thousand eyes
‘I have to collect 1,000 karma with this fight now.’
Hyeonjun gnawed at the back of the three-eyed noll and went wild. These deformed three-eyed gnolls pose no great threat to him. If you block them from behind, you will be able to kill them all with ease.
Hyeon-joon tested all sorts of things, such as spinning his body in circles, extremely lowering his posture, and conversely raising his center of gravity very high. Even things that were taboo in swordsmanship were tried without hesitation. At the same time, unnecessary things for movement were cut, and only useful things were sucked in and newly established.
Hyeon-joon’s violent movements, like a storm, gradually began to be refined and concise. It was the same as Longsword 1’s swordsmanship, and it was the same as Anton’s swordsmanship. However, there were too many postures and movements to describe the movement as a single swordsmanship.
Hyeon-jun’s mind fell into a trance and was only immersed in his movements. Suddenly, the thought of earning karma disappeared. How his body moves, how his sword swings. And he moved forward and forward, constantly calculating how his own movement interacted with the enemy’s movement.
The speed was so fast that the adventurers had to grit their teeth and follow. In the end, the moment came when the three-eyed play blocked the gap between the adventurers and Hyeon-jun, and Hyeon-jun’s back was exposed. However, Hyeon-jun had already dug under the wooden fence, and there was not a single three-eyed gnoll in front of him.
“Wow!”
Shouts of victory poured from the wooden fence. Hyeon-jun dug into the enemy’s rear and finally reached the front of the fence. A huge number of three-eyed games have died, and those that remain are only enough to stop even without Hyeon-jun.
As Hyeon-jun started to turn sideways on the wooden fence and kill the remaining three-eyed nolls, cheers erupted once more.
Before long, not a single three-eyed game was left standing outside the fence. Those that remain are barely breathing, and even those who will die soon.
“June! June! June! June!”
Hyeonjun suddenly came to his senses at the shout and looked around. Hyeonjun, who only then realized what he was doing, stood there silently and licked his lips.
‘I felt good, but my concentration was broken.’
Then, looking at the wooden fence, he raised his sword high.
“Wow!”
Shouts broke out again, and Hyeon-jun began to take his breath away in search of the three-eyed nolls who were still alive. The adventurers who followed him were exhausted and panting, but they started killing the living after him. Hyeonjun deep down wanted them to just stay still, but he didn’t say anything. It would be a chore to say such a thing in this situation. In the meantime, the entrance opened, and adventurers and guards rushed out and raised Jun loudly.
“As expected, Jun the Nol Slayer!”
“The 50-man slash is the best! Killing so many by yourself!”
“Gnoll Slayer!”
“June of 50-man slash!”
“…….”
Hyeon-joon shuddered with shame, but no one could understand what he was thinking and surrounded him, lashing out at him with language.
Hyeonjun polished his sword, feeling the solitude of a modern man among people from another world. There was so much blood and grease that I couldn’t even wipe it off. Even thinking about it, I can’t believe that I killed so many three-eyed gnolls. I killed this many in one go, and the longsword blade is a mess because I’ve dealt with it harshly. Now, instead of grinding it with a whetstone, it is time to leave it to a blacksmith or buy a new one.
It was a battle fought with a hazy mind as if in a dream.
However, in the process, one combat system created by Hyeon-jun remained clear.
It will be a huge force affecting the battle itself. If it is developed endlessly, it will go beyond the realm of swordsmanship and deal with the movements that humans can perform, and furthermore, it will enable them to clearly read the opponent’s movements.
However, Hyeon-jun has not thought of that far yet, and he is just thinking that he can save the karma needed to buy swordsmanship and combat skills. Because he couldn’t learn swordsmanship through the proper process and bought it at a shop, he didn’t even know how great he had made.
I was in no position to say anything when I saw that Carl had made an obstacle by stacking hides. However, there is one obvious difference. If Carl just showed off his small wit and didn’t get anything from it, Hyeon-joon solidly put the cornerstone of a huge tower that could go up to the sky.
