Episode.31 System help

A dungeon full of cold air.

From the entrance to the boss room to the end of the floor.

This can be said to be the deepest bottom layer in the field.

The heat coming from the torches spread everywhere is just cold.

The battle is still taking place in this place that looks like a dungeon.

“You really run away like a rat!”

The black armor guy’s stab comes in.

“Inhale!”

With difficulty, I pulled my head back, raised my sword, and barely succeeded in deflecting the trajectory of his sword.

Constantly blocking and dodging his continuous attacks.

It was simply a repetition of it.

There was an opportunity to throw it away, but even if he tried to throw it away, the weight of the sword was not light, as if it had condensed all the snow on Mount Everest.

Every time I failed to throw it away, it seemed like fatigue was accumulating in my actions.

In this case, I think it would be better not to do anything to throw it away at all.

The moment you bounce, an opportunity may come, but right now the opponent is too bad.

“You… wow, wow, if you were human, you would have a name, right?”

I spoke while breathing heavily.

“Yes.”

I got caught.

I planned to talk to him to kill some time, then briefly replenish his stamina while he was engrossed in conversation.

“But I don’t remember now.”

“What? Why?”

‘no way…’

“I don’t know either… I only remember the techniques for combat.”

I definitely remembered the state of the guy when I saw the black armor before.

‘The King’s Insight activated.’

– Tiring!

[Check the monster’s information.]

[information]

Name: King of a country without a king (Lv.??)

Current status: Under the control of parasites.

=================

“Current status…”

“… Is this the end of small talk?”

The black armored man took a stance, holding the sword tightly with both hands.

He put his feet neatly together and raised his sword towards the sky.

‘Parasite is clearly interpreted as parasite in Korean…’

When I thought about the possibility that that armored guy was being controlled by parasites, I began to see hope.

A battle is not necessarily won by suffocating the enemy.

There are many ways to win.

” I can’t withstand the pressure to kill that rings in my head, so let’s put an end to it. ”

“You didn’t say at the beginning that you didn’t want to hurt me for no reason, right?”

“Ho?”

The murderous cold that seems to radiate non-stop from its sword continues to slow down my body.

But now that I have hope in this fight.

You can’t run away from battle.

“Have you realized that far… Then take it.”

The black armored guy who said that quickly approached me and swung his sword from top to bottom.

When swung, the light of the brightly colored sword intertwined with the guy’s black armor, making it dazzling.

I didn’t avoid it this time.

– Kaang!

-Pap-duk-duk…

I clenched my teeth.

Even if all the teeth wear out, this battle cannot be lost.

There is finally a clue to find out about this hunter’s world that I was very curious about.

You can’t miss that clue.

As the fight with this guy continues, my body gets tired, but the fight becomes easier.

The guy seemed to take a step back as he retrieved his sword again, but this was definitely a fake as I’ve fought him over and over again.

He may have tried to trick me, but he won’t let me do it this time.

As if to tell me that my prediction was correct, the sharp tip of a knife suddenly protruded into my right field of vision.

However, I had already swung the sword diagonally to the right again, and the guy who made the stab attack would have no choice but to watch as the sword bounced away.

If I had been unprepared for the swing, I would have definitely been blocked by its power, but I had already been preparing for a while and did not miss the opportunity.

I immediately jumped and tackled him.

The target is the black armor guy’s neck.

The black armor looked embarrassed.

“But it’s already too late!”

A winning decision made without regret.

It doesn’t necessarily fail.

‘I don’t make any mistakes.’

‘Three consecutive attacks.’

I recited the name of the technique in my mind.

The first one is on the left shoulder.

– Kyaang!

The armor was so strong that only scratches remained.

“It’s so strong!”

The second is the wrist of the guy’s right hand holding the weapon.

– Thing!

Although it did not cause any significant damage, the second attack was merely a check attack.

Lastly, the third is the weak point of the full plate armor at the very bottom of the helmet.

neck.

– Crispy!

I caused damage to this guy for the first time.

The damage will be fatal.

I immediately struck down the helmet with the handle of my sword and took it off.

This all happened after I jumped and ran.

I landed behind the black armor guy.

– Clink.

The helmet fell to the floor.

– Pajak!

And the head in black armor too.

‘It was a skeleton after all.’

