The Genius Blacksmith's Game
Comparison (2)
Rolling
Shhhhhh-
On the tree, behind the bush, behind the rock.
The members of the Shadowless Corps were hiding in various places under cover.
Concealing one's presence and remaining unfazed was a fundamental skill for an assassin.
These members of the Shadowless Corps were those who secretly snuck into barracks where the night dew had fallen and killed more than 100 soldiers each. It was a basic experiment to select them, and they are the ones who became stronger through it.
Such members of the Shadowless Corps caused unrest in various places.
Muyeongdan clan head Muyeongju Luban.
A colleague's head rolls in front of him, who did not even feel the need to hide.
What was that just now?
The attacks flowed like water and were too fast and accurate.
The mountain keeper was clearly shabby-looking.
He was wearing comfortable cloth clothes for climbing the mountain.
They were drenched in sweat from climbing the mountain several times, each holding a basket on their backs.
He was nothing more than a mountain keeper.
However, the movement just moments ago was clearly not something that could be called a mountain keeper.
What are these guys?
The Sky of Swords were listening to the announcement.
[A new story begins.]
[Sudden Quest: Mountain Keeper and Swordsman spawns.]
Ding!
[Sudden Quest: Mountain Keeper and Swordsman.]
Grade: S
Restriction: Mountain Keeper.
Reward: Level up 2.
Penalty on failure: License's sorrow.
Description: The Shadowless Order of the Parion Empire is attempting to secretly infiltrate the Land of Hyun using the mountains. They are planning to assassinate countless people in the Land of Hyun and return. As a mountain guardian and swordsman, please protect the mountains.
The power of the name Parion Empire made the Sword Sky meet their eyes.
[Laval: What shall we do? It is none other than the Parion Empire. Actually, we do have no connection with the current country.]
Whether they perished or died, it had nothing to do with them.
In fact, they have only fought Hyunsu once.
They had suffered a crushing defeat, and in fact, their relationship was nothing more than an awkward one rather than a good one.
[Art: Then why did you just blow my head off out of nowhere? Saying it was because I attacked first doesn't suit you. Someone like you could have dodged it, and we had plenty of time to tear up the return scroll.]
Laval did not answer for a moment, and the reason was selfish.
[Laval: I didn't want to see the elder sad.]
[Devil: Actually, I thought so too. Besides, didn't you save us once?]
[Art: … … Then let's do this. Let's pretend we fought because the 2 level-ups we'd get as a reward looked too good.]
Of course, the reward of leveling up by 2 was sweet.
However, it was nothing more than a simple excuse.
It is to ensure that the old man who saved us and made us mountain keepers does not feel sad.
[Art: Let's begin.]
After putting the hoes they had picked up to gather herbs into their inventories, they each took out their swords.
Some wielded greatswords, some dual swords, and others longswords.
They became reliable partners while climbing the mountain.
[The Mountain Keeper's Pride.]
Kugugugugugu-
As they drew their weapons, a massive sense of pressure swept across the entire mountain.
Shhhhh-
The trees vibrated and the bushes shook.
It is a status effect that activates only when they are together on the mountain.
As they suddenly drew their swords, Luban realized that something was going wrong and tried to signal them.
However, they were faster.
Sound of wild animals.
Kwoooooo!
Kiiieeee!
Grrrrrrr!
A deafening roar struck Luban and the entire Muyeongdan.
Assassins sometimes move following the sound.
As my hearing was paralyzed, it felt as if all the nerves in my body were stiffening.
However, Luban began to move rapidly, and the entire Muyoungdan, who had been hiding here and there, formed a battle formation and moved just as they had trained dozens of times.
At that moment.
Mountain bouncing.
Boom-!!
Something strange happened.
The moment Art struck the ground with all his might, the terrain the Muyoungdan were standing on shook, causing them to lose their center of gravity.
At that moment, Laval tilted his sword back and swung it.
Peak Sword.
You can feel the wind through your skin, but you can also feel it through sound.
The members of the Shadowless Squad, having lost their center of gravity, realize the moment they try to feel the wind on their skin.
The fierce wind blowing was carried along with the dark energy.
Kukwakwakwakwakwakwak-!
Two members of the Shadowless Sect were torn to shreds, and several members of the Shadowless Sect curled up to minimize the damage.
Luban, who ran while watching the Shadowless Member scatter into gray, stabbed the vital spot of Laval, who was using the Peak Sword.
But Laval.
I was in charge of the physical load on this mountain, and I learned various things during that time.
It's not moving?
The dagger stuck in it didn't move at all.
Rather.
Crunch-
The chilling sound of the dagger shattering from Laval's body rang out.
“Wild boar charge.”
Kuwakwakwakwakwang-!
Laval stomped hard on the ground and pushed Luban back.
The surrounding ground twisted, causing splash damage.
Leaving the two behind, Devil, who had dual swords strapped to his waist, sprang forward quickly.
Collecting poisonous mushrooms.
At that moment, dozens of species of poisonous mushrooms nestled on trees all over the mountain rose into the air.
“……?”
The members of the Shadowless Squad rushed at the mountain keeper and were taken aback.
Poisonous mushroom explosion.
Boom!
The poisonous mushrooms that had risen into the air burst out.
It turned into powder and penetrated their respiratory systems.
Even though I definitely didn't eat it…
[You have contracted sneezing bacteria.]
[You have contracted black coliform bacteria.]
[You have contracted Jo Yong-gyun.]
“Kuheeeek!”
“Ugh, cough… S-suffocate, ahhh!”
