Insanely-Talented Player

Chapter 10



Episode 10:

A rain of blades covered the sky. I could feel it as soon as I saw it.

Like the creation of a frost sword, it is a hero grade skill card called Sword Art.

It is also a sword technique used by the player swordsman, who is said to be the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

‘Take care of the balance in case someone gets lucky.'

It is unknown whether it was obtained as a season reward or by luck at the tower. The Iron Lord, who favored him, may have personally given him a skill card.

‘That's probably the highest probability.'

The sword lord was the most favored player apostle among the Iron Lord's contractors.

A title awarded to only one player among several players who have a contract with a specific lord. Therefore, the power of the metal attribute skills used by the ‘Steel Apostle’ was incomparable to that of other players.

If we assume that Yooseong is the type that masters all kinds of attributes through the Clown Lord, then the Sword Master is a focused type who thoroughly invests in metallic skills.

Just because you have signed a contract with a specific monarch, you do not necessarily have to follow that monarch's attributes. It is not uncommon for even rankers in the top 10 to create builds that are independent of their monarch’s attributes.

However, from the beginning, the sword master thoroughly pursued the ultimate in sword and steel, and this led him to where he is today.

A curtain of swords covered the sky and the rain of blades began to pour down.

However, it was by no means targeting the soldiers of the Kingdom of Rhodea to win this war.

Because the only target that the Heavenly Sword's Baptism was heading towards was the player Kang Yu-seong.

Whoa!

A rain of falling blades. In front of him, Yooseong adjusted his frost sword and grabbed it.

The sword of cold was swung amidst the barrage of steel that was raining down like a bombardment, one by one. One sword was thrown away, and at the same time, the rare skill ‘Shadow Blade’ rose from Yooseong’s feet. There was the sound of

Kaang

sword clashing with the sword. It was the sound of ice and steel clashing against darkness. As if intercepting

an

incoming missile, the Sword of Frost and Shadow was blocking the bombardment of the Heavenly Sword.

A curtain of blades built up of darkness and cold. A barrage of steel and iron coming down to pierce that curtain.

It was undoubtedly a sword fight. However, it was by no means a confrontation between prosecutors that people in this world could understand.

“The player to those in my empire...

Understanding the meaning, one of the defenders of the Kingdom of Rhodea muttered.

“Player Player has come to the rescue of our Cavalis Empire!”

“My friend is fighting for the empire!”

It was shortly after that that the empire, which had been overwhelmed by Yoo Seong's performance until just before, regained its morale. The fighting spirit is imbued in the movements of the soldiers climbing the castle wall, and the swords they swing become even fiercer.

‘You used your brain.'

Yoosung clicked his tongue and smiled bitterly. There was nothing surprising about it. It was a decision that could be made because we had an overwhelming military superiority.

Kaang

The swords clashed again.

Even if there were dozens, hundreds, or even thousands, it would make no difference. I blocked and blocked and blocked again. The sophistication of swordsmanship is directly proportional to the number of swords being handled. Even the sword master of the world is no exception.

Geomju is not foolish enough to think that Yooseong would fall from an attack of this magnitude.

Immediately after, a shadow rushed through the curtain of blades swirling like artillery fire.

Kaang

It was a sword with a speed and strength that could not even be compared with the swords that had been struck until now.

“I heard you never thought of taking over the fortress with the sword skills you’ve practiced so much?”

“What do you think victory in this tower means?” The swordsman asked back coldly.

“Even if this fortress falls and everyone in the kingdom dies, the empire cannot win unless we defeat you.”

The victory of the empire is to advance through this place, and the victory of the kingdom is to stop them. Even if all the soldiers in the fortress are destroyed, as long as the empire's advance is stopped, it will be a victory for the kingdom.

Even if it is a victory that only brings scars,

it is absolutely not vain for one player to defeat a large enemy army in a world without magic.

Even right after the season reset, this is no exception. Because they are far beyond the specifications that an average player can obtain at the end of the season after putting in so much effort.

“The player is a hero, and the hero’s mission is to protect the world. “A scoundrel who does not understand that mission has no qualifications to become the king of heroes.”

“Okay. “When you grow up, don’t be like me.”

Yoosung answered while imitating smoking a cigarette. The swordsman's expression became even colder. The conversation ended there. He kicked the ground and the swordsmen rushed in. The blades crossed, and as soon as they crossed, they bounced off and met again.

As if the poles of a magnet were reversed, the swords tangled, fell, and tangled again. It was a clash so fast that ordinary soldiers could not even follow the movements. While

a

single sound rang out, dozens of movements intersected. It was right then.

A jet-black shadow rushed behind the sword master’s back.

Before we knew it, Kamangi had finally returned after endless slaughter under the castle walls.

“...

As soon as he felt the deadly force behind his back, the sword master quickly kicked the ground. In the nick of time, the shadow beast passed by the sword master and

was immediately sucked into the shadow beneath Yooseong’s feet.

“The monarchs are watching this fight. “There’s no way you don’t know the meaning of defeat here.”

“Why am I fighting?”

