Episode 63. One Hundred Foot Ritual (5)

The moment I took my first step along the glass ahead.

Many faces hardened.

Wooddeuk-.

‘What?!’

It’s only been one step, but it’s changed so much!

A total of 32 people took the first step while struggling.

However, only 22 of them succeeded in putting their feet on the ground.

puseok-.

Ten people fell to the side without even taking the first step.

Meanwhile, 22 people who managed to take the first step are gasping for breath.

thud-.

A heavy sound came again.

Twenty-two pairs of eyes turned to the front, and there was Yuri who had just taken a step.

The complexion of those who saw his back hardened again.

‘more… away?’

Surely they took a step too, but why did the distance with him widen further?

The answer to that question was very simple.

A very simple reason indeed.

‘Two steps… You said you took a step?’

While they struggled, taking only the first step, the guy in front of them took two steps.

Realizing this fact, Gunther gritted his teeth and stepped away.

As a result, others followed suit.

Awesome-.

thud-.

second step like that.

There, ten more fell off, and twelve remained.

The third step followed.

Udududuk-.

Full-.

Those who couldn’t handle the momentum that increased several times compared to the beginning fall out again.

There are now only 7 left.

and.

Jeobeok- thump-.

On the fourth step, the two collapsed.

Jerk-.

After the fifth step, only three remained.

Arin Helga.

Bovikurtankhapurtavi.

and Gunther Irons.

The three people who were the first to follow Yuri.

They are the only ones left.

However, their condition was also not very good.

Arin is on his knees with his upper body half bent.

Poppy, pale and tired.

Gunther, blood dripping from between his lips.

All three bodies trembled like aspen trees.

But they took the next step as if they were competing.

with him.

Full-.

Before taking the sixth step, Arin fell forward.

Jerk- boom!

After that, she succeeded in stepping down, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, Poppy lost consciousness and fell to the side.

Finally Gunter.

thud-.

Having succeeded in taking all six steps, he managed to straighten his upper body, which was about to fold.

shaking-.

It’s as if you’ve entered the deep, deep sea.

The pressure that made it difficult to even breathe continued.

Gunther forcibly held on to his consciousness that was about to go out at any moment and looked ahead.

The boy who was going first took seven steps, and could not easily take the eighth step.

‘barely… according to… I caught… … .’

I chased after that guy who walked first and now I have narrowed the gap to one step.

If she took one more step like this, she would finally be able to stand next to the dark-haired boy.

but.

‘Is it the limit… … .’

The full mana ran out, and the trained body was as heavy as water-soaked cotton.

Seeing that my eyes were turning pure white, I felt as if I had already surpassed my mental limits.

In such a narrowing field of vision.

The extreme-.

A dark-haired boy came in about to take the eighth step.

Gunther’s eyes twitched.

‘That guy?!’

The dark-haired boy was on the move.

Woodeuk- Kkuudeuk- Eudeuk-.

A terrible sound coming from his body.

The hard sound against the rough pressure reached Gunther’s ears.

That was a really dangerous look.

It wouldn’t be strange if he collapsed right away.

But boy in the end.

cooong-.

It made a heavy sound and succeeded in taking the next step.

“Heuk!”

But is it the price of success?

The dark-haired boy’s knees were bent.

Looking at the miserable back, Gunther strained his eyes.

‘Eight steps.’

Having taken six steps, I could have imagined how difficult it must have been to take that eighth step.

Even if it was just two steps away, the pressure that boy would be enduring would be many times his own.

That alone was enough to acknowledge that boy.

‘but… That’s it.’

From nob le mt l dot com

Maybe that guy is at his limit now.

‘The difference between you and me is two steps.’

Gunther recognized the difference.

At the same time, the moment when I slightly let go of the mental string that I was barely holding on to.

Turn it off-.

The boy knelt on the floor and raised his upper body.

A sound like the cry of an animal came from him.

hehehehe!

The boy’s upper body, which had been struggling and screaming, finally straightened up.

Woodeuk-.

he stepped out again.

‘… what?!’

