Light of Arad: The First to Walk - Chapter 104



Only Noblemtl

104

Jinseong’s face was more serious than ever.

Should I say it was the tension from when I was dealing with the contaminated Apostle Lotus?

Maybe it was more than that.

‘I can only remember about two combos in the arena. It’s completely different now than when I became a master as the Dark Knight – and the arena where you fight in the first place and the bonuses are different… ‘

It was because he was doubtful whether the combo he remembered was accurate.

Even if it is accurate, will it be 100% effective against Ah-hang, who is currently ‘floating in the air’ in front of his eyes?

But it didn’t matter if those doubts were just blown away.

Because the real show time for Ah-haeng, who hit the target, has practically begun.

“, -.”

Three consecutive hits in the air at the same speed as the advancing Grand Wave.

Jinseong quickly used his skill ahead of the point where Ah-hang was going to land.

“–!”

After using the skill that causes an explosion from the ground, you can eliminate the delay by casting before the skill makes contact, and even achieve mid-air lift, and then high lift due to the skill effect of the following skill!

“Kuaaaah! Shit, why does this combo keep happening!”

Ah-hang was writhing in pain, unable to even control his posture in the air.

Of course, that struggle didn’t work.

“The arena originally had gravity compensation in place, so you’d fall. In a fight where there was no such compensation, it’d be natural for you to start an infinite combo once you’re in the air?!!”

By a skill more powerful than his own struggles, Ah-hang was simply swept away like a buoy being tossed by the waves.

It was only for a moment that I was hit a few times by the spinning dark balls.

“.”

By the ensuing , he had to be slowly dragged back to the front of Jinseong.

Ah-hang screamed again at the natural follow-up attack of Jinseong.

“Fuck- AAAH!”

Even at the moment when it seemed as if he was barely able to open the distance, Jinseong’s sword did not stop.

“, , !”

“-Again, this shit, I’m going to drag you in again-.”

“Just now, you were dragging your feet. This is really dragging your feet. You know that?”

After being hit a few times by Jinseong and barely being able to bounce off, Jinseong quickly uses his ‘pull’ to bring Ah-haeng right in front of Jinseong.

After being hit a few times and thinking that he had moved away, he was dragged back in, dragged away again, and caught again. It was a series of scenes.

Continued , , .

“Ugh, I won’t leave you alone-……!”

Ah-haeng couldn’t even speak anymore.

The only thing he could do was to stand there with that distorted expression and look at Jinseong’s back.

Because of the holding that followed at the end of the combo, Jinseong was in a state of jumping forward while cutting down Ahang in an instant.

thud…….

At the moment when a heavy impact sound was heard, Jinseong was able to turn around and check.

The body of Ah-haeng lying on the roadside of Lufthansa.

* * *

“Whew, what more can we do?”

Jinseong immediately put down his brow.

If it were a game, the loser would become a sort of ghost.

Users enter a state called ‘Candlelight’, where they cannot even properly converse until they use coins to revive or until a certain amount of time has passed.

Then what about the possessed users? What about the possessed users?

‘I guess I should be thankful that it didn’t become a candle. Using coins to return from that candle would mean that the candle was ‘treated as dead’… … Coins are used to ‘resurrect’ in the game.’

From Jinseong’s perspective, he didn’t want to drive Ah-haeng, who hadn’t heard all the secrets yet, to death.

Above all, it is natural that there is a fundamental aversion to killing ‘people possessed together’ rather than just simple monsters or NPCs.

“Looking at the fact that the blood barrier hasn’t even appeared, it looks like there’s still some time left, but you don’t believe that, do you? The duration won’t even be that long, and I can’t guarantee it after you use it up. This is the limit of how much I can beat you without killing you.”

Perhaps the silver lining is that his occupation is a berserker.

There is a skill that can be said to be one of the Berserker’s characteristics.

In a way, it can be considered a fraudulent skill, as it prevents HP from decreasing below 50% for the duration after casting.

