I can see the Emperor's stats-Chapter 165
fish sword
'Urgent Quest!'
The quest indicated by Galeus' words was different from other quests.
Julius thought about that.
'I'm concerned about being called for now. In his words, he expressed it as a calling. If so, did the quests that have appeared so far have some kind of divine intention?'
There were two quests he was currently carrying out.
One was [Dark clouds over the imperial family] It was a quest to investigate the imperial family of the Hwan Empire.
The second [Church of Forgotten Gods] was a quest to deal with the Heimdall Church, which had been scolded to eliminate him from the West Continent.
And what penetrates these two quests is the Demonic Cult!
He came to the East Continent to subdue the Demonic Cult.
'Did you say that the remaining time in the quest is about 100 days? I'm still on the generous side.'
The quest he was given now seemed as if someone was considering his position. Isn't the time allocation too exquisite?
'If it's three months, it's not too late to finish work in the East Continent!'
Julius concluded. Probably, the people who gave the oracle to visit the Holy Land must have given enough time with this in mind.
He turned his gaze back to Galeus. After trembling for a while, he seems to have calmed down before he knew it and straightened his back again.
“So what are you going to do? I still have work to do in the East Continent. Can I go back to the West Continent after finishing it and go to the Holy Land?”
“Everything can be done according to the will of the rookie.”
Galeus bowed his head. He was determined not to weigh in on his decision. Julius' eyes lit up.
“Didn’t you say you received an oracle? What are you going to do if I don't go to Seongguk later?"
“That must also be God's will. We have no right to force newcomers.”
“Hoo… … .”
Julius nodded. Indeed, it was clear that they had absolute trust in the name of a newcomer.
'I don't know if it's flexible or not.'
“So, what are you going to do from now on after delivering the oracle?”
Julius was confident that he would help him.
'I came all the way from that distant kingdom, so of course they must have come to help me.'
“Hwang Gong Hao, newcomer! I must return to the Holy Land.”
"what?"
Julius widened his eyes. Galeus began to explain with a puzzled expression.
“Rookies have to go to Seongguk to be recognized. You can call us after that.”
"her… … .”
Julius burst out laughing. So, it wasn't as a subordinate that helped Lord Jeong Do yesterday?
“I have no face.”
thud!
Galeus knelt again and bowed his head.
“Even a small person wants to help, but the oracles of great people have told us to do so.”
According to him, the oracle given to the three major churches at the same time was this.
[Find the chosen one. And bring him before me.]
So far so good, but the next thing is the problem.
[step! Yet my servants must not serve him.]
“… … .”
Julius was looking at him with a slightly steamed expression.
'No, if you're going to send someone, make sure to help! Those who call themselves gods are so cheesy.'
Looking at the stats of Galeus in front of him, he was incomparably stronger than the unmanned men up to that point. If he helped, things would be a lot easier.
A voice familiar to Julius' ears was heard as he muttered inwardly.
[Tsk! The lucky guy is now impatient to get on the bus.]
I don't know what you mean, but the yellow dragon kept clicking its tongue.
'What is a bus?'
* * *
After a while.
"Then, at least in the East, are you saying it's hard to expect the use of force from you?"
“It is. Please forgive me for not living up to the rookie's expectations... … .”
He was truly sorry for rejecting Julius' request. To him, Julius immediately brings up another story.
“Then what about other kinds of favors?”
“… … !?”
“Of course, this is not a request to defeat the enemy.”
“Just say anything!”
Galeus smiled and raised his head, which had been lowered. As long as it's not prohibited by the oracle, he's ready to pick a star from the sky.
As he waited for an answer, Julius opened his mouth.
“Step 5.”
“Speaking of step 5… … .”
"Isn't teaching me an act as a subordinate?"
Julius' request was to tell him, who had stopped growing, the way to enter the 5th stage.
Although he had grown up recently by acquiring new weapons, his growth as a soldier had stopped after defeating the Archduke.
'First of all, since there is no known way beyond the 4th level, it seems difficult with simple training.'
However, isn't there a 5-level warrior who is only passed down as a legend right in front of him? Julius had to take this opportunity to find a clue to enter the next stage.
After hearing his words, Galeus raised a line of question on his wrinkled face.
"I'm sorry, but I'll say something."
“Tell me.”
“Hasn’t the rookie already risen to that level?”
Galeus' gaze scans him up and down again. Of course, Julius was halfway out of step 4.
“It seems that my realm is not perfect. Would you like to see it?”
Shaak!
"hmm?"
