Episode 98. Either way it doesn’t make sense
Kim Jin-seong continued to step back and dangerously block Shinwoong’s attacks.
However, Kim Jin-seong was ultimately unable to overcome the suddenly widening power gap.
At some point, my steps got twisted and my posture collapsed.
Shinwoong, not missing the opportunity, snuggled into Jinseong Kim’s arms and held out his palm toward his head as if he was going to finish it off.
Just before Shinwoong’s hand touched Kim Jinseong, the air around him suddenly changed drastically.
“… … !”
A black wave spreads like a wave in an instant centered around Jinseong Kim.
It was a ‘space dominated by demonic energy.’
At the same time, Shinwoong’s palm hit Kim Jinseong’s head,
puck!
Just like that, Kim Jin-seong’s head exploded like a watermelon.
Some spectators jumped to their feet.
However, Shinwoong just looked down with a disappointed expression. The remains of the scarecrow were seen on the floor.
‘… what a waste.’
Shinwoong looked to the side with regret.
Before he knew it, Kim Jin-seong’s figure, far away, caught his eye.
‘It was just perfect timing.’
The situation just now was a genius opportunity for Shinwoong.
If Kim Jin-seong had not been able to quickly create a ‘space dominated by demonic energy’.
If only Kim Jin-seong’s movements hadn’t become much faster as a result.
His head probably exploded in Shinwoong’s palm before he could even use the transformation technique like he did just now.
“Phew, I avoided it… !”
“And that’s Kim Jin-seong’s mana area, right?”
“Yeah, I was wondering why they don’t make it!”
Suddenly, looking at the stadium covered in black waves, the loud voices of the spectators could be heard all the way to the VIP section.
Park Jin-woong, who was sitting there,
“Whew, that’s a relief.”
For a moment, he seemed to be sighing in relief and leaning his body against the back of the chair.
‘Why are you using that ability now? ‘Use it sooner!’
Park Jin-woong says something to Kim Jin-seong as if he is scolding him.
However, his reaction was only possible because he knew nothing about Kim Jin-seong.
‘Is this what happens?’
In fact, Kim Jin-seong, the person involved, was currently in a state of admiration as he saw the space dominated by demonic energy.
‘I thought it wouldn’t be created because it’s maintaining a state of divine unity.’
Jinseong Kim looked at the notification window that had just popped up in front of him.
▶ A ‘space dominated by magic’ has been created.
▶ The ‘Shinma Unity’ feature and the ‘Space Ruled by Demonic Energy’ are being activated at the same time. Vis Crimea points are consumed twice as fast as usual.
When I read the notification window, it seemed that by increasing the speed of point consumption, it was possible to maintain the state of ‘Shinma Unity’ and ‘Space dominated by Magi’.
‘Good.’
It was good news for Kim Jin-seong.
Anyway, I had a lot of Vis Crimea points accumulated during the second round of the preliminaries, so I had some room to spare.
‘Fighting in this space is a different story.’
That’s when Kim Jin-seong’s eyes, looking at the entire stadium rippling with black waves, began to fill him with confidence.
Shinwoong was seen leaving his seat again and attacking Kim Jinseong.
Kim Jin-seong raised his sword again.
Kang! Starting with sounds and sounds, the battle between the two began once again.
However, the situation has clearly changed from a moment ago.
“Look at that! Kim Jin-seong will not be pushed out any further!”
“I guess I’ll become much stronger if I fight in that black space!”
“Shinwoong, that stupid bastard, I should have killed him a long time ago… !”
According to the audience’s reaction, Kim Jin-seong, who had been helplessly pushed aside a little while ago, was now exchanging attacks and defenses on equal footing.
The two fought fiercely for a while and soon,
Cough!
After making a louder-than-ever collision noise, they both jumped back without even thinking about who was first.
Afterwards, the two look at each other and catch their breath.
For the first time since the conflict began, there has been a lull.
“Wow!!”
“It’s a truly great match… !”
“There’s plenty to eat at the famous feast?”
