Ch. 67 Awakening Mode? (Revised)
by AfuhfuihgsChapter 67 – Awakening Mode? (Revised)
It was only after taking a punch to the stomach, a shoulder attack, and a Greatsword strike that Older Sister Hyesun’s words came to mind.
She had definitely said, “Your period might be over, but since it’s Arang’s first, you still need to be careful with your stomach, okay?”
I thought it wouldn’t matter since you don’t feel pain in LEORE, and everything is processed as vibration.
Until I got my ass kicked.
Usually, in Raids, a single attack can be life-threatening, and when a Dealer gets hit, it’s mostly by an area-of-effect attack, so it wasn’t a big deal.
But a PVP user’s attack was different.
They don’t attack with a set pattern like a Boss, but give real-time feedback and attack in response.
Because of that, I, who wasn’t used to PVP, couldn’t respond to the Great Swordsman’s attack and allowed a punch to my abdomen.
LEORE converts pain into vibration.
The Great Swordsman’s large fist landed deep in my small stomach, vibrating and shaking my entire stomach. Okay, up to this point, I wasn’t too worried.
The problem was the Great Swordsman’s Chain Attack.
To create distance, I floated into the air and took the Great Swordsman’s shoulder attack head-on. Stunned, I was then hit by the Great Swordsman’s single attack, [Spear].
A giant Greatsword, almost as tall as me, pierced my abdomen, and an explosion blew me away.
If the punch and shoulder attacks were just “Ugh!” level, even with the vibration, the Greatsword stab attack was a whole different “Ugh!”.
If the vibration from the punch and shoulder was like having a vibrating cell phone on my stomach, the Greatsword attack was like someone putting a massager turned up to the maximum inside my stomach.
No matter how much it was just vibration, when the size of the vibration exceeded a certain level, it was enough to be mistaken for pain.
Even though my period was over, the aftereffects remained.
Starting with my stomach, the strong vibration that shook everything inside, including the most important place for a woman, awakened Arang’s negative emotions, which had subsided as my period ended.
It wasn’t a period problem.
It wasn’t that Arang’s negative emotions came up because of my period, but that they came up because of the pain in a woman’s precious area due to my period.
In other words…
‘It wasn’t because of my period, but it just comes out when I feel pain in my uterus.’
It’s not that I hate Arang’s negative emotions.
At first, when I felt it in reality, I couldn’t speak well, couldn’t express my emotions, and was just an alive corpse, so it was uncomfortable, but it’s different now.
I feel, understand, and have become accustomed to all of Arang’s emotions.
This time, negative emotions even invaded the virtual world during my period, but I spoke according to my will and expressed my emotions, even though I only shed tears in reality.
The downside is that I can feel my mind becoming depressed, so I don’t want to feel it for long.
My mind is sinking.
This sensation of my mind falling into the deep sea.
My mind, emotions, and even thoughts fall into the cold, jet-black deep sea.
“Hoo…”
This is it. This is the feeling I was trying to imitate.
I gripped the dagger tightly and Charged towards the Great Swordsman running towards me.
The Great Swordsman’s movements in front of me look slow, and all the information entering my field of vision floods my head.
I decided to call this ability Extrasensory Perception.
In normal situations, it’s an ability with considerable risk. Just using it makes my head throb, and I’ve reached the level of controlling it, but I don’t need to control it now.
Now, so… yeah, let’s call this state Awakening Mode. In Awakening Mode, my mind is calm, so there’s no problem even if I use Extrasensory Perception at 100%.
When I raise Extrasensory Perception to 100%, every single action of the Great Swordsman enters my head.
The red, large effect seen on the Greatsword and that large posture…
It’s the Great Swordsman’s Max Level skill, [Wave]. It’s a skill that slaughters the target with dozens of slashes at an incredibly fast speed that makes you think it covers the entire area.
The remaining HP is only 5%.
I can’t get hit even once. I would normally give up, but with Extrasensory Perception at 100% thanks to Awakening Mode, I’m confident.
I ran without stopping towards the slashes that were covering me like waves.
There doesn’t seem to be a place to avoid, but it seems enough if I mix in Parrying.
If it’s simply a slash caused by a skill, not directly Parrying the Greatsword, I may not get Stunned.
The Greatsword’s heavy, giant strength is scary, but the slashes aren’t.
Simply offsetting it with slashes won’t work. I have to move forward.
The daggers held in both hands glow dark red, and faster and stronger than the Great Swordsman’s slashes flying to kill me, I block and Parry the slashes!
==
‘No way, is this real?’
Arang’s changed atmosphere, and to finish off such Arang, the Great Swordsman cast the level 60 skill [Wave].
Arang began to break through [Wave] without getting hit even once by the slashes that seemed to swallow everything.
