Chapter 21

Glaskan Subjugation Battle (1)

The longer you play ‘Sylvania’s Failed Swordsman’, the more its true nature is revealed.

There are unexpected intentions in lightly passing elements, and there are special episodes that make you wonder if this scenario is hidden in these parts, and you also realize things you didn’t know about characters who have already left the show.

If you are immersed in a world that has been created with a lot of effort, including students, faculty, and characters from outside groups, the main scenario will soon be completed, and there was a charm that made you play the next episode out of disappointment.

It’s indescribable how unfair it is for me to be one of the few in such a wide and rich world who is forced to leave at the very beginning of a scenario, but that’s not what I want to say right now.

In the first place, it is a self-evident fact that as there are many characters, they cannot all be given equal weight.

If someone is significant and influential, it is natural for someone to remain on the sidelines and disappear to the back of the stage.

However, I have felt a sense of discomfort at least once.

Act 2 boss ‘Investigator Glast’, Act 3 boss ‘Lucy the Awakened’, Act 4 boss ‘Matriarch Crepin Rosstaylor’, etc. The importance given to each character varies, but it is clear that all the bosses in each chapter were portrayed with great effort. did.

He had various motivations and backgrounds to stand there and block the main character, Tailly.

Each person’s values were different, their powers were all different, and in the end, their aesthetics had a strange power that made you nod your head.

However, there is no feeling of excitement as much as the Act 1 boss Yenica Palover.

Among all the bosses that captivate the player with their own aesthetics and dazzling abilities, Yenica Palover was the only one who showed no ‘individuality’.

The sight of him falling for the whispers of Velosper, a high-ranking dark spirit, and taking over the student center, unleashing Velosper’s ‘berserk’ on all the spirits that contracted with him, and gazing into the approaching darkness from the top of Nail Hall... .It certainly may have had an impact.

The discrepancy from the always positive and energetic way he played around the school cannot but leave a strong impression on the player.

But that was it.

The Glaskan subjugation episode that marks the end of Act 1 is the moment where Tailly first realizes the Way of the Sword Saint and is the episode where he succeeds in cutting down the highest ranking spirit.

Tailley, who is gradually beginning to understand the way of the sword, cuts off Glaskan’s right arm, signaling the raising of the curtain on the epic story.

The level of difficulty itself was quite high, so I remember looking up a lot of strategies when I first played. Pepe... Was this a strategy used by someone who used the nickname? It’s such an old memory now that it’s meaningless.

Naturally, since all scenarios focus on Tailley’s growth, Yenika is relatively underprioritized. Therefore, many parts of the narrative about her are pushed to the background and ultimately become unknown.

I fell for the cruel whispers of Velosfer, a high-ranking dark spirit, and was completely consumed by the darkness in my heart... I ended up passing on such a vague explanation.

However, the ‘Failure Swordsman of Sylvania’ that I know of never wastes such an important character like this.

There must have been some intention or something they wanted to say in selecting Yenica Palover as the final boss of Act 1 rather than other characters.

However, in the end, no one found out that the intention was absurd. As a fan, I analyzed it quite passionately and thought about it a lot, but I was lacking many clues.

Were there any parts that were cut out during the production or inspection process?

When I thought about it that way and finished it, I felt really uncomfortable. Well... I couldn’t help it though.

“I guess I’ll have to build a cabin too.”

The next day, I repeated those words as if I had decided.

I also gained stamina. Using magic, processing materials also speeds up to a certain extent. We have started accumulating a certain amount of food, so we don’t have to worry about eating tomorrow.

We need to start laying the groundwork to survive in this forest in the long term.

I cannot say with empty words that the wooden shelter used as my resting place is durable. Although maintenance is ongoing, I honestly can’t say that it is a product that is very useful compared to the labor that goes into it.

Unless you live in a house with walls and a roof, heating efficiency is very poor. Although the weather is nice now in spring, I have to think about the fact that I have to spend three winters in this forest. Such crumbling shelters alone cannot guarantee a stable living environment.

In addition, for items that require long-term projects, such as wooden cabins, the production skill increases exponentially.

This will be a good opportunity to increase the level of growth in daily life skills that have been slowly lagging. The mastery level of dexterity is blocked at level 10, and even in the case of ‘design’ skills, which are relatively difficult to increase proficiency compared to other skills, the growth is very sluggish.

