Chapter 120: The Tables have Turned
The wind from the shockwave that swept the area around Ji-woo abruptly returned to him forcibly. It made Momoka, who had got pushed back, get pulled forward.
She couldn’t apprehend the current situation. Even the matter of Ji-woo being alive still left her confused and wondering how. Anyhow, to avoid being pulled forward, she stuck her wooden staff into the ground and used earth magic to create a boulder to block the suction.
Suddenly, the sucking wind stopped. The atmosphere was calm and quiet.
Momoka frowned. She briefly tried to peek while leaning against the boulder, only to find that Ji-woo wasn’t where he floated before. She reflexively looked left and right while trying to sense the presence of Mana around there. She looked back at the front, behind the boulder, after finding no trace of Ji-woo.
“From this moment, none shall withstand me!”
Momoka didn’t know the words the voice spoke. But, she knew it was Ji-woo and immediately turned her face and launched a punch with her right hand nimbly.
Ji-woo also reacted quickly and raised his right arm to ward off the blow. The right arm continued to circle the head once and then hit Momoka’s stomach with the palm.
The blow was so powerful that the boulder also shattered because Momoka got thrown violently.
Kaboom!
Momoka crashed heavily onto the ground and left a deep pit. She tried to get up and sit up, coughing up blood several times. She became angry, and veins popped out of her temples when she saw the blood on her hand. She stared with fury and hatred at the still hovering Ji-woo.
Ji-woo didn’t float as high as before. So, it was very comfortable descending to the ground.
Momoka took advantage of the opportunity and summoned dozens of fire arrows mixed with electric elements with the Magic Manifestation technique. Previously, it had managed to get Ji-woo in a pinch. So, there was no reason not to use it.
Without further ado, she immediately shot dozens of arrows with the combined part. Meanwhile, she enveloped her wooden staff with the electric element on the spot.
“I shall bring an end to magic!”
Ji-woo’s two voices resounded, exuding an overbearing and oppressive aura. The ground shook, and he raised his arms forward at the level of his shoulders.
“The curse of my soul, Nullifier!”
Zap, Zap–
Two pieces of light emerged in front of Ji-woo’s palm. And it immediately condensed into two weapons. It was a dual sword with one sharp edge.
It was his power to project weapons, such as two small twin swords with the same shape. The overall length of one weapon was about 49 cm, with a blade width of 11 cm. One sword color was sky blue and amethyst, while the other sword was denim and black.
Ji-woo grabbed the two short swords and rebuked all those mixed element arrows, repelled them to the ground, and broke it into two. He did so effortlessly and didn’t seem bothered at all.
Momoka narrowed her eyes. ‘To be able to break an arrow in half requires a Magic Manifestation for it. But, the boy was clearly devoid of Mana. How could he do that? What he is?!’
She bit her lips and stretched out her right arm, and a fiery sword materialized in her grip. She had a bad feeling about this. Her nervousness hadn’t gone away since Ji-woo got up again.
On the spur of the moment, Ji-woo appeared beside Momoka, who just got up from the ground and swung a sword with sky blue and amethyst color in his left hand.
Momoka was clearly taken aback by the surprise attack and didn’t expect Ji-woo to close their distance in an instant. There was no sign that Ji-woo was running toward him, Even though they were pretty far apart. And Ji-woo’s appearance seemed to have appeared in a blink out of nowhere.
She had no other choice but to parry with the fiery sword in her right hand. She didn’t even have time to set up a barrier to it.
Bang!
The flames sword instantly broke into two, and Momoka got thrown far away from where she stood before.
Kaboom!
A tremendous rumble occurred where Momoka got thrown. She immediately got up on her knees, spewing handfuls of blood onto the ground. Her right shoulder and stomach hurt so much every time she made any movement.
Unbelievable!
It was not easy to beat her. Even an ArchMage couldn’t play around like this if they fought. However, she was now suffering a lot from just the boy’s two attacks.
What was f*ck*ng sh*t tale was that?
Momoka’s right hand still trembled from the pain. She stared at Ji-woo, who was a bit far from her.
Ji-woo just stood there without any movement and emotion on his face. It was as if the woman he had beaten up meant nothing anymore.
“I warn you. And now, I shall kill you.”
Ji-woo jumped this time instead of blinking like before and swung the sword with denim and black color in his right hand.
Momoka clicked her tongue and used the electric elemental spear to ward off the slash in resignation.
Thud!
It was the sound that signaled that her spear parry was successful.
Ji-woo fell silent at that, while Momoka swiftly enveloped her body in flames and flew away from him, taking advantage of the luck of the block.
Momoka floated in the air with flames all over her body like a unique fire element beast. She wondered why she was able to block the slash.
‘I know now. The one on the left was a sword capable of breaking Magic Manifestation, while the one on the right was not. It’s probably just an ordinary weapon. So, it’s not capable of destroying my electric spear.
‘Well. Now I only need to be wary of the sword in his left hand. And everything will be good.’
Ji-woo, who looked at Momoka, who was only floating in the air without doing anything, tilted his head. Not long, he jumped with full force, causing the ground to shatter.
Momoka had anticipated that. She instantly dispelled the electric element and used her wooden staff to counter Ji-woo’s attack. She then dispelled the flames in her body.
“Soul Destroyer, Nightmare!”
Both Momoka and Ji-woo immediately fell to the ground in different positions. One fell on her two feet, and the other knelt down as if he was sleeping.
“Finally! I can’t do it if the distance is too far. That’s why I waited for you to get close. And I don’t know why you don’t use the ability that can appear in an instant again. But now, I will kill you even if it has to be hundreds of times!”
Momoka lowered her head and took the sky blue and amethyst colored sword in Ji-woo’s left hand. She retreated far back quickly while holding the weapon in her right hand. She felt uncomfortable being around Ji-woo. Thus, she planned to kill Ji-woo remotely with Magic Manifestation.
Unexpectedly, she felt Mana rapidly get drained from her body. Her eyes immediately fell on the sword in her right hand. Blood vessels were visible in that hand. She realized that her Mana had got sucked into the weapon at an alarming rate.
She panicked and immediately tried to remove and throw the sky blue and amethyst colored sword. But, no matter how much effort she put in, the weapon couldn’t get separated. She even threw the wooden staff and tried to release the sword with both hands.
In the midst of her panic and fear, Momoka turned her face to where Ji-woo was. But instead, she got surprised that Ji-woo was in front of her eyes, stabbing denim and black colored sword into her stomach.
She coughed up blood and didn’t do anything after that. It was because her Mana also got drained at the same time. So, the energy she had was already at the limit.
“Y-You didn’t get sleep by that!? It didn’t work?”
Ji-woo took the sky blue and amethyst colored sword from Momoka’s hand, ignoring her.
Hahaha–
Momoka laughed while feeling helpless. From the first year of the Portal Gate until now, she had never weakened. Instead, she was getting stronger to the point of being able to match the ArchMage. But why would a boy like Ji-woo appear out of nowhere and have powers that go against Mana?
That was not fair!
Momoka’s eyes started to dim, and because her Mana was running low, she didn’t have much strength to retaliate anymore. The catastrophe began when Ji-woo got resurrected.
She mustered the remaining strength she had and made a desperate move by taking out the Dungeon Bead she had from the start before fighting Ji-woo. In her head, there was only escaping as an atonement for her weakness. She was no longer able to think clearly at the moment of her death.
Scretzh–
Ji-woo slashed Momoka’s neck with the blue sky and amethyst colored sword without giving much thought about it. He then pulled out the denim and black colored sword from her stomach.
“Mana comes from God and shall return to God.”
