111 – The Trial of Nothingness – 42
Stab
[Seventy-second warrior…]
Horizontal Slash
[The eighty-first warrior…]
And vertical cut
[You have killed the eighty-ninth warrior.]
[The 90th warrior ‘Buruki’ appears.]
A blow.
I was able to reach the 90th warrior with a single blow, starting to utilize the three basic movements of the sword: thrust, horizontal cut, and vertical cut.
From my impression, the level of the 89th warrior was in the late 80s.
That means that the warriors who will appear now will probably be…
“….Killed….”
“Oh, my energy has changed dramatically.”
90, The realm of the transcendent recognized by the system.
The 90th warrior was a transcendentalist who reached level 90.
“Killed…All..Ah…Ah..Ah..!”
“Wow?!”
Shoo-!
The great sword of the 90th warrior, Buruki, swung aiming at my chest.
Sword speed that is unimaginable for a greatsword that is said to be the heaviest among all types of swords. If I had reacted even a little late, my upper body and lower body would have been separated.
“Kill. Kill.”
“Kill whoever kills you!”
Shooing-!
The greatsword is a weapon with very clear strength and weaknesses.
As for its strengths, it can be said that it has tremendous destructive power and a wide range of attacks.
Then what are the downsides? As soon as…..
“.Ugh…”
“The downside of the great sword is that it takes a long time to get back into position after swinging it once.”
Thanks to Mars, I know the pros and cons of all types of swords, so a weapon with obvious drawbacks like a greatsword doesn’t work.
Of course, I’ll lose to guys like Mars who have absurd strength and just sweep away everything… But at least it doesn’t seem like this guy in front of me.
“Uh.Ah.Ah.”
I aimed for the guy’s gap and inserted a ‘stab’, and although his body didn’t burst at once like the guys who came out before, Buruki stumbled as if he had suffered considerable damage.
However, like a transcendental warrior who has passed level 90, he quickly regained his posture and glared at me.
“It must hurt quite a bit, do you tolerate it well?”
“..Kill..Da.Man.Lan.”
“First of all, learn the horse before you learn the sword.”
This time, it is a horizontal slash, the only wide-area attack among the basic 3 moves. It has a wide range of attacks and is very useful, so it is the skill that Mars taught the most intensively.
Kang-!
“Ohh… I guess level 90 is not a form…”
“Twice does not work.”
I easily blocked the horizontal slash of my conversion with the blade of my greatsword. One of the advantages of the great sword, the advantage of being easy to defend, appeared here.
If it was a rapier-type sword, the entire weapon would have been smashed.
As if Buruki was aware of that, he began to take a defensive posture, holding the greatsword as if handling a shield.
‘Damn it, it’s annoying to focus on defense…’
The biggest drawback of the great sword is that the risk is too great with one attack.
In other words, it also means that it is one of the most perfect weapons if it does not attack.
“Come on.”
“If some idiot asks you to come, do you come?”
“You.”
“…….”
That’s right, after all, it’s true that I have to attack to move on to the next one.
“Haa…”
I let out a deep sigh.
Are you in a dire situation right now? No. It’s just that it’s frustrating.
The number of remaining warriors is ten, and it is said that there are nine stronger than that Buruki guy left…
“When are you going to beat them all?”
He raises his sword again. And wield
It’s a simple move, but you wouldn’t be able to say that if you knew the amount of mana and its precision.
“It takes an average of 1 hour per person, these guys…!”
Sword strikes dotted with void mana rained down on Buruki, who was holding out with a greatsword as a shield.
***
[The 99th Warrior…]
“Haa..Haa…Kyaaak!”
I can feel the fishy taste of blood in my mouth.
It seems that he suffered minor internal injuries from the wounds he received from the 95th and 98th.
“f*ck you… You f*cking b*tch..”
The 99th Warrior. It was really strong. If I hadn’t done it, it would have been this guy, not me, standing right now.
‘No matter how weak it is than the real level 90s… This isn’t it…’
The warriors who appeared after the 90th warrior were all strong men of level 90 or higher.
But is it really similar to level 90s? If asked, I would answer no without hesitation.
In the end, your true ‘skills’ in this world will depend on your unique abilities and how well you use them.
By that standard, Berazier was really strong beyond imagination. The ability to summon hell is truly a disaster for the enemy.
“At this level…Would you like to try rubbing with Hubert?”
I don’t know exactly what kind of ability Hubert has, so I can’t be sure. At this level, I feel that he will be able to fight evenly enough.
Veronica…Is still very good.
[The last warrior ‘Arcas’ appears.]
“Whoa… You really don’t give me a chance to rest.”
This is the last hurdle. Judging from the fact that the system didn’t say it was the hundredth and said it was the last warrior, it must be filthy strong.
“….”
“Hi?”
“Who are you?”
Oh, it’s a different pattern than before. Asking who I am first… Usually ‘Nice to meet you. And ‘Search’ and ‘Kill!!’ Were these two patterns, but it wasn’t until the end that another pattern came out… Are you saying that boss mobs are different?
