Level 2 Player
Spar (2)
Jin-su and Cheon Mu-seong took their places in the center of the training ground.
“Shall I unfold Sanctuary?”
“Yeah, please.”
At Shin Su-a’s question, Jin-su nodded and answered.
It is a quite high-grade annex, and the training ground is also wide. Also, all buildings were receiving the system’s protection. However, no matter how a building receiving the system’s protection, it cannot fully withstand the spar of irregular strong people of Jin-su and Cheon Mu-seong’s degree.
If unnecessarily swept by the storm of force and the building is damaged, it is troublesome, so unfolding Sanctuary was the best.
‘Su-a’s Sanctuary level also rose quite a lot.’
Whether because raising the level by unfolding the skill as soon as the cooldown turns even alone, now it was to the degree that Shin Su-a’s Sanctuary is harder than the annex building receiving the system’s protection.
“Sanctuary!”
Hwaak!
Shin Su-a cast the Sanctuary skill.
“Let’s start.”
“Yes, lord.”
At Jin-su’s words, Cheon Mu-seong shortly answered.
Tak!
Cheon Mu-seong threw his body first.
Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!
Cheon Mu-seong’s sword wrapped in pure white force flew toward Jin-su.
‘There is nothing particularly changed from before.’
The footwork of moving feet and the sword art of swinging the sword were the same as before.
‘What?’
Although a slightly puzzled heart arose, Jin-su was in a state of deciding to do full power in this spar.
Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!
The Baekcheon Divine Sword and Blood-Sucking Sword were dyed with pure white force and blood-colored force.
Kwaaaang!
The Baekcheon Divine Sword Jin-su swung and Cheon Mu-seong’s sword collided head-on, and fragments of force burst in all directions.
Whoosh!
At that moment, the Blood-Sucking Sword held in Jin-su’s left hand moved elegantly and aimed at Cheon Mu-seong’s heart.
‘The shield will come out.’
As Jin-su expected, Cheon Mu-seong took out a shield from the inventory and blocked the Blood-Sucking Sword.
Kwaaaang!
Again force and force collided, and a large explosion occurred.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Jin-su pressured Cheon Mu-seong while swinging the Baekcheon Divine Sword and Blood-Sucking Sword with a fierce momentum.
‘Huh?’
When Cheon Mu-seong attacked first, it was fine to see that there is nothing changed from before at all. However, once it became a situation where Jin-su attacks and Cheon Mu-seong defends, points far improved from before entered the eyes.
‘The shield usage method is art?’
Cheon Mu-seong was originally a swordsman who used a sword. After changing class to Immortal Knight, he handled the shield amazingly well. However, it was only handling well for a beginner, and enormously lacking compared to swordsmanship skill.
Yet, in that short time, Cheon Mu-seong’s shield art was in a state of amazingly developing.
‘On top of that, why so hard?’
Jin-su is using the Baekcheon Divine Sword with the skill nullification passive skill equipped. As such, he could more easily nullify the opponent’s attacks and force.
Yet, against such Jin-su’s fierce attack and the Baekcheon Divine Sword’s skill nullification, Cheon Mu-seong showed an amazingly hard appearance.
‘It is certain that a new martial art was skillized.’
Yet, the effect was unusual. On top of that, that was not the end either.
Kwaang! Clang! Boom!
‘The sword art and heart method changed.’
There was no one who knows the main martial arts Unrestrained Sword Art and Unrestrained Heart Method Cheon Mu-seong learned as well as Jin-su. Because of that, Jin-su could easily predict Cheon Mu-seong’s movements and attacks.
Yet, now Cheon Mu-seong’s sword art and the flow of mana were subtly different from the Unrestrained Sword Art or Unrestrained Heart Method Jin-su knew.
‘It is not the side changing into Formless Sword Art or Formless Heart Method either?’
Jin-su was thinking of transmitting Formless Sword Art and Formless Heart Method to Cheon Mu-seong. That is why he actively used Formless Sword Art and Formless Heart Method in spars with Cheon Mu-seong. Cheon Mu-seong also showed an attitude of trying to learn Formless Sword Art and Formless Heart Method Jin-su uses.
