Chapter 229
Episode 229:
The conditions for the manifestation of power are different for each Master.
Sometimes you have to give up a part of your body, eat something, or assume a certain posture.
And just like the conditions for manifestation, the aftereffects after manifesting the power are also different.
Overloading of the body, not being able to use Auras for a certain period of time, not being
able to use powers, etc… Powers were not something that could be used as much as you wanted.
In that respect, the chief was definitely strange.
The chieftain was wrapped in power.
How on earth?
From what I observed while fighting him, he had never released his powers.
Even if he gave up part of his body, it would have been impossible.
Because the power is a force that destroys the balance of the world, it cannot be used continuously.
It was clear that there were certain conditions under which the chieftain could continue to use his powers.
We had to find those conditions.
The good news is that we have two masters.
Bane quickly learned about the Chieftain’s power, as he said that only masters of the same level know each other well.
“It appears that his powers are physical enhancements. Super-strength and resistance to mana with skin that can’t even lift a blade…”
The wondrous appearance the chieftain has shown so far is all made up of power.
In fact, it would be impossible to do such a thing with pure physical ability alone.
It wouldn’t be known if he used Auras, but he did something impossible even if he used Auras, so it made sense if he used powers.
Because it was power that made the impossible possible.
“The most likely possibility is that he maintains his powers in exchange for giving up part of his body.”
It is said that there is a person like that among the masters who fought with him in the past.
A master who gives up a part of his body to use his powers.
However, the difference from the chief is that he lost both eyes and gained powers related to the senses.
The power to see and feel everything made even assassins reluctant.
It is said that even those skilled in assassination could not deceive his senses.
It may seem good if you look at it this way, but his power is said to be a double-edged sword.
It’s definitely good in battle, but other than that, it’s worse than nothing.
He said his mind couldn’t handle it because he felt things he shouldn’t feel.
And the method of destroying him is simple; all you have to do is hold on until he gets tired.
Because their senses are so sensitive, they cannot continue the fight for long.
Every power has strengths and weaknesses.
It won’t be any different if you’re a chieftain.
It is impossible to maintain power 24 hours a day, all year round.
“Some powers like that have a duration, but that one doesn’t seem to have one.”
Bane watches the chieftain’s every move.
It wasn’t easy to spot, but his face was bright rather than dark.
Now that we had guessed what the Chieftain’s power was, it was only a matter of time before we discovered how to destroy it.
“Arjuna!”
Whenever the chieftain came close, Arjuna’s arrow always flew and blocked him.
“Aaaah!”
The chief, who had been stopped dozens of times, let out a loud roar.
If you think you can reach it, it gets blocked, and if you think you can reach it, you get pushed away, so you have reached the limit of your patience.
He gets angry and runs away screaming.
It’s threatening. No, it has to be threatening to be normal.
‘what…?’
There was something strange about the sight of the chief attacking me with his eyes rolled back.
It seemed as if the strange current in his body was lifted for a moment.
Is that possible? It was the chief who was chasing me like crazy because of my provocation.
If it is a power related to emotions, the ignorance at that time cannot be explained.
What on earth is there any correlation?
The chieftain who was running was startled and dodged Arjuna’s arrow aimed at his head.
Why did I avoid it?
With his monstrous body, he would have been able to block it with his arms.
“Whoa…”
The chief from a distance takes a deep breath.
I narrowed my eyes at his behavior, which I saw for the first time.
“Lord Bane…”
“Yes, I saw it too.”
The corners of Bane’s mouth rise as he speaks.
I nodded at his crooked smile, crumpled like a demon.
There’s no way he didn’t see what I saw.
“It was something very simple. All I had to do was upset him.”
His body becomes lighter as he mutters that he thought it was too complicated.
Bane smiled bitterly at the chief.
“You guys are quite annoying.”
The chief repeatedly clenched and unclenched his fist as he spoke.
We shrugged our shoulders when he said that he was truly annoyed.
It was normal to be irritated.
When dealing with an enemy, the most effective way to create an opening for the enemy was to touch their emotions.
But I had no idea that the chief’s power was related to emotions.
In fact, without that, the chief’s authority was a fraud itself.
The tenacity to withstand the power of a master, the regenerative power that surpasses that of a troll, and the strength that is superior to that of an ogre.
Even if you only have one of them, there will be very few enemies, but you have them all.
If there were no restrictions, how many beings would be able to defeat him?
It will be difficult to kill him unless an adult dragon or several masters join in.
‘How did Ahar kill such a monster?’
Saying that the barbarians were wiped out by Ahar is equivalent to saying that the chieftain was killed by Ahar.
Actually, if you look at the original work, Ahar, who swept away the barbarians, seemed to have received a buff and became twice as strong as before.
I was puzzled because it wasn’t clear exactly how he became so strong, but after meeting the chief, I realized that there must have been a story behind it.
By killing the chief, he was able to gain that much power.
“We shouldn’t give him time to calm down. “You have to keep confusing it.”
