Episode 112.
The Death Knight Beache was an elite warrior who was blessed by Setnak and specialized in handling the mana of death. The way she used her whole body as a weapon by maximizing the harmony between mana and her body was truly similar to Jung Si-woo.
[I can’t control magic.]
The Death Knight walked with the strange mana. Rather than synchronizing with the body’s movement, she quickly released the Mana and moves her body to it, eventually appearing in front of Jung Si-woo’s eyes as if she teleported. She proved that she was one step ahead of Jung Si-woo in terms of mana control.
[Magic is just one of the ways to be strong, but with just mana and your body alone, every being can hold the possibility to become supreme.]
“Is it possible to release the mana first and adjust your body movement to it?”
It was also possible for Jung Si-woo to move his body and to adjust his mana to that. That was the first step in applying mana, Grant skill, and Heavy Strike skill together. If the order were reversed, it would be possible to recreate the miraculous movement shown by the Death Knight. Jung Si-woo had never imagined this. It was clear that Jung Si-woo was in the process of combining his mana and body, the same as he saw in his dream of the dragon.
However, when the Death Knight appeared behind Jung Si-woo and swung her sword to cut through Jung Si-woo’s waist, he lowered himself to avoid it.
“But eventually, if you know how to read the flow of mana and its direction, you can’t fail to notice where it’s heading!”
[You have a sharp eye…but can it harmonize with your movements?]
The moment he checked the movement of his feet, a sword flew into him. If he avoided it, a powerful kick came from the opposite direction. It was like fighting an opponent with teleportation. Clearly, if he had used this ability without restraining himself, he couldn’t have protected the black coffin properly. Jung Si-woo made the best choice to see his opponent’s record.
[Ha!]
“Hmph!”
He lifted the sledgehammer and struck the Death Knight’s sword. No matter how much Jung Si-woo’s mana was used, the paw’s rank was still unquestionably low. A single attack broke its handle. Jung Si-woo struck down at the very bad part because his response was slow.
“Oppa!”
“I’m all right.”
He stopped Soo Ah-rin. She was about to run out in surprise and try to sneak in an extra hit on the Death Knight by swinging the short hammer. Instead of using a sword, the Death Knight used her black breath to blow on his skin, but it failed to curse him.
[The Death Knight’s breath is nearly avoided by your Curse Resistance. It completely resolves the curse that hasn’t been stopped by your divine power.]
[Curse Resistance skill has become Lv7.]
[Curse Resistance…you’re an excellently prepared warrior. But what do we do now?]
“What do you mean by ‘what do we do now?”
The giant’s roar head was half smashed and rolling on the floor, and the shortened paw couldn’t be swung around like normal. Then, it would be a good idea to take out the ghost sword that was used earlier and deal with her. She wasn’t far behind in rank, and she had a body. So the sword could effectively damage the undead since she had a body but was half a soul. However, Jung Si-woo didn’t do so. He sent mana to the back and kicked the Death Knight in a decisive manner as she ran forward to stab him.
“You said you could be a supreme man with only mana and a body.”
[Hmph!?]
Jung Si-woo’s kick was truly exquisite, and he hit Death Knight’s wrist before she could use her sword. The mana was distinctly concentrated like a dagger and burst from the tip of his toes. He proved that he could read mana and catch up to her.
“I agree with you.”
[So you’re planning to attack me without using any weapons?]
Despite the blow, the Death Knight voice sounded satisfied. She liked Jung Si-woo from the moment he gave up using his weapons even though it would’ve been more advantageous for him, but she didn’t expect him to be this stupid!
[That doesn’t mean I’m going easy on you!]
“Who’s going easy on whom?
Jung Si-woo smiled and leaned back again. The moment the Death Knight passed by his nose, he grabbed her with both hands and slammed her into his knees like lightning.
[Hmpph!]
Jung Si-woo’s body was a weapon in itself. Although it was impossible to synchronize his body with the moving mana, Grant, and Heavy Strike, he was already superior to the world’s leading players. Furthermore, he thought he would capture the characteristics of mana that changed when he expresses his combat Charge skills. As a result, his knee contained destructive power like a volcanic eruption. The Death Knight had to struggle not to let go of her sword!
“Keep your guard down, and you’ll die!”
[Ha!]
The Death Knight’s sword had a crack, but it couldn’t be taken away and disarmed. He thought it was simply in her hands, but he couldn’t easily take it from her because the mana that flowed through the Death Knight’s entire body was constantly flowing through the sword. It was by no means a basic skill like a Grant skill. It was the same situation when Jung Si-woo used the Phantom Bike as his body and activated Cruel Charge. Wasn’t it amazing that they kept their condition even when they are attacked? She let go of the sword and stepped down.
