by fnovelpia“Haa…, haa….”
[Heok…, heok….]
[【Battle Continuation】Maintain duration has ended. Health decrease penalty is applied.]
10 minutes elapsed.
My body becomes suddenly heavy.
It was really just a little more, but that little bit couldn’t be reached.
‘As expected, copying the form of the ultimate technique was difficult….’
【Sword King Ultimate Technique – Splitting Heaven and Earth】 was an unusable technique among the Sword King Secret Arts I inherited through the Sword King’s memories. The gist of the technique is simple.
3 Sword King Secret Arts. It is a technique that uses the 3 techniques of 【Splitting the Great Earth】, 【Splitting Mount Tai】, and 【Splitting the Great Sea】 simultaneously.
That is, it is a technique that is simple-minded in delivering 3 consecutive strikes, but at the same time incomparably powerful.
‘This technique might be hard to use just by reading memories. A kind of enlightenment is needed.’
In a state of not even knowing the clue to that enlightenment, the Sword King Ultimate Technique, which only followed the form, lacked the power to completely finish off that guy. However, even if the ultimate technique lacked power, at the end of 10 minutes of combat to somehow defeat him, I succeeded in somehow削减ing his health, but….

“Damn it…, just a little more…, it was really just a little bit….”
[All magic power has been consumed.]
[The effect of 【Sword King Footwork – Walking on Water】 ends.]
[The effect of 【Sword Aura】 ends.]
As the power pushing back the seawater disappeared, I simply fell right into the sea.
Watching countless bubbles gurgle up at the spot where Leon fell into the sea, Ananta returned to the form of the Great Sea Master and spoke.
“Haa…, haa…. If you had just a little more…. Yes, just 1 minute…., no, if you could have fought for 30 more seconds…, it would have been me whose neck was cut off, not you. Truly…., this generation’s hero is completely off the charts.”
The injuries are severe.
If I don’t focus on recovering from the injuries for a while, the aftereffects will be no joke.
“So…, Madam, why did you come here?”
As the Great Sea Master, who was tending to his wounds, glanced at the spot where Leon had fallen, the seawater there soon boiled and then burst forth! Something surged up, splitting the seawater.
A woman with black hair on the left side and white hair on the opposite side.
She held Leon in her arms and looked at the Great Sea Master.
“You rampaged quite a lot. Great Sea Master.”
“Well, I guess I have to admit I got excited after a long time. It was Madam who stopped the aftereffects of the fight from spreading, wasn’t it?”
“Yes. The damage from your two fighting would eventually cause damage to the continent as a tidal wave.”
“Well, that’s right. So…. Won’t you answer my question? Why did you move that heavy butt and come here? Madam Hyunmoo.”
The Great Sea Master’s eyes widened as he looked at the black and white haired woman, Hyunmoo.
She looked intently at the Great Sea Master, then looked down at Leon whom she was holding in a princess carry and said.
“I came to stop you from killing this child.”
“Killing? Me, that guy? Puhahahat. Madam, have you gone senile? Didn’t I say this guy is strong? Wasn’t it thanks to the environmental advantage that I could beat him? How could I kill such a child? Looks like you’ve really gone senile. Madam.”
“….Yes, I admit that the child’s power was more than I expected.”
Looking at the Great Sea Master who was laughing heartily at Hyunmoo’s words, Hyunmoo admitted her mistake and nodded her head. At the same time, Hyunmoo’s eyes glowed faintly, and Leon’s body was enveloped in a faint aura of light. The white and black aura slowly healed Leon’s injuries.
“But it seems right that this child would have died if I hadn’t come. Great Sea Master.”
“Didn’t I say I didn’t have the leisure to adjust it so he wouldn’t die?”
“It looked like that. Because you even drew out your original power.”
“Well, about that…, I have nothing to say. Take a look.”
After confirming that Leon’s injuries were completely healed, Hyunmoo turned around.
“Going?”
