71. 12 The God of Choice. Maria (3)
Taesan moved her arm gently. The movement of bouncing the swords contained a naturalness that had never been seen before.
‘Is it moving like this?’
Draw a trajectory in your head and move it with your body. Modify the movement of the sword in real time.
It was crazy. Swordsmanship is something that has been slowly accumulated and perfected over countless years .
If you suddenly change during battle, it will only take your life with a clumsy move, let alone a meaningful change.
However, the ghost doesn’t say anything and Tae-san also fixes it like he’s convinced.
Pull your elbows and shake your wrists. Until now, the hand holding the sword moved wildly like a beast. It can’t be said to be bad, but it was dull and thick like ink splattered on white paper.
However, the swordsmanship that will unfold from now on is the exact opposite.
The tip of the sword shakes. like sword dance. but has the will to kill
It passed smoothly like a dance, but each trajectory was a fatal attack.
Kagak.
Swords clash and sparks fly. Taishan’s sword gently rides down the knight’s sword, scraping through his armor.
squeak.
Hard armor cuts like cloth. Taesan holds the sword in reverse and gently passes the attack towards the blind spot.
The knights were agitated by the movement that had completely changed, and that seemed to be the movement.
Taesan presses on without missing the gap.
As he moved both hands, the knight raised his sword to block it.
Taesan instantly twists the trajectory of his hand, passes the sword, and pierces the knight’s chest.
While pulling out his sword, he blocks attacks aimed at his back.
Kagak.
Just like that, I ride the blade and go down. Move like water and cut your forearms, shoulders and armpits.
The knight can’t do anything and loses an arm.
‘more.’
a little softer. However, the characteristics of swordsmanship do not disappear.
Move both hands at the same time. It makes completely different movements smoothly, just like someone else’s hand. He cuts off his sword and counterattacks gently.
The knights began to greatly agitate. The pressure that has been working well so far
has changed to not working at all, and hesitation and disbelief stand in their movements. There is no chance of winning in such a situation. One more knight finally falls under Taishan’s sword attack.
Two are left.
The knights’ bewilderment subsided. They match each other perfectly and aim for Mount Tae. Taesan moves his fingertips. As before, a dance-like sword strike unfolds.
Kagagak!
The sword makes a loud noise. There was no agitation from the knights like before
. Move the sword in response to the changed movement of Taishan.
They start to run with force. Trying to trample the dance with violence.
Taesan stamped his foot.
Rotate your body and pull your left hand to your right. Slide your right hand to the right.
The body turns to the right and rotates. The sword of the knight on the left misses. The knight on the right has a hit point and the force is not applied properly.
shed energy through dance
And the sword attack has changed.
It rushes towards the knight on the right. Its movement was more like a beast than a dance.
first sword. The wolf’s fangs cut through the article. It was the same swordsmanship as the first time the knight faced him, so if he recalled his memory without panicking, he could block it.
However, the knight couldn’t block the trajectory of the completely opposite swordsmanship. He moves his sword hurriedly, but there are wounds all over his armor.
When the knight barely begins to respond, the movement changes again. Like a dance
, softly like a dancer.
Kagak!
The knight cannot withstand the ever-changing swordsmanship and perishes.
It wasn’t difficult at all to catch the remaining knight.
It rushes with movements like that of a dancer. The knight desperately blocks it, but he alone lacks both strength and speed. Not to mention, the level of swordsmanship is also superior to Taesan, so the knight cannot last long and collapses.
“after.”
Taesan
looked down at my hand. A completely different swordsmanship from before unfolded on his hand.
“Skill window.”
[Advanced Skill: Storm Scar Sword]
[Proficiency: 22%]
[Swordsmanship handed down from a ruined world. Now only one is learning it. You can be confident that you are an initiator.]
I reached 22% before I knew it.
The ghost who was watching burst into the admiration he had been
holding back.
[I thought I would teach you soon, but I never imagined that I would learn it myself.]
“What is this?”
As if this was the correct answer from the beginning, the swordsmanship unfolded on its own. Ghost explained.
[Second sword. dancer’s dance. If it is a sword driven by wolf teeth, the dance of the dancer gently approaches and plucks the neck. It is to reduce the roughness that is characteristic of swordsmanship as much as possible and cut with the optimal movement. Isn’t that bad?]
“Quite a bit.”
I couldn’t say which one had the upper hand.
Wolf teeth were good when dealing with low-ranking enemies, and the dancer’s dance was good when dealing with equal or multiple enemies.
However, it was a great advantage that the two swords had completely different styles.
If the dancer’s dance had been used from the beginning, the knights would have responded accordingly.
However, in the middle of the battle, the style
changed to the opposite, and they were embarrassed at the moment.
If you don’t know if you don’t know if you have no intellect, if you have even shallow intellect, you will definitely work.
This made a huge difference in combat.
[Is it also a law that has to be pushed to the limit? It’s a complex swordsmanship, so I thought I’d explain it to you step by step… but it’s amazing.] Elongated Leaving
behind the admiring ghost, Taesan straightened up.
I caught all the monsters in sight
, but there were still monsters left.
“I don’t even attack anymore.”
An invisible monster that kept bothering him. It was my turn to catch him.
I was annoyed during the battle, and as a result of little by little inference, I was able to find a rough answer.
