Pagma’s Swordsmanship was beyond my imagination . The skills’ capabilities and damage was something I could never imagine .
‘There is one passive skill and multiple active features… I don’t have any mastery skills, so this is really amazing considering my lacking combat skills . ’
Most classes had passive skills such as Weapons Mastery or Armor Mastery . These passive mastery skills increased the performance of weapons and armor . However, Pagma’s Descendant didn’t have any mastery skills at all . It was a drawback and an unsatisfactory part of the class .
“But now it’s different . ”
Pagma’s Swordsmanship increased my attack power and chances of a critical hit when deactivated . This had a similar effect to Weapons Mastery .
‘It is also the performance of Intermediate Weapons Mastery…! The effect disappears when the skill is activated, but that isn’t a huge problem . When activated, five active skills are generated . ’
Pagma’s Swordsmanship! It was a skill worthy of a legendary class! I was now able to take pride in having a legendary class .
‘Although I’ve been disappointed in some production aspects, my class is fraudulent . But it isn’t a combat class . I can play the role of a tanker due to my high resistance to abnormal conditions, so I can become more fraudulent if my combat skills develop . But…’
There was one problem .
“… Why does the skill consume so much mana?”
Currently, I had around 500 mana . I was able to obtain this figure because my intelligence increased when steadily making items . I never invested any stats in it, so I wouldn’t even have 100 mana if it wasn’t for that .
Anyway, the bottom line was that I couldn’t freely use all the available skills at the moment .
“Dammit!”
Wave . Restraint . Link . Kill . Transcend .
A total of five sword techniques . The minimum amount of mana required was 300 . In particular, Kill consumed 1,200 mana and Transcend consumed 1,800 mana . In order to use these skills freely, I needed to invest a lot of stat points in intelligence to increase my mana . But I had never invested any stat points in intelligence since my days as a warrior .
‘With magicians, the higher their intelligence, the higher the magic damage . Therefore, they were willing to invest their points in intelligence . But I…’
I honestly didn’t want to invest stat points into intelligence . In my position, focusing my stat points on strength and stamina was ideal . Strength and stamina meant I could spend a long time making items, and my attack power also increased .
But intelligence? Did I have any skills that were influenced by intelligence? Of course not . I needed to invest in the intelligence stat just to increase my mana!
“Shit…but I can’t not invest in intelligence . ”
That’s right . It didn’t matter how much I complained . I had no choice but to invest my points into intelligence . It was in order to use the sword skills .
“Status window . ”
Name: Grid
Level: 92 (1,531,400/3,798,000)
Class: Pagma’s Descendant
* The probability of adding additional options when making items will increase .
* The probably of item enhancement will increase .
* All equipment items can be worn unconditionally . However, there is a penalty depending on the rating of the item .
When I entered Kesan Canyon yesterday, I was level 85 . After hunting all the monsters in Kesan Canyon, I was now level 92 . And I had 70 stat points .
“I should’ve left it…”
As you could see, I currently had 0 stat points . Why? I invested 70 points into strength .
“It couldn’t be helped, since it made hunting the canyon spiders easier . ”
The canyon spiders had excellent defense . I increased strength in order to do a little bit more damage . But now I regretted it .
“I should’ve collected the stat points until I got Pagma’s Swordsmanship…”
My maximum mana increased by three points every time I gained one point in intelligence . If I still had the 70 stat points from yesterday, I could increase my intelligence and gain a certain amount of mana . It was too bad .
“…I need to raise intelligence . ”
I was very annoyed at the thought of not being able to use the skills I learned because of a lack of mana . Who wouldn’t be nervous at not being able to use some skills? So I made an unusual choice .
“Hunting! Level up! Increase intelligence by raising my level! At the minimum, I need enough mana to use Kill!”
Kill was a skill that deal 1500% of my attack power to a target . But 1,200 mana was required to use Kill . In other words, I needed at least 400 points in intelligence .
“Obtain 400 intelligence through levelling up!”
… It was my rough estimate .
