-Beep be …

Lee Myung-hee’s head was full of thoughts. Lee Ha-yool’s face was wrinkled. Even Cheon-ryeo’s battered body was not doing well.

‘It’s really fucking fast…’

The 8th round’s explosive Cheonjeon Ilseom. It is an expanded ability that includes Shin-gung and Cheon-rae, and is the 8th round’s ultimate attack technique.

It’s fast. I felt the same way with arrows and thunderbolts, but Cheongjeonilseom was different.

There is no process between triggering and hitting. It was difficult to recognize even with the power of observation.

‘Power too…’

I responded. I had the information in advance, and the signs were blatant.

I tried to block it as much as possible and even tried to deflect it… No, I couldn’t deflect it. Piljung slammed the slash into Lee Ha-yool.

This is the result. Every part of his body was burned like a tree struck by lightning. Lee Ha-yool, who was falling to the ground, pulled himself up.

-Chiiik…!

The body that was overflowing with life energy immediately began to regenerate. This was the effect of Taishan.

‘Homogeneity, recovery melody, body regeneration.’

Another recovery and regeneration axe was added. The overlapping effects were swirling. The damaged body was rapidly restored.

The remaining lightning in my body is causing seizures and preventing healing. No problem. I used my power to block its movements and melted it with my magic power and swallowed it.

-Kwarrr!

‘Of course there’s no way I’d wait.’

A thick streak of lightning followed.

The output is amazing. Of course, if it hits, you will see blood. Lee Ha-yul swung the Beacon Sword and the Black Iron Sword with his two unharmed hands.

‘A world of change.’

Hwagokjeolgyecheonhaengbaekikjeol

Mid-summer season sunset day, Qingdao Festival

White and red flashes overlapped. Thunderbolts struck and scattered.

Meanwhile, Lee Ha-yul, who had fallen to the ground, threw away the crumbling black iron sword and grabbed the ground.

‘Taesan.’

Kugugung! The ground shook and the surrounding area was wrapped in a circle. It was covered in several layers, and defensive magic was densely layered in between.

Thunderbolt expansion ability

A thunderbolt from the blue sky

Kwarrung! Similar lightning strikes from earlier continued to pour down in dozens and hundreds.

An arrow with a flash of lightning struck. The arrow that passed through the gap exploded. Kwagagang! The defense solidified into a mountain shook like crazy.

Lee Ha-yool clicked his tongue.

‘They’re fighting really dirty.’

The sky pours down thunderbolts. The 8th time the location was updated without warning was observed.

The 8th round of migration is a big set.

The Nunggongcheondo that can fly and jump freely in the sky. The Gungshin Tanyeong that is efficient because it swings in the air.

‘The brain is in a state of flux.’

It is similar to the attribute transformation through movement through thunder.

I can transform my body into lightning and move at super speed, or teleport to where the lightning extends.

‘How the fuck do you catch that?’

If you repeat the same set on top of the already fast lightning… you can perform evasive maneuvers like that.

Kururung! The sky turned bright blue. A sea of thunder spread across the sky.

‘Thunderstorm.’

Controlling the environment with the attribute ability… A technique similar to the long board technique. The long boards gather into one point. Lee Ha-yool held his breath and put both hands together.

Between the palms of his hands, the fear, the sea, and Mount Tai were all distorted and gathered together. The Three Kinds. A proper manifestation, not an abbreviated one.

He stretched both his hands forward. The three-colored bells, which were bumpy, soared through the ceiling.

Divine Palace and Thunder Expansion Ability

A flash of lightning

The loaded Cheongjeonil Island was inserted while stalling for time. The Cheongjeonil Island was struck down straight through the ceiling and three bells were inserted.

-···──!

The swollen black sphere swallowed the sound and thunder. Lee Ha-yool nodded, clutching his trembling hands.

‘You can stop Cheongjeonil Island by striking the three bells from the front.’

The side effects are serious, but the third round’s technology is said to have comparable output to the later rounds. That’s how it actually was.

Knock, knock! An eerie sound tickled my senses. It was a familiar feeling. So was what happened.

‘ah.’

My body fell down.

A scene of space being shattered. To be honest, I didn’t really feel it the last time I saw it, but now it’s all in my head.

The ground and the sky were torn apart like shards of glass. Lee Ha-yool, who fell into the shattered space, spread his wings.

The outside of the wall was the same as what had been observed before. A heterogeneous space with different darknesses and flowing spaces.

-Pok

[?]

Lee Ha-yool blinked.

The moment I tried to keep my balance, thin arms wrapped around my waist and calves. Immediately afterwards, a soft sensation supported my body.

I raised my head slightly. Although I couldn’t see the eyes, I observed purple eyes staring intently at my face.

