Chapter 88
Chapter 88 - Desperation (1)
Lee Ha-yoon's distorted expression cooled down again.
Then, a smile close to a mockery spread over Lee Ha-yoon's face.
didn't pray
To be more precise, I could say it was the same.
Of course, Lee Ha-yoon had also heard about Kim Seo-joon.
An unapproachable irregular.
It must have been nicknamed that because of the appearances he has shown in various competitions.
So, you must be confident in your abilities.
But there were hundreds of such people.
There were hundreds of students who were frustrated in front of Lee Ha-yoon while climbing up the sky without knowing how high it was.
All of them were praised as geniuses that would not exist again in the world.
There were even cases where active professional hunters hid their identities and challenged.
However, not all of them could surpass Lee Ha-yoon.
Rather, I was frustrated and despaired that there was another sky.
In Lee Ha-yoon's eyes, Seo-joon was no different from them.
So Lee Ha-yoon is just dumbfounded. I couldn't even feel the slightest bit of anger.
“Since people praise you, you seem to be mistaken for what you are…”
Lee Ha-yoon continued with his characteristic cold voice.
“Are you going to stop bluffing on the topic that came up while trampling on insignificant guys?”
Of course, even if you look at it objectively, the students Seo-joon has dealt with so far have never been insignificant.
In the first place, those who are called promising players in the three major academies in Korea cannot be insignificant.
However, Lee Ha-yoon defined them as ‘insignificant' without hesitation.
It was the same for Lee Ha-yoon.
Lee Ha-yoon, who has a talent that no one could match.
Despair and frustration never existed in her life.
Heaven above the sky.
It was the world he would walk in, and at the same time, it was a word to refer to himself.
“I still haven’t come to my senses.”
So, despite Seo-jun's words, Lee Ha-yoon didn't feel any emotional agitation.
“You two two two… are you both ready?”
Perhaps because of the bizarre war of nerves between Seo-joon and Lee Ha-yoon, the referee's trembling intensified.
Seojun nodded slightly.
“Then… let the game begin!”
With the shout of the referee, the long-awaited final of the exchange tournament began.
Lee Ha-yoon prepared for Seo-joon's attack by drawing his sword for a long time.
No matter how similar it is, there must be some degree of ignorance. Carelessness was forbidden.
however.
“What are you doing?”
Instead of attacking, Seo-joon stood still and did not move.
He was just staring at Lee Ha-yoon, as if he was in the first position with his spear extended.
For a moment, I wondered what the plan was.
Seojun spat out his words.
“I told you. Do everything you can.”
Then he raised his hand as if he had no intention of attacking.
His remarks and actions bordered on arrogance beyond confidence.
And those were the words and actions that Lee Ha-yoon himself should have done, not Seo-jun.
“How dare you...”
Seo-joon cut off Lee Ha-yoon's words and replied.
“How can everyone say the same thing?”
hard!!
A sound like something collapsing came from Lee Ha-yoon's mouth.
Would such a sound be possible if mana was loaded into the teeth?
“......”
Lee Ha-yoon unwittingly let out a cold rage.
Originally, I was going to take care of it to some extent, but...
thump!
Now, I thought I would thoroughly trample it so that it would never climb again.
‘Certainly...'
Seo-joon nodded inwardly at Lee Ha-yoon's new model, who was flooding in as if scattering pure white light.
Obviously, Lee Ha-yoon was different from those Seo-joon had dealt with.
There was a reason people rated him as the greatest talent in the history of pro hunters.
Wedge love!
It was fast and accurate. So it was terrifyingly effective.
At first glance, there was no superfluity in the movements that seemed monotonous.
Restrained movement by purpose and necessity.
And a controlled blow that only tracks the target.
The perfect sum without any discrepancies was rather immersed in the difficulty that seduced the target.
but.
shhh!
Seo-joon avoided Lee Ha-yoon's blow with a simple movement.
didn't need a lot.
All I had to do was slide my left foot behind me and slant my body diagonally.
Lee Ha-yoon's first attack was in vain with only a movement close to warming up.
“...!”
Lee Ha-yoon raised her eyes involuntarily.
It was because the previous blow was not a blow with sincerity, but it was also a blow that was not light.
That's why I didn't think I'd be able to subdue Seo-joon with just one blow, but I didn't think I'd be able to avoid it this easily.
“Certainly, you have the ability to bluff. A little more serious…”
Lee Ha-yoon had no choice but to stop talking.
It was because there was not even a hint of tension in Seo-jun's expression.
That expression as if he was treating himself as a sewage.
Likewise, it was an action that only he could and had to do.
hard!!
The sound of something collapsing came from Lee Ha-yoon's mouth again.
