Chapter 136

Level 2 Player

Immortal Knight (2)

Jin-su looked at Cheon Mu-seong who was opening his eyes wide and being astonished as if unable to believe the message that floated in front of his eyes with an expression as if he knew it would be so.

‘The Immortal Knight is not a top-tier class change certificate for no reason.’

It differs according to the player’s inclination, but there were also cases where some players rate the Immortal Knight class change certificate higher than unique grade class change certificates.

The reason is precisely the two cheat class skills the Immortal Knight possesses.

‘The first cheat class skill is Immortality.’

It is a class skill that can be obtained immediately upon changing class to Immortal Knight.

‘A skill that makes the corresponding player immortal for 10 seconds.’

If the Immortality skill activates, even if the heart is pierced and the body is cut into two, one does not die for 10 seconds.

‘The higher the skill level rises, the longer the activation time of the Immortality skill becomes, and the cooldown decreases.’

If the Immortal Knight class level rises, the second cheat class skill comes out.

‘Perfect Revival.’

It does not matter whether in a state of suffering a fatal wound where death is confirmed or a state where important body parts have annihilated.

‘A cheat skill that perfectly recovers not only injuries but also consumed health, mental power, and even mana at the moment of activation.’

It was a skill with perfectly identical performance to the final evolved form of the Revival Ring Jin-su obtained, and it was no different from one more spare life arising.

‘Also, the compatibility with the Immortality skill is the best.’

Jin-su also possesses the Immortal Knight class change certificate. However, the reason he does not use it carelessly is precisely because a Blessing that can raise the class level has not come out yet.

‘Perfect Revival is a skill that can be obtained only by hitting level 1,000 of the Immortal Knight class level.’

Jin-su had no thought of using the Immortal Knight class change certificate until a Blessing that can hit class level 1,000 or higher comes out.

‘But to Elder Cheon, it is a matter that does not matter.’

From Cheon Mu-seong’s perspective, changing class to Immortal Knight as quickly as possible was a benefit.

‘Although the Immortal Knight is a class whose only disadvantage is the high possibility of becoming a miscellaneous character...’

From Cheon Mu-seong’s perspective who can cover attack power with the Unrestrained Sword Art and Unrestrained Heart Method classified as neutral common skills that all warrior type classes can use while raising defense with class skills, it was not that large a penalty.

‘Rather, he might like it.’

An ordinary player might feel it as a disadvantage, but from Cheon Mu-seong’s perspective who staked everything on martial arts, he would rather welcome that the class skills do not greatly influence martial arts.

Also, if it is Cheon Mu-seong, not a miscellaneous character that is neither this nor that. The possibility of growing into an all-rounder character where attack power is high as a dealer and defense is sturdy as a tanker was high.

“Immortality, no matter how much a skill handles bizarre power, how can such an incomprehensible realm...”

On the other hand, Cheon Mu-seong seemed to have been not a little surprised at the existence of the Immortality skill.

‘Not bad.’

It seemed that changing class to Immortal Knight and obtaining the Immortality skill perfectly shattered Cheon Mu-seong’s fixed ideas.

‘If it is Elder Cheon of this time, he would have probably thought of class changes or skills as the degree of learning martial arts of a different texture or sorcery.’

There is no impossible matter in the Tower.

‘On the lower layers, there are rarely matters of realizing those words.’

However, if going to the highest layers or coming to possess an item of high grade of a level that is also current there, one can clearly recognize what meaning those words possess.

‘The Immortal Knight is one of the top-tier class change certificates at the peak of the Tower.’

The Immortality and Revival that are Immortal Knight class skills were that special.

“Can you explain to me about the skill called Immortality?”

“Of course.”

Cheon Mu-seong informed in detail about the information on the Immortality skill. Although Jin-su already knows all the information, he listened carefully as if hearing it for the first time.

“There is a saying that there is no impossible matter in the Tower. Perhaps I might experience even more incomprehensible things from now on.”

At Jin-su’s words, Cheon Mu-seong’s face was dyed with appropriate excitement and tension.

“Can you also inform about other changes besides the Immortality skill?”

“Yes, first the stats...”

Cheon Mu-seong continued the explanation about other class skills excluding Immortality that was newly obtained as well as the stats that increased upon changing class to Immortal Knight.

“There is nothing that can be called a main skill that increases force.”

“It seems so.”

A faint smile bloomed on Cheon Mu-seong’s lips. As Jin-su expected, it seemed he rather welcomes the fact that there is no skill that increases force.

