Academy Gumiho is a Magical Genius Episode 289

Infinite (4)

Merak.

From bottom to top.

It is used to deliver a decisive blow when the opponent approaches.

The technique accurately split Baek Seok-ho’s chest.

A vivid sensation of cutting through flesh, blood vessels, organs, and bones.

It was an attack that would have killed a normal mine instantly.

If my physical condition had been the same as before, I was sure that an ordinary mine or even a few nobles would have been killed in one stroke with this technique.

However, it is truly unfortunate that the power of swordsmanship displayed by a weakened body is lacking.

It fell short of my expectations.

Boom─!

Baek Seok-ho’s hand was pointed at me.

He priced the shield surrounding me.

Short, thick blows.

I was protected by a shield, and my body was pushed back with a dull sensation. The blow was so powerful that I flew farther than I thought.

─Are you okay?! You just flew across the building!

“……I defended myself and wasn’t seriously hurt.”

─Then quickly cover your eyes. There’s blood coming out of your eyes right now… …!

“I know you don’t have to explain it in a roundabout way. Is there something unfolding in front of me that I shouldn’t see?”

For example.

“Hey, it looks like you’re a pervert or something.”

─… … You know so well.

“I’ve dealt with people like that many times before.”

When you start to push, you transform.

I’m talking about those kinds of people.

Baek Seok-ho, who had allowed my weak attack, had now abandoned his human form.

In fact, it was funny that Mine had a human-like appearance.

The mines are a race that has abandoned humanity.

Even though the untalented ones had given up on being human, their appearance and behavior were not much different from humans.

The only difference was that instead of magical power, his heart and blood vessels were filled with demonic energy. Oh, and he also had the unique characteristic of having his eyes completely black, without any distinction between the whites of his eyes and his sclera.

Anyway, other than that, there’s nothing.

But I have seen many high-ranking mines so far.

Barons and Viscounts. Not a bunch of people who play around with worthless titles, but individuals who truly pose a threat to the survival and security of humanity.

I’m talking about real exhaust maniacs.

“You’ve changed again. Now the black fox from just now looks like a fairy.”

I released the shield to secure my view.

At the same time, Baek Seok-ho, who had turned ugly, came into view.

Not wanting to miss this opportunity, he teased Baek Seok-ho, who was proud of his pure white body hair.

“Your ancestors now look like cicadas. Why don’t you cut off the fox tails near your waist? With eight of them, they look like octopuses.”

They laughed and teased me a lot.

But there was no actual response.

“In the world, people like you are called Marquis.”

The higher the level of the mine, the more distant from humans there are.

To that extent, it’s a Marquis.

Oh, maybe it’s a peacock.

“The stronger the mine, the higher the status of the mine, the greater the changes.”

For most mines, the change happens internally.

In that case, you gain abnormal regenerative abilities and your abilities evolve.

In Baek Seok-ho’s case.

“Partial changes in the body.”

The lightning became more powerful though.

That is because the magical power that creates lightning has been replaced with magic, boasting greater destructive power.

The ability has not evolved.

Baek Seok-ho’s body has changed.

Rather than completely shedding the human body.

The basic base was human, but it changed into a form that transformed the body as needed. This guy was exactly that case.

Look at that bastard’s appearance right now.

“Your fingers are so long like taffy. No, they’re not. If you were to stretch your fingers from the roof of a building, there wouldn’t be any fingers that would reach the ground.”

Rather than a stick.

“I think it would be more correct to call them tentacles rather than fingers. Do you think so too?”

Now, it is safe to say that the fingers on Baek Seok-ho’s hand are tentacles.

Baek Seok-ho swings ten tentacles in total, five in each hand.

It’s really dirty and disgusting.

If you swing your sword in disgust and try to cut off your finger,

Chaeng─!

Instead, the sword bounced off.

It was fine, whether it was a finger or a tentacle, and rather, it was so hard that sparks flew the moment I tried to cut it with my sword.

Damn it, even magically forged alloys aren’t this hard.

There’s nothing I can do.

Swish, I lifted my sword and poured a lot of magic power onto it.

‘Bend.’

A very simple thought that anyone who holds a sword would have.

Based on this thought and mindset, magical power is processed.

The will or intention that is commonly referred to.

The magical power processed with such an idea became black energy.

Soon, the energy became filled with starlight.