Yooseong asked back calmly.

Taaaa!

At the same time, Yooseong kicked the ground and rushed in. An extremely cowardly blow aimed at a psychological dead spot. The swordsman swore and adjusted the hilt of his sword. But no.

Yooseong's sword never reached the swordsman.

It was just jumping towards the outside of the castle wall, which was so high that it was so high.

Stretched under the castle wall was a mountain of countless corpses. Yooseong was the player's activity. A place of slaughter shown unilaterally by the shadow beast as if to show off.

A place where the soldiers of the empire do not even dare to approach, fearing the

unknown monsters there. A shooting star jumped down as if running away towards the empty space. I understood the meaning. Unable to do so, the sword master tilted his head and immediately his blood froze.

‘No way...!'

I thought he did it that way to show off his presence and further encourage the defenders. No.

——The player's territory, where the imperial soldiers tremble in fear and don't even dare to think of approaching. The area where the fortress should be surrounded as if it were flooding in. An open arrow. A

shooting star was running along that path without being hindered by any enemy soldiers.

It was heading towards the command barracks where the imperial leadership was watching the battle unfolding from beyond.

The sword master was right.

The victory of the empire was here. It is to break through and advance, and the victory of the kingdom is to stop them.

To block the advance of the troops.

There was no need to annihilate the troops. It was enough to hit the head of the leader who could move the troops. So.

Belatedly, the swords in the area rushed in, writhing like living creatures.

Kaang

, but it wasn't a meteor that could be hit by such a blow. Much less, there wasn't even an enemy soldier to block his path. He was afraid of the player and didn't even dare to approach him. ‘

Was it a paving stone from the beginning...!'

Belatedly, the sword lord kicked the ground and chased after Yooseong. He moved a group of swords to block his path and somehow hold on to his ankles. However, every

time he unfolded the curtain of the heavenly sword, the sword of cold and shadow tore the curtain to pieces.

‘It's the way the world goes.'

The +900 evasion correction and +300 Dex values contained in the legendary armor 《Golden Faith》 are added. The movement is as light as a feather. Conversely, it sprays blades of ice and shadow and

grabs the sword master's ankle to block the chase. It was Yoosung’s advantage.

“Player P is heading this way…!”

The soldiers belatedly saw the player approaching and tried to strengthen their defensive posture. It was almost at the same time that the shadow beast jumped among them. The soldiers remembered the fear shown by the unknown monster earlier, so they did not dare to stand in their way

. “ I couldn’t help it.

“Please save me!”

“I don’t want to die!”

“How are we supposed to stop that monster? Screw everything!”

Fear spread like a plague, and even the living soldiers began to disperse.

The distance narrowed.

The luxurious barracks, which seemed to be a gathering of highly-armed knights and officers and even high-ranking people at first glance, finally became visible. We reached the range.

The imperial leadership there tried to run away, but it was already too late.

Seung.

“I found it.”

Yoosung muttered coldly,

“Protect His Excellency Duke Bar-Barmut! Don’t back down!”

“Your Excellency the Duke! Come behind me!”

The imperial knights belatedly drew their swords. But their resistance was meaningless. At least in the world of this tower. It was not difficult to

identify those who needed to be defeated. Armor shining with gold and decorations. Showing off their status. Accessories.

Blood was splattered.

At the same time, the world stopped.

Movement of the entire area literally stopped. Color disappeared from the world. Like the scenery in a still black and white movie.

Except for the two players.

“Have you not thought about taking off your clothes and hiding them among the soldiers?”

You…!”

The shooting star taunted as if it were someone else's business. Belatedly, the sword lord tried to kick the ground, but couldn't.

Before even the two players' movements had stopped.

[The Tower of War has been cleared!]

[Continental Power OOO-. Fortress Pallas. During the siege and defense surrounding Duke Barmut, the entire command of the Kabalis Empire was annihilated by an unidentified assassin... (omitted) It was decided to

stop carrying out the operation and retreat.] The following system message. With that, the

world The scenery was collapsing. As if it had turned into ashes and blown away. The

game was over and the tower had been conquered. And the winner and loser were decided.

Just as there was a victory that only hurt, there was a defeat without scars.

[As a clear reward . You can take one skill card owned by the hostile player!]

The two players were facing each other in a black and white world with nothing in it.

Immediately after, a message came to mind. Yoosung laughed as he saw the message.

[You can take it . Please choose one skill!]

— Ultimate Sword (Rare)

— Steel Martial Arts (Rare)

— Swordsmanship (Hero)

The swordsman could not laugh.

Just because there is a defeat without a wound does not mean that there is no scar of defeat.

” “Oh my gosh, you give me everything.”

“Damn you bastard...!”

“I’m telling you there’s no need to give me this much.”

“I will kill you, I will definitely kill you, you damn Goryeo bastard...!”

“But since you said that, it wouldn’t be right to refuse...

Leaving behind the endless screams, Yoosung stretched out his arms.

Yoosung said, holding the hero-level skill card that was still glowing purple.

“Ouch.”
