Even the five vines that had grown without me noticing began to tie me up.

Both hands. Both legs. And the torso.

Finally, there was Lucian, walking towards us with an axe that had fallen to the ground.

“This is really disgusting. Fighting like this”

“If you find it gross, let it go. I don’t like tentacle-like things.”

“Let’s finish it.”

Lucian raises his axe above his head.

The next blow is a downward strike.

Did that mean it was the end? Every moment started to move very slowly.

I muster up my last bit of strength and raise my right arm.

A little freedom regained through the slightly broken vines.

To ensure that freedom is not wasted, he places the tip of his sword against the blade of his axe.

It was half a gamble.

A gamble with the hope that the axe blade will slide across the sword blade.

But my luck ran out and the axe blade neatly betrayed my expectations.

Instead, the tip of the sword is cut very cleanly.

‘Fuck, I can’t lose to this kid.’

In a few seconds, the axe that cut through the sword would be stuck in me.

I sense a complete defeat.

At that moment.

The world stopped.

No one moved.

I couldn’t hear anything.

The only thing that moves is my thoughts.

At the same time, a frail woman’s voice began to ring in my head.

[Do you want to win?]

‘?’

[He’s asking if you want to win.]