It is not something anyone can say that growth has been accelerated by the blessing of the goddess. Hyeon-Jun, who had lived a life far from fighting all his life and never had a chance to check his talent, but his talent, which shines like a star and is terrifyingly upright, which is hard to believe was given to an insignificant human being, stood out. The ceiling made with Longsword 1 and Combat Skills (Basic), his sharp talent instantly shattered through battle and soared high. It is truly a beautiful flower that bloomed after sucking blood and death.
The protection of the goddess only accelerates growth. It is impossible to create a talent that did not exist and to elevate him to a realm that he could not reach even if he tried his whole life. that
That is the role of the store. It’s because they just plug their abilities into their bodies and brains. If that is the culprit, it will take constant effort to show proper movement. It is also the reason why he was unable to grasp his own talent, overconfident in the store’s ability after the dramatic experience of body enhancement.
‘It’s fun because you’re digging into swordsmanship. I need to buy Mana Affinity 1 and buy Longsword 2 quickly.’
And it is also the reason why I think such an idiot even after building a foundation that cannot be compared to longswords 1, 2, or 3. As for swordsmanship, from now on, even if I do it step by step, it will grow in an instant.
“Jun, you are resting. We’ll clean it up.”
“okay. I was able to live thanks to you, but I can’t let you take care of it.”
“thanks. Then I’ll stay inside.”
Hyeon-joon accepted the adventurers’ greetings, held their outstretched hands, split the crowd, and went back into the village to sit by the entrance. Then open the status window to check.
[Hyeonjun Kang]
Attribute: Analysis
Protection: Protection of the Goddess of Education and Growth
Karma: 1089
‘It didn’t rise as much as expected.’
Well over a hundred three-eyed play were killed in this battle, of which nearly 60 to 70 were killed by Hyeonjun alone. However, Karma only rose by about 150. Unlike before, the three-eyed knolls are very weak, and there are many deformed ones, so I guessed it, but I regret it.
‘I can still buy Mana Affinity 1!’
Hyeonjun quickly bought 1 Mana Affinity from the store.
‘… what?’
At first, there was no change, but suddenly I recognized a strange sensation. Hyunjoon took a deep breath and tried to move his body. It feels very strange. It feels like being underwater, but without resistance. I had no choice but to speak so vaguely. Because the sensation was similar to touch, but it was a completely new sensation.
Hyeonjun surrendered to that mysterious sensation and closed his eyes. I feel the power passing through him. Hyeonjun, who had been enjoying the new sensations for a while, tried to move them.
‘… … It doesn’t budge.’
Even if Hyeon-Jun thinks of moving Mana and makes up his mind, he completely ignores Hyeon-Jun and just passes by. It doesn’t even accumulate on the body, and there’s not even a handful of mana in the body. Originally, isn’t mana everywhere? It’s in the novel, but why am I not there? Hyeonjun opened the status window.
[Hyeonjun Kang]
Mana 0 / 0 +
Attribute: Analysis
Protection: Protection of the Goddess of Education and Growth
Karma: 89
‘…’
Hyeonjun stared at the new mana item in the status window.
0 / 0 would mean that he has no mana in his body. Hyeon-jun, who couldn’t hide his anxiety from the strong mood and swallowed his saliva, focused his consciousness on the + that appeared next to him.
Karma 0
0 mana
‘…….’
Hyeonjun silently looked at the window that floated up. Then I focused my consciousness on the number next to Karma. The number has risen to 1, but the 0 next to the mana remains the same. Up one, up another… . And it wasn’t until the number next to Karma reached 10 that the number next to Mana changed to 1.
‘Such a crazy goddess!’
She must be a very karmic goddess! I spent a thousand karma and bought mana affinity 1, but I can’t use mana!
‘Wait, I can’t even move. no way!’
