143 – Beautiful Line
I shook my head and watched the battle of our shelter members in the opposite direction. Aksh*ta, who had become [Giant], Was kicking recklessly at the Skeleton Knight and the surrounding monsters, and it was hard to tell who was the monster.
Although the Skeleton Knight was very powerful, I felt reassured because Lingling, Kim Hyuna, and Hong Seol were tightly guarding Aksh*ta.
In particular, Lingling’s black panther now took on the appearance of an undead, and its abilities were strengthened as well, far exceeding the limits of its species.
It was evident just by looking at the Skeleton Knight’s movement speed and how he was passing by and stabbing his claws.
Besides, there are the devil’s descendants, Euncheol and Lulu, so no one will get seriously hurt.
‘We don’t have to worry about it either. ‘What about there?’
On the other hand, Shelter, led by Ban Kang-jun, was struggling as expected. First of all, the biggest problem was that Ban Kang-jun could not recover from his injury and was not seen.
In addition, Ban Kang-Jun destroyed all the golems he had collected so far in the last battle with the dragon, so he will not be of much help to the shelter right now.
‘Let the 20 golems go over there and help with the defense.’
When we removed the 20 golems placed on our side, returned them to Shelter A, and summoned additional golems and placed them on the outer wall, a familiar magical energy was detected.
Kwakwakwaang!!
The energy was that of a conqueror grandmother who was repeatedly throwing giant fists at the Skeleton Knight, but she was struggling alone on the rooftop. Other people around seemed to have a hard time even dealing with the monsters being dropped from the sky by the transport monsters.
‘Are the acid rain and earthquake characteristics already exhausted?’
Once again, the conqueror grandmother gathered all of her remaining energy and threw out the fist of Musho, who was said to be the strongest of her giants, but that ferocious fist of magical power split in one fell swoop of the Skeleton Knight’s upper part and struck her. Scattered left and right.
‘··· It’s crazy beautiful… How much do you have to swing to get a line like that?’
Even though I was not familiar with swordsmanship, I quickly looked into the explanation of the swordsmanship because of that single cut that was elevated to the level of art.
Ordinary swordsmanship (unique)
– Five-year-old Tom Marshild, who learned the nameless swordsmanship of a nameless knight who stayed in the village for a while, through a lot of effort until he became an adult, sublimated the swordsmanship that was nothing into his own unique swordsmanship. . Although she had far surpassed the level of being called a sword master, she dismissed her swordsmanship as just ordinary and refused to name it, and it ended up being called ordinary swordsmanship.
– After countless swings, his slashes with all his might reached a point where even his sword body was subdued. Any attack containing magical power has the nature of digging into the essence and destroying it.
‘It’s just ordinary swordsmanship, but in reality, he was a man who had reached the end of his sword. Sword body? To the point where it is recognized by the existence of Iran. It was a monster close to Rosherdin.’
Anyway, due to the presence of just one Skeleton Knight, Shelter A’s main attacks kept coming to nothing, and as a result, the Shelter was gradually being surrounded by monsters.
Without any hesitation, I flew next to the Skeleton Knight and stopped at his eye level.
“Nice to meet you, Tom Marshild. Would you like to compete?”
“······.”
He answered without saying a word, holding his sword tightly.
The Skeleton Knight got off his horse, took a stance, and soon blue fireworks bloomed in his eyes.
‘Is this because it is a question and answer dance?’
I also ran straight forward while holding my sword, and when I saw his elegant horizontal slash coming straight at me, I got goosebumps and jumped upwards.
Sagak-!!
‘Crazy!! Did you cut a space?! ‘I was able to do this only after I stepped into the realm of godhood!’
No matter how much of a demigod I was, if I was properly hit by an attack like that, it was clear that regardless of the shield, the damage would be significant. Of course, since the sword’s path was clearly visible to my eyes, I wouldn’t have been hit.
I tried to personally feel his swordsmanship, which was recognized by the Sword God, by sharing swords with him for a while, but it was nothing more than an extremely insane and reckless act.
Pushing the body raised to its maximum limit, moving quickly and dodging his attacks several times.
“······!!”
I soon took over his side and struck his side with the handle of my sword.
Bwak-!!
Kwakwakwakwakwakwaang!!
His armor hit precisely on the pommel area, dented into the shape of a handle, and bounced hundreds of meters away.
This phenomenon occurs because the shield still remains, but when one point is momentarily hit, that area receives a physical shock.
“······.”
He stood up calmly, but it was obvious that he was embarrassed. He had never felt so overwhelmed before in his life.
“Honestly, it’s obvious that even if we stick to our skills, we’ll be pushed back like we did with Rosherdin. I’m not a fool to relax against an opponent stronger than the nerfed Rosherdin.”
“······.”
As his momentum slowed down, I could feel the breakthrough power of the monsters attacking Shelter A dropping sharply. The distance between the troops who were pushing at a certain distance widens in zigzags, and the formation of the monsters, which had been moving like a single organism, quickly collapses.
I waited for a moment for a reaction, but the Skeleton Knight’s feet didn’t seem to fall, so I struck first again. His near-magical swordsmanship and sixth sense were perfect for parrying and blocking my attacks, but that only lasted for a moment.
