Genius Swordsman In Reverse Game

"Hup!"

Jin Yuha exhaled sharply and kicked off the ground.

Whoosh!

With a sound like a bullet being fired, Jin Yuha's body shot forward.

Swoosh

But the boss wasn't just going to watch.

Swoosh!

The tentacles flew towards Jin Yuha, their mouths wide open.

Sharp teeth filled those mouths, and getting bitten would surely lead to a bad end.

However, without any sign of panic, Jin Yuha twisted his body in midair, dodging the tentacles.

As his body twisted, he swung his blue sword, Moonlight.

Slice

"Kieeeek!!!!"

The severed tentacle let out a horrific scream and glowed, spraying black blood onto the ground.

Meanwhile, Ichika, still clinging to Jin Yuha, struggled against the fierce resistance of the wind, swallowing her breath.

But she clenched her teeth and widened her eyes, determined.

It was all up to her now.

'… The speed is too fast.'

At this speed, trying to create platforms by sight would be too late.

This was a matter of prediction and instinct.

Ichika's mind started racing.

'I'm not sure. About 400 meters ahead, maybe?'

Ichika summoned ten souls to the spot where she predicted Jin Yuha would stop, as she hadn't yet grasped the distance accurately.

As the speed started to slow down, Ichika's brows furrowed slightly.

'A little further.'

But Jin Yuha didn't even look at his footing. He was only focused on taking powerful steps forward, as if he belonged there.

'Go forward!'

Fortunately, her command wasn't too late.

The clustered ghosts materialized under Jin Yuha's feet just in time.

Boom!

With one stomp of Jin Yuha's foot, the summoned ghosts were dispelled.

Drip

Blood trickled from Ichika's nose.

Summoners who use specific summons are connected to their summons through mana.

And when the summons take damage and are dispelled, the mana connection is forcibly severed, which had been causing her mental distress!

Of course, in a normal state, the severing of the mana connection would be insignificant.

But in her current weakened state, even this was quite a risky endeavor.

However, Ichika ignored the signals her body was sending and continued to summon ghosts.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

By repeatedly creating platforms under Jin Yuha's feet and then dispelling them, she gradually got a sense of the distance.

She had started with ten ghosts but now managed to reduce it to just three.

And with each crack of the sword.

Slice

Slice

Slice

Jin Yuha's sword cut through Suzuki Satoru's tentacles.

Defying gravity, Jin Yuha and Ichika continued to soar upwards until they finally reached the boss, who was flapping his massive wings.

Now, with no remaining tentacles, only the round body remained.

"Ichika."

"Hmm."

"Wait, can you maintain the ghosts for a few seconds? And can you hang on to my back?"

"Okay."

Ichika nodded, swallowing down the blood that threatened to rise in her throat.

Jin Yuha, standing on the ghosts, sharpened the consciousness sword and tightened his grip on the hilt.

Clang!

The mana that had been infused into Moonlight seemed to roar like angry thunder.

He sheathed his sword.

Crunch.

He gripped the sheath with his left hand and the hilt with his right, and the veins on his right hand bulged.

Whoosh

He exhaled deeply, adjusting his breath.

Goo

Slowly, blue mana rose from his body like vapor, engulfing even Ichika, who was hanging onto his back, in a fierce blaze.

'The atmosphere has changed…'

A sharpness as if it would mercilessly cut through anything in its path. Ichika swallowed nervously as she watched Jin Yuha, who had heightened his focus.

Screeech.

His body bent downwards, and strength gathered at the tip of his foot that was stretched back. The muscles in his swollen thigh throbbed with tightly compressed power.

Sweat trickled down his forehead, sliding off his chin and falling.

Plop.

At that moment,

He drew his sword.

In an instant.

With speed beyond comprehension, Jin Yuha's body shot forward.

Jin Yuha, who had been holding his sword in front of Suzuki Satoru, was now behind him, his sword drawn.

Then, a thick, black line was etched into the massive figure. Suzuki Satoru, seemingly unable to grasp the situation, rolled his eyes in confusion, searching for Jin Yuha and Ichika.

"…I, I, Ichika…"

Suddenly realizing they had vanished from his sight, Suzuki Satoru tried to turn to find them.

However.

