After instructing everyone to treat the injured and stand by, they headed for the magic circle in the middle.
“It’s amazing how fine you are.”
The floor was all shattered, but the magic circle remained unaffected at all, as if carved into the space itself.
“I will go alone.”
“uh? What do we do?”
Brica opened her mouth with a puzzled face.
“If I go in there and destroy the stone statue, there will be a magic circle heading to the exit here as well.”
“Are you sure?”
“Or just walk out.”
“Eek! uh, that’s…”
The moment the statue of the knight is destroyed, all humans are automatically moved out of the temple, so it is convenient for me to go in alone and deal with the statue of the knight.
On top of that, I also wanted to break down the stone statue to relieve my frustration because of Rashid.
After putting my feet on the magic circle and waiting for a while, I felt that my body was floating, and I was moved to another space.
“Here?”
It looked like a secluded and small gymnasium, but I saw a stone statue of a knight standing proudly in the middle of the gymnasium.
However, the location and the stone statue of the knight were very different from what was expected.
“What is this?”
hero robben
According to the original story, I had to do a 1:1 duel with a stone statue of a knight in a place like the Colosseum, but the place I arrived at was a small training ground.
“Even the statues are different…”
The stone statue in the center of the gymnasium was not wearing silver armor, but leather armor for training, and the face that should have been a young man had become that of a middle-aged man.
“Now you are here.”
The middle-aged stone statue saw me bewildered and approached with a smile.
[Activates Creator’s Eye.]
[Stone statue of the hero Roben]
It is a stone statue infused with his power by Robben, one of the five heroes who saved the world. Robben is a knight who has risen to the Master level, is skilled in using the Aura Blade, and is perfectly capable of using the Moonlord swordsmanship.
Special Ability: Web Blade, Moonlight Aura.
“Is it you?”
Robben’s stone statue stood facing me and opened its mouth.
“What are you talking about?”
“The person who changed this dungeon.”
“change? Could it be because you broke the stone statue of Sepilia?”
“okay. It was you too.”
Robben nodded and started to circle me. Judging by the fact that he had his hands behind his back, it seemed that he had no intention of fighting right away.
“It looks like it was his joke that changed like this.”
“If it’s her…”
“You don’t know. There’s someone else who made this stone statue dungeon. A mischievous wizard.”
“ah…”
I think I know why Robben appeared as a middle-aged man.
Among the 5 heroes who saved the world, there is also a wizard. It seems that the wizard who created the stone statue dungeon added a secret condition to the dungeon.
The activation condition of the special dungeon is probably the destruction of the statue of a hero, so it seems that this change occurred when I completely destroyed the statue of Sepilia.
“There was a time when he came to me twenty years later and cast a spell on me. I guess it was because of this. Anyway, he doesn’t seem to have matured even with his age.”
Just as I understood the situation, Robben seemed to understand why.
“Then has the exam method changed?”
“No, not really. You just have to duel with me. Of course, not the younger me, but the current me.”
“hmm…”
Ordinary people’s physical prime is in their 20s, but knights using auras are different.
Their heyday goes beyond their 40s and continues into their 50s, and when they reach mastery, their stamina does not decrease even with age, and the total amount of aura increases, rather showing more powerful abilities.
“The difficulty has increased.”
“Whoops, yes. But I can’t help it. Blame the mischievous wizard for doing this. of course. I bet there will be additional rewards. That’s for sure.”
“I like that.”
What you will get here is a sword and gloves. But to say that something else was added, the difficulty increase wasn’t just a bad thing.
“Looking at you, it looks like you’ve been fighting someone other than Sepilia.”
“How do you know?”
“Because there’s no way a person of skill like you could have been attacked by the knights outside.”
Robben smiles when he points to my ripped and cracked outfit.
“I’ll give you a moment. recover.”
“I will not decline.”
Accepting his consideration, he swung the Mandokja Telegraph while standing, recovering his strength, and stabilizing the top battle.
“What a shame.”
“What do you mean it’s a waste?”
“I wanted to live and fight against a strong man like you. It’s hard to understand how strong he is at his age. Our captain wasn’t even like you…”
“Not quite like that.”
“Hmm, I like your personality.”
What I said is sincere. In the past, you might have thought, ‘This is enough.’
There is still a long way to go.
