episode_0202

Yoo Se-ha and Ronin looked at each other in silence.

The audience’s loud cheers…

The sound of drums that boosts the morale of warriors…

The beautiful and captivating voices of the dancers…

Neither of them could hear it.

They only look into each other’s eyes.

death and life.

The feeling of moving over that boundary dominated Yoo Se-ha’s whole body.

‘… hot.’

Cold at the same time.

An indescribable flame.

It was as if a cold, bluish flame was spreading from my heart to my entire body.

One breath.

And the moment you inhale half of it.

The Ronin’s sword was drawn.

Immediately afterwards, he disappeared.

Probably, if it had been a campaign in the past, there would have been no reaction, no awareness, and no indication of how it was wielded.

However, basic proficiency is guaranteed through .

The buff given by the knight and Moon Bo-ra made it possible to at least recognize it.

Lastly, the new power and high-rank skill I had recently acquired allowed me to respond.

[The trick of ‘dissuade the species’ is automatically activated when the owner is in crisis.]

[Your genius shines.]

[The teachings of ‘Manryu Gwijong’ flow through your whole body.]

[Your understanding of martial arts increases rapidly.]

A kind of mental awakening.

Here, an indefinable and outrageous genius blossomed in Yoo Se-ha.

The emotions that throbbed deep in my heart dominated my whole body.

In some ways it was fear, and in other ways it was joy.

The blood flowed vigorously.

As a result, my body temperature rose as if it were being heated, and my head became wet and my eyes blinked as if I was paralyzed.

My vision began to narrow.

A darkness that often took the form of a tunnel enveloped the surroundings.

Ironically, the more it happened, the more clearly the Ronin’s sword was recognized in Yu Se-ha’s eyes.

“… … !”

And the ronin’s narrow eyes wavered at this sight.

I was shocked to see Yoo Se-ha reacting.

The ronin was actually confident of his victory.

Until 0.1 second ago.

‘… what… !’

I knew as soon as I saw him that he was a genius.

I also knew that he was a genius to the point of being called a star.

But even so, it is a flower that has not yet bloomed.

I thought I would collapse without being able to react.

However, the extreme time is only less than 1 second.

Yu Se-ha has risen to a level close to evolution.

The speed was so incredibly fast.

The ronin laughed for a moment.

‘… Is this genius?’

It has nothing to do with enlightenment, training, or strength…

It was a product of irrationality itself, divided only into possible and impossible areas.

*

Meanwhile, Yu Se-ha, who recognized the Ronin’s movements, grabbed the [Saint’s Sword] with a bloody nose.

‘There are a total of 4 movement speed abilities on Ronin’s legs.’

[Running like a flash], [Swinging pace].

I don’t know about the other two.

It’s probably an airless skill.

I measured the timing.

Before I knew it, the [Saint’s Sword] in my hand was pursuing only the ultimate pleasure.

at the same time…

Grumble-!

‘White’ flames, which only burst out when he was highly concentrated, were wrapped around the blade of the sword.

Yoo Se-ha doesn’t recognize it.

Looking at him like that, the ronin silently unfolds his sword.

Each other’s new form became a sword and began to move within the time of the realm.

One shot.

The moment I stepped forward, I had a hunch.

‘Can not be done.’

Die.

The Ronin’s sword was faster and more powerful.

The moment they collide, the ronin’s sword, which dodged like a snake, will cut off his head.

‘Think.’

How can I win?

Just increase the speed and power.

With what?

‘fleshy… ‘

Instead of using the killing intent that ensnares the enemy, use the killing intent that increases power.

And the lack of speed…

‘Covered with Ryu Cham.’

[‘Sword Song’ is activated. The power of and skills increases by 300%.]

[‘Ryu Cham’ is activated. This is an abnormal trigger. It is temporarily integrated into the ‘Paecheongeombeop’ through an unusual method. Swordsmanship of a completely different nature is sublimated into your body. It will be canceled immediately.]

[Opportunities for new ‘paths of synthesis’ open up. ‘Eyes of the Inverted Sky’ recognizes this ability. It can be synthesized and released later when the conditions are met.]

Yu Se-ha lowered his sword down.

The slash that first cut off the head of and was transformed into a much more threatening and sharp form.

A ronin looking at a flash of white flame.

There was a subtle smile in his eyes.

It was like a person blessing the birth of a great warrior.

*

Push-!!!

The match was over in an instant.

To most ordinary people, it was a one-second battle that made it impossible to tell what was happening.

The blood spurted like a fountain and sprayed high into the sky.

Clink.

“… Wow.”

I bent my knees.

In the distance, Moon Bo-ra’s voice was heard shouting in surprise, ‘Se-ha!!!’

When I turned my head, there was a large cut on my shoulder, exposing the bone.

