Chapter 243
After lightly dodging Scarlet's skill-enhanced attack and retreating, Yuna maintained her expressionless face as usual.
But inside, Yuna thought while watching Scarlet charge at her again.
The chat was saying such things, but
Yuna had meant it sincerely.
The recent clash hadn't lasted very long,
But she should have been able to push at least one of them to near-retirement.
'This is troublesome.'
Scarlet, a knight-class profession.
Kang Hoon, a spearman who could fight at mid-range.
Mau, an archer with quick harassment and threatening attacks.
Finally, Noctis, a mage capable of various debuffs.
The combination of the four was better than expected,
So it would have been advantageous if she had taken out at least one during the initial ambush.
It was regrettable.
Though at least it was fortunate there was no healer?
They probably had contingencies,
But Yuna had some as well.
Yuna readjusted her sword grip while observing them with an expressionless face.
In contrast to the expressionless Yuna, the four single rankers' faces were thoroughly crumpled.
"......"
"......Hmm."
"......Haa."
"Tch."
Everyone realized from the recent clash.
In terms of control alone, it wouldn't be easy to beat Yuna.
If they had faced her one-on-one, would any of these four have been able to last long?
Despite being among those closest to the pinnacle,
Compared to Yuna rising from below, they were like fireflies before the sun.
They say there are many geniuses but only one summit.
Among those present, the one closest to that summit was none other than Yuna.
And everyone present could feel it.
It was something they had known before, but facing her directly made it even clearer.
A tense standoff filled with tension.
The viewers watching also sweated nervously and swallowed hard.
- But why are they fighting?
- They always seemed to dislike Yuna, but now they're ganging up on her.
- Didn't Yuna initiate it?
- No, no, if you look, they prepared first, even coordinating for a group attack lol.
- They prepared a coordinated attack from the start? That's cowardly...
- lol But even now, ganging up seems reasonable. Yuna is ridiculously strong.
When the taut string of tension was pulled to its breaking point, Yuna was the first to make a move.
The first to react to Yuna's low-sprinting approach was Mau, who had already nocked an arrow on his bowstring.
Mau's skill-enhanced arrow painted the air with a blue aura like capturing the azure sky as it shot down.
The speed and sharpness left no sound of cutting through the air.
Also, while flying Black Starly toward Yuna, the blue energy compressed once and shot backward, using that propulsion to accelerate further.
As the blue energy-wrapped arrowhead flew toward Yuna at increased speed,
Yuna's pupils locked precisely onto the arrowhead, gripping her sword and releasing energy.
The sword, wrapped in brilliant orange light, moved very slowly, but its trajectory remained clearly visible in the air as it was swung.
The slow-trajectory sword aimed at a point where the arrow had not yet arrived, and the arrow, which hadn't been there moments before, was drawn in as if magnetized to meet the sword.
Kwajiii——!!!
Pasasasasasa———!!!
Though the sword's speed seemed too slow to block the incredibly fast arrow,
The arrow that met the sword as if drawn to it stopped still in midair, and countless cracks appeared across its surface.
Simultaneously, the blue energy wrapping the arrow also shattered and fell apart.
The arrow eventually turned to powder against the seemingly slow sword strike, scattering in all directions and dispersing the blue energy into the air.
As it scattered like jewels through the air,
It resembled the Milky Way.
However, Mau, who had shot the arrow, bit his lip at this beautiful sight and nocked another arrow.
Taking advantage of the confusion,
Magic circles completed in front of the twin staves held by mage Noctis.
Kwaaaa——!
Kwajjjjjjjj——!!!
From one staff, vast magical power erupted like an energy blast, emitting flashes, while the other staff wrapped that flash with lightning.
A lightning-wrapped magic cannon.
Though its speed couldn't compare to Mau's arrow,
In terms of power alone, it far exceeded Mau's arrow.
. Rather than a harassment attack, it was closer to a finishing move.
He could only say that.
Then,
- Wow, crazy, Yuna-nim won.
- She actually won;;;;
- Demon King-nim!!! Yuna-nim won!!!
Seeing those chats, Seonghyun smiled with great interest.
So the single rankers had fought amongst themselves.
It seemed she had won in the end.
Should he say, "as expected"?
Hearing the news, Seonghyun nodded and said,
"It seems my sister won."
- Sister?
- ???? Sister?
- Ooh!? What's the relationship between the Demon King and Yuna? ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel(ꜰ)ire.net - Calling her sister, they must be close?
- Isn't there something going on? lol.
- They're both skilled, and they're a handsome man and a beautiful woman!
- lolol Are they dating?
As everyone was chattering about such things,
Seonghyun frowned slightly at some of the chats, looking a little displeased.
How could they link him with his sister?
Was that why?
The usually calm and composed Seonghyun was gone.
He answered without realizing it.
"She's my biological sister."
- ???????
- ???????????
- Huh?
- Biological siblings??????
The chat window was flooded with question marks at the sudden statement.
And seeing that, Seonghyun muttered as if he had forgotten.
"Ah, was I not supposed to say that?"
