Weapon-Eating Bastard [EN]: Chapter 191

Weapon-Eating Bastard – Episode 191

My second eldest sister is strong.

She is one of the few siblings Father acknowledges as a martial artist.

If my eldest brother is an ideal martial artist without bias or weakness,

My second eldest sister is a born fighter who entrusts everything to her fighting spirit and combat instinct.

It was also my first time facing my second eldest sister like this, but I knew what to be careful of.

‘An indomitable body, animal-like extrasensory perception that transcends the limits of the five senses, and the natural talent for martial arts that melts it into formalized martial arts.’

A wild animal that has learned human techniques.

The media often described my second eldest sister like that.

Thud!

My second eldest sister charged straight in without probing or reconnaissance, wielding the Great Mountain with all her might.

‘She’s really no different from a wild animal!’

Koo-oong!

I immediately deployed both the Mana Body and Gravity Field.

Kwaaaaa!

My second eldest sister’s treasured weapon, Great Mountain, moved.

Just the weapon being swung caused a storm-like wind to rage around.

I created some distance and reached into my coat.

In my hand was the newly acquired Saint-grade dagger, the Revolution Explosion Sword.

‘Let’s hit her a few times and start!’

I injected maximum mana into the hilt of the bright red dagger and threw it at my second eldest sister.

Kwarurururung!

A fierce explosion erupted, and a hot wind swept away the surrounding dust.

It was a weapon that created flames that could not be extinguished even with water or piles of dirt.

Moreover, it contained plenty of my aura, so it was quite powerful.

‘But there’s no way that person would falter with just this!’

Puh-uh-uh-ung!

As soon as I thought that, the flames were swept away with an explosion, and my second eldest sister’s green aura burst out.

I took out a new weapon again.

The Saint Spear, White Whale.

The time it took to inject mana and activate the weapon was only 0.3 seconds.

The moment I slammed the White Whale, which was emitting golden light after receiving mana, into the ground, the floor, which was covered with expensive blue steel stone, was overturned, and aura poured like a tsunami towards the green aura.

‘One more hit!’

I let go of the White Whale stuck in the ground and took out the Boundless Blade.

I imbued the Anti-Demon with Crushing Force Art.

The aura melted away as it was.

The sword energy, which decomposes everything it touches, was fired at my second eldest sister several times.

Bang! Kwang! Kwaaaang!

The explosions overlapped, and black smoke billowed out.

But the next moment.

Tuwak!

My second eldest sister jumped out from the smoke.

“Hahaha! You really keep pulling them out! You’re fun! But now it’s my turn!”

Lee Jin-yoon was full of scratches and tears here and there, but she didn’t seem to have any serious injuries, and she wielded the Great Mountain as it was.

‘She swept up all the Celestial-grade and Saint-grade weapons! And she’s already handling them at the Master level!’

Lee Jin-yoon looked at Lee Cheol.

Usually, people feel horrified when they see the durability of her body, but Lee Cheol was taking the next action as if he had expected it.

The guy who just came back from Musaeng is following her movements with his eyes. No, he’s not just following with his eyes, he’s responding!

He’s really an interesting guy!

‘I was right. My youngest, you are……!’

Lee Jin-yoon reached right in front of Lee Cheol and shone with crazy eyes.

‘Kuk!’

I took out another new weapon towards the Great Mountain, which was rushing right in front of me.

The Saint-grade shield, Eight Trigram Shield.

On top of it was the power of the Spirit Beast Wall, the ability of the masterpiece-grade shield Ankhile, which I had absorbed before, and the power of Crushing Force Art’s wave.

But.

Kwazazazazang!

I was clearly thinking of deflecting the Great Mountain at an angle, but instead of deflecting it, the barrier burst and an enormous impact was transmitted.

‘It’s breaking through!’

The moment the result was expected, I let go of the shield without hesitation and rotated my body to wield the Boundless Blade.

My second eldest sister leaned her upper body back to avoid it.

I was shocked to see that.

‘How on earth is her body made……!’

My sister twisted her waist at an angle that could be said to have folded her body in half to avoid it.

A flexibility that even caused fear.

And because of that, the Boundless Blade cut through the air.

Immediately after.

Thud!

My second eldest sister bounced her body elastically like rubber.

And something that was magnified in front of my eyes.

It was my second eldest sister’s forehead.

An enormous green aura was flashing there as well.

‘……!’

I quickly tilted my head to avoid it.

Kwaaaang!

The aura that had formed on my second eldest sister’s forehead burst out, and the air echoed loudly.

Beeeeeeep-.

I frowned, feeling tinnitus [ringing in the ears].

Headbutt.

