Chapter 53
Of the 12 team leaders, six were Strength-type Superhumans, the other five had Psychic Abilities.
These Psychic Superhumans also had enough skill and capability to fly in the sky as well. Once you reach the S-Rank, you would be able to use your abilities a lot more skillfully.
In the case of the Psychokinetic Superhuman, Leah Michelle, the difficulty of being able to lift herself went into the realms of extreme difficulty, however, she could still consider herself to be somewhat flying.
Of course, rather than using such tricks and the whatnot, raw power would be more beneficial in this instance. A Strength-type would fare much better with their instantaneous acceleration, speed, and high endurance. However, the reason why I went ahead is because I could control the wind.
The resulting factor was a storm that was strong enough to enable me to fly.
I didn’t necessarily take the lead for performance, fame, or even merit. Is it to win the trust of my team members? Of course not! It was simply because, while in the storm, I was free. I felt unconfined, flexible, and efficient. I simply went ahead since I could do so.
Tung!
Since he jumped without gaining momentum first, he wouldn’t be able to leap that far. But as soon as he entered into the storm, he let the force of the wind push him forward.
-It’s exhausting…

Thanks to the Flower Pot Fairy, it was possible for him to change the direction of the wind momentarily, thus, he could alter the position of his posture mid-air in a way other superhumans couldn’t.
Flight was impossible, but a similar level of aerial acrobatics was doable.
Kieeeehkk!!!
The moment a Pterosaur rushed to bite him, he paused in the air for a moment before taking out his Aether blade. He quickly rotated his body in a 720 degree spin, cutting the neck of his opponent in the process. Shortly afterwards, as soon as he stepped on the head of the fresh corpse, he jumped diagonally. Another Pterosaur’s beak which had been flying towards him came into his view.
Fuwook!
While riding on the storm, he clenched his teeth as he inserted the Aether blade into the Pterosaur’s beak.
“Growl!”
As expected, since his center of gravity was off, it was difficult for him to properly exert force.
Tchuk!!

Despite the complaints in his head, he was still able to cut the Pterosaur’s body into half.
‘It would have been nice to have an Aether Buster…”
An Aether Buster was a function engraved only in first-class blades, it enabled the Aether Energy to explode after inserting it into the blade. Regrettably, he didn’t have this. On the upside of things, he had a second-class blade that was unlocked to its fullest potential, and with it, he was able to cut down the Pterosaurs around him easily.
Normally, men couldn’t move in air like this. Even though other Superhumans had excellent fighting skills, they weren’t able to fight as well as he could. However, if these restrictions were to decrease even just a tiny bit, Strength-type superhumans could fight better in mid-air.
If they could engage in close aerial combat as much as possible. The possibilities would be endless…
‘If a monster who could fly and do long-range attacks appear, it’d become a huge headache…’
Thankfully, there was no such monster here, thus, he could fight with ease.
He sliced through ten Pterosaurs in succession, stepped on their bodies, and reached the lowest rock cliff.
Kuung!!

The moment he stepped on the cliff, a rock giant which was smaller than the average ones attacked him. He quickly jumped back and rose into the air once more. Using the Pterosaur’s head, he leapt forward again.
This time, he swung his sword, and twisted the end of his Aether Blade towards the giant’s neck, it looked as if he swung the sword recklessly, but the Pterosaur was slashed into three equal parts as it fell.
‘This…’
He just realized that once he swung his sword, the momentum of the wind added to his slashes, it made his usual attacks much stronger than normal.
When he looked down, he saw that the team leaders, with their immense reserves of stamina, were chasing him with all their might. Unlike him who had to make multiple leaps due to his low strength and jumping power, they had more than enough to cover what he did in single leaps.
Soon after, he looked further and saw the Superhumans were following the team leaders, they were also dealing with the far-away Pterosaurs with long-range attacks.
All he had to do now was deal with the Pterosaurs right in front of him. This was also obvious since he didn’t have the long-range capabilities to reach the far ones in the first place, now that he was focusing on dealing with the ones nearby, the other Superhumans could take care of the rest.
He was the most appropriate fighter for this, rather than the slow-moving Psychics or Superhumans who were quite vulnerable to air warfare.
Whi-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee!

In the raging storm, he continued galloping into the sky like he was in a trance.
It was almost like a marathon. The only difference was that the Pterosaurs occasionally flew in to bite him. The rocks and stones were also mixed in the rough storm, he had no choice but to move vertically to dodge them.
If he maintained his pace and didn’t give up, he could actually reach his destination like this.
“This is unbelievable…”
Outside the Great Rift, at the command barracks, Park Seong-ho muttered these words, someone nodded in response since he shared the same sentiment.
This was where veterans who had seen a lot of Psychics had gathered. Whether they were Psychics themselves or not, it didn’t matter.
However, everyone could see how ridiculous the 7th team’s commander controlled the situation.
There were quite a few Psychics who could fly. They were either an S-rank, or could perform aerial maneuvers with their abilities. Or in some cases, they simply had flight as their ability.
However, the 7th team’s commander wasn’t capable of flight.

This was a well-known fact to everyone here. Although he had the mobility that let him move smoothly like the wind… He couldn’t fly in the sky.
At first, when he said that he would take the lead, they had doubts whether he could actually do it. That incompetent person named Yoo Seodam, was now using this ability while moving freely in the storm. Although it was still far below the level of Superhuman Abilities, he didn’t have the power of flight, did he?
However, that man, without the proper ability in this situation, was actually showing far greater skill than a man with the superpower to fly.
By taking advantage of numerous rock debris and Pterosaurs flying in the air, wouldn’t it be as if he was flying in the sky using half the strength of a strong A-rank?
There was a limit on flight speed, so no one could fly like he was moving. Even though his jumps were extremely strong, it was still impossible to change direction mid-air.
However, that man was still able to do it.
It was as if he was using everything around him as a stepping stone.
If one looked closely, they would be able to see that he was using every rock and Pterosaur ahead of him!
And… a thought came to everyone’s minds.

What the hell was his ‘ability’?
Unlike the efficient and straightforward modern swordsmanship that excludes grandeur, his soft swordsmanship made it look like he was dancing, it was also strangely several times faster and more powerful!
Only
‘In fact, he doesn’t even have a strong body.’
With proper strength, a person could easily control their body’s movements and tiny motions. By using it properly, they would be able to exert several more times force than usual.
However, Yoo Seo Dam lacked muscle strength when you compared it to his current mobility. Now, he was supplementing that lack of power through the storm and his unusual swordsmanship.
“Ground Team! Fight the Rock Giant!”
