Light of Arad: The First to Walk - Chapter 126



Only Noblemtl

126

Jinseong recalled his memories of the martial arts competition.

Even now, it is certain that this is one of the main scenario quests that must be completed when developing a character in the game Dungeon & Fighter.

‘I’ll probably do it when I reach my level. It’s the right flow for Shonan Asuka to be curious about the adventurer’s skills. It would be a waste to waste time looking for Shiran, so I thought, why don’t you try participating in a martial arts tournament?’

Siran of the Sword, one of the four Weapon Masters.

As soon as the adventurer arrives at Arad after rescuing the celestial princess, he receives a call.

Siran is looking for herself.

The adventurer, who received this news from Aganjo, one of the four Weapon Masters, heads to the country of Suju and heads to Siran, who was looking for him, but he is away.

‘It’s not easy to find a drunkard who is practically a vagabond… … In some sense, he’s a vagrant. Shonan Asuka, as the king of the country of Suju, promises to find Shiran, and since it may take some time, please attend the martial arts tournament in the meantime. I want to see your skills as an adventurer. That’s it.’

Jinseong nodded, recalling the main scenario quest flow of the character he had most recently raised.

If things had gone as planned, it should have gone that way. If you were a user.

‘If that’s the case, it should be a tournament format where you meet opponents of a level that is at most level 66, 67, or 68!’

The martial arts tournament that Jinseong himself must participate in now is the Jin: Blue Dragon Tournament.

In the past, there were Jin: Yellow Dragon Competition and Jin: Blue Dragon Competition, but Jinseong knew that their meanings had changed significantly.

‘In the past, people used to go there to farm for things like Intense Aura, which is a material for reforging, or invitations to Hell Party. The level requirement was also quite high. But after that became meaningless, there were actually no users who went there.’

However, current Dungeon & Fighter game users will probably know about the Jin: Yellow Dragon Tournament and the Jin: Blue Dragon Tournament.

In some ways, it is bound to leave a stronger memory than the Yellow Dragon Tournament or Blue Dragon Tournament that you experienced while progressing through the main scenario quests.

‘The current users are coming here for the second awakening quest.’

The first awakening quest for all professions takes place in the town of suffering, Reshphon, at level 50.

The next place to proceed with the second awakening quest is right here, in the country of Suju.

Even though he is an adventurer who has become strong enough, he still runs into some walls due to his lack of experience.

This concern is what helps the sword’s Siran set in the right direction. At the same time, it mentions the posture and attitude, determination, and even proof of power in handling such power, and it sets the conditions for completing the quest by participating in and winning the Jin: Yellow Dragon Tournament and Jin: Blue Dragon Tournament.

‘I like that kind of content… … Dungeon & Fighter isn’t a story game for nothing. Some jobs have a certain emotional code that makes me feel sad for no reason. But what’s important to me right now is this!’

The problem is not the flow of such main scenario quests.

What’s important to Jinseong is when to proceed with that quest.

‘Second awakening is at level 75! I’m only level 66!’

Kwaaaa …

“Whew!”

Jinseong quickly flew away.

It was natural for all sorts of random thoughts to run through my head, as I was thrown into that situation and had to confront the people right in front of me.

* * *

“How long are you going to run away!? You came here on His Majesty the King’s recommendation!”

“Damn it! I wasn’t running away for nothing, ‘Sun Cool’ is here too!”

There was only one reason why I focused on evasion even though the enemy was right in front of me.

Just like [Let’s Fight!], the main skills including ‘Mukyugi’ start going on cooldown immediately after the match begins.

In other words, it meant that it was a disadvantageous situation for Jinseong to approach first because he had to fight with basic skills, weak attacks, or ‘normal attacks’.

Wheeee …

Jinseong lifted .

“Now the sun cool is all gone! !”

And then it just rushed in.

The combo that followed from Jinseong, who was able to hold the enemy in front of him as he crossed over them, and move his stopped body again with perfect timing unlike his flustered opponent, was enough to make the enemy faint.

“Winner! Jinseong!”

The cheers of the Suju people surrounding the martial arts competition erupted along with the referee’s voice.

“Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!”

“It’s more fun than I thought! I was wondering what kind of skills an outsider would use-.”

“It’s already your second win! Come on, come on! Make it more fun, outsider!”

At least, this is the extent of the enjoyment for Jinseong.

Although there are cheers when a game is won, I have never felt such individual reactions and cheers.

Jinseong entered the players’ waiting room, raising his hand appropriately and responding to the cheers.

The awkward smile that had been on just a moment ago disappeared in an instant.

‘Whew… … I still have to fight two more times. Compared to the round of 16 and quarterfinals that I’ve won so far, the semifinals and finals will be more difficult.’

Jin: The martial artists participating in the Blue Dragon Tournament have skill usage patterns and equipment conditions that are by no means easy.

Moreover, it was not something to be complacent about, as this was only the second match in a tournament that started with the round of 16 between the 8 players from the West and the 8 players from the East.

If there is one thing that Jinseong can be at ease about, it is that he has not yet found any ‘users’.

‘I don’t know because they didn’t show the entire bracket… … Ugh, they used to show it to me when I participated as a user.’

Even though the players’ waiting rooms were scattered here and there, Jinseong had a rough idea of ​​the faces of the people on the east side he was assigned to.

I don’t remember all of their individual names, but the fact that no nicknames appear above their heads proves that none of them are users.

That’s enough.

‘Well, I haven’t really encountered many users. After hearing about the time limit from Shonan Asuka, I wandered around and saw some users, but… … They were all either sub-characters or basically just evil spirits.’

Most of them were users who carried around a full set of avatars and terminal level creatures.

It can be seen that Jinseong himself is not at a level where he can do the quest related to , which is one of the reasons he came here.

