“Amazing.”
The fangs of the Blood Rang definitely reached the hero’s neck.
However, even with the attack containing all of Seun’s power, it could not pierce the hero’s body.
sword. No, it was because the sword was blocked in the hero’s shivering fist.
Blocking the sword with bare hands No matter how much he used martial arts, it would be impossible without excellent reflexes and precise reactions.
pass-
As the name suggests, the broken sword that endured the unmanageable force turned into powder and shattered.
Because it was a blow that contained everything, Sewoon’s body was full of gaps now that even the sword had disappeared.
Even if the hero retrieved the sword right away, Sewoon would be split in two without even reacting.
However, the hero did not.
“It’s amazing. Were you hiding your power? I didn’t see any trace of learning Yugeom.”
It is natural for him to have doubts.
As he said, Sewoon had never learned to use the sword. He only learned the trick through the ‘Taegeuk Sword’ he took out after opening Mamon’s treasure house.
If someone who did not know the power of greed saw it, they would only see it as ‘hidden its power’.
“What’s more surprising is the next attack. You were looking two moves ahead. Such an attack would be impossible unless you go through a lot of experience.”
Sewoon did not bother to answer his words.
I had no intention of telling the truth about using Kronos’ hourglass.
It wasn’t until his mouth stopped, as if he was having fun, that Seun’s mouth opened.
“How is the test going?”
“Of course, I passed. If you have this level of potential, at least you won’t go anywhere with your sword stolen.”
The hero chuckled and made his way towards the common pillar.
Sewoon’s eyes, which were following him, twinkled strangely. It was because the hilt of the sword inserted into the pillar was stained gold.
“Take a look.”
– The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ tries to predict the identity of the sword by retracing his memory.
The taciturn Mamon responded.
Even if that wasn’t the case, Sewoon could feel that the state of the sword had completely changed as soon as he saw the hilt.
Perhaps, this is the reward of ‘The Forgotten Hero’s Ascetic’.
It must be the power that the remnants of a forgotten hero kept to pass on to those who pass their test.
chuck.
Sewoon squeezed the hilt of the sword.
I tried to pull out the sword right away, but I couldn’t. It was because Sewoon’s power was leaking into the sword through the hilt.
Dantian’s power, Circle’s mana. Everything, even the vitality of muscle fibers.
As I was about to release my sword in surprise, I heard the voice of a forgotten hero.
“Hold on. It is the process by which the sword recognizes its owner.”
It is a sword that recognizes its owner.
Most of the swords with such power in the tower had excellent abilities.
Even if you can’t do it, it’s A grade or higher.
If you had an A-class weapon in the tutorial stage, you could draw your future plans much easier and faster.
Kwak!
Sewoon gritted his teeth and tightened his grip.
Even when the dantian was empty, the rotation of the circle stopped, and the strength in the muscles drained, he endured with evil.
evil. It was the most confident strength for Seun, who reached the 92nd floor of the tower with only one unique skill called ‘guideline of the journey’ without any proper offensive ability.
He bit his teeth so tightly that red blood gushed from his gums.
Arms and legs tremble. Following vitality, mental strength is also being taken away, along with dizzying headaches, blurring the eyes.
Deuk!
The hilt, which had been heavy as if it had become one body with the pillar, began to move little by little.
Following the golden hilt, a blue-edged blade appeared.
Just a short time ago, the old and rusty look seemed like a lie.
“You seem to be lacking in strength yet, but you will soon be able to overcome the limits of your strength.”
Into my distant mind, I hear the voice of a forgotten hero.
I couldn’t see it because I was concentrating on the sword in my hand, but somehow I could hear a small laugh.
“Please, show me a higher place.”
Susut-
The form of the forgotten hero melted away like crumbling.
The common mana that made up the form permeates toward the sword.
That moment.
Chaeeng!
Finally, the sword fell off the pillar, revealing its splendid body.
The golden hilt was engraved with a luxurious pattern that was as sacred as it was sacred, and the sword was sharp enough to cut even the approaching air.
– Completely attacked the Hidden Dungeon, ‘The Forgotten Hero’s Training Center’.
– The level has risen.
– Achieved a historic achievement.
– As a reward, your personal achievement will increase by 20,000 points.
-Obtained the forgotten hero’s sword, ‘Durandal, the sword that split the rock’.
-The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ stands up from its seat.
Sewoon collapsed on the spot, looking at Durandal, the shiny sword.

[Tutorial Chapter 1 – Adaptation]
– The sixth wave begins.
– Defend the monster wave and prove your existence.
Sewoon climbed the rocky mountain, but the monster wave did not wait for him. At the appointed time, monsters came to the camp again this time.
Gray monkeys protruding from the direction of the rocky mountain. Not only were they taller and bigger than the ‘Brown Monkey’, but they also had quite decent weapons in their hands.
The eyes of the people watching the monkey deepened even more.
“Everyone, keep your formation! Formation and weapons are superior to us! There is nothing to be afraid of!”
Yoo Seo-ah skillfully instructed people.
It was only the first time that it was difficult, but as the situation was repeated, her leadership skills were gradually improving.
sigh-
Apart from the formation of the people, Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Kang-cheol stabbed the monkeys left and right.
