I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling

133 – Berserk

Bang!

A dry and desolate field with countless and diverse old weapons stuck in the ground like tombstones, the A-level dungeon ‘Land of Endless Struggle.’

To be precise, inside the virtual training ground that recreated that space, loud explosions that shook the ground rang out over and over again.

Haha! You are now very skillful at using the magic you took from me!”

“Thanks to you, I find it useful on a daily basis!”

A conversation between an old man and a young man.

It was a conversation in a harmonious atmosphere, as if it were part of everyday life…

Bang bang bang!

The two were already swinging their great swords at each other without hesitation, with such vicious power that an ordinary person’s body would explode with just a passing glance.

Continuing collisions and sword strikes whose power gradually increases in proportion to them.

It was the old warrior who first broke the balance of the destructive relay that continued until one side reached its limit.

“But you’re still immature!”

Cassimes twists his body slightly and swings his greatsword late on purpose.

“Ugh!?”

Huh-!

At the wrong time, Lee Seon-woo’s great sword split the air.

Cassimes’ great sword caught the gap and swung wildly.

“Ugh!”

Pudduk-!

Seon-Woo Lee used too much force to strain his arm and forcibly retrieved the great sword. He immediately jumped back and at the same time covered his body with his great sword and concentrated [Hyunghwa].

Kwaaang-!!!

Immediately after that, Cassimes’ powerful blow landed on the great sword. Lee Seon-woo was blown away dozens of meters with a large sword.

Lee Seon-woo flies away like a kite carried by the wind.

Cassimes’ chase continued toward him.

“Take this as a bonus! [Full Moon Wheel]!”

A great sword that is thrown with the enormous power amplified by Mujongwon Cham.

Kagagaga River!

The steel disk flew horizontally with the ground, cutting off all the old weapons that became obstacles.

‘… That’s dangerous!’

Lee Seon-woo, seeing that, distorted his expression

This is because he figured out that the disc was aiming for the exact moment he landed, a very difficult moment to deal with.

Now that the magic hand is banned. It was almost impossible to block the veteran’s expert pursuit without taking any damage.

Interception is not possible. Avoidance is also impossible. Defense is maximum expected damage. Approximately 1 second to contact.

‘Then… !’

Seonwoo Lee implemented the idea that flashed in his mind at that moment.

Kwakagak!

He turned his body upside down and at the same time plunged the great sword he was holding vertically into the ground, using the great sword as support to hold his body in the air for a very brief moment.

Kak-!

Immediately after, the steel disk flew away, cutting the great sword.

When the support disappeared, Seonwoo Lee, who was about to fall due to gravity again, used the elasticity of his entire body’s muscles to rotate in the air.

Kang-!

Whirring!

He kicked the half-cut sword body that floated before his eyes and fired it at Kasimes. He then threw the half-cut greatsword in his hand, dissipating his remaining strength and landing stably.

He immediately pulled out a nearby spear and sprinted after the thrown greatsword like a single bullet.

“Your movements are like those of a flying squirrel!”

Kang! Kang!

Cassimes quickly pulls out an old greatsword stuck in the ground and strikes away the thrown greatsword.

And then a gap was revealed, no, a gap that wasn’t even half of that.

Lee Seon-woo, who had already come close to us, sent out a series of flash-like attacks as if he was trying to open the gap.

“Huh-eup!”

A fierce storm of spear strikes aimed at bleeding all over the body in an instant.

It was clearly a spear technique of mastery, one step closer to mastery.

“Wow! It’s still a poisonous spear technique! No one will believe that this is a spear technique learned in just ‘one day’!”

“That’s right! Just on the first day! A total of ’86 times’! To the point of death! In a Spartan manner! Except for the fact that I learned it! That’s right!”

“You b*stard! I told you not to go that far! Didn’t you keep attacking me!”

“Didn’t the professor tell you to never stop and attack until your body stops moving!?”

“I thought you would stop after dying about 10 times! I also didn’t know that you would attack me until the real training session was over! Even if you died virtually, the aftereffects would be severe, so you continued to attack me without stopping until the end of the training session… You, head Didn’t a few screws fly off?!”

“… I will definitely kill you!”

