Chapter 59

If the spirits who witnessed that scene were asked for their impressions, they would all say the same thing.

“It’s incomprehensible.”

That was the only way they could put it.

They had no choice but to be stunned.

What they saw was a pure white sword that suddenly turned into a white spear and stabbed Kim Hanjung.

“Wow, crazy.”

“Did that sword just turn into a spear?”

“Where did he get that weapon?”

The audience gasped in astonishment. There were weapons that could change their shape in this mixed world, but they were very rare and valuable.

And yet, Yu-hyun, who was still a regular teller, had one. 

The spirits couldn’t help but be amazed.

“Could it be that he got some support from someone?”

“Huh?”

“You know, I heard that both Eden and Pandemonium are interested in his library.”

“Huh. Is that true?”

“I don’t know for sure, because I haven’t seen it myself. But I heard rumors. That Deep Dark and even Michael showed up there.”

The number of spirits gathered in the audience had already far exceeded 3,000.

They were more than the maximum viewers of Yu-hyun’s library. 

They were curious about the rare fight that happened after a long time.

They had only heard faint rumors about Yu-hyun, but they hadn’t checked his library yet.

And among them, the news about Yu-hyun’s library spread one by one.

‘It has a magic that captivates the audience.’

Satan, who was watching the scene with a sidelong glance, crossed his arms and nodded slightly.

He had noticed his value early and tried to mark him first, but it was thwarted by his desperate refusal. 

How regrettable that was.

Even though he deliberately acted as if he didn’t care, he even attracted Eden’s attention.

‘He’s a very attractive teller.’

He couldn’t afford to be greedy about monopolizing him anymore, but that made Satan burn even more. 

He was a spirit who symbolized corruption, and his only hobby was that.

‘But Deep Dark? Don’t tell me they’re talking about me?’

Satan frowned when he realized why his nickname was so popular among the spirits.

***

‘Damn it! What the hell is going on here!’

Kim Hanjung’s crumpled face didn’t relax. His best option was to desperately avoid the spear tip that was flying towards him.

He flinched at the slight pain in his forehead and tried to block it with his sword, but the spear tip smoothly changed direction in midair and pierced his thigh.

Pssst!

He barely reacted and avoided it, but he couldn’t do it perfectly and got a wound on his thigh.

Kim Hanjung stepped back and clenched his teeth with narrowed eyes.

‘How did the sword turn into a spear so quickly? And what kind of spear technique is that?’

Kim Hanjung thought Yu-hyun was a swordsman because he had a sword at first. But he had to change his mind when he saw him use spear techniques freely.

‘Never mind the shape-changing weapon, but pretending to be a swordsman to catch me off guard. This bastard. He’s so arrogant for a teller.’

Kim Hanjung’s eyes reddened with rage. 

He thought Yu-hyun had tricked and mocked him, and he couldn’t contain his murderous intent.

But he couldn’t rush in recklessly either, because Yu-hyun’s attack just now was quite fierce.

‘But I’ve figured out his spear range by now. And even how he fights.’

The important thing in a fight is to analyze your opponent.

Kim Hanjung may have focused on assassination, but he didn’t neglect other aspects of combat. 

That was something only third-rate people did. 

He considered himself to be first-rate.

He had been quietly growing with the backing of a huge department, and he finally got a chance to shine here. 

He didn’t intend to take it lightly.

‘Yeah. You’re not an ordinary teller either. So you better take this seriously too.’

Yu-hyun didn’t know Kim Hanjung’s thoughts, and he was preparing for his next move with a loose grip on his spear.

One of his legs moved forward, and his right hand holding the spear pulled back.

Kim Hanjung immediately recognized that it was a stance for thrusting and prepared himself accordingly.

‘You idiot. Do you think you can reach me from that distance?’

Kim Hanjung was standing at a spot where Yu-hyun’s spear tip barely missed him.

Even if he stretched his arm and thrust his spear, it wouldn’t hit him. 

