NOVEL NEXT chapter 14
14 – Spear Slayer
sword and spear.
If two weapons fight, which one will win?
Most people predict the victory of the spear.
This is because the spear’s long reach gives it an absolute advantage in street fights against swords.
In reality, when swords and spears fight, nine out of ten spears win.
The difference between weapons.
It is like a wall that cannot be easily overcome.
Only when the skill of the person holding the sword is superior to that of the person holding the spear is it possible to share the sum.
But fortunately, I had the ability to overwhelm Lucy.
-widely! Titic! Empty!
The sound of bursting and friction caused by the clash of wooden swords and spears echoed in my ears.
I catch my breath and open my sweaty eyes.
There is an opponent with a spear in front of you.
-Wheein juice!
With the sound of spears cutting through the wind, slashes rushed in.
Lightly hold the sword with both hands and hit the body of the spear to block the attack.
– Percussion!
A heavy shock is transmitted to both hands with a light sound.
Immediately after receiving a slash, a thrusting attack comes in.
Move your body slightly to the side to avoid it, and at the same time lightly step back to increase the distance.
“Heh-uh… Heh-uh…”
Lucy in front of me exhales heavily.
It seems to be very difficult.
Of course it’s hard for me too.
Unlike my original body, Raiden’s body was a weakling, so he easily got tired of just moving a few times.
The noise that had been roaring around was now loud enough to be heard clearly.
“Is he really Raiden…?”
“Was he good at martial arts…?”
“I haven’t hit even one so far…!”
The students were stunned by my movements.
Even though the training time was close to 10 minutes, I didn’t even allow a single attack.
I slightly frowned.
Are you all serious?
Are you just surprised by this?
His body is tired, so his breathing is disturbed and his posture is messed up.
Each time the staff stepped on it, the traces of repulsion shifted and their strength weakened.
If my father had seen this sparring now, he would have f*cking beaten me in the name of teaching.
“Heo-eok… the hell you… how…?”
Lucy murmured.
what how
Before you attack, he tells you where to attack with his gaze, but if you can’t avoid it, that’s an idiot.
I grabbed my sword again and looked at my watch.
12 minutes 49 seconds.
It was almost 15 minutes since the Dalian started.
‘I have to finish it now.’
I stepped on the staff thinking so.
Lucy brandished a spear as I rushed in and threw a checker blow.
I continued the attack with a slight turn of my head or a slight push with my sword.
Originally, it wouldn’t have been so aggressive.
What I’m playing right now is an extreme run-and-gun game that focuses on close evasion and quick attacks while throwing away all defense.
Under normal circumstances, you should hit the right counter here and get out.
But not now.
Lucy’s attack is clearly visible.
It was a move inferior to the spear master I was accustomed to dealing with 1v5.
Quickly roll your eyes to anticipate an incoming attack and twist your body to avoid it.
At the same time, find an opening and insert an attack.
A skill in which evasion and attack are performed in an instant.
It was made up of an overwhelming difference in skill between the opponent and me.
-widely!
Finding Lucy’s gap, I kicked the ground hard.
Lucy backs away.
I charged quickly, swinging my sword at the staggering woman.
A sword that is swung in a slightly clumsy manner.
– Percussion!
Lucy managed to block the attack with the body of the spear just before my sword touched her head.
– I would have thought.
– Bahak!
My low kick went neatly into the lower part of her, who had been stripped of her defense to protect her head.
“Keuheugh…!!”
Lucy staggered and fell to her knees.
The reason why his posture was clumsy was because he was preparing for the low kick.
I swung my foot once more and kicked the spear she was holding.
-widely! Tak, Degur…
A window that tumbles out of nowhere.
I pointed my sword at the fallen woman.
The tip of the sword was soft enough to touch the bridge of her nose.
“……”
I looked down at her impassively.
She gritted her teeth and glared at me.
The shining blue eyes were filled with hatred for me.
Why does everyone hate me so much…
I bit my lip and suppressed the growing irritation.
While the situation continued for a while, Professor Lauren, who was watching the Dalian, opened his mouth.
“Are you going to kill me?”
I slightly turned my head to look at him.
A look of bewilderment is evident.
Perhaps during the sparring, he heard the bread of life I spoke about.
I frowned at him for a moment, then threw the knife I was holding onto the floor.
“I’m not dying.”
I had rejected the princess’ request for a duel.
The life-bread proposal I had made earlier was just something I had said.
He hadn’t even thrown the glove back then, and Lucy hadn’t even responded to the offer.
In a word, it was invalid.
And there…
“I don’t think of arguing with the imperial family by killing the princess. I’m a mess and I’m not a crazy bastard.”
It’s not even a manna anymore.
At my words, Lauren nodded in relief.
“Then it’s fortunate. First of all, it seems that the Dalian is a victory for the Raiden students. Congratulations.”
“yes.”
I replied indifferently.
No matter how victorious it was, the recent sparring was a real mess itself.
Even if I had come when I was 16, I would have done better than this.
Professor Loren said while taking out the notebook he had been writing on during the sparring.
“Then… I’ll give you my impressions and feedback while watching Dalian. Then first… the Raiden students…”
“14 missteps, 3 missed attacks, 9 out of balance, 3 inappropriate attacks. A total of 29 mistakes.”
I said that and stretched out on the spot.
Professor Lauren asked in a dull voice.
“Raiden student…? What are you doing all of a sudden?:
“I made 29 mistakes, so I have to hit the 290… Ah.”
I’m Raiden, not Naru Kim.
Realizing that I had momentarily confused the days when I was Naru Kim and now, I got up again with embarrassment.
“Right, what is that…?”
“It’s nothing. Can I just go inside?”
He answered my question vaguely.
“Uh… that, yes…”
When I heard that, I turned around and returned to my seat.
When you sit down, you can feel the gaze around you.
A whisper is heard all around.
I closed my eyes and ignored the sounds.
-Titling!
Suddenly, a familiar mechanical sound rang out.
When I opened my eyes, a blue window was open.
[Hidden quest accomplished!]
“……?”
Hidden Quest?
I tilted my head and clicked on the window.
[Hidden quest achieved!]
Title: Spear Slayer.
Requirements: Win without taking a single hit against an A-Rank or higher spearman.

