Lord of the Skill

At the Grave

The scorching sun is as hot as burning dry sand.

Shhhhhh...!!

A red flame sliding through the sky slowly whirls through the air and stops.

Even the falcons, who were the masters of the sky, scattered their food as if they were fleeing in the hot flames.

“Phew……. ”

To conceal the heat, the person who came down from the flame surge took off the turban he had saved in the village.

And the girl sitting behind it.

Lianze looks at the sponge he was riding with a cohesive look of anxiety and wonder several times, then descends along the heat.

“There you are.”

The large cave in front of him was hidden in the sand mountains, but it was clearly visible from afar.

It took me quite a while to walk, seeing that it took me less than an hour to get to the surface.

“The Ordo Spear doesn't seem to be particularly cautious considering that the family heiress knows where to train, even a tribal child. ”

“If you don't know, don't do anything. This wasn't the only place the Changs used to use it. This place has existed since ancient times, and anyone born in the South knows it. ”

“Hmm, really? ”

“Now that the Lord is dead, it's temporarily sealed off.... It opens when the winner of the stadium comes out. ”

“So only the winners can enter here? ”

Lianz nods at a feeble question.

“Yes. Ordo Chang of the Chang family, 33, 34, 35 in a row, also said he was blocked at the heart of the temple. That's why he made the sword to help a little bit. ”

Lianze spoke proudly of three victories.

“I see.”

But the more you listen to her, the more doubtful her fever is.

‘I don't know the difficulty level of the Temple, but at least I can reach the heart...' I don't understand that Kato Yu-na killed me even more. ’

Do you think she has any skills she doesn't know about?

‘It's not impossible. Skills can be obtained through a skill book. ’

Kato Yurana is known to the world because she announced the existence of Hidden Piece along with her attack method after the second term.

The fever had never known of her march before.

In fact, it wasn't until she reached the end of the spire that she realized what her first job was.

Whatever skills or abilities she possessed, she didn't know anything about the existence of Kato Yurana at this time.

“You said the arena was once a place to fight the forces of your tribes to avoid war, right? ”

“That's right."

“So, what happened after we got here? ”

A feverless question, Lianze sighed and said.

“What's going on? It's what it looks like. The death of the owner by an outsider and even the stadium is yours. ”

The young woman said with a sharp voice, knowing it wasn't her fault.

“That's why I have to ask an outsider to do this. ”

“Is that a complaint? ”

“ ……. ”

“Be strong, then. To the extent that outsiders won't lose. That's it.”

Lianze wanted to say something, but he couldn't answer.

You lose because you are weak.

It's a cruel thing I want to deny, but can't deny.

Jubbuck, Jubbuck.

The fever stopped as I tried to set my foot in front of the temple.

“Wait, let me ask you one question. You said the challengers were fighting each other in the stadium. ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“Then what about the fighters on the pitch, not the challengers? ”

“Fighter? What do you mean? ”

Lianze tilts his head at the words of the feeble, as if he really knew nothing.

“Do you know this guy, the degenerative prosecutor? ”

Boss on the last floor of the Southern stadium.

But Liang shakes his head.

“Hmm……. ”

“What's that? ”

“No, nothing. ”

“What? What do you know? ”

The fever that he had been talking so far has saved his speech, and there was no way Liang Sa, who knew it so quickly, would let it go.

“Never mind. Don't worry about it. ”

But feverless cut off her question and walked into the temple.

“Wait…! ”

[You have entered the Temple.]

A yellow message pane.

Normally, when entering a dungeon, a red alert window will appear.

That means soon.

‘Hmm, it's not a dungeon. ’

It was literally a training ground for the winners of the stadium.

‘But then it's even weirder. ’

She said it was made by the Elizels to help Ordo Chang not reach the heart of the temple.

‘But it's not a dungeon? Then what are we attacking? If it wasn't for the dungeon, there wouldn't be monsters. ’

Heatless eyes narrowed and he began to wrap things up in his head.

Whew.

He pulls out a torch from his inventory and lights a fire, and Liang looks at him curiously and enters the temple.

* * *

“... Amazing. ”

The ceiling was an unknown height.

The center of the seemingly small ceiling is pierced and sunset begins to turn red as it pours into it.

Knng.

Lianze grabbed the feisty waist as if he were afraid to set foot in this place where only the winners of the stadium could enter.

“What the hell is this place...? ”

I wonder how long it's been.

It was curious to see such a large void here as this heat, as it passed through several large maze gates.

Kuang.

And one giant door in front of me.

Unlike what had all been open so far, the door that appeared in front of them was tightly closed.

“Now, wait a minute. ”

As Heatless tries to pull on the doorknob, Lianz finally speaks.

“Sir, I don't think so. Let's get out of here. ”

I know enough about her concerns.

This is definitely a sanctuary for them.

You will think that you are committing a blasphemous sin just by putting your feet inside it.

But fever is different.

If he'd just taken a class at the spire when Kanta Magou was in, he wouldn't be able to come south like this now.

Even if it's an insult.

You have to take a step to get to the truth.

“Don't you want to know? About the death of Ordo Spear. ”

“…… Yes? ”

“Don't worry. There will be nothing here. ”

Currrrrrrr...

