[Check this box?]

Ian hesitated for a moment when he touched the third box.

‘Well, it's totally random anyway.... But I hope it comes with a bow or a magic wand or something. ’

Ian nods after finishing his brief thought.

“Yes, I'll take that. ”

[You have completed your weapon selection.]

A weapon that rises in the air with a message.

Unfortunately, it wasn't the kind of weapon Ian wanted.

"What is this? The Great Sword...? ’

A huge, luminous dagger appeared in front of Ian's eyes that was comparable to the great sword of Helheim.

As Ian grabs the handle of the Great Sword, I remember the message again.

[You selected the "Spirit King's Judgment Sword" weapon.]

And with the message, a black sword with a white glow appeared and a dazzling figure appeared.

Ian swallowed a false wind without my knowledge.

“Phew…! ”

It was because the Great Sword looked so beautiful.

The white sword and golden embroidery embossed the atmosphere was very luxurious.

Ian instinctively checked the information on the item but was disappointed.

All options were sealed.

Fortunately, there was still some weapon attack left.

What kind of Great Sword attack is 1500? Crazy...? This must be a minimum Legendary rank item. ’

And while Ian was thinking about things, there was a vision of Eclipse next to him.

[You chose the Great Sword. I don't know if I can use the Judge Blade properly with a hideous body... but I'm begging you.]

Ian turns his gaze toward Eclipse and asks.

“What should we do now? ”

Eclipse continues.

And his description was pretty long.

[Our Selamus warriors are ranked in five stages in total, depending on their combat abilities. The lowest rating will be class D, divided by C, B, A and S.]

He gives a few moments to say,

[From now on, a virtual Selamus warrior with the same conditions as you will appear. High rank warriors will appear one step at a time from Class D.]

Ian asked.

“If you have the same grade as me, what are your combat abilities? ”

Eclipse nods.

[A Selamus Warrior will appear with all stats set just like yours.]

Ian sighs in relief.

‘If the stats are exactly the same... I'll chew everything out. ’

It was the confidence I could have because I had never thought that one control in virtual reality was behind anyone else.

“I see. Keep explaining. ”

Eclipse opens his mouth again.

[I don't know what rank you can beat... but the rank you have succeeded in winning will be set to your rank, and the Gateway will then be adjusted to suit that rank.]

“Aha... ”

Ian felt the battle shame boil from the depths of his heart.

If I'm not an S, who's gonna get an S? ’

The penalty for picking out a sword that I had not even used has not been taken care of.

I was just interested in new combat conditions that I had never experienced before.

‘Well, I've used it a lot in other virtual reality games. ’

Eclipse continues.

[Let's begin with the description of the next Gateway after your rating.]

“I understand.”

Ian looks confident, and Eclipse smiles.

[I beg your pardon. I hope Caesar's eyes don't disappoint me.]

Ian turns his head and sees Kazar looking at Ian with an interesting look on the outside of the arena.

If you don't pass the lower ranks, Caesar will ignore you even more, won't he? ’

On the other hand, Ian became more willing to try to get an S rank and think that Kaisar's attitude might be slightly different.

[Let's begin.]

The blue light fades away from the visions of Eclipse and slowly appears in place.

And the light soon became a robust adult male in shape.

He had a weapon like Ian's.

We can beat him, right? ’

Ian rolls the tail of his mouth and grabs the sword.

And the next moment, he leaps forward like a shot.

‘It's a front-runner.’

A large sword that cannot be controlled without both hands because of its heavy weight.

Ian bends like a bow and swings his sword, pulling it from behind his right shoulder.

Cau-!

A two-piece dagger with a heavy iron screech.

Selamus' warrior relaxes and attempts to counter Ian's sword.

‘I knew it. ’

Attacking with a Great Sword is inevitably a big move.

So it was also a difficult weapon to handle because it was easy to get hit by the counter if all attacks were not carefully taken care of.

The Selamus Warrior, who raised his sword to stop Ian's attack, swooped straight into Ian's chest...

Kaga River -!

Ian twists the path of the sword he was striking and pushes away the opposing team's sword.

“Suck!”

The next moment, Ian jumped into the air with a short paralysis.

Ian relaxes away from the sword, using his recoil to push it back into the ground, and moves toward the back of the Selamus warrior.

Now it's my turn! ’

Counter to Counter.

Ian, who landed lightly, raised his diagonally short, low sword like he was lying on the ground.

Glug-ug-!

Though he moved quickly, the Mancellamus warrior slashed his side long and frowned again.

Ian also fixes his sword and starts focusing on the opposing team.

‘I did less damage than I thought. I'm pretty good at taking my abilities with me. ’

Ian is the most agile of all combat abilities.

The opposing Pokémon's movements are extremely agile, consistent with the stat.

Jerbuck- Jerbuck-

Ian and Selamus Warriors move in small steps to target the opponent's holes.

The expression of the Selamus warrior was blank, while Ian was very serious.

