The Second Alien (2)
After breaking the Psychic Force, Ryu Han-bin stared at Alejandro.
‘You mean you believed in that?’
Detailed information about his necklace appeared in the Guidelines.
[Polymorph Necklace (Unique Item)
Gives the wearer the ability to mimic humans. The form is maintained for as long as the necklace is worn.
When used on Dragons, the opponent will be imprisoned in their human form for a day.
No conditions of use. Infinite number of uses.]
Besides Magic Tools and Artifacts, there were Unique Items in this world.
Unique Items were neither made by Latnains nor looted from Dungeons.
The Aliens favored by Omphalos due to the destruction they’ve done to the world received Unique Items, though such occasions were rare.
Such items were rumored to have no usage limit or even level requirement.
Unique Items could give a powerless child ability to kill seasoned warriors.
However, their existence was considered one of the worst taboos on the Latna Continent.
‘Is that why he’s so calm?’
It was a terrifying item for Dragons, but to Ryu Han-bin, it was nothing but garbage.
After unsheathing his weapon, he stood in front of Artis, blocking him from Alejandro.
Han-bin looked at Artis over his shoulders.
“Hey, put on some clothes. You’ve been taking them off way too often lately.”
“You think I want to?”
Feeling embarrassed, Artis hurriedly wore a new robe.
“That’s why I can’t wear expensive clothes! I always tear them apart..”
Alejandro could only look at them blankly.
“Isn’t he supposed to be only level 5?”
A level 5 Hunter broke his Psychic Force?
That was ridiculous.
However, there was no way he could use Magical Tools or Artifacts.
He wouldn’t be qualified, after all.
“Are you really a Valtara warrior?”
No, he couldn’t be.
If he were a Valtara warrior, his level would’ve been a lot higher.
“You! You must be a Suitor!”
Alejandro couldn’t help but yell.
While they couldn’t alter it, there was an Alien in the past who could make the system display their level as unknown.
“Is this a Guidelines’ special function? Or is it a Unique Item with a level control ability?”
Ryu Han-bin inwardly smiled.
Even Alejandro, who was an Alien like him, became confused upon seeing Ryu Han-bin.
That alone was a piece of really crucial information.
‘Based on his reaction, it seems like my kind of case is unusual even among themselves.’
However, he feigned ignorance.
“What bullshit are you talking about? I am just unique, you Alien!”
“You’re really not a Suitor? But I’ve never heard of any Latnain that could hide their level.”
Upset, Alejandro hastily unsheathed his swords again.
“It doesn’t matter!”
Unlike the young Fire Dragon, he had no way of knowing the giant’s level.
He couldn’t fully grasp just how powerful he really was.
However, Alejandro didn’t care. The giant couldn’t be any stronger than him, who has leveled up in this world for decades!
“I’ll just capture you along with that Dragon. Leslie would be delighted.”
With a confident look, he dashed forward.
“Taaats!”
* * *
Alejandro’s movements were different from before.
In an instant, he had reached Ryu Han-bin and had swung his twin blades.
His attacks were so swift it made his weapons look like a blur.
Ryu Han-bin quickly blocked the weapons with his greatsword.
Daang!
The black greatsword and Alejandro’s twin blades clashed against each other and remained in a deadlock.
Feeling the pressure on his arms, Han-bin’s brows furrowed.
‘He’s pretty good.’
It was the first time since he fell into this world that he felt such intense pressure.
It surprised him how a small, ordinary-looking middle-aged man could have that much power.
‘Still, he’s not strong enough for me to be unable to withstand his attack.’
While it was the first time he’s met such an opponent in Latna, he had met far stronger monsters during his days in the Rocky Mountain!
“Hump!”
With a brief shout, Ryu Han-bin deflected Alejandro’s weapons.
He then lifted his greatsword above his head and cleaved it down at his enemy.
It caused the ground to explode and split in two.
Alejandro screamed upon being hit by the explosion.
“Ugh!”
He managed to avoid the blow itself, but his body still felt it.
That single swing had enough power to send a shockwave that could hurt him.
‘What was that? Aura?”
Han-bin continued to charge at Alejandro, not giving him time to think.
He propelled himself forward and attempted to cut the man diagonally from below.
Alejandro jumped backward and took a huge turn to avoid the attack.
It was time for Alejandro to avoid the attack by jumping and making a big turn.
‘Got him!’
Grinning with satisfaction, Ryu Han-bin reversed the course of his swing.
The elevated sword struck down like a lightning strike.
“Ugh!”
Frightened, Alejandro activated his skill.
-Sword of Water Flow!
Alejandro’s swords looked as if they were elasticated to create beautiful coils around the greatsword’s blade. The swords then changed the trajectory of Han-bin’s attack.
Flash!
Using an elegant sword dance, he quickly escaped from the crisis.
Han-bin’s eyes widened.
It was the first time he had seen a technique that could make him miss.
‘What was that just now?’
When he activated his skill, Alejandro’s body moved by itself.
The timing, speed, and trajectory of the sword and the body’s breathing and posture must all be perfect for it to work, yet Alejandro’s body moved on its own to execute the technique?
‘Of course, having a high level must be convenient!’
With admiration, Ryu Han-bin immediately readied his sword again.
He created yet another terrifying blow aimed at his opponent.
‘How can you even make an attack like that from your position? What happened to the law of physics?’
Confused, Alejandro activated the same skill.
-Sword of Water Flow!
Just like the first time, the elegant sword dance caused Ryu Han-bin’s attack to miss.
There was no reason for him to be surprised anymore since he had already seen it happen before.
Again, Han-bin readied his sword and released another strike.
This time, Alejandro’s perception failed to keep up with Ryu Han-bin’s attack.
He also missed the timing to activate the sword technique.
“Ugh, aaaaaaa!”
In a hurry, Alejandro stepped back and crossed his twin swords overhead.
“Protective Barrier!”
The translucent magical barrier blocked the attack.
However, it didn’t last long before it was completely smashed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
