030. Invasion of the hierarchy (3)
I slowly raised my sword due to the pressure that quickly tightened my body.
It’s not an integrated ordeal, it’s an ordeal that is different for each individual.
Honestly, I wanted to express my anger by saying that it was nonsense, but…
“Why are you silent, savage?”
“…”
It was impossible to do that because it was the one who modified the goal of the 5th floor ordeal in the system.
‘I have to find a way to survive.’
If there is even a 1% chance of survival, I have no intention of giving up.
I burned my fighting spirit and looked at the knight in front of me.
A pure white sword that doesn’t go well with the black armor that covers the whole body is already bad.
‘Swords that have a longer reach than daggers, as well as the armor that covers the body.’
All elements show off their solidity as if predicting my defeat.
In the end, you have no choice but to compete with your personal skills.
‘Even that would be difficult.’
The traces of the battle he saw while passing through the wolf’s den were enough to guess his skill.
Hard to kill this article, at least on my level.
If so, it was necessary to create a variable.
I carefully asked the enemy a question, hiding as much gap as possible.
“I’ve never heard of an intrusion. Where the hell did it come from?”
“As a savage, you don’t even know the concept of ‘class intrusion’. Kut.”
He laughed at me out of the blue and laughed until his armor shook.
‘What is this crazy guy…’
I almost hesitated at the lines that seemed to be a collection of dark histories from my school days, but soon regained my composure.
Yes, at least the enemy considers me uncivilized.
‘Then I should use it.’
“Could you tell me what layer intrusion is?”
“Because he is a savage, his head seems to be empty.”
“….”
“If I ask you in reverse, do you think you will answer something like that?”
Apart from his behavior as if he had reached puberty, he seemed to have thoughts.
As expected, it doesn’t seem to bother me with such an obvious question…
“But I guess it doesn’t matter. He will die soon.”
No, it should hang.
‘…acts as if he won’t let me know, but he speaks easily.’
It could also be said to be proof that they are looking down on me.
“Among the systems that expand from the 8th floor, there is something called ‘layer intrusion’. If you buy an intrusion ticket at the store, you can interfere in other people’s trials.”
The article that said so continued to add.
“Of course, it seems that these idiots from this lower dimension haven’t even reached the 8th floor.”
“…Can you say that those words came from another world?”
“Then where do you think I am from?”
“…All right.”
After answering that, I muttered in a low voice.
As much as possible, conscious of what the black knight said.
“The Eye of Truth.”
「The skill ‘Eye of Truth’ is activated.」
「All the words of that person are the truth.」
Even the skill shows that the enemy told the truth.
As the real ordeal tower system said, it came from ‘another dimension’.
‘Damn that’s complicated.’
It’s not unbelievable as long as there are ‘Dungeon’ and ‘Tower of Trials’ from the beginning…
‘The scale is bigger than I thought, this is…’
It was then.
“You are doing something a little nasty. How dare you judge the words and actions of this body.”
The black knight was muttering something like that, as if he was annoyed with just activating the ‘Eye of Truth’.
At that, I smiled and replied briefly.
“whatever.”
I pulled out all the information I could pull out and confirmed that he wasn’t friendly to me.
At least it’s not like I’m going to give you more information right away.
In other words, there is no reason to be more intimidating.
“What what? How dare you speak of a savage…!”
The black knight shuddered in rage, but it rather created a gap.
While he was talking, he threw his body and quickly stabbed his sword.
Woooo Kang!
“Did you think that would work?”
But soon, the black knight returned the sword with his eyes glowing ominously through the helmet.
‘…I think it was a gap, but it’s surprising.’
His ability to quickly control his emotions and strike a sword must be acknowledged.
It is not an opponent that can be easily defeated with tricks.
Kang!
Then he swung his sword once more and then stepped back.
There is something I found out in the short clash.
‘Even the knight’s abilities aren’t higher than mine.’
Even though both of them wielded the sword with one hand, I had the upper hand in strength.
It was certain that the body of the black knight had been pushed away, albeit briefly.
But you can’t be careless.
Even after killing the monster, the goal of the 5th floor ordeal, he doesn’t show any signs of getting tired.
It was clear that he was a skilled strongman.
