Level 2 Player
Real Crazy Guy
‘Today I will have to try sparring in a state where the old man and Su-a form a team.’
After yesterday’s spar ended and before and after the combat with the PK players, Cheon Mu-seong thoroughly saw the benefit of Shin Su-a’s dispel skill and purification skill. But to properly match breathing, there was a need to spar as one team.
‘Honestly, with the combat with the PK players that occurred yesterday, he would not have properly realized the healer’s skills.’
The level of the PK players met yesterday was below the level even based on the start city of Floor 200.
‘They just believed in the headcount and thought they can win and rushed.’
Yesterday Cheon Mu-seong experienced dealing with Jin-su alone in the second spar. So today it was the turn to experience dealing with Jin-su while matching breathing with a healer.
‘He will probably be greatly surprised.’
The second spar that will occur today will become an opportunity to thoroughly imprint the importance of a healer on Cheon Mu-seong. And such an expectation of Jin-su hit properly.
Clang! Boom!
‘Certainly different.’
Thanks to matching with Shin Su-a, Cheon Mu-seong could undergo the second spar far more comfortably than yesterday. The curse Jin-su cast annihilated quickly, and thanks to that, he could undergo combat in a far better condition compared to yesterday.
Jin-su’s magic attack skills and archer attack skills could also be blocked far more easily by utilizing Shin Su-a’s protection skill and the protection skill obtained upon changing class to Immortal Knight.
But it was that it is easier than yesterday, not the meaning that he can win against Jin-su.
Booooom!
Cheon Mu-seong’s body was pushed back powerlessly. It was because he was caught off guard by Jin-su’s attack combining assassin skills and tanker skills.
‘With the orthodox method, it is still too much.’
Cheon Mu-seong bit his molars. Yesterday he could not even graze Jin-su’s hair in the second spar. However, today was different.
A situation where he was not hit by curses thanks to Shin Su-a’s help and rather the overall body ability and skill power even increased.
‘Even if dying once, I will definitely hit one hit.’
Cheon Mu-seong resolved that he will definitely succeed today in the matter he failed yesterday. However, he did not rush hastily like yesterday. He aimed for a gap to dig in calmly while enduring large and small injuries.
The reason Cheon Mu-seong can calmly aim for an opportunity was thanks to Shin Su-a’s recovery skill. Small injuries disappear in an instant, and large injuries also eventually completely heal although slowly. From Cheon Mu-seong’s perspective, it means there is no need to worry about power decline due to injuries.
Jin-su also noticed such thoughts of Cheon Mu-seong.
‘If I was a real enemy, I would have attacked Su-a who is the healer first.’
However, this was a spar to the end.
From Jin-su’s perspective, there was the advantage of being able to train the combination and application of each class skill, Cheon Mu-seong had the advantage of being able to become familiar with the method of defending attack skills of various classes and the tanker’s class skills, and Shin Su-a had the advantage of being able to grasp the appropriate use timing and application timing of the skills she possesses.
It was a spar that is of help to all three.
‘Later I will also grant the role of protecting Su-a to the old man who is a tanker, but...’
It was still too early.
‘First, making the old man master the Immortal Knight class skills is the priority.’
Cheon Mu-seong no longer looked down on or belittled classes, skills, achievements, and items as sorcery. It means Cheon Mu-seong acknowledged the usefulness and power of skills in his own way.
‘However, acknowledging and actively utilizing are different.’
Cheon Mu-seong still did not use a shield and did not wear armor either. Even though he changed class to a tanker, he was engaging in the spar with Jin-su purely holding one sword.
‘Then I have to make him use it even forcibly.’
Jin-su was thinking of roughly pushing until Cheon Mu-seong not only actively utilizes the Immortal Knight class skills but also wears tanker equipment and learns exclusive skills and common skills without rejection and skillfully utilizes them in combat.
‘I have to thoroughly drive him into a corner to be able to change that stubborn old man’s thoughts and actions.’
Jin-su pushed Cheon Mu-seong even more roughly.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Baekcheon Divine Sword emitting pure white sword force in streams collided consecutively with Cheon Mu-seong’s sword. As the skill nullification the Baekcheon Divine Sword possesses activated, the sword force condensed on Cheon Mu-seong’s sword gradually became blurry like a candle in front of the wind.
‘Let’s finish today’s spar around here.’
He endured longer than yesterday. But this was only because he matched with Shin Su-a to the end. Cheon Mu-seong’s capacity itself did not change greatly.