Whirr.

Only the top half of his body turned, precisely bisected.

"I, I, Ichika… Wh-what!?"

Splash!!!!

Like a dam bursting, a flood of black blood exploded from his body.

"…Is it defeated?"

Ichika said, observing the scene. At this, Jin Yuha's expression hardened.

It wasn't because Ichika's words were a cliché of a resurrection spell or anything ridiculous like that. Of course, her words were accurate in the current situation.

'…The final cutscene is still left.'

Even in the game, it was possible to deplete its health just like now. However, the creature never went down without a final struggle.

"Ichika!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

In its last moments, it had launched a desperate final attack.

The black blood pouring from its body began to congeal in mid-air, forming a gigantic spear-like shape.

'…So, it's making a final desperate attack.'

Hmm, originally, in this scene, Ichika's soul would sacrifice itself to block that spear. But with Ichika still alive now, what happens next?

I turned my head to look at Ichika, pondering this.

"…Ichika?"

"..."

I called out to her, but only heard her labored breathing.

Wheeze— Wheeze—

No answer came. It seemed the strain of overexerting herself despite her poor condition was catching up to her now.

Which meant…

The support under my feet was also disappearing.

'Ah.'

As the body started falling from the sky, a question crossed my mind.

'Can a hunter even survive a fall from this height?'

'… But my body isn't in a normal state right now. I took down an enemy meant for six people by myself, so I can't have any strength left.'

And that black spear aiming at me from above.

If I get hit by that, it's instant death.

Not just for me, but for Ichika as well.

"This… I'm really gonna die, huh?"

Still, I had brought it this far somehow.

I never imagined that the story would take such an absurd turn and land me in this ridiculous situation.

It was so absurd that I couldn't help but laugh.

Swoosh

The speed of our descent was increasing.

And the black spear aiming at me was almost ready to be unleashed.

Then…

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud cracking sound came from below.

Thud!

I felt a hand firmly grasping my waist and turned my head in surprise.

There stood Kang Do-hee with red hair flowing, a cheeky smile on her face.

"Are we too late, Mongrel?"

I smirked and replied:

"You're too late."

"Slow─ Down!!!"

Another voice interrupted the conversation between Kang Do-hee and me. This time, it was Lim Ga-eul's.

Wooong—

The mana shot up from below, slowing my fall. I couldn't help but laugh again as I felt my body suddenly float upwards.

"…This is just a slow, not a super slow. That silly noona."

My goodness. The memory of the last black magic stone must have been intense.

"Jin Yuha-nim—!!!!"

Shooook

Thud!

Saa—

Next, Sophia's light arrows shot up in bundles, and the health that had dropped while fighting alone returned. Sophia's heal also reached Ichika, who was clinging to my back.

"Well, I'm so glad and happy to see you all again."

While being lifted by Kang Do-hee, I pointed my finger upward.

"So, how are we going to block that?"

The black spear had started to fall from above.

To block that, we'd need considerable defense. It was an attack that seemed impossible to block even if we combined all our strength.

Kang Do-hee shrugged.

"Why would we block that?"

"Huh?"

"There's someone else to block it."

Kaaang—!!!

As soon as Kang Do-hee finished speaking, a sharp metallic sound pierced the air.

Then, the massive black spear, which had been descending toward me, suddenly veered off and aimed at a woman holding a shield below. This was Velvets' most unique skill, capable of redirecting even the trajectory of a massive black spear.

It was Lee Yoo-ri's provocation.

However, my expression hardened.

"…This, Soup won't be able to block it alone, will she?"

"Don't worry. Isn't she the one you appointed as vice-captain?"

Kang Do-hee then hesitated briefly, choosing his words carefully.

"Well, at first, I was a bit upset about why you made her vice-captain instead of me…but…"

His voice grew slightly quieter, probably feeling embarrassed about confessing his true feelings.

"Now I acknowledge it. She's a great vice-captain for our Utopia."

And then I saw it.

A swarm of monsters gathering around Lee Yuri.

'…Is she using the monsters as a shield!?'

Ha.

Honestly.

'Clearing Jukai Forest in this manner is probably a first in Velvets' history.'

I watched as the descending black spear shredded through the monsters, and I smiled brightly.
