Academy Gumiho is a Magical Genius Episode 292

Chief (2)

Tentacles that cleverly target their opponents.

A lightning bolt that must be avoided at all costs, creating an opening by force.

Just as you become accustomed to long-range means like tentacles and lightning strikes, a flying kick or palm strike suddenly appears.

Baek Seok-ho’s attacks, which used every means at his disposal, became more and more fierce as time passed.

It seemed that he was gradually becoming accustomed to his changed body and strength.

A dense and sophisticated attack.

However, the power of the attack was diminishing.

We fought for quite some time. It wouldn’t be strange if we lost our strength a long time ago.

Nevertheless, Baek Seok-ho held on with only mental strength.

He was driven by a single desire to kill me.

“Die! Die! Die!”

Lightning strikes with a loud roar.

A sign of anger like a raging wave.

Baek Seok-ho’s cries soon turned into waves of lightning and magic that came crashing down on me.

Kwajik!

The defensive shield that had been set up to protect against attacks from the square was cracked.

The shield hasn’t collapsed yet, but it can only hold out for one more time.

A situation where a new defensive barrier must be deployed again.

Normally, I would have spread it out quickly, but the problem was that my stamina was also depleted.

“……This is a big problem. I don’t think I can make a shield smaller than this.”

The idea was to create one more layer inside the cracked barrier.

But is it because I lack stamina?

Or maybe it was because the altitude was so high and the lack of oxygen made their brains slow, but they couldn’t make anything smaller than the current shield.

─Why don’t you make it bigger?

‘It works, but there are a lot of difficulties.’

─Is that issue more important than the shield? If you don’t have the shield, you’ll be in big trouble because you’ll get pierced by lightning.

‘I know that too, but.’

If you make it big, there are too many resources that need to be invested.

My physical strength is like that right now.

If you deploy a large defensive barrier in your current state, you will inevitably become exhausted.

In addition to that.

‘It’s a question of time and magic.’

─I understand the time, but is magic power a problem? After all, the speed at which magic power recovers is faster than the speed at which it depletes.

‘The problem I’m talking about is the gap in the moment of recovery.’

Due to decreased stamina and lack of oxygen, the casting speed of magic is greatly reduced.

If you deploy a large shield in that state, the casting speed will inevitably slow down.

This part was also an area that Tamamodo could relate to.

But the problem of time was something that Tamamo was able to assist in some way.

She too was quite physically exhausted from the continuous use of magic, but unlike me who was affected by oxygen, she was already dead, so she didn’t have to worry about breathing.

In other words, she had ample room to assist in deploying the shield.

─Then I can help you.

‘Then we just need to solve the problem of magic power.’

─Do you really need to solve that? It’s not like you lack magical power. You’re already maintaining more than 60%.

How much magic power is needed to deploy that shield?

No matter how strong and sturdy the shield is, it never consumes more than 10% of the total magic power.

Even with simple calculations, more than 50% of magic power remains after creating a defensive barrier.

But I don’t know why it comes out like that.

Tamamo didn’t understand me.

‘25%.’

─… … You, no way.

‘I think it would require about 25% of the horsepower.’

─You’re not feeling it right now?

Yeah, I feel like my senses are a little bit messed up right now.

Is it too harsh to say it’s broken?

Let’s purify it and say that the five senses are distorted.

Well, whether it’s broken or twisted, it’s still not normal.

‘Yeah. I’m not doing the math right now.’

Putting a shield on top of a shield.

The two barriers had to be erected so that they did not overlap, but there was no way to determine exactly where the cracked barrier was protecting and where it ended.

If the two shields overlap, the inner shield will be damaged and the outer shield will collapse.

To prevent this, two barriers must be placed at equal intervals.

‘Since the calculations are difficult, we have to make them with ample spacing, and it’s not easy to make a structure that forms a defensive barrier. If we add in the magical power that is wasted meaninglessly in the process, it would be around 25%.’

─Half.

‘That’s right. That’s why I’m worried.’

What should I do?

It would be nice if a good idea came to mind, but it was impossible for a good idea to come to mind when the oxygen was so low that it was difficult to even open up a single shield.

Even in the midst of all this.

thud!

A giant tentacle swung like a whip and aimed for my side.

As I narrowly avoided it, there was another tentacle coming down from above.

Immediately the remaining nine tentacles aimed for the square.

The tentacles aiming at the square are meant to restrict movement, and I can feel their strong will to suppress my movements as much as possible and crush me in one go with that thing falling from above.

Still, whatever.

‘This much is avoidable.’

Swish.

I stepped back while following the law.

I avoided all the tentacles flying from all directions, such as the bottom right and the side of my left foot, with my body movements. I was about to escape the trajectory of the tentacles falling from above.

Boom───!

The belated shock hit the floor.

At that moment, I decided that I would launch an offensive on my side this time, after the exquisite evasion.

Swish!

Something sharp grazed the shield.

Something fast and sharp.

The barrier at the site of the impact was slightly cracked.

As if a blade were cutting flesh.

That something also drew a barrier.

After that, something attacked the shield in bunches.

As several of them hit the shield at the same time, I realized what it was.

“This is a stone.”

Shards of broken stone.

The sharp cross-section of it was cutting through the shield at an incredible speed, not to mention destroying it. It wasn’t that the stone was particularly imbued with magic or spirit, but its mass and quantity were too much.

Unless it’s a shield that was just created.

It wasn’t easy to block it with the already cracked shield.

So I forced magic power into the crumbling shield.

