Academy Gumiho is a Magical Genius Episode 290

Limitless (5)

“Regeneration isn’t unlimited after all.”

The unique regeneration ability of a demon.

Regeneration far surpassing human recovery is terrifying.

Even if a foot is completely severed, it regenerates perfectly.

Although regeneration time varies from individual to individual, high-ranking demons can regenerate in less than a minute.

They create bones, blood vessels, organs, blood, and flesh in that short amount of time.

Such regeneration seems like a higher concept than the drugs I invented, but after cutting their bodies a few times, you realize that’s not the case.

“Regeneration is 10 seconds slower than before.”

“Shut that mouth!”

The time required for regeneration is gradually increasing.

After cutting the thigh about twenty times, only the bones and muscles regenerated, and the blood vessels and flesh that were not fully formed dragged along the floor.

Just keep going like this.

The situation is very good. The odds have definitely shifted in my favor.

Just look at his state right now.

Kwagagagwang!

Baek Seok-ho wildly wields his ten huge and flexible fingers.

Now perfectly using his fingers like tentacles, his attacks are incredibly sharp.

Ten tentacles draw trajectories and aim for me.

The black lightning striking from the sky is so fierce.

Because it accurately targets gaps in my reaction speed, my gaze is inevitably diverted to the sky.

In addition, Baek Seok-ho has now started using his palms as well.

Thwack!

Freely wielding ten tentacles, a dazzling and heavy kick struck my abdomen.

The kick was blocked by a translucent barrier, but.

Thump!

A follow-up strike.

The barrier collapsed from the palm strike using internal energy, creating a brief opening. I barely filled the gap by wielding the Mind Sword at the tentacles trying to squeeze through.

Baek Seok-ho, actively using his monstrous body, abandoned his pride.

Even so, he hasn’t landed a proper blow on me.

My stamina and mana were decreasing due to the prolonged battle, but.

Baek Seok-ho’s demonic energy and regeneration ability were declining at an even faster rate.

Advantageous.

It’s overwhelmingly advantageous for me.

Just as I was thinking I would win if things continued like this.

I suddenly felt that Baek Seok-ho’s offensive had become sluggish.

Now is the perfect opportunity!

I didn’t feel that kind of opportunity.

Rather, a sense of unease flashed through my mind.

─Is he planning something?

‘Of course, he would. Because if we keep fighting like this, I’ll win.’

The Mind Sword requires mental strength along with stamina and mana.

The mental strength required to wield the Mind Sword once far exceeds the mental strength of an ordinary person. Fortunately, I can use the Mind Sword multiple times through the mental strength I honed on the battlefield.

Just in case, I had been limiting the output.

But now I’m wondering if I should release that limit.

No sooner had that thought crossed my mind.

Crack!

A sound of something piercing flesh was heard.

It was completely different from the sound of cutting off fingers that had stretched out like tentacles.

It wasn’t cutting something from the outside, but a sound of something popping out from the inside. Strange, it’s not a sound coming from my body.

Then could it be?

「Demon Eye」

Dyeing my eyes purple, I swung the Mind Sword with all my might.

An absolute strike that ignores distance, space, and time.

Although there may be a decrease in power due to my weak stamina.

The Mind Sword, located at the extreme of nothingness, cannot be confronted.

Because it is will, it cannot be physically blocked.

However, it can be offset.

Because it is a sword made of the heart, it is blocked with the same heart.

Anyone can reach that idea, but no one put it into practice. Because blocking the Mind Sword by creating a weapon with the heart means that the opponent has also reached the point of creating a Mind Sword.

The Mind Sword swung with sincerity can never be blocked.

That’s what I believed and swung it, but.

Clang!

It was blocked.

I even used the skill 「Demon Eye」 to pinpoint the weakness and swung it.

The impact was minimal.

Only then did the number of tentacles come into view in the purple vision.

“…Increased? Don’t tell me, the tails!”

“Haha! It’s already a body stained black. As you said, it’s a body that has become as ugly as an octopus. Then it wouldn’t be strange to become even uglier!”

Ten fingers.

Eight tails.

A total of eighteen body parts stretched out long and flexible like tentacles, aiming for my neck.

“You crazy bastard!”

As I dodged the more elaborate attacks with eight more tentacles, the tentacles now wrapped around in all directions, boasting their destructive power.

That means.

The range of damage is gradually increasing.

Now, I can no longer block the damage with my strength alone.

As the scope of the damage widened uncontrollably, I swallowed hard and raised the pure white sword.

* * *

Thirty minutes had passed since Baek Seung-woo and Baek Seok-ho had left.

The fact that the two had disappeared somewhere was now known to everyone in the building.

However, no one knew exactly ‘where’ the two had disappeared to.

Only the nine executives. Except for Baek Seok-ho himself, only the eight executives accurately estimated their location.

The first tail, Baek Seok-ho.

The circular arena he created to dispose of the guild’s dissidents without anyone knowing. Uniquely, although it was an arena, it had no spectator seats. Since it was only a place for disposal, security was important, so spectators were not needed.

Baek Seok-ho seems to be planning to subdue Baek Seung-woo by force.

Indeed, how great was the humiliation he had suffered recently because of Baek Seung-woo?

What’s so special about a drug.

Reporters came to their offices and even their homes.

The executives wanted Baek Seung-woo to suffer greatly for the humiliation they had experienced over the past week.

They certainly did not want anyone to die or the situation to escalate in the process.

But.

“Um… isn’t that the disposal site?”

“Huh? That direction is right, but why can’t I see the arena? They built a big building there, didn’t they?”