“what? “Has so much time already passed?”
The audience, who had been watching intently until then, gave thunderous applause to the two.
Just looking at the matches so far, it was a performance worthy of being unanimously selected as the best match of all three rounds of the preliminary round.
Cheers and applause from over 100,000 spectators. However, the parties involved did not seem to care.
They seemed to be extremely focused only on the other person’s movements.
‘How should I deal with him from now on?’ .’
Kim Jin-seong quickly turns his head inwardly while holding out his sword towards Shin-woong.
‘Even if you use the subspace magic circle, it won’t be of any use.’

Kim Jin-seong recalled the time when the ‘Shinma Harmony’ notification window appeared.
▷ You can attack other dimensions.
In other words, with a level of skill like Shinwoong, the wall forming a sub-space can be easily torn apart with a single attack.
‘There is no need to waste mana and install a magic circle. then… .’
Kim Jin-seong, who was shaking his head some more, soon broke the lull first and rushed at Shin-woong.
At the same time, Shinwoong also ran towards them, and thus the second match between the two began.
While exchanging several attacks, Jinseong Kim used two skills in succession towards Shinwoong.
▶ I used the skill ‘Neutralization’.
▶ I used my skill ‘Confusion’.
The ‘Incapacitate – Confusion’ skill combo that Jinseong Kim often used.
Let’s use it,
“… … !”
Shinwoong’s eyes wavered for a moment. It seemed like the skill combo worked to some extent.
But that was all.
Suddenly, a white glow appeared from Shinwoong’s eyes for a very short time and then disappeared.
Afterwards, he accepted all of Kim Jin-seong’s attacks without any problem.
‘… ‘Failure.’
After that, I used it a few more times whenever I had time, but the results were the same. Shinwoong continued to shine in his eyes and appeared to be healing from his confusion.
‘I think Shinwoong’s ability also has an immunity to abnormal conditions.’
Jinseong Kim made that decision in his mind. This was because the way his eyes glowed just now was no different from when he suddenly became stronger earlier.
‘But why do your eyes shine like that every time you use a skill? Is this a technique that uses mana? … Sigh.’
Cough!
Kim Jin-seong blocked Shin-woong’s sword and at the same time turned back and swung his sword widely. As if Shinwoong had expected it, he bent his waist to avoid him and jumped back at Kim Jinseong.
Afterwards, Kim Jin-seong used various skills to provide variables. Spider webs, shadow hiding, stealth, etc… .
However, unlike before, no variables had any effect on Shinwoong now.
‘I’ve already adapted to the skills I use.’
Perhaps because it had been quite a while since the attack took place, Shinwoong had completely adapted to Kim Jin-seong’s attack pattern.
On the contrary, every time he used a skill, Shinwoong noticed and pushed him hard, so there were more times when Jinseong Kim was in crisis.
‘If this happens, I’m at a disadvantage. We need a new variable.’
Kim Jin-seong did not want to fight in an all-out war with Shin-woong, who was far superior in swordsmanship.
Kim Jin-seong’s head began to spin quickly.
‘… Of course, this would be good.’
That was when Jinseong Kim made a decision in his mind.
A notification window popped up in front of his eyes.
▶ Through skill enhancement, ‘Transformation Self-Immortal Art’ is strengthened to ‘Creation Art’.
▷ Clone Art – Summons an identical clone with 75% of the user’s abilities. The clone moves according to the user’s instructions, and transforms into a scarecrow when its HP reaches 0. Consumes 1000 mana when used.
▶ 10,000 Vis Crimea points were used to enhance the skill.
Wow!
Shinwoong suddenly blocked two swords flying at the same time and took a step back without realizing it.
“… … !”
Shinwoong’s brows narrowed as he looked ahead. He had an incredulous look on his face.
“uh? what?!”
“There are two Kim Jin-seong?”
“Right? I wasn’t mistaken… ?”
“what? Is it an alter ego?”
The two Kim Jin-seongs look identical without a single error.