It didn’t seem wrong to say that he was once human.

But there was nothing on that new white skull.

The area where the parasite was most likely attached seemed to be the head.

The black armored guy knelt down.

– Shake it off!

The sound of kneeling fills this space.

“Hehe…. Did you finish it?”

However, the guy soon got up on his knees again and smashed the sword he was holding into the floor.

Unfortunately, I guess the damage wasn’t enough to end it.

Perhaps because it is a skeleton, it moves without a head.

‘… No, the skeletons I met before couldn’t move without their heads? ‘Is it because he’s the boss?’

It was a skeleton that looked like a Dullahan.

But the real hell had just begun.

The black armor guy suddenly started gathering magical power.

Then, the left hand made a wrapping cloth and stood vertically with the hand spread out.

Additionally, the right hand was made into a fist in the shape of holding a sword in the air and then attached to the wrapping cloth.

“Um, is that?!”

I think I picked up that technique somewhere.

Not now, but a technique used by someone who was an S-class hunter in the past.

I don’t remember the name or gender, but I think it was so powerful that it was called a ‘forbidden technique’.

Seeing technology that I had only encountered through video media during my school days before my eyes, I don’t know whether I should like it or not.

I was staring blankly at the guy, whose entire body was trembling and who was gathering magical energy into a fist that looked like it was holding a sword.

‘… I need to move… but I don’t have any strength in my body!’

It was clear that if it wasn’t now, there would be no chance.

The guy slowly struck his fist in the air attached to the wrapping cloth and began to create the shape of a sword with his magic power.

As if he was taking a sword out of his left left wrapping cloth.

His blue magic creates a handle and crossguard with dark blue pommel.

His blue magical power creates a sword body made of dark blue.

His blue magic creates the tip of the sword made of dark blue. Very pointed and sharp.

The guy who finally made the sword to the end soon brought the head that had fallen to the floor back into his hand.

After placing the head on the neck, magic power was injected and the head was reattached.

Afterwards, he took the helmet and put it back on his head.

“… Human, you have great skills.”

“Ha… Then why don’t you search for it?”

“I can’t believe I’m just this tired… I still don’t have enough training.”

“Don’t you keep moving with the power of the undead?”

“It’s not wrong… But, this is just the beginning.”

“Phew…”

“I’ll be on my way from now on.”

I’m getting more and more tired.

The black armored guy held a sword emitting cold air in his left hand.

In his right hand, he held a dark blue sword created with his bright blue magic power.

“… Dual sword style?”

“With two swords, there is less you can do than you think.”

“The bastard who knows that…”

“But my dual sword technique is different.”

In terms of the game, we can now call it Phase 2.

I have no strength anymore.

The black armored guy ran towards me and made a horizontal cut from left to right with the right sword, and a horizontal cut from right to left with the left sword, using the most basic dual-wielding sword technique.

I’ve been thinking about it for a while, and if the parasite isn’t in the head, maybe it’s in the heart?

‘They say he was human too…’

“Take my sword!”

The priority is to stop that first.

– Kagang!

Just when I felt relieved that I had blocked it, his next attack came.

Turn your body to the left and attack with your dual swords lying on one side.

To put it bluntly, the attack came in the form of 11 lying horizontally.

– Hey!

“Ugh…!”

I almost lost even a single bone due to the powerful guy’s attack.

The guy raised his left sword diagonally upward and swung it diagonally downward.

‘… It’s your chance!’

I just blocked him, pushed him away with my shoulder, and did my best to get rid of the parasite that was inferred to be near his heart.

But that was my failure.

His two swords.

Blocking one thing is not the end.

– Kagagagak…!

The moment when you are holding on while blocking a sword emitting cold air.

The black armor guy’s right sword also went up diagonally.

“It’s over.”

A sword strike full of magical power attacked me.

The guy’s magic sword cut right into the left collarbone next to my neck.

– Sigh!

“Aaagh!”

I was thrown out into the distance.

It could be said that there was that much power.

‘Ah… does this end here?’

If Harin had come with me… would things have been different?

It is unknown.

Maybe I was missing her without even realizing it.

Where on earth has she gone?

As the moment of death approached, I became an emotional person.

I couldn’t make a rational decision.

I wanted to live.

I finally got the privilege of the system.

Does this mean it ends here?

