[It’s the left shoulder, Jinseong.]

“Okay, I saw it too. Now let’s-”

Jinseong rushed forward with his back turned as far as possible.

Instead of simply cutting, he swung his sword with the intent of cutting Casillas vertically from his left shoulder.

Of course, all that could be heard was the refreshing sound of metal clashing with metal.

“Huh. Is this okay?”

Casillas smiled as if he found it interesting.

It meant that he had deliberately shown Jinseong a weak point.

Of course, Jinseong and Heukgu both knew.

That it was impossible for him to perfectly exploit Casillas’s weaknesses at his skill level.

Kang, Kang, Kaaaaang-!

After finishing the third consecutive attack, Jinseong twisted his body to escape from Casillas’s other side, but Casillas, who was actually defending, did not move an inch from his spot.

It is an impossible task, relying only on Jinseong’s own unique abilities and the agility and flexibility of his black ball, without even borrowing the power of ‘Soldoros’ or ‘Yang-eol’.

Still, Jinseong was smiling.

Judging from Casillas’ praise a little while ago, it seems that he is also gradually raising his level by showing his weaknesses.

This is because it means that Jinseong found a gap and that Casillas’s quick attack towards that gap has reached a level where he can receive a passing grade.

“Of course. And even more than that.”

Moreover, since he hadn’t shown everything yet, Jinseong couldn’t help but feel good.

The first attack, which took advantage of Casillas’s weakness, was also a new, ‘non-standard’ way of using the ball, borrowed from Heukgu.

‘It was a kind of basic attack used by Leshphon’s Deregi, but… … it was a sharp spinning rush attack.’

After gaining recognition from Cassias by utilizing the attack pattern used by the boss of the village of pain, Resiphon, and the black disease Direji, Jinseong made several attempts in the duel.

When it comes to deregism, the most representative powers are naturally those related to poison or disease.

The power to cause damage to the surrounding area over that wide area.

‘The unfortunate thing is that it can only have physical characteristics, huh?’

But it was not expressed.

Patterns like this one could not be used by Jinseong himself.

That fact alone should have been considered confirmation.

‘Innate traits, I can’t use those. Other than the Derege whose body is made of poison or disease, no one in Plain: Arad can do that… … That means that even if it’s an ‘out of the box’ use, it’s impossible.’

The ‘Sword Path’ of Soldoros and the ‘Extreme Swordsmanship’ of Yang Er are both techniques that are realized through a third substance.

If it’s that kind of power, Jinseong himself can borrow it to some extent.

He is physically similar to Yang-Eol and possesses the same sword as Soldoros.

However, the only characteristic that is unique and cannot be acquired through effort or other material means cannot be borrowed and expressed.

The voice of the black goblin rang out.

[Keep kek kek… … You don’t think my power ends there, do you, Jinseong?]

“Hehe, of course not. If it were Leshphon’s Diregie, then that would be the case… But as you exist now, there is not ‘one’ Diregie. To be exact, there is more than one being granted the power of Diregie.”

Jinseong remembered what Heukgu had said.

The reason he kept smiling while glaring at Casillas and the source of his confidence.

[Yes. I never miss my prey once I set my sights on it… … .]

“Hmm, actually, if you look at it from the perspective of you who are in the dimensional rift, it’s actually me who became the ‘prey’-.”

[Of course. Isn’t that the fundamental reason why I am with you?]

“-In a situation like this, you should say something like, ‘You’ve already escaped from being prey,’ anyway.”

[Kuk, do you want that kind of mercy from me?]

“No, actually I didn’t expect it, so… please lend me your strength. Just like before.”

Jinseong took a deep breath and squeezed his lips.

Still, that power will not be borrowed.

But there is a power of the Black Orb, of the Diregie, or more precisely, of the being separated from the Diregie!

There is a boss monster that appeared in the now-disappeared dungeon.

One of the attack patterns used by another incarnation of Direji, born from a burning desire for revenge while being torn and regenerated endlessly within a dimensional rift.

“.”

The boss monster’s name is ‘Black Demon’s Fragment’.

A piece literally torn off from the Direge of the Black Demon, the Black Disease

[Click, click, click… … Another part of me, dwell here now.]

The pattern that tormented users back then was reproduced in Jinseong and Heukgu.

Attack the targeted user five times in a row!

─────, ─────… … .

Casillas’ mouth changed into an “oh” shape.

“Hahahahaha! Is that so, that damn dog’s skill?!”

Of course, that was all. He laughed as he easily blocked the two attacks that occurred in an instant.

Heukgu’s voice echoed in Jinseong’s head.

[I’ll swallow you whole, you ignorant swordsman!]

It was a spirit that Jinseong could understand.

What happens to users who get hit even once during the five attacks used by the dungeon boss?

‘I was devoured by a fragment of the black monster. Hmm, wait a minute. So I’m eating Cassias?’

────────… … !

The third attack was also blocked by Kashiya.

The black goose shouted again.

[True! Can’t you concentrate!]

“I, I’m concentrating! If I want to make Kashias eat me straight, I have to find an opening-… an opening.”

──────────!

When his thoughts reached that point, Jinseong remembered.

You can use Deregi’s skills.

A person who is a Deregi but is not a Deregi can use the skills of the Black Demon’s Fragment.

Although he is a Direji, he can borrow the power of his other self, Black Goo.