The trail of Julius’ lightly swung sword neatly sliced through a rock about thirty meters away. It was a space cut that was learned through the archduke's secret class.
Almost impossible to defend, this secret seemed omnipotent at first glance, but in fact it was not perfect.
First, it was a question of scope. The range that Julius can have at range is about 30 meters, and the consumption of power is not efficient, so he gets tired quickly.
“At first, I thought it could be solved through training.”
However, it did not seem to be a matter of skill level. No matter how much I practiced, the efficiency of space cutting never improved. Julius had no choice but to come to this conclusion.
'Unfinished, non-level, and unenlightened and learned through learning must be incomplete somewhere.'
“Huh… I understand what the rookie said.”
After hearing this explanation, Galeus nodded and raised his hand.
“The five levels of realization I have realized say this.”
Swoop.
He lightly waved his hand in the air. It was like a child's finger play, but the result of the gesture was surprising.
Puffup!
“… … !?”
The rock that Julius had split just before was suddenly shattered with an impact sound. Without any warning, he broke the rock with a gesture of his hand.
"ah!"
At that moment, Julius remembered Sharnos the Great. It is said that he split even distant mountain peaks with a single sword.
'What Galeus did is only on a smaller scale, but it's similar!'
It may not be possible to recall because of the large difference in scale, but the case was similar when a rock was replaced with a mountain with a hand gesture. that's right!
'The blow he unleashed with his hand did not split space. He jumped through space!'
Realizing that, Julius also found out why cutting space was so costly.
It's because he forcibly increased the range. In fact, it would be enough to clear the target cleanly, but his space cutting cut all the objects caught in the middle. It was no different from swinging a huge 30-meter long sword, but of course it was very costly.
"hmm… … .”
Seeing him nodding his head, Galeus opened his mouth again.
“You seem to understand the principle. He is also a rookie.”
“I will try it.”
With a cautious face, Julius aimed at a small tree a few meters away.
sniff
“… … .”
His sword cut through the air with a feeble movement, but nothing happened. Julius clicked his tongue.
“Tsk! After all, there is no way you can succeed easily.”
To be honest, jumping over space is more absurd than cutting space.
'There is even an image that cutting is at least parting! Unless the sword teleports, how can it cut through distant objects without any foreshadowing?'
As if guessing his question, Galeus spoke up.
“You rookie! What were your thoughts on moving the weapon just now?”
Julius tilted his head.
“Of course I swung it with the intention of cutting down that tree.”
In response, Galeus shook his head.
“The tree is much farther than the point the sword can reach. How were you going to cut it?”
“Yeah… … .”
Julius was speechless for a moment. If he knew that feeling, wouldn't he have succeeded right away? However, there was no way Galeus would say such a thing for nothing.
“The rookie already knows how. Isn’t it simple to inject the Force?”
"Yeah, it's not like that."
As the saying goes, the tree was only a few meters away. It is enough to condense the force into the sword and blow it. In the East, this skill, called Ganggi (劍罡), was something that anyone who reached a certain level could do.
But what does that have to do with such low (?) technology? To that question, Galeus answered with a serious expression.
“They are no different.”
“… … !?”
Julius felt even more puzzled. What kind of buzzing noise is this?
While we were having such a conversation, it was time for the sun to set, and the surroundings were slowly getting darker.
And Julius was vigorously swinging his sword in the yard in front of the darkened meeting room.
Whiing!
However, the sword cutting through the air could not cut through anything, and only the sound of the wind whizzed.
'This isn't training, it's gymnastics on a moonlit night.'
Julius, grumbling inwardly, recalled the last words Galeus had left.
“This is all I can say. A wise rookie will soon realize.”
'Wise is a dog horn... … .'
Unfortunately, Julius didn't get any enlightenment. He only eagerly imagines his goal of cutting down trees, waving his sword in the air. Naturally, the tree did not lose a single bark.
“… … .”
wheein!
He continued swinging his sword with a tired expression. In fact, he didn't get tired just because he swung his sword like this, but it was mentally burdensome because there was no result.
'You're not trying to make fun of me, are you?'
As he wielded his sword, his head was filled with all sorts of miscellaneous thoughts, and he could not concentrate on training. As a result, mistakes are likely to occur.
Pod!
"this!"
While his nerves went elsewhere for a while, the force was injected into the sword without his knowledge. Julius hurriedly tried to change the direction of his sword, but
Awesome!
The tree in the yard he had designated as the original target fell helplessly, but he smiled bitterly.