It's been a really long time since I fought this man-to-man battle with only control, without any other advantages or disadvantages.

Second to the success of the quest, this battle itself was very enjoyable.

Shhh -!

The barrage of a Selamus warrior that flies through silence for a short time.

Ian's rapidly reacting hands start dancing around in response to the opposing Pokémon's attacks.

Boom, boom, boom!

Knowing that one big move could bring a huge risk, they continued to exchange short and concise workshops.

After a short while, a dull sound echoes through the air.

Yeah!

You quickly twist your body to avoid a proper attack, but you are struck by one shoulder on the sword.

Ian takes a step back.

‘Hoo, it's definitely been too long. It's awkward. ’

He knows the head, but as his body slowly reacts, Ian grunts inside.

‘You have to use your center of gravity well, but the balance keeps falling. ’

Peek-a-boo!

Continuous Workshop Discharge.

But as the search began to get longer, Ian began to find a sense.

You're just gonna keep jabbing and staring at the liver, aren't you? ’

Ian rolls his lip up, watching the target continue to take only the steady motion of using the Dagger.

‘You're making a mistake. ’

With a defensive combat stance, Ian was able to find it relatively easily.

Ian points his finger at the target.

“Are you going to keep looking at me like that? Let's start attacking them properly. ”

The opposing Pokémon doesn't think taunt will work because they're obviously hypothetical, but the opposing Pokémon starts charging in, even if it has been taunted.

Ian, who held the handle of the Great Sword in one hand and drooped to the ground.

If you don't fix the sword quickly and stop it, you'll get what you want, but Ian is relaxed.

"Shall we gamble a little? ’

Ian flew forward with his gaze fixed on a white sword that was swarming towards his forehead.

“ …! ”

The expression of the Selamus Warrior shivers slightly because he was a bit surprised by the unexpected move, but he uncertainly lowers his sword.

Whoo-hoo!

However, his great sword tore through the air leaving nothing but a void.

“Farewell, my friend! ”

Ian makes every effort to turn his sword across, avoiding the falling sword.

Whoo-hoo!

Ian didn't even hold the Great Sword with both hands.

With the handle of the great sword in your right hand, you swing it with all your might with your hanging sword.

Literally backless.

A dangerous attack that will reveal all its vulnerabilities as soon as the attack fails.

However, if the attack succeeded, the story was different.

Kudeu-Boom!

Ian's Great Sword slammed into the back of a Selamus warrior.

A Selamus warrior who has been completely defenseless and has given the impression of a massive attack.

“Cough!”

I missed the sword I was holding, and he slumped to the ground.

Ian grins and raises his sword at the target.

“The Great Sword is used for this flavor. ”

Such a weapon is difficult to accomplish due to its large movements, but it can deal enormous damage just by hitting it with one large attack.

If Ian had just succeeded, he could have done more than ten times as much damage as he would normally do in the same stat area.

Ian mutters, staring at the target.

“Hey, you must still have some life left... Are you going to stay down? ”

A Selamus Warrior that slowly rises at the end of Ian's words.

Soon, however, he vanished into thin air, and the vision of Eclipse reappeared.

Even-even-even-

After applauding, Eclipse opened his mouth with a satisfied expression.

[Amazing. I was really surprised that I had a better sense of combat than I expected.]

With his sincere compliment, Ian replied with a cheerful expression.

“Hehe, the Great Sword is a fascinating weapon. ”

In response, Eclipse smiles.

[Oh... You know something. Yes, the Great Sword is the symbol of a brave warrior.]

Ian laughs as he looks at the dagger on Eclipse's back.

‘By the way, his weapon was the Great Sword. ’

Eclipse continues.

[The sword is not called King of all worlds.] The sword is the foundation of all weapons.]

Ian nodded and replied.

“Eclipse is right. I agree.”

After a while, the sword in Ian's hand disappears into the air like a mirage.

Ian asked with an interesting face.

“Wow, does the weapon change every time? ”

Eclipse nods.

[Yes. Too bad you can't use the Great Sword?]

Eclipse thinks Ian's primary weapon was the Great Sword.

He would, too. Ian was too skilled to use the Great Sword.

But Ian didn't regret it at all.

“No, it's actually kind of fun. ”

Eclipse disappears, thinking Ian's confidence is a bluff.

[Indeed... I'll see if I can keep that confidence.]

Eclipse disappears into the air with a chuckle, and then another five black boxes appear.

At the same time, a system message appeared in Ian's view.

[You have successfully defeated a Class D Selamus Warrior.]

[You have been overwhelmed in no time, so skip C rank.]

“ …? ”

Ian's eyes slightly widened in the unexpected message.

The message continued.

[Please select a weapon for battle. All weapons used in previous battles will be excluded.]

Ian snorts in his heart.

‘Choose not. You don't even show me what.... ’

But the next moment, Ian was taken aback.

It was because black boxes faded and different types of weapons appeared there.
