Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 603
603. Han Cheon-seong vs. Leonhard Loriant – Resolution (2)
***
-Wall.
What if there was a wall in front of you that you couldn’t overcome no matter what?
Life is something that everyone inevitably encounters while living a long journey. It meant ‘one who is superior’ to oneself.
Even if you achieve something by putting in a lot of effort and passion, there will inevitably be someone ahead of you.
Therefore, envy and jealousy were extremely natural emotions for humans.
However, the attitudes of everyone facing the wall were different.
Even when someone faces a wall, they use that wall as a driving force to move forward. Another person gets frustrated in front of a wall and cannot stand up. So there were some people who tried to avoid the wall altogether or gave up on facing it.
Continuing to compete while facing your own limitations and those who are better than you is harder than you think.
So that’s what the ‘wall’ was.
Feeling helpless as if you can’t keep up with what you’re facing in life.
And, like a miracle, there was a being who overcame it and stood up again. In that sense, Leonhard was now properly ‘facing’ without running away.
In the face of what I thought was a wall… … .
I face it with a stronger will than ever before.
… … .
I felt it.
As I entered this stadium, and while fully manifesting the mana in my entire body, my mind was infinitely pure and transparent.
“… … .”
My two eyes are looking straight at Han Tiansheng.
However, as if I was looking at the blue sky, there was not even the slightest delusion in my mind.
Sreuk.
With an endless mind in the hand holding the sword, he continued to inspire his own will endlessly.
‘you can do it.’
And at the same time, I was wary.
I hope that I will not blindly trust my newly acquired power with feelings bordering on arrogance or conceit.
Han Cheon-seong was a ‘wall’ in my life.
It was the first wall I faced, and it was the wall that would block my path the most in the future.
No matter how hard I try, the wall is so high that it feels difficult to keep up with Han Tiansheng’s growth… … .
And now I can see it.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!
As soon as he took out the spear he was carrying on his back, Han Tiansheng’s momentum suddenly changed.
A golden aura that could be described as brilliant enveloped Han Tiansheng in an instant. And within that, Han Tiansheng’s golden eyes were enveloped in mystery.
In the past few days, I happened to see Han Tiansheng displaying openness a few times, but it was completely different from now.
Now I am facing Han Tiansheng from the front.
The presence I felt was truly overwhelming.
As the massive mana, as if its presence had become several times stronger, and the overflowing golden wave that could not help but encompass Han Tiansheng’s entire body, circling around Han Tiansheng and scattering brilliant light, pure admiration leaked out.
‘This is the truth.’
Proof that Han Tiansheng truly revealed his strength fully.
Yet, without even realizing it, my gaze wandered. It was not an imposing golden spear blade.
It was a face.
was laughing
After hearing my words, Han Tiansheng opened up his power and faced me with a sincere smile.
that is… … .
It really brought an indescribable feeling to my heart.
Compared to me facing Han Tiansheng with the determination of a lifetime, the sight of Han Tonsheng smiling as if he was very happy… … .
It made me feel something I couldn’t explain.
From noble mtl dot come
He definitely wasn’t laughing at me.
As I had seen Han Tiansheng for a long time, I knew his upright character.
‘So that smile… .’
It was a joy.
At this moment, he was truly happy to be competing with me.
“… … under.”
At that moment, a laugh escaped my lips without me knowing.
My body, which had become very rigid due to tension, suddenly became completely relaxed.
And it appeared gradually.
Even though the blue mana of the Changcheonilgeom infinitely accelerates my body and shows a mysterious law that makes the world seem slow,
I could clearly see Han Tiansheng staring at me while gently nodding his head.
‘come.’
That was a signal.
Swish!
And immediately after, Han Tiansheng lightly swung his hand, and I had to swing the sword I was holding straight ahead.
Cheaeng!
I saw it with my eyes, along with a powerful metallic sound that seemed to ring in my ears.
In the two wide-open eyes, the blade of a spear scattering brilliant gold light existed as if it were natural.
‘When on earth…’ … ?’
Has the golden spear reached right in front of my nose?
I instinctively swung the sword with the energy of the Changcheonil Sword to block Han Tiansheng. However, before the energy of the Changcheonilgeom could be expressed through the sword body, the blade of the spear was encountered.
And I couldn’t even think right after.
Chaechaechaechaeng!!
Instinct warned me.
Even though the vast energy of the Changcheonilgeom enveloped my entire body and gave me a sensation that was on a completely different level from usual, my eyes could not even capture it properly.
Strike and strike again.
A crazy rush of golden light filled my vision, and it felt like it was trying to completely entangle me.
Sigh!
As the golden spear blade grazed my cheek just in the nick of time, my heart sank with even more coldness.
‘… … ‘We have to face each other.’
You can’t avoid the spear blade.
It wasn’t a speed that I could easily avoid with my current movements.
The energy of the Changcheonilgeom wrapped around the sword burst out loudly in an instant and attempted to strike the spear blade aimed at the blind spot.
The blade of the spear thrown out is straight and fast.
More than ever before, it comes at me sharper and stronger than the spear blade of the guy I encountered.
Cheaeng!
The arm holding the sword trembled in the strange experience of hearing a huge sound of metal ringing in my ears.
Tight.