“… Again, this happens again… ”

[Et]

The person who accepted this rate was the Vice President, Venus Latera. A look of bewilderment appeared on Lee Ha-yul’s face.

[Why is the Vice President here…]

“I was waiting just in case. I’m glad I was waiting.”

The Vice President tilted his head back. Above his head, rather than the sky, he saw a wall with a hole in it that had been torn apart.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

[ah]

Venus hugged Yiharul tightly. She wrapped one hand around his waist and opened her empty hand. Kwarung! The thunderbolt that was about to pour out was blocked.

“Hmm.”

Venus tilted her eyebrows. The force with which she was knocking on the wall was unusual. The moment she was about to apply more force, lightning flashed.

Buhwa Brain. The 8th car appeared in front of the wall and started to protest. Kwaang! An arrow pierced through the wall and came rushing in.

[I─]

-Ugh

“Stay still.”

Venus, who was pressing Lee Ha-yul’s head with one hand, blinked.

Light flickered in the dull purple eyes. It kept appearing like constellations with grains of light.

[uh?]

At the familiar sound, Ha-Yul took a deep breath. Venus twisted her body. She narrowly missed the arrow’s trajectory.

An arrow passed before her eyes. Venus’ eyes followed the arrow until the very end. Squeak! The arrow twisted. The arrow, breaking the laws of physics, aimed for her eyes.

-Tch! Tch!

The space containing the arrow was isolated, as if glass had been glued together in a mess. Venus snapped her fingers.

Kikkik…! The isolated space twisted. Soon, it crumpled into a dot and disappeared along with the arrow.

“That’s a really expensive arrow.”

The 8th time, who had come out of the space, spoke. Venus did not respond, but took out her staff from the air and grabbed it.

The 8th round shrugged.

“I have no intention of fighting with you in the cradle.”

The lightning released by the 8th round spread through the darkness. Venus, who had retreated to avoid the lightning, swung her staff.

A black and white dot that appeared in the darkness was struck by lightning.

Woohoo! Just like before, it swallowed the thunderbolt and disappeared while crumpling up space.

The body swelled as if it was struck by lightning. As the already strong output surged, the wall that had been touched by the lightning began to melt away.

I didn’t miss that moment.

One of the lightning bolts that split in all directions pierced through the wall. Soon, the 8th vehicle, riding the lightning bolt to Buhwanoedong, escaped outside the wall.

“What.”

Venus’ eyes widened slightly. It was moving at an incredible speed. It was difficult to perceive even with these eyes.

“Tsk.”

Venus clicked her tongue as she saw the direction the thunder was headed. She followed behind him, folding the space.

[it’s okay]

“Yes?”

Meanwhile.

Lee Ha-yool, who was buried in his arms, squirmed. Venus pressed down on his head, but this time he did not accept it obediently.

Lee Ha-yool, who had escaped from the gear box, shook his head.

[It’ll be okay. So let me go. It’s still a trial, and I can handle it.]

“I have difficulty understanding what you are saying.”

The vice president narrowed his eyes slightly.

“As the Vice President of the school, I have a duty to protect the cadets. Of course, my top priority is Cadet Lee Ha-yul, but I cannot stand by and watch other cadets being targeted.”

[Yes, that’s right. It’s okay.]

Lee Ha-yool exhaled deeply and rubbed the corner of his mouth. Lee Ha-yool shook his head, wiping away the yellow particles that flowed instead of blood.

[Even if it’s not okay… I’ll make it okay]

Ta-da! My hair stood on end and a lightning bolt flashed across my head.

***

Snowy area inside the Tower of Growth.

It was exactly the place Baek A-rin had imagined. It was similar to the place she had entered as a tourist attraction last year.

The land is a hard frozen ground, with blizzards swirling around. There are sharp snow-capped mountains and large valleys.

‘It might be a 4th level chin-up.’

Baek A-rin, who had retrieved the window, jumped.

The monster she was standing on stumbled and fell to the ground. Boom! The snow piled up on the ground rippled.

A snowman with pure white fur, three or four times larger than her.

Baek A-rin shrugged her shoulders as she saw snow piled up on the exposed dirt from the battle, and her eyes and fur turning a reddish color.

‘I will definitely grow.’

I’ve only just entered, but I’ve already encountered the 4th level. If you keep wandering around, you’ll see many more like this.

“Huh?”

Baek A-rin, who was checking the plan, suddenly tilted her head back. The moment she blinked with a subtle premonition, the sky flashed.

A blue line was drawn in the sky.

Kwarrurung! The snow field shook at the sound that came late. My eyes widened at the tremendous power that hit my skin.

‘lightning?’

It’s not just lightning. Its nature is quite familiar. Daera’s brain… It’s a unique ability that makes you think it’s thunder.

Something is different. Similar, but not the same. Baek A-rin narrowed her eyes and looked up at the sky.