Even though she moves her body like an animal, it was the first time I had faced a headbutt in this situation.

“Heh!”

And that wasn’t the end of it.

As soon as the headbutt missed, my second eldest sister’s leg rotated like a snake and kicked my popliteal fossa [the area behind the knee].

I quickly pulled my leg away to avoid it, but she quickly chased after me and kept slamming her leg down.

A series of low kicks targeting the lower body.

At the same time, she wielded the Great Mountain.

Her upper and lower body were moving independently, and from my perspective, it felt like I was facing two opponents.

Tak! Tadat! Kwang!

A series of low kicks using her unique flexibility and strength followed.

I felt like my steps were getting tangled.

My second eldest sister’s and my limbs were entangled in a mess.

Small wounds continued to appear on my body from the fragments of aura that burst out as we collided at close range.

At that moment, my second eldest sister’s movements suddenly changed.

She exaggeratedly moved the Great Mountain and swung it towards my torso.

My eyes lit up.

‘That’s a feint. The real attack is…… another lower body attack?’

The Evil Eye quickly distinguished between the false and the real.

I blocked the Great Mountain aimed at the side with the Boundless Blade, and pushed my foot out to deflect the point of impact of my second eldest sister’s kick.

Then.

I extended the length of the Boundless Blade that blocked the Great Mountain and slammed it down towards my second eldest sister’s instep.

“Heok!”

Kwajak!

My second eldest sister kicked her extended foot up and back, rotated several times with the recoil, and then leaped back.

A brief lull.

My second eldest sister and I stood facing each other from a distance.

* * *

My second eldest sister tore off her tattered coat and threw it into the air.

“Hehat! You really fight well?”

“I’m also a bit unconventional like my second eldest sister.”

I checked my mana and tapped the floor with my toes.

If my unconventionality lies in free mana manipulation and weapon techniques, my second eldest sister’s unconventionality lies in the abnormal movements of her body.

‘Even if I concede a hundred times, I can’t say it’s orthodox.’

Just now, it would have been right to aim for the upper body instead of the lower body and pressure me with the Great Mountain.

No matter how I think about it, attacking with that heavy weapon is more efficient than bare-handed combat.

But she just did it.

As a result, I was briefly swayed by that combat method that deviated from the norm.

‘Now I know why Father said in my past life that my second eldest sister inherited the blood of Soongmoo Lee family more strongly than anyone else.’

Now that I know about the secret history of our family’s bloodline, I understand what that means.

Even if it’s Soongmoo Lee family, such physical abilities that have transcended humans.

Looking only at the physical aspect…… my second eldest sister might have been the strongest in the Soongmoo Lee family of this era.

“You’re strong. Really strong.”

“……Are you going to keep acting like a crazy person like that?”

“Hehe…… I don’t know what you’re talking about? But youngest, what grade did you say you are now?”

“Officially, I’m Grade 4.”

“Bullshit. If you take out all the weapons you’re hiding now, you’ll be at least Quasi Grade 2.”

Koo-oong!

My second eldest sister placed the end of the Great Mountain on the ground.

The ground, which had already been torn apart, screamed once again.

“Still, well, seeing that you’re a bit lacking, you’re still Grade 3.”

“What does that mean?”

“They’ll be coming soon, right?”

“What’s com…… Cough!”

I spat out blood in an instant.

Only after coughing up blood did I discover the subtle aura that had penetrated my body.

‘When did this happen?’

It was a minor internal injury, but my mana system had been damaged without my knowing.

My second eldest sister smiled slyly and said.

“It seems you haven’t mastered all of the family’s secret techniques yet, have you?”

Secret techniques?

Only then did I narrow my eyes.

“……You used Eodukshini [a secret technique to infiltrate aura].”

“Looks like you know it.”

One of the 12 Secret Techniques, the 5th Secret Technique Eodukshini.

A secret technique that infiltrates aura into the body so meticulously that even a martial artist who has reached the realm cannot detect it…… or so I knew.

‘But originally, Eodukshini is an infiltration-type attack. It’s an attack that has to make contact in some way. But I’ve never been hit directly.’

I stared intently at my second eldest sister.

It passed through my protective shield that protects my body, and even passed through Eunhan’s barrier to let aura flow into my body.

And that was from a distance, not a direct hit.

This is something that can’t be blocked.

My second eldest sister’s level was just one step above me.

“Ptooey.”

I spat out phlegm mixed with blood.

This level of internal injury wasn’t even worth mentioning.

I immediately recovered it through Recovery Art and Black Energy.

“Haha! You’re strong, but you’re still far off. So…….”

My second eldest sister kicked off the ground like a beast again.