“I have a question for you.”
Turning around, I spoke to Robben, who was looking at the gymnasium with regretful eyes.
“Speak. However, my knowledge stops at this figure. There won’t be much I can answer.”
“Do you know someone named Carbol?”
Robben is a sword-mad knight and a person from the past, so I asked just in case. I didn’t really expect anything like that.
“Hmm, Carbol? Are you referring to the Sword Saint Carbol?”
“Sword Saint?”
“Carbol has excellent swordsmanship, but he declared that he would learn all the swordsmanship that exists on the continent. He was a sword-mad friend, but we were able to save the world thanks to him blocking an attack from the rear.”
It is absurd that Carbol lived at the same time as Robben. His swordsmanship books were old, but they weren’t over a few hundred years old.
“Me but…”
“Oh, come to think of it, that’s what the wizard I mentioned earlier said when he came back.”
“What do you mean?”
“I heard that Carbol is not human.”
If Carbol, who wrote the swordsmanship books, was not human, then would he be a monster or a demon?
“Of course, I said that there is no such thing as a demon or demon king. He said it was a secret and left without telling me. All I know is that I haven’t seen him since the war.”
“All right. thank you.”
After hearing Robben’s words, I had a crazy thought that Carbol might still be alive. My curiosity about Carbol increased even more.
I think I need to do a proper research on Carbol.
“Whew…”
I cleared my mind with a sigh and took a posture. Now is the time to focus your attention on the battle.
“I am ready.”
The battle with Sepilia and the battle with Black Sword had considerable internal energy consumption, so it wasn’t completely recovered, but it seemed like it would be enough for now.
“I will use this sword. It is a sword that has been with you from the beginning to the end.”
Robben pulled out a plain-looking longsword from his waist.
“I will use memorization and two fists.”
As I answered Robben, I looked at the creator again to determine the location of the nucleus. His nucleus, like humans, was in the left chest, in the area where the heart is located.
“uh?”
After checking, when I was about to prepare for battle, I noticed a change in the status window.
[Passion of King Cheonsuam’s combat experience] -6%
No matter what I did, the percentage of King Cheonsuam’s battle experience didn’t go up, but the percentage went from 0% to 6% before I knew it.
If you train alone, you don’t go up, but you have to fight the enemy to go up?
As the name suggests, combat experience seems to increase only through actual combat, not training.
That’s why the connection worked well.
When fighting Cephilia and Black Sword, I thought that my physical condition was good because the memorization that moved in a chain match followed my will well. However, it seems that it is not because of the handed down battle experience.
“There are more reasons to fight.”
In order to become stronger in the future, I think I will have to do more battles. I think it was really good that I came here instead of leaving it to Arin or someone else.
When I cleared my thoughts and looked at Robben, he nodded with a generous expression.
“Are your worries over?”
“yes. Sorry for taking your time.”
“No. Then let’s begin.”
Robben smiled and nodded, raising his longsword.
“I will go.”
“Good!”
Don’t fall!
There is no need to waste time. I moved behind him while exerting the Brain Human Spirit method to its extreme. The moment I was about to launch the daggers from both hands, a longsword wrapped in aura was in front of my neck.
“Kuk!”
I was breaking down in a cold sweat at a faster-than-expected speed, and I barely avoided the sword. At the same time as evading, he stepped back and fired a memorized spell for containment.
Kyakyong!
Robben’s expression, which simply blocked memorization, changed 180 degrees. He was glaring at me with sharp momentum and cold eyes.
The generous uncle from a while ago is no longer here. There are only rare swordsmen who do their best.
“good.”
Fain!
He loaded the four daggers in his hand with warrior power and threw them at different times.
Tadadadang!
Robben threw an aura like a crescent moon and blew them all away before the dagger arrived. I expected it, so I changed Agnes to two sticks and quickly fired them.
Boo woo woo!
Robben frowned, as if the sound of thousands of bees was a nuisance to the stone statue. I aimed for that moment and got close to him and threw out a fist full of brain energy.
kyaang!
Roben tried to cut Mukbong in half with a round aura and prevent the dragon from coming out, but I was a little quicker.
Quaang!
support position!
The right fist dug into Robben’s chest, but was blocked by the aura blade. He fell back and fired six more daggers.
Kyakyakyakyak!?
