Kaang

was swinging, Yooseong swung the frost sword in his hand.

Just as Yeomma took the offensive against the enemy using fire magic and swords. Now it was time to return Yooseong to the station.

He swung the frost sword, and as soon as Enma could block the blow, a shadow blade rose again from under his feet.

Frost Sword and Blade of Shadow.

Enma was taken aback by the endless barrage of heavenly swords and quickly widened the distance.

‘Now is the time.'

As soon as he saw that, Yoosung stretched out his arms.

Cold air condensed at the fingertips, and dozens of ice bolts struck. At the same time, another cold weapon was projected onto Yoosung's hand using the frost sword creation skill.

A throwing weapon made of bitter cold air.

Before he knew it, Yooseong threw the memorized weapon with all his might at Yeomma, who was blocking the ice bolt by erecting a wall of flames.

I had no intention of putting a wedge in the game with that blow.

Kaang

Yeomma also easily repelled Yooseong's memorization. Up to that point, it was as everyone expected.

——However, the ‘shadow’ that suddenly appeared as a result of memorization was not like that.

It is truly a moment within a moment. There was no way Yooseong would miss that one opportunity.

The shooting memorization of the meteor cast a shadow in front of Enma's nose, and there was no doubt that it was the shadow of the player.

And a blade of darkness rose from the shadow.

Phew!

“one.”

Yoosung muttered calmly.

The shouts that had been echoing until just before subsided like a lie. Silence fell.

dump!

In the silence, Enma fell to his knees. Yoosung left the fallen Yeomma behind and spoke coldly.

“next.”

An arena of death where no one can leave until someone dies. It was just the beginning.

After defeating four of the five gladiators, Yoosung was finally about to face his final battle.

“Come on. “I thought I wouldn’t die after all.”

And the one who greeted Yooseong in the underground waiting room was a girl laying down on a mat as carefree as usual.

“Who told you to use up all your achievement points before dying?”

“Well, I’m not sure.”

When the girl calmly played it off, Yoosung shrugged his shoulders as if he was dumbfounded.

“Achievement score 195.600P. I collected a lot. So I also brought a lot of things to sell.”

“Who bought it for you?”

“Use it all and die before you die.”

Yoosung remained silent. One by one, the battle was repeated non-stop four times against gladiators who were comparable to the boss of the 3rd tier tower.

Even more so, the final opponent you will fight will be incomparable to those you defeated before.

“Still, I don’t have anything to buy right now. Is there anything better?”

“Salty bastard.”

“noisy.”

Saying that, Yooseong

looked at the products spread out on the mat.

[You have acquired 1 recovery potion (500P).]

A symbol of potion that cannot be missed in RPG games. I uncapped the recovery potion and took a gulp. The healing magic effect slowly began to circulate in the body, and the fatigue of the body exhausted from repeated battles was completely washed away.

At first glance, his face, which was just a step away from going straight to Samdocheon, finally regained its color.

“Wow, I live for this.”

“Buy me more. Buy me a card pack. It will become legendary.”

” really?”

“Yes.”

After that, at the words of the girl urging Yooseong, he picked up a card pack lying at his feet.

[Random skill card pack (10000 = acquired.)]

“Is it a legend?”

At the same time, a halo of light appeared in front of Yooseong. It swirled around, and a skill card appeared beyond it.

[Wow, a normal card!]

[Skill 《Slow Heal》 has been acquired!] An

extremely awkward silence fell, and in the silence, Yoosung opened his mouth.

“I heard you say that . “I’m a legend for believing in you.”

“Give me one more shot. Now you’ll really be on the rise.”

“You’re a real legend for still thinking about selling drugs.”

Yoosung muttered as if he was dumbfounded and stood up. At the same time, the girl’s body It stopped as it was.

Slow Heal. Of course, it's better than nothing. However, even if you asked if it was a skill worth eating, it was still vague. Above all, it

was a non-combat skill that couldn't be used immediately during battle. The

skill card As he put it on and stretched out his arm, a brilliant golden light enveloped Yoosung's body. Slowly, the wounds on his body began to heal. “Wow, even if a turtle crawled, it would be faster than

this.”

And unfortunately, the turtle crawled away. There was no time to wait.

[The final duel begins!]

At the same time, a message announcing the final battle came to mind.

“It’s time to eat, you little bastard.”

As if responding to Yooseong’s words, a cat’s meow was heard from the shadows beneath my feet. .

Shadow Beast.

It was time to bring out the hidden resources until the very end.

The last gladiator was there.

Wrapped in water-tight heavy armor, an ominous silence fell beneath the helmet. The

final stage of this arena . Boss: The Unbreakable One.

As soon as I saw it, my sharply sharpened intuition whispered. The darkness peeking through the gap in the visor of the helmet, I wondered what was inside that helmet and armor. There was nothing. The thing that moved was not the contents, but the thing that covered the being

. Because it was the armor itself.

It was Living Armor.

And the living armor rushed to the ground. The greatsword in his hand swung, and Yooseong parried the Living Armor's blow as if it were a blow and continued walking. It wasn't normal strength.

The sight of them kicking the ground and widening the distance was met with boos.

However, Yooseong paid no heed and adjusted his sword. One annoying thing about living armor is that you can't aim at the meat and bones inside the armor.

The armor itself containing magical power had to be destroyed, and to do so, it was necessary to close the distance to the very front.