So much blood was shed that a puddle of blood formed on the floor.

“Seha, Seha!!”

“… … ”

I looked at Moon Bora and smiled.

It meant it was okay.

It was actually okay.

The match is over.

As evidence, the gimmick of was activated and played at high speed.

The ronin looked back at me.

His hat was cut in half and fell to the floor.

Only then did I see his face properly.

He was a serious-looking man with a neatly trimmed beard.

Here in , the more certain and clear the original appearance, form, language ability, memory, etc., the stronger the heroic spirit was.

The ronin’s appearance now was so clear that no one could believe that he was a ghost.

This meant that he was one of the strongest men in this place.

‘… In reality, pure force is probably the strongest.’

Even in ‘Gosra’, Kwae (快) was always a notorious and powerful enemy among the leaders.

Even if the type changes, that fact will not change.

“… I won.”

“It was great.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a line was drawn on the ronin’s neck.

blood… Instead, the thread of the soul that made up the spirit unraveled and fluttered like a skein of thread.

The ronin cleverly approached him, holding his neck with one hand.

He held out the oriental sword in his hand.

“Take it. You deserve it.”

“… Can you give it to me, really?”

“Black iron.”

“Yes?”

“The name of the sword is Heukcheol. Please treat it well.”

After speaking, the ronin walked away without looking back.

A ronin entering the cage.

He let out a deep breath as he watched his body crumble into dust for the last time.

[The eyes of the heavenly sky defy the laws of heaven.]

[Target: ]

[Obtain ‘Sunbo’ from . This is a level 25 Hero skill. Acquired by dropping to level 3.]

[Speed increases by 3 as an acquisition reward.]

[The Warrior of Pleasure acknowledges you.]

[Fragments of the Quick Sword are permanently absorbed.]

[Understanding and power of all sword techniques based on quick swords and killing swords increase rapidly.]

[The warrior of pleasure says he has never seen a talent like you.]

[Your fame spreads among the fallen. They give you power in the name of sponsorship.]

[Speed increases permanently by 3. Party member Moon Bora’s speed increases by 3.]

‘I got something good from [Sunbo].’

A powerful ‘movement speed’ correction ability that is judged to be the highest level among Hero grades.

I’m sure it will be of great help to me.

I looked at the black iron and put it inside [Slasla].

Immediately after, I smiled as the audience roared with laughter.

[The audience is amazed at your performance. Their support soon becomes strength.]

[Permanently increases your spirit by 1 and your magic power by 1.]

* * *

From then on, the match progressed quickly and fatally.

I also didn’t forget to appreciate Moon Bo-ra’s ‘Hung-eng-ng!’ dance that came after the battle with the ronin.

Third warrior.

This game was also great.

Kang-! Kwaduk-!

bang-!

I struck down the curved sword that was aiming for the side and stopped it.

The island was unusually made up of a soft blue light and was floating.

An afterimage of a sword made entirely of magical power.

It was something that materialized and contained power.

The person who opened the sword was a woman in front, wearing clothes that looked a little cold.

The unique sharp eyes reminded me of Peng Jin-ah, and the way I wielded it reminded me of ‘Vodenov Scylla.’

The woman’s form was blurry compared to the ‘ronin’ she had faced earlier.

Rather, I could see that the opponent was several levels lower level.

‘Still, it’s not easy.’

The characteristic of the third match is fantasy.

The sword wielded by a woman who had reached the level of magic was beautiful but deadly.

Dozens of curved swords appeared in the air according to the trajectory of the swing, mixing the wild grass and the real grass, confusing me.

Definitely not an easy opponent.

But unfortunately for her…

‘It doesn’t reach me.’

Now, I have received all kinds of dogfighting buffs, and my abilities are 1.5 times higher than usual.

The realization I gained while dealing with Kang and Kwae sharpened my sense of existence more than anything else.

[The teachings of ‘Manryu Gwijong’ flow through your hands.]

[The blade of ‘Nothung’ shows off its power.]

[Due to the effect of ‘Nothung’, strength increases by 10%. Cutting force increases significantly. If the opponent is a dragon type enemy. Deals 200% additional damage.]

I took a breath while looking at the swirling curved island.

What I held in my hand was a two-handed sword used by a knight.

I grabbed the Hero grade two-handed sword with one hand and swung it wide.

With just one swing, the entire curved sword was shattered and shattered.

I opened my hands again.

The [Black Iron] that was floating around me spun around and was caught in my hand.

Use various weapons using [Slime’s Warehouse].

I tried it as a practice exercise, but it went fairly well.

[The teachings of ‘Manryu Gwijong’ flow through your hands.]

[The blade of ‘Black Iron’ moves faster than anything else.]