‘He’s not the one who goes to another dimension.’
Monsters hiding in the so-called second dimension and attacking. At first, I thought it was them, but the chances of that happening
were quite low.
Perhaps because of the advantage of hiding in another dimension, other abilities were often insignificant.
However, there was no way he could have the ability to move to a dimension in addition to stealth.
Even if there is, it exists only when you go down to a fairly deep level, so it wasn’t a monster that would appear like this.
Then it became simple. Space movement was much lower than dimension movement. So stealth and space travel. There were quite a few monsters that could use both at the same time.
‘The high-ranking succubus was like that too.’
Taesan activated her magic. Frost arrows began to fill the space one by one.
Before long, twenty arrows of frost filled the room. Taesan grabbed his main meal.
[You activated a magic explosion.]
Jjoong!
The arrows of frost exploded in unison, and shards of ice hit the room. The magic explosion
deals damage regardless of enemies .
As Taesan’s physical strength was very low, he was also dangerous, but it didn’t matter.
[Your resistance has been activated. Attacks leading to death were nullified. All damage becomes 0 for 1 second.]
Endurance was a skill that made it possible to use a kind of self-destruction without any problems. Taesan’s prediction hit the mark and a scream erupted.
“Gyaaaaa!”
[43 damage to the goblin magician.]
[44 damage to the goblin magician.]
[You defeated the goblin magician
.]
As soon as I caught the last monster, a system window appeared.
[You have passed Mary’s ordeal. You will be rewarded according to Maria’s evaluation.]
[Maria was very satisfied with your unfeigned choice and achievements. Maria wants to give you a reasonable reward.]
[Mary’s interference area has been reduced.]
[Maria gives you a reward. You received [Form-changing weapon]
.]
[You cleared the enhanced trial. Additional rewards follow.]
[You received a special activation skill [Freedom of Choice].]
As always, weapons and skills. In addition to Maria’s reward, the proficiency of several skills increased significantly, probably thanks to the battle with limits, and the content changed, and new skills were also obtained.
Before I could confirm it, the offer came in.
[Mary offers you the Apostle’s Covenant.]
“I won’t accept it.”
refuse as always The apostle had no intention of accepting it yet. I thought I could hear the sound of a chuckle.
Suddenly, as if the power beyond had made up its mind to something, it stopped swaying.
“hmm?”
Taesan hesitated.
Suddenly the mood wasn’t good.
Something huge started crashing in.
[Uh uh.]
“Wait.”
[Maria’s irrational choice activated. Maria’s interference area is reduced.]
[You are invited. choices are given. bow to the invitation VS responds to the invitation.]
[Forced selection. You accepted the invitation.]
[The Pantheon welcomes you.]
The world changes.
As if being painted over with a darker color, everything starts to be covered. The body is forcibly dragged
into the changed space .
« o ”
My head was dizzy from the momentary movement of space. After recovering from motion sickness for a moment, Taesan raised his head.
And I was possessed with a laugh.
“what is this.”
What if there was empty space in the universe? A black space stretched out. It was a completely black space where nothing could be seen even when looking at the end.
[…nonsense.]
The ghost groans in amazement
.
[no. this is not How did God get you here? Invitations are impossible.]
The ghost muttered incessantly. It was as if he had witnessed the destruction of the world.
“Damn you invited.”
There was only one magnificent temple in the empty space.
“It’s filthy big.”
Looking up, I couldn’t see the end of the ceiling. It was the size of a mountain.
As Taishan approached the temple, the ghost
was startled.
[Wait a minute. wait. You can’t go in without thinking.]
Seeing the ghost hurriedly stopping him, Taesan felt a strange feeling. It was the first time I had ever seen such a frightened ghost.
‘Is it that scary?’
“Did you invite me? You should see your handsome face.”
If you stay still, nothing will happen, so going in is the correct answer. The ghost seemed to know that too, but
he didn’t say anything more.
Sigh.
The huge door opened softly. Inside the temple, Taesan burst into admiration and admiration.
“What is this again?”
The jewels were splendidly spread out like a flower garden.
black jewels golden jewels white jewels and so on. It was the amount and kind that made my eyes hurt. The ghost, who had been silent, groaned.
[That…]
The ghost’s gaze turned to the strangely shaped jewel that looked like silver and gold.
“What is that?”
[…It’s a gem made by compressing meteorites that came down from the stars. There was only one in our world, and the sword made from it… It destroyed a continent.] It destroyed a
continent, not a country.
There were thousands of such gems here.
[The archmage managed to seal it with heat, but what…]
[You’re surprised to see such a trivial toy.]
A voice mixed with laughter rang out.
[Honestly, what is valuable about this place to you? Even the splendid pile of scrap metal is something you will never see again.]
A clear voice echoes in the temple.
Taesan turned his head.
I saw a woman with long hair up to her ankles.
The rich golden hair
was impressive.
He was looking down at them with a languid face somewhere.
It was in human form.
But it didn’t feel human at all.
First of all, it was huge.
There was a size difference between a kitten and a human between Taesan and the woman.
It was a difference in size that would have made her neck hurt from looking up had it not been for the woman lying on her back.
And feel the great power.
The woman smiled.
[Nice to meet you, my dear.]
Along with greetings, numerous judgments were attempted.
Level up with skill