In the end, since there would be no contact between them and Jinseong himself, it was possible to conclude that there would be no contamination in the Jin:Blue Dragon Tournament martial arts tournament.

‘But it’s too early to feel relieved. Even if the East is like that, we still haven’t properly figured out the West.’

Among the participants in the martial arts competition, only a few people have been confirmed to have been assigned to the west.

At least it’s certain that there are no users, but we can’t rule out the possibility that unexpected characters will appear.

‘If the humans from Kurundal had popped out, it would have been quite a headache. If even a hundred NPCs had appeared… … .’

A hundred NPCs who manage the Kurundal region.

Dungeon Area: An NPC you can meet in front of Kurun Mountain. Recently, quests related to the Dungeon Area: Kurun Mountain have virtually disappeared, so most users may not even know that such an NPC exists.

And that’s not all.

‘For now, Banya will be a member of the Suju Anti-Madan. If Banya comes out, it will be more than just a headache.’

In addition, there is another NPC that users encounter in the Kurundal region, and that is Banya.

Even if you haven’t played the game Dungeon & Fighter for more than 10 years, if you’ve enjoyed it at least in the last 5 or 6 years, you’ve definitely heard of this NPC, Banya.

‘It’s only relatively recently that Largo came into existence. In fact, the three-stage transformation was originally done by Banya.’

It is an entity that blocks the path of users regardless of whether it is the main scenario quest or dungeon or raid.

What if a person like that suddenly pops out as a participant in the Jin:Cheongryong Competition?

Just imagining it makes Jinseong shiver.

‘Anyway, it’s fortunate that no one has appeared yet, including Banya, or any other characters that would appear in a quest. The western game has just ended, so next up is the eastern game, my turn.’

Jinseong took a deep breath and grabbed the handle of .

With two people from the East and two people from the West remaining, Jinseong will play first, and then the two people from the West will appear, so the task of confirming all of the participants will be completed first.

Most of the information about the fighters appearing in the Yellow Dragon Tournament and the Blue Dragon Tournament has been entered into Jinseong.

“Himari… Hehe, you look familiar.”

And the person he was about to meet now was someone who made Jinseong smile.

“And the one who will deal with Himari is… an outsider who makes Suju excited, the Principality of Bel Myer, a member of the Magician’s Guild, Jinseong!”

“Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!”

“I’m more excited about this technology!”

“It’s a good bet, it’s a good bet!”

Jinseong entered the stadium amid cheers from the audience.

What attack patterns does Himari mainly use and how to deal with them.

‘A Nenmaster who jumps into the air and sets himself on fire as soon as he starts. Be careful of the shadow.’

Himari, a Nen Master fascinated by the power of fire.

The fire clones she launches after jumping high up and coming down inflict fatal damage on anyone who touches them. She can even detonate them at will, causing even more fatal damage to her opponents.

From the user’s perspective, it’s quite disconcerting that it’s popping out of the monitor screen, but who is the real deal?

‘You just have to avoid Himari’s shadow part. You can do this with your eyes closed.’

Compared to other martial artists who launch a fierce attack right from the start, Jinseong had to buy time in the beginning, so he was bound to be an easier opponent.

The bell rang, signaling the start of the showdown.

As Jinseong had expected, Himari jumped high as if flying, and the floor of the stadium where her shadow was cast began to catch fire, but Jinseong remained relaxed.

Just take a piece of red paper out of your [Inventory] and stick it on your body.

[Keep kek kek… … Don’t you think it’s fatal, Jinseong?]

“What’s so fatal about it? There’s no restriction on item usage in the first place. Oh my, it’s warm.”

The weapon he used was the he bought from Kanna.

He, who was going to experience the main scenario quest beyond the in the future, could not have just come to the country of Suju without any preparation.

“My, my attack- why? How did my clone’s attack using the flame Nen-”

Himari’s attack pattern of slowly descending from the air may be extremely annoying to some users, as they are only hit and cannot attack, but it was different for Jinseong.

“It’s noisy, come down quickly. I’ll finish this.”

Wheeee …

Rather, Himari was dumbfounded as she felt herself slowly falling into the pit of hell.

From then on there was nothing to see.

The match was decided by a couple of genuine attacks that could not even be called swordsmanship.

“S, the winner, Jinseong! This is a surprise! How long has it been since an outsider made it to the finals of the Jin:Blue Dragon Tournament!”

“Wowaaaaaaaaaah-!”

“I knew it! Hurry up and decide on the western finalist!”

“Stick to me, stick to me! Come out!”

The referee and the people in charge of the game once again cheered enthusiastically towards Jinseong.

Jinseong nodded with an expression that showed that he had now adapted well and started walking towards the east players’ waiting room.

“Huh? Wait… Ah, this is breaking news. In the match to choose the finalist from the West, Mutou has naturally won by default due to Jargal III’s withdrawal!”

“……Huh? A win without a fight?”

But those steps had to be stopped soon.

The referee’s voice, which suddenly rang out loud, contained remarks that Jinseong could not understand.

‘A win without a fight? Is there such a concept? No, since it’s not a competition where users participate, well… … I guess there could be one if there were to be.’

I’ve never experienced this in the game Dungeon & Fighter, but it doesn’t make sense.

Anyway, isn’t this the Jin:Blue Dragon Tournament taking place in the reality of Plain:Arad?

It was quite possible that someone would withdraw due to stomachache or sudden poor condition.

“So naturally, the finalist has been decided, the finalist from the west who will face the outsider from the east, Jinseong, his name is eeeeeeeee-!”

Still, Jinseong had to be embarrassed.

Because of the career of the person you have to deal with.

“A member of the Fengfengryu and runs a dueling hall named after himself.”

And then because of the name of the person being called.

“Shizuki!”

Jinseong’s eyes widened.
