Side story 270. Bloody battle in the shadows (5)

Song Ha’s eyes flashed.

‘Have you finally found the will to fight properly?’

Black smoke rose.

Screams and cries were heard from all directions. The entire Blood Soul Pavilion was in chaos.

However, Song Ha’s eyes were focused solely on Lee Cheon Sang.

Lee Cheon-sang, who was emitting magic energy while looking around, looked like a hunter loosening his body to catch his prey.

‘Catch me if you can. I’ll bite you until the end and hang on, then sink my fangs into your neck.’

That was when.

Whew!

A gust of wind carried the rising black smoke eastward.

The dispersing smoke briefly obscured Song Ha’s vision and then disappeared.

and.

‘… … !!’

Lee Cheon-sang has disappeared.

‘where?!’

Song Ha instinctively looked back.

Of course, there was no Lee Cheon-sang. He didn’t exist in the rear, to the left or right, or even in the sky.

He literally disappeared like a ghost. The intense magic that had made my heart pound just a moment ago was as silent as an assassin’s prayer.

‘The smoke disappeared the moment it blocked my vision. That means, he also roughly guessed where I was.’

Could it be that this stealth trick has been discovered?

Song Ha shook his head inwardly.

‘That can’t be true.’

You can’t know now what you didn’t notice a moment ago.

‘It doesn’t make sense that he knew the direction from which I threw the knife. I threw the knife from a different direction every moment. I was constantly moving. He would never have been able to figure out where I was.’

Song Ha looked around nervously. He used the explosive magic attack that completely erased all signs of life by shrinking, and further expanded his senses.

‘What the heck… … .’

Still no place to catch it.

‘I’m not the type to run away. I’m watching from somewhere. If that’s the case… … .’

He has an absolute advantage in stealth and magic. Even if an attack begins, he won’t be able to be caught easily.

Of course, she too will have to risk her life.

‘I’ve already put my life on the line. What matters is winning. Losing and dying means nothing.’

Song Ha, who was looking around again, soon decided on a destination.

‘excuse me.’

A place close to the center of the Blood Soul Pavilion.

Even if you cause trouble on the outskirts, it won’t cause much chaos. If you cause trouble in the center of Blood Soul Pavilion, the entire Blood Soul Pavilion will be turned upside down.

‘Okay. Let’s make that place a battlefield too.’

The moment I made that promise.

‘… … .’

Song Ha felt that her feet were not moving easily.

It was for no other reason than that I wasn’t sure if it was okay to proceed like this.

If he were to confront me head-on, I would be confident that I could distance myself and go into hiding again. However, he also has some intentions, so he might be hiding his presence and waiting like this.

Any ordinary guy wouldn’t have even thought of this. He was someone I wanted to catch even at the risk of my own destruction, so I had no choice but to be extra careful.

Crucially, I was curious as to how the two thousandths of an inch of sand obscured my vision and disappeared.

Song Ha, who thought about it a little more, quickly made a decision.

‘There’s no point in hiding like this. The chaos of the Blood Soul Clan, which needs to be aggravated, will only subside.’

Her new body disappeared from the spot.

hook!

Her movements, moving exquisitely between rooftops and in the shadowy places, were truly amazing.

Even though he had never received any assassination training, he chose the most ideal location and moved. The best part was that he even regulated his breathing while keeping in mind the direction of the wind and the flow of air every time he moved.

The talent of assassination awakened by instinct.

This could be called a talent bestowed by heaven. If he had specialized in assassination training rather than magic, he might have grown into a king of assassins that the world would fear.

What was even more surprising was that she had not even learned how to be an assassin skilled in stealth.

‘Phew.’

Song Ha, who had hidden in the shadows and caught his breath, re-examined his explosive magic.

‘Okay. It’s holding up well.’

The explosive magic was so rough and ferocious that it was considered one of the most violent magics of the new religion.

However, Song Ha discovered a technique to use the explosive magic in the opposite way, compressing its powerful momentum into a single point and eliminating not only human presence but also life energy.

They say that opposites attract. Even such a fierce and explosive magic attack can show this kind of appearance depending on how it is used.

There are many who are stronger than her, but she is not called a genius. It is impossible to modify the highest level of the Shinsei sect’s magic and use it in a way that even the original author had never thought of without creativity, a strong body, and overwhelming internal energy management.

Non-human beings who develop on their own and reach the top without constant teaching.

It was only natural that Yeondeung taught her his magic.

‘I’m going again.’

hook!

She moved between buildings and quickly approached the center of the Blood Soul Pavilion, then pulled out two black spheres larger than her thumbnails from her bosom.

‘This is the last one.’

It was a small wall bomb issued to the Black Horse Corps when they went on the most dangerous missions.

It was a dangerous item that was issued to one person and could only be managed by a foreman or higher.

‘Okay, here we go again.’

Song Ha, who smiled coldly, threw two powerful wall-crawling bullets.

Phew!

Even though it was a wall-crawler, the sound of it tearing through the air was incredible. It was thrown so quickly that it seemed like it was exploding in mid-air.

As soon as she threw it, she turned her head and moved to the building on the right.

‘It’s going to explode.’

but.

‘… … ?’

Songha’s eyes grew wide.

‘What? Why isn’t it exploding?’

A moment of anxiety came over me.

Thud.

The blaster she had thrown with an eerie sound landed between the building she was hiding in and the building next to it.

Song Ha shouted without realizing it.

“Fuck!”

Got it! Boom!

As soon as the new method was revealed, the bomb exploded.

The powerful explosion destroyed two of the building’s outer walls. Considering its size, the firepower was truly unbelievable.

