Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 773
773. [Western Front] – Grade 2 Apostle Crystal Troll (49)
***
Shashashashashashak!
An endless flood of monsters due to the crystal troll’s buster call. And McPhill’s new model was moving through space as if engraving an afterimage.
Swish!
The monster tried to attack McPhill for a moment, but none of the attacks could even get past McPhill’s officer uniform.
Sigh!
On the contrary, every time McPhill’s new model narrowly passed a monster, it inflicted damage that was close to death, as if a sharp blade was cutting the monster’s body.
Fighting. Tuk!
In just a matter of seconds, dozens of monsters collapsed all at once.
That was the power of McPhill’s unique trait [Blade of Wind Protection]. A power belonging to the elemental series and at the same time a special characteristic in the form of attack and defense.
“Whoa… … .”
McPhill, who immediately turned the surrounding area into a sea of monster blood, took a quick breath.
The sight reflected in those eyes was nothing surprising as it was an extremely natural result. However, he suddenly looked away.
‘Is it really possible to break through?’
The crystal troll’s buster call was enough for him and Ensign Rune to block the monsters that came flooding in.
The problem was the crystal troll.
ㅡSecond-level apostle.
There was no other reason why the crystal troll was classified as a second-class apostle.
He had an extremely strong crystal body, an extreme body that could not only deal a considerable amount of damage, but also neutralize all elemental powers.
From noble mtl dot com
Even magic didn’t mean much to the crystal trolls. Therefore, it was a crystal troll that was difficult to deal with, to the extent that it could be considered resistant to almost all damage.
However, Han Tiansheng had said that he would pierce that crystal troll with a ‘spear’.
Wow!!
When the crystal pillar hit the ground, a large amount of soil in the red zone scattered. There were also bodies of dead monsters and blood mixed in between them.
“… … .”
For a moment, I stared blankly.
Sararak… !
Han Cheon-seong, who was using the skill, was moving as if he was leaping through space. And when Han Tiansheng circled around the crystal troll, no one could see that the crystal troll could follow Han Tiansheng’s movements.
No matter how intimidating it is to hit the huge crystal pillar.
Kwakwang!!
Along with binge drinking, the ground is only being chipped away. There was no way to reach Han Tiansheng.
‘Super fast… … .’
As I possess the wind type trait, I was confident about my speed. But the speed at which Han Tiansheng was moving now was surprising even when I saw it with my own eyes.
‘It must be a characteristic of spearmanship.’
It is a trait related to extremely simple armament, but the skill that has now been revealed is very surprising. Along with the power that seemed to greatly improve physical abilities, a blue spear blade that seemed to be imbued with a storm was also seen.
Really, it was dark.
How many layers of light can overlap to create such a brilliant light? A window with an unimaginably intense light.
‘Strengthening the body is not the main purpose.’
Anyone can see that the skill used by Han Cheonseong has the power to strengthen the ‘spear’ itself.
“I’m sure you’ll feel very comfortable whenever I see you. “Because you can kill them all just by moving.”
“… … “Lieutenant Rune, didn’t you sort it out pretty quickly?”
“But it’s so annoying to me.”
When I saw Lieutenant Rune, who had executed all of the hundred or so monsters that were rushing in from the other side, a small smile escaped me.
She was talking to me now, but her eyes were almost fixed on Han Tiansheng.
“So, is spearmanship a trait like that? “I’m amazed every time I see Han Tiansheng.”
“Since skills are different for each person, wouldn’t the power they have also be different?”
“Still, it’s really amazing, because I heard that even the skill isn’t a single power.”
It is not a single force.
Lieutenant Rune’s words struck me the most right now.
‘Right now, that strength is comparable to any skill.’
Strengthens one’s body and greatly improves the power contained in the spear. However, Han Tiansheng revealed that this was not the end of his skills.
There are a total of 4 types of skills that can be expressed. There was even no restriction that using one power could not use the other three powers.
‘How is that a common grade?’
It’s been a while since I’ve recognized Han Cheon-seong as a person through the past few missions.
In fact, I, who had the lowest power in the enemy group, had the power of the late 7th level, but even I could not see the end of Han Cheonseong’s power.
It will definitely get stronger there and it will get stronger there.
And now it seemed real.
Puff puff puff!!
As Ensign Roxanna’s atmospheric suppression power greatly shook the atmosphere around the troll, the crystal troll also stumbled, unable to maintain its stance.
And that moment.
Pa-Ah!!
A huge light flashed and Ensign Elphy’s sniping forcefully grazed the back of the crystal troll’s neck, causing the crystal troll to lose its balance almost to the point of falling.
‘It’s ridiculously hard.’
Considering that Ensign Elf’s sniping a moment ago was almost at full power, even the sniping that hit the crystal troll’s neck ended up breaking the crystal a little.
And it was visible at that moment.
“… … “Hey.”
“under.”
Lieutenant Rune’s admiration made me feel a blank expression of admiration as well.
A blue storm was located right below the fallen crystal troll. It was a spiral airflow so large that it could almost be called a storm, and the blue-colored spirals covered the surrounding area as if dominating it.
As Han Tiansheng kicked the ground, as if he was in some kind of posture, my eyes managed to catch Han Tiansheng’s movements.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!
A ray of blue light instantly pierced the space and soared into the sky.
Crispy!!
As the sound that pierced the crystal troll’s heart belatedly shook the air, I couldn’t help but be surprised to see Han Tiansheng floating in the air.
