appears.
everything is visible
It was as if a fraudulent map hack had been launched. It’s like looking at everything about the other person in real time.
‘This is what happens…’
My first thought was doubt.
Just to live. Because I don’t want to end up in a stampede in a place like this. I didn’t want to die in such a miserable way, so I just rolled over and crawled around. As such, he was just trying to avoid the Minotaur’s crazy and destructive violence.
But has that kind of earnestness been reached? Or is there a strange overlap between coincidence and inevitability? I was given the ability I needed most at the moment of greatest need.
‘Acupoint scanning? A vague precision diagnostic method… has evolved into an official option for the pulse skill?’
Rachiel quickly scanned the message.
[Skill-only option ?: Acupoint scanning – You can scan and understand the movement of acupuncture points flowing inside the target’s body in real time within a range of 10 meters. (Limited to living creatures / Number of targets that can be locked on: 1)]
He looked up.
Beyond the thick sail that covers this area like a blanket. A green text appeared at the top of my vision. Below it, a huge shape was visible, clearly outlined in green.
Yes, that Minotaur. Did I mention that the name that appeared on the health checkup was Urus?
“….”
Urus’s movements were all visible. Movement of muscles and joints was basic. I could even see the movement of energy and blood inside it.
What path does mana take, which acupuncture points it stays in, and where does it flow? How does the mana that flows like that work, stimulating which nerves and moving which tendons and muscles? Or how breathing works.
heart and lungs.
small intestine and large intestine.
Stomach and liver.
How is the harmony of all five organs and six parts achieved? Even how that harmony affects the body. Literally everything was clearly visible.
‘crazy. Isn’t this a scam?’
It was a moment when I had that thought.
“…nuoooook!”
The roar of Urus was heard from above. I could see blood flowing along his spinal nerves. In the depression below the spinous process of the seventh thoracic vertebra (T7) in the upper back. In human terms, the place where the Jiyang acupoint was located glowed brightly.
Light flowed like an electric current. I went through the muscle contraction of the ninth thoracic vertebra (T9). Then, in an instant, it settled into the windshield acupuncture point on the outside of my right thigh. At the same time, he raised his right leg.
‘Trample it!’
The outermost concave area where the knee and the head of the fibula meet at the top of the Urus’ fibula. The moment when the Yangneung Cheonhyeol (????) there shines brightly. I could predict where its right hoof would trample.
The angle at which the muscle moves.
The timing and location of the strike.
All of that was clearly visible even though it was not calculated.
“…Whoop!”
I rolled my body twice to the left. Immediately after that, Urus’s right hoof crushed the deck at the point where it was. The timing was just as predicted.
Tukwa i.e.-!
“….”
Now I understand. This is an option called acupuncture point scanning.
‘It’s a scam, but it’s real!’
This is real.
It is by no means an exaggeration or bravado.
‘It’s a crazy feature, isn’t it?’
Moments that are urgent enough to make you sweat. Even in that gap, admiration came out. It had to be that way. This was because the function was on a different level from the mana detection that had been done so far by applying the vague mind method.
‘I was able to sense a patient’s mana before. When treating Georges’ epilepsy and when performing surgery on Anise’s tail, I used a mysterious method. Thanks to the advanced precision diagnostic method, it was possible to detect the mana flowing in the patient’s energy and blood in real time. But what about this acupoint scanning option now? ‘It’s completely different from that.’
A vague precision diagnostic method. Acupuncture point scanning is the form it evolved from. The perceived difference between the two was enormous.
The vague precision diagnostic method could only detect subjects lying still. The detection range was barely less than 1 meter. Besides, how to use it?
‘I had to be very focused.’
I had to put everything aside and focus only on mana detection as if I were taking the college entrance exam. Only by maintaining that concentration was he able to continue detecting mana. It was quite hard work.
But now?
‘You don’t have to concentrate so much. No, since I just turned on the option, it automatically detects mana, right?’
Thanks to that, I was able to roll this way and that way. I was able to continue my detection while thinking about other things like this.
‘Plus, the range is 10 meters. Even the energy and blood of a target running wild like that can be analyzed. This is… a huge difference.’
It was literally an explosive evolution. Thanks to this, a faint spark of confidence began to ignite.
‘can do. It can be avoided. You can survive.’
Quang! Kwajajajak! Quagduck!
“Nuoooooo-!”
The hoof comes off and comes down. My fist hits the floor. Horns rush through the deck. But all those movements were predictable.
Where will it attack? Which method to use. What will the next action be like? I narrowly escaped it by looking at each and every one of them. The more it happened, the more harsh Urus’s roar became.
‘Whoo whoo! ‘Isn’t that guy… tired?’
