Emperor stats are visible - Chapter 99
new sword union day
'The senses are sealed?'
For a moment, Julius had a puzzled look on his face. The force energy that filled his body just before had completely disappeared, so the ghost couldn't help but cry.
'hey! No matter what, this isn't it!'
[…] … .]
No answer came from the Yellow Dragon Sword. Julius was staring at the sword with an absurd expression.
“Are there any problems?”
“… … .”
Julius was in such a serious condition that even Jegal Unhyeon's voice could not answer properly. A superhuman-level strong man has become a normal person with a slightly healthy body due to one message from the system.
'This is crazy. If I don't clear the quest quickly, my life could be in danger.'
From the church to the grand duke, his political opponents were not one or two. No matter how strong the escort was, the reason why Julius was so confident was because he had confidence in his own strength.
“What must I do to arrive at the date of the new sword or the new sword?”
“As I said before, there is no right answer. Didn’t I mention that it is usually proportional to the absolute amount of training?”
"Still, if you're a prestigious samurai, don't you have some secret?"
Julius felt impatient. If I don't clear the quest given by this damn sword, there will be a major setback in my future plans.
"hmm… … .”
After thinking for a while, Jegal Unhyeon opened his mouth.
“I have advice to give you from experience rather than a secret recipe.”
“What is it?”
Julius' eyes flashed. He had to cling to it with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw.

a few days later
buzz buzz.
The knights of the Sharnos Knights were staring at Elles Villa with worried eyes.
“They say you haven’t come out of the gym for a week already.”
“Did you get any enlightenment? Has it been too long for you to see that?”
“I’m worried that you might be hurt.”
As he said, as soon as he returned from the capital, Julius locked himself in the gymnasium and forbade anyone from entering because he was training.
His week was only a continuation of training.
Cheng Kang!
"omg! omg!"
Julius was spread out on the floor of the gymnasium, his entire body covered in sweat. The yellow dragon sword also rolled around in one corner of the gymnasium. In the corner of his field of vision as he lay down, figures were displayed.
[Level 1 Mastery: 0.0%]
'What are the conditions for clearing this quest?'
Now there was no time to be annoyed with futility. Julius again fell into deep reminiscence.
“In our family, if you learn more than eight characteristics of the martial arts, which are usually handed down with the breath of the blue dragon, you will enter the state of unity.”
If Saengsabak, a Baktu technique, has been handed down along with self-defense in Baekhomumun, there was a spearmanship called Harmony Shinchang in the Jegal family.
Of course, there were very few people who succeeded as great as Lee Cheong-mun's martial arts, and even Jegal Unhyeon, one of the best absolute masters in the East, said that he was still in Guseong.
"Then, you're saying that the mastery of swordsmanship or singing is the problem."
"yes. There may be differences depending on the level of martial arts, but your sword method is, from my point of view, a very well-made method of ascending.”
'Well, it's the great swordsmanship, so it's only natural... '
Knights of the Empire usually train based on the swordsmanship called Imperial Swordsmanship, unless a prestigious martial artist learns martial arts separately.
'But what's the problem?'
Hey profit!
Currently, he was unable to raise even a single handful of force. Although his body muscles were screaming with repeated training, he somehow tried to cast the Imperial Swordsman's movements from the beginning.
“Ugh!”
But the result was the same as before. Missing the sword that had been swinging fiercely until the middle, Julius fell to the ground.
[Level 1 Mastery: 0.0%]
He let out a sigh as he fell to the ground again.
"I can't even open the second half of the sword ceremony in this state, so how can I train?"
Imperial swordsmanship is a basic swordsmanship, but not all swordsmanship was open to general knights.
The imperial swordsmanship consisted of a total of seven swordsmen, and the latter three swordsmen could only be viewed by knights who joined the royal guard knights, the elite of the empire.
And there were good reasons for that.
'The last three swordsmanships don't work at all if you can't raise the force above a certain level. It's impossible in the first place!'
Julius, who had been steadily training the imperial sword for thirty years in his previous life and ten years in this life, knew that fact better than anyone else.
That's why no matter how much you practice other movements, you have no choice but to break in the middle. Julius thought this was the only reason his proficiency didn't rise at all.
However, in order to clear the quest, the imperial sword must be trained more perfectly.
Two, the force is needed to perfect the imperial sword.
Three, I can't use the force right now.
Even if you think logically, this is an absolutely impossible condition to clear.
[…] … .]
However, the Yellow Dragon Sword did not answer his question. Tendons rose from his forehead.
'Come on, let's try whether you win or I win.'
From that day on, Julius forgot about erosion and started swinging his sword.
It was this damn sword he wielded anyway. day… Two days… one week… Time passed incessantly.