‘It could be dangerous in terms of skill rather than ability.’
Then I have to make the most of my skills and achieve a good match.
Remind yourself of the skills you can use right away and straighten your posture.
Among the skills currently possessed, the most useful is ‘Instantaneous Acceleration’.
‘Battle continuation is activated when pushed to the limit, and physical resistance and high-speed regeneration are passive.’
Besides that, there are miscellaneous skills, but they are also passive skills.
Then, it is safe to say that ‘instantaneous acceleration’ is the only thing I can apply.
‘I have high agility, so I have to compete with it.’
If you don’t do that, you will fall victim to the enemy’s hidden move.
At that time, the knight in front of me rattled his black-painted armor and then clicked his tongue.
“Tsk, maybe it’s because it’s only on the 5th floor, so the ability limit is severe.”
I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but I want to know what these actions mean.
As for the muttering unnecessarily, as well as the retaliatory words and actions during the battle.
It’s all incomprehensible and inefficient behavior.
‘Is this self-promotion?’
Unexpectedly, the black knight is now showing off against me.
I don’t know what to say, how shallow it was.
Of course, it could be that he was deceiving himself by saying ‘limited abilities’…
but looking at his actions so far, it seemed unlikely.
“From now on, I won’t look at you, a savage.”
The black knight who said that suddenly took a posture while gripping his sword tightly.
I was nervous because it could be the activation of a moderate movement skill.
thud.
And sure enough, the black knight stretches out his foot and at the same time, the sword is also stabbed.
An attack that is launched from a distance that can never be reached.
I’ve experienced what that means once in an ordeal on the 3rd floor.
Whoops!
The tip of the sword instantly stretched out with a heavy sound.
At that moment, I twisted my body and the sword barely grazed my side.
Chow.
“Big.”
A moan escaped from the burning pain.
「Skill ‘High Speed Regeneration’ is activated.」
Maybe because the skill level went up, the traces of cuts disappeared immediately, but the pain remains sharp.
‘It wasn’t just that I was confident.’
I narrowed my eyes as I saw the length of the sword suddenly shorten.
I can definitely see why it’s so highly rated in the system.
If that’s part of your skills, it’ll be very tricky to deal with.
“Avoid well, savage. If you don’t move properly, you’ll be crushed.”
The black knight returned to his stance with a voice full of laughter as if he was enjoying the situation.
“…”
Like stepping on an ant in the playground and killing it slowly.
The black knight was treating me with just that much emotion.
‘Crazy bastard.’
I would never have thought it would be such a stupid thing to do just because of someone else’s ordeal.
Anger flared up momentarily, but in the current situation, anger is useless.
You have to calmly think of a way to overcome this situation…
Whoa!
However, before he can continue his thoughts, three swords rush in again.
This time it didn’t even touch me and I moved my feet to avoid it, but the black knight was triumphant.
“Ho, you’re agile. It’s fun for a 5th floor challenger.”
But I couldn’t make any reply to that.
The situation is urgent even to take a breath and fight.
In the end, you have to bring out more ability to some extent.
‘Instantaneous acceleration will be saved as a last resort, but this can be used.’
It’s not that the Hunter Market didn’t sell assassin’s cloaks for no reason.
「The Assassin’s Cloak (D) exclusive effect is activated.」
「Movement speed +15%」
「Remaining duration – 00:00:59」
It is just reserved for the moment like now.
Wow.
At the same time as he stretched out his foot, the gap between him and the black knight immediately closed.
Of course, as if he had expected it, the black knight acted leisurely.
“Closing the gap… did you think you could win?”
In an instant, the three swords in the black knight’s hand swung and rushed.
Whoops!
Obviously, I had the upper hand in strength and agility, but my attack speed was unusually fast.
It was to the extent that I was in a hurry to follow it with my eyes, as if I had written a skill with that kind of buff.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t react at all.
Kaaang!
As soon as I raised my left arm and blocked it with the attached shield, a reddish aura overlaid the three swords.
At least the energy rising from the blade was by no means an ordinary skill.
‘What is this…!’
Whoa…!
And at the same time, the attached shield cracked open and excruciating pain pushed through his arm.
As soon as the skin on his wrist was half cut, he immediately pulled out his arm and moved his body backwards.
bang.
