Chapter 97: Niflheimr (9) (2)
I dont know how many hours I swung my sword.
I felt my body getting as heavy as wet cotton. It was a feeling I hadnt experienced much since my stamina exceeded 40. Thanks to the healing power, it was only to this extent. If it had been in a mission, I would have collapsed from exhaustion.
This guy is a real monster.
We had practiced for at least three hours.
But Ridgions posture remained unchanged. Even though I had known it when he was a master, feeling it firsthand was sickening.
Indeed.
It wasnt an exaggeration.
Among the three heroes who fought Seris, Ridgion was the only one with a chance of winning.
A specialist in small-scale and large-scale battles.
Ridgion boasted an almost unbeatable advantage when facing human-type opponents.
Is it absurd to assess it like this when he hasnt even shown me his true strength?
I let out a bitter laugh and sat down in the chair. When I looked to the side, I saw a wooden doll for practice. I dont know when it appeared, but it seems something Nisled would prepare. She probably finished setting up and had disappeared.
Are you satisfied?
Ridgion said.
I knew full well that I wasnt good enough.
Even if you search through all of Mobius, you can count on one hand the number of 3-star heroes of the same level that can compete with the Master.
Theres no need for pointless exaggeration. I want to hear your real opinion.
Ridgion said.
If the time is one month it will be difficult to make real progress.
So?
To prepare for what comes after you return, you should perfect the basics.
Ridgion said.
Currently, Masters greatest strength is the ability to use Frenzy without losing control. The reason this is possible is probably
Because Im half-hero, half-master.
Yes. Masters current state is similar to 7-Heroes.
Ridgion nodded.
I recalled my skill status.
Composure and Frenzy. Skills that a single hero couldnt learn at the same time naturally complemented each other. It was clearly a bug character. It had exceeded the systems restrictions.
Its hard to say that Im different from those guys.
All 7-Star heroes exceed level 100.
Their skills should be in a similar state to mine. Skills that couldnt be combined are now merging, and skills that couldnt be separated are splitting apart. Limited imprint slots seem to be unlimited.
Thats ridiculous.
It was truly a balance collapse.
Based on our investigation here, theres one more characteristic of the 7-Star Heroes.
What is it?
The synthetic efficiency is significant., Ridgion said. When a hero receives the data of a sacrifice, over 90% of the information is lost during the transfer process. Even if a hero with a power of 100 is used as a sacrifice, the target hero can only become as strong as 10.
Of course, 10 is a high estimate. On average, the data loss rate for synthetic is over 95%.
The 7-Star is different.
Ridgion put his fist on his chin and fell into thought for a few seconds before saying, In Masters swordsmanship there are traces of formal training.
Hmm?
Fundamentally, it feels rough and barbaric, honed in practical combat, but in some movements, occasionally, those aspects can be seen.
Ridgion opened his mouth.
Master, who was from Earth, hadnt received swordsmanship training.
In that case
Yes, its mixed into Masters swordsmanship. The knights characteristics.
I closed my eyes.
The image of someone came to mind. A female knight who used precise and deadly swordsmanship to defeat enemies.
Shey Radastery.
(T/N: The female 4-Star Hero in the first few chapters.)
She, who was several times stronger than me at that time, had been synthesized into me due to Masters simple mistake.
Is that so?
I muttered.
I didnt know when I was a 1-Star Hero. But after reaching 2-Star class, sometimes when I swung my sword, I felt a strange sensation, as if there was something else in my movements.
Indeed.
Ridgion nodded.
He seemed to have guessed that a high-class hero had been synthesized into me.
Is all my talent because of that?
No, its not. If that were the case, Masters swordsmanship would be completely different now. It does have an influence, but its not that significant. However
Ridgion chuckled lightly.
If you can consciously utilize it, it will be a great help to Master.
Ridgion drew his sword from the ground.
I dont know to whom it belonged, but when I saw it, it seemed to have reached the intermediate level.
It was an intermediate swordsmanship.
Her precise thrusts were outstanding.
I still remember how she pierced the goblins jugular vein as if measuring it.
Can you try using that persons swordsmanship?
Ill try.
I got up from my seat.
It seemed that Sheys skills had indeed inadvertently helped my growth. I had sometimes felt a strange sensation when I swung my sword.
If its true that Im influenced by that woman.
There would be both advantages and disadvantages.
However, as Ridgion had said, depending on how it was used, it had the potential to be very powerful.
I raised the sword and focused my breath.
Ridgions posture remained the same as before. He held his sword still and watched me.
Consciously.
I recalled the memory.
It was fleeting, but there was something I could feel.
Didnt she say something?
What Shey had said just before disappearing.
At that time, I couldnt understand its meaning.
Im coming.
I pivoted my foot.
My body shot out like an arrow.
Come.
A surge of energy erupted around my heart and spread throughout my body.
I consciously grasped it. Made it mine.
And then
My body moved naturally.
[Skill Awakening!]
[Han ()s Low-level Swordsmanship has reached Lv.9!]
Swoosh!
A perfect thrust surged forward.
A smile formed at the corner of Ridgions mouth.