The two soon attacked Shinwoong at the same time with the same attack stance.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Shinwoong had a hard time blocking the two’s joint attacks and had no choice but to keep retreating.
It was a situation where he couldn’t gain the upper hand against just one person, but with one more person joining him, of course Shinwoong had no choice but to be on the defensive.
“Huh, heh heh…” !”
Oh Byeong-guk, who was watching this, burst into laughter with a surprised face.
Kang Kyung-kwon also opened his mouth with an expression of admiration.
“It’s pure self-immolation. “It’s been a long time since I last saw you.”
“This is a bit surprising. I never thought he would even possess the art of self-immolation… .”
The pure self-immolation technique that Oh Byeong-guk spoke of.
That meant a self-immolation technique that could use the user’s abilities as is.
This self-immolation technique was currently considered one of the best skills among hunters.
First of all, it is possible to gain a numerical advantage in a confrontation with an enemy through self-immolation. Like the current situation with Kim Jin-seong and Shin Woong.
There is no need to explain how great it is to have an advantage in numbers in a fight between experts.
“If it is truly a pure clone technique, it would be possible to summon a larger number… .”
That was when Kang Kyung-kwon said that much.
“… Ugh! “One more!”
“I guess it’s really like the self-immolation technique you only see in cartoons!”
“oh my god… !”
Kang Kyung-kwon looked at the stadium again as surprised shouts came from all over the audience.
Then he nodded.
“That’s right.”
Kim Jin-seong, who had already increased to three, was launching a fierce attack with Shin-woong surrounded.
and,
Okay!
In the end, we were able to see Shinwoong unable to withstand and allowing the attack to his left thigh.
Kim Jin-seong, who saw that,
‘good. ‘Let’s push through like this.’
I thought to myself. I decided that now was my opportunity.
And I immediately used the recovery function.
▶ MP has recovered to 100%.
▶ Now that you have fully recovered, stop using Vis Creama Points.
After replenishing his mana to 100% with his recovery ability, Kim Jin-seong used the self-immolation technique once again.
The number of clones increased to three and Kim Jin-seong began to push Shin-woong even more fiercely.
Okay!
Wow!
Soon, deep wounds began to appear here and there on Shinwoong’s body.
It was difficult to endure against three, and it was almost impossible to survive against four while injured.
Soon, Shinwoong, whose entire body began to become stained with blood, began to visibly stumble,
‘good! Now we’ve definitely won!’
Kim Jin-seong’s eyes lit up. He was clearly in a position to win.
If Shinwoong hadn’t used his ability, it might have been because he had already used his ability.
‘Now to finish… ?!’
Kim Jin-seong’s pupils widened as he took his stance for the final attack.
White eye glow.
A brighter light than ever burst forth from Shinwoong’s eyes.
At the same time, Shinwoong swung his sword sharply.
It was an overwhelmingly faster speed than before.
Okay!
With a single slash of the knife, the heads of the two clones nearby were cleanly separated.
‘no… !’
Jinseong Kim opened his eyes wide.
During the brief moment of his shock, Shinwoong cut off the head of the remaining one and then rushed towards Kim Jinseong’s body.
Cough!
‘Ugh… !’
Kim Jin-seong, who reflexively blocked the attack, had no choice but to step back due to the tremendous shock he felt from his grip on the sword.
Shinwoong rushed straight ahead as if he wasn’t going to give him any chance.
Go go go go!
Shinwoong is fiercely driving. And Kim Jin-seong takes a step back, focusing only on blocking.
It seemed that Shinwoong had returned to the same situation as when he first used his ability.
Jinseong Kim couldn’t believe this situation.
‘I’ve already used that ability, so how can I…? . no way?’
An assumption soon came to Kim Jin-seong’s mind.
‘Surely this is an ability that can be used repeatedly?’
Otherwise, the current situation was not explained.
However, if duplicate use is possible as Kim Jin-seong hypothesizes, that also makes no sense.
If so, it was because it was possible to become infinitely stronger.
Jinseong Kim gritted his teeth without realizing it.
