Episode 210. Ego Sword
bang!
A series of loud noises occurring in just a few seconds.
Brooklyn swings his axe repeatedly as if chopping down a thick tree, relentlessly pushing his opponents.
Of course, the Korean hunter was beaten up like Park on sports day without even having time to fight back.
Where else can you find a battle with less tension than this?
‘Eww!’
Honestly, if it weren’t for the blood of the sacred tree, my neck would have been severed long ago.
Anyway, what good is changing lungs?
The total amount is still F-class, so now I just have to breathe well and get beaten up.
This may seem like an item chosen by the Archmage to withstand the terrifying onslaught of S-class enemies.
In fact, if you look inside, it wasn’t a situation that could be interpreted so positively. Let me say it again, [Sacred Tree Sapling] also has its limits.
To use an analogy, it’s roughly the same as the durability limit of an S-class defense hunter.
If an S-class defense system is hit so badly that it dies, [Protection] will eventually lose its effectiveness.
‘Damn it, there’s no answer like this!’
Pot!
Even if you open the [surprise box!] in your pocket.
Even if you take out [Hydra] unexpectedly at the slightest opportunity, it will ultimately be useless in front of a true S-class hunter.
“Huh!”
Kang!
As Kiria takes out a sword from the item box, the black beast snorts and strikes the F-rank’s wrist.
He then let go of the Hydra he had been trying to defeat.
There’s a saying that goes, “If you draw your sword, you can cut anything.” How could I end up like this without even swinging it once?
‘No! My Hydra!’
Ting-.
As the man’s longsword slashed into the distance, leaving behind a green trail.
Brooklyn grinned like a beast.
“haha.”
This reckless strongman has now figured out his prey’s weaknesses.
“It really is so slow!”
Brooklyn’s voice gave me a moment of certainty.
It was immediately after this that her second awakening attribute was activated.
An absolute attack that ignores all defensive functions as if it were literally cutting through dimensions.
Casting [Designated Incision].
If you get hit directly by this, you won’t be safe even if you have a barrier made of sacred trees.
‘this!’
But this time, even Kiria had a means of resistance.
He performed some sort of treatment on the opponent’s body just before Brooklyn’s magic was completed.
-Crisp!
Then, the incision technique that the Earthling was trying to use suddenly lost its power and crumbled into pieces.
“her?”
If even this didn’t work, I was going to stick my nose in the dishwasher. Fortunately, it worked out as expected.
Brooklyn Morgan had the same problem as Jung Ha-sung due to her innate lack of awakening.
The enormous power that appeared overnight, like the ocean, naturally made it difficult to control delicately.
A sorcerer who is not skilled in controlling magic will often experience great confusion even with just a slight shake-up of the mana within their body.
To conclude,
When Brooklyn casts a skill, even a small amount of mana is lost, causing his senses to momentarily become distorted and the magic being activated to be turned off.
Yes. What Kiria just used was the first [Mana Burn] she completed after her reincarnation.
‘Okay!’
[Mana Burn], completed by the alien archmage, had a shocking damage amount of 0.35% compared to Demilich’s soul strike…
This ridiculous maneuver alone was enough to disrupt Brooklyn.
Because humans are weaker than we think when it comes to trivial things.
They subject their heart muscles to very small currents and die from just a few grams of potassium.
This method will probably be able to block the opponent’s recovery techniques to some extent.
Brooklyn opened his eyes wide in surprise at the sight of his magic being destroyed, but the good flow was short-lived.
“Cancel skill… …?”
The woman with a sophisticated appearance that contrasted with her nickname, Beast, tilted her head and quickly changed her tactics.
‘I don’t know what trick he used, but that guy’s body is too strong. I can’t tear him apart with skills like I did with Nuckelabi.’
Once upon a time.
Just like the thoughts that came to mind when a certain F-class hunter saw the inevitable evil.
‘Then the answer is water.’
This reminds us that Kim Ki-ryeo is a breathing being.
‘Yeah, you’re right, Brooklyn. People don’t always have to take a half-body bath.’
thud!
thud!
