Episode 197

Meanwhile, Imugi and Gyeol Myo were out of the building.

Since the two had odd personalities, they started fighting each other.

“Ha. This is it. You will die, so I apologize in advance. If I kick wrong it seems like your teeth are going to come out.”

Imugi provoked him a little.

“If you are so confident, come for me. Rather than the teeth coming out, your legs give out, you will get shorter than me.”

Gyeol Ho snorted as he said,

“Ha. Look at this empty can making noise. Well, among all the people, you must be one of those who bluff with those knuckle weapons… Are you the same too?”

Again Imugi provoked him,

“Oh my. Are you so afraid of it? Then I will put them aside for a while. It is like using a butcher knife to kill a hen.”

Gyeol Hyo responded more to him. He threw the knuckle weapon he had been holding.

Clack

“Huh.”

There was the sound of the teeth grinding.

Wheik

The wind blew. The atmosphere already began to build up with their fight of words.

By the time the two eyes looked at each other, the faces darkened.

Pat. Pat.

The fight began. Without saying anything, they rushed at each other at the same time and collided.

Tung!

There was reckless kicking and blocking with hands.

Since Gyeol Hyo had put his weapon aside, he only used the kicking technique. And naturally the fight turned to close combat.

Bababak!

As for speed, Imugi was a little faster. But the kicks were heavy. Looking at his skills, he realized that the opponent was too much.

Tak

There were no openings in the defense.

Imugi who clashed a couple times took a step back

“Hah!”

He aimed for Gyeol Hyo with a strong roundabout kick and internal energy.

Bung!

Gyeol Hyo did not move. He just defended it with his hands. Seeing that, Imugi smiled.

Now, he has poured in his internal energy to fight so blocking it would mean he has to use internal energy of the same level too.

Tuk.

“…!?”

But—

The round kick that extended like a thunderbolt was easily blocked. As the hit was stopped at close range without stepping back, Imugi was shocked.

“Caught you, you rat!”

Gyeol Hyo did not seem shaken by anything. He was clearly in a defensive stance as he grabbed the leg of Imugi with his left hand.

Puak!

He clenched the other hand, and it felt like the Wind Fist attack came from close range.

“Eh!”

Imugi hurriedly twisted his body to avoid being hit and dodged it as the entire body had goosebumps rise on it.

What?

The wind which had passed just from the tip of the nose felt like a stunning technique. Surprisingly, the air waves soared into the air.

Puak!

It struck the back of Imugi as if the wind was being controlled.

Puang!

“Kuk!”

Imugi, who was hit on the back, hit the ground very hard and bounced back up. As if anticipating him getting up, Gyeol Hyo reached out his left hand and grabbed the head.

Tak!

It was all in a short moment. Imugi, who came to his senses, hurriedly grabbed the hand and turned the wrist to the other direction.

Bronze hammer hand—

The experience of being beaten down by Elder Baekhon in the past saved him.

This technique which was being used by the body, was used in a moment of desperation.

“Kuak!”

Wheik!

Taken by surprise, Gyeol Hyo’s body immediately spun back and moved.

Tak

However, Gyeol Hyo took a stance right away and landed without a huge attack landing on him.

“Wow. Look at this brat. What is on your body?”

Imugi jumped as he swiped under the nose. There was blood profusely on the hand. Both nostrils had blood dripping out from them. It was the kind where his pride took a hit.

Since the opponent was a warrior in the top 100, the degree of his attack was within the specified range.

But before that, it was even more absurd that the kick he did was being simply defended.

“Ha. I have eyes too. Seriously.”

Chak

Gyeol Hyo laughed and tore down the robe.

Tear

The armor on the entire body was revealed. The chest and arms were all covered in silver and resembled the scales of a dragon. At first glance, it was a set of armor that provided more defense power than any defense technique.

In particular the armor on both hands seemed very well crafted.

“Wow. Fuck. You were hiding that under your clothes? You are a fucking joke. How dare you act like that with that on you?”

“Oh my. Did you come to train or what? You were the one who was looking for a fight and now you want it to be fair~?”

Imugi tried to provoke him, but Gyoel Hyo did not seem to be biting. fFar from anger over the provoking, he smiled.

Srrng

In the end, Imugi took out his weapon. Even though Seol-hwi had warned him to not be careless he did not listen, and he messed around too much.

“I am sorry for looking down on you. From now on, I will act seriously.”

“Well. No need to say that. Because I am still looking down on you.”

Gyeol Hyo was not losing in this battle of words.

Clap

He finally took out the weapon on his back.

It is a fight going against someone using such an odd weapon for the first time.

Imugi looked at the weapon of the opponent, the wheel-like thing.

The encircled spiked knuckle weapon, a weapon which seemed round.

It was the size of a wagon wheel, and there was something in the center, a line to support the holding process. It looked quite large and heavy, and it held spikes around and looked like a shield.

If he wielded something like that with hands, it could be used for both offense and defense.

However, what was really scary was the moment it flew—the sharp thorns coming out the wheel.

