# 96
96. Niflheim (8)
Lidigion.
When summoned for the first time, there was no last name in the name field of the status window.
Birth class is 2 stars. But among the tens of thousands of heroes I’ve chosen, I haven’t seen a genius as good as this one. Ridigion was an early member of Niflheim along with Siris, and was a public servant who played an active part in numerous missions.
“Nice to meet you.”
The young man knelt down halfway to me.
His face was expressionless, but a hot light was burning in his eyes. He wore no upper clothes, and his upper body covered in smooth muscles was full of scars.
“Wake up.”
Lydigion straightened his knees and stood up.
A sword is embedded in the ground next to it. It was an ordinary iron sword with no special features. I think I practiced alone here before I came. The black iron nearby was full of various knife marks.
‘That there is a Ridigion.’
Intention is guessed.
I inspected the sword next to Lidigion. Even though he cut out the black iron, which was several times harder than himself, there was no scar. Ridigion said.
“I heard the story from Yurnet.”
“It’s nice not to have to bother explaining.”
“Why did you make that decision?”
Lydigion’s face crumpled.
However, in the blink of an eye, Ridigion returned to his original expressionless expression.
“Our hearts are unchanging. No matter what state the Master is in…”
“I’m sorry. My heart is like that too.”
Lydigion turned his head.
I laughed and said
“I’m sure you didn’t call me to make an impossible persuasion.”
explained why.
Even if all five of them come, I have no intention of reversing my decision.
Lydigion is well aware of this. I guess it’s just a pity
“That’s right.”
Lydegion murmured.
The flames in the eyes gradually faded and then completely subsided.
‘Is it like this?’
I narrowed my eyes.
Ridigion’s presence has completely changed. A strange feeling as if looking at an inanimate object.
It must be the effect of the Myung Kyung Index, the ultimate evolution of the Calmness skill. One more thing here.
‘Unity of body and sword.’
I can feel the blade even though I haven’t touched it.
It was as if he was facing a well-forged sword.
Ridigion said.
“Just like Master made me strong.”
Lydigion pulled out the sword stuck in the ground.
“I will also strengthen the Master.”
Lydigion lowered his sword.
And it stopped just like that.
“Are you saying you want to be my practice partner?”
“If you wish.”
As far as I know, the most perfect swordsman is in front of me.
While other heroes mastered abilities outside of weapon skills, this guy insisted on swordsmanship. It is different from the four people who basically have dozens of abilities. The only skills Ridigion possessed were swordsmanship and a few things to assist with it.
‘I can’t help but do it.’
My body heats up in no time.
It was a feeling he hadn’t felt in the fight against Zena or Belquist.
I drew my sword and shield.
“Master, please come.”
Lidigion lightly gripped the hilt of the sword.
I took a deep breath and said.
“Is your training still the same?”
“Yurnet gave you permission, so you can look.”
If so, don’t speculate.
‘Status window.’
Ridigion’s stats floated before his eyes.
[Lydigion (★★★★★★) Lv. 99]
[Class: Weapon Master]
[Strength: 10/10]
[Intelligence: 10/10]
[Stamina: 10/10]
[Agility: 10/10]
[Possessed Skill: ‘Lv.Max )’ effect.]
‘As expected.’
The sum of the stats is 40. All stats point to 10.
These were the basic stats that 1-star, 1-level heroes in Normal Summon had.
Of course, it is not the body’s ability. Ridigion deliberately lowered it. It was to train skills without relying on the body.
I took a deep breath.
I don’t think Lydigion looks down on me.
That guy cuts the black iron like a radish with only 10 power, which is only about the level of a normal person. The weapon he is holding is not the 5th divine weapon, Claus Solas. It was a blunt, old iron sword.
“Go with full force.”
“whenever.”
Flip the switch in your head.
The heat that spread throughout his body was hot.
[‘Han (★★★)’ has entered a berserk state!]
‘Status window.’
This time I look at my abilities.
[Han Israt (★★★) Lv. 20(Exp 58/160)]
[Class: Novice]
[Strength: 55/45 + 10]
[Intelligence: 0/10 – 10]
[Stamina: 51/41 + 10]
[Agility: 49/39 + 10]
[Possessed Skills: Lesser Swordsmanship (Lv.8) Mind’s Eye (Lv.5) Fire Resistance (Lv.3) Pain Resistance (Lv.4) Calmness (Lv.5) Berserk (Lv.6) Fortitude (Lv. 1) Dragon Killing (Lv.1) Stealth Movement (Lv.1) Equestrian Art (Lv.1)]
[Current Status: Berserk (Lv.6)]
Current level is 20. Total stats are 135.
Calculate the additional value of Berserk then it becomes 155.
Compared to the current Lidigion, there is a difference of 115 points. The gap widens even more if you add intelligence that has no effect on physics.
It was the gap between an adult and a child, no, a gap between a giant and a baby.
Not just strength. Physical strength and agility cannot be compared. Even if the level of weapon skill is similar, if there is a difference like this, you can shoot and press 10 to 1 with a smile. As soon as the weapon encounters it, it will fall out.
‘If this guy is ordinary.’
bump into
How far I can reach this swordsman now.
“Goes.”
I stamped my feet.
In an instant, my body shot out like an arrow.
There is no need to restrain yourself. I have no intention of hiding it. aim for the neck attack to kill The sword was swung with a force approaching a ton in pure mass alone.
Lidigion’s sword moved.
I don’t care. I added strength to my right hand. Hit it head-on and smash it.
sereung.
The blade of the sword ran down his sword face.
Lidegion doesn’t even move. I casually blocked the sword containing several times the strength.