Gunther came to his senses for a moment.

aaagh!

The roaring Yuri’s back was filled with Gunther’s eyes.

‘you… … .’

Finally, a challenger trying to take the 9th step far away.

‘… Aren’t you giving up?’

Full-.

Gunther Irons’ vision darkened.

* * *

When Yuri first took her first steps, people in the audience did not pay much attention.

I just have a little bit of a sad feeling about the first person to step out.

But as soon as he took the second step straight ahead and started to get ahead of the others, he finally started to get curious.

‘It’s pretty good to see that he’s walking smoothly up to the second step.’

‘not bad.’

Soon after, he corrected his posture with an excited face at the scene where the other 50 members started walking after Yuri.

When the 50th class took the first step like that.

“oh?”

“uh?”

After seeing Yuri who took two more steps alone, the audience realized that something was unusual.

‘Are the other guys slow?’

‘No, this is… That guy is fast!’

He acted before anyone else.

He was walking faster and more vigorously than anyone else.

Seeing Yuri who took 4 steps in an instant, the rest of the audience turned serious faces.

‘Fast!’

‘It’s the 4th step, but I still have strength left.’

All those sitting in the audience had already gone through the 100 steps ceremony.

So I knew very well how ridiculously fast that dark-haired guy was walking.

‘That guy walks… Why does it look so easy? I don’t think I did.’

If you have a little skill, you can go up to two steps somehow.

However, from the 3rd step onward, even if mana was raised, the body would be pushed back.

As a result, it was normal to be exhausted from the third step.

But that dark-haired guy still seemed to be able to afford it even after taking four steps.

‘Someone did. If someone else’s job looks easy, that person is really good at it.’

‘Is it the right way?’

Until then, the people in the audience had the feeling that ‘someone who can be used has appeared’.

But when Yuri took five steps and then took six steps.

gulp-.

People swallowed dry saliva.

‘Six steps so quickly?!’

‘Will that guy succeed in the seventh?’

Up to six steps, those called geniuses from the outside often succeeded.

But the seventh step.

From there, the story changes.

It is often said that in the cradle, six and seven separate fake and real geniuses.

Those who succeeded in taking 7 steps that much were counted on one hand.

Because of this, the attention of the audience was focused on Yuri’s seventh step.

cooong-.

When Yuri finally took the seventh step, sighs flowed out from here and there.

“under… The real exhaust came in the 50th.”

“Seven look.”

While the audience stuck out their tongues, those who followed Yuri gradually closed the gap.

After that, when the three people succeeded in taking six steps, the audience sighed once more.

“This 50th class is quite high.”

“One 7-step, three 6-step?”

“One is five and a half paces, but still, this is quite a lot.”

There were also a number of jockeys without six-pace.

In that sense, it could be said that the 50th class, with four of them taking more than 6 steps, was a fairly outstanding jockey.

In addition, didn’t one guy walk 7 steps?

The moment you nod like that.

“uh? That guy?!”

The eyes of the audience returned to the arena at the short surprise someone had uttered.

There was Yuri, who took seven steps and stood still for a long time before starting to move again.

“Hey, eight steps?!”

“Why is everyone excited? Haven’t you succeeded yet?”

someone is surprised

Someone said let’s take a little serious look at the situation.

while they do

thud-.

With a soft sound, Yuri succeeded in making the 8th footprint.

At the same time, seeing him fall forward, many people clucked their tongues.

“under? The year before last and this year too?”

“An 8 step again in 2 years?”

eight steps.

It was a record that came out intermittently after the record of 9 steps set by May Winchester 35 years ago.

A total of 4 people have set the record of 8 steps so far.

The most recent eight-step record came in the 48th.

As a result, people assumed that the record of 8 steps would not come out for the next few years.

However, a person who overturned that expectation and achieved that record once again in just two years came out.

When everyone was so surprised by the record of 8 bo, they couldn’t pay attention to Yuri.

“yet.”

Thearesia muttered so.

“Not yet.”

And as if he had heard her muttering, Yuri’s upper body began to wriggle.

