73. Sword of Destruction
[Skill Eater’s tier has increased.]
[The level of all skills attributed to Skill Eater is greatly increased.]
– The chance of the skill disappearing upon death disappears.
Skill Eater has risen to Tier 7.
It didn’t rise even when killing hundreds of users, but it rose by catching a boss-level NPC called Allegro. There was no big change until Tier 6, but when it reached Tier 7, the phrase that the Skill Eater’s only weakness, the skill at death, disappears finally disappeared. Surprisingly, it wasn’t just that.
The level of all boss skills attributed to Skill Eater has risen significantly.
Allegro is a testament to how strong it is.
But even though I was delighted, I took a potion out of my bag and swallowed it for a while. Looking at the place where Allegro died, I let out a low sigh.
‘Allegro.’
Although he was an NPC and tried to kill me, he was of great help to me for about a month.
I didn’t just get a skill, but I learned real swordsmanship from him. It’s not systematic, but now I’ve experienced it not only in my head but also in my body.
Is that all? I don’t know how much experience I’ve accumulated fighting him. The strongest being I met in Seion fought with me for over a month, so if you’re a teacher, you’re a teacher.
If I were stronger than I am now and could have subdued him without killing him, of course I would have done so. But Allegro was too strong for that. to kill. Only one option was given to me. It’s too bad.
“Well… … ?”
It was then. I immediately realized that a crisis more direct than the pity for Allegro was coming.
“Why can’t I recover?”
As soon as the battle was over, I drank the recovery potion. Normally, as the injury heals, it is normal for the vitality to rise little by little. But it doesn’t change. The power of immortality is gradually ending.
7… 6… 5… 4… … .
“I will die.”
I see the world tree standing precariously in the middle of the smashed room. Only one fruit remains. All others have fallen to the floor and are terribly broken. The fruit of the World Tree must be eaten immediately after being picked. I have to move my body to pick the last remaining fruit, but my condition is not very good.
“Damn it… … .”
It crawled like a zombie and barely picked the fruit and shoved it into its mouth. However, even though it was a fruit that filled most wounds and vitality to the end, it did not change from 1 vitality. When he manifested the power of immortality once before, he quickly recovered with a recovery potion and a bandage, but the power of immortality doesn’t seem to be able to completely block the Aura Blade.
“It’s a big deal.”
No matter how much I opened my bag, drank the recovery potion, and applied bandages, my vitality did not rise.
And that’s not all.
“Cool… … .”
Even though the power of immortality was still activated, blood poured out of his mouth. Does it feel like it’s collapsing from the inside out? The countdown finally reached zero while that pretty terrible feeling engulfed my whole body.
Tsutsutsut… … .
When the power of immortality disappeared, the whole body began to stiffen. When I opened the status window, my body turned black. If you leave it as it is in the so-called blackout state, you will die within seconds.
It was when I was swallowing double desire inside. A hand was placed over my head.
“Guy, what’s the point of defeating me?”
“Hut!”
Looking up at the owner of the hand, I unknowingly swallowed the wind. There, Allegro, who pierced my heart, was looking down at me with a benevolent smile.
“uh… uh… … .”
It’s the first time I’ve been so surprised since starting a game. Looking at my expression, he smiled and said.
“I’ll have to let him live if we’re going to talk. Endairon.”
shrrrr… … .
A snake made of water suddenly rose from behind Allegro’s back.
“Can you treat this guy?”
Nodding at his words, the snake called Endairon opened its mouth at me, and a refreshing mist of water covered my body.
[Advanced regeneration is manifested.]
“Aurablade is not just cutting the body. The owner’s will becomes a blade of death, cutting even the will to live. In front of him, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a sword, magic, or curse.”
As Allegro kindly explained my condition, the blackout injury slowly faded and my vitality rose. I don’t know what level of spirit Endairon is. It was an unknown spirit that had not yet been revealed to the users. But one thing was certain. The Allegro in front of me is alive.
“Everyone, you have my sword… … .”
“ah? You mean that?”
He tapped his left breast, but the hole he had made with the Durendal was still intact. However, the skin visible from the inside did not show even blood, let alone a wound.
“If an elf stays for 2,000 years, it is half like a tree. Emotions that an ordinary living being should have are buried in time.”