A gaping hole appeared in the sky where the lightning had subsided.

-Whoosh!

Lightning struck through the hole.

The snowfield shook and then exploded. Dirt, rocks, and snow mixed together and flew. Baek A-rin aimed her spear at the snow that rose like a cloud of dust.

My eyes sank. I saw a man in them.

Black hair stands out against the pure white background. The facial features visible beneath it…

Baek A-rin blinked her eyes.

“… Mr. Ha-Yul… ?”

no.

Baek A-rin immediately denied what she was muttering. It wasn’t Lee Ha-yool.

But, it was so similar that it was a bit confusing for a moment.

Wow! The snowstorm has stopped around here.

Baek A-rin’s face hardened. Her shoulders instinctively trembled.

A terrible killing intent poured out on Baek A-rin, pushing away like a blizzard.

“… Ppuduk.”

The 8th time, my teeth clenched. My chest erupted with emotions. My hair stood on end and my brain started to spin.

Before I knew it.

The bow was pulled to its limit. Condensed thunderbolts rippled.

‘Can you kill me?’

It’s a bit difficult.

This is inside the Tower of Growth. No matter how much you destroy the body, it is useless. You have to pierce the ‘soul’ that is truly the same and strike it with lightning.

It’s difficult, but it’s possible.

What if it misses? That kind of thinking is funny. It will definitely hit the mark. There is no way it will miss.

The demonstration was pulled. Now, if you let go, arrows and thunderbolts will naturally fly.

It’s simple.

It was the same back then.

When he came from behind. When he lifted his cloak. When he grabbed a spear and aimed it.

It wasn’t difficult to kill Baek A-rin.

But that wasn’t the case.

No, I couldn’t.

“… … ”

My hands were stiff. I didn’t feel the cold at all, but my body was frozen. A moment of hesitation caught the hand that was pulling the bow.

-Tsk tsk!

At that moment, lightning flashed in the 8th round’s eyes. He jumped up from his seat following the clear signal.

Boom! Lightning struck where he was standing.

“What is it?”

A fierce lightning bolt blasted from the sky… It was thunder.

‘It’s not my fault.’

It was unique. It was heterogeneous, but distinguishable.

The thunderbolt split and struck the 8th. The moment the 8th pulled back, a pure white arm suddenly shot out from within the thunderbolt.

It’s not one.

A clear pair of arms. Three pairs of translucent arms. A distinct uniqueness rose from each of the weapons held.

-Tsk tsk!

Thunderbolts also appeared. The rapidly accelerating weapons aimed for the vital points. The flagship’s 8th round detonated thunderbolts.

“Huh!”

Thunderbolt struck. The 8th time, he spread out his cloak. Even so, it was an item made from the leather of a 2nd-tier monster. It was much better than average defensive equipment.

Kwak-kak! The scythe that was swung down only scratched the cloak, not tore it. It widened the distance between them.

“What the hell.”

The 8th time, he spat it out with a cold face.

The place where it fell. The thunder that had been rushing towards the 8th time rippled and then condensed into a single point.

Lee Ha-yool, holding a black bow, was revealed. Whoosh! The thunderous thunder was slowly calming down and forming into an arrow.

A unique ability that is familiar to me. A familiar… tuning process.

The 8th round has opened.

Magic friendly expansion ability

Homogenization-Thunderbolt

“… Are you actually a space monster? You seem like a worse bastard than Topju.”

[Spitting in my own face]

Lee Ha-yool, with her lips pursed, started protesting.

Similar expansion capability

Cheongjeonil Island

The sound couldn’t keep up. The eyes couldn’t keep up either. No, even with the superior eyes of the 8th time, it came too fast.

It’s his skill. I’ve been using it very usefully.

Since I was directly affected by it, I started to curse at that speed. The 8th episode of Evil Words was like a thunderbolt.

It looks like it’s not a nuclear power plant. It can react. If so, it can be avoided by using the hatching brain.

-Tch!

Just before that.

Ice thorns rose from the ground.

The elbow that he swung reflexively shattered the thorn aiming at his back. The scattered lightning blew away the cold air pouring in from all directions.

‘ah.’

It was an overreaction. Even though it was a big deal, I could have just left it to the cloak once or twice…

“Oh my… ”

Baek A-rin, who had her spear planted on the floor. The face of the 8th person who saw her was horribly crumpled.

-Kwarreung!

Thunder struck. The world flashed and roared.

“Ouch!”

The 8th round, which barely managed to reduce the damage by putting on a cloak, bounced around the floor like a water drop, unable to completely resolve the damage.

“Who is that person?”

In the meantime.

Baek A-rin calmly approached Lee Ha-yool, who had frozen after shooting an arrow.

[… … ]

Lee Ha-yul couldn’t answer and just made a trembling expression.

[The unique ability “Heaven?” grows]