'Because Benda was immersed in her thoughts, she must have moved the force without my knowledge.'
When attacking enemies farther than the original length of the sword, the Force is used to increase its power and range. In the blink of an eye, he operated the force as usual.
'okay. As Galeus said, if you can use the force, it's easy to cut down trees from this distance.'
However, there was no way it would become a training. What he wanted was not something like this, but a means to jump over space and hit the enemy.
“Anyway, I have to be careful. This kind of thing happens because I use the Force habitually.”
If it was an unmanned soldier like Julius, the force would naturally rise when a thought arose.
The so-called new sword union day! When the will arises, it is the stage where the sword strikes the enemy. Didn't he rise to the level of a sword fight with a superhuman of the highest level, such as the Archduke, after he had reached this stage before?
However, after thinking that far, Julius suddenly thought of something.
"wait? habit? New Swordsman Day?”
and the next moment.
"ah!"
Flash!
A thunderbolt of thought passed through his mind. You've found a clue!
Sureureung.
Julius again aimed at a tree in the yard and drew his sword.
Pod!
Awesome!
A bluish blade sprouted from the sword and lightly cut through the tree. It was a normal operation of the Force. The goal of transcending space was not achieved.
“… … .”
However, Julius did not show a disappointed expression. He turns his eyes to another target. This time it was a collapsed wall.
Pod!
Awesome!
The wall was also lightly cut away. This time, it was a failure because the force was operated normally. However, this action was repeated over and over again. And the pace is getting faster and faster.
Awesome!
bang!
Kurleung!
The meeting room was already in ruins, but as Julius' sword swung around, it became even more chaotic. Cloudy dust rises from the collapsed walls and trees.
In just a few hours, Julius swung his sword dozens, hundreds, and thousands of times. What is the meaning of this action?
Finally, when the swing was almost ten thousand times, a response came.
Tring!
[The proficiency of Divine Swordsmanship increases.]
'also!'
Julius smiled in repentance. The method he chose was right. He swung his sword even harder.
Booths.
The time had already turned to dawn. By the time the sun rose, Julius was also feeling tired.
'this much? No, did he swing it 30,000 times?'
At first, I was counting the number of swings, but then I forgot that too.
[The proficiency of Divine Swordsmanship increases.]
Only the occasional proficiency increase message allowed me to estimate the number of times. And finally!
Hiss!
His sword cut through empty space. and… … .
Quaang!
The wall in a little distance cracked and the stormwater collapsed. The force wasn't even injected, but Julius' sword split the wall.
Tring!
[Attribute: The rank of Divine Sword Union Day increases (S rank).]
[Player's job: Superman (Grand Master) is changed to a higher-level Transcendent.]
[Attribute – Mind Weapon has been created.]
“Success!”
Although Julius was quite exhausted, he was jumping for joy in his place. His prediction was right.
Seruk.
At the same time, a human pretended to appear in the conference room.
“… … !?”
“Amazing! Even if you are a rookie, I expected it to take several months... … .”
“Did you see my training?”
The identity of the human being was Galeus. He pretended to leave and secretly watched Julius training.
chuck!
He knelt down again and nodded.
“Congratulations to the rookie who has reached a new level!”
“I guess my method was right?”
It was only then that he saw Julius grinning and agreed.
“It is! When you reach the 5th level, the sword you wield is not important, you have to wield the sword of your heart!”
[Sword of Mind]
The 5th stage was the entrance to the legendary realm called the sword of the mind in the East. When the mind arises, the qi arises, and the sword of the mind that extends from there hits the target!
It is the stage corresponding to the final stage of the divine sword union.
“Originally, it takes decades of training to wield a weapon tens of thousands of times a day, but a rookie is different! He reached the heights in one day!”
Galeus was thrilled and trembled. The level that he had achieved by turning his hair white and gray was reached by Julius in just one day.
“I was just lucky.”
Even Julius, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression, was stabbed. It is because he has risen to this level by using the player's privilege.
'Single sword union is a characteristic! Then, if I raise my proficiency, wouldn't it naturally rise to the level?'
That prediction was right, and when his mind calmed down, Julius, who trained to move the force and sword naturally, was able to quickly rise to the realm.
A warrior who has reached this stage does not even need to wield a sword. A supreme state where you can attack the enemy to your heart's content with just your heart!
Julius put this ability to the test. He raised his sword and lightly waved the air.
jump!
A blue line was drawn in the air thirty meters away from him.
Pod!
Quarreung!
A thick pillar within the range of the line was cut off and a ruined building collapsed.
