Level 2 Player
Leo’s Growth
“To think the great hero Ak Chanseo lost in a spar with an Earth origin player.”
“How can such a thing...”
“It did not particularly seem like he used sorcery.”
“What sorcery! Even after seeing that person’s swordsmanship, do such words come out? It was high-level swordsmanship where the word perfection naturally comes out.”
“Today, we are receiving large teachings.”
The martial artists affiliated with Changseongmun were in an atmosphere of being surprised at Ak Chanseo’s defeat yet understanding. It is not that Jin-su pressed with overwhelming stats, nor pushed with high-level skills.
He only overwhelmed Ak Chanseo’s spearmanship with purely unfolded dual swordsmanship. So even if wanting to make unreasonable demands, there was no such matter itself. On top of that, it is a situation where Ak Chanseo, the total person in charge of the Changseongmun branch in the start city, bowed his head first saying he received teachings.
In this situation, even if attaching this and that excuses and doing mental victory, only Ak Chanseo becomes a ridiculous appearance.
Then the remaining conclusion is one.
“It was really amazing skill. I greatly opened my eyes.”
“I also want to receive teachings, but with lacking skill, I cannot dare request.”
“I did not know that Earth’s swordsmanship had reached such a high level.”
Precisely praising Jin-su’s skill. Because the more Jin-su is praised, Ak Chanseo’s defeat becomes a natural thing.
‘These guys have the same repertoire.’
Jin-su let out an empty laugh at such an attitude of Changseongmun. The person Jin-su formed a good connection with before regression is not in this place. However, the inclination and the actions themselves were exactly the same as if taken out and put in.
‘The basic spirit seems intact.’
Changseongmun’s inclination is the righteous path. Pride becomes excessive and becomes arrogance, but still, they know how to keep the line.
‘Fortunate.’
If the current Changseongmun was different from the Changseongmun Jin-su remembered...
If it was only the shell that is the righteous path and the inside is the same as the demonic path, and they tried to remove Jin-su to cover Ak Chanseo’s defeat, a blood wind might have blown for a while. However, such a thing did not occur.
“I will keep the spar result secret.”
Jin-su said with a calm expression.
“Ooo!”
“Thank you.”
“Even the heart is wide.”
The players affiliated with Changseongmun who heard Jin-su’s words made a fuss.
‘Anyway, there is no thought of informing, and no person to inform either.’
If the fact of being strong is known, from Jin-su’s perspective, only troublesome matters increase.
‘But from those people’s standard, it will be enormous consideration.’
Musung origin players thought honor was extremely important. That is why if beating a strong player in a spar or combat, they are busy boasting that fact. Then other people make and float nicknames attaching all kinds of flowery words like the Cloud Dragon Sword Hero, the Swift Blade Divine Sword, or the Lightning Sword Guest.
From Jin-su’s standard, it was only cringy titles that seem like a black flame dragon would pop out from the left arm at any moment...
Musung origins liked such flashy nicknames enormously and also wanted to have them.
‘Because Musung origins often think whether there is a nickname or not as a measure of skill.’
The fact that Shin Su-a was called the Holy Saintess before regression could also be seen as influenced by the nicknames of Musung origin players in some way.
“Then we will go now.”
At Jin-su’s words, the players affiliated with Changseongmun made a fuss.
“Already leaving?”
“Stay a bit more.”
“We will treat without lack with all sincerity.”
“Leaving like this is truly regrettable.”
Once the players affiliated with Changseongmun spoke even making regrettable expressions, Jin-su was dumbfounded.
‘Since when were we acquaintances.’
But he did not openly say anything. Because he knew the fact that the players affiliated with Changseongmun are saying with goodwill.
‘Musung origins uniquely overflow with romance.’
From Jin-su’s standard, it is only one spar. But probably in their heads, martial artists clashed swords and spears with each other and even gave teachings, and on top of that, since saying they will keep the result of the lost spar secret, they would be thinking it is the same as receiving a large favor.
The fact that Jin-su showed goodwill to Changseongmun is true, but it was not to the degree of a favor.
‘To begin with, there was no time of giving teachings either.’