No, at the moment she was about to kick off, I wiped the blood from my mouth and said.

“My second eldest sister didn’t notice either.”

“What…… huh?”

Flash!

In an instant, the dark training hall was submerged in light.

That light was held in Lee Cheol’s hand.

‘……That spear! The one he used on my eldest brother!’

I thought it was a weapon that took time to activate, but when did he prepare such a spear?

Without even being detected by her senses!

“You shouldn’t have been having a conversation while being so relaxed!”

“You cunning bastard……!”

Lee Jin-yoon belatedly tried to pull her body away.

Swish!

But she couldn’t pull it away.

The aura that had stretched out along the ground was binding her feet.

Crushing Force Art, Chain.

It was the evolved aura skill of Crushing Force Art, Underworld.

“Tsk!”

Lee Jin-yoon hurriedly wielded the Great Mountain to scatter all the restraints, but even after that, Lee Jin-yoon realized that an invisible ‘something’ was still slowing her movements.

Twitch!

That something was Black Energy, which now had a weak physical force.

Lee Jin-yoon’s movement stopped for only a brief moment, but it was enough time for Gyeongcheon to collide with Lee Jin-yoon.

Kwaaaaaang!

The Celestial-grade spear, Gyeongcheon, collided with my second eldest sister like a bolt of lightning.

The next moment, the world lost its color and was dyed with the black and white light residing in Gyeongcheon.

I opened the eye I had closed in advance, recovered the Black Energy, and kicked off the ground.

‘You wouldn’t have expected this!’

When I poured out ranged attacks at the beginning, I had already injected mana and thrown Gyeongcheon far away.

At the same time, I even hid its presence by covering it with Crushing Force Art, Water Scales, an evolved form of Mirage.

The mana injection for full-scale activation was prepared while continuing the battle, and when the preparation for throwing was completed, I grabbed it in my hand using the power of Gyeongcheon to return to its owner.

Subtle, precise, and difficult aura control.

Moreover, it is a tactic that requires full use of the power of the weapon itself.

But it was not an impossible feat for me, who had now completed 4 Stars.

‘You were careless. Eldest sister!’

I approached my second eldest sister, tearing through the shockwave of Gyeongcheon.

Even though Gyeongcheon, which even my eldest brother was wary of, was prepared to be activated from a distance, its power had been significantly reduced, so it was not enough to finish her off.

So, the finishing blow must be done after this.

I clenched the Boundless Blade in my left hand and unfolded Black Lotus.

At the same time, I held Black Night tightly in my right hand.

It was insurance to eliminate my second eldest sister’s defensive techniques that I might not know.

The moment I approached my second eldest sister like that.

“Ha.”

My second eldest sister smiled.

I had the illusion that my second eldest sister’s huge body, covered in blood from being hit by Gyeongcheon, had suddenly become twice as large.

“Youngest, you’re really the real deal.”

It’s coming.

I know what this sense of incongruity is.

Sword Mind.

Swish!

With the sound of the air splitting, my second eldest sister’s Great Mountain was swung.

* * *

Meanwhile.

In the Lord’s office, located far away from the arena where a fierce battle was taking place.

Kwaaaang!

Lee Tae-shin took off his glasses at the sound of the explosion that shook the ground and looked at Chief Butler Choi, who was standing next to him.

“Is that the youngest?”

“Yes, it is.”

“The opponent is the second eldest.”

The place where Lee Cheol was fighting against the second Lee Jin-yoon was quite far from the office.

However, Lee Tae-shin perfectly captured the energy even from a distance and even recognized whose energy it was.

Lee Tae-shin stared out the window for a long time, then opened his mouth.

“An interesting result has come out.”

As if he had already predicted the result, Lee Tae-shin had a strange expression on his face.

After a while, Lee Tae-shin erased his expression and turned his head towards Chief Butler Choi.

“Anyway, is the preparation finished?”

“Two out of the nine cannot move right now, so they said they would join later.”

“I see.”

Lee Tae-shin nodded and pondered for a moment.

Then, he slowly looked out the window and continued.

“When the things the youngest is doing are settled and the family becomes a little quieter, we should gather the children.”

Gathering the children.

It was an order to create the same position as when he returned from his previous trip.

“Yes, I will prepare in advance.”

Chief Butler Choi replied plainly.

Previously, he had listened to his children’s reports, but this time, Lee Tae-shin was planning to notify them of his trip.

And…… perhaps the story that all the children were curious about would come out there.

“I’m curious.”

Lee Tae-shin suddenly blurted out.

It was unknown what he was curious about.

However, Chief Butler Choi seemed to know the meaning of the words and lowered his head silently.