“……”
I’m serious?
You said that was an A rank?
Hiding my surprise inside, I pressed the reward button.
-Titling!

what is this
It’s the first time I’ve seen this title.
A title that did not appear in the original [The Hero Loved by Everyone].
15% attack power increase.
It’s a pretty good buff-type title.
In addition, the synergy between the other ‘Slayer’ titles…
‘This means that other weapons also have Slayer hidden quests, right?’
I reasoned like that and flipped through the status window.
While I was stunned at the blue window for a while, I heard the students whispering to each other from behind.
“Look there, there. What is he doing?”
“Beckoning into the air, muttering?”
“What…? Are you crazy?”
“I thought it was quiet somehow, but it seems my head went crazy.”
Holy sh*t.
I turned off the status window and closed my eyes again.
Come to think of it, other people don’t see the status window.
Seeing me interacting with the status bar, most would think I was crazy.
I sighed and held my throbbing head.
‘Damn… When will the happiness the goddess said will come…’
Didn’t Bing do this wrong?
In the first place, this life is a reward.
What is the reward for possessing a body like this…
“sh*t…”
No, let’s wait a little bit.
It hadn’t even been a week since I possessed Raiden’s body.
You just have to adapt to the academy, work hard and wait.
I was so self-indulgent.

Meanwhile, at that time, heaven.
A woman sitting on a large chair.
Graceful gestures and beautiful appearance.
The dim light emanating from her back gave her aura of holiness and holiness.
Her name is the Absolute God, Tinamius.
He was the god of everything, ruling over all worlds.
She stomped her feet and murmured.
“What about this… how about this…”
Usually, a benevolent smile hung over the face of Tinamius, a rare embarrassment and nervousness were engraved.
The reason was because of a boy she possessed into a novel a few days ago.
The child named Naru Kim was a child who lived a very pitiful life.
A child who has never had anything called happiness in his life.
Tinamius wanted to present happiness to him.
That’s why she said
– The next life is a reward given to children like you who have had a very unfortunate life.
– It’s okay to go to another world if you want. what do you want? possession? Rebirth? transition?
But the child cried and shook his head.
-Just… Can I just not live in the next life…?
Those despairing eyes broke Tinamius’s heart.
Tinamius persuaded him.
live a little longer
He promised his happiness.
Eventually the boy nodded.
The goddess possessed him into a novel he enjoyed reading.
By the way-
“How did this happen…”
An error occurred in the process of possessing.
Due to a sudden error, he was possessed as a third-rate extra rather than the main character of the novel.
The goddess’s lips trembled.
It was a system that had not gone wrong for 200 years.
But what a sudden mistake.
That’s when it’s like this.
– Promise me you’ll be happy in my next life
What do you mean by promise?
Tinamius slightly bit his lip.
In my mind, I wanted to bring the child out right away and let her possess it again.
However, it wasn’t something to be taken lightly.
world law.
It is the essence of the world that builds a world.
The goddess had already intervened excessively in the nature of the world while proceeding with his possession.
If she disarmed him or tried to do something against him, the essence of that world would no longer withstand the power of the goddess and would crumble.
“Haa… what do you mean…”
I should have checked it one more time.
It occurred to him that through his carelessness, he had done a disservice to the child.
She reproached herself and lowered her head.
Then he muttered.
“Just wait three months, three months.”
In about three months, the essence of the turbulent world will subside to some extent.
By then, it would be possible to send him a brief contact.
She let out a shallow sigh and muttered words of resentment toward the system that had erred.

And over time,
A month has passed.
