Episode 267
-Damn you! Search!
“… … Phew.”
The flames containing Ifrit’s anger flutter wildly.
Ifrit had a darker appearance than when she first appeared, and her destructive power became stronger as her appearance became darker.
Jinhyeok, feeling the pain of his airways burning with each breath, glared at Elione and Ifrit, who were in the midst of a storm of swirling flames.
‘As expected, he’s strong.’
After the first sparring, Jinhyeok received an answer to the sparring through conversation(?) with Elione.
Jinhyuk didn’t want to spar with Elione because he wanted to bother Ifrit.
He was confident that it would be helpful to him, so he went ahead with it even if Elione didn’t like it.
In addition, he was confident that this sparring would be helpful not only to himself but also to Elione.
And the result was right now.
Grumbling-
Elione remained calm amidst the hot fire storm.
Unlike the first day, all four spirit kings were not summoned or made manifest, but only one Ifrit was summoned.
Even though the overall firepower was lowered, it was a good enough strategy in that it could pour instant firepower into Ifrit, and it was on the verge of success.
Chi-Ik-
A situation where you can take damage from flames just by standing still.
It was difficult to breathe properly, and the darkness created by Dark melted away helplessly due to the heat that took over the entire sparring space.
There wasn’t much Jinhyeok could do in this absurd situation where the darkness was crushed by heat.
“Hmm, that’s not good.”
Even though his skin was burning and burning, Jinhyuk calmly observed the situation.
This was possible because Jinhyuk was able to withstand the heat well because he had already felt the extremely high heat in the blacksmith shop, and Jinhyuk was supported reliably by his overall resistance.
If it were an ordinary climber, his skin would have melted and his insides would have been cooked by the heat just by being engulfed in those flames, but this story had nothing to do with Jinhyeok.
But no matter how Jinhyuk was, he couldn’t help but see a way to overcome this situation.
“It’s over.”
Looking at the giant fire fist of the fire giant falling on his head, Jinhyeok remembered his defeat.
Kwaaaaang!
Sparring for a week.
4 wins out of 4 matches.
It was the moment when the record was broken.
It was the moment when a new record of 4 wins and 1 loss out of 5 was broken. * * *
“… … “I won!”
-Haha! Even that monster ends up losing in the end!
Elione and Ifrit, confident of victory, burst into laughter and exclamations of joy.
Sparring for a week.
In a total of four sparrings, excluding today’s sparring, they had to face the disastrous result of total defeat.
“It’s all thanks to Ifrit.”
-What are you talking about? It’s a dark elf. Isn’t it because your talent is outstanding?
But just today.
The mood of the two people seemed to be blown away as they added one loss to Jinhyuk’s flawless record.
Seeing them unable to hide their joy as they gold-plated each other’s faces, Jinhyeok walked out from the spot where the heat from the flames had blown away, looking quite fine.
-… … Why am I fine?
“… … Iknow, right?”
It was clear that Jinhyeok was completely swept away by the attack, and there was no way for Jinhyeok to escape as he was caught in the wave of flames spreading around him.
So, although victory was guaranteed, why is Jinhyeok okay? When the two people feel confused by that fact.
“Okay. “Because it’s true that I lost.”
“But why are you okay?”
“I used powers other than the spirit, so I’m fine.”
“… … ah.”
Jinhyuk answered their questions.
What they were tying up was Jinhyuk as a spiritist, not Jinhyuk as an all-master.
Of course, since Dalian was fighting as a spiritist, he used different powers, so Jinhyeok was defeated –
“Ugh, I feel bad.”
-… … I agree. I thought I saw his face suffering from burns.
“… … My personality has been twisted. Elione and Ifrit, you too.”
Elione and Ifrit, who could be said to be the main players in the victory, expressed their displeasure.
I tried so hard because I wanted to see Jinhyuk broken, but Jinhyuk escaped the crisis by simply revealing his other powers.
“Do you know the pain of defeat and the real pain?”
-I agree. Owner of chaos. No matter how much I told you to f*ck off, didn’t you just persistently harass me throughout the sparring!
“… … In the first place, I am used to the pain of defeat or the real pain, and I usually have a long ending. “If you had just said you didn’t want to sign the contract in the first place, you wouldn’t have done it.”
