I Lost My Memory and Had Too Many S-Class Girlfriends

221 – ??? vs. Seongcheonnyeo (4)

10th place Hunter Lee Ji-hyun.

Choi Seo-yoon, the eldest daughter of Ilseong Group.

Kang Hwa-ryeon, successor to Heuksando.

Martial artist Ryu Ye-rin of the Seong family.

These four people are hunters representing the Republic of Korea.

There is no denying the fact that he is clearly a strong player.

But, excluding Jihyun, at best they are high rankers.

Even in the nationalistic media, they never rate him as a top ranker.

In fact, I can easily defeat Seoyoon, Hwaryeon, and Yerin by myself.

To be honest, I can’t say it’s a great force.

But the story changes when Seo-yoon starts using her telepathy ability 100%.

Seo Yoon’s telepathy ability is so powerful that I dare say it’s one of the best in the world.

Seo Yoon-i, who has fully utilized her telepathy and freezing abilities, can display potential greater than Ji-hyeon.

Reading the emotions and thoughts of the opponent and instantly granting telepathy to allies, incapacitating enemies through large-scale mental contamination, creating a telepathy network to enable real-time radio communication between allies, etc…

The ways in which it can be used are truly endless.

If Seoyoon really focuses on supporting Yerin, Hwaryeon, and Jihyun, they will also bring out strength that is incomparable to usual.

In the case of Yerin and Hwaryeon, depending on the situation, they may show power that surpasses that of top rankers.

In that sense, Seo Yoon’s support through her telepathic ability has the potential to seize the opportunity to win against even the strongest enemy.

I also don’t have the confidence to face Yerin and Hwaryeon alone, who received support from Seoyoon.

however…….

“Ugh!”

“Good swordsmanship, Yerin. I envy your talent for achieving this level at the age of early twenties.”

“You’ve been chattering nonsense since a while ago!”

“Oh, you don’t have to be embarrassed.”

“Does this look embarrassing?!”

I’m playing with Yerin halfway.

Yerin swung her sword vigorously, but Edelin simply dodged Yerin’s sword strikes with a relaxed expression, like a kind older sister playing with her younger sister.

It’s almost touching, but it’s not.

Repeatedly avoiding Yerin’s attacks by just a sheet of paper.

Even I tend to keep my distance when I get up close to Yerin, but Edelin seems to be enjoying it and digs in deeper, having fun.

“Tch! Looks like you use telepathy too!”

“Haha. That can’t be true, Yerin. Even if I tried to use my telepathy to read your thoughts, there’s Seoyoon, right?”

Certainly, as long as Seo-yoon is there, Edelin’s mental infection will not work.

To that extent, I dare say that Seo Yoon’s telepathy ability is unrivaled in that field.

“You don’t have to think too hard about it. Just watch and avoid it. I know a lot about Yerin’s habits, mannerisms, weaknesses, etc..”

The information and experience gained through numerous regressions is what made the difference today.

Experience is truly the best teacher.

“Do you know how long I’ve been with Yerin? I’ve learned a lot thanks to you, especially… … .”

“Hey! Ryu Ye-rin! Get out of here!”

“Oh my? You’re fast, Hwaryeon.”

It was truly a moment of ignorance.

Hwaryeon, who had made full use of her physical strengthening ability to jump at super high speed, punched Edelin in the temple.

Before she could even blink, it was right in front of Edeline’s nose.

In common parlance, it is a one-hit, one-kill punch.

A single blow that can silence even monsters.

If it were to hit, it was clear that the human body would be torn apart into pieces. It was beyond the level that human fat and bones could endure.

“Hmm~.”

However, Edelin stretches out her left hand as if nothing happened and grabs Hwa-ryeon’s wrist.

The moment he grabbed her wrist, a gust of wind blew, but Edelin remained calm.

“It’s stronger than I thought. But I can also use my physical strengthening ability.”

“!”

Hwaryeon tried to regain her composure and follow up with a strike, but Edelin smiled brightly and used the magic of Geongon Daenai to deflect Hwaryeon’s attack.

And then he places his right hand on Hwa-ryeon’s chest.

“It’s going to hurt a little.”

pop!

“Huh?!”

“Sister?!”

It was a kind of internal strife.

It wasn’t Hwaryeon’s sturdy outer shell that was hit, but rather her internal organs.