‘Something definitely changed.’
The martial arts Unrestrained Sword Art and Unrestrained Heart Method Cheon Mu-seong learned changed into another form. Yet, the direction of that change was flowing in a different direction from Formless Sword Art or Formless Heart Method Jin-su learned.
‘Should I leave this or block?’
Martial arts that started in the Musung dimension changed so that anyone can easily learn thanks to skillization. However, the root did not change.
To properly digest martial arts and perfectly learn, simply raising the skill level is insufficient. Regardless of the skill level, the player himself had to understand and realize the essence of the martial arts he learned.
‘Will this change be a gain or loss to the old man.’
Formless Sword Art and Formless Heart Method are martial arts Jin-su and Cheon Mu-seong put their heads together and created before regression. Yet, Cheon Mu-seong after regression made a different choice from before regression.
‘Is it because he changed class to Immortal Knight?’
If Cheon Mu-seong, he thought there would be no loss of martial arts at all even if changing class to a tanker. But such an expectation of Jin-su missed.
Cheon Mu-seong who changed class to Immortal Knight and began using a shield was walking a completely different path from before regression and changing his own martial arts.
‘First, shall I confirm a bit more?’
Jin-su raised mana and attacked Cheon Mu-seong more actively.
Kwaang! Kwaang! Boom!
Fragments of force that burst in all directions strongly knocked the Sanctuary Shin Su-a made. If such matters continuously repeat, the Sanctuary might be destroyed. But Jin-su did not mind.
The Baekcheon Divine Sword Jin-su swung collides with Cheon Mu-seong’s sword. The shield Cheon Mu-seong swung was blocked by the Blood-Sucking Sword.
Jin-su and Cheon Mu-seong unfolded a fierce close combat while moving at a speed ordinary level players can hardly follow with their eyes.
‘The footwork also changed.’
It became heavier and harder.
‘The nature of mana is also abnormally heavy and dignified.’
If receiving this degree of impact continuously, one receives internal injuries or the mana is disturbed. But the current Cheon Mu-seong was firmly withstanding without shaking at all while freely receiving Jin-su’s attacks according to the situation or elegantly flowing them as if being a vast sea.
‘If there is a disadvantage, it is that the flow of mana is so heavy that it feels slow to a degree.’
That was largely the possibility because it is a situation of doing full power in defense. Because the movements and mana flow when first rushing toward Jin-su and pouring fierce attacks were not greatly different from before.
‘Good.’
It was a feeling of upgrading only defense power while maintaining attack power as is.
‘Instead, the flow of mana changes as if there is a switch.’
When attacking, it is fast and intense as before, but when defending, it is hard and heavy.
‘This will be of help to me as well.’
Jin-su also possesses tanker class skills. Also, he possesses the Immortal Knight class change certificate as well. Although he has no thought of using the Immortal Knight class change certificate right now, anyway he was thinking of continuing to upgrade and maintain tanker class skills from now on as well.
‘It is a martial art with enormously good compatibility with tanker class skills.’
It is a martial art whose value would have sharply dropped if a penalty occurred in attack power. However, if freely changing the nature of mana when attacking and defending as if switching, this was the appearance of one new weapon arising.
‘Although it is a bit caught that the old man is going a completely different path from Formless Sword Art and Formless Heart Method.’
It is not that the new martial art Cheon Mu-seong is unfolding now is lower compared to Formless Sword Art or Formless Heart Method. Rather, according to future growth possibility, it could become a martial art that rivals Formless Sword Art or Formless Heart Method.
‘Formless Sword Art and Formless Heart Method can be shared through skill sharing.’
And if the new martial art Cheon Mu-seong created now also has skill sharing stacks for Jin-su?
‘It means one can receive sharing very easily.’
Originally, Cheon Mu-seong creating a new martial art and going a path away from Formless Sword Art and Formless Heart Method could become a very large problem if done wrong. It is fortunate if the new martial art Cheon Mu-seong made is a martial art that rivals Formless Sword Art and Formless Heart Method.
