– Volume 6 Episode 19
144. 32 Advanced swordsmanship. Ability Sword (1)
While Taesan moved to the next room, the ghost asked in a curious tone.
[You’ve been thinking about it for an hour or so, right? What were you thinking then?]
“It’s nothing special. I just rethought my basics.”
The basis of his strength is skill.
Swordsmanship and stats were all incidental.
But this ordeal is an ordeal of swordsmanship. I couldn’t use the skill.
So, of course, Taesan thought that he couldn’t use the skill,
but after a while, Taesan came up with an idea.
‘I was able to use the skill because I drew the effect into my body in the first place.’
All of them were used even before he learned the skill.
So there is no need to obsess over skills
. If he can’t use the skill, he can draw out the effect himself.
As I started to fight with that thought in mind, I was able to use several skills naturally.
[That’s true… I made it miraculously.]
The ghost laughed after hearing Taesan’s story. It was a kind of change of thinking. The ghost had never thought of it that way.
Chunk.
While talking about that, a monster appeared.
Taesan faced the knight in armor.
Chunk.
The knight raises his sword. The ghost speaks impatiently.
[hurry. I feel like I’m going to die of frustration.]
“Let’s check it slowly.”
Taesan pulled out two swords.
He ran towards the knight.
Kagagak!
Sword and sword collide. Taesan’s movements that drove the knights were wilder than before.
[As expected, swordsmanship has also changed. It’s a little rougher and cruder than my swordsmanship?]
The ghost’s swordsmanship was perfect. As much as that, there were few weaknesses in swordsmanship, and his movements were sophisticated.
However, Taesan’s movements were more crude and rough than that, and
his weaknesses were noticeable here and there.
[It’s not bad though.]
“Because this is my swordsmanship.”
Tae-san himself created his own sword technique, not something he received from someone else.
The more you raise your proficiency, the higher the degree of perfection will go. If it reached that level, it was clear that it would be a skill that would suit Taesan better than the storm-scarred sword.
[This is a problem that can be solved by raising the proficiency.]
“This is done.”
It was real from now on.
As the name suggests, the ability sword he created was a swordsmanship linked to skill. Of course, some skills have changed.
One of them was Acceleration, which was activated for the first time.
[Special activation skill: Acceleration]
[Mana consumption: 5]
[Proficiency level: 21%]
[Accelerates toward the target faster.]
[Condition: Advanced swordsmanship [Ability sword
]
[Sword speed as well as the body accelerates. . This effect continues to activate after consuming additional mana if the timing is right.]
[Ohhhh.]
The ghost couldn’t hide its emotions and burst into admiration.
[It has really changed. Even the condition of being an ability sword is attached. This is really outside the standard.]
The ghost, who was reading the content with great enthusiasm, read the last sentence.
[If the timing is right,
will it continue to activate?]
“That must be the condition. I knew roughly how it felt.”
Caang!
Taesan gave strength to the sword. I kicked my foot at the knight who bounced back.
[You activate acceleration.]
The body speeds up. In addition, the speed of the sword is also increased. Taesan struck the sword at the knight.
Kagagak!
The article blocked it. At the same time,
Taesan moved the sword in his other hand.
Kwajik.
Pierce the knight’s body.
[This is really great.]
The ghost possessed a blank laugh.
In fact, doubling the speed of swinging the sword was the same as doubling agility at all. If there were no restrictions, it was a skill that would not allow comparison itself.
Taesan continues to attack without stopping. The ghost, who had been watching quietly, realized that there was a certain interval in the movement.
[Did I have to time the sword strike perfectly?]
“It’s quite difficult to activate.”
The interval between when each sword strike hits or blocks the opponent. The two had to match each other. Compared to learning addition, the judgment is relatively broad, but unlike addition, it was not so easy as it is a condition that changes depending on the opponent’s response.
[It’s hard to make any changes because the timing has to be matched… The pattern will become constant.]
“Perhaps.”
Taesan deliberately slowed down the sword attack for a moment. Then the acceleration was released immediately and the speed of the body returned to its original state.
He raised his sword towards the knight who was barely able to stand up.
[You activated Blitz.]
Kaaang!
The article bounced far away.
There was also a condition that the timing had to be matched like acceleration. Because the knight flew backwards, he could not attack, and because he could not match the attack interval, the attack ended.
The ghost judged coldly.
[It’s definitely powerful, but the downside is clear.]
The effect of the skill is brought out to swordsmanship. Looking at it, it was unbelievable. It meant that you could raise your strength and agility close to the ship just by looking at the strong attack or acceleration.
But the restrictions were too severe.
[Whether or not you can activate it depends on the opponent’s response, doesn’t it? It’s a passive swordsman. It’s quite compatible.]
If the opponent uses magic,
he couldn’t activate it properly. It was because access itself was difficult in the first place.
It was the same even if the opponent was a monster with strong strength like a giant. It was difficult to strike at the right timing against a powerful enemy with one shot.
In addition, it seemed difficult to use in various situations, such as when the opponent was a ghost or used the power of nature like a spirit.
[Are other skills similar?]
“All of them have one condition.”
The case of bewitched was similar. The opponent
‘s attack had to be swung by Taesan’s sword within a certain period to activate continuously.
Leaps and consecutive attacks also had their own conditions.
[It’s tricky.]
“But it’s a useful swordsmanship.”
[Good swordsmanship.]
The ghost affirmed. Although the conditions were demanding and passive swordsmanship, it was still very good swordsmanship.
A skill that raises stats nearly twice as long as conditions are met.
In addition, the opponent does not know what kind of skill Taesan has. If you deal with it right away, you have no choice but to panic like the ghost did.