And he said in a cold voice.
“……I think you brought it upon yourself.”
Wedge! Wedge liquid!
Lee Ha-yoon's sword sliced through the air and scattered an eerie shattering sound.
Every single blow can cause a fatal wound.
however.
Hiss! Shhh!
Nothing could touch Seo-joon's body.
avoid block shed
Hiss! Ka-ang! Kagagak!
Seo-joon's movements were truly mysterious.
At first, Lee Ha-yoon couldn't escape Chiron's senses.
That's why Seo-joon was able to perceive all of Lee Ha-yoon's attacks.
Chiron's senses couldn't escape even the ignorant stealth technique that took a step towards selflessness.
No matter how much Lee Ha-yoon is the greatest talent in the history of professional hunters.
Compared to the heroes of Cataclysm, even if it was lacking, it was still a long way off.
All of Lee Ha-yoon's attacks were within Seo-jun's cognitive range, and now he has learned Jang Sam-bong's steps.
shhh!
Lee Ha-yoon's attack couldn't even brush Seo-jun's collar.
“Three worlds…”
“That… that… is a human movement possible…?”
The atmosphere in the hall instantly turned into astonishment at the wonderful movement.
No one had their mouths wide open.
Even to them, Lee Ha-yoon's attack was terrifying.
I wonder how many people here can withstand Lee Ha-yoon's attack?
It was probably only possible for the representatives of the 3 major academies.
However, Seo-joon's movement, avoiding all of the attacks and shedding them, is...
Shiiik! Kakak!
“This... No matter where you look, you're a student...”
I started to doubt whether what I was seeing with my eyes was really a duel between students.
‘Why...'
That's why Lee Ha-yoon was more than surprised and embarrassed.
Most of the students he had dealt with so far ended up here.
There were a few students who managed to hold on, but even those students were in a hurry to block their attacks and eventually collapsed.
But now...
Whoosh! Shhh!
It was as if his every move and action was being predicted.
Don't be fooled by the mix of weeds.
Even if you try to induce the situation, you will get away with an attack.
Wouldn't it be like this if the intention itself, not the movement, was detected?
“Couldn’t this just be all of you?”
There was still no tension in Seo-joon's expression.
Lee Ha-yoon had no choice but to acknowledge Seo-joon to some extent.
Just as Seo-joon thinks Lee Ha-yoon is the best than the other students he has competed with.
Lee Ha-yoon also excelled Seo-joon more than others he had met.
At least, the nickname “Unapproachable Irregular” didn't come out of nowhere.
Spaaaaaa!
At that moment, a bright blue light burst from Lee Ha-yoon's sword.
It gradually thickened and soon began to take on a distinct shape.
“Oh, the blade!”
“oh my god! You use the Aura Blade so naturally?”
It was none other than Aura Blade.
The stage where mana is materialized beyond the aura sword.
It was a level that even professional hunters could barely achieve after decades of training, but Lee Ha-yoon casually activated the aura blade.
Lee Ha-yoon scattered the blade with the power of the Aura Blade.
No matter how mysterious the movement is, the destructive power of the Aura Blade cannot be ignored.
Unsurprisingly, Seo-joon took a big step back.
Then, he tightly gripped the spear he was holding.
and.
Spaaaaaaaa!
Vivid blue light burst from Seo-jun's window.
“Aura Blade!!”
“Isn’t this… too dangerous?”
A confrontation between Aura Blade and Aura Blade.
Considering the absolute power of that power, it was a problem that one mistake could be directly related to life.
However, the two parties just stared at each other without expressing anything.
and momentarily
Tadak!
widely!
As if they had made a promise, they rushed at each other.
The distance quickly narrows and Tao and Chang meet.
Kwaaaaang!
Clashes between attacks shake the space.
Vibrations as if the world were collapsing spread out in all directions.
Lee Ha-yoon could definitely feel it in the process.
‘I'm... being pushed...?”
The pushed one is this one.
Lee Ha-yoon's eyes widened.
It is impossible.
Being pushed back in a clash between Aura Blades...!
Wedge love!
With an eerie sound, Seo-joon's spear shoots as fast as light, aiming at Lee Ha-yoon.
It's too late to avoid it.
So you have to block it.
Lee Ha-yoon hurriedly picked up the sword, predicting Chang-ro.
I knew it.
For some reason, Seojun's eyes looked as if he was saying that.
Clumsy!
With the sound of something twisting, the rushing spear bent sharply.
The spear that had been piercing like light came forward swinging in a spiral.
Seo-joon's ever-changing attack might be embarrassing, but Lee Ha-yoon calmly turned around.