Hyeonjun opened the store and hurriedly searched for mana. A huge number of items popped up, and I skimmed through them carefully. Most of them were useless. Because mana is such a versatile power, there are things like mana cooking and mana spearing that you can’t even get a sense of how it works. And while looking at the things posted there, he saw one item and distorted his face. You have 1 mana control. Fortunately or unfortunately, you can live with 100 karma. But the regret is unavoidable.
‘Crazy DLC!’
Hyeonjun gnashed his teeth. When I searched for mana, there were too many miscellaneous items in the list, and it was my fault that I was so immersed in magic that I skipped it lightly. Even if you use karma to increase mana right away, you won’t be able to use it without mana control. Karma! If only there was 11 more karma! However, there is no way that karma that did not exist suddenly arises. Hyeon-jun trembled, unaware that the others were glancing at the sudden change in his expression.
‘I’ll take this opportunity to check.’
Hyeonjun focused and continued to lower the items. It really comes out endlessly. There are also some strange things that you have never heard of. Then I found something quite plausible.
Mana Resistance 1: Rejects mana and resists phenomena caused by mana.
‘Let’s never buy this.’
I bought mana affinity 1 to spend mana, but I can’t buy mana resistance. I checked all the way to the end and saw that the mana control was up to 5, and my mind went blank, but there was nothing that seemed necessary to check further.
‘The price of Mana Affinity 2 is 3000. It’ll turn around.’
Isn’t that too much anyway? Hyeonjun grumbled and started to check what he needed to buy. You need to buy an attribute for 1 mana control, and if you buy magic to use… .
‘The price of magic is still unknown. If you set the price of basic magic to 100, you must have at least 300 karma.’
In addition, Karma is also required to increase mana capacity. The question is, how much karma do you need to be able to use magic? Like an RPG, if you use 100 or 200 magic at once, you have to give up magic right away. The magics listed in the shop were only roughly explained, so I didn’t even know how much mana was consumed. For example, if it takes 100 mana to light a fire the size of a lighter? Then it’s better to just beat the magic. It was right to go all-in on body strengthening and swordsmanship and not even look at magic. You’d have to change 3000 karma to light the lighter three times in a row.
But even so, magic required mana. It was to counter Tahman’s power. No matter what, I had to buy mana. It looks like a beggar.
‘No matter how much, I don’t think I’ll need that much, but I feel like my insides are twisted.’
Hyunjoon let out a sigh. I saw one mana affinity and ran hot, but my pulse was unraveling.
He smiled, then closed his eyes and waved his arms. Suddenly, his complexion hardened and he frowned. Then, with a serious face, I rolled my eyes so hard that I let out a sigh as if I was tired. He looks like a complete madman. Well, it’s understandable even if you’re fighting like that and your mind is strange at least in one place. Well, isn’t he usually a fine and nice guy?
“What the hell are you doing?”
“Gunter.”
“Did you know you look like a complete lunatic right now?”
“I don’t know. Don’t talk to me because I’m weak.”

Hyeonjun grabbed his forehead with one hand and waved his other hand weakly. Seeing that, Gunther thought that he really couldn’t understand this madman. Doesn’t he refuse to be called a good nickname? After killing his enemies like that and walking without a hitch, he now has no energy like a dog slumped over from the heat on a summer day. I was hesitant about whether I should talk about this or not, but suddenly the village started to become noisy. I started hearing sounds coming from the other side, the east side, which leads to Ganga Village.
“what?”
Hyunjoon lifted his head helplessly and looked in that direction. And, startled, he jumped up. The moment Gunter heard the sound, he immediately knew what it was. The sound of metal clashing resonates steadily. It is the sound of soldiers walking in accordance with the ceremony.
“article… !”
And when he saw the horse in the lead and the knight in full plate armor riding on it, Gunther sighed lowly. Hyeonjun was also very nervous and stepped aside. I thought the military would come, but I didn’t think the article would come either. Looking at the three-eyed gnoll, it seemed unlikely that a knight would be needed. However, the lord judged that it was a problem that ordinary soldiers could not solve.