It rotated around as it was moved, and it displayed the power to cut down anything. In other words, the weapon was like a rotating blade, and what if internal qi was used as well?

It would be a blow that could not be defended against. The only way to survive would be to evade it. But somehow, it did not seem like that would work either.

How does he pull it back? Should I hold it with my hands?

The advantage of someone wielding such a weapon was that it could not be defended against, but the downside is that once they threw it out, their hands were weaponless.

However, the opponent here was strong. Which meant he could overcome the handicap in a second and even put himself in an advantageous situation.

The defense will be solid.

He would not have too much trouble defending even without the weapon. And in addition, despite attacking, the attack of Imugi did not do much damage to him.

And he could change the direction of the Wind Fist.

I could see his power at the fist. Maybe this too… could be handled the same way.

The wheel which left the hand could change directions and move in the needed direction.

Swish

Swish

The eyes of both men were concentrating, and at some point, not caring about anything, they took a stance to run.

And—

Pat!

Pat!

And like before, they rushed to each other.

I need to get the timing right…

The thoughts of attacking were filled in Imugi’s head. If the direction of the weapon can be changed, then it would be a dangerous moment for him.

At the moment he decided to attack, he decided to use the Demonic Spirit Blade technique to win it at once.

Wheik!

…Uh?

But the opponent did not move in the way Imugi thought he would. He was holding the weapon to attack. It was supposed to be used as a weapon to win in a close combat fight.

Swish

Right, this will not be easy.

Imugi switched to a defensive stance right then, but the guy was so persistent with his attacks.

Phat! Wheik!

Holding out the outstretched wheel in the hand which came up, he ran ahead again.

Tak!

When it got close, in the end, the heart began to rush, Imugi leaped back to widen the distance.

“Caught you!”

At that moment, with the space wide enough to swing the wheel, Gyeol Hyo swung it.

Swish!

The speed was amazing.

In the blink of an eye, the distance felt reduced, and it was aimed for Imugi’s throat. It was a situation that cannot be avoided or prevented because he was jumping back.

“Huk.”

At that, Imugi used internal energy to surround his body and used the Image Projection technique to change into the body of a three-year-old.

Wheik!

When the body got smaller, he avoided the weapon. It was not something one would normally think of.

“What is that?”

Swish!

As soon as the annoying weapon was out of the equation, Imugi chose to counter.

The blade with the energy on it was now glowing green.

“This…?!”

Thanks to that, Gyeol Hyo’s face hardened. An unusual green energy was rising. And he could feel this to be dangerous and evil.

Kukuku!

“…?!”

However, Imugi who was supposed to attack was shocked.

Gyeol Hyo, who should be struggling to stop the attack, made a gesture… and this one suddenly made the rocks on the ground move.

Was it some skill or a supernatural ability? But he would not understand what just happened.

“What, fucking dog like situation…”

Swish!

While he fell into panic, a sharp wave of movement came along with the flying wheel. The expected attack was coming at the right time.

“Tch.”

Wheik!

Imugi turned back and swung the weapon.

It must have been that the opponent manipulated the weapon to come back at this moment.

Imugi hurriedly turned back and retracted the body changing technique to get his old body back and raised the blade.

Kakakakang!

But it was too late. The wheel was pressing down the blade as sparks flew. It continued to spin, not showing signs of stopping despite using the blade energy, and it tore off the shoulder of Imugi.

“Kuak!”

Thud!

Imugi grabbed the shoulder as he fell to the ground. It was fortunate that the opponent did not attack again. If he did, he would have lost.

“This… you are a Demonic Sect guy? Shocking.”

Tuk

Gyeol Hyo smiled as he grabbed the weapon back.

Despite being called vicious for his actions, he was a warrior who was rational, and there was a reason for it. To catch the people of the Demonic Sect of the Forces of Evil and to hand them down to the Forces of Justice sects.

Of course there was money for doing it.

“Well, I need to keep you alive then.”

“Fuck. Do you have some grudge against the Demonic Sect?”

Kuak.

Imugi stopped the bleeding of the shoulder by touching the blood points.

“Grudge? It is money. Isn’t this a world where money can buy many things?”

Gyeol Hyo smiled.

Although he was a wandering warrior who moves for money, he had sincerity in taking down the bad people, and that is why he was able to freely walk in the place without people bothering him.

“Is that so? That is a good purpose. I am in the process of saving money too…”

Imugi said.

This was to buy time, to let his body recover by just a little.

“You know that I will get a lot more if I catch you, right?”

Wheik!

Gyeol Hyo vigorously twisted the wheel. He smiled and looked at Imugi.

“Enough nonsense. Do you want more time to recover your body?”

“…”

Imugi’s face hardened.

Now that he saw it, he was clear. This guy was not just someone who spoke too much.

“R-right…”

It seemed that he had confidence in his own skills.

As for Imugi, he grabbed the blade and prepared for the special technique.

“Get a taste of what it is like to get hit by a divine weapon!”

Shhh. Paaat!

If death was going to come, there was no need to hide anymore, so he pulled out the demonic arts which he had not touched for a long time.