Provocation.
What the Chief needs to do is make him angry and nothing else.
When I thought about it, it was like that. Even when he put his hand in the fire and when I secretly visited his hut, he kept an expressionless expression.
A little interest and apathy.
Other than that, I didn’t feel any emotions.
“I am confident that it is a provocation. “You can completely shake off your soul.”
“good. I believe it. “Because there’s something that lured me here.”
Bane gave permission without the slightest hesitation.
I was confident.
We figured out what the chief was sensitive to.
What the chieftain gave up for power was the most important ‘thing’ for a man.
Although it is not very necessary in battle, it is bound to become a complex for him.
They say that strength is everything, but the next most important thing to them after strength was fertility.
The driving force that enabled them to maintain strong influence in the South.
Because he was the chief, he was stronger than anyone else among the barbarians, so the barbarians did not say much to him, otherwise he could have been ostracized among the barbarians.
Knowing full well that he would be sensitive, I decided to attack the chieftain.
“Hey Banpoon!”
“Half-penny… are you talking to me?”
“Then who else is Banpoon here besides you? What’s the point of being strong when you’re useless in other ways? “That’s half a penny or something.”
“Ha… I will absolutely rip you to death!”
It was the same trick that had lured me here, but I guess I didn’t have the ability to learn, so I fell for the provocation right away.
“There is no substance, there is no substance. “For some reason, he said he was alone at night.”
“shut up!”
“why me? “If you don’t want to hear that, you could come and shut me up.”
“If I get caught, I will kill you!”
“Then I shouldn’t get caught. Oh right. Can’t you catch me? Actually, it’s strange that a no-nonsense guy would catch me.”
“Aaaah!”
The chief rushes in indignantly.
I narrowly avoided his hand and said all the hurtful things I could.
‘It works!’
The air current surrounding the body of the chieftain, who is rushing towards him in great anger, seems to disappear, as if it is linked to the chieftain’s emotions.
“Huh…!”
At that time, Bane rushed forward and swung his sword.
Because it was a sword strike with the power to cut anything, not just Aurors, the chief was scared and threw himself away every time.
“shit!”
Grinding his teeth, the chief tried his best to calm down, but…
“How about a nickname for him? “It seems like a perfect fit, don’t you think?”
“I will tear you to death!”
He fell for my provocation.
He is a person who really enjoys being provoked.
“Why do you look more and more tired? Is that normal? “Because you’re sleeping.”
“…!”
The chief was shouting something, but I couldn’t understand what he was saying.
He gets so excited that he begins to run wild, and I wonder how someone who gets tripped up so easily has been able to hold out for as long as he has.
At this level, with a little bit of exaggeration, it was as easy to provoke as poking a big balloon with a needle.
‘Or maybe I’m just really good at provocation.’
The latter was more likely.
Having lived in modern times, I have no choice but to be good at this.
Compared to places where people ask how their parents are doing just by playing a game, this place was like pure water.
Aside from asking how someone is doing, just saying hello can make people roll their eyes.
“You… you don’t usually think of me like that, right?”
“Oh no.”
“….”
“Not really.”
It was so shocking that even Bane would have looked away in surprise.
“If it’s like that… it’s worth losing your temper.”
Bane raised his sword in pure admiration and blocked the chieftain’s attack.
Kwaaang – A green Auror arrow strikes the Achilles’ heel of the chieftain who is about to hit the ground.
The chief collapses with the sound of a bomb exploding.
Even though he was hit by an arrow made of Auror, the chieftain’s ankle was only punctured and not completely cut off.
Even that was restored in an instant thanks to quick recovery.
As I was running around trying to avoid the fallen chieftain, I was able to take a breather for a very brief moment.
No matter how monstrous the body of a chief is, it will inevitably take time to get up from a fallen state.
That’s what I thought… I didn’t think I was paying attention, but the chief disappeared from sight.
-Raymond Duda!
I bowed my head. The chieftain’s legs, running on all fours like an animal, grazed his hair.
I almost reflexively avoided it and looked back at Riems with startled eyes.
The chieftain was so fast that Bane, the sword master who had raised his senses to the limit with his auror, momentarily lost track of his movements.
Even if Arjuna had time to create arrows or strike, Bane and I were unable to react.
Rims clearly saw such an attack.
Is it different because it’s a dragon? I don’t know exactly, but strangely enough, I agree.
Since it is called the strongest creature on earth, it is bound to be superior in all aspects.
‘If you do this well…’
Riems tells me. Where is the attack coming from?
Thanks to Riems’ warning, I was able to avoid and block attacks that would have normally come from places I could not see or feel.
When I thought about it, I could have used this method a long time ago.
Even though my senses are sensitive, I can’t beat the dragon’s senses.
-Head and neck! It comes from your back!
He moved and his eyes lit up at the words of Riems, who shouted with strange excitement.
If I do well, I think I will be able to deal with, if not defeat, the Chieftain without Bane’s help.
