Chapter 113: Poor Condition
Ji-woo wasn’t interested in the magic spell from the Skill Page. So the information was useless to him. However, it never hurts to know. The more things he knew, the easier it would be from here on out.
He was a person who had the principle that intelligence was better than absolute power. Even those that sound useless are just waiting for the right ti and place to be used.
“By the way, you two don’t want it?”
“Hyung, it’s not like that. But, it’s better if this is given to the appraiser first to know the full details.” Dong-hyun explained with a wry smile.
“Ji-woo~si, where did you get this stuff from it? Don’t tell it got picked up from the street just like the Spatial Bag?”
Ji-woo chuckled at the different enthusiasm. One wanted the item but needed to know the details first, and the other just wanted to know about where it ca from.
“It’s from the dungeon at Portal Gate tier-2. Then, where did you take it for the appraiser to examine?”
“I can ask an appraiser who has close ties to the Demigod guild.”
“When did you enter the tier-2 Portal Gate, Ji-woo~si? Do you have a team outside the guild?”
Hearing the question, Dong-hyun beca interested and put his ear close to hear Ji-woo’s answer. He also wanted to know what Ji-woo was doing. Almost never participated in Demigod guild activities anymore.
Ji-woo found it amusing looking at Yu-jin’s persistence to investigate his activities. He could guess that Yu-jin was more interested in the secret of his power.
Dong-hyun probably didn’t mind or care too much about Ji-woo never using Mana. However, Yu-jin was different. She could feel that sothing was amiss with Ji-woo, who never used Mana, and it felt like there was no Mana in his body.
Unfortunately, Ji-woo had no intention of satisfying Yu-jin’s curiosity. He imdiately switched the topic to practice.
“How about sparring with ? Two on one, not a bad deal. No? I wonder how perfect you guys are at using magic spells that no need to get chanting. Was there no progress, or was it just a waste of ti from the beginning?”
Dong-hyun was absolutely excited to hear that. He was a person who had little self-confidence. So if he could show progress in training, then it would increase his confidence. Unusually if Ji-woo gave a little complint, it would an a lot to him.
Of course, Yu-jin wasn’t easily distracted. But, she also knew not to force her curiosity. It could get done slowly.
Ji-woo smiled, seeing the two of them take a position to start the debate. Actually, he just wanted to test his recovering self. In the anti, he was far below his usual strength. Coupled with the weight on all four parts of his body, it made him lose more than half the strength he had before fusing the Chrono Sphere and Darkness Sphere with the Nullifier.
That was one of the downsides of recovering his True Strength, apart from taking a little ti to return to his peak effectively.
“Go all out, show what you got. Think of it as a real battle when you face off against the Dungeon Owner. No need to hold back. Here, I’ll make you think hard about how to survive.”
Ji-woo was really serious in training this ti. He took a few steps back and picked up a rather long tree branch from the ground. He then cleaned the tree branches from short and small twigs and leaves.
Yu-jin didn’t find it strange to see Ji-woo picking up a tree branch as a weapon. He thought Ji-woo wanted to get a little bit serious with the spar.
Dong-hyun, however, got taken aback by the action. To defeat Ji-woo when he was not using anything was an impossible task, now a tree branch as a weapon? What a cheater!
Needless to say. Dong-hyun certainly didn’t dare voice his displeasure and disapproval about the tree branch.
“Why are you just standing there? Afraid of a tree branch? Or do your legs feel washed out and weak abruptly?”
Yu-jin gritted her teeth, and Dong-hyun clenched his fists. The two of them then imdiately showed their progress with magic that didn’t need to get chanted.
Dong-hyun put one hand forward and burst flas toward the ground where Ji-woo was standing.
On the other hand, Yu-jin clapped her hands together, and a fireball the size of a basketball shot swiftly at Ji-woo.