“Yes. Since the objective was this child from the beginning, there’s no reason to waste more time here. Also because this child’s companions are also waiting. Is there anything else you want to say?”
“Nothing to say, but there’s something to give that guy. Will you deliver it?”
“I’ll hand it over.”
The Great Sea Master took out a jade stone like the deep sea from his pocket and threw it to Hyunmoo.
The jade stone was enveloped in black and white light, then slowly stopped in front of Hyunmoo as if by telekinesis. Hyunmoo, who briefly looked at the jade stone the Great Sea Master handed over, raised her gaze towards the Great Sea Master as if interested.
“Deep Blue Jade Stone…, you’re giving something quite great. Are you that fond of this child?”
“I haven’t been this excited for the first time since I first met our youngest. I’m really greatly looking forward to what kind of guy he will be when I see him next time.”
“….I’m contemplating whether I should give this to this child or not.”
Hyunmoo, who was looking at the Deep Blue Jade Stone while frowning as if troubled, soon sent the Deep Blue Jade Stone to another space and then turned her gaze towards the Great Sea Master.
“So what will you do? Looking at your injuries, it seems you’ll need to take care of your body for quite a long time.”
“That’s right. I need to rest and recuperate for a while. Shall I go see my youngest brother lightly? Because I have a lot I want to say to my brother.”
“If it’s the youngest brother…, that’s right, is it the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?”
“Then be sure to hand it over to that guy~”
* * *
Splash…
In the end, I lost.
No, honestly, regarding this defeat, I also have something to say.
‘No, damn it, there wasn’t any story about such a monster appearing!’
The entire content of the game I was possessed into, The Success Story of the Incompetent Hero, is all up to just before defeating the fragment of the Demon King, the Heavenly Demon, who destroyed the Yan Kingdom.
In between, Leon’s adventure. Various heroines being NTR’d. It ends with him eventually being defeated by other heroes and falling into despair. As a bonus, the ending credits show the happy(?) heroines and other heroes. And it ends by showing the ruined Leon, but this is not important….
Before this final battle, the heroes’ stats were 500~600.
And although I haven’t played it yet, in the sequel, The Adventure Story of the Masochistic Hero, as far as I know, the Heavenly Demon is shown to have been eventually defeated by 2 heroes.
That is, although it’s a guess, it can be estimated that the Heavenly Demon’s stats are around 600~700. And because I had the judgment that I could sufficiently win with that level of stats, after the penalty of 50% was applied, I didn’t have much regret about health recovery….
Splash…Splash….
‘I didn’t know that a 999 stat the same as mine would pop out of nowhere.’
There’s no way I could have prepared for a 999 stat that didn’t even appear in the original game.
‘….Indeed, I was a bit complacent. I should have expected things to change from the point the story flow changed…, but still, 999 is too shameless.’
Now, for the time being, I need to prepare some means to recover health.
In a cowering RPG, health recovery means are essential.
Normally, a cleric would heal me…., but everyone here is a warrior, so there’s no healer.
Splash…Splash…Splash…
No, but why is it shaking so much?
I clearly remember sinking into the sea, though?
“….”
Slightly, I opened my eyes.
Then what I saw was not the deep sea, but a clear sky.
In addition, I was riding something like a small boat, wandering the vast open sea.
“What is it. Was I not dead?”
“You’re not dead yet.”
“Ugh, what a surprise.”
Startled by the mysterious female voice heard from behind, I looked back.
A woman with half black hair and half white hair mixed, looking somewhat pale, was looking at me.
“Who are you?”
“Just a busybody passing by.”
“Busybody….”
“Take it.”
She took out a jade stone with a blue light from her chest and threw it to me.
No, what is this.
【Deep Blue Jade Stone(深靑玉石)】
【Detailed Explanation: A miraculous elixir formed in the shape of a jade stone, where the energy of the sea’s deep abyss gathered and gathered. It has cold yin energy and increases the user’s affinity for water and increases resistance to fire.】
“Thank you.”