The American Hunter quickly closes the stone doors in this room, monologue in his head.

Skill stones collected while conquering various dungeons.
And among them, the lower-level technique [Waterball] that I have been using quite a bit because I happened to have a talent for it.
Brooklyn was planning on repeating this auxiliary skill ‘thousands of times’ to completely fill the dungeon room with water.
There are a lot of gaps here and there where liquid can leak out, but that doesn’t matter. If there is any wasted amount, just pour more water in and use more energy.
Perhaps because he had been living a wild life for a long time, he could stay underwater longer than others. So, the chances of him drowning first would be lower.
I don’t know what kind of magic was used.
I wonder if that blond Oriental was prepared for such a sudden acquisition?
You can check it from now on.
‘this……!’
A beast that suddenly stops moving.
Kiryun realizes something as she sees the flow of magical power boiling inside her body.
‘Water attribute magic!’
The fact that the Beast is running towards the water torture.
So, what should an F-class hunter do in this situation?
The effect of [Sacred Tree Sapling] only reduces physical impact.
If the Beast were to fill this room with water and try to restrain me like a water snake with my body, I wouldn’t be able to avoid drowning!
‘Oh my god. Suddenly, someone from an ocean planet is in danger of dying from water.’
If his colleagues had regained consciousness, there might have been some chance of changing the situation, but the fallen number one ranked player still hadn’t made any moves.
‘for a moment.’
But at this moment.
Suddenly, someone’s red one-handed sword comes into view.
In front of you, a monster called Beast is preparing a great technique, and behind you, a legendary-level owner is lying unconscious… … ?
-Quick!
The worry didn’t last long.
He put into action the idea that had crossed his mind. He approached the unconscious number one and snatched the sword from the young man’s hand.
“under!”
Of course, Beast laughed at this.
Even if he were to hold a weapon sharp enough to cut through the skin of an S-class player, what could that slowpoke do?
“Phew… … .”
But contrary to expectations, he did not borrow Jeong Ha-seong’s sword to wield it himself.
What followed was an immediate body modification that was carried out by scraping together F-class magical power.
Air flows through the lungs.
Kim Ki-ryeo modified his body to be able to detect ‘infrasound waves that humans on Earth cannot hear.’
At the same time, he added a transparent magic circle to both palms that could create the waves on its own.
A magic technique prepared just in case, from the day I first touched Jeong Ha-seong’s sword.
Then, from now on, all we have to do is face the truth of Han Moo-gu.
[… You probably won’t understand what I’m saying anyway, so I don’t know what the point of this is… … . Sigh, anyway, I somehow met a bad master and I couldn’t even see that common low-level magic stone… … .]
Mumble, mumble, mumble.
This is a sentence that originally could not be interpreted by Earthlings.
This sound, which is called the ‘overlapping system’ and which is impossible to imitate with the human oral structure, was not a language of Earth.
Kiryeo, who had been quietly listening to it, firmly held the red sword and activated the effect of the simple magic circle created in the palm of his hand.
[Sob sob. My fate~ It’s so sad that I have to grow old alone, without even a companion to talk to… ]
[hey.]
[I think it’s sad… ]
[hey!]
[Europshow.]
Yes, that’s right.
[Huh! What the heck, is this animal talking to me right now? Excuse me, can you hear me… …?]
[Yeah. I can hear it. I can hear it!]
In fact, an unimaginable truth was hidden in this red sword.
[Ooooooh!]
The identity of the Sunset Sword that Jeong Ha-seong carried around was none other than the Ego Sword, which commonly appears only in legends.
A sword with an ego!
【Note: Language used – Alphabetical】
However, it had a slightly fatal flaw that made it unsuitable for use on Earth.
***
What is [Legendary]?
This is a new item classification stage that has been appearing for some time now, and it was a difficult body that all the flying and crawling appraisers of the Earth declared unanalyzable.
So, for legendary-level items, the owner had no choice but to learn how to use them through actual experience.
One day.