It seemed like a light tap, but it was a powerful blow to the heart that had so much force that Hwa-ryeon had no choice but to step back, spitting out blood.

“You’re holding up? As expected from Hwaryeon.”

“Ha, uh, kuluck.”

“But no matter how strong Hwaryeon is, if you hit her joints or brain, she will be incapacitated… … .”

“Yerin! Bring Hwaryeon!”

Edelin immediately tried to attack Hwaryeon’s temples and joints, but ended up in vain due to the ice pillars rising up in front of her and the telekinesis trying to crush her body.

While Jihyun and Seoyoon were attacking Edelin, Yerin quickly ran and hugged Hwaryeon.

And then he ran towards me with Hwa-ryeon.

“Ah, extreme. Knock knock, knock. Phew… … .”

“Huh, are you okay, Hwaryeon?”

“Ah, phew. No problem, Colok, no problem.”

“It’s not convincing even if you say it while bleeding like that… … .”

“Okay, just focus on the fight. This will get better if you just drink some potion.”

Hwa-ryeon spat out blood with a “Pfft”.

I immediately gulped down a single sip of the healing water.

He quickly wipes away the drop of blood flowing down between his lips and chews on a piece of candy. Snap, snap.

… … As expected, you’re tough, Hwaryeon.

“How many abilities does that girl have?”

Hwaryeon muttered to herself.

They know.

That Edelin has numerous supernatural abilities.

However, the downside is that only one can be used at a time.

This was a clear weakness, but considering the speed at which he has switched between abilities so far, it would be difficult to exploit the gap.

“Haha. Should I say this is the result of hard work?”

Despite being watched from afar by Jihyun and Seoyoon, Edelin looked at Hwalyeon with a relaxed expression and answered.

What, did I hear Hwa-ryeon’s monologue from over there?

It seems that he has used his physical strengthening ability to enhance his hearing.

“Aww… … By the way, why don’t you give me feedback through telepathy, Seo-yoon? Is it because you’re not feeling well?”

“Ah. I’m sorry… … .”

Seoyoon, who had retreated to where we were, glanced at Yerin and answered.

“… … Actually, I’ve been using my telepathy ability for a while now, but it’s not working very well.”

“yes?”

While Yerin blinked her eyes and had a question mark floating above her head, Edelin raised her left hand and tapped her bracelet with her index finger.

Their eyes were fixed on the bracelet.

“This bracelet is a treasure called the Bracelet of Hope. It has a very strong resistance to mental contamination. Its performance is much better than that of Lord Camelot.”

“under.”

“Also, this cape resists telekinesis… … This necklace resists freezing… … And this ring… … .”

“What a walking treasure trove.”

Jihyun looked at Edelin with a dumbfounded expression.

Edeline chuckles.

“I didn’t rush to conquer the tower for no reason. The number of levels that our Seongcheon Sect has conquered is over a dozen. How many treasures do you think we’ll unearth there?”

“… … .”

When fighting me, I hardly ever used my Noble Phantasm.

Was it because he was confident that he could defeat someone like me without the help of his treasure? Or was it because he was trying to hide the identity of his treasure and minimize his consumption?

Whatever the reason, it was a situation where nothing good could come of it.

Because Edelin’s only weakness could be compensated for by using multiple Noble Phantasms.

“But Seo-yoon, aren’t you going too far? Using not only your telepathy ability, but also your freezing ability.”

“… … .”

“You look like you’re going to die at any moment. Why don’t you rest for a bit?”

“… … .”

Seoyoon did not even have the energy to respond, so she remained silent and threatened Edelin with numerous ice picks, but Edelin, like Seoyoon, used her freezing ability to intercept all of the attacks.

It was a reddish, spike-shaped ice. It was faster and stronger than Seoyoon’s ice. It pierced through the ice and attacked Seoyoon. Its freezing proficiency was no less than Seoyoon’s. No, it was even higher.

Papa pat! Papa pat!

Dozens and hundreds of ice picks threaten Seoyoon.

Seoyoon tried to block the ice pick using her freezing ability, but her nose started bleeding and she lost her balance.

Of all things, the harm caused by telepathy is happening now… … .

“Huh. Seo-yoon, step back.”

Jihyun immediately stepped forward.

She waved her hand as if it were nothing.

Then, dozens and hundreds of ice picks stopped in midair.

