Lord of the Skill

Player's Essentials

* gasp *

As soon as the last Lizardman was beheaded, a red notification window appeared overhead.

[Monster Wave: End]

“D-finally...! ”

As soon as people saw the message, they sat there as if they were relieved.

“I'm alive…!! ”

“Ahhhh!!! ”

“I won!! ”

Unlike those who shout, Heatless thought, looking at the corpse of the monsters that surrounded him.

‘Finally……. ’

The fever settles in place on a wobbly bridge. As the tension that was pulling him firmly relaxed, fatigue flooded in, just like everyone else.

“Phew……. ”

But his heart resounded stronger than his fatigue.

I want to be... stronger. ’

Now he's even worse than he was 15 years ago.

Seeing the cheerful people, the fever began to arouse greed.

‘Now I think I can pull up the sword I achieved in my past life in a month. ’

A sword that has kept me alive on the battlefield for 15 years.

It may not have been a big deal then, but it's different now.

And that training technique is already in your head.

“Status window.”

Name: Steel Heat Rank: E Strength: 56 (+5) Agility: 49 HP: 60 Magic Power: 0 [Lycan Abandoned Mine First Discovered: 4 days] Not Applied [First Slash Creator] Slash Mastery: 27% (E rank) Steel Slash: 15% Bandage: 15% (E rank)

Heatless looks up at his status, slightly raising his jaw.

I remembered that his last strength reading was at most 135 before he died.

‘I came close to that half in just a few days. ’

Incredible growth rate.

If it was a past life, it was a reality I had never even dreamed of.

‘I had no choice but to destroy the Abandoned Mine. You could have won points if you'd hunted for a few more days. ’

Heatless tasted better.

But that didn't concern me.

Fifteen years of memories.

It meant knowing the location of undiscovered dungeons, as well as the difficulty of the dungeons.

‘All clear. ’

It was fewer to know than Kato Yuuna, the future Hidden Eater.

I cannot be satisfied with just one obstruction.

There were many dungeons waiting for him that had not yet been opened.

‘But now……. ’

I could hear the eyes of the feeble.

A man walked slowly outside the fence, and came into his eyes.

“Are you all right?”

Kang Chan-suk.

“Thank you very much. ”

Standing this close, I felt a slight tingling sensation of heat and the height of a larger orb than myself.

I didn't know because I had always seen it from afar.

‘This is how I met him. ’

Kang Chan-suk nods as if he already knows his name.

“I'm alive because of you. I don't know how to repay you... ”

He shakes his hand and tilts his head as he looks at the feeble hand.

“Is there anything strange...? ”

“No, I'm not.”

Heatless smiles.

You don't even know what it means to have your arms intact.

“Well, if you want to repay me, can you help me get up?" As you can see... ”

At his words, he grins and tugs at the arm of the feeble who is sitting.

I thought you were a duo.

When I looked at him like this, I thought that he was just like them.

“Ugh…… ”

The moment I held hands, Kang Chan-suk slightly frowned.

Red blood was on the palm of his feverless hand.

“That's a nasty cut. ”

“No, thank you. ”

Looking at the stone that hides your hand, the heat that rises from your seat pulls out the old bandage from your pocket.

“Wait a minute.”

Luckily, the palm turned red like it was blistered and swept.

The fever was new when I saw the wound.

Because you did, too.

“This is because the way to hold the sword is wrong. especially when it comes to weight-bearing attitudes. ”

“I've never seen a sword like that. Did you get that skill book? ”

Kang Chan-suk said so, looking at the face of inferiority. An artificial face that looks younger than itself, no matter how much you look.

Then the answer is one.

A skill book.

Unlike Production Skills learned through iterative training, Combat Skills can be obtained by randomly dropping them from monsters.

Kang Chan-suk only heard through the wind.

Only a handful of people acquire skill books from monsters only half a year after the start of the Seven Thrones.

The one who climbs to the S-ranker is now just fighting with pure instinct.

However, the relaxation of living on the battlefield for many years in a man who was only twenty years old was not just about gaining skills.

“It's nothing. ”

Heatless said as if it wasn't obvious to ask.

“Thank you…. ”

However, I felt that the bandage was so thorough that the pain disappeared in an instant.

Kang Chan-suk glanced at his hand curiously, clenching his fist a few times.

“Thanks to you, we've had time to restore the Node. A lot of people got hurt... ”

A sigh of relief.

At that moment.

“You'd better give up on the Node. ”

“Yes?”

He wrapped a bandage around his other hand and said that his fever was a passing tune. However, the contents of the sentence were never to be ignored.

“You won't be able to defend it. ”

“What the……. We've only just settled here. Don't you see them? ”

Behind Kang Chan-suk.

Inside the Node, wounded people stood looking at you two.

Knng.

“Oops?! ”

The moment I tied the bandage, Kang Chan-suk flinched in pain.

“It's not over. ”

Gulp.

Kang Chan-suk swallowed dry water without even knowing it.

“Tomorrow.”

Reminds me of that day.

It still gives me the creeps.

For the first time since mankind was recruited at Seven Thrones…….

“Field name. Tribe lords will be summoned across the continent. ”

Wave 4 Monster Invasion.

It's not the same as before.

“Th-that's ………. ”

Kang Chan-suk chewed on the feeble words as if he had forgotten the pain in his palm.

“You won't be able to stop it this time. ”

The group of Lizardmen, a class E monster, couldn't escape the classics like this.

But what if there were more bosses?

‘Extinction……. ’

He sensed that the words of infertility were not a joke.

Kang Chan-suk bit his lips tightly.

“Then how.... ”

There are still people inside the Node. Some were not combat-ready.

You cannot defend them with your own strength.

Kang Chan-suk bit his lip unknowingly.

“It's not that there are no answers. ”

“Yes?”

At that moment, he kicked the curve on his back with a seemingly dull face.

“A champion.”
