109. Real talent (4)
Kagaga River…!
After blocking the Replica’s twin swords with the Blood Demon Sword, I narrowed my eyes and pondered.
As for why this imitation is trying to hone by relying on dual swordsmanship.
I couldn’t understand why he insisted on using two swords when he could exert enough strength with a one-handed sword.
Of course, it is known that he is excellent at switching battles and gaining an advantage in attack, but…
‘I don’t think it’s a level where you have to learn the dual swordsmanship by overdoing it like this?’
After overpowering him with sword flames in the sword fight with Replica, I mixed swords dozens of times more.
In the process, I also summoned the Iron Blooded Sword and held it in my left hand while using the twin swords together.
However, even if he tried to find out the replica’s intentions using the twin swords, it didn’t mean much.
It was because the direction of the sword that Replica pursued was at a level that could be said to be a one-sided attack.
Except for the fatal wounds that could have killed her at once, Replica swung her two swords madly, unwilling to get hurt.
as if that was the correct answer.
But neither me nor this replica, Gray Blood is not a limitless skill that can be activated forever.
It is only a little more free from various injuries and restrictions based on physical strength, and it clearly has a limit.
He wouldn’t even know that.
‘Nevertheless, it must be because there is another purpose that comes out so strongly.’
and.
I could somehow notice that it was a different purpose.
Should I say it’s a normal hit mixed between some kind of skill combo?
Presumably, this replica is buying time to use the technique of swinging the ‘counterattack shield’ like a beam like before.
‘It must be waiting for the cooldown to use the counterattack shield again.’
Certainly, the counterattack shield combined with Namgoonghyuk’s Changcheonyungeom has a shock reflex that is close to the Changcheonyungeom that Namgunghyuk used at the time.
Replica also instinctively noticed that it was a skill that was like a natural enemy to me.
Maybe the shape of the sword dye was forcibly similar to that of Namgoong Hyuk in order to use Chang Chun Yoon-geom as similarly as Namgung-hyeok.
But the replica’s strategy doesn’t work for me anymore.
Because…
[The Authority ‘Sword of Iron Blood’ is deactivated.]
If the replica could do it, now I can do it too.
[The skill ‘Counterattack Shield’ is activated.]
The moment the iron-blooded sword in my left hand disappeared and the red counterattack shield was held in the form of a sword.
“…”
The corners of the replica’s mouth stiffened as it ran wild with two swords, and at the same time, I could see the guy’s eyes quivering.
Should I say that this is the result of matching Replica’s time-buying strategy so far?
Thanks to that, I was able to raise my dual swordsmanship skills to the same level as Replica.
“I think I was mistaken…”
Contrary to his hardened face, I smiled and smiled like a crescent moon.
“If you can do it, I can do it too.”
I was just behaving with him, wondering if there was something hidden in the replica.
Whoops!
I didn’t say anything more and swung my twin swords at the frozen replica.
The Kaga River…!
Then, with a clearly urgent movement, I could see the guy who was defending by crossing his twin swords.
Embarrassment flowed from the two emotionless eyes of the replica.
‘Now I’m a bit satisfied.’
It’s time to pay back what you’ve been through.
***
Kaaang-!
After the joys and sorrows of each other were mixed, the replicas were moving faster than before.
As if he had completely exceeded his limits, his movements continued dynamically like a live fish, and he let off the offensive as flexibly as possible.
It was a sword.
The rough direction disappeared as if he would not consider anything other than attack until just now…
Before he knew it, the replica’s twin swords showed off a new technique to reduce damage as much as possible, like a fish going against a waterfall.
Seeing that scene, I couldn’t help but laugh.
He would be like that too…
‘I really don’t know how far he intends to keep following.’
It is because of following Changcheon Yoon-geom and Namgung-hyeok’s Chang-cheon secret sword.
However, unlike before, the sword flowed more smoothly and tried to shed everything.
It was not difficult to understand why he was doing this.
‘I guess it’s to reduce the collision between swords so that the counterattack shield doesn’t accumulate impact.’
Of course, it was incomplete, unlike the case where he extinguished all the flames created by authority in Tokyo.
Is it because he had to move the two swords dynamically while maintaining stillness and smoothing out the offensive?
Before anyone knew it, Replica was concentrating only on swinging the twin swords with her teeth clenched.
If you hold on like this, at least you will be able to create a counterattack shield.
Like me before, as if he might be able to block the shock reflex.
Of course, that was a vain hope.
「The skill ‘Frenzy Swordplay (C+)’ is activated.」
「Increases sword attack speed by 25%.」
「Current skill overlap progress – 10/10」
Kaga gaga go!
Thanks to the relentless swinging of the twin swords, the stacks of frenzied swordplay
were piled up.
It was worth it.
I don’t know if an unfinished imitation product will be able to take it, even if it’s real.
So, it was natural for the counterattack shield to quickly accumulate shock, and the replica gradually increased the pattern as if desperate to know if it knew that fact.
Whoa!
He swung his legs quickly and flexibly, aiming for the pit with his toes.
Wedge liquid!
Like me before, I also ventured into a quick thrust while increasing my movement speed through the skill of the flurry sword (C+).
Chow!
In the end, as a bloody seeker, he resisted me by spewing blood from his body like thorns.
Of course, I responded flexibly to all counterattacks.
「The skill ‘Seeker of Fresh Blood’ is activated.」
Even the counterattack through the ability to control blood at the end was beneficial to me as well.