“Let me try it once… huh?”

“It’s no use.”

Jihyun tried to use the ice pick in reverse to hit Edelin, but contrary to Jihyun’s intention, the ice pick did not move properly in the air.

“you?”

“Telekinesis is quite convenient, isn’t it?”

How many times must he have repeated regression to become as skilled as them in freezing, psychokinesis, physicality, and abilities?

He is responding to Hwa-ryeon with his physical abilities, to Seo-yoon with his freezing abilities, and to Ji-hyeon with his telekinesis.

… … This is a really absurd situation.

“Ha. That’s interesting. You want to have a telekinesis contest with me?”

“No~. I can’t possibly keep up with telekinesis. I can at least interfere, but wouldn’t it be better to use another ability?”

“Huh. The regressor isn’t that great either.”

“Don’t be like that. No matter how many times I regress, it’s a waste of time to catch up with Jihyun’s telekinesis… … Huh?”

Edeline interrupted.

Because Yerin sneaked up and swung her sword.

“Yerin, you shouldn’t interrupt like this when someone is talking, right?”

“It’s noisy!”

Hwaryeon immediately clung to me.

“Choi Seo-yoon! Support!”

“Oh, yes!”

Backup for Yerin, Hwaryeon, and Seoyoon.

“… … .”

Jihyun stared at the scene for a moment, then took out several guns from her subspace pocket.

Pistols, shotguns, machine guns, submachine guns, sniper rifles, rifles… … .

‘They’re all devil guns.’

A magic gun for great power users and great monsters.

This is Jihyun’s main equipment that she uses when she’s giving it her all.

As I slowly developed my telekinesis, the magic guns began to rise. The magic guns that rose up slowly turned their muzzles toward Edelin. More than a dozen magic guns were aiming at Edelin. They were like swords. Numerous guns next to Jihyun were revealing ominous auras.

“Oh, Jihyun. That’s cool. Are you going to try it for real now?”

“Incendiary bombs, freeze bombs, poison bombs, armor-piercing bombs, lightning bombs, pulse bombs… … We’ve prepared various types, so try them all out. Do you know how much each of these costs?”

Edelin gave a brief exclamation and then raised her hand.

“By the way, have you forgotten? That I can also use telekinesis?”

“Why? Try to take control? Try to. But do you have time to take my gun?”

“hmm…….”

It’s not a one-on-one situation.

Because Edelin is definitely being bullied.

If it had been a one-on-one situation, it would have been different, but it would not have been possible to leisurely take control of the gun while being attacked by Yerin, Hwaryeon, and Seoyoon.

Besides, can’t Edelin only use one ability at a time?

“It’s definitely a bit annoying when several people rush at me.”

They fought Edelin with all their might.

Unlike before, I gave it my all without sparing my body.

Then, Edeline also started to get hurt little by little.

Even if she was Edelin, it was nearly impossible to completely block their combined attack while using up a lot of stamina and abilities.

If I were Adelin, I would have been defeated in less than a few minutes.

But who is Edelin?

Wasn’t this a monster that had regressed countless times before?

No matter how hard they combine their attacks, it will be difficult to defeat Edelin.

‘… … Phew, my body is still in terrible condition.’

I let out a deep sigh in my heart.

The reason I’ve been watching their fights up until now is because I wanted to recover my abilities and stamina a little. I wanted to get involved several times whenever they were in danger, but I held back. I thought that if I got involved now, it would only be a nuisance.

I carefully checked my physical condition.

I was almost exhausted, but thanks to them buying me time, I was able to recover a little.

How many times would I be able to use my powers now?

‘It’s impossible to fight head-on with this body. I have to look for an opening.’

Edelin was on guard against me throughout the fight with them, but if they kept pressuring me, there would definitely be a small opening.

I had to take advantage of that gap.

Even if she’s Edelin, she can’t stay on alert and tense for tens of minutes.

‘But if there are no gaps… … .’

Well then, there’s nothing we can do.

If there are no gaps, you have no choice but to create gaps.

***

About ten minutes had passed.

“Is this it?”

Edeline licked her lips, wiping a drop of sweat away.

He looked quite tired, but compared to them, he looked quite fine.

“I didn’t know you could last this long. You’ve worked hard.”

“Haa, haa, hak. Who, as they please, in the end… …!”

