  Chapter-23

  —--------------

  [ You can't leave until time runs out you can only rely on your ability to survive until the time is over ]

  So it means I came to rely only on myself after using stone risks but I am guessing the more the danger the greater the growth

  [ Yes ]

  *sigh* let's keep this for now after giving back the stone to the system to keep it for now

  At least I need to make an excuse that will sound enough reason to make him believe

  I guess I just need to take time and find the correct opportunity to slip away

  …..

  For the upcoming few days, I simply followed my regur schedule but I triple the number of exercises I usually do

  Because if I am really going to use that stone then I want to be prepared as much as possible since I rely on myself

  "General?" Jinwoo asked while directly looking into my eyes even with his stoic face but the confusion in his eyes can't be hidden from me

  I nodded my head as I speak "Yes since I already used to beat that previous shadow I want to fight more strong opponent"

  "Alright but which one?"

  That was easy I thought it will take more to convince him but it's good for me anyway

  I know he has three generals which he already told me about but the one I want most to fight

  After taking a deep breath I speak with determination "I want to go against 'beru'"

  If I want to become stronger then I have to face my fear and that thing is one of them even though I know I can't beat him yet but still, I want to face him again and again until I beat it

  He nodded his head as that 'thing' emerged from his Shadow

  "Beru go easy on her," Jinwoo said while looking directly at Beru's eyes

  Even though I want to refute what he said but my instincts screaming if that 'thing' wants then he can kill me at any time

  "as you wished my Leigh," Beru said in a deep voice as he bowed to him

  His deep voice is terrifying making me tremble his eyes are glowing purple his whole body looks terrifying

  *Gulp*

  Even though I am still scared but I am still standing on my feet which is a good improvement

  Now I get to take a good look at him he is much taller than jinwoo himself but still he is showing great respect towards jinwoo

  His whole radiating energy gave my body goosebumps my instincts still screaming to run away but still, I can control my body and move it unlike the st time

  "You can attack however you like" Jinwoo said as he takes some distance from us

  I am going all out for a starter, I think it's best to avoid close combat because I don't want to ssh by his cws which look sharper than any sword I have ever seen

  I created the Ice shards in mid-air and shoot towards him

  I look at Beru to see his counter but he is not moving like he doesn't care about my attack

  I thought he is literally underestimating me but something unexpected happened which instantly change my mind

  When my Ice shard hits him ice shards break into pieces… it can't even break his shell-type skin

  These ice shards are much stronger, thinner as well as much faster than the ice shards I used against jinwoo 5 months back even though I know these will be useless against him but still at least these should some effect on him

  If these are working how about this I put my hands on the ground as I concentrate my demonic energy.

  As sensing my next move he fp his insect-like wings which are also very big as he takes off the ground to mid-air At unimaginable speed in the next second countless ice spikes emerged from the ground he was standing

  But I already predicted that as the ice spikes continues to emerge until they started to unch like missiles towards him at high speed in multiple directions

  This time he can't escape as he sensing he there is no escape

  He takes his big cws and as he started to cut all the ice missiles with ease while he flew around the hall at an unimaginable speed

  But it doesn't matter during these whole 5 months, my control over demonic energy is significantly increased

  Also, I learned from my spar with Jin 5 months back so I upgraded my spell these ice missiles will track the enemy and follow it until it hits the target

  The downside of this spell is this costs more than half of my demonic energy as well as takes my whole concentration so when I am using this spell than I am in a completely venerable state but all that is worth it

  When he tried to ssh towards my flying ice spikes but when his cws were about to ssh the spike spikes exploded making a mist

  'Perfect' till now my whole pn

  is going perfectly now I take out my wings

  As I took off from the ground directly towards him at a very high speed

  While I make an ice sword in right-hand while

  ice spear in my left hand

  And sshed towards him meanwhile he uses his sharp cws towards to sword to cut it

  But instead to cut my sword and his cws cshed with each other unlike before his cws now cover in ice making his cws become dull

  'Yes, it's working!' I inwardly excimed as my pn was working previously when my ice spikes exploded they were converted into countless small ice particles nding on him

  Not only on his cws which makes his cws dull but also on his wing making his wings heavy so that his flying speed will also drastically decrease