The azure of the Big Dipper. The energy eventually filled the river.

In an instant, a sword was created.

Baek Seok-ho was so surprised by the natural use of energy that he took a deep breath. He was so surprised that his breathing, which had been proceeding naturally, became tangled.

“You made the river that simple so quickly?”

“It’s a trick I learned because I used it so often.”

“It’s a bumper crop!”

The fingers that had transformed into tentacles were a weapon that surpassed human common sense.

A tentacle that is sharp, strong, flexible, and can adjust its length freely. With lightning-fast speed and the ability to actually wrap lightning around the tentacle, a crazy club was born.

If you knock on the ground, the ground will break.

When trees and buildings are hit, they turn to dust.

Although it was so threatening and powerful, it was somehow pushed back without being able to sense the pulse when it collided with the sword containing the pure white starlight.

“What kind of power can you wield so freely……!”

Among the countless number of warriors, only a small number, less than the number of stars visible in the sky, can light their swords with starlight.

That’s the strong one.

Baek Seok-ho, before he became what he is now, was a master of creating strong energy with a spear. Furthermore, he was not simply a beginner in the art of strong energy, but a master of it.

That’s why Baek Seok-ho also knew a lot about Kang-gi.

Even now that he has fallen into the world of magic, he still swings his tentacles with lightning made of magic mixed with the magic power of strong energy.

Of course, you have to know it well.

however.

“It’s the same strength! Why is there such a difference?!”

He strengthened his twisted body with magic, surrounded it with lightning, and swung it with his strong energy.

Even though he swung all ten tentacles simultaneously and launched a chain attack, his opponent was able to block all ten tentacles by concentrating his energy on one sword.

In the beginning, he didn’t even have the sparks that used to tease him.

He fought against all the tentacles with only one pure white energy.

At that time, Baek Seok-ho could never acknowledge the current tense situation.

I didn’t become a mine to fight this tensely!

To crush the opponent with overwhelming force.

He has come this far to become the head of a household through his own efforts alone.

Baek Seok-ho began to swing his tentacles faster and more precisely, drawing out all his strength. And now he began to actively use his feet as well.

It is a lightning-like kick that is launched through the gap created by swinging the tentacles.

As I was blocking and dodging all those attacks, I felt like my stamina was reaching its limit. It seemed like it was going to be a do-or-die situation.

There’s nothing I can do.

‘Tamamo. Step back for a moment.’

─What are you trying to do?

‘It’s hard to form an image when someone is around.’

She, who had been assisting me with her magic and protecting me from fierce kicks and terrifying lightning strikes, left my side for a moment.

It’s gotten quite a distance.

A moment when you feel alone because no one is by your side.

All my nerves were focused on the sword.

It wasn’t just the sword in his hand that he was concentrating on.

Anything that was a sword would be fine. My mind and images were filled with swords, and before I knew it, I let go of the pure white sword from my hands.

Now I don’t have a sword in my hand.

There was no physical means to repel the tentacles.

Then, shape your heart into a sword.

What’s the big deal about a famous sword?

If I become a sword myself, that’s it.

At that time, I was lost in deep thought.

───!

A tentacle flew in.

I stared blankly at the tentacle that was aiming for my heart.

When no response was made, the tentacles accelerated even further.

The moment when the heart reaches the tentacles’ reach.

Crunch!

I heard the sound of squid legs being cut.

The tentacles that couldn’t be cut no matter how much I swung my sword were cleanly cut and fell to the ground.

But strangely enough, there was nothing in his hand.

I didn’t feel any signs of magic.

The moment I thought about cutting it, the tentacles were cut off.

“Spiritual.”

It is no exaggeration to say that this ability lies at the very end of swordsmanship.

No, this wasn’t something that could be grouped into words like swordsmanship, realm, or ability. The mind sword was a kind of power.

It was a power that any unmanned entity could reach and grab.

Ironically, it was the first time that Baek Seok-ho, who was considered one of the top ten martial artists of his time, had heard of it.

“That’s ridiculous! Wasn’t the ultimate martial arts the Formless Sword?!”

“……That can’t be.”

“This is the first time I’ve heard of a concept beyond the intangible!”

The formless energy.

Unlike magic, the intangible energy that goes beyond the purity processed by the mind cuts through and crushes everything.

Most weapons made with such intangible materials are shaped to fit the shape of the owner’s favorite weapon.