Jinseong was trying to impress upon Ah-hang that he had predicted everything until the point where Ah-hang believed it and did not surrender.

“Kuh …

“Are you crazy? Why are you laughing all of a sudden-.”

“Sure…if it had been a duel, I would have lost.”

This is not a dueling arena.

If the fun of the arena is that all occupations compete in control skills in a similar environment with adjustments applied according to occupation and items, then how about ‘Let’s Fight!’

There is no level correction.

There is no item compensation.

In other words, Ah-Hang is still a level 75 Berserker, and is equipped with various epic equipment.

“Why should I write to a guy like you?”

This means that even if you hit a level 60 true spirit a hundred or a thousand times, that’s all there is to it.

“……Blasphemy. Blasphemy that’s not even funny. Even though the level gap between us is a bit, the silver that was modified by Vivi-ssi is by no means weak. Let alone the damage that was dealt when a full combo cycle was completed-.”

“Okay, let’s say I’m using a modified weapon. Then what do you think my armor will be like?”

Ah-haeng suddenly got up.

As if he had literally suffered no harm.

Jinseong’s expression distorted for a moment as he watched him not even drinking the potion.

Then, suddenly, he reached out his hand.

“Huh?!”

Jinseong flinched and tried to block his surprise attack, but he just kept falling down.

Ah-haeng said with a sly smile.

“, .”

A specialty of the Berserker profession, a male ear inspector profession.

Above all, in a PvP situation like the one we have now, one of the skills that Berserker must use is Da.

Because it increases the attack power of Berserker’s unique job skill, such as hit rate, hit recovery, etc., instead of consuming HP for a certain period of time.

It could be said that this skill was perfect for the concept of a Berserker who becomes stronger by using blood, but to Jinseong right now, it was just a snicker and a laugh.

“You’re finally starting to feel like doing it? Come to think of it, you’re not even qualified to be a Berserker. It’s normal to start getting frenzied as soon as a fight starts.”

The fact that he’s using such a skill now is proof that he’s a berserker who doesn’t even have the basics.

But Ah-hang did not react.

Just keep your mouth shut, wait a moment, and then use another skill.

“.”

It was a skill that Jinseong had once pointed out.

It can be used when HP falls below a certain percentage, and if you are attacked while the skill is being used, the ‘Blood Defense’ will render all attacks ineffective for a few seconds.

The skill is structured so that when the blood barrier disappears, the skill also ends.

So Jinseong couldn’t help but be flustered.

You wrote that and didn’t even bother to attack, but then your HP was consumed and you wrote that?

‘Even if that’s true, the madness that comes with it has a cooldown, so why would you use it-… … . Hmm?!’

But it was surprising, he said.

Thud── thud── thud ────!

A sound is heard immediately afterward, a dull thud.

Ah-haeng was doing something that made Jin-seong’s eyes widen.

“What, what are you doing-. What are you doing? Why are you harming yourself….”

Wasn’t he holding a heavy goblin bat with both hands and hitting his own body with it?

An action that is virtually impossible in the game Dungeon & Fighter.

Even Jinseong cannot possibly anticipate behavior that he has never experienced during his time as a user.

‘What on earth are you trying to do…? Why are you doing such a self-destructive thing?’

“Ugh.”

That wasn’t all.

A body that commits self-harm with such a blunt object cannot be healthy.

Soon after, bleeding began near his collarbone.

Jinseong saw it.

The corners of Ah-hang’s mouth twisted upward.

You’re laughing while your own body is bleeding?

Sudden self-harm. Immediately after, a thin, colorful border appeared on Ah-hang’s body.

“Following the activation… Phew, now I feel like I can beat him a little.”

Should we say that he has a border that is barely visible, almost invisible?

Jinseong recognized the characteristic appearance of soft alternating yellow and red lights.

‘It’s not the sunlight. It’s not the sun. That colorful shield… ‘

It was something that made Jinseong swallow his saliva.

Because every single word Ah-hang said was completely incomprehensible to Jin-seong.