[Speed increases by 10% due to the effect of ‘Black Iron’.]

Sreung-!

Immediately after, my new model disappeared.

A woman flinching in surprise.

Before she knew it, a black iron was pointed sharply at her neck.

[A movement that folds space! Your movements are exciting.]

[‘Sunbo’ is activated. Accelerates by 1.5 times the current speed.]

[This skill consumes a lot of magic power. Please be careful.]

‘I have become stronger.’

Although it was only two fights, I felt that I had grown significantly compared to before I came here.

Anyway, the winner or loser has been decided.

He hinted.

“Are you going to fight more?”

“… … ”

A silent woman.

She looked at me silently,

I was staring at him for too long, so I thought, ‘Are you going to start a fight? ?’ Just as she was thinking, the woman’s face turned slightly red.

… … huh?

“How old are you?”

“… Yes?”

“How old are you?”

“… Uh, I’m 19.”

I answered the unexpected question unexpectedly.

“… You’re younger than I thought. Still, the coming-of-age ceremony must have been completed.”

“… Yes?”

“… It is nothing. I will surrender.”

The woman inserted the curved sword she was holding and handed it over.

I accepted it gratefully.

*

‘Hmm… ‘

Even thinking about it again, I was puzzled.

Why are they suddenly asking my age?

And this question equally applied to the next opponent.

Kugugu, bang!

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!

A vortex of great power.

This… Should I call it sword energy or kitan?

Literally an enormous lump of energy flew at high speed.

It shows a pure yet destructive tendency that is a little different from magical power…

I guessed that there was some special skill, like using through [Stranger God].

“Are you okay?”

And the person who delivered this vicious blow was a small-bodied woman seen in front.

I felt like the technique of throwing something and my actions did not match.

A half-blurred woman similar to a circle.

The skills are probably similar.

If you have the style of a strong older woman with sharp eyes.

This woman had round, gentle eyes like a puppy.

‘It feels a bit like watching Junayong.’

If Joo Na-yong were to be considered an animal, he would be closer to a cute and affectionate puppy.

“If you get hit, you’re dead.”

The woman pointed her sword at me.

In her hand was a small sword about 30cm long.

Unusually, it was engraved in the shape of a dragon with its mouth open.

The fourth match was energy.

The woman, who had reached this level purely with her firepower, was firing indiscriminately at me.

‘I don’t know if this can be called swordsmanship.’

Still, looking at the flying bullet, it was clearly the right type of sword.

A form of small sword energy compressed and united into one.

If you don’t keep your distance, the sword will cut you like a blender.

Well, yes I admit it.

Looking at pure power and firepower, he was the strongest among those he had faced so far.

But that’s only when you get hit.

In reality, it was the easiest of my opponents so far.

I strengthened my legs and quickly accelerated.

Surprised and embarrassed, I fired sword energy indiscriminately, but none of it reached me.

[Powerful agility], [Unstoppable sprint], [Free charge].

[Sunbo], which showed great effectiveness a little while ago, was added to this, giving the user the speed to know what it is to literally fold space.

Sreung-!

“Wow!”

Before I knew it, the [Saint’s Sword] in my hand was touching Ki’s uvula.

“There, surrender… -”

-Ha, surrender. It’s surrender. Don’t cut me! It hurts even if I come back to life! I don’t like being sick!”

“Ah, yes. yes. Calm down.”

Gi cried and politely handed over the small sword in his hand.

I felt a little sorry.

“It’s a weapon called red phosphorus. Please save it.”

“Thank you.”

“… Hey, but… ”

“Hmm?”

“How old are you?”

hmm… … ?

also… … ?

I tilted my head as I watched my body twist.

As I told Hwan, he was surprised when I answered 19.

“Is he that young? ? Three, oh my. Wow, he’s quite a genius. I have never seen such a strong and handsome man at that age.”

“Yes, thank you.”

“Hehe. Excellent… Excellent. Really excellent. It seems likely that the blood flowing through the body will also be excellent. A child born… It will happen… ”

“… … Yes?”

“Si, this is a slip of the tongue. Okay, next time is the last match, so cheer up!”

“Ah, yes… ”

* * *

Yoo Se-ha ends the fourth match on a cliffhanger.

He said, ‘Something strange about the conversation?’ That moment when you tilt your head while saying this.

Moon Bo-ra, who was dancing diligently as a dancer, looked down at this figure in silence.

Her ears were imbued with magical energy and were emitting a bluish glow.

“… … ”

Moon Bo-ra’s cheeks swelled with venom.

The light in both eyes disappeared, giving them characteristic dead eyes.

The necklace around his neck was shining like blood.

finally… …

Hwan and Ki are in awe as they watch Yoo Se-ha heading to the waiting room.

He trembled and glared at the two females.
