Chapter 518 – IF I Am Alone in Another World 4
Since ancient times, weapons have been consumables, and this is no different in this fantasy world. And the time when its lifespan expires cannot be determined by the user.
Clink-!
“Um-.”
“Chwiiiiik-!”
During real-time combat. The weapon is broken. This is true even though I succeeded in dodging all the opponent’s attacks.
But don’t panic. Do-jin was trained not to panic even when guns were pushed in front of him, and although he did not learn how to deal with a situation where a weapon breaks, he learned how to confront an opponent with a weapon with his bare hands.
Immediately, he grabbed the half-broken blade flying in the air with his bare hands and stabbed the Orc warrior’s eyeball. Blood drips from his torn bare palm as he hastily grabs the blade.
“Kkueeeeek!”
The great Orc warrior, who had been stabbed in the vital spot called his eye, let out a pig-like scream and threw away the weapon in his hand. It was a warrior-like response, and it was an extremely skilled counterattack, but that’s why I was able to respond.
Do-jin, who saw the weapon stabbing at his body, naturally engaged in sword wrestling and took the weapon away, then swung the ax he had just taken.
Although he did not learn swordsmanship as expertly, Dojin was a master of various martial arts, including swordsmanship, and among them was how to use an axe.
Phew! The sound of blood bubbling from the vocal cords of an orc with an ax cut into its neck is heard, and a moment later – the lifeless orc falls to the floor. Dojin, who was watching the orc disappear into ashes, leaving behind only the magic stone, grabbed the ax that the orc was using and looked around.
“Sssss-! Come on, you pig!”
“I told you to stop shouting so loudly!”
“Then close those long ears! If you can’t do it, cut it off!”
In the distance, Sayoung and Orion were hunting monsters by swinging swords and shooting arrows. It was a monster parade that was extremely rare to see even in dungeons. Monsters are pouring out like crazy, and to put it in Dojin’s way, it is the respawn time of hundreds of monsters that accidentally overlapped.
Ordinary adventurers would not be able to escape alive, and even for those with good skills, their lives could be at risk. Dojin calmly sprinkled the potion on his palm.
Then he picked up the ax and threw it, blowing a hole in the head of an orc.
While Sayoung looked at the scene blankly, Dojin came next to her and opened her mouth.
“─Is there any sword left?”
“What! Where did you sell the sword!?”
“It’s broken. So, what’s left.”
“Sure! “Just take what these bastards have and use it!”
“I guess so.”
“If you go out, buy something nice! “Where is the swordsman who breaks the sword?”
After hearing Sa-young’s words, Do-jin made a bitter expression. He’s right. The sword he used was a reasonably good sword, but it was not a sword worthy of a fantasy otherworld.
Rather than a reasonably good sword, I needed a weapon that wouldn’t break easily in any situation. And to get it, you first had to escape out of the dungeon…
In order to get out of the dungeon, it was necessary to kill all the monsters piled up in front of you. There are teleportation scrolls that allow you to escape the dungeon in an instant, but they are all in your bag, and it takes quite a while to get them out and tear them up. At least it wasn’t something that could be done openly in front of a monster holding a deadly weapon.
“Sayeong.”
“Why-!”
“Should I make a bet? Who catches more?”
“Ha-Including the one in front?”
“Okay.”
Do-jin said that and stretched out his hand. After breaking the orc’s head, he picks up the weapon that was rolling on the floor and kicks away the incoming spear blade.
The spear blade that had been removed was pulled back through a mysterious trick that the orc’s brain could not understand, and the orc, whose weapon had been taken away in the process, was handed an ax instead of the spear.
As the orc fell after receiving the ax with his head, Dojin counted without thinking.
“Five.”
“What? You bastard – you lied and said I didn’t see it… !”
“Six with this.”
Do-jin said that and threw out his spear at the same time. Make a hole in the monster’s throat and immediately retrieve it. After retrieving it, block the incoming weapon and quickly fire it.
A continuation of the ghost-like Ranna Chal (攔拿扎). Sayoung, who was watching the scene next to her, made a bewildered expression, but immediately followed suit and swung her sword.
It was a bet now, and every minute and every second was a waste of time.
“You bastard! Are you afraid of losing?”
As the snake beast’s four sword swords and swords unfolded in Sayoung’s hands, Orion, who was putting an arrow on his bow behind her, burst into laughter at the sight.
“We get along well.”
If Sayoung had heard her, he would have vomited out his anger at her and denied it, but Sayoung, who was concentrating on the battle, did not hear those words. When there was no answer, Orion felt bored, pouting his lips and shooting an arrow. It was mainly Sayoung’s target
It took her another 15 minutes until Sa-young, realizing that the monster she was trying to catch, was struck by her arrows, screamed at her in indignation.
So, it was after hunting the monsters that arose due to the monster parade.
* * *
“Shit-! “If only this damn bitch hadn’t gotten in the way!”
