19. Episode 19

“Is it the lower part of the rocky mountain?”

After entering the dungeon at the top of the rocky mountain, the bottom of the cave was all the way downhill.

Since it was a dungeon built inside a rocky mountain and entered from the top, of course I expected it to go down, but I didn’t expect that there would be a cavity like this in the depths.

Judging by the size of the cavity, everything inside looked like a dungeon except for the outer wall that looked like a cliff.

“Besides, it is an artificially created place.”

I don’t know about caves, but there is no way that such a cavity was created naturally.

Looking at the name of the dungeon, it seemed most likely that it was created by a person called ‘Forgotten Hero’, but even so, this place was not a place that a single hero could create.

‘Well, you shouldn’t expect common sense in a dungeon.’

Dozens or hundreds of dungeons exist inside the tower. Among them, there were many places with shapes far beyond human common sense, like the cavity you see now.

For example, like ‘Cheongong Island’, which was an ancient dungeon floating in the sky, or ‘Ancient Dragon’s Abyss’ formed in the belly of a dead dragon.

“By the way, these… … .”

-The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ looks down at the joint with a strange look.

From nob le mt l dot com

Joints were never out of the ordinary.

The floor and walls were full of marks that looked like knife marks. There were cuts, punctures, and even dents as if something had been blown out.

To say that it was the ‘sword’ that created all these scars. If he attacked the stone with a sword, his teeth would soon fall out.

As proof of that, numerous types of swords were embedded in the floor of the cavity.

There were some that were fine, but most of them were scratched. It was like looking at the grave of swords.

and the common center.

There was one pillar, standing firm as if it were supporting the ceiling alone.

The moment he looked at it, Sewoon knew the purpose of this place.

“It was a kind of linked quest after all.”

A small hole drilled in the center of the column.

All the energy that existed in the cavity was spreading to the center of that hole.

and that hole.

hooked

It fit perfectly with the ‘Sword of a Forgotten Hero’ that Seun was holding.

The sword was lightly pushed in as if a key had been inserted into a keyhole.

– You have obtained the qualification to challenge the forgotten hero.

softly-

The mana that filled the cavity was concentrated, and the stones on the floor united to form a human figure.

Seeing the guy pulling out the sword on the floor, Sewoon tried to pull out the sword embedded in the pillar as well, but he didn’t move as if he were one body with the black pillar that had entered so lightly.

Seun’s expression frowned, and the system kindly informed him of the current situation.

– The Trial of the Forgotten Hero has begun.

– You cannot use any weapon except for the ‘Broken Sword’ that exists in common.

-Common mana begins to interfere with the use of magic.

– The moment you hold the ‘Broken Sword’, a battle with a forgotten hero begins.

Dealing with forgotten heroes without using magic or existing equipment.

Speaking of broken swords, as the name suggests, it was clear that he was referring to all the broken weapons seen around him.

Does it still give you the least amount of consideration?

– If you do not hold the ‘Broken Sword’ for 1 minute, your sparring qualifications will be canceled.

-If the sparring qualification is canceled, the ‘Sword of the Forgotten Hero’ will be retrieved and the dungeon entry qualification will be revoked.

It was set up so that those who were not confident could escape at any time. Of course, if you run away, the first discovery benefits of the dungeon and the ‘Forgotten Hero’s Sword’ will also be taken away.

Naturally, Sewoon had no intention of stepping down like this.

After looking around widely, I took out a longsword that seemed to be in good condition.

There were about two teeth missing, but among the common swords, they were in good condition.

– The sparring with the forgotten hero begins.

visor!!

The moment Sophistication gripped the sword, the hero who was lowering the sword diagonally rushed forward.

If he hadn’t struck the sword right away, he would have been seriously injured in one blow.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been a challenger.”

The stone gray hero opened his mouth. I thought it was simply an enemy set up as a boss monster, but it doesn’t seem to be that.

Perhaps his true identity is the remnant of a hero.

It must have been an existence created by combining the passions of the heroes who trained in this cavity.

“If it’s been a while, I guess there were other challengers besides me?”

“There was one a long time ago.”

“Seeing you alive, all those challengers must have failed.”

“That is correct.”

A heroic sword that swings horizontally.

It was a movement worthy of the name ‘Hero’ to think that a remnant that was not a substance had this much power.

Sewoon tried to block the sword head on, but he had no choice but to hide from the sound that followed.

From nob le mt l dot com

Jjaeng!

Seun’s sword broke.

No matter how ‘broken sword’ it is, the sword the hero is holding is also the same, so I thought it would break as well.

Such expectations were easily missed.

Even though Seun’s sword was broken, the sword the hero was holding didn’t budge a bit.

Sewoon rolls his body around and gets up from his seat and picks up the broken sword right next to him.

Seeing the hero following Se-eun right away, he didn’t even have time to check the condition of the sword.

“The reaction isn’t bad, but the movement isn’t that fast. Strange.”

Kang, Caang!

Crack!

It is the same this time.

I only hit the sword twice, but Sewoon’s sword breaks and the blade bounces off.

