I lost.

“So you lost... ”

Darkness that I had seen when my head was smashed.

Is that the afterlife?

Yoon-suk stretched his legs and lay on the floor as he felt his head softened.

I couldn't stand it because I felt a deep feeling of devastation in my whole body.

Yoon-suk thought again and again.

What could have caused such a defeat?

Was he arrogant?

Obviously, there's no such thing.

The fact that you underestimate your opponent before the duel begins is undeniable.

One arrogance could not be a factor of defeat.

Yoon-suk struggled to the very end, admitting his skill.

Then why did he lose?

Yoon-suk, who was looking for the cause, laughed helplessly. I was so pathetic looking for excuses.

‘Why else would I lose? ’

Thinking about it was a funny question.

The factor of defeat was very simple.

Kerixis was stronger than himself.

That's it.

In the end, as he said, it was very little.

‘I knew you wouldn't be careless. This place……. ’

However, unlike the thousand horses, the only comfort I felt was that I didn't feel a huge wall.

Nevertheless, I was reminded of the bitter emotion.

The world is vast.

However, since there are four such vast worlds, there are monsters like Thousand Horses and Keraxis as well.

Here, Yoon-suk had nine duels.

It's a small figure without a chin to get the right statistics, but you can still tell one thing.

Monsters the size of Thousand Horses and Kerixis are rare here, too.

"Does it make sense to you, Jinks? ’

It can be considered a coincidence once a thousand times.

Moreover, at that time, luck and circumstance were intertwined to win.

However, as soon as you set a clear goal of ascending the tower and becoming stronger, you were sadly defeated in the face of such an extraordinary battle.

It feels like there's something dark in the road ahead.

‘Let's stop thinking and start preparing for the next battle. ’

Yoon-suk, who was lying for a long time, woke up.

It was after death, too, which was full of time and medicine.

Yoon-suk grinned as he manipulated the tablet.

It was customary to check the rewards first when returning to the waiting room, but this time it was awkward for him to check the penalties first.

“Please…… ”

I even saw the word "defeat."

However, I was so distracted by my first death that I couldn't even confirm what technology was missing.

Yoon-suk hoped that the ‘War Storm’ type of technology would be gone, and confirmed the skill that had been lost by the penalty of 'Feast'.

“Ahh... ”

Yun Seok sighed for a long time after checking the challenger's information.

‘I can't even use it properly. It's gone. ’

Ragnar and his ability to fight have disappeared.

A skill that I thought would be useful in the future if it wasn't for Keraxis I met in this duel.

If you don't mind, that would be a lie.

Yoon-suk also checked other penalties.

Not only did you lose a coin, you lost both the Two-Bay Axe of the Demibeast (Rank E +) and the Agility stats you absorbed from Ragnar the other day.

‘At least I'm glad I didn't lose my armor. ’

Yoon-suk decided to be as positive as possible.

If you lost, the battle strength would be reduced, as well as the AP invested in it.

He realizes that it is a double-edged sword.

‘But I can't help ranking up my skills.... This is troublesome.'

There's a penalty if you don't lose, but where does that leave you?

I couldn't help feeling bitter, and Yoon-suk turned on the chat room. I asked Ragnar if he knew the Iron King, Kerixis, but the answer never came back.

Maybe I've already won this battle and gone up to the fifth floor.

‘You said you'd wait upstairs. ’

On second thought, Kerixis was a strong opponent.

In a way, the technique itself might not have been an advantage, but it made a difference in all other specifications.

"Would he have won?" ’

Yoon-suk thought of the thousand horses, and I thought that she might have done it for some reason.

Because it was loaded with something beyond his black system.

In saving his own shortcomings, he realized that the only answer was diligence.

Yoon-suk decided to spend the rest of his time on training because he doesn't have to use AP as a reward.

The car was trying to turn its back while leaving the chat room on.

- The Lord of Sunlight Paradise: The King of Steel? That mutant is here? I heard you were dead.

- Long live the Guild Thief: It is not known because of the rest of the royal family, but the corpse is missing. Now it turns out it's true.

- Great Farmer: He'll be strong here, won't he? Is it possible to get revenge?

- Long live Guild Thief: If you want to kill yourself. As it turns out, unique technologies are closely related to your abilities. But since the Iron King has become the most powerful natural being on the continent, maybe he's still here.

There is no whispering in chat rooms.

So, others could see the question Yoon-suk asked Ragnar.

This has brought quite a lot of wavelength.

Well, it was limited to challengers from Shephernbad.

‘You must be a very famous person.... ’

Since the conversations related to him take place and you are the strongest, those modifiers spill out.

Yoon-suk, who was suddenly curious about Heavenly Horse, also threw a talk about it into the chat room.

Immediately, there was a reaction among the Moorish.

- Nam-gu-jin: Thousand? That crazy old man was here?

- Don't talk nonsense. Though he hid, he was our heaven. Hey, predator ball, did you really see him in person?

- Wudang wavelength problem: it must have been a solid shadow for a bunch of witches like you. After 30 years of silver, I thought I was dead because I hadn't heard from the river, and now I'm back in the jungle again!