“But the skill called Immortality is good to the degree of offsetting all of that.”

“That is so.”

Since it is no different from one more spare life arising, it could not be helped.

“It seems better not to be too conscious of it. To not be eaten by that skill called Immortality.”

“Of course.”

At Jin-su’s words, Cheon Mu-seong answered with a firm expression.

“But even so, leaving it alone like enshrining a spirit tablet is also a meaningless matter.”

Although it is 10 seconds, the methods to utilize the Immortality skill in combat were infinite. Saving it and using it only at the moment of facing a crisis where life is at stake?

‘Then it is no different from a chicken rib.’

When actually using the skill, it was hard to properly utilize, and decisively, if not using it frequently, the skill level cannot be raised.

To raise the skill level, one had to use it as frequently as possible, and also had to raise understanding and application ability toward the skill.

“How about trying a spar as realistic as needing to activate the Immortality skill with me from today?”

Jin-su lightly threw one word.

“Good. Unconditional agreement.”

In response, Cheon Mu-seong answered with a bright face like a fish that bit the bait.

“Then let’s do it as sparring after dinner every day.”

“Thank you. Thank you really, lord.”

Cheon Mu-seong repeatedly bent his waist to Jin-su with a face overcome with emotion.

‘I will see if you like it that much later too, old man.’

A sinister smile bloomed on Jin-su’s face.

Quite a lot of time has flowed after regression. However, unfortunately, Jin-su has almost no experience of fighting a strong person of equal or higher level than himself.

‘Perhaps because of that, it seems the practical combat sense is slightly rusted.’

Cheon Mu-seong was the strongest player Jin-su has met until now.

‘On top of that, he is also a martial artist who uses martial arts.’

It was a golden opportunity where he can check not only the slightly rusted practical combat experience but also swordsmanship.

‘Other people aside, there is no need to give any face to the old man.’

Even if a spar as realistic as practical combat, if one has to consider the opponent’s safety, that value is bound to drop.

‘Because one cannot kill while sparring.’

If one cannot aim at the opponent’s vital points, what kind of spar as realistic as practical combat is that? But Cheon Mu-seong possesses the Immortality skill. It means he does not die even to attacks that would be instant death for others.

‘It will also help Su-a’s training.’

Treating a pierced heart or attaching a severed body will also be quite a large help in raising the skill level of Shin Su-a who is a healer.

‘The matter of transmitting the Formless Sword Art and Formless Heart Method will also become convenient.’

To newly evolve stable existing martial arts, many risks follow. In extreme words, if slightly wrong, the muscles and meridians might twist, or one might lose life by falling into mana reflux or qi deviation.

‘But now there is no need to worry about such things.’

Die from mana reflux? Die from falling into qi deviation?

‘It is fine if correcting and treating within 10 seconds.’

If only there is the conviction that one absolutely does not die and a healer stuck like a 5-minute standby, there was nothing one cannot do.

‘Old man. From now on, I will roll you until a crying sound comes out of your mouth.’

The memory of the time when he learned martial arts rolling like a dog under Cheon Mu-seong’s instructions before regression floated freshly.

‘I will repay the favor received then with interest several times over.’

This is only returning the favor received from Cheon Mu-seong before regression.

It was absolutely not an act of retaliating against the residue before regression.

***

The next day after changing class to Immortal Knight. Cheon Mu-seong engaged in hunting even more actively and immersed in achievement acquisition and item acquisition. Also, he made efforts to use the changed stats and newly obtained skills more efficiently.

Jin-su also actively stepped forward for Cheon Mu-seong’s growth.

Clang! Clang!

While sweeping the 1st monster wave that Leo gathered with a wide-area provocation roar and the 2nd monster wave comes, Jin-su did a light form competition spar with Cheon Mu-seong.

This was something Jin-su proposed first to inform Cheon Mu-seong of the path for the Unrestrained Sword Art to change into the Formless Sword Art.

“Krureung!”

“Kyaooong!”

Once monsters gathered, the light form competition ended.

“Kheum.”

Cheon Mu-seong showed a regrettable gaze and then rushed toward the monsters. Currently, in Cheon Mu-seong’s head, there was only the thought of organizing the monsters as quickly as possible and continuing the form spar with Jin-su.

‘It is only a light form spar.’

Although it was a quite short time, what was obtained was quite a lot.