“Who?! Chang’s murderousness becomes even more intense here!?”

Kagagagagagang-!!!

Professor Casimes steps back and hurriedly strikes a spear strike.

Lee Seon-woo also continued to move forward and did not stop attacking in order not to lose this advantage.

When about 10 seconds of such intense battle had passed.

──Pajik

“What… !?”

“… !”

Incontinence ran through Casimes’ great sword.

Cassimes’ eyes widen, and Lee Seon-woo’s eyes shine as a secretly installed move is activated.

Lee Seon-woo’s spear strike, which seemed to attack Casimes’ entire body, was actually aimed at destroying Casimes’ weapon.

The damage accumulated by the spear strike, which secretly and persistently struck one point of the weapon, finally brought the durability of Casimes’ weapon to a state on the verge of destruction.

“Haaa!!!”

The moment when the fired thrust with all his might crushes the long sword that has reached its limit and cuts out Cassimes’ heart beyond the long sword.

─Chorrrr rrrr

A strange sound was heard in Lee Seon-woo’s ears.

A slight weight and sense of restraint added to the window.

Thing!

“Ugh… !?”

And more than anything, Lee Seon-woo sensed an alarm, so even though it was a golden opportunity, he put down his spear and jumped back without hesitation…

Evil-

A sharp piece of the blade narrowly grazed Lee Seon-woo’s fingertips.

“Hou, you still have good sense. I was planning to take an arm, or even a wrist.”

It fluttered regretfully, like the tongue of a living snake, and then grabbed his body, shattered the spear into small pieces, and returned to its owner’s grasp his.

“Plain clothes sword… Before you know it…”

“What, I secretly kept it when you were backing away earlier in order to stab you at the moment when you gained victory and attacked.”

“Did you notice it from the beginning…”

“Haha, don’t be disappointed. It was so secretive that most people wouldn’t notice at all. However, it just didn’t work on me at all.”

So, did you act like you were surprised? He looks like this snarky old man…

“Anyway, it’s a bit faster than expected, but it seems like I’ve mastered martial arts to the required level… Let’s move on to the ‘last step’ of the cure-all method. ──System, apply special gimmick number 2.”

Professor Casimes gave an order to the system (Dark Spirit) that manages the virtual training center.

A special gimmick is a special rule that a user can add to the virtual training ground in advance, and is like a ‘mode’ of the game.

The first gimmick currently being applied inside the training center is ‘unification of body stats’

In other words, the rule that makes my current physical abilities and Professor Casimes completely identical without any difference.

And the second special gimmick that was decided in advance…

-Special gimmick number 2. ‘5 second limit on weapon possession’ and ‘random change of weapon possession’ are applied.

As the emotionless system voice rang out, something heavy was held in my hand.

It is a 2 meter long giant ax spear (halberd) made entirely of iron.

Before I knew it, Professor Casimes was also rushing this way, swinging a huge scimitar instead of a plain sword.

Whoa!

In response to the scimitar falling like a thunderbolt with a thuggish force as if it was going to cut me in two at once, I rotated my body once in place and greeted it with a halberd that added as much centrifugal force as possible.

Quang-!

A shock so strong that it made my hands go numb. Gritting his teeth, he swung the halberd again, struck away the scimitar, and was about to slash at the defenseless upper body.

“Ugh… !?”

A feeling of weight suddenly disappearing from the hand

The heavy halberd changes into a small hatchet, causing the body to momentarily lose balance.

A momentary loophole revealed by the rule of forcibly replacing weapons at random every 5 seconds.

Professor Casimes’ rapier quickly pierced the gap.

Kang-!

“Slow response when changing weapons!”

“Wow… !”

He managed to block the rapier aimed at his lungs with the back of his [Hardened] Hand and jumped back to adjust his stance, but as if he was determined not to lose the advantage he had once gained, Cassimes narrowed the distance and was followed by a series of rapiers before he could adjust his posture. I lost.

Kang-Kagak-Kigeek-

Using 〈Golden Sense 〉 to predict the attack trajectory, the ability of [Hardening], And skilled ax skills, he blocks, parries, deflects, and handles it in the nick of time.

At that time, 5 seconds passed and the weapons were swapped.