And Lee Ha-yoon couldn't understand Seo-joon's behavior.
Even if it was a spear wielded in a spiral, the spear would be distorted and twisted in this way.
The distorted and twisted spear breaks the posture and creates a loophole.
If Seo-jun's level was lower than Lee Ha-yoon's.
Surely that would have happened.
Kwaaaaang!
space is torn
My mind flashes along with the dizzying pain of twisting my internal organs.
Whoa!
Lee Ha-yoon's sword and Seo-jun's spear meet.
The shock that seems to shake the world is transmitted to Lee Ha-yoon as it is, and her consciousness goes farther away.
Lee Ha-yoon recalled in the shaky sight.
got hit by something... But with what?
no, at what point?
Thoughts continue, but they cannot reach the end.
I tried to say something, but something hot rose up in my throat and I couldn't bring it out.
My heart is as hot as if it had been burnt by fire.
Give me...!
A stream of red blood flowed from Lee Ha-yoon's mouth.
“This is ridiculous!!!”
someone shouts
Starting from him, everyone in the hall shouted in astonishment and astonishment.
The hall quickly becomes a mess and everyone jumps up from their seats.
But Lee Ha-yoon was nowhere to be seen. Didn't hear.
I couldn't hear it. I couldn't see.
Kwaaaaang!
action hardens.
Accident stops.
I can't handle the helpless and savage attacks.
As if the window were dancing, it was entangled and entered.
Wow!!
it doesn't stop It disappears as if flowing.
It flowed like water, but at the same time it possesses hideous destructive power.
“What if people are useless? What if you can't do it? I am a person.”
Lee Ha-yoon couldn't say anything.
Even when he opened his mouth, something hot rising from his throat interrupted it.
A lot of thoughts run through my head, but they soon disappear like dust.
Kwaaaaang! Kwaaaang!
Shocks that seemed to explode the space exploded one after another.
The blows that were too fast to block were pouring down like a shower.
“It goes right.”
And the words of Seo-joon.
Lee Ha-yoon finally let go of his mind.
You said this wasn't power...?
Lee Ha-yoon's trembling eyes turned to Seo-joon.
“Ran.”
It was a short chant.
In the midst of this astonishment and shock, it was clearly heard in Lee Ha-yoon's ears.
At the same time, Lee Ha-yoon could feel it.
A terrifying power that seemed to annihilate the whole area without a trace burst out of Seo-jun's window.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
“Cool!”
Red fresh blood forms a puddle and bursts out of Lee Ha-yoon's mouth.
The muscles in the arm holding the sword trembled.
“Me.”
And Seo-joon's voice is heard again.
It only echoed quietly like the cry of the grim reaper.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Lee Ha-yoon's body flew through the air.
Seo-joon's figure is visible through the blurred light.
The figure of Seo-joon with the spear pulled back looked like something huge that could not be approached.
beyond the waves of spears.
“Charl.”
A very fleeting moment.
Lee Ha-yoon could see and feel it.
A huge wave of murderous intent that seemed to crush the entire world.
A source of terrifying power that far transcends units.
It was only for a moment that he felt it, but Lee Ha-yoon was momentarily overwhelmed by the terrible power.
Whee-ae-ae-ae-aeae!!!
The eerie blasting sound is shot as if crushing everything.
The small light at the tip of the spear swallows everything it passes through.
That moment.
Wave window!!!
Seojun's spear could not withstand the force and shattered.
#
Fluff.
With Seo-jun's window shattering, Lee Ha-yoon was scattered on the floor.
Lee Ha-yoon's body was shaking like an aspen tree.
death.
It was the thought that had been dominating Lee Ha-yoon's head until just now.
“…”
“…”
“…”
And that thought was true of everyone who watched the spectacle.
So no one in the hall could open their mouth about the current situation.
Students, officials, reporters, everyone stood up from their seats.
I was looking at Lee Ha-yoon, who was shaking with his mouth wide open.
And Lee Ha-yoon couldn't understand the current situation.
“This can't be like this... I can't... This is unbelievable...”
Lee Ha-yoon never doubted that his strength and talent were the pinnacle of being human.
Compared to the heroes of Cataclysm, they are still lacking, but that is only a matter of time.
Lee Ha-yoon had no doubt that he would one day surpass those heroes.
But that strength is...
absurd.
weird. Nonsense. It can't be like this.
never. You can never be stronger than me. You can't be strong either.
How could there be someone better than you in the world?
He is the owner of the most outstanding talent in the history of pro hunter...
Changgurang.
At that moment, Seo-jun threw the broken window at random.
and then trudged.
“The game isn’t over yet.”
Seo-joon was approaching Lee Ha-yoon, who was sitting down.
