chapter 62
62 – One of Thousands – Placement Test (3)
Since being given the unique skill [Master of the Sword], Eugene has put a lot of thought into how to best use this skill.
This is because, in his opinion, the skill [Master of the Sword] Was a skill with many ambiguous aspects.
[Master of the Sword]
Description: A unique skill given to someone who overcomes all unreasonable fates with just one sword and ultimately cuts down the god of another world.
It temporarily perfectly embodies a sword that the user has a connection with, has experience using, or fully understands.
Additionally, it becomes possible to reproduce all techniques within the category of ‘sword’.
For the Absolute who destroyed all things with a single sword, there is no such thing as impossible.
The person who has reached the pinnacle of sword skills is the sword master.
‘What kind of bullshit is this?’
Let’s leave aside the phrase that it is possible to reproduce all techniques within the category of ‘sword’.
But what does it mean to be able to materialize a sword that one is destined to or fully understands?
What is the reason that the Holy Sword Omega, which he used in Nightfall, can be perfectly realized while the holy sword Altina, the sword he wielded in another world for 20 years, cannot be realized?
After conducting all kinds of experiments over two full days, Eugene was able to get a clear answer to that question.
‘Right. Did the degree of realization of the sword vary depending on whether I could fully understand and image the sword?’
In the case of Holy Sword Omega, Thousand’s system has read Nightfall’s save data once, so it can be perfectly implemented without special concentration.
However, in order to realize the sword that Eugene wielded in this world, he had to draw a perfect ‘blueprint’ in his head from 1 to 10.
This is why it was natural that Eugene could not materialize the Holy Sword Altina.
The Holy Sword Altina was not made by human hands, but is a divine weapon given to this earth by the Heavenly God as a sign of love for humans.
Therefore, the holy sword Altina could be said to be, in the true sense, an object that far surpasses human understanding.
Even Eugene, who had wielded the holy sword for 20 years, could not understand what kind of sword Altina was, so it would be impossible to perfectly draw the sword’s blueprint in his head.
Honestly, if you look at it up to this point, [Master of the Sword] Can’t help but be a very cumbersome ability.
Being able to embody the sword you imagined was a powerful ability in itself, but at the same time, there were several really difficult conditions to perfectly embody that sword.
But even for a moment, Eugene realized that there was no need to use this ability only in that way.
‘I guess implementing a sword with imperfect performance isn’t that bad?’
For example, Mogley, the great sword used by Atram, the King of the Four Heavenly Kings, was one of the highest-class weapons with all kinds of special abilities such as [Increased strength], [Space cutting], And [Slash amplification] ] ].
Naturally, there was no way Eugene could have drawn Mowglei’s ‘blueprint’ in his head.
Because he was a warrior, not a blacksmith.
However, at the same time, Eugene had the experience of killing Atram, taking Mowglai, and swinging the sword several times on the battlefield.
Therefore, even if I didn’t know anything else, I was confident that I could perfectly imagine the appearance, material, and size of the Mowgli.
The Mogley that Eugene only embodied on the outside was nothing more than something empty on the inside, like a theater prop, but at the same time, that alone was enough.
Even though it does not have special abilities such as [Space Cut] Or [Slash Amplification], It was able to produce destructive power comparable to that of a considerable anti-magic spell by dropping an extremely large sword vertically from the air.
– Kya kkkk
– Somajwa also believed in it haha
-Isn’t that Somajwa’s unique skill? What kind of ability does it have to make it so big? LOL
– I think it’s an ability to embody a sword, but I never imagined that such an ignorant super-large sword would be dropped from the air, haha
– Rod of God ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
“… Could it be that it is a unique skill of the Implementation series?”
“I think it’s a unique skill of the type that summons weapons… Still, it’s hard to find someone who can summon a weapon of this size, even in professional games.”
“However, the unique skills of the type that implements the weapon have difficult restrictions or have extremely long cooldowns. “If we keep pushing Soma without giving him time to rest, we will eventually win.”
After looking at Moglai in confusion for a moment, the users soon regained their composition and began to calmly analyze Eugene’s unique skills.
As these users are at a fairly high tier, they quickly came up with a way to counter Eugene’s unique skill his, even though it was quite crude.
“This has already been ruined. Surely you won’t end up being attacked by those types of robbers if you continue like this?”
When Yuria, who was sitting on his shoulder, giggled and said that, Eugene sighed and ended up laughing.
“No way. “This one hasn’t even started yet.”
[Master of the Sword – Embodiment]
[Holy Sword Omega]
While Eugene was swinging at Omega after embodying it, the 40 or so players remaining on the field were all gathered here and surrounding Eugene.
“Just in case, let’s keep a gap between each other! Because that great sword might be dropped from the air once again!”
“Melee martial artists, please take charge of the vanguard! “If you have long-range unique skills, stay as far away from Soma as possible!”