- Fantastic: Frenzied motherfucker! Hail to the Sundays!

- Nam GooJinjin: FangDojin! I told you where this traitor was hiding, and here he is!

There's no such thing as commotion.

Maybe it's because he thinks of himself as a teacher. The majesty of the name of Heavenly Horse was slightly elevated. The wavelength of the thousand horses was never traced back to the Iron King.

The noisy chat room slowly became silent because Yoon-seok left only the topic and didn't say anything.

Until someone puts the fire back on.

- Grape Jam: So I know you're both pretty tough, but who wins a fight with the King of Steel?

A nickname that I hadn't seen in a while was published again.

He led a large Aggro to the vengeance of many people, and it seemed to be still alive.

However, a word of grape jam sparked a proud fight between Seilanbad and Moorim.

- Soul Lord of Sunlight Paradise: I don't know who the Thousand Horses are, but not for King Steel. He's a monster.

- Wudang wavelength problem correction: hahaha! You don't even know what an unprotected is, so you might think that. If only one had been so decent, the sect wouldn't have been so afraid of her.

- Great Farmer: Oh, here we go again. That shameless pride. Don't you ever get tired of the mysterious beauty?

- Grape Jam: Blah blah blah blah blah We fight well amongst ourselves. Do you know what science is?

He's the one who's been causing neurological wars in both worlds, and he's busy picking both sides when something happens.

Is that funny?

Yoon-suk took his eyes off the chaos and turned away from the chat room.

I did not want to react so eagerly, but my questions have been confirmed to some extent, so it was time to do my job.

“... to be stronger. ”

The training of Yun Seok is limited to the technique.

As Heaven has acknowledged, it is impossible for a skill or ability to grow into training.

So I was more and more obsessed with sharpening the technique. As long as you have the ability, you are less likely to have specs than you encounter.

One, that mind has changed now.

There is a unique skill that is powerful enough to render all of the skills obtained by Predation meaningless.

The battle against Keraxis has confirmed that.

However, the results remained unchanged.

The only way Spec can beat his opponent is to dig into swords and see the superiority in his skills.

“ ……. ”

Yoon-suk closed his eyes quietly.

Then, I wielded my sword all I wanted in the inner world.

Imagination was truly limitless.

If you need a duel, Kerixis appears to be your opponent.

At any time.

Suddenly, the ‘vitality’ I felt in my lower abdomen showed up again.

It was different from the time when there was no way to control the energy of moving the whole body.

Huh?

It's moving.

as if they were responding to their own will.

But not all energy moves.

3 of the energy concentrated on the body.

Is it just a coincidence that the Avatar Quality increases by 30% and the numbers overlap?

I don't know, but Yoon-suk didn't think deeply.

I only thought about what is the essence of this energy and what can be achieved with it.

Yoon-suk adapted to this energy step-by-step, and focused only on one place.

Then I realized that I felt a strong force at the point where the evenly dispersed energies gathered.

It's not like his stats are up. What is it? ’

Yoon-suk put some energy into his hands, then sliced it with his sword.

Yoonseok has superhuman abilities, but his Durability is only F + rank.

A sharp blade must hurt the hide, but somehow it's fine.

Like Kerricks' hard skin.

The invisible energy of the energy protects your fist.

Just when I thought I had gained a rare ability, I felt refreshed for a moment. Yoon-suk constantly studied how to use this ability to be more efficient.

‘I wish I could use a sword...' ’

I tried to push the energy into the sword as a test, but it didn't work.

This energy seems to only move in the body.

Then all of a sudden, I remembered what I said while I was explaining about the work.

New inspection date.

It's hard to tell the difference between a sword and a body.

If you reach this point, won't you be able to push this energy into the sword?

Then it was a little strange.

It was because Yoon-suk had already considered the sword as comfortable and natural as his body.

‘Is it still not enough...? ’

Maybe.

Yoon-suk closed his eyes again and reminded him of the duels that had passed by.

At first, the sword was too awkward.

I was terrified of the fact that I wielded a sharp blade. You might get yourself hurt by this blade at the same time.

The number of duels increases, and the fear disappears.

From then on, I didn't need a shield.

The shield could do its part with a sword.

There was only one.

Of course, I can handle it more professionally than before.

Since the battle with the Heavenly Horse, the growth width has accelerated.

One was still black, and Yoon Suk was Yoon Suk.

It's a black thing, and it's life itself.

But how can these two become one?

In that contradiction, Yoon-suk recalled the battle with the Emperor even more carefully. She examines and examines the movement of the sword she wields.

The Thousand Horse's Black was like a living creature.

His sword, on the other hand, is dead.

“... That's why. ”

Resurrect the dead sword first.

Becoming one with the sword is next.

Yoon-suk, who seemed to have found a clue, became even more obsessed with finding the answer.

How long has it been since.

Yoon-suk opened his eyes that he closed gently.

The sword in your hand was coated with blue energy.

Whoo-hoo!

It's neither Weapon Enhancement nor Il Island.

The effects of any technology were not mixed.

It was a truly meaningful sword.

And that power…….

Prepare yourself, the duel is about to begin.

Well, you'll see soon enough.