‘The ability to dominate blood is at the same level as each other… There’s no way it works.’
I immediately concentrated my thoughts and invaded the dominion of the bloody thorns rushing towards me.
The bloody thorns protruding from the replica’s body gave way to dominance as they got closer to me, as if they had recognized the original owner.
Without missing that opportunity, I collected all the thorns of fresh blood that entered the sphere of influence of domination with the counterattack shield held in my left hand.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
「Charged.」
「The skill ‘Counter Shield’ is in a state where the accumulated damage can be reflected.」
Of course, the impact is not reduced at all.
With this situation alone, I could say that I had satisfied some kind of victory condition, but…
‘I should be more prepared just in case.’
It didn’t stop there, and after giving the shock, he caught all the thorns of the blood that were about to scatter through his blood control ability.
Then, part of the fresh blood was used to strengthen the blade, and the rest was drawn up through the body of the sword and absorbed into the body without leaving any residue.
Jijijijijiji…!
Before I knew it, the blade mixed with the sword flame of the flash war and began to emit a mysterious red thunderbolt.
Seeing this, the Replica instinctively sensed defeat and rushed at me like a beast in a straight line.
「The increase in the user’s concentration is tuned by 10 times.」
「Entered into a state of concentration beyond the limit.」
「When the skill is released, a large recoil may come.」
However, that animal-like run was too slow to reach me.
In the cognitive world slowed down by the skill of Concentration on Combat, I slowly crouched down and twisted my sword as if I was cutting my back.
and.
The sword strike, which was drawn without even a handful of errors, soon waved around accompanied by a red thunderbolt.
And that…
「The skill ‘Counterattack Shield’ releases the accumulated damage all at once.」
Even with the light reflecting the accumulated shock to the limit.
「The skill ‘Focus on Combat’ is disabled
.
」
The newly implemented Changchun Yungeom swept the surroundings.
***
「Congratulations, you have broken through the 12th floor of the Tower of Trials.」
「As a breakthrough reward, ‘Ancient Emperor’s Ashen Crown (A-)’ will be sent to your inventory.」
「You have obtained ‘80000 Points’ as a breakthrough reward. 」
「You acquired ‘3500 SP’ as a breakthrough reward.」
「 You acquired the skill ‘Final Resistance (B-)’ as an additional breakthrough reward.」
「Go to the waiting room.」
I focused and looked at the replica lying on the floor of the ruins of the ancient ruins.
Looking at the scene where the whole waist part was blown away, I realized that no matter how much I was, I couldn’t survive if I was cornered in such a state.
‘Did I really kill him…’
I felt relieved that I had killed that maddening monstrous clone.
「The mastery of the skill ‘Counter Shield (B)’ has reached 100%.」 「
The grade of the skill ‘Counter Shield (B)’ has risen by one level.」
「The skill ‘Frenzied Sword (C+)’ Mastery has reached 100%.」
「The level of the skill ‘Frenzy Swordplay (C+)’ will go up by one level.」
Even during the fierce battle, two skills achieved 100% proficiency.
The counterattack shield reached a B+ rank, and the frenzied swordplay vomited up to a B- rank.
At that, I raised the corners of my mouth, feeling thrilled at the fact that I had grown so much in my heart.
But that was short-lived, and soon I realized that my body wasn’t in the right condition.
The eyes are hot and the ears are noisy.
When I touched his eyes and ears, blood was flowing like rain in the rainy season.
Seeing that my head was also dizzy, it could have been an injury that required me to return to the waiting room as quickly as possible…
“The skill ‘Ashen Blood’ is activated.”
Then, as Gray Blood was activated, I could see that my body condition was gradually improving.
Hagiya, gray blood is a crazy ability that restores your arms and blindness as long as your health is full.
In a way, it was only natural that an injury of this level would not result in an irrecoverable judgment.
“Hehehehe…”
I forced my trembling body to hold on to it, and I managed to catch my breath.
Whether it’s the aftermath of the previous blow or the aftermath of the disengagement.
I’m not sure if either or both affected me…
but now I’m completely sure of one thing.
‘This crazy technology is hard to use with me now.’
Changchun Yoon-geom No, should I call it a skill that is ambiguous what to call it now?
From the outside, this technique, which should be called a lightsaber, put a lot of pressure on me.
Reproducing Changchun Yoon-Geom’s technique is a level that can only be achieved with extreme concentration on combat.
Even the sword of the sword, the shock reflection of the shield skill of counterattack, etc. If these things are combined, the recoil from wielding it comes seriously.
‘At least if I want to use it in actual combat, I’ll have to think a bit more before writing it.’
I turned my head while absorbing the immediately flowing blood with my fingertips using the Seeker of Fresh Blood.
I looked at the replica’s corpse scattered on the floor of the ancient ruins, which had been devastated by the two Changcheon Yoongeoms.
No, to be more precise, I saw the black and sticky mark of necromancy creeping up from the replica’s corpse.
‘It’s another command of mine… It’s fun.’
They were enemies with the same specs, not only in terms of abilities, but also in skills and powers.
Replica and I were only able to decide the difference between victory and defeat due to a slight difference.
What will be obtained by absorbing such a guy’s spirit with necromancy…
「 I absorbed the spirit of the challenger ‘Han Seong-yoon’.」
「The skill level has risen by 28%.」
