“I’m stuck at the last wall blocking my ultimate goal . I’m asking for a spar with you in order to break that wall . ”

“Hoh, the ultimate goal you are aiming at . The goal must be…”

They were meaningful words .

Piaro asked carefully, “Is it becoming a sword saint?”

Kraugel didn’t deny it .

“That’s right . ”

“Haha . ”

Sword Saint . It meant a saint of the sword . A person who reached the extremes of swordsmanship and received enlightenment was always the strongest in history . Muller, who managed to suppress and seal the bodies of the great demons like Hell Gao, Drasion, Morax, Astaroth, and Purpu .

After Muller, no sword saint had been born in the last 100 years . Now Kraugel was close to reaching a level that even Piaro couldn’t achieve .

‘He has enough talent . ’

Piaro had been very amazed when he first met Kraugel . It was because Kraugel’s talent was higher than the person who was praised as the strongest swordsman on the continent . Yes, Piaro had seen through him from the beginning . If there was a person who would surpass him one day, it would surely be Kraugel .

‘But . ’

He felt strangely irritated after seeing Kraugel’s growth .

‘I never even saw the threshold…’

Duguen .

Duguen! Duguen!

His heart beat wildly . The fighting spirit that had been lost since becoming a farmer was currently wriggling . This uncontrollable fighting spirit made his blood become hot like lava .

“Are you qualified?”

Was he qualified to achieve something that even Piaro, a legend, couldn’t do? Kraugel read Piaro’s feelings from his provocative question and made a serious expression .

“Please check it for yourself . ”

Just as Piaro was always the strongest, Kraugel was the same . He was always aware of his position as the peak of two billion users . He didn’t consider himself inferior to others, and was filled with passion and pride . For him, Piaro was a good friend as well as a mountain that must be surpassed .

“I will apply for a spar . Do you accept?”

“Of course . ”

Piaro nodded . This would allow Kraugel to achieve the quest prerequisites .





[Sword Saint]

Difficulty: SSS

Win against a legend .



It was a simple and clear quest, assuming that he could meet a legend . But the degree of difficulty was high enough to be described as absurd . A person who wasn’t a legend had to win over a legend? This was indeed…

‘Interesting . ’

That’s right . Rather than grumbling or being disgusted like a regular person, he felt delighted . New challenges were necessary to increase his passion . On the other hand, Hurent doubted his ears .

‘Sword saint? A sword saint! It can’t be!’

There were only one other person who was a candidate for a sword saint . Hurent stared at the man in the straw hat . He wanted to look at the skill of a sword saint candidate . He left the field and followed after Piaro and the man .

“Stab . ”

“Hiyap!”

“Cut . ”

“Haap!”

“Chop . ”

“Huriyat~!”

The war 10 days ago had awakened Reidan’s soldiers . Reidan’s soldiers no longer wasted time complaining during the practical training . They needed strength to protect their family, home, lover, and friends!

They couldn’t be lazy because they felt the importance of it through the war . Now, even if Asmophel didn’t force them, the soldiers enthusiastically immersed themselves in training and wanted to increase its intensity .

Their grudge against Grid melted away . They felt greater loyalty than before .

He trained them in anticipation of the enemy’s invasion, showed them a great dance on the battlefield and gave them the most powerful ‘Mass Produced Grid Set,’ so the soldiers felt respect and thanks .

“How about it, young lord? These brave young men are soldiers of Duke Grid . Aren’t they really reliable?”

Asmophel asked with a confident expression . Lord sighed as he watched the soldiers’ training from within Ruby’s arms .

“Abu… Bububu . ”



“…?”

Asmophel was stunned . Lord’s attitude and disgruntled expression seemed like he was saying, ‘The level of the soldiers is poor . ’

‘What?’

The young lord could understand his words and answered them? Furthermore, he could see the strength of the trained soldiers? No, how could a baby sigh in the first place?

‘…Was I dreaming for a moment?’

Asmophel wasn’t convinced and felt confused in many ways . Ruby smiled at him .

“It hasn’t even been a month since my nephew was born . How can he understand your words? Don’t pay attention to the baby’s reactions . ”

“…Yes . ”

Yes, he was interpreting it in the wrong way . Asmophel nodded at Ruby’s words, while Lord pointed elsewhere with his fingers . It was the direction of the magic tower .

“Oh my, does this mean you want to see where the magicians are?”

Ruby asked and Lord nodded . Asmophel saw him and was terrified .

‘You really are aware of our words!’

He heard that Lord was a genius, but he thought it was exaggerated . Now it turned out that the rumor actually downplayed it .

‘Being able to communicate with adults less than a month after being born… There is no doubt that he will be an outstanding scholar or magician in the future . ’

It was understandable that he should think so . Lord didn’t respond to the strong soldiers of Reidan because he didn’t have the knowledge .