Rachiel glanced at Urus’ heart. They said I had angina pectoris, and indeed, the movement of energy and blood in my heart seemed to be disturbed. However, since he is a strong guy by nature, he was able to hold up well even in that condition. No, he was running wild.
When I saw that, I got nervous.
‘It can’t be like this.’
Suddenly, it occurred to me that there would be no end if I just avoided it. If you think about it, it was a natural conclusion.
‘Because there are limited places to escape to here. Because there isn’t much space. Since I don’t want to jump overboard, I end up having to stay inside and avoid this guy. But… can I do that?’
It would be impossible. I was already out of breath. But who is the king of the Minotaur? It was still running wild.
‘angina pectoris? That’s right, I’m the weaker one. I’ll get tired much sooner. When your stamina is depleted like that, acupoint scanning, movement prediction, everything else will be useless.’
No matter how good you are at predicting? You must have the stamina to move your body according to the prediction. If your body spreads out and doesn’t move as you want, everything, including avoidance, becomes a disaster. Just one hit like that will be a fatal blow.
‘Life is coming to an end. That’s not allowed.’
So, I felt like I had to do something before this side ran out of stamina.
‘Oh crazy.’
The only way I can think of. The only way to do it. When I thought of that, my teeth suddenly trembled.
‘I’ve never done anything like this, not even in Korea!’
The sail crawled towards the torn gap. Meanwhile, Urus’ fist slammed into the deck twice. I rolled and avoided it in the nick of time and arrived at the gap between the sails.
I raised myself through the gap. I saw a cool night sky. Urus was also seen standing tall between them.
“…purr!”
Urus, seeing this side, let out an angry snort. But I had neither the intention nor the time to respond to that greeting. I ignored him and ran. There was a little girl there.
“Kid! “One thorn!”
I ran towards the player. I shouted to the little girl there. Did this cry reach you properly? I saw the little one crouching down and stretching its back.
“Little girl!”
Wow!
A thorn was pulled out from the guy’s back.
“Throw it here!”
“…Little girl!”
Kkosomi threw a thorn. It was quite large thanks to being extracted from its gigantic state. I quickly took it and looked at it, and it seemed to be almost 1.5 meters long.
‘Just right.’
I grabbed the middle part of the thorn. It felt like I was holding a spear. I took my remaining hand into my bosom. He took out a small disc he had in his inner pocket. It was the ice shield ice cap that I had obtained a long time ago. As soon as I took out the ice cap, I injected it with mana.
The response came immediately.
Partssss!
A chilling sound bursting from the flat center. At the same time, a white cold air like dry ice spewed out. A cold air shield with a diameter of 1.2 meters was formed in an instant.
Let’s go!
It stopped just as it was running. I turned my body 180 degrees. I faced Urus. They took a defensive stance with the ice cap in front. I aimed the giant thorn through the gap. It was like a Spartan warrior from a movie I once saw.
‘This completes preparations for basting today’s patient!’
If you keep avoiding it, there will be no answer. I would rather finish this while I still have some stamina left. I will utilize the acupuncture point scanning option. I will target his acupoints and paralyze his muscles one by one.
I raised my head with a promise. Urus were already rushing towards us.
“Purp! Nuuuuuu-!”
Kwakwakkwakwakwa-!
The appearance of lowering one’s head. Powerful with a pair of huge horns. Is this how it feels to confront a speeding dump truck head-on with its cargo bay full?
‘….’
Why am I doing this? For a moment, my legs were shaking. But soon I encouraged myself.
‘see. It’s predictable. So… it can be avoided!’
It reminded me of a Spanish matador.
Don’t be too hasty. If you get scared and avoid it in advance, the bull will easily chase you down. So at a distance where the bull can’t react. At a time when our safety is guaranteed to the minimum. In the split second when those two conditions are met.
‘…just now!’
Tadat!
The man’s movements seen through acupuncture point scanning. Predicted attack point and timing thanks to this. A blind spot was visible. I ran two steps toward the blind spot.
Whoa!
One horn passed by the side of the head with tremendous force. At that moment, I bent my back sharply. I rolled forward.
‘Geuaaah!’
Kukukuk! Thump thump!
I could feel Urus’ huge head, nape of neck, and bulging chest muscles and armpits passing like an express train right above me. The next moment, as soon as I got up, I turned around.
Quagga gagagak-!
The back of Urus was seen plowing the deck floor with its horns as if plowing a field. Doesn’t this person know that they dodged his attack? He was rushing around blindly, whipping his head around.
Thanks to you, it was visible.
The waist of the person bending down.
‘Non-blood transfusion. Lateral to the edge of the spinous process of the eleventh thoracic vertebra (T11). In other words, the line where the erector spinae muscles are located!’