Bagaak!!
In the end, my ribs, which had exploded along with the armor in my fist, were rolling around on the floor, and my upper body, separated from my lower body, was helplessly facing the sky.
“That’s it. It can’t be helped.”
“······.”
He nodded at what I said, and I struck his head with my giant fist.
Kwajak-!
– Understand and accept all the characteristics of Tom Marshild, Commander of the Knights of Dawn.
I felt my eyebrows twitch as I was still under the influence of the system, but this too would soon go away.
And one word was deeply engraved in his body that penetrated not only the abilities of the Skeleton Knight but also his entire life.
‘Sacrifice’
After accepting that noble karma, I couldn’t move straight away, so I sat down and started meditating.
＜02:19:09＞
Reflecting on his life and looking at all the choices he had made, I nodded my head out loud, occasionally tilted my head, cried, laughed, and just went with the flow. Would I really be able to throw myself into a situation like that without hesitation?
‘I won’t be able to do it… No, I will never do it.’
＜02:19:06＞
I don’t know how much time passed, but when I woke up again, I was able to clearly see the situation of all my allies on the battlefield, as if I was looking down at a board game from above.
‘There is no need to use floating to go up to the sky.’
I immediately felt a person in danger caught by my sixth sense. A wooden-shaped sniper is taking aim behind her in stealth mode.
Fish*t!
I ran out of space and lightly ripped off the guy’s neck and drank a sip of blood.
– Stamina permanently increases by 0.007%.
After that, we ran from our shelter and started to get rid of the Skeleton Knights, and the tour of drinking the blood of monsters from the outskirts ended in less than 20 minutes.
Stamina: 1343(+99)
‘You’ve been killing it like that, but you’ve only managed to get this far. There is a huge difference in efficiency compared to the dragon.’
I burned away the blood on my hands with flames and meticulously counted the remaining number of monsters. And just before the last remaining monster disappeared, he made an offering to the goddess and collected points.
I feel satisfied when I see the daily supply and demand points exceeding 8000. Even if I escaped the influence of the system, there was no need to abandon this well-organized structure altogether.
‘You should use what you can use. Leave the good things behind and throw away the throwaway things…’
I had to do that in order to feed these many people. Of course, it was unknown how many other survivors there would be other than the 400 people who were here now. There was no need for me to take care of all those people.
As always, we join hands with our team members one by one and celebrate that our lives have been extended a little longer. And two hours later, when the remaining time on the stage shows 0, a slightly different death message appears.
A whopping 1.9 Billion people were exterminated in stage 40, and the appearance of the Palaisemoon Dragon in stage 41 reduced the population by nearly 1.5 Billion. Now, the number of 100 million is on the verge of breaking.
But what do you think when you see those numbers?
‘Surprisingly, many people survived. How on earth did you defeat the False Moon Dragon? There won’t be many people with a sacrificial spirit like Ban Kang-jun…’
It was questionable, but somehow, there were still teams that gritted their teeth and held on, and that was a heart-wrenching feeling.
I turned my head and looked at the people in Shelter A spread out on the floor. If it weren’t for me, wouldn’t those people have stubbornly endured and grown even more, like the people who are alive today? Because that’s what I thought.
– Ugh! Really, I can’t eat this anymore hahahaha… hahahaha…
– If the Dragon God didn’t help us, we already…
– Oh, I don’t know! Let’s drink some water first, then we’ll go after it.
– The Dragon God drinks the blood of monsters. Is there a way to store the blood?
– How can you contain the blood that scatters when you die? Unless you drink it right away.
– Don’t you have to do something… If you are not a parasite and are barely surviving, you have to find a way to do something…
– Shelter director Kang Jun said not to do anything first. Just do what the Dragon God tells you to do.
– How are you feeling, Mr. Ban Kang-jun? Am I losing the use of my legs?
– We’ll have to wait a little longer. It was completely crumpled like a piece of paper, so would you be able to stand up straight away? It’s a miracle that it moves that much.
Even if I just listened to the story for a moment, I could tell that they were having a lot of thoughts and concerns of their own.
Wheeeing ㅡ
Taking advantage of the wind, we moved towards our shelter like waves and reached the rooftop.
“Lala~!!”
“Uh…Um…Huh?”
It always ran into the plump body of a sleeping bumble bee, buried itself in its voluptuous flesh, and swam for a while.
“Deacon… What on earth are you doing all of a sudden?”
“Lara’s body is really soft and squishy, so it feels good.”
“······ I really don’t want to hear those words from you… I feel like it would give me goosebumps.”
“Hihihi- Lala~ Chubby Lala belly~”
“······.”
Lara, who had been shaking her body for a while, soon gave up and seemed to go back to her sleep.
“Whoa – tomorrow is the 43rd stage…”
Now, I’m not too worried about what comes out. Of course, if you see a hero-level monster like the Skeleton Knight appearing, you shouldn’t let down your guard.

“Is it only stage 50?”
Of course, I know that there are several bigger mountains left after that, but I didn’t feel pressured because I thought that it was something that other strong people would work harder on than me.
“Ah, that’s right. A sphere.”
