# 98
98. Niflheim (10)
As a result, the stabbing failed.
Lidigion changed his stance and struck it gently. I saw my right hand trembling lightly. The action just now was sharper and more sophisticated than any stabbing I had ever done.
“It’s much better than last time.”
Lydigion lowered his sword.
Ridigion, who hadn’t moved at all since the start of the match, took a step back.
“Is the synthesis efficiency different?”
“Synthesizing to the master is not just about absorbing experience.”
Lydigion lowered his voice.
“But be careful. High efficiency is not necessarily good. There is a risk that the master and target’s information may be mixed or adversely affected.”
I nodded.
I got some corrections for my swordsmanship by synthesizing with Shay. It was clear that it helped my growth.
Low-level heroes with insignificant abilities will eat but mana, but if higher-level heroes are synthesized, you will be able to experience a similar experience.
But I can’t say it’s completely good.
‘If I do too much synthesis.’
Information is mixed up.
“Maybe that’s why masters who use swordsmanship couldn’t learn defense skills.
“I’ll have to be careful.”
There are no high-level heroes higher than 4 stars in Taoni yet.
However, as the waiting room expands and the number of floors goes up, there will be one or two. In the meantime, there must be no hero that can be combined with me.
‘It’s not for me to decide.’
I am not the master of Taoni.
The authority to synthesize will not be allowed even if I become a sub-master.
However, it can have an indirect effect. It seems that this part should be considered.
“I raised one level in one day. I thought it would take ten days.”
“Master’s talent…”
“Stop painting gold on your face. It’s hot during the day. Anyway, if the progress is faster than I expected, I don’t think you’ll be satisfied with just one intermediate weapon skill.”
“then.”
“I want to learn how to combine the new sword.”
The new sword union is not a normal skill that is commonly classified.
As far as I know, there is only one hero with Divine Swordsmanship, Ridigion.
Combining Divine Swords was the only skill with only one owner.
“Gladly.”
Lydigion bowed to me.
“But before that, you need to break through the intermediate weapon skills.”
“Is there a limit on this?”
“It’s not really like that, but at this stage, learning it will be less efficient. And I’m sorry, but even if I do my best, the Master may not be able to learn it.”
“It doesn’t matter. I don’t blame you for my lack of skills.”
Ridigion is showing off everything he has.
If I can’t learn it, it’s just my lack.
‘I’m going to have to change my schedule.’
You will likely get more income than you think.
I needed to invest a little more time.
‘Excluding physical training.’
Strength training is a training that can be done even after returning.
However, sparring or training with Lidigion was a valuable experience that could never be done anywhere else. It seemed to me that I should set up a welcome in the evening by talking to Yurnet. If left unattended for a long time, they might get caught, but I was prepared for that by bringing them here.
“Then, the next couple…”
“Master.”
A familiar voice was heard.
Looking to the side, I saw Nisled pulling a multi-story cart. A variety of dishes were placed on fine plates on the cart.
“It’s meal time. Take a break and do it.”
Nisled flapped his apron and a small wooden table came into existence.
Nisled set up a chair, prepared various dishes, and then bent down and disappeared. He was an unchanging newcomer. I sheathed my sword.
“I’ll have to eat.”
After eating, we took a little rest.
Then he faced Lidigion again. Returned the feeling of raising the weapon skill level by one level.
‘It’s not going well.’
Perhaps it was the beginner’s luck, but the feeling was faint as if it were about to come to mind.
But it didn’t completely disappear. It remained faintly in the hand. I looked at Lydigion. The attitude is the same, there is no need to say hello. I immediately raised my sword and charged.
Kang!
Swords collided with swords, creating a roar.
Whenever I cut and stabbed, Ridigion naturally returned the sword to bounce and block it. It was a mysterious movement no matter how many hours I watched.
“Your skills have improved.”
Ridigion spoke as he received the diagonal cut like flowing water.
“Because I didn’t use berserk.”
In Dalian in the afternoon, we decided to fight in a different way.
In the morning, if they clashed with strength and speed, this time they were going to test skill-oriented battles, even if they were a bit weak and slow.
“The unnatural movements that are revealed at first glance in the Master’s swordsmanship seem to be the cause.”
“That’s not all.”
I swung my shield.
The sword drew a semicircle and deflected the shield.
Lydegion paused for a moment before speaking.
“If you reach level 10, you will need to separate your skills.”
“I think so.”
A special item is required to change the skill.
The item name is Elixir of Awakening. It is an advanced potion that requires various rare materials and high-level alchemy. However, in this place, there are as many things as stones that can be stumbled upon. No matter how many you take, you won’t even notice.
There was plenty of work to do.
Broadly speaking, it can be said to be adjusting and learning weapon skills, but if you look in detail, there are little differences.
Evolve the first target weapon skill to Intermediate.
This was a top priority. Even if you give up anything else, you have to achieve this.
Second, change the type of weapon.
A shield is obviously a useful piece of equipment. I don’t know how many times I’ve been through a crisis because of my shield. But it doesn’t fit my aptitude. It was clear from the fact that he had not learned defense-related skills. For a slightly higher level of swordsmanship, swordsmanship had to be changed to swordsmanship.
The third goal was to acquire the new sword union.
Although the principle is complex, the effect is simple.
‘Amplifies the power and speed applied to the weapon.’
If you can harmonize it properly, it will give wings to berserk.
It’s like receiving two corrections in terms of ability.
The fourth was the adjustment for berserk.
