Became a Swordsman Genius in a Pretty Girl Game - Chapter 356



356. Selflessness (1)

Shin Sehee, who was watching the hologram outside the gate, couldn’t help but be flustered.

She never thought that Jinyuha, of all people, would suddenly take such a rash action.

‘…Weren’t you trying to comfort me?’

In any case, the situation had already happened, and she had to calculate.

Shin Sehee’s mind was racing.

The current reduced abilities of Jinyuha.

And the abilities of the Lazy Howlers in the unknown (未知) collected from the previous battle.

How many could Jinyuha handle alone?

Her face hardened as she quickly finished her calculations.

‘…This is.’

Reckless.

‘The number of Lazy Howlers that Jinyuha can handle alone is roughly 200.’

But there are about 500 visible right now.

Moreover, the biggest characteristic of these Lazy Howlers is their excellent ability to call their comrades in a crisis.

At least 1000 should be expected.

Furthermore, Jinyuha, who uses a sword, is clearly a melee dealer with a strength in 1:1 combat.

The wave of monsters rushing in indiscriminately was not a good match.

If only Yoori, the tank, or Ichika, who could give freedom of movement, or even Gaeul, who could accelerate and decelerate, were here, there might have been a chance…

‘Oh, no way… Are you planning to release the restraints and face them?’

If that’s the case, it’s a different story.

If the shackles binding Jin Yuha’s power were released,

Then it wouldn’t matter how many Rage Howlers there were.

Just a few swings of the sword, crushing them with mana, and the Rage Howlers would be annihilated.

‘That’s right. Jin Yuha said he would show me his true skills…’

With that judgment, I relaxed and leaned back in my chair.

Jin Yuha stared at his shackled hands, clenched and unclenched them a couple of times,

And then stepped forward towards the Rage Howlers.

“…What!?”

Shin Sehee leaned forward in surprise.

Just a moment ago, the Rage Howlers had been on guard, watching Jin Yuha.

“Screeeeeeech!!!!”

At Jin Yuha’s approach, they turned their heads back and let out a scream-like roar.

“Ukiiiik!!!”

“Eek!?”

The sound spread to the others who had been sleeping.

Like an epidemic, it spread throughout the entire group.

“Eek! Eek eek eek!”

“Uki!?”

“Screeeeech─!!”

Soon, the cave was filled with the loud cries of hundreds of Rage Howlers.

Rumble─

The Rage Howlers gathered their weapons and equipment and rushed out.

Their eyes were filled with fierce hostility, showing their anger towards the nighttime intruder.

However, Jin Yuha stood in front of them with a languid expression.

He didn’t move an inch.

Shin Sehee bit her lip at his incomprehensible behavior.

‘Jin Yuha… Why on earth…’

* * *

‘Hmm. Quite a crowd has gathered.’

I stared blankly at the pack of Lazy Howlers.

‘Is this the first time I’m using Mu-Ah in actual combat?’

Since I was taught by Master Geomje, I haven’t really had the chance.

This is a dangerous technique that shouldn’t be used recklessly.

Losing all memory and then coming to my senses only to find the battle over.

What if I accidentally point my sword at an ally?

That wouldn’t end as a joke.

‘It’s not something else that’s terrifying, that’s the real terror.’

Didn’t I almost stab Master Geomje in the stomach the first time I used this?

Of course, back then, Master Geomje almost killed me in training.

But still!

‘I wonder what kind of expression Master Geomje would make if he saw me using Mu-Ah.’

In fact, Master Geomje didn’t specifically teach me Mu-Ah as an attack technique.

It’s more like an aid to draw out the true Wolyeong Sword Technique from the subconscious.

Mu-Ah is merely a switch to bring out the true Wolyeong Sword Technique from the subconscious in a short time.

‘He told me never to go too deep, and to release it immediately if I felt distant.’

But,

Mu-Ah.

This is quite something.

‘Top-notch by Velvet standards.’

Adding the two characters of ‘Mu-Ah’ to Kang Dohee’s ‘Incarnation Descent’ and Lee Yuri’s ‘Shield of Conviction’ wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

If I can become stronger, and protect my party members, Master, and other precious people, I must use anything as a weapon.

So I trained it intensively.

Minimized joint training with other party members,

And trained to enter Mu-Ah while not losing consciousness at the same time.

‘And now I’ve achieved some results.’

Of course, there were still uncertainties, so I haven’t shown it in front of my party members yet.

‘So Shin Se-hee is the first, then.’

Flick.

I glanced at the floating jewel above and let out a shallow laugh.

‘Alright, let’s give it a try.’

I completely relaxed all the strength in my body.

I dropped my consciousness deep into the depths of my mind.

The view in front of my eyes slowly blurred.

*

Jin Yu-ha’s eyes gradually darkened.

Srrrng.

A deep blue sword was drawn from his waist.