“You perceive my attacks more by experience than by the realm of talent. However, the movement of the body is not keeping up with the experience.”

Sewoon’s eyes twinkled.

He only shuffled the swords a few times, but the hero had an accurate grasp of Sewoon’s skills.

A weak body that cannot keep up with skilled experience.

It was a perfect interpretation of the current Sewoon.

“To use sword skills in the first chapter of the tutorial. Did you have any intention of passing the test in the first place?”

“Oh, did you notice the sword technique?”

The reason why the hero’s sword didn’t break was simple.

sword.

It means to use the sword as a medium to infuse inner energy and radiate energy to the extent that it can be seen.

It is known that the sword’s cutting power and durability increase significantly the moment it is blown into it, so even if a stick is held in the hands of those who handle it, it becomes a great killing weapon.

As such, it was the ‘sword skill’ that could never be used by a master who had mastered the sword.

To be able to show such sword skills in the first chapter of the tutorial. There was a reason no one had passed so far.

No, the location was absurd in the first place.

If you didn’t have the physical ability to climb the cliffs of a rocky mountain with your bare body and the detection ability to find a dungeon, you wouldn’t have reached this place.

“And if you can’t pass this, it’s better not to pass.”

“Is this place worth that much?”

“That’s what you’ll find out if you defeat me first.”

Taat!

The hero’s attacks were consistent.

attack only.

It was a move that could be made because he was clearly aware of the difference in skill.

If you want to block it, try to block it, if you can avoid it, try to avoid it, if you can counterattack, try to counterattack.

It was a possible attack because he had confidence in his swordsmanship.

So Sewoon had no choice but to evade.

Utilize the footsteps of Shiro Damtou to avoid attacks as much as possible, and observe the opponent’s swordsmanship.

However, the hero surpassed Sewoon in not only his sword skills but also his abilities. There was a limit to avoiding it, and whenever it was unavoidable, I had to sacrifice my sword and buy myself.

“Are you going to keep avoiding it? It’s not a monster, and I don’t intend to quietly figure out its attack pattern.”

Indeed, that was exactly what it meant.

A normal boss monster would show a certain attack pattern and prepare for the attack accordingly, but the hero’s attack produced dozens or hundreds of variables.

Even in the same situation and the same posture, a different attack came every time, so it seemed that if I guessed the attack, I would suffer more damage.

‘Unless it can be avoided or prevented.’

Seun recalls one martial art.

Tai Chi.

If he used that trick, he seemed to be able to let go of the hero’s sword.

After sacrificing another sword to the approaching hero’s sword, Sewoon corrected his eyes and activated the power of greed.

– Opened the treasure house of greed.

[ Taegeuk Sword (太極劍) ]

– As the basic swordsmanship of the Shaman School, it is equipped with the technique of Taiji like Taijiquan.

As long as he had Mamon’s treasure, he didn’t have to worry about bringing the techniques of Tai Chi to the sword.

From nob le mt l dot com

Just by opening the treasure house, the description of the Taegeuk sword permeates into your head.

“Your eyes have changed. Can I look forward to it now?”

A hero always leaps toward Seun.

As in Tai Chi, Sewoon spins his sword slowly.

The two eyes activate ‘night owl eyes’ and observe the hero’s movements more sharply than ever.

From nob le mt l dot com

Just before the sword approaches.

‘Raise the diagonal line and cut!’

The tip of the hero’s sword tilted downward, and the right foot moved forward.

Sewoon’s sword, which had been spinning so slowly that it might have stopped, moved along with the hero’s sword.

“Hoo?”

Tsutsutsutsut!

It was different from the past, where he simply accepted the sword.

It moves along the hero’s sword, and very slowly leads it to another place.

This is the secret of the Taiji Sword.

Even if you push the sword, even if you twist the direction suddenly, even if you draw the sword out in a hurry, there will be a loophole.

However, the opponent is not the one who will be flustered and reveal his loopholes.

As befits a skilled person capable of displaying sword skills, he stretches out his left foot in an unexpected place and completely escapes the range of Taegeuk he was drawing.

This alone is a great enough move, but the hero doesn’t stop there, but instead winds up Sewoon’s sword.

The trajectory twisted, and my wrist couldn’t stand it, so I let go of the sword.

“It was a good move, but that alone… … .”

The hero, who was about to give advice leisurely, shut his mouth for a moment.

It was because Sewoon, who had thought that he would definitely take a step back and start reorganizing, was rushing at him.

Are you trying to use the kwonbeop or the gakbeop?

However, after sparring to this extent, one would not be able to know that it was an act of suicide.

The moment the hero took a light step out and swung the sword, Sewoon’s body would be split in two.

And the hero could see. The broken sword in Seun’s other hand.

“Suddenly!”

-Through internal air, the third herbivore of the blood sword method, blood attack (血狼襲擊) is strengthened.

Sewoon’s inner strength raged wildly.

The inner air was surrounded by the broken sword and became a red fang. Because it is not up to the level of sword skill, this attack will break the sword, but it didn’t matter.

only one room. One attack is enough.

Kwaaang!!

The moment Sewoon swung his sword, the wolf’s howl filled his cavity.