“Who am I?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t want to tell you much.”
“…What a cocky guy.”
“If you twist it, it will make you open your mouth with your skills.”
Surereung…..
Perhaps my provocation worked, Arcas, the last warrior, pulled out a slightly longer longsword from the scabbard hanging from his waist.
But…Why does the sword he drew look so good?
“It’s the demonic sword, Arcadius.”
“…I’m a regular iron sword?”
“Having a good sword is also a skill as a swordsman.”
It sucks. What bullsh*t is this?
Geeing-!
“I told you to open that mouth with your skills, right? Don’t let me do that.”
“Damn it, where is the bastard…!”
Kang-!
His magic sword collided with my iron sword.
The power fight itself is boiling, and even if my stats are a bit low, I have a lot of mana, so I can’t be easily defeated in a sword fight.
But…There is a problem.
“Wow?!”
“Is this the only thing?”
“But he’s so damn confident while using scammers…!”
The demonic sword, Arcadius. That sword is the problem.
I don’t know what kind of effect the sword has, but since the quality of the sword itself is different, the blade of my iron sword will go out even if I continue fighting for a little while.
‘You did well on the exam, that man..!’
I decided to distance myself from Arcas as much as I could while swearing at Mars in my heart.
However, as if Arcas wouldn’t allow it, he made a close assist with his right foot and it came flying at me like a bullet.
“?!”
“It’s over.”
Suddenly!
A terrifying sound of something being cut resonated throughout the arena, along with Arcas’ terrifyingly cold voice.
“…….This…I can’t believe it…”
Thump…
“f*ck… Almost f*cked.”
I wasn’t the owner of the creepy sound. It was Arcas.
“Huh… I was embarrassed to learn martial arts…”
I let out a sigh of relief as I pitifully looked at Arcas, who died instantly after his entire waist was blown away.
Fisting swordsmanship, it’s the only skill I started learning about a week ago.
From noble mtl dot com
-Starting today, I will teach you a swordsmanship.
-…? When did you say that swordsmanship is a luxury for beginners?
-It’s because you’re progressing faster than I thought. And what I’m going to tell you from now on is a kind of self-defense rather than swordsmanship.
-What is it?
– Kwon swordsmanship. It is a technique that uses only fists without weapons. It’s a swordsmanship that works well when you don’t have a spare sword or when the opponent is off guard.
-Oh…
-Generally, a swordsman with excellent skills fixes his gaze on the opponent’s sword. However, if you learn this martial art, you can use it to inflict fatal wounds on your opponent.
Arcas was an excellent swordsman. It’s very.
That’s why I focused all my attention on the sword I was holding, and that rather caused him to suffer defeat.
“I can’t do this again… Ha ha…”
It’s a shame that the warriors who appeared in this test basically had low stamina. If they really had 90 level stamina, they would probably have used up all their energy around the 90th warrior. And Arcas, the last warrior, wouldn’t have died instantly with a single swordsmanship.
[You have passed the Tomb of Swords test.]
[The next exam will start soon.]
“Are there any leftovers? Hi and…”
Since the difficulty level of the test is the same, I naturally thought this was the last time… But it seems that there is one more left.
“Is there anything more difficult than beating 100 high level players?”
Well, it’s a sword test, and it’s a test made by Mars… What are you trying to come up with?
No, it can’t be. No way.
[The subject of this exam is ‘Proof’.]
[The Sword God Mars appears.]
“…?”
Why are sad premonitions never wrong?
f*ck.
“No no no…This isn’t it..!”
The Sword God Mars, he is a monster. A monster, literally.
A single light sword strike cuts through a mountain, and a roughly positioned thrust calms an avalanche the size of a tidal wave.
Even that Veronica shuts up after being scolded by Mars.
An alien monster. That is the way I look at Mars.
But you want to fight that monster? I? I’d rather give up halfway through. I want to go without pain.
[The age of the sword god Mars has been adjusted.]
[Marth’s age is adjusted to be the same as the tester.]
“..?”
At the time when I was halfway giving up, a system window appeared asking me to have hope.
Oh, yes, age adjusts with mine, so Mars will be 24 years old…
[The age of the sword god Mars is adjusted to 99999+.]
“Okay, now it’s time to do it…! Yes?”
…No, they say that age is adjusted to be the same as mine, why is 99999+ appearing?
Could it be a system error? A lot of thoughts went through my head at the moment, but the conclusion was ‘no’. The system is not a common indie game system, and there is no way that errors will occur.
‘Yes f*ck, I’m an idiot for believing in the test system even for a moment…’
Let’s say the words are the same, but look at the situation now. Trying to f*ck me up somehow.
Oh wow, look I’ll never praise the system again…
[The sword god Mars is older than the current point.]
[The sword god Mars’ point of view has failed. The appearance of Mars, the Sword God, has been deleted.]
[Hidden Peace ‘Return of the King’ is activated.]
[You have passed the test of proof.]
[The next exam begins.]
..Yes?
