CH 25

Swordseong (劍成) Cheonyuseong (1)

Jinhyuk slowly turned his head.

Then there stood a man with a very old looking sword.

It's a known sword.

A replica version of the relic that was on display at the National Museum of Korea.

It was the 'iron sword with Qianlong (乾隆) engraved'.

That's right.

It must mean that this guy is a leech who has been challenging himself all along in the Tower of Trials.

He glanced up and down Jinhyuk's opponent.

sharp impression.

A solid body of over 185 cm.

It is like a well-forged sword.

'In the game, I didn't know he was like a psychopath, but in real life he looks fine.'

No, to be precise, what model go away. It was hard to find a face that looked like a fragment with a perfectly proportioned body on TV.

face is not worth it face value.

Aren't you really tired of it?

Jinhyuk clicked his tongue.

Is it not enough to chase after you like that in the game?

Now I'm chasing to the ruins of Hadada.

Seriously, if I go to Hell, I'm the one who'll follow you there.

That annoying face...isn't that the only way you look at me?

The man clenched his teeth.

At the same time, a terrible life bloomed.

Oh right.

I was very upset with this guy being ignored.

From the standpoint of the opponent, it was just annoying, so I forgot.

No, think about it with common sense. Some crazy guy is chasing you all the way here? And if you lose like that, now do something like admitting it. Please.

"It will be different this time. As long as I start all over again, I can't be pushed by you."

it doesn't make sense

Exactly, it didn't work from the beginning.

Jinhyuk sighed a little and activated the 'eyes of truth'.

[The skill activation is canceled due to the level difference.]

Of course there will be a difference in level.

But it doesn't matter.

'Song of Battle' to the existing luck stats and adaptation stats

Because it was in a state where additional stats were obtained due to the effect.

[The stat effect has neutralized the level difference.]

[Looks through the target's status window.]

[Copy Condition: Cheon Yuseong believes that he is stronger than anyone when it comes to swords. Hit him down with the 'sword' he's most confident of.]

A longer stat window appeared than anyone I've seen so far.

[Did you recognize me through the eyes of a predecessor? Besides, he was stalking me to a point where he was looking through me, so I understood to some extent that he had followed me all the way here.]

'It's heavenly... .'

It was such a name.

Tower of Trials.

the deceased who was there.

Cheon Yoo-seong was one of the worst players Jin-hyuk knew.

I was also very good at it.

In fact, the people who shared the sword with him even called Cheon Yu-seong a sword-seong (劍成) and looked down in awe. He was also feared as a sword demon (劍鬼).

But.

'It was like this, too.'

Jinhyuk read the status window with a sad expression.

Level, skill, unique ability, stats.

Others would have bubbled in their mouths if they had seen it, but that's all.

Of course, he admits that he has become stronger than before.

The build-up to become a swordsman was flawless.

however.

'It's the same with me.'

The gap has not narrowed in the slightest.

Rather, it happened more

If you dare to fight, I won't stop you, is that okay? I'm not the only one here, am I?

Theresa, who responded to Cheonyuseong's death, was approaching at a fast pace.

At most two or three minutes.

After that, it becomes a two-to-one situation, not one-to-one.

"You're a saint you made a useless companion."

Well .

I think I need to make two corrections. First, Teresa is not a colleague.

Our interests are aligned, so we'll be together for a while.

And secondly.

I don't carry anything useless.

As soon as Jinhyuk finished speaking, he heard the sound of breaking the wind.

Boo woo woo!

A silver shield flew away.

The energy that gently rises on the surface.

A weapon with divine power.

ね!?

Cheon Yu-seong hurriedly swung his sword.

kwaaang!

managed to get it off.

However, the shock was so great that a thick tendon protruded from his forehead.

'Cause don't be so arrogant

Why don't you run away before the ashes come? It's not too late yet.

...I won't let a saboteur interfere in our confrontation.

[Chean Meteor activates Lv5 'Battlefield Selection'!]

A transparent film began to spread around Cheon Yu-seong's body.

In line with that, the corners of Jinhyuk's mouth went up as well.

also.

It responds immediately to a gentle scratch.

A unique barrier that allows you to choose the battlefield you want, 'Battlefield Selection.'

It was the most powerful barrier among the barriers possessed by Cheonyuseong.

huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo

A new space of about 50 m has been constructed.

I caught my eye on the training center, with smashed marble and leftover byeokgok steps scattered around.

'It's a manly place.'

It's amazing how consistent the character is... If it's a talent, it's a talent.

Cheon Yuseong held the sword with both hands.

I can't get any help from outside anymore.

A world cut off by barriers.

Cheon Yu-seong immediately used the following skill.

[Cheon Yuseong activates Lv5 'Ilgito (一騎討)'!]

[All stats of Heavenly Planet are increased by 10%!]

[['Song of the Battlefield' received from Teresa]

The effect disappears.]

[All stats are reduced by 10%.]

Status messages that appear one after another.

It was the result of being forced to nerf due to 'battlefield selection' and 'ilgito'.

Because of these two skills, Cheon Yu-seong confidently waged a fight.

Because of these two skills, Jinhyuk did not avoid fighting.

' caught.'

The unfavorable situation had its own reasons.

A special condition attached to 'fusion'.

-If the situation becomes overwhelmingly more unfavorable than the original copying condition, the copying conditions will be modified accordingly.

And in this case... .

[The copy conditions have been corrected.]

[Achievement of pre-copying and post-conditions is acceptable.]

[Complete the condition within the time limit of 10 minutes.]

conditions have changed.