However, as his name suggests, the Unbreakable One was of a different class from the flames of Enma and other opponents he had fought before. A powerful enemy who uses a single sword with the honesty of a fool, without relying on shallow techniques.

So, paradoxically, there was no gap.

‘It's several times more annoying than those who use clumsy techniques.'

I clicked my tongue and adjusted the hilt of the frost sword. At the same time, the armor hit the ground and rushed. The distance narrowed. Concentrating his mind on the rapidly narrowing distance, Yoosung also fixed his legs and remained motionless.

Just as meteors needed to close the distance to destroy armor, armor was no exception.

I left the narrowing distance behind and stretched out my arms.

The magical power of cold condensed along the finger, and the armored greatsword was swung to cut off the finger.

Taang!

Fortunately, the ice bolts were fired a little faster. However, even the dozens of ice bombs coming from right in front of them did not have the stopping power to block the armor (MiE village).

That very fact was considered an opportunity for Living Armor, so the armor did not stop there and went further.

Just as it was, Living Armor's sword was about to cut off Yooseong's fingers and shoulder.

‘Now is the time.'

—Grrr!

A shadow beast rose from beneath the meteor's feet, pounced on the armor, and opened its maw of darkness.

Kwasik!

The tangible darkness opened its mouth and tore the armor to pieces. At the same time, a blade emerged from the body of the shadow beast.

The beast latched onto its prey, and immeasurable blades of darkness struck from a distance narrowed to zero.

“Good job, Kamang.”

In that state, Yooseong stretched out his arm, reconstructed the frost sword, and fixed the hilt of the sword.

It was not an ordinary long sword. It was a rapier that was sharp and sharp like a needle.

The cold rapier was stabbed towards the gap in the Living Armor, which was caught by the shadow beast and could not move.

In search of the core of magic hidden in the darkness where there is nothing inside the armor.

A faint flow of magic energy could be felt above the armor. I found the point where the flow was converging and struck.

—It was at the same time that Living Armor struck the final blow while shaking off the shadow beast.

Immediately after, golden light swept over Yoosung’s body.

Archangel's Shield, an equipment skill included in the legendary armor ‘Golden Fanaticism'.

A protection skill with a cooldown of a whopping one week surrounded Yooseong's body, and the unbreakable greatsword of the One struck down on top of it.

Kaang!

The heavenly shield that blocks any attack once deflected Living Armor's attack and disappeared.

Clink!

It was at the same time that the cold rapier shattered the core of the armor.

The armor, which had stopped moving as its core was broken, reduced to ashes and began to scatter.

After catching my breath, I raised my head.

Silence fell over the Colosseum, leaving behind the living armor that had turned to ashes and the sandstorm of the martyrs.

“The Unbreakable has been defeated! Player Player ‘Kang Yoo-seong’ defeated all five gladiators by himself!”

“Waaaa!”

After silence, endless shouts rang out.

At the same time, the level rose, the skill card experience increased, and the loot that should have been earned by conquering the tower poured in.

[You have cleared the Blade Arena!]

[As a reward, you have obtained a rare grade accessory, Necklace of Vitality!]

[The special achievement ‘Ikkitousen’ has been achieved! Achievement score 50000...]

《Necklace of Vitality》

- Grade . Rare Accessory

- Performance

. When worn, the stamina recovery rate increases slightly and the recovery rate significantly increases when out of combat. It

is not exactly known to what extent the world in the tower is real. Living Armor Even so, it is impossible to know whether the gladiators defeated in the arena are really living people or ‘virtual beings' that exist in the tower.

But it made no difference either way.

There may be some hesitation at first, but eventually everyone gets used to it. There are quite a few players who become increasingly accustomed to and desensitized to the reality of killing people, and eventually treat the beings in the tower as 100% virtual beings and commit atrocities.

When I came out of the tower, I saw a purple sky. It was a purple color that combined the darkness of the night sky with the madder light of sunset.

As I lowered my head, as expected, the area around me was filled with waves of reporters.

“Breaking news! “Player Kang Yu-seong has just conquered the tier 4 tower alone!”

“Befitting the name of the King of Heroes, even after the new season, he is still holding the top spot in the rankings, including the top strategy score...

“Yuseong! “There is news that the sword master has just entered the tier 5 tower!”

And then a reporter raised his voice. Hearing that, Yoosung shook his head in bewilderment.

“How many people?”

“They say he went in alone!”

“Oh my, you’ve been so full of energy since the first day of the season.”

Needless to say, upon hearing the news that Yoosung entered the tier 4 tower alone, he must have built up his pride and said that he could not lose.

A race between rankers on the first day of the season. Honestly, it doesn't mean much. To put it bluntly, it is a battle of pride between the kids. As a result, it is nothing more than providing news to reporters broadcasting the race.

As can be seen from the fact that the saint leads the order of relief knights and focuses on collecting healing skills and recovery items, and the gravedigger does not immediately participate in the game, this game is ultimately a long-term game, not a sprint.

Because they had attacked three towers right away, Yooseong's body was creaking and screaming.

‘Looking at it, it looks like he got a single item from the 4th tier tower.'

However, most top players are far from mature enough to be considered so coldly. Sword Master will be no exception.

In front of the microphone that was being thrust at everyone, Yoosung opened his mouth after thinking.

“Geomju... is an asshole.”

“What did you just say?”