They were startled by the poison that entered their respiratory system, and Devil's dual swords slashed at Muyoungdan, who was clutching his neck or looking pale.
And instantly.
The mountain at night.
Swooooooong-!
The moment Hanson, holding a longsword, muttered, the entire mountain was engulfed in darkness.
The mountain at night is a darker place than any other mountain.
In such a place, having lost their voice to the Peak Sword, they even lost their eyes.
However, only Luban could see everything.
But I couldn't do anything.
Art.
The mountain's vital energy was gathering at the tip of his greatsword as he raised it high toward the sky.
Shhhhhhh-
A mountain climbed hundreds of times grants strength to a human who has become one with the mountain.
Rrrrrrrrr-
A skill in which the power of the mountain is added to his original power.
“One sword in the middle of a mountain.”
Kuwaaaaaaak-!
He swings his greatsword wildly and cuts it down in a single stroke.
Members of the Shadowless Corps who could not escape within a 50m radius are split in half.
Trees, rocks, and even the bushes split open, scattering the blood of the Shadowless Sect members.
“Sever without dwelling.”
Crash-!
At that moment, Luban swung his newly drawn dagger from a distance.
Based on the 'advantage of hitting the enemy directly without touching,' holes were pierced through various parts of Art's body.
“Art!”
“……How can damage be dealt without even touching?”
Also, darkness eventually becomes the stage for assassins.
Even if it is the night of the mountain keepers.
Shadowless Moon Step.
The Shadowless Moon Step, mastered by the entire Shadowless Group, was activated.
The moonlight rose in the sky and shines on the mountain keepers.
Dozens of memorized weapons poured out toward the target like a frenzy.
Pupupupupupupupu-
Puff puff puff puff-
Dozens of daggers, shurikens, and throwing stars pierced the sky of swords.
Just when I thought we might be annihilated at any moment due to the ceaseless barrage of ammo.
“Ugh, ugh…….”
Art moved quickly. He hugged his comrade Laval from behind, appearing as though he would take the hidden weapon in his place, but… … .
"bait."
I pushed him hard to make him focus on memorization.
"How could he do such a thing?" It was just as Luban was frowning.
Laval grinned, his mind focused on memorization.
It's a fake!
The dozens of hidden weapons embedded in Laval's body bounced back at the members of the Shadowless Order the moment he took a deep breath and exhaled.
Pupupupupupupu-
Puff puff puff puff puff-!!!
Several members of the Shadowless Corps were once again reduced to ashes and scattered, and Laval was also reduced to ashes along with them.
[Laval: I'm leaving the rest to you.]
[Laval has been forcibly logged out.]
One mountain keeper met his death, but Luban could not simply laugh.
Nearly half of the Shadowless Corps he had raised were already dead.
The fortunate thing is that most of the enemies are exhausted.
Graphite sleep.
The deadly sword energy extended by the members of the Shadowless Sect enveloped the mountain guardians like smoke, tearing their bodies to shreds.
Nevertheless, the mountain keepers held out and counterattacked.
Seokpung Chase.
His sword energy, emerging from behind the rock, tore the assassins to shreds.
This stone wind chase again.
It was a sword energy that chased its target like a guided missile.
He killed seven assassins and he too turned to ashes and scattered.
And the moment Hanson gathered the mountain's spirit at the tip of his sword and swung it.
Rrrrrrrrr-!
The entire space was engulfed in flames, and the members of the Shadowless Sect scattered into ashes.
Phew, pfft pfft, thwack-
Luban pierced his neck several times.
He killed even Hanson without caring that the remnants of fire remained in his body.
All that remained was the mountain keeper holding a greatsword.
The remaining assassins and Luban join forces.
especially…….
“Wow, legends really are strong…….”
Even Art had never fought against a super-named NPC.
At the point where Art's HP was reduced to a mere 8% as he was being wildly slashed and torn apart by Luban and the remaining members of the Shadowless Order.
Peak River.
Art's new secret technique, unlocked while fighting the Rock Boar and Rock Wolf, unfolds.
[Your HP has become 0.]
It is a power that activates even at the moment of forced logout.
It is the power to swing a greatsword wildly and contain all enemies within the space it is swung.
Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa bang-!
The remaining members of the Shadowless Corps scattered.
Ooh, this is dangerous… …
That moment when even the legend, Luban, felt his life was in danger.
Art was forcibly logged out and disappeared.
Luban, covered in blood from head to toe, slumped down.
The legendary group Muyoungdan, which had been nurtured for a long time, was annihilated overnight.
And that too to the 'mountain keepers'.
"You're saying they are strangers? Being strangers means they're coming back, doesn't it?"
5,000 elite troops are scheduled to assault this place in 12 hours.
Must be known.
Luban mustered his last ounce of strength and headed in the opposite direction of the mountain.
It is to tell them to charge immediately now that the mountain keepers are dead at their base.
Luban paused as he was walking in a hurry.
Unlike them earlier, there was an old man who looked like a real mountain keeper.
He was skinny and looked over 70 this year.
There was no time to worry about the mountain keeper anymore.
Luban hurried past the old man and stood on the hill, and Luban was astonished.
“…….”
5,000 elite troops.
The strongest army of the Parion Empire, capable of sweeping away an entire territory in a single blow, had been annihilated.
Luban turned his head.
Before I knew it?
The old man's sword, which had approached silently, struck Luban's head against the ground, and he realized it belatedly.
As long as the mountain keeper is there, the country of the prefecture cannot be entered through the mountains.
