Dugun dugun.
His heart was beating wildly. Taeng’s buffs and Giant’s Power that lasted five minutes were like drugs to Hyeonu. He took deep breaths. This power had to be used in the spar against Lebron.
[The stat ‘fighting energy’ has caused your stats to rise.]
[The other party is stronger than you.]
[There will be an additional stat increase.]
‘Go.’
The longsword on Hyeonu’s shoulder was swung out. It moved like lightning toward Lebron’s shoulder. Every time the sword passed, the air cried out. It was like the hiss of a snake. This only lasted a moment. The serpent was trampled on and crushed by the branch of an ent.
Lebron’s wooden sword moved quietly. Naturally, it deflected Hyeonu’s sword.
‘I can’t let him do this.’
Hyeonu injected magic power into his longsword. He was going to suppress Lebron with force. Yet once Lebron injected strength into his wooden sword, Hyeonu was thrown back without any power.
‘As expected, I can’t do it with force?’
Then let’s go with a melee. Hyeonu thought about how the wooden sword was shorter than his longsword. Hyeonu approached Lebron’s side using Bash. His longsword swept over Lebron’s side.
“Hoh?”
‘A decent knight can’t even touch me like this?’
Lebron marveled at Hyeonu’s attack. He would give this attack 80 out of 100 points. By Lebron’s standards, 80 points was a very high score. The highest score Lebron had given to adventurers so far was 50.
‘This guy, he isn’t a just a showy person.’
Hyeonu’s combat sense was enormous. Lebron became a bit more serious. This person was different from the garbage Lebron had faced so far. “You—I like you.”
An explosive force burst out from Lebron. Now he looked like he was worthy of being the best knight of the empire.
Hyeonu was prepared. He had thought about how to link his attacks after his longsword cut Lebron. However, the best knight of the empire went first. Hyeonu’s follow-up blow was deflected.
After that, not a single one of Hyeonu’s attacks landed a hit. Lebron’s pressure was too great. In particular, the monstrous pressure interfered with his movements. Hyeonu rushed forward again, swinging his sword back and forth while also using his fists and feet. He attempted all manner of attacks.
Nevertheless, Lebron’s defense was like a steel wall. It was similar to the scene of an action movie. This fit really well.
Hyeonu checked the time remaining on his buffs. There was only one minute left.
‘I can’t do this.’
“Wah!!!” Hyeonu roared. He only had 30 seconds left. After that...
He wouldn’t be able to do anything.
Lebron smiled when he saw Hyeonu. He read Hyeonu’s intentions.
‘This is the last one. There’s no going back.’
This person was showing a willingness to kill. It was the determination to hurt Lebron in this confrontation.
‘Okay. I’ll take it. Let’s play just once.’
Lebron lowered his sword toward the ground. The momentum pressing on Hyeonu was also gone. Lebron was in a ‘come and see’ posture.
“This is the last one,” Hyeonu declared to Lebron.
***
Hyeonu’s mind was blank. His body was in pain, and he had no energy like he had been exercising for hours.
“Hah.” He didn’t even have the strength to speak.
Hyeonu had burned up everything all of his energy in five minutes. ‘I burned it all up. All of it.’
Lebron approached the repeatedly gasping Hyeonu.
“Brilliant. I acknowledge those skills,” Lebron praised Hyeonu while handing him a bottle.
Hyeonu wanted to answer, but his voice didn’t come out. It wasn’t until after he took a long gulp of water that his voice came out. “Uh... Thank you very much.”
“You are the tenth adventurer to come visit me.”
‘10 people? Khan, you shouldn’t do this.’ Hyeonu was dismayed. He had thought he was the only one who had received the gold coin.
Lebron read Hyeonu’s expression and explained the circ.u.mstances, “Based on your expression, do you think Khan gave that coin out 10 times? I was the one who gave the gold coins to 10 people, including Khan. Moreover, a total of nine coins have been returned as of yesterday. Your gold coin is the last.”
“The last one...” Hyeonu murmured in a low voice. Nine people had already met Lebron. This was limited to warrior players. Other classes would have NPCs similar to Lebron, so the number would grow exponentially.
“Still, you’re the best. Even if the previous nine people merged together, they wouldn’t be able to be a match for you. Take pride in this.”
There was a flood of messages in front of Hyeonu’s eyes after he heard Lebron’s words.

[New Star Acknowledged by Lebron]
[-A title given to adventurers acknowledged by Lebron, best knight of the Yusma Empire.

‘A title? It is as amazing as expected.’ Hyeonu savored every word. Lebron, who had been watching Hyeonu, handed him a book. “Additionally, this is what I promised to give you. Don’t be sorry that it is just one book. It is a set rule, so I can’t change it.”
‘Master of Combat’ was the title on the cover of the book. Hyeonu was puzzled. ‘Is it a combat-related skill?’
Going off the title alone, he couldn’t tell if it was a continuous or buff type skill and didn’t immediately know what it did. Still, his worries didn’t last long. He opened the skill book and learned it. His personality meant he couldn’t bear the frustration of waiting to use it.

“A scam...” Hyeonu admired it. This skill was handed to him so casually.