From Jin-su’s perspective, it is only that he did one spar incidentally for the skillization work. Yet, whether Ak Chanseo and the players affiliated with Changseongmun had some large misconception, they expressed thanks too excessively to the degree of being bewildering.
“Stop! The benefactor says he will leave, so how can you hold him.”
At that time, Ak Chanseo stepped forward.
‘What did I do for you to be a benefactor.’
From Jin-su’s perspective, it was dumbfounding, but it was also not a matter of openly saying to Ak Chanseo who sends a gaze full of thanks that you are misunderstanding.
‘Well, good is good.’
Although Ak Chanseo’s misconception was large, whatever the reason, since he formed a good connection with Changseongmun that formed a good connection even before regression again, from Jin-su’s perspective, there was nothing bad.
“I will look forward to meeting next time.”
“Yes, see you next time.”
“And this is my small sincerity, so please receive it.”
Ak Chanseo took off the ring he was wearing and held it out to Jin-su.
‘It is a ring containing a mana recovery speed increase skill?’
It was a quite rare item, and the level was also 525, a quite high level on Floor 200.
“It is fine.”
It was really fine. Although a rare item, it is not that there is no listing at the auction house. Also, the price was also not of a level burdensome to Jin-su.
“It is only a small gift offered to the benefactor. Please receive it.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Jin-su ultimately received the ring Ak Chanseo gives. Musung origin players had a strong tendency to think they were insulted if continuing to refuse in this situation.
“Then now.”
Jin-su simply observed etiquette and came out of Changseongmun.
‘It is not bad, but it is ambiguous.’
Jin-su’s mana stat was as much as 1,522.
From the perspective of such a Jin-su, the ring containing a level 525 mana recovery speed increase skill received as a gift felt a bit like chicken ribs.
It is good if there is, but fine if not?
‘Even consuming a level fix stack, the performance is a bit ambiguous.’
It is not that the option is enormously good either.
“You use this.”
Jin-su handed the ring to Shin Su-a.
“Huh? Is it okay for me to receive it? This is a received gift.”
“It is fine. Use it.”
The reason Ak Chanseo gave the ring as a gift was largely the meaning of forming a good connection from now on. So it is not that he sold the ring, and he will not feel bad to the degree of giving it to a party colleague.
‘He might feel regretful, but that is unavoidable.’
Receiving the gift is something.
“Thank you, Jin-su.”
Shin Su-a smiled and received the ring from Jin-su and put it on her finger.
‘Today, let’s rest deeply for a day.’
However, before that, there was something to do.
‘I have to release the summons first.’
So far, because of the eyes of the players affiliated with Changseongmun, he could not release the summons. But since they parted, now the situation changed.
“Are we going hunting right away?”
Once Jin-su headed outside the city, Shin Su-a asked with a surprised expression.
“I will only release the summons and come back in.”
“Is that so.”
At Jin-su’s words, Shin Su-a made a noticeably relieved expression. It seemed she was relieved at the fact that the plan of eating proper food for the first time in a while after only doing homelessness, bathing with warm water, and then lying in a fluffy bed and resting deeply was not disrupted.
‘I am also tired.’
Long-time homelessness was a matter of fatigue accumulating for Jin-su as well. That is why he planned to rest deeply for about a day to begin with.
‘Although there are still things to skillize remaining.’
The spar with Ak Chanseo was a feeling of a type of friendly match, so he only used forms. That is why specialties that utilize typified mana like sword force, protective force, aura blade, or aura defense could not be skillized.
‘Well, today is not the only day.’
Since they are things that will be automatically skillized if only used repeatedly several times against monsters, there was no need to rush.
Jin-su went out of the city and entered the hunting ground. And he moved to a remote place with as few people as possible. To release the summons while avoiding other people’s eyes.
‘Who is it?’
Yet, someone was secretly following behind Jin-su and Shin Su-a.
‘It is not that it is accidentally overlapping.’
When first coming out of the city and just entering the hunting ground, the path might have overlapped accidentally. However, even while already moving to a remote place with no people, continuing to follow means one has no choice but to think there is some other ulterior motive.
‘Is it Changseongmun?’
