Chapter 144
"The skill . "
"Huh?"
"Your throwing skill," Blass said to Dohyuk . It was right after their day of training was over . It was when Dohyuk had mastered Flying Master Kicks in Blass's way .
"Oh, you mean Hand of Yamook?"
"Yeah . I know that it's your prize for dealing with Aruga . "
"Well… let's just focus on my kick skill . Isn't that what we decided?"
"Yes . " Blass nodded but continued, "But that's only when I'm teaching you . I'm sure you put in the time to practice your skills . "
"So, you're telling me to dedicate some time to practice that skill?"
"No . " Blass declared, "Use all of your spare time to practice that skill . "
Dohyuk looked at his hands .
"Well, I did have some fun with the skill but…"
There were instances where Dohyuk successfully used the skill in addition to Giwon's Nature . But to practice it on a larger scale, all the time? Dohyuk only considered the skill to be secondary at best .
"I know you hate training a primary skill given by a god . I understand . "
Dohyuk did not speak . He couldn't object .
"Honestly speaking, the Flying Master Kicks isn't really that good of a skill for you . "
"Huh? What's up with that?"
"I'm not talking about the skill in general . It is an excellent skill on its own, but you know that it is incomplete . "
The skill was very practical in one aspect, but it was weak as a whole . You could only use the skill with your feet . Dohyuk could see parts where easier and powerful movements were possible by adding other body parts to it .
"You've learned the movement from me, so that should be enough to overpower the weakness, but your skill relies on offense . Sure enough, there are enemies that might be better suited for such a style . "
However, there were enemies that might not match .
"Let's say there's an enemy who's faster and more agile . Or someone's whose defense allows them to make a counter strike . Your kick won't work against them . "
Dohyuk rose up and scratched his head .
"So, I have to change how to fight entirely against them?"
"Yes, it is worth a try for someone like you who fights alone . "

"Hmph . "
Dohyuk also agreed with what Blass said . He too had experienced a hard time against enemies like Blass had explained .
"Okay . " Dohyuk answered, "I'll try as the instructor says . "
"I see…"
It was impeccable timing . The angel charged toward Dohyuk at an incredible speed, but Dohyuk jumped high off the ground . With his strengthened leg, he was able to jump 20 meters up into the air .
"…So, I have to prepare for everything . "
If he had not trained his skill, this would not have happened .
The angel screamed his head off as he spread out his four wings out from the ground . It was probably to fly straight at Dohyuk . But that's what he was waiting for .
Dohyuk already had a handful of metals in his hand that he turned into needles . The remaining metal pieces were turned into ropes which wrapped around Dohyuk's arm for later use .
"Take this . "

It wasn't a slow, simple movement that was made to hide what he was trying to do . Over fifty needles were fired directly at the angel who was trying to fly up . However, the angel didn't care since there was no heat in those needles . Tens of needles pierced the angel's skin, but the angel didn't mind at all since the needles were pushed out as the angel flew up .
In addition, Dohyuk didn't care either as he used Double to divide into two right after he threw the needles . The two bodies stuck their legs out to push each other away, and the angel shot past the air where there was no one .
His choice was immediate . The angel turned and flew at one of the Dohyuks . The Dohyuk that was being targeted threw his needles at the angel . And when the angel came closer, Dohyuk combined himself into one again .
While the angel was figuring out what happened, Dohyuk landed on the ground and replenished his metal .
'It's close . '
It was a very intense fight . The reason he was tenser this time was because of their location . People from the city could not see Dohyuk anymore . They did not know Dohyuk was fighting an angel right now . Without his lambs' sights, he had to fight by relying solely on his stats .
The angel quickly found Dohyuk again .
'It won't be long . '
Mayhab recognized Dohyuk's Double after a few times . He wasn't sure if the angel had such a battle skill too, but it would surely not last that long .
Dohyuk divided himself up again and separated from each other . The angel looked at both Dohyuks while thinking of something . The angel was trying to decipher what Dohyuk had done . Seconds later, the angel moved again toward one of the Dohyuks .
One of the Dohyuks then turned to throw with all his might . However, the angel didn't care .
The angel now knew that the needles did not cause any damage .

'Probably . '
If he combined into one now, the angel would attack with something else that he had prepared .
Dohyuk then threw 25 of needles from each hand . They were metal needles that did not have any heat .
When the needles pierced skin, however, they sank in even deeper .
The angel's eyes widened in shock as he felt pain . The angel did not realize that Dohyuk wasn't trying his best with the previous throws . When Dohyuk's needle first damaged the angel's eyes, Dohyuk realized that the angel had lost his sight by a large margin . That's why he threw 'fake' attacks to make the angel be unwary of his attacks .
The angel's body dashed toward Dohyuk, penetrating Dohyuk's stomach while his arm was torn apart from his shoulder .
But he didn't die as the angel lost his aim due to the pain coming from his face .
He also decided to take the damage to keep himself alive . He could've dodged by using Double, but he was afraid that the angel was prepared for that already . And that would have held him back from his next attack .
The angel then received an attack from the back .
Before the angel struck Dohyuk, the other Dohyuk threw something he was holding by his both hands to kick . It was made from thick metal, but it was not a needle . It was bigger than a human head and it looked more like a twisted football . Dohyuk kicked with all his might .
Hand of Yamook, didn't only limit itself from throwing with his hands . After the long training, Dohyuk found the strongest attack he could make with the skill . It was more like a 'launch' than a throw .
The angel turned, or tried to turn . But he couldn't as Dohyuk grabbed the angel so it couldn't move easily . And that was enough .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