“… Now, before you die, let me tell you one thing.”

– Bang!

I dropped the sword on the floor.

It was as if a heavy metal sword was hitting the floor, making the distinctive sound of a metallic weapon.

“Ugh…”

Then, with his right hand, he began to stop the bleeding coming from his left collarbone.

“My magic power is… magic power that was banned in the past. Why do you think it is like that?”

“I don’t know… Ugh…”

I complained of pain.

“The reason is… if my magic seeps into the blood vessels, it will remain an incurable disease.”

“… What?”

“Because it is a special magical power that comes from my body, it has no effect on me… but it is sure to be fatal to others. So I don’t use this technique.”

“Well, but now…”

“I don’t know the exact reason, but… don’t you? It is not my will to harm you. Even though I am strong, my mind cannot be controlled. Although my body was taken away.”

“Since I don’t have a body anyway…”

“That’s not something a dying person would say… Anyway, that incurable disease will drive you to death.”

I was currently sitting in the ‘L’ position and trying to stop the bleeding from my wound.

If I were to be attacked by this guy like this, I would die.

If there is a God.

If there is a transcendent being.

Why won’t you help me when I’m on the verge of death?

I have always suffered through life.

Couldn’t you save me just once… just once?

“If you die from an incurable disease, I won’t be at peace… If you are going to die anyway, I will take your life right here.”

The guy who said that used magic to bring the sword sheath he had previously thrown to the floor to his waist.

And then he put the cold sword into its sheath.

I held the sword full of magical power with both hands.

And the black armor guy rushed at me.

‘Am I now going to die by being stabbed by that sword…’

“For the ring guard!”

What is a ring guard?

It was none of my business as I was so close to death.

‘It’s really over now, isn’t it…’

– Tiring!

[The user of the system is in danger of death.]

[With the effect of System Blessing (EX), you can use a disposable means to prevent the risk of death for user ‘Han Si-woo’.]

[The means used will be changed to another random avoidance device.]

[Death Avoidance]

1.Time machine

[You can turn the time back 5 minutes.]

2. Recover vitality

[Recovers 50% of health.]

3.Teleport

[Finally, teleport to the location where you performed the ‘sleep’ action.]

Suddenly three options appeared in front of me.

There is nothing to worry about at this urgent moment.

Even if you use a time machine, the same situation will just repeat itself.

I can’t back down.

Die or die.

This concludes.

‘Number 2, vitality recovery.’

A brilliant green light surrounds my body.

‘Now, round 3 is starting.’

No, this is not the beginning.

He’s also undead, but he looks tired.

After my body recovered, I noticed the staggering figure in black armor full of gaps.

And he appears to be intentionally suppressing his skills, perhaps to resist the parasite’s rule.

If there really was hostility towards me.

If there was any intention of hostility at all.

Even if I recovered, I would have lost this battle.

“Going. This is the end!”

The last sum that risks one’s life.

I dangerously twisted my body to avoid his sword.

And then I returned the attack with a stab.

Seeing the guy trying to respond in a hurry, I quickly plunged my sword into the spot where his heart would be.

“Go, accelerate!”

The guy shouted an unknown spell.

– Squeak!

– axis!

There was the sound of bones breaking and a small creature being torn in half.

I don’t know what the last spell he shouted was, but an inexplicable feeling of anxiety engulfed my body even faster.

But that’s not what’s important now.

finished.

The winner of this bloody battle is.

I became me.

I kicked the limp black armored guy and pushed him away, putting him on the floor.

– Boom!

-Dddd!

As soon as he fell, the door he appeared to be guarding began to rise from the floor.

And there was a keyhole in the door.

Defector’s key will definitely go in there.

– Tiring!

“quest”

『The One Who Couldn’t Sleep』

『Give rest to him who can never sleep.』

『Rest. 1/1』

『Compensation: None』

Was this guy the one who couldn’t sleep?

‘For some reason it seemed like that.’

As I led my tired body toward the keyhole, the quest window once again filled my field of vision.

– Tiring!

“quest”

『Night of the Traitor』

『Pick up the key and learn the secrets of Parasite and the Seven Kingdoms.』

“enlightenment. 0/1』

『Reward: G Coin』

There is no need to rush.

Now the secret.

I’ll dig into every detail.