Flinch.

The corners of Jin Yu-ha’s languid face curled up.

A deep smile was etched on his face.

As if he couldn’t wait for the upcoming battle.

Even the excited Rage Howler, who had been screaming loudly, sensed something unusual and closed its mouth.

“······.”

A heavy silence fell inside the cave.

A tense atmosphere flowed, as if a gun was aimed and the trigger was hooked on a finger.

Bang!

The one who broke the silence first was Jin Yu-ha.

He lunged forward with a lightning-fast strike!

The tip of his sword aimed at the neck of the Rage Howler standing at the front.

Stop.

The sword, which had been swung with fierce momentum, suddenly stopped in mid-air and then bizarrely twisted in the opposite direction.

“Eek!?”

“Gah!?”

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Two Rage Howlers clutched their necks and let out their death throes.

‘······What, what is this?’

Shin Se-hee, who was watching, widened her eyes.

‘Clearly, the sword didn’t even touch the first Rage Howler… And the second one was the same.’

But almost simultaneously, the throats of the two howlers split open, gushing blood.

‘No way.’

Shin Se-hee quickly moved her hand to play back the video of Jin Yu-ha’s movements at 0.1x speed.

Then she could see it.

A very thin and dark sword aura was emitted from Jin Yu-ha’s sword at a formidable speed, slicing through the necks of the Rage Howlers.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Slash! Slash! Slash!

In the live video, Jin Yu-ha was seen cutting down the bewildered Rage Howlers.

The sword still didn’t touch them.

Buzz!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

At that moment, a Rage Howler from afar fired a magic bullet.

The magic bullets headed towards Jin Yu-ha but suddenly veered off to the side, hitting the other Rage Howlers that were clustered together.

“Gruk!!!”

“Kieeek!”

“Kkeuek!”

In the blink of an eye, their comrades were killed.

The Rage Howlers, with faces full of madness, started charging at Jin Yu-ha.

It felt like they were desperately trying to block the hateful attacker’s sword, even if it meant covering him with their own deaths and corpses.

But Jin Yu-ha, with a calm face, grabbed the head of one of the charging Rage Howlers and lightly lifted his body.

He then shot his sword, which was now held in reverse grip, downward.

Thrust! Thrust! Thrust! Thrust! Thrust!

Five short, sharp sword strikes.

The sharp tip of the sword pierced through the insides of the Rage Howlers’ heads, skewering their brains.

Then, kicking the head of the corpse, he threw his body.

Thud.

Jin Yu-ha fixed himself to the wall with his fingers, crouching down.

He looked up at the Rage Howlers.

“Whooo─”

He smirked.

Taat!

Jin Yuha kicked off the wall and shot towards the Rage Howlers once again.

Before his body even reached the ground, his sword swung at the speed of light.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

“Ugh!”

“Eek!”

And each time, the Rage Howlers clutched their necks, hearts, or heads, letting out painful screams.

“Screeech!”

Crunch─!

As if realizing this couldn’t go on, one of the larger Rage Howlers planted its hands on the ground and tore up a stone slab.

Then it hurled it at Jin Yuha.

Whooosh─!

A wide stone slab flew towards Jin Yuha with heavy weight and bulk.

Jin Yuha didn’t miss a beat and deftly twisted his wrist, sword in hand, towards the slab.

Whirr!

A small hole carved in the center of the slab.

Jin Yuha slipped through that hole, just big enough for him to pass through.

Thud!

“Ugh!”

“Urrgh!!”

“Screech!”

The other Rage Howlers, who had rushed to catch Jin Yuha, were crushed under the slab, letting out agonizing screams.

And without a moment’s respite, sword strikes flew towards him again.

Whoosh!

Slaaash!

A long axe swung low, aiming for Jin Yuha’s legs.

With a slight time difference, a spear is shot over the axe blade.

Even if one avoids the axe, the calculation was that it would be impossible to avoid the attack in midair.

The sharp momentum contained in the flying spear was enough to pierce Jin Yuha’s body immediately.

But.

Crack!

Jin Yuha, who avoided the axe, turned his head in midair and dodged the spear tip by a paper-thin margin, then grabbed the spear shaft and broke it with sheer grip strength.

Swish!

Thud!

The broken spear tip changed direction and stabbed into the forehead of the Rage Howler.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Not once, but several times.

Riding on the shoulders of the Rage Howler.

Jin Yuha turned the monkey’s face into mush with the broken spear.

The monster’s dark red blood splattered on his face.

Thud.

The Rage Howler, with dozens of holes in its face, collapsed.

Jin Yuha lightly stepped down from the Rage Howler’s shoulder and lifted his head.

The vivid madness in his eyes.

The Rage Howlers slowly backed away from this unknown monster.

“Where are you going?”

The fishy smile on the monster’s lips deepened.

“You have to play with me.”
