#187
187. Just for once (11)
The main match of the 3 major events.
The individual finals have begun.
“Crazy dog! Cut that bastard to pieces!”
“Just looking at it, I’m on the verge of dying.”
“In the finals, the swordsman and the mad dog had to face each other! It’s not that lame!”
Woo woo woo!
The booing from the audience continued.
<You don’t look well.>
<Even if you drank the recovery potion, it wouldn’t have healed you. That player thought that it would be better for him to finish on stage than to lose by default… … .>
I took a step forward.
[Toto is my life (Tazza11): 👅 My toto!!!!!! Kwaaamlingmu!!]
[Hou38: Hahaha hahaha haha honey butter level! agreed? ㅇ ㅇㅇ!]
[Toto is my life (Tazza11): Kill! kill me!!!]
Noisy.
There are too many low-level onlookers.
I held the hilt of my sword loosely and took a step forward.
Aaron stands there, unmoving.
Of course. ‘Cause it’ll be all I can do is stand It’s no wonder that he’s already dead.
“Ah… ugh…”
Aaron let out a heavy moan.
I am barely holding on, using the spearhead as a staff,
His arms and legs were constantly shaking, and sticky blood dripped from his mouth.
“Am I resentful?”
“……no.”
“Don’t berate me. I know everything.”
I grinned.
If I hadn’t seduced him, Aaron wouldn’t have had to go through this pain.
He must have been very comfortable while serving as a Taoni instructor. Like Dicka, who once had a hard time falling behind her peers, but is now content with her life.
I knew.
What kind of end did the heroes who went there with aspirations meet?
What despair and what solitude did you face,
As a Master, I could see it clearly.
Even knowing that, I recommended it. I made Aaron like that.
There were countless challengers.
Guys who laughed at body-breaking training, didn’t blink an eye at anything, and wanted to sell their souls to become stronger.
A year easily lasts.
There were a lot of guys who endured for ten years without difficulty.
But if it goes beyond a hundred years.
‘It’s easy to say.’
If you find out that nothing has been done in all those years.
If you realize that there are guys who deny their hard work in just a few months.
“Aaron.”
“…”
“Give up. You have no talent.”
I lowered my sword.
“Come back to Taoni. I’ll give you a spot as an instructor. Make yourself comfortable there.”
“…”
“Ahead of you is a thorny road. There is nothing. If you choose that path, you will not change until you die. You will live in pain for the rest of your life.”
Aaron stumbled.
I took a step closer to him.
“What does it mean to be strong? Do you want to show off to others?
“…”
“If you do your job, the tower will climb on its own. I’ll save your sister too. You can go back to your hometown. You don’t have to get your hands dirty.”
Aaron opened his mouth, but only bloody saliva flowed out.
“Just nod your head. I’ll make it easier for you.”
I looked ahead
A boy is sitting in the air vent near the ceiling above the audience seats.
The boy with the hat pulled down was looking down at Aaron, who was standing on the stage.
“Answer me, Aaron.”
I said.
Aaron’s lips moved again.
“……I don’t like it.”
“What? I can’t hear you.”
“no…….”
‘Is that your answer?’
I smiled.
Then, he pointed his sword at him.
“…”
Then, I realized Aaron had lost his mind.
He was still standing tall, but his eyes had already lost their luster.
The image of me aiming the sword was reflected in those eyes.
‘I’ll show you.’
I scratched the floor with the blade of my sword.
Charle! Blue sparks flew dazzlingly.
[‘Han (★★★★)’ has entered an exceed state!]
Quagga Gagagak!
Marble tiles were ripped off like tofu.
Fluttering flames burned to the far end of the stage.
bang!
I took a strong step with my front foot.
The ground hollowed out, and cracks like cobwebs spread in all directions.
maximum output.
There is no addition or subtraction of any kind.
The highest quality potion was ridiculous, and the wounds widened, causing blood to burst from all over the body.
simplicity and honesty. The sound of muscle fibers tearing and bones breaking reverberated in my ears.
Time slowed down.
1/100th of a second. 1/1000th of a second.
Aaron’s eyes were still dimmed.
towards Aaron,
A greatsword clad in blue flames was swung.
[Skill, ‘Sword Soul’ activated!]
You and I were different from the start.
Even though it’s the same 1 star, you can’t even compare it.
I read through all the strategies in this world, was backed by talent, equipped with will, and even had an invincible force on my back. On the other hand, you… … .
‘There was nothing.’
At first, he said that he couldn’t fight and just squeezed him from behind.
After that, I changed my mind and tried desperately, but even that didn’t work out.
Faaaaang!
Space itself was being torn apart.
The flame burned fiercely, consuming everything it touched.
‘Show me.’
Just before the flame enveloped Aaron’s body.
“…”
The guy moved.
He grabbed the spear with his bloodied hand.
A light came on in his empty eyes.
Hundreds of shadows floated on the stage.
The shadows were in the form of Aaron wielding a spear in different positions. But it’s a fleeting moment. The illusion that enveloped the entire arena was sucked back into Aaron’s body.
‘… … .’
Aaron held out his spear.
Thousands of shadows floated near the blade.
Not thousands.
I opened my eyes wide.
tens of millions.
Woo woo woo.
Like a bee flapping its wings, the shadow that wrapped around the spear blade merged with it.
Know.
Compressing hundreds of thousands, tens of millions, and billions of stabs into just one… … .
Muden’s secret technique, a deadly magic spear.
‘complete… … Is it okay?’
Kwaaang!
A blue flash swept over Aaron.