“A tree?”
“right. But half of it is a living being, so I was slowly going crazy, but thanks to you, I came to my senses.”
“Phew, that’s right.”
When I sighed in relief, Allegro clicked his tongue and said, as if he had misunderstood my words.
“But don’t be too disappointed. Because this one was pretty exciting. Come to think of it, you are a person from another world in mythology.”
“… … ?”
I tilted my head at the word of an alien in mythology. As far as I know, there was no alien in Seion’s background. To the NPCs, users are thoroughly treated like natives. Otherwise, there was no way the mighty NPC forces would leave the users alone.
“Are you from another world?”
At my question, Allegro smiled gently and shook his head. Then, he touched the head of a water snake called Endairon.
“You may have many questions, but those are answers that have not yet been granted. Besides, whether intentionally or not, the handing down of my secrets to you crossed the line quite a bit, so I couldn’t move for a while.”
What does it mean to cross the line?
Allegro reached out toward one side of the room.
coo coo coo… … .
Originally, the place where I was being held did not have a door itself, but a door was created.
“Okay, you can leave now. There are many things I want to say, but I think this is the end.”
“… … ?”
“Just so you know. Damn God is narrow-minded and will never let anything go against his will.”
Wow… … .
Before I could say anything more, Allegro disappeared into thin air along with the water snake.
“what?”
He just said something incomprehensible and disappeared.
Not even a quest. It’s funny to say this, but Allegro felt subtlety that ordinary NPCs can’t. It was as if I was well aware that the world of Seion was a virtual reality and that I was a user. But there is no way to confirm it. And there is no reason to check. But the good thing right now is that Allegro is not dead. Somehow, it feels like a part of my heart is at ease.
“Let’s open the status window.”
I crouched down in a corner of the destroyed room and opened the status window to change my mood. The level of Allegro was so high that it had risen by 5 levels. Undistributed stats were distributed among intelligence and will. While fighting Allegro, his stats rose randomly, but his intelligence and will didn’t rise, so his stats were lacking compared to other stats.

“Available for limited use?”
I tilted my head at the phrase written at the end of the phrase, “Destructive Sword.” Because it is available for a limited time… … . Did Skill Eater have anything like this? Well, it’s a skill that handles the same mythical Aura Blade, so I think it might be.
When you click on the word ‘Destructive Sword’, an explanation of the ‘Destructive Sword’ appears below.
Sword of Destruction
– It is an absolute swordsmanship created by the Sword Master Allegro of the Blue Wind Elves, inspired by the ancient swordsmanship of the Extermination class. It is a swordsmanship of super-elevation that can use the aura blade, and if an unprepared person uses it, it will suffer great harm.

“Wow… … .”
It is a skill that requires as many as six necessary conditions. The good thing is that I already have the Blue Wind Clan’s Aura Alchemy and Breeze Walking, and the worst thing is that I don’t even know what it is, it requires a mythic level achievement. Lastly, there is still a lot left to learn from Allegro, who cannot even guess how much he has learned. The bottom line is that it is a piece of cake.
“It’s level 60… It’s crazy.”
Levels were also an issue.
As far as I know, the current level ranking was level 91. As soon as it opened, it invested a lot of money and time and achieved only 91. someone can say I’ve done a lot of light level so far, but what’s the point of only level 60? But one knows and the other doesn’t. Seion heard that the difficulty of leveling up doubles every 10 units.
“Let’s go out first.”
I couldn’t go outside because I was constantly caught by Allegro. When I go outside, a cold wind blows.
“It is high.”
When he was arrested, he was so distracted that he did not even know where he was.
widely… Tarak… … .
Stepping on a tree branch, I tilted my head at the strange atmosphere.
Elves are not visible. Even the wind spirits roaming around the village are nowhere to be seen, making it seem as if you are in a ghost town. It was then. It must have been on top of a tree, and a nimble male elf landed on the ground… … . This is El Frainger, whom I went out with a few times before. Is your name Kamiel?
“Kay! Are you out now?”
“yes. Mr Kamiel. But why is there no one in town?”
“that is… … .”
Kamiel, who had a moment of anger at my question, opened his mouth slowly.
“A week ago, the Beso Kingdom and China Empire invaded.”