As I feel and like Ridigion mentioned, it seems like you get a penalty on your weapon skills when you activate Berserk. If only I could somehow get around this penalty.
‘Is this far too much?’
Time is running out to accomplish just one.
Even if I get to the third time properly, I will become incomparably stronger. Keeping the fourth goal in mind, I decided not to overdo it.
“There is a huge difference between the lower and intermediate levels of weaponry.”
Lidigion said in the late afternoon.
“I guess so.”
Weapon skills are the foundation of Pick Me Up’s myriad skills.
Even if you fill up with all sorts of fancy skills, if there is a difference in weapon skills, the odds of winning drop significantly.
“If low-level weapon skills are combat, intermediate weapon skills are war. From the middle level, it’s not just a fight, it’s a war where you make castles and push each other.”
“Are you talking about a territorial fight?”
“yes.”
Ridigion replied.
‘It’s a realm.’
It is often detected in sparring with Belquist.
If the sword comes in a certain direction, it can be noticed no matter how it comes. And you can counterattack more perfectly. The mind eye skill leading to the throwing defense was also a kind of area enhancement.
“Defending one’s territory and breaking through the opponent’s territory. This is the core of intermediate weapon technology. Sword types such as strong swords, short swords, and quick swords are means for this. It can be divided into soldiers such as cavalry, archers, and spearmen.”
“…”
“Master is already building an area. However, it is still in an unfinished state that is just a fence. You need to make it into a strong castle wall.”
Ridigion said.
“If they enter their territory, make sure no one gets out alive.”
Ridigion’s presence changed again.
It was as if his whole body would be cut off with just the touch of his fingertips.
“…ha.”
Lydigion straightened the sword.
At the same time, there was a sound like a spatula being cut.
Sureureung.
A crack opened in the iron mountain rising around it, and it split vertically from the top.
“Master, if you reach the end of the domain, you can cut it without touching or swinging.”
All black iron within a 50m radius of Lidigion cracked.
A total of nine. The cutting edge was extremely smooth. But
‘this is not enough.’
Compared to the true power of Lidigion, the current events are trivial.
I narrowed my eyes. Beyond Lidigion’s back, a blurry sword spirit swayed.
“I have no intention of going that far, man.”
I dismissed it.
“I don’t change jobs as a master.”
“I guess so.”
Lydegion smiled bitterly.
The same technique as before was a technique that could only be performed by Lidigion. However, fame is not the only advantage. My job is a warrior. It’s obvious and simple as it’s a basic job, but it’s just as powerful. After about half of the training, the job change will begin.
The sparring continued until late in the evening that day.
It was safe to say that they had been fighting almost all day. Ridigion taught me about weapon skills all the while clashing swords with me. Some of them were so profound that I couldn’t understand them. accepted regardless.
Even if you don’t understand it right now, you can accept it later.
The time given to me is one month. Ridigion seemed to be trying to cram as much of it into me as possible. I had no intention of refusing.
“In order to build a realm, it is necessary to embody the movement of swordsmanship. It is for this purpose that practitioners repeat the same movement tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of times. It is to bring the skill down to the level of unconsciousness.”
training continued.
Embody swordsmanship.
This meant swinging the sword like breathing.
There are limits to human concentration.
If there is a novice wielding a sword for the first time here, he consumes all available concentration only on the action of swinging the sword. He can’t think of anything else.
But the more you practice, the more you repeat.
The concentration consumed in the series of movements, such as loading the lower body, moving the shoulders and wrists, and attacking the target, gradually begins to decrease.
And this is what goes over to the stage of unconsciousness when a certain moment is different. As naturally as breathing.
All hours of the day are devoted to training.
10 days like that.
[Skill Awakening!]
[‘Han(★★★)”s ‘Lesser Swordsmanship’ has reached Lv.10!] [
‘Han(★★★)’s ‘Lesser Swordsmanship’ has reached its maximum level. When special conditions are met, evolution to a higher skill is possible!]
The limit of low-level weapon skills has been reached.
I lowered my sword. Lydegion was smiling faintly.
“Is this how it feels?”
I thought while looking at the wooden doll in front of me.
‘Poke.’
My body moved naturally.
Make perfect movements without being conscious of it.
The tip of the sword lodged itself in the doll’s forehead.
“Excellent.”
“It’s thanks to you. Thank you.”
As the sparring period got longer, I could tell.
This guy is not just fighting me. He is guiding me in the direction where I can grow by adjusting the level of swordsmanship and sword type
. I was able to target and reinforce that place with ‘, and
if there is a strong part, I made it possible to feel the weakness of it.
‘It’s a customized education.’
Even if I went in as an instructor, it would have had a great effect.
I put the sword in the sheath. When I looked up, I could see the pitch-black sky. It was late in the evening.
‘It’s been 10 days since I came here.’
Except for the first meeting, I spent every day in training.
I hadn’t attended training for recruits for more than a week.
“Yurnet.”
[Yes.]
I heard the answer as if I had waited
. If you show up from time to time…]
“I was going to stop by tomorrow anyway.”
After saying goodbye to Ridigion, I headed for the lift.
Half of the first training goal was achieved. After taking a few days off, I’ll take care of other things. I was thinking,
“Yournet, how far has your education gone?” Is the theory class over?”
[Yes. The basic theory has been finished. We will start training on formation from tomorrow.] “It’s just
right.”
You can skip the formation training.
I said as I got on the lift. ” By tomorrow evening, open the
dimension
door
where Muden is
.
