『Back Step』
『Back Step』
Sang-Hyeon twisted his body and performed two backsteps in succession, responding by moving 10 meters backwards.
Since the backstep itself is a form of retreat with a momentary acceleration, the pressure applied to the body was enormous.
A situation where, if the spine and cervical spine were not flexibly bent, great pressure could have been placed on the bones and muscles.
『Back Step』
Sang-Hyeon took another back step on the cliff that still had a clear view of the ground below.
Then, for the first time, the edge of the piece of land floating in the air became visible.
Turup!
I turned around and grabbed the edge. It was as if I was hanging from the edge of a cliff.
It would have been difficult for an ordinary person to even hold on with one hand.
However, for Sang-Hyeon, who had sufficient strength, it was support without any problem.
“Hmph!”
Sang-Hyeon used one of his arms, which he was holding, as support and flew up.
Then, the body floated up and landed stably on the ground.
Shhhhh!
Of course, even in the midst of all this, the arrows fired by the Angel Archers were flying in a friendly parabolic arc.
『Brave Charge』
Sang-Hyeon wisely escaped the situation with a brave charge.
Then, an arrow that flew in with a narrow miss hit the spot where Sang-Hyeon had just been.
Paaang!
This time, a strong wind arrow flew at me, but I was able to dodge it by repeatedly casting Backstep.
It was Sang-Hyeon’s firm determination not to be fooled by the same repertoire twice.
A satisfied smile formed on my face as I looked at the back step and the courageous charge that had steadily increased in level.
at that time.
Angel Archer disappeared in a flash of light, and a new being appeared in its place.
Archer Master.
An opponent with a formidable name. Although there was only one of them, he gave off the impression of being strong enough to be felt from afar.
Another characteristic was that he had the appearance of a typical elf male archer that you would see in a fantasy movie.
Kirik! Ping!
Thud!
“… … ?”
Sang-Hyeon’s eyes widened.
Clearly, what I just saw was the Archer Master pulling the bowstring. My plan was to watch and respond accordingly.
But in the blink of an eye, things went by as if they had been fast-forwarded, and the arrow had already struck Sang-Hyeon.
◎ Real name
◎ The state where nothing is visible continues for 3 seconds.
‘Is this an abnormal status arrow?’
My real name was revealed right away.
My eyes were open, but I couldn’t see anything. It was like I was trapped in a black hole.
If he were an ordinary player, he would have been flustered and confused by the fact that his real name had been revealed.
Sang-Hyeon judged calmly.
『Defensive Sword』
First, I created a defensive barrier.
What is the first thing you would want to do if you were to bet your real name?
It would be to attack an opponent whose vision has been disabled and exploit their weaknesses. This would be even more true for archers.
Thud!
As Sang-Hyeon had expected, the moment he unfurled his defensive sword, an arrow collided with the barrier.
‘It’s completely to the right. I adjusted the position. If you move to this position and shoot next time, you’ll definitely hit.’
With his skilled judgment, he calculated the position of the Archer Master.
Even if you hit the shield, you can predict the enemy’s path depending on where the hit point is.
Unless the arrow is flying in an absurd curve, your judgment will usually be correct.
“… … .”
『Full charging』
Full charging is ready.
The short dash of the Brave Charge was not enough to ensure evasion by utilizing the shield that still had its shape.
Peeing!
Immediately, the sound of an arrow tickling the ears was heard, and Sang-Hyeon moved his position as fast as the charged propulsion.
Phew! Bang!
At a timing that could almost be considered simultaneous, Sang-Hyeon moved, and an arrow pierced the spot.
The impact was so fast that my entire ear was tingling with the sound of the impact.
‘Recovery must be saved.’
A means to easily resolve all the kinks is certainly convenient.
But if you become too dependent on this, you will have a very hard time when you are caught off guard.
For example, if you use recovery because you feel uncomfortable with your real name, your real name will be used again right away.
In fact, the battles between named characters were conducted by distributing skills that induce abnormal status for that reason.

You walk one by one as if you were checking the liver, and when the opponent can no longer endure it and releases it, you apply a stronger status effect.
That’s why players who learned about Sang-Hyeon feared him or envied him.
Because there are too many variables.
Wheeee!
“Damn.”
But the moment he felt his body start to float, Sang-Hyeon immediately used the recovery he had been saving.
Airborne.
In a situation where you can’t even tell where you are from or what to do due to your blindness, if your body floats away helplessly, the only thing left is death.
‘also.’
As his vision returned, he saw the Archer Master who was trying to take his life from behind.
It felt even more unpleasant that she only had a soft smile on her face with a calm expression.
It felt like watching a skilled hunter leisurely hunting a beast. It felt strange.
Clap clap clap.
He even put the bow he was holding on his shoulder for a moment and clapped his hands in front of him.
The Archer Master held up five fingers toward Sang-Hyeon.
Even though he didn’t say anything, Sang-Hyeon could tell.
It seemed to hint that there would be five more attacks from now on.
‘Shin Tae-ri was like that too. She really likes five times. How about three times?’
Sang-Hyeon took a defensive stance.
I really want to blow an updraft at the Archer Master floating in the air.
Then the stage ends.
I couldn’t give up the privilege of having my affinity level increase steadily every time I used a skill.
