Legendary-Tier Crap

108. Defeating grandpa is impossible

Did you not also give her a name that she accepted?

Call to her

She cannot refuse

Lee Hyunjin was conflicted but what did he have to lose? He stretched out his hand but before he could call out Hanuel sent the orb flying towards him and he had no choice but to jump to the side to dodge.

The orb hit the wall and some of the water grazed Lee Hyunjin's leg, it felt like knives had cut into his skin. He groaned in pain and forced himself up again.

You need to believe in yourself.

—How can I do that when I don't even know what exactly I am?

"You're distracted Jinjin, is now really the time to be thinking about other things?"  Hanuel launched the spear and it lodged itself into the wall beside Lee Hyunjin after slicing his cheek. "Concentrate or you really will die," the spear flew back to Hanuel.

Lee Hyunjin shook his head, trying to figure out what he should do next.

I told you before, high ranking beasts tend to be fond of chaos children.

Lee Hyunjin formed a claw with fire and used it to counter Hanuel's attacks while listening to the voice.

There's a reason for that, though at that time I didn't think you were ready to hear it.

—don't decide for me if I can or can't know stuff about myself! I'm desperate right now so please just tell me!
Lee Hyunjin got hit again but he turned himself in time so the water hit his back and not his arms. He couldn't afford to lose both his arms, if he did then this battle was as good as over.

Beasts are naturally attracted to your kind, almost as if they see you as kin.

There was a rumour once before that a child who couldn't be harmed by the corruption could communicate with animals without using telepathy and could even befriend beasts that already had masters.

High ranking beasts are arrogant and yield only to their master but it's different for you, isn't it?

When Lee Hyunjin thought about it, it was true. He'd learned to understand Min long before she spoke using her 'voice'. He didn't find trouble dealing with the narcissistic Artemis or even the eccentric Cerberus but he'd never seen them interacting with anyone other than their masters unless they absolutely had to, they didn't even get along with each other and most of the time stayed in their weapon forms besides their masters.

Believe me now? The voice asked.

I do, I believe you Einari.

Lee Hyunjin felt a tinge of surprise brush his consciousness as if the other side was shocked that he knew her name.

Then call to her, if you can take the spear from Hanuel, his attacks will slow down or stop entirely for a short while... if you're lucky he might get a little clumsy.

Now Lee Hyunjin had doubts again. You shouldn't have said that.... you've jinxed it.

—Just trust me

Lee Hyunjin nodded but now he was almost certain that Hanuel wouldn't get clumsy even if he took Eun.

You'll have to do it immediately, don't let Hanuel figure out what you're trying to do otherwise it'll be for naught

Lee Hyunjin understood, he only had one chance to do this. He stopped running and stood in place facing Hanuel, they were separated by six or so metres.
