Chapter 247

Chapter 247. (4)

“....what happened?”

First of all, let me tell you for my pride.

It's not that I'm so embarrassed because I don't have a solution.

In fact, as soon as I saw it, I immediately thought of how to destroy it.

No, I must have known from the beginning.

because.

“Why is it here?”

Because it's a technique I already knew.

Yeah, that's not magic, as Dia guessed.

Perhaps Dia misunderstands that it is the mysterious power of the saintess, but I can say that it is not.

“Why... is that shield reproducing the effect of that martial art?”

What I am perplexed about is that the skill cast by that shield is completely similar to any martial art I know.

It's literally a parody itself.

As soon as I saw it, I had to barely hold back from wanting to hug it with unexpected pleasure.

Weapons that do not exist in this world.

Mancheon station haenghwan (萬天易行環).

....For some reason, that shield reproduced the same principle of martial arts.

“...How come you know that! Why!!”

This time, I couldn't help but be a little surprised.

It was like seeing Santa Claus pulling a sleigh out of the desert.

why is this here

The place where I was born in my 47th life was Jungwon, where all kinds of Murim people were active.

Especially unlike the rest of the world, it was a very chaotic era.

A world that has gone mad after repeated wars in which all factions go to war and kill each other to the point of brutality.

Regardless of whether it was a Murim or an ordinary person in the fierce war between each faction, it was an unknown traveler who ended the war where the blood and wind never stopped.

His real name is Cheong Woncheon (靑圓天).

Originally, he was just a disciple of an unknown dojo.

After witnessing the devastation of a village completely devastated by being caught up in a war between clans, he questioned Murim, who was engulfed in baseless madness, and sought a way to end the war by leaving home.

I also met him while fighting to stop the war because I was fed up with the world where people die and kill every day.

At first, they were suspicious of each other and were hostile to each other, but soon the misunderstanding was resolved and they started to talk openly.

Then one day, while drunk, he said this.

“What do you think the ultimate skill is?”

He was usually quiet, as if he was polite, but in fact he had a rather ostentatious nature.

They became quite special, and perhaps because he was pleasantly drunk that day, he began to brag about his martial arts.

“I think the ultimate skill is the ultimate defense and counterattack. That's what it is!”

He said it firmly, as if he were certain, but he started to brag a little excitedly.

“It may be a bit arrogant, but I think this is the ultimate skill.”

Saying that, he showed me a skill I don't usually show.

That is the thousand-year-old haenghwan (萬天易行環).

It circulates and returns the natural order and qi of all things in the truth of the original.

The ultimate defense technique that cycles all attacks and fires them back.

Not only does he simply counterattack all attacks, but after reaching a higher level, he achieves an absurd feat of overturning even the compatibility of the five elements with this martial art.

In the end, as he promised, he will conquer the entire Moorim in the future with just that skill.

Recalling the memory of that time, I had a question.

“...but why is it... here?”

I glared at the shield.

I tried listening to it once.

Didn't I hear that the effect is activated just by holding it?

There is no need to re-attack.

I quietly matched the qi of my body with the qi running through the shield.

Undoubtedly.

“Damn it... it’s real.”

Indeed, this shield perfectly mimics the energy veins that flow when the Manchuria Reverse Ring is activated.

Even if you have no connection to martial arts at all, if you awaken only the minimum aura, this shield will be activated as soon as you have it.

Fortunately, it only reflects attacks.

The point is that he did not even reach the tip of his toes to the level of the creator of this.

It's like a swarm of crucian carp, desperate for food.

In this case, what you want is not food, but wisdom?

If I pretended to give up here saying I don't know, I think I'd make a really great face.

Resisting the desire to annoy them, I said that I had devised a countermeasure first.

Then everyone's faces light up.

“Am I really? Arell?! Have you already prepared a countermeasure?”

“Can you hear me joking?”

“Could that be? However, I never thought they would come up with a countermeasure so quickly... I am just amazed.”

The other nobles also nodded in agreement.

Especially the guys who had to struggle because of this were even more amazed.

“But what kind of magic or equipment should I use to destroy it?”

“Oh, there is no need to prepare for that.”

If it was a countermeasure that required preparation for something, it would have caused quite a headache.

It would be embarrassing to prepare something new on a battlefield like this.

But in this case, even that is not necessary.

“It just takes a few skilled knights to solve it.”

“???? yes?”

Of course, you won't be able to understand with just words.

Without exception, I said that I would demonstrate it with a smile at the nobles who were making stupid faces.

I decided to take the shield and test it again.

However, this time it is Asha who demonstrates it.

Suddenly called for a demonstration, she was puzzled as if she didn't know why.

“Um... Sir Arell? What am I supposed to do? I didn't hear anything.”

“I just need to break that shield. How easy is it?”

“...You mean that shield? But isn’t that the thing of the Seongguk that bounces off anything?”

Could it be that the rumor spread enough to reach Asha?

Certainly, if we don't show countermeasures here, this will affect the morale of the entire army.

“Even if you say it's a copy, what should I do?”

“don't worry. I will teach you that from now on.”

I gestured to Asha, who was perplexed.

As Asha brought her face closer, I whispered softly into her ear.

“So, if you do it like this, like this...

”...Yes.”

She pays close attention to what I say and listens carefully.

“....yes? Is that all there is to it?”

“how is it? Isn't it simple?”

“Should I say it’s simple... It’s obvious. Can we really just do that?”

“Yeah, isn’t it simple?”

Since I was so sure, Asha no longer doubted, believed it, and tried to implement the plan I had taught her.

Taking her usual spear, she stood in front of the knight holding the shield. “Arel-nim, I'm worried that I'll hurt her, but

I'd better

experiment a little more...

“are you okay. Come on Asha. Show them.”

“All right.”

Asha answered, then stood up and aimed the spear.

Then, without any hesitation, he threw the spear.

“Haap!”

A neat stabbing without any selfishness.

it touches the shield

This time, without fail, circular waves rippled through the shield, trying to reverse the shock and aura.

The nobles hadn't noticed it yet, but the knights who had reached a certain level had their eyes tremble for a moment.

“this?!”

As if to show off on purpose, Asha showed off a simple stab, so you could tell that it was bouncing away.

Ah... I'm sorry that I failed.

If I really fail, who will fail?

However, knowing the result, I just watch leisurely.

If you watch more, they will know.
