Level 2 Player

Real Crazy Guy (2)

“Th-thank you.”

Cheon Mu-seong answered in a trembling voice. Although he felt slight fear at Jin-su’s madness, he could not refuse Jin-su’s goodwill. Cheon Mu-seong also knew that a spar staking life is the fastest path to growing martial arts.

Also, once thinking carefully, as Jin-su said, to raise the level of the Immortality skill, periodically dying was the correct answer.

On top of that, if dying a lot, he would be able to counterattack with a sound mind during the time the Immortality skill is maintained without being flustered like a little while ago in a dead situation.

“As expected, I knew you would answer like that.”

Jin-su answered with a brightly smiling face.

‘As expected, it is the old man.’

Even if it is to raise the skill level, death is by no means something that can be easily accepted.

‘But it is a necessary matter.’

Especially a skill like Immortality had to actively raise the level on the lower layers of the Tower where there is absolutely no matter of dying an unnatural death with Cheon Mu-seong’s skill.

‘Originally, it was a skill growth method I was thinking of using if I change class to Immortal Knight.’

Jin-su also knew to some degree that it is a method anyone cannot use.

‘But the old man is not anyone.’

Cheon Mu-seong is a weirdo to the degree of being called Mad God. If it is such a Cheon Mu-seong, he thought he would agree to the skill growth method he thought of.

‘If an ordinary person, even if knowing the fact that that is the only path of Immortality skill growth, he would not be able to use it easily.’

The fear and creepiness of having to continuously experience death.

On top of that, it was a method that can be used only by overcoming the fear of perhaps dying emptily at a decisive moment by carelessly wasting the cooldown of the Immortality skill.

Jin-su was prepared for that, and that was the same for Cheon Mu-seong.

“You will continue to use the shield and tanker skills from now on as well, right?”

“Yes, I am thinking of founding martial arts that actively utilize the shield on this opportunity.”

This was also a large challenge from Cheon Mu-seong’s perspective. Because founding new martial arts was a matter possible only for a great master of founding school level.

“You made a great resolution. I hope you definitely succeed.”

Jin-su sincerely cheered for Cheon Mu-seong.

‘It was a matter that did not exist before regression.’

The Cheon Mu-seong Jin-su met before regression only made efforts to grow the Unrestrained Sword Art and Unrestrained Heart Method that he was originally learning into the Formless Sword Art and Formless Heart Method.

There was never a time he challenged to found new martial arts.

‘Also, he did not try to actively utilize class skills like this either.’

Before regression, Cheon Mu-seong did not even make the attempt itself of using class skills as main or fusing with existing martial arts. At first, it was because of rejection toward skills, and later, it was because he judged it was too late.

‘That was not a wrong thought either.’

Cheon Mu-seong before regression ignored the skills excluding the main skills of Unrestrained Sword Art and Unrestrained Heart Method for too long a time. Due to that, the difference in grade was too large, so the risk was too large to fuse the Unrestrained Sword Art or Unrestrained Heart Method with other skills or use them together.

‘To the degree of judging that growing the Unrestrained Sword Art and Unrestrained Heart Method he is learning is better...’

However, this time the situation was different. Because he met Jin-su far faster than before regression.

“I will also actively help.”

“Thank you, lord.”

“Then let’s return now.”

“Yes.”

“Yeah.”

The Jin-su party returned to the lodging again.

***

The pattern of the Jin-su party was the same as if framed. Waking up early in the morning and going out to hunt, then eating dinner, sparring, organizing items, and going to bed.

However, the daily life repeating like a squirrel wheel did not last that long.

“Now let’s depart.”

At Jin-su’s words, Cheon Mu-seong’s face brightened.

“Good, lord.”

Because the life of massacring monsters while repeating the same daily life every day was enormously boring. He could endure because there was the mindset of attaching fun to increasing stats through achievements and raising skill levels and experimenting to found new martial arts. But recently, the achievement acquisition speed slowed sharply, and motivation dropped a lot.

‘Even if going to another city, only the type of monsters dealt with changes.’

From Jin-su’s perspective, it was hard to understand why Cheon Mu-seong likes it that much.

‘Well, if moving locations, new achievements can be acquired, and the probability of finding hidden dungeons also rises.’

Also, if repeating the same daily life in the same place every day, one becomes more bored.