Biting my lip, I swung my sword again forcefully.
There is no time to catch your breath or even widen the distance.
Chaechaechaechaechaeng!!
I swung the sword almost instinctively, and as I cut down, I realized in a daze.
I know that Han Cheon-seong truly accepted my words, and that is why he is rushing to finish me off with his full strength without any hesitation.
‘… … .’
And just by rushing to catch his spear like that, my heart suddenly became transparent.
My mind was blank.
From the moment I first caught the spear until now, I don’t even know how I was able to catch his spear and stand on the ground like this with both legs.
From the beginning, I was not given the opportunity to use techniques that would reveal great power or use the tricks I had in mind.
Extreme practical combat… … .
I even felt a strange sensation, as if I was swinging a sword underwater, amidst the fierce attacks that did not even give me a chance to show my strength.
It felt like my whole body was floating.
visor!
In an instant, the hand holding the sword leaps into the air, and the body creaks in the aftermath of receiving the force.
Cheaeng!
I barely managed to swing my sword, but ended up taking a step back as I faced the spear aimed at my chest.
Chachaechaeng!
Even as I miraculously struck away the spears that pierced my waist and thighs, I felt pain as if my grip would be torn apart.
“… … .”
In my dazed and blurred vision, only the gorgeous golden waves still fill the front.
‘You never get tired.’
I had that thought without realizing it.
How long have I been able to withstand Han Tiansheng’s attacks?
I didn’t even know it myself. It felt like my sense of time had completely disappeared, and I couldn’t feel anything except the window aimed at me.
Nevertheless, I clearly knew what my condition was now.
“ha… … .”
My breath is all the way up to my chin, and I feel a tingling pain in so many places that it’s hard to tell whether it’s in my cheek, side, thigh, or forearm.
I couldn’t even properly hold the sword in my hand, and it felt like my body was screaming at me that everything I could feel was limited.
right now… … .
Put down your sword.
Don’t even think about taking that spear.
My body, my wounded body, instinctively warns me.
At this rate, you die.
…Inadvertently, I started laughing at that thought.
Cheaeng!
At the loud sound of metal ringing again, blood burst out from the hand holding the sword.
I couldn’t think of any more strength to receive it, to the extent that I thought a loophole had been revealed in my huge arm.
It was as if the concept of death existed vividly before my eyes.
I can’t take the spear anymore.
And in my dazed, blurred vision, I saw it.
‘come.’
A wave of golden light, stronger than ever before, was decorating my vision more intensely.
A golden spiral wraps around the blade of the spear and rages like a storm.
“ah… … ”
It was such an enchanting sight that for a moment I even forgot that the game was in progress.
This cannot be prevented.
In a moment, I understood.
I understood it all with my head, my body, and my sword.
My sword is not yet powerful enough to block the golden spiral that Han Tiansheng truly showed up and shot out.
I was clearly aware of the transcendental energy of the Changcheonilgeom, which enveloped my entire body and raised my senses by more than two levels.
The sword I’m swinging can’t reach that spear properly.
“… … .”
In an infinitely slow time.
Even though the golden spiral blade of the spear was aimed at me at every moment, one thing came to my mind without me realizing it.
‘Resolution… … . ‘You did it.’
Resolution.
And that wasn’t a resolution for me.
The expectations of the long-time vassals who have supported the Loriant family. It was like a determination to live up to the expectations of those who were still watching me from the stands.
From my childhood, I knew how high the expectations they had for me in the rapidly declining Lloriant family were. So I tried harder.
When children of his age were playing and spending time, he swung his sword without paying attention elsewhere. I only hoped for my own growth and refined myself under the teachings of my teacher.
To live up to their expectations and restore the Loriant family to its former glory. Because I thought that was my mission.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!
The splendidly swirling golden spiral looked even bigger.
“… … .”
In this slowed time, the spear was aiming for my heart as if it were separated from the world.
And another thought came to mind.
That was different from my resolve.
Yesterday, when the bracket was revealed and I found out that I was matched against Han Cheon-seong. In my mind, I had to feel like I was standing in front of a cliff.
At that moment, I realized that I could not defeat Han Tiansheng.
I can’t reach it.
Before the bracket came out, I thought I had barely reached the epicenter of enlightenment.
As my sword mysteriously disappeared from my eyes, my whole body was enveloped in the energy of the Changcheonil Sword, and I gained the perception of an absurd sense.
…however.
Even so, I can’t reach it.
Right now, I’m already too far gone to catch up with Han Tiansheng.
I clearly knew.
Still, I was on this stage.
The reason why he faces Han Cheon-seong on the stadium and catches the spear despite his limitations.
Even if this is the reality given to me… … .
“Because I was prepared… … !”
Before I knew it, I was swinging my sword while shouting as if I was overcome by evil.
Crispy… … !
As if the infinitely slow time was shattering, reality appeared in my eyes.
A barrage of mighty blue flames meeting the golden spiral trying to pierce me.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!
The blue flame that exploded from the tip of the sword that met the golden spear blade was burning so powerfully that it seemed as if it would set the sky on fire.
And as I managed to erase the golden spiral and it burned, I couldn’t believe my eyes without realizing it.
‘This power… … .’
It was like a huge, impossible miracle to me.
