Chapter 233
Chapter 233
It was well into dawn .
The Mysterious Forest, which looked like the landscape of an Oriental painting, had long been devastated .
“…”
Dark blue paint smeared the sky . A man was standing with flames behind him . He had black hair that was thicker than silk and his white skin was dusty and scarred .
Suuk .
Dozens of of enemies were reflected in the lonely eyes . The humans fell down, got up, and fell down again . It wanted to kill them so they couldn’t fight again, but it wasn’t easy .
They were getting stronger over time, and there was an excellent human who protected them . He probably showed half the strength of my original master . I couldn’t do anything because he easily overwhelmed me .
How long could I hold on?
In the past, a human army came . One day there were countless monsters . I had defended this forest from all types of beings for a long time, but this was my first moment of great crisis . But I soon calmed my mind .
‘I…’
I had to defend it . She was on the hill beyond this forest . She was the only one who didn’t hate me, when I could do nothing but imitate the image of others . I didn’t remember the last time I saw her, but her warmth was still vivid . I wouldn’t let these intruders make it through this forest to ruin her happiness .
“Pagma’s Swordsmanship . ”
One of the humans spoke a familiar technique . It was the same technique used by my original master . It wasn’t hard to cope with . I also used the same technique . I was much faster at using the technique than the human, so it was a simple matter .
However .
“…?”
The human’s movements changed in the middle . The footwork suddenly changed from Kill to Link .
“Kill . ”
“Link!”
The man dodged Kill and fired dozens of energy blades .
Pit! Pipipipipit!
I couldn’t deal with the dozens of energy blades alone . In other words, blood spurted from the body of Pagma’s doppelganger . One fifth of my health gauge was lost at once . The human was excited after succeeding in the attack .
“How is it? You were tricked? Isn’t it amazing? Eh?”
Grid . It was his 83rd showdown with the doppelganger . He changed sword techniques in the middle, and had now become a clever warrior . A brave warrior .
“Wonderful . ” Piaro praised him . Piaro truly felt admiration .
‘The journey from Patrian to Reidan…’
Piaro had seen that Grid’s talent was already facing limitations . Grid was so clueless that he was deemed virtually impossible to teach . But now there was a good teaching material . That’s right, it was Pagma’s doppelganger . Pagma’s abilities might not be completely copied, but the doppelganger was far superior to Grid .
Piaro gave directions to Grid . As the battle with the doppelganger continued, Grid gained enlightenment and grew .
‘The mentor gives their student a glimpse of the bowl, a good opponent strips off the limits, and an ideal opponent makes them forget about the limits . ’
Those were his master’s words . An ideal opponent . Piaro also wanted to find it . Just like the current Grid .
“Grr…!”
Pagma’s doppelganger made a sound . He emitted an immensely strong killing intent . He showed extreme survival instincts now that his life was in danger .
“From now on, it is the real battle . Duke Grid, I wish you the best . ”
“Yes . ”
After receiving Piaro’s encouragement, Grid stepped forward with confidence . The doppelganger aimed an entirely new technique at him .
“Pinnacle . ”
Pagma’s Swordsmanship, it was made up of skills that dealt additional damage in proportion to physical damage . In addition, most of them were non-targeted skills and often missed . But Pinnacle was different . It was a targeted skill and had an additional option of ignoring the enemy’s defense . The range of movement was proportional to the length of the weapon .
Kwachak!
It was the culmination . It was an attack that was impossible for Grid to respond to .
“Kuaaaaak!”
Holy Light Armor . It was the ultimate armor made by the legendary blacksmith Pagma out of the god mineral, adamantium . But it couldn’t boast a complete defense in front of Pinnacle . Grid fell down while Piaro was amazed by the manifestation of an amazing sword technique .
‘Pagma! The more I see your swordsmanship, the more I want to meet you, not the fake ones…!’
A blacksmith, but also a master of the sword . The sword technique that could separate the sky and the mountains . Indeed, the best swordsman after Sword Saint Muller…
‘They are stronger than my current self!’
Piaro resented that he was born in this age . Why couldn’t he be born in the same time as Muller and Pagma? If he had lived under the same sky as them, he would’ve been able to stand shoulder to shoulder with them eventually .
However, there were no such people in the present age . He was alone and stagnant . The moment that Piaro was lamenting this,
“…Kuk, okay . ” A pale green light flashed around Grid’s bloody body . “It was good that I managed to wear Doran’s Ring in advance . ”
Grid said as he got up . His appearance was normal . The huge wound on Grid’s chest disappeared without a trace, and there were no other signs of injuries . The power of items . The healing of Doran’s Ring was amplified by the Holy Light Armor, completely restoring Grid’s health .
“What…?”
Piaro was shaken . Even a legendary Saintess couldn’t completely heal a dying person all at once, let alone Grid, who wasn’t a Saintess .
Ttuduk! Ttududuk!
Grid stretched his body . He prepared for a new strike .
“I can learn it as well . ”
Pagma’s Swordsmanship usually consisted of three to seven steps of footwork . It was extremely simple, but it was possible to unfold the ultimate swordsmanship with this simplicity . It was difficult to imitate Pagma’s Swordsmanship, and it was impossible to activate even if it was imitated .
But it was possible for Grid . He could make Pagma’s Swordsmanship his own, just by looking . How was it possible when he had no talent?
The reason was simple . He was Pagma’s Descendant . For that reason alone, Grid had managed to learn Pagma’s Swordsmanship after looking at the murals . But now there was a person to teach him the forms of Pagma’s Swordsmanship directly . It was optimal .
“Pagma’s Swordsmanship!”
Teong!
The heavy weight of Grid’s boots shook the ground . Grid expressed the essence of a warrior god with this sword technique .
“Pinnacle . ”
[You have learned a new skill . ]
[Pinnacle Lv . 1]
A sword that expresses the essence of a warrior god .
Deals 700% of your attack power to a single target . This skill will ignore 60% of the target’s armor .
Skill Usage Conditions: Have a sword type weapon equipped .
Skill Mana Cost: 750
Skill Cooldown Time: 3 minutes .
It was an intermediate skill between Kill and Link . It also consumed much less mana and had a shorter cooldown than Kill . The important thing was that it was a targeted skill, unlike Link or Kill . If this skill had been recorded in the murals at Loran Falls, the past Grid would’ve found it much easier to raise his level .
Kuoooh!