“You seem quite tired for something like that, Yerin?”

“Ugh, ugh, phew.”

Yerin was out of breath.

I felt like I was almost out of energy.

Yerin’s trembling legs and half-closed eyelids explained the state of her body.

It was worth it.

Looking back, Yerin has been running nonstop to get here.

I fought Britannia and chased her to the top of the tower, where I fought Edelin.

It was a situation where I couldn’t help but lose all my stamina.

And it’s the same for the others.

Hwaryeon simply wiped the blood flowing from the corner of her mouth and glared at Edelin harshly.

He was quietly catching his breath and recovering his strength, but his condition looked quite poor.

Seoyoon was half-collapsed, her nose bleeding profusely.

Along with the mental contamination, the physical exhaustion was so severe that it seemed difficult to endure any longer.

In Jihyun’s case, she looked somewhat better, but it couldn’t be said that her condition was good.

It seemed like I used up more of my superpowers than I had imagined in my fight with Charlotte.

“Then shall we wrap things up soon?”

Edelin raised her sharp mace and approached Yerin.

Yerin tried to control her trembling right arm and swung her sword with all her might.

However, it was not enough to block Edelin’s mace with a half-exhausted strike.

After swinging her sword a few times, Yerin finally dropped her sword and rolled around on the ground.

“Damn it! Ryu Ye-rin!”

“Please stop interrupting me, Hwaryeon.”

Hwaryeon bit her lip and quickly intervened, but Edelin kicked Hwaryeon hard in the stomach as if she was annoyed.

“Ugh, ugh, ugh!”

Hwaryeon spat out a handful of blood and rolled for several dozen meters.

Soon it was slammed into the wall.

With a loud thud, the wall came crashing down.

Considering Hwaryeon’s physical abilities, she probably won’t die, but it will be difficult for her to move any further.

Edelin looked at the wall where Hwa-ryeon was stuck, then moved her head slightly to dodge the psychic attack. Edelin turned her head toward Ji-hyeon. Ji-hyeon was intermittently heaving her chest and panting.

“Jihyun, you too. You must have run out of toys now, so how long are you going to bother me like this?”

“shut up.”

Jihyun’s dozens of guns were smashed to pieces and their original shapes were difficult to recognize.

At this point, with her telekinesis powers almost completely depleted, there wasn’t much Jihyun could do.

“Same goes for Seo-yoon. You can’t use your freezing ability anymore, right?”

“… … .”

Seoyoon looked at Edelin with half-dazed eyes, her nose bleeding profusely, and did not respond at all.

He already seemed half-mad due to mental contamination.

“Okay, then let’s wrap it up.”

“you……!”

Jihyun tried to help Yerin in some way, but it was no use.

It was because Edelin used her telekinesis to throw Jihyun far away.

Although Ji-Hyeon was able to prevent serious injuries by wrapping her body around her telekinesis, her brain seemed to be shaken and she staggered around, unable to move properly.

“Ji, Jihyun unnie… … .”

“Isn’t this the time to be worrying about others?”

Before she knew it, Edelin had reached right in front of Yerin’s nose.

Yerin moved her head, holding her broken left arm and broken ribs. Edelin’s face was reflected in Yerin’s eyes. Edelin’s face was covered in shadows. She was smiling. Brightly.

“then.”

Adeline slowly raised her mace.

Yerin just bit her lips hard and shut her eyes tightly.

“Goodbye, Yerin.”

Fuck.

There is no time to hesitate any longer.

It’s either all or nothing.

At best, what more can you do than die?

I can’t take advantage of Edeline’s weaknesses.

Because there are no gaps.

But it doesn’t matter.

If there are no gaps, why don’t you just make it?

“Edelin!”

As I was about to swing my mace to finish off Yerin, I used my teleportation ability to get between Edelin and Yerin.

“Ah. I was wondering when you’d intervene, Seojun.”

If you say it’s as expected, should I say it’s as expected?

Edelin reacted as if she had naturally expected me to intervene.

No. Rather, he may have been deliberately making a fuss so that I would interfere.

Edelin laughed and swung her mace with all her might towards me and Yerin without stopping.

“But what can Seojun do now?”

I know that too.

That there’s nothing I can do right now.

“Sir!”

Ignoring Yerin’s screams, I met Edelin’s eyes.