Yoo Seo-ah’s sword became a gust of wind and swept the monkeys, and Kang Kang-cheol’s fist crushed them.
It was as if he was seeing Seun, who always dealt with monsters separately.
“Rooky!”
“Kikki!”
Even without Seun’s help, Camp was dealing with Wave brilliantly.
Compared to the trembling she had when she first arrived in this world, it was a huge step forward.
When most of the monsters were sorted out, Yoo Seo-ah, who approached Kang Han-cheol, opened her mouth with an anxious expression.
“Sewoon hasn’t come back yet. Could something have happened?”
“… … .”
Sewoon Jeong.
A man who always looked at the camp with indifferent eyes and spoke cold words as if his emotions had dried up.
However, without him, the camp would have already collapsed miserably.
Besides, if it wasn’t for him, Yoo Seo-ah wouldn’t have come to his senses yet.
Because he knew that fact himself, Yoo Seo-ah’s worries grew even more.
“I can’t. I need to go find Se-eun. Would you like to come with me when this wave is over?”
“done.”
“… … Aren’t you worried too? Without Sewoon, we would already be… … .”
“As we worry, he’s not weak.”
Kang Han-cheol responded by roughly swinging a monkey.
A scion of hell who rules the East, his power, blessed by Agares, was already beyond human level.
“but… … .”
Despite Kang Kang-cheol’s answer, Yoo Seo-ah couldn’t hide her anxiety.
What if Jeong Sewoon doesn’t appear like this? We safely blocked this wave, but can we block the next wave as well?
If, as in the fourth wave, the three types of monsters get stronger each turn, will they be able to stop the seventh wave?
Anxiety like that filled my head.
Kang Han-cheol glanced down at her and pointed at the air with a small sigh.
“Look up.”
“… … up?”
suddenly look up
I looked up to see what it was saying, and the system messages related to the waves that always popped up in my mind.
Among them, what Kang Han-cheol pointed out was the personal public value ranking.
It is said that the cleanup is coming to an end, but since the wave was not completely over yet, there would have been no change.
While questioning, she was able to quickly discover a single point of change.
“Sewoon’s score is… … !”
[ 1st place: Jeong Sewoon 28,660 points ]
[ 2nd place: Yoo Seo-ah 1,680 points ]
[ 3rd place: Kang Kang Cheol 1,600 points ]
Twenty-eight thousand six hundred and sixty.
In the first place, Sewoon’s score was so high that they couldn’t surpass it, but even so, it wasn’t this high.
The last thing Seo-ah Yoo remembered about Sewoon’s achievements was about 7,000 points. In other words, while they were making waves, their public value suddenly jumped nearly four times.
that means that.
“He must be doing something we can’t even imagine somewhere.”
Kang Han-cheol said with an indifferent expression.
However, in his hard face, a strange fighting spirit was burning, whether it was competition or jealousy.
“So we just have to focus on maximizing our strength while blocking the wave until he arrives.”
“… … yes!”
Quaang!!
Kang Han-cheol threw the breathless monkey like a cannon ball, and the formation of the monkeys, who had been wielding their weapons for the last fight, collapsed.
* * *
“Keugh… … .”
As soon as Seun opened his eyes, he felt excruciating pain.
An empty stomach. It was not hunger, but hunger for mana.
He also had to put all his mana, energy, and vitality into the sword in order to obtain the final reward of the dungeon.
While he was unconscious, he regained at least some energy, but his Danjeon and Circle were still empty.
I wanted to check the sword right away, but the first priority was to recover my body.
Ugh!
The muscles that exerted all their strength refused to move, but there is a limit to recovery even if you lie down like this.
Sewoon raised his body, sat cross-legged, and took a slow breath.
Unlike the circle, which focuses on the external action, the priority was to fill the dantian, which has a strong power to control the energy inside.
According to Samjae-gong’s trick, the energy around him began to be absorbed by Sewoon.
however.
Ugh!
Whoops!
The amount of energy absorbed was unusual.
Among all the existing simbeop, he is using Samjae Gong, which is said to have the slowest speed of accumulating internal energy, but the speed at which internal energy is absorbed is 5 times that of camp. No, it was close to 10 times.
“What is this… … .”
Danjeon’s internal energy rapidly filled, and as soon as he recovered a little, Seun-i looked around.
And I was able to grasp the center of this situation.
center of the column.
From the spot where Durandal had been lodged, a thick aura emanated from it.
“… … Is it a dragon vein?”
dragon vein.
In feng shui theory, it refers to a mountain range through which the energy of a mountain flows, or a place where that energy gathers.
In the tower, this meaning is commonly used as the meaning of ‘mana’, not ‘spirit’.
And this place was also known as the best place to practice Danjeon and Circle.
Ssik-
A smile appeared on Seun’s face.
Just obtaining the legendary sword, Durandal, had yielded more than expected, but it seems that this is the end of the hidden dungeon’s rewards.
– Opened the treasure house of greed.
[ Far Geukgong (破極心功) ]
– A secret method passed down from generation to generation in the mage. As it is Marka’s vision, it is extremely difficult to master it, and it is known that very few people have mastered it even in Marka.
Whoa!
The energy around Seun started to blow like a strong wind.
