Chapter 22 Part1 (2/2)

”Tch... You thought that would work!?”

Jin responded so quickly that their connection temporarily became faint, breaking through the area the skill was in effect. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo grit his teeth and gripped the Lightning Tooth in preparation for the coming collision. His goal was to not get hit while simultaneously lodging his sword into the back of s.h.i.+no's head.

[I won't... fall for that twice!]

But before Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's sword came into contact with his head, s.h.i.+no stuck out his right arm, as if taking Lee s.h.i.+n Woo head on; his stuck out right arm created an intense pressure on the surrounding area.

Despite not personally cras.h.i.+ng into him, both Jin and Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's bodies simultaneously felt his absurd strength! His physical strength was augmented by a magical force as well.

”Tch...!”

”Gguaaaaahk!”

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's body suddenly stopped midair. He momentarily thought it was a waste, and shot one of the Lightning Tooths that had followed behind him into the air.

s.h.i.+no attempted to intercept this one was well, but the Lightning Tooth, filled with an abundant amount of mana, was able to disperse the pressure, and struck the middle of s.h.i.+no's forearm. It softly cut through the arm as if slicing through cheese, as it was powered by an overwhelming amount of magic!

[Kuaaaaaaaahk! You bastarrrrrrd!]

”Heup!”

s.h.i.+no cried out, and forcefully flailed his arm, but at that moment, the pressure that prevented Lee s.h.i.+n Woo from moving was released! At that very moment, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo stuck his Lightning Tooth into s.h.i.+no's arm. It was a truly lightning like combo!

”Heut!”

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo had succeeded in his attack, and the moment he retreated, s.h.i.+no's arm cut through the air emitting a menacing piercing power. If he were hit by that, a part of his body would've been smashed to bits regardless of his defense; fortunately he had attacked after Lee s.h.i.+n Woo was quite a distance away.

”Explode!”

[Kuaaaaaaahk!]

The two Lightning Tooths simultaneously exploded and s.h.i.+no's arm broke into pieces. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo, who had evaded the explosion by retreating, gripped his last remaining Lightning Tooth and pressed Jin to dash forward again. If he regenerated his arm, things would become difficult!

”Heuuup...!”

[You undead b.a.s.t.a.r.ds...! You hateful...!]

He had already activated his super regeneration, and his bones, as well as his muscles were beginning to heal starting from his shoulder. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo, who thought that he would miss his chance to attack in just a few seconds, gritted his teeth and stretched out his sword.

[Kuahk!]

s.h.i.+no Rendu attempted to hold Lee s.h.i.+n Woo back with his left arm, which was tiny in comparison to his right arm, but unfortunately, his left arm wasn't able to stand up against Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's Lightning Tooth. Immediately after sparks were emitted atop the blade, s.h.i.+no's left arm flew into the air.

”Then... Rest in peace, Senior!”

”Did you really have to say something like that!?”

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo, gripping his sword, immediately lodged his sword into s.h.i.+no's head. With a cracking sound, his head was cleaved in two.

Before his super regeneration repaired that crack, his previously summoned Melting Bone Double Axe which he had poured mana into and charged prior, precisely burrowed into the crevice. Even Lee s.h.i.+n Woo thought that his control was hair-raising.

”Explode, the both of you!”

[Kahahk!]

The final remaining bombs exploded. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo and Jin weren't able to dodge the ensuing explosion completely, and were swept away by the rear blast. However, it wasn't as bad as having their head blown off.

”Hoo...”

”Huuu...”

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo inspected s.h.i.+no Rendu, who had fallen flat on his face, and sighed deeply. Jin also spoke as though he was sapped of all his energy.

It was a battle where they used all available means to win in such a short time. He had used up all four Lightning Tooths saturated with mana in an instant, and even the Melting Double Bone Axe as well!

[..., ...!]

But in exchange, it was truly that effective. Perhaps because s.h.i.+no had lost both his arms and his head in one fell stroke, his super regeneration had slowed down, and the addition of Acid Poison following the explosion would melt away his body, even if those body parts were restored!

'We won.'

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo smiled pridefully, and stretched out one arm into the air. The weapon he'd summoned and gripped was none other than the Drake Horn Lance.

Since he was his senior, should he give him a magnificent end? Screw that. Despite using up all of his weapons, he hadn't yet died and endured, so Lee s.h.i.+n Woo had no choice but to completely end him.

”You're ready, right Jin?”

”Hoo... Ok.”

As it was a short and intense battle, Jin was likewise pus.h.i.+ng himself. He had been continuously turning his body here and there whilst pus.h.i.+ng his concentration to the limit. As a result, he had sustained damage in various places on his body. If he weren't undead, he would've fallen over already. Likewise, if it weren't for Steel Heart, his lumbar vertebrae would already have been broken.

”Good, then.”

[Did you say... Senior?]

But then, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo heard a voice that made his body feel cold. Were his vocal cords restored during that time!? Of course, there were several who could speak without vocal cords in this world, so it wasn't actually something that surprising!

[Yeah. I'm a... hero...]

”No, you're undead.”

[Undead... I'm undead...]

Let's finish it here. It would be better to finish it here than let things get out of hand, right? Lee s.h.i.+n Woo nodded his head and raised his lance high up into the air.

'Calling...'

With the mana (he'd stored a ton of mana into his Lightning Tooths, so he had about 80% of his mana left) he had remaining, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo infused his mana into the tip of the lance, creating a dark blue lightning.

[I don't want to...]

”Thunder...”

[die... though.]

Why was it? The moment he heard that, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo lost all strength in his body. He tried to figure out why, but his actions just came out as obviously illogical to him... Despite coming to that conclusion, he ultimately spoke like this.

”...Do you want to live, even at the cost of living on as an undead?”