“I still have a lot to learn from you.”
[I’m sorry. Because the end of this class…is your death!]
The battle between perv Jung Si-woo, who was happy to see his opponent exert all her power, and Beache, who had no choice but to kill him to regain her crown. Their fist and sword collided head-on, and his foot and her armor competed for durability. With the armor breaking bit by bit, Death Knight’s mana, which looked infinite, began to shrink little by little. It was because she was separated from the coffin and was unable to receive its mana. Nevertheless, the Death Knight was still overwhelmingly fast and strong.
[Die!]
“How the hell do you do it? I want to take lessons from you three times a week!”
[What…?]
But what was even more surprising was Jung Si-woo’s ability to slowly start catching up with her movements.
“Good, I’m starting to see a plan.”
[A plan!? Stop acting funny…!]
The Death Knight gritted her teeth after confirming Jung Si-woo’s movements, which blocked the attack of the sword by throwing a fist at a subtly faster pace than her.
[You’re just using your mana-enhanced body and astonishing reaction rate to force yourself to move!]
“I can’t copy your advanced Mana technique right now. So I have to use my body to do it. What’s more, this is what I was trying to master in the first place.”
To divide the types, the Death Knight’s mana control was in the process of combining active skills with the body. The word ‘Active’ was appropriate because it moves the mana to follow the body. On the other hand, Jung Si-woo’s method was more of combining passive skills with physical skills. He had been responding quickly to the pattern of his opponent’s movements, bringing his five senses to the maximum and boosting his sense of intuition.
[What the hell are you!? I can’t believe you’re catching up on my movements just by using such small mana…Ahh!]
“Your strength keeps decreasing, but you didn’t know.”
It was exquisite timing when her body lost most of her strength just before she recovered the sword. Jung Si-woo managed to dig into the Death Knight’s arm. His left fist, which was pulled back to the fullest extent, was like a bullet waiting for the moment of firing.
“Ha!”
[Kahak!]
His fist hit the Death Knight’s abdomen. Her armor was completely crushed by the terrible shock, and the cold flesh trapped beyond it was also torn apart, shedding rotten blood. The magic blade made of mana popped out and tore his fist, but it was nothing new.
[Heavy Strike skill became Lv41]
[The Sense of Touch skill has become Lv2.]
“Haaa, haaa…”
[How…?]
The Death Knight was shocked. However, Jung Si-woo charged at her again after getting his fist treated by Soo Ah-rin. He felt the passive skills spread throughout his body resonate fiercely. The intuition skill, which was strongly stimulated in combat, was now in sync.
“Show me what’s left.”
[You monster.]
He didn’t know who was calling who a monster. It sounded like a living human being was talking and not a Death Knight. Jung Si-woo smirked. Even the enemy’s movements, which couldn’t be grasped by sight and smell alone, could be read by harmonizing the five senses.
‘And the intuition that comes from the five senses works more actively to read and respond. When this transcendent sense that cannot be explained becomes one with the five senses, I can finally escape from the normal human body.’
He read the trajectory of the flying sword and naturally returned to its side. A fist shot off the side of the Death Knight’s sword, causing the Death Knight to miss. But that was exactly the moment of the Death Knight’s long-awaited counterattack.
[My sword…isn’t is not affected by the material!]
The sword with mana soared from the Death Knight’s hands. It looked like it could be thrown out as it moved to strike Jung Si-woo. He wouldn’t be able to hold out even for a minute because he didn’t have armor, so he would be dead and unable to fight! But it missed him.
[Huh…?]
The Death Knight wasn’t aware of what happened the next moment. The black mana, which she thought would pierce Jung Si-woo’s neck and chest, disappeared in the air. And Jung Si-woo, his fists clenched, had also vanished.
“Sorry, I already knew what was going to happen.”
She looked up where the voice was coming from. Jung Si-woo was in the air just a little higher than the Death Knight’s head, aiming down. The Death Knight’s pupils shook after confirming the amount of mana at the tip of his fingers.
[Mana bullet…!?]
It wasn’t just a mana bullet; it was a critical bullet. He didn’t use it throughout the battle so that he wouldn’t raise the Death Knight’s guard! And the intention worked well in harmony with the unexpected reaction of the Death Knight.
[Ahhhhhhh!]
The Death Knight tried to avoid the attack with her unique manner of mana control. Still, ten critical bullets were already prepared, piercing her whole body faster than she could move.
[Intuition, vision, smell, hearing, touch, taste skills resonated and evolved into a single skill.]
The moment that Jung Si-woo waited so long for had finally come.