The black knight grinned as he hurriedly backed away, even kicking.
“Oops. It would have been less cumbersome if my arm had been cut off.”
Ignoring those words, I held my left arm with my right arm as much as I could and caught my breath.
I wanted to scream right away because of the excruciating pain, but soon the pain subsided.
「The skill ‘Pain Resistance’ is activated.」
「All types of pain inflicted on the user are reduced by 15%.」
「The skill ‘Continue Battle’ is activated.」
「All types of pain inflicted on the user are reduced by 15%. Movement restrictions are weakened.”
Thanks to the two skills that were activated, his composure returned in an instant.
Yes, the more calm you are, the more calm you should be.
When the cross section of the arm is attached, the arm starts to attach little by little with the high-speed regeneration skill.
Did the range of judgment for ‘fatal wound’ widen as the level of the skill went up?
I don’t know, but just being able to recover from my wounds brings me a sense of calm.
“Haha, you have some pretty interesting skills.”
While the black knight laughed, the rotation of thoughts tightened.
I don’t know what skill I used, but I know how dangerous the reddish aura is.
‘…It must be a skill related to the increase in cutting power.’
It must be a skill that strengthens the cutting power of the sword by using magical power.
Skills that grant such effects other than weapon skills are quite rare, but…
I’ve heard that such a type of skill exists.
Of course, it was the first time that such a reddish energy was overflowing.
‘Anyway, it’s a skill I can’t handle with my current level.’
This is the result of blocking it once.
The shield I bought with expensive points was broken and my arm was almost cut off.
‘…I guess he didn’t die because he wore an assassin’s cape.’
If it had been a little slower, my head would have blown off at once.
As I try to read the opponent’s number more, I die now.
‘Is the answer decided in the end?’
Moving his left arm, which had now regained some sense, he glared at the black knight.
Certainly the skills you have are threatening.
To the extent that I could clearly see why I instinctively felt an emergency.
But that’s just a technical factor.
‘In terms of ability, I’m probably a little stronger.’
Then this is the only way to kill this mad knight.
After making the decision in an instant, I quickly moved my hand to activate Necromancy.
「Permanently increase stats by using all the possessed spirits.」
「Muscle power increased by 2」
「Agility increased by 3」 「
Stamina increased by 3」 「Magic power increased by 5」
「Durability increased by 3」
7 has risen.”
Vitality surges through the body, and at the same time, lost stamina rises.
The black knight also smiled as if he had recognized the change.
“Bodily strengthening is fun.”
Gu didn’t answer the words of the black knight, as if he couldn’t win.
Instead, he checked the duration of the effect on the ‘Assassin’s Cloak’ and straightened his stance.
His left arm has also been restored to some extent, and his overall stats have risen.
‘Well, I’ve prepared everything I can with this…’
There was only one thing left.
“Instantaneous acceleration.”
A sense of weight diminishing as mana drains from the body takes over the whole body.
A sense of uplift that is completely different from the thin reinforcements I used before.
Only then did the black knight flinch as if he felt something strange.
“A savage has so many skills…”
Seeing the black knight muttering like that, I quickly stepped out.
And at that moment, as if a spring that had been pressed hard was bouncing, my body accelerated explosively.
Is it because it can be said that it is on a different level from the movements I just showed you?
“…a bloody savage!”
The black knight was startled as well, and wrapped his sword in red aura as before.
At the same time, I became a little more agile no matter what skill I used, but with just that, I couldn’t keep up with me.
The assassin’s cloak and the instant acceleration skill were also used for the increased stats, so it had to be that way.
I reached out, dodging the sword the black knight wielded by a single piece of paper.
Aww!
In an instant, the feet collided with the armor, and a roar rang through the cave.
“…”
Looking at the black knight who barely bent his knees and didn’t collapse, he raised his mouth.
Unlike before, the composure disappeared, and the number of words decreased rapidly.
‘That must mean that the other side also felt threatened to some extent.’
If you use more agile movements based on higher stats than your opponent…
you won’t be hit by the skill called Aura that the Black Knight used.
If that’s the case…
‘I’m sure I’ll be able to win.’
It felt like I finally found the answer to this crazy ordeal.