For as much as 15 days, Julius repeated training without any profit. Of course, his skill level didn't go up at all, but his intentions were different.
Cheng Kang!
Smack!
Udangtang!
How could the sword be intact when he was rolling on the floor? The Hwangryonggeom, which had been rolling around on the floor covered in dust with him, finally began to respond.
[stop.]
[You say you have no talent?]
Either that or not, Julius just swung his sword silently. Anyway, if you go outside with the force sealed, you will only be exposed to danger.
'I just need to do what I can do now.'
Besides, this unnecessarily picky sword can be fucked, so how desirable is it?
Chaeeng!
As I was so self-conscious, I later came up with a knack, so when I lost my posture, I was able to deliberately throw my sword hard on the floor.
[Crazy man!]
'I'm glad the response is good!'
Feeling better, Julius decided to study this technique intensively.
two days after that.
Ta-ta-ta-dak!
Cheng Kang!
“Success!”
He was smiling as he rolled on the floor. He was finally able to bounce his sword five times on the floor as he fell!
[…] … .]
slippery
'uh?'
The moment he succeeded in such a new technique (?), Julius suddenly felt his consciousness fly somewhere.
At this moment, what he saw was a video somewhere, just like when he was reporting to the imperial palace. Julius grinned inwardly.
'As expected, there was something about squeezing the sword.'
Does it make sense that there are no hints when the name is a quest given directly by the sword? From the beginning, his primary goal was to break the stubbornness of the sword.
'There must be some crucial clue.'
Julius began observing the scene in front of him with concentration.
'As expected, isn't that the high priest, just a bully?'
The sight he sees now is outwardly very majestic. Flags fluttered everywhere and knights dressed in armor were lined up in an orderly fashion.
The identity of the knights was the first Sharnos Knights. Of course, the great emperor standing in front of them was also emitting unusual momentum, but the problem was the words that came out of his mouth.
"under! Let's leave that for non-players! But the system raises proficiency, so who the hell is someone who can’t master this?”
“… … .”
'sorry.'
Julius, who was watching, couldn't help but feel cold. But what can he do with something he can't practice?
“Look! This is the real end.”
After spitting out such harsh words, the great emperor began to slowly move his sword. As expected by Julius, it was an imperial sword ceremony.
'As expected, his movements are so smooth that I can't even compare them.'
Although his mouth was like that of a bully, the legendary hero seemed to be a hero. Each and every movement was much smoother and sometimes more refreshing than the sword of the great emperor, Julius, who demonstrated each movement slowly.
'For now, I've realized one thing I'm lacking.'
There were only a lot of monsters around Julius, but he was right enough to be an outstanding soldier on the continent. Just watching the demonstration of the Great Emperor realizes his first problem.
'It's not important to perform each swordsmanship correctly. It should be seamless as if it were originally one movement.'
This didn't seem like a big deal. Since you have already seen the most ideal movement, if you follow it slowly, you will be able to achieve it according to your efforts regardless of your talent.
'But the most important thing is after that!'
His eyes were watching the great emperor, who was unfolding the second half of the sword ceremony. In what way will the alternative great emperor unfold the second half without the force?
“Did you see everything? Disband now!”
"Eh?"
Pick!
When his consciousness returned to the gymnasium, Julius had no choice but to stand there dumbfounded for a while.
Moments later, Julius raised his sword and screamed.
“No, even that great man uses force, right? But how did you put these conditions on me!”
As he said, the great emperor was only unfolding in an ideal posture that was incomparable to him, but in the second half, the three meals used force.
[Stupid.]
sniff
“… … .”
Julius got ready to throw his sword again. This time, he planned to challenge the water swallow six times.
[for a moment!]
"What?"
[I never said not to write.]
“… … !?”
[Until here, no more is possible.]
'Can I use the force? But how?'
Julius was puzzled, but at the same time nodding his head.
In fact, those three swordsmanships were moves of such a high degree of difficulty that it would be difficult to cast them with human strength, no matter how much dragons were used. Therefore, it was necessary to strengthen the body through the Force.
'Yes, I was mistaken from the beginning.'
What was the reason for allowing only the royal guards to read the second half of Samsik in the first place? Isn't it because a knight with no skills can't even imitate?
And there were memories that passed through his mind.
"It's not like I didn't use my inner energy."
Those were the words of Jegal Unhyeon. With the puzzle of instant memories put together, Julius spoke to the Yellow Dragon Sword.
'Can I see the memories from before?'
[I get it.]
Julius started training again while watching the demonstration video of the great emperor.
Cheng Kang!
Still, in the second half of the three meals, the motion was cut off, but he didn't care.
'The important thing is that the connection should be natural as if it were a single movement!'
