Chapter 185 Shadow Dojo (10) (1/2)

“Territory Announcement.”

[Dragon’s Authority, ‘Vina,’ has been announced. You are able to exercise your authorities in your territory.]

[The 2nd step authority has been activated.]

[Authority: Dragonic Pressure.]

[All attributes increase within the set time.]

[All defenses increase as much as your magic power.]

…..

He ignored the familiar messages and immediately used Blink.

Where Yeon-woo arrived was right behind the shadow. Yeon-woo swung his Aura-filled Vigrid.

Boom!

The shadow flicked it away with his hand. The shadow’s hand was so tough that it was only slightly scratched.

Yeon-woo and the shadow exchanged some blows.

Yeon-woo relentlessly attacked, and the shadow calmly avoided the attacks.

But what Yeon-woo felt from the process was that…..

‘He’s a lot weaker than I thought.’

The Martial King was a lot less skilled than he had expected. Of course, he wasn’t weak, since he was still stronger than Yeon-woo’s brother.

The shadow was similar to someone with a 2nd step authority, like him. He thought that it was ‘doable.’

‘Is there not that much of a difference in the data?’

Even though the shadow was obsessed with becoming stronger, he was still limited by the system from when he was recorded in the hall of fame.

That was probably it. Since if the shadow was able to grow stronger after it was made, it should’ve been as strong as the Martial King.

Once he realized that, he understood how to use the 8 Writings of Divinations of the shadow.

‘Since he couldn’t change his attribute, did he focus on his martial arts?’

Yeon-woo lightly clicked his tongue thinking that things like this happened. It had probably been decades since the shadow was recorded in the hall of fame. In that time, he had probably practiced his Eight Extreme Fists again and again. Yeon-woo realized how the Eight Extreme Fists was this abnormal.

He felt that shadow was amazing for being able to grow that much with his obsessiveness.

‘No. This isn’t just obsessiveness, but…..’

Then, the shadow brought his fist closer to himself. It was definitely the 8 Writings of Divination.

‘It’s almost like a habit…..’

With those thoughts, Yeon-woo quickly activated Blink. He appeared behind the shadow and attacked his lower body.

A wall made of dirt crumbled. Between the stones, the shadow and Yeon-woo were both doing something different.

The shadow spread out his hand to explode lightning, and Yeon-woo got his Wave of Fire ready.

As lightning and fire clashed, a high column of light soared up to the air. Dust, cloud, and smoke also floated up.

Yeon-woo consecutively used Blink and Haste to escape the range of the explosion. He was able to control them now somewhat, and thanks to them, the effects of the two magic spells had dramatically increased.

Yeon-woo observed the explosion from the ends of the instant dungeon.

His Extrasensory Perception and Draconic Eyes chased after the shadow.

[Master!]

Then, Shanon frantically shouted in his head. He could also feel Hanryeong and Rebecca. They wanted to come outside. He could feel their fury from the previous attack.

However…..

‘Wait.’

Yeon-woo shushed them. Right now, it was time to focus on what was at hand.

‘He’s coming.’

Boom—

Not too long after he was finished thinking, the shadow of the Martial King approached him at a rapid speed from the dust cloud.

His laughter-filled face crumpled violently. Unlike Yeon-woo, who had escaped from the explosion almost unscathed, the shadow was a bit injured. His burnt skin was smoking.

However, Yeon-woo knew that an injured beast was more violent. If the shadow had been enjoying this, now, he would come at him with his full strength.

Also, he didn’t seem as injured as Yeon-woo initially thought. Had he used the Eight Extreme Fists to escape?

It seemed so. That was what his Draconic Eyes and Extrasensory Perception were telling him.

[Time Difference.]

Before he clashed with him again, Yeon-woo thought to himself.

If this went on, he wouldn’t win. He might lose, or it might be a tie if he used Shanon and the others’ strength.

But that couldn’t happen. Yeon-woo was hoping for one thing.

Complete victory.

He wanted to defeat the shadow one-sidedly. He wanted to defeat the Martial King, and he thought that it might be possible to make his brother come alive again.

He needed to come up with a strategy before there was another fight.

Or he would need to get a clue to get a power that would help him defeat the Martial King.

First of all, what was the difference between him and the shadow?

They were similar, but their proficiency in Eight Extreme Fists was different.

Since the shadow had trained himself for tens of years while being trapped in this place.

But that aside, the shadow probably would’ve been better well-versed in the Eight Extreme Fists than Yeon-woo when he got here in the first place.

So he began to think again.

‘What was the difference between me and the Sword God, or Nocturne?’

He thought of the Martial King’s disciples he had met so far. They were already walking their ‘paths’ at this point. Yeon-woo had multiple skills, but he wasn’t as good as them.

A path of his own. This was what Yeon-woo was contemplating about these days. He had become master with Aura, but Yeon-woo still didn’t know about the path he was walking.

There was definitely more he wanted. To be faster and stronger.

However, the problem was that Yeon-woo didn’t really want to walk the path of a martial artist.

It was fun learning Mugong. He became competitive, and it was satisfactory. However, although it was fun, it didn’t do much for his goal.

So Yeon-woo decided to change his interests.
