Genius Wizard Hides His Sword Skills [EN]: Chapter 76

Authority (2)

76. Authority (2)

With his current movements, he was sure to be hit by Hairey’s attack.

‘I have no choice!’

He threw himself down as he was falling. He had to avoid the attack first, so he chose to fall instead.

As his body tilted, his vision blurred with the sight of the riverbank stones.

Thud!

He barely managed to grab a piece of stone with his left hand.

Whoosh!

A wave of energy rushed over his head.

‘Hoo…….’

It was a close call that sent a chill down his spine.

[What are you going to do now?]

He couldn’t help but worry about his next move.

‘First, I have to keep swinging the sword.’

Even as he fell, he didn’t let go of Fragarach in his right hand. He had to maintain the reaction speed granted by the Authority.

[What are you talking about! Your body can’t handle it right now!]

‘Then are you telling me to just die here?’

If the Authority disappeared, he wouldn’t be able to face Hairey anyway. He would lose his head without even knowing what hit him.

[Haa.]

There was no choice. To maintain the Authority, he had to keep swinging the sword.

After rolling once on the ground as he fell,

Whooong!

He swung his sword at the sky again.

‘Keuh!’

The pain of his heart constricting rushed in.

[Are you okay! Stop it!]

But he couldn’t stop now.

“Kuaaaa!”

Hairey, flying towards him, was in sight.

Whooong!

He swung his sword once more. Was it because of the extreme pain? Or was it because he couldn’t handle his own accelerated speed?

He tried to get up, but that was all he could do.

‘……!’

He knew that even if he moved, he would eventually fall. He couldn’t bring himself to take another step.

If he fell again, he wouldn’t be able to escape from Hairey.

[If it doesn’t work, don’t move and just swing your sword. Concentrate.]

As if reading his mind, Oberon suggested a way to maintain the reaction speed without losing the Authority.

‘That would be better. I don’t know how long I can last, but…’

He swung his sword meaninglessly at the approaching Hairey.

Whooooong!

The sword strike was as fast as Hairey’s. Thanks to that, he was able to stop him from approaching, at least for a moment.

‘Keuak!’

But he couldn’t ignore the increasingly throbbing heart. He felt like he couldn’t bear the burden of Oberon’s Authority any longer.

“Kuraaaaa!”

Was he angry that he had been pushed back by the sword strike? Hairey kicked off the ground again.

He was staring blankly at the approaching fist when,

Thump! Thump!

His heart suddenly began to pound.

[What, what is this?]

Along with Oberon’s panicked voice, a change came over his body.

‘……?’

An alien energy surrounded the hand holding the sword. It wasn’t just the feeling that was alien.

The black energy settled around his hand. That wasn’t the only strange thing.

‘What’s going on all of a sudden?’

The pain that had been squeezing his heart was gradually subsiding.

There was no time to think deeply about the change in his body.

Faaaaang!

He had to respond to Hairey’s energy wave coming from the front.

Taat!

His body began to move again. It wasn’t difficult to avoid the attack. The power and speed were enormous, but his attacks were always linear.

‘If my body can keep up, this is nothing!’

He was freed from the pain that had been holding him back, and his reaction speed was further accelerated by repeated acceleration.

‘If I get a little faster, I might be able to move like I did back in Adonis’ time?’

He had been in danger for a moment, but he couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy at the thought of reaching his prime.

Faaaaaa!

He lightly dodged the energy wave flying from the right.

Thwoooong!

He swung his sword and grazed Hairey’s waist.

The enraged Hairey slammed down with both hands from above.

Taat!

He had expected that much. His body was already moving to the side.

“Kuaaaa!”

He couldn’t inflict any serious damage, but that was enough.

‘This is fun.’

It had been a long time since his body had moved as he wanted. The fact that he could imitate the movements of the Sword Emperor even a little made his blood boil.

“Come on, you tiger cub. I’ll dodge everything.”

He aimed his sword at him again.

Then, a black energy caught his eye.

‘Was it always this big?’

The energy that had been in his right hand had already taken over his elbow.

‘……Let’s deal with that guy first.’

He fell into a trance in the battle with him.

Dodge the fist. Swing the sword. Avoid the kick. Cut again with the sword.

More than ten exchanges unfolded in an instant. However, there was no significant damage to either of them. Hairey’s thick hide was deflecting his attacks as if it were wearing iron armor, and he wasn’t getting hit by Hairey’s attacks.

‘Why is he so tough?’

He was the one who was starting to sweat.

‘I don’t think I can get any faster now…….’

The speed was constantly increasing. The unknown energy was blocking it now, but he didn’t know when the uncontrollable situation would return.

‘It would be nice if I could land one good hit.’

A thought suddenly came to his mind.

‘Is this much aura enough?’

He considered awakening Fragarach [his legendary sword]. If he summoned the soul of the sword, he might be able to land a decisive blow.

He had been gathering aura in the hall for a month, so he currently had 5 stars worth. With that much, he might be able to awaken Fragarach for a short time.

‘It’s definitely worth a try.’

However, the problem was that he had to aim for one good hit. Hairey was also moving with monstrous instincts, so he had to catch the perfect timing.