However, before I could even check the changed weapon, I hurriedly lowered my head in response to the alarm of my senses.

Seokgeuk-

Immediately after, the eerie day of the scythe passes by, cutting off the hair on the back of my head.

If I had hesitated to bow my head just a little, my head and body would have separated.

What just happened was that Professor Cassimes’ rapier that had stabbed the side of my ear was replaced with a scythe, and Professor Cassimes pulled out the scythe without the slightest hesitation and tried to cut off his head.

Even though I obviously didn’t know what the weapon would be replaced with, I was almost impressed by the very natural combo attack, as if it had been planned from the beginning.

And Professor Casimes began to prove absolutely with his actions that it did not happen by chance.

“Even if the user of 〈 〉 has lost his eyes, he can instinctively swing the weapon in his hand in the ‘optimal trajectory’ to achieve ‘maximum performance’! Even if the weapon is just a stick!”

From a sickle to a blunt weapon.

From the window to the bow.

From sword to whip.

From an ax to a dagger.

.

.

.

Casimes’ linked attacks continued as if it didn’t matter at what moment the weapon was replaced or what it was replaced with.

Compared to Professor Casimes’ continuous attacks, each time the weapon was changed, it was less than 0.1 second, but there was a clear delay (the process of identifying the weapon), so I began to see small losses in attack and defense.＜ Br＞

Those tiny losses pile up…

Kaang-!

“Ugh… !?”

Eventually, a fatal gap was created.

A very defenseless posture, with both arms raised above the head as a result of blocking Cassimes’ attack in an unstable position.

A fatal blow was unleashed by Professor Casimes, who could not have missed the opportunity.

“【Defeat Field】”

──Kwoong

Professor Casimes’s one-shot that stays in the exact center of my body.

It instantly destroys [Hardening] That was instantly activated,

Crushing six ribs,

My body was blown over 50 meters.

‘If I hadn’t reflexively jumped back to lessen the impact… He died from this blow…’

Like a water swallow, I bounced on the ground instead of on the surface of the water and rolled around for tens of meters, standing up with my completely exhausted body on trembling legs.

“Wow─”

Soon, thick blood was vomited out along with fragments of the internal organs that had become mush.

The teachings of Kasimes that I heard.

“Don’t think about how to handle the weapon in your hand. That’s like thinking about a baby running when it’s still in its early stages and hasn’t even stood up yet.”

“You have currently learned many types of weapon techniques, but they have not been combined into one. Therefore, the movement is interrupted every time the weapon is changed.”

“Weapon skills are already sufficient. Now all we have to do is melt the senses of using each weapon into one sense.”

“Quiet your reason. Bring out your instincts. What you need now is only instinct. 〈The sense that is the basis of the 〉 method of fighting all diseases can be grasped only by basic instinct, not by clear reason.”

I listened to Professor Casimes’ advice while manipulating the magic thread and administering first aid to broken ribs and half-exploded intestines.

‘… Instinct, instinct…’

As I was wondering how to bring out my instincts, one of the functions written on the status window caught my eye.

〈Gwanghwa LV10〉

Instead of improving your physical abilities, you lose your rationality… In a way, it is a function that is perfect for the current situation.

‘Except for the fact that I don’t lose my sanity at all even when I use 〈 Mineralization LV10〉, thanks to the fact that I have 〈 Bright View Index (A) 〉, which is a mental protection type characteristic.’

I used the physical ability increase buff with no demerit due to the combination of 〈 Myeonggyeong Index (A) 〉 and 〈 Gwanghwa〉, but…

‘It’s so ironic that now we need demerits rather than merits…’

Even if you try to accept Gwanghwa’s disadvantages yourself, Gwanghwa, whose grade is only intermediate, is weighed down by the mere existence of 〈 Myeongkyung Index (A) 〉.

So there is only one action I need to take now.

[Activate 〈Limit Lift〉! (Target: 〈 Madness LV10〉)]

[〈 Madness LV10〉 → 〈 Madness LV10〉]

All we need to do is raise 〈 Gwanghwa 〉 to the next level so as not to be overwhelmed by 〈 Myeonggyeong Index (A) 〉.
