chapter 332 - A sense of revival
1.
The invincible Silent Swordsman has lost her arm.
This unbelievable news hit every community like a thunderclap.
-"Did blood come out of the Silent Swordsman's body??"
-"Her arm got cut off??"
-"The human who survived a nuclear explosion??"
-"Is that even possible??"
-"Who did it?? How??"
-"?????"
It was almost more shocking that people were surprised the Silent Swordsman was human.
-"The severed arm didn’t regenerate on its own??"
-"The arm didn’t melt away and summon a horde of monsters??"
-"She didn’t suddenly grow into a giant and transform into a final boss??"
-"Her eyes didn’t shine, and she didn’t transform into an apocalyptic form???" -"Lol"
-"What the hell do they think the Silent Swordsman is?"
-"A demon king? A giant? A dragon? What’s going on?"
Isn’t the Silent Swordsman not even human?
People who were half-joking about their surprise.
Her skills were so outstanding that such thoughts were understandable.
-"Even if you combine all the budgets the Silent Swordsman destroyed in Gladiator Training, it’s still less than the national budget of Daehan Cheolguk for five years."
-"Even after mobilizing the entire national budget for five years, she beheaded the Demon King’s right hand???" -"Who did it? Was there some kind of Demon King Swordsman?"
-"Crocodile General."
-"Ah."
-"What’s a Crocodile General got to do with it?"
-"Well, if it’s the Crocodile General, I guess it’s possible."
The evaluation of the Crocodile General was so high that even the defeat of the Silent Swordsman was accepted!
For those who didn’t know about Ban-Yo-Gok, this assessment was extremely confusing.
-"Who is the Crocodile General? Is he the final boss?"
-"Is he a Demon King Swordsman?"
-"Is he the one who slays giants?"
-"Is he a Dragon Slayer?"
-"No, no, there’s a spear-wielding guy."
Soon, the introduction to the Crocodile General spread across the community for those who didn’t know him.