-… … Pfft.
However, it wasn’t that Jinhyuk had nothing to say.
Even if he did not suffer from the two people, Jinhyeok was familiar with defeat and pain, and the long ending was not only to avoid leaving behind regrets, but also to instill fear in those who would betray him and stab him in the back.
Jinhyuk smiled as he watched the two people murmuring as they finally ran out of things to say.
“But all I can say is that it was great. Both were great. The method of burning the darkness around with flames isn’t bad. “The efforts to prevent the beginning of the Infinite Gwanggyeok have finally paid off.”
“Hehe, do you know how much thought and research we put into it?”
-Yes, it’s been a while since I used my brain to calculate the mana required for the temperature at which the darkness burns, and to erase the darkness around you and at the same time think of a way to attack you, the main body.

Today’s victory was the result of the two men’s efforts.
Knowing that, Jinhyuk kept a smile on his lips and opened his mouth.
“It looks good. Ifrit. It didn’t start out very well, but I think we can have a not-so-bad relationship. Please take good care of Elione like you do now.”
Nod-
A silent bow is given with a slight bow.
Although it was a simple thank you, Ifrit could not hide his surprise that the person giving it was Jinhyeok.
-Hmm! greatness! Well, I thought well of you too. In terms of temperament and ability, you have many similarities to me. Because you and I are the owners of chaos, it was like a fate that could not be connected.
“Don’t make excuses. “Dark and Shine have a contract.”
-… … That’s what makes them weird!
A moment of gratitude.
Ifrit was aggrieved by Jinhyuk’s words, where he sarcastically discussed the past contract, but Jinhyuk only laughed.
Ifrit boasted a fiery temper as expected from the Spirit King of Fire, and it was very funny to see him immediately get caught in the middle of teasing and get angry, so Jinhyeok had no intention of stopping teasing him for the time being.
At the time, I was disappointed about the contracts with Ifrit and other spirit kings, but now I don’t particularly regret them.
‘Dark and Shine are enough.’
The reason was simple.
Dark and Shine.
Not only did he not feel inadequate in performing elemental magic as the Spirit King of Darkness and Light, but the four major attributes of nature could also be fully used as magic.
“Then I guess I should go to work.”
-The thrill of victory! It’s the best.
Jinhyeok caught them as Elione, who was relaxing after sparring and moving on to work, and Ifrit, who was trying to return to the spirit world with a happy face, caught them.
“for a moment. “Just one more round today.”
“… … why?”
“Today is the last day. “I won’t ask you to spar with me after today, so just one more time.”
Although it was calm, Elione was deeply troubled by the suggestion that they spar once more.
‘It’s the last time, so should we do it one more time?’
And Elione, intoxicated with the sweetness of victory, looked at Ifrit, fascinated by the words, “It’s the end.”
“how is it?”
-Not bad. This sparring will end in a short fight, so you will have plenty of stamina and mana.
“That’s right.”
Jinhyeok’s spirit magic could be seen as an ability that focused on ‘fastness’ and ‘brilliance’.
In other words, the more time you give him, the more likely he is to win.
Elione realized this through defeat and researched a way to capture Jinhyeok’s speed and splendor, and the result was Ifrit.
Elione, who achieved victory based on her research, took victory by crushing the beam of light that flew in as soon as it started and burning the darkness with fire, as the saying goes.
Therefore, not only physical strength but also mana is quite generous.
Hearing that it was the last time, it was natural for Elione to want to get one more win.
‘We can’t immediately destroy what we’ve been thinking about for several days.’
Because they believed in their efforts and research, Elione and Ifrit looked at each other with eyes full of faith and grinned.
“Okay, let’s do it!”
-I can’t help it because it’s the last time. But it will engrave your second defeat in your heart. Owner of chaos.
Jinhyeok smiled as he watched the two of them talking about having a good time with smiling faces.
It was a very cold and chilling smile.
Of course, it was natural that it was a smile that Elione and Ifrit had never seen before. * * *
“as soon as?”
“Does not matter.”
“All power from the beginning, right?”
“okay.”
At the end of the once again organized sparring hall, two people stand facing each other.
