Light of Arad: The First to Walk - Chapter 107

The two clashed repeatedly, scattering sparks.
The latter should be overwhelmingly stronger based on the difference in the level of the wear restriction alone, but the shabby goblin bat was barely able to block the chainsaw.
It was an unbelievable thing for Ah-haeng.
‘I’m being pushed from the air? Me?!’
Speed was increased through skills.
The accessory set item effects also amplified attack speed, movement speed, and casting speed.
And that’s not all.
‘The divine sword… …I am utilizing the energy of Yang-Eol!?’
.
Ah-Hang ‘knew’ that there was a way for the possessed to become stronger in Arad, and so he succeeded in finding the maximum, most efficient way he could.
It’s different from simply wearing epic items.
The secret was exactly what Ah-Hang was applying to his own body right now.
Borrowing the energy of an entity that can be considered the origin of an item, the prototype of an item, or the model of an item.
‘Damn, I thought there would be differences depending on the item’s grade or level-. But still, this is the Divine Sword Yang-Eol’s! Excluding that Soldoros, it’s an item that practically brings out the hand movements of the strongest swordsman in Arad!’
That was the reason why Ah-haeng was confident even though he was always beaten by Jin-seong.
If you were to choose the strongest human in Arad in the present age, the one who would be chosen without a doubt would be Soldoros.
In the timelines of Ah-Hyeong and Jin-Seong, Weapon Master Soldoros is still training at the Tower of Despair, and is practically treated as a legend, having not made an appearance.
There is someone that Soldoros recognizes as his rival, and that person is Soldoros’ disciple, the divine sword Yang Er.
Even though I brought the skill of that divine sword.
Although he should be ahead in every aspect, including levels and items, the fact that Jinseong was pushing himself further shocked and terrified him.
“Ugh-.”
“How fun!? Are you saying you were enjoying this good thing all by yourself?”
“-Shut up! How- What the hell is going on!? How can you suddenly move like this- What was that dog-like thing that I saw a little while ago!?”
Ah-haeng shouted urgently.
What Ah-hang saw when Jin-seong wore the set.
In a sense, it was the true form of having become one with the deregiment of the black disease.
For Ah-hang, who couldn’t quickly grasp or analyze that kind of item, it was a natural question since he had nowhere else to rely on but Jin-seong’s ‘friendly answer’.
Of course, Jinseong couldn’t tell.
He just opened his eyes wide as if he was surprised for a moment and then burst into laughter.
“Dog? You mean I looked like a dog? Phew, I guess that’s how you describe it. But you know, I misspoke.”
“What are you talking about-.”
“I absolutely hate being called a dog.”
Not only did he get another piece of good information from Ah-hang, but it was also an expression that was enough to make Jin-seong himself ‘drag and drop’ angry.
[Click, click, you are such an insolent human being. I will tear your limbs apart right now.]
“Whoa?!”
────, ────, ────!
Jinseong launched an even faster and fiercer attack towards Ah-haeng.
The speed and power had increased to the point where even Jinseong himself had to be a little nervous, and it was such an overwhelming feeling that he even thought he might be swayed rather than wielding it by his own will.
‘When that human equipped it, it didn’t have any special effects. Is it because I was granted a set effect? Is it because the original items were made into a set that my entire body looked like it had changed?’
Just imagining his body covered in armor shaped like a sleek beast, Jinseong couldn’t help but smile happily.
‘In that cartoon, huh, a berserker! Did it look like that concept? Hehe, the berserker is actually this human job right in front of me.’
The pleasant fantasy about Berserk was short-lived.
Jinseong took a moment to collect his thoughts and then opened his mouth.
“How is it? Even if you put in all the power of Yang-Eol, it’s going to be overwhelming, right? It’d be better to surrender quickly. Oh, by the way, as you said, ‘a possessed person cannot run away from a fight’… Of course, you have to tell me all the information I want before you go.”
“Don’t make me laugh! I’ll be finished once I get used to the movements of the divine sword!”
Ah-haeng was evil.
Jinseong drove the wedge into Ah-haeng once more.
“Aren’t you used to the footwork of the new sword?”
“Say something impossible – no, don’t talk to me, you son of a bitch!”
Ah-haeng shook his head and swore instead of answering.
And that was enough for Jinseong.
“Hmm, hm, I see. So you’re saying that there are restrictions on ‘dragging and using’ as well, like ‘by part’? Whether it’s categorized by the part of the item, or by the shape, name, or nature of the item-.”
“Do you think I’ll tell you?”
Ah-haeng raised his hand in the air. In an instant, blood-red energy gathered around him.
Kwaaaa …
It was one of Berserker’s area-of-effect skills that caused damage to a fairly wide area with an explosion, but it did not reach Jinseong.
“I already told you everything, so what are you talking about… I can tell just from your reaction right now. Hehe.”
Jinseong, who had been far away, was smiling.
It was an incredibly enjoyable experience for Jinseong.
If you just scratch it gently, it will start spitting out information, so should I see this as showing off or as a lack of will to lose?
‘In the past, if I wrote something on the community, they would rush in and try to criticize me. Thinking about it, even if I tried to point out my mistakes, if there was nothing to find fault with in the end, I was the kind of person who would pretend to know everything by bringing up news about DnF, which was in service overseas… ‘
How terrible are habits!
Jinseong thought that perhaps the reason Vivi found out Ah-hang’s name was because Ah-hang, trying to show off in front of the innocent Vivi, confessed everything himself.