Wow!!
The crystal troll lost its balance and fell, unable to even utter a word. There was no way to stand up again after falling down.
‘You really pierced the heart of a crystal troll with a spear.’
If any other officer had heard it, it would have made him snort. With just one attack, Han Cheon-seong pierced the solid body of the crystal troll, which was supposed to be impossible to respond to with close-range weapons.
And it was proven.
How much power did your spear have?
I didn’t even feel like I had pierced the crystal troll. The momentary attack that pierced and erased space itself was terrifying to watch.
Tuk. Tuk.
Then, I turned my head in a daze when I heard a hand tapping my shoulder.
“McPhill, it looks like you really got eaten by the youngest.”
When Lieutenant Rune spoke with a burst of laughter, I also burst out laughing out of bewilderment.
“… … “I’m not the only one who got that effect, right?”
Regardless of whether I was eaten, honestly, looking at Han Tiansheng, even if it was a member of another platoon, it would be difficult to say that Han Tiansheng was above him. Of course, strength is not everything, but Han Tiansheng had something special.
“That’s true too. But I don’t really care if it works if it’s Han Cheon-seong.”
Shocked.
I was unconsciously surprised by his uninhibited remark.
‘Are you really the Ensign Rune I know?’
I would say that Lieutenant Rune’s attitude has become more harmful recently, to the point where I wonder if she was this kind of person, but she is not a bad person to begin with. Her changes have become more noticeable recently.
“Then let’s go.”
“yes.”
As the execution of the apostle had ended due to Han Cheon-seong’s attack a little while ago, I suddenly saw it with my eyes as I moved to collect it.
Lieutenant Rune, smiling softly, amidst the fluttering sunset-colored hair.
‘Clearly Han Tiansheng has a lover.’
Even though I don’t know much about women, I kept feeling strange about Lieutenant Rune’s attitude.
Han Tiansheng simply… … .
Because I didn’t feel like I was viewed as a platoon member.
***
Damn it!
My steps are so heavy.
“thank you so much. “Ensign McPhill.”
Nevertheless, nature was quick to express its gratitude.
“no. “It would be absurd if I made you pay for all of this.”
“Ahaha… … .”
I felt very fortunate to hear Lieutenant MacPhil’s kind words.
Until now, I had returned to the barracks alone carrying the loot I had saved while executing the apostles, but I was not confident that I could return to the barracks alone with this crystal troll.
Even now, the weight of the crystal troll’s crystal mass I was carrying on my shoulder was beyond imagination.
‘Does this really make sense?’
It seemed that crystals were not just crystals.
Damn it!
Even as I sprinted across the ground to return to the barracks, it felt as if the sky was weighing down on me.
Don’t think about floating any higher than this, the crystal was extremely heavy.
“I really can help you too.”
Then, I urgently shook my head at the voice of Lieutenant Rune that I heard next to me.
“no. “I can lift this much on my own.”
“… … “Really?”
“Yes, really.”
It was a favor that I would have accepted unconditionally if Lieutenant McPhill had not helped me, but it was still a burden that I could handle on my own.
“You too can either be foolish or good… … “Even if you don’t act so diligently, your image won’t get any better.”
“no. “I think I should do this.”
Her words about being foolish felt a little different to me.
-Jeokik’s youngest child.
And to be honest, I thought I was already receiving a lot of consideration. From the first day I was assigned to the enemy wing until now, almost two weeks have passed.
Since I have received so much favor and good will, I have never felt like I was having a hard time in any way.
So, I wanted to do the work that the youngest child had to do on my own.
‘I’m being pampered with something like this for no reason… … ‘You can’t just get favors.’
I was grateful for his willingness to help, but I was also aware of it as I had heard many stories from Lieutenant McPhill. It is said to be a kind of ‘tradition’ for the youngest to return with loot along with the shooter.
And because I needed to be more visible to Lieutenant McPhill, I had been trying to collect the loot by myself.
Damn it!
As I moved across the ground again, I saw Ensign Rune sighing slightly.
“But really, don’t overexert yourself? “If you’re having a hard time, tell me.”
“yes. I won’t overdo it. And aren’t we almost there now?”
While I was grateful that she was trying to show me kindness again and again, the first fortress suddenly appeared. It would be a lie if I said it wasn’t difficult, but I was still able to overcome this much.
“I am Lieutenant Rune. Then, maybe you could listen to what Lieutenant McPhill is holding… … .”
So, my eyes suddenly fell on Lieutenant MacPhil.
He was carrying more crystals than I was carrying, and it seemed like Ensign McPhill was having a harder time than me.
“No, he’s fine.”
“… “Is that so?”
I smiled awkwardly at his immediate answer.
‘As expected, it feels a bit different.’
So again I felt it.
Lieutenant Rune’s interest in me… … It feels like it’s a little bit out of the sense that it’s just for the sake of the platoon members. It had been so blatant recently that it was surprising that I didn’t notice it anymore.
Damn it!
As I returned to the barracks and felt strange, I suddenly saw something in my eyes.
-Take him quickly!!
-You can live! You b*stard! Never close your eyes!!
A tragedy occurred some distance away.
A soldier whose right upper body was torn off to a horrific extent. And the appearance of several people trying to somehow return with such a soldier… … .
“Han Tiansheng, don’t look.”
I had to struggle to nod my head at Lieutenant Rune’s voice.
“… … yes.”
