Stormbringer (1)
Sang-woo was surprised on his way home.
‘Stormbringer?’
It was a skill I had never heard of.
Besides, it’s a sword.
Then I remembered Sword Seeker.
‘Ah, Gluttony was taught swordsmanship by the Sword Seeker.’
Sangwoo tried to use the Familiar skill on Gluttony, but gave up.
Because I didn’t want to feel that terrible hunger.
‘I’ll have to go home and see Sword Seeker tomorrow.’
Sang-woo headed home at once.
* * *
A few hours ago.
In the hotel room, the Sword Seeker was carefully examining Gluttony.
-Put your arm out.
“yes.”
Gluttony held out his right arm.
The cracked muscles and prominent tendons stood out.
In addition, it is a whole bone, even an exceptionally thick wrist.
The arm length was also unusually long.
‘It’s also a good muscle to use a sword.’
The Sword Seeker, who was carefully examining Gluttony’s body, quietly placed his hand on Gluttony’s arm.
It was to take a closer look at Gluttony’s accumulated mana level.
Through his hand, mana penetrated into Gluttony’s body.
‘Even if it’s an alter ego, it has all the internal organs. But everything is made of mana.’
The alter ego had a seemingly complete reality.
physically.
‘But it’s just the dense mana materialized. Perhaps, when the mana bonds are dissipated to some extent, this alter ego will return to mana.’
Even the sword seeker who had gone through all the battles had never seen such an existence.
If it’s something similar to an alter ego, it’s like a doppelganger.
‘It’s impossible even with magic. Sharing experiences there… It’s an ability outside the standard.’
What if Sang-woo, who handles dozens of alter egos, handles his own sword?
‘If that happens… I might be able to beat him.’
Knowing that it was a futile hope, the Sword Seeker smiled bitterly.
Instead, I just do my best in the current situation.
It was when the magical power of the Sword Seeker that had been roaming around Gluttony’s body at that time reached Gluttony’s torso.
A strange part got caught in the Sword Seeker’s mana.
‘What is this?’
It was Gluttony’s stomach, the symbol of gluttony.
As soon as the Sword Seeker’s mana reached the power of gluttony, it began to greedily suck it up.
‘Kuh….’
Sword Seeker’s judgment of the situation was quick.
Having experienced beings that absorb mana a few times, the Sword Seeker quickly lost some of his mana, leaving some of it behind.
That judgment was correct.
Gluttony, who had absorbed Sword Seeker’s mana in an instant, was looking at him without any change in expression.
It didn’t look like a system message, but mana must have risen considerably.
And even in the meantime,
[327kg of Titan Skeleton’s bone meal was digested.]
[Magical resistance increased by 0.001.]
Digestion continued.
Since there was still something left to digest, Gluttony was in a fairly calm (?) state.
– You have dangerous abilities.
The Sword Seeker conveyed his intention, but there was no answer from Gluttony.
Looking at that alter ego, the Sword Seeker smiled.
‘River… I’ll prepare a present that’s going to get in the way.’
alter ego and absorption abilities.
If he added his own swordsmanship to it, it would be a pretty great gift.
Sword Seeker decided to teach Gluttony in earnest.
-It’s a bit late to see the muscles and bones. Let’s start the swordplay right away.
Gluttony didn’t respond.
Only saliva dripped from the cracks in his lips.
Sword Seeker continued.
-The swordsmanship I will teach you is the ‘Stormbringer’ swordsmanship. It’s the best swordsmanship in the empire that made me where I am today.
The StormBringer method.
Literally translated, it was the sword that brought the storm, and the point of this sword technique was to load the sword with wind.
-If you were my real disciple, I would explain the history and maintenance of this sword technique, but I won’t explain it because it’s not. The gist of this swordsmanship is simple. The ultimate aim of this sword is to create, handle, and control the wind with the sword, and eventually become one with the wind. It is a swordsmanship that handles the state of Auror, which is one of the few in the empire.
If most of the sword techniques are tied to the ‘brother’ of how to move the sword, the Stormbringer sword technique is a sword technique that focuses on the realm of aura rather than the form of sword technique.
