Episode 229:
The conditions for the manifestation of power are different for each Master.
Sometimes you have to give up a part of your body, eat something, or assume a certain posture.
And just like the conditions for manifestation, the aftereffects after manifesting the power are also different.
Overloading of the body, not being able to use Auras for a certain period of time, not being
able to use powers, etc... Powers were not something that could be used as much as you wanted.
In that respect, the chief was definitely strange.
The chieftain was wrapped in power.
How on earth?
From what I observed while fighting him, he had never released his powers.
Even if he gave up part of his body, it would have been impossible.
Because the power is a force that destroys the balance of the world, it cannot be used continuously.
It was clear that there were certain conditions under which the chieftain could continue to use his powers.
We had to find those conditions.
The good news is that we have two masters.
Bane quickly learned about the Chieftain’s power, as he said that only masters of the same level know each other well.
“It appears that his powers are physical enhancements. Super-strength and resistance to mana with skin that can’t even lift a blade...”
The wondrous appearance the chieftain has shown so far is all made up of power.
In fact, it would be impossible to do such a thing with pure physical ability alone.
It wouldn’t be known if he used Auras, but he did something impossible even if he used Auras, so it made sense if he used powers.
Because it was power that made the impossible possible.
“The most likely possibility is that he maintains his powers in exchange for giving up part of his body.”
It is said that there is a person like that among the masters who fought with him in the past.
A master who gives up a part of his body to use his powers.
However, the difference from the chief is that he lost both eyes and gained powers related to the senses.
The power to see and feel everything made even assassins reluctant.
It is said that even those skilled in assassination could not deceive his senses.
It may seem good if you look at it this way, but his power is said to be a double-edged sword.
It’s definitely good in battle, but other than that, it’s worse than nothing.
He said his mind couldn’t handle it because he felt things he shouldn’t feel.
And the method of destroying him is simple; all you have to do is hold on until he gets tired.
Because their senses are so sensitive, they cannot continue the fight for long.
Every power has strengths and weaknesses.
It won’t be any different if you’re a chieftain.
It is impossible to maintain power 24 hours a day, all year round.
“Some powers like that have a duration, but that one doesn’t seem to have one.”
Bane watches the chieftain’s every move.
It wasn’t easy to spot, but his face was bright rather than dark.
Now that we had guessed what the Chieftain’s power was, it was only a matter of time before we discovered how to destroy it.
“Arjuna!”
Whenever the chieftain came close, Arjuna’s arrow always flew and blocked him.
“Aaaah!”
The chief, who had been stopped dozens of times, let out a loud roar.
If you think you can reach it, it gets blocked, and if you think you can reach it, you get pushed away, so you have reached the limit of your patience.
He gets angry and runs away screaming.
It’s threatening. No, it has to be threatening to be normal.
‘what...?’
There was something strange about the sight of the chief attacking me with his eyes rolled back.
It seemed as if the strange current in his body was lifted for a moment.
Is that possible? It was the chief who was chasing me like crazy because of my provocation.
If it is a power related to emotions, the ignorance at that time cannot be explained.
What on earth is there any correlation?
The chieftain who was running was startled and dodged Arjuna’s arrow aimed at his head.
Why did I avoid it?
“Aaaah!”
The chief rushes in indignantly.
I narrowly avoided his hand and said all the hurtful things I could.
‘It works!’
The air current surrounding the body of the chieftain, who is rushing towards him in great anger, seems to disappear, as if it is linked to the chieftain’s emotions.
“Huh...!”
At that time, Bane rushed forward and swung his sword.
Because it was a sword strike with the power to cut anything, not just Aurors, the chief was scared and threw himself away every time.
“shit!”
Grinding his teeth, the chief tried his best to calm down, but...
“How about a nickname for him? “It seems like a perfect fit, don’t you think?”
“I will tear you to death!”
He fell for my provocation.
He is a person who really enjoys being provoked.
“Why do you look more and more tired? Is that normal? “Because you’re sleeping.”
“...!”
The chief was shouting something, but I couldn’t understand what he was saying.
He gets so excited that he begins to run wild, and I wonder how someone who gets tripped up so easily has been able to hold out for as long as he has.
At this level, with a little bit of exaggeration, it was as easy to provoke as poking a big balloon with a needle.
‘Or maybe I’m just really good at provocation.’
The latter was more likely.
Having lived in modern times, I have no choice but to be good at this.
Compared to places where people ask how their parents are doing just by playing a game, this place was like pure water.
Aside from asking how someone is doing, just saying hello can make people roll their eyes.
“You... you don’t usually think of me like that, right?”
“Oh no.”
“....”
“Not really.”
It was so shocking that even Bane would have looked away in surprise.
“If it’s like that... it’s worth losing your temper.”
Bane raised his sword in pure admiration and blocked the chieftain’s attack.
Kwaaang – A green Auror arrow strikes the Achilles’ heel of the chieftain who is about to hit the ground.
The chief collapses with the sound of a bomb exploding.
Even though he was hit by an arrow made of Auror, the chieftain’s ankle was only punctured and not completely cut off.
Even that was restored in an instant thanks to quick recovery.
As I was running around trying to avoid the fallen chieftain, I was able to take a breather for a very brief moment.
No matter how monstrous the body of a chief is, it will inevitably take time to get up from a fallen state.
That’s what I thought... I didn’t think I was paying attention, but the chief disappeared from sight.
-Raymond Duda!
I bowed my head. The chieftain’s legs, running on all fours like an animal, grazed his hair.
I almost reflexively avoided it and looked back at Riems with startled eyes.
The chieftain was so fast that Bane, the sword master who had raised his senses to the limit with his auror, momentarily lost track of his movements.
Even if Arjuna had time to create arrows or strike, Bane and I were unable to react.
Rims clearly saw such an attack.
Is it different because it’s a dragon? I don’t know exactly, but strangely enough, I agree.
Since it is called the strongest creature on earth, it is bound to be superior in all aspects.
‘If you do this well...’
Riems tells me. Where is the attack coming from?
Thanks to Riems’ warning, I was able to avoid and block attacks that would have normally come from places I could not see or feel.
When I thought about it, I could have used this method a long time ago.
Even though my senses are sensitive, I can’t beat the dragon’s senses.
-Head and neck! It comes from your back!
He moved and his eyes lit up at the words of Riems, who shouted with strange excitement.
If I do well, I think I will be able to deal with, if not defeat, the Chieftain without Bane’s help.