‘He was born with intelligence, not the eyes to see martial arts . ’

The moment Asmophel thought this .

“I want to use this place, so can you ask the soldiers to leave?”

Piaro, a long-time friend and commander of Reidan, visited and asked for help . He was supposed to be doing field work at this time, so Asmophel questioned him .

“What will you be doing?”

Piaro pointed to the man in the straw hat who came with him .

“I am going to spar with this friend . ”

“Hoh . ”

Asmophel detected Kraugel’s strength with one glance and expressed interest .

‘He’s difficult to measure . ’

It was the first time he had seen this since Piaro . Asmophel checked the schedule and ordered the soldiers .

“Go around the desert once . ”

The desert around Reidan was vast, but Asmophel spoke it easily . Frankly, it was a tall order . Yet the soldiers replied enthusiastically .

“Yes!”

They would run until they died . This was the current attitude of the Reidan soldiers . The soldiers got ready and left the training grounds at noon .

Then the huge training grounds that could accommodate thousands of people only contained Piaro, Kraugel, Asmophel, Ruby, and Lord . There was a total of six people if Hurent was included .

He thought he had gone unnoticed, but Hurent had been caught from the beginning . Asmophel approached him as he watched from behind a huge tree .

“Outsiders aren’t allowed in this place . ”

“Heok?”

Hurent was startled . He hid himself as much as possible using aura, but he was still found in an instant? This person called Asmophel, he definitely had great skills like Piaro .

‘Where did Grid collect all these monsters?’

Hurent was a famous ranker, but he didn’t have much experience with named NPCs . Acquiring named NPCs as subordinates? He never even imagined it . Named NPCs had a strong influence on Satisfy’s world and each one had a distinct personality, making it hard to become friends with them .

Hurent was admiring Grid when Asmophel urged him .

“Aren’t you going to leave?”

“Hrmm . ”

Hurent didn’t want to step back . He wanted to peek at the skills of the man in the straw hat .

“Can’t I just watch a little bit?”

Asmophel glanced coldly at Hurent .

“Why should I do such a favor for an outsider?”

He disliked repeating the same words . Hurent shrank back at his pressure . A heat spread through his body .

‘When did I become an aura master?’

After being defeated by Grid in the 1st National Competition in five seconds, he hunted and trained repeatedly, raising his aura to the unique rating . He believed he was the strongest . He was sure he could beat the famous Kraugel and Agnus . His confidence soared into the sky .

However, his confidence crashed down after he met Piaro . A legendary farmer had oppressed him with three blows from a hand plow, so he had to question his own abilities .

Therefore .

“I will back off…”

Hurent decided to retreat . This was the first time in his life that he had acted as a mild sheep . Hurent swallowed down his shame and left the training ground . He couldn’t help wondering . He had always reigned as the strongest except for the 5 second event, so why was he so weak here?

This Reidan, it was extraordinary . It felt like Alice in Wonderland .



***

Saintess Ruby .

Grid’s sister and a high school student . Her goal was to aim for a prestigious university, so there was little time to play the game . She played for 30 minutes a day . That’s why her level was still low, despite changing to a hidden class alongside Yerim . She was a real light user .

But she had changed recently . It was since Lord was born . He might be a child in the game, but he was her cute and pretty nephew . Ruby looked at Lord and became fascinated by him . She recently spent more than an hour a day connecting to Satisfy and spending time with Lord .

It was the same today . She was enjoying a peaceful time while holding Lord in her arms . Lord was very happy to spend time with his beautiful aunt . He enjoyed his aunt’s soft and nice scent . But there was a limit for babies .

“Hrmm . ”

Lord started to yawn . It was the signal that it was nap time .

“I must go back now . ”

It was time to return to reality . It happened when Ruby was about to leave the training ground and log out .

Chaaeng!

Kraugel and Piaro clashed with each other .

“Abu?”

The sleepiness suddenly fled from Lord’s eyes .

“Abu! Abuuuu!”

Lord shouted excitedly, waving his short arms . His blue eyes shone as he watched the confrontation between Kraugel and Piaro . Asmophel was astonished when he saw it .

‘The young lord…!’

He didn’t see Reidan’s soldiers as ‘poor’ because he didn’t have the ability to see martial arts .

‘It is because his vision was too high!’

The man in the straw hat wielded his sword at Piaro . And the legendary Piaro . The two people caught Lord’s interest . Asmophel trembled . It was difficult for him to figure out what Lord’s character would grow into later on .

“Abuoo-!”

Lord was touched by the confrontation between the two people and gradually grew . The child could instinctively feel it . The fact that one of his future seven mentors was in front of him .