And yet he was trying to thrust his spear, which meant he didn’t have much sense of combat.

‘He’s just a rookie who hasn’t had much experience in fighting, even if he’s a fighting teller.’

He was thinking of going under his spear and stabbing his thighs with his two daggers.

Then, Yu-hyun’s spear thrust straight forward.

Bang!

The spear tip tore through the air and cut through the space quickly.

It was so fast and powerful that the fog around it swirled and opened a tunnel-like path.

Yu-hyun was aiming for Kim Hanjung’s upper body. He pretended to pull back and then immediately pushed forward with a rebound.

‘Anyway, his attack range doesn’t reach here…’

Puck!

“Aaargh!”

Kim Hanjung screamed in pain and confusion as he felt a burning sensation in his shoulder.

Yu-hyun’s spear tip pierced his left shoulder properly. 

Kim Hanjung quickly pulled back his body.

“Ugh! How, how did you do that?”

The special armor that protected his body under his ordinary-looking clothes was pierced by a single blow. 

He was lucky to avoid a penetrating wound, but the fact that he was injured was more important.

“You seem to be rolling your eyes and trying to figure out my attacks.”

Yu-hyun saw through Kim Hanjung’s thoughts.

He spun the white lotus, which had turned into a spear, with both hands. 

The white lotus that cut through the air changed its length freely every time it did so.

“Didn’t you expect this?”

Could it be that it could not only change its shape, but also its length?

“Ugh. You’re so sneaky…”

“That’s not something you can say, who wore a good item inside and laid a field that was advantageous to you. Blame your lack of skill, not me.”

“Shut up!”

Kim Hanjung kicked the ground and rushed towards Yu-hyun.

‘If the spear gets longer, I just have to get closer!’

A spear had a long range, but it was hard to use in close combat. 

There was a way to swing it like a club, but he had daggers in both hands. 

It was obvious who had the advantage.

‘I’ll make you suffer and die!’

Kim Hanjung’s dagger stabbed Yu-hyun’s exposed thigh quickly. 

A strike that was made with a terrifying speed. 

The dagger bounced off something before it touched Yu-hyun’s thigh.

Thump!

“Ugh!”

Kim Hanjung’s dagger was bounced off, and at the same time, he was stunned by the impact of hitting his fist. 

Blood dripped from his nose as he looked at what it was. It was a shield.

‘A shield? A shield?’

Where did he get a shield from?

What was more strange was that the spear in Yu-hyun’s hand had disappeared at some point.

‘Weapon changing?’

He had heard of a skill that could switch weapons quickly. 

Could it be one of those?

But Kim Hanjung turned pale at Yu-hyun’s next attack.

The shield changed its shape again and turned into a spear that stabbed him.

“W-what!”

He threw his body back desperately, but Yu-hyun anticipated that and followed him naturally. 

Kim Hanjung kicked his daggers like a horse. 

The red energy on his blade drew a line in the air and shot at Yu-hyun.

Ting ting ting!

The sword that had turned from a spear blocked all of Kim Hanjung’s attacks. 

The surprise didn’t stop there. 

Yu-hyun swung his sword from above to below with a big motion. 

Kim Hanjung crossed his daggers to lift them up, but he felt more shock than he expected and his knees buckled.

‘W-what weight is this!’

It wasn’t just the weight. 

The sword that swung down turned into a fearsome hammer and smashed him with his daggers.

Kim Hanjung’s body wobbled. 

Yu-hyun immediately retrieved his hammer and swung it around, turning it into a huge halberd.

Clang!

Kim Hanjung’s body hit the halberd and flew back like a bowling pin. 

But his flying body was caught by the white lotus that turned into a whip and pulled back to him.

Yu-hyun’s knee kick exploded on Kim Hanjung’s abdomen as he was dragged back.

The spirits who watched the scene from the audience exclaimed.

“How can this be? A weapon that changes so freely!”

