Chapter 56 End (6) (1/2)
*Kwang*
Yeon-woo’s remaining mana erupted. The Mana Circuit started to produce enormous power as its core started to overheat.
Draconic Eyes, Combat Will, Sense Strengthening.
He cast three skills at once, causing his body to overload. But due to this, his body was able to reach its full potency.
Swimming in his own time, Yeon-woo started to make his move in order to make ‘the possibility’ become reality.
All it took him was a brief moment.
Just as it was shown in his Foresight, the first thing he saw was Phante’s punch.
Yeon-woo grabbed Phante’s fist and pulled his arm the other way around.
*Crackle*
Then he kicked Phante in the stomach with his knee.

*Puck*
“Kuk!”
Phante’s whole body rose to the air as he spewed blood from his mouth.
‘One second.’
He could see Phante frowning and trying to regain his balance while in the air.
But Yeon-woo didn’t give Phante a second look. Because next were Vyram’s attacks aiming for his head, neck, and ankle in order.
He dodged the first attack as he lowered himself close to the ground. At the same time, he stomped onto the ground.
*Kwang*
‘Two seconds.’
The ground sank down. A cloud of dust rose up, blocking their views.

But Yeon-woo jumped right into the dust and stretched out his left arm. He felt Vyram’s neck at the tip of his fingers.
Vyram also sensed Yeon-woo’s hand closing in thanks to his buffs, and tried to fall back from Yeon-woo’s reach
However, Yeon-woo had ‘predicted’ even that.
*Swish*
Yeon-woo threw a dagger he had readied in his other hand. But the dagger only brushed past Vyram’s cheek as Vyram quickly turned his head to the other side.
When the dagger missed his head, Vyram thought that Yeon-woo must have used up most of his mana. He believed his victory was at hand.
For the first time, his eyes were filled with a sense of glory.
“It’s over…!”
“Yes. It’s over.”
At that moment.

“For you.”
This is exactly what Yeon-woo wanted. To pull himself apart from the two of them.
Yeon-woo pulled out Vigrid, holding it right in front of his chest.
*Goooh*
Once again, the air began to circle around him, creating a huge whirlwind.
The wind gathered around the sword, compressing itself along the edge. It grew darker and darker as the demonic energy seeped into the wind.
Blessing of the Sword.
Vigrid was radiating a strong energy in reaction to the two strong opponents.
And after it was ready, Yeon-woo swung Vigrid from side to side.
‘Three seconds.’

Vigrid drew a simple diagonal line across the air
*Kwaaang*
But its aftermath was not that simple.
A series of violent explosions took place as the sword unleashed the compressed wind. The demonic energy contained inside burst out in all directions, corroding everything upon contact.
The stage.
The players.
Even the skills.
The thunder energy gathered around Phante’s fists dispersed into the air as if it had been completely eaten up by the demonic energy. His body was horribly mangled by the energy and blown off into the air.
Vyram’s three swords shattered into fragments. The broken pieces of the swords bounced upwards and Vyram had and incredulous look on his face with blood seeping out of his mouth.
*Thud*

*Rumble*
A thick cloud of dust spread throughout the stage.
The sound of player’s horrified screams rang across the whole section.

‘Foresight….’
Last time Yeon-woo checked his skills before moving on to the Section G, he had spent a long time agonizing over the ways to utilize this skill.
And then, he came up with one conclusion.
‘This is useless.’
Most of his skills were quite easy to use. They were powerful even by themselves, and some of them were even more effective when used in synergy.
But Foresight was different.

If only based on its description, it was the best skill he had. A skill that allowed the user to look ahead into the future, albeit for a short time. No other skill could be as useful as this skill.
In particular, Yeon-woo had been on several battlefields where a brief moment of inattention could cost one’s life. He was aware that knowing what would happen in the future despite being only a few seconds ahead, was just like carrying several spare lives.
However,
‘Considering the skill’s duration, it costs too much mana.’
Foresight provided images of the future for only a few seconds. But for those ‘few seconds’, the amount of mana it consumed was just outrageously big.
Even with his mana pool that was bigger than anyone else’s in the tutorial, thanks to the Snow Ginseng and the Neidan, it was still virtually unaffordable.
And an even bigger problem was that he didn’t know ‘when’ he should cast the skill.
‘If I don’t know when my life will be in danger, how do I know when to use it?’
If he were to cast this skill during combat, he would not only have to look at the images for three seconds while facing the opponent, but he would also have to analyze the opponent’s movements and set up a strategy to beat them based on what he had seen.
Definitely easier said than done.

However, Yeon-woo’s thoughts didn’t stop there.
‘What if I mix it with other skills?’
If he could raise his physical ability to its limit while looking into the future…
‘It’ll be a gamble of long odds.’
If it succeeded, he would be able to turn the tables even if he was losing.
But if it failed, that instant would signify his death.
Nevertheless, Yeon-woo tried it out in real combat.
And then,
‘That worked better than I thought.’
The result was a huge success.

“…!”
“…!”
The players couldn’t catch up with the speed of what happened in that short period of time. They only instinctively realized that something amazing and shocking had happened in front of their eyes.
But there was one player who was able follow everything that was happening.
Edora.
She tightly hugged the sword in her arms and raised her head. A glimmer of golden light appeared in her purple eyes.
Insight(慧眼).
Just as Phante was given Thunder Fist, Edora was able to get a hold of another secret skill passed down within the Cheong-lam family. However, its acquisition process was so difficult that no one other than Edora was able to learn this skill.
Insight provided the user with eyes that could see through the inward nature of things.

Thanks to this skill, Phante and Edora were able to take the first and the second ranks.
Edora used Insight to follow Yeon-woo’s movements. And now, she saw Yeon-woo jumping out of the dust cloud.
‘Four seconds.’