By first copying the ability and then fulfilling the condition.

I will copy the unique abilities of Cheonyuseong.

[Copies the unique ability 'Sword Song (S)'.]

['Song of Swords': Increases your understanding of swords by 200%. The body naturally seeks an efficient sword path, and the senses of the whole body become extremely sensitive.]

[This is one of the essential abilities to receive the title of Swordsman (劍成).]

Until now, if it was a fight that relied on experience and reflexes.

From the moment you acquire this ability, you will understand the sword and become one with the sword.

Whoops.

Jinhyuk grabbed the dagger in his right hand.

And the left index finger flicked towards Cheonyuseong.

Come...don't pretend you have it!

Cheon Yoosung bit his molars.

At the same time.

kwaang!

He kicked the ground and rushed to Jinhyuk.

The distance narrowed in an instant.

fast.

However.

Kaaan!

Jinhyuk passed the attack aimed at his side.

The next attack followed immediately.

Kaang! Kaaan!

In less than a second, several sword strikes came and went.

All of them were desperate for only the vital points.

right then

Cheon Yu-seong's face was distorted more harshly than before.

"Now what kind of Excellent grade?"

Huh? What?

Don't pretend you don't know! Your main specialty is not melee, but medium-range. Why is it that you're fighting with a single dagger!

Because he had been fighting terribly, Cheon Yoo-seong also knew Jin-hyuk's style.

The fact that I enjoy fighting at a distance rather than melee.

That's right.

That's correct though.

For now, I think this will suffice.

You can't use anything else unless you press it with a sword.

Above all, since I got the song of the sword, I was able to deal with it with just one dagger.

Of course, all of this is just a story from Jinhyuk's point of view.

From the standpoint of the party, Cheon Yoo-seong, of course, there is no choice but to be angry.

I'll kill you!

The enraged Cheonyuseong swung his sword.

Kaang!

Kang! Kaka Kaka Kaka!

dozens of times... No, there were hundreds of siege battles.

'How the hell did this happen?'

As time passed, Cheon Yu-seong became less and less understanding of this situation.

A battlefield optimized for you.

Besides, isn't the opponent giving up on his special skills and playing close-knit?

All circumstances were overwhelmingly favorable.

Of course I thought I could win... .

The tight balance was never broken.

And there was only one reason why this happened.

'Are you using swordsmanship?'

It is not simply an imitation or imitation.

Sophistication felt even through the ages.

In addition, an unprecedented level of anomaly that pierces through the middle. To be honest, I was amazed.

Cheon Yu-seong opened the distance and took a deep breath.

It's because of the fact that a lot of skills were activated in a short period of time.

I don't know what he did, but it's amazing. To learn this level of swordsmanship without knowing it.

I've been learning hard lately. It's more fun than I thought.

Exactly a little while ago.

That's what I learned from you too.

If I said that, that guy's eyes would turn around.

At Jin-hyuk's death, Cheon Yu-seong's face hardened.

Yeah. Even if you gave up your organs, it was too much for me to deal with simply with swordsmanship. It's my mistake of being relaxed against a monster like you.

have to admit

The fact that you can never win if you don't do your best.

In an instant, the air suddenly changed.

A sword that stretches in a straight line.

There.

[Chean Yuseong activates Lv6 'Soul Sword Ki (追魂劍气)'!]

Pants... !

A blue mana was formed along the sword.

It was 'Sword Qi (劍气)', the ultimate intention to cut everything it touches.

Damn. Isn't that too much? You're even using Sword Qi against a beginner who just learned a sword?

From the premise that you're a beginner, it's bullshit that's not even worth listening to.

Cheon Yoosung dismissed it with a single blow.

kwaang!

And scattering Sword Qi, they rushed towards Jinhyuk.

Jinhyuk looked at Cheon Yoosung and the dagger alternately.

'Will the days be over if I fight this?'

No matter how strong a sword is, Sword Qi can't stand it.

It's not called the strongest for nothing.

if so .

make it

Able to face Sword Qi.

No, the ability to surpass Sword Qi.

Jinhyuk grabbed the black pill placed on the rock.

I will fuse 'Song of the Sword' and 'Mahondan (魔魂丹)'.

huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo

As soon as the words were finished, a dazzling light came out.

[Fusion successful!]

[You have acquired the unique ability 'Sword Grave (SS)'!]

['Sword Graveyard': Increases your understanding of swords by 500%. The body searches for the optimal sword path, and the sensations of the whole body also reach the highest level.]

[This is one of the essential talents to receive the title of Sword Demon (劍魔).]

[The copied ability is stored in 'Memory of the World'.]

If possible .

I wanted to use this ability after absorbing 'Frozen Tears'.

However.

If the opponent is overworked, we have no choice but to send out something suitable for it.

[The unique ability 'Sword Graveyard' appears.]

The one who saw the tip of the sword became a swordseong (劍成), but the one who broke the tip became a swordsman (劍魔).

The strongest and worst talent.

So, no one remembers him.

All that was left was a single sword stuck in the nameless graveyard.

This is a story about that madou.

kukuku kuk kuk!

An unimaginably horrific aura began to stir.

The marble powder on the floor slowly rose into the air.

right at that moment.

[Lv1 'Black Moon Night' is activated!]

A black moon fell over Jinhyuk's dagger.

The jet-black crescent moon that dyes even the light of the barrier.

"Wow, what kind of absurd power "

Cheon Yuseong, who was running, hardened as it was.

This.

Dangerous.