Gymnastic-like movements, evading the slashes with light, fast, and flexible movements. In situations where I can’t avoid it, I’m deflecting the minimum slashes with two daggers.
The Great Swordsman user watching that scene was dumbfounded.
He also saw the video of the 1v1 Maggora Gimmick.
The figure of Lee Arang, the best Physical Skill user, who didn’t back down even one move against the best AI at the modern level and eventually won, was unfolding before his eyes.
But the Great Swordsman user isn’t just a stupid user.
He immediately thought of the next move and Charged towards Arang, who hadn’t completely figured out Wave yet.
At that moment, Arang retreated for the first time while deciphering Wave.
‘What suddenly?’
-Shuk.
Arang disappears in front of my eyes. Slashes passed by the place where Arang was just now in less than 0.1 seconds.
‘Calculating the time it takes for the slashes to arrive and the short casting time, retreating and using a movement skill!?’
The fact that Arang is still not visible in the Great Swordsman’s field of vision means…
‘Behind!’
The Great Swordsman immediately canceled the skill and swung the Greatsword behind him.
‘Crap!’
The Great Swordsman realized that his Greatsword was passing over Arang’s head and recognized Arang’s height again.
Arang’s height, who is arguably the smallest in LEORE.
The Great Swordsman’s Greatsword cut through the air in an attack that he had become accustomed to in PVP for a long time.
‘The Assassin’s attack can’t penetrate heavy armor anyway. There are still many opportunities.’
The compatibility between the Great Swordsman and the Assassin class is overwhelmingly advantageous for the Great Swordsman because all Assassin-class weapons are light and cannot penetrate heavy armor.
But…
Arang ignored all of the Great Swordsman’s predictions.
Arang is attacking at a speed that is invisible to the eye. But something was strange.
HP is decreasing rapidly with Arang’s attack.
The Great Swordsman user, who had never experienced HP decreasing this much against an Assassin before, hurriedly swung the Greatsword at Arang as soon as the after-delay ended.
The Greatsword couldn’t have full power in a collapsed posture, and Arang, who noticed that, Parried it, holding both daggers in Reverse Grip.
Kaaaaaang!!!
Perfect Parry. The Greatsword bounced back greatly, and the Great Swordsman became Stunned.
‘I’m going to die…!’
At that moment, the Great Swordsman user made eye contact with Arang and felt fear in her empty eyes.
He hurriedly pulled his legs back to retreat as his HP continued to decrease.
Tuk.
Arang immediately noticed that, threw the dagger in her left hand, and hit the heel of the leg that the Great Swordsman started to move. Caught on the dagger, the Great Swordsman’s body lost its balance and fell backward.
‘Crazy!’
Arang immediately got on top of the Great Swordsman’s body and stabbed the dagger in her right hand into the gap between the helmet and the breastplate, which is the biggest weakness of heavy armor.
“Keueok!”
The dagger stuck in my neck caused a large chunk of HP to fall out, and the Great Swordsman entered a Great Stun.
Arang didn’t miss that opportunity, twisting the dagger while pulling it out, and stabbed the Great Swordsman user’s neck until he died.
Paang!
The Great Swordsman eventually couldn’t withstand Arang’s critical attacks and disappeared with exploding particles.
==
“Hoo… Hoo…”
That was dangerous.
PVP, which started with all HP gone from the beginning, consumed quite a bit of mental strength.
Even in Awakening Mode, my head is throbbing.
To wake up my mind, which was sinking into the deep sea and becoming depressed, I immediately Warped to the Guild House.
When I entered the Guild House, I immediately went down to the basement at the sound of Kang! Kang! coming from there.
As expected, Belly Cover was making something, doing her life’s work as a Blacksmith.
She immediately notices that I’ve come.
“Hmm? Arang, what’s wrong?”
“Belly Cover Unnie…”
“Yeah, Arang. Huh? Didn’t you say your period was over?”
Belly Cover stopped what she was doing and ran to me, hugging me.
“There was something going on… Stroke my stomach…”
“Stomach!? Ah, okay!”
Belly Cover nodded at my words at a tremendous speed and immediately went to her room, climbing onto the huge bed that took up about half of the space.
She hugs me from behind, just like she took care of me during my period.
“Hoo… Hoo… Hoo…”
I almost regretted entrusting it to Belly Cover at the sound of breathing coming from behind, but honestly, I felt good that she brought and took care of various things for me during my period, so I completely leaned on her.
“A, are you going to touch it?”
“Yeah.”
Ssuk, ssuk.
“Soft, squishy, smooth, haa… haa…”
Knead, knead.
“Plus, the slightly lower belly coming out is the best…”
Hmm… I think I’m regretting it after all.