‘I only have one chance.’

Fragarach was swallowing the aura like water. There would be no second chance.

“Kuaaaa!”

Hairey rushed at him again.

Clench!

Unlike before, his hand was now holding the sword with more force.

‘Just one good hit!’

Hairey’s gaping mouth, screaming, looked particularly large.

‘Okay. I’ll shove it in your mouth.’

Just as Hairey had targeted Shark’s mouth, he decided to do the same. He was about to release all the aura in his body.

Before he could, a huge shadow loomed behind him.

Chwaaaaa!

The river water swirled and soared. It was as if a tornado was forming.

“You cat! You escaped!”

The one who appeared in the gap was a very welcome face.

‘Shark! He was safe!’

He had lost consciousness for a while due to Hairey’s attack, but he had returned to this place again.

“Ian! Are you okay!”

Kashir was riding on his head. She must have brought him here.

“Krrung!”

Hairey stared at Shark instead of rushing at him.

Was it because he was so big? Or was it because he remembered being attacked earlier? His attention seemed to be completely taken away by Shark.

Hairey immediately exploded with strength in his legs. He was flying towards Shark, not him.

‘Okay. Thanks for drawing his attention.’

Now that Shark was back, there was no need to force Oberon’s Authority. The sword that had been constantly swung finally stopped in its place.

Accordingly, the energy of the Authority was gradually disappearing.

‘……Huh?’

And even the black energy that had been on his arm was disappearing.

‘Come to think of it, what was that?’

He had ignored the energy because he was exchanging blows with Hairey. Now he was curious about its identity.

[What else could it be!]

Oberon reappeared next to him.

[Aren’t you even curious that I disappeared?]

He was suddenly angry.

‘Huh? You didn’t disappear, you came into my body because of the Authority.’

[What are you talking about! I didn’t say anything for a long time. Didn’t you even know that?]

Come to think of it, that was true. Oberon’s voice had disappeared at some point. He hadn’t noticed because he was in such a hurry, but he had definitely become quiet.

‘I guess so. Why were you so quiet? You like to talk the most.’

[Like to talk the most! Augh. That’s not important, do you know how much I struggled to stop that black energy?]

‘What?’

[I haven’t been able to say anything since that black energy came out. I was fighting as much as you in your body.]

‘Huh? What are you talking about? Fighting with black energy?’

[Haa! It was so hard that I couldn’t even say a word.]

He didn’t know what was going on. He didn’t even know the identity of the black energy, and Oberon was struggling to stop it.

‘Am I okay now?’

[I think so. It disappeared because I didn’t use the Authority.]

The existence that Oberon called “that guy.”

‘Let’s talk about that later.’

It was definitely a curious story, but there was something more urgent now.

‘I have to help Shark.’

He had been attacked by Hairey once, so he had to help him.

[Will Fragarach respond?]

‘Well, I have quite a bit of aura now. It’s worth a try. We can’t just wait for the reinforcements that Clal is bringing.’

[Hmm. Okay, let’s give it a try.]

He could take advantage of the gap while Hairey was distracted by Shark. He was approaching little by little to observe the battle with Shark when,

‘Amazing.’

Shark revealed his entire body. Shark’s majesty, frolicking in the river rather than in the narrow space of the waterfall, was considerable.

Moreover, he had movements as fast as his huge size. He was not at all pushed back by Hairey, who was following him in the air.

[Can we even get in there? We’ll get crushed between whales.]

‘……Is that so.’

He was about to admire the battle of the monsters for a moment.

Shark’s next action focused Oberon’s and his attention.

‘Why!’

Shark was opening his huge mouth again. Even though he had been attacked in the same way before, he opened his mouth again.

“Kuaaa!”

As expected, Hairey did not miss the moment and flew into his mouth.

[Geez. Shark has good physical abilities, but his combat sense isn’t very good?]

He was about to agree with that when.

‘Huh?’

Fazzat!

An alien sound suddenly stimulated his ears.

Pazzzzzat!

A bundle of lightning began to erupt from the tip of Shark’s nose.

[Could it be……?]

Then, the lightning was shot at the approaching Hairey. The sight was enough to make Oberon and him gape. It was a display of power that looked like a dragon’s breath.

[He… Was an electric eel?]

Hairey, who had been flying in to target his mouth, was directly exposed to the lightning.

“Kuaaaaa!”

He was plunged into the waters with a scream.

‘Heo…….’

It was truly an amazing power. Not only Hairey, but also the terrain around him for dozens of meters was charred black.

‘Did he not use it on purpose before?’

[……Maybe. He was afraid that you guys nearby would get swept away.]

Shark was finally raising the corners of his mouth as if he was satisfied.

“How is it? Shark is amazing when he uses his power properly, right?”

And Karis was shouting even more excitedly.

Of course, it was amazing.

“Krrr…….”

Hairey was getting up even after that terrible attack.

[He’s a really tenacious guy.]

The staggering Hairey. He was staggering and starting to take steps towards Shark. He only had instinct left, so he would continue to fight if his body could move.

‘I guess I have to give him a shot?’

[Well, let’s give it a try.]

He approached the zombie-like guy from behind, holding Fragarach tightly.