Jin-su informed of the sword path that supplements Cheon Mu-seong’s disadvantages like a master giving teaching to a subordinate.

That was not the end.

While looking at Jin-su’s sword path, Cheon Mu-seong could clearly realize what path he should head toward from now on.

‘It was really the best choice.’

The conviction that if continuing to follow Jin-su’s teaching, he could reach the ideal and perfect sword path he desired came.

‘Even at the moment of giving simple teaching with only forms, there is so much obtained. If becoming able to spar using internal energy in earnest...’

He could receive even more teaching than now.

Moreover, the matter of competing forms in the middle of hunting was of not a little help in adjusting the energy, qi, and spirit that rose due to achievement acquisition or level up or elixir intake.

‘I hope the hunting ends quickly.’

If following his heart, Cheon Mu-seong wanted to quit hunting and only receive Jin-su’s teaching all day.

The Jin-su party continued hunting while moving locations. In the middle of that, they even discovered one hidden dungeon, cleared it, and received an elixir as a reward.

“Now let’s return.”

Jin-su declared the end of hunting and moved his steps toward the village.

‘But where is he thinking of sparring after eating dinner?’

Cheon Mu-seong’s head was in a state of being full of sparring regardless of dinner or whatever.

‘Don’t tell me he is thinking of sparring in the city?’

Since the city was very wide, it was not that there is no space suitable for sparring. The problem was the aftermath that would occur if Jin-su and Cheon Mu-seong clash sincerely even using mana.

The place where Jin-su and Cheon Mu-seong first met and clashed was completely shattered. If waging such a confrontation inside the city?

It was not a problem of a few buildings shattering, but part of the city might be scorched.

‘Is he thinking of coming out to the hunting ground again after eating dinner?’

As of now, that was the most rational choice.

‘If it will be so anyway, it seems more rational to spar now.’

Cheon Mu-seong who was diligently rolling his head eventually could not endure and opened his mouth.

“Lord, are you thinking of coming out to the hunting ground again after dinner and sparring?”

“No, I am thinking of sparring by borrowing a place inside the city.”

“What?”

“Huh?”

At Jin-su’s words, not only Cheon Mu-seong but even Shin Su-a made a perplexed expression.

“Jin-su. Are you only doing form sparring even in the evening?”

Shin Su-a asked with an expression full of curiosity. And Cheon Mu-seong’s expression who heard such words of Shin Su-a became a crying face like a child who did not receive the gift he expected on Christmas morning.

“No, I will do it properly.”

“Then shouldn’t we go outside the city?”

“There is a method, so do not worry.”

At Jin-su’s words, Shin Su-a closed her mouth, and Cheon Mu-seong also sent a gaze full of curiosity.

“First, let’s go in quickly and eat dinner.”

Jin-su took Shin Su-a and Cheon Mu-seong and returned to the lodging. And after eating dinner heartily, he stood up from the seat.

“Let’s go.”

At Jin-su’s words, Shin Su-a and Cheon Mu-seong stood up from their seats. The place Jin-su took Shin Su-a and Cheon Mu-seong was a slum located near the city downtown.

Although it was close to the downtown to the degree of coming out right after crossing one road, the atmosphere was completely different.

Instead of bright light, thick darkness was laid, and the space where half-destroyed buildings and empty lots were located emitted a gloomy atmosphere.

This place was a place that criminals or homeless people seek for the purpose of avoiding night dew while taking the risk of PK, and the place with the highest crime rate in the city.

“Why did you come here?”

Shin Su-a asked with a puzzled expression.

Although people are rare, it is not that there are none at all. On top of that, it was a place close to the downtown where if a large commotion occurs, people have no choice but to gather immediately.

“This place is perfect as a sparring place. The distance from the lodging is also close, and since it is the entrance of the slum, people are also rare.”

“If the two of you spar here, a riot will occur quickly.”

“Since you are there, there is no need to worry about such things. You said the Sanctuary skill surpassed level 100.”

At Jin-su’s words, Shin Su-a opened her eyes wide.

As the Sanctuary skill surpassed level 100, stealth and soundproofing functions arose. It was a good function of not drawing monster aggro even if lighting a fire and eating a meal or freely conversing inside the Sanctuary.

Naturally, it was also effective on players.

Decisively, the Sanctuary blocks attacks from the outside as well as attacks from the inside to the outside.

“Don’t tell me you are trying to spar inside the Sanctuary skill?”

“That’s right.”

Shin Su-a’s mouth opened wide.