“You can’t see it because it disappeared, not because you can’t see it.”

“…Huh?”

Something big happened.

The arena, which should not have been exposed to the outside, had its lid blown off, and the walls had collapsed, leaving no trace.

Even their boss.

Baek Seok-ho was floating in the sky, wrapped in lightning, and his body was turning black.

It was a dull and murky color compared to Baek Seung-woo’s black body hair, which he hated so much. Baek Seung-woo’s black body hair was full of nobility and gloss, but Baek Seok-ho’s changed body hair was a color reminiscent of sticky tar.

Having changed like that, he soon.

Became a demon wielding lightning and tentacle bundles.

…Why suddenly?

The executives were momentarily stunned.

However, they realized that they should not leave Baek Seok-ho unattended.

Just as they were about to take some action, the eight executives who were looking out of the building from the conference room quietly closed their mouths.

At the majesty unfolding before their eyes.

Ridiculously, they became frightened.

“Heaven and earth are being overturned…”

“Overturned? It looks like destruction to me.”

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s an overturning or destruction. Either way, everything that’s happening here is a natural disaster that we can’t do anything about with our power.”

Heaven and earth are being overturned.

A tremendous brawl as if the sky and earth were collapsing.

All the buildings in the area collapsed, and even nature began to twist.

It started with lightning.

As hundreds and thousands of bundles of black lightning made of demonic energy were generated in the sky, the clear and sunny sky was veiled in a jet-black color.

Even though it was a black sky.

It wasn’t a night sky, so there was no starlight or moonlight.

The sunlight had already disappeared.

Black thunderclouds creating black lightning.

Swallowed by that huge darkness, light disappeared from the sky.

The black lightning that conquered the sky fell to the ground, beginning to show its power even on the ground.

Kugugugung──!!!

Hundreds of bundles of lightning fell to the ground.

Lightning that would be enough to burn a tree and cause a fire if even one fell in the wrong place fell simultaneously, so the lightning rods on the roofs of the buildings could not stop it.

Rather, the lightning rods were damaged from being hit by too much lightning.

The lightning, which destroyed things like lightning rods and trees in turn, soon targeted the ground, buildings, and people.

The ground was dug deep and wide.

The demonic energy-filled lightning destroyed the windows and walls of the building.

The people who were struck by the lightning died on the spot.

There were people who barely survived being struck by the lightning, but unlike ordinary lightning, the demonic energy-filled lightning dyed their bodies black upon impact.

Demonic energy poisoning.

Demonic energy, which has a more terrifying toxicity than poison, gnawed at the body like a curse, whether it was an ordinary person or a C-class player.

Thus, everything under the sky and on the ground died or was destroyed.

However, it wasn’t just one thing that was destroying things on the ground.

10? No, 18 tentacles were tearing up the ground, crushing and penetrating everything they touched. Moreover, their length was so long.

While swinging the tentacles greatly from tens of kilometers away and using acceleration, dozens of buildings were ground like vegetables in a mixer.

Even when the owner of the lightning and tentacles kicked, a gust of wind soared from below.

How heavy was the kick.

The wind pressure from the foot did not end in a tornado.

It even caused turbulence.

The turbulence became one with the black lightning and became a typhoon.

Although smaller in size than what occurs in nature, it was a typhoon artificially created by a single person.

The people who had given up struggling and were watching the two fight with blank expressions began to chuckle.

“It’s really the end of the world.”

It feels like seeing the end of the world.

Before feeling fear, they even felt awe at the fact that an individual had achieved that spectacle.

But what’s even more surprising.

Swish!

The sound of wielding a sword was clearly heard.

At the same time as that sound was heard, the lightning was split and the tentacles were finely chopped into dozens of pieces.

Swish!

The sound is heard again.

It didn’t cut the black lightning and tentacles.

This time, it split the typhoon.

That kind of fight continued.

The black lightning continued to be generated in the sky, and the tentacles regenerated no matter how finely they were cut.

As many as hundreds of tentacles fell to the ground.

The tentacles were created endlessly.

Nevertheless, whenever the sound of cutting something was heard without fail, the tentacles were lying on the floor.

That kind of fight continued.

Now, who will win.

Will they be able to survive?

I don’t know anything.

The Nine Tails of the Fox. Among the top-ranked guilds in the world, even the top executives of the Nine Tails Guild, which is praised as the best guild, have lost their will to resist.

If they’re lucky, they’ll live, and if they’re unlucky, they’ll die.

Even those who possess overwhelming and superior power compared to others.

In the face of the two’s fight, which was like a natural disaster, they were merely believers vaguely calling out to God. All they could do was pray.

“…What should we do after this fight is over?”

One executive said.

He was the guild’s seventh tail.

The characteristic of the unit in charge is supply.

His responsibility was to provide high-quality supplies, regardless of whether it was a battlefield or a business site.

The seventh tail thought with his extraordinary mind.

He was only 31 years old. His greatest strength, having succeeded at a young age, was his quick thinking in judging profit and loss.

Even in this situation where he might die.

He was judging profit and loss.

That wasn’t because the seventh tail was crazy or lacked sensitivity.

It was because that was all he could do in this situation.

The other executives were the same.

Did they have the ability and will to intervene in the battle?

If you asked them, they would all shake their heads.

Even the ninth tail, who had a belligerent personality and powerful strength, lost his will to fight while watching the battle of the two natural disasters.

All they can do now is wait for all of this to end.

And to think and discuss what is the best judgment and choice they can make.

If they can’t survive in the face of natural disasters, well.

It can’t be helped.