‘Where on earth are they flying from?!’

─Calculate the trajectory that the tentacle just swung along.

‘What are you talking about… … Oh, by any chance, the apartment that was under the tentacles.’

─I would have swung my tentacles wide to precisely direct the debris of the collapsed building towards you.

No, in this melee, you’re even calculating the trajectory that the fallen debris will fly into?

I can do it at the beginning of the fight, but it’s hard to use it when I’m tired like this. As you can see.

‘The talking bastard seems to have a body that remembers.’

It seems like you think with your body, not your head.

After all, if your body is good, your head doesn’t need to suffer.

In that sense, Baek Seok-ho was in great shape.

My already good body got even better after I became a mine.

It’s to the point where you don’t even need a brain.

On the contrary, I am not feeling well and my head is suffering.

‘Should I also move instinctively?’

─Arthur. Right now, that guy’s senses and instincts far surpass those of a beast.

‘I have good senses too.’

In terms of sense, I can proudly say that it is the best in the world.

I don’t know about my other physical abilities, but my senses have reached a level infinitely equal to my original body, so even if I move instinctively without reason, my senses that have reached a divine level will assist me.

but.

─Can you defeat that beast with instinct? Look at those bloodshot eyes. They’re unfocused now.

‘……cancellation.’

Beastly senses.

Beastly instincts.

The abilities of animals are truly extraordinary.

Maybe it’s because Baek Seok-ho also gave up being human and became a beast.

It changed quite intuitively.

It is clear that my sense level is higher and better than Baek Seok-ho’s now.

However, unlike me, whose body did not fully follow along even though he had a good feeling, Baek Seok-ho fully showed off his instincts based on his overwhelming physical ability.

‘This is going to break any minute.’

─There are 17 seconds left. No matter how much magic power you put into it to maintain it, it will naturally collapse because it is damaged too much.

‘I guess so. … … You know, could this possibly be used for fishing?’

─What are you going to do?

What should I do?

If that guy acts like a beast, we need to set up a plan to punish him accordingly.

‘No additional shields will be added until the shield is released.’

─You… … !

The moment when the shield is released and you become defenseless.

Baek Seok-ho will never miss that moment.

Baek Seok-ho, who has lost his reason and is acting on instinct, will practice all kinds of methods to kill me.

In the process, he will naturally develop weaknesses.

As the saying goes, when you kill someone, you must be prepared to die yourself.

When a master of a certain level kills another master, he also gives up something.

It may mean giving up your defenses, or it may mean exposing your weaknesses.

The same goes for Baek Seok-ho.

He will find a way to cut off my lifeline.

Normally, I wouldn’t take this gamble because there’s a greater chance that I’ll be in danger rather than taking advantage of that gap.

‘This would be the best way to prevent further damage.’

The lives of innocent people.

And my life.

In order to protect these two, paradoxically, I have to show myself defenseless in front of Baek Seok-ho.

‘Help me. Put a lot of curses on the weapon.’

─That doesn’t make any sense right now… …!

‘7 seconds, 6 seconds, 5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds… … .’

─Oh, I got it! I’ll give it to you right away!

Only 3 seconds left until the shield is released.

Although I knew it, Tamamo suddenly became anxious when I said it out loud and quickly injected a lot of curses into the sword I was holding.

It started out as a basic spell, but several intermediate and advanced spells were also granted here and there. The curses were granted in such a hurry that the connections and granting between them are not properly established.

I looked at the black, coagulated curse and thought.

‘I rather like it.’

Inefficient spell placement and combinations.

But this inefficient arrangement actually felt like a curse.

Yeah, this is a curse.

I lifted the holy sword.

The sword was put aside for a moment.

─────!

A tattered curse that clung to the sword like black thread and lay on the floor.

Very good.

I looked at the sword with satisfaction, and for a moment, I felt the surroundings breaking apart.

A sensation and refreshing sound, like a glass window breaking.

The shield is broken.

Right then.

Swish!

Was he waiting for the moment when the barrier would break?

Five huge bundles of tentacles flew in, tangled together.

A huge object resembling a siege weapon came after my life.

‘This is a real gamble.’

My gut warned me.

If this continues, I’ll really die.

I nodded, ignoring my instincts that told me to get out of the way.

surely.

It’s an attack so threatening that it could kill you.

Five tentacles tangled together.

Its destructive power was three times that of a normal tentacle, but it was a much more efficient tactic to skillfully use five tentacles rather than swinging them around like that.

Perhaps that’s why the guy chose such an inefficient method.

‘You seem confident. Well, all you have to do is land one shot when there’s no defense.’

Just one.

Because if it gets in, Baek Seok-ho’s victory is certain.

The remaining five tentacles were united into one.

The ten tentacles had become entangled and were now two tentacles.

The destructive power has increased, but the speed has not changed.

The attacks that used to actively utilize ten tentacles to attack me in a clever and sophisticated manner are no longer there.

It pushes me forward with force only.

Boom! Boom!

The two-pronged tentacles crush everything I pass through.

Heaven and earth. No matter where I was, I never stopped attacking.

I invested all my thinking power into pushing myself forward, and lightning never struck again.

It became an extremely difficult level where you would die if you got hit once.

The difficulty of avoiding has actually become easier.

‘It’s worth doing, but I can’t get in.’

But I am at this moment.

I was more nervous than ever.

‘Fighting a monster that won’t die no matter how much you cut it with your sword without any means of protection.’

Another limb will fly away.
