Episode 397:
I moved according to the movents of the man-eating giant Windigo.
You might think that the movents of a large man over 7 ters tall with bulging muscles like a balloon would be slow, but the movent of swinging the glaive towards was as fast and powerful as lightning.
An attack that was enough to tear the surroundings to shreds in its aftermath alone was not sothing humans could endure.
Except .
No matter how powerful it is, the aftereffects cannot be stronger than those of high-speed flight.
Above all, the attack route was very honest.
I said, having gained so understanding as Windigo’s attack cut through the air dozens of tis.
“This must have been enough for now.”
[What?]
“I’ll be disappointed if this is the end.”
[This guy deserves to warm up after a long ti. I didn’t know it was a human.]
The veins in Windigo’s muscles began to bristle. At the sa ti, the explosive montum spread like a howl and dominated the surrounding space.
Faaah!
It was the sa movent as before, but the power and speed were on a different level.
[The most powerful things co from the simplest things.]
The place where the light passed was a deep furrow, as if it had been torn in two from the beginning.
It was so long that I couldn’t see the end, so if I had hit it right, not even dust would have been left behind.
“oh.”
I was quite impressed by this too. Even so, it didn’t hit .
The most powerful things are simple things, so this was in many ways consistent with what I thought.
The more complicated it is, the more difficult it is to write properly.
I wanted to keep in mind Windigo’s thod of saying that naturally.
“Is this the end?”
[Let’s see how long we can endure, human.]
“Try making jokes.”
From the giant’s eyes, a breathtaking force that seed to just survive exploded and rushed towards .
* * *
Windigo was definitely strong.
If I had to divide the scale of its strength, it seed like it would compete with the Thunderbird that fought .
While the Thunderbird uses its high-speed flight to swarm the enemy, the Windigo is the type that tears everything apart while keeping it under its own territory.
It was difficult for each side to enter each other’s territory, so even if a confrontation occurred, it was difficult to establish a confrontation.
Because each of them has a distinct personality and it is difficult to win, the gods do not compete against each other.
Anyway, Shinsu, who was at a similar level to Thunderbird, was an excellent sparring partner.
Actually, I expected this from Akeri.
However, a guy ard with poison and disease could not proactively co out and fulfill his wishes just because he had soone to talk to.
What I wanted to see was the process of manifesting the power of the Divine Beast.
After acquiring the Hell Master’s instant death technique, I realized that his gift ca from authority, and I have always wanted to know the difference between authority and gift.
There was also high-speed flight, but this was not helpful because it was accepted as the original form of power.
In the end, only the power expressed by other divine beasts could serve as proper reference material.
And the power that is implicitly revealed as Windigo runs wild served as an excellent reference material.
“Is it really like this?”
[Hehehe! There are no more humans!]
“If you stop here, you will be disappointed, so try harder.”
I think the difference between power and gift is whether it is natural or artificial.
The divine beast naturally expresses its power as if it were breathing. On the contrary, when humans express their gifts, there is a subtle awkwardness, as if handling tools.
It is the difference between what you have from birth and what you do not.
In addition, the powerful body that no human can match and the ntal power accumulated over ti have widened the gap between power and gifts beyond control.
but.
As far as I could see, that was the end of it.
The divine beasts had the ability to handle power as naturally as breathing, but there was no one who had developed it beyond that.
Since he was born without a rival, he was satisfied with that.
If I had the power, I would have developed it by chewing, tearing, tasting, and enjoying it.
If there is nothing more special, the ‘Killing the Divine Beast’ I developed may be effective.
“Now let’s try it.”
[Why are you talking so loudly as if you were proud of yourself from earlier… Wow!]
Windigo’s huge body, which was flashing eye lights, suddenly stopped and trembled. anwhile, the special bullet I fired made three holes in his arm.
[Kwaaaak!]
Kuung!
Windigo falls down screaming.
It wasn’t a fatal wound, but it was a simple hit.
I’ve run the simulation in my head hundreds of thousands of tis, but this is my first ti actually doing it, and I succeeded much easier than I thought.
“It’s easier than you think.”
The reason for the successful attack just now is that the protective shield that firmly protected Windigo disappeared.
Windigo quickly recovered and stood up. While I was thinking about what to cook next, sothing strange happened.
Yongyong, who was watching all this, was scared and ran to and shouted.
[How did you do this!]
“Later.”
[Answer ! How did you do it?]
He persistently urged as if I didn’t hear him. It must have been seen from the sa Shinsu’s perspective.
“Let’s deal with that guy first.”
[Don’t think about just passing this ti. I will chase you to the ends of the earth to listen!]
I am the one answering, but you have a nasty attitude.
On the contrary, this is a thod that can pose a threat to Shinsoo.
“I think it was made properly.”
‘Killing Divine Beasts’, which I developed, is a trivial skill that cannot even be called a gift.
However, just as these little things can sotis cause fatal wounds, ‘Killing the Divine Beast’ can twist the timing of the Divine Beast and take advantage of that opportunity to inflict fatal wounds.
The principle is to twist the power that appears as naturally as breathing.