‘I should think it is fortunate that he used the Immortal Knight class skills about a few times.’
Jin-su calmly applied pressure while preparing for Cheon Mu-seong launching a mutual destruction type attack of you die I die like yesterday.
‘This is the end.’
It was right before the force condensed on Cheon Mu-seong’s sword completely faded.
Whoosh!
Jin-su swung the Baekcheon Divine Sword and launched the final strike.
Boom!
At that moment, a large shield suddenly popped out and bounced the Baekcheon Divine Sword with powerful force.
‘What is this?’
Once a shield suddenly popped out from Cheon Mu-seong’s left hand, Jin-su was astonished.
Whoosh!
Cheon Mu-seong approached Jin-su at an enormous speed in the state of holding the shield as is.
‘The old man is using a tanker skill that uses a shield?’
Jin-su was sincerely surprised. He had the thought of intending Cheon Mu-seong’s change. But he did not even dream that Cheon Mu-seong who is particularly more conservative and stubborn even among Musung origin martial artists would use a shield in only one day of sparring.
‘I did not expect such a dramatic change.’
However, this was a butterfly effect due to Jin-su to the end.
Cheon Mu-seong before regression stayed away calling class changes, skills, achievements, and items sorcery for quite a long time. This was because Cheon Mu-seong was that strong. Since there is no matter of falling into crisis, there was no way thoughts would change.
Although he fixed his thoughts later, Cheon Mu-seong thought of classes, skills, achievements, and items as about a supplement to raise the realm of martial arts.
However, this time the situation was different.
After the first meeting and combat with Jin-su, he obtained enlightenment. Cheon Mu-seong acknowledged and respected Jin-su as a martial artist who rose to a higher realm than himself. After that, he broke his fixed ideas early through debate with Jin-su.
The next thing that gave a large shock was the spar with Jin-su. During the first spar of using only martial arts, even if defeated, he did not feel powerlessness and emptiness. Rather, he could boast that he learned many things. However, the second spar with Jin-su who freely uses other class skills was too one-sided.
Cheon Mu-seong felt strong powerlessness and emptiness.
The unexpected one-sided defeat gave an enormously large shock to Cheon Mu-seong. Also, at the same time, he desperately realized how threatening and strong the power the system gives is.
However, he did not waste time blankly falling into frustration.
Cheon Mu-seong is a stubborn person but a person who knows how to acknowledge his own mistakes and enlighten. Also, he is a personality that does not distinguish water and fire to achieve the purpose to the degree of obtaining the nickname Mad God by frequently committing eccentric acts for the reason of obtaining enlightenment.
Since he realized the power and usefulness of the system, there is no reason not to use it. It was not that he does not worry about the regression of martial arts. However, like Jin-su’s words, he was convinced that if regressing by falling into the system’s power, it is only because the party is incompetent.
Cheon Mu-seong overflowing with pride in himself believed in himself. He thought he is not such an incompetent person. That is why he immediately dug into the Immortal Knight class skills.
In that process, he also took interest in tanker exclusive skills and common skills. He also invested points into items without hesitation. Cheon Mu-seong held a shield that can be said to be one of the tanker’s main weapons without even a bit of hesitation and learned related skills.
Although it was a shield he has never held in his life, to Cheon Mu-seong who already decided to accept everything of the Tower, he rather regarded it as an opportunity to found new martial arts.
‘The lord was flustered.’
Cheon Mu-seong felt large joy at Jin-su’s expression dyed with perplexity at the moment he took out the shield from the inventory and used a tanker skill.
‘To think that confident and annoying face distorts.’
Cheon Mu-seong added strength to the grip until the sword and shield crush.
Obtaining enlightenment due to Jin-su and breaking fixed ideas was really a large favor. However, Cheon Mu-seong’s high pride could not easily endure yesterday’s one-sided defeat.
Actually, the biggest reason Cheon Mu-seong held a shield without hesitation and learned tanker-related skills was because he wanted to see the appearance of Jin-su’s face that looks arrogant beyond confidence being dyed with perplexity by landing a valid hit even just once.
‘But I cannot be satisfied at this degree.’
Cheon Mu-seong wanted to become a martial artist who receives Jin-su’s acknowledgment. Not simply surprising being the end, he wanted to compete equally with Jin-su.
‘This time I will absolutely not lose powerlessly. And I will definitely hit one hit.’
Also, he wanted his own wish that he could not achieve yesterday to be achieved today.
Whoosh!