After a week like that, his movements became unrecognizable. The movements up to the middle were able to be linked like flowing water in any posture.
[Skill level increases. Level 1 proficiency 7.2%]
'also!'
Julius' prediction came true.
The important thing in this quest was to be able to connect each movement perfectly so that no matter what action you take in any situation, even unconsciously, you can perform an appropriate swordsmanship.
And finally!
[Skill level increases. Level 1 proficiency 30%]
Hey profit!
The yellow dragon sword held by Julius swung at a speed that was incomparable to that of before. All of a sudden, the black was glowing with a soft blue light.
Quaang!
It was a movement that unfolded unconsciously, so I couldn't completely control it. The aftermath of the force emitted from the sword he wielded shattered one wall of the gymnasium.
But that wasn't the point. Julius was overjoyed at the moment.
[The skill level increases significantly. Level 1 proficiency 40%]
'Yes, I just couldn't feel the force, but it didn't disappear!'
In the first place, he was thinking because he concluded that he could not use the force. But he said the system's message was to seal the senses, he didn't blow the force itself.
As the connection between swordsmanship became softer, he unknowingly raised the force unconsciously and connected the third half of the half, which he had been accustomed to.
'That's what I meant when you wield a weapon and realize it!'
And I realized why this kind of training exists as a quest.
Depending on the system, the output or amount of the force simply increases, but it grows relatively fast enough that there is not enough time to control it in detail.
If you pour alcohol in haste into a small glass, of course it overflows. In the meantime, Julius was wasting his control by solving the lack of control with the output and amount of the force that depended on the system.
As a result, as Jegal Unhyeon said, he ended up becoming an unbalanced martial artist with a lot of internal energy.
'I've grown to another level!'
Only now did Julius realize that he was standing at the beginning of the path of true strength. Perhaps the enemies I had to fight in the future would have already broken through this level.
* * *
a week after that
“Hoo… Do you want me to check it out?”
“I got a little realization this time.”
Jegal Unhyeon had a puzzled expression. It's only been a month since he checked Julius' skills. How much can he do if he grows up in that short period of time?
To that, Julius adds these words.
“This time, unlike the last time, please do not ignore me and attack me.”
“Okay.”
However, judging from Julius' expression, it was no joke. Raising his spear and poised, he gave advice in a serious tone.
"You'd better be careful this time."
The two of them stood at a distance, standing still with their weapons drawn. And after some time passed, Julius felt that the spear of Jegal Yunhyeon was slightly shaken.
“… … !?”
At that moment, the shadow of the spear that reached the sky fell on Julius like a shower.
"oh!"
Jegal Hwayeong, the least skilled among the people in the hall, did not even see when Jegal Unhyeon moved the spear.
Quaang!
Surprisingly, only after the shadow of the window reached Julius did an explosion explode belatedly. This is because the speed at which the spear moves is much faster than the speed at which sound reaches the ear.
The sturdy floor of the gymnasium was shattered mercilessly with a terrifying explosion.
“No matter how much your uncle protects the law, isn't it too much for your lord?”
“Master must have an idea.”
Jegal-geon and Jegal Hwa-young were watching the situation at the gymnasium with their eyes wide open.
By the time the thick dust rising from the smashed floor cleared away, the figure of Julius, who had been exposed to a terrifying attack, was finally revealed.
"her… congratulations on your achievement What a surprise.”
A heartfelt admiration escaped from Jegal Unhyeon's mouth. Surprisingly, Julius was covered in dust, but he was not seriously injured.
“It's good to be ruthless, but did you have to aim for the floor? I have to wash first.”
He grumbled with his mouth, but Julius also had a smile on his lips. He was somehow able to take the offensive that Jegal Unhyeon sincerely launched without getting hurt.
'It's unfortunate that I couldn't even dare to counterattack.'
But time will solve that. The road to becoming stronger was still wide open.
“Wait a minute and see.”
Jegal Unhyeon called and stopped Julius, who was about to leave the gymnasium covered in dust.
Then he lowered his head and took a pose of gunning.
“I congratulate you, master, on your accomplishments.”
“Congratulations!”
In a hurry, both Zhuge Hwa-young and Jegal-geon threw their fists.
If just now it was pure admiration as a military man, this was the courtesy of the Four Gods' Association to protect the blue dragon.
And it was also the first heartfelt greeting he gave to Julius, who had a hard time seeing unmanned people. In fact, he had many doubts in many ways, but he admitted that his talent was real.
Of course, Julius could clearly see it.
'I'm a little sorry that I'm not a real genius... It's like a genius, so it doesn't matter.'
[Quest - You have cleared Stage 1 of the Trial of the Yellow Dragon.]
[Achievements increase.]
[Characteristic - Divine sword union (A rank) has been created.]