‘But one cannot be certain.’
If not a slightly lower level but a martial art below expectation comes out? If now it harmonizes on both attack and defense sides but tilts sharply to the defense side? Or if the harmony breaks and it changes into a half martial art where attack is also sloppy and defense is also sloppy?
It becomes the appearance of breaking the future of one of the Tower’s strongest players called Mad God Cheon Mu-seong.
‘The Blessing is the best.’
If only growing the Blessing, one can perfectly solve problems that might occur if any.
‘The best is the old man creating a martial art that transcends Formless Sword Art or Formless Heart Method made before regression.’
However, even if equal or slightly lower, it did not matter. Then it is fine if sharing the level 2,222 Formless Sword Art and Formless Heart Method skills Jin-su learned with Cheon Mu-seong.
Kwaang! Clang! Boom!
The close combat of Jin-su and Cheon Mu-seong continued fiercely. However, Jin-su no longer continued strong attacks. He continued a form-centered close combat while maintaining force to the minimum.
‘This is a test to the end.’
If following the heart, he wanted to confirm with full power how hard Cheon Mu-seong’s new martial art is. But the place was not good for that.
‘If doing so, the Sanctuary will break and the annex will all be shattered.’
Jin-su had no heart to cause such a large disturbance in the middle of the city.
‘Also, the cooldown of the Immortality skill has not fully turned yet.’
There are plenty of spar opportunities. If going on an expedition to a hunting ground full of monsters far from the city, one could fight with full power without caring about the surrounding environment or gazes.
‘Proper testing will have to be done then.’
Around the time of going on an expedition again, the cooldown of the Immortality skill will also have fully turned, so it was perfect for doing full power as well.
Whooong!
The shield held in Cheon Mu-seong’s left hand flew toward Jin-su as if a blunt weapon.
Clang!
Jin-su struck the shield with the Blood-Sucking Sword and swung the Baekcheon Divine Sword.
Kwaaaang!
At that moment, Cheon Mu-seong’s shield that was pushed back twisted strangely and blocked the Baekcheon Divine Sword.
‘Before, he only took out the shield from the inventory when needed.’
Now he handled it freely as if becoming one body with the shield. Especially, using the shield for defense and also for attack according to need was surprising.
‘The flow of mana converts in an instant. How is such a thing possible?’
Cheon Mu-seong’s mana was hard and heavy when using the shield for defense, but when using for attack, it was fast and intense.
Jin-su also had a certain skill in mana control. After obtaining Holy Body Constitution and Dark Body Constitution and eating various elixirs including Spirit Demon Pills, Jin-su’s mana circuit expanded larger and the durability also enormously strengthened. As a result, he could use more amount of mana faster and without loss.
However, even such a Jin-su could not change the nature of mana as fast and continuously as Cheon Mu-seong. If forcibly trying to follow, one could, but the loss was larger than the gain that can be obtained by doing so.
Because overload is applied to the mana circuit and there was a risk of mana running wild if done wrong.
‘Even if taking such a risk, the gain I can obtain will not be as large as the old man.’
No matter how Jin-su deforms mana into a heavy and hard nature, he cannot follow the defense power Cheon Mu-seong is currently showing.
‘That is not a level of defense power that can be obtained by doing mana control.’
It was a level of defense power possible only because the effect of a skill receiving the system’s correction is activating.
‘Good. Very good.’
Honestly speaking, the swordsmanship and shield art Cheon Mu-seong is currently unfolding felt more threatening and higher level than the level 2,222 Turtle Shell Sword Art.
‘Since losing in level power, the power itself will be weak.’
However, Cheon Mu-seong’s new martial art that seems to have the strong attack power of a dealer while maintaining the hardness of a tanker through free attack and defense conversion was truly amazing.
‘Although one will be able to be certain if a bit more time passes.’
Once until now, it looked like a great success.
If Cheon Mu-seong’s new martial art perfectly grows like now?
‘Perhaps one can see the birth of a real proper dealer tanker.’
A smile filled with expectations bloomed on Jin-su’s lips.