“Super Armor- No, it’s activated? Now, wait a minute. Isn’t that weird? That should only happen when you hit the opponent, but it’s happening because of self-harm- And why on earth is Super Armor……”

, a unique Berserker skill that increases independent attack power, hit rate, and physical critical rate for a certain period of time when causing bleeding to an enemy.

It triggered? Because he hit his own body and bled?

And Super Armor?

Separate from the invincibility period, a state in which you are ‘exposed to the opponent’s attack’ but are resistant to the opponent’s attack, so that the motion is not canceled even when attacked.

And what did Ah-haeng say?

What does it mean when you say that it’s going to be fun to hit when Super Armor is activated?

“When Shua is activated, damage increase… If there is such an option among the usable items at level 75- ? Damage increase of 20%?”

Physical Defense +4858

Strength +42

Intelligence +31

Stamina +39

2% chance to activate Super Armor buff for 10 seconds when attacking (Cooldown 15 seconds)

When the Super Armor option of the corresponding equipment is activated, damage increases by 20% when attacking.

It is also an item that requires a lot of .

At this point, Jinseong began to feel a subtle sense of elation.

‘Epic Souls can be obtained by dismantling [Epic Grade Items]. And most epic items are [Untradeable]. There are some epic items that can be traded, but I don’t think you can buy them all at the auction house. As expected, that human… … .’

I spoke to him as if I was ignoring him, but I had no choice but to acknowledge that he was a person who had achieved something in the concept of an ‘outside-the-box approach’, and furthermore, I could imagine how the fact that he had achieved something would ultimately apply to Jinseong himself.

Ah-haeng shook his head as if he was tired of seeing Jin-seong muttering with a faint smile.

“Huh, haha, really rotten water is rotten water. Did you memorize all the options? Then you know what options there are, right? It’s not just the steam.”

Then he took something out of his [inventory] and rustled it.

It was a small cube. A cube with no particular color, one that could be considered gray.

Items. He took out two.

And then… basak… .

As soon as it broke, his sword began to glow blue.

Take out two more and fry them.

The reddish-orange light surrounding his body grew slightly thicker.

He didn’t stop and took out two more.

Jinseong’s fingers were full of strength.

‘The special option… … that consumes Mukyu at regular intervals? But now- are you forcibly activating it? And even overlapping it!?’

.

.

When equipped, consumes 2 colorless cube fragments every 20 seconds to activate 1 special option pattern for 20 seconds. (Activates immediately when equipped.)

-The weapon glows blue and takes no damage.

– Put yourself in super armor state

– Make yourself camouflaged

– 2% chance to stun enemies when attacking

Normally, they should be activated one by one in turns.

Additionally, it should activate ‘automatically’ and ‘immediately’ when the item is equipped.

From the beginning, the activation conditions of the skill used by Ah-hang, as well as the activation of the item option effect.

Not a single one of them is going according to Jinseong’s memories, or according to the flow of the game Dungeon & Fighter that Jinseong knows.

Jinseong muttered as the words impossible and absurd came to mind.

Theoretically, it is impossible.

But now it’s not in the game Dungeon & Fighter, that is, not in the game.

Something only possessed people can do.

Being subject to the system, but at the same time doing something in a way that circumvents/undermines/unofficially enforces the systemic sanctions!

“… … Out of specification. Huh, so this is what out of specification means? This is awesome!?”

At that moment, when Jinseong was filled with joy and anticipation in a different way than when Vivi modified the item, Ah-hang, who had disappeared through , shouted.

“Damn it, that guy is fucking hilarious!!”

Although he couldn’t see the figure, Jinseong immediately reacted just by the sound.

“Then I!”

Berserker’s original skill and Dark Knight’s similar skill that converted that skill into dark energy were cast simultaneously.

They leap towards each other, rushing and pounding the ground.

───────────… … !!!!

In the Celestial Lufthafen, the [Let’s Fight!] that had not yet ended has resumed.