At the same time, a groan erupted.

Heh heh heh heh-.

Yuri’s upper body began to rise little by little, letting out a sound that I couldn’t tell whether it was laughter or crying.

Horror bursts out everywhere.

“Me-that?!”

“crazy!”

Soon, as Yuri fully erected his upper body, his son-in-law became quiet as if he were dead.

49 including the 46th.

And even the Black Swordsmen.

Tens of thousands of people held their breath and looked down at the stadium.

At that place… … .

Ha ha!

Leaving behind hundreds of fallen people.

There was a human who tried to stand up alone.

aaah-!

Yuri let out a roar as if vomiting everything, and finally succeeded in standing up on his knees.

Soon his legs started to move.

in other words-.

In fact, it was at the level of dragging the body rather than walking.

His whole body trembled from the tremendous pressure coming from all sides, but his eyes were clear.

And finally.

Wooddeuk-.

thud-.

He succeeded in taking the ninth step.

“nine… step.”

“oh my god… … .”

The main character who took nine steps appeared in 35 years.

When everyone is in a daze at that amazing fact.

Someone said he was possessed.

“But that guy… yet… Are you still moving?”

“… … ?!”

Like he said, after taking 9 steps, Yuri was still moving forward.

* * *

sick.

From nob le mt l dot com

My whole body seems to have been crushed.

‘I want to rest.’

When I fell down after taking eight steps, I desperately wanted to fall asleep.

But Yuri got up again and walked.

‘Only… I can’t just sit down in eight steps.’

The sword master was still far away.

John, who was going first, still had his back turned to him.

‘Didn’t you say you’d catch up soon?’

So Yuri’s pride did not allow her to sit down after eight steps with her daughter.

That’s why Yuri stood up his upper body far and wide.

bang-.

I took the ninth step.

It was clearly the fruit of an extreme situation.

Even so, Yuri felt inadequate.

he questioned himself.

‘Is this the end? Is this the only thing?’

Yuri looked at herself objectively.

He said he would save it as much as possible, but his mana core was showing the bottom.

Even the level of physical strength that I thought I was confident in.

But for some reason, only my mind was clear.

‘that’s enough. I can go further.’

With that conviction, Yuri moved forward.

And finally.

Whoops-.

The 10th footstep was taken with a different sound than before.

And Yuri’s body collapsed again.

Yuri, who had her face buried in the dirt floor, murmured softly.

“heat… … .”

I only took 10 steps out of 100.

This was the highest record set in 35 years, but Yuri, who did not know that fact, could not be happy.

He just slightly raised his head and looked ahead.

The sword master, who was clenching his chin, was looking down at himself as if he was bored.

‘Like this much… Are you saying you’re not even interested?’

Well, I did that too.

To the guy who was only 90 paces away.

What value would a scumbag that didn’t even need to wield a sword have to him?

Knowing that, even more, Yuri wanted to see the sword master’s expression of boredom change.

but… … .

‘Currently, my capabilities are… Is this all there?’

He was now at his limit.

There was no more strength left to stand up.

It’s to the point where it’s a miracle just to hold on to the pressure from all sides.

‘okay… Let’s admit it. Now I am only ten steps taller.’

He had tested himself, and he had come this far only with the capacity he had built up.

And from now on, he intended to use a slightly different method other than the skills he had accumulated.

Perhaps this could frighten that boring-looking sword master.

The moment Yuri made that decision.

tall-.

The vision of John, who was heading towards the sword master in the distance, stopped.

Then he slowly turned around and sneered at Yuri.

It’s like how long are you going to stay out of it?

Yuri also laughed at this.

‘I understand, I’m leaving soon!’

Shouting inwardly, Yuri spread the handful of mana she had cherished all over her body.

John far ahead.

By the shortcut he rolled and rolled and polished himself.

A mana rod he created to deal with monsters.

A handful of mana quickly ran out.

The Redner family’s arcane horsemanship.

Demonic Ryu.

like that.

Whoo oh-.

The flow of demons began to fluctuate around Yuri.