Also, in the town of suffering, Resiphon, what happened to the Direzier of the Black Disease.

As the word “Deregier” overlapped in Jinseong’s mind, one thought occurred to him.

We need to create a gap.

But how can you create an opening against Casillas, who can’t even use his remaining skills?

‘Time. Space… … .’

He will have to use methods he cannot understand.

How to do that?

‘… … I’ve tried it when I was with Direji.’

Realizing the unique power that one possesses.

I’ve tried to make it work, even if it was only possible with the help of ‘someone’.

It’s only a trigger for now, but if there’s a projectile, won’t it eventually have value as a trigger?

That is, if he had used all kinds of power from Direji, all kinds of power from him.

What power did Jinsung use when he was with his main body in the dimensional rift?!

The moment the fifth attack was about to be carried out.

Casillas’ eyes widened.

“That’s it. Those eyes!”

Jinseong didn’t hear it. He didn’t even hear it.

Because there was only one concept and word that dominated his mind as he prepared to attack, completely lost in thought.

Temporarily stops time for the target.

Temporarily blocks the target’s space.

Forcibly create a gap in him.

Block, time.

“Break… time….”

Jinseong muttered without realizing it.

With eyes that are black and white.

Raising the greatsword.

The moment when Casillas’ eyes widened and a smile appeared on his lips.

“Uh… Chief Ka! Watch out for the explosion! There’s a thud coming from the sky!”

The voice of the chili shrimp was heard.

Casillas turned his head.

“Explosion… Hot!?”

As he felt that Casillas’ confusion was genuine, Jinseong’s concentration also couldn’t help but waver.

The fifth time, Jinseong’s eyes, which had been rushing in, rolled towards the sky.

And soon I had to raise my head.

Pushu …

Unidentified things falling from the sky.

Because the number was so countless, I thought that if it was an ‘attack’, it would definitely be fatal.

“What, what is this? Isn’t this a village judgment? Why are you attacking-. Huh, Heukgu! Pop!”

[Click click, oh my, oh my, this was my chance to swallow that stinky chunk of meat-.]

“This is not the time, oh no, jeez-!”

Casillas quickly gained distance.

Jinseong also ran away from the descending things with all his might.

No, I tried to hit him.

At that moment, if only it weren’t for the voice that Jinseong heard in his own ears.

“Jiiiiiiiiiiin~”

Even just one long, drawn-out syllable was enough to make Jinsung look at its source.

A person approaching from afar with long blond hair fluttering in the wind.

“Saaaaaaaaaaaaaah~”

As I ran close to the summoner, Chili Shrimp, I could clearly see the difference in height between his silhouette and Chili Shrimp.

A tall, slender woman.

In addition to these physical characteristics, you could already tell just by the voice and the title by which you called Jinseong… … .

“Niiiiiiiiiiiim-!”

A mechanic for the female gunner class, a possessed person you meet during the first main scenario quest that takes place in the heavenly realm, ‘Rescue the Princess and Suppress the Cartel’.

“……Ms. Vivi?”

Jinseong shouted while looking at Vivi.

It wasn’t because of surprise that she was here or because of joy that she recognized him and approached him.

Jinseong felt sorry that he had to feel almost the same emotions when they first met and when they broke up, even when they met again.

“But why are you bombing me?!”

─────────────… … !!!

I wonder if it helps or not.

class .

And in addition to the skills acquired after the female mechanic’s second awakening, an indiscriminate bombing of the ‘second awakening skill’ was carried out on an empty lot in the Eaton Industrial Complex.

It goes without saying that the explosion and aftershock caused a commotion that caused all the celestials to evacuate.

* * *

“Chief Ka, please bear with it this time. I heard you did it without knowing.”

The chili shrimp blocked Casillas’ path.

It had to be that way.

“You idiot, do you believe that? There’s no way that human woman would do that. Wasn’t she the most shameless person ever when she received help from you? Don’t you remember how she would always talk back to me?!”

The sight of Casillas running wilder than ever.

It was surprising that even Jinseong, who was watching from the side, was unable to squeeze in…

“Huh? Are you talking back? No, no, I was just informing you, Kashiyas-sama. Since you’re in the Demon World, you probably don’t know much about science or engineering, so I thought I’d teach you-”

“Kyaaaaah, shut up! Before I cut you down!”

“Hey, wait a minute, Chief Ka! Hey, seriously! Vivi, you step back a bit. Anyway, I said that if you open your mouth, you’ll be in trouble.”

“Huh? What the hell is the problem?”

This is because Vivi was tilting her head as if to ask if there was a problem and saying what she wanted to say.

Jinseong chuckled as he watched the chili shrimp somehow manage to tear apart the casillas.

“It’s been a while, Vivi. Were you trying to help me with that earlier?”

Vivi pushed up her glasses and smiled brightly.

As we have already confirmed with the skill, the appearance of the drone floating behind her has changed.

Jinseong could tell that she had become [Optimus], the second awakening of the female mechanic profession.

Vivi said it as if she was bragging about it.

“Mr. Jinsang! Of course! Mr. Kashiyas is great, but he seems to have a tendency to not be able to tell right from wrong-”

Another word that brings out Casillas’ temper.

“-That’s why. I thought you and Jinsang were fighting, so I tried to help you. The summoner’s sister doesn’t have a very good personality.”

And to add a line that will make the eyes of the chili shrimp and Jinseong widen.
