It was a technique that instantly boosted his body speed.
He took a back step with terrific swiftness.
The greatsword passed by him.
Boom!
A gigantic explosion occurred right in front of him.
Ruslan couldnât understand what was happening.
Updated from lightnovelpub[.]com
âWhat kind of nonsense is thisâŠ?â
The greatsword didnât even hit the floor or anything for that matter.
If it were just nonsensical swings, Ruslan would have fought back at the gap.
His opponent missed, but the offensiveâs aftermath was so intense that it created a shock wave.
The Blade Aura of the greatswordâs wielder was beyond what could be called powerful.
Zoom!
With the air still rumbling, Ryu Han-bin lifted the red-coated blade again.
He stared at Ruslan, his eyes calm yet filled with fury.
âThatâs an amazing spell. Do you think Aura has a skill like that?â

Taking another stance, Ruslan broke out in a cold sweat.
His heartbeat felt like it was going to rip his chest open, and his whole body was as cold as if he fell into the depths of the seas in the middle of winter.
âI never wouldâve thought heâs that powerfulâŠâ
He didnât think Han-bin would be weak.
The Goddess chose Han-bin, and his appearance was far from feeble.
But Ruslan was a level 85 Magic Swordsman.
Powerful people above level 80 were still relatively rare in the cities of the Four Prohibited Areas.
Before being trapped in Akhtarun, Great Earthâs level 85 members were enough to be in the top ranks.
âI wondered how he would fare against a guy like meâŠâ

As soon as Han-bin swung his sword, his illusion was shattered like glass.
Every time their blades clashed, shockwaves would rip through him as if boulders had hit him.
His simple punches could match the might of weapons, and even his kicks had enough to decapitate.
The power of his basic skills was already far beyond his league.
âHe isnât even using his full power.â
He didnât do any particularly grand swordsmanship techniques.
Instead of rushing in, he calmly swung his sword and shorted the distance between them.
He nonchalantly controlled Ruslanâs movements by taking the initiative.
It was proof that he had a lot of experience in combat.

Ruslan gritted his teeth.
âYouâre so big, but youâre fighting like this!â
If only Han-bin ignorantly wielded his sword due to his great power, Ruslan could find a gap to utilize in his movements, but the seemingly colossal man fought like a clever fox.
âArgh! Argh!â
The red blade Aura continued to tear through the atmosphere.
With each simple swing, wild winds blew, and debris flew.
âArgh! Argh!â
The bloodstained Ruslan screamed.
âDamn it! Youâre going to kill me!â

Ryu Han-bin smiled as he continued to pressure the Earthling in front of him.
âEffir is amazing at teaching people.â
Originally, his style wasnât like that.
When confronting a giant dog during his days at the Rocky Mountain, he fought with all his might to dish out his maximum destructive power.
However, his combat style was different in interpersonal competitions.
His interpersonal style in those fights was based on Maxbrid.
And it was the genius Wyvern girl, Effir, who interpreted the Maxbrid teachings and passed it on to Ryu Han-bin.
Usually, gigantic people like Ryu Han-bin would often utilize their size to stand tall on the battlefield like a steel tower while maintaining his center of gravity.

On the other hand, small and sleek warriors like Effir were bound to fight like butterflies using acrobatic movements and high agility.
But Han-bin fought using Effirâs style.
How confusing would it be to see a huge iron tower fluttering around like a butterfly?
Furthermore, the ensuing aftermath of his assaults was no joke.
It was normal for a steel tower to be accompanied by a combination of cyclones and thunderstorms.
Zoom! Boom!
âAhhhhh!â
Ruslan managed to weave away from the attackâs range.
-Magic Swordsmanship: Net of Heat Waves!
Follow current novels on lightnovelpub[.]com
He swiftly activated another technique.
Dozens of flames crisscrossed to form a net fell over the head of Ryu Han-bin.
Han-bin lifted his sword indifferently.
Bam!
The fiery net was torn apart and scattered.
However, it was enough to remove the pressure on Ruslan.
âOh, my God!â
Managing to get away from Han-binâs oppression, Ruslan immediately put as much distance as possible in between them.
He then cast a series of techniques.
Updated from lightnovelpub[.]com
-Magic Swordsmanship: Horn of the Storm Dragon!
-Magic Swordsmanship: Wailing of Steel Souls!
The air condensed and flew in the form of a spear, followed by dozens of flying daggers.
All the gliding weapons were all made out of Force.
Ryu Han-binâs eyebrow rose.
âYouâre going to give up fighting close-range to fight in the distance instead?â
Han-bin knew Ruslan would result to that tactic.
All the people who fought with him had been like that.
He had no choice but to rush in and close the distance in the past, but the present Ryu Han-bin had awakened Aura.

He didnât have to go after Ruslan hard.
Gripping his sword, Han-bin focused on his left hand.
A brilliant red sphere rose above the center of his palm.
He had created an Aura Bullet with formidable destructive power.
-Aura Strike!
â⊠Itâs called an Aura Bullet, and it can only be a real Aura Strike when it leaves the palm of my hand and flies towards my target.â
Han-bin had not yet mastered it.
But it didnât matter.
Like the stones that he had thrown countless times, he grabbed and threw the sphere at Ruslan.

The red sphere broke through all the magic spells like a comet, leaving a trail of light, yet it still retained its power as it burst forth towards Ruslan.
âHuh!â
Frustrated, Ruslan propelled himself away.
Boom boom!
Han-bin shrugged.
âCan you avoid it at your level?â
The movement of a personâs arm swing was too wide.
It was clear where he was aiming for.
Its orbit was easily predictable.