In the end, since this character, Ed Ross-Taylor, is born with talent in the production field, there is no choice but to solve the problem in a way that the growth of that ability level has a positive effect on the other ability level.

If you have specialized talent, it is no different in reality or in games that it is advantageous to utilize that talent.

“Hmm... Now that I think about it, you said you’ve already captured the mid-boss of Act 1...”

It seems like there aren’t as many variables in the progression of the scenario as you might think.

I was heartbroken once when Lucy beat up Tailly during the joint combat practice, but looking at the news since then, it doesn’t seem to have been a factor that would have caused as much trouble in the progress as expected.

I also heard the news that ‘Nosy Elvira’ from the Pension Department, the mid-boss in Act 1, was beaten by Tailley, and I also caught with my ears the fact that Princess Fenia was hanging out in the student council and being mentioned among the faculty and staff as a candidate for the next student council president.

■Page 3. Nail Pavilion Corridor Battle Achievement Condition:

Reach the combat practice area where Spiritist Yenika is located.

Appearing Enemy:

High-ranking Fire Spirit Tarkan * 1

※ The shape of the entrance road changes depending on the choice you make after defeating the Spirit Beast Altar. Let’s focus because the junction passes quickly.

※ The key is to continuously deal damage to the tail using the elemental slash learned in Act 1, Chapter 9. If you cut off the tail, you can use elemental slash again to attack the head.

※ Let’s avoid the ignition magic and tail whip that come flying periodically. When repeatedly damaged, the bleeding and burn states overlap.

※ During the battle, there is a cut scene where the pillars of the Severn Corridor collapse. If you fall on a pillar, you will die instantly, so be sure to avoid it.

■Page 4. Final battle achievement condition:

Destroy the summoning ceremony of the highest-ranking dark spirit ‘Glaskan’.

Appearing Enemies:

High-ranking Dark Spirit Velosper * 1

Elementalist Yenica Palover * 1

※ Phase 5 is only an event cutscene, so it is effectively the final battle. Let’s proceed with the mindset of using up all remaining consumables.

※ If you attack Yenika right away while she is constructing a summoning ceremony, the damage will be reflected by the ‘Dark Curtain’.

If you attack Velosper first and make him unconscious, the ‘Dark Curtain’ will be removed for a short period of time and you can deal damage to Yenika. However, be careful of the counter-attack magic that Yenika casts.

※ If Fenia, Princess of Love, who builds the defense formula, dies, a bad ending will appear immediately. Let’s continue to check our physical condition.

※ You become immune to Belosper’s ‘Curse of the Blood World’ if you meet ‘Romantic Adele’ in Phase 1. However, be careful as not all punitive forces are immune.

■Page 5. Conditions for subjugating Glaskan: Subdue the right arm of ‘Glasskan, the highest-ranking dark spirit.’

Appearing Enemy:

Highest Dark Spirit Glaskan (Right Arm) * 1

※ This is an event scene. All you have to do is enjoy it.

※ Afterwards, ‘Sword Seongsik’ will be added to the skill tab. If you reach the proficiency level, you will receive generous bonus abilities, so be sure to practice whenever you have time.

Others

※ If you do not reach Phase 5 and subdue Yenica Palover before dawn, ‘Intact Glaskan’ will be summoned and a bad ending will appear. Let’s move busily.

This is summarized information.

It seems like there are a lot of beginners who are stamping their feet because they can’t get past the first act. We’ve selected and summarized only the important information, so make sure to check it before entering the final battle.

Good luck!

The sound of an owl hooting somewhere in a dark forest.

The sound of insects stinging in the grass as if they were forming a chord to match it, or the sound of leaves occasionally swaying in the wind.

If you listen to it, the forest in the middle of the night has its own charm.

While looking at the crackling bonfire, I suddenly feel sentimental when I look up at the starry sky.

When I look at the countless stars that are like salt, I get a meaningless thought about how insignificant and insignificant what I am currently experiencing is from the perspective of this wide universe.

Additional thoughts accordingly.

─There is no guarantee that everything in the world will go according to ‘business’.

That obvious fact was so surprising that I burst out laughing again.

I have adapted quite well to this life. However, it is unacceptable to completely lack a sense of crisis.

I gathered myself again and threw the poker I was holding into the bonfire. It was time to end the day.

I stretched and quietly laid down in the shelter.

I hope tomorrow will be a peaceful day as well.