As there are many inspectors in this world, the common term for them is the Invisible Sword.

Such an invisible sword is the highest realm that a human can reach.

The warriors of that time believed it without doubt.

Baek Seok-ho also thought the same thing.

It had already been ten years since he had started handling the intangible world, but he could never have imagined that there would be a next level.

“You can’t stop me with that kind of trick!”

“Do you think there won’t be any?”

“……!”

Something.

Something feels uneasy.

Baek Seok-ho’s gaze, unable to stop his heart from thumping, turned towards me.

He looked at my face, my fox tail behind me, and my empty right hand in succession, then his expression hardened.

I sensed a strange energy.

“Wow, that’s amazing. I never thought you’d detect the warning signs before swinging your sword.”

I praised him obediently.

But Baek Seok-ho started to run away.

Rather than running away based on rational judgment, he chose to run away because his instincts overrode his reason.

“Judgments may be quick, but that doesn’t mean you can avoid them.”

The mind has no form.

It is not a concept that can be stopped.

It’s the same even if you distance yourself.

I hummed while looking at Baek Seok-ho’s tail.

“The sword is not affected by distance.”

“……!”

“Have you ever seen a human heart limited by distance?”

This is why the Heart Sword is powerful.

In the mind there are no forms or concrete concepts.

Therefore, the heart is sharpened and made into a sword.

Not restricted by distance.

It is not obstructed by space.

Not bound by time.

“A sword that can never be stopped.”

That’s the heart test.

“What kind of irrational martial arts in the world is that……!”

“Irrational. Don’t insult those who walk the path of the mind and body.”

The path of the sword of the heart

The road to the heart.

You don’t necessarily have to shape the shape of your heart with a sword.

Simchang, Simkwon, Simjo.

Anything is possible.

For anyone who walks the path of martial arts, no matter what they practice, they will reach the end.

“They may be weaker than you, but they cross this path with a much stronger spirit than someone like you.”

Even if the road ahead seems rough.

Even if the path you walk is winding.

Anyone who reaches the end of this path, whether weak or strong, will reach the extreme.

If you want to get stronger after reaching the extreme, you can just go back.

When I go there is only one road, but when I look back, tens of thousands of roads are waiting for me.

That’s why it’s called Manryuguijong.

The sword of the mind is called the ultimate in nothingness, located at the extreme of nothingness.

I’m not sure if that concept exists in this world, though.

‘If you don’t know, I’ll show you how to experience it yourself.’

Baek Seok-ho eventually gave up on running away with the lightning due to the anxiety he felt all over his body. However, he did not fight back.

Crunch!

Ten tentacles that replaced the fingers began to tear through the sky, creating a force that transcended space.

Were you hiding something like this?

I couldn’t help but be amazed at the sight that unfolded before my eyes.

Baek Seok-ho’s body, which had created a gap in space with its tentacles and escaped into it, gradually became translucent. The space it was in now was different from mine.

Although Baek Seok-ho appeared translucent, his main body had already taken refuge in a small pocket space that connected space to space.

Certainly, in this state, physical attacks will not work.

… … If only I hadn’t been holding a sword in my hand.

“I told you over and over again. This sword cannot be avoided.”

Even if it transcends space.

Even if the opponent is in an area where contact is impossible.

Such things are not important to the human mind.

If you want to reach, you reach.

Crunch─!

A sword that cuts through space when swung.

The black straight sword that cut into the pocket space also cut off Baek Seok-ho’s leg.

“What nonsense……!”

“There’s a reason why the sword is called the Ultimate Sword.”

Baek Seok-ho, who tried to escape across space like that, lost his quick legs along with the opportunity to escape.

For a high-ranking mine, a part like a leg could be regenerated in the blink of an eye, but the speed at which the bastard regenerated and the speed at which he could swing his sword were identical.

Because the concept of speed does not apply to the mind.

If you wanted to cut it, you could just cut it right away.

Crunch─!

This time again, a clear, crisp sound is heard.

At the same time, Baek Seok-ho lost another leg.

The exact same part that was just cut off.

Because it was amputated immediately after recovery, Baek Seok-ho was unable to confirm with his own eyes that his leg had regenerated.

“Kuaaaaaaah!!!!”

Only the pain felt in my legs.

He regenerated his amputated leg, making it feel like he had been amputated again.