“I just gave out a buff, but if there are any warriors who didn’t receive it, please raise your hand!”
– Are they preparing for a raid right now? It’s so funny haha
– Haha, this is treating Somajwa as a boss monster haha
– It’s true that it’s a boss monster haha. Have you guys already forgotten the existence of the Demon King?
– Seeing as I just killed 10 people with one skill, I guess it’s a boss monster level ㅇㅇ
Meanwhile, Eugene was looking at the 40 users surrounding him with a nonchalant expression.
Falter.
And every time Eugene turned his gaze towards them, the users ended up shrinking without even realizing it.
There are as many as 40 people on this side, whereas there is only one on that side.
But even so, about 40 people were overwhelmed by just one person.
-They’re so scared right now. Look at them faltering and not being able to attack properly.
– I was expecting a bit of diary discussion of 49 people in one, but this is a bit disappointing… To think that the 49 people on the opposing side were actually a shelter for super cowards;;
“Yes, I guess that’s why I’m giving them time like this. “I’ve given you this much time, so this time you’ll be able to do better than before.”
Eugene whispered that in a low voice and began to slowly move forward.
“Then, let’s check what level of skills our seniors have.”
And the answer came from not far away.
Soak-!
A single ray of air that shoots quickly into the air.
And the arrow fired into the sky soon splits into a thousand arrows and begins to rain down on Eugene.
[Gwancheon – Thousand Rain Flowers]
It is a skill with a different level of power than the skills that were poured at him earlier!
Also, starting with him, all kinds of skills start pouring in on Eugene from all directions.
[Non-flame explosion]
Countless fireballs begin to rain down on Eugene.
[Thunderstorm]
Like living snakes, several strands of lightning begin to wriggle towards Eugene.
[Donggyeoljin (凍結陣)]
A hexagonal ice crystal is created around Eugene, and soon completely restricts his movements.
The wizard-type users ended up taking out the unique skills they had been cherishing until the end.
“Now! Attack!”
And perhaps seeing Eugene’s temporary suspension of movement as an opportunity, the melee warriors begin charging towards him.
No matter how Eugene is, if he gets hit by all the unique skills of 40 people, he will have no choice but to die!
But.
“Wow, is this really a crisis already?”
“It can’t be.”
Yujin shrugged his shoulders at Yuria’s words and flicked his finger in the air.
[Master of the Sword – Embodiment]
[Unnecessary Sword Caius]
Tadadadang-!
“… !”
At that moment, a sword suddenly appeared in front of Eugene and blocked all the barrage of arrows coming towards him.
“Oh, you’re using the sword as a shield this time?”
“There is no rule that says you must use a sword to swing at an opponent.”
Suddenly-!
While saying that, Eugene swings Omega, and the fireball that was attacking him splits in half and disappears.
Nightfall’s hidden system, the ‘cutting’ effect, was applied.
‘As expected, my guess was correct that by using Omega, Nightfall’s system could be implemented in Thousands.’
With this, Eugene was equipped with one more means to block magic than other users.
“It’s surprising. I never expected that my master would be able to use the ability that is said to embody a sword to this extent. By any chance, are there any other ways to use this ability?”
Yuria asks Eugene a question in her excited voice.
“Another way to use it?”
“So, is there anything else other than dropping the great sword from the air for orbital bombardment or using it as a shield?”
“Yes, of course there is.”
In response to Yuria’s question, Eugene grins and pulls out an unnecessary sword, then throws it.
Not towards the direction where the users are, but towards the direction where the bankruptcy sword is stuck.
Kwaang-!
Because he threw with intention, Eugene’s boasted considerable power even though he did not use any techniques.
So roughly, the sword that was stuck in the ground tilted to the point where it fell towards the users.
Guuuuu-
“Damage!”
“Fly your body outside the sword’s area! Judging by the speed at which it tilts, it’s quite possible!”
Kwaang-!
The sword’s tilt speed was too slow, and the users were also nervous, so there were no casualties.
But for Eugene, that was enough.
Because while the users were panicking, he was already ‘prepared’.
[Master of the Sword – Embodiment]
[Dawn Sword Frey]
Before Eugene’s eyes, a sword reminiscent of a sharp spear materializes.
And Eugene swings his fist and strikes the sword without a moment of hesitation!
Yam Sword (斬魔劍)
Bombardier
Thump-!
The Dawn Sword flew like a cannon and hit the heart of the archer who had just showered Eugene with arrows.
“Kaak!”
Of course, the archer whose heart was pierced by the Dawn Sword died!
And towards Yuria, who was looking at her with her extremely absurd eyes, Eugene could only shrug her shoulders.
“Is there a way to snipe someone with a sword like this?”
“…”
And Yuria made a firm promise that she would never ask Eugene this question again.
