Chapter 354
354. Baekhakgeomseon (5)
The noise of the battle like background music.
The shape of the temples burning in various places by the fire.
In fact, it was impossible not to know that it was a sign of a situation where Baekhak inspection’s earnest wish would fail.
─The cast has been selected.
─Contender Han Seong-yoon is assigned the role of < Guard Warrior > of the Shandong Baek Family.
─Proceed through the trials in order to satisfy the clear conditions of the trials.
‘…The system message said that I was assigned as an escort for the Shandong Baek Family.’
You don’t even have to think deeply.
If you recall the contents of the system message for casting, you will know the answer before long.
Perhaps this situation was highly likely to be the site of the extinction that Baekhakgeomseon experienced as a child.
‘…It seems that the family of Baekhakgeomseon is about to fall.’
Then it was clear what to do.
“In a word, it means to prevent extinction or to escape with Baekhak Geomseon.”
The moment I stepped into the center of the turmoil.
“….”
I couldn’t help but frown at the sudden feeling of heterogeneity in every part of my body.
“It’s serious…”
Should I say it’s like cotton soaked in water?
I couldn’t shake off the feeling of exhaustion that took over all parts of my body.
With every step forward, every part of his body seemed to creak.
To put it bluntly, it feels like moving a mechanical device that has been heavily rusted.
Considering that he made full use of the speed of light by overlapping the divinity, he was extremely weak.
‘I can’t believe the exhaustion will come this far.’
However, it wasn’t difficult to adapt.
“…But at this point, fighting itself shouldn’t be a problem.”
Before I knew it, I was able to roughly grasp the level of my body.
Roughly based on the Tower of Trials, it was the level of a challenger in the early 10th floor.
Adjusting the senses while retrieving memories of the past made it possible to adapt quickly.
So, it wasn’t too long before I perfectly adapted to the level of my body and gradually regained a sense of stability.
Shouldn’t it stay like this for the time being if the ability level doesn’t rise anyway according to the progress of the ordeal?
‘I guess I need to adjust my senses to at least the level of my body.’
Then there is a need to endure some degree of discomfort.
Shortly after he strode forward and reached the manor, where a thick bloody smell was rising.
Suddenly, a man with a sword approached from the other side of the corpse-strewn manor with a snake-like grin.
“…haha! What else is this? Was anyone still alive?”
Probably one of the beasts who caused the massacre here…
‘…um.’
Only then did I know one thing as I was tying my waist.
“…I don’t have a sword.”
In fact, I have no weapons that I can hold in my hands.
Upon hearing that, the man with the snake-like appearance laughed incredulously.
Then he put his left hand on his forehead and laughed to the point where his body trembled while spitting out mockery at the same time.
“Pahaha-! That sounded funny! Oh, you say you don’t have a sword? Would you like to lend me a sword? Are you a climber? huh?”
“There is no particular need for that.”
“?”
but for a while.
“I think I can just use the sword you have.”
The moment I pointed to the sword of the man in front of him and spat out those words.
“…under! This little bastard-! It suits the joke, so I don’t even know what to do, I’m fooling around—”
In an instant, I kicked the ground and threw my fist.
And following that series of processes, the mana within the body turned into a handful of lightning and added strength.
It was only then that the man in front of him seemed to have realized that something was wrong and, belatedly, struck back with a bloody knife.
‘…It’s much faster than I thought.’
In the blink of an eye, the bloody knife was struck like thunder, inflating the speed.
With only double-digit physical abilities, you can only see the blurry afterimage of the sword.
But even so, I didn’t feel the need to accelerate my thinking with concentration on combat.
That’s probably
the case too …
After all, there wouldn’t be a need to see and stop such a trivial sword attack.
Shuk-.
In an instant, the outstretched right hand drifted along the bloody blade of the sword.
The moment when the power of swordsmanship gently flows like a flowing river.
In response, the opponent bit his lips tightly and quickly created magic in the sword and discharged the sword.
But that was only for a moment.
‘Am I at least able to use sword skills?’
next moment.
Kkwajijijijik-!
As it was, I immediately created a sword flame in my hand and forcibly broke the sword.
“Sword-stained area!”
Could it be that I hadn’t even thought of dealing with sword flame?
“What is this again!”
The man in front of me suddenly showed embarrassment and took a step back.
“Such nonsense…! Why is the master of transcendence here—”
And that became the opponent’s defeat.
Kwazijik-.
“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
In the blink of an eye, the hand that flowed down the blade of the sword crushed the other’s wrist.
In fact, if there is no regenerative ability, defeat is confirmed at the point where the wrist to use the sword is crushed.
And without inspiration, I swung my right hand like a whip and hit the opponent’s chin at once.
It also contains quite a bit of magic power.
Aww!
“Kuck…”
The snake-like man in front of me collapsed with his eyes closed.
Crunchy.
「I absorbed the command of the white warrior sword ‘Wi Soo-hyeok’.」
Then, I slammed his head with my foot and picked up the sword that had fallen to the ground.
“I think I’ve got a sense of it.”
How far can you go with an infinitely weak body?
I knew about it very clearly this time.
It was a physical ability that could not reach the level of subsonic or supersonic, let alone the speed of light, but one thing was certain.
“There’s no need to take out the white crane sword and run away.”
It’s nothing else…
“I’m looking forward to seeing how far I can go.”
That the Murim people, who were mere mortals, could deal with them no matter what.
“Really…”
And then.
「Permanently increase stats by using the command of the white warrior sword ‘Wei Suhyeok’.」
「Muscle strength increased by 9」
「Agility increased by 8」
「Stamina increased by 7」
「Magic power increased by 11 .」
「Durability has increased by 7.」
Immediately after that, the moment when the spirit was absorbed and the minimum ability value was restored.
