Chapter 253. The Last Barrier Pt. 3
Swish!
A powerful yet simple stab, one thrust without using any skills, rushed toward Arthur.
Woosh!
The sword, shining with seven colors, carried all of Heimdall’s power.
Clang!n)-o-(v/-ε--1)(b)-1/-n
When Arthur’s and Heimdall’s swords collided and sparks erupted, flames began to rise from beneath Heimdall’s feet.
“O’ sinner, burn in retribution.”
Horus's power was revealed. It was a flame of the utmost heat that Lee Jun-Kyeong’s flames could never compare to.
“Enemy.”
Hiss.
But with a single word from Heimdall, the flame was quickly extinguished. Red light had descended from the rainbow in the sky and consumed the flames. At the same time, the light flew towards Merlin, who was preparing a spell. Merlin quickly blocked the incoming flames with magic, which were bolstered as a mixture of the powers of Horus and Heimdall.
“Ugh!” Merlin coughed as she swayed.
Clang, clang, clang!
In the meantime, Arthur refused to let Heimdall breathe. Unlike Heimdall, who was using brilliant skills, he pressed forward using flawless swordsmanship. Excalibur constantly flashed forward, making Heimdall hesitate and retreat.
Slash, slash!
Where Heimdall stood, the ground around him split apart.
As Arthur’s blade spat out blade light after blade light, splitting the ground apart, at the same time, Athena’s spear pierced toward Heimdall’s back with imperceptible speed.
“...”
Heimdall stamped on the ground, flustered, and an orange light shone down and blocked Athena’s path. When her spear ran into the orange glow, it froze in place.
“It’s stuck...!”
The moment Heimdall turned around and saw Athena, Arthur said from behind him, “Gotcha.”
Excalibur struck with a great clang.
“Moon Cleaving!”
At that moment, Heimdall felt a mana that made his entire body feel cold. Along with the sound of the coming wave, a green light shone down on his back.
“Damn it!”
BANG!
The green light deflected the enormous mana unleashed by Excalibur, scattering it like blades of grass and blooming as they were razed.
“What sort of bullshit is this?”
As the blades of grass reached Heimdall, the Hunter’s complexion returned to the pristine state prior to the start of the battle.
“The flames...!”
On the other hand, as the leaves scattered from the green light reached Horus, they instead began to grow by consuming the mana within his flame. Before he knew it, several trees were wrapped around him.
Flicker!
Horus spewed out a dense flame and burned the trees that stopped him from moving, finally dissipating the green light.
“This...”
However, the group’s complexions darkened.
“Is this even winnable?”
The longer the fight continued, the more absurd it became.
“How can such an ability exist?”
Heimdall had something that could nullify all attacks to nothing and even heal him. Combined with the abilities that haven’t yet been revealed, it was honestly ridiculous.
“And all of that is just one ability for a single person.”
It was impossible for them to push him back. In truth, they were the ones being pushed around. As Arthur prepared for his next attack with a nervous expression, the blue light of the rainbow in the sky made a move.
“It’s coming!”
Finally, anticipating that Heimdall was about to actively go on the offensive, they took a defensive stance.
Tap, tap, taptaptaptaptap.
“Rain?”
However, all the blue light had done was cause raindrops to fall from the otherwise normal sky. The sky suddenly became dark as gloomy clouds appeared out of nowhere and started pouring down raindrops.
“Isn’t this better for us?” Arthur said, smiling at the opportunity given to them to strike back.
It was water.
Dual swordsmanship was something that was nearly impossible to learn. Moreover, no matter how strong the swords were, Arthur had never seen someone actually wield two two-handed swords using dual swordsmanship. The issue was with the reach and handleability of the swords.
In general, dual swordsmanship uses two daggers or two one-handed swords of appropriate weight and length.[1]
Still, he soon forgot about it as the man before him continued to belie expectations.
“Well, you’ll see how it works soon,” Heimdall said before suddenly disappearing. He reappeared right in front of Arthur.
CLANG!
Arthur blocked Heimdall’s dual swords with Excalibur, but it was as if he had been driven into the ground like a stake by an enormous force.
BANG!
“You’re not the only sword master here, Arthur.”
“This is impossible...”
Arthur clearly felt Heimdall’s years of experience in the attack just now. Swordsmanship was not something easy to learn as it was something completely different from physical strength or power. Martial arts were only something possible to learn if someone spent copious years, collecting time and experience.
‘That monster-like brat.’
That was why Lee Jun-Kyeong was so special. He had quickly learned all of Arthur’s sword skills, almost as if he had been reading a book. That was something that just felt impossible and could only be said to be a cheat code.
However, Heimdall’s swordsmanship clearly felt different from Lee Jun-Kyeong’s by-the-book style.
‘He has an incredible amount of experience.’
There was an immeasurable experience inherent to his sophisticated swordsmanship, and it was something that felt as though it had been built up and honed in the Andlangr.
‘It’s more than just that...’
Heimdall was someone who had only focused on the sword for countless eons. That was what Arthur noticed.
The atmosphere had changed. Although Heimdall was just lightly pressing down upon him, Arthur couldn’t break free. If it were just a matter of strength, Arthur would have escaped long ago. However, he couldn’t escape for a different reason.
‘There isn’t a single gap.’
There was no opening for him to move anywhere, so Arthur was just left believing in his companions.
Flicker!
Horus spewed out flames once again, attempting to attack Heimdall from behind.
“That’s an incredible strength. However, if you don’t have the appropriate experience wielding it...” Heimdall commented. “It just becomes too much power to control.”
There was an eerie squelching sound as Arthur directly witnessed what had happened as he was standing before Heimdall. The red light from within the rainbow had turned into a sword and pierced Horus’ stomach.
“Horus!”
Merlin used magic to cause the ground to collapse, trying to force Heimdall to stumble in order to allow Arthur to move and use the opening to save Horus. However, the strange squelching sound was heard again.
“No! Merlin!!!”
Squelch.
Arthur looked up at the sky with a blank expression. The orange glow had disappeared.
“Ar...thur...” Merlin's shuddering voice came from behind him.
BANG!
The sound of something tearing through the air rang by Arthur’s ear. As he came to his senses, he could see a spear aimed at Heimdall’s head from above him.
WOOSH!
The spear pierced forward as Athena stabbed towards Heimdall, truly intending to kill him. However, even that had stopped.
“I’m sorry.”
It wasn’t because Athena had lost conviction. Instead, the green color of the rainbow had disappeared, too.
“Cough, cough.”
Hot blood fell on Arthur’s head as he could feel Athena collapsing behind him through his senses.
“You...you bastard!!!”
Arthur used all of his might to push Heimdall back, pressing the dual swords slowly down.
Squelch!!
However, Arthur, too, couldn’t move any further, as a rainbow-colored sword had found its way stuck in his chest. It had only been just a moment. Heimdall had shown his sincerity, but everyone had fallen. Only an eerie silence surrounded the battlefield as Heimdall's heavy face looked at the fallen Arthur.
“Whew...”
All he could do was to take a long breath. But then, he looked up at the sky.
“...!”
The dark clouds that had clearly dissipated in the sky were gathering once more.
Crackle. Crackle.
A blue electric current sparked deep within them.
1. Two-handed swords are weighted and sized for using two hands, so even with the incredible strength of the Hunters, it would be awkward to wield one-handedly. ☜