The acupoint there filled my field of vision. I ran towards there. Put all your power into it. Even the breathing I had been taking from earlier was amplified.
[Activate the emission function of slot 1.]
[Set the emission amount.]
‘Everything!’
At that moment, the circle slot rotated backwards with full power.
[Releases 12 liters of air stored in the circle slot.]
Put the release power on your toes.
At that moment, he kicked the deck.
Fuuuh-!
An air bomb exploded at my toes. My whole body took off like an air rocket. The moment he lifted his body into the air, he spurred on and pulled out his thorn spear. I took aim. Non-blood transfusion is getting closer in no time. A thorn spear was thrust there like a dagger.
And… it got blocked.
Kuuk-?
“…uh?”
I clearly threw my whole body away. I put all my weight on it and stabbed it with the thorn spear. The timing was perfect. However, the thorn spear could not pierce the skin. Instead of effectively piercing the acupuncture point, it bounced off the tough cowhide without even scratching it!
“-Uh-uh?”
Tooung-!
The full force of the recoil returned to the thorn spear. Is this what happens if you run 100 meters towards a gym ball and get bounced and fly away?
“…Crunch!”
Craddangtang! Quadang!
It flew badly and crashed onto the deck. It rolled over three times. I missed the thorn spear. I was completely out of my mind.
‘Hurry quickly…’
I hurriedly got up, braving the dizziness. I stretched out my hand to grab the thorn spear. But that was then.
“…purr.”
A harsh snort was heard right above my head. At the same time, a huge shadow covered this area. I suddenly raised my head. Thanks to you, I was able to see it.
Kwaaaaaa-!
A huge fist was coming.
“…!”
prediction? Acupoint scanning? Everything was visible. But it’s too late to avoid it…
‘It’s too late!’
As soon as I realized it, I heard the ice cap. The entire front was protected by an ice cap. I crouched and jumped backwards. At that moment, I felt like I was being hit by a dump truck.
…!
A roar too.
Hitting too.
I didn’t feel anything.
‘what.’
Did I get hit? No, I think it was a defense. I got blank stares. Flakes of cold sparkle everywhere. They were shining and scattering like pretty stars in the night sky.
‘The perennial snow…’
It shattered with a single blow.
Then what about me?
What happened to me?
A piece of the ice cap moved away. The surrounding scenery moved slowly. Floating across the deck, which was all broken. I was flying. No, it was flying. The sailors look at us with astonished eyes. Damien shouts something in a half-collapsed position.
Before long, the fall was approaching quickly.
Sigh! Kwakagak-!
“…!”
I didn’t even have the strength to scream. It fell to the deck like a kite with a broken string. How many laps did you roll? What position did you end up lying in? All I could do was laugh out of my dazed mind.
‘Is there… something alive?’
I lay face down and barely looked up. My fingers were trembling. I can understand it when I see it. First of all, you are alive. This is probably because the ice caps absorbed most of the shock.
But now I feel like I’m going to die soon. My whole body hurts like it’s being crushed. No, let alone the pain.
Boom… Boom…
Heavy steps coming this way. On the other hand, an excited snort. The silhouette of the monster, who sensed victory, was getting closer. I guess he’s planning to kill me as an example.
‘So… that’s the end?’
Intense real feeling.
I got goosebumps.
My fingertips became cold.
hate. Dying in a place like this. It ends so miserably. I don’t like that. I don’t want to give up yet. So whatever. Whatever it is.
‘That’s it!’
I tried to get up. I forced my two trembling hands to move and touched the floor. My palm was stabbed by a broken piece of wood.
“Ugh!”
A sensation awakened by a searing pain. I could clearly feel each piece digging into my palm. But it wasn’t just the debris that was felt. Something caught my hand.
‘sporran?’
It was a pouch that I always carried with me. Before I knew it, one side had come loose and was torn. The contents could be seen flowing out through the tear. Things I received while summoning the phantom species. A magic seed that can increase the size of phantom species.
‘Sunflower seeds…’
Red sunflower seeds filled my field of vision. At that moment, an absurd possibility suddenly occurred to me.
‘if.’
Something I’ve never tried before.
But maybe.
Really maybe.
Wouldn’t it be possible?
“….”
Normally, I would have dismissed it as a crazy idea. I must have laughed, wondering what kind of thing he would do. But not now.
“Purp!”
Urus raises his fist above his head. Now I have no power to avoid it. Anything. Whatever it is. If you have to do it now.
Nod!
I grabbed the seed. I brought it to my mouth. I scooped it out and chewed it. I prayed earnestly. What a ridiculous possibility. Whether it’s a vain hope that can’t come true, I ask that something happen.
‘please.’
That moment.
…Whoa!
The world has become smaller.
No, the eye level of the Minotaur and this side has become similar.