If so, the mood seemed like it would be quite bad. Because it meant that the players affiliated with Changseongmun including Ak Chanseo did a meticulous act to make Jin-su careless.
‘It will be known if watching.’
It could also be a matter of PK players who periodically do newbie hunting.
-There is a tail. I am thinking of pretending to have just come out hunting, so do not summon the Stone Golem.
-Got it.
Jin-su who explained the situation to Shin Su-a postponed summoning the summons and hunted monsters while showing as newbie-like an appearance as possible. Leo and Kkami were also quiet.
Rustle!
Once finishing the pretense of struggling to hunt a group of monsters, the ones who were tailing revealed their appearances confidently.
“Hey, you two there. Did you become affiliated with Changseongmun?”
The one who seemed the head among those who revealed their appearances asked while looking at Jin-su.
“What does knowing that do? Tell whether there is a business that you tailed me.”
At Jin-su’s answer, the head’s face crumpled fiercely.
“A young guy whose head blood has not even dried, where are you spitting out informal speech? Do you not have a sense of what kind of situation this is right now?”
“It is because your face is shaped too docile.”
“Yeah, how much did they see you as easy for you to be that confident even in this situation.”
“They just saw you as an idiot. Kekekek!”
At the colleagues’ instigation, the head’s face became more and more vicious.
“Originally, I was thinking of persuading with words and then admonishing if refusing, but you are earning a beating. I will tell the business after educating first.”
Whoosh!
At the same time as finishing the words, the player who seemed the head extended a fist toward Jin-su.
Slash!
“Aaaak!”
The Baekcheon Divine Sword cleanly cut the right arm of the player who seemed the head.
“Gwangchu’s arm!”
“He is not an ordinary guy!”
“Attack all together!”
The players’ judgment was quite fast.
Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!
They immediately drew weapons and swung toward Jin-su and Shin Su-a while emitting all kinds of sword force in streams.
Clang!
Jin-su activated a protection skill and protected Shin Su-a. Shin Su-a also cast blessing and protection skills on herself and Jin-su in an instant.
‘It is a good opportunity to skillize mana typification.’
Jin-su swung the Baekcheon Divine Sword and Blood-Sucking Sword and threw his body.
Slash!
At the moment the aura condensed on Jin-su’s Blood-Sucking Sword changed into the form of a formalized blade and quickly compressed.
[The skill Charnod Aura is generated.]
[The skill Charnod Aura Thread is generated.]
[The skill Charnod Aura Blade is generated.]
[The skill Charnod Aura Compression is generated.]
New skills appeared in succession.
Jin-su this time shot sword force in the form of a sphere from the Baekcheon Divine Sword. The sphere of sword force exploded at the moment of colliding with the enemies’ bodies.
Kwaaaaang!
“Aaaak!”
“My arm!”
“Keok!”
[The skill Muhon Sword Force is generated.]
[The skill Muhon Sword Aura is generated.]
[The skill Muhon Sword Force is generated.]
[The skill Muhon Force Ring is generated.]
At the same time, new skills appeared again.
‘Good.’
Perhaps because it is a form of typifying mana, skillization was fast.
“That guy is a monster, a monster!”
“R-run!”
“Uaaaa!”
Whether judging the situation in an instant, the guys who rushed also ran fast.
‘I cannot miss them. Black Hand, Restraint Shackles, Thorn Crown, Body Weakening, Twisted Footsteps.’
Jin-su cast curse skills and restrained the bodies of the fleeing enemies.
“I cannot see the front!”
“Why are my f-feet?”
“My head feels like it will break!”
“H-how is a curse skill?”
Jin-su’s curse skills were in a state of having become more powerful according to the rise of mana stats and mental power stats and the rise of curse skill levels.
“Eeeik! I will live! I will live!”
At that time, one tanker with high curse resistance stubbornly fled alone.
‘Ice Hell,’
Dududuk!
‘Ice Explosion.’
Kwaaaaang!
However, he ended his life in an instant at two consecutive mage attack skills.
“Hiiiik!”
“How can this be.”
“To think Jinpyeong died.”
The enemies who witnessed the death of the fleeing tanker lost fighting spirit in an instant.