‘Then, the reason I can overwhelm Ah-hang is because… … In the end, it’s because I have many ‘dragged parts’, or more specifically, because I’ve equipped several ‘powers that belong to the original or origin of the item’.’
He is one part.
All other physical abilities will remain the same as Ah-hang’s current state, so improving only his hand movements could actually be a hindrance.
But what about Jinseong himself?
All five parts of the set are worn.
If we conclude that it is because of this difference that it can overcome the gap between the other epic grade equipment worn by Level or Ahang.
[Keep kek kek… … . I wasn’t able to pull out even 1% of the power of ‘me’ that was in the dimensional crack.]
Heukgu, who was following the same flow as Jinseong’s thoughts, muttered.
Jinseong answered in a small voice that Ah-haeng couldn’t hear.
“Hey, that’s a lie. Even though Direjiga is strong, it’s limited to the disease area. It’s not that much of a physical ability. Since both me and that human are low level, I guess it worked.”
[… … Should I withdraw my strength right now, Jinseong?]
“I don’t think you should threaten with something like that, Mr. Heukgu.”
[Mr. Black Goo?]
“The other self of the Black Disease Direzier… but can you do it by gathering strength like that? It’s like when you put on the equipment, it automatically activates at that point – right?”
[Ah, ahem, I am the master of power and I am here with you. Do you think something like this could happen without my permission, Jinseong?]
“That’s it… Now I have to ask that person again.”
Jinseong grabbed the .
At the sound of the saw blade rotating more fiercely, Ah-hang, who was recovering his stamina from a distance, flinched.
The reason I had such a pointless conversation with Heukgu was not so much to organize my thoughts as to give Ah-haeng time to recover his stamina.
“……shit.”
Just being pointed at Ah-hang caused him to react violently.
The confidence and even arrogance he had when he first met Jinseong was nowhere to be found.
“You can’t beat me unless you add some sword ankle socks, sword shorts, sword knitwear, or something like that. You know what I mean, now that I’ve done this much.”
“There was something like that.”
“……Look at this. You’ve become so serious that you can’t even joke around. Are you still going to keep doing this?”
Jinseong asked with a sigh.
Ah-haeng bit his lower lip.
“That’s right! Are you going to continue? Just tell me quickly and go! Ah-hang, you weren’t originally like that! Back when you were Gilma, you were a bit unlucky to show off, but you were also a good person with a lot of knowledge!”
Vivi’s screams were actually scratching Ah-hang’s pride, but there was nothing he could do.
Ah-haeng, who had been glancing at Vivi, slowly lifted his hat.
Jinseong gave a warning right away.
“By the way, if you choose to continue, you won’t even have time to heal anymore. I’ll put all the combos that I’ve been ‘intentionally’ using as a duel arena into a fight combo.”
“……I haven’t revealed all my abilities yet. I’ve just been lenient up until now-.”
“Please think carefully about whether this is true or not. From now on, you will have to risk your life.”
Ah-haeng gritted his teeth at Jin-seong’s ultimatum.
Vivi, who was watching from the side, also agreed with Jinseong’s opinion.
“This is complete bluff, 100 percent! You’re the type that doesn’t have many adventurers in the original game, so what are you saying now!”
The mechanic of the female gunner profession, who was nearly 180cm tall, was jumping up and down despite the considerable distance, and the sight of her enjoying the joy of victory was an act that drained the energy of both Jinseong and Ah-hang.
However, that couldn’t last long.
“What? Who are you talking to now?”
Another voice was suddenly heard.
“huh?”
Vivi turned her head in surprise.
Jinseong and Ah-haeng, who were also focused on Vivi, were the same.
A character suddenly stands next to Vivi.
Seraphim of the female priest class said.
“Who were you talking to just now?”
It was obvious that she was a user.
This is because even for the users, the nickname is displayed above their heads.
So, not only Bibi, but also Jinseong and Ah-haeng could read the letters.
Vivi barely opened her mouth after seeing the nickname ‘Purely Healing’.
“No. It’s not a conversation.”
At her extremely awkward reaction, Sunsoo quickly turned his head.
As soon as Seraphim glanced at Vivi, his clear eyes turned to where Jinseong and Ah-haeng were standing.
It may seem like a place a little far away by street level, but what does it actually look like on the town map of the game Dungeon & Fighter?
“When I was a child, I used to act like I was smart and all”
“100% bluff or something.”
“Then what does this mean?”
Above all, how should we deal with the words and actions of Sunsoo, who had already heard the story that Vivi was talking about and was pretending not to know?
Vivi had to keep her mouth shut now.
Jinseong also couldn’t move an inch.
‘How can purity be here- Since when… …? No, rather, what I just said… … .’
It might be okay if Vivi’s words included words like bluff and one hundred percent.
But what did Pure say before that?
What words are included in her speech, which she recited following Vivi’s words?
‘Pretending to be a know-it-all during my Gilma days… … Even after Vivi said that – I was still talking to Ah-haeng.’
How far did you hear the truth?
What if Jinseong heard himself and Ah-haeng talking?
What if you know but are pretending not to know?
What would [Let’s Fight!] look like to Pureo right now?
How long have I been here?
In the end, how did Sunsoo see Jinsung?
Pure said.
“Weren’t you talking to Jinseong?”
Gulp.
The sound of swallowing saliva was quite loud.
This is probably because not only Jinseong, but also Ah-haeng and Bibi are both feeling similar tension.