‘Even if only changing the place, many things change.’

If the environment changes, mood conversion also happens, and familiar daily life can become new stimulation, so there was nothing bad.

“Are we departing right today?”

“I am thinking of doing so, there is nothing left at the lodging, right?”

“None.”

At Jin-su’s words, Shin Su-a nodded and answered. Since there is an inventory, to begin with, there was no matter itself of leaving something at the lodging and going.

“Then let’s eat breakfast and depart right away.”

“Yes, lord.”

“Yeah, got it.”

The Jin-su party who ate breakfast solidly left the start city. And coincidentally, around lunch that day, the guild master of the Daehan Guild arrived at the start city.

***

“Yeah, it is here. Is it certain?”

The guild master of the Daehan Guild on Floor 200, Choi Woo-hyung, asked with an expression full of expectation.

“Yes, it is certain. But he went out to hunt and is not at the lodging now.”

“When does he return?”

“He will return around evening. Going out to hunt early in the morning and returning in the evening. And eating dinner and entering the slum to spar and then taking sleep.”

“There will be no matter of the schedule suddenly changing, right?”

“Yes, until now, he moved like that without missing a day.”

“Then for now, we will have to wait.”

The guild master of the Daehan Guild, Choi Woo-hyung, sat at the restaurant located on the 1st floor of the lodging together with the start city executives and took a seat.

‘I have to affiliate him with the Daehan Guild somehow. If not that, I have to at least form acquaintance.’

The guild master of the Daehan Guild, Choi Woo-hyung, was desperate. The forces that acted high and mighty as large guilds until before Floor 200, including the Daehan Guild, the America Alliance, Phoenix Guild, Hwangryong Guild, Ivan Guild, Upendo Guild, and Alsani Guild, fell to small and medium guilds pushed by the huge Musung origin and Arius origin guilds the moment they arrived at Floor 200.

‘Originally, Earth origin small and medium guilds could not maintain force and completely annihilated.’

The problem was the point that the annihilated small and medium guilds were absorbed into Musung origin and Arius origin guilds, not Earth origin guilds. Fortunately, large guilds like the Daehan Guild could barely maintain independent force, but...

‘There is no meaning like this.’

Even before Floor 200, the Daehan Guild belonged to the side with few personnel among huge guilds. They somehow maintained force because there were many excellent skilled people, but the moment they arrived at Floor 200, the situation changed rapidly.

Because not only newbies but also skilled ones among existing guild members began to transfer affiliation to Musung origin and Arius origin guilds one by one.

It could be understood.

Because the current Daehan Guild had all usable hunting grounds taken and fell to a pitiful situation of having to act while watching the eyes of other huge guilds at any time.

Fortunately, after the Earth origin huge guilds became the main axis and formed an alliance, they could maintain a certain degree of sphere of influence, but nonetheless, the outflow of skilled guild members could not be prevented.

‘If going like this, in the end, only falling.’

The Daehan Guild that belongs to the weak side even among the Earth origin guild alliance fell to a weak force where the existence itself of the guild is uncertain due to continuous guild member outflow.

‘If recruiting the Blood White Sword Demon, I can sufficiently have an opportunity for reversal.’

If the Blood White Sword Demon who alone fell the Musung origin huge guild Sahyeolmun becomes affiliated with the Daehan Guild?

‘The sorrow until now ends.’

Not only Earth origin huge guilds. The appearance of Musung origin huge guilds or Arius origin huge guilds crawling while watching the Daehan Guild’s eyes was clearly visible.

‘Recruiting with money like points or items as a weapon will be impossible.’

The financial power of the Daehan Guild was not that good.

‘If a type that pursues power, I would hand over even my seat.’

Since there is almost no information known about the Blood White Sword Demon, the sense of how to recruit did not catch.

‘He is absolutely not a killer or evil person.’

It can be known from stepping forward for Changseongmun and just letting go of the Daehan Guild member who was caught while tailing.

‘Even so, he does not seem like a pushover either.’

He fell Sahyeolmun and swept all the vagrants of the slum who rush at him. Looking at such things, it was absolutely not a weak heart.

‘It should be seen as a type that treats goodwill with goodwill and malice with malice.’

If such a person, it is not that there is no method.