“Did you say that was an excuse? Blame your own lack of skills. Mr. Sayoung.”
“You damned little bastard!”
“Oh. Are you being racist? On the subject of fishy grub…”
After finishing the Monster Parade. The three people who escaped the dungeon safely finished settling the bill at the guild and took a rest. This means that like other adventurers, they had a drinking party at their lodgings.
An elf, a snake beastman, and a black-haired foreigner gather in one place to drink. If it were Earth, it would have attracted quite a bit of attention, but it was not that uncommon in this city with a dungeon.
In this dungeon city, which has the world’s only dungeon, many powerful people from all over the world have been aiming for the dungeon and challenging it.
“So? If you lose a bet, you lose… What are you going to do with it?”
“What?”
“I mean compensation, compensation. Well, if it’s appropriate, I’ll just listen to it.”
“Not really. “I didn’t bet on anything.”
“H-you get what you give, right? “It’s not good to see it bouncing around too much.”
As Sayoung said that, she crossed her arms and glared at her Dojin. Although she resented the fact that she lost the bet, she did not disown herself as a result. She did so despite Orion’s interference.
Well, Dojin was a person with sword skills that Sayoung could not help but acknowledge. Physical abilities and skills that are incredible for humans. It was a shame that he wasn’t born as a beast.
“Well, I’m not sure if it will happen or not, but can I ask you one thing?”
“What is it? Well, it’s not like you’re going to ask me to put a hole in it.”
“It’s similar. It could be much worse than that… Your swordsmanship. “Can I use it?”
“… “What?”
Sayoung, who heard Dojin’s words, erased her smiling face and made a grim expression. If she had asked me to touch her, she would have cursed and slapped me on the back.
However, whether I could use swordsmanship was a request that I could not understand at the moment, and the moment I understood it, it was a request that damaged my soul and dignity.
For the swordsman, the sword was his lover, and swordsmanship was his life and ideology that he had built up throughout his life. Asking if I could use that sword technique was the same as saying I would steal my entire life.
It’s nonsense, but if it were actually possible, it would be so terrible that I wouldn’t even want to imagine it.
Sayoung asked again with her expression hardened.
“What do you mean?”
“Literally. The swordsmanship you used. “Can I use it?”
“… “I don’t plan on teaching you how to use a sword just because you won this bet.”
“So do i. “I’m not thinking of learning sword skills like this.”
“Then how are you going to use it?”
Even as she opened her mouth, Sayoung prayed that the outcome was not what she thought. She even prayed to the now-hidden beastman god.
But God is dead.
“Once you see it, you can pretty much use it. Because that’s how I was trained.”
“… That can’t be achieved through training.”
“Because I received special training.”
Do-jin is Do-hoon’s bloodline, and was a born genius who learned the swordsmanship that Do-hoon developed throughout his life from a young age. His life, which had been trained for 23 years, was completed with a single sword, and it was very easy for him to learn how to swing the sword.
Even though she could have stolen Sayoung’s sword skills without her telling him, the reason she bothered to bring this up was because she recognized Sayoung as her comrade. She couldn’t openly use stolen sword skills in front of her colleagues. When there was an opportunity like this, it was best for him to get permission.
That’s what I was thinking… Sayoung’s reaction was not very good.
“Will it work? A rotten genius.”
“Hmm. It’s a shame.”
“Just write in front of me. I’ll kill you halfway. Got it?”
The sword skill that Sa-young finally acquired after spending her entire life. You can copy it just by looking at it. The emotions she felt upon seeing Dojin talking were jealousy and anger.
I couldn’t react maturely in front of a genius. Sayoung was too young for something like that to be possible.
Dojin, who was rejected, expressed his disappointment.
“Sayoung, your swordsmanship seemed more useful than I thought, so I thought that if I mixed it with the swordsmanship I learned, I could create a good technique.”
“… Good technology?”
“Okay. It’s a kind of fake technology that continuously bends the trajectory… Well, since you told me not to use it, I’ll put that on hold─.”
“Hmm… Are my swordsmanship really that good? Even though you think you’re a genius?”
“At least. “It’s the best swordsmanship I’ve ever seen in this city.”
Since Do-jin had only recently come from this world, there was no lie in the words themselves. But Sayoung did not know that fact. She was just happy to be recognized by a prosecutor above her named Dojin.
Sayoung, who was delighted with her blushing face, cleared her throat a few times and carefully opened her mouth.
“Hey… If you really want to use my sword skills, there’s nothing you can’t do…”
“You said you couldn’t do it earlier?”
“In front of me. It might be okay as long as you only write in front of me… And, if you tell me the technique of making it too.”
Sayoung began to glance at Dojin. Until recently, she had been saying that she wanted to use her swordsmanship, but one rejection could have changed her mind.
In an instant, she felt that her position had been reversed – Sayoung waited for Dojin’s answer. Fortunately, her Dojin’s answer was yes. In return for taking her sword skills, she agreed to teach her one of her skills.