Edeline was smiling faintly as always.

A smile that can only be made because one is overwhelmingly strong.

It was a sense of composure that came from the confidence that I could handle anything I did. Yes, that would be right. Even those who gave their all were defeated by Edelin. Even I, who had used up almost all of my powers, wouldn’t pose much of a threat.

So I decided to take a gamble.

Because this is the only thing I can think of right now.

“So, what do you plan to do?”

Edeline smiles.

The mace is getting closer.

Edeline blinks.

The mace comes within arm’s reach.

Edeline’s eyebrows twitch.

The mace is really coming right up to your nose.

“for a moment……?”

For a moment, a look of bewilderment flashed across Edelin’s eyes.

Because I was just watching the mace rush in without doing anything.

The reason Edelin was able to swing her mace with all her might at me and Yerin was because she thought I would use my power to block the mace or take Yerin with me to escape.

But I did nothing.

nothing.

Even though it was clear that I would most likely die if I was hit by the mace without protecting myself with my supernatural power, I chose to be hit by the mace.

That’s why Edelin tried to stop Mace belatedly with a very embarrassed expression on her face.

Thanks to that, the powerful abilities and powers that had been stored in the mace were considerably reduced, but the inertia and physical energy could not be completely reduced.

It would be nearly impossible to stop Mace, who has already accelerated for quite some time, right in front of your nose.

Kwajik!

My watch went dark for a moment with the sound of my skull half caved in.

“Wait a minute, Seojun, sir… … ?”

“Teacher?! Oh, no!”

It was only for a moment, but I felt like I lost consciousness.

The view ahead is blurry and I can’t see very well.

I thought he was going to die all of a sudden, but luckily or not, he’s still breathing.

It is a significant fatal wound, even though he used his supernatural ability to block it right before being hit by the mace.

If I had really been hit like that, would I have gone to hell a long time ago?

‘… … Damn. The view.’

As I rolled through the blood-covered field of vision, I came across Edelin’s face, frozen hard with a look of bewilderment.

She was bewildered by my actions, which were tantamount to suicidal.

“Oh, no, what is this?”

“Coolook, ah, uh.”

Is your head half sunken in?

It’s a blessing that the brain doesn’t seem to be injured.

I fell towards Edelin, still holding on to my fading consciousness.

Edeline instinctively reached out and tried to catch me so I wouldn’t fall.

‘… … Ah. If I lose consciousness… … I can’t… … not yet.’

Suddenly, Edeline’s conversation began to surface beyond my hazy consciousness.

– You almost killed me, even though I had such a strong escort like Charlotte, so why did we fight one-on-one and this is how it turned out? Are you curious?”

How can I make Edelin let her guard down in this situation?

– Of course, Seojun. I have never once tried to directly harm you.

Simply trying to exploit an opening when your concentration is low and your stamina is depleted will not work.

– Seojun, you know. Even though I’ve gone through countless regressions, I’ve set one line that I must never cross.”

In that case, there is no choice but to exploit Edelin’s psychological weakness.

– Could you say it’s a kind of psychological defense mechanism?

Because I know Edelin’s psychological weaknesses.

– I had my own Maginot Line. That was… … .

What is your weakness?

– Yes, that’s right.

It’s not that great.

– I have never caused any direct harm to Mr. Seojun.

It’s just that Edelin has a considerable aversion to direct harm to me.

If Edelin, who had been averse to causing direct harm up until now, were to suddenly inflict a potentially fatal injury with her own hands, there would likely be a small opening.

And my prediction was clearly correct.

That would be the case, because the leisurely look from before seemed to have disappeared from Edelin’s face.

“Seojun! Are you crazy? What are you doing!”

Edeline was clearly agitated.

If I had threatened her life, Edelin would have thought that she would be resurrected with the Holy Grail anyway.

But since the situation was created so suddenly that you couldn’t think of anything else, you couldn’t hide your embarrassment.

Having succeeded in creating an opening in Edelin in a way that was almost suicidal, I pretended to be half-conscious and began to fall towards Edelin.

As the injury was close to fatal, Edelin tried to receive me with an urgent expression on her face.

And this was the first and last chance.

I held on tightly to the thread of consciousness that was slowly fading away, quickly pulled out the dagger that I had hidden in my bosom, and stabbed Edelin in the abdomen with all my might.

Phew!