To throw something like this as if it’s nothing, that person will surely become a great person.
There’s no reason to deliberately hold this. Gotta eat it right away~
Gulp
“!!”
When I held it, it felt like a hard jade stone, but the moment I put it in my mouth and swallowed, it turned into a cool liquid and dissolved.
The cold energy traveled down the airway towards my stomach, and from my stomach, it spread throughout my body.
However, at that moment, I felt something strange in my body.
“Ugh…, what….”
From the place commonly called the dantian, something hot seemed to spread, and it clashed with the cold energy circulating throughout my body.
Because of that, my stomach started to hurt as if I had stomach flu, and my body trembled.
“You ate something full of yang energy beforehand.”
“Full of yang energy?…, Sun Pill?….”
“Sun Pill…, no matter how much it’s a Sun Pill, it shouldn’t be equal to the Deep Blue Jade Stone’s yin energy…, it seems you ate a fairly high-quality Sun Pill.”
If it’s a Sun Pill made personally by Dokjon, it would be high quality, but…., Kkuaaaak!!!
“It hurts so much!!”
“Calm down.”
Her hand gently stroked my stomach.
It was a very cold touch, but the pain felt from my stomach gradually eased.
As if the harmony between the yang energy and yin energy that had been constantly clashing inside my body began to be adjusted….
[【Yin-Yang Boundless Heart Art】has been acquired.]
[As an effect of 【Yin-Yang Boundless Heart Art】, natural magic power recovery amount greatly increases.]
[As an effect of 【Yin-Yang Boundless Heart Art】, a magic power slot of the same size is created.]
Oh, okay?
What is this. Is this a super fun prank? Of all times, I get a natural magic power recovery skill after getting beaten the crap out of by that bastard?
This is bullshit.
“Status window.”
Level : 33 Health : 129870 / 129870
Strength : 999 Magic Power : 79920 / 79920 x2
Agility : 999
Magic Power : 999
Skill : 999
Durability : 999
“???”
Oh, okay?
What is this. Is this a super fun prank? Why are my health and magic power suddenly all full?
No, I feel like I said something similar just now?
“No, what the…, surely you didn’t do this?”
“The Deep Blue Jade Stone was handed over by him.”
“….Him?”
“Yes. The Sea Demon King you faced, the Great Sea Master.”
“Ah, that son of a b….”
No, why would that bastard give me that?
Gives illness and then gives medicine? Isn’t he crazy?
“No, so who are you exactly?”
“….One of the Four Deities. The being called Hyunmoo.”
“Aha, one of the Four Deities….Huh?”
Suddenly, a big shot pops out again. What is this, I’m scared.
“I healed your messed-up body. But…, your constitution itself is something that couldn’t be helped.”
“Constitution?”
“Yes. That constitution that cannot accept the things of this world can probably be fixed soon.”
“!!”
At those words, I couldn’t help but be surprised.
The being before my eyes knows a secret I haven’t told anyone until now.
Just that one fact alone is enough to make me want to be wary of the opponent, which might be natural.
‘The sword…, is here.’
The moment I instinctively picked up the holy sword, Hyunmoo spoke quietly.
“Put away your sword. I don’t want to do the act of taking a life I saved with my own hands, with my own hands.”
“!!”
“….I came to express my gratitude to you.”
“Gra, gratitude?….”
She heals me, then suddenly throws out hooks, then threatens me, then thanks me.
Just do one thing, just one!
“Many things will happen from now on…, but with your power, you should be able to overcome them sufficiently. Please take good care of that child during your journey.”
“What does that….”
“….We’ve arrived. I’ll be going now.”
“No, don’t really just throw hooks and disappear!!”
I sprang up and tried to grab her, but she had disappeared as if she hadn’t existed from the beginning.
And at the same time, in the distance, the appearance of the city Dandung began to come into sight.