Because of this, it possesses power that is different from that of ordinary sword techniques.
‘The problem is that it’s difficult to learn.’
That’s why even in the family, only he was able to thrive.
-If you master this sword technique, you can create typhoons, whirlwinds, and thunderstorms. It’s not that strong at first, of course. I’ll show you an example first.
The Sword Seeker held up an old sword in its sheath.
Then, with his right arm, he thrust the sword forward.
Then, pointing the sword at Gluttony, he began drawing small circles.
Round and round.
At the same time, a little wind began to rise around the sword.
It
was calm at first, but then a light breeze and then a wind started to blow like a fan turned on.
Gluttony’s hair blew in the wind.
And later,
a gust of wind began to blow inside the hotel room
.
It wasn’t a typhoon, but the entire hotel room was agitated by the movement of the wind, as if a strong fan had been turned on.
The lamp on the table fell to the floor, blankets and curtains fluttered wildly, and hotel guide booklets and tissues fluttered in all directions.
It was unbelievable that such power was exerted with a sword.
It felt like magic.
Despite seeing such a great sight, Gluttony’s expression did not change.
-This is the Wind Slash that controls the 3rd stage wind and cuts it down. how about
“…….”
Looking at the alter ego without an answer, the Sword Seeker felt it was meaningless to explain the theory.
-Hmm… First of all, let’s learn from step 1. The first step is to learn the quicksword. It’s a state of stillness for the storm core mana engine. Of course, Mana Engine can teach you only if you become a disciple. So, let me tell you the sword type first.
After that, the sword seeker took the basic stance and swung the sword with a downward slash.
He barely moved his arms, only his wrists moving lightly.
But it was very fast.
Shhh-
Then, unlike the previous casting action, the sound of the wind clearly resonated from the sword.
And the airflow in the hotel room was also slightly shaken.
– The place where the sword passed is temporarily emptied of air. And as the atmosphere moves into that empty space, wind rises. The first stage of Stormbringer’s goal is to create a ‘vacuum state’ by swinging the sword as quickly as possible. Sword type is just a skill to swing the sword quickly that exists to help with this.
The Sword Seeker swung his sword again with those words.
No, only the wrists moved up and down.
The sword was swung twice like that.
at an invisible speed.
Shhh-
The sound of the wind was once, but this time it was louder.
– Has the wind gotten stronger? It cuts back the space that is a vacuum to widen the vacuum again. Then more wind blows due to the pressure difference. To do that, you need to be able to move your sword quickly with minimal movement. With a snap of the wrist. And once you can wield the sword at high speed with a wrist snap like this, you increase the swinging speed in the order of elbow, shoulder, torso, waist, and leg.
Sword Seeker’s words were simple.
‘Swing the sword quickly to create a vacuum.’
Then the wind is born.
At first glance, it seemed to simply swing quickly.
However, this is only the first stage, the stage of the older brother, and the story changes when you learn the storm core mana engine and load the wind attribute into mana.
If casting with the first level of the Stormbringer sword method feels forced, then using the storm core mana engine to awaken the mana attribute and cast it feels assimilated with the wind.
‘I can’t transfer the mana engine, so I have to transfer only some of the stages of the sword type.’
However, because he was not a disciple, he could not give up his everything.
He intended to teach only the first stage, which did not require a mana engine, to Sang-woo.
That’s why only the sword type of the speed sword, which is the first step of the Stormbringer sword method, was being passed on.
-And if this quicksword becomes faster, it will be able to create enough wind even in the first stage. Let’s taste it first…
The Sword Seeker swung the sword with the scabbard again.
with just the wrist.
But this time, the movement of the sword continued without a break.
[Baekyeoncham]
The quicksword of the 1st stage instantly cut through a place in the air without stopping.
However, it was so fast that from the outside it looked like he had swung the sword only once.
And when the yeoncham was over
,
the wind blew into the place where the yeoncham was swung.
After the wind blew through the hotel room for a while.
Gluttony stood blankly in the quiet hotel room.
-When the wind blows like this, you can attack by carrying sword energy with the wind. how about Do you understand?
“yes.”
Gluttony replied.