“……ha.”
I took a deep breath.
The confrontation is over. The decision was made with just one exchange.
The dust that had risen in the arena cleared.
A panoramic view of the ruined stage was soon revealed.
The ground was completely dug up.
bang!
In front of the stage, a super-large signboard that was split in two fell down.
The crowd fell silent for an instant.
If there were audience seats in front of me, dozens of people would have easily died prematurely.
Cool.
I vomited a handful of blood.
I wiped it off with my sleeve and brushed it off.
‘Maximum output.’
I did everything in my power without any oversight.
If I had the energy to wield the spear at the opponent even once, it was my defeat.
“Bah, what just…”
“With one sword… have you finished everything?”
I looked ahead
Aaron stands still with his spear outstretched.
The ground he was standing on was not even slightly damaged.
It’s just a V-shaped digging from the side.
‘The sword soul… … .’
I laughed dejectedly.
ping!
The sound of the wind was belatedly heard and the skin on his neck tore.
Kwajik.
There was a hole in the middle of Bifrost’s blade.
Tuduk.
Fighting.
Cracks spread from the hole.
kaching.
Bifrost, broken in two, fell to the floor.
‘This child… … .’
how i made this
<What just happened?>
<Uh, looks like one player used a special skill. great. It’s hard to believe he’s a 4 star. The weapon couldn’t withstand the power of the skill.>
[Toto is my life (Tazza11): Wow… it’s so strong;]
[Hou38: I told you to bet. It’s a 4-star ride.]
[Restio0: Master, buy him a weapon. How many counts will the sword break?]
“It’s hot, mad dog! Good thing I bet you!”
“If that’s enough, let alone the swordsman, even if the swordsman’s grandfather comes, I’ll be able to eat it.”
“Tskz, it looks like you missed it on purpose. If you hit it, you wouldn’t have left a corpse.”
You say you can’t stand it?
This Bifrost, can’t withstand the recoil of the sword soul?
It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time.
I laughed.
“…”
I raised my sword.
The upper part of the blade was missing, leaving a half hole.
‘… … It’s absurd.’
I barely managed to keep my body about to fall.
It’s not over yet. The finish remains.
“…”
Aaron didn’t move, just as he was with his spear outstretched.
the light in the eyes is off it did its best
only once. It was the best Aaron could afford.
“It makes no sense.”
I approached Aaron with a split sword.
“You have to do it in moderation, nigga. It’s going to get in the way of the mission.”
“…”
“What about this? Ask me.”
Aaron didn’t answer.
I was looking at where I was with empty eyes.
‘dead.’
standing up
I smiled.
you don’t know
When you wake up, you won’t know what happened or what you did.
I won’t teach you until you know for yourself
now i get it
The reason why Niflheim participated in the World Raid even after giving up.
Things like the 5-star summons and the experiences of other trainees were trivial issues.
‘I caught the rod.’
I looked up again.
A deep smile hung on Muden’s lips as he sat at the ventilation shaft.
There is no turning back now.
The time Aaron spent must have been an unimaginable hell for me.
It will be like that in the future.
Like I said, your pain doesn’t go away.
‘But don’t worry.’
The abilities you have awakened to are not trivial, such as simple stabbing.
It is not cutting, stabbing, or swinging. It wasn’t physical, magic, non-attribute or penetrating.
No genius, even if there were ten Lidigion, could not imitate it.
business.
A unique attribute among thousands of skills and engravings that exist in Pick Me Up.
With that alone, Muden rose to a position close to invincibility.
I raised the broken sword.
In front of me is someone who has crossed a wall that humans cannot cross.
There was one monster who lived through thousands, hundreds of thousands, and tens of millions of nights.
A genius who knows ten if he knows one.
But even that genius can’t go beyond the set limits.
Even though the lion is the king of beasts, it is as if it cannot cross the wall of creatures.
This guy was once a rabbit.
However, now it is not a rabbit.
It wasn’t even a lion.
It became something else with a slightly different standard, whose identity could not be guessed.
‘Aaron.’
He’s no longer the guy I used to know.
By the time you return to Taoni… … .
“bye.”
I lowered the broken sword.
“…”
thud.
I heard the sound of Aaron collapsing.
At that moment, a shadow appeared out of nowhere and retrieved Aaron’s body.
I smiled and sheathed the broken sword.
you don’t go in
“Ha, one player! Cool!”
The referee, who was buried in the rock fragments, arose.
The neat suit had become a rag.
“It’s a victory! Win, chu, congratulations…”
As I passed by and touched my shoulder, the referee collapsed.
I have a strong work ethic.
I walked down the aisle.
A few staff members held on to the fact that we had to hold an awards ceremony, but it couldn’t be like this.
I forcibly pushed it off and headed for the waiting room.
<Master, congratulations on winning.>
As if waiting, Yurnet’s voice tickled my ears.
“Take it easy, little. You almost lost. If that guy was normal, I’d be the one who lost.”
<Whoops, I believed you would overcome that much. Because it’s a master.>
“It’s okay. More than that… Bifrost is broken.”
<If it is an up attribute, natural healing is impossible. I will retrieve it and repair it.>
“Thank you for doing so.”
I pressed against the wall of the aisle.
the sky is yellow
“Aaron…”
<Muden won’t let go easily.>
“I guess so.”
’cause I’d be lonely
Well, that’s for later anyway.
“Say congratulations.”
<As commanded.>
Communication was cut off.
Footsteps could be heard from far down the aisle.
“……late.”
I leaned against the wall and closed my eyes.