Ji-woo beca speechless at the poor coordination between the two hunters. Just because he said he wanted to test their progress in magic without the need to cast an incantation, the two of them imdiately started using it. It was the sa as pulling a trump card straight off the bat and telling the opponent to counter it.
He used his left hand to dissipate the fireball from Yu-jin and then jumped to avoid the flas from Dong-hyun.
Both Dong-hyun and Yu-jin were surprised by how quickly Ji-woo perford the sequence. And now, all of a sudden. Ji-woo was right in front of Dong-hyun while positioning his left foot for a kick.
Dong-hyun got knocked back at once without having ti to block with his hands.
Seeing what was happening, Yu-jin swiftly prepared to cast another magic spell. However, Ji-woo quickly moved to where she was and pressed the tree branch into her right shoulder. She ended up getting thrown off just like Dong-hyun.
“You idiot. I did say I wanted to see the ability. But, that doesn’t an it should get used carelessly without preparation. Should I teach you how to fight? Or, your brains aren’t working?”
Ji-woo’s insults did wake Dong-hyun and Yu-jin from their carelessness. Magic without chanting should be a hidden ability to get used in an ergency. They should have fought as usual first without having to use magic spells to know the opponent’s movents. When the opportunity arose, then used the magic, whether chanted or not accorded to the conditions.
In battle, observing and asuring the opponent’s abilities was a must. If not taken seriously, then death would embrace their shoulders.
Dong-hyun slapped his face. ‘Right! I have to learn to fight in situations where I have to deal with the Dungeon Owner.’
Yu-jin was the first to jump at Ji-woo. This ti, she didn’t use any magic spells and tried to fight with her bare hands.
Dong-hyun followed closely behind. He tried to match his attack with Yu-jin. He couldn’t afford to stack their attacks carelessly.
Ji-woo dodged easily but not very smoothly. The effects of the weights were starting to get felt now. With his not yet fully fit state, regardless of his movents were fast. It was also because Dong-hyun and Yu-jin increased their physical strength with Mana when they did not use it for magic.
Yu-jin and Dong-hyun attack aggressively and sotis cast magic spells. They learned to only use magic without chanting in favorable situations. Not the other way around.
anwhile, Ji-woo kept dodging, and he started to sweat all over his body, including his forehead. Instead, every ti he dodged Dong-hyun and Yu-jin’s attacks, he would smack the tree branch in his right hand rcilessly. It caused many red marks, almost all over the two hunters’ bodies.
Ji-woo really didn’t discriminate in that sparring. Man or woman, still get hit from the swing of the tree branch.
Suddenly, Dong-hyun, who fell, got up quickly and attacked Ji-woo’s left leg.
Ji-woo, who reflexively evaded, realized he was making a mistake. Yu-jin jumped in the direction with a kick. He dodged in midair, but it turned out to be their plan to corner him.
Ji-woo, who had not yet landed on the ground, couldn’t help but withstand the magic attacks of the two hunters, which in theory should be able to defeat him. However, because they were magics created by Mana, the double attack got wasted.
He then swiftly advanced towards Dong-hyun and Yu-jin after landing on the ground. He attacked with a tree branch and barged at the two of them without a break.
Yu-jin was lucky because even though she got hit with a stick, she held back and blocked it with her hand, so the pain wasn’t adequate.
As for Dong-hyun, he took a full blow, and the red marks on his face almost made him unrecognizable.
They both ended up falling to the ground in pain and unable to get up again. Dong-hyun didn’t hold back from the pain he was in and rolled left and right while rubbing all the red marks on his body. On the other hand, Yu-jin tried to endure the pain by holding her hand tightly.
At the sa ti, Ji-woo got covered in sweat, and his breath was slightly out of rhythm. The sores on his body from before beca even more painful.
In the end, he caught his breath and then took a deep breath while standing in place. Surprisingly, he also needed a little rest, just like Dong-hyun and Yu-jin, whereas he was the one who taught them a lesson throughout the sparring.