The true value of the treasure was first revealed in Connecticut, in the northeastern United States.
An unidentifiable black book with a complex branch pattern entangled on the cover, like a corrupted world tree.
It was another legendary treasure held by the United States government.
The real owner of this was someone who had been repeatedly clearing dungeons to find out the abilities of the magic tool, and by chance, the function was activated.
Just like the discovery of penicillin, the American accidentally uttered the opening words the book called for while talking to a friend.
And the results of this are truly shocking.
All he had to do was say a few words, and an exit suddenly appeared in front of the attackers who were eating their sandwiches.
-Woooooow.
A type II dungeon that must be cleared by defeating all monsters in the nest.
And then suddenly an exit appeared.
The American hunter, who had gathered all the information, was astonished.
“Oh my god!”
In fact, this was a situation where all monsters within a 1km radius were killed by the light emitted by the book.
Thus, America’s legendary item was given the grand title of [Book of Destruction].
Like the Pyromancer Necklace, for example.
This thing takes a lot of effort to figure out the spell correctly, as once it runs out of power it takes a while to recharge its energy.
Monsters that can be destroyed have class restrictions, cooldowns, and other things.
No matter what penalties were applied, the value of that rare artifact was worthy of being revered as a legend.
So people have been secretly guessing that Hasung’s sword also has some great ability.
But they probably didn’t know that the hidden secret would be of this kind.
[Master, the weather is expected to be cold and rainy today. But even if I tell you this, you will still go out without any preparation, so I don’t understand why you always do this. Right?]
The Sunset Sword was a magical tool that could actually communicate with its owner!
In a way, this was a case of the indifference of the aliens who created the gate.
They used to throw out treasures that they thought were good to lure the Earthlings.
Because they were not carefully considered, there were many cases where magical tools appeared in a form that could not be used by Earthlings.
‘Come to think of it, the period when Alphauri created this kind of experimental work was exactly the year when I slaughtered those guys.’
However, only recently has someone emerged who can use the functions of this ego sword.
The mana held is F-class.
Moreover, this characterless man, whose strength was at best only enough to open a locked sauce can, was actually talented enough to wield the legendary sword…
***
[Yahoooooo! Oh my! Finally someone listening to my voice! Finally! I’m so happy!]
Trembling.
Even the black body of the sunset vibrates and expresses happiness to the fullest.
But in contrast to this, I had a hardened face and was sweating profusely.
Well, there was a reason why I never stole Ha-seong’s sword until now.
‘Alphauri’s failure… …!’
When the lungs are not healed, the body modification magic used to communicate with it cannot be cast.
Immediately after obtaining the dragon’s organs, I handled an artifact that could not be used by Earthlings, so I was afraid that I would be subject to unnecessary suspicion.
And these days, people are reluctant to use this experimental work for fear of the side effects it may cause.
But even so, I did not let go of the legendary sword.
Whether it’s sturdy or rotten, the beast is growling right in front of your nose, so shouldn’t you at least grab the rope?
‘f*ck!’
Brooklyn was still mustering up her magic to fill the room with water at this moment.
That Awakened person has the ability to reattach a severed arm in one breath, so he often unconsciously appears like that for a few seconds.
There is no sense of crisis.
The opponent probably doesn’t even realize that there is a chance of him dying instantly.
So this will be the first and last chance for the weak.
‘If I don’t kill him in one go, I’ll die!’
Ugh.
I held the Sunset Sword tightly and hurriedly entered the spell.
[Hey! Okay, you do that. That!]
[Did I mishear you?]
[There’s something you’re best at. Do it right now!]
[aha.]
Now that it’s come to this, it’s a do or die situation.
[Understood! Then, the magic registered in the first order of Memorize… … .]
【Warning: You do not have enough startup mana to execute the function. If you ignore this and execute the function, the user will】
[Ignore and enforce.]
【Warning: Are you sure you want to do this-】
[Okay. It’s okay, hurry up!]
No matter how experimental a magical tool is, it wouldn’t kill its owner, right? Right?