âItâs not like I can throw a knuckleball like a baseball player.â
Aura was not affected by fluid mechanics like a baseball, so it wouldnât mean much if he knew how to throw.
âIâm going to fight the way Effir taught me.â
After forming another Aura Bullet, Ryu Han-bin flung himself forward.
With his black greatsword tightly held in his right hand, he aimed at the opponent with his left handâs Aura Bullet.
âGasp!â
Ruslan fled again in fear.
But Han-bin did not throw the Aura Bullet.
âHoot!â
The source of this content is lightnovelpub[.]com
He kept it in his left hand as he swung barrages of blade Aura using his right hand.
Ruslan gritted his teeth and blocked the attacks.
As soon as Ruslan was about to fall back, Han-bin pretended to throw it again!
âHuh?â
Scared, Ruslan retreated in the direction of the blade.
He came within the range of Ryu Han-bin himself.
âItâs working.â
With a smile, Han-bin continued to tease his opponent.
He used Blade Aura as he pressed on calmly. If the opponent tried to move away, he only needed to point the Aura Bullet in his left hand.
The source of this content is lightnovelpub[.]com
That alone prevented the opponentâs escape.
âYou, you!â
After noticing Han-binâs intentions, Ruslan changed his response.
Ruslan intentionally ignored the Aura bullets, avoided the Blade Auras, and kept his distance.
Unless he were a fool, it wouldnât work.
âI donât care.â
Breaking it into pieces, Ryu Han-bin threw away the Aura Bullet in his left hand.
Boom!
âArgh!â
New novel chapters are published on lightnovelpub[.]com
That time, Ruslan was hit accurately.
Spitting out blood, Ruslan entered the road range.
As if he had predicted it, Ryu Han-bin already had another attack prepared.
Boom!
Ruslanâs expression was twisted like a demon.
He could see what Han-bin was thinking.
âYou son of aâŠâ
It was possible because Ryu Han-binâs skills were far higher than Ruslanâs.
On the other hand, there was no way for Ruslan to respond.

Ryu Han-bin kept moving.
He just threw the sphere!
Boom!
And he kept swinging his sword!
âUgh!â
Han-bin then pretended to throw the Aura bullet again!
âHuh?â
He quickly followed it with a Blade Aura!
âAhhhhhh!â

Ruslan became very angry.
Han-bin was toying with him.
At that rate, the result was obvious.
âDo you think I am a fool?â
Since falling into that world, Ruslan had gained numerous combat experiences.
He immediately came up with a plan.
He didnât need to avoid the Aura Strike!
-Magic Swordsmanship: Steel Citadel!
He formed a grey barrier made out of Force to block Ryu Han-binâs Aura Bullet.

Boom!
âI can stop your Aura Bullet!â
âReally?â
Han-bin waved his left hand twice.
âThen what about this?â
Two Aura Bullets were formed and floated up.
Ruslanâs complexion turned pale.
âHow is that possible?â
Han-bin threw two Aura Bullets in a row.
Visit lightnovelpub[.]com for the best novel reading experience
Ruslanâs magic once again formed a barrier to prevent it.
Boom!
âYouâre blocking two.â
Then he conjured three.
âW-wellâŠâ
Without space to even speak, Ruslan activated his technique with all his might.
-Magic Swordsmanship: Steel Citadel!
If he moved to avoid them at that point, but he would only fall into Han-binâs prior trap.
Ruslan should show that he could prevent them even if he overdid it.
Updated from lightnovelpub[.]com
Only then could he take the lead.
âTaaaah!â
Ruslan pulled up the Force with all his might.
Three Aura Bullets beat the magic barrier.
Boom!
Explosions went off one after another.
Smoke rose across the battlefield.
After a while, there was a gasping image of Ruslan.
He looked to be struggling to stay conscious.

âHahaha, what do you think? I stoppedâŠâ
âThen, four.â
Four Aura Bullets split the air.
A magnificent explosion covered Ruslanâs vision.
ââŠoh, shitâŠâ
Boom!
* * *
With the explosion, Ruslan fluttered into the air.
It wasnât a normal sight to see Ruslanâs limbs floundering around like a paper doll.
Updated from lightnovelpub[.]com
Maxwell and Grace stuttered in fright.
âWhat?â
âRuslan?â
After a while, Ruslan fell to the ground.
No, that wasnât the right expression.
Ruslan didnât fall.
When he flew, he was wearing bloodied rags, but only his clothes fell onto the ground.
Ruslan himself had disappeared.
What that meant was clear.

âIs he dead?â
Not only the Earthlings, but Kibie blinked as well.
âOh, my God, was Han-bin that strong?â
So far, she only believed in the Sword King Baotolt.
Han-binâs group was just a facilitator of the journey to meet Baotolt.
But that made her change her mind.
âWell, maybe heâll catch up with the Top Three.â
On the other hand, Artis and Effir were not surprised.
Han-bin had already killed the level 85 Blood Circer Queen.
Visit lightnovelpub[.]com for the best novel reading experience
He wouldnât lose against someone on the same level.
So she shouted as if she had been waiting.
âMr. Felard! Now help this side, too!â
At Effirâs cry, Han-bin immediately kicked the ground.
âI know!â
The large warrior was charging forth like a red storm.
In contemplation, Maxwell and Grace looked at each other.
Their opinions were in agreement.
âLetâs run!â
Ruslan, who was on par with them, died in vain after being beaten like a dog the entire fight.
Even if the remaining duo worked together, there was little chance of winning.
Maxwell quickly fell back under a spell.
âWind Step!â
Grace also hurriedly spread her translucent wings by casting a Spirit art.
âPreleuâs hem, let me soar!â
The two Earthlings began to run in opposite directions.
At that moment, Ryu Han-bin was torn.
âWho should I go for?â
He couldnât miss them like that.
There was too much information to dig up.
At that time, Artisâ communication magic entered his mind.
-Catch the Mage first! Weâll catch the Spiritist!