"For those who don’t know Ban-Yo-Gok, you might be wondering who the legendary Crocodile General is, the hero who appeared like a comet. Today, let’s learn about the Crocodile General.
If you haven’t played Ban-Yo-Gok yet or are aiming for the human route, don’t worry, you won’t be able to clear it with your skills anyway, so just read on."
① Ban-Yo-Gok’s Ending Structure
First, there are three main routes in Ban-Yo-Gok’s ending.
The White Spirit General, who allies with demons to fight against the tyrant who has plunged the country into ruin – the Demon Route.
The White Spirit General, who believes even the righteous are corrupt and seeks to use the help of the Seer to challenge both the Demon King and the tyrant – the Seer Route.
The tyrant, who teams up with the exiled king to defeat both the White Spirit General and the Great Demon – the Human Route.
The Great Demon’s involvement, such as manipulating humans into instigating battles, can be explained later for clarity.
The final bosses of the three routes are the Tyrant, the White Spirit General, and the Great Demon.
And in all of these routes, there’s a notorious event before the final boss fight: the Five Consecutive Mid-boss Battles!
You fight the five generals of the Great Demon, the Oho Generals, in five consecutive boss battles.
② The Five Consecutive Mid-boss Battles
For those who chose the Demon route with enhanced demon blood and abilities, they won’t even fight these mid-bosses depending on the route.
Instead, they appear as powerful allies to help with the final battle.
But from the Seer route onwards, no matter how well you make your choices,
These characters will eventually reveal their true colors and turn against you.
They are powerful allies in the fields, but by the end, they become formidable enemies with significantly improved stats for the mid-boss battles.
Yes, it’s a trap!
Those who breezed through with the help of these demon bosses will face a brutal difficulty spike in these 5 consecutive battles.
Many players fail here and end up starting again from the beginning with tears.
③ Origin
Seahorse General.
Silkworm General.
Kama Itachi General.
Extreme Bear General.
Crocodile General.
The Seahorse is a water demon with the upper body of a horse, known as a Kelpie.
The Silkworm General is a chimera demon that is also referred to as the "Silkworm."
Kama Itachi is a weasel-shaped demon known for its scythe-like claws.
While the origins of these demons are known, the Extreme Bear General and the Crocodile General’s origins are a mystery.
They are not demons born from a specific bloodline but are self-made, having gained strength through their own achievements.
This means they are of a higher rank compared to others among the Oho Generals.
④ Why is it so difficult?
So how strong is the Crocodile General?
Many of you may ask.
Let me explain briefly.
The Five Consecutive Mid-boss Battles don’t allow saving in between.
You have to defeat all five in a row.
And the enemies only get stronger as you go.
If you delay the battle by using cooldowns, they unleash their ultimate abilities, just like a final boss.
You need to use all the power and techniques you’ve gathered so far strategically.
If you hold back, you won’t even make it past the first few bosses.
The Crocodile General is the strongest of these mid-bosses.
You should get the idea by now, right?
Yes, he’s the worst.
Unlike the other demons who follow a pattern of moves, the Crocodile General has traps embedded within those patterns.
At certain times, what you think is a regular move turns out to be a spear attack.
He’s a real nightmare.
So, there’s no strategy for him.
You just have to throw everything you’ve got and pray that you can defeat him.
⑤ Difficulty Difference
But the Crocodile General faced by the Silent Swordsman was the highest difficulty.
You might wonder, what’s the big deal?
But this highest difficulty is different from the highest difficulty we know.
We’ve always thought the Speed Master route was the hardest, but the Silent Swordsman, right from the start, has been uncovering hidden routes and creating even higher difficulties.
Even Speed Slash, the Speed Master’s signature move, was no match for the Silent Swordsman’s basic attack speed.
Of course, the Speed Master can cut through at hyper-speed with his Speed Slash, but you can tell from the Silent Swordsman’s sword skills that a basic attack is nothing to her.
The highest difficulty in streaming playthroughs is already an unbreakable wall for Speed Masters, but this Silent Swordsman monster was able to block even their most serious attacks.
In fact, Slow Motion analysis showed that even the Hyper-Speed Slash could be blocked by the Crocodile General on the Silent Swordsman’s level.
The Silent Swordsman is so strong that even the Speed Master’s hardest attacks are blocked.
But here’s the real question:
Why couldn’t the Crocodile General kill the Silent Swordsman’s arm?
I wanted to know too.
But there was a problem.
(Explosion of light in the eyes)
Yes, I can’t see.
I don’t know why light was coming from the sword and spear, but it’s impossible to analyze something you can’t even see.
⑥ Conclusion
The Crocodile General, the strongest of all mid-bosses, managed to cut off the Silent Swordsman’s arm, but that was his limit.
He wasn’t strong enough to strike her neck.
The Silent Swordsman, who had defeated the Great Demon’s avatar, was defeated by the Crocodile General.
Maybe there was some unforeseen factor or she let her guard down.
I doubt she’ll make the same mistake again.
Humanity may have lost its first and last chance to take the Silent Swordsman’s life.
In front of her wrath, how long can Ban-Yo-Gok endure?
Will the Great Demon be able to avenge the innocent citizen, Armchair Analysis Expert, whose land turned into barren wasteland overnight in Gladiator Training?
That’s all.

What a biased analysis lol
You can’t ignore the real estate vendetta lol
So, does that mean the Silent Swordsman is stronger than Speed Master?
Guess we’ll have to fight to find out.
The Crocodile General has become the ultimate battle power meter…
Who uses something like that to measure battle power?
So, how many times stronger is the Silent Swordsman than the Crocodile General?
Let’s call it 10 times stronger just for fun.
Usually, losing an arm makes you really weak, so why doesn’t it seem like the Silent Swordsman will get weaker?
So, what happens after she lost her arm?
She lost her right arm.
For a swordsman, it’s a loss equivalent to death!
"The Crocodile General made a chance by trading his life."
"Don’t waste the Crocodile General’s sacrifice!!"

The Silent Swordsman, weaker than ever before.
The enemy’s forces coming to kill her, and her own forces rushing to protect her!
In the midst of this confusion, Ha Eung Eung had a strange feeling.
It hurt.
The pain of losing her arm was no ordinary pain.
But more than that, her senses were heightened.
The broken balance.
The one-armed swordsman.
All that dissonance and loss spoke to her.
‘It feels more familiar when my arm is gone than when it was there. I’ve developed a terrible habit.’
Back in her Murim Memoirs days, the sensation of the Left-Hand Sword completely returned.