Sword Seeker didn’t expect Gluttony to answer, so he was interested in hearing that answer.
-Then, open your sword once.
Then Gluttony pulled out the sword he was holding.
It was a black longsword made of titanium alloy often used by hunters.
Gluttony, holding the sword lightly in his right hand, stretched out his sword-holding hand forward as he stood with his legs spread shoulder-width apart, just as the sword-seeker had stood.
Then he waved his wrist.
Shhhh-
The sword that was cut down made the sound of the wind.
The speed was quite fast, which surprised the Sword Seeker.
‘I’m imitating the speedy sword.’
The long-suffering Sword Seeker tried again.
– Unfold two quick swords in a row.
What he asked for this time was Lee Yeon-cham.
And Gluttony did just that.
Shiiik-
The sword swung with only the wrist cut through space twice at unbelievable speed before stopping.
‘Is it because your wrist strength is innate? It’s great that you’re using a lotus root right away. And even though it’s just a skill to wield a sword, it’s surprising that he understands the gist of swordsmanship right away.’
The speed sword at the stage of 1st level of stillness is said to have strong wrist strength, so it is difficult to follow immediately.
It was necessary to understand the centrifugal force of swinging the sword and to have a grip that could stop the sword when the maximum power was applied.
In other words, when swinging the sword, half of the energy had to be left in order to fire the second strike.
Most of the first learners do not know this fact because they do not know it and do their best to swing it recklessly and quickly.
And I had to feel the sensation of the blade cutting through the wind.
‘He had more sense than he looked.’
He didn’t know that the alter ego possessed an incredible amount of concentration.
The Sword Seeker demanded more after giving up.
-The undercut seems to be working fine. Then, can I open the Baekyeoncham once?
“yes.”
The hand holding Gluttony’s sword stretched forward again.
Then my wrists started moving like crazy.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh she Wrerezezere
swordsman, it’s not comparable to a sword seeker, but it’s a fast sword that cuts through the front at high speed.
Compared to the Sword Seeker’s practice, which seemed like a single attack, it was very clumsy.
But
shoot aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-
the wind rose even in that clumsy year
At the same time
, [Stormbringer Sword Skill was created.]
And Stormbringer Sword Skill was registered as a skill.
Gluttony had learned the Stormbringer sword technique in an instant.
Although he did not know the circumstances, Sword Seeker’s eyes shone.
‘This guy is a genius.’
What if the target you teach is a good learner?
What if that’s a genius?
The Sword Seeker started to get excited about teaching.
– Well done. Unfolding the quicksword with your wrist is enough. Once that is mastered, the forearms are next. I’ll teach you how to unleash your quicksword using only the lower part of your elbow.
Until then, Sword Seeker did not know.
Not that his plan to teach only the first level would change.

Meanwhile at that time.
The Kanus Guild headquarters in Gangnam.
Park Won-tae was receiving a report.
“Is this true?”
“yes. This is the information you just received from the hospital. Jeong Sang-woo seems to have been cured of his younger sister’s illness through Bless. I also confirmed that I went through the discharge procedure now.”
“Um…”
he thought.
‘I signed a contract with Jeong Sang-woo to give me an elixir. I haven’t hunted for A rank yet. But will he need an elixir after he achieves his goal of curing his sister?’
Having already investigated Jung Sang-woo’s personal history, Park Won-tae was well aware of how ordinary he was.
And how lazy.
‘What if he gives up the elixir and doesn’t hunt A-ranks? Or what if I get an A-class, get an elixir, and end my life as a hunter?’
Whether it was the former or the latter, there was a high possibility that Jung Sang-woo would not work hard in his hunter life in the future.
In other words, the possibility of passing through the Tower of Odin was reduced by that much.
‘Then I won’t be able to save Yuna.’
If things went that way, it would be the worst.
‘I don’t think I’ll refuse the request because I don’t have an evil disposition.’
But I didn’t know that it was a human thing.
So, Park Won-tae, who became anxious, felt the need to meet Jeong Sang-woo in a hurry.
“Secretary Kim, I have to go to Jeong Sang-woo’s house right now. Prepare some tea.”
I had to confirm his plan in front of Jeong Sang-woo.