“No, more than that, how can he handle all those shapes?”

“Is he really a teller?”

On the contrary, the spirits who knew about Yu-hyun raised their hands and cheered.

“Damn! I knew it!”

“Sword master is good, but our library master is the best!”

“Never underestimate tellers again!”

Kang Hyerim, who watched the scene from the waiting room, didn’t know what to do with her confusion.

“Huh? Huh?”

Her anxiety had become reality. 

The collector sent by the other side, Kim Hanjung’s skill was threatening enough to make her nervous.

But as soon as Yu-hyun collided with him, the alarm in her head that made her anxious had long disappeared.

She should have felt guilty for being wrong, but Kang Hyerim couldn’t even think of that.

It was because of Yu-hyun’s way of fighting.

The white lotus that changed freely and attacked unpredictably was as dazzling as a dance and as practical as a sword master’s dream.

She just lost her mind and couldn’t take her eyes off his fight.

“Aaargh! Damn it!”

Kim Hanjung, who was slammed to the ground, screamed like a scream and got up from his seat.

His shoulders were heaving from his breath, and his body was covered with dust and wounds. 

But the wound to his pride was too big.

-Huh? Huh? Mr. Hanjung. What are you doing right now?

“Hey, hey! What are you doing!”

The doubtful voice of Agael, who was watching the scene, and the voice of Jinpung, who shouted in panic from outside the stage, hit his back.

Jinpung was of course, but Agael also didn’t understand what was going on.

“Shut up! I’ll handle it myself!”

Kim Hanjung had no choice but to fight with all his might. 

He had to somehow defeat Yu-hyun in front of him, to recover his crushed pride.

Yu-hyun sensed Kim Hanjung’s firm will and smiled faintly as he turned the white lotus back into a sword.

“Why. Are you finally getting serious?”

“…You should be praised for pushing me this far. But you were too careless. You should have finished me off when you had the chance.”

Kim Hanjung’s skin started to turn red. 

The muscles in his hands holding the daggers twitched like worms, and red letters like blood rose on his skin.

Agael, who was watching the scene from the manager’s room, widened his eyes.

‘Hmm. He’s fully unlocking his trait here. I didn’t expect him to do that against a regular teller, but it’s over now that he’s done it.’

Of course, he was the one who made Kim Hanjung like that. 

He gave him stories optimized for killing and fighting with the support of the department, and taught him how to use points.

He had raised him as a secret weapon, and it would be troublesome if he didn’t pay back his investment.

“What’s going on? The atmosphere is not good.”

“That guy with the daggers. What is he planning to do?”

Kim Hanjung’s muscles made creaking noises. The excessive [Power of Story] was causing an overload in his body. He felt pain all over his body, but he couldn’t help smiling with joy.

“I won’t let you go now!”

Clang!

Kim Hanjung kicked the ground and the pavement blocks shattered and scattered.

Soon, his figure blurred and disappeared. 

Then, red afterimages appeared in the air, tracing his movements.

Red lines like spider webs were drawn around Yu-hyun.

They were all Kim Hanjung’s tracks.

The spirits who saw that were surprised.

How could a collector who moved like that be unknown until now?

And they had another thought.

Maybe a new star would rise here.

“Hahaha! Can you even catch my movements? It’s too late to regret now!”

Yu-hyun couldn’t follow him with his eyes at such an incredible speed, but he muttered quietly as he stood still.

“That’s right.”

Yu-hyun stepped back and dodged the dagger aiming for his neck lightly.

At the same time, he grabbed Kim Hanjung’s wrist and slammed him to the ground with force.

Thud!

“Ugh!”

Kim Hanjung spat out his breath as he felt a tremendous pain in his back, but he couldn’t understand why he was lying down like this.

“If I knew it would be this boring, I would have ended it sooner.”

Yu-hyun looked down at Kim Hanjung with a calm voice that seemed to find this situation too dull.