All of the daggers bounced off, and Robben fired another crescent moon aura. I used a thunderbolt to get high in the air, avoiding his attack, and taking four steps back.
I aimed at Roben’s whole body with my dagger, dagger, and dagger and threw it.
Robben blocked the memorization that raged like a storm and even launched a threatening counterattack. Each moonlight aura was fatal enough to take my life.
“There are so many weapons.”
“I mean.”
Rather than deliberately using lightning strikes, he was fighting with a dagger.
There is only one reason.
It was because I felt like I could emulate a little bit of destruction as the battle experience of Dangcheonwei was handed down.
Kwaaang!
The skin of the earth that was hit by Robben’s aura turned upside down. Robben was using a powerful aura and sharp swordsmanship as if he was getting excited.
kyaang!
After turning Agnes into two ghost slashes, he threw a direct shot at Robben, but as expected, he lightly blocked it.
From noble mtl dot com
“This is enough.”
Avoiding Robben’s sharp aura, he raised his connection with Mandokja Telegraph to the extreme. Then, 10 daggers on the floor floated into the air at the same time, as if pulling a string.
“This, this!”
Robben’s eyes widened at the mysterious sight and looked at me. It’s the look in your eyes that you can’t understand what you’ve done.
“Perish!”
The daggers that embroidered the sky like stars began to fall as a meteor shower.
The dagger is fast, the dagger is strong, and the dagger is sharp.
The 10 daggers aimed at Robben’s heart, showing their own movements as if they were alive.
“Kuaaa!!”
Robben’s aura blade grew thicker. He was pouring all his aura into the sword.
His expression hardened seriously, as if he felt the mysterious power contained in the daggers, but he also seemed to be enjoying himself.
“Web blades!”
Roben’s aura was engraved in the air like a spider’s web. His aura ability, Web Blade. The turbulent annihilation and the explosive web blades collided, trying their best to kill each other.
“one more…”
Controlling the extinction, he took a step further. By squeezing out her seniority and history to the end, Agnes lifted the transformed ghost king.
Perhaps because Agnes and my soul were already connected, I was able to control her much more comfortably and stably than other daggers.
Ugh.
Ghost King flew at my will and aimed at Roben’s heart from behind. Robben noticed, but he couldn’t afford it.
f*ck!
Agnes penetrated like a beam of light into Robben’s core, which was focused on preventing its destruction.
“Big.”
Robben smiled bitterly as he looked at his punctured chest.
“To be able to do something like this is truly amazing. It was an honor to fight against the mighty of the new world.”
“Your martial arts were also amazing.”
Unlike the first time, Robben was raising his words to me. They are treating unmanned people as unmanned people.
“I was really happy that the final battle was you. You can save the world no matter what happens. but…”
As Roben’s stone statue turned to dust, he left behind his last words.
“It would have been nice if I had met you in my lifetime and competed properly…”
The stone statue of Robben disappeared with a sad smile. Four items fell where they were.
“Two were supposed to come out, but four came out. Isn’t that great?”
The first item was the longsword Roben used. It looks ordinary, but it is by no means ordinary.
[Roben’s Longsword]
A sword made by the Dwarf Chief Maxiron and given to Roben. Made from dragon’s teeth, it has near-infinite durability, does not spoil the spirit, and the weight of the two blades is perfectly matched. If you practice swordsmanship with this sword, your proficiency will rise quickly.
Special Ability: Indestructible, swordsmanship proficiency increase.
It is a sword made from dragon teeth. It is a good sword regardless of whether I use it or pass it on to anyone.
“Gloves. That’s all I know.”
The second was an inner glove worn inside the gauntlet. This, too, looks ordinary, but has a special ability hidden in it.
[Roben’s Gloves]
It is an inner glove worn inside the gauntlet. It has resistance to the four major attributes and increases the user’s strength, agility, and mental strength.
Special Ability: Increase property resistance, enhance stats.
The two items had great abilities unlike their normal form.
“From here on out, I don’t know…”
The third item was a blunt-looking silver ring. It was not studded with jewels, and was only designed to be worn on the finger without any workmanship.
“Why does this man’s item look so simple?”
[Roben’s Silver Ring]
It is a ring inherited from Robben’s father. The ring has a special spell that reduces the consumption of aura.