It was a surprising power, but after seeing the result, Julius looked a bit disappointed.
“Looks like the range doesn’t change much.”
The range of the sword in his mind was about 30 meters in radius, just like the space cutting. It seems difficult to increase more than that.
"haha… If you practice consistently, the distance will gradually increase.”
Galeus generously accepted his complaint. In fact, what I just showed you was unbelievable.
'The rookie is greedy.'
He thought to himself. However, Julius had a slightly different idea.
'Thirty meters is too short. In fact, if you are an unmanned person above a certain level, you will defend against attacks from that distance.'
Even if the opponent was a superhuman, it was not a problem to attack from 30 meters away. The sword of the heart was certainly surprising, but it was not a completely defenseless technique.
It wasn't that the fighting power of Julius, who already possessed treasures like divine treasures, increased dramatically. It is a situation where there are still regrettable things after stepping on the stage of step 5.
'Is there any way to attack from farther away?'
[I'm thinking about something simple.]
"what?"
How did the Yellow Dragon know? He spoke in a calm tone.
[If it's far, shouldn't we make it closer?]
“Near?”
"yes?"
Hearing his murmur, Galeus expressed a question, but had no time to answer. His mind was spinning furiously.
'Make it close? Do you mean close the distance?'
But when he approached, it was meaningless. So, what did the yellow dragon mean? Julius pondered again.
'Hwangryong's advice was always meaningful. It was a useful sword, albeit with a bad mouth, right? knife?'
He stopped thinking here. Come to think of it, the yellow dragon was a sword. This is the sword he is holding in his hand right now.
'Then narrowing the distance!'
flash!
In an instant, Julius' head turned white as if a firecracker exploded in front of his eyes. Previously, I was simply figuring out how to practice, but here I have gained real enlightenment.
"You're a rookie... Huh!”
Galeus looked anxiously at Julius, who had been talking to himself from earlier, then widened his eyes.
Flash!
The sword suddenly disappeared from Julius' hand. No, it didn't disappear, it flew away at an explosive speed.
Suaaang!
The sword that left his hand became a single flash of light. Flashes of blue light cross the air.
Pod!
It was unfolded in a trance, so I didn't pay attention to what was in front of me. The sword was shot through the roof of the central building of Jeong Do-maeng and into the sky.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
The sword just passed by for a moment, but the roof was ripped off with a terrifying roar. Broken tiles and broken wood chips are scattered in all directions.
"what!"
“Ugh!”
The tallest building in Jeong Do-maeng was where the top officials resided. They looked up at the sky in fright when the roof suddenly opened in the middle of a good night's sleep.
“Is it a raid?”
“Who else!”
But they had to open their mouths as if their jaws would fall out when they saw the flashes flying through the sky.
Suaaang!
The sword did not fly only in a straight line. Sometimes it curves, sometimes it soars high, and sometimes it falls. Of course, it was so fast that it was almost impossible to follow with the naked eye.
Seeing the sword swimming in the air like that, groans close to screams broke out among the leaders of Jeong Do-maeng.
“I can’t believe that!”
“This is the sword!”
"Oh oh! To see that in my lifetime!”
[The sword over!]
This technique, otherwise called fish sword, was the best martial art that was considered to exist only in the imagination along with mind sword.
This was a skill on a completely different level from the simple manipulation of objects with a true weapon. The sword that moves with the sword is faster than the wind and contains more power than any secret weapon in the world.
The true value of the 5th level was not the sword of the incomplete mind, but this sword.
"haha… … .”
Galeus was also bursting with laughter. He had been on the fifth level for more than ten years, but he never dreamed of such a skill.
'Surely, this old man's narrow mind is someone who cannot dare to measure!'
“… … .”
chin!
Several tens of minutes later, the Yellow Dragon Sword was caught in Julius' hand again.
“Oh!”
Only then did Julius come to his senses from the shock of realization and looked at the scene in front of him.
Puss.
The ceiling of the three-story building that stood in the center of Jeong Do-Meng had completely collapsed. Fortunately, there seemed to be no fatalities, but the culprit must have been him.
Pod!
At the same time, Jeong Do-meng's masters rushed toward him.
“Great deal!”
“What happened?”
Perhaps because they saw the legendary state, they are looking at the eyes of subtle fear and respect.
"that is… … .”
"Could it be an attack by the Demonic Cult again!"
"no… … .”
Julius couldn't bear to lie.
“I made a mistake while training. I'm really sorry about that building.”
“… … .”