‘About this.’
It was expected.
fix the sword The swing turned into a thrust. At the same time, hit the side with the shield. There is no way it will work with one blow. If so, the difference in ability overwhelms them.
strength. speed. health.
Everything except technology is superior.
The sword bounced off. The shield slipped.
I swung my sword for the third time. I went down fourth. It is a power that has not been shown against Taoneer personnel. Without any addition or subtraction, I poured everything I had.
that.
Ridigion accepted it casually.
“….”
There is no metallic sound when metal collides with metal.
A soft sound, like silk rubbing against cloth. Lidegion didn’t move a single step from his seat, letting the attacks I was pouring out.
I am much stronger and faster.
For every three moves I make, Ridigion makes one move. However, the sword of Ridigion has already reached the place I was about to wield, and it appears without fail at the place I was about to stab.
No matter where the law of action and reaction was sold, Lidigion did not lose a single hair.
Except for the right arm and shoulder, other parts were not used. I blocked all attacks without even dodging them.
The sword drew an arc.
trajectory is visible. I got a shield
sereung. The obliquely cut shield fell to the floor.
‘Discard.’
I knew I couldn’t stop it.
Leaning aside, I prepared to stab with the hilt of my sword turned.
At that moment, the blade of the sword touched my neck.
Laughter came out. Ridigion, who drew his sword, knelt down at me.
“Please forgive me for pointing the sword at you.”
“Don’t do that one by one. It’s annoying.”
Lydigion arose.
I shook my head. I thought I would lose. But I don’t think it will be this much.
‘I didn’t do anything.’
It wasn’t even a fight like a fight.
I felt like I knew how Belquist felt when I first fought.
‘Still, I knew.’
It’s not just Amkena that has to learn to lose.
At Taoneer, I never really lost. Jenna, Aaron, Belquist, and Nerissa. Even high-class heroes Edith and Roderick. No one has ever defeated me so completely.
I have always fought from a position superior to others.
But now it’s different.
‘Overwhelming power.’
As of now, there is a monster that I can’t even touch.
This guy didn’t spend a penny of his strength. The enormous difference in ability was reversed like flipping the palm of your hand. This is…
“This is my power. Isn’t it funny?”
“Ten thousand words.”
Lydigion shook his head.
“If I was at the same level as Master, it would have been difficult to win.”
“The sound of the mouth comes out well.”
If I evaluate objectively, I belong to a special class of less than the top 1%.
Only possessed 10 skills. Also, it has a lot of skills that are good for cost performance. In particular, the synergy skills that lead to composure and madness and indomitability deserved to be highly praised. The level of weapon technology was also excellent.
If I, the Master, recruited myself, the Hero, I would lightly invest more than 5000 gems.
But this guy…
‘was the greatest talent ever.’
Lidigion reached level 7 and low level swordsmanship level 10.
It’s not that I couldn’t upload more than that because I lacked technology. Because 10 low-level weapon skills was the maximum that a beginner class could raise. It was because I couldn’t change my job.
“I suspected you were a bug character at first.”
“It’s an honor if you bought it highly.”
Lydigion continued.
“If talent was everything, the hero who should be closest to the master is…”
“That’s it too.”
Ridigion realized the extremes of all weapon techniques and broke through the limits.
However, in the end, it did not surpass Siris in terms of overall performance.
Well, even so, there is no big difference between the five people.
If there is only one variable, the win or loss can be overturned.
I picked up my shield.
The fragmented shield has been restored to its original state. Healing power seemed to work here too. After straightening his posture, he looked at Lidigion, and he returned with an expressionless expression as if he had never done that before.
“sorry.”
“Nothing. Go next.”
Lydigion straightened the sword.
Again, a unique gicheok appeared. I got my breathing right. One side of the body is shaking. It was a feeling he hadn’t felt even when fighting the runaway black dragon.
‘I’ll try bumping into it until I can understand it.’
The berserk still hasn’t turned off.
I put the power wriggling inside my body into my right arm. Duduk.
Then, with the sword in hand, he struck again.
Kang!
Lydigion blocks my downward slash.
This time, there was a proper friction sound. Of course, it’s not because my skills have increased. It was because this guy changed his sword type. I drove Ridigion into a trance.
“It was a short time, but it’s a great achievement.”
Ridigion said.
His tone was complimentary, but his voice was emotionless.
“If you get over the wall just once, you’ll be able to get started with intermediate weapon skills.”
Lydigion swung his sword sideways.
Blocked the slash with the sword. Duduk. A strange noise came from his right shoulder, and the sword ricocheted out of his hand. The mouth of his right hand was torn open and blood gushed out. I let out a sigh of relief.
“…after.”
The joint in his right arm went out.
After enduring the tingling pain for a while, the sensation returns.
‘Is it a strong sword?’
What I showed you last time was Yu-geom.
There doesn’t seem to be any penalty for physical ability. I picked up the fallen sword. Ridigion changed his stance.
‘But not yet.’
rush again
There is enough stamina left.
I poured everything I had learned in the past 4 months into Lidigion.
“…”
Ridigion blocked the sword attack without changing a single expression.
eyes are not looking at me What this guy is looking at is probably the totality of my weapon skills. It was the effect of the special skill Sword Mind.
A crash ensues.
When your weapon breaks, Ridigion gives you a new sword. bumped into again I repeated this process several times. And when time passed.
“…done.”
I put down my sword
I didn’t know how long I fought. But what was clear was that during that long time, I hadn’t even scratched a single wound against Lidegion, whose total stats were only 40.
I found this out for sure.
That I must become stronger.