Song Ha wasn’t fine either. He quickly used his new technique, but he was hit hard on the back by the pressure of the explosion.

Song Ha, who had been rolling on the ground like crazy to disperse the shock, gritted his teeth and got up.

Fortunately, there was no major injury. His back was extremely hot, but he had no burns or fractures.

But she couldn’t rest easy.

‘Coming!’

hook!

As soon as I raised my head, I saw a man rushing at me at a terrifying speed.

It was Yi Cheon-sang. He had already reached the front of O Jang and was holding the Seven Night Sword.

‘shit!’

Shhh! Kkwarung!

The ground was turned upside down by the force of the blow.

It was a slash that sent goosebumps all over my body. The range wasn’t wide, but the speed was fast and the momentum was overwhelming.

With this one move, Song Ha realized clearly that he had no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation. Even the secret blood membrane of the explosive magic attack would not be able to blow away the opponent.

Pavabak!

Song Ha, who had crossed between buildings with all her might, pulled out a dagger.

Woohoo!

In an instant, explosive magic was contained. Among the explosive magic techniques, it was a technique that consumed a lot of internal energy, called Biboksan (飛爆散).

There was no point in collapsing the building and hurting people. The enemy was too close for that.

Song Ha flicked her wrist briefly.

Phew!

The two daggers flew like arrows.

One was between the eyebrows, the other was on the chest. It was a difficult beat and a difficult part to react to immediately.

Then, something amazing happened.

Chiring.

Yi Cheon-sang’s left hand quickly swept from top to bottom. Before he knew it, there were two trembling knives between his fingers.

Song Ha’s eyes grew wide as if they were going to tear apart.

‘how?!’

The dagger that flew into the sky exploded at the point of impact. Naturally, it was impossible to dispel the spell. The caster could not stop it.

Yet the bastard snatched the dagger so naturally. Without even an explosion!

thud!

Yi Cheon-sang’s feet shook the earth.

Flash!

The dagger flew at twice the speed and aimed for Song Ha’s back and thigh.

Song Ha instinctively moved to the right. He moved the moment he made the motion of swinging the knife.

That was when.

Kwaaang!

“Ugh!”

As soon as I entered the alley on the right, I was hit by a piece of pottery that flew through the outer wall of the building.

If he hadn’t blocked it with his sword, his arm would have been severed and his ribs would have been blown off. That would have been the end of the match. Song Ha felt his spine tingle.

‘You ignorant brat who only has strength!’

But fortunately, there were many buildings, the roads were winding, and, crucially, the doctors and patients were popping out, making the situation increasingly chaotic.

It was the perfect condition for a fight. Song Ha started to use the explosive magic attack in reverse to kill the movement and vitality.

That was when.

Boom!

“Ugh!”

Songha fell to the ground with a loud crash.

“Coolook!”

He didn’t even know who his opponent was. Song Ha, who had vomited a handful of blood, moved to the right again. It was an instinctive response.

however.

‘… … !!’

Lee Cheon-sang, who had been chasing after me, suddenly appeared at the crossroads where I was about to turn back.

‘This is crazy!’

The Seven Nights of the Two Heavenly Kings drew a single bolt of lightning.

Song Ha also unleashed the explosive magic sword, but it was like blocking the rushing waves with a single sheet of paper.

Boom! Bam!

The sword broke and Songha flew away, crashing into the wall of the building.

Even if I wanted to hide, I couldn’t. It was because of the tension from being hit from the air, and the massive internal injuries I suffered from being hit by this attack.

‘What the heck… … .’

Song Ha couldn’t understand.

Before he was even aware that he had been hit, he was curious about how Lee Cheon-sang had disappeared from his sight, how he had snatched the wall bullet, and how he had figured out the direction in which to escape, let alone the knife.

“Yui-sang, I know that person just by looking at him. You have never received assassination training.”

Song Ha glared at Lee Cheon Sang with a pale face.

Lee Cheon-sang said calmly.

“But the movements were very standard. I was hesitant, but they moved exquisitely to a place where skilled assassins would hide.”

“… … !”

“It was a good talent.”

A look of emptiness appeared on Song Ha’s face.

“You knew where I was moving?”

“Yes.”

“How is that possible?”

“I’ve been to Blood Soul Pavilion several times. I know where the paths are.”

“……what?”

“I fought you once too. I have your movements, your habits, and even where you turn when you get anxious, all of that stuff in my head.”

“… … !!”

“If you combine the conditions and calculate them, it’s not difficult to read your movements.”

Songha opened her mouth wide.

To say it’s not difficult is nonsense.

Considering the width and complexity of the Blood Soul Pavilion, it would be nearly impossible to memorize all the roads and buildings after only a few visits. And even if you still remember your own movements and habits from a fight long ago?

“This crazy monster… … !”

It is said that there is a sky above the sky.

There is always another genius above a genius that is difficult to approach. Song Ha’s talent was also worthy of being called a century-old talent, but it did not reach Lee Cheon-sang’s level.

Whether it’s innate talent or acquired ability, those who know how to properly utilize what they have are worthy of being called geniuses.

“Is this you?”

Swish.

Baek So-dam, dressed in pure white like a fairy, came down and stood next to Song-ha.

Songha’s eyes widened.

“Hwanheewonju?!”

Phew!

Song Ha, who was hit in the face by Baek So Dam’s kick, fell to the floor.

Song Ha’s eyes, looking up at Lee Cheon-sang while groaning, were filled with venom.

“This is… … what a cowardly… … .”

“Fighting is about using every trick you can.”

Lee Cheon-sang said calmly.

“Your fight is light compared to mine.”