I opened the door of the temple with all my strength and no heat.

And as they were gradually pushed backwards, they saw through the cracks that were happening.

“…… Sip?! ”

Lianze covers his mouth without even knowing it. Then I looked at him in a hurry.

Jubbuck, Jubbuck, Jubbuck.

The heat is slowly moving inward.

Chak and…….

Every time he steps off, you hear a sharp hiss as the steel hits the floor.

There, countless swords fell asleep.

Broken Sword, Fallen Sword, Sword in the Floor, Shattered Sword, Stacked Sword....

A sword that fills a huge hole.

Each shape, size, and condition was different, but the only thing that was the same was that they could no longer be used.

“This is like a tomb of dead swords, not a shrine to the gods. ”

Heatless summarized his feelings for this scene in one sentence.

The Grave of Broken Swords has one word to say, as if leading someone into it.

Walking up the road, a large, bumpy wall blocked them both.

“Dead end...? ”

Lianz sweeps the wall in front of him.

“No.”

It was a mural.

A large painting carved like a piece on the wall, to be exact.

“ ……. ”

The overwhelming magnificence caused me to lose my temper.

"Was there such a thing? ’

He was the one who joined Lee Gangho's army and went to many battlefields with the swordsmen.

But I have never heard of such a mural as well as the existence of such a temple.

You might think, "How can a regular soldier know this?"

“It's strange that there were no rumors.... ”

A huge, endless wall.

The drawings on it....

Giant dragons cover the sky and there are black wings, white lights, monsters, and humans tangled underneath.

The moment she saw it, she could see what the mural meant.

‘Race war. ’

The moment when everyone had hope that everyone could return, even though the Human Army was established as Lee Gangho.

That wasn't the end.

Suddenly, five dimensions will open, and each force will become one continent and come together.

‘Right here. Perhaps it's because we are the last to be crowned. The world became one continent and now the battlefield of the Six Lords. Each dimension was also recruited like us and elected the owner of the throne. ’

So the six-dimensional race fights over the last throne.

‘That's the real Seven Throne. ’

The entity of the seventh throne, named by the gods.

One of the biggest reasons why heatless people want to be on the throne is not that they want to be the best.

Humanity who joined the Seven Thrones at the latest lacked that much preparation time.

Thirteen years old.

‘I will ascend to the throne in the shortest time and prepare for the real war ahead. ’

That is, compulsory fever was the biggest goal for an ordinary person to ascend to the throne.

“But……. ”

Heatless thought as he looked at the mural.

‘How does this fragment predict the War of the Races exist? Is it already known to the people who live here? ’

If you think about it, there was no monarch who had a proper conversation with the indigenous people living in this dimension from the beginning.

Even the goat clones that absorbed the Southern tribes were just to use them as tools.

‘Have we ever been interested in stories passed down to them or legends…… or documents from the past? ’

Nothing.

“ ……. ”

The moment I felt feverish, I felt a chill in my whole body.

“Mister!! ”

It was then.

In the darkness, a feeble look turns to Liang's cry.

As I hurried to where she was, there was another sighting that caught his eye.

“This……. ”

Shrine altars filled with sharp slashes.

The deep spiral marks of the snake are scattered all over the place as if they were wrapped by a snake.

Fever was instinctive the moment I saw it.

‘…… Speaker Blade? ’

Two sharp swords, like living snakes, change trajectories and attack.

In fact, the fever that had received his sword was the only sword that made me realize the cause of this scene that was unfolding before my eyes at once.

‘No.'

Heatless shakes his head.

‘Lee Kang-ho couldn't have come here. ’

He captured the last boss in the Southern stadium and obtained a speaking sword with the feeling of heat.

Afterwards, I met myself in Jungjin's Den.

‘Ordo Chang's death was recent. It's not timely. ’

Moreover, some of the sharp cuts on the sword were unknown to the heatless.

‘The Speaker's Blade is made of five herbs. There are other herbs besides the first formula. ’

That proves that Lee Gangho didn't come here.

‘But when he met me, he failed to master the perfect spear sword. ’

Then…….

‘There is someone who can use a spear sword other than Kangho Lee...? ’

The seamless eyes changed.

“Kid, I thought you said no one was allowed in here but the winner of the stadium. ”

Nod.

Lianze nods.

‘The place where he got his speaker sword... …. ’

Southern stadium.

In addition to Kangho Lee, there is only one person who can use a spear sword.

Right away.

Examination of deterioration.

“No way…. ”

The moment the jittery pieces of the puzzle came together, a complete picture appeared in the head of the heatless.

“Kid, you really don't know the degradation test? ”

“Who the hell was that? ”

‘Maybe…… as I expected. ’

Lianze doesn't know about the deterioration test, the last fighter there, in the open stadium seen in the audience.

I wonder what happened.

A hypothesis came to mind.

‘Then there is nothing more to gain here. ’

I knew what Ordo Spear was training for.

This is...

It was not a dungeon where skills or items could be obtained, but a clue was left behind.

“Maybe there is a surprising answer to this quest. ”

There was a smile on his face.

“Kid, let's go back. ”

“Yes?”

I don't understand what it is. Lianze is just confused.

Seeing her like that, the fever shook its head and said towards her.

“To the stadium.”