“Hah, this sucks . ”
I started hunting for the first time since becoming Pagma’s Descendant in order to obtain Pagma’s Swordsmanship . I faced the frostlight orcs in the northern snowfields and then the monsters in Kesan Canyon…
It was the fun taste of hunting after a long time .
‘That’s right . I became addicted to Satisfy through this taste . ’
I could feel myself getting stronger through my level increase, and I was proud to see the gold and loot piled up in my inventory . For the moment, I should stay in Kesan Canyon and keep hunting .
But what was the reality? For me, hunting was a luxury . My family was sitting on a pile of debt . My parents and Sehee still couldn’t shake off their anxiety . I needed to make items instead of hunting so that my family could sleep more easily .
“Yes, I should return to Khan’s smithy quickly . Then I can obtain Dainsleif . Isn’t that good?”
I barely suppressed by desire to hunt and left the cave behind the waterfall . I was soothing my sorrow while admiring the stars in the night sky when-
“Kuwaaah!”
A roaring sound was heard from the bottom of the waterfall . There was a huge spray of water and I was surrounded by six mermen .
“… The fish are shaking . ”
Mermen were male mermaids . But unlike the mermaids in fairy tales, Satisfy’s mermen were very ugly . I frowned as I saw the gills on the mermen .
“Are you going to dry out on land and choke to death?”
A merman in the front waved his trident and shouted threateningly . “Don’t worry about that and give me your heart!”
Mermen wanted human hearts for nutrition . They were as terrible as their appearance .
‘Six mermen…’
The mermen adjusted to the natural environment without much difficulty . Therefore, they were distributed throughout the continent . But the mermen living in Kesan Canyon were the most notorious . The mermen of Kesan Canyon had a level of 175, known to be one of the highest levels among the mermen on the continent .
‘The mermen are especially strong in the water . There are six of them…’
Before I learned Pagma’s Swordsmanship, I would be trying to run away from this place . But things were different now . I raised the +8 Ideal Dagger which shone a darker blue in the darkness . I wasn’t going to give the mermen my heart .
“You want to take my heart? Or should I just eat all of you?”
A merman snorted . “Bah! This human is bluffing . ”
Swaaah .
The mermen moved on the water at a tremendous speed, like a surfboard meeting a wave . I waited for them to get close to me . Just before a trident was going to hit my body, “Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Restraint!”
At the moment, my body started dancing . The blue light radiating from the Ideal Dagger shone in the moonlight as my body moved quietly . Then!
“…!!”
The mermen’s rush stopped, like it was originally a lie . The mermen acted restless and struggled to get away from me . I hurriedly linked some skills before they could escape from the influence of Restraint .
“Blacksmith’s Rage!”
[Blacksmith’s Rage has been activated . Your attack power and attack speed will increase significantly for 20 seconds . ]
“Wind Blast!”
Kwa kwa kwa kwang!
“Kyaak!”
The blade of wind scraped against the mermen’s upper bodies .
[You have dealt 3,750 damage to the target . ]
[You have dealt 3,802 damage to the target . ]
Mermen had excellent defense on their lower bodies which were covered in scales, but their human upper bodies were weaker . Therefore, attacks on the upper body were very painful . I attacked in rapid succession before stopping .
‘Shit, I ran out of mana . ’
I quickly opened my inventory and took out an inferior mana recovery potion . After confirming that my mana had fully recovered, I deactivated Pagma’s Swordsmanship . Then I used the skill I developed .
“Wind of Justice!”
Pepeng! Pepepepeng!
Wind of Justice exerted a powerful destructive blast that couldn’t be compare to Wind Blast . By deactivating Pagma’s Swordsmanship, my attack power and chances of a critical hit increased, making the destructive power more enormous .
Wind of Justice swept over the mermen from side to side, and those struck in the upper body couldn’t even scream .
“Quick Movements!”
[Quick Movements has been activated . Your agility and evasion rate will increase significantly for 1 minute . ]
Splash splash!
I suddenly plunged into the mermen . Then I started to slash at their upper bodies with the +8 Ideal Dagger .