‘If thoroughly showing goodwill and showing good intentions, he will clearly repay.’

Decisively, being the same Korean was an enormous advantage.

‘The saying that one becomes a patriot when going abroad is not there for no reason.’

If talking about the difficult reality of Koreans, the heart might move.

‘First, let’s grasp what kind of person he is as much as possible through conversation.’

The guild master of the Daehan Guild, Choi Woo-hyung, spun this and that simulations in his head and conceived methods to recruit the Blood White Sword Demon.

Yet, even though the sun set and the dinner time passed far, Jin-su did not reveal his appearance at the lodging.

“Why is he not coming?”

“O-today he seems a bit late. There are times like this very occasionally.”

At the answer of the start city executives, the guild master of the Daehan Guild, Choi Woo-hyung, nodded as if understanding.

Time continued to flow.

“Restaurant business has ended, guest.”

Then the business hours of the 1st floor restaurant of the lodging ended. But the Blood White Sword Demon did not reveal his appearance.

“What is this?”

“I will find out once.”

The branch leader of the start city branch quickly stepped forward and approached the lodging owner.

“Among the guests staying here...”

The start city branch leader described the appearance of the Jin-su party and asked about the whereabouts.

“Those people checked out this morning?”

At hearing the lodging owner’s answer, the start city branch leader’s mouth opened wide. He thought it was just going out to hunt and could not even imagine in his dreams that they checked out.

“Um, guild master.”

“I also heard. Owner, do you not know where they went?”

“Naturally I do not know. There were no particular words heard either.”

At hearing the lodging owner’s words, the guild master of the Daehan Guild, Choi Woo-hyung, stood up abruptly from the seat.

“Find him immediately!”

At the shout of the guild master of the Daehan Guild, Choi Woo-hyung, the Daehan Guild members moved busily.

‘Did he move the lodging? Or did he leave this city?’

Both possibilities existed.

‘If it is just the distance of moving the lodging, it is fortunate, but...’

If it is leaving the start city, there was no way to find the Blood White Sword Demon.

***

On the other hand, the Jin-su party who left the start city early in the morning ran at full speed toward the next destination. Jin-su and Cheon Mu-seong could run faster than a car thanks to high body ability.

The problem was Shin Su-a who is a healer. But that problem was simply solved by Jin-su holding Shin Su-a in his arms and running.

‘Good.’

A bright smile bloomed on the lips of Shin Su-a held in Jin-su’s arms.

‘Before, I moved while being tucked under the armpit like luggage.’

Being held like a princess, both physically and psychologically, the heart was far more at ease and comfortable.

‘I hope we continue going like this.’

While Shin Su-a was thinking such thoughts, Jin-su stopped his steps.

“A monster resembling a dragon, how is such an existence?”

Cheon Mu-seong also drew the sword with a startled expression.

‘What is it?’

What entered the eyes of Shin Su-a who turned her head was a huge Bone Dragon with a pitch-black body.

‘Jin-su called it.’

Near the start city hunting ground, there were many gazes of other players, so he ran directly, but once thinking it has fallen to some degree, he called the Bone Dragon that can fly in the sky for fast movement.

Cheon Mu-seong, the only one among the Jin-su party who saw the Bone Dragon for the first time, was preparing for combat while raising mana with an expression full of tension and excitement mixed.

“Lord, it does not seem an ordinary monster. Since it is a guy flying in the sky, first to the ground...”

“Since it is my summon, there is no need to be tense.”

Jin-su lightly cut the words of Cheon Mu-seong who was taking a posture of about to rush at any moment while drawing the sword and shield.

“What did you just say...?”

“It is my summon.”

Along with those words, Jin-su lightly gestured.

“Kwaaaaak!”

Flutter! Flutter!

Kuuuung!

The heavy body of the Bone Dragon that was flying in the sky landed on the ground.

“Krureureung!”

Then it lowered its head in front of Jin-su.

Stroke stroke stroke!

Jin-su stroked the bridge of the Bone Dragon’s nose as if commendable.

“Let’s get on quickly.”

Tak!

Along with those words, Jin-su jumped lightly while holding Shin Su-a and stepped on the Bone Dragon’s head and neck and climbed onto the back.

“...”

The mouth of Cheon Mu-seong who witnessed such actions of Jin-su opened wide.