Naturally, Ifrit was sitting behind Elione, and Shine and Dark were sitting on Jinhyeok’s shoulders with calm faces.
It was natural for Ifrit’s fiery temper to be stimulated by the sight of him not seeming to have been greatly affected by the previous defeat.
-Unconditionally win. I’ll crush the bridge of their noses.
“… … “I hope so.”
Elione also stood with a stern expression on her face, perhaps because she was infected by Ifrit, or because she felt unreasonable anger at Dark and Shine, who did not care about their previous defeat.
Their preparation was the same as before.
First, crush the first beam of light before it penetrates into the darkness.
Second, it burns the darkness before another beam of light is created.
By only protecting these two things, he puts pressure on Jinhyuk.
That is their winning plan.
Once victory was tasted, there were no crystals, and as soon as the battle began-
Faaah!
A bright halo of light exploded.
Elione waved her hand as if she was familiar with the radiance that signaled the beginning of the ray of light that she had seen so many times over the past few days of sparring.
Push!
The curtain of flame envelops and crushes beams of light flying at the speed of light.
Elione calmly moved on to the next step as the beam of light became indiscernible.
‘Now if we block the darkness, we will win.’
The darkness into which the light beam enters.
At that moment, Elione waved her hand again and created a powerful flame, thinking that she could win just like before if she just erased it.
The darkness that filled the surrounding space disappears along with the beam of light.
The moment when joy passes over Elione and Ifrit’s faces as they see the black darkness disappearing in flames.
“Oji Gwangtan (五指光彈), Oji Amtan (五指暗彈).”
“… … !”
Elione’s complexion turns pale when she sees Jinhyeok’s right and left hands spread out towards her and the ends pointing towards them.
This is because there was light at the end of the right hand and deep darkness at the end of the left.
And as soon as Jinhyuk finished speaking, the light and darkness in both hands shot out like bullets.
Tung-
The five darknesses that raged in the air immediately settled around Elione and Ifrit, and at the same time, the five rays of light that arrived after them seeped into the darkness.
“ah… … no!”
Unexpected results.
The number of cases that were not taken into account because Jinhyeok only shoots out a single beam of light and does not create new darkness when the darkness scattered around disappears.
When it became a reality here and now, Elione let out a scream.
However, even though I stretched out my hand as if twisting, it was impossible to block the darkness and light that shot out at an imperceptible speed.
The reason why the initial destruction was possible was because Jinhyeok anticipated the first beam of light and prepared accordingly, not because he destroyed it by sight.
Shrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The moment when five beams of light disappeared into five darkness.
“… … finished.”
Elione drooped her body as if in despair.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwang!
In the darkness, ten beams of light, split in two, shot out and repeatedly penetrated into the darkness.
Infinite light.
Jinhyeok’s spirit magic has a different beginning but the same ending.
The moment it unfolded, a feast of rays of light that made it impossible for them to open their eyes began to hit Elione and Ifrit.
“Originally, the person who won last was the winner… … “Do you know?”
“Aim for this!”
Elione glared at Jinhyeok with a look of exasperation as he looked at her with a grin, but-
“Originally, if it had ended in my victory, I had no intention of revealing it. But it’s really ruining it… … amazing. So, it would be right for me to bring out the numbers I was hiding.”
“Chajinyeeoeoeook!”
“The last winner is the true winner. And what can I do when I am used to losing but prefer winning?”
It was a shameless statement, but Jinhyeok was confident.
Although he had already won more than Elione, he was not satisfied with his first loss, and as he himself declared, Jinhyeok, who had a long tail, did not sit idly by and ignore his defeat.
Jinhyeok, who had even used his hidden moves to crush Elione and Ifrit, looked at Elione and Ifrit running away from the beam of light with a relieved face.
-fun! fun!
-… … You really have bad taste.
Shinman could only shake his head as he watched Jinhyuk, who did not give up his desire for victory until the very end.
“My favorite food is ‘victory.’ “It’s natural to crave it.”
Despite Shine’s scolding, Jinhyeok just calmly ‘gorged’ on the ‘victory’.
That’s how Jinhyuk and Elione’s sparring ended.
Also a dark elf village.
It was also a moment when war was in the air in the Dark Forest.