Without any research, he digs into what was possible from the beginning and intervenes at the mont of power manifestation, distorting the timing.
In that case, the Divine Beast will have trouble expressing its power, and the gap will beco a loophole that I can attack.
Is there a magic trick that can overco this?
In that case, you just have to face it head on.
However, Windigo was completely unprepared for this and beca a very strong punching bag.
[Kaaaa! because! Why on earth!]
“Why are you blaming others for your lack of skills?”
I approached him and fired mines, then retreated while avoiding the glaives flying overhead.
What’s good about killing a Shinsu is that it distorts the overall flow, causing cracks in the force flow like armor that even most attacks can’t enter.
Even now, if you dig into that gap, you can have a lot of fun with mines.
One small crack destroys the whole. The strategy I set up as a great strategy worked well.
On the other hand, Windigo is completely unprepared for .
Coo!
In the end, Windigo’s body, which had been accumulating damage, collapsed. The eyes of the guy on his knees were still burning.
[It’s not over yet.]
I plan to resist until the end.
Although he was a new beast, his attitude was useful.
Normally, I would have stayed with him until the end, but I decided to stop here.
I’ve experinted with everything I wanted to experint with Windigo, and now is the ti to get the information I want.
“I didn’t co to kill you.”
[What?]
“You were the one who attacked first.”
[…I see.]
“Now that you won’t ignore anymore, do you want to talk?”
[These are the words of a guy who has the upper hand against , but I can’t ignore them. Instead, let’s stick to it one more ti.]
“If you tell what I want to say.”
[I will cooperate.]
The guy who got up while nodding fell down on the floor. Then he asked with a bright look in his eyes.
[okay! What is the conversation you want to have with ? I will answer anything you want.]
“Is there anywhere else we can talk besides here?”
[does not exist! Nature is my ho! Why would you confine yourself to such a small place?]
“Ah…”
He was a very reckless guy.
I clicked my tongue briefly and sat down across from Windigo.
Yongyong looked like he wanted to ask a question, but he remained silent and quietly sat down next to .
[So what do you want to ask ?]
“Do you know much about other divine beasts?”
[I know well. Most of the guys avoided when I wanted to interact with them.]
I’ve heard this before sowhere.
“Then I think you’ll get along well with Akeri.”
[Except for that guy.]
[I get ignored wherever I go. I feel a bit pitiful now.]
[It is difficult in itself to endure that poison. I couldn’t hold on and ran away. How funny that guy’s expression was at that ti.]
Windigo chuckled happily.
Actually, if it weren’t for Mandeuk, conversation wouldn’t have been possible.
When I think about it this way, Berserker, who gave all-killing power, is a worthy person.
“I’m glad you know better. Then what I want to ask is….”
Just like I asked Akeri, I asked about the divine beast that studies turning power into gifts.
[I rember there were so interested compatriots.]
It was a harvest from a completely unexpected point.
“okay? “Can you tell the list?”
[I don’t know the exact na.]
“You can just tell the basic characteristics.”
[Of course. First of all, one was a fast-flying one.]
[It’s a thunderbird.]
Even if Yongyong wasn’t an addendum, I could tell just by hearing it that it was a characteristic of a thunderbird.
[The other is a guy who has infiltrated the human world and calls himself a god.]
This is a self-proclaid god.
I thought this guy was suspicious, but I didn’t think he had anything to do with it.
[And the last one calls himself a hermit wise man. A reclusive idiot, as I call him.]
“A reclusive sage?”
[Oh, I don’t know this either?]
Of course, I didn’t expect anything from Yongyong. If it had a na for being secluded, it would never have appeared in front of humanity. Rather, it would be more surprising for Windigo to know.
[This is the guy who was hiding. I also pursued him persistently and succeeded in having a conversation with him. He was the one who dragged him out of the world.]
[Isn’t that just stalking? I think I was harassing Shinsu, who wanted to stay quiet.]
Yongyong’s muttering was exactly what I felt.
Just looking at it, it’s a picture of a guy who didn’t have any sense and chased after him until the end and was a nuisance.
[The guy’s rebellion was quite harsh. But I persistently persuaded him. If you’re going to do research, get out into the world. Finally, my persuasion worked.]
It’s definitely a nuisance.
Yongyong sighed as he beca 100% sure. At the sa ti, it seed to explain that not all divine beasts are like that when they look at .
[It’s true.]
It’s okay. Anyway, you ruined my image of Shinsoo. There is nothing more trivial. That seems like pure muscle and brain, but what?
“I want to hear about that guy.”
[Are you curious? If I’m going to talk about my relationship with this guy…]
“We’ll talk about that later and start with the research that turns powers into gifts.”
[Ah, through my introduction, he t the Thunderbird and God. And I started doing research on sothing similar to what you said. The main goal was to transform power. The key question was whether humans could also possess power.]
The research was led by a hermit sage, with the self-proclaid god and thunderbird helping at his side. And it is said that the research has actually made considerable progress.
I found everything.
Maybe this guy is the one who created blood feeding.
“So where is he?”
[It disappeared.]