When that happens, movement is naturally restricted, and Taesan can catch the flow.
It wasn’t that difficult to fulfill the conditions if the haul went as planned.
And the stronger the person, the harder it will be to respond to Taesan’s skill. Those
with Acceleration, Leap, and Continuous Attack
know the effects of those skills.
He tried to respond based on the information he had, but it was clear that he would get involved in Taesan’s skill, which had a completely different effect.
“I am satisfied.”
Kwajik.
Taesan knocked the knight down and laughed.
This was an achievement beyond what he had initially envisaged.
still immature The swordsmanship was crude, and the activation of the skill was also unaccustomed to
.
But it will get better with time.
The conditions will gradually ease as you raise your proficiency.
The effect of the skill will also become stronger and affect more skills.
As Taishan becomes stronger, many things will change. In the end, there was a good chance that it would become his main skill as perfect as addition and multiplication.
“good.”
It was very satisfying.
Taesan continued to train his swordsmanship as he broke through the labyrinth.
Although the difference in stats with monsters was large, he was still very immature in swordsmanship, so he was able to gradually master it with just such light combat. He gradually raised his proficiency and attacked the 32nd floor.
[A magic stone crushed by power]
[Magic + 30]
[A magic stone crushed by those who hate magic. Even so, the magical power contained within did not disappear.]
“It was good.”
Received magic equipment as a reward for the secret room. I was thinking of going to Lilith and offering her as a tribute to learn magic.
Taesan continued on and reached the boss.
The boss was a knight in black armor. It was a very radical and fast movement , as if it had the intelligence of a beast
. If you are dealing with it for the first time, you have the power to be quite embarrassed.
“It’s perfect for practice.”
[You activated a strong attack.]
Caang!
The knight bounces off and Taesan immediately clings to him and swings his sword again. Since the interval between the attacks is matched, the strong attack is triggered in succession.
With a few attacks like that, I defeated the boss on the 32nd floor.
[The proficiency of the ability sword has increased by 1%.]
Taesan successfully activated all of the assaults until he defeated the boss.
[You get used to it quickly. Is it because it is a swordsmanship that suits you well? The speed is incomparable to that of the storm scar?]
“Very good.”
It was a swordsmanship that really only made me laugh.
Another plus was that it was fun. The process of activating it after meeting the conditions and maintaining it was enjoyable.
It was a feeling I hadn’t felt in quite a while
.
Taesan confirmed the reward for clearing the 32nd floor.
[Bloody Armor]
[Defense + 4]
[Armor worn by those who are now forgotten until they die. After his death, he came here.]
Defense was 40. It was a high number. Taishan muttered as he put on his armor.
“I’m not really surprised by this.” At 40
, it was similar to the sum of all the additional effects of all equipment when
he cleared Easy Mode .
That kind of thing can now be handled with one device. After a long time, the gap was felt again.
[Used uh??]
[Obtained a red rose thorn.]
“Is it a material item?”
The equipment was not visible.
[Red rose thorn]
[I removed the thorn from the red rose guarding the witch’s garden. If you attach it somewhere, it will become very sharp
.]
“The material is correct.”
If you take it to the blacksmith, he will make it into equipment. As he was about to pick up the thorn, the whip on Taishan’s wrist slapped his arm.
“…to ask?”
As if affirming, the whip wrapped around Taesan’s arm. Taesan threw the thorn away, and the whip came up and swallowed the thorn.
[The wrist guard with murderous intent swallowed up the thorns of the red rose. ATK + 20]
“Oh.”
Along with the high attack power increase, sharp thorns were created on the whip. The whip slapped my arm like it was pleasing.
“It stings.”
There was no damage, but the thorns pricked the skin.
“What’s this?”
Equipment that swallows items by itself. never heard of it The ghost said it shyly as if it were the first time.
[Self-reinforcing equipment? First time seeing this
. It’s really good?]
You don’t have to go to the blacksmith, and the level of reinforcement is high. It was definitely useful. I was just wondering what this was.
“I’ll have to ask you later.”
The shopkeeper could have known the secret. After finishing the treatment, Taesan headed up again before going down the floor.
On the 33rd floor, there is the Battlefield of the Gods that Bargan said.
I thought I would finish preparing enough before going there.
Taesan went back to the 31st floor
to find Lilith. She greeted him with a bright face.
“I’m here? You didn’t come for a while, so I thought you abandoned it!”
“I haven’t come up with anything to offer as a tribute,”
Taesan handed over the magic stone. Lilith accepted it with a smile and began to pray.
Soon after, I began to feel the aura of the god of magic.
Taesan stared blankly at the energy.
‘I feel different than before.’
A further evolved ??? skill.
I don’t know what it is yet, but I can feel the will, the ghost said.
Perhaps because of that, the power of the gods, who had previously felt far away, felt a little closer.
While Taesan was grasping the power, Lilith breathed heavily as if she had finished everything.
“it’s over.”
[You have learned the beginner magic [Stigma].]
“It’s still beginner magic.”
“ah. I have something to say about that.”
” What?”
“This is true.”
Lilith had an ambiguous face. It was a look of joy and fear.
“I don’t know if God was joking or if he meant it, but I’m like a joke? It’s still on the 30th floor, so this doesn’t make sense.”
“Tell me properly. What are you talking about?”
She said with a very ambiguous face.
“The God of Magic said while accepting this offering. Sooner or later, higher level magic will be provided.”
“A magic higher than beginner level?”
If so, it was one. Lilith nodded her head.
“Now you are allowed to use intermediate magic!”
Level up with skill