Cheon Mu-seong’s sword drew a beautiful sword path and approached Jin-su.
‘He really surprises people.’
Jin-su was astonished at the fact that Cheon Mu-seong held a shield and used a tanker skill, but he was not flustered.
Clang!
Jin-su blocked Cheon Mu-seong’s attack and took the offense again. Cheon Mu-seong blocked Jin-su’s attacks more easily by using the shield and tanker skills. However, unlike Cheon Mu-seong who is properly holding a shield and using tanker skills for the first time today, Jin-su was a person more familiar than anyone with combat against tankers who use a shield as main.
Clang! Crack! Thud!
Jin-su calmly strategized against Cheon Mu-seong holding the shield. Cheon Mu-seong used the shield and tanker skills skillfully to the degree hard to believe it is the first use. It was not that he unconditionally relies on the shield or tanker skills either. If judging there is no need, Cheon Mu-seong put the shield into the inventory and stepped footwork and secured mobility.
‘To think he utilizes the combat technique utilizing the inventory this well.’
Jin-su was greatly surprised at Cheon Mu-seong’s transformation.
‘I will have to inform of more things.’
If Cheon Mu-seong used the combat technique utilizing the inventory for the first time today, Jin-su was a master of the combat technique utilizing the inventory.
Whoosh!
Jin-su used an assassin skill and hid his appearance and moved. Cheon Mu-seong belatedly sensed Jin-su’s movement and raised the shield.
Kwaang!
At that time, Jin-su changed the Blood-Sucking Sword to a shield and used the tanker’s charge skill.
“Keuk!”
At the moment Cheon Mu-seong’s left arm rose and the shield was lifted up, Jin-su swung the Baekcheon Divine Sword and changed the shield to the Blood-Sucking Sword again. He aimed the Baekcheon Divine Sword and Blood-Sucking Sword at Cheon Mu-seong at the same time.
Cheon Mu-seong also belatedly stored the shield in the inventory and then twisted his body and tried to block Jin-su’s attack, but he was one step late.
Clang!
The Blood-Sucking Sword wrapped in blood-colored force pushed away Cheon Mu-seong’s sword.
Crack!
Following that, the Baekcheon Divine Sword possessing skill nullification and options pulverized Cheon Mu-seong’s protective force and protection skill.
Thuk!
The Baekcheon Divine Sword pierced Cheon Mu-seong’s heart.
“Keuk!”
The sensation of the cold blade being driven into the heart was transmitted to Cheon Mu-seong’s brain. As the heart was pierced, the circulation of blood circulating the whole body stopped. As the oxygen supply to the brain was blocked, consciousness rapidly blurred.
‘Is this death.’
At the moment Cheon Mu-seong realizes the sensation of death for the first time in his life, the Immortality skill activated. At the same time, Jin-su pulled out the blade and cast a recovery skill, and Shin Su-a’s heal shower poured.
The sensation of the heart and muscles where the cold blade was driven recovering quickly was felt, and at the same time, the blurred consciousness became clear.
“Haa! Haa!”
Cheon Mu-seong spat out rough breaths. He could desperately realize that he died once and came back to life along with the sensation of the heart being pierced and recovering again.
“Are you okay?”
Jin-su’s voice was heard in Cheon Mu-seong’s ears.
“Since I minimized the force and stabbed as cleanly as possible, there will be a stiff feeling for about a day, but there will be no large problem.”
Looking at the appearance of Jin-su who killed him once and speaks with a calm face, Cheon Mu-seong’s body trembled. Before the cold blade was driven into the heart, he thought since there is the Immortality skill, even if losing life during the spar, it is fine if coming back to life again. But after directly experiencing, the thoughts changed.
Even though there was 10 seconds of time, he could not even properly counterattack Jin-su and fell into confusion and was only blankly receiving treatment.
“It is a feeling I do not want to experience again. Next time I will absolutely not be hit this powerlessly.”
“What powerlessly. I was really greatly surprised today. And although it will be an unpleasant experience, you will have to become familiar with it from now on.”
“Have to become familiar?”
“Since the Immortality skill is also a skill, the level rises quickly if using it frequently. Regrettable, but until the cooldown of the Immortality skill returns, I will have to lower the spar difficulty a bit. Because safety is the top priority.”
Cheon Mu-seong who heard Jin-su’s words of calmly saying he will cut the breath to raise the level of the Immortality skill once the cooldown turns certainly realized.
Although he heard many madman sounds from others, the fact that the real crazy guy was separate...