Peeing!
The first arrow flew.
An arrow filled with the energy of mana!
『Defensive Sword』
Sang-Hyeon successfully defended himself according to the rules. Since the attack came through an obvious route, the obvious method worked.
Of course, I never thought that this level would continue.
Kirik!
Prepare the second arrow.
“ah.”
Sang-Hyeon let out a short sigh as he saw the change in the Archer Master’s bow.
Perhaps because it was the second attack, the number of mana arrows attached to the bow was also two.
It didn’t seem likely that those two arrows would strike straight down at an angle.
Peeing!
The arrow left the Archer Master’s hand.
At that moment, Sang-Hyeon was able to confirm the path of flight, each drawing the upper and lower parts of an ellipse.
The deflection angle was too large to block both with a defensive sword, so it seemed like another trick was needed.
“… … .”
I held my breath as much as I could.
And for a very brief moment, he calmly and coolly calculated the route, much to his own surprise.
The conclusion came sooner than expected.
『Back Step』
『Defensive Sword』
It is to secure an area where you can block the two arrows that break while falling backwards using a back step as a single defensive barrier.
Teeing! Teeing!
The gamble was successful.
Of course, it wasn’t very clean, and two arrows hit the tip of the Defensive Sword’s shield.
But anyway, happy ending.
Sang-Hyeon thought that it was the difference in time that made him hesitate for a very brief moment, even though he thought he had made a calm judgment.
If the judgment had been delayed a little longer here, one of the two arrows would have struck somewhere in the body.
Kirik!
Prepare the third arrow.
“Let’s go!”
Even before the third attack began, Sang-Hyeon began to run forward at full speed.
This time it will be three arrows.
Rather, it is an attempt by the defender to limit the angles before a rough attack path is created.
There was no problem with the purpose of the stage since they were just rushing forward and not trying to attack.
Kirik… … .
Every movement of the archer master pulling the bowstring caught my eye like a slow-motion video.
As I adjusted my eyes and senses to the fast opponent, I felt like I was able to follow the flow a little bit.
Peeing!
The three arrows then set off.
『Brave Charge』
『Defensive Sword』
This time I changed the combination.
Use a brave charge to minimize the distance between yourself and the Archer Master.
The defensive shield of the defensive sword is deployed while creating a limited striking angle.
Teeing! Teeing! Kaching!
“Whew.”
I managed to block it just in time.
The third attack was successfully repelled thanks to an active response, but one risk factor was also discovered.
It was the defensive shield of the Defensive Sword that shattered as soon as it stopped three arrows.
It is not an invincible shield, so it is clear that it has some level of durability.
【The unidentified god is impressed by your response, which perfectly understands his own abilities.】
‘If you don’t want to die here, don’t you have to do it even if you don’t want to understand it?’
Sang-Hyeon pouted his lips.
There are still two more left.
Now it’s four arrows.
If you block it the third time in the same way, the barrier will break and the remaining one will pierce somewhere in your body.
‘The location is also close.’
Moreover, being so close to the Archer Master is paradoxically a burden at the moment.
Kirik! Ping!
Before he could think any further, another arrow left the Archer Master’s hand. There were four without a hitch.
『Defensive Sword』
The order was changed.
Two arrows flying in quickly from the closest location were blocked by the Defensive Sword.
This time, the Archer Master increased the amount of mana, and the barrier was broken in just two hits.
『Back Step』
And using the intermission car, he backstepped and narrowly avoided the third arrow.
But in the process, he had no choice but to allow one arrow that accurately chased Sang-Hyeon to hit him.
『Sacrifice』
So I took advantage of the corner I believed in.
He took the arrow by sticking his stomach out as if to show off. Thanks to that, his stamina was completely restored.
But the situation changed even faster. At that point, the Archer Master had already launched the next attack.
It was a five arrow attack.
‘This is… … .’
No other calculations were made.
“acceleration”
『Back Step』
Sang-Hyeon continued to cast backsteps while accelerating, and was pushed backwards.
This arrow followed the path of the upper body precisely, as if it had a homing function.
‘My body can’t keep up with my skills.’
Sang-Hyeon let out a hollow laugh.
Because every time I used the back step in succession, I felt a pressure all over my body as if my bones were going to break.
It was a moment when I truly realized that I couldn’t use skills infinitely like in a game.
Of course, despite that, it was still bearable.
Gooooo!
The flying arrows felt threatening. It was impossible to block them and difficult to dodge them in a different direction.
Pfft!
Sang-Hyeon flew his body.
As intended from the beginning, it was an evasion that involved flying off the stage, into the air.
Turup!
Sang-Hyeon, who was barely holding onto the edge of the ground, stuck his body as close to the side of the ground as possible.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Then, the arrows that were chasing Sang-Hyeon narrowly missed his head.
Because the upper body was completely pressed against the side, the direction of the arrow did not change dramatically.
Sang-Hyeon, who confirmed that the arrow had passed, pulled himself up and appeared on the stage again.
At that moment.
[You are granted the S-class title, [Patience Defense].]
“S-class title?”
I was delighted with the unexpectedly large reward.
Clap clap. Clap clap.
At the same time, the sight of Archer Master clapping his hands in the air with a satisfied expression on his face was a bonus.
