NOVPUB
A wild mesugaki.
The girl light spirit, upon seeing humans who didn’t run away despite her power, was impressed and let out a “Hehe.”
While young light spirits would rush at such humans thinking of them as valuable toys, the girl light spirit had long since graduated from playing with humans as toys.
"Do you know?"
"Light spirits are weakest when they are babies, but they become the strongest when they take a humanoid form."
From a mere insignificant creature that only shines, the girl light spirit, now able to control light skillfully on her own, was the strongest among her kind.
She was a gangster in the Spirit Realm, beating and tormenting even other humanoid spirits!
"Hehe. No fear. How absurd is it that you, a lowly species, ignore my warnings and approach me?"
Mark 2 got scared.
"Master, I no longer wish to be blinded."
[Mark 2 will watch from the bushes.]
[Master will hunt the spirit.]
Ha Eung Eung moved forward resolutely, much like a mother hunting for food to feed her young in the wild.
Mark 2’s usual bright eyes were now filled with concern as she watched Ha Eung Eung’s back.
"Concern. I cannot block the blinding light. No matter how strong Master is, she might be hurt."
This was Mark 2’s first time facing an unstoppable attack.
Naturally, she was worried.
Flash.
"Still not scared of me?"
"Do you want to face even more pain?"
Even as the blinding light shot out like a spotlight, Ha Eung Eung didn’t flinch.
Her steps remained steady and unhindered, closing the distance at the same pace.
The girl light spirit felt an instinctive pressure from Ha Eung Eung’s calmness.
The light didn’t work.
It reminded her of her weakness back when she was a baby light spirit.
A strange human who made her recall her own powerlessness.
A presence that reminded her of her natural predator.
The agonizing time spent as the weakest spirit in the realm.
All of these things stirred the girl light spirit’s temper.
She was different now.
She had become stronger.
To confirm that fact, she slammed her fist into the surface of the water.
Pyaaatt
Light waves emanated from the glowing fist, engulfing the entire lake.
Thud thud thud.
The number of water spirits fainting from the intense power wave was several times greater than before.
Even water spirits who had hidden deep in the lake fainted from the immense force.
The owner of the lake, unable to bear it, revealed his presence.
Bogrururu
Bubbles rose from the lake.
A telepathic message spread from the popping bubbles.
"Stop. I was wrong. I won’t bother the light spirits passing over the lake with water cannons again."
It was ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) the telepathy of a girl-shaped water spirit, the water girl spirit.
"I won’t kidnap weak baby spirits in bubbles anymore. We won’t bother you anymore, so just leave us be. Here, we’re letting go of the spirits we kidnapped, take them all back."
Even Ha Eung Eung could see that the light spirits and the water spirits were equally malicious.
"So you were doing things like this? Amazing. Just as expected from the sleazy water spirits. The things you do are so underhanded."
"Hehe. I was just going to tease you a bit, but I guess I have to punish you more later."
By now, Ha Eung Eung had arrived in front of the lakeshore.
The girl light spirit extended her fingers towards her and stuck out her tongue, taunting her.
"You, a mere human, have courage, but this is the water, right?"
"Hehe. How do you plan to cross when you can’t even levitate?"
The water. For most weak regular players, there’s no solution.
If they had diving or swimming skills, maybe they’d have a chance, but skills for walking on water are extremely rare.
But for martial artists, crossing water wasn’t an insurmountable obstacle.
‘I don’t need to summon the clouds.’
Flying Technique
Ascending Technique
Stepping on Water
This martial art, which originated from stepping on water pillars and crossing water, had evolved over generations into a true method of walking on water.
While the difficulty was lower compared to stepping on air, as water was a medium, it required constant energy control and the technique of spreading energy on the surface of the water.
‘The technique used by the common martial artists who specialize in stepping on water focused on speed, where one foot quickly steps before the other one sinks.’
The Silent Swordsman, however, was using a completely different technique, one that wasn’t rushed like the martial artists’ techniques.
Her pace remained steady, neither fast nor slow, as she walked on the water, as if walking on solid ground.
In the chat, they were even looking for Jesus due to the shocking scene of walking on water.
The girl light spirit was stunned by the unbelievable sight.
"Don’t come! What are you?! Humans can’t walk on water!"
"That’s not a human!"
Despite the terrified scream, Ha Eung Eung didn’t stop.
The girl light spirit extended her shining fist towards her.
"I told you not to come!"
Pyaaatt Pyaaahhh
The powerful shockwave of light surrounded Ha Eung Eung.
The wave, which passed through the lake and reached the forest, caused trees to fall and bushes to flatten.
Despite the fierce wave, Ha Eung Eung’s steps never slowed.
Her protection barrier, covering a radius of 3 meters, had no gaps.
Stumbling backward, the girl light spirit, frightened, tried to fly away, but Ha Eung Eung’s sword energy shot out like a net, entangling her.
‘This is how I trapped Mark 2.’
Using even the smallest daily experience, Ha Eung Eung reproduced it at a different level through martial arts.
This net of sword energy, born from the depths of her martial arts, trapped the girl light spirit.
Splash.
Splash splash.
The girl light spirit’s face poked out from the net, sinking and rising again, struggling.
Dragged to the shore, the girl light spirit glared with eyes brighter than her body, shooting out light every time she flared up.
Every time her light touched the net, she screamed in pain.
Eventually, she cried out, begging for mercy.
"I hate it! It hurts too much! Please let me go!"
Whether or not Ha Eung Eung responded, she continued dragging the net toward Mark 2, who was hiding in the bushes.
[How about it? Can you do it too?]
"Like this? Is this what you do?" 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪
Mark 2 tried to form a mana net like Ha Eung Eung’s, but unlike Ha Eung Eung’s, hers quickly broke or collapsed.
Still, after repeating it a few times, it started to look passably close to the real thing.
[Now, try using it in practice, as you learned.]
Ha Eung Eung released the spirit from the net.
The girl light spirit, having stopped crying, looked up.
"Are you letting me go?"
"Fool. It’s practice for hunting."
Gyaaahhh!
With a sharp scream, the girl light spirit was once again trapped in the mana net.
‘The Spirit King can wait until later. For now, Ha Eung Eung’s training mode is on.’