“It will be fun.”
Only then did I head towards the place where the mayhem was to take place with twinkling eyes.
***
「Accomplished the achievement ‘Swordsman’」
「Agility increased by 4」
Time passed quickly.
As I passed between the buildings before I knew it, more enemies appeared.
Even now, there were many people who used geomyeom as well as geomgi.
‘It must mean that they are talented in their own way.’
First of all, as you can see, I cut those who were presumed to be thoracic beasts.
At that time, the spirit was absorbed and most of the abilities reached a level that could barely reach three digits.
At this point, there was no need to use any skills, just throwing out a sword attack would knock the enemies down.
And as a result, some enemies with extraordinary magical powers appeared.
“A swordsman who devoted his life to a quick sword! Kick! It’s fun, it’s fun…! I’ll deal with you!”
But even so, it didn’t bother me too much.
“Hahaha! I am! The one who was recognized by the jeakryunju! Septic Sword Hyeok Woo-jin! You can’t beat me—”
Slow-!
“I am a swordsman who digs only one quick sword. I am Kang Chun-woo, the swordsman. little one I will show you a true quick sword—”
Slow-!
“Your young man is so talented… but that’s it. You’re out of luck. iced coffee. Too bad. I didn’t know that this body would defeat a talent like yours—”
Slow-!
“…what.”
All those who appeared in front of them bluffing were decapitated.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about when you come to me all the time…”
Could it be that you can’t grasp any of my skills?
Even if enemies with a particularly high level of magical power appeared, they did not produce very high results.
At best, I just spit out words full of bravado, and my head flew off at once.
‘At this point, I don’t even need to use the skill at all.’
Only then did I realize that there was no need to use skill effects at all.
Of course, considering Baekhak Swordsman’s wish, he originally had no intention of using a skill that stood out… but
now, it means that there is no need to use a skill for the purpose of supplementing physical ability.
As he climbed the Tower of Trials, his skills improved a lot, and he became able to kill without skill.
Even with such an insignificant level of physical ability.
‘I didn’t want to stand out in the eyes of the Murim people here anyway, so it worked out.’
And I smiled at him.
All the Moorim people who had seen while climbing the Tower of Trials showed a maniacal aversion to the skill.
He says that he cannot acknowledge any power that relies on a mere system, and refuses to use any power other than martial arts.
So I had to refrain from using skills as much as possible, so I thought it would be a bit difficult, but there was nothing like that.
‘I was going to activate the transcendence myth < Absolutely Unchanging > if I wanted to be a little ambiguous, but there’s no need to do that.’
Even the level of all ability points are recovering quickly, so it was all the more so.
「Permanently increase stats by using all the possessed spirits」
「Muscle strength increased by 15」
「Agility increased by 13」
「HP increased by 12」
「Magic power increased by 14」
「Durability increased 16 It has risen.”
“Nice.”
Wouldn’t all of the ability levels be around 150 now?
If it were the original abilities, the level of the commanders who would not even have sent a message was a great help.
As soon as he cut down the enemies that appeared in front of him, the consumed energy returned and the total amount of power increased.
‘By the way, the unique characteristics are not easily absorbed.’
But that doesn’t mean there are only good points.
‘I never thought I could get any of the unique characteristics even after consuming so many spirits.’
Still, one of the detailed effects of Necromancy, [Temperature], has not been activated.
Still, I think I used up about 30% of the spirits I got through necromancy
.
‘Are there special conditions other than random probability?’
But it was only for a moment that I fell into that thought.
「Achievement ‘Mysterious Master of Murim’ has been achieved.」
「All stats increase by 1.」
It’s nothing else…
“….”
Before I knew it, I entered the center of the fierce battle, cutting through countless enemies.
In the blink of an eye, I cut off my thoughts and grasped the scene coming into my field of vision.
And in the meantime, I was able to find out that many people’s eyes were focused on this side.
“her! Was one of the bastards still alive!”
“…No, what the hell? There must be plenty of top-notch masters out there, right?”
“…How come I can’t feel any presence of top masters outside!”
And that’s not all.
“Heh, the Dark Night Lord-! All of the top performers outside the bar were beaten!!”
“A master of the quick sword has appeared…!”
“Dark night lord!”
Suddenly, the menacing beasts that had not been dealt with outside were shouting.
“You…”
Then the tall man who responded to the name Dark Night Lord turned around and gnashed his teeth.
“Which school did you send this guy from?”
It was then.
“Where on earth did a ridiculous monster like you come from…?”
As it was, I could see a mature man in a white uniform standing face to face behind the black night lord.
‘I can’t believe that…’
And then.
‘Baekhak inspection?’
The moment he saw the face of the girl who was terrified and crying beyond that.
It was only then that I realized that it was Baekhak Geomseon behind the middle-aged man in a white uniform.
Even if it looks a few years old, it is immediately clear that it is the face of a manager who has been familiar with it.
“you…!!”
But maybe you didn’t like it?
Suddenly, the man who was called the Dark Night Lord raised his blood and shouted loudly.
And the feelings of the Dark Night Lord, identified through the eyes of the godhead, were dotted with great vigilance and fear.
“Answer me—! Where did you come from—! Was it a volcano? Are you Jong-nam? Otherwise———!”
“Did I ask where you are from?”
“Yeah-! This is a question from the Dark Night Alliance—! I won’t forget that I intervened in the events of the Black Night Alliance in the future—.”
“There is nothing to be curious about.”
“What…?”
As it was, I cut my hand in the air and spoke in a cold voice.
“There is no need for a person who is virtually dead to be curious, is it?”
and.
“therefore.”
next moment.
“Just die.”
Kwajijijijijijijik———!
The soul sword flew in the blink of an eye and cut the Dark Night Lord’s body in half.
